Postingan yang Direkomendasikan, dasar brengsek, tadi kamu bilang apa?!
ㄴHeavenly Demon) Jadi seperti itukah dinosaurus? Nona ini baru pertama kali melihat makhluk seperti itu. Sampai punya kemampuan siluman juga; makhluk yang menarik sekali.
ㄴSword Matstar) Kami juga cuma pernah lihat di buku bergambar, jadi ini pertama kalinya lihat aslinya juga ; Tapi serius, kenapa ada dinosaurus beneran?
ㄴ??????
ㄴApa-apaan ini wkwkwkwk
ㄴKenapa ada dinosaurus? wkwkwkwk
ㄴBukankah dinosaurus bajingan ini makhluk dari sebelum Era Mitos?
ㄴBenar sih, tapi bukannya mereka seharusnya berevolusi menjadi Drake atau Wyvern?
ㄴApa dinosaurus punya kemampuan siluman?
ㄴYa enggak lah, masa? Nggak ada catatan soal itu di mana pun.
ㄴBukankah memang tidak ada juga catatan yang bilang mereka TIDAK punya kemampuan siluman?
ㄴHah? Apa gitu ya?
ㄴDinosaurus punya kemampuan siluman. Dicatat, dicatat....
ㄴTunggu, akal sehatku hancur berantakan, ini beneran beneran?
ㄴApa yang kau harapkan dari Forest of the Four Seasons? Terima saja dan lanjutkan.
ㄴAllfather) Oh, oh...! Materi penelitian baru! Materi penelitian baru...!
ㄴOrang tua ini mulai mengamuk lagi.
ㄴBahkan kalau bukan dia, ilmuwan mana pun pasti akan tergila-gila melihat ini.
ㄴIni betulan ’dinosaurus’, siapa yang nggak bakal kegirangan? Aku pun sekarang lagi heboh wkwk
ㄴSekali saja... biarkan aku menyentuhnya sekali saja...!
ㄴLu bakal potong-potong sekarang, kan?
ㄴWild Grylls) Iya, ini pertama kalinya aku memotong dinosaurus jadi agak bingung, tapi tetap harus kulakukan.
ㄴBisa nggak lu jual bagian jantung atau organ dalam lewat lelang?
ㄴWild Grylls) Nanti aku lihat-lihat dulu wkwk
ㄴAh, hyung-nim. Kumohon.
ㄴKalau dipajang di lelang, harganya bakal gila-gilaan wkwk
ㄴAh wkwk mana ada orang yang tahan sama jantung dinosaurus wkwk
ㄴWild Grylls) Lagipula masih ada sekitar 5 ekor, jadi aku punya lebih dari cukup buat dibagi.
ㄴPraise the Sun) Kabari aku kalau nanti nemu telur dinosaurus.
ㄴWild Grylls) Buat apa telur dinosaurus? Buat dimakan?
ㄴPraise the Sun) Bukan. Buat dipelihara.
ㄴWild Grylls) ;;;
ㄴPraise the Sun) Sejujurnya, kayaknya worth it buat dipelihara.
ㄴWild Grylls) Bukannya lu bakal digigit mati duluan?
ㄴPraise the Sun) Lu aja berhasil pelihara naga.
ㄴWild Grylls) Kalau gitu sih, aku nggak bisa ngomong apa-apa.
ㄴStarlight Lady) Kalau melihat dari penampilannya, ini dekat dengan Velociraptor... tapi aku bingung karena ada kemampuan silumannya. Bisakah kamu menyediakan beberapa untuk bahan penelitianku juga?
ㄴLihat tuh, diam-diam dia jadi serakah.
ㄴDasar, ya? Deket sama Grylls, ya? Benar-benar nggak nyisain kesempatan buat kami.
ㄴBisa nggak kita banned pelakunya karena pilih kasih?
ㄴStarlight Lady) Kalau kalian iri, kirim elixir secara rutin seperti aku dong ^^
ㄴOK poin yang adil
ㄴLangsung diakui wkwk
ㄴAku ingat bulan lalu kau masih sakit-sakitan dan merintih, gimana bisa jadi begini?
