Jun-woo looked around the six items again and spoke.

“The item’s value is about 130 billion won, and the promotion stone is 30 billion of that.”

“Huh?”

“I heard that discovery is important in hidden dungeons, but places like this emphasize solving more than discovery, which lowers the reward for discoverers.”

“Yeah… ….”

“Thank you for calling, but if I hadn’t been able to solve the problem, you and I would have been here just like the corpses I saw while coming here.”

“Yeah… ….”

“Fortunately, the problem has been solved, and the reward is the promotion stone that everyone dreams of. If I become a former alchemist, it becomes an unnecessary item, but it is 30 billion gold when sold. Gold is a necessary part for me, and there is an ambiguous corner to leave to those who contribute 3%.”

The former item was an unnecessary item for Junwoo to think about.

“How can I not… ….”

Kim Deok-Cheol looked at Jun-woo with wide-eyed eyes.

“Still, since you are a discoverer, I will give you a choice. After I sell the promotion stones, I get 3 billion gold from me, which is the same amount of gold as my contribution, or I will give it up and pay back 20 billion gold, the difference with the order book.”

“Come on. I’ll pay you back. I will pay you back.”

It was an obvious answer.

Because the grade of a job cannot be bought with money.

“It’s a verbal contract, but you have to be prepared if you break it.”

“Never, never… It will never happen.”

If Jun-woo becomes an alchemist through the Book of Changes, he will become a unique class of occupations.

If you get caught by someone like that, you will have to live with anxiety even if you say you became Epic+.

Above all, 20 billion gold was not an amount that Epic+ could not repay.

Jun-woo put the rest of the rewards into the item window, except for promotion stones.

In the beginning, Jun-woo did not have a promotion seat of his choice.

Although it is said to be 30 billion won, gold could be earned as much as possible in the future.

However, special binding orders that can only be obtained from hidden pieces cannot be bought with money.

I don’t know when he will repay it, but he was satisfied with the 20 billion gold.

Jun-woo put six rewards one by one into the item window.

The first thing I put in was the ‘Book of Changes.’

[Book of Alchemist Change]

-Class: Unique

-Effect: You can become a unique class alchemist.

-Item value: 50,000,000,000

A phrase came to mind when I contemplated whether I should sell it to a gold shop.

[If you use the Book of Alchemist Change, the job will not change, and only the knowledge related to the Alchemist will be acquired through this book.]

Relevant knowledge.

It was the knowledge that could enable a beginner to become a swordsmanship master and a person who could not make it into a golden hand.

There is a saying that it is the shoulder of a giant.

It meant that we could see the world farther and broader thanks to the knowledge that someone had accumulated.

The knowledge of the Alchemist in this book, the wisdom, and skill that cannot be measured in time could be contained.

I thought it would be of great help to my production activities, so Jun-woo quickly gave up the idea of selling it.

Jun-woo, who took all the rest of the rewards, said.

“Take it.”

Jun-woo left a promotion seat as promised.

“T-thank you!”

As a final reward, it was Kim Deok-Cheol, who obtained the second-highest prize.

It was the reward he needed the most above all else.

“Ahh… T-thank you, thank you so much! I will treat you as a benefactor for the rest of my life. Thank you.”

Kim Deok-Cheol grabbed the golden stone with trembling hands.

Epic + level 90 is the highest, and even if you breathe, it gradually rises to level 80 over time.

Tears of joy and unknown joy flowed from his eyes.

‘I’m Epic… I’m Epic… honey… Doyeon-ah… ….’

Kim Deok-Cheol shed tears and repeated the words of thanks to Jun-woo countless times.

“Thank you. Thank you.”

“No. It’s a deal.”

Inscriptions were engraved on the wall.

[To give up that precious thing to only 3%!]

Jun-woo looked at the wall and said as if he was puzzled.

“Can we talk?”

[Come in.]

There was a door through the silver iron wall through which people could enter.

Kim Deok-Cheol looked at it with a surprised face, and Jun-woo went inside with a puzzled face.

As Jun-woo entered, the door quickly closed and filled.

There were various mechanical arms and legs made of titanium in a space made of silver on all sides.

There was a table full of things like chemical instruments used by scientists.

And in front of him stood an old, deep-eyed goblin wearing a robe.

“What is your name?”

“I am Junwoo Lee. What about it?”

“I can’t remember your name.”

“Where are you?”

“In the space of consciousness? What did you ask for in our conversation?”

“Because the solution to the problem is wrong. What was the correct answer?”

“It was a simple matter with only three gears removed.”

Subtracting 3 out of thousands was a bad hobby.

Jun-woo shook his head slightly with a shallow sigh and looked up at one of the mechanical arms lying on the floor.

“Were you interested in alchemy?”

“Because of Captain. I am somewhat interested in things related to minerals.”

“So, you got it right. Even so, the last problem wouldn’t have been easy… When are you planning to use the Book of Changes?”

“I’m going to use it after I sleep.”

Jun-woo was very tired.

Jun-woo thought that the knowledge he would gain would be more effective when his head was clear.

“If you don’t get enough sleep, you’ll be tired. But if you had read that book, you wouldn’t have given up on promotions.”

“Is that so?”

“Because I’ve been looking all my life. But I didn’t get it.”

“Did you have one?”

“God gave it to you, not me.”

“If it’s God… then okay… ….”

The God who he was talking about was probably the system.

