Enemies And Allies - [ Chapter - 26 ]

Ho-Seok was really happy that the King Shark was now one of his summons and what was even better was that his plan to use his special ability to negate the effects of the void ability work, it was a gamble if it would reset everything or just his player profile.

Then after that Ho-Seok started adding some of his experience points to skills he had in his previous life and other skills that could be useful to him and learning all the skills he wanted costed up almost all the experience points that he had.

So then after that Ho-Seok decided that he would buy some more information for the fourth floor from NewsTower and so he spent quite a lot of money buying it so he sold the corpses of the high leveled monsters to make up for the money.

After buying the information Ho-Seok checked all of it and he realized that a famous person from his first life was on the fourth floor right now, it was the "Alchemist God" or Astro, he was the best alchemist in the whole tower.

The tower would create titles specifically for a person if their ability was something that no one could ever beat and even the Gods acknowledged him in his first life so Ho-Seok wanted to take this chance to befriend him.

So then Ho-Seok headed to the village where the information said the Alchemist God was and so Ho-Seok immediately headed towards the village and when he got there he started searching for the alchemist's workshop in the village.

When he found the Alchemist's workshop he immediately asked, "Is there someone named Astro here?", when Ho-Seok asked this the workers pointed at the person with red hair and looks like a small child.

Ho-Seok knew it was him since that was the description of him in his past life he also had the title, "The First Child God" but when Ho-Seok saw him he wasn't doing alchemy but he was just refilling the ingredients.

Then after that Ho-Seok asked, "What does Astro do in this shop?", then one of the alchemists answered, "He is just a helper boy don't mind him, is there anything you want?", Ho-Seok was surprised that he didn't start out with alchemy.

But then Ho-Seok said, "I want to hire Astro for my own store and I will pay you handsomely to take him off your hands." when the alchemists heard this one of them asked, "How much?" then Ho-Seok chuckled.

Then he said "How much do you want?" then they started talking to each other and they kept contemplating about how much they should ask because they thought if they ask to much he might go away.

But in reality Ho-Seok would've accepted any price for the Alchemist God then after a while they said $10,000 and then Ho-Seok immediately brought out $15,000 and said, "The extra $5,000 is just a tipe for you guys.".

They were all extremely happy of a measly $15,000 but they didn't realize they just let go of a gold mine for just that small amount of money but he understood they saw him nothing other than a helper boy.

So then Ho-Seok took the boy then he brought the kid to the capital of the whole fourth floor then he boight a store and put it under his name and created his own business called "God-Level Alchemy".

The little boy Astro was confused why a strange man bought him and so he was scared that he was going to become a slave then Ho-Seok told him, "Astro, right? I will help you become the best alchemist in the whole tower.".

When Ho-Seok said this a little glow appeared in his eyes and asked, "Really?" and with full of confidence Ho-Seok said "Of Course! You have the talent that no one could see but when you bloom they will be asking you to come back.".

Then Ho-Seok bought a bunch of ingredients for Astro and he even bought a lot of high level Alchemy gear and equipment and he also bought a lot of books for Astro to read from and showed some of it himself.

And just after a while of reading Astro was immediately able to create a low-level stat strengthening potion when this happened Astro was overjoyed and Ho-Seok said, "I knew you could do it.".

Then Ho-Seok helped Astro who couldn't read that well yet and he taught him many things for the past week and he was able to learn very quickly on how to read and was able to learn how to make more types of potions.

After a while Astro was able to make loads of potions in just a little time while his potions were 50% better than the average effects of the same type of potion and Ho-Seok kept some of the potions for himself as well.

Astro seemed pretty happy making potions and he also started creating pills, Ho-Seok saw that the Alchemist God was just like a kid, he was enjoying his new life and Ho-Seok kept 25% of the revenue they were making.

While he gave 50% back to the store and 25% to Astro, he seemed pretty happy getting an allowance but he used it all for the store again so he can make more pills and potions and Ho-Seok found that a bit funny.

[Ding! The Goddess Of Corruption has declared the Player, "Ho-Seok" her enemy, all followers of the Goddess of Corruption will be hostile towards you!]

[Ding! The Shark God has declared the Player, "Ho-Seok" his ally, all followers of the Shark God will be friendly towards you!]

Ho-Seok was surprised by the two new notifications and he was now worried of Astro since they may have seen him with Ho-Seok and he could be targeted by the Goddess of Corruption.

But luckily the Shark God made Ho-Seok his ally so all of his water attributed attacks, skills and summons were boosted greatly and his summons of the Shark Warriors and Shark King's strength improved greatly as well.
