The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 83

Chapter 83

The constellations used soul stones, which could be created by collecting souls under them, as a type of currency. There were numerous constellations gathered around Earth, making various treasures and goods available for purchase using soul stones.

Choi Yeonseung accessed the constellations’ Game of Stars. Numerous constellations were talking through message windows.

[The ‘Storyteller Who Likes Gossip and Explanations’ is selling new information.]

[The ‘Endless Gourmet Seeker’ is seeking gourmet ingredients.]

[……]

There were so many products that it was hard to read them all. Fortunately, he got used to it after watching it to some extent. As expected, the popular constellations had been on Earth for a long time and were ranked advanced or higher! They had a lot of treasures, information, power, and minions.

The newcomers below the intermediate rank tried to obtain soul stones by doing those constellations’ requests or demands. If they failed to increase their household members or minions, they could increase their strength by earning soul stones.

‘There isn’t much of a difference between constellations and humans…’

Were the rules of all worlds the same?

Choi Yeonseung looked for a constellation selling items or buildings.

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ says she sells beautiful architecture.]

-Can I see the architecture?

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ welcomes you.]

The Snake of Alcohol and Dancing lined up the buildings she was selling.

White Serpent Tower: 100,000P.

Serpent’s Pit: 85,000P.

Pond of Recovery Wine…

……

‘Gasp.’

Choi Yeonseung groaned at the prices. The soul stones were only as valuable as the souls they contained. They were calculated and converted accordingly. Choi Yeonseung’s current points were…

‘1800P.’

He thought he had received a lot, but it was a small amount according to the constellations’ standards.

‘This…’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it’s ashamed. It apologizes for not being able to give more.]

‘No. It isn’t your fault.’

-I’m sorry. There is nothing you can buy.

Choi Yeonseung didn’t feel embarrassed because he had no money. He had starved many times before he became a hunter. His mental state had been sufficiently disciplined thanks to those moments. Sometimes he had money, and sometimes he didn’t.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says not to try winning in terms of mental state. Instead, think about deceiving the constellations and getting soul stones.]

‘What can I do here?’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that the incarnation of training still has some shame. Humans on Earth seem to get paid through all types of methods…]

Visiting Earth appeared to have had a bad effect on the Cat of Lava and Magma. It was too provocative!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says to take off your shirt to fight it.]

‘… I’ll take that into consideration…’

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ asks if you dislike the items.]

-No. I just don’t have the soul stones.

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ is requesting a conversation.]

-What? I accept.

-Haaahh… Thiiis.. type of thing? I’m?alsooo…

-……

Choi Yeonseung was surprised. The constellation sounded extremely drunk! Hwang Gyeongryong made similar tongue-twisting sounds when he was dumped by his girlfriend in the past! He had wondered what type of constellation the ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ was, only to find out she seemed to be literally drunk.

-I?madeee…. Those things… I thought you didn’t like it very?muuuuch…

-I really like the Pond of Recovery Wine. If you don’t mind, can you wait for me to collect enough points for it?

In fact, the buildings the ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ sold were a bit aesthetically strange. They were bent, twisted, and dizzying! It was as if they were drunk as well! The constellations were arrogant and noble. They never bought anything that didn’t suit their tastes.

However, Choi Yeonseung was different. He had zero aesthetic sense! Choi Yeonseung only looked at their performances.

‘The Pond of Recovery Wine is excellent for training. I can just throw the orcs into it… It would be even better if I could take some back to Earth.’

The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ seemed very satisfied with Choi Yeonseung’s words.

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ is delighted!]

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ sends an ‘Eight Great Grain Wine’!]

-Why are you doing this?

Choi Yeonseung gratefully accepted it.

[Eight Great Grain Wine:

Drink it to recover all injuries.]

-… Seriously, why are you doing this?

Choi Yeonseung’s voice became even more?polite. He was a human constellation from a capitalist society, so he couldn’t help it! It was a simple yet powerful and fraudulent drink. Choi Yeonseung took the bottle with gratitude and placed it in his space necklace.

-Why?aaaaaaam?I… The things I sell… Many?don’t like them…

Choi Yeonseung wasn’t aware of it, but the ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ was one of the highest-grade constellations and one of the first constellations to come to Earth.

A formidable powerhouse! She had just one bad hobby—severely retaliating against the constellations who browsed her wares and didn’t buy anything. She couldn’t forgive those who dared insult her. Due to the rumors, there were now quite a lot of constellations who didn’t bother checking the items the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing sold.

Choi Yeonseung was different. He rushed in fearlessly, which made her really like him!

-Youuuuu’reeee…. the new constellation who fought with the Warrior Stained with Madness and?Blooooood?

-Yes.

-Fightiiiiiing.

-Thank you.

-Eeeeeeeh. No need. My child still needs the edge… I can’t give you just this.

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ is sending over the ‘Pond of Recovery Wine’!]

[Choose a place to put it!]

“……!”

Choi Yeonseung’s eyes widened. The pond?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ urges you to quickly accept it!]

-… No. There’s no need.

-Why?

The Snake of Alcohol and Dancing sounded sharp for the first time. A strong power of existence filled her drunken voice.

