Episode 234
Episode 234. New Tool (2)
[The first ‘X-Rank Item’ on Earth has been ‘created’.]
[You will receive 30,000 achievement points as a reward.]
The first reward achievement that comes to mind.
It was a hefty reward of 30,000 points.
The poem’s interest was directed more toward the achievement itself than the reward.
‘It’s rated X… … .’
X-rated.
Sometimes it’s even worse than Class A.
Another grade that shows effects that are comparable to or greater than the SSS grade.
One thing that clearly sets it apart from other general grades is that it is ‘unique.’
In other words, it was a grade given to an item that was one of a kind in the world.
It was the first time such a grade was created on Earth.
The person concerned, Shimun, was not particularly surprised.
‘Even though it was destroyed, it is a creation of the constellation. Since the two were combined, it is only natural that it is a unique class.’
Rather, I felt a little bit of regret.
‘But it was an old myth-grade item… … It’s an X-grade. It’s a bit disappointing.’
They say the constellation has disappeared.
Aren’t these items considered mythical in the past?
‘Even though it was imperfect, it wasn’t one, it was two combined… … .’
It’s only X-rated?
But this regret disappeared in an instant.
[Nameless Cauldron] – Growth Type
Grade – X (20%)
The vanished constellations Paracelsus and the Cauldron of the Dagda.
The elements of the two cauldrons that were imperfect due to the alchemy that reached the truth disappeared.
It didn’t have a perfect shape.
– Increases the total amount of produced results by 20%.
– Increases the effectiveness of the resulting product by 20%.
“Crazy! It was a growth type?”
A voice that comes out without me knowing.
Shimun’s gaze quickly scanned the information window of the nameless cauldron.
‘I see that the option values change depending on the growth rate.’
A 20% growth rate next to the grade.
If you look at the two options below that increase the total amount and efficacy, they are also 20%.
The options were likely to follow the cauldron’s growth rate.
‘So, does that mean the total amount or efficacy can increase by 100%?’
If you make it 100% complete, the total amount and efficacy will both be 100%.
That is, it increases by two times.
There it is.
‘The growth condition is most likely Dagda’s Cauldron.’
The cauldron of Paracelsus, broken and no longer functioning.
And my function is possible.
Dagda’s cauldron, which had a soft maintenance time like the sands of Cronus.
It was a fusion that was carried out to complement each other’s shortcomings.
In fact, the information window clearly stated the part he was aiming for.
The poet’s eyebrows furrow slightly.
The reason was no different.
‘Dagda’s cauldron’s ductility value was 50,000 points?’
50,000 achievement points.
Aren’t the costs of leveling up the 5-star Cheonma Shingong the same?
of course.
‘Now that the shape and safety of the cauldron have been completely determined, the price may be cheaper later on.’
This was something that had to be tested separately to find out.
Let’s start to organize our thoughts about that nameless cauldron.
-… … Hey! Brother! Shrink it a bit! If you keep doing this, it’ll collapse!
The urgent voice of the Philosopher’s Stone awakened my thoughts.
Shimun, who had come to his senses, quickly cleared the information window.
I could see it.
Kugugugug.
A room that is particularly tall among the penthouses in Shimun.
So, the cauldron grew up to the ceiling of this place that was designated as a laboratory.
of course.
That’s right.
Less noise!
I’m using all my might, including the mithril golem and the mechanical arm for work, but that’s all.
There was no meaning in front of the cauldron that was gradually increasing in volume like a balloon.

yet.
Crap!
The growing cauldron hit the ceiling and walls.
-Brother! If this continues, the building will collapse!
The Philosopher’s Stone shouted with eyes full of confusion.
One thing that was disconcerting was the same with the poem.
‘What should I do to become smaller?’
Wasn’t there nothing about the size of the cauldron in the information window?
‘I wish it would go back to the same size as before… … .’
The moment I thought that.
Crack.
The growth of the cauldron, which had been growing endlessly, suddenly stops.
Within.
Easy… … .
A cauldron gradually shrinking in volume with the sound of air escaping.
Shimun’s eyes sparkled when he saw him.
