26. Mutant
“You said you caught this in Myka Swamp?”
“What’s wrong?”
To be precise, it was not caught in Myka Swamp, but in Hind Village Inn. However, it remains unchanged that the Black Swamp Leech came from the Mikah Swamp.
“It’s true that the patient got infected after going to Myka Swamp.”
“…You don’t know what this is?”
“It’s a leech.”
“This is a variant of the Black Swamp Leech.”
“A mutant?”
“It’s a little different from normal monsters. Look Carefully.”
Lafay pulled out a magnifying glass and showed it. Originally, the black swamp leech had black teeth, but the one I caught this time was red.
“It’s teeth color is different from that of a normal object.”
some kind of mutation. In the Azul Continent, it is called a mutant.
“Really.”
“Mutant monsters have characteristics that cannot be found in normal monsters.”
A slightly different body shape, using special powers, or spitting out strange objects.
“It’s not just what happened there. Mutant monsters are all stronger than normal monsters.”
Lafay looked around for the leech variant.
“You must have had a hard time catching it.”
“I had a hard time.”
Kang Seung-hyeon recalled the fight earlier. I thought it was just a slightly strong monster, but I thought it was a super rare unique mutant.
“It’s in bad shape because it was split in half…”
“I’m thinking about 300,000 gold.”
Lafay tapped the calculator and said.
“How about 3 million gold?”
“yes?”
“If it’s not enough, I can add more. It will take some time to come up with money.”
“Three million?”
The money was enough to buy Freea’s crossbow. Seunghyun Kang asked with a face that he did not understand.
“this?”
“of course! I told you!”
bang bang!
Lafay pounded on the table and shouted.
“This is a mutant!”
“I understand that, but isn’t it like a rare monster after all?”
A powerful monster that looks similar to a normal monster but has special powers. Rare monsters also have similar properties.
“It is similar to a rare monster, but there is a crucial difference. I don’t know?”
“…remains of rare monsters cannot be used as materials.”
“I know.”
Lafay said with a grin.
Unlike normal monsters, the remains of rare monsters do not have any abilities. Even the taste of the meat is not good, so it is impossible to eat it. If you’re going to aim for wreckage, it’s better to catch normal monsters.
“It is said that the source of a rare monster’s power is an artifact. In return, if the artifact is damaged, the power seems to dissipate.”
Could it be that rare monsters gained artifacts and lost their original powers for some reason? The pharmacists thought so.
“Mutants are the exact opposite of rare monsters.”
Mutants are popular because they have tremendous power. However, it is traded at a high price because the quantity is so small and research has not been done properly yet.
“Apothecaries covet it.”
“So what is the conclusion? Are you going to sell it or not?”
“Obviously we have to sell it. Even if I had it, I have nowhere to use it.”
You can buy a precious crossbow by selling insect corpses, but there is no reason not to sell it. Lafay nodded happily.
“It is a wise choice. This is why I like Mr. Kang.”
“I am. I like that Mr. Lafay is cool.”
Negotiation done.
The two shook hands, satisfied with each other.
Because Kang Seung-hyun had a lot of money coming in.
Lafay has good stuff coming in.
“I’ll get some money from inside. I only traded cheap things… I don’t have a lot of money to spend these days.”
“Please.”
Lafay went inside the corner of the tent. It seemed like it would take some time to get the money out.
‘I have nothing to do, so let’s play roulette once.’
[Cumulative points: 172 points]
[20 points for one use of roulette]
There were plenty of points left. Kang Seung-hyun played roulette.
‘5 consecutive roulette.’
[Points are consumed.]
[Accumulated points: 72 points]
100 points disappeared and a roulette was created.
[※During the roulette lottery]
The roulette went fast.
‘Please don’t come out with only gold.’
[※ Roulette results]
☆[Others (1 gold)]
☆[Others (2 gold)]
☆[Others (1 gold)]
☆[Others (1 gold)]
‘Fuck!’
Today, only rubbish came out of roulette. It’s just a small amount of money, as if he was aiming for it on purpose.
‘Gold rush!’
Kang Seung-hyun was indignant when he saw the roulette.
gold rush. A slang term used by dimension movers to describe a phenomenon in which only gold pours out when a roulette wheel is turned.
It occurs unexpectedly often, causing pain to many dimension movers.
‘If you’re going to give me garbage anyway, give me stamina or stats!’
It’s not even stats at all, it’s a gold rush. Today seems to be a really unlucky day.
‘…So what’s the last one?’
Kang Seung-hyun confirmed the 5th roulette reward by using Oh Man-sang.
‘Looks like gold… huh?’
☆[Skill (How to make an attribute potion-Air)]
A new skill came out as if sorry for giving only trash.
‘…It’s probably like this before.’
Suddenly, Oh Man-sang disappeared and a smile appeared on Kang Seung-hyun’s lips.
‘The recipe for an attribute potion…. It’s a skill that can be used as it should.’
