Level 1 Player

Chapter 210 Ganghwa Stone

“Quickly cast a seal skill or something.”

Guest put aside the thoughts in his head and passed the point to Hyunseong.

Hyunseong received points from Gespit and cast the seal skill.

“The efficiency has improved a lot.”

In the past, the maximum stat was 30.

But now it has increased to 70.

“So, with the points you just gave me, I think I can only do it five times.”

“I get it. Don’t take it.”

At Gespit’s words, Hyunseong casts the seal skill one after another.

“Did you cast the seal skill on quite a few people besides me?”

Hyunseong nodded his head at Geth Pete’s question.

Baekhwa and Jena, as well as those who took off their allies’ bridles, gave Hyunseong points and cast the seal skill.

‘You’re not the only one getting stronger, all the level 1 players of your allies are getting stronger.’

Guest was the level 1 player who benefited the most from Hyunseong.

That’s because I got a huge amount of points through a partnership.

One other friendly level 1 player also benefited large or small from Hyunseong.

In particular, in the case of the seal skill, it had a significant advantage in that it raises the stats of those who have taken off the stagnation bridle.

‘Even if one hundred more years pass, the balance between the friendly dimension and the enemy’s dimension will be completely shattered.’

Perhaps the day will come when the level 1 players of the friendly dimension will overwhelm the level 1 players of the enemy level.

If there’s one problem… … .

‘They wouldn’t have known about it unless they were stupid.’

I thought that perhaps within a few decades, the long-standing peace could be broken and an all-out war could break out again.

Hana Guest did not speak her thoughts out of her mouth.

He didn’t change the future just because he spoke.

It was also funny to not strengthen the forces of our allies because we were afraid of the invasion of the enemy during a ceasefire.

‘It was foreseen anyway.’

As long as there was Choi Hyunseong, the balance between friendly and enemy forces was bound to be broken someday.

It’s just that the timing has been moved up a bit due to the seal skill.

‘If there is a war again, I will completely trample you.’

Gespit wasn’t a war-fearing player.

* * *

Even after completing all his feats, Hyunseong was engrossed in the hunt.

He was blocked from hunting monsters to obtain achievements, but he was able to continue to receive points.

‘Still, it’s too inefficient.’

Most of the points Hyunseong gets came from trading and casting seals.

The points earned from monsters were less than 1/100 of Hyunseong’s total income.

‘Because it’s better than nothing.’

Hyunseong collected dust and continued his hunt, thinking it was Taesan.

Still, Hyunseong checked the system shop in the middle.

It was because of the expectation that a special item such as a unique grade skill book would appear.

“uh?”

In Hyunseong’s eyes, an item that had never been registered in the system store came into view.

‘what’s this?’

Hyunseong checked his item information with a surprised expression.

[Enhanced Stone – Normal Grade]

– Consumable items- Strengthens general grade weapons and armor.

-If enhancement fails, all existing enhancement levels are reset.

‘Isn’t that the reinforcement spell in the game?’

A reinforcement stone that strengthens weapons and armor.

It appeared in reality, not in a game.

The grades also varied from normal grade to no grade.

‘How did this happen?’

Hyunseong confirmed the name of the seller.

-Seller: Kutebnin

It was a familiar name.

This is because he was one of those who took off the bridle that often stamped Hyunseong.

‘Let’s get in touch.’

Hyunseong pulled out his smartphone and called Kutebnin.

-Uh, Choi Hyunseong player. What’s up?

“I contacted you after seeing an item called enchantment stone registered in the system store.”

-Hahaha! saw? Thanks, it’s all thanks to you.

“Yes? What is that?”

In response to Hyunseong’s question, Kutebnin explained the reason for creating an item called Ganghwaseok.

Kutebnin was a production player in the production line, which was a very small number among those who took off the bridle.

He earned points mainly by producing and selling weapons and armor, and of course his powers were awakened in the same series.

The problem is that there is a restriction that only Kutebnin himself can use the weapons and armor made with his power.

I tried to remove the constraint using points, but failed every time.

Then, while playing the game, he saw an item called Ganghwa Stone and got a big realization.

After that, he worked for a long time to make enchanted stone, and it finally paid off.

-Because I can get stronger and earn points, so it’s one stone two set. So now I’m working on making a Blessed Enhancement Stone.

“Is that really possible?”

– It will take a little while, but it will be possible.

Hyunseong’s face brightened upon hearing Kutebnin’s words.

Hyunseong can enhance his skills through a unique ability gacha.

You can also increase the stats through the seal skill.

But he had no way to enhance items such as weapons or armor.

But that’s how it came about.

“If you have any non-grade enhancement stones, please sell them to me. I want to trade directly.”

If you buy from the system store, there is a 20% commission.

But what about direct trading?

You can save 20% commission.

What if the player is unfamiliar with Kutebnin?

I have no choice but to use the system shop to cry and eat mustard.

However, Hyunseong was acquainted with Kutebnin.

– I see. Pay the reward with the seal skill instead of points.

“all right. Please call me right away.”

– Don’t do that.

-Employer Kutebnin has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

At the same time as Kutevnin replied, he sent a message to hire a mercenary.

Hyunseong immediately clicked yes.

Wrath!

Hyunseong’s figure disappeared with a bright glow.

“Come here.”

Kutebnin greeted Hyunseong with a bright face.

