Episode 100
Great Yokai (1)
After seeing that notification window, my nerves left the hunting.
Hunting was out of hand.
I wonder how an office worker feels when he receives a text message informing him that the computer he ordered yesterday has just arrived at his home.
‘What on earth is next to black?’
Beings of level 299 and above. Since Hercules, a demigod, was black, the next level might be able to load a real god. Jeongdo came down Mt. Fuji as soon as he confirmed that Seoyoon and Haesik had met their quota for the day. And by manipulating his beads, he filled the barrier.
“Oh, something urgent comes up, so I’ll go first. “Come slowly.”
After saying that, Jeongdo ran straight to his dormitory. Seoyoon and Tinia looked at the scene blankly, and Haesik nodded as if he understood.
“hmm. Looks like spring has finally arrived for you too. For some reason, there were a lot of beautiful women around me, but they didn’t even give me a single glance… Nationality was an issue… omg.”
“… Mr. Haesik?”
“What is this human male saying now?”
Hae-sik fell silent after receiving cold looks from a woman and a wolf.
* * * * * *
“Whew. good.”
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I took a deep breath. Although he knew that no one was there, Jeong-do took a quick look around him and immediately used <Information Draw>.
Now that we are walking down a somewhat changed future path, the scope of information in <Information Gacha>, which receives information from the ‘real universe’, has been reduced. However, this does not mean that <Information Gathering> has become useless. Even if you made that choice, not only would there still be an unchanging future, but you could also use it in the same situation as now.
Green capsule.
A capsule he had seen before appeared before his eyes. Apparently, in the last green capsule, there was a quest to pass a level test in Delaf. So, is this assignment also a test? Jeongdo looked at the capsule with great nervousness.
And as the effect of the capsule breaking appeared, a sentence appeared in front of Jeong Do’s eyes.
<Turn your head and look to the left.>
“… ok?”
I turned my head to the left reflexively.
“hello. Mr. Jeongdo.”
A platinum-haired maid. Winry greeted me gracefully. Jeongdo remained silent, not knowing how to react to this strange prank. Winry asked as if she was puzzled by that level.
“Mr. Jeongdo? “Is there something that makes you uncomfortable?”
“No, that’s not it. I was wondering why Winry suddenly came to visit.”
“That’s to give you information if you’ve reached your limit. I have a lot to explain. “Is there anything you need?”
“Of course it’s necessary, but… .”
In that case, when you reached level 99, it wouldn’t have worked if Winry appeared right away without telling you to use <Information Draw>… Ah, that’s right. He was not alone at that time.
Now, we talked so naturally that I forgot about it, but Winry could only talk to herself who had <Communication-lv.3>. The phrase to use <Information Gathering> meant to create a space where you can be alone.
“It’s scary that this is information that Winry has to explain herself. Are we going to go to another world and take the test again?”
“no. This assignment can be performed on Earth. The content is also not complicated. “All you have to do is subdue one of the great monsters that exist on Earth.”
“Great youkai? “I guess it’s some type of monster, right?”
It was my first time hearing this, but it felt that way. At least he thought his guess was correct, but Winry slowly shook his head.
“It’s similar, but different from a monster. There are many differences, but the biggest difference is that monsters were born in another world, and youkai were born on Earth.”
“… yes?”
I was so surprised that I couldn’t help but ask a question. Separate from monsters, youkai actually exist? However, as far as we know, the existence of a youkai has never been reported. Since Winry can’t lie, it means that it’s not known to the world, or even if it is known, it’s intentionally hidden…
‘Oh, come to think of it.’
I thought this was my first time hearing about it, but after thinking about it, I realized I had heard of it in passing.
It wasn’t something he heard from people in the current era, but was sometimes mentioned by the ancient people he loaded.
Although it was rare in his time, monsters and demonic beasts existed and he had fought them.
People like Jang Ki and Jeong Yak-yong mentioned it. The great youkai mentioned by Winry probably refers to such a being.
And Winry nodded as if her guess was correct.
“As science on Earth developed, most monsters were subdued. But some have survived until now. Good monsters who choose to coexist with humans… And the great monsters that were so powerful that they could not be killed and only succeeded in sealing them. This is a being that you must defeat. If you achieve that feat, you will be able to surpass your limits once again.”
“It’s nice that it’s easy to understand.”
This time, it was again a task to achieve a ‘feat’, except that you had to go somewhere and take the test. Jeongdo suddenly had a question and asked Winry.
“Winry? “If I had defeated that great youkai before taking Delaf’s test, would I have been able to raise my rank?”
“yes. “He could have been recognized for his accomplishments and raised his status.”
“Then, when I reached my last limit, why did you make me take the Sky Island test instead of subjugating the Great Youkai? “I think this is simpler.”
“Of course.”
Winry spoke calmly in response to the question.
“If you had challenged the great youkai at that time, there is a high probability that you would have died.”
Creepy.
Jeongdo felt goosebumps rising at Winry’s calm words. She was definitely something unusual this time. Jeongdo swallowed her dry saliva and asked her again.
“So where is the great youkai?”
“It’s sealed all over the world. Right now, it’s here in Japan and in Korea. It’s up to you where you choose, but I would like to recommend Korea. “The seal there has recently become loose.”
“under.”
Do-do burst into laughter at Winry’s words. I guess she isn’t the type of person to take it easy. It was the moment when the short expedition to Japan came to an end.
‘Then what should we do with the Mt. Fuji spot in the meantime?’
