Return of the Archmage

Chapter 40

Lee Hye-sung and Han Seo-young, who carried Han Tae-sung on their back to Gangneung, headed to the sea, leaving them in their rooms.

"As expected, the sea is wonderful. It's so refreshing."

"It's been a really long time for me, too. I love it."

There is also a sea in the fantasy dimension.

But I've never been relaxed enough to see the sea.

Maybe that's why. Even though I'm not emotional enough to be romantic about this, I can't help but feel good when I see the wide ocean.

What should I say?

"It would be fun to run around up there."

“…….”

"I'd like a crack break and some underwater monsters to show up. Eating fresh raw fish sounds good, too.”

I sometimes imagine that.

What about underwater monsters because pigs in cracks are also eaten because they are more delicious than pigs on Earth!

I think it'll melt in your mouth if you put sashimi on it.

"If you're bored, you'll get cracks in the ocean, so go see it. I heard there's a high probability of underwater maps."

"I should."

"…Seriously?"

"Yes."

The joke that I gave to Lee Hye-sung, who was so into romance, came back from the bottom of my heart.

Even if you say so, the cracks in the sea are actually quite troublesome for humans to deal with.

If you leave it as it is, the brakes can happen, and if you take care of it, it's hard to enter because it's a crack in the water.

Of course, it is underwater for users who transcend human beings and do not sleep and argue, but in the end, the human body, which is adapted to the air, is disadvantageous underwater.

As a result, fewer people are willing to enter the cracks that catch the underwater map with a high probability.

He laughed and stopped joking while looking at Han Seo-young shaking her head.

I can't waste time on something more interesting than watching the sea.

"Get rid of your useless romance and tell me now. Achievement store."

"Oh, it's just no different. Likewise, you just have to think of the willingness to enter the achievement store and recite the command."

I know that much.

What Lee Hye-sung wants to ask is how to classify various categories of achievement stores that can be bought through achievement scores.

But as soon as I opened the store, I realized that I didn't have to ask questions.

"A lot."

A holographic store tab.

A number of categories stand out.

Weapons, armor, jewelry.

From the most basic things to the ones you can only buy with your achievement score.

"Characteristics."

Other things can be obtained in different ways anyway.

But that's not the case with characteristics.

Even basic characteristics must be purchased through performance scores.

Therefore, users sometimes refer to achievement stores as characteristic stores.

[Properties]

▶ Patience (F): 10 P

▶ Container (F): 10 P

▶ Strength (A): 1,000 P

"Well."

The available properties listed.

There are hundreds and thousands more.

The price is as I've already heard.

▶ Burning (S): 15,000 P

If it is transferred to S-level, it will become more expensive than you can ever dream of.

▶ One more time! (SS): 100,000 P

Not to mention the SS level.

I feel like I'm losing my appetite.

The score of his achievements so far is 3,254.

I collected a lot, but it's not enough.

Suddenly, I got curious.

"How many users do you have in class S?”

"I don't know exactly. There's no specific user, and in a way, the characteristic of the user is the characteristic of that user. If you have to peel it, no one can peel it to the stats. Of course, we can infer from the characteristics of fighting."

"No user with S-level characteristics has been disclosed?"

"No, not without it. You know, there's someone that pops into your head.”

It collects more than 10,000 points of achievement.

Even Lee has collected only 3,000 points in two months, which will take at least a few years.

If that's a possible user and someone who can disclose it at the same time.

"Kang Inho?"

"Yeah, he's a fascinating man.”

It doesn't even bother me and pops out right away.

And soon I'm convinced.

He's definitely possible.

If you focus on your achievements, at least half a year or a year at the longest.

Furthermore, the higher the level of cracking, the more advantageous it is to earn more performance points.

"So what is it? Characteristics of Kang In-ho."

"It's famous. It's almost as good as SS. It's a characteristic of not falling. Take a look."

I'm curious with conviction.

Kang In Ho. The world's No. 1.

He, full of pride, couldn't have any characteristics.

It's harder to get a score than to get a star in the sky. However, revealing it to others means that it is differentiated among S-levels.

It quickly passes over a number of characteristics.

Search by will within a short time.

▶ Does not fall (S): 56,000 P

"I guess it wasn't just labor."

It wasn't difficult to confirm.

It is located at the very end of the S-level characteristics, where you can see the SS-level characteristics of 100,000 points if you lower it a little bit.

Click without hesitation.

Identify the characteristics.

[Can't fall down]

▶ Grade : S

▶ Effect

1. Stamina +50

2. Apply 'Strength Recovery (S)' effect at all the time

3. 'Sensitivity to pain' effect applied at all times

4. Always apply 'S' effect

"It's a characteristic that's completely self-minded.

Check and admire.

The effects on the characteristics look good even if you don't have to look at them.

I'm sure they're passive enough to help you hunt longer.

It is also a necessary complement for Kang In-ho, who is full of swordsmanship that layers cracks alone.

It is an understanding of characteristics that are perfect enough to be acknowledged.

He could have taken the characteristics of his strengths.

If he had taken similar S-level characteristics towards the attack.

"I don't think a level 8 crack is impossible."

Although it was hard to achieve a solo player's achievement as perfect as it is now.

