Chapter 131 [Episode 67] Departure! 2
If Sang Hyuk had been a regular user, he would have been gawking at the items in the store, but because this was the store that Sang Hyuk had already been to several times in his previous life, ‘only to look around’ so he omitted the window-shopping and immediately called the search box.
Right after the transparent search window appeared, Sang Hyuk directly entered the name of several items at once and clicked on the “search” button.
[Unique] Ogre Power Gauntlet (OPG) – 9,000 points.
[Unique] Crimson Blade? 11,000 points.
[Unique] Five-colored Ring ? 8,900 points.
•••••
•••••
Sang Hyuk continued to search and looked a bit bitter.
It was because the items he wanted to have so much in his past life were confirmed to be items that weren’t good enough to call ‘rubbish’ by his current standard.
“Darn those were the things I wanted to have at that time…..”
In his previous life, Sang Hyuk felt unfair that he did not participate in the event. At that time, Sang Hyuk used to come to this 1st level reward shop a few times and looked at the items with a deep sigh while he had no points but now, it was not really a big deal.
“The life that I live again… this kind of thing is really good.”
Sang Hyuk laughed lightly and removed all floating windows except for the default search box.
“Let’s look again for items that match to 440,000 points.”
Since the direction his life took between the present and the past was completely different, so it was a mistake to try to have the items he wanted in his past life now.
Sang Hyuk opened the search options and set the minimum criterion to 100,000 points.
In Sang Hyuk’s previous life, points were estimated to be around 40,000 points for a user who was known to have ranked first in the official points ranking.
Some said they earned about 60,000 points and others said they got 20,000 points…. After listened to some stories, it was most likely around 40,000 points.
So no one in the past had ever won more than 50,000 points.
But Sang Hyuk set the minimum threshold at 100,000 points in the search options. This was a search option that is only available to users with 440,000 points.
When the lowest price was set at 100,000 points, approximately 40 items were displayed in the search box.
Of course, all of them were legendary items or above.
Surprisingly, there were four mythical items.
But there was one item that especially attracted his eyes.
[Mythical Grade] Blood Wire of the Full Moon – 420,000 points.
The item that can costs the second most points among the four mythical items.
The big reason for Sang Hyuk’s attention was because of the word ‘wire’.
Sang Hyuk just clicked it for now to check the detail informations.
Blood Wire of the Full Moon [God]
– You can draw on all the energy of the moon and wield the thin wire made of blood through that energy. This wire will never break, and it can also steal away the health of your enemies.
[Basic Ability] ATK 700, All abilities +100
[Special Ability] All abilities +50, movement speed increased by 100%.
[Characteristic Ability] Health Extortion (S+) ? 10% of the damage inflicted on a foe is transformed and converted to the wielder’s health.
[Special Effects] <Burning Blood (SS): Burn the blood and raise all abilities by 30%. However, once it is activated, health is consumed by 1% for every second.>. <Blood Weapon(A): You can transform the Blood Wire into various shape.>, <Undestroyable(S): It cannot be broken nor destroyed.>, <Moon’s Energy (S): When the moon is in the sky, the attack power increases by 10%.>
[Item Skill] <Blood Seal (S+): Blood Wire can be used to bind the target. The tied target is completely locked in stasis and isolated from the world for 10 seconds and can neither deal damage, or receive damage. However, a hostile target with a higher level than the wielder can resist Blood Seal. Cooldown 7 minutes.>
[Uniqueness] Since the wire is made by drawing your own blood, so everytime you extrude ‘1 meter’ of blood wire, your health is reduced by ‘1%’. Every time your health is reduced, the same amount of critical probability and damage increase. However, additional critical probability and damage is limited to 50%.
※ The item will belong to you at the time of purchase.
Terrific attack and options…..
The Characteristic Ability that only attaches to the mythological grade items was also enormous, and the introduction of the four abilities as the Special Effects was the icing on the cake.
And the item skill is really a exceptional skill that he can use in various ways.
He was able to use it freely, anywhere, anytime because he had to draw his own blood and turn it into wire. Though it was a disadvantage because he lost health whenever he used it, there was no problem because the chance of critical strike and the attack power was raised by his lost health.
