28. Bless
Chi-Ik-
Min-ri Min, who had lunch at a steakhouse, felt like the current situation was like a dream.
‘I can’t believe I’m eating while talking to someone I like. Days like this come to me too… … .’
It was a moment I had only imagined, so it did not seem real.
Just like when I was first taken to the other world.
“Do you like steak?”
“Ugh, Joe, I like it.”
“Eat a lot.”
“huh…….”
Minjoo-ri shyly raised the knife.
For a while, the only sounds between them were the sound of meat being chopped.
‘I have to say something… … .’
It was a simple meal, but it felt like we were on a date, so I couldn’t speak.
‘You can’t do this. What should we do if the person who called stays still? The atmosphere becomes awkward for no reason. ‘Let’s be courageous!’
Min Joo-ri broke the awkwardness and started the conversation first.
“How did you win first place in the lottery? I heard you won 5 times in a row?”
“Oh, that? It told me in a dream. I was lucky.”
“Wow… then you must have made a lot of money?”
“To the point where I don’t have to worry about money for the rest of my life? Well, now I have to worry about my life first.”
“Ah! That’s right. I was curious about that. How was the first round? Wasn’t it hard to catch the goblin? I had a hard time.”
It was hard to get the word out, but when I gathered up the courage, I was able to talk without any hesitation.
Moreover, since we had something in common as players, the conversation continued without even noticing the passage of time.
“Where is the area?”
“ESKS45-5.”
“Ah, I’m ESKS122-7… it’s a shame. I won’t be able to meet you in the other world.”
Ryu Min laughed inwardly as he looked at Min Joo-ri, who had a regretful expression on her face.
‘Don’t be disappointed, my friend. ‘We’re bound to meet anyway.’
As the number of survivors decreases, areas naturally merge.
Just because we live in different areas doesn’t mean we can’t continue to meet.
“What is your level?”
Ryu Min thought for a moment about Min Joo-ri’s question.
‘Someday I will have to reveal that it is a black scythe… … .’
I can’t tell the truth yet.
Because Minjoo-ri was not confirmed as an ally.
“Me? 10.”
“Huh? I’m also a 10. Do you have a job?”
“Not yet. You?”
“I was lucky enough to get a job change item. It’s a job called Buffer…”
Ryumin was relieved to hear the word “buffer.”
Fortunately, the future is progressing as we know.
“Buffer? It’s a job that looks like it’s going to give you something? Does it give you a buff like in a game?”
Although I was fully aware of Buffer’s skills, I deliberately pretended not to know.
Only then will you be able to receive a buff from Minjoo-ri.
“Oh, would you like to try it? It’s a buff called Bless, and it has the effect of increasing stats.”
“Oh, really? I want to take it.”
As expected, Minjoo-ri came forward and said he would apply a buff.
This is the sea that Ryumin wanted.
Paaaa-
A cloud of light rose from Min-ri Min’s hand and entered Ryu-min’s head.
Then a message occurred to me.
[All stats increase by 50% due to the effect of Skill Bless.]
[Duration: 02:59:59]
Buffer’s representative skill, Bless.
It is a deceptive buff that increases stats by 50% for 3 hours.
‘As expected, as expected from being the only class, the skill effects are amazing.’
Ryumin looked at the status window and was impressed.
The overall stats were up.
‘It’s good now, but it gets better later.’
As the player’s level increases, the effectiveness of previously learned skills increases by one level.
The same goes for his skill, Seal of Death.
‘When you reach full level, the skill effectiveness will increase twice.’
In other words, a 50% stat increase increases to 100%.
In other words, the growth of Minjoo-ri was also beneficial to Ryu Min.
Because you can receive a buff.
‘This is only when Minjoo-ri reaches max level.’
There is nothing difficult.
Just keep Minjuri alive, receive buffs, and grow together, and you will naturally reach max level.

‘Right now, it may be difficult to receive buffs because the area is different.’
Even if you receive a buff right before going to the other world, the buff will not be maintained.
It’s the same way that wounds in the other world do not apply to the real body.
In other words, the trick of receiving a buff in advance does not work.
‘I’m glad though. Get the buff you want.’
The reason Ryu Min approached Min Joo-ri in the first place was to receive blessings in real life.
‘Because that way you can increase the probability of random gold pockets.’
The random gold pouch obtained as a reward for the first job change is an item that literally gives gold.
Since it is given at random, it is affected by your luck stat.
The higher your luck, the more gold you will get.
‘Here, if you increase your luck to the maximum with the massacre rune effect and then use the pocket… … ?’
You may be able to get more gold than you think.
“Is this good? Thanks for the buff, Juri.”
“Hehe, if you want to get a buff, just tell me anytime. I’ll give it to you, it’s not even work.”
“Okay. But I have one question….”
“Yeah. What is it?”
“What did you ask to see me for? Didn’t you say you had something to say?”
“ah…….”
I was so caught up in the conversation that I didn’t say anything important.
Minjoo-ri’s face was colored with embarrassment.
* * *
“I had a good lunch. See you next time.”
“Yes, let’s fight next round!”
“Tsk, okay. Let’s meet again alive.”
Ryu Min, who waved at Min Joo Ri, turned around with a smile.