‘I see. Are you following my will?’
In some ways, it was natural.
Although imperfect, it was an object of the old constellations of the past.
Wasn’t this the basis for the poem’s re-creation?
Shimun placed his hand on the dwindling cauldron.
‘The size should be about the same as before. No, the height itself should be reduced to about my height so that it is not inconvenient to work with.’
When the creator’s will is added.
The cauldron transformed into the size Shimun wanted even faster.
Degururur.
The area that was once filled with cauldrons was now filled with broken tools, objects, and.
-Ha… …Damn it! When are you going to clean this up!!
It was filled with the cries of the philosopher’s stone.
* * *
That’s right.
Dalgrak.
Silver golems and mechanical arms move busily.
However, the shattered lab was quickly regaining its original form.
The area containing potions and elixirs, which were the real cause of this situation, was cleaned up first.
The reason was none other than this.
-Brother. Since you’re linking up, fix some other areas too!
“Yeah. No. I have to use a cauldron. I have to rework all the recipes.”
-Hey, see! Brother!!
A nameless cauldron created by combining two mythical cauldrons.
To check the effect, the poem only restored the area around the cauldron.
Thanks to.
-There’s a lot to clean up in other areas too!
However, only the philosopher’s stone that oversaw the laboratory was dying.
What should I do?
“Let’s see… … the full capacity of the cauldron… … and if only a portion of the ingredients are used, the option will apply… … .”
The owner of the lab was already absorbed in an experiment with an unnamed cauldron.
-Anyway. You always told me I was crazy about alchemy.
Aren’t you the real alchemist?
The Philosopher’s Stone, muttering like that, chuckled and turned around.
Let’s leave the philosopher’s stone behind.
“Then, based on the stat increase agent… … The arena disease cure is also in potion form… … No. That’s for later.”
The poem’s immersion in the samadhi realm has become even deeper.
Dozens of sheets of paper with notes and drawings scattered around the suddenly clean surroundings.
Within.
“Good. Then I can use the cauldron to make stat booster recipes.”
After completing the revised recipe for the stat-increasing agent, Shimun read it over a couple more times.
“I memorized it all.”
Ah, warm.
With a light finger snap.
Hwaruk.
I burned the revised version of the recipe I was looking at.
The papers scattered around were the same.
Have you finished organizing other areas?
-What? You’re going to change all the recipes? You’re done already?
The philosopher’s stone in a flask floating in the air and approaching.
“Oh. Now, we just need to experiment to what extent the increase in efficacy is allowed during the production stage.”
Shimun nodded.
I placed my hand on the cauldron, which was stretched taut to the side, about as high as I was.
‘It’s just one stat booster… … so reduce it to this level.’
A poem that reminds me of one stat booster.
OK.
Easy.
With the sound of air escaping.
The nameless cauldron shrank to a size that couldn’t even boil a single ramen.
“It’s just right.”
Shimun, with a satisfied smile, immediately prepared the ingredients.
Of course, the ones that go into the cauldron are the ones that go into the cauldron.
“Shall we start with the spring water of the World Tree?”
The hottest stat booster among current productions.
Its main ingredient was the ‘spring water of the world tree.’
Slurp.
A sound that is clearer and more refreshing than normal water is heard.
The poem containing the spring water of the World Tree snapped its fingers and carefully lit the fire under the cauldron.
-How about going with the heating method?
“Uh. I was going to go with the distillation method, but I’m thinking of going with the method of mixing it with other cold ingredients at a non-hot level.”
-Huh~ Well, distilling it would actually be a loss. Because there’s nothing to throw away.
The nodding philosopher’s stone.
-So now we just need to see if the effect is applied even if we just use the cauldron a little?
“Yes. If that doesn’t work, you need to increase the heating time or do it in a completely different way.”
-If the experiment is prolonged, the material loss will be quite large. I hope this ends in one go.
“I hope so too.”
Shimun answers like that, but doesn’t take his eyes off the cauldron.
Within.
“At this point, add these two… … Then, stir about ten times… … .”
A few more mixings of ingredients take place in the cauldron itself.
As a faint steam rose from the cauldron.
