Chapter 140: Distortion (3)
Suddenly, in the heart of Paju, the bustling market of Strongest Swords opened up.
Although they were treated as giants in their respective areas, the Strongest Swords were stumbling around aimlessly on the ground today, abandoning their usual demeanor.
The first to select their equipment could take it without any accessories, and most importantly, the first to grab it became the owner.
“Excuse me, could you move aside a bit?”
“Well, if you don’t have anything to buy there, let’s come out to the side.”
Songpa, Seocho, Seongbuk, Dongdaemun, Goyang.
Except for the Goyang’s Strongest Sword, who was alone due to not being from the Seoul Federation, the rest fiercely fought for the loot, stretching out their hands.
And Yeongwoo, who was watching them.
‘It’s desirable.’
With a satisfied expression, he displayed the status of the accessory encyclopaedia.
Pop!
〔17〕
There are currently 17 pieces of accessory registered in the encyclopaedia.
Therefore, if you obtain just 3 more, the level 2 collection effect will be unlocked.
‘If there are many requests for accessory exchange, the level 3 unlock should be quite close.’
[Collection Effect: 10]
| Usage of all accessory +1
[Collection Effect: 20]
| ???
Although only the existence of level 2 could be confirmed for now, once level 2 was achieved, the next level would surely be revealed.
‘It seems that the collection units increase by 10 each... Then, does that blessing open up at around 100 or maybe 50?’
「Each encyclopaedia has its own unique collection effect, and when the completeness of the encyclopaedia exceeds a certain level, you can obtain a remarkable blessing or skill.」
It was an effect that the system deemed astonishing, so it wouldn’t be easily unlocked.
“Um, excuse me... I’ve chosen everything.”
While Yeongwoo was examining the accessory encyclopaedia, the first buyer stood in front of him.
It was none other than Goyang’s Strongest Sword.
He had chosen his equipment skillfully from among the fierce competition in Seoul.
The equipment Park Jeongjin chose consisted of boots and pants, one each, on top of a sword.
“Oh...?”
Yeongwoo was surprised to see Park Jeongjin holding the equipment in his arms.
“Do you... have a lot of accessory? At this rate, you should give me two pieces.”
When Yeongwoo asked with curiosity, Park Jeongjin cautiously nodded after glancing at the other Strongest Sword members.
“Yes, here...”
Swish.
Park Jeongjin carefully handed over a ring and a bracelet that he had on his fingers and wrist to Yeongwoo.
「Dragon Slayer」 – Mutation Ring
【Power increases by 10% for dragons.】
「Insulation」 – Mutation Bracelet
【Lightning Resistance 15%】Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
‘Oh, my goodness.’
Yeongwoo’s eyes widened at the much stronger effects than expected.
Resistance equipment was always welcome, and it was the first time he had seen an option that increased power against dragons.
“Are you sure it’s okay? This ring...”
As Yeongwoo picked up the “Dragon Slayer” with his finger and asked, Park Jeongjin subtly smiled.
“Yes. Perhaps Mr. Yeongwoo is more likely to fight dragons than I am.”
The conglomerates who would eventually return as dragons.
Since they wouldn’t be typical mutants, it was true that there was a high probability that Strongest Swords strongest member, Jeong Yeongwoo, would clash with the dragon tribe.
“Ah... Thank you.”
In the end, when Yeongwoo accepted the two pieces of accessory, Park Jeongjin nodded once again and stepped aside.
Right after that, Oh Yeonhee, who was standing there holding two pieces of equipment, appeared.
What she had chosen was a pair of boots and armor.
“I do have more accessory... But this is something I can’t personally give up.”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Yeongwoo readily accepted Yeonhee’s deal.
As long as it was an accessory, it didn’t really matter if the effect wasn’t great.
Moreover, even if it was equipment bordering on miscellaneous items, it could still fill up the accessory encyclopaedia.
‘With this, the level 2 collection effect will open.’
Yeongwoo politely accepted the small earring offered by Yeonhee.
「Bear Heart」 – Mutant Earring
【Becomes braver.】
‘...Definitely equipment she’s trying to discard.’
Certainly, Yeonhee had her own reservations.
However, Yeongwoo saw even this as a big mistake on Yeonhee’s part.
Because...
‘Becoming braver isn’t an ability that can be bought with karma, right? It means becoming less afraid.’
Especially since Yeongwoo had encountered opponents among the extraterrestrial beings like the shareholders of Dogo, he understood the importance of courage very well.
“Thank you.”
As Yeongwoo expressed his gratitude as usual, Yeonhee, who was about to step aside, paused for a moment and asked a question.
