Chapter 36

Earth Korea Management Team.

“Huh… I’m speechless now.”

Oh Jin-Soo stared at the screen with a speechless face.

And behind him, half of the management team staff were standing and watching the screen.

“A level 35 defeats a level 70 boss in one shot…?”

“That’s possible because he’s a user. Other users won’t be able to do it, right?”

“Of course. That user is out of the norm…”

The staff also clicked their tongues at the user’s prowess.

“By the way, that undiscovered dungeon location was found because of the party members, right?”

“That’s right. In the first place, it was the party members who discovered the undiscovered dungeon.”

The user received information from the mercenary and visited the northern snowy mountains.

In the first place, it is impossible to know the location of an undiscovered dungeon.

This time, it can be said that it was a very lucky case.

“But I wonder if he really didn’t know? Considering what he’s shown so far, he might have known…”

“Whether he knew it or not, it means the user has completed the quest.”

Severely damaged bodies are seen next to the giant White Fang.

The user recovered all the stolen treasures through the body.

“Now you’re going to use that evolution stone, right?”

“I guess so.”

Oh Jin-Soo swallowed nervously.

Where will he use that many evolution stones?

Is it a bow?

Then what change will happen to the Red Dragon Bone Bow?

His heart raced with anticipation.

* * *

[Level up!]

[All stats +1 increased.]

[Bonus stat +1 awarded.]

Done.

The level increased further by defeating the giant White Fang just now.

[Player Information]

-Nickname: Hoon

-Level: 36

-Class: Martial Artist (Lower Martial Artist 1st class)

With this, the level is 36.

[Detailed Stats]

-Strength: 46(+4) -> 50

-Agility: 46(+6) -> 52

-Health: 46(+6) -> 52

-Defense: 46(+4) -> 50

-Wisdom: 46(+4) -> 50

-Mana: 50(+5) -> 55

-Divine Power: 48(+4) -> 52

-Mental Strength: 36(+6) -> 42

-Unapplied stats: 45

Detailed stats have also increased a lot.

However, he has not yet invested bonus stats, so even though he reached level 36, none of them exceeded 60.

‘It’s okay. It’ll be over soon.’

Everything is for the future.

The moment the unapplied stat reaches 100, Jeong-Hoon will invest all the stats.

“Wow… you’re amazing.”

Johannesburg and Canvasla looked at the boss’s fallen body and burst into admiration.

An arrow that accurately pierced the forehead.

With a critical hit, the Lv.70 defense was instantly neutralized.

‘How can this be the archery skill of a level 36?’

‘Crazy… I just saw it go up to level 36, so the numbers aren’t wrong.’

He didn’t defeat it with firepower.

He accurately stabbed the enemy’s weak point and killed it in an instant.

To accurately penetrate this narrow vital point.

It was a really crazy skill.

“…Are you an archer by any chance?”

Johannesburg asked carefully.

If he had this kind of skill, he must be a skilled person who has touched a bow in reality.

What’s more, he accurately pierced the vital point of a moving target, not a stationary target like an archery target.

With this level of skill, he should immediately go out as a national representative and play an active role.

“No.”

Jeong-Hoon shook his head.

Archery?

From the beginning, when he held the bow, it was when it was impossible to enjoy such a peaceful sport.

A world where several small countries have perished and disappeared, causing even neighboring countries to falter and the infrastructure built up to collapse, turning into a complete mess.

It is still vividly remembered in his mind.

“…Why are you doing that?”

Johannesburg stuttered at Jeong-Hoon’s grim face.

He wondered if his question had angered him.

Fortunately, Jeong-Hoon’s expression quickly returned to normal.

“It’s nothing. Let’s get the reward.”

It was time to settle the reward.

Jeong-Hoon approached the body lying next to him.

A small pocket was shining in the corpse’s bosom.

[Quest completed.]

[You have acquired a ‘Lower Subspace Pocket’.]

Lower Subspace Pocket.

Unlike users, NPCs carried this subspace pocket and stored various items and goods.

