Episode 16 The interior of Magical Engineering Shopping
Street Reanew is almost identical to an old store that sells antiques.
Old, unidentified weapons are hung on the walls and display cases, stained with dirt, and mannequins wearing rusty armor and poncho raincoats are lined up below.
If you walk to the end of the hallway, you will see an appraisal room prepared for appraisal of unidentified items. Inside, you can hear a constant sound of a small motor spinning.
Jaehyun was lost in thought for a moment as he looked around the pile of brass-colored items that were only distinguished by their type.
‘When I came here before, I blew 8 million won and quit. maybe.'
In the past, Jaehyun had spent quite a bit of money at Les Avenues. He believed the words of a fellow raider who accidentally obtained a C-class item and bought the item and saw blood.
‘When I think of that time, my heart trembles again.'
Jaehyun trembled and moved his gaze back to the item.
At that moment, a man who appeared to be the store manager approached him and started talking to him.
“hello. I am Park Jin-cheol, the store manager here at Le Avenue.”
Park Jin-cheol stood in front of Jae-hyun with a business smile.
He pointed to a pile of unidentified items listed with his hand.
“As you can see, this store sells unidentified items. How is it? Would you like to try your luck?”
Jaehyun responded in an indifferent tone to Park Jincheol's contrived words.
“If you have a lot of good stuff.”
“of course. There is no unconfirmed item shop in this magic engineering shopping street that handles better items than our ?Leaine?.”
Store manager Park Jin-cheol bowed his head in response to Jae-hyun’s sullen words.
A tone full of strange confidence and certainty.
‘Seeing such a blue young guy come here alone, he looks like a rich boy... I can't afford to lose money.'
Park Jin-cheol, with a sad smile on his face, followed Jae-hyun, rubbing his hands together.
Jaehyun is a rare young customer at < < Leavenue > >, a shop that sells unidentified items.
This is a place that sells items that have not yet been appraised through legal procedures.
It mainly deals with equipment items excavated from ruins, and since it is not known what effect they have before appraisal, it can be seen that they are operated for the purpose of gambling.
Most of them were about the escape of a rich boy or the entertainment of high-ranking officials.
A place that is recognized as a place that ordinary people do not have a chance to come and should not come.
That place is < Leaven >, which sells unidentified items.
However, the reason Jaehyun set foot here wasn't just for gambling.
A while ago, System said that the skill ?Eye of the Absolute God?, which was a skill he had, generated a sub-skill.
Exactly 《Kanpa》.
According to the description of the Nornir system, this skill allows you to check the grade and stats of an unidentified item without appraising it.
‘It's a little disappointing that the system message pops up at the right time, but...'
Looking back, this has happened frequently since the change from Aesir to Nornir system.
Like the system giving advice whenever needed, or the sub-skills appearing like now.
Is it just a coincidence?
But the trouble didn't last long.
Jaehyun must face Nightshade and win within two months.
Right now, the priority is to focus on becoming stronger and to be fully prepared for the upcoming battle.
“I want to look around some items by myself. Would it be okay?”
“Oh, did I make you uncomfortable? sorry. Please feel free to look at it and tell me.”
Park Jin-cheol scratched his head and slipped away.
From now on, Jaehyun planned to look around the items using the 《Detection》 skill in earnest.
“Then……”
―Active skill 《Detection》 is activated.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa syaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa syaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa eyes...
As soon as the mana was blown into the eyes, the old piles of items that looked like antiques were peeled off and slowly began to reveal their true colors.
Jaehyun couldn't help but be stunned by the sight he saw in front of his eyes.
As if using a cheat key in the game, the grade and description of all unidentified items began to appear clearly.
‘Two C-class and one B-class?'
After a while, Jaehyun, who looked through all of Revenue's items, showed a little regret.
If he had progressed to A-class and obtained S-class equipment, he would have been able to show a better appearance in the fight against Night Shade.
However, Jaehyun was immediately convinced.
‘but. Among the unconfirmed items, the probability of getting A-grade or higher equipment is in the decimal point.'
It was as Jaehyun said.
At least, items up to grade B can be seen occasionally with unconfirmed appraisals, but the reality is that items higher than grade A are rarely found.
Except for Odin's Lost Eye, S-class items are the highest-grade items, and their price is at least several tens of billions of won. At most, it was quoted in the hundreds of billions.