“Okay. You can take it out now.”
The poem, which quickly took out the contents, quickly mixed and prepared the ingredients.
therefore.
Click.
The results, contained in a specially-made potion bottle, were placed on the table.
-How was it? Did it work?
The philosopher’s stone in the flask immediately asked with its large eyes.
[The first ‘X+ Grade Item’ on Earth has been ‘produced’.]
[You will receive 10,000 achievement points as a reward.]
The poem that checked the information window.
Shh.
He answered by raising the corners of his lips.
* * *
Black market.
The world’s largest black market where you can find anything, and even sell yourself if you want.
The person who runs that black market is just as busy as the leader of any major guild.
It was difficult to even see some famous people in person.
obviously.
“It’s been a while~.”
The sudden appearance of the precious black market owner.
“All of you!”
Even Jinwook Park, the night hunter and top-tier named Diamond, couldn’t help but be surprised.
Whether his reaction is pleasant or not.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost?”
Or is it truly hurtful?
“I’m hurt~.”
Lin, the owner of the black market, held my chest and spoke with a wounded face.
A gesture that exudes a strange sensuality despite the sad expression.
It was a sight that would make most men’s throats tremble.
“I guess so.”
To Jinwook Park, the VVIP of the black market, he only looked like a snake full of poison.
Lin felt that.
“Tch. Why is it that teasing me is becoming less and less fun? Whose influence is it?”
He shook his head with a playful expression on his face.
Park Jin-wook, who knew full well that this was the beginning of another shake-up.
“Please come in. He is currently resting.”
He immediately guided Lin to Shimun.
Was it surprising that he said he was resting?
“Oh my! Why is someone who only works at the arena taking a break?”
Lin asked with a rare sincerity.
This became clear to me after arriving at the penthouse of the poem.
“Welcome, Lin.”
A refreshing scent gently wafts through the spacious living room.
Shimun and his party leisurely drinking what is probably Elven Tea.
Lin’s eyes fluttered faintly.
“You knew… that I would come to you? No, did you expect it?”
“Well, more or less.”
Click.
Shimun shrugs his shoulders, placing down a teacup that looks expensive at first glance.
Why is that?
“I didn’t like having other people read it though~.”
She absolutely hates being on the receiving end.
Even though her actions had been read out, there was no sign of discomfort on Lin’s face.
Following.
I didn’t even ask you to sit separately.
“Now that I actually experience it, it’s not that bad.”
She plopped down on the empty spot on the sofa as if it were her own home.
“Wow~ This sofa is nice. It’s more comfortable and better than anything else on the market.”
Lin is lying down, sinking into the sofa.
Shimun answered with a sly smile.
“I took care of it separately.”
“Really? Somehow~ Can I ask you one thing later? I’ll pay you a lot for your help.”
“Haha. We’re business partners, so I’ll give you that much as a service.”
“Business partner… … .”
Lin chews over the word business partner.
She chewed on it with an ambiguous expression, not knowing whether it was positive or negative, and then smiled.
“Okay. But since you’re providing service to a ‘business partner,’ could you be a little more generous?”
He took something out of thin air and placed it on the table.
A simple yet stylish potion bottle.
“I’m talking about this stat booster.”
It was one of the hottest items on Earth right now, a stat booster.
That too.
[Stat Booster]
Rating: X+
-When taken, main stat permanently increases by 12.
-When first taken, main stat permanently increases by 6.
-When first taken, all stats permanently increase by 6.
An augmentation made from only one material.
The effectiveness has been further enhanced with high-level alchemy.
“I never imagined that you would release it with even greater effects.”
The first option, which was originally 10, is now 12.
The second and third options, which were each 5, were increased to 6.
“And that’s a whopping 20% increase.”
It’s a hot new product.
“You sent us exactly 31 bottles. But… … .”
Lin glanced at the group of poets sitting around her in silence.
“Looking at the bright expressions on my colleagues’ faces, I thought that even after giving each of you a bottle… … I came to see if you had any leftovers?”
But he has that unique, weird smile on his face.
Lin, who stabs quite sharply and comes in.
