Chapter 102 – Dungeons
I thought Seong-il, who was suddenly in a good mood at the unexpected point acquisition.
‘There are also free points. Shall we do some drawing after a long time? It seems like half a year has passed since I didn’t draw. The gold draw is 10,000 points, so it’s still too much, but the silver draw is about 1,000 points, so I think I’ll use about 5 cards…?’
Thinking so, Seong-il remembered the 『Sick Club』 He had used after subduing Euphthesia a while ago.
‘It was really a harpoon to wear… But it just sticks to my hand..!! Even if I could pick up one or two more of those things, I’d be able to break even..’
Seong-il, who was so greedy, decided to do a game master drawing for the first time in a while, and started drawing by opening the drawing system.
‘Gazuaaa!!!!!!’
Seong-il fiddling with the silver lottery ticket with shaking hands. I thought as I took a deep breath.
‘This is not something you do without thinking! I’m doing this because the “Game Master” Recently recommended me to find a way to become stronger with points!! Purchase items to secure specimens! Perfect!! That’s why!!’
After brainwashing himself for a long time, Seong-il shook his hands and pressed the bloody silver grade draw button.
“Exactly…! Exactly…! Let’s spend only 5,000 points…! Only 5 silver level lottery tickets…!”
Thinking so, Seong-il clicked Game Master, entered 5,000 points, and pressed Draw.
– Purification Potion (can be used once): All poisoning/curse conditions can be removed. 『Drink on people, sprinkle on items!!』
“Ooh… Poisoning and Cursing status cancellation… This can be used quite well depending on the situation. Seeing that it can be used for items, it might be useful for cursed items…?”
– Order of Silver Level Copy (can be used once): If you tear the order book and recall the item, the item possessed by the in-game NPC will be copied.
※ Caution ※
– Excluding customs duties.
– You must have seen the copy target item with your own eyes.
– There is a possibility of failure when copying an item that is too powerful.
– Can only be used in game worlds below grade B.
‘Crazy…! Copying an item?! This is an open scam..! It’s a pity that it can be used in a B-grade game and that there is a risk if you use it when copying an item that is too fraudulent… But it can’t be denied that it’s a ridiculous level item…! Awesome…!! Where can I use this to be effective? There are so many places to use, it’s embarrassing…’
Seong-il, who picked a ridiculous fraudulent item from the draw. He felt his heart race at the appearance of such an item, took a deep breath, calmed down, and checked the next item.
– Fluffy Paint (Can be used 5 times): For unknown reasons, when this paint is applied to a wall, the wall turns into paper. (Up to 3M in thickness)
‘Hmm… It seems good, but something is ambiguous. Still, it seems like an item with plenty of places to use. Seems okay…? Once it’s a draw item, it’s good to keep it in your inventory, so you can use it as much as you like even in a crisis situation. It’s okay…’
– We’re going to be rich!! : A card depicting an exciting archaeologist. Carrying it in your wallet will increase your point gain by 10%. (In case of duplication, only one high item is applied)
“Wow!!!!”
Seong-il cheered once again. He looked at the item and thought.
‘You mean I can get 10% more points just by putting this card in my wallet?! Isn’t this a joke?! Even if I just ate this right away, I didn’t lose a single point that I spent!! Right now, you get 15,000 points for every B-level game main quest you clear, but if it’s 10%, you’ll eat 1,500 more per quest, and it’s a story that you can recover all the investment costs even if you clear 3 quests…? ! It’s a ridiculous fraudulent item!!!’
Seong-il, who felt his heart pounding at the second jackpot, quietly took out his wallet and put the archaeologist card in it.
And finally, the holy day to check the item.
‘Am I too much of a thief to think that I’m going to hit the jackpot again?’
Seong-il, who pulls out the last draw, calming down his pounding heart. A new item appeared before his eyes!!
– Voodoo Doctor’s Straw Doll (Can be used 5 times): After invading someone else’s dream, you control the dream of the target and create a story as you wish. (A part of the body such as the subject’s hair is required.)
