Chapter 9

9. Since I survived anyway, I pressed the

[Receive reward

] button that appeared in front of me, and I heard a sound similar to a roulette wheel.

A vicious system that even pays achievement rewards with probability.

[Acquisition of skill (throwing★)]

“Throwing?”

Kang Seung-hyun was puzzled when he saw the name of the skill. Just looking at the name, it’s not a skill for healers.

I thought it would be nice to have a good attack skill.

‘It was a bit difficult. One incision was so damn good...’

But that didn’t mean he wanted to get a real attack skill.

“It’s good.”

I’ll spit out some healer skills. Seunghyun Kang let out a sigh.

‘It’s better than nothing.’

Fighting is unavoidable as long as you live as an adventurer on the Azul Continent. The moment you leave the village, monsters attack and robbers attack for money. Even a healer had to have at least a means to protect himself.

‘I can use this even if I just have one cool stone.’

Usually, throwing-type skills increase accuracy or increase damage when throwing objects. Even if it’s just throwing a stone, if it becomes a skill, terrifying power comes out.

Kang Seung-hyun said that this was fine and decided to be satisfied.

‘But what is this star?’

One peculiarity was that the skill name had an asterisk attached to it.

‘Among the skills I’ve acquired so far, none of them have a star attached to their name.’

I don’t know exactly, but asterisks could sometimes be seen in the roulette reward window.

Rubbish is given ☆ stars, and good rewards such as skills and items are given ☆ stars.

‘Is this a good skill then?’

Judging by the star attached to the skill itself, it must not be an ordinary skill. Kang Seung-hyun checked the [Throwing] skill.

[Throwing]

[If you throw or throw an object, you receive the following effects.]

[Throwing accuracy +100%]

[Throwing damage +100%]

[Throwing attack speed +100%]

[Additional effect bonus +25%]

“Accuracy rate and damage 100% attack speed, is this the default value?”

The above three were exactly as Kang expected.

“But... an effect bonus?”

Problem number 4. There was an option not seen in normal throwing.

‘The effect bonus is 25%?’

It was an eye-opening phrase. It’s not limited to potions like the [Spray] skill, so it’s a skill that can take effect just by throwing anything.

‘I thought the [Spraying] skill was pretty good, but this is no joke.’

For example, if you use the [Throwing] skill to fire a poison needle with an instant death rate of 1%, the bonus increases the probability to 26%.

‘Compared to [Spray], the bonus is 5% lower, but I can use any object for throwing.’

Even if you just apply one poison with a 2% chance of poisoning on a stone, it is 27%. In an instant, it turns into a vicious weapon.

‘This is enough to give as a reward for rare monster achievements.’

If this skill had been given to a ranger or rogue rogue, he would have been flying around like he had wings.

The one who actually got this skill was Yamae Healer.

‘In addition, as explained, the potion effect would increase by 25%.’

It would be good to test this separately later. Because I don’t have a few potions right now.

“Then I must have received the reward...”

Kang Seung-hyeon took out a stamina potion from his inventory.

I recovered my energy with the only remaining stamina potion and approached Matvelo. The shield of light had disappeared as if it had run out of mana.

“Martbello, thank you for your hard work.”

If it wasn’t for this friend, it would have been more troublesome to deal with.

Originally, he intended to receive 300,000 gold, but he decided to only receive 200,000 gold.

“Thank you for living. You are great.”

As Kang Seung-hyun approached, Matvelo lowered his head and said.

This guy was still in fanatical mode. At this point, I don’t think I’ll believe it even if I tell you the truth.

“Thanks to that, it was comfortable. Light shield is good.”

“I am honored to have been of help. What happened today is me going to the grave...”

“Let’s skip the nonsense.”

Kang Seung-hyun asked, skipping through Matvelo’s nonsense.

“It was like that, right? He knows how to write a revision.”

Periel nodded.

Instead of 1.2 million gold, Kang Seung-hyun got a rare item.