ㄴStarlight Lady) Ini semua berkat kalian ^^
ㄴKau sudah berevolusi menjadi sampah galeri yang megah.
ㄴStarlight Lady) Diam
ㄴPassing Dwarf) Kalau daging dinosaurus enak, bagi aku sedikit. Biar kulihat cocok nggak buat temen minum.
ㄴDasar bajingan, dinosaurus pun dijadikan teman minum ;;
ㄴKonsisten banget sampai aku cuma bisa nerima dan lanjut wkwk
ㄴPassing Dwarf) Atau bisa kupahami juga kalau mau menguliti dan kasih aku kulitnya? Aku penasaran apakah kulitnya mempertahankan kemampuan siluman itu.
ㄴWild Grylls) Biar aku potong-potong dulu, ya
ㄴTentu saja.
ㄴKemampuan siluman memang nggak mungkin ditolak, pasti.
Postingan di galeri menuai respons yang meledak-ledak, sesuai perkiraan.
Melihat upvote yang naik eksponensial, sudah pasti banyak orang yang akan melihatnya.
[DontAbandontheHero: Jangan posting foto organ dalam!]
Orange Badge pasti melihatnya, dia mengirimiku pesan peringatan.
Katanya video rahang yang terkulai itu menjijikkan, tapi dia akan memakluminya sekali ini saja.
Aku menutup galeri dan memeriksa situasi saat ini. Pembersihan sudah selesai seluruhnya.
Dinosaurus—atau lebih tepatnya, makhluk yang diduga sebagai raptor menurut Starlight Lady.
’Pertama, berikan dua ekor masing-masing kepada Allfather dan Starlight Lady.’
Itu menyisakan total tiga spesimen. Cara menanganinya inilah kuncinya.
Aku akan menyimpannya di freezer untuk saat ini, tapi aku berencana memotong satu sendiri.
Untuk itu, aku harus menghentikan darah yang mengucur dari lehernya yang terputus.
Menggunakan embun beku, aku menghentikan pendarahannya secara kasar dan memasukkannya ke dalam Subspace Backpack-ku.
Aku tidak bisa memotong-motong hewan ini di tempat bibit World Tree ditanam, jadi pada akhirnya, kami tidak punya pilihan selain kembali.
’Selain dinosaurus jenis ini, pasti ada yang lain, kan?’
Seperti Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, dan seterusnya.
Bahkan ada kemungkinan besar Tyrannosaurus itu ada.
Kemampuan khusus macam apa yang akan dimiliki makhluk-makhluk itu?
Raptor memiliki kemampuan siluman yang sesuai dengan menjadi ’Hunter’.
Aku jadi sedikit penasaran bagaimana makhluk dengan kelas berat alami yang besar akan menjadi seperti apa.
Tentu saja, karena aku menghargai nyawaku, aku tidak punya sedikit pun niat untuk mencarinya sendiri.
[Namun, itu agak aneh.]
"Apa yang aneh?"
Di tengah perjalanan pulang, Cain mengungkapkan kebingungannya.
Saat kita menghadapi dinosaurus itu, situasinya sangat mendesak sehingga dia tidak mengatakan apa pun, tapi sekarang sepertinya dia sudah membereskan pikirannya.
[Sejak zaman dahulu, keturunan dinosaurus diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga jenis utama: Drake, Wyvern, dan Basilisk. Meski akan lebih luas lagi jika diperluas ke lautan.]
"Benar?"
[Dengan asumsi makhluk-makhluk itu berevolusi, seharusnya normal bagi mereka untuk menjadi Drake atau Wyvern. Tapi alih-alih berevolusi, mereka malah mendapatkan kemampuan siluman? Rasanya agak aneh.]
"Hmm..."
Itu masuk akal sekali. Para pengguna galeri tidak membuat keributan tanpa alasan.
Itu adalah jalur evolusi yang sepenuhnya bertentangan dengan teori akademis yang sudah mapan.
Bahkan Lackey dan gorila-gorila lainnya telah berevolusi mendekati ’manusia.’
