I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 031

Random Synthesis Blueprint Box

Runes, skill books, materials, and so on.

Weekly Dungeon and Regular Dungeon rewards are generally nothing special.

Especially in the case of runes.

You just focus on probability and keep spinning until good options appear, then you can pull out premium runes, and when you enhance those premium runes and the options max out?

That becomes a graduation rune.

While top-tier graduation runes are said to be incredibly valuable, in the end, graduation runes are something you can eventually obtain by continuously spinning based on probability.

However.

Tower of Trials rewards are different.

Rare!

At the very least, they’re scarce.

Unique!

Perhaps they’re one-of-a-kind items.

That’s why there’s no organized list of what rewards appear, and new ones continue to emerge even now.

One of them is the B-grade Rainbow Snail.

The gift that Yu Ji-a gave to Baek Jin-woo’s mother, Hwang Myeong-hee.

“…What could this be?”

When Yu Ji-a left, Hwang Myeong-hee looked curiously at the snail crawling around on her forearm.

Baek Jin-chul laughed.

“Read the skill description. Open your status window once.”

“Status window?”

As Hwang Myeong-hee muttered, information appeared in the air.

[Summon: Rainbow Snail]

[Species: Snail]

[Grade: B-grade (Rare)]

– Limited to 100 entities worldwide.

[Level: 10]

[Stats]

Strength: 1, Intelligence: 12, Stamina: 1, Agility: 1

HP: 1,000, MP: 100

Critical Hit Rate: 20%

Critical Hit Damage: 20%

[Skills]

– Mucus: Effective for skin whitening and wrinkle improvement.

– Moisture: Keeps skin hydrated throughout the day.

– Regeneration: Restores skin.

“Oh my, what is this?”

Hwang Myeong-hee’s eyes widened.

She had adapted to the changed world, so summons weren’t surprising, but…

Skin whitening?

Wrinkle improvement?

Is this really what summons are supposed to be used for?

Squirm, squirm!

The snail crawled to none other than Hwang Myeong-hee’s hand.

It began spraying mucus – splat! splat! – on the area wrinkled from hard work.

[All mucus has been consumed.]

[24 hours of charging time required.]

The mucus was an extremely small amount.

And there was no change.

It just felt sticky and moist.

“I guess it’s just like cosmetics. You know, like those snail creams that exist.”

“Hehe, really? The world has certainly changed. Giving summons as cosmetic substitutes.”

“Right? You little thing, you’re still cute though.”

When Hwang Myeong-hee stroked the snail’s shell, the squirming creature was reverse-summoned.

Thinking nothing of it, she chatted lovingly with Baek Jin-chul before falling asleep.

And the next day.

While washing her face to go to work as usual.

“What, what is this!”

Hwang Myeong-hee was startled.

‘My hand?’

Because her left hand reflected in the mirror was different from her right hand.

A dimensional change!

The skin color had become whiter, wrinkles had smoothed out to some degree, and her usually rough hand had definitely become soft and smooth.

In just one day.

‘It looks like it got younger by almost 20 years… Is this even possible?’

While surprised, her heart began pounding.

Because she realized it was due to the snail mucus she had applied yesterday.

What would happen if she consistently applied this to her entire body, including her face, once a day?

Wouldn’t she definitely look younger?

The desire to look beautiful is every woman’s wish.

Hwang Myeong-hee was no exception.

‘Let me try applying it thoroughly every day first.’

Her steps seemed somehow lighter than usual as she woke up in the morning to prepare breakfast.

‘Rainbow Snail.’

Thinking about it, a smile bloomed on Yu Ji-a’s face.

If there was the biggest expense in this family care, it was exactly that.

Due to the severely limited quantity, there was no data and it hadn’t gained fame, but Yu Ji-a knew its efficacy well.

‘I saw some effects myself too.’

In fact, Daeseong discovered the Rainbow Snail in the very early stages.

Because an affiliated player had obtained it as a reward from the Tower of Trials 1st Floor.

– What is this? The reward is too crappy.

– Ugh, it’s not even a combat-related summon… What’s this moisture? Regeneration?

– What use could this possibly have!

The affiliated players naturally had this reaction at first.

But where is Daeseong!

Isn’t it a place where the nation’s top merchants gather!

“A skin improvement summon?”

The higher the report went up, the more everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Skin makes money.”

“We can target women worldwide.”

“First, efficacy! Let’s research what kind of efficacy it has.”

Under the executives’ command, full-scale snail research began.

The result.

“This is insane!”

“It has incredibly dramatic effects! This could completely destroy the existing beauty market!”

“At this level, it’s not skin improvement but skin surgery level! No, this is impossible even with surgery. Just applying it makes cells younger!”

Of course, since it was the early research stage, they didn’t know how long the effects would last.

Still, it was enough change to be worth deep research and investment.

“Analyze the mucus components immediately!”

Daeseong’s research team all gathered to analyze the slime.

However.

“It’s just ordinary.”

“There’s nothing different from regular snail slime.”

“…It seems that skin changes only occur when the summoned creature’s skill is infused. Like the summoned creature’s healing.”

If they couldn’t produce special slime separately?

“Snails! We need to acquire as many of these limited edition snails as possible!”

“That’s right. We need to monopolize them before other companies find out!”

“Post on marketplaces worldwide. Tell anyone who obtained a rainbow snail to contact us! No matter how much it costs, persuade them and buy them up!”

As a result of moving from the beginning like that.

They were able to absorb rainbow snails from unsuspecting players in countries around the world.

A whopping 54 of them!

And now they were currently in the midst of pursuing business.

