Episode 28
Rewards (2)
Crisis information refers to information that may change the ‘real universe’ and the current history of the universe depending on the outcome.
‘Real Universe’ seemed not to be happy about such a situation and gave Jeong-do a quest, which he carried out brilliantly.
‘Let’s calm down.’
It is truly a reward from the universe. At this point, I asked Winry, trying to calm my trembling heart.
“What reward will you give? “Is this a skill again?”
“What kind of reward do you want to receive?”
Winry asked back with a meaningful smile. What does that mean? Does this mean he will give him the reward he wants! Jeongdo said in a hurry.
“If I tell you what I want, will you listen to me?”
“I can’t unconditionally listen to it, but I can reflect on it as much as possible. As I said before, the ‘real universe’ is kind to you.”
What he meant was that he would listen within the allowable range. Jeongdo thought about Winry’s words for a moment. What do you need most? The answer came quickly.
“It would be nice to have an artifact or skill that will increase mana. Up to 999? Otherwise, ‘mana is not consumed when using the skill.’ Artifacts with the same effect… .”
“Dismissed.”
Winry said, looking at Jeongdo with a very puzzled expression.
“Even if we broke the upper limit, we broke it by a long way. Didn’t your conscience prick as you spoke? 999? “I guess you were thinking of loading it for me too.”
“… … .”
That was exactly the purpose. Of course, I didn’t say this thinking that it would really come true, so I wasn’t particularly disappointed if it didn’t work out.
“Still, I understand what you’re saying. “The reason you want mana is because you can draw it, right?”
“yes. Yes.”
Mana is the user’s base. It can be used to activate skills or strengthen the body, and is also needed when entering and exiting dungeons. Of course, the more the better, and many users spare no effort to increase their mana.
However, the reason Jeongdo desperately wanted mana was because of his drawing skill. The mechanism for increasing strength was very simple. All you have to do is draw a lot of cards and get gold or higher cards. As long as you have a lot of mana, you can become as strong as you want, so your desire for mana was not at a level compared to other users.
Winry nodded and said as much.
“Then I will allow you to draw more.”
“In the end, you are saying that you will increase mana. great. Even if it’s not an absurd number like before, please give us as many as possible… .”
“no.”
Winry denied that much.
“You can draw more without increasing your mana.”
“Hmm.”
Do-do was lost in thought at Winry’s words. It’s a way to increase the number of draws without increasing mana… What immediately came to mind was the reduction in mana consumption for the draw skill.
At that time, Winry asked Do.
“if. Do you enjoy lottery games?”
“what. Since my job was a full-time job, I tended to play a lot of games.”
In particular, I think I’ve always played mobile games that can be easily played anywhere. And for a mobile game, it was rare for it to not be a lottery game.
“Then it will be easy for you to understand. “I’ll give you a ticket.”
“ah!”
When you play a lottery game, you can receive lottery tickets as rewards for attendance, quests, or events. With that ticket, you could get a free drawing. I was somewhat convinced by Winry’s words, but then a question came to mind.
“How do I get that ticket? “Is it given in the form of a quest like in this case?”
Winry did not answer Jeong-do’s question, but instead asked Jeong-do a question.
“Do you want to draw a lottery while playing a game, but what do you do if you don’t have the materials?”
“Yeah… I usually endure it. Otherwise, I would go on quests and collect materials.”
“What if there is a piece of equipment or card you really want so much that you can’t stand playing roulette right now?”
“Then of course…” Oh, really?”
At least he realized what Winry was going to say and looked at her. Her face had a mischievous smile that I had never seen before.
“I’ll open the payment function. “You can buy a ticket with that.”
It was the moment when Jeong Do was reborn as a money magician.
* * * * * *
‘It’s wise.’
In fact, this is a feeling I have had every day since I acquired the drawing skill.
I want to draw a little more, but why is there no mana?
I’ll give you some money so I can draw more!
And at this moment, that wish has come true. The degree asked Winry.
“It’s good. How much can I buy a ticket for?”
“Earth’s currency is meaningless. After acquiring the lottery skill, Jeongdo accumulated a lot of wealth. “Once you can buy tickets with currency, it’s no different from giving away mana, just that it takes some time.”
“… “It certainly is.”
As Winry said, he is somewhat rich. Starting from the lottery winnings that will be received a year later, to the price of the War And the stronger you become, the more profits you earn from dungeons. It was safe to say that there would never be any regrets about money in the future.
He asked Winry in a slightly regretful tone.
“If not money, what is it? Mana stone?”
I thought it was reasonable to say what I said, but Winry shook her head.
“As long as mana stones are traded as currency, there is no difference between them and currency. To buy a ticket, you have to pay what only you have.”
At Winry’s words, Jeongdo was filled with anxiety. Doesn’t it seem as if they are asking you to give up your life? Jeongdo asked cautiously.
“What do I have to pay?”
“You have to pay for the abilities you have. “You can exchange it for one <Location Draw Ticket> per ability point.”
“yes?”