-You’ve already given me enough. I really want that product, so I’ll just save up enough money to buy it.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you’re crazy!]

‘I’m not.’

It was a pity since Choi Yeonseung was a monster, or a constellation, born of capitalism. However, he also had his own pride. The Snake of Alcohol and Dancing appreciated Choi Yeonseung. Hence, he couldn’t continue accepting such gifts from her. It was too much.

[You have carried out your will. The power of your existence has risen!] Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐/velbin(.)com

At this moment, Choi Yeonseung felt his power of existence boil over. The power of a constellation increased even when his pride and self-respect prevailed. It would increase if he stayed true to his pride, even if he lost.

-Youuuu… I really like you. I will cheer for you in the?futureeee.

-Thank you.

The Snake of Alcohol and Dancing seemingly became happier due to Choi Yeonseung’s remarks. Compared to the other constellations, he was a breath of fresh air!

[The ‘Snake of Alcohol and Dancing’ says she’d cheer for you, then ends the conversation.]

***

‘Nothing has been solved, though.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ grumbles at your words.]

All he managed to do was increase the amount of his alcohol. Should he sell it for soul stones?

Choi Yeonseung looked around a bit more, but it was hard to find what he wanted. The constellations were failures as merchants. They sold things they liked, not what others wanted! As a result, Choi Yeonseung had trouble getting what he desired.

Why were they even selling things like ‘Temple of Plague and Pus’ or ‘Life-sucking Fish Tank’? All the orcs would die! Moreover, the items that were actually useful were extremely expensive…

As Choi Yeonseung wandered around, he received a message window.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ is asking if you’re looking for something.]

-Ohh…!

Choi Yeonseung was slightly excited when he saw the constellation’s name. It had ‘merchant’ in it! This merchant constellation could be selling actual goods, unlike the constellations who sold trash that only they cared about.

-I am, but I’m short on soul stones right now. Do you have anything cheap…?

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ tells you not to worry. He says he has everything that everyone, from the highest-grade constellations to low-grade constellations, could need.]

-Ohhhh!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ feels a bit suspicious.]

The Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny showed Choi Yeonseung his wares.

Building Box (low-grade, chaos): 1,000P.

Building Box (low-grade, chaos): 1,000P.

Building Box (low-grade, chaos): 1,000P.

……

-……

Choi Yeonseung looked serious. No, this bastard?

-Are you looking for someone at the store to sell these things at 1000P each for? If these things you’re selling are just garbage in a box, I’m going to start a constellation battle!

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ protests that that isn’t the case. He vows on his name and honor that he will never deceive you.]

[Building Box (low-grade, chaos):

Primordial chaos is swirling inside. If you open this box, Opening this box will cause one of the various structures a constellation realm requires to appear.]

The wanderer’s words were real. Choi Yeonseung was surprised. There was actually a constellation who did this type of business! The Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny was a low to an intermediate-rank constellation. In terms of his power of existence alone, he was weaker than Choi Yeonseung. Nevertheless, he had a reason to stay on the fierce battlefield called Earth. He wasn’t here for Earth itself. He was here to do business with the constellations who came to this planet!

‘I see. So this is also possible.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it feels friendly!]

Somehow, the merchant’s way of thinking was similar to the Alliance of Small and Medium-Sized Constellations. His objective wasn’t to become the best. Rather, it was to profit from the side as others fought!

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ recommends buying the more expensive boxes if you want something better.]

-Will you give me a discount if I buy two?

[… The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ says he will give you a 200P discount if you buy two. This is your first transaction with him, so he’s willing to give you that service.]

Choi Yeonseung’s negotiation tactics seemed to have amazed the Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny. Why did this constellation, who seemed to be powerful, make deals?

-I’ll put them to good use.

[The ‘Wandering Merchant Who Sells Destiny’ says to keep using it in the future if you like it.]

***

[The Building Box has been opened!]

[Chaos flows, and destiny is decided!]

[Old and Worn Warrior’s Sanctuary (30 days):

Once installed, your minions will gain the skill ‘Power of the Ancient Warrior.’ It is old and worn out, so it will collapse after 30 days.]

‘Not bad. I should save it for when I actually need it instead of using it now.’

Choi Yeonseung opened the second box.

[The Building Box has been opened!]

[Chaos flows, and destiny is decided!]

[The power of destiny has grown stronger! A higher destiny will be determined.]

‘Huh?’

[Temple of the Shining Elves:

Allows you to learn the skill ‘Elf’s Shining Bow’ upon installation.]

“……”

[……]

Choi Yeonseung and the constellations became silent. Wasn’t…

Wasn’t this the Arrogant Light Elf’s building?

‘The Arrogant Light Elf gifted Elf’s Shining Bow to his household members…’

Something like that actually came out. It seemed that chaos was living up to its name. If this became known, then the Arrogant Light Elf could be very displeased. It was as if another constellation had stolen his skill. No constellation would like it…

-Install.

[The installation is complete!]

Of course, Choi Yeonseung didn’t care in the slightest. If things?became?twisted, then he’d just result in a constellation battle!
