Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 91

Kim Seok-hoon continued speaking.

“Well... to be honest, I didn’t expect the first test to be finished today or tomorrow, so I scheduled things for the day after tomorrow.”

“What?”

“Haha... I’m really sorry... Usually, the first test takes at least two days, so I set the schedule like it’s always been done...”

Kim Seok-hoon scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

But he wasn’t lying.

Up until now, tasks like retrieving logistics or sorting them always took at least a day each. But Su-ho had shattered that tradition by completing both tests in a single day.

Su-ho asked, “So, what am I supposed to do now?”

“Well... it seems like we won’t be ready until at least tomorrow afternoon because of the schedule.”

“I understand. Then I’ll wait. In the meantime, I’ll study the theory for the next training department.”

“Oh, you’d do that?”

“Yes, I’ve had a similar experience before, so I studied in the underground library.”

“Phew, that’s a relief. Thank you for your understanding. I’ll contact you as soon as we’re ready. But no matter how fast we prepare, it won’t be before tomorrow afternoon, so feel free to come after lunch.”

“Then, what about today?”

“There’s nothing else to do, so you can head out early.”

“Thank you.”

Grateful for Kim Seok-hoon’s consideration, Su-ho smiled lightly and began preparing to leave.

‘This works out perfectly.’

He had things to take care of after work anyway, and now he not only got to leave early but didn’t have to come back until tomorrow afternoon.

Starting his car, Su-ho dialed a number, the sound of the engine rumbling to life as he made the call.

Not Stuck in Traffic, Su-ho Quickly Arrived Home

What he had ordered was none other than poisons.

[Inferior Miscellaneous Poison]

  • A nameless, origin-unknown poison.

  • Its toxic effects are minimal.

    But it wasn’t just the inferior poisons. As the bottles were arranged from left to right, the poison grades increased step by step. All of this was for the upcoming quest Su-ho had to face.

    He opened his quest window and reviewed the "Trial of the Snake" quest he had previously unlocked.

    [Trial of the Snake]

  • A test granted only to those chosen by the venom-eating snake.

  • Within your body lies a dormant egg of the venom-eating snake. To hatch the egg, you must directly ingest poisons and provide the venom as sustenance for the egg.

  • If venom supply is delayed by more than 10 minutes, you must restart the process from the beginning. Failing to provide venom three times will result in the quest's failure, and the venom-eating snake’s egg will immediately disappear.
