24.
- Hey, sorry for not replying yesterday.
Kim Dae-seok contacted me the day after I joined Early Evening Guild. As I was about to leave the house to go to work after wearing sneakers, I got a call from Kim Dae-seok.
- I only returned late in the morning yesterday.
“It must be so exciting because it’s a vacation.”
- Yesterday I couldn’t help it! Tae-sung said he brought a girl close to him and introduced her to me!
If it’s Tae-sung, isn’t he the guy who studied and drank alcohol at the same time during the exam period? I asked indifferently.
“So what’s the outcome with the new girl you met?”
- …We decided to be good friends. She was pretty nice.
That’s right. It was the expected result.
- Ah-hm. Anyway, about what you told.
Kim Dae-seok, who coughed once, reminded me of the staff I had lost yesterday.
A weapon with a stat of Lux 2.0. The Fever Guild master, who took it, said it was definitely expensive.
- What kind of staff is it?
“Solis level 4.”
- Oh, so it’s going to be expensive? Are you going to buy it?
“No. I’m not saying I’m going to buy...…”
Was that expensive? I sighed, rubbing my forehead in the rushing fatigue.
“I lost it.”
- Un? Lost? What?
“Solis’ level 4 staff with a stat of Lux. I lost it.”
- What?
Kim Dae-seok, who did not understand what I was saying, asked in a stupid voice.
- How do you have it?
“I got it. As a gift.”
- What? Crazy, from whom?
“….Well. The guy who always gives me things.”
- Is it from Early Evening?
“……”
Even without an answer, the meaning of the silence was clear.
- Wow… oh my........
“Tell me how expensive it is.”
- Well. It’s definitely not the final level either. But it’s still expensive though. I also don’t know the proper price for mage items... Maybe 1.6 million won or so?
1.6 million won? So, it’s about 160 ten thousand won in cash?
- It could be more expensive now. The price is constantly changing, and the price of Lux goes up over time.
Crazy. So, have I been carrying around a weapon worth of 1.6 ten million won without even reaching my max level?
- The reason it’s exceptionally expensive compared to others is that it’s difficult to make. To enhance Lux, you need an item called ‘Erg of Light’, which is only occasionally released through events.
“So, it’s only released through events?”
- Unn. 1 Luck is cheap. When a user crafts a weapon, there’s a certain probability that a staff with 1 Luck will appear. But for 2 lux, you have to use erg, but the success rate is extremely low. It’s probably around 5% or 6%?
“That’s low.”
- Besides, Erg is only sometimes released through events, making it more difficult to succeed.
I remembered the first time Yoo Chae handed the Solis staff to me. When I searched the auction house, I remembered that the Lux 1.0 Quarterfinal Luna staff was 5,000 gold.
Anyway, I need to fix this personality that gives a rough pass on anything that’s been given to me. As I thought about that, I felt something strange and frowned.
“Wait, it’s so difficult for the enhancement to succeed, but why isn’t there any explanation on the staff? It just said Lux 2.0.”
- It’s probably because Lux is a lower job. But Gaeji is a basic job. If you enhance the buff with Lux turned on, the floating coefficient is at least 1.5 times that of the others.
“So absurd.”
- Besides, Solis is a staff with a bit of a price, so when the two are combined, they are more expensive than the others. I also don’t know the buff coefficient exactly, so it’s just for reference. If you want to know properly, I think I’ll have to turn on Zenoris later and ask Guild members to find more info.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll figure out the rest.”
This is enough to know just the basic information. For more details, I’ll throw that information at him and grab that Yoo Chae guy who pretended not to know and ask.
- Okay. But how did you lose it? Did it drop when you died?
I briefly explained what happened yesterday. Kim Dae-seok, who listened with interest, said with a puzzled look when my story was over.
- The situation is a mess. Why do you get into situations like this all the time?
“I don’t know.”
- Hey hey, you aren’t going to quit this game, are you? You held out when Early Evening Gilma was fooling around. Think of the beginner starter pack I bought!
“Shut up. I have to go to part-time, so I’m hanging up now.”
I hung up on Kim Dae-seok mercilessly and thought about the staff again. That’s 160 million won. Besides, if you enhance it, it gets more expensive, and it’s more of a background weapon.
‘…Isn’t this pretty bad?’
