Paper 150 Power Up
They left the ruins at 2:00 in the morning. A simple barracks had been built in front of it, and construction equipment and materials were being installed everywhere.
It was to generate income by leaving it as a common dungeon because the monsters in the ruins would respawn once the artifacts were excavated.
‘Of course, I’ll get plenty of admission fees, and some of the taxes derived from it will come to me, too.’
That’s a huge fixed income.
“You are done! You worked hard.”
Team leader Oh Yong-pil greeted me first.
Ji-hoo, Lee Hee-yeon, Kim Mi-ji, and even the president Jung Woo-yeon were carrying large bags on their backs. I brought an extension disguise, but even that was not enough, so Jihoo made a space expansion bundle on the spot.
“Hey, what is this all about?”
“It is a relic. There were also quite a few general artifacts.”
“No, why don’t you call us. I was ready, too.”
“Oh, that’s-“
Jihoo explained simply.
The B-class ruins have changed to S-class, and now they are becoming a forest, not a red desert.
Only those who pass the test can enter, and we still don’t know what the test is. Also, if you touch Hyunmu, you can receive two advanced blessings.
“… … Is that true? It’s an S-class.”
“Go inside. hahahaha. I’m curious too, but we’re just allowed in and out. Come and be blessed from time to time… … .”
Jihoo took out a blue orb that emitted a mysterious light from his bosom. When I was about to leave the ruins, Hyeonmu appeared in the form of a blue spirit and handed them out one by one.
“I got this too. Its name is [Essence of Water], but it is a level 9 attribute stone. Those who pass the test can receive one of these. Of course, the level changes depending on the level of contribution.”
“… … It is beyond imagination.”
Jihoo was also curious.
So, I looked into dungeons through [Segmentation]. This was because Hyeon-moo had not been able to communicate separately, and had no choice but to find out in person.
When I came out of the sand castle, the brilliant oasis was twice as wide. Trees and grass growing from there were engulfing the area in an instant and becoming a forest.
“As a result of appraising this spirit stone and the dungeon, the only test that the hunter receives is to defeat the monsters in the desert that interfere with the formation of this forest. And the formation of barriers that help the formation of forests.”
“Hyeonmu gets help from that, and it feels like giving a reward to the hunter who helped, doesn’t it?”
“You can see that. He didn’t seem like a bad friend.”
Jihoo was also amazing.
I thought that there were also ruins like this. Also, as the name was changed to [Hyeonmu’s Rare], it became a [Dungeon] rather than a [Ruins].
“Congratulations, Mr. Shin. So you became the owner of an S-rank dungeon?”
Jihoo scratched his head.
And I see.
Considering the value of this dungeon, it deserves congratulations. Jihoo could earn tens of billions of dollars every week if she set her mind to it, but if she owned an S-level dungeon, tens of billions of dollars would come out for free every month with admission fees and loot fees.
It means unearned income received without doing any work.
“How did that happen? Can I entrust you with managing this dungeon?”
“If you do, thank you so much. We, Samhyeon Artifact, will manage it perfectly.”
Originally, it was decided to leave the management of the ruins while distributing a small fee. However, since it was changed from a B-class ruin to an S-class dungeon, I mentioned it again.
Jihoo then pointed to the bundle behind him.
“We packed some of the equipment we needed. I took the most valuable, so please auction the rest.”
“All right. I’ll take care of that perfectly. and… … .”
“Yes, feel free to speak.”
“Can we choose our fee directly as an artifact?”
“Sure, take it easy. Thanks to that, I was able to attack very easily. There are quite a few useful things.”
Thus, the raid on the ruins was over.
I thought that I would come often to obtain this [Essence of Water] in the future. In particular, all four of these [Essence of Water] had different options.
It meant random, and it seemed like it would take a lot of trying to get something decent.
* * *
back to normal again
In two weeks, I will challenge the 11th floor, but I need to finish my preparations before that. Of course, there is also a break in the preparation.
“Ah-ha-am-I can’t get tired.”
Attacking the ruins was not that easy.
In particular, collecting, appraising, and taking care of artifacts was the most difficult. It was a big thing that I couldn’t call the auxiliary team.
with my daughter-
It was Miji Kim.
As soon as she got to work, she did a simple cleaning, and even made coffee and sat on one side. I’m so used to it that anyone who sees it will think Kim Mi-ji is the president.
she asked Jihoo.
“What was the option for the essence you received?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim lives with the [Essence of Water] in her bosom. I love her so much that I could believe she was my boyfriend.
But it was something worth doing.
“I amplify water attribute control power and grant special defense two.”
Even both are senior.
Control amplification was also present in [Flower of Hersia], but if this was included, Jihoo was no different from a master-level water wizard.
It’s possible because it’s an advanced level.
In addition, [Enhanced Special Defense] could be used on the force field or the robe itself, but unlike [Enhanced Water Attribute Control Power Amplification], which only applies once you own it, you had to equip the artifact with [Essence of Water] to use it.
so i’m worried
“I [advanced water attribute conversion]… … . It’s a really good option, but since I’m a fire and wind mage, I’m worried.”
[Advanced Water Attribute Conversion] is an option that converts fire or wind attributes into water. Literally, it is as if Kim Mi-ji, the wizard of fire and wind, was endowed with a water attribute.
Of course, since you have to create and convert either fire or wind, fire and water. I had to think about how to mix wind and water.
“Can I use all three?”
“My control isn’t that great. In particular, if you use water and fire at the same time, the five stars made in your heart will shake until they are about to break. I guess I have to reach 6 stars.”
“… … It doesn’t.”