“This is it. This one…..”
Sang Hyuk, who was blankly checking the details, nodded his head and muttered.
Now this was the basic information.
If Sang Hyuk bought this, the probability of any plus+ attached here was very high.
If it was his first time to acquire a mythical item, then minimum double plus seemed to be attached. Is that all? It even seemed possible to get a legendary title.
Even if he used a calculator, he could not buy anything better than this.
The most expensive item among the four mythological items in this store was ‘Tears of the Dragon God’ that can be purchased with 510,000 points.
However, Sang Hyuk was not interested because he did not have 510,000 points anyway.
Of course, he can also take part in other events later to collect more official points,but based on Sang Hyuk’s memories, there were not many events to get additional official points.
Even if it’s just an upcoming event, it seemed to occur after at least half a year in the future. Considering that time flows quickly, it was still half a year.
“Moreover, Tears of the Dragon God is a necklace… Because of Blink, I don’t want to change my necklace.”
Sang Hyuk has already checked the detail information of the Tears of Dragon God. Tears of Dragon God was definitely a great item worthy of 510,000 points. But the Blood Wire of the Full Moon was several times better for Sang Hyuk.
There was no reason to hesitate.
Sang Hyuk shouted refreshingly.
“Even if it doesn’t work, go!”
When Sang Hyuk made the purchase, 420,000 points out of 444,000 points disappeared and the item penetrated into Sang Hyuk’s body. All the items purchased in the first level reward store were attached items, so they were equipped at the same time as purchasing. Of course, the Ten Millennia Goldbone Whip, which had been registered as a main weapon so far, was automatically unequipped.
If Sang Hyuk wanted to use the Ten Millennia Goldbone Whip later, he can unequip the Blood Wire of the Full Moon imprinted on his body.
You have earned the Blood Wire of the Full Moon, a mythical rank item, using 420,000 official points
You became the owner of the first mythical rank item. There are no words for this tremendous achievement.
You’ve gained the legendary title ‘God Master’.
The legendary title was given as a reward as expected.
When he bought this, he had 20,000 official points remaining, but he left for now without using it. He thought he would use it if he needed something later.
Out of the store, Sang Hyuk quickly checked the plus numbers on the Blood Wire of the Full Moon.
And he cheered.
“Great!”
There were three pluses attached. This makes the Blood Wire of the Full Moon a real cheat item.
After shopping and leaving the shop, Sang Hyuk waited for Gye Baek and Dark Knight to have a cup of coffee. Anyway, they also had to take some time before coming to get into the first level reward shop.
Approximately an hour later, Gye Baek and Dark Knight reached Sang Hyuk.
The three people, who gathered after a long time, greeted each other with a welcoming expression and began to talk.
“So, the two of you kept in touch?”
Sang Hyuk, who listened to Gye Baek’s story, nodded and asked once again.
“We didn’t talk much, we just went hunting together. It is hard for outcasts to join a party, like you and like us, because we are strong. So, the outcasts should be with each other.”
Gye Baek replied, and Dark Knight nodded as if sympathetic to his words.
“You didn’t call me.”
“Whatever, you said that we would hunt together if I contacted you. You had business to do the last time I called you so you refused me twice. Because I am not Liu Bei, I can not keep on trying patiently. ***
“Ah…. Did I?”
Sang Hyuk laughed at Gye Baek’s words with sorry expression. In fact, sang Hyuk did not remember that he had refused twice until Gye Baek had spoken.
He used to have a lot of misunderstandings because of his nature that did not care when something like this happened.
“Because we understand that the Immortal also had his reasons, you don’t have to be sorry.”
Fortunately, Gye Baek was not easily offended by something like this.
“By the way, did you use the official points?”
“Ah! Right. I came here to talk about it…. Thank you so much. Thanks to you, he and I got daebak (a big hit).”
“Huh? Daebak? What do you mean?”
“You don’t know how much official points we earned, right? I got the second place in the official points ranking and Aspice got the third place. I got 25,000 points and Aspice got 22,000 points.”
