◈ 123. [Side Story] Box Cracker (4)
What was revealed today.
It is also true that the god of drawing and I had nothing to do with each other.
“… .”
I, who had been blown to death among the mountains of crates that had exploded miserably, lay flat like a corpse.
“You pulled… This bad baby… .”
How much I put my heart into you… … Did I ever love you alone… … ?
Pretending to be the main character of a heartbreaking heartbreak alone, Booth got up. The inside is sore, but the items that came out should be cleaned up.
The result of today’s box cracker was, in a word, shit. Not a single finished product came out. Only consumables or material items came out.
‘Why did you cherish it?’
Looking at the rolling stage 4 reward boxes, I gnashed my teeth. I felt like an idiot for saving this and keeping it.
‘From now on, I’ll open the box at once, and if I collect them, I’m not a person, but a dog.’
I have a hunch that I will have to bark sooner or later, but I gathered the items on the floor of Juseom Juseom anyway.
[Rewards]
– Standard Advanced Magic Core (SR): 1
– Standard Advanced Magic Core (R): 2
– Superior Stamina Potion: 3 –
Advanced Magic Potion: 3 –
Abnormal Status Removal Potion: 2
– Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll: 1
potion on magic core. And a dungeon escape teleport scroll.
‘I think I ate one of these escape scrolls in the very beginning.’
Throwing a scroll roughly into my inventory, I pouted my lips.
The Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll is an item that allows you to exit the dungeon in an emergency.
It sounds good when you hear it, but in reality there are quite a lot of problems.
The first problem is that you have to give up all the rewards.
I guess it’s just for escape. Throw away all the rewards and run away with only your body.
Because of this, it is better not to use it unless it is extremely difficult to clear.
The second problem is that the casting time alone takes more than 10 seconds when using a scroll.
In other words, it cannot be used in an imminent crisis situation.
In the meantime, our party has been through a lot of hardships, but there’s no time to leisurely scratch this scroll.
‘I wonder if I use it when I’m lost and in distress. Anyway, there is little to write about.’
Potions and hacks, at least, should have a lot of uses.
In other words, the reward expected from box kang is not such an item. After sweeping all the items into my inventory, I let out a big sigh.
I was hoping for something that would help me with this stage… … .
‘huh?’
But wait. I feel like something is missing. I counted the items in the settlement window.
‘… There are 12 in total.’
Wasn’t it 13 boxes?
Let’s raise our heads and look around.
An SR grade reward box was placed in the corner of the bed.
“Why didn’t it open?”
Apparently they all opened at the same time. did i make a mistake?
Anyway, suddenly a spark of hope was revived. I prayed for both hands as I searched for the drawing machine again.
“Hey, you’re picking! we were good! Even if you look at the old love, give me one complete gift!”
He shouted and opened the box. Give me the real one! Please!
and.
Flash!
The purple light gushing out of the box gathered into a single shape. I gaped.
Did you really get it?!
[Gloves of Scream (SR) Lv.30]
– Classification: Auxiliary equipment
– Defense: 5-10
– Durability: 5/5
– Intelligence +5 Magic +5
– Magic critical rate increases by 1% each time an enemy is defeated consecutively increases. This effect lasts for 30 seconds.
> Set Effect: Must Scream (1/3)
– When all sets are equipped, an area-of-effect fear condition is inflicted whenever an enemy is defeated.
(Requires ‘Orb of Scream’ to activate set) < Has Jupiter (SR) >
(Requires ‘Robe of Scream’ to activate set) < Has Jupiter (SR) >
“Huh? The scream set is complete here?”
Suddenly, the screaming set was completed. I looked at the glove in my hand and furrowed my eyebrows.
No, of course it’s good that the set came out. Good.
‘Out of so many set items, only the Scream set was so lucky to come together?’
what… Did you get a probability correction? Because I ate the orb first, the others followed.
“Hmm… .”
I groaned as I glared at the item.
