All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 078

A long time passed.

Goldrich, who had been anxiously agonizing, finally made his decision.

“Damn it, I’ll sell it!”

“Okay! Thank you!”

With gratitude like someone buying everything for 4 dollars, Shin Hyeok immediately paid 1 million Achievement points, fearing Goldrich might change his mind.

Goldrich, who calculated it with a tearful face, grabbed my sleeve with an anxious voice.

“You’ll really introduce me later, right? If you don’t, I’ll really throw myself on the ground?”

“I said I would. I also needed to establish a sales channel, so don’t worry.”

“Haa… Since becoming a merchant, I’ve never done such a losing business…”

“Strictly speaking, this isn’t a loss either. You lose the battle but win the war. Right?”

“…Sigh, I understand. This is my business card. The usage method is-“

“You inject energy into it and a signal goes to you. Then you receive that signal and get summoned.”

“…You really know well. That’s correct. Then I hope we can meet together with that craftsman next time.”

Only after hearing my definitive answer did he shed his anxious expression and hand me the wandering merchant’s business card before bidding farewell.

Soon, with Goldrich disappearing in a bright flash of light, I immediately used the items I purchased from him.

“Enhancement stone. Use on Absorption Armor.”

Paaaaat!

[Absorption Armor+1]

* Legendary grade

An item that once held the power of a great demon has partially regained its past glory

* All Stats + 113 (+13)

* Defense + 1,666 (+166)

* Unique Skill: Shock Absorption+

* Unique Skill: Shock Release+

* Unique Skill: Shock Devouring+

* This item can grow.

“Nice.”

A 10% increase.

One might think it’s nothing special, but the effort and wealth needed to bridge this difference was enormous.

Especially since this amplification rate would be maintained even when the Absorption Armor grew to Sinwha grade.

Moreover, the unique skills also became much more powerful with the + mark attached, so the Absorption Armor’s growth rate wasn’t just a mere 10%.

Anyway, satisfied with the results, Shin Hyeok moved on to the next item.

“Scroll that Awakens the Origin.”

-Caw! Caw caw caw!

“Yeah yeah, I’m going to use it on you.”

Seeing Kkamak circling around him and cawing, instinctively knowing this item would help him, Shin Hyeok chuckled and immediately used the scroll on Kkamak.

Hwaaaaaaak!

Just like when using the enhancement stone, a bright flash of light burst from Kkamak.

Where the light settled.

Kkamak was definitely 180 degrees different from before.

First, his size had grown larger.

Next, his feather color, which had been mainly brown with black mixed in, was now completely dyed black.

Lastly-

“Golden eyes? That suits you well. Pretty.”

His two eyes were dyed golden.

Of course, it didn’t last continuously, so they returned to their original black eyes before long.

Anyway, having confirmed all the physical changes, Shin Hyeok immediately checked Kkamak’s messages.

[Pet: Kkamak has grown to Unique grade.]

[Pet: Kkamak’s species has evolved from Crow to Black Gold-Craving Bird.]

“Oh, Unique. This was about time. But Black Gold-Craving Bird? It’s a species I’ve never seen. What kind of species is this?”

First, Kkamak had grown to Unique grade.

Since he had stayed at Rare grade for a long time, Shin Hyeok thought this was about time, so it wasn’t strange.

But the next message was ambiguous.

Black Gold-Craving Bird.

Literally translated, it would roughly mean a black bird that craves gold.

Naturally, it was a species that even pre-regression Shin Hyeok had never heard of.

“When you open the origin, you become a unique species, so it’s natural.”

Of course, considering that opening a pet’s inherent origin meant it could no longer exist within the framework of ordinary species, this was an expected result, so Shin Hyeok didn’t mind and checked Kkamak’s status window.

[Status Window]

Name: Kkamak

(Stats)

Strength: 245 Stamina: 238 Intelligence: 230 Mana: 240 Gold Power: 1

(Traits)

1. Equipment Transformation

2. Feather Storm

3. Gold Eating

“First, the stats have skyrocketed. At this level, it would be meaningful help even for the current me? When using Equipment Transformation, half of all stats are added… roughly All Stats +100 grade equipment? Ha, that’s legendary-grade equipment level?”

The first change was the skyrocketed stats.

Of course, even with this much growth, it would be hard to deal meaningful damage to enemies.

The current Shin Hyeok was playing at Diamond level, while Kkamak was at most early-to-mid Gold level.

But when Equipment Transformation was used, it would be different.

It would be like having equipment worth All Stats +100.

But was Kkamak not helpful? That wasn’t the case either-

“Gold Power. He’s opening this? Hmm, it’s good but… Yeah, good is good.”

Because origin-awakened Kkamak had opened the stat: Gold Power.

Gold Power.

Like the special stat that Goldrich, who had just disappeared, used, its power was indescribable.

If he slowly grew Gold Power, it was obvious that Kkamak would become much stronger than pets of the same level.

Because special stats were inherently like that.

Of course, massive wealth would be needed in that process, but Shin Hyeok’s financial power could somehow cover that.

-There was a time when Shin Hyeok thought like that too.

[Gold Eating]

-Classification: Trait [Unique]

└Can eat anything related to wealth.

