Part 108 Everyday Life
Aunt Miyeon stopped by the general store.
“I think the underground dungeon will be completed soon~ The dungeon hasn’t stabilized yet~ You and Heeyeon will have priority in clearing the dungeon~ Come visit~?”
“Oh yeah? It’s good. I should go and get the spiny slime by-products.”
Very good news.
If it was Jihoo in the past, he wouldn’t even try because it was dangerous. But now it’s different. It is possible to attack it with only [Desolate Umbral].
It is enough to catch five fish without being greedy. There won’t be a shortage of by-products for stealth or fluid-based options for a few months.
“Then, who is that person? Kiskov.”
“Actually, I came here to say that~ Kiscorp seems to be cutting their tails, and it seems that they are planning to end it with compensation from a small American company that is unofficially sponsored by Kiscorp~”
Jihoo doesn’t know about this.
If Aunt Miyeon said so, that’s it.
“Good things. If you touch a street artisan, you should think about getting hurt too~ They say they will give you about 1 billion, what should I do? Will you take it?”
“I don’t really care. Aunt Miyeon, do whatever you want.”
To be honest, Ji-hoo didn’t suffer anything, so he has no idea. I won’t be affected by mental traits in the future, so I’m not worried.
And there is a reason why Aunt Miyeon says this. If it was good to receive compensation, he would have told me to do so unconditionally.
“Hmm, then it’s a hundred times more effective than grabbing a broken tail~ following them to the end and giving them a scar on their torso~ I’ve been looking at them lately, and there’s not just one or two strange things~ Anyway, it’s that they’re sloppy.”
Jihoo just nodded.
Aunt Miyeon said with a grin.
“I’ll take care of it, will you let me know if something like this happens in the future?”
“All right.”
“And I’m investigating the monster corpses, but they’re definitely not the ones that have come out so far~ I’ve brought things organized by by-products, so take what’s useful~ If you bring me the rest, I’ll sell them, okay?”
“Yes, thank you as always.”
Aunt Miyeon put down a sack and left the general store.
Looking at Aunt Miyeon, Jihoo always thinks that she is amazing. As a pioneer artisan, it is also true that he created such a bustling and safe [Artisan’s Street], but it seems that the network and influence he has built up over a long period of time extends not only to Korea but also to the whole world.
Just by sitting on this street and contacting them, these things are progressing steadily. He’s definitely a great person.
Again.
Jihoo made coffee.
this is addictive
Wake up early in the morning and drink coffee on an empty stomach. And at around 1:00 after lunch, coffee is the only way to overcome hunger.
The fragrance is fragrant, but the vitality is also good.
Of course, it is said that there are many bad things, but it is not a peaceful era to think about health later.
with my daughter-
A guest has arrived.
These days, there are a lot of people on [Artisan’s Street]. Despite the [crack], it was rumored that it was safer than most of Seoul thanks to the quick response.
Well, Seoul has to protect the entire region, and this street was literally just one street. There are countless artisans and hunters swarming in that small space, so it may seem relatively safer.
The customer just bought a level 2 Magical Amplification Pallet. Newbies often find it because it is cheaper than other places.
‘It’s a by-product of the monster.’
I was curious.
What kind of guys are they so tough? It was a monster with a level of about level 7. That’s enough to mean that he’s a predator on the 6th floor.
Jihoo opened the sack and [viewed] it.
-[Bukkake Skull (Rare)]
-[Bukkake Horn (Rare)]
-[Bukkake Breastplate (Rare)]
-[Bukkake Thighs (Rare)]
-[Left Blade of Bukkake (Rare)]
There were five in total.
I caught a total of two fish, one from the last crack and this crack, but five people joined forces for one, and the second one was made into porridge, so there weren’t too many by-products.
Jihoo raised his horn.
It was 35 cm long and slightly thick, so the bottom was difficult to hold in one hand. The tip can be described as blunt, but if strong force is applied, it can become a weapon.
The black and smooth surface definitely seemed to show its strength and hardness, and it had ten times more magic power than other by-products.
『Bukkake Horn [Magi] [Rare] [Lv. 06]』
: The horn of the monster Bukkake. The monster’s horn is the source of all the monster’s power and the storehouse of magical power. It’s soft compared to other places, but it’s not weak either. However, it is not suitable for direct use as a weapon.
However, it is extremely difficult to use because the demonic energy of the monster cannot be easily purified. It requires processing by a skilled magician or craftsman.
* [Intermediate Demonic Amplification]
* [Production of Lesser Magi]
“Not bad.”
It is an intermediate or higher by-product.
The problem is that the base energy is [magic]. There is a clear difference between magic power and demonic energy, but if you look at it as a difference in attributes, it’s not wrong.
If the negative magic power coming out of the artifact is transparent black, then Magi is black.
much thicker and stronger
If it comes into contact with a normal human, it becomes [Magicalization], cells die, and mana becomes contaminated, causing it to lose its human form.
In the end, it will lead to death.
It’s like radiation.
“Magi, Magira.”
Research on demons and demons is being actively conducted all over the world. Some companies have succeeded in purifying demonic energy, but considering the amount of manpower and money required, commercialization is impossible.
Even the geothermal man can purify demons with effort. However, considering the materials required to use a level 6 horn, it was not a business that was left behind.
