Chapter 5 – Part 1 Hunter – A New Beginning, the Beginning of Charging (3)
“Why couldn’t I hold back…”
Lying on the floor, I groaned.
“Devil…Gathering equipment is the devil…The devil tempted me…Yes. I didn’t pick it. It was the devil. So I’m not at fault. So, let’s ask for a refund. … 3,000 pieces of trash…”
I tried mumbling self-hypnosis, but it didn’t comfort me at all. Lost rune stones do not return.
Keugh. Damn it.
After being so frustrated for a while, I checked the interface in a depressed mood, and suddenly a new pop-up window appeared.
[Achievement: Use 30,000 Paid Rune Stones]
[You have acquired 3,000 Rune Stones.]
“Really!!”
I’m back! Runestones are back!
I did a draw with 3,000, but 3,000 came back!
I rose from the floor with a tumble of cheers.
“3,000 exactly right! Isn’t this actually given to me to pull out equipment? Yes, this is definitely a God-given opportunity. It’s definitely time for it to come out. If I don’t pull this out, I’m not a man. No, I’m not even a person. If I don’t pull this out, I’m It’s a beast!”
I was talking to myself like that, forgetting even the image of myself soaked in regret just 10 seconds ago.
And, this time, as if possessed by something, he pressed the summoning equipment button.
And, as soon as I pressed it, I screamed.
“Ah! What did I do again!?”
Why do humans make the same mistakes over and over again?
I should have been more careful here.
There might be a place to use rune stones otherwise!
“Aaaaagh! You stupid bastard! Mojiri! Asshole!”
I smacked my forehead on the floor and blamed myself. Then, unable to bear looking at the summoning result window, he covered his face with both hands and fell on his stomach.
Kuh… It feels like my heart is tightening with nervousness. It was nothing like being abandoned by those guys. Yes. The real ordeal was in the equipment selection.
Goddess! Player! Please, please give me even a handful of luck…!
I prayed earnestly, never twice in my life, and carefully opened my eyes.
And two rainbow-colored treasure chests reflected in my eyes.
“Oh, ooooo!!”
I did it! Floated! Two rainbows! 2 SSRs! To double! I did it! I did it!
As I was screaming and screaming, I hit the wall in the next room as if it was noisy. Do you know Now I’ve pulled out two SSRs.
I opened one of the two rainbow-colored boxes with my fingers trembling with excitement.
What appeared with dazzling effects was a fantastic atmosphere of a bow in black and red.
“Booaaaaa!@##%$%^!!”
As if out of my mind, I let out an unidentified shout.
[SSR Raven Blood]
ATK+880
Finesse+240
Critical Rate +20%
Aircraft damage +30%
10% chance of inflicting 1 random status ailment on hit
I couldn’t control my overflowing joy, so I danced while standing on my hands, shouting “Gueeeee”))
…The frantic dance only ended after three minutes.
Haha, wake up, Yuzu. This kind of look isn’t like me. It’s not cool.”
I caught my breath and told myself.
But the excitement that seemed like my heart would explode didn’t go away.
Uhhh The corners of his mouth twitched, and laughter escaped spontaneously.
Now, I could fully understand Kun’s child splitting the threads. It felt like this. Of course there is no forgiveness.
“Okay. I still have one rainbow-colored box left. I don’t care if this isn’t my professional equipment. Seriously. I’ve already eaten my bow. It’s as if I’ve used up all my luck for the rest of my life. Don’t expect it. Don’t expect it, Yuzu. ! Never! Don’t expect it!!”
Of course it’s a lie. Even if the sky falls, I hope the equipment for my job comes out. But for some reason, I felt like it wouldn’t come out if I put it in my mouth. So, while deliberately denying it, I carefully checked the contents.
[SSR High Elf Gracias Boots]
Defense +122
Finesse+46
Movement speed +28%
MP recovery +22%
Evasion +8%
“Heh…Huh heh heh…”
Oh dear. Is it my professional equipment again?
I can’t help it.
“Keukkyuk…”
A guy like you… I don’t really need it, but I’ll show my sincerity and wear it. Ta, you don’t wear it because you really need it, do you? Not to be mistaken?
“Pufu. Fufufufu.”
What to do The laughter doesn’t stop. Did I get sick? Maybe the mushrooms I ate for breakfast were strange mushrooms.