Of course, it was also a very rare item that was rarely seen in the starting zone.

Why do mere thieves have such an item?

This subspace pocket was also stolen.

A roaring lion pattern engraved in the middle of the pocket.

This is the emblem of a noble family.

Although he is a ruined nobleman now, Rex has only accidentally acquired a subspace pocket.

‘It’s an item to proceed with the quest later. I need to keep it.’

Before that, he opened the subspace pocket and transferred all the equipment stolen from the blacksmith to his inventory.

Among the equipment was an energy extractor that Vulcan handled.

With this, he was able to refine the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

“Oh! Is this the reward this guy drops?”

“Jackpot, right?”

Johannesburg and Canvasla were preoccupied with the rewards dropped by the giant White Fang.

Jeong-Hoon leisurely picked up the subspace pocket and joined them.

The last hit was Jeong-Hoon’s, so he was the owner of the reward.

‘Giant White Fang’s Leather.’

[Giant White Fang’s Leather]

-Type: Material

-Grade: Rare

-It is the leather of a giant White Fang.

-A valuable material used to make armor. (Lv.60 ~ Lv.100)

First is the White Fang’s leather.

This boss’s leather cannot be removed separately.

This is because the body rots as soon as it is judged dead.

Therefore, the only leather that can be used is the leather dropped at the same time as it dies.

“Gulp.”

He heard the sound of swallowing saliva from behind.

This is because the current market price of this leather is a whopping 30 gold.

30 gold for just one piece of leather.

However, the defense of the armor made through this leather is incomparably higher than that of armor of the same level.

That’s why even leather alone can get a high price.

Even if divided into thirds, it’s 10 gold.

What’s more, the reward he spit out wasn’t just leather.

[Giant White Fang’s Magic Core]

-Type: Material

-Grade: Rare

-It is the magic core of a giant White Fang.

-Refined magic cores can be separated and used in the manufacture of weapons (staves, wands). (Lv.60 ~ Lv.100)

It’s a magic core.

Similarly, the magic core is also a material item that costs around 25-30 gold.

Using this magic core to make staves and wands will be useful for leveling up to 120.

“Gulp.”

The sound of swallowing saliva continued.

Jeong-Hoon took the items and offered them a trade in turn.

“Why trade?”

Johannesburg first.

“I’m trying to pay you the reward.”

Jeong-Hoon said that and put the giant White Fang’s leather on the item window.

Johannesburg’s eyes widened when he saw it.

“You, shouldn’t you sell it and give it to us…?”

“I’ll give the leather to you and the magic core to the user next to you.”

In fact, the purpose of this dungeon was to retrieve the items stolen by the Rex thieves.

The items dropped by the giant White Fang could also be used usefully, but they were not items that were needed right away.

So he’s going to give it to the people who worked hard to get here.

Johannesburg, who received the leather, had a touched face.

“Thank you very much!”

A whopping 30 gold.

With this, you can buy another rare sword.

Next, he offered a trade to Canvasla.

Canvasla is a wizard, so the magic core would feel even more precious.

As expected, he pressed the trade completion button with tears in his eyes.

“Thank you!”

“Yes. Then please keep today’s subjugation quiet.”

They quickly understood what Jeong-Hoon meant.

“Don’t worry!”

“I’ll keep it a secret!”

The bribery effect was the best.

* * *

Jeong-Hoon, who finished the subjugation, immediately visited the blacksmith’s shop.

The messy blacksmith shop had been transformed into a clean one after a major cleaning.

“Huh? What, you’re back already? It looks like you couldn’t find it?”

Vulcan, who was hammering iron, stopped working and greeted Jeong-Hoon.

“No. I found it.”

Jeong-Hoon took out all the weapons, armor, and Vulcan’s equipment that he had put in his inventory.

Vulcan’s eyes widened when he saw it, and an exclamation mark appeared above his head.

He completed the quest.

[Quest completed.]

[Vulcan will be able to carry out the request.]

Done.

He was now able to place an order.

“You found the weapons and armor?”

