Super Equipment
Chap 21's
...~•~...
After breakfast, Sairou's parents immediately headed to the vegetable shop they managed. The two of them usually left at 5am, so they were quite late today.
"They're late for breakfast with their son."
Sairou suddenly felt another wave of emotion as tears filled his eyes. This was the first time her stomach felt so full in a while. He sat on the sofa and fell asleep, before waking up because of Sehee.
Sehee had changed into her school uniform and now looked like a neat student. She is Sairou's sister, but she has to admit that she is beautiful.
"What's? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked.
"I'm happy to see you grow up so well" he replied.
“A-What did you say suddenly!?” Sehee flushed while hitting and hit Sairou's lower arm.
'What? Did I do something wrong? But what's this cool feeling?’ Sairou felt relief in the area Sehee hit. It's like a massage! “Ah, good! Hit me more! Some more! Hit it straight.”
“Kyaaak! Pervert!"
The slap!
'...Why did he suddenly slap me?' thought Sairou, putting his hand on her tingling cheek.
Meanwhile, Sehee shouted, “I've filled the bathtub with hot water. Your body will feel better after the bath. Bawdy sister !”
“Ah, uh, yes..”
He was someone who was angry at her but always took care of her.
'But why am I a pervert?' Sairou wondered.
Sehee went to school while Sairou soaked in hot water.
“My tired feeling is gone,” he said.
Then after a while... Sairou got out of the bathroom and paid the loan interest via direct account transfer. It was hard to bear seeing the money from his blood and sweat disappear before his eyes.
“Ugh... This world is hell.”.
He needs Money. So, he hurriedly entered the capsule and connected to Satisfy.
'How much is that arrow?'
"Login!."
Jiing.
The capsule door closed, and his field of view slowly turned black. Then the familiar sound of the system and music entered his eyes, then his gaze brightened again.
“Their work is good.”
Rous appears in a place that reminds him of a charming village in medieval Europe. He immediately declared the order, "Status window."
[Name: Rous]
Rate: 3 (75/500)
Class: Pagma's Successor
* The probability of adding additional options when creating an item will increase.
* The chances of item upgrade will increase.
* All equipment items can be used unconditionally.
However, there are penalties depending on the item's rating.
Title: Someone Who Became a Legend
* Abnormal conditions do not work well for you.
* You will not die at minimum health.
* Easy to acknowledge.
Health: 336/336 Where: 87/87
Power: 24 + 5 Stamina: 22 Agility: 16 Intelligence: 29
Agility: 55 Persistence: 21
Tranquility: 14 Persistent: 16 Dignity: 14 Insights: 14
Stat Points: 60
Weight: 3.095/1.000
* Weight limit exceeds 200%, so movement speed is reduced by 100%.
His body was heavy and unable to exert any strength properly.
The chances of receiving the 'weak' status became extremely high.]
“Level 3's... Huhu, is that really it?”
His stats increased as he made items with epic ratings. Considering the 60 stat points he had yet to use, Rous was actually around level 26. If he equipped the Great Mammon Sword and the Mengel Plate Armor, he could show a level 50 combat power.
“Is this a feeling of superiority that only special people can feel? Huhuhuhu..”.
In the square filled with people, he forgot the harshness of reality as he spoke excitedly to himself. Then with one hand on his hip, Rous laughed like the protagonist of a movie.
The women passing by gave him dirty looks and gossiped to each other.
“What's with that guy? Perform strange poses and laugh while talking to yourself.”.
“Is he imagining? Maybe he's fantasizing about being a prince?”
“She's ugly. She may not have a lover.”
Normally, Rous would not be happy, but right now, he was so happy that he did not care about the gazes of others. He ignored what they said and checked the experience of his various skills.
[Featured Iron Clever Skill Lv 1 (3.7%)]
[Featured Iron Smoke Lv 1 (2.0%)]
He thought it would take longer to improve the experience of this skill.
'Is it thanks to making epic items?'
Rous headed to the auction house with a light heart. As usual, the auction house was crowded with people.
“I want to know at what price is the highest offer ..”
However, he soon became worried. Do even wealthy users want to spend so much money on buying arrows? In the first place, consumables were cheap compared to equipment items.
"Yes, don't expect too much."
Rous opened the auction window thinking that he would be satisfied if they sold for double the price.
Later then...
“P-Pfftt...!”
After confirming the bid price of the Jaffa Arrow, he could not keep his mouth shut.
