Chapter 147. < Episode 46. Upgrade (3). >
8.
Players who play games think about it more than once.
“I wish there were some options like that here.”
I hope that the items you own have options that will be more helpful in battle.
Same with Midas.
When he received the upgrade quest, what option would Midas have in his head? I thought so.
Of course, I didn’t think vaguely.
‘Something similar to the option attached to the Serpent’s Eye staff will come out.’
Isn’t it an item made using fiery serpent crystals?
If that’s the case, there’s bound to be an option related to the Fire Serpent’s Eye Staff, an item exclusive to wizards from the Fire Snake series.
‘The Serpent’s Eye wand option… … It was an increase in abnormal state damage.’
The Serpent’s Eye staff option, which is the base, increased the damage of abnormal conditions, and of course, it was expected that the upgraded item would also have options related to abnormal conditions.
Midas’ prediction was exactly right.
[Tunga’s Flaming Staff]
– Grade: Legendary
– Required level: 126 or higher
– Tunga’s staff imbued with the power of the fiery snake. The power of the fire snake makes all magical properties stronger.
– Attack Power: 171
– Intelligence +155
– Magic +109
– All magic attack power increased by 19%
– Casting magic count increased by 1 when equipped
– All magic size increased by 30%
– When accumulated magic damage reaches a certain level, ‘Evil Eye’ )’ activates magic
– 100% increase in abnormal status effects
– Binds when acquired (Untradeable)
‘My God.’
It’s just that it’s far beyond Midas’ expectations.
It was literally.
‘This is ridiculous.’
Once attached, the basic options were different.
Among them, the merit of the 100% increase in status effects was very great.
The increased status effect means that the duration of the status abnormality as well as the damage has been increased.
Therefore, this option was even more advantageous to Midas.
‘If I use this… … ‘
Because among the skills Midas had, there were not a few skills that gave status abnormalities.
Starting with Lightning Shield and Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Shock Wave, and Thunderbolt!
Right away, all of the lightning-type skills mentioned earlier gave an abnormal status effect called paralysis due to electric shock.
Isn’t there even a trident with a freezing effect in Midas’ hand?
‘Wait, then the Inferno effect is doubled?’
Among them, the crowning glory was Inferno.
Inferno’s Curse if you touch the flames of Inferno!
The effect and duration of reducing the target’s recovery and magic defense are doubled?
“Uh…. .
Midas, imagining that fact, hardened as it was.
It was because the calculation stopped because it was out of the scope of imagination.
couw!
The jackpot sitting on top of Midas made a sound.
king!
As if waiting, Lucky barked loudly and woke up the owner.
“Master, what are you worried about?”
Finally, Gold’s question brought Midas back to his senses.
‘It’s not the time to be like this.’
The moment I came to my senses, I remembered Midas.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
What is the first thing you need to do right now?
9.
Jung Hyun-woo, who confirmed the phrase that the email transmission was complete, removed his hand from his smartphone.
‘Once the Rising Star channel was notified.’
After that, Jung Hyeon-woo closed his eyes.
Then, in front of his eyes, the option of the newly upgraded staff came to mind once again.
‘It’s my item, but it’s at a terrible level.’
It goes beyond the level of surprise to the extent that the expression is terrible.
That was the reason.
Jung Hyeon-woo hurriedly announced the news of his spec up on the Rising Star channel.
‘Anyway, I’ve informed the Rising Star channel that I’ve upgraded my specs, so I’ll deal with it accordingly.’
Rising Star Channel was now in charge of all planning related to BJ Grand Wizard.
‘I have to get paid for it.’
But what if the Rising Star channel does not know about BJ Grand Mage’s upgrade?
It would not be a loss, but there was a possibility that it would be a transaction in which I could not receive my ransom.
To put it simply, Jung Hyeon-woo sent the news of a spec upgrade to the Rising Star channel as a signal to refrain from trading for the time being.
‘The question is, how much more do I get?’
Of course, Jung Hyeon-woo didn’t know either.