“Huh?”
The first appearance of a consumable item. The problem was that the usage written in the description was very unique, so Seong-il couldn’t get his head around the item.
‘What item is it…? Even if I project the target with 『Emotion』, I don’t feel anything special…?’
Seong-il shrugged his shoulders and pondered over a strange item. He shook his head, put the item in his inventory, and thought.
‘Well… I’ll figure it out later when I can afford it…’
Seong-il, who finished the lottery jackpot like that, ended the day in a good mood.
Seong-il, who quietly spent his school life for a while. On Friday afternoon, when he was finishing up the week, he started to hear a messenger alarm ringing on his smartphone.
‘Huh…? What? Is it Junil…?’
Seong-il quietly opens his phone, thinking it might be a call from his friend. I could confirm that Lee Ah-hyun’s message was floating in front of his eyes.
‘Huh? Ahyeon Lee…? Is it about dungeon exploration…?’
Although it is an official contact, Seong-il felt his heart pounding when he was contacted by one of the most beautiful women in the department.
‘This is a woman of a style I’ve never met before…’
Beagle-like Charlotte, Cat-like Euphthesia, Seductive Illina, Glamorous Erica, and Lee Ah-hyun’s style are completely different from those of Yunas.
‘Is it the same feeling as Eun-wol, who kept her mouth shut? Of course, when Eun-wol opens her mouth, she is a baby close to Charlotte…’
After thinking about useless things for a while, Seong-il calmly checked the message.
“Hi. Since the recruitment of dungeon party members has been finalized today, we’d like to have a meeting around 2:00 PM on Saturday. I hope you will attend. The sudden invitation may feel cumbersome, but please attend as it is a necessary meeting for the first exploration next week.”
‘Oh… Have you already gathered all the team members…? It’s fast…’
After all, Seong-il felt that the best prospect in the department was different. He calmly sent a positive answer to Lee Ah-hyun.
『Of course, I will attend tomorrow right now, I would appreciate it if you could tell me the location.』
“Thank you. The place is near the school…』
After a short conversation with Lee Ah-hyun, Seong-il shrugged her shoulders lightly and ended the day practicing martial arts.
Appointment time the next day.
“Haam…”
‘Um… Am I the only one here yet?’
Seong-il, idly sitting in the corner of a cafe, sipping coffee.
Widely!
‘Huh…?’
Confused by the sound of something being put down in front of his table, Seong-il looked up and looked at him.
And standing in front of him, a man with a pleasant personality wearing glasses.
“Uh… Hello…?”
“Uh! Hi! Are you Han Seong-il? The Revenge Awakener that became a hot topic this time.”
“Yes? Yes… That’s right, but who are you…?”
He replied with a slightly awkward smile at Sungil’s words.
“Ah… Oops, he didn’t even introduce himself and pretended to know himself. I’m called Cho Seung-jin. I’m a sophomore. His position is a dealer. His main ability is Elemental System Control.”
“Ah…! Hello senior…!”
Seung-il waved his hand at Seong-il’s words and continued with a friendly smile.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. No need to be polite! We’re going to form a team for the time being, so feel free to call me hyung. I’m hyung.”
“Yeah… Brother.”
“Yeah…! By the way, it looks like there are only three of them yet?”
“…Three?”
Seong-il thought that there was only himself and the promotion, but he was puzzled by the word three out of the blue. Suddenly, a woman’s voice came out from behind him.
“I see? It seems like we’re the only ones yet?”
Seong-il naturally turns his head back to check it out. In front of him, he saw an ordinary, slightly familiar woman with a moderately plump and slightly cute style.
“Uh… Where did you see it…?”
I’m sure I’m familiar, but I can’t remember the name, so I stuttered to myself. The woman replied to him with a slightly sad expression toward him.
“Hey…! It’s a department with 200 students per grade, but it’s still a classmate… Even if you don’t know the name, shouldn’t you know the face..?”