“As expected, Lin can’t be fooled.”
Shimun smiled and agreed.
“It’s exactly as Lin said. There are currently about 60 bottles left.”
“About 60 bottles… … Considering the previous version, that means they produce about 100 bottles per month?”
“Yes.”
licking.
The tongue appears above Lin’s bright red lips.
She looked quite excited, unlike usual.
“Let me get straight to the point. Would you like to entrust all of your production to us from now on?”
He revealed it clearly, without any sign of hiding it.
“We promise to sell it to you under the best conditions possible.”
“You want exclusive distribution rights? Then you’ll have to give me strict conditions, right?”
“Of course. First of all, I promise you the lowest fees on Earth, forever.”
Shimun’s eyes sparkled at Lin’s declaration.
The people around them who had been quietly listening also looked quite surprised.
That would be the case.
“The lowest fee?”
It was because of the part about the lowest fees.
Lin nodded confidently and answered.
“Yes. I think you and everyone else here know what this means.”
At her words, Shimun and her colleagues also nodded slowly.
In the black market, everything comes down to money.
And the basis of this is the transaction fee.
But it’s not like I’m just going to lower it.
‘We will always have the lowest fees on Earth’?
This means that.
“No matter how much they offer elsewhere, are you saying that the black market will renew your fee for less?”
The more offers come in from those around me.
This means that they will unconditionally accept it at a lower price regardless of whether there is a deficit or not.
“As expected, you know a lot.”
Lin nodded.
“Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you just not charge a fee?”
A rather rough-toned voice intervenes.
It was Go Mal-sook who was watching the situation from the side.
Lin looked at her and smiled.
“You are indeed a world-class hero. I like it. I won’t even charge you a fee.”
“Eh, huh? Really?”
Is it because I accepted it too easily?
Even though I said it myself, Go Mal-sook showed a rare reaction of bewilderment.
“Okay. I know what Lin’s intentions are. Let’s put that on hold for now.”
Shimun raised both hands and calmed the situation.
Lin blinked and asked again.
“Does that mean you really want to pay a fee?”
“Yes. Then, let’s do it under the fee renewal conditions that Lin initially proposed.”
“Why?”
This time, Lin tilted her head.
She looked genuinely questioning.
Shimun answered with a grin.
“The fee already takes into account the deficit. If we do it for free here, the quality of the service may go down.”
When it comes to trading, it’s cheap.
And anything that’s free is there for a reason.
Isn’t that obvious?
It’s not a service, it’s a transaction, so how can it be free?
“Oh my~ Are you underestimating us?”
But maybe it was taken in a different sense.
“It is definitely a loss for us to exempt the fee for stat boosters, but we are a black market, right? The quality of service will not go down to this extent.”
Lin spat out the words with a sharp smile that did not seem to answer.
It seems as if Shimun knows all about her feelings.
“I know. But we’re partners, right?”
He answered with a soft smile.
‘It’s not like I don’t have money. They probably care more about saving face than money.’
In areas related to trading, the relationship is similar to that of the two younger siblings, Go Mal-sook and Park Jin-wook.
There is no need to diminish that prestige by spending a small amount of money.
“… … .”
Is this a completely unexpected answer?
Lin remained silent for a while with a somewhat shocked expression on her face.
Within.
“Ha… … I forgot for a moment what kind of person you are.”
Lin muttered, sweeping her bangs up with a hollow laugh.
“I originally intended to present other transaction-related conditions… … .”
The shock has subsided to some extent.
“Okay. Since you treat me like a partner, I should treat you accordingly.”
She smiled again and continued.
Why is that?
“If you promise to sell exclusively, I will give you access to the black market information along with a commission.”
The smile she wore wasn’t her usual, sly smile.
It was a smile that seemed to have become clearer somewhere.
But Shimun didn’t notice the change.
“And what I can give you right now is a taste of… .”
To be exact, I should say that I didn’t have the luxury of that.
The information that came out of Lin’s mouth.
“It’s probably an outbreak that the Ukrainian government is currently covering up.”
“……I beg your pardon?”
Because it was something that shouldn’t have happened now.
fantasy,
