Alchemist Yuki's Strategy

"... it hurts"

Walking down a dark path while wearing a bloody knee.

I drank the beginner's potion, but it has not fully healed.

The deep wound is almost blocked, but there is bleeding from the shallow wound or where it has not healed.

Even if the wound is healed by the potion, the pain is relieved and she walks hiccup to protect herself.

We're almost there. A little patience after that.When I heard that, I was distracted from the pain and soon arrived in the crystal hall.

Conditionally reflective things make you feel comfortable with the blue light.

The automatic healing effect causes the pain to drain gradually and the wound to heal.

"Phew...."

First of all, I feel safe.

Looking around again, it was unusual that there was not a single person.

Normally, there are players and NPCs... well, it seems that the Great Swordsman said something on the bulletin board, and sometimes he said that about NPCs.

Hmm?

I noticed it when I approached the crystal side wondering if the effect would increase at all.

Next to the stairs leading to the ground... there is an unfamiliar light.

- The door.

"... new elements? But why at this time?"

The Great Swordsman was gathering people because of the Labyrinth... Did you clear anything?

Well, anything. Let's go see for ourselves.

He hung his hand on both wooden doors with windows and pushed them open.

It was... a near-future store (...).

White lights from the ceiling illuminate the store brightly, and light sources like lined showcases and spotlights add a sense of luxury.

What I was selling there...

"... card...?"

Arranged in a glass showcase, it was a card with a picture of the monster.

Below the case is the product name and price tag.

"Monster Summon Board (Monster Card)... Tamer item?The price is 1, 10, 100... 30,000...?Well, well, don't... "

There's nothing I can't buy, but if I buy some, my earnings won't fly for a while.

Looking closely, the cards are mostly decorated on the wall shelves, and the few things in the big glass showcase are... or arranged for some explanation.

"... eh?"

The rounded mark on the top right is the attribute of the monster?It's just a circle with no attributes.The upper left mark... is there a soul? What do you mean by that?

The monster whose picture in the middle is summoned, the lower right is the level of the monster, and the lower left is the duration? What the hell.

Other showcases described how to refill magic for reuse, how to raise the level of monsters, how to evolve, and how to add souls.

Well, I see.

In short, a time-limited helper that can be used many times.

I don't know...

"... what the hell is adding souls...?"

"Questions?"

"Eh!?"

Looking back, there was a beauty with black hair.

... you weren't there... no, were you...?... strange, I was there, but I didn't recognize you as a person...?

"Questions?"

"Ah, ahh... excuse me. That's right... I don't know what it means to add this soul..."

I'm at the counter, so I think it's the clerk.Still beautiful... this must be the NPC.

I asked the question because I thought I would get a hint, but the NPC of the black beauty answered me easily.

"What is adding souls? Basically, it's an addition to the storage device.The monsters that were originally generated on the Monster Summon Plate (Monster Card) are reset upon extinction, but by doing so, the same individuals will be generated the next time they are generated. "

"... is it like borrowing or buying?"

It's expensive on the street. Well, it's about double the amount.

But it seems pointless to just remember...

"In addition to being able to name it, you will also be able to increase your skill level."

That's important.

It's important to develop your skills.It's not about doubling the price.

... but... even if there's a memory device or my skill level goes up... if I don't listen to you, then there's no point...

"... can you instruct me?"

"As a basic function, I comply with orders.There may be some blur depending on the species, but it may be said that it has a common memory and understanding.What you can do depends on that kind of flesh, specifically if you say you can fly to a bird, but you can't fly to a fish. "

"Hoo...?"

... that means... You mean the perfect super-compatibility of summoning without listening or subordination without taming?

... no, there's no time limit... but when I die, it's over.

View the shelves and chisels.There are insects, plants, slimes and spirits from dogs and cats on land?In addition to the traditional fish, there were also fish.

Of particular interest are shark and dolphin monster cards.

But... expensive. 50,000 for both.The lowest one is 10,000 for the slime, so maybe that's all I can use... 200,000 for the soul addition... MC is a little short.

"... you can also exchange kingdom currencies."

"Ah, ahh...."

But that's because I'm going to charge you a fee...

"Incidentally, you are the first customer to open a store, so if you buy, we will give you this card holster."

That said, it came out of nowhere with a little back with a belt.

"This card holster holds up to 50 Monster Cards and up to 500 Elemental Stones of all kinds, usually sold at 100,000 MC."

"Can I exchange it for you?Upgrade your sharks, dolphins, and cards to add souls. "
