Ch.109109. Hair Loss Medication Recipe

“Can you really make this?”

Jihyun Lee asked with a skeptical expression.

It was understandable.

After all, hair loss medication doesn’t exist in the real world.

“I heard alchemists want to make hair loss medicine more than anything…”

“This is real.”

“…Wow.”

She examined the recipe seriously, then tilted her head.

“The ingredients aren’t as difficult as I expected?”

“The Hair Growth Fruit is the key ingredient.”

“There are actually quite a few inhibiting herbs in here.”

“That’s because the fruit’s effect makes hair grow all over your body.”

“Fascinating. Hmm… wait a moment. I think I need to check the storage.”

I stopped Jihyun as she was about to search the storage and made her an alchemy workbench.

“Whoa! Amazing! This is just like a game.”

While hunters’ systems might also look like game systems, being able to check if you have the ingredients for craftable potions right at the workbench is a privilege unique to the Farming World.

“…Can I take this to use in the real world too? It seems so convenient.”

“I think it only works in the base, so probably not.”

Hunters ultimately receive system adjustments and skill effects, but those only serve as assistance. When crafting potions, you still need to measure and add each ingredient manually.

That’s why Jihyun’s elixir made from ogre blood is taking so long to create.

She has to figure out exactly how much ogre blood to mix with other ingredients to match the elixir recipe.

Anyway, it’s undeniable that coming here is definitely more convenient than dealing with real-world systems.

Jihyun’s reaction makes that clear.

“Can I just do alchemy here? Wow… there’s even an elixir recipe. Can I learn it, boss?”

“You can handle all the alchemy stuff yourself. It’s your points anyway. You’ll need to earn Farm if you need it. I can loan you some if I have extra.”

“I’m learning it right away.”

The elixir recipe is quite demanding, from what I hear.

It costs 10 farming ability points and 10,000 Farm to buy one recipe page. If I were to sell it, I’d need 100,000 Farm to buy it.

I’d say it’s a total rip-off, but since NPCs spend expensive farming ability points to unlock recipes, it makes sense they’d want to make a profit.

Thinking about this, I wonder if I could have made Kim Sujeong an NPC for the farming shop.

But then again, there was no specific mention of placing Sujeong at the farming shop when running it.

Looking at it that way, there might be additional conditions for each shop.

As I watched Jihyun go upstairs to install an alchemy workbench in her room, I made my own plans.

“I should finish the achievement quest during this login.”

There’s not much else to do in the Level 0 biome now.

I’ve checked all the major points, and while a farm would be nice to find, that’s something that may or may not exist, so there’s no need to go searching for it specifically.

Above all, I’ll eventually discover everything while mapping anyway.

After completing the mapping, I should receive the Level 1 biome mapping quest and move on.

Looking at the sun high in the sky, I went outside.

“Map.”

By [Day 28], I’ve illuminated quite a lot of the map.

Revealing about 30% of this large Level 0 biome is quite an achievement.

The mountainous terrain to the west was the most recently revealed area.

Today I decided to use [Leap] to explore the path leading to the mine.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

I began mapping quickly while flying through the sky.

———————-

Kim Sujeong was happy.

“I can’t believe I’m traveling all around America.”

Kim Suhyun never got to travel abroad because he was always playing games, but their family, while not exactly wealthy, was well-off enough to send Sujeong on overseas trips.

She had experience traveling from nearby Southeast Asian countries to Europe once, but America was her first time.

Moreover, traveling to America on a private jet would probably be an unforgettable experience for her lifetime.

Plus, Kelin wasn’t just wealthy but also influential—whenever Sujeong mentioned a place she wanted to visit, Kelin’s employee who accompanied them as a guide would arrange everything, eliminating any waiting time.

After taking pictures at Times Square, visiting all the famous restaurants, and returning to Kelin’s house, she found that Kim Suhyun wasn’t there.

“Ah. He went home.”

Any concerns about being alone had been completely forgotten in the midst of her romantic journey.

The luxury of filling a bathtub overlooking the New York night skyline, adding bath salts, and enjoying a glass of wine was too perfect.

“I wish my brother would make a lot of money so we could live like this.”