The important thing here is the option [Production of lower level demons]. [Production], not [Accumulation] elsewhere. There are definitely advantages.
Then, something flashed.
‘Altarca’s sealing technique.’
A small labyrinth discovered in Seoul. The negative magic power was completely blocked. At that time, Jihoo obtained something called [Interpretation], and was able to fully understand a sealing technique.
‘Does it really need to be purified?’
Think of this as a single nuclear reactor.
What if you could generate electricity with the energy inside and use only that electricity? Even if the difficulty is high, what if you can pull it out right away with kinetic energy?
‘I think something will come out if I process it well.’
Considering the stability, it was necessary to think a little more about the complete purification.
“The rest doesn’t have to go that far.”
Since horns are the source of demonic energy, it is necessary to purify demonic energy. However, other parts only need to be ‘removed’, not ‘cleansed’.
Because how much energy can be contained and how strong and flexible it can be is more important than the energy contained right now.
It’s even better if it has clear features.
‘The breastplate is perfect for armor or a shield. Even if you remove the magic, it’s a very high level at level 5.’
In the case of thighs, they also make knee protectors that extend from the thigh to the calf.
The elastic muscles and strong ligaments unique to monsters. The hardness of bones and skin. In addition, the deep conductivity of magic is high in value no matter what artifact you create.
In particular, in the case of knee guards, good artifacts that increase the user’s strength, stamina, and agility are sometimes produced.
“… … I think I need something like this too.”
I haven’t felt the need yet.
However, depending on how this crack is formed in the future, it may be necessary. It was thought that the defensive power was sufficient, but the physical ability was lacking.
If you can improve your stats along with additional defense, it might not be a bad choice.
Salang-
Jihoo had a leisurely afternoon after a long time. It’s usually full of people, but today it’s quiet. Sometimes they come suddenly, but it’s good to enjoy this moment.
Jihoo took a coffee and went to the window.
Expanding the inner space changed the view from the counter. So it was more elegant to come to the front of the display stand and look out the window.
‘Today too, there are many people.’
Climbing, descending.
Some people get hurt, some people laugh.
Seven years ago, this kind of peace began, and after three years, Jihoo left this city. And came back after 4 years.
The divorce was already 3 years ago.
“I’ve been thinking about it again.”
Charang-
Jihoo opened the subspace.
Next to the workbench, there are many firearms entrusted to be strengthened and remodeled by Musketeer members, but it is only necessary to set the reservation period wide and only have to do five in a day.
I finished hitting this morning.
‘I have to upgrade the shade.’
The reason I’ve put it like this so far is that it’s too low compared to the three artifacts [Thunder], [Desolate Darkness], and [Magic Iron Staff].
It’s better to make a new one than to upgrade it. However, since I made it a growth type so that you can raise your skill level, if you upgrade well, you may be able to remain a good work.
Even Jihoo didn’t know it, but he seems to have developed an attachment to it. It was very sad to think that Umyeong would be forgotten like this.
‘Let’s try using the byproducts of monsters.’
Coincidence also fits well.
It is optimized for stealthy attacks because it even has ancient thorn slime attached to it. The bolt itself was much quieter than the bullet, though.
‘There is a limit though.’
bow and sword.
The simpler the structure and the simpler the material, the greater the impact the user can have. That’s why most hunters with a high military level use simple weapons.
The same is true in an environment where covert combat is required. In this case, the ability of the user is more important than the characteristics of the weapon, such as a bow or a sword.
Certainly [Umbral Shadow] has less merit.
‘What if I put a curse on the darkness?’
It reminded me of the way Jihoo hunted trolls in the [Lord of Death]’s raid the other day. It was a setting joke, different from the curse of the artifact, but it was no different from a curse.
If Anya Taylor’s request came in this time, it would be okay to look for a curse that could be put on the shadow.
Jihoo hesitated, wondering if he was overpreparing.
However, he soon shook his head.
‘Considering the times I went through when I was young, this is a very natural result.’
No one knows what will happen.
‘I wonder if my father thought this way.’
You were always doing something.
Evaluate, create, and walk around.
Kurung-
At that time, a large army truck outside arrived in front of the street. Vehicles usually do not enter the street. Because there is no exit this way, the Hunter is forced to park outside the street.
From nob le mt l. co m
Most of the incoming vehicles are privately owned vehicles of artisans or delivery vehicles related to distribution.
“It must be a railgun bullet.”
prepared generously.
I wonder if I need to use this much, but the more I use it, the more I will run out of it. First of all, I only ordered about 2,000 rounds lightly.
You can store it in the warehouse behind the general store right now, but it seems like it will need an extension. At the same time, I thought it would be nice to secure the right to use the backyard and build an experimental shooting range and underground storage.
Is it excessive?
no. I don’t know if it’s because of Jihoo’s [super sense] or because of the anxiety caused by experience. However, the life he went through was not ordinary to believe in the peace that would last forever.
I need to talk to Aunt Miyeon.
And the climb goes one more time.
‘I could make a special ability related to rapid fire, including physical ability.’
In order to properly use [Thunder], the basic ability of the user is also important.
And I was greedy too. It’s because I thought of the 7th floor when I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about it on the 6th floor. The 7th floor is impossible right now, but I thought it would be a matter of time.