“How many pieces do you have?”

“Right now, there are only about 20.”

Hyunseong gave a slightly disappointing expression at Kutebnin’s answer.

This is because the amount was not so much considering the disadvantage that the existing enhancement level is initialized when enhancement fails.

“Don’t worry too much, production continues to grow.”

“all right.”

Hyunseong and Kutebnin exchanged reinforcement stone and seal skill casting.

“Can I try it here?”

At Hyunseong’s words, Kutebnin nodded.

‘Let’s try it.’

Hyunseong applied Ganghwa Stone to his Dragon Blood Sword.

– I used reinforcement stone.

– Reinforcement was successful.

– The Dragon Blood Sword has been strengthened.

It succeeded right away on the first try.

‘I’ve gotten stronger.’

The strength of the dragon blood sword has increased.

“If possible, I’m satisfied with the third round, and after the fourth round, the probability of failure is high.”

“How far has Kutevnin-sama been successful?”

“me? It was all me and I got it to the quarterfinals.”

“How many reinforcement stones did you invest?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Kutebnin tilted his head and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know exactly.”

“Can you tell me a little bit?”

“Well, it seems like it took hundreds or more to make one item into the 7th.”

Hearing Kutebnin’s answer, Hyunseong was stunned.

‘The probability of success is very low.’

It was a money pit that only a maker who could make ganghwaseok directly could do.

“Actually, that was the result of making sacrifices and making sacrifices. The blessed Ganghwa Stone should be completed soon.”

Hyunseong, who listened to Kutebnin, also hoped that the blessed Ganghwaseok would be completed quickly.

This will reduce the loss of flying due to failure.

Hyunseong made the Dragon Blood Sword into three.

Fortunately, there were no failures in the middle.

Hyunseong tried to apply reinforcement stone to the armor.

Then a question arose.

“Are the set items being strengthened all at once?”

Hyunseong asked with anticipation.

“No, you have to paint them all one by one.”

But that hope was terribly shattered.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

It seemed that it would be difficult to complete the basic 3 strengths with 20 reinforcement stones.

The quantity was not enough… … .

– I used reinforcement stone.

– Failed to upgrade.

-All existing enhancements have been reset.It was because there were a lot of cases where I failed halfway through the third round.

“Then let’s go. Oh, and if you produce reinforcement stones in the future, please do not sell them to the system shop and let me know first. Then I will cast the seal skill at a slightly discounted price.”

“I will definitely do that. So don’t worry.”

Hyunseong, who heard Kutebnin’s confirmation, returned to Earth again.

‘I need more reinforcement stones.’

He lost quite a few points to enhance the item, but it was not wasted.

Because there are many ways that Hyunseong can become stronger by using points, the more the better.

* * *

Time went on and on.

Kutebnin eventually created the Blessed Enhancement Stone.

Hyunseong used his seal skill as a bait to pre-purchase the blessed reinforcement stone and then strengthened his item.

Skill enhancement due to the unique power gacha.

Stat increase due to the seal skill.

Item enhancement with Blessed Enhancement Stone.

The result of matching all three beats, which can be said to be the basics of the player… … .

Hyunseong quickly went beyond those who took off his old bridles.

However, the difference was still negligible.

But what if more time passes?

It was clear that he would far overtake those who had taken off the other bridles.

Those who took off the bridle of friends who were close to Hyunseong, such as Guest, Baekhwa, and Jenna, were happy with Hyunseong’s growth.

It was the same for those who took off the bridles of other allies.

There were rare people who were jealous of Hyunseong’s solo, but that was all.

He only satisfies himself, but did not eat to the point of harming Hyunseong directly.

Anyway, Hyunseong and they were allies in the same camp.

However, the situation was a little different for those who took off the bridle of the enemy.

“ Choi Hyunseong’s growth rate is too fast.”

“If you leave it like this, it will completely destroy the balance between the allies and the enemies.”

Those who took off the enemy’s bridle were able to grasp Hyunseong’s growth rate relatively accurately.

The reason was that the exchange between the enemy and the friendly people had not been completely cut off.

Hyunseong brought Cairo, a member of the Red Army, under his command and made him his subordinate.

This meant that those who had removed the enemy’s bridle could use the same method.

That wasn’t the end.

Hyunseong created an environment where enemy and friendly players can interact through the game.

He was able to exchange information without having to sow a spy or take the opposing player under his control.

“I think I can see why Beruin tried to get rid of the Choi Hyunseong player using Chu Baek-seol.”

The Choi Hyunseong player was an ecosystem destroyer.

With electronic products and cultural goods as weapons, he indiscriminately absorbed points from both the enemy and the allies.

After that, he quickly became stronger using the points he had absorbed.

If he was a person who took off the normal bridle, he would have had a lot of difficulties in strengthening or utilizing his powers, even if he had gained a lot of points.

However, Choi Hyunseong did not care about such difficulties and became stronger.

“Due to the skill of the seal, all those who have taken off the yoke of the enemy are getting stronger.”

“If time goes by like this, we will be defeated without even being able to properly resist.”

“You can’t be defeated like this in vain.”

The unbridled ones gathered in one place agreed.

Among them, there were main radio waves, and there were coin groups.

However, their conclusion was one.

“We need to get rid of the irregular Choi Hyunseong player.”

It was the extermination of ecosystem-disrupting species.
