Chapter 418 – 418. New Blood 70%

Me and Aram entered the pawnshop.

Upon entering, there was a strangely sweet smell of chocolate along with the smell of burnt cigarettes that seemed to permeate the entire store, and that unpleasant smell of chemicals peculiar to old plastic.

The subtle scents that didn’t go well with each other made the atmosphere of the space heavy. Moreover, the inorganic and somewhat dark white lighting and dirty tiled interior awakened the desolateness.

Overall, it looked like a space where a screw was missing somewhere.

It feels like a dark back alley left unnoticed in a corner of a bright downtown. An atmosphere where something might happen, something dangerous.

It’s strangely different from the black market where there was openly taste. It’s a more modern and creepy feeling.

“Is that the god’s idol?”

“Right.”

Even on the shelves, items that were difficult to obtain in any other way were displayed haphazardly. For example, the idols of gods that can only be possessed by one person who has attacked the forest of the missing person or something like that.

[Oh oh. A guest has arrived. It’s been a while since I’ve been a human guest. My name is Volve. I am the owner of this store.]

While looking at the god’s idol and feeling a sense of mystery beyond the bizarre and gloomy in this mysterious store, someone appeared through the iron bars inside the store.

It was something that seemed arrogant, as if the script was broken.

His entire face flickered as if it had been broken, flashing with noise. Unknown images were randomly jumbled and looked strangely jumbled.

It looks like the head is covered with a mosaic. In a word, the face is covered by some kind of device to hinder recognition.

“Ooh, fuck. I’m dizzy.”

I don’t feel afraid of the other person just because it comes out like that.

I have already dealt with many monsters. Now I don’t feel fear with these visual effects. There is no reason to feel fear unless it is an opponent who can actually kill me.

I’ve already seen more than this, and I’ve even met evil spirits who filled the entire space and time with their bodies.

It’s not enough to give me a psychological shock.

“Woo-wook..”

It was a bit embarrassing to look at though. I never thought the damned guy would come out like that when he greets guests.

“Aren’t you turning off the filter?”

Aram also seems to be having a hard time. Should I rule this like a pawnshop black market?

I raised my magic slightly.

The energy felt by the opponent is similar to that of a poacher.

It’s worth dealing with. No matter how strong a poacher is, it is weaker than Zeke. It’s not that it’s strong enough to make you feel uncomfortable grabbing it.

[Now, wait!]

“Huh?”

He clenched his fists and was about to launch a tentacle punch at him when the pawnshop owner behind the bars hurriedly shook his hand.

[Oops, the filter was too strong! I was lacking in consideration.]

The guy hurriedly pressed a few buttons as if he sensed something, and lowered the perception-deterrent filter from river to medicine. It was worth seeing the face now.

The face with the black whirlpool is much easier to see than before.

“It’s better now. Do it right away.”

Haha.]

Where do you dare to hold the weight in front of me? To turn around

In any case, it seemed like the time had come for a conversation, so I asked the owner of the pawn shop.

“Tell me what you are doing here.”

[As you can see, this is a pawn shop. You can earn coins by selling things, or you can buy rare items by participating in auctions. And you can exchange achievement rewards.]

It was almost identical to the description I had heard from a survivor who had used the pawnshop before.

“That’s right. I want you to exchange this for a moment.”

I took over the ‘great means of communication’ from Aram. In the past, it was so heavy that no one but Aram could lift it, but now it was no problem because he could lift this weight with one hand.

[What are you going to replace it with? A distorted guardian? His Majesty’s Blessing?]

“To the distorted guardian.”

His Majesty’s Blessing is a cross-shaped gun. It’s an object that Aram doesn’t need because he already has the guillotine of his ancestors, that is, the Gunblade.

Weapons are not necessary as they have obtained the guillotine of the predecessors, which is an excellent means of communication and a higher compatibility of His Majesty’s Blessing. We need trinkets now.

[Now, here.]

The pawnshop owner took over the distorted Guardian Book. It’s done with this. Now, by awakening Aram with Jinma, you can use the Distorted Amulet.

“Now I want to see what you can buy.”

Pawnshops were said to sell or buy items. So I’ll have to check what they’re selling.

Even if I don’t have to come in the future, I can have the slaves come and buy things for me.

[There are currently three registered items.]

“Oh…!”

The pawnshop owner took out three items and showed them.

[Suppressive Awl: Even the slightest stab causes terrible pain. You can subdue your opponent relatively easily.]
[Price: 62,000C]

[Witch’s Raven Feather Conical Hat: Shortens or erases the chanting of skills that require chanting.]
[Price: 20,000C]

[Unicorn’s Horn: This is the horn of a unicorn that has been cut off. If you are in possession of it, you will be able to detect the malice of others. If you grind it finely and take it, your magic power increases by 500.]
[Price: 95,000C]

“Could these be…”

Two of the items the owner of the pawn shop took out are things I know.

