Episode 22 Set Items
[The shop window is unlocked.]
[Currently, Jo Hyun-soo’s rank is Bronze.]
-You can upgrade to Silver level with 10,000 points.
[Collect points and upgrade your level!]
[Tip. Beware of fraud when making personal transactions.]
[Tip. You can get items from the auction house that you can’t get from the store.]
It’s a store window.
A place you’ll be frequenting frequently from now on.
A valuable service that sells basic equipment, potions, and artifacts.
I heard that high-grade items come out often. If I get the chance, I’ll buy it right away.
And there are some points at the moment.
Then let’s build up some specs.
“You have to wear gear so you don’t look like a newbie.”
Since the Sangun Guild is chasing me, I must hide my identity as much as possible.
In order to act freely, of course.
They’re now targeting those who’ve just finished the tutorial, so it’ll be even more effective.
“Let’s see.”
I looked at the store window. The list was lined up.
What should I get first? Weapons? Armor? Or artifacts that boost other stats?
If you have the money, buying skill books isn’t a bad idea, but my entire savings is 3,280 points.
First, let’s check the price.
“It’s more expensive than I thought.”
I looked it up just in case and found out that the base is 2,000 points.
It’s only an E-rank skill book. Hmm.
After all, even if your rank is low, your rank will go up as you gain proficiency.
If it is deemed useful, the price seems to go up even if the grade is low.
The skill box, which is considered one level lower than the skill book, also has a base value of 1,500 points.
The lower level is about 1,700 points.
That’s good news, because I still have a low-level skill box that I haven’t used yet.
First, you need to get the equipment and sell it if you don’t have enough.
“Let’s start by choosing armor.”
Weapons come later, because survivability is the most important.
If necessary, you can use the window you currently have.
Since it was something used by a warrior, I can at least admit that it was sturdy.
Or should I sell this too? It’s too conspicuous.
I was exposed to other people when I left the square earlier.
Keep it for now.
“I don’t know what to choose.”
I looked over the list carefully.
There are so many different types. There’s everything from cloth armor to chain mail, plate, combat suits, and leather armor.
If you look further into partial parts and shields, there are even more.
As it is a bronze level shop window, there is nothing particularly outstanding or anything like that.
Because they were all D~F class equipment.
[Tip. C-grade items sometimes appear in the Bronze Grade Shop. How about resetting them sometimes?]
“It’s C-class.”
It’s definitely good though.
[Reset – 22:15 left]
[Can be reset to 1,000 points.]
I don’t want to waste 1000 points on finding them.
There is no guarantee that it will definitely appear, and even if it does, it seems like you won’t have enough points.
Should I just buy anything?
There is also a way to first write roughly, then raise the shop level, and then properly equip it.
This is also something that is ultimately possible only if there is a point.
Capitalism looks the same inside and out.
Let’s just pick something from the list. I’m not in a position to buy something while considering this and that.
“First of all, I need to take care of mobility, so I’ll choose something light.”
-Flash
As I was pressing on the seemingly ordinary chainmail armor, something lit up in the shop window.
A familiar light now.
The S-class power, the eye that gazes upon the stars, has been activated.
[Pelline’s Yellow Body (E)]
-Available for purchase
What is it? I looked at the items.
Yellow armor. It looks quite light, as if it’s been lightened. It also looks comfortable to move around in.
however.
[Pelline’s Yellow Body (E)]
– Defense +3

– Stamina +1
“The option itself is trash?”
Even though it is an E-grade item, it is classified as such.
It is said that, unlike general equipment, it has various effects.
Even if it doesn’t work with other E-class equipment, it will give you +5 defense and +3 to other statuses.
In fact, if you look at the specs alone, it was closer to an F-class than an E-class.
“What are you talking about?”
I decided to buy it.
Since I have benefited from his power so far, I decided to trust him this time too.
There must be something hidden.
At best, it’s an E-grade item. How expensive can it be?
Looking at other E-class items, most of them could be purchased for less than 1,000 points.
-Bbung
I pressed the purchase button without any doubt.
[Purchase Completed!]
[2,000 points will be deducted.]
“uh?”
The points flew away in one go.
For a moment my brain stopped working and I blinked dumbly.
So now 2,000 points have been lost… … .
“Where is this! This isn’t a scam!”
Not just any other thing, but E-class equipment?
Power you bastard! I trusted you!
That doesn’t make sense.
How is this happening?
“Geeeek!”
Deokchun frowns and leaves the place, perhaps because he doesn’t like the way I’m running around.
A look of extreme annoyance.
There are so many different expressions of emotion on the topic of frogs.
Then what are you going to do? Huh? I can’t see anything right now.
“Kuaaaaak─.”
Did he read my mind? Deokchun started to gather his saliva.
“Oh, okay. Just stay still.”
“Okay. Okay.”
I sat quietly on the bed.
Only then did Deokchun nod his head as if he was satisfied.
I had forgotten for a moment that Deokchun was higher in rank than me.
My poor life. How did I come to see the frog’s eyes?
“Phew.”
I let out a sigh, feeling a moment of skepticism about life.
Calm down. The points have already been used up.
[Tip. Products purchased from the store cannot be resold for a week.]
Judging from the tip message, it seems like it would be difficult to get a refund.