"Sekarang ini, kita punya kungkang yang super cepat, dan kanguru yang membuka arena pertarungan. Jadi, itu tidak terlalu aneh, kan?"
[Mmm... Benarkah? Kalau dipikir-pikir begitu, memang tidak terlalu aneh, tapi....]
"Lebih baik anggap tempat ini sebagai pengecualian. Bahkan aku pun awalnya tidak bisa menggunakan mana. Aku baru bisa menggunakannya setelah tiba di sini."
[Kamu tidak bisa menggunakan mana?]
Ah. Kalau dipikir-pikir, Cain tidak tahu.
Saat berjalan kembali, aku memberinya penjelasan singkat tentang diriku.
Bahwa sebenarnya, aku datang dari dunia lain dan memiliki tubuh yang tidak mampu menggunakan mana.
Tetapi entah hutan ini memberikan pengaruh semacam itu atau tidak, pada suatu titik aku menjadi mampu menggunakan mana.
[Sekarang aku mengerti.]
"Apa?"
[Bahwa hal teraneh di sini adalah dirimu.]
"..."
[Spesies invasif ada tepat di sini.]
Tawa kering keluar dari mulutku mendengar frase ’spesies invasif.’ Adakah istilah yang lebih tepat untuk menggambarkanku?
Masih melegakan bahwa aku tidak sampai menghancurkan ekosistem.
Biasanya, spesies invasif cenderung menyebabkan kekacauan di ekosistem.
’Tunggu, tidak. Apa aku sudah menyebabkan kekacauan?’
Melalui galeri, dunia ini menjadi kacau. Kalau hanya melihat dari itu, aku benar-benar spesies invasif.
Sementara aku tenggelam dalam pikiranku sesaat, Cain mengajukan pertanyaan kepada Ludwig.
Mendengarkan dengan saksama, itu adalah pertanyaan apakah Ludwig tahu ceritaku.
"#%^%^."
"Apa katanya?"
[Dia bilang dia tahu kamu adalah pria paling aneh di sekitar sini, tapi dia tidak menyangka kamu akan menjadi makhluk yang benar-benar aneh.]
"Itu bisa kuanggap sebagai pujian, kan? Lagipula, Kirin yang di sana itu juga hewan dari dunia tempatku tinggal."
Masalah spesies invasif segera berlalu.
Spesies invasif atau apa pun itu, yang terpenting adalah bertahan hidup di hutan ini.
Setelah kembali ke tempat perlindungan seperti itu, aku mulai mengerjakan pemotongan.
Hal pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah memisahkan kulitnya.
’Aku akan memberikan kulitnya kepada Passing Dwarf.’
Lebih baik memverifikasi apakah kulit itu mempertahankan kemampuan siluman atau apakah itu berada di tempat lain.
Pemotongan dilakukan oleh Ludwig dan aku. Mungkin karena dia adalah prajurit yang terbiasa dengan kerja lapangan, keterampilan memotongnya sangat ahli.
Karena pekerjaan yang detail sulit dilakukan oleh Lackey, aku tidak menyuruhnya menguliti.
’Meski begitu, dengan struktur kepala seperti ini, mengulitinya memang sulit.’
Meski sulit, entah bagaimana kami berhasil memisahkan kulit utuh dari dua dinosaurus.
Aku berencana untuk mendaftarkan satu spesimen utuh di ruang lelang.
’Pertama, mari tiriskan darahnya.’
Untuk organ dalam, bisa dibuang atau dilelang.
Bahkan satu tulang pun akan berharga astronomis, apalagi organ dalam.
Sambil menguras darah, aku membuang dua spesimen yang tersisa terlebih dahulu.
[Wild Grylls: Allfather-nim. Haruskah kuberikan bangkai dinosaurus utuh? Tidak perlu kupotong sendiri, kan?]
[Allfather: Yaituakanbaiksekali.]
[Allfather: Ya. Kalau bisa seperti itu, aku akan menerimanya dengan penuh syukur.]
Bahkan Allfather yang biasanya kalem pun sangat bersemangat sampai membuat typo parah.