└When eating wealth, stats increase and grade rises.

└Gold Power’s growth speed increases.

└Penalty: Cannot eat anything not related to wealth.

“…Huh?”

At this additional blow in a situation where massive wealth was already needed to raise Gold Power, Shin Hyeok couldn’t help but stagger.

Money and money and more money.

-Caw! Caw caw! Caaaaw!

Not knowing Shin Hyeok’s feelings, Kkamak was just happy.

* * *

“…I’ll have to work hard to make money.”

After barely escaping from the shock.

Shin Hyeok sighed and shook his head.

It was already spilled water.

The opened origin couldn’t be reversed.

If he did that, Kkamak might disappear forever.

“Let’s think positively. If Kkamak grows stronger, it’s good for me too. Hmm…”

That’s why Shin Hyeok tried his best to view this situation as favorably as possible.

Excluding the cost, Kkamak’s growth rate had dramatically increased after all.

Of course, the problem was that it didn’t just cost money, but a lot, very much, an infuriatingly large amount of money.

Crunch crunch!

“…Where else would you see someone eating a don of gold for one meal.”

-Caw?

“…Yeah, eat plenty.”

After the source awakening, Shin Hyeok, who had lost a don of gold while looking for something to give to the hungry Kkamak, sighed and deliberately turned his gaze away from Kkamak.

Unable to bear watching the sight of about a million won in cash disappearing in a single meal, Shin Hyeok decided to open the remaining rewards instead.

“Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket. This is the big one.”

That was the Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket.

An item he had never seen even before his regression.

Therefore, Shin Hyeok suppressed his pounding heart and used the Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket.

[Please think of the concept, principle, and result of the trait you wish to create.]

“So it’s like this.”

As soon as he used the creation ticket, Shin Hyeok nodded at the message window that appeared before his eyes and immediately began thinking about the trait he needed.

‘Physical abilities are fine. Growth abilities are the same. Then what’s left is energy-related abilities.’

Physical abilities?

This wasn’t much of a problem.

Considering what Shin Hyeok was preparing, the growth of physical stats wasn’t important.

He knew about Earth’s greatest physical stat trainer, and ‘he’ existed on Baekdu Mountain.

Next, growth abilities were the same.

With the fantastic collaboration of Trait: Versatility and Trait: Patience, Shin Hyeok’s growth would continue to be smooth sailing.

Therefore, what remained was energy-related abilities.

‘The only energy-related ability I have is mana circuits. While supreme divine arts like Taeguk Divine Art and Cheonma Divine Technique exist, those are ultimately in the realm of skills. They’re different from traits. Especially problematic is that even the energy-related ability I do have, mana circuits, is limited only to mana. Therefore, the energy-related ability I need to obtain should be something that can encompass all the energies I possess.’

Shin Hyeok was already aware of what he lacked and was striving to fill that gap.

In such circumstances, the dropped Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket was like sweet rain during a drought.

With all directions determined, Shin Hyeok boldly crafted the concept, principle, and result.

“The concept is combining all my energies into one. The principle is energy control based on the effects of Occupation: All Master and Trait: Versatility. The result is the unification of all energies.”

[The concept, principle, and result of the trait to be created have all been confirmed.]

[Do you wish to complete the trait as is?]

“Yes.”

Having no doubt or distrust in what he had crafted, Shin Hyeok nodded as soon as the message appeared.

[You have acquired Trait: Unification.]

“Unification. Just from the name, I can tell what kind of trait it is. Well, since I conceived this trait from beginning to end myself, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”

The acquisition message for the new trait appeared before his eyes.

Even though Shin Hyeok knew what abilities this trait would possess, he checked his status window.

[Unification]

-Classification: Trait [Legendary]

└Combines all energies and converts them into unified force.

└Unified force can become any of the energies you possess.

* Warning: If you cannot suppress the resistance during the energy unification process, you may suffer great damage.

“Perfect. It came out exactly as I thought it would.”

Trait: Unification.

This trait’s purpose was to combine Shin Hyeok’s various energies into one and explosively increase their quantity.

Energy was always insufficient.

From Bronze to Diamond, to Challenger.

All Players felt inadequacy in their available energy and experienced thirst like in a desert.

In that regard, the power of Unification, which gathered various energies together and explosively increased their quantity, was indescribably tremendous.

If Shin Hyeok combined all the energies he currently possessed, it would become a massive amount reaching the peak of Diamond.

In other words, it would become a secret technique that could further elevate Shin Hyeok’s already powerful output.

“Now what’s left is the Mythic Grade Material Draw Ticket.”

Having made good use of the Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket, Shin Hyeok faced the last remaining reward.

He swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the Mythic Grade Material Draw Ticket.

“It’s my first time with Mythic grade, so I’m nervous.”

Since Shin Hyeok had never seen Mythic grade materials or equipment even after becoming a Challenger Tier Player, the trembling at this moment was genuine.

Suppressing his heart that trembled like a reed in the wind, Shin Hyeok quietly used the draw ticket.

Whoooooosh!

After brilliant light filled the room completely.

Shin Hyeok looked at the object in his hand and hardened his expression.