A week was by no means a short period for me, who had to climb the tower right away.
I looked at the store window listing items that said SOLD OUT.
“For some reason, unlike other items, it only says that it can be purchased.”
Why didn’t I think it was strange sooner?
Is even the store window trying to fool me?
No. Let me blame myself for falling into such a sloppy trap.
Because the tower is a place where you can’t survive with poor observation skills.
Let’s say you’ve experienced it before.
First, let’s check the balance.
“1,280 points left.”
A little. Now that I have the shop window, I have some idea about points.
That I can figure out what level of points I have.
You can’t buy other items with this.
At most, one E-class item?
If you match it to F-class, it might work out, but in that case, it’s better not to buy it.
Because the performance of F-class equipment itself isn’t that great.
It’s more like a miscellaneous item that is treated as an item because it’s an ordinary object that has options attached to it.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
There is no choice but to sell the lower-level skill boxes.
I took the skill box out of my backpack and brought it to the shop window.
[Would you like to sell the lower skill box?]
[1,700 points. (YES/NO)]
“For sale.”
I was going to write it myself if possible.
Thanks to that, I was able to raise it to 2,980 points.
If I were to do it for sure, there was a way to sell the Arcane Gems in my inventory, but I thought I’d keep those as emergency funds.
You don’t know when or how you’ll need the points, so there’s no need to spend them all. If you exchange them for points, you’ll just end up wanting more.
“Anyway, I think I have enough bullets.”
I feel relieved.
Then there was silence for a second.
Suddenly, I became very curious about the equipment I had just bought.
“What on earth is this that makes it so expensive?”
Was it simply a trap product aimed at fools?
If that was the case, why did the power react?
All this time, the powers that be have only given me positive information.
“Hmm.”
I looked down at the armor I was wearing on my body.
It doesn’t look like anything special, except that it’s yellow.
As I slowly moved my mana and focused my eyes, the power began to manifest.
A floating description window.
[Pelline’s Yellow Body (E)]
-One of the pieces of equipment used by the challenger Feline, who climbed to the 99th floor of the tower a long time ago.
-It’s sealed.
-How about looking for other equipment? Maybe I can get my original power back?
-Set (1/7)
I couldn’t help but be astonished.
“What, what! 99th floor?”
I don’t know the name Peline.
I had never heard of such a name among hunters active in Korea or even overseas.
And isn’t it also talking about power? It’s very old.
It has only been a little over ten years since the tower was built on Earth.
It’s been quite some time, but not so much that you could say it’s been a very long time.
What’s more surprising is that this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this phrase.
“Inventory.”
I took out an intermediate arcane gem.
A shining, sparkling object.
The only A-grade item I have.
[Intermediate Arcane Gem (A)]
– A work by John Traylor, a wise man who once climbed to the 92nd floor.
– Left alone, he created an artificial life form, a homunculus, and attempted to conquer the tower.
-The climb failed, but his achievement remains.
A character named John Traylor is also described as having climbed to the 92nd floor in the past.
This is certain.
“The tower was there before too.”
I don’t know if it was on Earth or somewhere we don’t know about.
There is only one thing that is important.
‘There are items left behind by those who climbed the tower in the past.’
It wasn’t a great discovery.
In fact, aren’t the items we use the same?
Items that cannot be replicated with modern technology are widespread.
Nowadays, with advancements in technology, even craftsmen can make items.
I compared those common items with the two items I got.
There is something different.
‘It’s related to the person who climbed the tower in the past.’
Does this make a big difference?
First of all, Arcane Gems are definitely different.
Because it’s an A-grade intermediate item. It contains the Philosopher’s Stone and is very useful.
The breastplate I’m wearing is also extraordinary.
“It’s sealed. There’s a set item there.”
It’s sealed and has these specs, so it must have been an amazing piece of equipment originally.
Since it was written by someone who climbed up to the 99th floor, there is no need to doubt its performance.
“So, does that mean that items related to those who climbed the tower in the past are better?”
If I’m right.
“I’ll have to look for things like that in the future.”
Shh, the corners of his lips rose.
This is something only I, with S-class powers, can do.
Because the information is not visible to other people.
At best, you’ll only see the item name and any public options.
You might get a good deal.
“We’ll talk about that later.”
Now we have to decide.
I’m not sure whether I should keep using this thing I just bought or not.
I heard that it’s hard to get set items, but the effect when collected is incomparable to other items.
What if I could collect all the set items?
“It’s a huge hit.”
In general, the more set effects, the better.
A 3-set item is better than a 2-set item. In fact, a 4-set item is better than a 3-set item.
The Pelline set consists of a whopping 7 pieces of equipment.
Of course, collecting them won’t be easy.
Because someone else might have it.
In that case, it becomes difficult to obtain the item.
“No.”
Come to think of it, that probably won’t happen, right?
Who would buy a sealed item like that?
It says it’s sealed to me, but to other people it’s just a worthless piece of trash.
And the price isn’t even written properly.
I bought it because I had the power to do so. If I were of sound mind, I wouldn’t have even considered it.
“Okay, decided.”
Collect the Feline set.
Until then, you can use other equipment.
“Since we’ve already done this, let’s go shopping!”
I lit up my eyes and started searching through the store windows.
To find a possible set item.