To what extent did you achieve a spec-up through this item?
‘That’s why I need to quickly find out how much I am, so I have to give more solid information to the Rising Star channel.’
Therefore, from now on, Jung Hyeon-woo needed to more clearly grasp the power of BJ Grand Mage.
how strong you have become
How can I fight now.
what can be done in the future.
‘stealthily.’
Of course, it was advantageous to hide that fact as much as possible.
There’s no need to show off how much power you have in front of witnesses.
‘I like the night forest.’
10.
With the craze created by BJ Grand Mage still remaining, new news began to emerge.
– Did you hear about BJ Grand Mage?
b what news?
ㄴ Recently, I heard that wolves are just slaughtered in the night forest?
BJ Grand Mage is hunting in the night forest!
In fact, it was nothing unusual for a normal player.
For players around level 130, the night forest was a perfect hunting ground.
But what BJ Grand Mage has accomplished so far makes that fact not for granted.
– What does it mean to level up?
The question that it could not be so without any reason immediately brought up a colleague called Rumor.
– After all, it’s hard for BJ Archmage to go to the next hunting ground right away, isn’t it?
Well, the next hunting ground is the Red Goblin tribe.
ㄴ It’s better to level up as much as possible and move on.
ㄴ Maybe the rumor that BJ Grand Mage is looking for a partner is true.
Among those rumors, what most people are talking about is BJ Grand Mage’s party play.
It was not a vague story.
– No matter how much BJ Grand Mage raises his level, it’s hard to die in Red Mountain.
After graduating from Wood Village, the next hunting ground you will encounter is Red Mountain.
What players will face in the Red Mountain is a tribe of goblins that gather in groups of at least 30.
– Even if BJ Grand Mage can play solo there, the efficiency will be low?
A stage that requires party play in many ways.
– I heard that offers went from not a few places?
ㄴ They said they couldn’t even make an offer unless it was a tier 1 guild!
ㄴ I’ve also heard rumors from a few places, but I heard that the conditions placed on BJ’s great mage are enormous?
Naturally, people expected that BJ Grand Mage would play a party with a guild worthy of a name.
– I heard the offer came from there too?
Naturally, the name was also mentioned.
– The Abyss Guild also offered to recruit you.
Abyss Guild.
Rumors circulated that even those considered to be the strongest among the top 10 guilds were deeply interested in the BJ master mage.
“There is nothing wrong with that.”
Hearing such rumors, Merlin laughed.
“Because it’s true that I’m anxious to catch it.”
With that laugh, Merlin raised his head and saw Emma.
“I heard you asked for another deal from that side? So, what deal did you make this time?”
Emma nodded her head at the question.
“I gave you a blank check.”
“blank check?”
“I didn’t even say a request instead of yes.”
Merlin nodded at the explanation that followed.
“That’s right, the first priority is to stop BJ Grand Mage from really holding hands with Azmo.”
Merlin could understand Emma’s intentions right away.
“But, on the other hand, you can also make ridiculous demands, right? Something like the armor of an unknown archmage.”
And at the same time, he pointed out the problems in Emma’s plan right away.
“So we have to give it an impossible mission.”
Merlin nodded at the words of an impossible mission.
“Well, from now on, there will definitely be many things I can’t do alone. It would be impossible if I asked him to catch the Red Goblin tribal chief by himself right now. Oh, I can make that offer. Red Goblin Tribal Leader Solo Raid! Then I’ll give you anything!”
A sneer hung over Merlin’s lips as he spoke those words.
That laugh told me.
Even now that Merlin is spitting out such words, he knows that there is no chance that it will come true.
That’s why Emma nodded her head without saying a word instead of answering her words, and Merlin complained at that.
“Whoever it is, I hope that the conversation with him will be over soon and things will be sorted out. It’s not good for your mental health to worry about this forever. Moreover, these days, the raid difficulty is getting harder and harder. The balance is going to heaven.”
“I have to do what I have to do. Isn’t that just a huge profit?”
