Episode 121 ★Convenience Store Reinforcement Day★ (2)

Silver Dagger (+1)

Description: A dagger made of silver.

Content: Sharp and has high cutting power.

Special: You can use the ability ‘Disconnection’. ‘Birth’s Enhancement’ is applied (Agility increases by +3).

Restrictions: Can be used only if Agility is 15 or higher. This item has been granted ‘Birth Enhancement’ (the item is bound to the target).

The leader of the Jaya clan stares blankly at the silver dagger.

‘… … The stats have been added.’

This isn’t particularly surprising, since weapons with stats attached to them aren’t exactly rare.

No, rather, it was closer to the common side.

But he looked at the dagger with a serious expression and thought.

‘Has there ever been a case where the specifications of a weapon were artificially raised like this?’

I have seen many blacksmiths and native blacksmiths with blacksmith skills.

However, no one ever gave additional abilities to a completed piece of equipment.

If you were just a skilled blacksmith, all you could do was create equipment of excellent quality.

‘Then the shopkeeper’s assistant has skills that surpass those of any blacksmith I’ve ever seen… … Huh?!’

In an instant, a hypothesis struck his mind.

‘If you have the power to turn trash equipment into top-tier equipment, if you have the ability to transform top-tier equipment into named equipment, then that’s… … .’

Wouldn’t it be safe to say that it has already gone beyond the realm of production?

‘Oh my god… … . Yeah… … This wasn’t fabricated.’

This is not a simple production.

This is the ‘realm of evolution’.

And being able to do such ridiculous things… … .

“… … .”

The gaze of the Jaya Clan Leader slowly turned towards the can.

‘Is that also an administrator?!’

The rumor that the shop owner might be the manager has already spread so widely in the tower that there are few people who don’t know about it.

‘The shop owner said it was his summons… … .’

Maybe that’s also an administrator?

As he thought about it, the face of the leader of the Jae-Ya clan changed into a serious one.

At that time.

“How do you feel about receiving your first reinforcement?”

The shop owner smiles and speaks to him.

“… … This is crazy.”

Yeah, that’s crazy.

There is no other word that comes to mind.

“Haha, I’m glad you’re satisfied.”

“But, store owner, I… … .”

The leader of the Jae-Ya clan, who was about to point at the can, hurriedly took his hand away.

‘I shouldn’t provoke you unnecessarily.’

If that assistant is the real manager, there’s no need to get upset about it.

“Hmm! It’s not something else, but does the equipment become bound when you strengthen it?”

“Yes. So please think carefully before strengthening.”

“I see. I understand.”

Honestly, I don’t care if the equipment belongs to him.

‘It would be better if it became a bound item. It would be good because the weapon wouldn’t be stolen, but… … .’

The leader of the Jaya clan looked down at the dagger in his hand with a bitter look.

‘Damn… … If I had known this would happen, I would have strengthened the axe, but I ended up strengthening the throwing dagger.’

Who would have thought that an unmanly attitude would lead to such a pitiful result.

“Excuse me, shop owner. By the way… … The reinforcement ticket… … .”

“Unfortunately, Bronze-Pac owners can only purchase one Reinforcement Ticket.”

“Ugh… … .”

You can only buy one reinforcement ticket at a time.

Of course, you can always visit the Fantasy Shop again next time to buy a Reinforcement Ticket.

Chapter 1: There is no message to the liver.

‘If I can use the power-up ticket on weapons, I can use it on armor too. So then… … .’

I want to strengthen every piece of equipment he has, not just his axe.

It was his honest heart.

Did you read his mind?

“Would you like to buy more reinforcement tickets at once?”

The shop owner, with the corners of his lips raised, asks him.

“Of course! If I could afford it, I would buy them all!”

“Haha, then you just need to upgrade your deck. If you upgrade to a Silver deck, you can buy two reinforcement tickets.”

The eyes of the Jaya Clan Leader sparkle.

“So the Ganghwa Kwon was like that too! I understand! I need to quickly accumulate more contribution points!”

“Of course. If you conquer the tower and accumulate contribution points, you can enjoy more diverse benefits.”

“But, shop owner, I have one question. Is there anyone who has a gold-plated tactician?”

The shop owner shakes his head.

“No one has come out yet, but there are some strong candidates.”

“I guess I have a rough idea.”

Even if the store owner doesn’t say anything.

It was an undeniable fact that those active on the front lines, such as the Pioneers and the Hammer Clan, were closer to the Gold Pack than anything else.

“Anyway, I see! I need to work harder too!”

A few minutes later.

“Okay, next guest!”

“Me! Me! I also have the Gangwha Kwon!”

“I also have a reinforcement ticket!”

A large number of attackers who witnessed the transformation of the silver dagger lined up in front of the convenience store.

“Kiya! I recently upgraded from Wood-Pad to Bronze-Pad, and the difference in benefits is truly incredible.”