“Ah…! Mi.. Sorry!”
“Haa… I know you’re a sucker, so that’s okay. First year Yuju Oh.”
“Ah… That’s right.”
She said that she was familiar somewhere, but Seong-il realized that she was her own motive. Oh Yu-ju continued to explain to him.
“First of all, I’m a space-time supporter. I have a special ability to make the time in a certain space flow slightly slower or faster. If it’s a very short time, I can turn back time for about 5 minutes and heal wounds…”
“Oh…!”
Seong-il exclaims in exclamation at the appearance of a powerful person who looks powerful just by listening to it. Towards such a holy day, Seungjin continued speaking in a playful voice.
“By the way, Yuju is my girlfriend, so don’t look over her?”
Having said that, her promotion beckoned her to sit next to her own. When she saw him like that, she smiled bitterly and thought of her name.
‘Well… It’s not that I’m ugly, but I’m not very beautiful, and it’s not my style. Don’t worry…?’
Seong-il met a lot of amazing beauties while traveling around the game master world. Since his eyes had already risen as high as ever, Seong-il couldn’t even notice Oh Yu-joo’s appearance.
“Don’t worry. I’m the type who doesn’t even look at couples… Haha…”
“Oh~ I’ve got some attention~”
Having said that, Seungjin hugged Yuju, who was sitting next to him, and began to tease him.
‘Solo(?) In front of you, you say shit…’
Lee Ah-hyun, who had been waiting, appeared in front of Seong-il, who was quietly sipping coffee while watching the two of them.
“You all came early. I’m sorry I called and came late.”
At her words, Seungcheol waved his hand with a friendly smile.
“No~ Ahyeon-ah. You would have done a lot of work instead of us, organizing the party and coordinating various issues, but I can do as much as I like by waiting. By the way, the rest of the team…?”
Lee Ah-hyun replied with a bitter expression at his words.
“Huh… Originally, I was going to get one more party member in the form of a sub-dealer + supporter, but that motive suddenly said that he would withdraw from joining the party this morning.”
“…What?”
Oh Yu-joo sounds annoyed at her words. Seong-il nodded in sympathy with her legitimate irritation.
“Aren’t you crazy? You said you’d give a no-show the same day? You’re on a mission in three days right now? What kind of guy is he? What the hell…?”
At Seong-il’s words, Lee Ah-hyun answered with a bitter smile.
“Hu… I’m sorry. That friend apologized too. He wanted to come to our team too, but one of his classmates said he couldn’t come, crying as if he was scared because he insisted on claiming the spot as his.”
‘If you listen to what he says, he looks like Hyunwoo Choi… No matter how much he likes women, that’s the case. Aren’t you crossing the line?’
Even if you listened roughly, you could guess what the situation was like. Then he let out a sigh and answered her.
“Haa… I can understand what’s going on just by listening to it. Then what are you going to do with the other one…?”
In response to his question, Lee Ah-hyun looked at the other three and continued.
“Since it happened like this, I wonder how it would be to form a party with just the four of us.”
“What…? Is that possible?!”
At Seong-il’s embarrassed voice, Lee Ah-hyun nodded and continued to explain.
“Anyway, you can only have a party of 5 people up to level 8, and dungeons that are level 7 or higher, starting from the 3rd year, can be entered by up to 4 people, so there is no problem. It’s harder, so I think it’s right.”
“…Are you okay?”
“Of course. To be honest, even if there are only Yuju and the three promoted seniors in front of me, it is possible to clear the level 9 dungeon. Besides, I am a multi-talented person, so I can play the role of 1.5 people.”
“Hmm…”
“And Seong-il, if you experience dungeon exploration only 3 or 4 times, I think you are enough to do your part, so I don’t worry too much.”
“Is it…?”
Oh Yu-ju intervened in the conversation between the two and asked Lee Ah-hyun.
“Then, are you planning on continuing as a party of 4? Without reinforcements?”
