Ch.189189. Performance of the Mythical Box (2)

Box management was truly revolutionary.

Boxes could be stacked in the warehouse, and you could select and retrieve only the needed items from the mythic box without having to search through all those boxes individually.

This is an absolutely sweet option that players of Farming World don’t even need to waste breath explaining.

“This is amazing.”

“It’s nice not having to go to the warehouse.”

“Oh! We can take out materials from here too? That’s great!”

Judging by Kim Sujeong, Lee Jihyun, and Kim Sol’s reactions, everyone welcomed this feature.

It’s an insanely awesome new function even to someone who has nothing to do with Farming World.

And that’s not all.

The mythic options are just beginning.

“What’s anti-decay, oppa? Is it what I think it is?”

“Yep.”

“Insane!”

Anti-decay has a somewhat awkward name, but simply put, it eliminates expiration dates.

It prevents food from spoiling.

In other words, it also prevents corpses from decaying, so you could leave monsters without butchering them and do it later at your leisure.

Well, since there’s not much need for that particular use, you can think of it as a feature that helps keep meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits always fresh without wilting.

What makes this mythic option so incredible is that it doesn’t just apply to the mythic box alone.

[Anti-decay effect is activated for all boxes in the base.]

[Temperature maintenance effect is activated for all boxes in the base.]

While box management and auto-sorting unfortunately don’t apply to all boxes,

these two options apply to every box, allowing all boxes to be used like mini-freezers.

Moreover, freezers merely slow down decay by freezing and thawing, but this completely stops the aging process of food, showing an absurdly powerful effect.

Plus, this concept of “boxes” is flexible enough that refrigerators and freezers can also be used as “storage containers.”

This isn’t particularly special conceptually.

Just as solar panels could be recognized and installed as fixtures within the base, various items installed in the base are categorized differently, and refrigerators or freezers, while not having inventories, are considered “boxes” with space that can be installed in the base.

I brought in a refrigerator that keeps things cool,

a kimchi refrigerator for storing kimchi,

a freezer for cold storage,

and also a warming box for keeping hot food in the kitchen.

“From now on, I’ll put cooked food here, so anyone who’s hungry can just take what they need.”

When you put food in right after cooking, the box maintains its heat before it even has time to cool, so whenever you’re hungry, you can take it out and eat it as warm as if it was freshly cooked.

“The mythic box is seriously awesome, isn’t it?”

“Well, it is SS-rank.”

It changes the quality of life.

Even the legendary box with just auto-sorting has been serving us well for days now, so how many months or years will this mythic box take care of our cottage’s convenience?

No lie, I spent half the day repeatedly going out to look at the mythic box, coming back in, and then going out to look at it again.

Right now, it’s honestly a bit too luxurious for our cottage, but I felt that once we renovate the cottage into a large mansion, it could serve as a dazzling decorative piece that would steal attention wherever it’s placed.

“Whew. This dimensional rift was successful too.”

I’ve been really busy this time.

As soon as I arrived, I cleaned up the swamp area, helped the Naru tribe, leveled up the chaos stone purification cauldron to extract purification stones for quests.

Then I received the main quest from the level 2 biome and completed it in just a few days while progressing through it almost immediately.

The actual time spent wasn’t much different from usual, but having finished the main quest so quickly makes it feel like I’ve spent a long time here.

The surprising thing is that even after all that, there’s still a lot left to do.

– Create auction items

– Mine copper mine for 2-3 days

– Clean up mountain goblins and put them to work in the mines

– Open A-rank random accessory boxes x2, A+ accessories x2, S- rank accessory x1

– Blood eel stamina tonic – Lee Jihyun

– Mud potion – Lee Jihyun

– S- mana stones, various gem cutting and accessory making – Kukum

– Try enhancing Kukum’s purification

– Recruit village NPCs

And now I need to organize quest rewards on top of all that.

“Oppa, when are you going out this time?”

“Why?”

