Level Up

Ryu Ji-hye stared at the stare. I just sold two stable stones for an amazing price of 900 million each.

And I was no longer surprised to see two of the same stable stones coming out of my backpack.

It was worth 900 million won.

The merchant who just bought the stable stone was dumbstruck looking at the stall in his hand.

An unsuccessful merchant glances at the cobblestone.

You can't sell it for 900 million, but you can get close to it.

Hyun-seok sells two stable stones there, then moves on to the other side.

I sold endless cobblestones from my backpack all over the black market.

Ryu Ji-hye was really surprised that Hyun-Seok was searching for a place where he could sell horseshoes like a ghost.

It was as if he was memorizing the entire map of the black market.

The black market was considerable in size. You won't even know the way once or twice. It was not easy to find the entrance again.

I was shooting at a place that was wide and complex.

"How many people could do that?" ’

She had only three months to become a player to investigate ahead of time.

I spent almost a month with her. I've been chasing you.

But in all that time, Hyun-seok never went to the black market. No, it was surprising that there were items for sale on the black market.

The more I looked at him, the weirder he was. Ryu Ji-hye silently followed Hyundai with a half-deceased expression.

By the time Hyun-Seok was about to dispose of the stable stone, Ryu Ji-hye was curious, but asked one question that he had been patient with.

“How did you get such great horseshoes? From what I've seen, you've only continued to clear Bronze Grade 1 Dungeons? ”

The question was whether or not anyone who was with him had to watch the status quo.

If you look at the horseshoes that Hyun-Seok sold in the black market, it was mostly those that had more than 1000 magical powers.

Moreover, the last ones sold were the stalls where 2000 passed.

In order to obtain a stallion that surpasses 2,000 horsepower, you must actually go around a minimum Gold grade dungeon.

It was almost impossible to find such a stable stone in a Bronze grade dungeon.

Of course, it was not impossible at all. There have been a few similar incidents before. although, of course, it was in a country other than my own.

After all, Hyundai only hunts at the rank of Bronze, but it should come as a surprise to see the Horsemen's Stone at the rank of Gold.

So what she thought of was a different route. Perhaps there is another way to get the stable stone.

Maybe other people watching the fence are thinking the same thing.

She stares at the stone with curious eyes. Looking for answers, looking like a cat.

Hyun-Seok smiled and said.

“I have one last place left, so let's cheer up a little. ”

He showed that he had no intention of returning the message. Even Ryu Ji was not oblivious at all, so he turned his head in disappointment and slightly grumbled.

“Are you still there? ”

Hyun-seok grinned and patted the shield in his hand.

“We have to sell this. ”

Ryu Ji-hye's expression changed greatly because of his words and actions. She glances at the stone with her eyes wide open.

“You gonna sell it? Artifacts?"

“I'm not going to use it. ”

Ryu Ji-hye made a silly face. I mean, what kind of artifact would you judge by not using it on the black market? I know something's gonna happen later.

“Why don't you just keep it, in case you need it later? And you just got that. You'd better get a good look at what you're capable of and then sell it. ”

Earning artifacts doesn't mean you can write them right away. Sometimes there were cursed things. Therefore, the artifact that was not clearly identified was rather difficult to sell for a fair price.

It might have been better to sell it to the management center. They buy it at a fixed price, based on the measured magical power, without any regard for the artifact's function.

I smiled softly at Ryu Ji's sincere advice. If you check the sincerity of the opponent, it would be polite to show sincerity once again.

“I've roughly got this shield. ”

“Yes? Already? ”

Ryu Ji-hye opened her eyes wide and looked at the stone and the shield in his hand alternately.

It took me a while to properly check the performance of the artifact. It also required the ability of a professional artifact researcher.

Below the Dungeon Management Center, there was a laboratory dedicated to specializing in artifacts only. Of course, many of the researchers who were there were also herded.

Players use magical power to stimulate the artifact in a number of ways and observe the resulting changes to see how it performs.

It can also be developed to produce artifacts that have similar effects to artifacts using the items from the dungeon.

It was still a beginner phase, but later on, he knew more than anyone how powerful it would be.

After all, the easiest way to check the performance of an artifact is to purchase it from the Management Center.

You just sell what you get.

Information about artifacts stored in management centers was highly classified.

It was also another force in the management center, so it's never easy to shed.

That's why it was impossible to ask for confirmation, and it was the quickest and easiest way to get performance explained through the purchase.

So many players used to keep the artifacts they obtained in their own way.

to get information in some way later and use it if necessary.

“You didn't just use magic to check, did you? ”

Ryu Ji-hye asked with a worried expression. Sometimes there are such players. But that's how a lot of players get into big accidents.