“It’s real?!”

The blacksmiths’ eyes were hot when they saw the stolen goods.

They were happy to find the works they thought they would never find again.

There was also armor that the village NPCs had commissioned.

Had he not found it, he would have had to pay 100% compensation.

If that happens, the blacksmith’s losses would have been indescribable.

The blacksmiths were full of favor towards Jeong-Hoon because they didn’t have to suffer such a loss.

[The affinity of all NPCs in the blacksmith shop increases sharply.]

NPCs included Vulcan.

“Thank you so much! So, you definitely said you wanted to refine it using evolution stones, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then can you show me what kind of weapon you’re going to refine?”

Jeong-Hoon nodded and took out the Red Dragon Bone Bow from his inventory.

When the extraordinary bow appeared, the eyes of all the blacksmiths, including Vulcan, widened.

It would be so because there was virtually no Unique grade weapon in Idenharc, so there would have been no chance to come into contact with it.

Vulcan’s hand trembled as he received the bow, so it seemed like it was his first time too.

“Is it possible?”

Vulcan thought for a moment at Jeong-Hoon’s question, then slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s possible, but… One stone isn’t nearly enough to refine a bow like this.”

It means that it cannot be refined with just one evolution stone.

“Then how about nine?”

Jeong-Hoon remembers.

He remembers that a whopping 9 evolution stones were consumed to refine the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

“Hmm… If it’s that much, it’s possible. But it won’t be easy to get nine, will it?”

“Yes.”

He took out all 9 evolution stones that were in his inventory and put them down.

“Amazing…”

“Will it be done in a week?”

“That’s enough.”

Vulcan nodded and accepted the request.

[Blacksmith Vulcan has accepted the request.]

[The refinement of the ‘Red Dragon Bone Bow’ begins.]

[The time required is ‘168’ hours.]

“Then please.”

“I’ll do my best!”

* * *

Jeong-Hoon, who came out of the blacksmith’s shop, went to the village square and met Ha-Jin.

“Hey, I’m done!”

Ha-Jin’s face was beaming.

It appears he finished the quest faster than expected.

“You found it quickly?”

“Yes! I dug in the field for about 30 minutes and found the pendant.”

“Really?”

30 minutes was considered a very quick find.

“Yes. So everyone was asking me where the pendant was. I felt so good.”

Ha-Jin smiled proudly, recalling the moment he had been a star for a while.

“Did you tell them?”

“Am I crazy to release honey tips? I just said I was lucky.”

“Heh heh, well done. So what about the item I asked for?”

“This brother brought it very well. I bought some more items with some of my money, so be thankful.”

Ha-Jin said so and uploaded three items.

One is a one-handed sword.

===

[Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword]

-Type: One-Handed Sword

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 67

-Critical Hit Rate: 1 ~ 1.5%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): When using sword skills, attack power increases by 5%

-Special Ability (2): When holding the sword, [Passive: Courageous Spirit] is automatically activated

===

Jeong-Hoon grinned.

Yes, this is the one-handed sword.

“Thank you.”

He was grateful to Ha-Jin, who sold the evolution stones and personally bought the items for him.

So he was going to give him all the remaining gold.

He also bought a dagger and knuckles.

All of them are Rare grade weapons.

===

[Yid Dagger]

-Type: Dagger

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 53

-Critical Hit Rate: 1%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

[Bronze Knuckles]

-Type: Knuckles

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 56

-Critical Hit Rate: 1 ~ 1.25%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): When equipped, the knuckles’ attack power increases by an additional 5%.

-Special Ability (2): When equipped, the knuckles’ critical hit rate increases by an additional 0.5%.

===

The stats are a bit lower than the Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword, but it’s still usable.

‘Good, the Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword is in.’

This sword is no ordinary sword.

‘When it is later revealed that it is used as a material, it will jump up to 1,700 gold.’

An item that will jump more than 34 times, considering the average of 50 gold.

Of course, it’s not an item he bought to make a profit.

Jeong-Hoon is going to use this sword as a material.