At first, I thought I had heard wrong. But soon he understood the meaning and screamed.
“Nonsense! “You draw to raise your ability level, but you have to pay for it!”
What kind of devilish idea is this?

“Mr. Jeongdo. calm down. “It’s not that bad.”
Winry began to explain step by step to her excited self.
“Excluding mana, the stats that increase through <Drawing Bond> are 4 to 6 for Gold Business Cards and 14 to 16 for Diamond Business Cards.”
He was truly an agent of the universe. He was perceiving every detail of the information.
“Suppose you buy 10 drawing tickets by paying a skill level of 10. Of course, if you don’t get more than a gold business card even once, you’ll just lose your abilities… Don’t you have ‘10 confirmed rares or higher’?”
“ah!”
I was so embarrassed that I had to pay for abilities that I didn’t even think about it, but it certainly was. Winry continued speaking.
“Even assuming the worst case scenario, one gold business card out of 10. But what if I throw away a diamond here?”
“ah… ah… .”
It could be said that he was truly an agent of the universe. I was selling to sales people!
“Think about it. If you limit it to <Location Draw>, Jeong Do’s luck is not bad at all. In 30 draws, you get diamonds a whopping three times! If you add gold to it… “You can become stronger quickly.”
It’s literally the devil’s whisper. To some extent, he felt himself becoming more and more persuaded.
“That’s definitely true.”
“Yes? Then I will reward you.”
Tiring!
<Payment> will be added to the category list! The abilities paid for through payment are automatically exchanged 1:1 for a <Dating Draw Ticket>. You can participate in the <Drawing Lottery> once with one ticket.>
Jeong-do came to his senses when he heard the notification. However, the compensation had already been received.
“… Winry. “Can I ask you something?”
“yes. Please speak.”
“If I pay for the abilities, will Winry lose anything? “Unlike before, he is very active.”
Winry said with a grin in response to the question.
“I’ll just go. “Because I’m tired.”
With those words, Winry disappeared in an instant.
“… … .”
He came purely on his own terms, gave compensation as he wanted, and left as he wanted. I felt even more tired. And at that moment she heard a knock on the door, as if she had been waiting for Winry to disappear.
smart.
“brother. It’s me. “Can I come in?”
It was Seoyoon.
“uh. okay. “You can come in.”
With a brief answer, Seoyoon entered the hospital room and sat on the chair next to the bed.
“I received a call from the association. “Are you hurt?”
“No, it’s not like that. I just collapsed from overwork. “There are no injuries.”
“thank god.”
Seoyoon lightly sighed in relief. After those words, there was a moment of silence between the two. Before the silence became awkward, Jeong Do spoke up.
“Seo-yoon, do you ever plan on forming a team with me?”
Not all users moved in guild units. Users who don’t like belonging to somewhere usually team up with like-minded people and run dungeons.
While going through this battle, Jeongdo felt the need for a team. This time, fortunately, he was able to stop it because the break occurred in the A-class dungeon where he was waiting, but if it had occurred in the C-class, he could have suffered civilian casualties. If I had a trustworthy team member, I would have been able to prepare for C-rank and come up with a much more flexible strategy. Of course, since Seoyoon is still weak, we should focus on growing together.
“Of course, if you are as talented as you, you will grow much faster if you are promoted by a large guild… .”
“no. I really want to do it. “I’ll get ready right away.”
Seoyoon got up and ran out of the hospital room.
“her… .”
I thought Seo-yoon would accept it, but I never thought that a quiet child would react so violently.
Jeongdo shook his head and laid down on the bed.
* * * * * *
At 10:56 that evening.
Jeong Do was glaring at the status window in the hospital bedroom.
‘Scream? ‘Don’t you say it?’
I couldn’t draw today because I used up my mana during the battle with the kobold. Every time I opened the status window, the <Payment> category caught my eye.
‘Just press it once and let’s see.’
I made up my mind that I would never give up on this and pressed the strings.
Tiring!
<First payment event! When making your first payment, you will receive additional tickets equal to the number of tickets purchased! (Maximum of 10 tickets)>
“… … .”
I almost paid for the very Korean marketing strategy. Ability score of 10 and 20 tickets. If this happens, the minimum is 2 gold. Although the main battle was certain, there was some hesitation.
‘Once you taste it, you won’t be able to get away with it.’
Drawing is gambling. Will I be able to break free the moment I fall in? To some extent, I was worried about that.
As Jeong-do became more and more worried, it was already 11 o’clock.
Tiring!
<Guerrilla event! For one hour from now, you will receive additional tickets equal to the number of tickets you purchased upon payment! (maximum of 10)>
“… Mr. A.”
The abilities he had just a moment ago were
Strength: 41 Stamina: 48 Reflexes: 51 Mana Responsiveness: 37
And 5 minutes later.
Abilities
Strength: 37 Stamina: 44 Reflexes: 49 Mana sensitivity: 37
Tiring!
<<You have obtained 30 bond draw tickets>.>
It was a monumental first day of punishment.