Something… I’m dubious.
‘… For now, let’s be thankful.’
Anyway, it is an SR grade set item. It’s also a 3-piece. It’s a performance that suits Jupiter, a wide-area mage.
In order to clear stage 5, it is a situation where you have to use all available means. I’m in no position to cover up.
‘Come to think of it, there’s also the item I ordered from the blacksmith.’
I also remembered an item I ordered a long time ago.
I made it for Jupiter, but the owner collapsed from an injury. I couldn’t get anywhere.
‘I’ll give it to you at once later.’
I took the gloves of screaming in my arms.
Will Jupiter be able to use these items properly… … with honest concerns.
***
Rest until evening.
Let’s go eat. Unsurprisingly, Evangeline didn’t come because she was sleeping. I’m going to scream that I’m hungry again in the middle of the night.
Lucas served my meal with a heavy face. Just looking at it makes you feel sick, so relax your face.
I know your heart is heavy, but my appetite is also getting heavier.
After the meal, Lucas ordered to get some rest without thinking about escorting work today (for some reason, he accepted it), and told the chef to make one serving and leave it because Evangeline would attack the kitchen in the middle of the night.
So night time.
I found Ader’s room.
“Director, player guests are welcome.”
“Oh, lord! What happened to my room… … .”
Ader, who was doing paperwork in a small room in the corner of the mansion, was taken aback when I came to him.
“I came because I have something to talk to you about.”
Come to think of it, I came to Ader’s room for the first time. I slowly looked around the room.
It was so desolate that it was hard to believe that it was a room occupied by people.
The only furniture in the achromatic room was a desk, chair and bed.
Except for the paperwork to be dealt with as an aide, not even a single book is placed, and everything is empty. It’s nice to live in a place like this.
‘huh?’
Then I found something in the corner of the desk and approached it.
‘chess?’
An old chessboard was placed there.
Black and white horses are dizzyingly playing the ground, as if they were recovering from a major country.
While I was staring at it blankly, Ader cautiously called me.
“Lord?”
“Ah yes.”
I didn’t come here to see the interior of this guy’s room. Let’s get the job done quickly.
I quickly told Ader what had happened during this free exploration.
“Selendion came to visit? directly?”
Ader seemed to be taken aback by the story that the vampire king had invaded.
“The boss monster came looking for me directly. This time, he passed without a big problem because he was the one with the screw missing, but if this happens next time, it’ll be troublesome. How are you going to explore the dungeon?”
I’ve been talking for a long time, but in the end, what I was asking for was one thing.
Reward, child. give me a reward
Sprinkle the temp!
“For the Lord of the Legion to come out of his realm and visit the player himself. It must have been an obvious rule violation in the game. But lord, this place is real.”
Ader, who was deep in thought, spoke softly.
“Monsters and humans Lake Kingdom and Empire. Most of what happens within the framework of this great country is acceptable. Doesn’t the lord know?”
“Mmm.”
yes it is
I also use a lot of tricks that would be impossible if it were a game. Something like equipping Damian with six horse guns.
However, there is no guarantee that it will not be attacked again during the next free exploration. And if you don’t, it’s game over there.
“Wait a minute, my lord.”
Ader opened the system window and quickly manipulated something.
“I added some simple features to the achievement shop. If you purchase and apply it, it will help prevent something like this.”
“Hoo.”
I also quickly turned on the system window. What.
[Welcome to the shop dedicated to achievement points!]
[You can purchase various items and abilities useful for the game with the achievement points you collect.] [
Current achievement points: 900000P]
New arrivals… Let’s see. is this
[Boss Detection Radar] < Free Exploration Only >
– Sends a warning when a boss monster is nearby.
– Price: 5000P
[Emergency Escape Bomb!] < Free Exploration Only >
– Applies forced stun to surrounding monsters and increases the movement speed of the player party by 100%.
– Price: 45000P
– When using the function, ‘Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll’ consumes 1 x
“That would be very helpful.”
