15. Enhancement Systems

Woojin looks at the items here and there and sees the options carefully.

“Excuse me, can I take a look at this? ”

“Of course!”

The store owner gladly said yes when he saw the expensive items. It wasn't worn out by looking through expensive items, it was a significant advantage for him if he bought them.

Ujin frowns as he looks across the metal armor.

‘Quite... heavy?' ’

His shoulders sag, weighing more than 20 kilograms.

‘I can't hunt all day wearing this...' ’

He lowers his armor, thinking like that.

“I'm sorry...... Is there anything other than these heavy things? ”

“Looking for leather? ”

“Leather is fine, but I want to find something as strong as possible. ”

“Well…… in that case, it's mixed with leather. And of course, movement is quite convenient. It's less defensive than metal, but it's a significant advantage. ”

“Really? Can you show me that? ”

Karma brought out one item and showed it.

[Immortal Chest Armor]

DP: 134

Main Attribute: HP +400.

* Vitality +40.

Option: All Traits DP +20.

* Strength +10.

Huh?

He looked at the items carefully and could see something completely new.

This is because the item had stats that you have not seen so far attached. Moreover, the stats were marked with an '*’, so I could clearly see it. What was unusual was that those stats were the same name as the stats in the character's ability of right.

What is this? It's a sign you've never seen before, isn't it? Do you have any other items? ’

Woojin immediately told the owner.

“If you don't mind, could you show me some other items as well? ”

“Of course!”

Karma immediately started showing me other expensive items. And I could see the same ‘*’ sign on those items.

“Excuse me…… can you describe this item for me? ”

That said, the owner started to explain the item with a smile on his face.

“This item is called Immortal Chest Defense Gear and has the same HP as its attribute defense. So it's becoming a very expensive trade. The leather and metal combination also weighs only five grams. So it's a popular item with the top talent. ”

“I see……. Do you have any enhanced powers or anything? ”

“Yes? Power? Haha, customer. I think you've seen too many cartoons. Items don't do anything to boost their strength. ”

From what he said, I knew one thing for sure. In the case of '*’, the employer or others cannot verify. It means that it is unique only to Woojin.

“I see……. ”

He starts looking carefully at the other items he showed. However, there were many such items that had nothing to do with the superiority of the options, and there were also many stats with strength and agility.

‘Maybe it's a mixture of metal and leather? There are no options for items with wisdom or intelligence……. ’

It was a shame, but I couldn't help Woojin.

And it was too late, so it was hard to go around other stores anymore.

‘Yes...... Let's do this today. And in the future, you might want to use a lot more nerve about items. ’

Woojin, who thought so, decided to buy 'Immortal Chest Armor.'

“What is the price of this? ”

“Ah! Would you like to use this? This is a popular item for advanced talent, and it costs 103 million won. ”

“Huff!! ”

The owner looks embarrassed to see him in surprise. Then I spoke to Woojin in a calm tone again.

“It's a bit expensive... but I can give you 10 million won discount. ”

“Well, is that so? ”

There was nothing to say for more than 100 million. However, it was not a big problem because I was able to talk to my parents and swipe the card.

‘Hmm... It's a bit surprising...... How expensive can a better item be than this? ’

I wanted to see better items, but I decided to see them.

The item came out of the box well packed, and Ujin took it home.

‘Phew... You're throwing away more than 100 million in one room...... Even though it's money you can make after two or three days of hard work...... ’

Woojin is making quite a lot of money hunting monsters day and night these days. But 100 million was a big deal to him. The problem is that even this large amount is now an internal currency that can be paid without trembling. And as the old doublet used to say, he didn't feel for himself that the average part of the money was growing.

When Woojin returned home, he greeted his father and mother who were studying hard about the restaurant and entered his room.

Then I unpacked the box and pulled the item out.

“So... shall we proceed? ”

Woojin is about to attempt a reinforcement system for the first time.

After eye-checking the item, Eugene once again checks the status of the item.

[Immortal Chest Armor]

DP: 134

Main Attribute: HP +400.

* Vitality +40.

Option: All Traits DP +20.

* Strength +10.

“Hmm… how different will it be? ”

Then he sighed deeply.

“Item Enhancements! ”

The ‘Immortal Chest Armor' that he saw illuminated once. Then I heard a message in my head.

