Awakening After Divorce

Part 5 Strengthening

The main consumer of this [Artisan’s Street] made by [Indomitable Tower] is ‘climbers’. However, these days, it is famous as a tourist destination, so ordinary people often come.

This street is fan-shaped.

There is a pagoda in the front and mountains on either side.

In the foremost are the [General Store of Trust] and [Geothermal Blacksmith’s] run by Jihoo, and there is a large-scale store as the space gradually expands as you go to the back.

The area behind it is so wide that there are a lot of cart stalls in the middle of the road except for the sides.

“Jihoo, did you close early today?”

“I am tired. I want to take a look for a while.”

The lady at the cart sales stand specializing in low-grade scrolls recognized Jihoo first. But that was just the beginning.

“uh! Jihoo! You said you woke up? Congratulations.”

“Jihoo! What, when did you wake up! congratulations!”

“Hey, I can’t sell unidentified artifacts when Jihoo comes back, right? I will sweep away all the good things.”

“Brother, congratulations!”

“brother! Are you real? Now I can get the [Attribute Appraisal] stamp. Please accept me as your disciple!”

Jihoo greeted everyone and walked.

No matter what, it was inevitable that he was a familiar face because he was a first-year member of the street and had been growing up ever since he was young. 4 years is a waste of time.

– Your awareness is calculated.

– I made an achievement.

– [Flat feet on this street (general)]

– [Awakening Boast (Normal)]

– 20 SP will be paid.

– Retained SP: 160

“… … It’s a servant.”

Isn’t this a bit too much?

Anyway, he said that recognition was also a way to get SP. That was the reason why Jihoo even wanted to produce it.

‘To create a brand.’

I hadn’t even thought of that until now. This is because, of course, emotions and recovery cannot create a brand.

However, it is different if [production] is possible. With SP and Attributes, his production would be more special than anyone else’s.

‘It may be difficult right now, but if you build up awareness little by little, you won’t know’

That’s why Jihoo came all the way here.

“aunt. Do you have anything good? I’m going to do some production practice.”

“It’s Jihoo. Congratulations. You said you woke up~?”

“Yeah, nothing special.”

“Where is it anyway? Emotion, recovery, reinforcement related~? Are you trying to make it because it makes it easier?”

“Yes, I guess.”

Aunt Kim Mi-yeon has a soft voice and a kind smile. I’ve seen him since I was a kid, but I shouldn’t underestimate him for doing business at a cart stand.

This sales stand sells general items without magic circuits. However, she is the owner of the [Mid-level Artifact Shop] at the entrance and the [Monster By-products Distributor] on this street.

“Are you going to buy our by-products later?”

“Will I be able to do that? Just buy a finished product and add options to it.”

“Okay, then would you like to take this and this? A wand with troll ribs coated with magic slime. Will the magic stick very well? And this is an orb with a processed mana stone attached to a black orc skull. Isn’t it a trend these days to connect an orb and a wand?”

The more you listen to it, the more you become addicted to it. He smiles while extending his words, and it warms my heart.

Jihoo picked up his staff and orb and examined them. As expected, all of my aunt’s items are of high quality, and I’m sure it’s good that she chose them among them.

“great! After all, my aunt is the best!”

“so? Then, even if you become famous later, you shouldn’t forget me?”

“sure! I’ll be the first to sign!”

“good! Then, the total is 550, but give 4.5 million to DC friends and Deokdam DC~!”

Jihoo liked this neighborhood.

Under Samhyeon Group,

The rooftop of Samhyeon Artifact Headquarters.

“I’m asking you to bring your [Appraisal] to this [Tower of Unbreakable] raid, is that right?”

“Because it is. What did you take and eat like that? Does it make sense to send one of those subcontractors along with the [Knights of the Cold Cold]?”

Oh Yong-pil, the team leader of the 3rd team, made an impression as if he was dumbfounded.

