Going on adventures in the north is tougher than you'd expect.

The rugged terrain is challenging enough, but when you factor in the freezing cold and constant snowfall, preparation becomes key.

It would be different if it were just me, as I could handle these conditions easily.

However, the mercenaries I've hired for material gathering aren't superhumans like me.

It takes skill to find, collect, and even transport these materials without damaging them.

It makes sense why the gear of top adventurers is so pricey.

"Hehe, I think I found it."

"Already?"

"I told you, these mountains are my backyard... So, about that extra payment..."

"It will be paid as promised."

Simply put, money can solve everything.

Sure, the materials we need are pricey and rare, but they're not impossible to find.

Originally, I planned to just get by and finish the quests...

"Do we need to look for a flat area to set up our tents for the night? Does Grace's skillset cover that? It's not a monster path or a tower route, but just a level area. How are we supposed to find that? Just wander until we stumble upon one?"

[A donation of 5,000 won from '12 Years Homeless'!]

Since the sun is always shining, just sleep under it.

"Thank you, 12 Years Homeless... I just realized, the tower never gets dark, so why on earth did the merchant sell me a lantern? We need a bonfire for cooking, but..."

-Han Se-ah got tricked again

-Fooled by an NPC lol

-They say keep your eyes open wide in the city

-It's impressive that you're just realizing this now

-Did she buy a lantern without knowing why?

It's so much fun watching Han Se-ah's stream and surfing the web.

Racing around snow-covered mountains in search of a fist-sized rock versus lounging on a plush chair in a fancy inn, sipping wine and browsing the internet.

Isn't it clear which option is better?

That's why I've hired extra people using my spare change.

If I accompany Han Se-ah up the tower, I'll easily earn back the gold spent here.

"It looks like we've collected enough. Should we head back?"

"Yes. The others should have gathered by now."

I've made it to the dangerous midpoint of the mountain range, a bit too risky for intermediate adventurers.

But in the easier areas, adventurers, attracted by the gold, are scurrying around with a sparkle in their eyes.

A wealthy high-level adventurer buying time by spreading gold around.

Nobody can resist the tempting sound of jingling gold coins.

With money, I bought people and time.

The precious time in the north, bought with my hard-earned gold coins.

I was savoring that costly time, kicking back in a cozy inn, enjoying northern delicacies: ice-cold beer and fried chicken.

The beer was so cold it numbed my teeth, and the fried chicken had the perfect balance of salt and spice.

From selling spiral potatoes at a medieval market to serving Americanos and macarons at a cafe, fried chicken at an inn wouldn't be out of place in this game world.

"Would they find out right away if I made kimchi...?"

After buying all the necessary items in a rush with lots of money, I didn't feel like leaving immediately.

So I began exploring the nearby restaurants from the inn.

The room was very pleasant and clean, but the innkeeper's cooking skills left much to be desired.

Fried chicken, lamb chops, pork ribs, spicy pig's feet

These were the types of food you'd expect on a snowy northern continent in a fantasy world.

Of course, they were well-prepared for the money I'd spent, and my taste buds were satisfied, but it felt strange ordering and eating them.

I couldn't believe I was tossing gold coins at a rugged, fur-clad hunter and asking him to cook pig's feet.

"How many days has it been? About 5 days? The request should take a while, but he should return in a week, right? It's good to learn magic while hunting on the 19th floor, but..."

-Where did Roland go? Where did Roland go? Where did Roland go?

-But the scenery is really pretty, Korean camping sites just can't compete.

-Is this a gaming stream or homelessTV?

[Donation of 10,000 won from 'I used to party with a 6']

Hey, Han Se-ah, quit the chatter and go hunt some goblins.

"So harsh..."

Watching the stream, Han Se-ah seems to be getting a bit anxious.

But it looked like the worry of a streamer and a gamer, not a worry that I might never return to the party.

This was her second time camping in the tower.

She was getting the hang of pitching a tent and starting a bonfire, but as a streamer, doing the same thing over and over was awkward.

The silver lining might be that the battles are more entertaining since I was gone.

"A Helmeted Deer is heading our way. It must be drawn in by the smell."

"Well, I'll handle it."

Responding to Grace's whisper, Irene steps forward.

A white barrier comes up to stop the Helmeted Deer's charge.

Even though it's a violent charge that can snap thick branches like matchsticks, it can't leave a mark on the barrier of a 5 priestess.

The piercing gaze of the Deer, furiously battering against the barrier, shifts toward Kaiden.

The beast, perceiving the saint candidate's barrier as a wall or sizable rock, seeks fresh prey.

Its intricately twisted, sharp horns slice the air menacingly with every headshake.

"Hmm, this is nothing!"

Naturally, a 4 Sword Princess wouldn't be cowed by mere deer antlers.

As her smoothly maneuvering sword redirects the antlers, their weight forces the head to turn as well.

The once arrogant Deer's brief life ends.

A magic missile strikes its chin like an uppercut, an arrow burrows into the inside of its foreleg, and simultaneously, a one-handed sword slashes through its neck.

What remains after the quick skirmish is a magic stone, once a deer.

"Thanks for the support. This spot seems good, should we camp here?"

"That sounds good."

Han Se-ah, having stowed the magic stone into her inventory, produces a tent from it at Kaiden's suggestion.

No matter how accustomed one might become to seeing a tent larger than a human materialize out of nowhere, it never ceases to be an intriguing sight.

Even the party members on camera appear surprised, their mouths slightly agape.

The sight of them clustering around Han Se-ah to receive tents and sleeping bags, like fledglings waiting for a meal, is quite entertaining.

-Ah, they call this the "Inventory".

-The inventory always seems like something out of a fantasy tale haha

-Did the magic stone drop? Did the magic stone drop? Did the magic stone drop?

-The NPCs always seem fascinated by the inventory.

-I'm also captivated by it, huhuh

Soon enough, the viewers are once again, fawning over the beautiful faces on screen.

Reading the chat, I take a gulp of my beer.

It washes away the oily aftertaste of the chicken in my mouth.

Hot chicken, cold beer, an online stream.

Armed with a fantasy trinity that lets me stay indoors for a week, I watch Han Se-ah's stream.

Since it's the 5th day now, I figure I'll allow her to roam for about 10 more days before returning.

Considering the travel time, I should leave around the 7th day, leaving me two more days.

In the meantime, I might as well browse for some movies.

'Do they not offer digital currency as quest completion rewards?'

When you sit, you want to lie down, that's human nature, and now that the internet window is open, I want to make a purchase.

There are two stupid King's Sword ads that crawl out for 15 seconds each whenever I try to watch something.

Additionally, the movies I want to watch, even an old one, costs a few thousand won.

"I'll turn off the stream for now since we're going to be homeless for a while. But by the time I turn the stream back on, Roland should be back, right?"

[Roland donated 10,000 won!]

Ugh, it's so bothersome, should I just live in the north?

"Then, Mage Hanna's party will leave for the north. Anyway, there won't be much content aside from cooking and keeping watch. I'll shut down the stream, take a break, and progress a little before coming back."

-Do a sleep stream with Grace and Irene

-Mmm let's exclude Han Se-ah?

-We don't need Han Se-ah in Han Se-ah's stream

As Han Se-ah waves goodbye to the camera, the world momentarily reverts to a dull ash gray.

Han Se-ah's stream displayed on the internet window has completely stopped, and the chat has quieted down.

It looks like she's paused for a break.

Sorry I've been busy preparing for a friend's wedding.. after party? I dunno what they're called. 2am crocheting flowers was fun.

3/5 Enjoy the chappy!