As Jun-woo knew, these were beings who lived in the past.

And this hidden dungeon was a place they made while they were alive.

Hidden dungeons were usually where the system gave souls and related rewards to places they created.

“There is nothing more to be spared in the dying yard. You might be able to make The Philosopher’s Stone.”

The Philosopher’s Stone was a study of alchemists who wanted to change things for the better, such as strengthening the body, converting metals into other substances, or raising the rank of a profession.

“Take it.”

Jun-woo sauntered while staring at the brilliant silver-colored stone with wide-open eyes in Deok-Cheol’s hand.

He lightly tossed it, and Jun-woo received it.

[Advanced Stone] [Retained]

-Rank: Unique+

-Effect: The current job is promoted and becomes unique.

-Item value: 75,000,000,000,000

“Thank you… ….”

Jun-woo’s vision became hazy, and the silver space was torn.

And when I closed and opened my eyes, I saw a cave in front of me.

“Wait, are you okay?”

Jun-woo put the promotion stone in his hand into the item window and turned around.

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

“The silver iron wall is gone.”

It looked like it had really disappeared.

Leaving behind his bewilderment, Jun-woo hurriedly put all the treasures in the golden box on the floor into the item window.

Elixir was immediately inhaled.

Elixir-like water ran down his neck.

[Bonus stats have been increased by 10 by Elixir.]

Jun-woo distributed it all to agility.

The stat redistribution scroll was not used.

It would be nice to invest 23 bonus stats in strength, agility, and intelligence, but there was no reason to use it right away, so I was willing to watch a little more.

Other items were also sparingly used.

In the book of an alchemist, change in skill level improvement, maximum skill level increase, stat redistribution, and the last promotion stone that was given as a gift are great rewards.

Kim Deok-Cheol, who became Epic+, also achieved an indescribable harvest.

Now that I’ve got everything, I’m ready to go.

“Shall we go?”

“Y-yes!”

The two ran back the way they came.

Looking at the corpses of white bones, Kim Deok-Cheol had a shadow on his face.

If it wasn’t for Junwoo, he would have become like that.

‘Thank God… really.’

Kim Deok-Cheol glanced at Jun-woo, who was running alongside him.

For some reason, it felt like a halo.

‘It’s because you became Unique… It looks different… ….’

As we went up through the place we came in, bright sunlight shone on Jun-woo and Kim Deok-Cheol.

“It’s morning, Master.”

“Take it easy… ….”

“Oh, no. How do I… I hope we get along well!”

Like a unique-class alchemist and blacksmith, he was a noble person treated as a state guest both socially and globally.

Above all, Kim Deok-Cheol had a debt to pay.

“The word “gift” is a bit… ….”

“So, sir?”

“Just take it easy… ….”

“Then I will call you Master. Make a guild. Sign up right away. Now we have to live in a guild too!”

That is so reckless

Jun-woo asked on the way back to the gate.

“I’m going to go hunting the giant bee tomorrow, so maybe… ….”

“All right, all right! Are you going to catch the giant bee?”

Since the level does not increase through promotion stones, Kim Deok-Cheol also had to hunt to raise the level.

“Yeah… ….”

“I will sell the advanced magic crystals, prepare the items, and go right away.”

Jun-woo looked at the superlative magic crystal in his item window.

I didn’t know about other items, but I had to sell this one.

It was a little burdensome because it was an item worth 10 billion gold, but I thought it would be okay because there was one person I could trust.

Jun-woo and Kim Deok-Cheol hurriedly ran.

And as we went out through the gate we entered, Kim Deok-Cheol said.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow, Master! Get a good night’s sleep today. I don’t think I’ve ever slept.”

“It’s easy to say… ….”

“It’s convenient, then I’ll go for it. Rest well, Master!”

Kim Deok-Cheol bowed his head and left, and Jun-woo ran with a tired face.

It was a tough day.

No, it was a tough week.

And today was the ninth day since he was away.

Jun-woo turned on his smartphone.

As expected, there were numerous text messages.

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Boss, when are you coming out?]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Boss, there has been no news for a week… There’s a riot about reporting it to the Blacksmith’s Association. If you check the message of the representative, please contact us.]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Boss, what happened?]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Boss… I reported it to the police, but… ….]

She was drained.

“Ha… ….”

It was tiring, but it had to be done right away.

They would have been waiting for the item Jun-woo had decided to make.

[Junwoo: I’m here.]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Boss! I was worried. Are you okay?]

[Junwoo: Sorry for being late, I will contact the clients soon and deliver the goods.]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: There were a lot of complaints from people because it was a request that I received because it would take 4 or 5 days. Boss.]

[Junwoo: Yes, if I refund the fee and reduce the additional amount by 10%, will the dissatisfaction disappear?]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: Yes! I will refer to that part on the website and post an apology.]

[Junwoo: Please solve the police report as well… ….]

[Jeong Hye-Yeon: I will contact you right away!]

Jun-woo increased his speed a little and ran to his workshop.

When I opened the workshop’s door covered in rocks, I saw a stopped captain.

“Captain, you did a good job.”

“Done, done.”

Jun-woo sat on the sofa and closed and opened his heavy eyelids, and the captain began to place items on the table.

“Thanks… ….”

With a shallow sigh, Jun-woo put various equipment into the item window.

Jun-woo, who got up with his hips off the soft sofa, diligently ran again to Yongsan Station.