< You have successfully enhanced the Immortal Chest Armor item. >

The message clearly communicated what items were successful. And Woojin rechecked the successful immortal chest armor items.

[Immortal Chest Armor +1]

DP: 134 +13

Main Attribute: HP +400 +40.

* Vitality +4.

Optional: All Attribute DP +2.

* Strength +10.

The item was labeled ‘+1’. And all the numbers were more numeric at the same time as' + ’, which probably meant that the number increased as the item was strengthened.

“Has it increased by 10% overall? ”

The numbers all add up to 10%, which is quite a big difference. If these items were originally sold in stores, they were more likely to be sold at a higher price than Woojin had bought.

“The only difference between me and the effect of this plus is…… Should I go to the item store and check again? ”

He wanted to try to enhance the second item right away, but he had to be careful until he could confirm all of this.

I left school the next day and visited the item store early before there was an attack party hunt. And I asked the owner there.

“Excuse me, is there somewhere you can get the feeling about the item? ”

“The feeling of the item? Of course, by the way, even if you try to sell items second-hand, you can't sell them without emotion. ”

“Oh, really? So where do you get your emotions? ”

Woojin went to the place the owner told him.

Currently, there was only one army in Seoul that could be sold as second-hand through item sentiment.

The item's performance could not be ascertained by the words of the item store, so many doubters were able to distinguish between the emotions of the item they had purchased and whether it was genuine or not.

There, Eugene said.

“I'm sorry, can I get a sense of the item? ”

“Of course. Is that the armor? ”

“Yes.”

Ujin hands him his armor. And he put the item in one piece of equipment.

It looked like equipment for repairing items, but it was equipment for checking the performance of items through Magic Stone.

Magic Stone is not needed as it consumes less Magical Power than the equipment used to repair it. But emotion must also cost as much as a fee.

I finished feeling in a shorter time than repairs.

“Here are the emotions. ”

Instead of being printed on a computer on a monitor, the emotion was printed on the printer's paper, so I could see it all at once. And you can take this emotion and go to a thrift store and sell items.

Woojin paid a price and read the emotions. I also learned that emotion is not an insult to the existing immortal chest armor, but an enhanced insult to it.

"I knew it! If I enhanced it, my emotions would be the same as what I see!" Then……! ’

And the other thing that I learned from it is that the "*" sign is not confirmed by emotion either. It was only visible to him. This alone allowed him to assume a very wide range of items to be chosen.

Woojin immediately headed to a quiet cafe. There was still time before the attackers were summoned, and I thought I could apply one or two more enhancements to the enhanced items.

‘I'd like to enhance my weapons...... but at the moment, reinforcing my armor one or two more times shouldn't be a bad idea! ’

I put the item on the table in the café and look at it. And he said in a quiet tone.

“Item Enhancements! ”

Sparkle!

The item glitters again.

< You have successfully enhanced the Immortal Chest Armor item. >

Then another message of success appeared. Woojin reconfirmed the item with the message.

[Immortal Chest Armor +2]

DP: 134 +50

Main Attribute: HP +400 +120.

* HP +40 +12.

Option: All Attribute DP +20 +6.

* Strength +10 +3.

With the second successful enhancement, the overall figure rose by 30%.

‘Discarding the decimal point, 30% of the figures have risen...' The problem is that according to the existing figures, the item's performance has increased? That means buying better items and enhancing them will do the trick, right? ’

I've noticed that item enhancements increase performance by a percentage based on the performance of existing items.

That said, if you buy an item with 500 HP and enhance it, you will get a bigger figure than immortal chest defense gear with 400 HP.

‘This... I don't think it's a good idea to blow up 2 enhancements...'... But it was better. At this rate, it would be helpful for me to save up and buy really good items to enhance. You should save the 3 remaining enhancements. ’

He thought about it and touched the enhanced item.

They did not realize that the performance of the items that seem to have become shiny is much more than a hundred and fifty thousand even if they were sold at the current junior high.

As he hunts monsters, he checks his character's status. I also learned that his life span is now well over 3,000.

Since the moment he wore immortal chest armor, his vitality stats have doubled as well as his vitality stats.

"This is crazy...... This sounds like a second chance for monsters in Class B, right? If you get attacked at least once, it will be quite shocking...... but if it's class C...? ’

That made him feel like he wanted to be attacked by a class C. And his thoughts gradually began to move into practice.
