Matan's Shooter

“What is this…? A plow in a farmhouse shed in the countryside would be better managed than this one.” 

The closer he got, the more it reminded him of a warehouse in a farmhouse that was decades old. Just as rusty farming tools were stocked together, all kinds of weapons, including swords, were stacked like toys, but the contents were not to be ignored.

“They are legendary.”

Sheuk, he drew a sword. It was legendary-ranked.

“What, this is also a legend.”

He pulled out another. It was legendary-ranked. He dropped the legendary and picked up the spear next to it. It was legendary-ranked.

“There’s no…… heroic-rank……?”

At this point, he was stunned. Anything he picked up was legendary-ranked, everything was legendary…….

Kidd’s [Crimson Geckos] and Luger’s [Cobalt Blue Python] were basically heroic-rank.

But now, in this place, he could see more legendary-ranked items, than heroic-ranked items?!

“……It’s not even the hometown of legends, there’s so many legendary-ranked items…… This is so crazy. This isn’t the time for me to get an item to use, right?”

Leeha’s thoughts have changed slightly. He simply wanted to find equipment that he could use before, but the situation was different if there were so many legendary-ranked items. The most popular item throughout Middle Earth was the one-handed sword. Because it could be worn by all classes, regardless if they were damage-dealers or tanks.

Compared to similar grade two-handed swords, maces, muskets, etc.. the overwhelming price range was formed because there was an overwhelming demand for it.

‘What if a one-handed sword with a higher grade than legendary rank comes out…?’ 

If he put it up for auction, it might go up to 1 billion. With the money, Leeha collected so far, with that 1 billion- and with a little more farming……

Gulp. It would not be just a dream.

‘No, if it’s like that, I’d rather find another item that all jobs can use. I heard that what Granville took from Fibiel’s royal treasury was a magic horse.’

What if there was a similar mount like that? It can be used not only as a simple means of transportation but also for emergency escape during combat. There’s no way that wizards or ranged dealers who were weak in close combat would not want such an item.

‘It would be good for tankers to use to bring in monsters. Hey, what is this-’

After thinking about it as a business item, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. In a sense, Bahamut’s gift was like torture for Leeha.

In a gigantic treasure trove with no end in sight, with at least 70% of the contents of which are legendary-ranked items, and asked to choose ‘just one’!

“Aaargh! Oh god! Why are you giving me such an ordeal!”

It was a waste of time to scream. Leeha decided to spend the next 5 hours to find the most expensive item he could find.

“Now then, let’s start mining.”

Pasasak- pasasak-!

Leeha started digging through the mountain of items.

He ran out of stamina and felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips, but even that seemed enjoyable.

“It didn’t show up easily. Is there really no higher rank?”

Leeha, who was working with his sleeves rolled up, sat on the floor and took a breather for a moment.

The gold coins on the floor pricked his buttocks, so the cloak he sat under like a rag was of course legendary rank.

He didn’t even notice any heroic-rank items, but he had seen so many legendary-ranked items that.

‘No, it’s too early to give up. I have already worked for 4 hours, now I only have 1 hour left? Maybe because I have only seen a little part of it.’

There were some that he had checked the detailed descriptions carefully, but there were too many.

“Phew, in the worst case, I think I can just pick up anything and sell it……. Kek, come to think of it, it’s funny how I use the word ‘in the worst case’ while choosing a legendary ranked item.”

A few items were set aside at the edge of the piled-up items like a mountain.

Among the items Leeha found, there were items with options that could be sold at the most expensive price.

‘But there really is no such item. It’s best if there’s something that helps with magic

…… hmm?’

A glittering item entered Leeha’s eye as he sat down. It was the ostrich egg that he had almost stepped on and slipped right after checking his character window.

‘Come to think of it, there are many other kinds of jewelry, but I only saw one over there. It might be somewhere else, but Bahamut’s item classification is where similar items were grouped together.’

When it comes to sapphires, there were all kinds of sapphires, there were all kinds of sapphires in all colors and types. As for diamonds, there were rows of diamonds of all sizes and colors.

After more than 4 hours, even Bahamut’s classification could be roughly guessed.

But what about items like the ostrich egg? He couldn’t see it anywhere except for the spot where Leeha stepped on it.

Of course, there were so many treasures that Leeha thought that there might be another one somewhere, but after digging for at least 5 hours, only that was confirmed.

‘Let’s look at it one more time. Maybe it’s an item that has something to do with me since I stepped on it first-’

Beep-! Beep-! Beep-!

“Huh?”

Just as he was about to stand up, he heard an alarm on his head. It was a sound he had never heard since starting Middle Earth.

[An external call has occurred.]

There was only one reason for an external call to occur at this time. It was probably Kijeong waiting for Leeha next to the capsule with his neck stretched out.

Leeha suddenly remembered the days when he was changing jobs.

At that time, if his mother hadn’t unplugged the cord, if she had used this function, what would he be like now?

‘Would I just be an ordinary magician? Heh, I might be in a guild defending hard- no, would I have been able to grow that much? I might just be another user at level 100 now. My stats would not even compare.’

As expected, Leeha thought once again that life was a mystery, and prepared to log out.

As soon as he came out of the capsule, Kijeong rushed at Leeha.

