Chapter 210
The Goblin’s Forest was an F-rank Fissure in Myeongil-dong, Gangdong-gu. Deep within the Fissure, beyond the dense trees, lay a small farm growing a variety of vegetables—cucumbers, pumpkins, tomatoes, and even the Spirit Mushrooms that Do-Jun had provided.
Kiriel imbued magical energy into the Rain Stone. The stone then emitted a soft white glow and sprayed streams of water as it moved across the field, effectively replacing a standard farming sprinkler system.
This was Kiriel’s routine whenever there were no customers at Hakase’s food stall—he would visit the field to water the crops in his stead.
According to Hakase, the Rain Stone was originally a relic of the spirits. How Byeol came to possess such an item remained a mystery, but what mattered was that the stone was now in their hands, contributing significantly to their livelihood. It seemed like a fortunate turn of events.
Of course, if the Spirit Queen ever found out they were using it, things would take a disastrous turn.
“You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t get caught,” Kiriel recalled a pearl of wisdom shared by the Overlord himself.

Inside the Fissure Management Division office, the sound of keyboards typing and mice clicking filled the air. It was just after lunch, and the office was quiet as many succumbed to afternoon drowsiness.
The automatic doors opened, and a woman entered.
Cheol-Soo emerged from the break room carrying a cup of coffee. Spotting her striking appearance, he paused awkwardly and asked, “Uh... may I help you?”
The woman barely glanced at him and stepped aside, heading directly toward Do-Jun, who was closing his laptop and grabbing his blazer. Spotting her, Do-Jun gave her a slight wave and smiled faintly.
“See you tomorrow, Chief,” he said to Cheol-Soo as he passed.