Aku meninggalkan catatan menjelaskan bahwa ada cat yang terciprat karena aku harus melawan kemampuan silumannya.
Tentu saja, Allfather tidak keberatan sama sekali. Dia hanya mengungkapkan rasa terima kasihnya karena bisa menerimanya.
[Starlight Lady: Terima kasih banyak. Berkat Grylls-nim, aku bisa mendapatkan pengalaman langka ini.]
[Wild Grylls: Akulah yang berterima kasih. Ngomong-ngomong, apa kau bisa meracik sesuatu seperti elixir dari darah dinosaurus?]
[Starlight Lady: Ini juga pertama kalinya aku menangani dinosaurus, jadi aku tidak yakin. Untuk saat ini, aku akan mengirimkan elixir yang sudah aku buat sebelumnya.]
Setelah menerima elixir dari Starlight Lady

Recommended Post, you son of a bitch, what did you say again?
ㄴHeavenly Demon) Is that what a dinosaur is? This mistress is seeing such a creature for the first time. To think it has stealth abilities as well; what a fascinating creature.
ㄴSword Matstar) We’ve only seen them in illustrated books, so this is our first time seeing one in real life too ; But seriously, why are there actual dinosaurs?
ㄴ??????
ㄴWhat the hell lololol
ㄴWhy are there dinosaurs? lololol
ㄴAren’t these dinosaur bastards creatures from before the Mythic Era?
ㄴThat’s true, but shouldn’t they have evolved into Drakes or Wyverns?
ㄴDid dinosaurs have stealth abilities?
ㄴFuck no, would they? There’s no mention of that anywhere.
ㄴIsn’t it also true that nowhere does it say they DON’T have stealth capabilities?
ㄴHuh? Is that so?
ㄴDinosaurs have stealth capabilities. Noted, noted....
ㄴNo wait; my common sense is crumbling, is this really right?
ㄴWhat do you expect from the Forest of the Four Seasons? Just accept it and move on.
ㄴAllfather) Oh, oh...! New research material! New research material...!
ㄴThis old man is going wild again.
ㄴEven if it weren’t him, any scholar would go crazy over this.
ㄴIt’s the actual ’dinosaur’, who wouldn’t be excited? Even I am right now lol
ㄴJust once... let me touch it just once...!
ㄴYou’re going to butcher it now, right?
ㄴWild Grylls) Yep, it’s my first time butchering a dinosaur so I’m flustered, but I gotta do it.
ㄴCould you put things like the heart or internal organs up for auction?
ㄴWild Grylls) I’ll see lol
ㄴAh, hyung-nim. Please.
ㄴIf you list them on the auction, the price is gonna go insane lol
ㄴAh lol how can anyone resist a dinosaur heart lol
ㄴWild Grylls) There are about 5 of them anyway, so I have enough to spare.
ㄴPraise the Sun) Let me know if you find dinosaur eggs later.
ㄴWild Grylls) Why dinosaur eggs? To eat them?
ㄴPraise the Sun) No. To raise it.
ㄴWild Grylls) ;;;
ㄴPraise the Sun) Honestly, I think it’s worth raising.
ㄴWild Grylls) Wouldn’t you get bitten to death before that?
ㄴPraise the Sun) You’re raising a dragon just fine.
ㄴWild Grylls) Put that way, I’ve got nothing to say.
ㄴStarlight Lady) Looking at its appearance, it’s close to a Velociraptor... but I’m confused because of the stealth capability. Could you provide some for me as research material as well?
ㄴLook at her slyly getting greedy.
ㄴJust because they’re, huh? Close with Grylls, huh? They leave no chances for us.
ㄴCan’t we ban this for favoritism?
ㄴStarlight Lady) If you’re bitter, supply Elixirs regularly like I do ^^
ㄴOK fair point
ㄴInstantly acknowledged lol
ㄴI recall you were sickly and groaning just a month ago, how did you turn into this?
ㄴStarlight Lady) It’s all thanks to you guys ^^
ㄴYou’ve evolved into a splendid Gallery trash.
