Awakening After Divorce

Chapter 89: The Eggshell

Hyeong-bae kept looking at one of the potions Ji-hoo gave him. Except for the time to eat and sleep, I was only immersed in potions.

It’s definitely a potion with Jihoo’s characteristics. It’s usually true that you can’t find anything. Because the [Attribute] itself is a [Transfer].

However, even if the miracle was applied and completely changed the molecular structure of the potion, it meant that something had changed in the end.

[weakness transition].

It is a characteristic specialized for alchemy.

It is a characteristic of Hyung-bae, and it can be said that he is the main character who made absurd potion-making skills at a young age.

Ordinary alchemists have to purify certain herbs through dozens of treatments to extract the desired medicine. This is one of the most difficult processes when making potions.

However, [Weakness Transition] omits that process. You can pick up a certain herb and take out the ‘weakness’ as ‘intangible’.

A fraudulent trait that can add it at any point in the manufacturing process. That’s why Hyung-bae can follow this potion that Ji-hoo converted into a [Attribute].

‘I just need to find it.’

A very faint ray of light found in the darkness where no light seemed to enter. Hyeong-bae dug into it tenaciously.

Out of tens of thousands of alchemy materials, 482 were selected, and lines were lined up based on the possibility of even 0.1%.

From here on, it was a series of iterative combinations.

No matter how many [characteristics] you have and how many [talents] you have by that characteristic, it doesn’t matter. The ‘feeling’ and ‘knowledge’ created through long-term experience are useless here.

‘There are a total of 35,200 combinations, and I have no choice but to try them in order with a high probability.’

Time passed just like that.

The cost of the materials used by Hyeong-bae is already in the billions. He had poured all the money he had earned from the potion he had recently made with Jihoo.

It is also possible because it is a hyungbae.

Up until now, the amount that it would have taken an ordinary alchemist five years to create the combination that Hyeongbae had put together.

“Not enough.”

I needed money.

You just need to complete it. If you just find the recipe, you don’t need to go through Jihoo’s [Trait]. Besides, this is one [Elixir], but since it is made based on a normal potion, the cost is bound to be much cheaper.

‘As long as it’s within this recipe.’

It’s possible that it isn’t.

I’m sure Hyung-bae’s [talent] doesn’t have that possibility, but people don’t know. If not, then only the materials used so far will be blown away.

But nonetheless, it’s worth the challenge.

‘This is a revolution.’

It is not difficult to find an elixir in this day and age. If it’s a low-level or intermediate-level elixir, it’s constantly being produced.

The problem is the price.

Because of the resale price, we have no choice but to receive at least 1 billion won. And if the material is reduced and rare, the price will rise even more.

『Upper Intermediate Magical Strengthening Potion [Magical/Recovery] (Lv. 07)』

: Magical enhancement potion with unknown power added. All magic-related effects permeate the user’s body, and when the magic ability is 60 or less, the magic ability is permanently increased by 3.

– [Intermediate Magical Enhancement (Permanent)]

* Producer: Hyeongbae

* Appraiser: Jihoo Shin

* Basic appraised value: 1.2 billion

‘The price will come down, and there will be no risk of disappearing due to material exhaustion.’

That’s it.

If many hunters become stronger and the threat from monsters decreases, I am satisfied with that. My older brother answered the phone.

“Oh, it’s Jihoo. Would you like to come and buy some potions?”

If it’s simply to make money, you can spend a few days selling recovery potions or abnormal status recovery potions.

However, even a flawed potion will become a perfect potion if it passes through Jihoo’s hands. Or you could make a ridiculous potion like this one.

For various reasons, Hyeong-bae decided to sell the potion to Ji-hoo. Of course, I was thinking of giving it away as if it were given almost free.

‘I have debt, and I only need to pay for the re-rule.’

* * *

Firecrackers exploded in Jihoo’s head.

[Options] are not all combinations of materials and magic circuits. The time and story of the material. Beliefs and miracles are also involved.

Of course, this magic stone has little effect.

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist at all. [Convergence] combined those options into one. It does not simply combine, but while merging, it leaves volume, eliminates conflicts between options, and creates synergy.

Literally, it was an optimal design.

‘This is intuition beyond genius-‘

Jihoo was shocked.

He created A-grade talent and was obsessed with his own talent. While studying magic books, he didn’t use [Understanding], he did magic manifestations himself, and he was even more excited after getting a magic pen.

However, the magic world Jihoo knew was nothing. That calculated [transgression] penetrated his brain.

“under.”

He sat like that for a while.

Should I call this enlightenment? It’s not like you’ve gained anything or improved your skills. I just realized my own limits.

– Cannot fully understand the subject.

– [Intelligence] is insufficient.

– [Spirit] is insufficient.

– [Talent] is insufficient.

– Current understanding: 5%

“… … Only 5%.”

Jihoo was frustrated, but at the same time saw the light.

He talked about the qualities of a [Great Wizard] with only his talent, but he was delighted with the fact that that was not the end.

‘I’ve become a wizard too.’

In the world, they are also called [addicts]. It’s because they are crazy about magic, like a zombie staring at the numbers with blank eyes in a casino.

Set a goal and get there.

However, they are frustrated because there is no place to climb higher, and they cheer and rejoice when they discover a higher place. That’s the life of an addict.

Jihoo’s gaze turned to the [spiritual body].

snap.

Holding it, Jihoo stepped out of the general store.

And the place I immediately ran to was where Aunt Miyeon was.

“Is Jihoo here?”

“Yes, aunt. I’m going to ask for an appraisal.”

“Oh, feelings~? Our Jihoo should be almost S-class now, is there anything we can’t do yet~?”