Rather than systematically blocking it at all, sense it and run away. Besides, even if you run away, why run?
“Wouldn’t that be better than nothing?”
“Okay.”
It’s a level that I really want to be better than not having. that’s true I grumbled and used the points to purchase features.
The [Traitor’s Necklace] worn around the neck flashed for a moment. Looks like the function has been applied.
“And my lord. Now, this element may feel like a crisis.”
Ader raised a corner of his mouth and smiled vaguely.
“Wouldn’t you rather use this point later?”
“… .”
“The stage boss monster can come to the lord from the dungeon, on the contrary… … It means that even the lord can visit the stage boss monster in the dungeon.”
Eyes flashed open.
Wait a minute, it really is. then… .
“It’s up to the lord to use it. That is why I will not systematically block this incident.”
“… .”
“This stage will also be a series of adversity, but I believe that the lord can break through.”
Ader smiled.
For some reason, he seemed like a real director rather than an idiot.
“I wish you luck, my lord.”
***
the next day.
I visited Jupiter from the morning. Unsurprisingly, this grandmother had spread throughout the mercenary guild from the wind in the morning.
“Wake up, you golden maniac! If you recuperate in the temple, the magic runaway will heal quickly and return to the front line!”
Jupiter was embarrassed when I sought it.
“There is no answer other than time to heal the aftereffects of runaway magic, Your Highness. That’s why I’m so lazy.”
“If you can’t even say that, it’s okay even if you hate it… Okay, get ready to go!”
“yes? Where are you going, Your Highness?”
So put Jupiter on the wagon and go to the smithy.
Upon arriving at the forge, the blacksmith who had been contacted in advance was waiting.
The blacksmith took Jupiter and went inside.
“The equipment was already built and was just waiting to be measured. Once you have taken your measurements, I will adjust it to make it more comfortable for you to wear.”
“Equipment? size? Your Highness, what the hell are you talking about?”
I clicked my tongue at the bewildered Jupiter.
“Surprise, Grandma. surprise.”
after a while
Jupiter was wearing a golden breastplate and his mouth was gaping.
Boss equipment made by catching the boss monster Golden Gargoyle in the free exploration of Area 3 in the past. It was a golden armor.
[Golden Armor Dog(改)(SR) Lv.35]
– Classification: Armor
– Defense: 35-40
– Durability: 15/15
– Intelligence +10 Magic +20
– Increases the wearer’s magic resistance by 25%.
– Increases the chance of acquiring cash items by 5%.
– The wearer acquires the negative attribute [Golden Ore].
Originally, it was a physical defense-oriented equipment. Strength and stamina stat bonuses are simply attached.
However, at the end of the blacksmith’s stoppering, a bonus was added in the opposite direction of the original equipment.
At this point, you could call it a legal defense.
‘It’s a decent piece of equipment, but negative characteristics are forcibly granted.’
That, of course, is [Golden Ore] Buyeo.
That’s why it’s such a gear, but Jupiter already has a golden light.
Since the characteristic cannot be applied repeatedly, it can invalidate the negative option of the equipment.
That’s why I made it to wear Jupiter, but it’s been getting dusty since you stretched out.
Jupiter, who was drooling while looking down at the armor, hurriedly wiped his mouth and looked at me.
“this… Can I enjoy this luxury… … ?”
“Then you should enjoy it, who will enjoy it?”
Wouldn’t it be better for you alone to fuss over it than to have the whole party get caught in a golden light and turn upside down every time they look for money?
I even gave Jupiter the [Gloves of Scream] that came out earlier. Eat all the old stuff, wizard.
“… Thank you very much, Your Highness.”
Wearing a scream set and even golden armor.
The smile slowly disappeared from the lips of Jupiter, who couldn’t hide his joy and smiled.
“I am a body that cannot go to the front right now.”
Jupiter, who was watching me, asked cautiously.
“Can I give all of this equipment to my granddaughter?”
