Paper 109 More money is better
The first thing she did was visit Miyeon’s aunt and make the backyard completely owned by Jihoo. It wasn’t difficult.
On this street, the people who have the most stake in [Tower of Indomitability] are Aunt Miyeon and Uncle Jiyeol. And because it was Jihoo.
Of course, having a share does not mean you can use the land as you please. Voting rights for shares held by artisans’ unions. In other words, Miyeon’s aunt has the actual right to use it.
Anyway, I was able to get it easily.
“I have to start with a practice shooting range… … .”
That’s it, contact the company.
Of course, you need money to do that.
“… … .”
I have no money.
A by-product of [Magical Devourer] is being auctioned off. There are a few things on sale, but I’ve used them up recently because I made a magic railgun and ordered tungsten ammunition.
There was only 500 million in the balance.
Of course, this alone is a lot of money. However, the amount of money moving is so large that it is difficult to see it as net profit.
If you don’t buy materials right away and don’t make production, it’s not a lack of money. Because in Seoul, I lived on much less money than this.
But writing develops.
The money has to keep rolling.
‘Received a request for an artifact from the Appraisal Association, received a request to strengthen the Musketeer, and the thorn slime… … I have to go once, but it’s hard right now, and Hyungbae… … Because developing potions takes a long time.’
There is nowhere to get money right now.
I can’t take away the shotgun I gave to Lee Hee-yeon. In order to make a proper shooting range, there must be material costs, but it is also necessary to add a magic circuit and special processing. You shouldn’t think of building a normal building. It was a place where monstrous weapons like [Thunder] would be tested.
“It reminds me of Aunt Miyeon’s words.”
No matter how much money you have, it’s not enough.
always lacking
continue to fall short
“… … I need to earn some money for a while.”
Jihoo put Umyeong back into [Subspace]. Personal reinforcement is: First of all, put it on the auction house and create an artifact worth a shot.
He looked at the monster by-products.
I’m going to use this to create an artifact related to [Flight]. It is a necessary item for the 7th floor, so practice is required. Also, it is money because it is an artifact that is in high demand and traded at a high price.
‘Let’s just want 10 billion.’
Then you will be able to make a usable shooting range. All you have to do is dig a basement floor as a side bridge to create a storage space.
For things like space expansion and distortion, Jihoo’s power is enough.
-[Advanced Floating Stone (500g)]
It is 500g out of the 2kg left without handing it over to DeHaan, the president of Sotheby’s. The reason why [Advanced Floating Stone] is expensive is because it can make an adult man [rich] with just this small amount.
Of course, this alone is difficult.
‘A medium-grade mana stone and a transformable black Kiriyum. Or iron? That’s not bad either. And if I use the breastplate of the Bukkake, something useful will come out.’
It’s a pity.
At this rate, an adult male can move forward at a speed of about 5 meters per second. but has no wings
Aren’t the flowers of flight wings?
Of course, I didn’t just think about the visuals. If you don’t have wings, you can name the option [Fly], but it’s no different from [Float].
This is because movements such as direction control, gliding, and gliding are limited. No, it should be considered impossible.
‘Wings, wings.’
I’ve caught [Sozo] before, but I only plucked the feathers. But that’s just a reinforcing material.
Jihoo stood up from his seat.
I left the general store at [Away] and went to the monster by-products store on the street. If you’re going to make it slowly, you can order it, but I moved right away when I needed something to sell in a hurry.
‘The wings of the 3rd floor rook are ugly, so the price isn’t going out, and the Wyvern is too big, so I don’t buy it unless I’m a servant.’
Hunter artifacts are usually more about practicality than appearance. This means options and durability are important.
However, the moment the [Flight] option is attached, it changes into a completely different world. Usually, you find [Flying] when you go up to power level 6 or higher. This is probably because they have the right purchasing power.
I have money because I am good at it. That’s why, not only practicality is important, but appearance is important. In fact, famous hunters don’t just make money from hunting.
From nominations to nominations, entertainment appearances or commercials, he earns more money. There is a perception that money spent on appearance is also an investment.
‘Also, once a picture is taken wearing a bizarre outfit, it will remain a dark history for the rest of your life.’
I also saw a Hunter who cared about that.
Certainly, the time has come for Jihoo to pay attention to design as well as practicality.
‘The best thing about flying is [Metal Crow], which is a metal bird.’
It’s not terribly big, and it’s not even that small. When folded, it fits perfectly on the back of an adult, and when unfolded, it extends up to 2m on both sides.
Besides, it’s metal, but it’s a purple that’s close to black, so it’s cool in itself. If you put magic on it, a subtle aura spreads out, but it’s not that cool.
‘Because of its outstanding flight ability, it’s bound to be expensive and rare.’
From nob le mt l. co m
Metal Crow is a pretty strong monster. They reach level 6 and live in groups of ten or more, and because they are metal, they have excellent defense and attack power.
He was once called a ruthless loser.
But now it is an endangered species.
‘It was absurd, to ban unilateral hunting of monsters, which are not animals, as endangered species.’
There’s nothing I can’t find
It’s because the price is outrageous, so there’s nothing left.
In the end, you have to think of another way.