Of course, there is no reason that the parties cannot think of what Lee Hye-sung is thinking.

"Friend! I'm here!"

What made him give up the opportunity to go higher and choose to become a solo player?

Just as I wanted to ask, I heard a welcome voice calling Lee Hye-sung.

***

"Huh? How did you get here?”

When Han Seo-young was surprised and asked, Kang In-ho shrugged.

"The world's No. 1 intelligence? Haha!"

"I told her. Because you're coming."

"Oh, my friend. What's there to spoil the mood?"

Kang In-ho sits on a mat with Lee Hyun-hwa.

He smirks as he looks at her.

"Characteristics, are you curious?”

"Oh? Oh, I think I'm at a level where I can open up my characteristics. Did you happen to buy it?"

"Are you curious?"

Then he slowly scratches.

Curiosity.

Even though it already says yes on your face, there's only one reason why you ask!

"Oh, why would you ask if you knew? Are you going to tell me?”

"If you let me know first."

"Huh? Seven billion people around the world know my characteristics. Haven't you seen it yet?”

"Not that. There's one more."

"……Huh?"

He looks at Kang In-ho with sharp eyes.

He's a man who doesn't hide his feelings in the first place, but that can't be all.

When he glares as if he knows everything, he gives out a despondent smile.

"What, are you poking me? Or did you really know and ask?”

An indication of unwillingness to resist.

I'm just going to let it out.

"Actually, I'm preparing one more thing, but not yet. I don't have enough points."

"As expected."

"Eh? One more trait? Are you going to switch?”

With him, Han Seo-young asks in surprise.

Actually, it's not that surprising.

Among the rankers, two or more characteristics are obtained and the ones who change them for each crack are the number of signs.

No, rather, it's harder to find a ranker who doesn't.

However, Kang In-ho said that he poured all his achievements into one characteristic, so I didn't think that far.

How can he switch and crack when he has S-level characteristics in common sense?

As such, S-class characteristics are overwhelming enough to chew on the merits of switching.

To switch with such characteristics means to find another S-level characteristic.

However, Kang In-ho shook his head at Han Seo-young's words.

"Oh, right? Well, S-level switching. No matter how many achievements he has made...….”

"It's a secret, but I'll tell you because we're friends. You can't go anywhere and say it. In fact, I've already pierced one more feature slot and can fit two."

"…Yes?"

And I make my own bombshell remarks.

Han Seo-young covered her mouth with her two hands.

"S, Slot? That 100,000-point thing.

"Yes, so it takes a while to get another trait."

Kang Inho speaks proudly and looks at Lee Hyesung!

Lee Hye-sung was honestly a little surprised.

"Do you have a slot extension?”

"When I reach level 50, I can go up to level 2 in the achievement store, and there are a few more. Category."

"Anyway, that's 100,000 points, that's 50,000 points, that's what you're trying to buy?"

"Of course I'm going to the SS level. I think we've collected about 80,000? We just need to collect 80,000 more."

At this rate, I think he has broken all his achievements alone.

"It's safe to say I'm almost awake. Honestly, I think I posted 30% of your work on Youker. Out of 10 or more."

Nevertheless, the fact that there are still many achievements means that the scope of the system that applies to users is that great.

Lee Hye-sung changed his mind a little about characteristics and achievements.

I was just trying to think about it when I got the score of achievements after trying to get some help, but when I heard it, the characteristics account for a significant proportion.

There are a lot of frauds just one, but you can wear two or three.

"Well, now it's your friend's turn to tell us. Characteristics. Tell me. You've collected a lot of achievements, right? What did you buy? Grade S? Grade SS? Is level SS too much? It's only been two months. To be honest, that's not right? I've been selling my achievements for more than 5 years, and I've barely earned a point. Then it's so unfair.”

It tells the truth to Kang In-ho, who is obsessed with the plan, by modifying the plan in his head.

"I haven't bought it yet. I collected more than 3,200 points."

"……Huh?"

"What are the odds of winning SS with this?"

"Huh?"

"There's a high-end feature-picking here."

"Huh?"

The firm will delivered with the truth was enough to frighten Kang In-ho.

"No!"

"Hey! Are you crazy?"

"Are you crazy?"

Kang In-ho is not the only one.

Han Seo-young and Lee Hyun-hwa, who were listening next to him, also stopped them.

Of course.

"It's a draw that says A through SS. There's a probability there, too." Grade A 97%, Grade S 3%, and SS 0.00003%. You should just say it's not coming out."

It's a ridiculous gamble.

If there is a possibility, many rankers cannot collect expensive points instead of picking them and directly take advantage of their characteristics.

"Most of all, even if the S-level comes out lucky, there are so many characteristics that it might be useless.”

If the odds are high, if the prices are low, it may be worth a try.

"Let's just look at you from now on and collect points for your achievements. No, I'll let you collect up to 30,000 honey roots in a month.”

Kang In-ho actively dissuaded him.

Unexpectedly, Lee Hye-sung nodded his head.

"Really?"

"Of course. I can do it if you can strengthen it."

"Sure thing."

Then move your fingers.

"Then I'll get 30,000 anyway, so I'll pick 3,000 now. What's my luck?"
