44.
When we moved to the Pherocco lighthouse with the guild members who were watching the staff enhancement, Yoo Chae was waiting for us with a fortified altar installed there.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, why did you bring along garbage with you?
[Guild] Bright Clouds: cc
[Guild] Mocha Bread: ㄷㄷ
[Guild] Staric: ㄷㄷ
… No, did you just wait to say that to me? Anyway.
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: what Garbage
[Guild] I’m sleepy: Why don’t you start talking nicely?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅠㅡㅠ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ♥ Why do you have garbage with you?♡
[Guild] Drink some water: Uckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Haerun: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Making it pretty by adding decorations fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: For reals, it’s super annoying
As usual. What are you all doing by nagging? While I shook my head, Yoo Chae made a transaction.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Simple for now
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I prepared about 70
70 Enhancement Stones and Gold appeared in the trading window.
[Guild] Drink some water: ㅁㅊ70?
[Guild] Let’s go: What?
[Guild] Let’s go: around 70?
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Enhancement stones
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Real-time relaying of staff enhancement for Sleepy-nim’s staff at Pherocco Lighthouse
[Guild] Let’s do it: ho
[Guild] Let’s do it: Let’s run
[Guild] I’m Dorahee: Can I go too? ㅎㅎ
[Guild] Drink some water: ㄱㄱㄱㄱ
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Wow around 70
[Guild] Mocha Bread: 00 it’s possible to reach level 7
[Guild] TheHunter: Just try for level 7
[Guild] TheHunter: If you hit the jackpot, you can reach level 8
[Guild] Let’s go all in: In the past, when I was strengthening the staff
[Guild] Let’s go all in: I think I got to the level 8 with about 80
[Guild] Let’s go all in: But back then I had some luck
Enhancement stones are required to enhance any weapon. However, these enhancement stones were a bit pricey because it was a material that could only be obtained with a certain probability in raids of hard mode difficulty or higher.
[Guild] I’m sleepy: ㄳㄳ
[Guild] I’m sleepy: I’ll only take Enhancement Stones
[Guild] Yoo Chae: You can take them all.. ㅜㅡㅜ
[Guild] I’m sleepy: I also have gold
Enhancing stones alone cost quite a bit of money, but receiving support from Yoo Chae, even for the gold used for enhancing, made my conscience hurt a bit. I refused the gold and took only the enhancement stones and moved in front of the altar.
[Guild] Drink some water: But it seems like
[Guild] Drink some water: Sleepy is good at this
[Guild] Bright Clouds: for reals
[Guild] Bright Clouds: I bet you’ll be very lucky
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Didn’t the HOL updated today?
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: What if it really reaches level 8?
[Guild] Haerun: Those who are good at gaming are luckyㅠ
Reading the guild chat that came up, I became a bit embarrassed. I’m sorry I didn’t live up to the expectations of the guild members, but I...………
“Ha.......”
I had bad luck.
It’s been years since I’ve played the game, and I’ve never challenged against this gambling system. From a simple mobile game to a lottery event, I was the one who ruined everything very evenly.
Gacha, also known as box can, all failed or low-grade items appeared, and when strengthening, they had to work twice as hard as others to succeed.
‘I hope it won’t happen this time.’
Swallowing dry saliva, I carefully moved my mouse and clicked on the reinforcement altar. Then, a window popped up to put reinforcement stones and weapons.
Currently, my staff is in level 6. To advance to level 7, I needed 10 enhancement stones and 150,000 gold. The success rate is 40%, and as the level of enhancement increases, the probability of success decreases, and the amount of enhancement stones and gold required increases.
After placing the 10 Enhancement Stones received from Yoo Chae and the staff on the altar, press the [Start Enhancement] button.
Please please… !
Quarreureung!
Before the prayer was over, black lightning struck between the character and the altar. And at the same time [Enhancement failed. The enhancement level is going down.] appeared in the center of the screen.
After confirming that the staff Enhancement level had gone down from 6 to 5, I put my hand on my forehead and groaned.
[Guild] Haerun: Huck..
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Eh? did you fail?
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Ou...
[Guild] Let’s go all in: Hi-hik
The lightning that appears when reinforcement fails is visible to others. The guild members who had been whispering behind me as I stood lonely after being struck by lightning rushed to comfort me.
[Guild] Drink some water: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ
[Guild] Drink some water: Originally, I started after failing ㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Haerun: ㅁㅊ요
[Guild] Haerun: If you succeed from the start, it’s no fun ah,ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Let’s do it: It’s just back luckㅇㅈ?
[Guild] Bright Clouds: ㅇㅈ
[Guild] TheHunter: But even if you fail in level 5, you won’t fall.
[Guild] Staric: 00
[Guild] Staric: Now It’s only goes up
[Guild] Bright Clouds: 5->6 What was the probability of success?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: 40% or 45%..
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Not really high?