A business of building spacious, luxurious buildings and providing premium skin treatments.

In the meantime.

Several were distributed to the women of the Daeseong family, and Yu Ji-a was also able to receive one as a gift.

For Yu Ji-a, it was like giving Hwang Myeong-hee cosmetics of tremendous value.

‘But well.’

Yu Ji-a didn’t mind.

She had already applied it all over her body, and since her skin was originally good, it didn’t have such a dramatic effect on her.

She could even go to Daeseong and receive free treatments whenever she wanted, so what was there to regret?

However, what was important here was the value of that snail.

When Daeseong’s full-scale business started later?

Rumors about the snails would spread, and then the value of the snails would skyrocket.

Wouldn’t it easily surpass a hundred billion?

There were only 100 in the entire world, and Daeseong wouldn’t sell them elsewhere, so they would become even rarer.

‘Still, it’s fine.’

Yu Ji-a smiled.

Hwang Myeong-hee deserved to receive such a gift.

Why?

Because she was the future hope of South Korea and the treasure of “Yubak.”

Because she was the one who gave birth to Jinugod.

“Wow, really.”

After conquering the 1st floor of the tower, Baek Jin-woo returned to the vacant lot and sat down, letting out a hollow laugh.

“It really is a fucking luck-based game.”

In front of him was a single box.

[‘Random Synthesis Blueprint Box’ (B-grade)]

It was the reward for the Tower of Trials 1st floor.

This was really funny.

The reward itself was already random, and now they wanted him to randomly open something else.

If he opened this?

A ‘synthesis blueprint’ would randomly come out.

It was the same synthesis blueprint that came as a Saturday dungeon reward.

A blueprint that could produce various items at the synthesis facility.

– What are you doing, Jin-woo! Let’s open it right away!

Ramba sat on Baek Jin-woo’s shoulder and shouted.

Munch munch.

After finishing the 1st floor, she took a big bite of the cream bread he had given her.

‘Still, since it’s a Tower of Trials reward, something special should come out, right?’

But to say that…

There were quite a few duds too.

Especially the 1st floor was a low floor, wasn’t it?

The probability of unique items appearing was extremely low.

– Master. We’ll be training first.

Whoosh!

Hunkyo raised his sword and spoke.

– Huh? Right after arriving?

Ramba on his shoulder made a sad face.

– What nonsense. One-Eyed is too much for our current strength. How can you think of resting with such pathetic skills? You prepare quickly too.

– Hiiiiing.

Holding her head and turning away, Ramba reluctantly floated in the air.

Due to Hunkyo’s skill ‘Charisma,’ she couldn’t refuse training.

Snicker.

Baek Jin-woo laughed.

Right.

What did the reward matter?

In the end, what was important was constant training and development.

No matter how good the reward was, it was meaningless if the summoned creature’s main body wasn’t strong.

‘Let’s just open it.’

Rip!

Baek Jin-woo boldly tore open the box.

[Using ‘Random Synthesis Blueprint Box’ (B-grade)!]

[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ has obtained ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll Blueprint’ (B-grade)!]

Guaranteed summoning scroll?

What was that?

He immediately opened the information.

[Blueprint]

[Grade: B-grade]

[Can Craft: ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-grade)]

[Creates a summoning scroll that can guarantee the summoning of a desired B-grade summoned creature.]

[Required Materials: King’s Token (Bound) x 1, Supreme Summoning Scroll x 3, Advanced Summoning Scroll x 10, World Tree Leaf x 10]

Crazy.

This was a type of summoning scroll he’d never seen before.

It guaranteed summoning any desired summoned creature?

‘Wait, then…?’

Even the EX-grade summoned creatures I want?

This was quite ambiguous.

During Battle of Summoners, there were a total of two B-grade summoned creatures that Jinugod had received patches for.

Gale Slaughterer and Rune Dwarf.

Both were overwhelmingly overpowered characters.

‘The question is whether the system recognizes them as B-grade or EX-grade.’

If it judged them as EX-grade?

He wouldn’t be able to summon them with that summoning scroll.

‘But.’

You never know.

Ramba, Hunkyo, Pokryong.

All three were EX-grade but appeared from low-grade summoning scrolls.

That could be interpreted as the system still judging them as E-grade or D-grade…

‘Wow.’

If he could summon Doldoli and Runde?

This is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s already overpowered as it is…

Adding more broken abilities on top of broken abilities?

In Doldoli’s case, it’s a summon that shows absurd performance in PVP.

In Runde’s case, with just time and materials, he can craft any rune and option you want.

In a game where graduation runes were the endgame content, there’s a summon that can create graduation runes?

Naturally, it was a character that had no choice but to get hit with balance patches.

‘But the materials are kind of hellish, aren’t they?’

[Required Materials: King’s Insignia (Bound) x1, Supreme Summoning Scroll x3, Advanced Summoning Scroll x10, World Tree Leaf x10]

World Tree Leaves occasionally appear as Saturday dungeon materials, so that’s fine.

‘The King’s Insignia will be tough.’

The King’s Insignia is a type of bound item.

It’s a material item that drops one at a time when you defeat the tribal king that appears every 10 floors of the Tower of Trials.

Naturally, since it’s bound, you can’t buy or sell it.

In other words, in the current situation, I have to defeat the ‘One-Eyed’ (S-rank) to create that summoning scroll!

‘Let’s try making it first.’

I felt like I’d only know whether I could pull those two or not after making it.

Doldoli, Runde.

Which one to pull first is a problem to think about later.

“Let’s go.”

Today’s consistent training begins.

I was planning to rush forward with speed until I conquered the 10th floor of the Tower of Trials.