As the last person standing, you only get eliminated in the third round?
It’s unimaginable.
The person you should be worried about is Minjoo-ri rather than yourself.
‘Well, if things go as they should in the future, I’ll be able to survive until the 4th round.’
We meet Min-ri Min from the 5th round.
Until then, there is no way for you to intervene because the areas are different.
‘If I can, I’ll survive. Because Minjoo-ri’s rune is that good.’
Since this rune is related to survival, there is no need to worry.
‘By the way, I never thought Minjoo-ri would have that.’
Ryumin recalled his conversation with Min-ri Min during dinner.
-Thank you for supporting 10 million won. Please tell Dad I’m thankful too.
-Is that what you mean by having something to say?
-and… … I will repay the 10 million won somehow.
-You said you didn’t have to pay it back. Just give it to me.
-no. Even if you’re okay, I’m not okay. I will pay you back no matter what. If you don’t like money, try something else… … ah! Take this.
-What is this?
-I got it while hunting in another world. If you don’t want money, I’ll give you this. I don’t know what it is, but it’s an item so it might be useful. ah! It’s my sincerity, so don’t think about rejecting it!
It was expected.
Min Joo-ri hated being in debt, so I thought she would try to repay it somehow.
‘But I never thought they would give me this there.’
Ryu Min took out the item he received from Min Joo Ri from his inventory.
[Lowest Purple Magic Stone]
-Category: Belongings
-Description: A beautiful purple stone. I feel a subtle magical power.
When you kill a monster, there is a low probability that a magic stone will appear.
Red, No, Chop, and Nambo come in various colors, but purple is the most difficult to find.
‘I don’t know what the effect is yet because of the insufficient explanation, but I will find out when I reach level 20. ‘How precious is the Magic Stone?’
At level 20, the [Combination] function is unlocked.
At that time, people will try looking at various items to find the combination method.
‘Then you’ll find out. The fact that additional options can be granted by combining magic stones with equipment.’
Red increases damage, orange increases strength, and yellow increases luck.
‘Green increases agility, and blue increases intelligence.’
Ryumin also had a magic stone that he found while hunting.
It was the lowest grade indigo magic stone that reduced damage received.
‘It’s all good, but the purple magic stone is the most precious. ‘It’s a magic stone that has a low probability of appearing and increases all stats.’
It was also the most necessary magic stone for Ryumin, who wanted to increase his stats evenly.
‘I can’t believe I received something like that for nothing. ‘You’re lucky.’
In fact, the luck stat was also high.
Because the stats had increased by 50% due to Bless.
‘I decided to use the Magic Stone at level 20… … Now that I’ve received the buff as planned, shall I open my gold pockets first?’
Of course, before that, you have to boost your stats with the Rune of Massacre.
How do you raise your stats in a reality where there are no monsters?
‘There’s a way for everything.’
Ryumin took out a sealed plastic bag from his pocket.
The bag contained 100 small mealworms 1 cm in size.
‘The Rune of Massacre’s stats increase by 1% every time the target is killed. It’s the same with bugs.’
There is no rule that you have to kill only monsters to rise.
It applies to anything as long as it is a living object.
This is a fact that has already been verified through testing in the previous episode.
‘There are no bugs in this world, so we have no choice but to kill monsters, but that’s not reality.’
Rather, the bug-infested reality makes stacking easier.
Mealworms were something you could order in the thousands if you had the money.
Ryumin put the envelope on the floor.
He killed the mealworms by stepping on them with his feet.
Sigh-! Sigh-!
[Current kill count: 67/100]
[All stats increase by 67% due to the Rune of Massacre effect.]
[Current kill count: 100/100]
[All stats increase by 100% due to the Rune of Massacre effect.]
I only stepped on it twice, and it filled to 100% in an instant.

[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv40]
[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv60]
[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv99]
My luck was 15, but it has risen to 45.
It has increased threefold with the Rune of Massacre and the Blessing Buff.
‘It’s worth looking forward to the results at this level.’
I can’t say it’s very high, but it was the best I could raise it at the end of the second round.
[Random Gold Pouch]
– Category: Consumables
-Grade: Rare
-Effect: Obtain gold randomly from 1 to 9,999.
-Restrictions on use: Until the next round, beginner level or higher
-Description: A limited-time item given to first-time job changers. If you move on to the next round, the item will automatically disappear. Affected by luck stat.
Ryumin stared at the gold bag he took out of his inventory.
‘Now that you have received the buff is the time when you are most lucky.’
Since it was a limited time item, I couldn’t wait until the next round.
After making a decision, he memorized the starter word.
‘use.’
Ryumin thought as light burst out of his pocket.
‘How much will it cost? Even if the stats are the same, the amount is different every time.’
From before to now, Ryu Min has never missed his first job change.
Of course, I always received and used the gold bag as a reward before going to the third round.
‘The minimum amount was 3,000 gold and the maximum amount was 6,000 gold.’
However, the luck stat at that time was 30.
Unlike now, there was no buff for Minjoo-ri.
So I had no choice but to look forward to it.
Because now I was trying with a higher luck stat than ever before.
At that time, a message indicating the result occurred to me.
at the same time.
‘uh?’
Ryumin’s face became perplexed.
