Gold and Silver Alchemist

Chapter 23

After lunch with her grandfather, Jeong Da-hye headed to school.

It was because there were still classes for 7th and 8th periods.

While attending culinary school, her dream was to become a top chef.

Once or twice a week, she visits her grandfather, who lives alone, and cooks and eats with him.

It was her weekday event that started a few years ago when her relationship with her father and grandfather was very strained.

hmm hmm

Humming a song, her steps toward the subway station were light.

Grandpa seemed in a good mood today, so I was in a good mood too.

‘It must have been very good that you fixed the watch.’

From noble mtl dot com

When my grandfather asked a Swiss manufacturer to restore the watch, he informed me that ‘the only way is to exchange a compatible movement (movement: watch power unit) at once’.

In a word, it meant that only the shell, the housing, had to be used and all the key parts had to be replaced with new ones.

But that wasn’t what Grandpa wanted.

I wanted to revive it by fixing the painful part, not scrapping all the existing parts.

From my grandfather’s point of view, it was rather killing the clock.

The grandfather informed the headquarters in Switzerland of his intentions, and in the end, the decision was made beyond repair.

The clock that was like that was quickly fixed in just 30 minutes!

There really seem to be a lot of hidden masters in the world.

Besides, he’s a young man.

‘So cool!’

How wonderful it is to be at the pinnacle of any field.

She was determined to become a top chef in the world.

＜Apgujeong Station＞

Before long, she arrived at the subway station.

As she was about to go down the stairs, someone suddenly ran towards her.

“Hey, you b*tch! die!”

I turned around in surprise and saw a man wearing a hat, holding a brick in his hand, running towards him.

Wow-

Jeong Da-hye screamed.

It was so sudden and frightening that I couldn’t move.

swish-

The moment when a brick swung by a man is about to fall on her head.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day

The man was greatly upset.

Then he let go of the brick he was holding.

humming-

Pak-

The brick that had risen into the air landed right on the man’s head.

kook-

The man passed out after being hit by a brick he was holding.

Da-hye Jeong then grabbed hold of her spirit and shouted as she kicked the fainting man.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! I didn’t have plastic surgery! 100% natural beauty!”

and shouted to the crowds around.

“Don’t ask this person, he is an assaulter!”

Then everyone took out their phones and called 112.

Several of the men approached the unconscious assailant and kicked and shouted.

“Ah! You bastard!”

The ladies approached Jeong Da-hye and asked.

“My lady, are you okay? Are you not hurt?”

“yes I’m okay.”

“You’re welcome! It could have been a big deal!”

Jeong Da-hye’s mind recalled the crisis situation from a while ago, and her legs relaxed.

staggering-

She lost her balance and stumbled.

Then someone grabbed her with both hands.

He was a handsome and kind-hearted young man.

“be careful.”

“thank you···.”

When Jeong Da-hye tried to balance herself, the man let her go.

Then, smiling at her, he quickly disappeared into the subway station.

***

Lululala-

A hum came out of nowhere.

Buying a house in a neighborhood that is considered one of the richest villages in Gangnam.

What was once unimaginable has become a reality.

＜The next station is Yongsan Station. Where to get off…＞

We arrived at Yongsan by subway.

It was to buy electronic products to use in the new ‘My Home’.

Unexpectedly, I became very busy as the house was sold in haste.

The former landlord will call a cleaning company today and clean it up, so if you want, you can move in tomorrow.

He had only paid the down payment and had not yet paid the interim payment and balance, but he came in first and lived. He was a nicer grandfather than he looked.

‘Is it because you fixed the clock?’

Anyway, I was able to buy a nice house, so that was a good thing.

By the way, my grandfather asked me what my job was, so I suddenly said that I was a goldsmith.

‘Should I set up a real gold and silver room at this point?’

Come to think of it, that wasn’t too bad either.

The best job to buy gold with a bearer is the owner of the gold and silver room.

When local residents came to sell stone rings, gold necklaces, and gold bracelets, it was enough to just buy them in cash and not write them down in the ledger.

Of course, you won’t be able to buy a large amount of gold with one gold and silver store.

However, if the number of gold and silver rooms is large, the story is different.

If you open hundreds of gold and silver stores all over the country and have golems run them, you’ll be able to buy huge amounts of gold anonymously.

‘Let’s study that way some more.’

After shopping for home appliances in Yongsan, I came over to Euljiro and bought furniture.

After wandering around so busy, it was evening and I returned to the hotel.

I didn’t go inside the hotel and headed to the food alley.

I came to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

There is a 3-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant inside the hotel, but why is the jajangmyeon at a Chinese restaurant in Eat Alley so appealing?

“welcome!”

“Please give me a large bowl of jajangmyeon and a large bowl of sweet and sour pork.”

Compared to the past, my appetite has improved, and the amount of food has doubled.

While I was splitting wooden chopsticks and waiting for my food, the news came on the TV.