The person who was cursed didn't come out too bored, and there were times when they did a lot of damage around them.

Hyundai shakes his head, smiling bloody.

“It's not like that, so don't worry. It's just an artifact I used to know. It's an artifact from Bronze, isn't it? ”

“That's also true. ”

Ryu Ji-hye glanced back at the shield in his hand and the sword he was wearing on his waist.

In fact, the Black Woman had seen it several times. I've seen the people who use it. It was a common sword. However, if you think of it as the same artifact because it looks the same, you will hurt your nose a lot.

Hyundai examines the shield with magical eyes.

[A shield used to stop magical attacks. It neutralizes 100 horsepower. Movement is reduced by Magical Power.]

A very simple shield. It was a shield I didn't even have a name for. Moreover, the decline in maneuverability was a fatal disadvantage when viewed by the current combat style.

So it was an artifact that was never meant to be used. It was too low.

Whereas the knife that Hyundai had was a little different.

[Sharp Steel Sword]

[A magical sword that always sharpens blades. Focuses an extra 300 Magic Hit when attacking. Effect of Agility +1 on combat with a grip.]

In fact, I first noticed that the artifact was named separately. In fact, it was natural that this information could not be seen before.

‘By the way...... It's an amazing ability. ’

The ability of the Simian skill was really unusual. It didn't seem like such a simple skill to analyze and figure it out using magic.

In fact, at first I thought it would automatically analyze and read information contained in magic and fuse it with my own memory and output information.

After going through it, it wasn't just that. There must be something deeper hidden.

‘I don't know what it is...... but I'll use it for you first. ’

Seeing Ryu's wisdom still not hiding his anxiety, Hyundai smiled once and moved on.

I can see the Watcher from afar. His face was filled with complex feelings of embarrassment, anger, and emptiness.

Hyun-seok relaxed his steps and headed to a place worth selling the artifact.

If you want to sell artifacts in the black market here, you have to go there. Everywhere else is a crook.

I was increasingly curious about Ryu Ji-hye's face who was walking next to the stone.

“Where the hell are we going? There's nothing here. ”

The black market was enormous. But not all of that vast black market was packed.

The booth was made, but even the void was easy to find.

So I also used Empty Booth's Storage in the next booth.

The place where the stone was walking was an empty booth lined up.

I didn't see anyone. It was literally empty.

So Ryu Ji-hye had to wonder. How about the Watcher who was chasing us again?

He stands far away, looking at this side with a ridiculous look on his face.

And as he entered the alley between Booth and Booth, he only moved cautiously.

Of course, I could not walk along the road openly, but moved carefully hiding in an empty booth.

Regardless, Hyun-seok managed to keep the Watcher as far away as possible, and stopped in front of the booth after several rounds.

Ryu Ji-hye looked inside the booth with surprised eyes.

“There's something like this here, too? ”

I had to be surprised. There were empty booths everywhere, but only here. Plus, everything that was filling the booth was artifact.

“Can you sell them in places like this? ”

“Of course. It's for people I know. ”

Not only that, this booth will increase in the future. At least five years later, of course, it would have been an artifact within the black market.

As Hyun-Seok entered the booth, the old man who was looking carefully inside and out gave a sharp glance.

“I've never seen him before. How did you know about this place? ”

The old man said, and he laughed.

“Why does it matter if it's the black market anyway? All you need is the stuff. ”

Look at this old man with his shield on his chin on the table. I glanced up and down the stone with my expression.

“I won't be back for a while, so it won't be much use now. You'd better take the eye patch when you come back later. ”

Lightning flashes from the old man's eyes. Ryu Ji-hye, who was beside the stone in his fierce eyes, was furious and stunned.

What is it? That grandpa? "

While Ryu Ji-hye was staring at the old man, he entered one more step with a face and attitude that did not shrink at all.

Then he tapped his finger against the shield and said:

“How much will you pay me? ”

The old man looks down at the shield and raises a finger.

“This isn't a management center and you're overpriced. ”

Look at this old man again? I grabbed the stone with my expression. But it was a face I had never seen before.

“I don't know what the hell I heard...... but I don't want to waste my money on this stupid shield. ”

Hyun-Seok smiled and nodded. He was also a yellowman. I had never actually seen his face, and even when I met him, it was five years later, but his skills seemed not so different then or now.

“As a gift. ”

“What?"

The old man stared at the stone with his eyes.

Ryu Ji-hye also looked at the old man, the stone, and the shield in alternation with her surprised eyes.

For a while, the air in the booth shifts.

The End
