Episode 110

 

Chapter 110. Thank You for Using the Trial Version~!

 

“What’s suspicious about it?!”

 

At the ‘Information Value’ that Kang Hoon shared, Seo Mi-do also screamed in excitement.

 

“Have you been living as a fool all this time?! The options are this perfect! Not everyone has skills like yours. Just how far are you planning to go?!”

 

For once, even Kang Hoon, who always maintained a ‘hmm, is that so?’ attitude, couldn’t help but be amazed.

 

“Is this… is this really correct?!”

 

“Eheheheh! That’s what I’m saying! It’s incredible, you’re really a genius!!”

 

“Haha! At this level, we can say our experiment was a huge success, right?!”

 

The moment he asked that question.

 

“…?”

 

Kang Hoon saw it.

 

“Uh, what…? Seo Mi-do, why are your eyes like that…?”

 

Those crazy eyes that he felt like he’d seen somewhere before.

 

‘Where did I see them?’

 

After retracing his memories, he remembered the giant whale customer from the early days of ‘Kang Hoon Shop’.

 

 

At the first direct enhancement commission table─

 

With the [Germanium Jade Bracelet of Vitality Enhancement +4] placed there.

 

The whale customer who begged to enhance it just one more time, saying they’d pay any amount of money.

 

…The crazed eyes of 5-star Shooter Baek Ye-ri were exactly like this.

 

The moment that dizzying feeling automatically came back to him.

 

In front of Kang Hoon, whose face had turned pale, sure enough!

 

“+4 Enhancement!!”

 

Seo Mi-do shouted.

 

“Genius Enhancer!”

 

“…!?”

 

While grabbing onto Kang Hoon with no less than six hands, including her mechanical arms!

 

“Just one more time! Just one more time! Please do +4 Enhancement for me!”

 

…She’s completely lost it.

 

At this point, Kang Hoon, who had done the enhancement, felt like a demon.

 

The problem was that he had done too excellent a job.

 

Somehow, he had become someone who tempted people, got them addicted, and made them cling desperately─

 

…He had become a dopamine demon.

 

“Uh, umm…”

 

Just standing in front of him, somehow all the Hunters who had been perfectly fine couldn’t get their heads straight, like kids who had fallen into gacha gambling for the first time.

 

In reality,

 

Kang Hoon was the type of person who would watch ads to get free currency even when the best gacha was released.

 

Such a Kang Hoon was immediately curious about what would happen if it ‘failed’.

 

‘What happens if I try +4 Enhancement and it fails?’

 

When he had forced the enhancement of [Germanium Jade Bracelet of Vitality Enhancement +4] at Baek Ye-ri’s request and it failed.

 

The item was naturally destroyed and turned to powder, leaving no trace behind.

 

But what if [Frontline Defense Terrain 012 Land Deed +3] failed enhancement?

 

‘Would only the land deed paper be destroyed, and all the options disappear?’

 

If not that?

 

‘…Wait. But the enhancement target is the land itself, right? If failure means the land gets destroyed?’

 

That thought sent chills down his spine!

 

Goosebumps rose!

 

‘If the entire area numbered 012 written on the land deed turns to powder and disappears?!’

 

It would literally be a catastrophe!

 

One must not be careless about even the slightest possibility.

 

“…Reckless enhancement must be avoided.”

 

Even while explaining the enhancement failure mechanism like that.

 

Kang Hoon was inwardly worried.

 

Because previously, such warnings hadn’t worked on 5-star Shooter Baek Ye-ri.

 

However.

 

Fortunately, Seo Mi-do was ultimately a Magical Engineer.

 

She was a scientist who lived and died by reason.

 

“…This entire land could turn to powder?”

 

She quickly grabbed hold of her sanity and hurriedly shook her head.

 

“If such a variable exists even slightly, we can’t force the research! The destruction probability is even 50%?! We must stop here!!”

 

“Oh!”

 

He had only seen customers whose eyes turned bright red, screaming ‘The success rate is 50%! Let’s proceed immediately!’

 

Meeting a safety-first type who interpreted it as ‘The failure rate is 50%…’ like Kang Hoon did felt welcome and familiar!

 

“I’m glad we can communicate.”

 

“Ah! Wait! But, Genius Enhancer? Victor Chan’s commission for [Solarion’s Shield] was +6 Enhancement, right?! Didn’t you achieve 100% enhancement success up to +5 grade then?”

 

“…No, you even found out about that?”

 

…I take back what I said about feeling familiar!

 

Seo Mi-do’s information gathering ability was already frighteningly good.

 

Now that she had even become a fan of Park Kang-hoon.

 

It seemed like nothing could stop her academic enthusiasm.

 

‘Well, if that’s really the case─.’

 

Snap.

 

Extending his right hand into the air, Kang Hoon whispered.

 

“─Summoning.”

 

At the same time, the [Hammer of Success and Failure] appeared instantly!

 

“?!”

 

No matter how many times he told her ‘The hammer in 【Thunder God】 movies is called Mjolnir’.

 

Seri still called this thing ‘Myomiru’.

 

Lightly swinging that hammer, Kang Hoon said.

 

“It’s an item I got as a Tutorial Dungeon reward. If I stack 10 failure stacks, +5 Enhancement has 100% success rate.”

 

“Oh, ooooh!!”

 

Seo Mi-do was amazed.

 

“Enhancement success guarantee, I’ve never heard of such an option anywhere…! No, more than that, how does such an item come from a tutorial?!”

 

“Ah. I broke the breakthrough 1st place record and received a Diamond Grade Box.”

 

“Gasp…!”

 

Seo Mi-do’s expression suddenly became serious.

 

“Um…, but is it okay to tell me all of this?”

 

“Huh? Why?”

