Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

49

Minhyuk calculated how many pairs of twin rings he needed.

The surveillance network utilizing the rings was similar to an air defense surveillance network that detects enemy fighters early and sounds the alarm.

Because the purpose was to find the approaching dragon flying in the sky in advance.

First, he drew a huge oval with the fortress of Tami and Asdel as the focal points in his head.

He would deploy scouts at regular intervals on it.

Then a surveillance line would be created.

If he made the surveillance line not just one, but two or three layers, a surveillance network would be formed.

Considering the size, flight altitude, and visibility of the dragon described in the ancient book, he could roughly calculate the interval between scouts.

If the interval was set in that way, the number of scouts needed would come out.

“I guess I need about 900 pairs of rings.”

He finished the calculation effortlessly.

Minhyuk was exceptional in terms of memory and calculation skills.

Anyway, he had to buy at least 900 packs of Chapssal Ice.

He would buy 1,000 packs generously because he would distribute them not only to the scouts but also to the staff officers.

Minhyuk began to put Chapssal Ice in the shopping cart.

There weren’t many in the display case.

He had barely gathered 100 of them when he had filled them all up.

Minhyuk asked a nearby store employee.

“Excuse me, do you have any more rice cakes?”

“How many more do you need?”

“900.”

“Please wait a moment.”

The employee went to the freezer to get the stock.

While waiting, he looked at other ice creams.

Then he noticed an ice bar he used to enjoy when he was young.

＜Ssangssang Ice Bar＞

It was an ice bar with two sticks attached to it, so you could split it and share it with a friend.

Sometimes it would split evenly, and sometimes one side would have more.

He thought he had once fought with a friend over who would get the bigger piece.

Suddenly, he became curious.

What would happen if he put that in the refrigerator?

Since it was called Twin Twins, would it turn into a Gaon that could teleport?

The possibility was very slim, but there was no guarantee that it wouldn’t happen either.

‘I’ll know if I put it in.’

Minhyuk also put a twin popsicle in his shopping cart.

After a while,

The store employee brought a large cart full of rice cakes.

It seemed difficult to carry it all at once in a shopping cart.

“Can I borrow the cart for a moment? I’ll just move it to the car and return it.”

“I’ll just carry it to your car.”

Minhyuk went to the checkout counter with him and paid for the ice cream.

And moved to the truck.

Thanks to the kind employee, he was able to carry all the ice cream at once.

“Thank you.”

“Drive safely!”

Whizz-

Minhyuk used the lift to lift the ice cream onto the cargo bed.

And closed the cargo door and started putting the ice cream in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was large, so all 1,000 rice cakes fit in at once.

He also put the twin popsicles in one corner.

“Return.”

BAM-

With a flash of light, he returned to the commander’s barracks.

When he checked the inventory, all of the rice cakes had turned into twin rings.

And the twin ice bars,

＜Wooden Goblet＞

– A wooden cup commonly used by the people of Asdel.

At the Teal Inn near Calf Square, mead is sold in wooden cups just like that.

I was hoping for something splendid, but something completely different came out.

Well, my expectations weren’t that high in the first place, so my disappointment wasn’t that great either.

Minhyuk handed a pair of rings to the princess.

“This is?”

She was startled by Minhyuk’s sudden action and her face turned red.

And soon, her face turned even redder in embarrassment.

Because Minhyuk handed out rings one by one to the other staff officers as well.

The princess felt resentful of herself for being swayed by Minhyuk’s meaningless actions.

‘Why am I acting like this?’

Minhyuk explained to the staff officers about the anti-air surveillance network he had envisioned.

Then, General Drake opened his mouth.

“That’s a truly magnificent idea!”

“I’ll mobilize 900 scouts immediately.”

“Yes, sir!”

General Drake hurried out of the barracks to carry out Minhyuk’s instructions.

‘That takes care of the surveillance network.’

There was something else Minhyuk was preparing for.

He couldn’t protect the magic beads from the dragons with just an anti-air surveillance network.

‘I need anti-air weapons too.’

He needed long-range weapons capable of threatening the dragons to prevent them from approaching the heart of Teidon.

Minhyuk headed straight to the forge.

There, Valin was working hard on something.

It was the new bows to be distributed to the soldiers.

The crossbows currently in use had too short a range to be used as anti-air weapons.

When hunting land beasts, they could just get close enough to the beasts for the range.

However, they couldn’t do that against dragons flying in the sky.

“It’s all done!”

Valin showed Minhyuk the completed bow.

“I poured all my insignificant talent into making this based on the blueprints you gave me, Commander!”

Minhyuk had drawn up blueprints for bows that were considered excellent, from the Korean traditional bow, the aegisal, to the modern compound bow, and gave them to Valin.

Minhyuk didn’t know much about the structure of bows.

However, using his innate ability to memorize, he was able to draw similar structures of various bows he could find on the internet, as he traveled between this world and the other world.

Based on the blueprints he received from Minhyuk, Valin analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each bow and created a new bow that had never existed before.

“Thanks to you, Commander, I was able to do work that made my heart race for the first time in a long time!”

Valin had made not only the bow, but also special arrows to be used with it.

The arrowheads were made of star metal.

“It won’t kill a dragon if it gets hit by this, but it’ll hurt like hell!”

According to ancient texts, the bones of a dragon were stronger than star metal.

But its hide was stronger than a dwarf’s anvil but weaker than the metal of stars.

So, it is possible to hurt a dragon with an arrow tipped with the metal of stars.

Minhyuk put the bow and arrow in the refrigerator.

In the past, the refrigerator was too small to hold a large bow and a long arrow, but now it was enough.

“Return.”

BAM-

Minhyuk returned to the back of the truck.

‘I hope it’s something easy to obtain.’

