-I will work and earn the money, will you travel together with me then?
Lee Hyun didn"t expect this reaction.
"It"s winter vacation soon"
Less than three weeks were left till the end of the semester.
"How much will you be able to earn?"
I never tried it so I still.... How much do you think I need to gather?
Seoyoon"s eyes were sparkling as she was expecting him to answer.
She did not understand society and being unfamiliar with the world she would receive the bitter taste of the world
Lee Hyun, emphasized on an ordinary travel, and replied
"If we"re talking about the sea it will definitely be in the South or Jeju island. In that case transportation will take at least ₩450000 while food should be about ₩800000. Are we gonna stay there?"
Even if they ate sashimi every meal, it was highly unlikely it would cost ₩800000, regardless Seoyoon nodded. Since they couldn"t just spend their time just traveling there and back. She wanted to spend the night talking while drinking wine.
"The hotel room would probably cost us ₩50000000, we"d have to grab two rooms. Also, if we were to eat Cider(Sprite) and eggs on the train as well as get some souvenirs, we would need at least ₩5000000 or ₩6000000.
Lee Hyun suggested an amount that was absolutely unmanageable.
"A part time job over the winter break will not be enough to collect that amount"
Even though the said amount was ridiculous, Seoyoon nodded anyways.
Lee Hyun had said, in order to make a promise. "You have to earn the money by yourself through hard labor, otherwise it doesn"t count."
-Alright.
* * *
Weed spent the last 20 days making nature sculptures in the mountains of Dekarte.
"I"ve spent a long time just focused on sculpting."
The quest didn"t let him hunt, he could only create sculptures, now he was running short on time.
Alone in this environment he could create many great sculptures, however he couldn"t create classic or masterpiece sculptures without taking his time and working at a relaxed pace.
"A sculpture made of Dew!"
Weed made sculptures early in the morning.
He collected the basic materials needed for the sculpture.
While squatting down he ripped up the grass to collect the dew off of them.
With his ever growing nature affinity, he could make a much wider selection of nature based sculptures.
Weed made a water elemental, this was his first masterpiece made from nature sculpting.
Masterpiece! A water elemental made with Dew
Creation and nature was a means to improve the level of sculptures, so he only collected clear dew.
In the trees and on the ground, mixed with the scent of flowers, he was actively playing with the different methods of creating the water elemental. It was a lively expression and deserved high praise.
Of the sculptures within the Versailles Continent, very few depict nature!
However, because he was an undead sculptor his work suffered and he was going crazy.
Artistic value: 898
Special options: People who see the water elemental made of dew will have their health and mana regeneration increased by 12% for one day.
-Reduces mana needed to summon water elementals.
-Will satisfy your thirst for a long time.
Does not overlap with other sculptures.
Number of Completed Masterpieces: 89
-Sculpting proficiency has increased
-Dexterity proficiency has increased.
-Nature Sculpting proficiency has increased
-Reputation has increased by 263.
-Stamina has increased by 1.
-Intelligence has increased by 1.
-Art has risen by 8.
-Creating a masterpiece has increased your nature affinity by 9. Increasing nature affinity will improve the scope of nature sculptures you can carve.
Due to creating a pure sculpture, the power of undead is purified and reduced by 6.
Weed was committed to working on his sculptures.
He gained proficiency with animals and plants, particularly with the plants.
While in his undead form, he worked hard. As a side effect of being an undead he could work without rest.
However, as good as that was, nature sculptures had purification properties.
"Divine power reduces the power of the undead."
One good thing was that he didn"t have to give as much money to the Freya Religion"s Pope Candidate Alveron.
"Unfortunately, this sculpture is a masterpiece."
He had collected Dew to make a water elemental sculpture.
Owing to the natural heat granted by the reflected sunlight, it would soon be ruined and disappear.
But it was too wasteful to leave the Sculpture in its place at Daesan in Tebkart.
There was no raw material cost, but it had been very difficult, collecting the dew had taken a lot of time
"Creating a natural masterpiece for the first time, I"m not able to leave the sculpture."
Free sculpture!
Weed decided to write on the water elemental sculpture.