It’s not just a guild, it’s the [Knights of the Cold]. Attacking the 18th floor of the famous [Tower of Unbreakable], where Choi Hye-yeon, the ‘Witch of the Dragon’s Slay’, was.

It is now known as a B-class tower, but when the tower first rose, it was a place where there was an uproar that it would be the first S-class tower.

“No, it was okay until a month ago, but the performance has dropped dramatically these days. I heard that it happened when the key appraiser left the company… … .”

“… … Is it because of that?”

“Do you have anything to pick up?”

“That, you really shouldn’t go anywhere and talk about this.”

“Chief, my name is Jin Joong. If it is reversed, it is middle ground. It’s heavy, so my mouth is heavy. Don’t you know?”

“Ah, fitting in.”

“Only I know. suck.”

Deputy Jin Joong closed his mouth.

Oh Yong-pil pretended not to win and opened his mouth.

“The president of [Hyeonjoong Appraisal] is also a cousin of the Royal Family… … .”

“Isn’t that a well-known fact? Samhyeon subcontracted to such a third-rate appraiser, and if it had not been for the appraiser from [Artisan’s Street] who was said to have resigned this time, he would not have been able to fill almost half of the subcontract… … .”

“This bastard says he has a heavy mouth, and he talks a lot.”

“Oh, suck! Closed.”

“The third member of the royal family is the president of Samhyeon Artifact. But I guess what I received from them was just a penny or two.”

“… … A kickback?”

“Yeah, I thought it wouldn’t be much of a problem since we’re cousins in the royal family, but did you know that appraisal president Hyun-joong came to our headquarters last week? There was a loud noise in the president’s office.”

“… … Are you serious?”

“I heard it from a colleague on the secretary team, so I’m sure.”

Team 3 team leader Oh Yong-pil and assistant manager Han Jin-joong’s expressions darkened.

This attack is important.

It is something that only those in the know know

At that time, the strongest hunters blocked the 18th floor to cut off the waves pouring out of the [Indomitable Tower]. But what if someone comes and breaks through the 18th floor? Again, like 20 years ago, a ruthless wave may pour out.

That’s why the [Frigid Knights] were put in.

Because the dragon slayer witch is trustworthy.

“Can we not give up on this?”

“You shouldn’t do that.”

“Even if we let go of our hands and just send our feelings, we’ll be f*cked, right?”

“Will it be okay? No matter how cold it is, the 18th floor will be a mess without an appraisal team, recovery team, and supply team.”

Simply put, it is a supply team.

Artifacts that are broken or whose durability has worn out during battle must be restored, and artifacts excavated during raids must be identified and paid quickly to maintain power.

More importantly, consumables.

It is important to catch bad potions or scrolls, but these days, as the checks between companies and guilds intensify, they sometimes do ridiculous things.

And that’s not all.

The consumables consumed in attacking the tower are enormous, and it is often necessary to obtain items locally because you do not know what will happen.

What if the scroll used at the moment of danger is defective? The entire guild could be wiped out at once.

The 3rd team of Samhyeon Artifact is responsible for all of that. Not a single hole should be tolerated.

“In the end, you have to embrace it.”

“That’s right, if this gets messed up, it’ll move us as well. It’s not something we don’t know about. Let’s pretend we don’t have as much as possible and proceed.”

“Yes, I understand. I will thoroughly mark it exclusively.”

“In moderation, work and results should be shared. That way, no words will come out from above.”

“All right. Leave that much to me!”

The next morning, morning.

Jihoo went to work early.

I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep as soon as I entered the house. It seems that the mental strength required to use the attribute is not that small.

“Shall we start strong today?”

Open windows and front doors and switch to [OPEN]. I made a cup of coffee and sat on a bench in front of the store. I see the hunters gathering in front of the [Indomitable Tower].

‘Can I climb the tower too?’

I had a sudden thought.

Among the ways to obtain SP, the most intuitive and efficient way is ‘hunting’. Also, a very good way to get the materials needed for crafting… … .

