Super Equipment
Chap 22's
...~•~...
The train departed in the afternoon and arrived at Winston Village the following morning. Winston Village is amazingly big for its name. Four times larger and more active than Bairan Village, Winston Village was comparable to the fortified city of Patrian!
When Rous paid the coachman 8 gold and 90 silver, he asked for proper customer service from the coachman.
"I have one question."
"Ask me. I'll tell you what I know.”
"Why isn't Winston called a city?"
“At first, it was a smaller village than Bairan. However, there are many places suitable for beginner and intermediate level travelers nearby. As these places became famous, the number of visitors to Winston gradually increased. There are rumors that it will be upgraded to a city in the near future if this trend continues. I heard that Earl Steim's heir will be sent as the new master ... It will be called a city, but I don't know exactly when it will happen. "
'Ell Steim? Where have I heard that name before?' Rous has trouble remembering because he goes through so many things at once.
"Well, it has nothing to do with me."
'Now, should I start?'
Rous headed to the warehouse administration. After he alerted the manager of the registration number and password to his warehouse, the administrator reached out his hand. The meaning of the gesture was for Rous to give him a tip.
'Damn 'Damn. I have to pay just to use the warehouse?' Rous handed over 30 silver with trembling hands.
The administrator checked the number and started chanting while drawing a small circle with a magic wand. Then a small warehouse was summoned before Rous used space magic and teleportation.
The warehouse is empty. Rous had sold all of his japtem to buy potions in Earl Ashur's three-month Mission. At first, Rous had been playing Satisfy for a year, but there was only dust in his warehouse now.
° Japtem - Used to describe in-game items that are not materials, tools (equipment), etc. I think it's basically all random loot.°
“Ugh... in the real world and in the game...”.
He opened his inventory in frustration.

Rous wanted to ignore this reality, but this was the complete contents of his inventory. So, he tried to put the Great Mammon Sword and Mengel Plate Armor into his inventory to reduce the weight of his possessions.
“I haven't appraised Mammon's Great Sword or Mengel's Plate Armor.”
[Hidden function does not exist.]
[You have comprehended the materials that make up the Great Mammon Sword, the production method, and the intentions of its creator.]
[Your understanding of the Great Mammon Sword is now at 33%.]
[Hidden function does not exist.]
[You have understood the materials that make up the Mengel Plate Armor, the production methods, and the intentions of its creator.]
[Your understanding of the Mengel Plate Armor now stands at 65%.]
Rous's current stats meant that he did not meet the requirements to use the Mammon Great Sword and the Mengel Plate Armor. Due to the resulting penalty, the Great Mammon Sword experienced a 30% decrease in attack power while the Mengel Plate Armor had a 20% decrease in defense%. However, his comprehension had now increased dramatically.
[Because of the characteristics of your class, you have equipped the Great Mammon Sword.]
[Penalty applied due to unfulfilled item condition.]
[The attack power of the Great Mammon Sword will be reduced by 20%. Only half of the option effect will be applied.]
[Your understanding of the Great Mammon Sword is high so the punishment is reduced.]
[Due to the characteristics of your class, you have equipped the Mengel Plate Armor.]
[Penalty applied due to unfulfilled item condition.]
[Mengel Plate Armor Defense will be reduced by 8%. Only half of the option effect will be applied.]
[Your understanding of Mengel's Plate Armor is high so the punishment is reduced.]
“Hah.”
As understanding increases, the punishment decreases. The Great Mammon Sword now had 143~240 attacks, and the Mengel Plate Armor had 152 defenses. The choice was still half applied, but it was fun as the sentence was reduced.
Nevertheless, Rous is unhappy unconditionally. He had a 100% understanding with an axe and a pickaxe, but his understanding of the Mammon Great Sword and the Mengel Plate Armor was too low. That was really disappointing.
"I'd rather go higher."
Well, Rous doesn't have to be too hasty. He could improve comprehension by dismantling, refining, and using items, so it would be resolved over time.
“Come try to fix.”