“I don’t know what the hell are the people who don’t attack thinking?”

“Reinforcement ticket! Reinforcement ticket! Reinforcement ticket!”

Bronze-plate owners who are eligible to purchase the reinforcement ticket are shaking their cards.

While the Yeonshin Ganghwa Kwon was called Yeonshin Ganghwa Kwon.

“Ugh, when on earth will I be able to upgrade to Bronze-Pad? My contribution isn’t even increasing at all.”

“They say that if you want to level up quickly, you should challenge higher floors. They say that no matter how much you hunt on lower floors, it’s useless.”

“Damn… … I’m so jealous… … .”

Wood-pat owners and those without a pat could only look on with envious eyes.

* * *

‘Ehhhh, this is better than I expected.’

Looking at the countless players lining up in front of the can.

I smiled happily.

“Oh my, Mr. Kang! Please take good care of me!”

“Assistant Kang! This is a weapon that I really cherish! How can I not do it?”

Clink, clank, flash-

Especially whenever light flashes from the can’s body.

“Sir, it’s a success! It’s a success! Whoa! Look at this! My bow has gained 3 strength!”

“This is crazy, really. I never thought I’d be able to upgrade my specs like this.”

“Look at this! It looks like it can be used as armor too!”

A bright smile appears on the lips of the attackers who were looking at the can with anxious eyes.

‘+1 seems to have a pretty high chance of success.’

Of course, I heard a rough explanation from the can.

Certainly, it felt like +1 had a higher chance of success.

‘But I heard that the probability goes down a lot after that.’

According to the can.

The highest level that can currently be strengthened is +5.

It was said that as the reinforcement level increases, the success rate decreases.

‘Well, that’s to be expected.’

In addition, if the reinforcement fails.

The item will not be destroyed, but its enhancement level will decrease.

‘But I don’t know exactly what the failure rate is. I’ll have to ask the can later… … .’

At that time.

“Get out of the way!”

A middle-aged man with a half-bald head speaks solemnly as he passes the bronze-patterned owners.

“What? Hey! Don’t you know the rules of the Fantasy Shop?! If your deck is low, you go to the back… … GASP!”

Sharara-

A brilliant card in his hand.

It was none other than Silver Patch.

“Wow, you were the leader of the Hammer Clan!?”

“Weren’t you still challenging the Void Zone?”

“Ugh… … Silver-Parani… … .”

Bronze-plate owners who naturally pave the way.

Thump-

The Hammer Clan Leader, who had placed a heavy Warhammer on the floor, looked at me and smirked.

“Shopkeeper! I’m back!”

“Haha. It’s been a while, Muradan. Have you had any success in the Void Zone?”

“Huh! We’re not like those thieves. We’re going through the void in a fair and square manner!”

What he means by pickpocketing is.

It was about pioneers who passed through the Void Zone using special stamps.

“The tower is a trial! And through that trial, we move forward and grow. But what would we gain by passing the trial in such a fraudulent way?! Isn’t that right, shop owner?”

“Well, everyone has different goals.”

“Anyway, shop owner! You’re having a really strange event! Can I try it too?!”

“wait a minute.”

I took out the reinforcement tickets from my subspace pocket and checked the number of them.

‘Well, there are about 20 sheets left.’

The maximum number of reinforcement tickets that a can can issue at one time is 50.

In other words, it’s like saying that the current can only be strengthened 50 times.

‘There’s nothing we can do about that part.’

Of course, I asked the can if more could be issued.

But the guy just gave the answer, “Evolution is necessary.”

‘We’ll figure out a way to issue more reinforcement tickets later, but for now, let’s focus on the task at hand.’

“There’s still some room. Yes, that’s fine.”

“It looks like the quantity is insufficient?”

“Haha, it’s still early days so it’s not very spacious.”

Muradan wipes his mustache as if it’s nothing.

“As long as I have my share, I’m fine with it.”

“Uh, Clan Leader, that’s a bit… … .”

“Shut up! You should have upgraded to Silver-Pad right away! You lazy bastards!”

Muradan, who had been shouting at his clan members, looks at me again.

“Anyway, I’ll try strengthening too. Silver-Pad is 2 sheets?”

“yes.”

“Buy them all!”

Muradan who purchased 2 reinforcement tickets.

“Okay, shopkeeper’s assistant! You said it was a tin can? Anyway, just reinforce this!”

Warhammer of Blood

Description: A bludgeon used by the ‘Ponter’ clan that came from the Gate. This warhammer, which always thirsts for blood, is said to always lead its user to destruction.

Content: Its use is limited due to its extreme weight, but its impact is enough to shatter the ground.

Special: Can use abilities such as ‘Rampant Blood’, ‘Blood’s Second Coming’, ‘Origin of the Hammer’, etc.

Restrictions: You must have a strength of 40 or more to use it, and you must feed the enemy blood at regular intervals.

What he handed to the can was none other than his beloved weapon, the Warhammer.

