Book 10: The Treasure House
“Is this the street of artisans? Something great.”
At the words of Assistant Manager Jinjoong, Oh Yong-pil, the 3rd team leader of Samhyeon Artifact, nodded.
There was nothing ordinary about the bustling streets. Hunters ranged from basic D-class to A-class, and even the things sold at the wagon stand were not simple.
Especially, the more I went inside, the more amazing it was. A store specializing in marine monster by-products and mid-range artifacts that are hard to find even in Seoul. In addition, even in the case of the Alchemy House, there were a lot of potions.
“Wow, are you killing me here? manager.”
“Is this your first time seeing it?”
“Yes, I have heard a lot. It has everything except what is missing, and it is a place that will unconditionally save even what is missing if you tell it.”
“That’s not wrong.”
Oh Yong-pil walked inside and looked at the [Indomitable Tower]. That is the tower that the [Knights of the Cold Cold] will attack this time.
After going through the 18th floor, which had been almost sealed for 7 years, I would go up to the 23rd floor at once, where there is a [Treasure] grade [Ancient Ruins].
“Wow, is this really a good place?”
Han Jin-jung. Assistant Manager Han said while looking at the general store of trust and geothermal forge at the very front of the street.
“It’s right in front of the border, so it looks like you were a pioneer here.”
“Then the place where we need to cooperate… … ?”
“These two places are included, but there is a place to say hello first.”
“Hello?”
“I have to go to the head of the artisan association here first.”
Oh Yong-pil headed to the [monster by-product distributor] with an assistant manager. ‘Kim Mi-yeon, head of the cooperative’ here, can be seen as the king of this street.
You should start by saying hello and asking for cooperation.
“do well. Don’t just look at the outside and act casually.”
“sure. I have jjamba too.”
“If you just have to do well, would I say this? do it right Because the president of this union is now friends with the president of the Korea Association.”
“… … yes?”
“Originally, it wasn’t our time to come. It’s a place where the height is right when the president comes, so what can I do? The president can’t move directly to attack one tower, so we’re going.”
“Gee, is it real? No, does that make sense?”
“At our time, everyone knows. Oh, and be sure to deliver it to your current emotions. Don’t be arrogant with the head of the union, Kim Mi-yeon, and go hook it. Even the boss can’t stop it.”
Oh Yong-pil shook his head and walked.
Assistant manager Han stood in place with a dazed look on his face, but soon came to his senses and followed the team leader.
Doesn’t fit at all.
A busy market, itself. No matter how many artisans there are, if such a person is a union here, isn’t it a group of market merchants?
“come fast. [Magical resonance diagnosis] Take good care of it.”
“yes! All right!”
Suddenly, the military spirit was raised.
It seemed like a more terrifying place than I thought.
* * *
Jihoo prepared thoroughly.
I couldn’t fix my talent yet, but I gathered all the money I could afford and did [emotion] and [production]. In addition, [View] and [Set Intervention] were also used.
There was no shortage of money.
When I first came here, I thought about paying off the loan and taking out an additional loan, but I didn’t have to because I had the money from the [Healing Wand] and Aunt Miyeon and Mr. Jiyeol helped me a lot.
[Healing Wand]
So I made another one of these.
There was nothing difficult. In terms of original cost, it cost about 1,500 won, but this time, I was a little overdone and poured 200 million won for materials alone.
Thanks to you, this stuff came out.
『Healing Wand [Rare – Healing] (Lv. 06)』
Description: The skeleton and heart of a twin-headed troll, synonymous with regeneration. In addition, intermediate mana stones were used, and the mysterious power replaced the power of ‘regeneration’ with ‘healing’.
* [Lesser Healing]
* [Lesser Decryption]
* [Low-mid-level magic recovery]
* [Amplification of low-to-medium mana efficiency]
Level 6 healing wand.
It was Jihoo’s second healing artifact.