Should the wall be closed while you are in Korea? No, that was a waste. Since he was now level 99, he could no longer level up, but Seoyoon and Haesik were not. After thinking about it for a moment, I asked Winry.
“Winry. “Can I transfer ownership of the Mt. Fuji model beads I received?”
“The rights to Mt. Fuji are compensation given to Jeong Do, so transfer of ownership is impossible. However, it is possible to rent it for a short period of time. “It could be about three months at most.”
“That’s enough.”
“All right. Please give me the marble. “We will register a secondary user for you.”
At Winry’s words, Jeong-do held out a bead, and Winry held the bead for a moment before handing it to Jeong-do again.
“It’s done. Now, if someone else adds mana to it, they will be registered as a secondary user.”

“thank you. Winry.”
“It was nothing. Do you have any other requests or questions?”
“ah. There’s one more thing. “If I use the evolution function I acquired this time, what happens to the characters who were used up as materials?”
Winry realized what Jeongdo was asking and smiled slightly.
“I understand what you’re worried about. To conclude, disappearing from an album does not mean that their records and memories are deleted. If you try it, you will see that you can have a conversation even after being consumed by evolution.”
“That’s really fortunate.”
“However, it is clear that it will disappear from the album, so if you used a character for evolution to which the <Jinyoung> effect is applied, the <Jinyoung> effect will disappear. “It is a natural balance considering the effects of evolution.”
“That’s not a good thing.”
Well, I didn’t even want to go that far. With this, I was satisfied that the discomfort in using evolution had disappeared. If it weren’t for Winry, I wanted to try evolution right now.
“Mr. Jeongdo. The great youkai is by no means weak, even compared to Khaled, whom we met last time. Please be careful.”
“Thank you for your concern. Winry.”
After saying a few words, Winry’s appearance disappeared. She still had the skills of a ghost. Jeongdo shook his head and loaded the album onto the wire.
<Confucius! It’s been a while. Hoo. You seem to be in a good mood. It’s nice to see.>
“haha. “Do you notice it?”
Apparently, the blood of former gamers was boiling over the evolution content that was about to come. To some extent, I was very excited.
The character who would evolve first was decided. He was wired, the character he loaded the most with.
‘Ah, but obviously… .’
There was talk about gold evolving into diamond and diamond evolving into black, but there was no saying that normal cards could evolve into gold. In addition, there was even a notice that evolution was impossible if the character did not have the next level.
Gold wired.
Does it really exist?
“… … .”
<Confucius. Why but? I feel uneasy about the sudden silence.>
“Oh, no. “I had to think for a moment.”
Yes, you will find out if you try. Jeongdo executed the evolution function without further ado.
Clap la la rock.
A virtual album unfolds before your eyes with the sound of the pages turning. It was filled with the characters that had been loaded so far. And two windows appeared above the album.
<Random Evolution>, <Confirmed Evolution>
I was planning on evolving the mammary gland to some extent, so I clicked on confirm evolution. At that moment, a frame appeared above the album, and a larger frame appeared beneath the frame.
<Drag the character that will become the base and place it on the top frame. Please upload other characters to be consumed in the frame below.>
“Ohh. “It’s like this.”
It was an interface that anyone who had played this type of game could recognize at once. Jeong Do found the wire in the album and dragged it to the frame.
<Ouch! Confucius! That picture frame is the ink that is offered as a sacrifice!>
“Oops, mistake. mistake.”
<This is not a matter to be taken lightly!>
There was a minor incident, but the wire was safely dragged into the frame. Surprisingly, this meant that a gold wire existed.
“and. “This is it.”
<… … .>
When I reached level 99, it didn’t appear in the notification window, but it seemed like Normal could be evolved into Gold. Perhaps what the notification window didn’t tell us at that time was that the ‘real universe’ didn’t even think of evolving normal characters? I somehow felt like crying at the treatment received by normal-level characters.
However, unlike evolution from Diamond to Black, which requires consuming 3 or 4 characters, evolution from Normal to Gold required consuming 10 Normal characters. It was probably to prevent mass evolution of gold figures into normal.
“Anyway, let’s get started now.”
<I’m shaking, I’m shaking, Confucius!>
Jeongdo extinguished the fire at the same time as Yoo Seon’s voice was heard.
Faaaat.
The 10 normal business cards used as sacrifices began to rotate in a circle around the frame into which the wire was dragged.
and.
<Congratulations! +7 Wired Construction (Normal) has successfully evolved into +7 Wired Construction (Gold)!>
<Records room category is added.>
<The records of the normal character Aizen and 9 others are stored in the records room. Characters stored in the records room cannot do anything other than talk.>
<You have acquired 10 soul stones (normal). It is automatically stored in inventory.>
Numerous notification windows struck Jeong-do’s field of vision. However, the status window was displayed first before the notification window. And he checked the wired skill column.
‘I guess there is?’
When strengthening Lu Bu, a diamond grade, it was possible to use a black grade skill called Red Toma Summoning as a reinforcement perk. What this means is that when the same character reaches a higher level, skills are added!
So what exactly is Gold Wired’s skill?
“there is!”
A new skill had appeared in Yu Seon’s skill column, where there should have been nothing in the first place.
<Luck Rental>
“Oh oh!”
After confirming that it was a luck-related skill, I reflexively touched the skill and the skill description came to mind.
<Consuming status significantly increases your luck for a certain period of time. As the amount of status you consume increases, your luck increases. (up to 10 possible)>
“… what?”
Gold Wired’s skill <Luck Rental>
Another misfortune following ticket payment.
This was the beginning of so-called double charging.