“But, Mr. Yeongwoo.”
“Yes?”
By doing this, he could progress one more route of the golden rain today.
Since North Korea was judged as foreign, and he happened to have two golden orbs, there was no need to postpone the achievement until tomorrow.
‘Of course, it’s risky. Right now, all the Strongest Swords in the north are probably monitoring my location in real-time.’
They might even think that the thief from South Korea who had annihilated their main force was advancing north for revenge.
Clop, clop!
Yet, he still had some leeway as he was still crossing the northern edge of Paju.
Yeongwoo utilized this time to check the remaining five pieces of accessory he hadn’t examined yet.
「Heated Stone」 – Heroic Necklace
【Ignores extreme cold.】
“Oh?”
From the start, it was extreme weather immune equipment.
‘If it’s extreme cold... is it the cold version of yesterday’s heatwave?’
So far, there were four confirmed types of extreme weather: fog, temperature, rain, and wind type revealed through the Epic necklace “Eye of the Typhoon”.
「Eye of the Typhoon」 – Epic Necklace
【Ignores extreme weather of the wind type.】
Of these four types, he hadn’t experienced the “wind” directly yet, so the probability of today’s extreme weather being wind type on the fourth day was quite high.
‘And now... I can snipe even extreme cold, which is the temperature type.’
And next...
「Steel Mark」 – Mutation Amulet
【Increases durability by 500.】
‘Not bad.’
Durability +500...
While it was still a good effect even now, if he had obtained this charm at the beginning of the reset, it would have made him nearly invincible.
Likely, the original owner of this equipment was indeed invincible.
‘Now, next.’
Smoothly shifting his gaze to the next tooltip, Yeongwoo suddenly widened his eyes.
「Osmosis」 – Epic Ring
【The lowest basic resistance value is equal to the highest resistance value.】
‘Epic?’
Yeongwoo unintentionally exclaimed.
Moreover, the effect was insane.
‘What does this mean? It sets the lowest resistance to the same value as the highest resistance?’
However, there was one condition attached.
Basic resistance... In other words, only the resistance to fire, cold, lightning, and poison could be raised.
However, the highest resistance value didn’t need to be a basic resistance.
In other words, it was possible to max out a basic resistance by adjusting an extreme resistance to its limit.
‘This is really nonsensical equipment. My noble was in North Korea after all.’
Yeongwoo expressed a belated gratitude to the unknown noble who had already passed away.
‘Now, only two remain.’
Perhaps because of the epic ring’s interference, the last two were relatively ordinary.
Or rather, one of them was detrimental to Yeongwoo.
「Rotten Flesh」 – Unique Bracelet
【Bleeding Immunity】
「Ten Commander」 – Relic Ring
【Reduces blocked damage by 10%】
‘No, immunity to bleeding? It’s impressive, but I shouldn’t have immunity to bleeding.’
Due to the Berserker effect from the slot gem, Yeongwoo’s strength increased by 25% when bleeding.
With so much equipment, he had encountered cases where the equipment conflicted with each other.
The system seemed to be aware that such situations could occur early on, as there was a separate option to deactivate effects within the catalog.
‘Thank goodness. I almost ruined myself by picking up the wrong bracelet.’
As Yeongwoo inspected each piece of equipment, Negwig carrying him was already passing through the northeastern part of Kaesong.
Clop, clop!
However, the reason Yeongwoo didn’t stop him was that there was no one in Kaesong.
‘There wasn’t a single person in Kaesong. I should find a place with people if possible.’
He wanted to spread this valuable golden rain in areas where residents existed if possible.
Although North Korea was hostile, it didn’t mean he was at war with all of North Korea’s people.
Clop!
As Yeongwoo continued northward, the status of a new area finally appeared before him.
Pat!
|The current area you are in is ‘Geumcheon.’
|There are no Strongest Swords in this area.
“Ah.”
Geumcheon County, North Hwanghae Province.
It was Yeongwoo’s first time seeing this place, but at least he had heard of ‘Geumcheon’ a while ago.
This was because one of the opponents he had encountered in Paju was carrying the title of ‘Geumcheon’s Strongest Sword.’
In other words, Yeongwoo was now in the area he had taken the title of Strongest Sword from.
“Here.”
Yeongwoo, as if possessed, pulled the reins of the Negwig to slow down its speed.
Then, as if understanding Yeongwoo’s intention, the golden goblin handed him a golden orb.
– Keyit.
As the goblin said, it was now time to drop the first golden rain in a foreign land.