By releasing the water elemental, it could be summoned by writing, there will also be an increase in the degree of affinity with nature.
Elementals also help with growth, though currently useless, after a while, by managing a few, one or two could be formed on the ground as food to eat.
Weed uses his skill on the sculpture.
"Create Elemental!"
Ttiring!
New elemental created.
160 art stats are consumed.
-Sculpting proficiency has increased.
-Elemental creation is now at beginner level 6
Elemental creation sculpting will improve the abilities of new and existing elemental abilities.
-Nature affinity increases by 75.
-Reputation has increased by 440.
-Attractiveness has increased by 74
The cute looking water elemental growled loudly
"You are the sculptor who made me! How dare you make me look this weird, are you prepared to die?"
It was the most spoiled sculpture ever created by Weed.
He acted like a little kid, a jigging kindergarten.
"Identify!"
Name has not been given yet
Water Elemental.
He was born as a nature sculpture.
Created with a bad attitude. The water elemental has no patience.
Looking at him from top to bottom he didn"t understand.
Can exert 71% of its power from the elemental plane.
It is possible for it to become a greater elemental.
Through the Elemental Shaman"s summons and earthly life activities, summons more elementals as well as increase the force exerted.
Specialties: Water shield, providing purified water, has extraordinary intellect.
Creating the elemental itself was successful. He didn"t feel that the personality was a big issue.
New born elementals have to learn a lot of things when they first come to life, simply talking with it a little should win it over.
"I suppose we should talk a little"
The elemental was completely ignoring him!
Weed gently pulled out his Saint Staff.
Peobeobeobeobeok!
Painful, fast, and efficient.
Hitting and smacking it over and over again, he lacked any sympathy and continued hitting the same sore spot.
"You"re supposed to say thank you to the person who made you."
Puck peok peok!
"Apologize for a minute ago......"
Puck peok peok!
"MY HONORABLE MASTER!"
There was a sudden change in the water elemental's attitude.
Weed put the Saint"s Staff away in his backpack.
"I will become your teacher so you will have good education."
His personal thoughts were that he was a fine educator!
The water elemental was the unlucky student of Weed"s Elementary School.
"Your name is Droplets."
He named the elemental Droplets because it was an elemental made of dew
"Thank you for my name, my honorable master."
A slim and cute water elemental was summoned and tempered by Weed like a blacksmith using a furnace
"I"ll need to grant life once more to the Geumini."
He was not confident he would be able to grant him life.
Be that as it may, to keep putting it off was only delaying it. Someday he would have to try.
The sculptures were created at Tebkart in Daisan. In his current situation where his sense of sculpting remained high with water, he decided.
"Let"s go and try now."
DayCram was going someplace to create nature sculptures.
Weed collected fallen branches to light a fire in the furnace for heat.
The Masterpiece Sculpture Geumini was created from melted gold.
"To make and form..."
The mold of Geumini"s body was simple as it was formed by putting together soil
Art found in the city of Rhodium were detailed memories that remained, but as for Geumini, it was a memory that would last for a long time.
Pouring the gold onto the mold, waiting until it was sufficiently cooled, Weed was impatient to make other sculptures!
Worries often emerged thinking about the operating design of Geumini.
"Geumini does not listen well to words and he is also not that pleasant. Having so much work, how am I going to manage..."
Waiting for gold to pour into the mold took a while.
"It"s done."
Removing the mold by breaking it out from its place, Geumini"s appearance was formed once again.
Weed"s memory was extremely accurate. Comparing it to the original, he felt that it was a waste that the new Geumini was cracked and a little short, but otherwise it was still the same.
"It"s fortunate Geumini was created using gold. Granting life to wood or stone, the physical materials would have to be gathered, the hold on the original body would also be very weak."
Weed"s eyes, nose and mouth were meticulous after the repair skill was cast.
"Grant life to sculpture!"
Stats have been reduced, 2 levels have been lost, and 6 art points have been consumed.
-The Sculpture with life has obtained the use of its body. Due to the water attributes possessed and found in life, new life will be gained.
Memories of Sculpture skill is invoked.
