Chapter 8

Laundry and prepared items were put into the washing machine slot.

Every time I touched the blue transparent window, the light grew stronger and I couldn’t help but tremble.

I did not relax as I looked at the side of the door where my friends were sleeping, just in case.

All objects were thrown over the portal.

Finally, I rolled up the clothesline on the veranda and went inside.

The other side of the portal was still full of mold.

The letters in front of me scrolled quickly.

『Maintaining the qualifications of visitors in the name of Mother Nature』

『Qualification: Visitors』

“Visitors can look around for an hour.”

『Name: Ahn Nam, Age: 28, Occupation: Laundry Manager』

『Stamina: 4, Strength: 11, Intellect: 10, Appearance: 7』

His stamina had dropped a lot, and his appearance had dropped by two.

‘I’ll have to keep drinking the healing water to keep it going.’

The fungal spore attack seemed to get worse.

First, I sprayed it on a nearby mold with a sprayer containing lacquer water.

The fungus melted powerlessly and died.

‘It works too. Lax is a really powerful detergent.’

We couldn’t bring all our belongings, so we left one laundry behind.

Still, there was a lot of baggage.

He had to walk while holding the sprayer in one hand and spraying the lacquer continuously.

Even a small amount of sprinkling killed the mold and made a road.

‘You’ve never seen such a strong detergent before.’

It was much easier than going through the jungle road cutting down the fungal stems.

Today, I was able to reach the forest faster than I thought.

『Purification begins.』

The wind blew again from the forest, blowing away the mold spores.

Just as I was about to take off the stuffy gas mask, other letters appeared in front of my eyes.

“The forest watches the visitors.”

『The checkpoint of the watcher begins.』

‘What is this? Are you a watcher?’

While he was bewildered, he saw something like a white cotton ball flying from somewhere in the forest with a glow.

It was not a ball of cotton, but a bunch of dandelion spores that flew right before my eyes.

Dozens of dandelion spores with white feathers wrapped around me and started spinning.

“Uh, uh, why is this?”

The scepters who had been wandering around me gathered in my right hand holding the sprayer.

The part of the seed hanging under the white feather turned red and started to glow.

The flashing red light seemed unusual as if to warn him.

“The forest doubts the visitor’s qualifications.”

‘Is it because of the locks?’

I threw the lactose barrel I was carrying into the mold forest.

Then the dandelion spores turned white again and pulled away from me.

『The forest retains its visitor status.』

‘Hey, that’s good. It must have been a disaster.’

After all, how much damage did human-made, highly toxic detergents do to nature?

It was clear that the forest was vigilant against the approach of such objects.

Laxse also kills bad bacteria, but has the side effect of killing good bacteria as well.

I felt sorry for the forest.

He took off his gas mask and headed towards the creek.

Once I brought the CD player, I put it on the rock and hit play.

Vivaldi’s four seasons resounded softly.

I could feel the pleasant waves spreading to every corner of the forest.

At the same time, my ears seemed to be getting stronger after a long time.

“I hope you like this. The speaker is a bit flimsy, but I’ll bring a better one next time.”

said in a low voice to the forest.

The sound of a small CD player enveloped the entire forest.

charrrrr.

The leaves began to make strange sounds with unusual movements.

The plants under my feet also began to shake their leaves to and fro and grew noticeably.

The seeds, which were preparing to germinate, also began to germinate and form cotyledons.

It was like a soft dance move that shook the body to the music.

A large tree in the middle of the forest began to swell.

When I turned around, I saw that the plants continued to sprout and expand the territory of the forest.

The wind, created by the movement of the leaves of the plants, swept through my hair.

As the forest grew, so did the hole in the sky.

A more intense light poured down.

I watched this marvelous spectacle, covering the sun with one hand.

‘I’ve only played one piece of music, but the forest is getting bigger and bigger.’

When I first came here, if the size of this forest had been the size of a local playground, it had doubled in size in an instant.

『Forest appreciates the visitor’s gift』

The forest is grateful.

‘Oh, I’m glad. I have something to give to the forest.’

『Forest will upgrade from visitor status to guest status.』

“Guests can look around for 12 hours.”

customer?

It seemed more like a language than a visitor.

I was even moved by the fact that I could stay here for 12 hours to raise my qualifications.

It also feels a little closer to the forest… … .

He turned his head and looked at the ruined city that existed like a mirage in the distance.

‘What is there? Can you get there in 12 hours? Maybe there are people living there?’

Curious and all kinds of thoughts ran through my head, but then I stopped.

‘Let’s do the laundry. I have a lot of work today.’

Once the plastic is unwrapped, the laundry inside is immersed in water.

There was no need to rub by hand as the restoration started as soon as water came into contact with the fabrics.

After looking at it for a while, I headed back towards the portal to pick up the laundry placed at the entrance.

I went looking for the Laxton that I had thrown away earlier and sprayed it.

The forest hasn’t interfered much with spraying it on the moldy forest, but this is the first time I’ve used such a strong detergent.

‘I have to pay a different number, but it’s too hard to keep making roads like this.’

At that moment, a pile of stones piled up nearby caught my eye.

‘Aha, we can make a gravel road.’

I have some free time today, so I thought I should try doing the laundry after all.

Before bringing back the rest of the laundry, I looked out over the portal.

It was because I was worried that my friends might wake up.

It was very quiet inside the house.

‘Good night.’