Right now, the Mammon Great Sword and the Mengel Plate Armor had low endurance, but Rous could use his Legendary Iron-Switch Repair skill to increase the comprehension of these two items.
Later then...
[Repair tools needed.]
"Ah, a separate repair tool is needed?"
'What is a repair tool? Fuck those! My money! The money! The money!'
During Rous's days as a warrior, he lacked repair skills, so he always needed to refine the items in NPC blacksmiths. Therefore, Rous did not know something like a repair tool was needed.
'No wonder why the repairs were so expensive!'
He could delay the item repair until the next time. However, this was the warehouse that he had thrown away 30 silver to open. If he closed the warehouse and went to buy repair tools, 30 silver would fly!
In the end, Rous dissipated his anger and left the Great Mammon Sword and Mengel Plate Armor in the warehouse. The cost of equipment storage was 10 silver per item. It's a scary expense.
"The world is a thief ..."
Spend 30 silver to open the warehouse and then 10 silver to put the items in it...! Mother's Heart Is Happy (a kind of credit card), the auction house, and the warehouse administrator, they are all criminals in Rous's eyes.
"50 my silver..50 my silver...!"
50 Silver is 600 won in cash. That's enough to buy 200 milliliters of milk, which can eliminate its thirst and simultaneously make the bones sturdy. Rous kept two items that weighed quite a lot.
“Sialan..” Hands shaking.
After glaring at the warehouse administrator who was politely saying goodbye to him, Rous headed to the square. There was a wide variety of people in the square, from beginners who had just created their characters to Players wearing level 100 equipment. People are moving to adapt to virtual reality. There are people looking for parties, buying or selling things, and sharing searches, as well as beggars, couples, and people who just enjoy the scenery. All kinds of people look.
Rous stood still and observed them. Beginner players mostly use East Street, while average level players mostly use South Street. The West and North roads are favored by everyone, regardless of their level. East Street contains NPCs that provide beginner Missions and lead to hunting grounds that are best suited for them. Meanwhile, the south had Missions and hunting grounds suitable for average-level Players. The western and northern parts are areas that cover all levels. They were basically an area filled with shops.
"The blacksmith may be in the west or north."
As Rous came to this conclusion while observing the people, a notification window appeared.
[Insights increased 1.]
Insight statistics can be used to detect objects or predict risk. However, he had yet to see its performance, so he did not know if this stat was really useful.
"Well, every raise is good."
Rous did not feel much inspiration as he explored West Street and East Street. However, he later found a blacksmith on East Street. The outside of the building is huge. It was a two-story building, making it incomparable to the small workshop in Bairan Village. Unlike Smith who worked alone in Bairan Village, this workshop seemed to have dozens of blacksmiths working together.
'The leader of dozens of blacksmiths should be at least a mid-level blacksmith?'
If so, he would recognize Rous and treat him well. Unlike Bairan Village, Rous would learn how to make items in a good environment.
Rous entered the workshop excitedly while imagining the energetic sound of the hammer and the hot heat. However, the workshop he entered looked gloomy. He could not hear the sound of any hammers, and there was no indication of people around him.
“A-What?” Rous looked around in confusion and saw a distended-bellied man sleeping in a corner with an empty alcohol bottle beside him.
Rous did not know if the potbellied man was sleeping or dead, so he approached the man calmly and woke him up.
"Hey. Hey!"
“...Eh? What's?"
Fortunately, the potbellied man did not die. He made an annoyed expression and opened his eyes.
Then he turned towards me and asked, “What did you come here for?”
“I want to learn how to make the best selling goods in this village. Can I get your help? ”
The old man looked at Rous with a mocking expression. “This place is long over. After the Mero Company bought the blacksmith shops and commercial areas, they sold large quantities of goods at low prices, so customers turned away from this place. Yet you came here to learn how to make stuff? Are you sure you want to perish with me?”
Right at that moment... The workshop door opened, and a group of rude-looking people rushed in.
“Hey, Old Man! You still haven't decided? Will you hand over this building to us? Can't you buy alcohol every day until you die? ”
... What's the matter this time? Rous felt like he was now caught up in another troublesome incident.