“Eong-ah! I told you to come out quickly.”

“I’m so sorry. By the way-”

“Cough, what? Are you going to be okay like this? Hyung, what will you wear? Also, concepts shouldn’t overlap too much, and it shouldn’t be too different as well.”

After Kijeong helped Leeha, who was moving in a wheelchair, he stood in front of him showing off his looks. Despite the neat and dandy style and skinny body, his body line was revealed.

“Hey, what…… It’s not like I’m going to show off. It’s winter, shouldn’t we just dress warmly?”

“My hyung is saying something bad! Well, that’s why I’m here. Now, let’s go to hyung’s room. Just look at you, we have to take care of your hair today, and if you don’t have any nice clothes, let’s go out and do some shopping! There are more than one or two things to prepare!”

Kijeong made a fuss, grabbed the wheelchair handle, and pushed.

Of course, Leeha was only able to speak once. Anyway, he was going to meet Shin Nara, so there was no way he wanted to dress casually.

‘But dressing up like that…’

Leeha, who had served in the military until right before the accident, did not have many opportunities to wear clothes other than his uniform. The best one was maybe a tracksuit.

Originally, he had no interest in fashion or clothes, and it was something that he naturally had no choice but to distance himself more.

“Let’s see, where~”

“Hey, hey! Wait, it’s not like-”

“Ehehey, when choosing clothes, you have to take them out and check them out. Or you just wear the top one! Just trust me.”

Kijeong drove the wheelchair to Leeha’s room, sat Leeha down, and searched the closet at random.

Kijeong was certainly qualified to become the guild master of a guild. Leeha was tongue-tied at Kijeong’s tremendous activity and extroversion.

‘Yeah, did I have clothes like that? When did I buy it?’

Leeha saw the clothes he himself bought and forgot. Kijeong, who took out everything Leeha thought he had worn at least once, started matching this and that on Leeha’s body, who was sitting.

“Hmm, I think hyung has a surprisingly sharp image and it’s more like that because you have lost weight. How about this cute sweatshirt?”

Leeha was startled when he put on the sweatshirt with a large poodle face on it.

“Hey! Should I wear that kind of outfit when meeting with Nara-ssi-”

“Why, what is it? You said you weren’t going to before, and now you’re not able to wear something like this?”

“Caugh, that’s right. Wouldn’t that seem too light though?”

“Well, it could be. I have to dress hyung nicely… wait.”

However, there were bound to be limitations even for Kijeong.

There weren’t many clothes to combine in the first place, so no matter how much he tried to match, it didn’t look cool at all.

“Hyung.”

“Huh? ”

“Let’s go shopping for clothes.”

“What? Do we have to go that far-”

“This again. Are Shin Nara-nim and Bobae-nim ordinary people?! They are Olympic medalists! They are geniuses in their fields, and if you are a Korean, you should know their names! I mean, they’re so famous! Of course, it is polite for us to dress up as much as possible. Isn’t it?”

Leeha was embarrassed, but he couldn’t beat Kijeong when it came to issues related to the opposite sex.

Hearing those words, Leeha nodded for a moment, while Kijeong pushed Leeha’s wheelchair.

‘Come to think of it, how much shopping will we do…?’

The difference from before was that he did not have any minor concerns.

“Wait a minute, Kijeong-ah.”

“Huh?”

Leeha put on a coat Kijeong brought him and took out a wallet inside. There were only a few bills in the wallet, but those were incidental.

Chwaaak-!

The real thing on the wallet! After inserting an old check card between the index and middle finger, Leeha spread out his fingers.

“Since we’re buying, we should buy something good. We should buy something for mom as well.”

“Wow~ Eong-ah~? That’s cool!”

“Let’s use it now. Let’s go! Thank you for helping me, I will buy you a delicious meal!”

“Hehe, I get it! Then, let’s go to the department store!”

“Huh? T-that might seem a little expensive-”

“Ehehey, why are you sounding so weak when we just started?”

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go!”

“I will take care of you!”

When Lee Ha accepted as if he couldn’t win, Kijeong giggled and pushed Lee Ha’s wheelchair.

***

How long did it take to get some fresh air?

Thinking that it would be nice if he could walk on his own two legs in good health, Leeha went shopping with Kijeong.

And he quickly regretted it.

The average shopping time prior to the incident was less than 15 minutes after arriving at the shopping location. Think about what to buy, then go and pick it up. Ttuk.

However, Kijeong’s shopping process was different from Leeha’s.

Leeha went shopping for the first time that day, and it was the first time the two men walked around for more than 2 hours.

“Are you all right, Kijeong-ah?”

“Awesome. Hyung is much cooler than when he was in his military uniform.”

“Hmmm, this is hair, but it’s a bit-”

“It’s not. You already have a sharp impression, so if you expose your entire forehead, you can look sharper. First of all, all the long hair was cut off,  it’s better to have natural bangs, hyung.”

“Is that so?”

***

Finally, it was 11 am on Saturday.

Kijeong and Leeha arrived at the place of their appointment with Shin Nara in advance.

Kijeong, who came to Leeha’s house early in the morning, finished everything from hair styling to rechecking the coordination he had shopped on Friday.

Leeha felt ready, but his heart was a little uneasy.