“Compared to what was at the end of it, it’s an absurd level.”
“I still have to do my part.”
At the words that followed, Emma nodded and immediately stood up from her seat.
“Then I’ll go do my job.”
Instead of answering, Merlin only waved his hand lightly.
Turning her back on such a plain farewell, Emma grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.
Ugh!
And the moment she came out the door, the smartphone in Emma’s arms vomited a short vibration.
Upon confirming the contents, Emma’s expression cooled.
‘I can’t trust the Abyss Guild anymore. So, at the Abyss Guild, pretending to have the will to join hands with the BJ Great Mage…’ An
expression that only those who made a decision could make.
‘…. Eliminate the BJ Grand Mage.’
With that expression on her face, Emma sent a text message on her smartphone.
‘There’s no way I’m going to hold hands with you, the great mage of BJ.’
The recipient was a venture.
11.
[You have killed Werewolf.]
[Your level has risen.]
Level up notifications that are always happy to hear.
However, the face of Midas, who heard the notification in the thick darkness of the night forest, did not look very pleased with the notification.
It was hardened as if it had assimilated into the darkness of the night forest.
Panting!
“master! It was a great fight again!”
Lucky and Gold, who finished the battle with such a master, started running as if competing to receive praise first.
Of course, the fastest was the jackpot.
couw!
Jackpot, who took Midas’ head at once, let out a long cry as if celebrating a winner, and Lucky and Gold made faces that didn’t like something.
growl!
“That naughty bird!”
Midas said in it.
“Oh sick.”
The three colleagues looked at Midas at the sudden curse, and Midas spoke again among them.
“You asshole!”
With those words, Midas lightly hit my head with his hand.
“You idiot!”
Midas blamed himself.
With that self-reproach, Midas looked at his new staff in his hand and said,
“You fucking idiot!”
The moment that self-reproach ended, a deep smile hung on Midas’ lips.
A smile that would make someone unable to control their joy.
The scene of the battle from earlier came to mind in Midas’s mind with that smile.
“You’re really stupid, Midas, for forgetting the Eye Magic!”
The moment the evil magic was activated, the scene froze.
Black Wolf and Wear Wolf The sight of Lucky and Gold Jackpot sweeping them away at once.
In such a sight, the sight of those who were affected by the Evil Eye magic and could not even fight back for a long time.
‘I can’t believe that this abnormal status effect will also apply to Sphere Magic!’
Midas was also an unexpected sight.
‘This is no joke.’
So Midas had no choice but to make a different calculation.
‘If the duration of the Evil Eye magic gets longer, the range of tactics I can use is…. .’
Scythe magic was charged according to the damage given by Midas.
In such a situation, the petrification time through Sarn magic increases?
That means Midas has more time to deal damage.
‘…. I can’t imagine.’
The merit that Midas could get through him was such that even Midas could not easily guess.
‘At this level, it would be possible to find a good tanker when hunting Red Goblins.’
Of course, Midas knew that it would be difficult to play solo in the next hunting ground even with this level of power.
‘There’s nothing I can’t do…’
Actually, I could do it.
‘The risk is too great.’
The problem is that if the situation is twisted and there is a problem against many monsters, the risk is very high.
‘Because I don’t have any survival skills.’
I don’t know if there is a more certain survival technique that can escape that moment, but there is no such thing, so there is no need to forcefully take the risk.
‘I’ll be able to collaborate with a good guild and catch the goblin chieftain. Any fancy production is possible.’
Furthermore, Midas has now made up his mind.
‘How long can I not play solo? Anyway, if you have a job like a necromancer and summon an army of skeletons, God Wars isn’t that kind of game.’
Now I have no choice but to play with other players.
In that determination, Midas turned his head and looked at the comrades who had helped him so far.
‘Okay then, I’ll go ahead and let the Rising Star channel know the upgrade level…’
Huh?
Only then could Midas be found.
Lucky and Gold with question marks above their heads.
An indication that the time for an upgrade has come.