[Guild] I’m Dorahee: 45% ㅎㅎ
[Guild] Let’s do it: Didn’t Rahee strengthen her weapon?
[Guild] I’m Dorahee: Yes Yes
[Guild] I’m Dorahee: I did this because of help from Water-unnie a while ago
[Guild] Drink some water: ㅇㅇ
[Guild] Drink some water: I guess I just stayed by your side ㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Drink some water: Rahee still made it to level 8
[Guild] Drink some water: how many enchantment stones did you use?
[Guild] This is Dorahee: about 90 of them ㅎㅎ
[Guild] TheHunter: Were you lucky if you reached level 8 with 90 stones?
[Guild] Bright Clouds: If you only have 90 of them, it’s a complete gain.
[Guild] I’m Dorahee: Sleepy-nim, You can do it too~!
Dorahee already got to level 8. Well, from the weapon I pulled out in yesterday’s tryouts, I remember that there was a faint golden light.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Go for itㅜㅡㅜ!
Well, Yoo Chae, who even prepared an altar with the Enhancement stones, is cheering me on like that, so I can’t give up now. In addition, I lost one of the enchantment levels he had raised from Fever, so I had to restore at least that one.
Still, when I went up from 5 to the 6 level, I felt much less pressure because even if I failed, my level didn’t drop. First of all, let’s make it again from the 6th river. You said the odds were 45%, right?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: I’m going again..
[Guild] Drink some water: ㄱㄱㄱㄱ
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Hot!!
[Guild] Mocha Bread: isha isha!
The guild members danced hard behind me, waving their arms at the right timing as I pressed the altar to place the enhancement stones and the staff.
Alright, get that energy and try again! I feel fine this time! Here goes!
Quarreureung!
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Uh-huk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Let’s do it: No, why again?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Hmm.. Sleepy-nim, you’re really good at this game, but you’re a bit unluckyㅋ..
[Guild] Let’s go all in: frㅋㅋ
Did you get the energy of the strange guys?
I should have abandoned all those useless guys... Suddenly, regrets came flooding back.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. It’s okay
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I bought a lot of enhancement stones knowing that.
Who is this guy who noticed in advance that I’m unlucky and gives comfort like a pro?
On the contrary, when I heard that sound, I suddenly stuck my head out.
Yeah, what do I want? Let’s reach up until level 7 only. Dorahee only reached level 8 with 90 only. Then 70 in the 7th round should be enough.
Good. Let’s try again. I eagerly pressed the altar again, put the enhancement stone and staff in, and pressed the start enhancement button.
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Tring!
[Enhancement succeeded. The Enhancement level has gone up.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed. The enhancement level has gone down.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Quarreureung!
[Enhancement failed.]
Fuck!
Buy 70 Enchantment Stones that Yoo Chae gave you.
Having used up everything between meals, I fell onto the desk clutching my head. As the situation became serious, the guild members also stopped teasing and panicked.
[Guild] Bright Clouds: No.. Umㄷㄷ..
[Guild] Drink some water: How many times do you fail?
[Guild] Staric: It would be faster to count the number of successes
[Guild] Haerun: Hey, someone worse than Staric-nim is here.
[Guild] Let’s do it: it was your best effort, it’s not bad luck..
[Guild] Let’s go all in: Oh, the tears cover my face ㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ
This situation that ended in level 5 was absurd, so I just laughed out loud.
No, how could it fail like this? Isn’t this enough that the probability of success is 10% and 5%, not 45% and 40%?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: Game of luck-nim
[Guild] Haerun: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Staric: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Staric: It doesn’t look like Game of luck’s business is hereㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Bright Clouds: No, but a little ㅋㅋㅋㅋthis kinda luckㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: It’s level 5 now, right?
[Guild] I’m Sleepy: En
I had run out of Enchantment Stones, so I had to buy Enchantment Stones to further strengthen them. I turned on the auction house to buy a few dozen of the ruined ones and try to restore them to the top 6, but Yoo Chae’s chatting came up.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Can I replace you?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: ?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: Enhancement?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes I’ll try
Do you mean enhancing it? Could you? There’s nothing difficult about just handing over the staff.
[Guild] Drink some water: yes that would be better
[Guild] Haerun: ㅁㅈGilma-nim, enhancement Luck is coming for you
[Guild] Haerun: I think it would be better to leave it to you..
[Guild] Let’s do it: No, first of all, the person who put 2 Luck on that staff is also Gilma-nim ah
[Guild] Staric: Ah fr?
[Guild] TheHunter: 00 The odds of Erg are low, but you succeeded at once..
After hearing Yoo Chae’s proposal, the guild members rushed forward and chatted up a storm. That’s right. Come to think of it, Yoo Chae had success with Erg before.
Then, Yoo Chae is not only good at games, but also has this kind of luck? In what past life did he save me?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: ok
[Guild] I’m sleepy: do it
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Of course hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: If I succeed to level 7
Yoo Chae, who hesitated for a while, continued chatting.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Please marry me