It was a small number compared to the 440,000 points that Sang Hyuk received, but if it was compared to the normal users, it was a huge number.
Compared to the user who ranked fourth in the rankings who only earned about 8,000 points, they could see how big of a windfall they got.
Especially, the two had not been able to properly participate in Krakon’s hunting because of Sang Hyuk’s personal request to hunt the malefactors.
Nevertheless, because they were in a party with Sang Hyuk they were ranked 2nd and 3rd in the ranking with only a few fallen crumbs going to others who ranked below.
So Gye Baek and Dark Knight could not help but be thankful to Sang Hyuk.
“It’s me who got the help. Thanks to you and Aspice, you surely beat the rats…. so, no need to be thankful for the mutual aid.”
“Still, thankful is thankful.”
[I also want to thank you.]
Aspice, who was quiet, also type-talked a message and bowed his head lightly.
“Because I got more, please stop saying thank you.”
Sang Hyuk did not say that he got 440,000 points. Even if he can trust Gye Baek and Dark Knight, it was better not to talk about this.
“All right. Let’s stop being thankful. Ah, did you go to the reward shop? It was enormous as announced.”
“I also just came back from looking around.”
[I’ve been in too.]
“There is one item I saw there…..”
Today too, the conversation of the three people was led by Gye Baek. And today also, the atmosphere was cheerful.
* * * *
Sang Hyuk, who spoke for almost two hours with both of them and separated, went straight to a place with no trace of human and immediately opened the Spirit Virtual Space.
“Minimum number of passengers is 2…. Recommended number of passenger is 4…. This is my last homework to solve.”
The ‘Open Sky Ceremony’ is already over and the Skyway is opened.
And all the users were running around to get more information.
However, because Sang Hyuk was the one who knew the answer before the problem came out, so he was going to skip the whole process and launch his Sky-grade ship.
Sky-grade Ship ‘Ink Black Dragon’ summoned! ***
Sang Hyuk called Ink Black Dragon shortly after confirming no one was around. Then a large Summoning Gate was created in front of his eyes.
Gugugugugung!
Ink-Black Dragon, which slowly began to appear in Spirit Virtual Space.
Sky-grade Ship can fly anywhere on the Skyway. Just build a Sky-grade Ship, summon it, and then mount the Magic Armor on the Sky-grade Ship and you can fly into the sky.
“Ilya.”
Sang Hyuk lightly called Ilya while Ink-Black Dragon was summoned.
Sssssttt.
Then a black shadow popped out next to Sang Hyuk.
The reason for summoning Ilya was simple. He could not get Ink-Black Dragon into the sky alone because the minimum number of passengers is two people.
So he needed help from Ilya.
“Will it not work this time as well?”
Sang Hyuk is nervous because of what happened with Ilya at Dark Moon Shrine Raid last time.
“If she cannot do it, let’s think about other ways.”
Sang Hyuk was going to float the ship first then find out the exact problem.
Of course, he did not want to go up to Skyway and advance to Middle Layer in this way.
Today, he just wanted to test-fly it for now and after solving the last homework and after finishing all the tasks and preparation in Hagye, then go to the Middle Layer.
Khukhukhukhung.
While Sang Hyuk was thinking that, the Ink-Black Dragon has completely summoned.
“Ilya, let’s go!”
“Yes!”
Sang Hyuk took Ilya and got on the Ink-Black Dragon.
It was the first departure of the Ink-Black Dragon.
Chapter 131 [Episode 67] Departure! 2 – End
Editor’s Notes: Liu Bei is in the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” as a paragon of wise benevolence. So Gye Baek was saying he’s just not that patient. If you want more information on Liu Bei, Wikipedia is your friend. 😀
Editor’s Notes: I’ve received requests to change “Ink Black Dragon” into something cooler. However, we can’t do that. According to the translator,
“but the meaning literally is made of two words…mook (the black ink stick that usually used in calligraphy) and ryong (means dragon)”
So, you can blame the author. 😀 (or blame Sang Hyuk’s terrible naming sense. 😛 )