“It’s all achievement rewards.”

First of all, the awl for suppression is one of the rewards for the achievement of 12 Years a Slave.

’12 Years a Slave’ is the achievement I achieved when I first made Harin my slave.

Then I had chosen a suppressor muzzle. It was an item that limited all abilities of the player if it was stuffed in the mouth.

The other two were a leather whip for taming and an awl for suppression. I never thought I’d see you again in this place.

“Purchase.”

It was an achievement that Ha Jin-seong had achieved once again by awakening as a slave trainer or merchant. Thanks to this, our camp already had muzzles and leather whips.

As long as you have an awl for suppression, you can get all three slave weapons. Now I have a spoon for eyeballs and an awl for suppression.

Now I can torture with both hands.

“The crow’s hat…”

This is an achievement reward for ‘mana users’ that is achieved when the magic stat exceeds 100. There are already several of these. You don’t have to live with this money.

‘The last one…’

Unicorn’s horn.

What kind of achievement reward is this? Should I even kill a unicorn? I’m curious.

Moreover, thinking that someone somewhere had accomplished a mysterious feat that I hadn’t achieved made me feel jealous, wanting to enslave, and such a strange feeling.

“Give me this too.”

I also bought a unicorn horn. It was a bit pricey, but give it to Hellus and he’ll turn it into something better.

“Next..”

They said they would exchange the reward, but would that reward include what was applied to my body?

For example, something like a camouflage pouch that was a reward for the achievement of “The One Who Tamed Sin,” Which was achieved after taming the beast.

[Possible. Instead, it would be a bit painful…]

“Is it possible? Ohh.”

I realized that it was possible.

Because there is nothing I can change right now.

“Let’s do this for today, and come again next time.”

I bought everything to buy and changed everything to change.

If I had entered the pawn shop earlier, I would have been exchanging things and using it like a black market, but I have nothing to exchange right now.

‘Now…’

It’s time to check out the skill reset ticket, class change ticket, and stat redistribution ticket you got from becoming #1 in the survival rankings.

To be honest, I didn’t see any reason to use all three.

Skills are still well-balanced, and it was clear that if I changed my class, I would be dragged away by evil spirits and undergo mental remodeling under the guise of mental training for 72 hours. Uh? Isn’t that bad?

‘The only thing worth using is the stat distribution right.’

[Jang Jo-jun]
[Type: Nagaraja]
[Level: 25]
[Class: Cultist]
[Muscle: 389]
[AGI: 373]
[Health: 415]
[Will: 344]
[Insulation: 208]
[Duration: 212]
[Resistance: 144]
[Sense: 35]
[HP: 2121]
[Lucky: 666]
[Up: 6588]

“The resistance is a bit low.”

Insulation, durability, resistance, and senses were a bit low because they were newly obtained stats after eating the dragon’s corpse, so they were obtained relatively later than other stats.

‘It’s a sense, it’s hard to grow unless it’s a fight with a strong person, so even if you put it aside. The resistance is too low.’

Furthermore, if the resistance exceeds 200, it seems that a new achievement will be achieved with all stats exceeding 200, except for Sense, Luck, and Magic stats.

‘At the point of breaking through 300, it became a bit difficult to realize the increase in stats. Sometimes it feels like only the numbers are going up.’

So it would be nice to use the stat redistribution right to lower the other stats and raise the resistance stat to 200 or higher. Furthermore, I wanted to clear the status a little.

“Done.”

[Jang Jo-jun]
[Type: Nagaraja]
[Level: 25]
[Class: Cultist]
[Muscle: 370]
[AGI: 370]
[Health: 360]
[Will: 360]
[Insulation: 210]
[Duration: 210]
[Resistance: 205]
[Sense: 35]
[HP: 2121]
[Lucky: 666]
[Up: 6588]

I lowered my stamina, which was unnecessarily too high, and took a little bit from the rest of the stats to neatly raise the resistance to 205.

[Achievement achieved! ‘All-inclusive’]
[Achievement reward will be given.]

The achievement was accomplished immediately.

As expected, I chose number 3 because number 3 increases new blood. Like other stat-related achievements.

OK..

[Achievement achieved! ‘Heavenly delay’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Sacred inviolability’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘The one and only’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]

Three achievements achieved simultaneously.

I also need to check the achievement rewards for ‘First Place’ and ‘Strongest Survivor’, which I achieved earlier, but three more.

As before, the receipt of achievement rewards began to be delayed.

“Jun! I’m here!”

“Ah, sister..”

Hee-seon noona calling me, Hellus stuffing a suitcase full of strange gadgets, Vesper frowning as if he didn’t like the sunlight, and countless luggage left in a corner.

Can not help it. The only way to get an achievement reward is to go into the Forest of Corruption and check it out.
