The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Their fight had already ended. He didn’t intend to give back what was already in his hands.

-Examine.

[Holy Necklace Imbued With the Power of Light]

Durability: ?/?

Skills: ?

A holy relic containing the power of existence of the constellation ‘Arrogant Light Elf.’ Using it will be difficult until you get the permission or power of the master.]

‘As expected.’

Choi Yeonseung wasn’t surprised. It would’ve been more surprising if anyone could use a holy relic containing a constellation’s power of existence. It had to only be available to those who had inherited some of the constellation’s power or?was?their household member.

-Isn’t this holy relic really great? Albeit to a limited extent, it allows mortals to use the power of existence, which is quite hard to imagine.

-That’s right, but it’s like cutting off your own blood and flesh, so you have to be careful, got it?

-Yes, in fantasy novels, the one who makes a strangely strong ring never gets a good ending.

-?

Convinced, Choi Yeonseung moved on.

‘I’ll keep the necklace and manage the area a bit more.’

To be honest, he was happier that the orcs had realized the fun of farming on their own and had started to move forward than when he beat the traitor constellation and rose a little bit in the ranks. Was this the joy constellations felt when watching mortals?

-That isn’t it.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ shakes its head.]

-Shut up.

What cold-hearted constellations.

‘I’ll bring the livestock for the orcs to raise from Earth…’

This was the first time orcs were raising livestock, so he was planning to start from relatively simple ones and increase the difficulty from there. Chickens seemed like a good starter animal. Above all, bringing livestock from Earth could save him soul stones. He would still have money no matter how much he spent(since it was Hwang?Gyeongryong’s?money), but this wasn’t the case with soul stones.

‘I want to get something that can help the orcs a bit more.’

Choi Yeonseung checked his soul stones. He had used it all up last time, so it shouldn’t be much.

Current soul stones: 8200P

“?!”

Choi Yeonseung was shocked. What?

‘Did the traitor constellation also bet soul stones? No?’

[The ‘Storyteller Who Likes Gossip and Explanations’ has sent soul stones to celebrate your victory.]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ pretends not to know anything and sends soul stones…]

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ has given away soul stones to celebrate…]

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ has sent you some soul stones to become acquainted.]

“……!”

Several constellations that were against the unlikable traitor constellation sent him congratulatory gifts for his victory! The goddess of balance’s gift served more like a friendship fee, but…

-I see you’ve used her affection to extort soul stones from her, Successor. That’s a really great trick. I’ve never seen anything like that being done to a constellation.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is?amazed!]

-I will send back what the goddess sent me.

The goddess of balance sent quite a lot of soul stones, which showed how bad she thought the situation had become. Choi Yeonseung wasn’t hard-hearted enough to accept it.

Current soul stones: 7700P

‘Hm… It’s more than last time, but it isn’t much.’

The buildings made and sold by the constellations were usually around 100,000 points. There was a limit to what he could buy with less than 10,000 points.

‘I want to put buildings in the realm…’

Choi Yeonseung looked for structures that would help the orcs.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ asks if you are looking for something.]

-……

Choi Yeonseung was startled. The one who talked to him like a wandering medicine seller seemed suspicious.

-He’s still in business?

The goddess was surprised.

-To think that the constellation who used to sell boxes made by his own power is still alive.

-Do you know that constellation?

-We’re not very close, but I thought he would have fallen because he accumulated a lot of resentment. It seems he managed to hold on.

The constellations were usually narrow-minded and intolerant. Hence, they held a grudge against him when they paid soul stones for a box that had nothing useful inside. However, considering, the wandering constellation was still around, he wasn’t a run-of-the-mill tightrope walker.

-This guy isn’t selling a scam, right?

-He isn’t. What point would there be in scamming anyone anyway? No matter what he sells, he’ll profit from it.

-That’s true…

For the wandering merchant, selling anything already gave him profits.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ is recommending a good household members box.]

[Household Members Box (intermediate, chaos): 10,000P]

[Primordial chaos is swirling inside. Opening this box will summon one of the various household members a constellation realm requires.]

-But I need buildings.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ says you shouldn’t worry and asks why don’t you pick a household member who is talented in architecture?]

-… That’s a good plan, isn’t it?

-Successor, you should know that he is talking nonsense right now.

The goddess of sloth was bewildered.

-Why? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a household member that can teach the orcs all about construction?

Choi Yeonseung asked seriously. Rather than giving them fish directly, he planned to teach them how to fish! Choi Yeonseung thought it could be better for the orcs to learn how to build things than for him to buy and give them buildings. It was theoretically correct. The problem was…

-Orcs aren’t a race suitable for architecture. I actually still don’t get how you managed to make the orcs farm…

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ agrees.]

Both constellations thought negatively about his idea. Orcs specialized in combat in the Abyss. They weren’t skilled in other things like farming, construction, and herding.

-That’s because you don’t teach them. They can do it if you keep honing them, can’t they?

-……!

The goddess of sloth finally realized how the orcs learned how to farm. The incarnation of training’s power! Consciously or subconsciously, the incarnation was challenging the orcs to farm.