“I remember it as a weapon that I treasured very much.”

“right!”

After nodding to me.

Muradan looking at the can.

“It’s a very precious weapon to me. So I want you to strengthen it properly!”

A tin can looking up at a warhammer that looks at least twice as big as me.

“What? Puhahahahaha! Is that what you think?!”

While Muradan cheerfully passed over the can’s words.

The large warhammer was sucked into the tin can’s glove in an instant.

Weeeeeeeeeeeing-

A creaking and frictional sound began to echo from the can’s body.

“Ohhhhh!”

Muradan looks at the can with eyes full of anticipation.

“If light bursts out from that assistant’s body, then it must have been a successful reinforcement structure?!”

“For now, yes.”

“Light! Light! Light!”

Muradan keeps shouting as if trying to increase the success rate of reinforcement.

“… … .”

And everyone watches his challenge with bated breath.

Clink, clank-

“Okay, okay?”

Pushuuut-

Suddenly, a flat sound came out of the can’s body.

Smoke rises between the gloves.

“Huh?! Th, this is… … .”

“Failure?! Failure? Failure!”

Muradan looks at me hastily.

“Shopkeeper! What the heck is this… … .”

“There is no guarantee that reinforcement will always succeed. Unfortunately, you were unlucky.”

“Ugh… … .”

At that moment, Muradan was looking at the Warhammer and smacking his lips awkwardly.

“Poohahahahaha! Mr. Hammer! Thank you! Thanks to you, I had a great time!”

“Wow, it’s possible to fail at strengthening. This is the first time I’ve seen it fail. Congratulations, Muradan! You may not be the first to succeed at strengthening, but you are the first to fail at strengthening. Where is that?”

A chorus of mockery was heard among the crowd, directed at Muradan.

In the direction where the sound came from, there were the ‘Newbie’ clan and the ‘Knowledge’ clan.

Along with the Hammer Clan, there were other clans active on the front lines.

“If you’re done reinforcing, could you step aside with that Warhammer? I can reinforcing it too.”

“Ugh… … .”

Muradan, his face flushed, shouts at them.

“There’s still one more left, you guys!”

“Yeah, it’s going to fail again anyway.”

“Either you just fail coolly and give us a stack of offerings, or you get out of the way, get out of the way.”

“Okay, if you’re not going to do it, step aside. I’ll try it too.”

Muradan, who could not overcome the clan leaders’ wrath, eventually gave up his position.

“Where, how well you are doing, I will watch with my own two eyes!”

“Wouldn’t it be harder to fail? Hohoho, watch carefully. You have to do this without hesitation. Like this!”

The knowledge clan leader who hands the tin can a wand with a strengthening ticket and a jewel attached to it.

Weeeeeeeeeeeing-

The reinforcement has begun again.

The eyes of the Knowledge Clan Leader also shake as they follow the busy sound.

Clink, clank-

“Success! Success?! Right… … .”

Pushuuut-

“… … .”

As smoke rose from the can’s body.

“Poohahahahaha!”

“Hehehehehehehe!”

Muradan and the clan leaders who were watching this burst into laughter.

“You were so confident. Puhahahahaha!”

“Hey, it’s noisy! It’s strange, it seemed like the reinforcement was working well until just now… … .”

“Let me try.”

The clan leaders then step forward to strengthen their power.

however.

Pushuuut-

“Huh?!”

Pushuuut-

“Hmm?!”

As if by promise, failures came one after another.

I felt the clan leaders’ gazes slowly turning towards me.

“I… … shop owner? Are you talking about reinforcement… … . Like there was a change in probability or something like that… … . Oh, no! I’m not misunderstanding the shop owner, so please don’t misunderstand.”

“Is the probability of failure this high?”

I smiled leisurely at their questions.

“The odds are kept secret, as per the policy of the Fantasy Shop.”

“Umm… … .”

“Even if the probability is like that, it’s too bad to back out like this… … .”

At that time, the clan leaders who had used up all their reinforcement rights were licking their lips in regret.

“Watch carefully, you guys! This time, you’re going to succeed!”

Muradan shouted at the clan leaders.

“What? Didn’t you just write it all down?!”

“Huh, we’re going to fail again anyway. We all failed, so do you think Muradan will succeed?”

“Hahaha! Just watch!”

Muradan looks down at the can and laughs heartily.

“Okay, Tin Assistant! Please reinforce once more!”

Weeeeeeeeeeeing-

The reinforcement has begun again.

“Let’s go… …! Light! Light!”

Clink, clank-

“Hmm!”

At that very moment.

Whoa whoa, flash-

Suddenly, a different light than before appeared from the can’s body.

A golden light began to flow out from his body and spread out.

“Ohhhhh?!”

“What, what is it? It seems like something is flashing differently than before.”

The audience is confused.

And I too looked at the can and thought.

‘I’m seeing this light for the first time too?’