＜Apgujeong Station Don’t Ask Assault Criminal Attempts to Assault Pedestrians with Bricks, Ends in Attempt.＞

It was news related to the ‘don’t ask assault attempt’ that took place at Apgujeong Station.

The scene was also captured on CCTV at the time.

Don’t ask, it was a scene where the assailant swung a brick and tried to hurt a passerby, but fell alone and passed out after being hit by the brick he was holding.

The back of a man’s head was reflected in the corner of the CCTV screen.

‘Oh, I was filmed.’

The owner of the back of the head was me.

I was about to take the subway to go to the electronics market, but it happened somewhere nearby.

＜Psychokinesis＞ knocked the culprit down, and the first time he got his head stamped on the corner of the stairs.

And secondly, I accelerated the brick in the air with all my might and hit the guy’s head.

＜The criminal is in critical condition and is escorted to the hospital.＞

It’s not to the point of death, but since you crushed the skull, you’ll be drooling in bed for the rest of your life.

Don’t ask me, most of the offenders appealed for leniency under the excuse of ‘weak mentally and physically’, so it was definitely made ‘weak’.

So that I can’t do something like that again.

If it had been solved with fists, it would have been cleaner and would have consumed less elixir.

However, the reason he used ＜Psychokinesis＞ was to avoid attracting the attention of the people around him.

It was absolutely not like a heroic mentality to do good deeds without revealing my identity like a faceless angel.

I was worried that my identity might be stolen.

There is no countermeasure on the day when your face is captured on CCTV or someone’s cell phone while helping others.

What kind of people are Korean netizens?

They say that if they do bad things, they should be punished, and if they do good things, they should reward them.

There is no such thing as ‘moderately’ when it comes to revealing personalities.

First and last names are basic, and it ends only after you have robbed everything of your job, academic background, family relationship, and even your elementary, middle and high school yearbooks.

If I became the target of netizens and even had my graduation album stolen, it would be a real big deal.

Controversy over plastic surgery may arise due to the changed face, which may further entangle things.

President Baek may find out who I am, and Chairman Kim’s son may also recognize me.

‘That’s why you should never become famous.’

But don’t worry too much.

As long as you don’t do anything that attracts attention and don’t sell your face like entertainment activities or personal broadcasts, you won’t be famous.

Just because you have a lot of money doesn’t make you famous.

How many people really know the faces of the heads of the top 10 Korean business groups?

“Jjajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork came out! bon appetite!”

Oh-

My mouth fills with saliva when I look at the glossy Jajangmyeon.

Looking at the savory fried meat and the sweet and sour sweet and sour sauce, I couldn’t stop drinking.

“A bottle of empty stomach, please.”

slurp-

I inhaled a mouthful of noodles.

I really liked the feeling of the noodles sliding down my throat.

Big-

I took a sip of the strong Baegal and put the sweet and sour pork sauce on the crispy fried meat and put it in my mouth.

The strength of the stomach, the gravy of the fried meat, and the sweet and sour taste of the sweet and sour pork sauce combined to create a ‘Mariaju’.

‘good night!’

As I savored the feast, I glanced at the man at the table across from me.

‘Why does that person keep chasing me?’

＜Perception＞, one of my magics, allows me to feel the presence of people around me without seeing them with my eyes.

And each person’s ‘color’ was different.

When I left the hotel this morning, when I visited the imported car store, when I visited the real estate, when I was choosing electronic products and furniture, and now at the restaurant…

That man kept hanging around me.

Is there a case where the traffic line overlaps like this with someone I don’t know?

‘It can’t be a coincidence.’

After leaving the Chinese restaurant, I did not go to the hotel, but headed to Hangang Park.

And came under the deserted Yeongdong Bridge.

I knew it,

The man kept following me.

When I looked around using ＜Detection＞, it was only me and him within a radius of 50 meters.

I called the guy

“Illuwa.”

“uh?!”

It’s been a while since I used ＜Control＞.

The guy walked towards me.

Looking at his expression, he seemed very surprised to see that his body was moving at its own pace.

i asked him

“Why do you keep chasing me?”

“Oh, how… what is your identity?! What have you done to me?!”

He didn’t answer the question he asked, but raised his voice by talking nonsense.

I didn’t know if I did it wrong, I might attract the attention of other passers-by.

“Shut up.”

“…”

The guy became a hapjuk.

＜Control＞ could only manipulate the actions of the opponent, not the mind, so it could make them shut up, but it couldn’t make them reveal their secrets.

So, to get the answer you want to hear, you have no choice but to torture him.

“Don’t breathe.”

Wow!

Suddenly unable to breathe, he grabbed his neck and chest and made a distressed expression.

I checked the time by looking at my watch.

After about a minute,

Wow! Wow!

He couldn’t even scream and fell over, shaking his limbs.

“Breathe.”

Whoop-

He took a deep breath and looked at me with wide eyes.

“You, who are you? how···.”