The duet between Cotton Candy Fox and Me, let’s turn the situation around and reach the max level first. And then bring it back. My pretty and lovely expensive staff.
***
When I returned home from working part-time, I immediately connected to Zenoris after washing up. As soon as the system message stating that I was logged in appeared, the guild chat started pouring in.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung!
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you here?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung!!
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Do you want to go on a raid with me today?
This is definitely not a dog begging to go for a walk...…….
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Imma get out of here
[Guild] Mocha Bread: till the selection ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: When the selection is over
[Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: Are you saying you’re going to get out of the guild, -nim?
[Guild] Harn: -nim hi hi
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: haha No way, right~
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Loyalty Loyalty ^^7
[Guild] Drink some water: hi hi
[Guild] I’m Sleppy: Haiyo
[Guild] Drink some water: Going on a raid?
[Guild] Drink some water: There’s going to be another newbie coming with us
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: Shelton normal mode let’s go
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: But I
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: I don’t know anything, so you should to tell me about the raid
[Guild] Drink some water: ok ok
[Guild] Drink some water: Normal mode is easy if we all DC and do it together
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Shelton? Make room for me
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Please put me in too, I’m heartbrokenㅠ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: What about me?? Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, of course I am with you, right?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung?
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: Alright, you can come too;
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Yesㅎㅡㅎ
When will he get sick of me? After checking the equipment, I asked Water.
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: When do we leave?
[Guild] Drink some water: Well
[Guild] Drink some water: In about 15 minutes later?
[Guild] Drink some water: Go to Shelton first, okay?
[Guild] Drink some water: we’ll be there with the other newbie as soon as we can
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: ok ok
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I’m already in front of the dungeon!!
[Guild] Harn: Shelton has a party with limit to 7 members
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: First come first serve ㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I’m already in front of the dungeon, count me in too
[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: what? That’s so fast;
After I arrived at the entrance of the Shelton dungeon by moving quickly, I found the guild members standing among several users.
[All] Yoo Chae: Hyung!
[All] Yoo Chae: Come here!
Yoo Chae, who saw me, ran to me and showed empathy with shame along with the party window. I clicked on the party window [111111] above his character to enter the party.
[Party] Yoo Chae: hahahahahaha
[Party] Crazy hunting friend: -nim Hai
[Party] Harn: hi hi
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Now let’s wait for Water-nim and the newbie
I tried to ignore Yoo Chae spinning around me and opened the inventory window. The original Lux 2.0 Solis staff was taken away, but it was not like I didn’t have any other weapons to use.
A guild member from Fever Guild dropped when he died. Although it’s a Luna staff, it was worth using it to a certain extent since it’s level 5. I wore it first.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung
[Party] Yoo Chae: Is that a new staff?
As soon as I put on my weapon, Yoo Chae quickly stuck to me and sent me a question. I could feel the dog’s tail rustling behind his back.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung
[Party] Yoo Chae: Is it enhanced?
[Party] Yoo Chae: Shall I take a look at its condition?
[Party] Crazy hunting friend: Gilma-nim, do your best
[Party] Crazy hunting friend: You're making a fuss as usual..
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋ
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Not surprisingㅋ
[Party] Harn: yeah;
I ignored all of Yoo Chae’s words and swung the staff as it was. The staff slapped the head of the character Yoo Chae with a pounding sound.
[Party] Yoo Chae: ???
Yoo Chae, who couldn’t avoid being close to me for no reason and got beaten, was startled and started chatting.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: you need to be beaten
[Party] Yoo Chae: What?
As I continued to beat Yoo Chae with a flat blow, Yoo Chae, who had quietly endured all the beatings, began to run away. Do you think I’ll stop here? I followed him in a hurry and kept hitting him with a flat blow.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Hyungㅠ.ㅠ
[Party] Yoo Chae: It hurts!
[Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung ㅜㅜ
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Of course
[Party] Yoo Chae: Huk.. ㅜㅡㅜ
It would hurt, but the difference in specs is already huge, and it’s made for a mage, so no matter how hard you hit, the number of deals was only 10 or 20. With this kind of damage, even 200 hits won’t kill you.
[Party] Crazy hunting friend: Now you’re trying to catch him
[Party] Harn: Just ignore it and watch YouTube ㅋㅋ