‘Gold will come into my pocket sooner or later.’

That’s what shaving is all about.

-“Welcome to the Adventurers Guild.”

It was morning when they left for Dentroll Forest, but it was late in the evening when they returned to Hind Village.

The Perial Party headed to the Adventurer’s Guild first.

“I’m here to report the request...”

Periel stuck out the head of the rare rat with the request. The receptionist looked at the rare rat and meticulously reviewed the request.

‘I couldn’t even eat lunch until this time... There’s no difference between living on Earth and living on the Azul Continent.’

While the receptionist reviewed the request, Seunghyun Kang munched on the bread he bought for 200 gold. It’s not that delicious, but there’s nothing like this for simple hunger appeasement.

“The review is over. Thank you for the neat work done.”

While I was debating whether to eat another piece of bread, the receptionist brought out a money bag with a smile.

“All ten thousand gold coins.”

“thank you.”

Periel murmured as he received the pouch.

“I thought 1.2 million gold was a lot of money, but compared to the hardships, it was a pittance.”

It’s a lot of money to earn from killing a mouse, but it’s a lot of money when you think of it as the price of your life.

“No matter how much money it is, if you think that your life is at stake, it becomes a pittance.”

“Take it. It was the one who caught the rare monster anyway, and we didn’t have the ability to catch it.”

Periel held out the money bag to Kang Seung-hyun. He said he didn’t even deserve to hold it.

“I’m sorry I tried to eat all of this.”

Kang Seung-hyun smiled with a face that said he was not sorry at all.

But sorry is true. Anyway, if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have known about this request.

“I made money today and got a rare item...I’ll buy you a drink today.”

“I’m grateful that you didn’t kill the ignorant bastard and saved me...”

Periel smiled dejectedly and continued.

“We will be going back to our hometowns tomorrow, so drinking parties will be difficult. I want to quit this.”

Ferial had a very complex face. This time, it seems that the shock was great.

“What about us?”

“They are all from the same village. If the three die together, we have to hold a joint funeral.”

Among the adventurers of the Azul Continent, there are many parties made by people who know each other like friends or siblings from the same village. So joint funerals are also common.

“It’s okay for me to die alone, but how will they see the faces of the villagers when they die?”

The leader of the party has no choice but to put a heavy burden on his shoulders.

“I didn’t even know him well, he said that he would be an adventurer, and then he almost died...”

The reason why Periel wanted to quit being an adventurer was because of his colleagues. He almost died, but that was the decisive reason.

Kang Seung-hyun looked at Ferial and opened his mouth.

“But you survived anyway.”

It doesn’t matter who helped me or if I survived on my own.

He may die tomorrow, but he survived today anyway. If you’re alive, that’s what happened.

“Well, if you’re dead, you won’t even be able to say that you’re giving up being an adventurer.”

Periel smiled and nodded.

“Then let’s go. Buy me a drink next time.”

Periel left the Adventurer’s Guild with two companions.

“Then what about Matbello?”

Just in case, I invited Martbello out for a drink.

“I can’t drink.”

Martbello refused, saying he was not good at drinking.

“I don’t know if I can refuse the alcohol that a great person gives me...”

Besides, he’s talking nonsense like he’s drunk even if he doesn’t drink.

Kang Seung-hyun said while keeping his distance from Matvelo.

“Even if we meet tomorrow, let’s pretend we don’t know each other. I’m not going to pretend to know either.”

“All right. you are a great being It means you have to hide your identity now.”

How can I understand this word like that?

Kang Seung-hyeon wondered if he might have turned a normal person into a madman.

“I am still lacking. More training is needed to see the true face of a great person like me...”

Martbello interpreted it at will, and then slowly walked away as if convinced. I won’t be meeting with that guy.

‘Now that we’ve removed the strange guy, let’s go get a drink... Oops.’

Kang Seung-hyun took out a marble from his inventory. It is a rare item obtained from a rare rat.

“I forgot this.”
