"Oh my, Mr. Shin-Woo! Guten Tag!"

As soon as Lee Shin-Woo entered the secret shop, Pleine, who had been sitting at the counter with a wearisome expression, lit up and waved at him. She seemed quite happy to see him.

"It's been such a long time since you last visited. We may not have any bones left to sell, but you should come by from time to time to further our partnership..."

"I'd like to improve this item. I need any materials that increase its heat, durability, or level of compression. Even better if you have a bone that belonged to an individual who could control heat."

Lee Shin-Woo forewent the pleasantries and got straight to the point. Picking up on his urgency, Pleine adopted a serious expression as she surveyed the giant fossil that Lee Shin-Woo had placed on the ground...the Giant Solar Fossil.

"It's a sunlight stone, or it used to be. When it transformed, it began to radiate heat rather than light... Though I have no idea what you plan on using this for."

Taking into account Lee Shin-Woo's Bone Reinforcement, there were a couple items she had in mind. Pleine turned around, entered a storehouse-like place that wasn't visible to Lee Shin-Woo, and began to dig through her inventory while Lee Shin-Woo waited nervously.

"I found it. I thought I'd sold it!"

"What is it!?"

Coming here is the right decision!...