“Ah~ good. That’s enough. Come on.”
I slapped my cheeks with both hands to drive away the excessive excitement.
“I got the weapon, and I like the shoes. Heck. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before we become the best hunter. Fufufu.”
I couldn’t even think of the sadness of being betrayed by those guys. This is because the impact of paying bills or picking up equipment was too strong.
To have my feelings go back and forth over two SSR devices, I might be a snob that I don’t have the right to tell others about.
“…Let’s check the achievements first.”
[Achievement: Obtain 3 SSR Equipment]
[You have acquired 150,000 gold.]
Is it gold again? You’ve collected quite a bit of gold too. Now it’s close to 1 million gold.
And then, a welcome pop-up window appeared.
[Lenas’ contract: EXP +10% for 30 days, gold acquisition +20%, item acquisition +20%]
[11,000 won]
[Are you sure you want to buy?]
[Confirm]
[Payment has been completed.]
[Lenas’ contract has been applied. Duration remaining: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes]
“Ohhh! Player is the best! I love you!”
What was it It was a billing service that gave a good effect anyway, despite the goddess Lenas saying something. Which of the three did you get? What do you know What matters is that I received it.
However, this was just the beginning.
[Limited to once a week! Enchantment Stone Package: 10 Enchantment Stones + 1,000,000 Gold]
[33,000 won]
[Are you sure you want to buy?]
[Confirm]
[Payment has been completed.]
[You have acquired 10 Enhancement Stones and 1,000,000 Gold.]
“Ah…This is it. Enhancing stone package.”
It’s probably the package Kunjac was talking about.
100,000 Gold for 10 Enhancement Stones.
Now I understand the priest’s words that the Ganghwa Stone is valuable. 10 Enhancement Stones can be obtained by disassembling one SSR equipment or disassembling 10 SR equipment.
But where are the reinforcement stones used? Upgrade equipment?
Without waiting for me to think deeply, a new pop-up window appeared in front of my eyes.
[Limited to once a week! Familiar Package: 300 Fairy Powder + 2,000,000 Gold]
[55,000 won]
[Are you sure you want to buy?]
“Oh? This? This is the first time I’ve seen it?”
[Confirm]
[Payment has been completed.]
[Acquired 300 Fairy Powder and 2,000,000 Gold.]
Check your inventory in a daze.
39 Enhancement Stones and 300 Fairy Powder. Gold has already reached 4 million gold. It’s enough money to live on for the rest of your life even if you retire right away.
“Heh. But I can’t.”
This is the grace that the player supported me in anticipation of my performance as a hunter. You cannot betray that expectation. If you’re lazy, you might get [Deleted] In an instant.
“Thank you, Player. As a Hunter, I will live with the determination to die.”
I knelt down and bowed my head towards the invisible player.
However, it was too early to say goodbye.
The player’s billing rush had just begun.

[Payment has been completed.]
[You have acquired 11,000 Rune Stones.]
…
“…Reel.”
…
“Are you really done?”
“It’s not a lie this time, is it?”
I carefully check my inventory.
The number of rune stones displayed there is 242,120.
“Ha… 240,000… Really…”
My mind goes blank at too many numbers.
I have no idea how many there are.
“There are 3,000 11 draws, so you can draw 80 11 times each. 880 draws. SSR is 1%, so it’s a calculation that draws 9. SR is 19%… About 180?”
Honestly, the probability of SSR grade equipment is so low that I don’t know what will happen.
But at least I can collect all SR grade equipment.
For some reason, it was because I received so much support, but on the contrary, my head became cold.
“…First of all, we have to check if there is a place to use rune stones besides summoning equipment.”
If there is a part that must be used, but if you use up all the rune stones to summon equipment and get blocked, you can’t open your eyes and see. Even though the player has invested this much, there is a degree of shamelessness only when it is not enough.
So I started looking at the interface to see if I had missed anything.
And I quickly found it. The use of rune stones I had been missing.
“Can I buy gold with rune stones?!”
300,000 gold with 300 rune stones.
1,000 Rune Stones and 1,000,000 Gold.
With 3,000 rune stones, 3 million + 1 million = 4 million gold.
5,000 rune stones could be exchanged for 5 million + 3 million = 8 million gold.
