Episode 174. The system store
sin (peccata) also had a quest.
There were separate rewards from NPCs for clearing quests and quest points given by the system.
In particular, the main episode was also regarded as a quest, and a large amount of points were given out each time the episode was cleared.
The place where you can use this point is the system store.
‘I never thought I’d see the system shop.’
From the moment the game became a reality, I thought that some things were as they were in the game and some things were gone, so of course the system store would be gone.
In particular, I thought the system shop would have disappeared as long as the quests were gone.
‘There’s also a quest. But I’ve never seen a daily quest before.’
I was curious about the quests, but let’s put that aside and check out the store first.
[Shop]
[Ability level] [Convenience function] [Draw]
[Currently held points: 6300pt]
When I opened the shop, the items I saw were unfamiliar.
Strange things aside, these were very unexpected things.
‘It’s different from the game.’
The system shop in the game sold items.
I didn’t sell those intangible elements.
First of all, I checked the ability.
[Ability level]
[Strength] [Agility] [Stamina] [Mana sensitivity] You
can buy a total of four items.
And the price was 100 points per stat.
I didn’t know how big stat 1 was, so I decided to leave it alone and check the rest.
‘Convenience features? Draw?’
I selected the convenience function while looking at two items that I had no idea about.
[Convenience function]
[Convenience function items are updated weekly.]
[Convenience function of this week: Reduction of evolution time―300pt (can be purchased once)]
“Oh?”
Does it reduce evolution time?
Seeing that it is updated every week, it seems to be selling various effects besides that, but this was very useful.
300 points is enough to raise 3 stats, but it seems a bit expensive… ….
‘Let’s buy it for now.’
[Would you like to purchase this week’s convenience features?]
“Yes.”
[300 evolution points are deducted.]
[Remaining evolution points: 6000pt]
Is it done?
I immediately opened the evolution window and checked it.
[Adrias Cromwell: Swordsmanship (Gifted)]
[Evolving… ….]
[Remaining time: 0 hours 05 minutes 00 seconds]
“That’s nice.”
All of the time on the 13th disappeared and only 5 minutes remained.
Surprisingly, the drastic reduction in time.
‘I’m going to use convenience features frequently from now on.’
But you can’t live without points.
I needed a way to earn points.
‘For now, it seems to be earning through quests… ….’
Penalty quests due to evolution failure are declined.
In the end, the only way left was the daily quest that popped up a while ago.
[Daily Quest: One step with effort]
[Push-up 0/3000]
[Squat 0/3000]
[Slash 0/1000]
[10 daily points when cleared]
10 points… ….
If you think it’s 10 points every day, you just spent 30 days worth of points to save 13 days.
I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was right after all.
Now that you have checked the daily quests, the only thing left is the draw item in the shop.
However, I had no choice but to stare at the remaining evolution time without checking the drawing.
‘please….’
The penalty was painful, but it didn’t matter too much.
The problem is that if you fail again this time, your life is really in danger.
Considering the amount of time it took to clear the penalty quest, there wasn’t enough food left.
-Titling!
And finally, five long minutes passed.
[Adrias Cromwell: Swordsmanship has evolved.]
[The talent ‘Swordsmanship (Gifted)’ has evolved to ‘Swordsmanship (Genius)’]
“That’s it! It’s done!”
I tried to keep my cool, but I couldn’t stand it.
What a swordsman genius.
Swordsmanship, an A-class talent, not any other talent, is a genius!
Benjamin was the only playable with a swordsman genius.
The rest of the playables have various gifted talents and prodigy talents in other fields.
[You have achieved ‘Achievement: Heaven-sent Sword Talent’.] The
achievement achievement message that followed was a bonus.
It feels like all the pain and trials I’ve experienced here have been compensated.
right! Tadak!
Nickel tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a thumbs up.
“Yes, thank you. Thanks everyone.”
I never thought I would say such cheesy words out of my mouth.
However, my mood right now was soaring.
“Whoa.”
I tried hard to calm my excitement and stay calm.
It’s not over yet.
First of all, I had to get out of here, and to do so, I had to study the traces of the sword engraved on the wall.
“Let’s try Nickel again.”
It was time to check the scars.
* * *
[Daily quest completed.]
[Daily point 15pt will be accumulated.]
“Ha.”
It was harder than I thought to hold on with only one finger while standing on a handstand.
It was easy to use mana, but the daily quest recognized only the pure ability of the body.
“Today is a 15-point quest. With this, including evolution points, we have over 15,000 points.”
Two years had passed since he had developed his swordsmanship talent before he knew it.
And I still haven’t escaped.
It’s already natural that he couldn’t go out, but he couldn’t restore the sword perfectly.
A sword technique that is difficult to restore even with the talent of a genius.
‘Is it natural that the sword was created by God?’
In fact, I found it too easy.
Did it seem easier because I didn’t know anything?
Rather, the talent of a genius was born, and the supreme group of sword techniques began to stand out.
I’m sorry to my teacher, but even if it’s compared to the selfless sword, it’s a high-level sword.
It was probably SS-class swordsmanship in terms of the rank in the game.
right!
Hwiwoong!
Nickel’s sword moved differently than before.
The sword technique left by this transcendentalist was not only learned by me, but nickel was also learning, and the monotonous nickel sword had changed a lot.
‘It’s very meticulous yet gentle, probably because it’s an elven swordsmanship.’