I spent sparingly on material costs, but I couldn’t raise the lower level healing more. Still, I raised it from [lowest] to [lower] before, but this time it was [lower] from the beginning.
Also, [Lesser Decryption] was added.
This one uses the [Black Badger Gallbladder]. It was a by-product that showed unrivaled efficiency in detoxification, so even a small amount of SP could grant detoxification options.
Of course, this just doesn’t happen.
Only when the material itself was upgraded and the mana stone was medium, the magic volume that could heal and detoxify at the same time came out, and the help of setting intervention had to be added.
‘Literally, the limit I can make.’
It is level 6 in rarity.
But if you stay here for a few days.
‘You can raise your dexterity.’
[Skill] was more amazing than Jihoo expected.
I didn’t have enough SP to correct my talent right away, so I raised 3 stats because I wanted to know what difference dexterity stats make.
‘It was beyond my imagination.’
The perfection of the production has risen sharply, and the delicacy and speed have changed.
I heard that the higher the stat, the harder it is to raise it, and the gap in experience widens. He might have felt that difference because it was [Skill], one of the highest stats.
After feeling it, I keep itching. I wonder if the desire to revise my dexterity talent slowly blossomed.
“So, you want to settle down here?”
“Yes, is this a goblin raid area?”
“There will be. It’s a bit off the beaten path.”
“Can you stop that much?”
“Well, that’s right. Why are you here?”
There is a safe path in the lobby on the first floor.
But there were too many climbers there. People often passed by, and some people sat down and rested by making a bonfire.
“Only one day. I’ll give you a little bit of today’s trouble too.”
“… … What do you earn here?”
This is literally the lobby.
It’s such a wide area that it’s hard to hunt goblins. It’s not that hunting itself is difficult, it’s just that it’s hard to find.
chin-
Jihoo picked up something.
All broken crossbow traps.
It is to the point that no one can recover it. The bow is broken, the string is broken, and the bow is missing.
“Why?”
“wait for a sec.”
Jihoo looked at the information window.
『Old and Broken Crossbow Trap [Rare – Dark] (Lv. 03)』
Description: It was the main trap in the center of the lobby, but it was damaged and lost its function a long time ago. However, like the trap of the tower, the material itself seems to be [rock ore].
* [lower silence] (pause)
* [Minimum Auto Trigger] (suspended)
* [Minimum Autoload] (suspended)
* [Lower Sensing] (Stop)
Even if you take it and sell it as it is, you will receive hundreds of thousands of won. That’s the story when you melt the ingredients and sell them by weight.
But why didn’t anyone bring it and sell it yet?
‘Because I have to appraise ten to be able to find one.’
Emotions are not easy.
Even if it’s Jihoo, if there’s no [View], you’ll have to appraise it for more than an hour. Even an A-level appraiser with [Trait] should look into it for 10 minutes.
Could such an appraiser touch junk in a place like this? He would work comfortably while receiving a high salary by joining a large company or guild.
The broken [Crossbow Trap] right next to it was only level 2 on the [Normal] level. Even if you melt it down, it doesn’t cost money, and it costs only garbage disposal.
It’s a loss just looking at it.
It’s broken, rusty, the shape is hard to recognize, and the ore itself doesn’t look very good.
I knew it for a number of reasons.
The reason Jihoo was able to find this here is because of the [Read] that level has risen to 3.
‘If you just turn your eyes, you can see all 3 levels.’
Now, from level 1 to 2, there was no hit, as if it didn’t seem to consume much mental power. When I read the level 3, I felt a little ting-, but it was worth it.
And more importantly.
‘Originally, damage to an irreparable degree. But if it’s me, it’s possible.’
It’s a waste of SP.
However, ‘things you see for the first time’ are ‘setting interventions you do for the first time in a dungeon’. If so, the SP can be retrieved.
– 30 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
SP consumption is less than expected.
Then there is nothing to worry about. A crossbow trap of this size will definitely be of great help in the jungle on the second floor.