If Jihoo’s Essence of Water had [Advanced Water Attribute Control Power Boost], the words would be different. Perhaps you can handle the three attributes freely.
But I couldn’t give you this.
“I should go to Hyeonmu’s Rare often, right? do you know Will there be an amplification of the water attribute control power?”
who attacked once.
So Jihoo, Miji Kim, Heeyeon Lee, and Wooyeon Jung. Even if he went back in, he could still receive Hyunmu’s quest.
The level 9 essence obtained this time may be difficult to obtain. It was the essence of the level he received after saving Hyeonmu’s life and freedom, so no matter how hard he tried next time, level 7 to 8 would be the limit.
But if you’re just looking for [control]… … .
‘Actually, it’s not that hard.’
Jihoo saw his essence.
It’s better for Kim Mi-ji to use this than for Ji-hoo to use. But it is a matter for further consideration. Level 9 Essences are never easy to find.
“I should… … . Didn’t you say you would challenge the 11th floor in two weeks?”
“yes.”
“I hope I can get it before then.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim’s worries did not end there.
“Once I get them, can I put two Essences of Water on this robe?”
Among the ruins Kim Mi-ji obtained from the sand castle, except for the magic book, this robe is the only equipment.
『Dawn of the Red Desert [Flame] [History] [Lv. 09]
: Robe of the priest who received the blessing of the Red Desert. He scooped up a handful of the flames of the beating sun and created an inextinguishable prominence.
* [Prominence]
* [Advanced Fire Resistance]
It’s great stuff.
[Prominence] was not a simple fire. It was an option with firepower reaching level 9, just like the explanation that he had scooped up a handful of the red-blazing sun.
It can be compared to some extent with [Salting of Hell]. There was [Advanced Fire Resistance], so I could work on the 11th floor without much problem.
Now the power is starting to match.
“Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult? It would be better to make another artifact and equip it.”
Since the properties are diametrically opposed, both properties will be halved. It’s definitely better to make another water-friendly artifact.
The problem is that even if they do, there is a risk of conflict because they are so contradictory in nature.
So it must be a big concern.
“Certainly, all the artifacts obtained from the sand castle are of the fire attribute, so there is no way to equip them with the essence of water. I’d rather go to the [Snowy Mountain in front of the station] and find something good. It’s not bad to buy it with the money from selling artifacts.”
Jihoo suggested a solution.
Then, Kim Mi-ji’s eyes twinkled and looked at Ji-hoo. very burdensome… … So, it was like Lee Hee-yeon’s eyes trying to ask Ji-hoo for something. That was it.
“Why, why? awfully.”
“I get the money from selling artifacts. Can’t you make it yourself? president? please… … . It’s much better to have the boss make it than to live anywhere else.”
Jihoo scratched his head.
There is nothing you can’t do.
The problem is time.
“Can you finish it in two weeks?”
“I will work harder! really. How about a full-time job! I really do everything!”
“… … Hmmm, I’ll get it soon. I’ll think about it.”
So, Jihoo decided to make one more artifact.
It wasn’t just because she asked. It was because trust had been built up while fighting with her until now.
Her passion for pure magic. And the trust shown to Lee Hee-yeon and Ji-hoo. There is no law telling her not to betray one day. It’s not like Lee Hee-yeon’s deep trust.
But I thought I could trust him for once.
‘Besides, to get to the 11th floor, it’s better for her to use water magic smoothly. I’ve gotten even higher fire resistance, so it’ll be a decent power.’
fire and water.
and wind.
Even in [The Tower of the Five Elements], only a few famous wizards use the three attributes. Of course, if you use common magic as a standard, you can use all five attributes.
What Jihoo is talking about is those who use opposite attributes such as water and fire when performing 5-star or higher level magic.
‘Actually, these three attributes have no weaknesses.’
The same goes for Lee Hee-yeon.
The artifact she obtained this time is the [Leather Armor of the Great Warrior], but it also has [Advanced Fire Resistance] and has a physical shield close to [Transfer] that is different from force field magic.
The defense limit level reaches 9.
Lee Hee-yeon’s armed strength rose significantly with just that armor. The unique force field bracelet Jihoo gave me blocked up to level 6, but it was too weak to go to the 11th floor.
‘Because the option that came out with the essence of water was [Hyeonmu’s Will] to make a weapon out of water… … .’
Probably Jihoo or Kim Miji. And I think it’s the rarest and most amazing option among the [Essence of Water] that President Jeong Woo-yeon received.
Not only did it have the unique name [Hyeonmu], but it was also an option that could control the water flow like Jihoo, so it was very useful.
[Hyeonmu’s Will] is an option that helps Jihoo to use water, just like using [Witch’s Robe] to pull out and use water.
How to use it will depend on the user’s will, but it won’t change much from Jihoo’s usage.
‘Still, if it’s Lee Hee-yeon, she’ll figure out how to use it that’s right for her.’
Jihoo nodded.
It has definitely changed.
“… … I went to the ruins once, and my energy jumped up.”
I shook my head as I was going to look for the ruins again.
It is better to go to the 11th floor.
Looking for [Fragment] from Jihoo and having a lot of [SP] supply, the flame-related monsters on the 11th floor will be more helpful in the future.
In particular, as level 10 or higher monsters start appearing, it will be of great help in making [Treasure] artifacts.
If you go all the way to the 13th floor where the [Frigid Knights] are now, it won’t be impossible to make [Legendary] grade artifacts.
‘It’s the 11th floor, how should I attack it?’
You just need to attack.
If you survive there and have enough power to kill a few monsters, Jihoo can also make level 10 or higher artifacts.
If so, it could be made S-class.
“… … Come to think of it, I should go get my appraisal and production grade updated.”