Reassured, he plunged himself back into the ruined world and headed for the forest with his laundry.

The clothes I had soaked were already like new.

The newly brought laundry was also soaked in the creek, and then a clothesline was made.

I took out the washed clothes and hung them up.

Upon receiving the miraculous light and clean air, the laundry dries quickly and swells.

My friends and Ms. Shin Se-yeon were surprised to see this outfit, so they were thrilled.

‘Now I have to drink stream water and improve my appearance and stamina.’

I drank the healing water to my stomach and filled the water tank I brought with me.

『Qualification: Guest』

『Stamina and appearance, strength and intelligence increase.』

『Maintains durability more than doubled as a guest.』

『Stamina: 11, Strength: 12, Intellect: 11, Appearance: 11』

Her sullen body quickly regained vitality, and her appearance changed a lot.

First of all, the oil and pimples that always made my face shiny have disappeared and my face has become soft.

When I touched my face with my hand, my rough, rough skin became shiny.

In fact, even if you have good skin, you don’t know how good a person’s face looks.

‘Air and light cannot be carried, but you should take this water and drink it often. Give some to your friends too.’

I desperately wanted to sleep in the sun shining in the forest.

12 hours here was two hours in the real world.

It didn’t seem like the drunken friends would wake up in the meantime.

I set the alarm on my watch exactly an hour later, and found a soft and soft place to lie down on.

The temperature was just right and the wind pleasantly brushed against my skin.

Seeing the clothes hanging on the floor swaying in the wind, I was healed.

When she was young, she remembered her mother hanging out the laundry in the yard and I lay on the floor in the yard to take a nap.

The warm sunlight disappeared and appeared as the white laundry swayed.

After a while, my father came and lay down next to me, and my mother, who had dried the laundry, also came and lay down next to me.

As she recalls her happy childhood, she quickly fell asleep.

Belt, belt, belt.

I woke up to the sound of an alarm and woke up late after a nightmare.

I looked at the time and it was exactly an hour.

She stretched out her chest and stretched her yawn in her mouth.

I thought it was a very strange sleep.

Even though it had only been an hour, he felt as if he had slept like death with an unknown depth.

The CD was turned off and it was quiet, and the forest stopped all activities like a dead mouse.

I woke up with a strange feeling, and only then did the forest resume its activities.

It was slow at first, but soon returned to the forest movement before falling asleep.

It felt like I was holding my breath while I was sleeping.

So were my parents when I was young.

When I fell asleep while playing, I walked around the house holding my breath.

I have a light sleep, so I would wake up to a small noise.

Even after becoming an adult, his sensitivity did not improve and he was always wearing a tired face from a light sleep.

I thought I had a good night’s sleep in this forest.

I haven’t had a very deep sleep in a long time.

『I have acquired the ability to simulate through imagination.』

『Can be used once per sleep.』

The letters appeared in front of me again.

‘The ability to simulate through imagination? What do you mean?’

“If you imagine doing it yourself in your head, it will have a great effect in practice.”

When the letters appeared again, I explained them, but I still don’t know what they mean.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘Ah, I decided to make a gravel road earlier. Let’s apply it there.’

I closed my eyes and simulated a situation where I was making a gravel road.

The work of laying gravel on the 100-meter-long road was not something that could be finished overnight.

‘He lightly picks up the stacked stones and throws them into the moldy forest. The blown stones are laid down one after another. Then the gravel road in the fungus forest is awesome~”

Even thinking about it, I laughed out loud at the thought that it was too absurd.

‘There’s no way this absurd idea can happen. Let’s just do it for today. If you do it little by little, the gravel road will be complete at some point.’

With that thought, I put on a gas mask and headed to the place where there was a pile of stones.

He picked up large and small stones that looked heavy just by looking at them.

Whoa!

It was lifted too lightly.

My body staggered at the unexpected light weight.

‘what? I can’t be this light. Is what the simulation says blah blah blah blah?’

Regardless of their size, the stones were as light as a ballstone made of plastic.

‘Shall we give it a try then?’

I threw the stones in my hand to the place I thought.

The realistic fall point of these stones was 2m ahead.

But this too was far beyond my expectations.

The stones flew for a long time and fell in an orderly manner at the location I thought of.

To my absurdity, it was going exactly as I simulated it in my head.

‘Is this a great ability?’

It was an ability that could only be acquired by sleeping in this forest, but it seemed like it could be usefully used if done well.

The stone road was made in an instant.

We have only been able to build 50m yet, but we had no choice but to stop because there were not enough stones around.

I had to go a little farther from the forest to get the stone.

‘I’ll have to put it off for later.’

Still, my thoughts were right.

Although mold took root on the stone-paved road, it did not grow much.

‘If everything is made, there will be no problem in going back and forth.’

Back in the forest, I rolled up the laundry, put it in a plastic bag, and grabbed a water bottle.

The CD player was meant to be left behind.

I thought about keeping the music on, but listening to good music kept getting tired of it.

Maybe it was the forest, but now that the music is on, growth or expansion has already stopped.

As I was about to turn off the music and set foot on the gravel road I made, I felt a strange aura in the creek.

‘What?’

As we got closer, the little creatures that swam freely were black and dead.

A dandelion spore was hovering above it in a red color.

It wasn’t a loud beep, but it looked urgent.

Tentacles of light emanating from a large tree tried to reach them, but they only wandered around strangely, unable to reach them.
