“What's with all the super-nogadas...? ”

Ian was not there when he began his ex-production job quest in a pleasant way.

Ian is the only one left who is hunting hard with his eyes turned white!

No, it was more appropriate to say "infinite capture" than "hunting."

‘At least I'm glad there's no limit to capturing because of my headdress. If you were a normal summoner, wouldn't you have to keep coming and going to town every time you're at full power? ’

The first part of the previous quest was collecting 100 white soul beads.

This white Soul Bead can be obtained by capturing normal grade monsters and bringing them to the Fennel Shroud by making Fennel Soul Beads. Even though it is a common grade monster, my back is bent to catch 100 monsters.

Besides, the better it is to capture higher-level monsters, so Ian doesn't want to capture lower-level monsters.

That's why the monsters that Ian is capturing are in the vicinity of the town of Olives, in the upper 120th level!

I was capturing high-level monsters that weren't easy to hunt, so I couldn't help but wonder.

“Capture!”

[You have successfully captured the ‘Ice Troll’.]

Ian wipes the sweat off his brow as he looks at the ice troll being sucked into his hand.

“Phew... Are we done...?" ”

Ian opens the Summoners List and counts the monsters he captured one by one.

Then he shakes his head and sighs deeply.

It was because Ian, who was confident in Nogada, was hard enough work that he never wanted to do again.

‘You can just catch any monster, but I hope I didn't have to suffer...' ’

Ian takes a step back, feeling anxious for some reason.

“Let's go back. ”

Ian uses the return stone to return to Olivius.

However, after finishing my work, I felt proud.

‘Yes, I enjoyed hanging out because of this feeling of gratification. ’

Through self-rationalization, Ian tried to comfort the exhausted body and went to Damcheon.

Then Damchul, who found Ian returning, asked with a curious face.

“No, what took you so long? ”

An unexpected reaction caused Ian to look embarrassed.

“Yes?”

If it took me two days to catch 100, I would have done it sooner! ’

But it was Ian's misunderstanding.

Damcheon didn't know that Ian had the artifact to remove the restriction on capture, so he thought he would come back after catching as many as 5-6 as possible.

However, I thought it was strange that no matter how long I waited, I didn't come back.

“How many have you captured? ”

“How many? Of course I've captured 100. ”

“ …? ”

Ian dismissed the summoned Lai, a lot of them, and all the pins, and sent them to the subspace.

The monsters in the northern region have just begun to come out in turn.

[You summoned the ‘Ice Roll’ summon.]

[You summoned the ‘Yeti’ summon.]

:

:

[You cannot summon any more summons due to insufficient Leadership.]

When I pulled out about 20 of them, I heard a message of lack of leadership, and the wall cloth nodded.

“Your leadership is so high. You can capture 20 monsters over level 120..." That's why it took so long. ”

When the horse is finished, Ian sucks out the monsters' souls one by one and starts making them into white soul beads.

Ian continued to summon one after the other each time he eliminated one of the fences.

“Haha...? ”

As a new summoner was summoned from Ian's hands, the winding veil seemed to want an explanation, but Ian was roughly surrounded by annoying relationships.

“There is no limit to my capture as I have one artifact. ”

“Well, I see. ”

About half an hour later, all the monsters that Ian had captured turned into soul beads and were in a blanket of fresh water.

When the work was done, the umbrella looked proud.

“Excellent. Very poor souls. These should make a decent amulet. ”

Along with the words of Damcheon, a system message appeared in Ian's vision.

Tyring -

[You have completed the 'Collect White Soul Beads’ quest.]

[Obtain ‘Soul Seal’ skill.]

---------------------------------------

- Soul Seal -

Category - Active Skills

Skill Level - lv 0

Skill - 0%

Magic Consumption - None

Seals the souls of the captured Summoners into ‘Soul Beads’.

The color of the Soul Bead is determined by the grade of the Summon Water used as an ingredient, and the amount of Magic Power contained in the Bead is determined by its stats.

* Once summoned from a bead, it cannot be restored.

* Soul Beads are the basic ingredient for all of the anarchist's production skills.

* Use the 'soul enhancement’ skill to enhance the bead to a higher grade.

---------------------------------------

Ian, who had read all skill information, had a puzzling look on his face.

"So if you seal a rare grade or the only grade of monster, you get green or blue orbs?" What's a Soul Enhancement Skill? You'll let me know, won't you? ’

And it's different.

As if I had read Ian's thoughts, the words of Damcheon continued.

“Now that you've figured out how to seal souls, I'll tell you about soul reinforcement. ”

“Yes.”