Sculptures will regain memories of their life, but will be confused.
Again, at that point in time, the increase in Art stat and sculpture effects did not apply. The Sculpture before, would have had a 5% level decrease.
Sculptures that are granted life slowly awaken, but unlike them, Geumini instantly opened its eyes.
When Weed was looking at him, Geumini shook his head and started talking.
Please give me my name."
A dry and rigid tone!
"In the end you didn"t recover your memories."
The friendship they had cultivated was over, this was Geumini"s eternal goodbye.
"Rover will grieve a lot. So will Seoyoon."
Rover treated Geumini like family. Seoyoon would be sad and shed many tears.
Hwaryeong and his other friends will be saddened as well by Geumini"s death.
"Your name is Geumini"
"Yes, master."
"Sleep comfortably"
"Yes."
Once again Weed began making nature sculptures.
In the trees far above, Wah-il, Wah-thul and Wah-sam were sitting.
Geumini was diligently trying to shake hands with all of them. They all burst out laughing.
"Golgolgol!"
Weed inquired.
"You are Geumini right?"
Geumini shook hands and bowed respectfully.
"A little while ago I was given that name, master"
"That"s a bit weird."
Weed was feeling awkward near Geumini.

Chapter 6: A Sculptor who wanders the Continent
— Everything's alright now... and Seo Yoon's speech problem is already gone as well...
Seo Yoon decided to get a part time job to save up money.
"Getting a job isn"t easy...What kind of work can I do?"
Because of her school schedule, the easiest part time job she could get was probably going to be a cashier.
The only problem was that her lonely life made the idea of socializing very difficult.
"I guess it"s true that people change and work harder because of money"
After the lecture, she wrote her resume and headed towards a restaurant that was hiring part timers.
It was paying 5,300 won with a bonus depending on how much they sold
Seo Yoon held out her resume for the manager.
Name: Seo Yoon Jung
Age: 21
Occupation: Korea University Sophomore
Skills: English, Chinese, Japanese, International Law, Accounting, Business Administration, Psychology.
Never had someone applied to a restaurant with such an impressive resume!
The store manager laughed while asking, "Have you ever worked in the restaurant industry before?"
"I have not. Does this mean I can not work here?"
The manager felt almost 50 years younger as he listened to Seo Yoon"s voice.
"This world is really nice, isn"t it?"
A pretty female college student with a voice like an angel.
Just her voice could make anyone smile.
"How long do you plan to work here?"
He wanted her to work the entire winter break.
"I have a lot of things to do...but I would like to work evenings during the week?"
Because of the job"s focus on service, a lot of people applied to restaurants which made getting a job very difficult.
But every now and then there was an exception.
"Can you start work today?"
Immediate pass!
Starting immediately Seo Yoon"s job was to greet the guests at the entrance of the restaurant.
"Welcome."
"Is there a long wait here? Heuk!"
Seo Yoon stepped out of her comfort zone and into a new world.
For a long time, she had closed herself to both curiosity and romance.
"Rib eye steak and sirloin steak please."
"Would you like anything to drink?"
"Orange juice and soda please."
The guests dining inside kept glancing at Seo Yoon..
They didn"t even notice the taste of their expensive food.
"Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty."
"Oh, if only she would look over here once..."
==============================
"Blazing flames will instantly vanish but the afterglow of the flame will remain. Try making a sculpture of fire"
Following Daycram"s instruction, Weed made fire and smoke appear in the air
"Nature Sculpting!"
The flames danced as he moved his hand.
He was so close to the fire that he was sweating and everytime he got too close his health would fall sharply.
Sculpting the fire with his bare hands was both showy and difficult.
"Still, Nature Sculpting is very versatile."
Each time he touched the fire, his Nature Sculpting skill rose considerably.
Trusting his Resilience and Perseverance, he made both a fire dragon and a flaming boar.
The effects of fire manipulation varied based on one"s level in Nature Affinity, so to raise the affinity even more, he made a Spirit of Wind as well.
Woosh Woosh!
The Spirit of Wind was cheap to make and had a bright and wandering personality.