ㄴStarlight Lady) Shut up
ㄴPassing Dwarf) If dinosaur meat tastes good, give me some too. Let me see if it’s suitable as a side dish for booze.
ㄴThis bastard turns even dinosaurs into booze snacks;;
ㄴHe’s so consistent that I’ll just accept it and move on now lol
ㄴPassing Dwarf) Or can you skin it and give me the hide? I’m curious if the skin retains the stealth capability.
ㄴWild Grylls) Let me butcher them first, yeah
ㄴOf course.
ㄴStealth capability is impossible to resist, for sure.
Posting on the Gallery brought an explosive response, just as expected.
Seeing the upvotes rise exponentially, countlessly many people were bound to see it.
[Don’t Abandon the Hero: Don’t post pictures of internal organs!]
The Orange Badge must have noticed, sending me a warning message.
She said the video of the dangling jaw was gross, but she’d let it slide just this once.
I closed the Gallery and checked the current situation. The cleanup was entirely finished now.
Dinosaurs—or rather, creatures speculated to be raptors according to Starlight Lady.
’First, let’s give two of them to Allfather and Starlight Lady respectively.’
That left three specimens in total. How to handle these was the key.
I’d store them in the freezer for now, but I planned to butcher one myself.
To do that, I needed to stop the blood pouring out of its severed neck.
Using frost, I roughly stopped the bleeding and placed it into my Subspace Backpack.
I couldn’t butcher these where the World Tree sapling was planted, so in the end, we had no choice but to head back.
’Besides this kind of dinosaur, there must be others, right?’
Like Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and so on.
There was even a high possibility that Tyrannosaurus existed.
What kind of special abilities would those guys possess?
Raptors possessed stealth capabilities to suit being a ’Hunter’.
I became slightly curious about how creatures with naturally massive weight classes would be.
Of course, since I valued my life, I had not the slightest intention of seeking them out myself.
[Still, it is a bit strange.]
"What is?"
On the way back, Cain expressed his confusion.
When we encountered the dinosaurs, it was so urgent he hadn’t said anything, but now he seemed to have organized his thoughts.
[Since ancient times, descendants of dinosaurs have been classified into three main types: Drakes, Wyverns, and Basilisks. Though it would expand further if expanded to the sea.]
"Right?"
[Assuming those things evolved, it would be normal for them to become Drakes or Wyverns. But instead of evolving, they gained stealth abilities? It feels somewhat strange.]
"Hmm..."
It made a lot of sense. The Gallery users hadn’t made a fuss for nothing.
It was an evolutionary path that completely contradicted the established academic theories.
Even Lackey and the other gorillas had evolved closer to ’humans.’
"Right now, we have a insanely fast sloth, and kangaroos that opened a fighting arena. So it’s not that strange, right?"
[Mmm... Is that so? Thinking of it that way, it isn’t so strange, but....]
"It’s better to treat this place as an exception. Even I couldn’t use mana originally. I only started being able to use it after coming here."
[You couldn’t use mana?]
Ah. Come to think of it, Cain didn’t know.
As we walked back, I briefly gave him an explanation about myself.
That in truth, I came from another world and had a body incapable of using mana.
But whether this forest exerted some kind of influence or not, at some point I became capable of mana usage.
[Now I understand.]
"What?"
[That the strangest thing here is you.]
"..."
[An invasive species was right here.]
A dry laugh escaped me at the phrase ’invasive species.’ Was there any better term to describe me?
Still, it was a relief that I wasn’t to the extent of destroying the ecosystem.
Usually, invasive species tended to cause chaos in the ecosystem.
’Wait, no. Am I already causing chaos?’
Through the Gallery, the world was becoming chaotic. Looking only at that, I truly was an invasive species.
While I briefly lost myself in thought, Cain asked Ludwig a question.
Listening closely, it was a question asking if Ludwig knew my story.
"#%^%^."
"What did he say?"
[He said he knew you were the strangest guy around, but he didn’t expect you to be a truly bizarre fellow.]
"I can take that as a compliment, right? For your information, that Kirin over there was also an animal from the world I lived in."
The invasive species issue quickly passed.