It is by no means an item that can be easily obtained from such an unidentified item appraisal center.
“hey. this and this And one of these, please.”
Jaehyun calmed down the corners of his lips that kept rising, and spoke in a calm voice.
Park Jin-cheol happily brought the item Jae-hyun said to the cash register and took a picture of the barcode.
“oh my. You've picked some really good stuff. You won't regret it.”
“I hope so.”
When Jaehyun trembled, Park Jincheol raised his head with an expression of catching a big fish.
‘It's a big deal. Originally, such a third-generation conglomerate, Hogu's customer spends a lot of money.'
Park Jin-cheol asked while looking at the reenactment in front of him, calling out for joy.
“then. how. Are you going to appraise it right here?”
“yes. Please.”
“Then 9 million won for three unconfirmed items. In addition to the appraisal fee, the total will be 12 million won.”
“I’ll ask for a card.”
After Jaehyun finished the calculations, he followed Jincheol Park into the appraisal room.
The inside of the appraisal room was a little damp and dark, but it had a tolerable assortment.
In a place where high-tech machines are lined up, Park Jin-cheol started to appraise Jae-hyun's items.
Whieing.......
The machine spun and made the sound of a motor.
Park Jin-cheol put an item inside and told him to step back for a while.
The appraisal process was indeed simple.
Putting an item into a machine and then using ?Emotion? magic on it to bring it back to life.
The whole process of appraising the three items took about 5 minutes.
After a while, the long-awaited 5 minutes passed, and Park Jin-cheol shouted in a frightened voice.
“This one!! Unbelievable! Two C-class gear and one B-class gear! This kind of thing only happens once every few years!”
“ah. is that so?”
After replying in a calm voice, I checked the item information.
‘It's the same as I confirmed through the 《Detection》 skill a while ago. The skill effect is certain.'
Jaehyun smiled proudly.
On the other hand, Park Jin-cheol's expression was not very good.
A young customer who suddenly came and picked out as many as three expensive items. It was strange to feel good.
“......You really have a great eye. You seem to have good eyes.”
Park Jin-cheol's face was crumpled as he said that.
‘shit. Why would such a brat sweep away all the good items?'
Park Jin-cheol spoke flatteringly on the outside, but the inside was completely different.
Jaehyun, who had already expected the result, was simply amazed at the power of the skill.
‘Is this an EX-level skill?'
Originally, the grade of general skills was S. On top of that, unique skills were the last.
However, Jaehyun knows that there is one more grade that is superior to S rank and corresponds to his unique skill.
《Absolute Calculation》 obtained with the equipping of 《Odin's Lost Eye》, and 《Perception》 derived as a sub-skill this time, etc.
Skills directly related to the changed system were all classified as EX-level ‘non-standard' skills.
Overwhelming skills, each with enough power to break the balance.
Jaehyun has several of them.
‘It would be frightening if others knew.'
There was no need to reveal it to others, but Jaehyun was kind of mean.
“Here you are. It is an item where all emotions are over.”
Park Jin-cheol seemed to not want to hand over the item.
Jaehyun checked the information after handing over the three items he had purchased.
[Equipment Item]
Name: Apprentice Valkyrie's Earring
Grade: C
Apprentice Valkyrie's Earring.
Magic Power: +10
Set Effect: 0/3
Passive Skill: Mana Steal
*Apprentice Valkyrie's Necklace A set effect occurs when worn together with Apprentice Valkyrie's Ring.
[Equipment Item]
Name: Apprentice Valkyrie's Ring
Grade: C
Apprentice Valkyrie's Ring.
Magic Power: +10
Set Effect: 0/3
Passive Skill: Mana Steal
*Apprentice Valkyrie's Necklace Apprentice Valkyrie's Earring gives a set effect when worn together.
[Equipment Item]
Name: Robe of Divinity Grade: B
A robe made from the carpet of crops grown only in Alfheim. It resists the dark attribute and grants the wearer the protection of light to increase divine attribute attack power.
Dark attribute resistance: 50
Divine attribute: 100
A smile spread across Jaehyun's face after checking all the item information.
I came here to get the dark attribute resistance robe and almost gave up and went back, but I got an item that adds divine attribute attack power as well as darkness attribute resistance, so it's really a icing on the cake.
‘At this level, I'm satisfied with this shopping. There.'
Jaehyun looked at the two C-class equipment again and raised an eyebrow.