Attribute potions, as the name suggests, are potions that contain the power of attributes.
The fire attribute is a fire potion and the water attribute is a moisture potion.
The ice attribute, which is a derivative of the water attribute, is a cold potion and so on.
‘If it’s an air attribute, is it a wind potion?’
Property potions can be used to give properties to objects.
For example, if you use a fire potion on a weapon, the power of the fire property skill becomes stronger and heat comes out.
‘Wind potions are useful for cooling down a patient’s fever. Shall I make a bottle or two?’
Beginner attribute potion materials are easy to obtain. All you need is water and magic potions and attribute stones.
‘I already have the water and magic potions, so what’s left is the windstone.’
You can get this by going to the apothecary.
‘This is the apothecary’s tent.’
Seunghyun Kang waited for Lafay to come out.
“Here’s 3 million gold.”
thud!
Lafay came out and set the money bag down on the table. It was heavy because the contents were 3 million gold.
“thank you. And a windstone, please. how much is it?”
“Windstone? Just take it.”
Lafay threw a bag of windstones from the shelf.
“The corpse of the Black Swamp Leech is enough.”
“thank you.”
“Thank you, I am grateful.”
Lafay grinned and pointed at the carcass of a black swamp leech.
“How precious is this? Even if you have money, you can’t buy it if you can’t sell it.”
“Are you that precious?”
“Natural variants are rare. I never thought I would get caught in Meika Swamp.”
Rare monsters are also rare, but they are common compared to mutant monsters.
“Natural? Then, can I have a form?”
“Hundreds of thousands of regular monsters. If you try to synthesize tens of thousands of them as sacrifices… you can make them occasionally.”
Such variants are referred to as artificial variants. Natural variants are extremely rare, so what is actually traded in the market is artificial variants.
“But not everyone can make it. If possible, I would have made it a long time ago.”
In particular, if it is a high-level monster like the Black Swamp Leech, it is impossible to create artificial mutants unless you are a top-ranking magician.
“I haven’t heard of such a guy around here… and the teacher must have been lucky enough to catch a wild mountain. Be envious.”
Thinking of Lena, who suffered all week, is it good luck or bad luck? Kang Seung-hyun thought with a puzzled face.
– “Goodbye then.”
“If good stuff comes in, come sell it again.”
After finishing his errands, Kang Seung-hyun left Lafay’s tent.
With this incident, Kang Seung-hyun’s money came into his hands as much as 3 million gold. All thanks to the Black Swamp Leech.
‘I’m glad Huis didn’t know.’
Fortunately, Huis did not appreciate the leech carcass. His divine power is excellent, but his knowledge of bugs seems to be at the level of a kindergartener.
‘I’ve collected the target of 14 million gold, so let’s go to the store.’
Looking up at the sky, the sunset was about to set. Kang Seung-hyeon managed to get the money for the crossbow before the sun went down.
with my daughter
“anybody home?”
“Oh, welcome.”
When I opened the door and entered the store, the owner greeted me warmly.
“You are the guest who came yesterday.”
He remembered Kang Seung-hyun. It’s only natural to remember it since you traded in a ring of concentration for 6 million gold.
“I have prepared the money. A crossbow is fine, right?”
“Not already?”
“14 million gold. Count it.”
thud!
Kang Seung-hyun put down the bag of money he had brought. It contained an enormous amount of gold, so it looked heavy even at a glance.
The shopkeeper looked at the bag of money and muttered with a surprised face.
“I thought he was not an ordinary person, but he was more amazing than I thought. It wasn’t a small amount of money…”
Earning 4 million gold in less than a day. All I can say is that it was amazing. It would be difficult to earn this much money in one day unless you are extremely strong.
“I really need that crossbow.”
Whether the shop owner was surprised or not, Kang Seung-hyun had a calm face.
“Of course I have to. Here you are.”
The weapon shop owner brought Freea’s crossbow. The crossbow was shiny like new without a single flaw.
‘A guy who doesn’t know what this crossbow is would pick it up, so it’s probably not an ordinary item.’
Black body and unique patterns. And even an unknown aura. It seems that some mysterious power is asleep.
“I will write well. Now this is mine.”
“I’m glad a good weapon has found a good owner.”
The shop owner replied, but Kang Seung-hyun’s words were not directed at the shop owner in the first place.
‘Are you okay? I got it as instructed.’
It was a remark to ‘something’ who was watching this situation from behind.
widely!
When touched, the crossbow was engulfed in black light and transformed into a bracelet.
click!
Kang Seung-hyun wore a bracelet on his wrist. It was so light that you could barely feel its weight.
‘It’s definitely light.’
It seems to be useful in a surprise battle. I can’t imagine it being a crossbow when it’s in bracelet form.
‘I haven’t said anything yet.’
Seunghyun Kang quietly looked around. I even wore it in the form of a bracelet, but ‘something’ did not show any reaction.
‘Shall we move to a quiet place for now?’
