One Man Army

[Chapter 38] Aura System (1) @ Aura System.

"I finished the Cube."

The raging guild's typhoon showed the completed Cube to Shooting Star, the guild master. The Rising Guild hunts the Named Monster for the idea that he may not know it, while at the same time collecting the Cube pieces and eventually ending the day with a single Cube. low rank random Cube.
– Items that can be made by collecting 26 pieces of low rank Cube pieces. You can open the cube by turning the cube and completing the pattern.

The item description itself was very simple. And it was not difficult to match the pattern because it was only possible to turn a few turns around.

"Let me guess?"

"Yes, try."

In response to the typhoon, Shooting Star nodded and replied.
KICK, KICK.
When Shooting Star answered, the typhoon straightened the Cube a couple of times. Then the white light came out from the Cube.
Flashing!

We have completed the low rank Cube. I got 'Aura Crystal of low rank wind'.

In the hands of the typhoon, the low rank random cube disappeared, and instead, the aura crystals they were looking for were on.

"Ah … 썅 ………."

The moment I saw it, the typhoon felt like hitting my head with a hammer.

"This ……… I guess we were hit, is not it?"

Shooting Star was also staring at Aura Crystal with a frowning expression.

"Where the hell did it go wrong? You said that you were certain information? "

"I mean … Where the hell did it go wrong? Did the NPC lie to you? "

"We were so stupid. There was no reason why I could not lie as an NPC … "

"Until now, I never thought that the information related to these updates was a lie, and I never thought it would be a lie. Shit, do you have to tell the truth from the truth when you get information from the NPC? What kind of game is this complicated? "

Shooting Star thought that false update information was also part of the game. No one can imagine that no user would ever have a single user behind false information.

"Hmm … I am glad to know it anyway now."

The typhoon held on to the Aurora crystal and muttered. Though I had blown the day, I was glad to know it now.

"Bro, what about the other guilds?"

"There's nothing like us. Well, like us, we've got a Cube that we've made sure we've hit the back of the head. "

"What are you going to do? This information … will you release it? "

"I'm sorry, but I do not think so."

Shooting Star shook his head to ask the typhoon.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I have to cover up the damage as much as possible. Auction house · · · · Would not the blinds come up there?

"Now that there are so many people who are deceived by false information. But you know. 'Black Hand' at the auction house, I think he's already swept away. "

All top-level users knew there was a huge hand at the EL auction house. They called the big hand a black hand (black hand).

"Then, once you get all the guild members through one-on-one direct deals, let's scrape. If you ask everyone to collect a piece of Cube, you can collect it to some extent. "

Shooting Star made the choice to minimize damage to the guild.

"If you do that, it will be rumored eventually?"

"Anyway, I feel the rumor spreads out between the atmosphere today. So before we're late, we have to take care of it. "

"We would not have only noticed it … and other guilds are going to sneak around to save the loss, right?"

"Probably. In the end, I'm just dying to be a general user who is slow to learn information. "

As predicted by shooting stars and typhoons, several large guilds first discovered this fact and began to sneak. They tried to close their mouths tightly and cover up any harm, just as they had agreed.
This information control can not go on for a long time, but it was able to run for at least a day or two.
In the meantime, ordinary users were forced to suffer further damage.
Regular users were thinking about the 'Cube piece' because it was seriously distorted information, so it could be a real asset. In fact, it was easy to get something like a low-grade Cube piece.
Moreover, since it is sold immediately when it is put on an auction house or a consignment sale place, it continues to be said that it is good to sell as much as usual when there is popularity among general users.
Of course, there were some opinions that it should be collected without selling, but even if you get a low level monster, you can get pieces from 2 or 3 out of 10, so you should not just pamper yourself but sell it right when you sell it.
From the conclusion, it is right to collect now unconditionally. The price of Cube sculpture has been going upwards, and the price is expected to be 5 to 7 times that of now.
And there was another unknown information.
Cube could basically be made by combining 26 pieces of the same grade and kind, but if you make a bigger cube with more pieces over it, the aura crystals that can be obtained from it are raised.
When this became known, there was no reason to sell even the lowest rank Cube piece.
Now it's not real value, people sold it without thinking, but when all the information about Cube was revealed, the price of all Cube pieces was going to go up.
Because Sanghyuk knew this fact, he was sweeping all the pieces of Cube at the lowest possible price before the Cube sculpture was properly settled.

* * * * The stone giant was hard to catch so I could get a lot if I could catch it. A lot of karma and quality items. And to high-rank Cube piece … It was a comprehensive gift set in one word.
Sanghyuk fell one of the stone giants in five minutes and made the valley of the gorgeous one.
Sanghyuk, who took almost ten hours to hold the stone giant and focused on hunting, was able to collect about 20 pieces of Cube high rank. Of course I got a variety of Cube pieces so hard to find the same kind of thing, but I did not think I could complete the high rank Cube anyway.
Sanghyuk folded the hunt and returned to Tune of the Hellfire Desert. Then the NPCs at the top of Jinshan started collecting scraped Cube pieces.
Because of the large number of users, there were many blind cube pieces coming up at the auction house or consignment shop. Of course, more Cube pieces would be stored in the user's warehouse or bag, but the important thing was that one of the blind Cube pieces was monopolized and swept away.
Thanks to Sanghyuk, he could get as many pieces of Cube as he could imagine.
In the meantime, all the pieces of Cube were gathered in one place at the top of Geumsan, so it seemed possible to make hundreds of cases like the lowest rank Cube. The low rank Cube seemed to be able to make dozens, and even the intermediate rank Cube seemed to be able to make about five to seven.
For almost two days, the gold used by the top NPCs to collect the Cube pieces was about two million gold.
Surely on the second day, the speed with which the blind cube pieces came up was decreasing. At this point, even though individual users who are slow to acquire information have started to feel something strange, the number of people who throw Cube pieces has decreased greatly.