“Really? 5,000 Rune Stones cost 8 million gold… Doesn’t that mean almost 5 million gold per 11 equipment draws?!”
My whole body trembled as I realized that I had unknowingly used tens of millions of gold to draw equipment.
To be honest, as a country boy, even a million gold is an amount I have never seen before. The number of tens of millions was beyond my imagination.
“…Ha, but you can change rune stones into gold, but there is no way to change gold into rune stones. This means that the value of rune stones is higher than that of gold, right?”
I almost impulsively turned all the rune stones in my hand into gold, but I soon realized an important fact and managed to endure it. Runestones can be changed to gold at any time, but gold cannot be changed back to runestones.
“Where are you going to use gold in the first place? According to the priest, gold disappears like dust.”
According to my common sense, the idea that millions of gold will disappear like dust doesn’t come to my mind.
However, the fact that rune stones can be turned into gold must mean that there are places that need gold as much. It’s not like buying arrows and potions is going to cost as much gold.
“Come to think of it, when I disassembled the SSR equipment, besides the enhancement stone, synthetic stones were also found.”
I found a synthetic stone that I hadn’t checked before and checked the information by pressing ? (Help).
[Synthetic Stone: Material needed to synthesize familiars]
Can you synthesize familiars!?
But it’s kind of creepy. Doesn’t it turn into something like a two-headed butterfly when synthesized?
As a confirmation, if you press the yellow butterfly you pulled out earlier, there is a synthesis menu. Likewise, press ? (Help) to check the synthesis information.
[Synthesis: Combine 2 familiars of the same grade to create another random familiar.]
[When synthesized, there is a 10% chance that a higher grade familiar will be born.]
[Materials required for synthesis]
[R grade + R grade = 1 synthetic stone + 1,000,000 gold]
[SR grade + SR grade = 2 synthetic stones + 2,000,000 gold]
[SSR level + SSR level = 3 synthetic stones + 3,000,000 gold]
“The amount of gold that goes in is outrageous!!”
Unknowingly, I screamed loudly.
But that has to be the case too. Isn’t the cost of synthesis ridiculously expensive?
It is at the level of collapsing several houses each time it is synthesized. It’s a questionable level whether it was really made for you to do.
“…Let’s put aside the Familiar Synthesis for now, the next one is the Enchantment Stone.”
As a petit bourgeois, I decided to pretend I didn’t see it.
[Enhancement Stone: Material needed to enhance equipment.]
Currently, there are 39 Enhancement Stones in the inventory.
I checked the enhancement menu with my favorite weapon (I have never used it yet) [Raven Blood].
[Enhance equipment: Strengthen equipment.]
[All stats of the equipment increase by 20% per enhancement level.]
[Set options increase stats based on the part with the lowest strengthening value among the set items you are wearing.]
[Materials required for enhancement]
[N-grade equipment = 1,000 gold]
[R-grade equipment = 10,000 gold]
[SR Grade Equipment = 1 Enhancement Stone + 100,000 Gold]
[SSR Grade Equipment = 10 Enhancement Stones + 1,000,000 Gold]
[The amount of reinforcement stones and gold required increases according to the level of enhancement.]
[Equipment enhancement is possible up to 10 times.]
[When strengthening +5 or +10, new options are randomly given to the equipment.]
[When disassembling enhanced equipment, all enhancement stones used in the equipment are returned. (However, gold is not returned.)]
“Oh oh…”
After reading the description, I involuntarily spit out an exclamation.
Is it a 20% increase in all values for each enhancement? So, in the case of Raven Blood, are you saying that the attack power, technique, critical rate, additional damage to air units, and status abnormality rates all increase?
Where, I stopped trying to strengthen once for a test.
First of all, I have a lot of Rune Stones in my hands. A whopping 240,000. If so, wouldn’t it be possible to pick up a better weapon by summoning equipment later? In that case, the gold used to strengthen Raven Blood would be wasted.
Even at the time of selection, Raven Blood was regarded as a life partner, but the treatment changed in just a few minutes.
…I really can’t blame them. Sorry, Raven Blood.
But I can’t help it. In order to consume the given resources as rationally as possible, I decided to hold off on upgrading my equipment for now.
“Cheuk. Now, it’s time to draw.”
I moved my hand to the devil’s draw button again.