‘What an amazing power…!’

Usually, constellations put creatures to work according to their race. They didn’t change the race like this. The goddess of sloth was so surprised she was rendered speechless.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you don’t have enough money anyway.]

‘… That is true.’

-Can you give me a discount?

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ is speechless. You won the constellation battle… He is asking how much he should discount?]

-I can’t buy it unless you sell it for 7700P.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ is shocked by your negotiation skills!]

However, the wanderer had no other choice. He really wouldn’t get anything from Choi Yeonseung unless he gave him a discount.

[…The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ says he will only do it this time.]

***

[The Household Members Box has been opened!]

[Chaos flows as destiny is being decided!]

[The ‘Strange Rock Golem’ has emerged!]

-Not bad!

The goddess of sloth was more relieved than him. The wandering merchant had already hit the back of several constellations’ heads in the past. She was worried that the incarnation would end up being one of them. The golem exuded powerful magic power. Its body was made up of the rocks of the Abyss. A useful household member that combined combat power and loyalty!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ suggests naming it Stone Stone.]

-I think even the most loyal household members would hate me if I gave them such an insincere name. Hmm. Okay. I will go with Pagoda-Bearing God.

Choi Yeonseung chose the name of the golem based on the martial arts novels that he had read. The heavenly god who protected the pagoda!

[The strange rock golem, Pagoda-Bearing God, is touched by the name given by its master!]

For the golem, being given a name by a constellation was a tremendous honor. The golem would’ve been grateful even if it was named Stone Stone.

-What talent do you have?

[The strange rock golem humbly says that it has some talent in handling stones.]

-A knack for handling stones!

Choi Yeonseung was impressed. It was better than he thought.

-Isn’t that a really useful ability?

Excited by Choi Yeonseung’s praise, the strange rock golem shrugged and spoke using body language.

[The strange rock golem faithfully beats its chest and says to entrust it with any task.]

-Can you teach the orcs how to construct buildings with stones?

[… The strange rock golem is flustered because it thinks it heard the wrong race name.] Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/(.)c𝒐m

“Are you sure this was properly resolved?” Aine asked, in doubt. She was already prepared to bury Jerry Kuber.

“Um. I spoke with sincerity, and we came to understand each other. He said he would help me as much as he could using his work in the future.”

“… ! !”

Choi Yeonseung had assigned?Odaigon?to Jerry Kuber as an escort rather than surveillance. He doubted assassins would be sent to kill Jerry Kuber, but he wasn’t certain about what could happen in the world.

-I will do my best. I will do anything.

-Well, I have some work for you to do.

-What is it? I’ll poison the old chairman’s cup!

-First of all, make sure the company you are in charge of gets good results.

-……!!

Other than recruiting Jerry Kruber to win, Choi Yeonseung had no intention of doing anything with him. He was the president of his own company and a member of the Parker Group, but he was useless without any plans. However, Jerry Kuber seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. “Let me do it! I’ll do my best!”

It was as if he thought he was scouted because the constellation had very high expectations of him. Telling him the truth that ‘I didn’t recruit you specifically because of your abilities’ could make things crooked. As a constellation, looking into the hearts of the people below you was essential. That was why Choi Yeonseung just told him to be faithful to the business he was in charge of. He was sure Jerry would do a good job!

“Can I ask how you did it?”

“He has so many weaknesses, so I threatened to reveal them.”

“… Amazing!” Aine looked impressed.

She didn’t expect the always easygoing Choi Yeonseung could show off such resourcefulness. It wasn’t an easy task to find the weaknesses of a boss like Jerry Kuber.

“You’re close to my dad, so I thought you would be clumsy doing that type of thing.”

‘Isn’t she looking down on?Gyeongryong?hyung too much?’

Still admiring him, Aine answered a call. Soon after, her expression grew serious.

“Got it.” She hung up.

“Congratulations. I got a call saying that you’ve been promoted to B-grade.”

“I see.”

Choi Yeonseung wasn’t surprised. It was a bit late compared to his recent achievements. Being a martial artist who disappeared for a while was obviously giving the judges headaches.

“… Isn’t your reaction too dull?” Aine asked, bewildered. She didn’t expect Choi Yeonseung to jump up and rejoice, but she thought he would at least smile.

“Once you’ve gotten older, ranking up no will no longer excite you.”

“Please don’t act like an old man. You look quite young on the surface, you know. One more thing. You received a match request.”

“What match?”

“What do you think? Is there anything you are doing right now other than the UHC?”

“Ah. Can I fight a champion?”

“… How many times have you fought in the B-grade League?”

Choi Yeonseung’s shamelessness dumbfounded Aine. It was the champion’s right to choose the opponent. Considering not even those in the single-digit rankings were frequently chosen, how could he have the guts to say that? No, how could he even have the confidence to think he could win against the current champion in the first place?

“But I think you can refuse this request.”

“Why?”

“This obviously stems from a grudge. You’re being challenged most likely because of your victory over Maximilian, considering the challenger is a hunter who has signed with the Arrogant Light Elf.”