“… … Let’s try using a metal stingray.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Metal stingray is [Floating] not [Flying]. In the first place, true [flight] requires the ability to control the wind attribute of the wings.
It can be called [Flying] only when it is at the level of [Advanced floating stone]. At that point, the difference between floating and flying disappears.
However, with 500g here, only [mid-range floating] comes out.
‘You don’t have to spread your wings, you float your body with a floating stone, put the wind attribute in the force field, and adjust the direction. If you use [Vortex], it might be faster than normal flight.’
It was an idea that came to me out of nowhere.
It’s good to have [Fly] itself attached to the wings. When it comes to flying, [float] and [change direction]. Also, because there is something like [Glide].
‘Even if you combine them separately, you can make them more sophisticated and faster.’
Wings also have their downsides.
The wings are spread wide, so it’s cool. Those with good control can attack opponents with their wings. However, it is true that it is burdensome in a narrow space or delicate manipulation.
You don’t need to save wings.
I have all the ingredients.

The problem is design.
Jihoo’s [Synthesis] level is at most a 3-star level. There are things that I have been neglecting in my studies lately, but it is also great that the schools and fields are so different.
Fortunately, the iron that Jihoo possessed passed through the hands of Mr. Jiyeol once. So there is no drop in quality.
“Design, design.”
One of the reasons for using the actual wing shape is that it can change direction, glide, and glide smoothly.
If you can’t use the [Vortex] by adding the wind attribute, you have to physically control the wind with the wings themselves.
The same goes for gliding.
There is no need to hold on to the wind by consuming mana and volume. It is possible to glide and glide just by fixing the wings.
“Definitely inefficient. But compact.”
Ji-hoo suddenly thought about that, and then became dumbfounded.
In the past, all you had to do was insert options into bracelets or rings. It was all about appraising unidentified artifacts.
Now I make something to sell.
We design by considering design, practicality, and buyer’s needs. Of course, it’s not that I hate it. It’s because it’s new.
“The circuit is a vortex and a low-level AI. Affluence and control, degree of awareness. It’s not difficult.”
Now this is easy.
I also tried a lot.
The design was the simplest and decided to make it usable as front and back armor. Come to think of it, the wing is definitely bulky, so it’s difficult to carry an additional expansion backpack.
this is the opposite
I decided to reduce the volume as much as possible, and go for fashion, as if it were there or not. Rather, this may be the right target for a niche market.
* * *
Once the design was decided, production was quick.
Jihoo’s ductility made a frame and engraved a circuit.
『Humming Bird [Field Field/Wind] [Rare] [Lv. 07]』
: A metal stingray’s force field and a magic predator’s advanced floating stone were used. It has a simple and compact design with a high-output flight option, and the size can be adjusted to suit the wearer. Also, since it is a smart option, it develops into increasingly sophisticated flight by breathing with the wearer.
* [Intermediate Free Flight]
* [Lesser Dimension Conversion]
Configuration of options is simple.
However, the elements of [Intermediate Free Flight] were not simple. [Vortex] was created by adding the wind attribute, and by adding [force field] to [Vortex] with low-level artificial intelligence, it was possible to rapidly change direction and glide. Basically, [Advanced Floating Stone] was used, so it was consumed for hovering (stationary flight). The power to become was completely removed.
This is one of the differences between flying and floating, but the biggest drawback of the [Fly] option is that hovering consumes a lot of mana.
In addition, agility is also reduced.
Because there is a constantly swirling vortex around the wearer, momentary still flight is possible. There is nothing impossible to float, but the difference in speed is definitely large.
That’s why I named it [Humming Bird]. It was because it reminded me of a hummingbird hovering in place.
“It will be right up to here.”
I could have [Set History] by consuming SP, but I didn’t. This alone will receive more than 8 billion won.
Just because you use 1,000 SP doesn’t mean you get 20 billion. Demand for flight options is significant at high altitudes, but they don’t get much more expensive going beyond that.
Also, the [Flight] option does not become advanced even if it is a [History] grade. The degree to which it is smooth, supple, and accelerates and decelerates quickly.
It means the value for money is not right.
We used more than 1 billion by calculating only the re-rule value. Intermediate mana stone, advanced floating stone, metal stingray magic iron, and even some medicines and additional materials.
‘It’s definitely regrettable.’
Once this is put up for sale.
And I decided to make another one.
There are a few things I learned while making this. And I knew what was wrong. Second, I decided to pick out the [History] grade without [History setting].
As long as the level of the material is good, there is no need to go through [History Settings]. Also, the moment you have [History], there is a different type of option that jumps up.
“… … I think it would be okay if we mixed up the space a bit.”
Jihoo himself thought it was a good idea. But the moment I remembered it, my head felt pounding.
Considering the cost of re-rolling, it seemed that this artifact alone would not be able to afford it.
“I guess I’ll have to focus on making artifacts for a while.”
From [Flight] to [Mod Shotgun].
They even make and sell [Healing Wands].
I also made a plan.
I decided to stop by the [System Auction House] after a long time. First, put one up here to attract attention, and then put it on Sotheby’s to publicize [Artisan Street].
It seemed like it was time to raise Jihoo’s awareness. It was because he thought he had built up a skill worth revealing on his own.
