Chapter 44 Summary
A few days passed.
Jihoo was hospitalized for two days. He fainted due to excessive use of mental power. It was fortunate that there were no major problems with the body.
Afterwards, riot police chief Lee Chul-hyeon and Anya Taylor inquired about the incident in detail, but Jihoo had nothing to say.
because I didn’t know anything
It was just to tell you some of the information that was [viewed] at that time.
“after.”
He sighed.
Now that I think about it, it was a foolish thing. But I don’t regret it. Even if no one noticed, didn’t he prevent a disaster that would cover [Craftsman’s Street] in advance?
That’s enough.
Besides, I got a lot of SP. It looks like you’ve accomplished more than you thought. That’s not too bad either.
“When you clear your head, it’s work.”
After putting all her worries to one side, the problem in front of her was the [Coat of Darkness]. More than half of them are gone, so [Self-repair] doesn’t work either.
“It’s almost done.”
From nob le mt l. co m
More than half are gone. The tip is tattered as if it had been burned, and all options do not activate.
Originally, [recovery] was impossible at this level. No matter how much [Self-repair] was put in, it was only [Intermediate].
If you can repair this level yourself, it should be [Advanced]. It’s only possible if you’re lucky, and you can see that it can be completely restored only when it’s a [highest level].
‘But I have a setup intervention.’
『Dark Shadow Coat [Water/Dark] [History] [Lv.08] (Severe Damage)』
Jihoo decided to erase [severe damage] from this information.
– A total of 1,800 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
I expected it, but it definitely consumes a lot of SP. In fact, considering the historical rating at level 8, it may not be that big.
The problem is that there are too few SPs.
A few days ago, I consumed too much SP on Mt. Chilbo. Since it was a one-time use, it compensated to some extent with achievements, but the consumption was overwhelmingly high.
If you use 1,800 to repair the coat, all you have left is 550SP. There isn’t much you can do with this.
“… … A waste coat.”
Jihoo ran many simulations in his head. What materials and how can I use them to minimize SP consumption?
Why don’t you just get black crocodile skin, add it, and spread the mana stones? But even that requires quite a bit of SP.
“Let’s just write.”
You can’t spend time and money trying to save SP forever. This time, you just have to repair it with SP and go to the tower one more time.
Because it’s a job that I did once, there’s no possibility of getting an achievement.
– A total of 1,800 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
Jihoo decided to save without hesitation.
flash-
A small light arose.
The coat, which seemed to never be restored, began to be restored. In order to work properly, the complex work that would have to be left to a craftsman from leather tanning is done in an instant.
Tiny particles are created somewhere and stick to them, and the particles take shape and color to form a perfect coat.
flutter –
Recovery was over in an instant.
As if it had been the same from the beginning, it was a perfect figure without a single error.
‘This is like creating something out of nothing.’
What is SP?
Creating something out of nothing, and that something just includes materials and options.
The more you look, the more curious you are.
Jihoo watched that for a while and then picked up the phone.
“Oh, Heeyeon. have to climb huh? Are you still having a hard time? How much is left for the ogre glove installment… … .”
It was for scheduling.
It seemed that the time had come to enter the tower.
* * *
Team leader Oh Yong-pil and assistant manager Han Jin-jung had some free time after a long time and were drinking coffee at a cafe outside the artisan street.
“Shouldn’t that be reported?”
Where he looked sideways was a shabby concrete building, and in front of it was Heo Hyeon-joong, who was smoking heavily.
He looked at this place with a dissatisfied face and then spat.
“You were kicked out for snooping in front of the [General Store of Trust] a few days ago, right?”
“Yeah, I overheard something being said, but it certainly wasn’t a good story. It was mixed with cursing.”
“hmm.”
When Oh Yong-pil was silent, Assistant Manager Han Jin-jung continued.
“I did a little research, and there is a record of Mr. Jihoo working for several years in [Hyeonjoong Appraisal].”
“I know.”
“… … yes?”
“I’ve been researching it for a while. The day after Jihoo handed me the potion.”
“Uh huh. As expected, the team leader is fast.”
“The Hyeonjung appraisal said Jihoo was put on the blacklist in the same industry. That person named Heo Hyun-joong is the son of Hyun-joong appraisal president.”
“Wow, sir- really?”
Team leader Oh Yong-pil nodded.
“But can I keep it here?”
“You know. That boss and our Artifact boss are cousins.”
“That’s right.”
Assistant Manager Han Jin-joong replied as if he had lost his strength.
Heo Sang-soo, the president of [Hyeonjoong Appraisal], is the president of [Samhyeon Artifact] and the third cousin of the Samhyeon Royal Family.
“Besides, you know that recently? The reason why such a small laboratory came all the way here with our Samhyeon name.”
It’s a slush fund issue.
A word that cannot be easily put into words.
“I know. but… … A small appraisal center with no skills. No, cut Mr. Jihoo in that little place and put him on a blacklist? Hey, people’s eyes are strained. It’s common sense that you should have stopped him by holding on to his pants crotch.”
Han Jin-joong was getting angry as if it was his own business, probably because he liked Ji-hoo.
Team leader Oh Yong-pil was lost in thought without saying anything. how long has it been After a while, he opened his mouth.
“Let’s wait and see.”
“Are you okay?”
“What are you going to do, Ji? Rather, it’s better to wait until you make a mistake. Because you can cut it properly only if you hold on to it and push it. If it moves vaguely, it’s perfect for cutting off its tail.”
Han Jin-joong felt goose bumps when he saw the team leader saying such a thing. Even if you always seem like a nice person, you can’t be that scary when you sharpen a knife.