Just because her family has some money doesn’t mean Sujeong can spend freely.

Moreover, as she had spent quite a bit on hunter equipment with her C-grade magician talent in pursuit of success as a hunter, she hadn’t been able to even mention travel for the past few years.

This is why people work hard for money.

Although she wasn’t the one who earned it, she was still trying her best not to feel too guilty.

She was learning to cook and researching farming information online that might help grow the farm.

What crops to grow and sell for the most profit.

And after this vacation, she would need to start researching how to cultivate better varieties through breeding.

That’s why she intended to rest comfortably while she could.

“Ahh. This is so nice.”

No hotel suite would be better than this place.

She had a drink while bathing, and was enjoying another glass after getting out when Kelin arrived.

“Oh, Kelin unni.”

Clay had told her.

That she could use this place during her American trip.

Sujeong hadn’t offered a single word of refusal.

“Thank you. I really love it here.”

“You can live here if you want.”

“Really? Would I be okay as your neighbor?”

“As Suhyun’s sister, you’re my sister too.”

She really had done everything possible.

“Can I take a picture with you?”

“Of course.”

They took a photo standing by the window overlooking the New York night skyline, arms linked.

All these photos would be uploaded to her social media.

While she had been asked not to post photos taken on the private jet for security reasons, after Suhyun’s treatment was completed, she received permission to post anything.

She was planning to take photos throughout her American trip and upload them gradually anyway.

“Unni, could you possibly appear on my brother’s YouTube channel sometime?”

“Of course. Just call me anytime. If you need help with dungeons, I can bring my party.”

“…You don’t have to go that far…”

“I really want to run dungeons with Suhyun.”

In the past, she would have bowed deeply out of respect.

Kelin, an SS-rank hunter.

The main damage dealer of SAINT, America’s top-ranked guild.

A global star she would never have expected to meet in her lifetime was now actively expressing interest in meeting her brother—there were so many ways this could be beneficial.

Especially for growing a YouTube channel, Kelin with her over 200 million subscribers would be like tapping into a sugar source so sweet it could send someone to the hospital with diabetes.

Moreover, Kelin was famous for never collaborating with others.

Yet why did she feel so indifferent about it?

After pondering for a moment, Sujeong realized she’d been seeing scenes like this quite often lately.

“You might need to take a number.”

“Pardon?”

“For my brother. There are a lot of women after him. Of course, you’re the most perfect woman I’ve ever seen, but my brother has some… unusual tastes.”

It might have been unnecessary to say, but Kelin’s expression became a bit more serious.

Anyway, Sujeong thought that a woman like Kelin wouldn’t really be interested in her brother.

That’s why she felt comfortable saying such things.

Leaving Kelin to her thoughts, she wondered where to go tomorrow.

In the midst of this, she did feel a bit concerned.

“I wonder if Jihyun unni is doing well.”

It seems she does care about the farm after all.

Even while enjoying her trip without a care, she still thought about the responsibilities she’d left to her deputy.

And her brother’s picky eating habits came to mind.

She had arranged for Jihyun to receive alchemy ingredients and other necessities, but she worried that her socially awkward brother might say something harsh and hurt Jihyun’s feelings.

Or what if that pervert brother of hers tried something inappropriate while they were alone?

“Well, he’s not that kind of person…”

In reality, worrying wouldn’t change anything.

She had already left, and there was nothing else she could do about it now.

There was another issue at hand.

– Sujeong, what video are you planning to upload this time?

Her editor, Yoon Hyunji, was asking.

Originally, she had planned to upload a video of fighting wolves in the Corrupted Forest after the Black Monkey video, but since the dungeon backflow incident happened, she wanted to upload that first.

But she had also done a collaboration with Seo Hyoju before leaving, and that video needed to be uploaded soon too.

Which one would get the best response?

She thought the video with Hyoju would be best for provoking Kelin.

– Let’s go with Hyoju unni’s video. Can you make it look like we’re flirting a bit?

The edited video would need to be reviewed by both parties, but Sujeong had some interesting editing ideas in mind.

– I’ll try editing it first.

And that was one of Yoon Hyunji’s specialties.