Invasive species or whatever, surviving in this forest was what mattered most.
After returning to the Shelter like that, I set about the butchering work.
The first thing to do was to separate the hides.
’I’ll give the hides to Passing Dwarf.’
It was better to verify whether the hide retained the stealth ability or if it resided elsewhere.
The butchering was conducted by Ludwig and me. Perhaps because he was a soldier accustomed to field work, his butchering was skilled.
Since delicate work was difficult for Lackey, I didn’t make him skin the hides.
’Still, with the head structure shaped like this, skinning it is tough.’
Though difficult, somehow we managed to separate the complete hides of two dinosaurs.
I planned to list one whole specimen on the auction hall.
’First, let’s drain the blood.’
For the internal organs, it was either throw them away or put them on the auction.
Even a single bone would command an astronomical price, so imagine the internal organs.
While draining the blood, I disposed of the remaining two specimens first.
[Wild Grylls: Allfather-nim. Should I give you the dinosaur carcass whole? No need for me to butcher it separately, right?]
[Allfather: Yesthatwoudbegreat.]
[Allfather: Yes. If you would do so, I will gratefully accept it.]
Even Allfather, who was usually refined, was so excited that he made severe typos.
I left him a note explaining that paint was splattered on it because I had to counter its stealth ability.
Naturally, Allfather didn’t mind at all. He simply expressed his gratitude for being able to receive it.
[Starlight Lady: Thank you so much. Thanks to Grylls-nim, I get to have such a rare experience.]
[Wild Grylls: I’m the one who’s thankful. By any chance, can’t you craft something like an Elixir from dinosaur blood?]
[Starlight Lady: It’s my first time handling a dinosaur as well, so I’m not sure. For now, I’ll send you the Elixirs I crafted earlier.]
After receiving the Elixir from Starlight Lady, I registered the last remaining dinosaur on the auction hall.
I didn’t forget to post a note when listing it, telling them to enjoy it well.
I had no idea how high the price would climb, but I guessed it would be staggering.
’Ideally, I’d want to auction off each cut separately, but....’
I didn’t have that kind of time. Plus, handling internal organs directly was gross.
The remaining two were plenty in quantity anyway. Their size alone made them quite large specimens.
I slowly butchered the dinosaur carcass hanging upside down.
Ludwig also began butchering the other dinosaur.
It seemed we wouldn’t have to worry about food for the time being, but....
[Do you know which part to eat?]
"Who knows?"
Tigers and wild boars were one thing, but butchering a dinosaur was a first.
While some people occasionally eat tiger meat when hunted, that wasn’t the case for dinosaurs.
Wouldn’t I practically be the world’s first person to butcher a dinosaur?
I didn’t know which cut was delicious, but for now I butchered as much as possible.
’Since these guys have sturdy hind legs, maybe there’s plenty of hindquarter meat?’
It might not be tender meat but pure muscle. In that case, it would be quite tough.
"$%%^^^."
"You’re saying you never expected to butcher a dinosaur in your lifetime? Me neither."
Ludwig mumbled beside me. I felt the same way.
Anyway, after doing my best, we managed to butcher both dinosaurs.
Surprisingly, the hindquarter meat yielded the most.
Apparently, their hips had developed to support their long tail.
What shocked me most was the neck meat. It was absurdly tough.
I knew it the moment I saw their thick necks, but even if someone gave this to me, I couldn’t eat it.
"Alright. Now that we’ve separated it..."
I picked up the piece that looked relatively tender among the butchered meat.
If it were pork, it would be around the loin section. I planned to taste this piece.
"Kkyuuuu..."
"Piiiiii..."
Was it because they saw the nicely butchered meat? Wonmo and Tyranno’s eyes sparkled.
Eyes that said they’d devour all this meat the second my permission was granted.
But not yet. I told them to wait.
"No way. I have to check what it tastes like first."
[What if it tastes bad?]
"Then I’ll have to make it taste good."
Excluding the neck meat, which was so tough my dagger could barely cut it, I intended to eat the rest.
With food being consumed in massive quantities every single day, throwing anything out was a luxury.