 

“Why, you ask…! This should be kept secret even as a regular Hunter, but since you’re the world’s only money-burning genius Enhancer, it should be even more secret!”

 

“…”

 

Was that an insult or a compliment?

 

Kang Hoon felt doubt about his life for 3 seconds.

 

“Ah. I don’t tell other people all these details.”

 

“…What does that mean?”

 

“Because I trust Ms. Seo Mi-do.”

 

It was sincere.

 

Because he didn’t get a ‘bad feeling’ from Seo Mi-do.

 

Kang Hoon’s instincts as an Enhancement Specialist were telling him so.

 

From this small and easygoing woman, he couldn’t sense even a hint of ‘failure’ aura.

 

‘Rather, it seems like having her around would be convenient and bring good things.’

 

Seo Mi-do, who had no idea about the reason for his trust.

 

“!!”

 

…ended up being tremendously moved!

 

“Genius Enhancement Specialist…”

 

Her eyes became moist, and she became as docile as a squirrel that received a giant acorn.

 

If you don’t produce results, you can’t be recognized.

 

She had lived in a harsh world where no one believed in her, a young-looking Asian woman.

 

The first genius she’d ever seen in her life, even greater than herself.

 

Park Kang-hoon ‘trusted her’ for no reason (?).

 

“…I will definitely live up to that trust!!”

 

“Huh? Yes?”

 

“For the genius Enhancement Specialist, I will also report anything I discover as soon as I find it!!”

 

“What? Why go to such lengths…?”

 

“I knew my eyes were right! There’s something special about the genius Enhancement Specialist!”

 

Saying that, Seo Mi-do extended her four mechanical arms.

 

“Could I perhaps research this hammer?”

 

Kang Hoon chuckled softly and said.

 

“Go ahead, if you can take it.”

 

“What?”

 

“No one has been able to lift it so far, except for me.”

 

“Hehehe! How dare you underestimate my mechanical arms? I repaired and updated them yesterday!”

 

Just as she was about to quickly take the [Hammer of Success and Failure].

 

Crack crack crack─!

 

Her tactical weapon that boasted tremendous power.

 

The latest mechanical arms with 100% durability and completed updates.

 

The sturdy wrists of the cutting-edge equipment that could bend steel bars and tear off chunks of ‘Weight Magic Stone’.

 

“…Cr, crack?!”

 

Snapped right off and fell.

 

Not just one, but all four strands, in an instant.

 

…The four hands remained gripping the handle of the [Hammer of Success and Failure] that had struck the ground.

 

While the arms were stretched upward toward the air, trying to follow commands.

 

The mechanical arms had broken in half.

 

“No, no way….”

 

Rather, Kang Hoon was the one who panicked.

 

“I just thought you wouldn’t be able to lift it. I didn’t know it would break like this.”

 

In the hand that the owner extended.

 

Swoosh!

 

The [Hammer of Success and Failure] was easily lifted.

 

The thing that defied physical laws seemed to have an invisible temperament, as if warning Seo Mi-do.

 

‘How dare someone like you try to examine me!’

 

It said.

 

Only allowing Park Kang-hoon’s touch.

 

“…This is embarrassing. You just repaired those mechanical arms yesterday.”

 

Meanwhile, Seo Mi-do was calm despite being dejected.

 

“It’s okay…, it means I was lacking. Ah! But it’s a shame I can’t take this hammer.”

 

For her, research desire took priority over pride.

 

To such a person, Kang Hoon said.

 

“But I can let you use it, right? I just need to build up stacks to +4 Enhancement.”

 

“…Ah!”

 

Once again, Seo Mi-do’s eyes sparkled brightly.

 

“Great! Up to +4 Enhancement! Let’s experiment together!”

 

Following her lead with sparkling eyes, Kang Hoon smiled.

 

Grin!

 

More gently, kindly, and politely than ever!

 

“…Why, why are you smiling like that?!”

 

“Dear customer~!”

 

“Whaaaat?!”

 

Calling Seo Mi-do that way, Kang Hoon rubbed his palms together.

 

“Thank you for using our ‘Kang Hoon Shop’s’ +3 Enhancement trial version~!”

 

“Tri…, trial version?!”

 

“Since you used it at the affordable price of 26.7 billion, it’s a trial version.”

 

“…!!”

 

They say a merchant’s gift of gab is their capital?

 

The same goes for Kang Hoon!

 

His usual taciturnity was nowhere to be found, replaced by the eloquence that poured out whenever he wrote product promotion posts on Corn Market.com!

 

“You, you never said anything like that before…!”

 

Seo Mi-do, experiencing this for the first time, felt her hair stand on end.

 

“Oh~ What should we do~? Dear customer. To do +4 Enhancement, we need to build failure stacks too, and during that time, pre.cious valuable items will be con.sid.er.ably sacrificed.”

 

“So, so that means…?”

 

“We need proper additional cost assessment~!”

 

Kang Hoon doesn’t easily forget what he’s learned once.

 

Especially if it’s related to ‘money’.

 

If he learned secret technique #1, ‘Scratching’ from Cheong Jeong-kwon.

 

This was something he learned from Seri.

 

On the day of Kang Hoon’s housewarming, she had said this.

 

“Make sure to charge fees. It’s all consuming Kang Hoon’s precious attempts. You must never lower your own value first.”

 

‘Seri really is such a good friend.’

 

In front of such Kang Hoon.

 

“Ugh, ughhh…! It sounds right and that makes me mad! Ughhh~!!”

 

Seo Mi-do agonized, pulling at her long hair until it became disheveled.

 

Looking at her, Kang Hoon kindly added.

 

“Dear customer! Be careful! We’re out of stock on hair loss relief options!”

 

“….”

 

Saying it with crystal clear eyes without a hint of falsehood, the destructive power was tremendous.

 

“Aaaaah, so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
