Episode 22. New update
110 billion won.
No matter how many times I counted, I was sure.
The number of those astronomical units.
If you apply for a deposit, the money will be deposited into your account.
…For the first time in my life, I am afraid of money.
110 billion.
That’s how many times you have to win the lottery!
But what’s scarier than that.
That astronomical amount of compensation.
It was my appearance that I took for granted.
A salary that was not bad for living alone.
Even so, the past shed bloody tears for various living expenses.
The hot and cold days when I was obsessed with the operating time of the air conditioner and boiler.
Let’s imagine that I was given 110 billion won at that time.
One thing is certain: insomnia is confirmed.
Maybe there are burglars in your house every night. I wonder if the colleague and the manager noticed after suddenly hitting the company. What if the bank teller steals it?
I must have been awake at night with useless worries.
In that sense, it was fortunate.
『He was born as an heir to a great family and tasted the end of affluence.』
This extraordinary sense of money.
Could it be because of that setting?
Instead of going white, my head started spinning faster.
“The most urgent thing is arming.”
yeah it’s not urgent
From level 55 to level 134.
Most of all, because the level has risen rapidly.
Currently, the equipment items I use are honestly one level of mana.
It is said that it is no different from wearing a long coat in front of a high-level monster.
‘I need to use my brain well…’
But that was the problem.
Let’s say you hit the item according to the rapidly rising level.
What should I do next level up?
Of course, there is no guarantee that you will be able to level up at such a rapid pace in the next rift.
But let’s look at it objectively.
Even if he rose, he was only level 134.
At my level, I could level up just by killing a low-class demon-type monster, an imp.
‘Is it a good thing to get an item that fits the current level?’
As little as tens of millions of won and as many as hundreds of millions of won?
Absolutely not.
Then the question naturally follows.
So you’re saying you won’t match the items?
You don’t know when you’ll have to risk your life again to enter the rift?
no, that’s absolutely not the case either.
I mean, I have thoughts too.
‘Items whose effects are more real than specifications.’
Why rather than absolute stats like attack or defense?
Items that have a high value thanks to their effect.
‘Because there are items that have good effects regardless of the level limit.’
At this point, what I needed was an item like that.
Among them.
‘Even with a little bit of magic regeneration…’
Items related to magic regeneration!
I realized the importance of magical power in the Asscura Count Rift this time.
Excluding the moment when it was a crisis due to magical exhaustion, there were several times when it was regrettable because of the lack of magical power.
In that sense, if you can supplement your magic regeneration…
‘Maybe I can survive somehow.’
That is, until they hit a plausible high-level equipment item.
Of course it will be expensive…?
The days when Arcana was just a game.
Wizard-type classes were treated as nobles.
Even if it’s the second best thing.
Fundamentally, the amount invested in nurturing as well as the excellent performance was not easy.
What was essential for such wizards was an item related to magic regeneration.
Now that Arcana has become a reality.
Its value would have risen even more.
…The real billion sound may come out dozens of times.
Billions of dollars for one item!
To think that I would be the one buying those items rather than selling them.
It was something I couldn’t even imagine.
There was no agitation in my feelings.
seated in front of the table.
An upright posture with the back rested to the fullest.
Even a teacup that I occasionally tilt leisurely.
Even if you say billions or more items.
It must mean that you can’t shake Grandfel’s heart.
Whether you get 110 billion won.
whether the whole world is focused on me
There is no need to worry more than that.
Crunchy square ─
A4 paper filled in again.
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat) ▲
Running 20KM (In progress)
Push-ups 1000 times (Success)
Chin-ups 500 times (In progress)
Burpee test 300 times (Success)
The same repeated quest.
His usual behavior would be proof of that.
My Way is really awful.
I had a sudden thought.
…I was really like this when I was in 2nd grade?
But that thought was soon abandoned.
Today’s shame is overflowing with the fact that the black history was revealed in front of the one and only nephew Arang.

Sometimes there are things that are more valuable because they are not revealed.
“What is that identity?”
Ho-yeol’s current situation was exactly that.
Reid, Earl of Askura with Jesse Heinness.
However, the truth of the incident has not been clearly revealed.
Hoyeol and Jesse.
It was because the parties kept their mouths shut as if they had promised.
“Let’s watch the video first.”
Cuckoo!
From the stone pillars rising from the floor.
Even the moving stone statue that collapses in front of Ho-yeol.
The true identity of such passion.
At least not one of them opened their eyes to find out what class they were.
But what the heck, it has to make sense.
The more I looked into the video, the more mystified the feeling of Ho-yeol grew.
“First of all, alchemy is certain.”
“Alchemy?”
“yes. If you zoom in here… you can see it clearly, right? Exactly how the remains of the ruins turn into stone pillars. This is alchemy without fail… But what makes no sense is how extreme the amount of magic power consumed in alchemy is… how high the magic power is…” ”
Hey expert?”
Former Arcana executives.
It wasn’t much different from AAU.
AAU Korean branch.
Lately, Seong Hyun-joon felt like a scab would sit on his ear. He said to his senior
,
sitting in front of the desk in the office.
“Sir, I really want to die.”
“Why again?”
“Wherever you go, Lee Ho-yeol. Lee Ho-yeol. It’s just a fuss…!”
Friends, cousins, even fathers and mothers.
Inquiries about Lee Ho-yeol just flooded in.
could understand
How long ago is this a star player?
Since Gaon’s Nam Tae-min, there has been no other player in Korea who has shown such an active performance.