Meanwhile, he could hear the voices of the women staring at him.
“Isn't he the one who laughs at himself in the square? Gosh darn. What's he doing now? Mouth agape.”
“Kyaaak~! His saliva is dripping! It's disgusting!"
"ugly... She must not have a boyfriend."
“Argh ... Uhhh ..” Rous tried to keep his mouth shut, but it wasn't easy.
[Special Jaffa Land] (99 Pieces)
[Offer Price: 72 silver per piece.]
It sold for 12 times the price of the regular Jaffa Arrows!
“Eh..uh...aack...” He touched the inventory with trembling hands, then he took out the calculator which was the default item reserved for all users.
‘99×72\=?’
“...7.128...”
100 Silver is 1 gold. 7,128 silver means 71 gold and 28 silver. For reference, 100 gold is worth about 120,000 won in cash.
'Didn't I make 100 arrows in a day?'
That's about a day in game time. If he counted them in real time, he earned around 84,000 won in less than six hours.
“Ha...hahaha.” Rous is very happy. An uncontrollable laughter emerged from his mouth, "Huahahaha!"
"O-That guy ended up going crazy!"
"Naughty-looking! He must not have a lover! Her mother must be the only female contact on her phone.”
'Cough, do their words have to be so sharp?'
No, he would not be shaken by these women.
'Speak in your heart.'
At this moment, he could still smile even when he heard such embarrassing words.
"I can see a sure way."
A debt?
"I'll pay it back in the game!"
No need to go looking for a job. It was more profitable to make money from the items he made in the game. Indeed, the Pagma Successor was clearly a goose that laid golden eggs.
Rous clenched his hands and shivered, while the auctioneer at the counter gave him gold and silver coins. Why is the amount of money less?
“Why did you only give me 60 gold and 59 silver?” Rous asked.
The manager of the auction house smiled at Rous's question. “The amount you receive is reduced by 10 gold and 69 silver due to sales commission. There is a 15% sales commission for items with epic ratings. Thank you for using our service.”
The commission fee is 8% for normal value items and 10% for rare value items. Compared to that rate, the sales commission for items with epic ratings was simply too expensive.
'How much does the commission cost for unique items or with legendary ratings?'
Suddenly, the auction house and Mother's Heart Is Happy seemed to overlap. Exploitation is the same in reality and in Satisfy.
"Damn it. I will be a successful person who exploits the weak..."
Rous will produce a legendary item that no one else could possibly make except the Pagma Successor! Two billion users on Satisfy will be overwhelmed!
“But it is a story for the distant future. Ugh!”
Tears flowed as Rous thought of a 15% commission%. This was because he could not open the stall the day before because he had to work, so he decided to use the auction house. Once he got the money, he thought about whether he should take the train to Winston Village or not.
'I can stay here and make a lot of money with Jaffa Arrows, so do I really need to move villages?'
Rous tries to move the village because he wants to find a suitable hunting ground. However, he did not need to rely on hunting and leveling up as he could profit by making items.
'It would be better to stay here and create items all the time ...'
However, there was one thing he had to consider. It was a fact that Smith was gay!
'If I stay here alone with him... Just imagining it is horrible.'
Rous was in no hurry to hunt now, but he would be more comfortable living in a village suitable for his level. In the end, he decided to move to Winston as planned and head for the carriage. Just like last time, he started negotiating the price while armed with the saddest story.
“My sick sister is waiting for me in Winston Village.”.
"Oh no! Then I'll be gone an hour early. Get on my train!”
“But at the moment, I only have seven gold..”.
“Oh, I think you are a customer who pre-ordered. I'm sorry."
Rous's first bargaining attempt failed!
“My grandmother died the day before I was born, and the anniversary of her death is today. I have to go to Winston Village now, but I only have 7 gold and 50 silver.”.
“Um, I want to help you because of your high reputation and your situation, but it is too much to lose to visit Winston VIllage for 7 gold and 50 silver. I'm sorry."
The bargaining efforts both failed. It was the same as how humans constantly stepped on other humans.
“You should give me a chance, ah. These guys... You will realize that we are all the same!”
In the end, Rous failed to negotiate the price he wanted, so he had just boarded the cheapest train.
“Come to Winston. It should be a quick and safe trip, given the money I paid. And be friendly! You must show full hospitality. ”
“...I'd be very grateful if you didn't speak.”
Traveling always gets people excited. The bumpy train ride and the unfriendly attitude of the coachman were bad, but Rous's mood was good.
