Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 40



Only Noblemtl

040

There are three ways to make your equipment stronger in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

Reinforcement, amplification, and re-forging.

You choose one of the three according to the characteristics of each character, usually one is done together with the other, such as strengthening and re-forging, or amplifying and re-forging.

Among the male ghost inspector professions, ‘Asura’ is a character that is directly affected by the re-refining value, so if you want to finish it relatively efficiently, you can just finish the re-refining.

If you want to get a value that affects damage a little more, you can amplify it in addition to reforging it.

In other words, if a user who is generally raising an Asura job character is equipped with a +10 boost, 8-refined weapon and +10 boost armor, it can be said that the work of improving the performance of the equipment has been completed quite well.

‘Because items break and disappear after 11 boosts. In terms of general efficiency, that’s the best. You can’t know how much gold will be consumed after 11 or 12 boosts. That’s why characters who usually have to use boosted weapons feel sorry for the ‘Distinction’. Compared to 13 boosts, 13 boosts require more resources. That’s why it’s usually not done. It’s normal not to do 13 boosts… … .’

It was pure. It wasn’t even amplified.

‘Reinforcement’ that does not affect the damage increase of the Asura class.

That’s 13 strong!

‘If you exaggerate a little, it’s just useless! It’s common for strengthened characters to tremble just from getting one level 13, so why did a re-trained character get strengthened – and even up to level 13? How much did he burn for just one ‘distinction paper’?’

Even though it is called reinforcement, it is not an amount that can be easily done, as the required resources are ‘slightly’ less than those required for amplification.

What’s even more shocking is that the reason is simply for style.

Jinseong himself thought that he enjoyed the game Dungeon & Fighter more passionately than anyone else, literally, throughout his life.

‘You’re crazy… … I thought you weren’t normal when you became strangely obsessed, but you’re crazier than I expected-. No, really… … Is that why your nickname is like that?’

Pure.

Maybe madness.

Another word that was somewhat similar to purity came to Jinseong’s mind.

How can one tell the two apart?

At least one thing was certain.

Ma Chang-sa, who had briefly formed a party to safely enter the Sky Castle, was not a beginner.

‘No, it’s not just that he’s not a beginner. This guy… … .’

A master who is similar to Jinseong himself, even if his direction is different from Jinseong’s.

Or a user who has spent his life with the game Dungeon & Fighter.

Whatever it is, there is only one thing that is important to Jinseong right now.

If you are that type of user, in other words.

“I think it would look much better if the lotus shape had a shiny finish.”

This means that the user has enough financial resources to purchase their own items.

Whether you’re crazy or not, whatever helps you right now is the best.

Sun-soo put her large, round glasses back on.

A smile never left her lips.

[ㅋㅋ I came here to look at the templates ㅋㅋ]

[I think it’s time to change the weapon skin]

[But the tentacles don’t look that great??]

She was typing quickly and smiling because she didn’t mean what she was saying.

The only reason she logged in with another character, forgetting even her intention to level up her character as a magician, was because she wanted to meet Jinseong and talk to him.

[Not really. If it had been a large sword weapon form, such as instead of a Tao, it would have felt more like Lotus, but this alone is enough to show the power of the Apostle Lotus. In my experience dealing with it, this feels more realistic than the giant tentacle.]

More specifically, it was because I was curious about how Jinseong would react!

“Whoohoo, that’s the power of the Apostle Lotus! Puhihi, have you ever faced him? Are you talking about the quest you clear at low level, right now?”

Sun-soo laughed out loud but didn’t stop moving.

As if trying to confirm something in Jinseong’s words, she had already turned on [Auction House] and was looking through it.

“But how did you know there was a greatsword in the shape of one? There’s nothing for sale at the auction house right now. I don’t think anyone uses one these days.”

Sun-soo was smiling while tilting her head.

If a ‘novice user estimated to be at least 50 years old’ in her head knows about past items, then there can only be one reason.

[Sir, how did you know the shape of the greatsword weapon?]

Is it an attempt to live up to the excitement and pure anticipation?

Jinseong hesitated for a moment and then answered.

[I looked it up in the encyclopedia.]

[Encyclopedia], a system within the game Dungeon & Fighter. Of course, I couldn’t use the real thing, so I only relied on my memory, but at least at this point, it was an appropriate answer.

“Ahahaha! I knew it! Right! Kids these days only look at Wikipedia, but it’s different for older people! Yeah, there’s an encyclopedia that’s officially available, but hehe, don’t they even use the word ‘encyclopedia’ these days?”

This is a particularly good answer because it resonates with the pure heart.

As the laughter grew louder, the image of Jinseong in her head became more solid.

Pure asked.

[Oh, so how much will you sell the figure for?]

[I’m still thinking about the price. What do you think it would be?]

She nodded as she listened to Jinseong’s answer.

Should I call it a kind of admiration?

‘Just seeing words like ‘presentation’ and ‘line’ and seeing such polite expressions makes me feel uneasy. And the way the game system is used is different… … Of course, they don’t sell it at an absurdly low price or anything. Well, the elders would know better since they’ve been through all sorts of things.’

Being immature is just not adapting properly, it can’t be stupidity.

That point was rather a proud and impressive sight for Sun-soo.

[If you’re not going to put it up for auction and sell it, should I talk to my guild members and have them come?]

[No, Jinseong, why don’t you just join our guild? There are a lot of kids, but they’ll be a lot of help.]

So she changed the subject for a moment.

Guild membership proposal for Jinseong.

[Guild] Pure Sura Sura: Is there anyone online among the Guild Masters right now?