Why do people talk about it for a while after winning a medal at the Olympics?
Because Ho-yeol was not a medal, but a real hero who dealt with the cataclysm of the collapsed rift.
“I can’t help it. When I get off work, the kids go crazy. Dad, just tell me a little bit about yourself. You go to school and don’t tell them anything.”
“That’s going crazy.”
“therefore. I’ll tell you what I need to know!”
The two looked at Ho-yeol in the monitor at the same time.
What do you mean?
what is this skill?
What else did you defeat Count Ascura?!
Even those who were operators of Arcana in the past couldn’t guess Ho-yeol’s level or class.
Seong Hyun-jun shook his head.
“The bigger problem is that I think I will be tired in the future.”
Would you like a kind answer?
After all, the culprit was Ho-yeol’s interview.
That harsh interview that is gathering a lot of attention as much as Ho-yeol’s performance. –
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha concept
Just overflowing with confidence
– It’s not a crack, it’s like someone from a runway
– No, that’s a concept? Do you think it makes sense to be able to do a concept in front of the rankers gathered there?? That’s steamed
“It’s the same with us that we’re dying of curiosity. I can’t honestly say this…”
From the days when he was the operator of Arcana.
So far, an employee of AAU.
Their essential virtue was secrecy.
Pretending not to know, Pretending to know even if you do not know
As the saying goes, if you stay still, you will go even half way.
It was to avoid confusing society with unnecessary words and actions.
fortunately that
“It’s the first time I’ve been looking forward to that Thursday.”
Today is Thursday.
There might be a new update.
If the new update details are released, wouldn’t interest in Ho-yeol decrease a bit?
Wouldn’t that protect my hearing as well?
Seong Hyeon-jun had no choice but to look forward to it.
“Float. float…!”
Could it be because of that earnest prayer?
A new update has been announced on the Arcana website.
“It’s up!”
AAU staff members check the update history in perfect order at the sound.
Seong Hyeon-jun also checked the details and let out a sigh of relief.
‘…I shouldn’t be happy, but I have to live too!’
Cracks are always a ticking time bomb.
However, the existence of Ho-yeol appeared out of nowhere.
It was a disaster for his hearing and mental health.
Dreuk—
Seong Hyeon-jun grinned as he turned the mouse wheel.
It was long.
Not the update history with only cracks.
It was an update full of substance.
‘At this scale of update…’
Wouldn’t interest in Ho-yeol fade a bit?
Seong Hyun-jun thought so.
Unfortunately, that was just an illusion.
same time.
Players also confirmed the new update history.
“Wait a minute. is it real? Did this really happen?!”
“…If this is the case, we will have no choice but to meet again, right?”
“Really, just wait until this update.”
“Miss Ha. Only one competitor has increased.”
competitor.
Of course, it was a story about Ho-yeol.
Yes, this update is a massive update.
No, for those who have played Arcana in the past, it was obvious that it was an update that would make them excited just by checking the details.
『A new area is coming to your side.
A new area, ‘Yusura Islands’ will be added…]
Yusura Islands!
That was when Arcana was a game.
It was a rumored island that had spread to Arcana.
Quest treasure maps and even NPCs.
It was because he had referred to the Yusra Islands as ‘Treasure Island’.
Did you say that everything born and raised there is a treasure level that is incomparably superior to that of the world?
So the players who obtained that information searched all over the continent to find the treasure island.
However, the Yusra Islands were not discovered until the Arcana became a reality.
So I thought it was just a fantasy island that comes down like a legend…
“Is it a bottle or a medicine?”
After Count Ascura.
The Yusra system was updated.
“All monsters will gather. really.”
Could high-level players, including rankers, leave such a treasure island unattended?
Among them, the one that stood out the most recently was none other than Hoyeol.
So, it was said that interest in Ho-yeol grew as it grew, but it could never fade away.
“This time with real formality…!”
whether that’s in a good way.
“One shame is enough for a great nation to unify the world.”
Either in a bad sense.
Yusra Islands.
Ho-yeol receives as much attention as that treasure island.
However, it seemed like nothing was wrong with that interest.
The heat was the same as always.
Yusra Islands.
Even at the moment of checking that update history.
“…”
There was no change in that arrogant expression.
.
.
.
Yusra Islands?
What else is this?
I tilted my mug while checking the update history.
‘I’ve been feeling it lately…’
The 10-year hiatus was certainly serious.
Why was it like that until recently? As if he didn’t recognize
the cone hat…
no, Jesse Heinness.
The [Demonic Punishment] that reduced Count Ascura to ashes.
I saw the power of that skill and thought it was amazing.
To think that she was the 4th ranked player.
‘I tell that person to be polite…’
Having manners is the basics of a person.
It was a random sermon.
That wasn’t enough, so in the end, I received a very polite self-introduction
.
I said shamelessly.
“A new car isn’t bad either.”
I bet you do.
It’s a green tea bag that costs 200 won each!
…done.
Let’s stop thinking.
After all, this personality didn’t change just because I was worried about it.
Even if you said you found out that Jesse is a ranker.
My attitude towards her was not going to change.
Of course, you can be carefree by looking at the update history.
It wasn’t just because of his personality.
10 year gap?
That’s what civilization is all about.
That said, you can overcome it with an internet search.
‘Yusura Jedora.’
in terms of its quantity.
The core of this update was clear.
Immediately open a green window and enter the search box….
“?”
The moment I tried to type Yusura Islands.
I hesitated.
Update history at the end.
“…this is?”
It was because a single sentence caught my attention.