– Saved settings.
– The proficiency of [Setting Intervention] increases.
– I made an achievement.
– [View and set intervention in the tower! (Normal)]
– [Recovery in the midst of this danger? (Normal)]
– [Items in the abandoned tower have been restored. (General)]
– A total of 100 SP is paid.
“Good!”
It was as expected.
And the small crossbow trap in front of him changed like new.
No, it’s really new.
“What, what?”
Lee Hee-yeon, who was next to her, asked in surprise.
She saw Jihoo’s unique ability for the first time. I had heard that there was something, but I didn’t know that the damaged artifact would be repaired right away.
“This is part of my character.”
“crazy.”
“That’s why I came in. I needed to enter the tower in order to use it more efficiently and grow it.”
You don’t have to hide it from her.
I can’t fully disclose it, but I’ve already told you about emotions, recovery, and reinforcement.
rumble-
Jihoo gathered about 10 items he had picked up around him in one place.
Among them were three broken crossbow traps, a damaged lantern, a broken orb, a torn robe, and a leather pouch of unknown purpose.
“… … Could this be all?”
“Yeah, they’re all [Rare] grades.”
“Crazy bastard.”
It was a sincere insult.
“Let’s stay here for just one day.”
“Didn’t you say you would give me some?”
“10%.”
“Will you marry me?”
“Are you crazy?”
I decided to make a campsite to stay here for a day. There’s nothing wrong with preparing. As much as I decided to hold out for 3 days in the jungle, a sturdy tent and sleeping bag. And even the chair… … .
“What kind of camping are you here for?”
“… … ?”
“I’m entering the tower, but who brings these things?”
“Isn’t that what everyone does?”
“Of course not! Even if it’s full of potions and survival goods, it’s not enough, no, but how does it get out of that bag?”
Lee Hee-yeon opened her big eyes as if they were about to pop out.
“Because it’s a subspace pocket.”
“… … !”
“It’s low class, but.”
“Were you rich?”
It is worth thinking so.
[Minimum Space Distortion]
[lowest space amplification]
[Minimum Weight Reduction]
[Preservation of lowest level status]
There must be 4 options like this to be able to name it [Lowest Subspace Bag]. Of course, it’s not a real subspace, but everyone calls it that.
anyway.
A bag like that costs 300 million won.
“I bought it on credit from my aunt.”
“… … .”
“Thanks to you.”
“No, but the lower class?”
[Lower] is a grade that can be attached when all four options are low. Of course, all of these were uploaded as characteristics by Jihoo.
The price difference is at least 2.5 times.
“This is me.”
Jihoo shrugged and opened the chair. But as a bus driver, I have to serve you coffee.
“Crazy. Are you bringing coffee?”
“Is it still delicious?”
“… … It is.”
For the first time since entering the tower, she thought of the comfort of the tower.
That thought did not go far.
It’s because the entrance side has become bustling.
“what?”
Lee Hee-yeon fiddled with two daggers and stood up. No matter how lobbyy it is, crime is frequent in the tower.
“Looks like someone from a big company.”
Jihoo muttered as he looked toward the entrance.
“major company?”
“The Knights of the Cold, you said you were going to attack here. It looks like you came for a preliminary visit.”
“hmm. Yes, just like back then.”
[Tower of Indomitability] This is not the first time the story has been told. Even just five years ago, the Samhyeon Group had been wandering around the streets and towers saying they were targeting this place.
“It has nothing to do with us, right?”
“That’s right. As long as we don’t bump into each other on the second floor.”
“Second floor?”
“Yes, you have to go to the 2nd floor jungle in small numbers. Even if there are more than 3 people, aggro will be drawn properly.”
“… … .”
Jihoo suddenly had an ominous feeling, but he tried to ignore it. It’s the second floor that I’ve never been to before, but there’s no need to worry anymore.
No, rather than worrying, you should be prepared.
He went with her to collect useful artifacts in the lobby.