[Guild] First of all, I’m here

[Guild] Pure Sura Sura: Poya, can I join the elder I mentioned last time?

[Guild] First of all, I’ll say this: It’s up to you, sister. Anyway, you’re the one who’s leading the way.

[Guild] First of all, I’m sorry: But is it okay for an elder to come into our guild? Raid

[Guild] Pure Sura Sura: kk If you haven’t answered yet, just explain if you’re joining.

A quick and thorough attitude that includes asking about guild chat while chatting with Jinseong.

Of course, Jinseong’s eyes widened as he listened to her.

* * *

Naturally, the first thought that came to Jinseong’s mind was only one.

‘This human… …Why is he suddenly asking me to join the guild? Are you trying to ask for a discount since I’m a guild member?’

So far, what kind of connection has there been between the two characters, Pure Tick and Pure Sura?

Jinseong himself pretended to know, but it was only to use it as one of the routes to sell the weapon form, and from the moment he guessed that this user had quite a lot of gold, he started making statements directly to sell it.

Suddenly joining a guild?

‘More than anything, I’m not sure if I can utilize the guild system. I could try shouting through the megaphone or whispering. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just end up being the only one who suffers. But the guild-.’

It’s a different story.

First of all, it may violate the rule that .

If you get penalized for joining a guild, it will be very difficult for Jinseong.

‘Right now, I won’t kill you. But like that Ranger user back then… … it would be a problem if you get some kind of debuff.’

There is still a lot of work to be done, and there is no need for Jinseong, who is only just now starting to make a full-fledged move, to take such a penalty.

What if you actually join a guild?

Even if there is no penalty, it is likely to be an unpleasant situation for Jinseong.

‘It’s not just me. When talking or communicating with guild members… … there must be more than one or two things I have to be careful about. And to them, it’ll seem like I’m online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! The lie that I set up a character in a PC room won’t last more than a day or two.’

Joining a guild and working together will definitely help.

But that was only when Jinseong himself grew up.

“I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think I can join the guild.”

This is when you can ‘cooperate’ with rather than receiving help from them.

The tone of her speech itself was the same as before, but her expression became somewhat more serious.

“Why? Haha, people say our guild is closed, but it’s okay if you join. Haha, there’s a prejudice that we’re tough and prickly, but in reality, it’s okay.”

“Oh, it’s not about the guild members. It’s just that I’m not ready. I think it’s still too early.”

Was it really meant to be accepted as the real you?

Even so, what was curious was the pure remark.

‘It’s nothing special for guild members to raid. It’s also not a special thing for advanced users who have completely mastered the patterns and gimmicks, so-called highly skilled users to raid. If you look for such guilds, there are probably hundreds of them.’

The words themselves aren’t that special, but the phrase ‘there’s talk that our guild is closed’ that was included in Pure’s statement a little while ago.

Does this mean that there are rumors about the guild, and that there was an incident that all Dungeon & Fighter users would know about?

‘… … I don’t know much about guilds because I only do guilds for the guild coins, but I know more or less about the famous guilds… … .’

The unfortunate thing was that Jinseong himself only saw the nickname ‘Pure Sura Sura’, and neither the adventurer nor the guild were visible.

“Hahaha I understand, Jinseong-nim, if that’s what you mean, then there’s nothing I can do about it. But if you think of the guild, don’t go anywhere else and whisper to me.”

“Thank you for understanding. See you next time-.”

“Oh, and the weapon shape is roughly like this?”

The pure-blooded Sura character, wearing a large, white Samoyed fur coat, suddenly held out his pocket.

And Jinseong could tell how much money was inside the pocket without even having to check it.

“Oh, no! No! This is too much. No matter how rare it is, this amount is a bit….”

Gold that makes even the most ambitious ones wave their hands to raise capital.

Naturally, the concern at this point was the rule that would not receive help.

“ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, there’s nothing for sale at the auction house, so isn’t it okay?”

“Still… I guess I can’t accept this much… I’m so grateful, but I don’t think I can do it.

Although prices are determined by supply and demand, will abnormal amount transactions actually be accepted?

Jinseong initially refused.

Pureurasura, wearing a puppy mask, tilted her head and then spoke as if something had come to mind.

“Oh, then I’ll give you this much gold.”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

A jingling sound was heard from Pureurasura’s pocket.

Jinseong nodded slowly, looking at the amount of money in his pocket again.

If you look at the prices of common weapon forms, it’s not an outrageous amount.

“Thank you-.”

“I’ll add what Jinseong-nim doesn’t have lol”

The moment Jinseong was about to grab the bag, Sunsurasu suddenly thrust out something else.

It was an egg.

Jinseong’s expression brightened in an instant.

“……Creature?”

“Is this okay?”

When asked to name one of the most necessary additional elements for Jinseong, creatures come to mind!

After successfully selling the weapon form, I was going to indirectly purchase it through the auction house from other users, but wasn’t it a creature anyway?

“It’s not just okay! I was going to buy it anyway, but I don’t know how to use the Sera Shop or the auction house… Thank you! Thank you, Sunsoo!”

“It’s embarrassing lol. It’s not like you’re going to hear it like that lol. Just try writing it”

Jinseong was thrilled that he could get it this way and closed the deal.

What did Jinseong receive after handing over the money?

Jjalgrang, the currency of Dungeon and Fighter, 8,000,000 gold.

Another one, , was hatched by Jinseong right on the spot.

“……Crunch.”

The creature hatched from the egg stared intently at Jinseong.

Jinseong noticed it.

“uh……?”

The creature was .