“Ah, what am I?”

Being a hunter is a job that not everyone can do.

Killed by goblin poison in the lobby on the first floor.

Killed by traps and orcs in the 2nd floor jungle.

Hanging from the cliff on the 3rd floor and becoming food for eagles.

Suffering from mental illness in the space of trials on the 4th floor.

Dying of thirst in the desert on the 5th floor, being torn apart by scorpions and centipede-type monsters rising from the sandy bottom, and being poisoned… … .

Again, Lee Hee-yeon looks amazing.

Haven’t you been climbing that kind of place for 10 years? Up to the fifth floor is her playground. You have to take risks beyond that, but if you have a good party, you can go up to the 8th floor without difficulty.

Also, nobody can do anything.

Jihoo held up the dagger he bought from Heeyeon Lee.

『Black Stone Blade [Rare – Dark] (Lv. 03)』

Description: A hard black ore extracted with a high-level smelting technique. A black dagger forged by a blacksmith with great skills. very sharp and hard

* [Lesser Durability Enhancement]

* [Enhanced Lesser Anticipation]

* [Minimum Vision Distortion]

At this point, the recovery is perfect. I bought it for 100 million, but even if I sell it right away, I can get about 1,000 more.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to recover with SP. Since it’s the beginning, there will be achievements and SP will be supplied again.’

But not right away.

Anyway, the time will soon come when consuming SP is more efficient than the 4 hours spent on recovery.

‘Right now, it’s more efficient to just strengthen by modifying the settings.’

enforce.

Usually, it refers to the act of adding a specific material or adding a magic circuit along with manufacturing. Or, there are rare but rare items such as Enchantment Stones that are sometimes sold.

If you have a lot of SP, it’s easy to add options, enhance your grade, and raise your level. However, due to Jihoo’s personality, he couldn’t help but think about efficiency.

“Let’s add silence to the properties.”

Silence.

To put it simply, it refers to a magic circuit that absorbs sound waves. It is to reduce the noise from the dagger to a minimum.

This is also from the lowest level, so it is convenient to think of it as the name of the option rather than completely silent.

– Would you like to add the [Mute] option to the dagger?

– A total of 550 SP is consumed.

Also, don’t be vague.

If it’s just silent, do you think it’s at least an intermediate level option?

– Would you like to add the [Low Silence] option to the dagger?

– A total of 150 SP is consumed.

The lower level also contains quite a lot of SP.

I thought it only cost 50SP before, but it seems that there is a clear difference depending on the type and grade of the option.

This method is inefficient.

‘I need something different.’

Although it is a black stone, it is not a metal that completely absorbs light, so some light remains. That alone contained the [Least Grade Distortion].

‘Then, let’s try this.’

『Muk-colored Silkworm Cloth [Normal – Ink(黙)] (Lv. 02)』

Description: A cloth woven with threads obtained from silkworms. It is not covered with a separate magic circuit, but if you apply a special magic circuit, you can manifest [lowest level of silence] and [lowest level of light].

* Price: KRW 3.5 million

Not a lot.

Just enough to cover the handle of the dagger. But that alone is a price of 3.5 million won. Wouldn’t this be more expensive than gold of the same weight?

“But it’s not worth that much.”

D-class hunters with power level 1 make money with this. Rather than hunting directly, I tend to ‘explore’ with minimal force for survival.

Duk Duk-

Even if you hit it with your hand, it hardly makes a sound.

If you wrap the handle of the dagger with something like this, only the handle will be invisible and the noise will be reduced, but the original option will not be created.

In order to manifest as an option, [Magic Circuit] must be engraved.

“… … I’m not that good at it.”

I know the circuit.

I’ve done it a few times. However, since it is crude and unprofessional, it is not certain whether silence and matte will be expressed at the lowest level.

But try it once.

‘Rather than using SP on a piece of cloth that has nothing, it would be much better to carve it down to the lowest level and modify it with SP.’