'It would have been nice if the atmosphere was maintained for two days or so.' · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · '

Sanghyuk expressed a sad face. I did the information manipulation with care, but I did not do 100% Taj Hajin. Especially, the large guilds seemed to be ghosts, so it was all about deceiving a day or so.

"Well, that's enough to get enough of it."

When the price of the Cube piece was properly set, Sanghyuk needed 15 million gold instead of 2 million gold to collect the pieces of sheep's cube.
In a word, Sanghyuk had almost 13 million gold in just two days. Particularly, when the true secret of the Aura system became known, the Cube sculpture competition was going to take place here and there.

'Do you want to make a low rank Cube as a test for confirmation?'

Sang Hyuk began to build a cube by selecting one of the most low-rank Cube pieces he has. He assembled 26 pieces of the same kind to create a 'single' cube that could get the lowest rank aura crystal of the usual size.
Cube was divided into 'single', 'double' and 'triple' according to size. Singles were able to get the aura crystal of the same grade as the original grade, and the double was able to get a step up the aura crystal because the size was raised one step.
And the last triple was raised two steps in size to get the aura crystals up two steps.
It was not on the triple. In other words, the limit of the lowest rank Cube piece is the intermediate rank aura crystal.
Sanghyeok made the lowest rank Cube (single) lightly and set the pattern of it. Then he could get one of the lowest rank aura crystals.

Aura Crystal of the lowest rank steel – Aura crystal with the aura of steel.

[Full body aura effect] +40 armor [partial aura effect] It strengthens a specific part hard like steel.

[Aura strengthening effect] You can gain additional defense.

[Holding time] 20 minutes.

[Number of uses] 4 times.

The aura crystal of steel was a really smooth aura crystal. This was a crystal used mainly by tankers, but there was no special way of using it, so I could only expect to increase my armor.

'That's what I knew.'

There were as many kinds of aura crystals as the patterns of Cube. I could not predict what aura crystals would look like by looking at Cube patterns anyway.
Is that so? Aura system has been updated and for a while people did not care about the patterns of Cube. I just thought I could find the same picture.
But here was a very important secret hidden. The secret was information that simply could not be found at the level of getting update information. Indeed, this information was revealed in Sanghyuk 's previous life as the Aura system was updated and it was four months later.

'If you simply look for the same picture, you will get this result. But the pattern of the Cube piece is not engraved to look for the same picture!'

Sang Hyuk put the lowest rank aura crystals in his bag and started to look back at the lowest rank Cube pieces.
He followed the memory and recalled a pattern he knew. These patterns were called 'Cube combination patterns'. Combination of different pieces of cube to create a completely new pattern, the combination pattern was completed.
Cubes are grouped according to the combination formula like 'combination card' which is the main ability of Sanghyuk. It was obviously different Cubes, but when Sanghyuk assembled the patterns together, a new pattern was created.

'This is probably a golden lion?'

Sanghyuk knew various types of Cube combination patterns. The combination pattern he remembered has been recognized for many years and has certainly been recognized by users.
Sanghyuk completed the double rank of the lowest rank Cube, or the combination Cube, and the light came out from the hand of Sanghyuk again as soon as he adjusted the combination pattern as he remembered.
Flashing!

The combination Cube golden lion has been completed. I got 'Aura Crystal of Golden Lion'.
We first completed the Combination Cube and won a special Ora Crystal. This will soon be your achievement and will be remembered forever.
We have earned [Oura Master], the unique title.

The aura crystals that can be obtained through the combination Cube were 'unique aura crystals' with no rating.
That was the aura of the true power of the aura system. The 'basic aura', which can be obtained through ordinary aura crystals obtained simply by applying the same pattern, has only a simple effect according to the grade.
However, the effect of the 'unique aura' that can be obtained through the unique Oura crystal was very unique.

Aura Crystal of the Golden Lion – The golden lion has been completed by gathering numerous pieces. The golden lion who has played the role of Suho since ancient times can give you special strength.

[Full Body Aura Effect] Roar of the Golden Lion: The Golden Lion roars and reduces the attack and defense strength of all enemies that are hostile to you.

[Partial Aura effect] Golden Lion's Blood: The Golden Lion's blood is injected into a specific area, and the area is shining and strengthened in golden color. Each part of the effect will be strengthened.

[Aura Strengthening Effect] Golden Lion's Soul: The golden lion's soul is embedded in a specific item, and the golden lion's strengthening effect is added to that item. The effect of strengthening depends on the item.

[Holding time] 1 hour.

[Number of uses] 7 times.

The Golden Lion Aura Crystal was the easiest and most common of the Cubes which Sanghyuk knew. Of course, it did not mean that it was not very good.
This was one of the most common combat aura that the Rankers would later use. Later, the union Cube became very important so that the special 'Union Cube' itself traded in large amounts.
Of course, Sanghyuk's memories contained a lot of genuine Cube patterns. This was a privilege, not a privilege, earned from working as the best pro-gaming supervisor in previous life.
