Chapter 276

* * * * *
“So…”
The door to the treasure room opened, and the wizard spoke with a slight bow of his head before returning to his seat. With the wizard gone, Ming Hu casually followed the path down to the basement.
Jumbled
Arriving underground, Ming Hu immediately turned around and entered the Guitar Warehouse, which contained material items.
“Root… Root…”
After entering the warehouse, Ming Hu decided to start with the grassroots of Grams.
“It looks like grassroots, right?
We didn’t know what Grams’ grass roots looked like. However, we were able to make some inferences from the fact that the item name included grass roots.
“Is that it?”
Soon, Ming Hu spotted an item that looked like grass roots and approached it to check the information.

The root of the yagros, a tree that takes root at the bottom of Lake Amelas. It has many different properties. It may increase stamina when taken.
50% chance to gain +300 Health when taken
Merit required: 1.8 million
“No.”
What he thought might be the root of Grams was, alas, not the root of Grams. Ming Hu closed the information and resumed walking, searching for the root of Grams.
‘I don’t think so…’
As Ming Hu walked along, looking for the Grass Roots, he suddenly realized that there were no Grass Roots here. He could see the end of the warehouse in the distance.
“Huh?”
But it wasn’t long after that thought that Ming Hu was able to find the grassroots of Grams.

The grassroots of Grams.
The grassroots of Grams had really simple information.
‘There it is…’
There was no ingredient they didn’t have. Ming Hu smiled and looked down to check the merit required to make the purchase.
“…?”
At the very moment I confirmed the required merit, a question mark appeared on Myung-Hoo’s face.
Merit required: 10 million
“Did it take a while?
There seemed to be a lag. Ming Hu closed the information, reopened it, and carefully looked down to see the required merit.
Merit required: 10 million
The required merit hasn’t changed. It wasn’t a lag: you needed 10 million merit points to buy Grassroots.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless for a moment. The achievements of the 10 million were so enormous that they left him speechless.
“Hmm.”
After staring blankly at the required karma points, Ming Hu quickly regained his composure and opened his character window to check his karma points.
The total number of Grassroots required was 3, meaning that 30 million Merit Points were needed to complete the quest.

“45 million…
I’m glad I did, or should I say, I deserve the credit.
“Should I buy this…
However, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend 30 million merit points to complete the quest. That wasn’t the only problem.
‘Rammu’s tears are a problem, too…’
Not only did you need Grass Roots, but you also needed Ramu’s Tears to complete the quest. What if Ramu’s Tear required the same amount of merit as Grams’ Grassroots? It couldn’t be purchased.
Sigh
Ming Hu closed the character window and looked at Grams’s roots.
“Let’s start by finding Rammu’s tears.
I couldn’t just buy the grassroots of Grams. The Tear of Lamu was too much of a burden for the fraud. Ming Hu decided to see if the Tear of Lamu was here, and if so, how much merit it would require, so he set out to find it.
“I can’t imagine what that would look like.
Unlike Gramsci’s grassroots, I had no idea what Rammu’s tears would look like. We had to see them one by one.
“…was that it?”

These are the tears of the legendary beast Rammu. Rammu’s tears are so rare that they only come from his yawn once every 100 years.
After checking the item information one by one, Ming Hu was able to find Ramu’s tears. Ming Hu quickly looked down to check the required merit points.
Merit required: 7 million
The moment I confirmed the required merit, Ming Hu nodded and muttered with an expression of disapproval.
“I can live with that.”
The quest required 2 Tears of Rammu to complete, costing 14 million Merit Points. Including the 30 million Merit Points required for the Grass Roots of Grams, a total of 44 million Merit Points were required, and Ming Hu’s current Merit Points were only 45 million.
Ming Hu opened his inventory and looked at the strange map.
‘Should I… decrypt this.’
I wondered if I should spend 44 million merit points to decipher the map.
“The ingredients look like they’re going to be huge.
On the one hand, I wondered what kind of map would require such a huge amount of materials.
“I hope that’s not weird…”
After some deliberation, Ming Hu decided to make the purchase.
[Do you want to purchase Ramu’s Tears? If you do, you will lose 7 million merit].
[You have purchased Tears of Ramu].
[7 million fewer public service jobs].
After purchasing Ramu’s Tears, Ming Hu purchased another drop and traveled to where the grassroots of Grams were.
“…”
[Do you want to buy Grassroots of Grams? If you do, your merit will be reduced by 10 million].
Arriving at the grassroots of the Grams, Ming Hu saw the message and hesitated for a moment, but he had already purchased Ramu’s Tears. He had no choice but to buy it now.
[You have purchased Grassroots of Grams].
[10 million fewer merits].
“…Haha, I never thought I’d see the light of day.”
After purchasing three additional grassroots, Ming Hu sighed as he looked at his dwindling merit badge. I was happily thinking about what I could use them for, but seeing it written like this made my heart ache.
“That’s it.”
Ming Hu opened the quest window to check the quest.
<Deciphering Korran's Map
To decipher the map, you'll need 10 gold, Grams' Grassroots, and Ramu's Tears.
[Grams' Grassroots: 3 of 3].
[Rammu's Tears: 2 of 2].
[Gold: 11731524 / 10]
Difficulty Level: S
Quest Reward: Deciphered Map
You now have all the ingredients you need to decipher the ingredients. Ming Hu closed the quest window and began walking out of the warehouse.
Jab… κΈ°λ¦¬.
"…?"
As soon as he started walking, he heard footsteps ahead of him. Ming Hu stared ahead with a puzzled expression and continued walking. Ming Hu thought as he walked.
"Who is it?
The imperial treasure house wasn't just for Minghu. He wasn't the only one who used it.
"Is that Kaiser?
Ming Hu thought of the Kaiser, who was a user and held the title of Viscount. The footsteps grew closer and closer, and soon Ming Hu could see who they were.
"…huh?
When Ming Hu sees the master of the footsteps, he can't help but stop walking, and so does the master of the footsteps.
"Ying? You!"
It wasn't the Kaiser. The footsteps belonged to an old man, the leader of the Secret Knights, whom I had met here before. The old man was carrying a box.
"What is it?
For a moment, I was curious to see what was inside the box, but Ming Hu soon put my curiosity to rest.
"It's annoying if it lingers.
He had heard from the heads of the Imperial Palace's magical corps that the Secret Knights were formidable, but knowing the old man's personality to some extent, he realized that it wouldn't do him any good to stay long, and he had to get out of here quickly.
"Hello."
Ming Hu bowed slightly and began to walk quickly, but when he reached the old man's door and saw the contents of the box, he was forced to stop again.
"…!
Ming Hu stopped walking and looked at the contents of the box, a little surprised.
"That…that.
Ming Hu rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't looking at the wrong thing and looked again at the contents of the box, but he wasn't.
"…Elixir?
Elixirs, the box was filled with what appeared to be elixirs. Ming Hu looked away from the box with a puzzled expression and looked at the old man. The old man was looking at Ming Hu with a subtle expression.
"Chisel, what brings thee here?"
The old man, looking at Ming Hu, spoke up.
"I have some materials I need. What are you doing here, old man?"
"Uh, sir?"
The old man looked quite puzzled by Ming Hu's words, and then opened his mouth to say that he didn't like them.
"Nothing! Ew."
With that, the old man resumed walking and passed Ming Hu. Ming Hu turned around and looked at the old man and thought.
"I'll have to check it out later.