Looking at the sword, the person’s disposition and appearance are vaguely drawn, but it seems that the transcendental person who created this sword technique was a female elf.
‘No.’
Still, since the restoration of the sword method was nearing its end, he was able to relax.
No, rather, I intended to take advantage of this opportunity and hold out here as long as I could.
By now, at least a day had passed outside.
It was a miracle that four years were replaced by one day.
If you could go out freely, there was no place for training like this.
“nickel. Try it like this.”
wheeik?
“No, a little more meandering.”
Whirik?
“uh. I think that’s it, what do you think?”
right!
My thoughts were conveyed right away, so Nickel implemented the movement I thought of right away.
In fact, I have already figured out the shape of the sword method.
The problem is the flow of mana.
I had to find a movement of mana that fit the sword method, but that work was almost finished.
“Other places are done, but only this part is blocked.”
Crackle!
“Did it go wrong from the start? Or is it just wrong here? what? You have no idea?”
right!
After living here for 4 years, I talk to myself a lot.
Sometimes, when I was bored, I would summon Kriebmacher’s snout and have a conversation, but he was very annoyed with me.
For reference, perhaps because four years had passed, the probability of Kriebmacher’s evolution was close to 100%.
However, having learned from this opportunity that the penalty for failure is quite strong, I planned to completely fill 100%.
Even though I wasn’t in pain, it was a judgment I made because I didn’t know how the penalty would affect me.
– Kreung.
At that time, Timur, who was watching from the side, approached and made a strange movement wrapped in mana.
I watched for a while, wondering what he was doing, and realized something as if lightning flashed through Timur’s gradual movements.
“ah!”
That was it!
I realized after seeing Timur’s movements.
This swordsmanship was not simply swordsmanship, but a movement combined with taijutsu.
“That’s why it kept going off somewhere.”
Also, King Timur.
It was different from Nickel, who had no thoughts.
Crackle!
Nickel’s teeth clashed in protest, but now wasn’t the time to care.
“then…Is it like this?”
Whoo!
Quadruped!
At that moment, a great energy was concentrated in Galaksur, and one side of the wall that touched it slightly cracked.
The power of it made me break out in a cold sweat.
“It’s crazy.”
When Original Sin said that if you mastered this swordsmanship, you could escape, I thought it was just a gimmick, but it wasn’t.
It was just ignorantly breaking through with force.
‘I think I saw this somewhere… ….’
Come to think of it, I remember experiencing such powerful swordsmanship… ….
“Maksimin?”
It seems that Maximin’s swordsmanship was this powerful.
Of course, I didn’t meet the swords directly, but the impact of hitting Surahan was exactly like this.
It’s not the same swordsmanship, but the power itself seemed to be similar.
‘I’m curious.’
Suddenly, I wondered what it would be like if I stuck with Maximin.
Of course, I couldn’t beat Maximin, the Auror Master, but I wondered how long I could endure.
“Let’s go out for now.”
There could have been more if there were more.
My body itched when I realized that I could still go out.
After 4 years of training, I moved outwards.
* * *
Whoa!
A long whistle sounded, and soon someone appeared in the place where the sound came from.
Long golden hair, handsome face and long ears.
It was Seir, the leader of the Wind Knights.
It has already been a full day since entering the World Tree.
He approached the whistling figure.
“Did you find it?”
“The trail is around here, but it has disappeared as if it had been pulled into the ground.”
Vandarr, a young elf and member of the same organization as Seir, pointed to a certain floor and said.
Seir immediately looked at the floor.
“Really. It fell to the floor.”
“yes? Are you real?”
“okay. It’s a pain in the ass.”
Seir, who checked the traces with the spirit, frowned.
It was impossible to penetrate the floor, so in the end, I had to wander to find Adrias.
“Then won’t it die on its own if I leave it alone?”
“Don’t be alarmed. Is the oracle funny?”
“sorry. It was frivolous.”
Vandalieu immediately bowed his head and apologized.
Seir didn’t want to say anything anymore, so he said while scanning the surroundings using spiritism.
“First of all, you must find and kill them before Hoir or Hougen find them. The reason I killed it is because I can bring it and attach it somehow, so speed is the life.”
“Sir. However, he is the owner of a skill that can not be ignored, easily beating even the foram. If things don’t go according to plan… ….”
“Bandar. I am a warrior Are you ignoring me just because you became a warrior?”
“That’s not it, I’m talking about what I’ll find out first, if anything. In that case, I thought it would be appropriate to visit Seir first… ….”
“okay. Then bring him and come to me. You don’t have to try to solve it. Instead, be careful not to get caught only by Hougen and Hoir.”
“yes. I will.”
Soon, the two parted ways to find Adrias again.
Seir, who ran in the opposite direction from Vandalieu, recalled Adrias with a cold, hard impression.
‘Even if I defeated Poram, he’s not my opponent. I am a warrior. There’s no way I can lose to just humans.’
However, in his mind, he remembered a man he had met when visiting the Hwanin Village.
I didn’t know it then, but I learned his name later. His name was Maximin Cronell.
When he got in my way, goosebumps went all over my body.
“damn.”
Recalling useless memories, Seir, whose pride was hurt, knocked on the inside of the world tree.
There was not a single bit of respect for the World Tree in his actions.
“Humans. I will definitely kill them with my own hands.”
Seir’s self-talk, which he didn’t know who he was talking to, scattered astray.