These two items are a set item.
Even though its grade is lower than ?Sacred Robe?, it is an item with a set effect.
‘It's ?Mana Stealing?...... This is a pretty useful skill.'
《Mana Steal》 is a magical recovery skill that restores 1% of the user's mana every time the user defeats an enemy. A very good skill as a wizard's passive.
Especially 《Chain of Lightning》 or 《Sacrifice》. For Jaehyun, who had a skill that consumed a lot of mana, it could be said that it was a skill like the sweet rain of a drought.
“Then I'm fine. Let's go.”
“yes. thank you.”
Park Jin-cheol greeted me dryly.
Jaehyun immediately left Revenue and wandered the streets looking for the remaining set items.
Now, if you collect only 《Apprentice Valkyrie's Necklace》, the set is complete.
Of course, it's a great item that increases magic power even if you just wear it, but it's human psychology to want to go with a set after collecting two.
two hours from it.
Jaehyun searched the magic engineering store for a long time and started looking for the remaining necklace.
And that time when I was exhausted and worried about going back.
I heard the soliciting voices of people with loud voices.
“everyone! After a while, the item auction in the magic engineering shopping district will begin. If you want to participate, please take a numbered ticket and wait in the central square!”
“What is the item for this auction?”
“Ah, that's... the Dark Elf's helmet, the Orc's mace, and the Goblin's dagger. and...... This is the apprentice Valkyrie's necklace.”
Jaehyun's eyes widened at the last words he heard.
When I wondered where the one remaining item was, it seemed that it had been auctioned off.
Jaehyun bit his lip.
‘If it was an auction, at least 10 million won would be easily passed over.......'
There is still a lot of money in hand.
But the more you have, the more careful you are.
After thinking about it for a while, Jaehyun turned around as if he couldn't help it.
“Still, I'd rather spend money than die from Nightshade.”
It was a simple conclusion.
After receiving a numbered ticket from the auction guide, Jaehyun headed to the central plaza.
A wealthy-looking man and woman were sitting in a crowded place.
‘All of them look like their money is rotting.'
Thinking that way, Jaehyun, who watched insignificant items being traded for tens of millions of won, immediately felt that his turn had come and corrected his posture.
“Now, let’s start the auction for the 21st item of the auction, 《Apprentice Valkyrie's Necklace》.”
* * *
“Here is the item you bid on.”
Jaehyun put on a bitter expression as he received the item from the intermediary trader.
“Somehow, the bid was successful. By the way…”
It wasn’t difficult to purchase an auction item if you had the money.
Furthermore, even though it is C-class, 《Apprentice Valkyrie's Necklace》 is an item exclusively for wizards.
Besides, since it's a set item, I don't know if I had the remaining two sets like Jaehyun.
Thanks to that, Jaehyun was able to purchase a necklace at a reasonable price.
“Ha...... No matter how much, 15 million won. It's a bit of a waste.”
Of course, as mentioned earlier, it was never expensive for a C-class item. but.
My stomach hurts when I think of purchasing two items from Revenue for 6 million won a while ago.
I never thought that the remaining items would be put up for auction.
In any case, Jaehyun immediately installed the items he had successfully bid on and opened the skill window.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Steal Mana
Rating: B
Stats: -
Every time you kill an enemy, 1% of your max magic is instantly restored.
“It is also a useful skill when defeating rubbish mobs. I am satisfied with this.”
Jaehyun nodded his head proudly.
I bought all the items I wanted and received magic tutoring from Kim Yoo-jung and Yoo Seong-eun.
In the future, the growth rate will be faster and faster.
At this speed, it was worth expecting good results in the decisive battle with Night Shade.
belt ring.
at that time. A text message came from Kim Yoo-jung.
[hey. Did you forget you have class today? If you don't want to be scolded by the teacher, come quickly.]
[Ah, that's right. I also buy some ice cream when I come. With Haken-Dazs, you know?]
Jaehyun sighed and scratched his head.
Just kill this thing?
Anger welled up inside him, but he couldn't help it.
Kim Yoo-jung is a genius who has almost mastered magic-related theories.
Jaehyun, who is in a hurry with Chinese poetry, couldn't easily find a tutor like this right now.
Eventually, he turned to the convenience store and sighed.
After a while, the transparent envelope in his hand contained ice cream and some of Kim Yoo-jung's favorite snacks.