First, he opened the refrigerator door containing the bow.

There was a golden object inside.

It was round and slightly smaller than a lollipop.

‘A bezoar?’

It was a bezoar pill that was taken when surprised or nervous.

It wasn’t cheap, but there was no problem procuring a large quantity.

‘Great!’

The bow was successful, and now all that remained was the arrow.

Minhyuk opened the freezer door.

‘What the heck is this?’

There was something strange inside.

First of all, it was small.

Minhyuk picked it up and examined it closely.

The shape was round and slightly elongated.

And it was translucent and wobbly.

‘Could this be it?’

Minhyuk ran to the store.

He went to the display stand selling health supplements and asked an employee.

“Is this Omega-3?”

“Yes, it’s a product that’s currently on special.”

Heaven has helped!

The arrow had been changed to an Omega-3 pill.

This was also not cheap, but it was good for procuring in bulk.

One container had 100 or 200 pills.

Come to think of it, not only the arrow but also the bow was in this corner.

The bow was the bezoar pill, and the arrow was Omega-3.

Minhyuk began to fill the shopping cart with bezoar pills and Omega-3.

As the items on the display stand were not enough, he asked the employee again.

“Please bring me all the bezoar pills and Omega-3 you have.”

“Please wait a moment!”

While waiting for the employee, Minhyuk looked at other products.

A large promotional message caught his eye.

＜Be filial to your parents!＞

＜Ginseng grown for 11 years, 5 roots for 400,000 won.＞

Ginseng was on display at this store.

Ginseng is a plant in the ginseng family that is grown in mountains designated by the Korea Forest Service, not in fields, and has passed the quality inspection of the Korea Forest Promotion Institute.

Therefore, it was much more expensive than ordinary ginseng.

‘What would happen if I put that in the refrigerator?’

If not only ginseng, but also wild mountain ginseng changed into something easy to obtain after being put in the refrigerator and then taken to the other world, I could get my hands on a large amount of expensive ginseng in the real world.

Actually, I had a similar thought before.

What would happen if I put gold bullion in the refrigerator?

If it changed into something easy to obtain, I could secure a large amount of gold bars.

However, it would be difficult to sell the gold bars and use them.

I could sell the gold bullion anonymously, but that would only increase the amount of cash with an unclear origin.

I already had a huge amount of that kind of cash.

Therefore, for Minhyuk, selling the gold bullion to make money was a waste of effort.

However, ginseng was a different story.

I could fabricate its origin as much as I wanted.

Couldn’t I just say that I dug it up from someone else’s private land?

Or I could buy a mountain in a place where land is cheap and say that I dug it up there.

Anyway, I’ll figure that out later and focus on safely moving Teiden’s heart to Asdel Fortress for now.

.

.

.

Minhyuk filled the refrigerator with Whanghwang Cheongsimhwan and Omega 3.

“Return.”

BAM-

With a flash of light, he returned to the smithy in Tamern Fortress.

Minhyuk moved to an empty lot.

“Inventory.”

Rustle-

A huge number of bows and arrows poured out of the refrigerator.

He called the quartermaster and instructed him to distribute them to the soldiers immediately.

It wasn’t necessary to distribute them to all 200,000 of them.

No, that was absolutely impossible.

The enemy wasn’t ground troops, but dragons.

What would happen if a 200,000-strong army fired arrows randomly at dragons flying all over the sky?

Hundreds of thousands of arrows that missed their mark would fall on the heads of our own troops.

The arrowheads made of star metal could pierce through the armor of our troops and take their lives.

Therefore, the new bows and arrows would only be distributed to the soldiers who would form the defensive line closest to Teiden’s heart.

In addition, the first line of defense was planned to consist of Asdel soldiers with rich combat experience.

Barin gathered the officers and explained how to use the new bows.

Since it’s a compound bow with a mechanical structure, you could break the bow or hurt yourself if you don’t know how to use it properly.

The officers will learn first and then teach the soldiers later.

Minhyuk taught anti-aircraft machine gun shooting to the officers.

When shooting at flying objects, you have to predict their flight path and shoot in front of them instead of aiming directly at them.

From Noble mtl dot com

The most useless training I had during my military service was anti-aircraft machine gun shooting at incoming fighter jets.

‘Who would have thought I’d actually use this?’

.

.

.

Time flew by and the day of departure for Astel Fortress arrived.

Minhyuk looked up at the sky.

The weather was clear and the visibility was excellent.

He had already deployed the scouts.

“Load Teidon’s heart onto the cart!”

They had built a cart to transport the magic crystal.

It was an iron cage made of astral metal with wheels attached to it.

They had attached long, sharp spikes all over it so that the dragon couldn’t easily snatch it.

So it looked like a hedgehog.

Rumble-

The soldiers moved the magic crystal from the underground fortress and placed it inside the iron cage.

Now they had finished all the preparations for their departure to Astel Fortress.

“Let’s go!”

Booo-

The bugle sounded.

And the army, which had been standing in formation, began to move.

Thud-thud

Thud-thud

The sight of the 200,000 strong army marching in unison with perfect rhythm and speed was awe-inspiring.

However, the princess and the staff officers were anxious.

‘Please don’t let the dragon appear before we reach the fortress!’

***

A huge creature flew into Teidon’s territory.

It landed next to Teidon’s body.

And it looked at the body with its large, vertically slit pupils.

A large wound on its chest, cut by a sharp weapon.

The wound smelled of metal.

That was enough for it to know that a human had killed Teidon.

The dragon lifted its head and looked into the distance.

It had sensory organs that could detect magic power.

It could sense a concentration of magic power far away.

Taydon’s heart was pounding.

SWOOSH-

The drake spread its wings and soared into the air,

And flew straight for the mana crystal.