In this case, you have to be careful with your words.
“[World Appraisal Association] Anya Taylor, Director of Strategic Support for Asia. Choi Hye-yeon, the leader of the [Knights of Cold Cold] and the ‘Witch of the Dragon Slayer’. [Artisan’s Street] Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the association. This time, [Superman Task Force 363 Mobile Battalion Captain] Mad Dog Lee Cheol-hyun. Isn’t Shin Ji-hoo an absurd tycoon to be seen simply as a general store owner?”
“… … Uh, yes.”
“We just have to wait and see.”
Assistant Manager Han Jin-joong nodded.
That’s all right.
Shin Ji-hoo, who was thought to be a general store owner, no longer exists. It turns out that he is a giant among giants.
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t know.
“Did you hear the president of the union talking to the president of the association at that time?”
“Yes, I was shaking.”
“If we can cut it on our line, we can cut it and go to the head of the union. You seem to care for Jihoo a lot.”
“It seems so.”
The two got up from their seats after glancing at Heo Hyeon-joong. Anxiety crept up, as if there would be an accident soon, but the only thing I could do right now was to block people from entering the street.
Until I made a mistake out of frustration and anger.

“… … Ha, difficult, difficult.”
Jihoo made an appointment with Heeyeon Lee and organized the display stand.
From the shelf on the left, from low-level potions to medium-level potions. They are listed by type of trauma healing, internal wound healing, detoxification, physical strength, and magical power.
Below that, the scrolls were arranged in order of lower, lower, middle, and intermediate levels.
‘This is consumables.’
From the middle, mana stones and by-products are on display, but there is no [lower grade] here. These are things that start at least 100 million. This is a phenomenon that occurred when Jihoo recently bought it for production.
“The price is too high.”
The middle by-product and the right accessory and small equipment are at least level 4 and all intermediate. It’s small, but it starts at least 300 million won.
This creates a problem.
“… … Did I touch you too much by raising the SP?”
I also experimented with this and that.
If there was a lowest level, it was raised to a lower level, and the options that could be fused were raised to the middle level while combining them.
It didn’t consume much SP, and since they were all different types of artifacts, I was able to occasionally display achievements.
The problem is that he cannot properly follow his father’s will. A friendly and reliable general store located close to the tower. There is a precondition of being considerate of beginners.
“The place is too small.”
As a result, Jihoo’s gaze naturally turned to the container.
It doesn’t matter if the quality and price of the artifact goes up. The problem is that there are no lesser artifacts. If so, let go of both.
In fact, considering the vacant lands in front and behind, there is no problem even if it is three times larger than it is now.
‘Oh, it was strange that he occupies this much expensive land.’
When I was young, I just thought I would.
From nob le mt l. co m
My father wasn’t even that rich, and emotions and recovery. A self-employed person who barely makes ends meet.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
It’s just that they’re kind-hearted, and since they’ve all survived together for a long time, it seems like they’re getting along well. I thought.
‘So I thought I’d keep living in a container, but this could be more expensive than this land.’
Gangnam, one of the top 5 safest cities in the world, boasts ridiculously expensive land prices.
Only pioneering artisans and a few good places show land prices comparable to those in Gangnam. It may be strange when you think about it, but it comes at such a price because it contains shares in the [Tower of Indomitability] regardless of its location.
‘Although no one wants to come in anyway.’
Every year outsiders come to [Craftsman’s Street] to open a shop. The monthly rent is cheap compared to the land price.
But nine out of ten give up.
It is a place where people who know each other are friendly, so it is difficult for outsiders to endure. It’s not that there’s bullying. It’s just because they have such great craftsmen and personal connections that they can’t compete with them in terms of price or quality.
Of course, there are always exceptions, and each craftsman who has established himself as such has no choice but to excel in his skills.
It’s definitely a strange town in many ways.
“You may need to extend the container.”
The problem is big.
A container of at least level 7 or higher.
How do you expand on this?
with my daughter-
“hello.”
“I see you again.”
It’s a familiar voice.
It was Anya Taylor and Mad Dog Lee Cheol-hyun. Jihoo bowed his head and stood in front of the coffee machine.
“Can I get you a drink?”
It’s the first time since then.
After Ji-hoo came to his senses and had several meetings for investigation, he didn’t come back anymore.
“I came because I had a request.”
Anya Taylor was the first to speak.
“I do not go to the labyrinth.”
“I only ask for this artifact, appraisal.”
Anya Taylor pulled an artifact from her bosom. Judging from the fact that he put it in his bosom without any device, it doesn’t seem like an object that would affect the surroundings.
And that would mean that the rough feelings are over.
“What is it?”
“This is an object I found while tracking down the ‘humanoid artifact’ that was in Chilbo Mountain at that time.”
It was a ring.
It didn’t become [Read] right away, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. Because I had already [viewed] the power of the monarch.
“I tracked down the monarch. Traces continued towards Russia… … .”
“Our riot squad was in charge. I found the lord and tried to attack it, but none of the attacks worked. I don’t know if it’s simply because of the high level of power or if it’s the power of the artifact.”
Lee Cheol-hyun added to Anya Taylor’s words.
Jihoo listened to the two of them for a while. The existence of a [lord] is like a [disaster]. Totally unpredictable, asymmetric existence. The only way is to find weaknesses and exploit them.
[Relic] and [Labyrinth] are not problems that can be solved simply by being strong.
‘Let’s appraise this first.’
And it wasn’t as difficult as I thought.