“I am still far away.”

Then, he took out [Unknown Elemental Body (Lv. 07)] from his bosom. It is nothing but a broken stone.

“Hmm.”

“This is it, I didn’t know at all. I will definitely pay the 4% appraiser fee.”

“Ho-ho, give it to me~”

She picked up the [Spiritual Body] and looked around. At times like this, Aunt Miyeon’s eyes change. It looks like looking into the eyes of a wise man half-opened, but it is so deep that you can’t understand the inside.

She put her hand on it and stayed there for a while.

“You got something good. I won’t risk it. It has great power, but it is not yet something you can touch.”

Aunt Miyeon’s tone changed.

It was a firm tone, as if scolding Jihoo.

“I know that your magic skills have improved a lot. Still, it will be far from enough. Are you still thinking about making this yourself?”

Jihoo nodded his head and replied.

“Yes, if it is not dangerous. Even if the performance drops, I want to touch it slowly.”

“Yeah, that’s how you improve your skills. Give it a try. Appraisal value is 15 billion. If you are thinking of selling after depositing 4%, tell this aunt~”

“Huh, does it go that far?”

“Here, the appraisal.”

flutter –

I received the appraisal she gave me.

『Magic Elemental Body [Magic/Fire] [Treasure] [Lv. 09]』

: It is the eggshell of the red dragon, the master of magic a long time ago. The egg was shattered by an unknown attack, but because it possessed pure and pure magical power, it remembered all the years and became a magical elemental body.

*[Advanced Magical Accumulation]

*[Advanced Magic Amplification]

*[Low Elemental (ago)]

“… … this.”

Jihoo was so surprised that his hands trembled.

I heard only words. No, it is a trace of the [Red Dragon] that exists only in legends. Some might say that it’s just an [eggshell], but it’s a real dragon, not just a [drake] or [sub-drake] mixed with [dragon blood].

It is a [treasure] in itself.

“Yes, it is a dragon. It must be just a trace that was buried a long time ago in a dimension other than Earth. With just that, this elemental body won’t run out of mana.”

It is certainly.

This is a material that Jihoo cannot touch. No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was completed by itself.

Rather, if Jihoo touches, the option will be downgraded, and its value may be damaged and irreversible.

‘It’s to this extent that Sotheby’s couldn’t appraise it, and it didn’t work even with my browsing.’

I understand now.

Seeing this, they say that the [rate] is different.

Once again, I feel the greatness of Aunt Mi-yeon, who has appraised this treasure at a glance. I knew it, but after all, the S rank is amazing.

Of course, among the S ranks, Aunt Miyeon has overwhelming skills.

“thank you. In a way, even 15 billion is cheap.”

“In terms of academic value, yes. However, if you look at options or processing possibilities, 15 billion is appropriate. Pure dragon blood is great, but it’s just an eggshell.”

“Still, if it’s advanced magic amplification… … That alone will turn the wizards’ eyes upside down.”

“Well, that’s it too.”

[Advanced Magical Amplification]

: Infinitely deep power. Magical ability increases with pure magic.

*When magic ability is 90 or less, +5

*When magic ability is 80 or less, +7

*When magic ability is 60 or less, +15

*When magic ability is 40 or less, +20

literally awesome

Jihoo’s magic ability was 33, so it was judged to be less than 40, so he had a total of 53 magical power.

As options are applied just by holding this in hand, even if you don’t make [Orbs] with this elemental body right away, it will be of great help in production.

‘Is this the sixth sense possessed by super senses?’

I hoped

I even did it

But it was real.

As soon as Jihoo returned to the grocery store, he used [Understanding] on the [Magic Elemental Body]. I got dizzy at once, and I even checked the understanding of the system phrase 0.5% that everything was lacking.

‘Let’s understand a little bit every day.’

It will take a long time, but at some point, if Jihoo understands the [magical elemental body] that dwells in this [eggshell], and his magic skills reach the highest level, he may be able to create a [Legend] rank next to [Treasure].

* * *

the next morning.

Jihoo opened the door early.

tuk tuk-

Shaking off the dust, he watches the hunter climbing the tower. Today, too, there are many people. I could believe that the 2nd and 3rd floor hideouts were used and managed by the [Frigid Knights] and [Support Team].

again-

Jihoo made coffee.

Certainly, coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is not good for health, but the taste that awakens this spirit is the best.

In particular, since there is a stove next to it, it is warm enough to eat an iced americano. It feels like opening the windows and turning on the boiler in winter.

smart.

A guest came outside.

Jihoo smiled and said hello.

[Emotion] There were a lot of customers these days. Since there are a lot of climbing hunters, there are a lot of unidentified artifacts.

And most of the unidentified artifacts brought here are items stolen by goblins or orcs after being used by other hunters.

smart.

“long time no see. Jihoo.”

“Anya Taylor.”

It was her.

Blonde with a white face. The high nose and large eyes are definitely pretty. The first guest opened his eyes wide and was surprised.

“wait a minute. From the first guests.”

“Yes, please take it slow. I’ll be looking at some stuff.”

It didn’t take long.

It was a level 4 accessory, and Jihoo understood it at a glance and filled out an appraisal. And I didn’t forget to stamp it.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing. It’s not a monarch story, a labyrinth has occurred. It’s a small labyrinth, but I think it will grow quickly.”

“… … .”

“I came here to ask a question. Also, Alexid sent me a letter, so I’ll deliver that as well. It’s real!”

If it had been Jihoo in the past, he would have refused mercilessly. But now it was different. There was a fraudulent mental characteristic of [never collapsed], and there was also a [silent darkness].

With the danger gone, I thought of something else.

‘curious.’

And it was expected.