The words of Damchun continued.

“Look at my hands. I won't show you again. ”

After finishing his speech, his hands start to move slowly.

White light was pale on his fingertips.

Ian's gaze moved along the fingertips of the gall cloth.

What are you doing? ’

The group of lights that remained where the wall hand moved embroidered the air, drawing a complex pattern.

And as the emblem was completed, the five corners of the emblem were sucked in like spirit beads.

‘You don't think I should just draw this myself...? ’

Ian had never been involved with dexterity since he was a child.

Even during high school art, he could not have painted such a complex pattern that he used to create strange creations that could not be known by drawing pictures.

He's sweating a cold sweat, and a wall of soul reinforcement soon approaches.

“How about that? Do you want to try it? It won't be easy, of course. ”

Ian swallowed dry water without even knowing it.

How am I supposed to reproduce such a complex thing? I really... I don't remember anything... ’

Ian doesn't know what to do when he's hesitating. Suddenly, the white light begins to grow on the tip of his hand.

‘Huh... Huh? ’

And just like when you were stationed in front of the Emperor, your body moved at will!

His hand was reproducing the same pattern that Damcheon had just shown.

Then Ian was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

‘Phew... I'm glad. I almost gave up on the quest. ’

Either way, Ian's hand, with the help of the system, perfected the pattern beautifully, and the damsel watching it applauded with a surprised look.

“Haha... I can't believe I'm doing this right now. Amazing!”

And Ian remembered the system message.

Tyring -

[You have completed the ‘Draw Enhanced Mark’ quest.]

Ian sees the message and mutters to himself.

‘I didn't do anything this time... But it's a good thing. ’

A message informs you of your skill acquisition.

[Obtain ‘Soul Enhancement’ skill.]

---------------------------------------

- Soul Enhancement -

Category - Active Skills

Skill Level - lv 0

Skill - 0%

Magic Consumption - None

Combines two or more and five or fewer Soul Beads to enhance them to a higher level of Soul Beads.

The more skilled you are, the less likely you are to fail at enhancing, and the higher your grade and the higher your chance of creating Soul Beads.

* If the enhancement fails, all soul beads used will be lost.

---------------------------------------

And in Ian's hand are the soul beads that have just succeeded in the reinforcement just made.

Ian looks at it with a curious eye.

‘Oh... They were white beads, but they turned into blue beads after strengthening them? ’

It would have been successful in raising the rank.

I opened my mouth to Ian, who was curious and looking around at the beads.

“Well done, Ian. You were a much better summoner than I expected. ”

Ian was fortunate, on the other hand, that the previous quest was easier to complete than he thought.

‘Of course, capturing Nogarda was never easy...' ’

“Thank you, Damcheon. Thanks to you, I think I have a great ability. ”

“I appreciate it even more. ”

“What do I do next? ”

With Ian's eager appearance, Damcheon smiled and replied.

“This is all the foundation for being a cipher. Congratulations, Ian. You deserve to be a cipher. ”

Then the system message began to bloom in Ian's view.

[You have succeeded in your first career as a producer (cipher).]

[A new stat, "dexterity" will be created.]

[A new stat, Luck, will be generated.]

[Creates Skill Spear 'Beginner Amulet Crafting lv1 (0% Skill)’.]

[Creates Skill Spellbind lv1 (0% Skill).]

[You learned the basic Active Skill ‘Crafting’.]

[Discover the hidden job 'cipher’ and increase your 'dexterity’ and ‘luck’ stats by 30.]

As Ian reads the system messages, he feels happy.

‘Ha, I don't know what yet... but it feels good to see something just happen. ’

But it didn't end here.

[From now on, a vocational guild will be created for the Ruspel and Kaimon Empires to serve as a 'reverse technician'.]

[All the summoners of Colonard Continent praise you.]

[Gain 100000 Reputation.]

[From now on, when hunting monsters in the field, only summoned items like 'Amulets’ and ‘Spell Marks’ will be dropped.]

“Khh... ”

Ian was amazed, forgetting that there was a wall in front of him.

Every time I get my first discovery message and reward, I feel so good that I've drawn something in Kailan's history.

With a happy look, Ian opened his mouth to a new skill window, checking work-related stats.

“It takes a lot of trial and error and effort to become an excellent cipher. The better you are, the better you can create higher grade amulets and shamanstones, so be patient and steadfast. ”

To Ian, his reckless words were compressed into a single word.

‘So I'm not asking you to work hard. ’

Ian nods with a confident expression.

“Noga... I'm also confident in my efforts and patience. Don't worry."