“Just wondering. It feels like we’ve been here a while this time. Not that it matters, I’m just curious. You usually tell us your schedule around now.”

“I still have a lot to do. Does anyone need to go out?”

“No.”

Kim Sujeong also comes over to ask.

Since everyone has to go through me to leave the farm, I’ve already told them to feel free to speak up if they want to go out.

There’s no need to be uncomfortable about it.

Now that login/logout stacks up to 3 times, people can come and go freely unless there’s a situation where multiple people want to leave on different days.

“I was thinking it might be better if you announced it regularly. If there’s a set schedule, it’s easier for us to decide whether to go out or not when we’re on the fence. It’s not about inconvenience, it’s actually more convenient for us. Makes planning easier too.”

“Is that so? Sure, I’ll write it on the board. If nothing’s written, assume there’s no schedule yet.”

“Okay. I’ll let the others know.”

We shouldn’t stay in too long either.

While it’s important to develop in the dimensional rift, I also need to pay attention to Farming Company in the real world.

Since I only have one body, deciding where to spend my time is quite an important consideration.

In the old days when I was just playing Farming World, I would have ignored reality except for sleeping or bathroom breaks, and lived in Farming World forever.

“I might go out once sometime this week.”

From what I can see, nobody particularly wants to leave right now.

Kim Sol packed enough supplies for several months when she first came here and keeps saying how happy she is every day and how she wants to live here forever, openly trying to seduce me while enjoying an extremely comfortable life. As for Lee Jihyun, I feel bad even asking since her daily routine is so set, like a cat’s, that she doesn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

If anyone would go out, it would probably be Kim Sujeong, since she’s busy growing Farming Company and working hard on YouTube.

Sujeong should go out when needed.

“Ah, it’s so fun lately that I’d like to hole up here for months too. If only it weren’t for Farming Company…”

Since everyone seems to be managing well, I don’t think I need to coordinate schedules for them.

I have plenty of my own tasks to focus on anyway.

I decided to start with the last item I added to my to-do list.

Reward organization.

I needed to clean up achievement points and other rewards I’d earned from the level 1 swamp biome but hadn’t sorted through yet.

As always, being stingy leads to waste.

There’s no need to hunt with penalties when I don’t have to.

“Wow… that’s a lot.”

My quest window, which had zero quests when I entered the level 2 Steam Forest biome, now had a total of 7 quests.

One was Kukum’s sub-quest, but excluding that, there were 6.

The rest were explorer quests again.

Before organizing,

This time I decided to complete all the sub-quests, hidden quests, and explorer achievements before reviewing them all at once.

“I’ve already revealed 50% anyway.”

The Steam Forest wasn’t particularly large for a level 2 biome. It had a large corrupted steam forest in the center with an ecosystem formed around its perimeter.

It was about 40% the size of the level 1 swamp biome, and I had already revealed about 50% of the map from what I’d explored, so it looked like I could finish in a day or two.

So I set out immediately, stayed up all night, and by the next evening, I completed the novice explorer quest.

[Quest Complete!]

[You have become a Novice Explorer.]

[You are now qualified as an Intermediate Explorer.]

[Quest Complete!]

[You have become a Novice Master Explorer.]

[You are now qualified as an Intermediate Master Explorer.]

I earned the Master Explorer title after completing regular sub-quests, explorer achievements, and even the hidden 100% biome exploration quest.

This title doesn’t have any special effect, and the hidden quest similarly rewards a [Novice Master Explorer Badge (Normal)] with its effects.

[Hidden Quest]

[Achievement – Novice Explorer 3]

[The true master of dimensions begins by knowing every map thoroughly without a single hidden spot.]

[Let’s reveal 100% of the Level 2 biome.]

[Reward: 7 Achievement Points, 50,000 Farm, 40 Farming Stat Points, Base +40P, Base Teleportation Portal(E) x2, Novice Master Explorer Badge(Normal) x1]

I gathered all the rewards together.
