Episode 234

Seo Jun pressed the Enhancement button, and a simple effect appeared along with a success notification.

[Success]
[Beginner’s Greatsword] [Legendary] [Tier 2]
[+5 –> +6]

A flood of cheers poured down on Seo Jun, who had succeeded at 100% success rate.

-One shot!
-Success on the first try, no way!!!
-I’m jealous!
-You crazy bastard lol
-Ah lol you hit the ceiling, of course it was one shot lol

Seo Jun brushed off the flood of congratulations and let out a hollow laugh.
“Why do you consume materials when you hit the ceiling? I’m in a bad mood.”
“Shut up and let’s go to +7 already!”
“Why are you so excited? I mean, my misfortune is your happiness, but. Oh right.”
“What.”
“You’ve already spent 3 million gold, right? I’ve only spent 30 thousand so far?”
So that’s why he was so pleased.
“This bastard?”
“Got caught.”
“Like you wouldn’t do the same! Hey!”
“I wouldn’t, would I? Right, Tae-woo’s viewers? 3 million gold is a bit much, isn’t it?”

-Yeah lol
-The master didn’t ask us, but it’s true lol
-No matter how badly it goes, 3 million gold is lol not that much
-That side’s got veterans too, right lol Tae-woo, they’re all saying you’re an idiot lol

“Let’s see who’s right. You just saw it. Even with your… something, it doesn’t work, right? What? You think it’ll work? Pfft. That was the ceiling, wasn’t it?”
It’s depressing.
The fact that what he’s saying isn’t wrong.
It’s not that he took emotional damage or felt nervous or anything.
‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll just spend more money, so what.’
But there was no way to make Tae-woo completely shut his mouth.
There was only one way, and the fact that he couldn’t do anything about it bothered him.
“Siksik Corner. How many ceiling hits do you predict?”
Tae-woo asked Siksik Corner with high energy.
“Hmm. We’ve seen one out of 25 attempts so far, and maybe 4 or 5 more in the future? It’s just that it’s not easy to see many ceiling hits, you know.”
……
Seo Jun glared at Siksik Corner.
“Ah…… I-I’m sorry.”
“Why are you making people cower? Come on, let’s go to +7.”
“Yeah! Let’s see what happens!”
Seo Jun pressed the Enhancement button with both anticipation and worry.
For some reason, he had a feeling he’d hit the ceiling again this time.
So he decided to use the Rapid-tap Enhancement Method.
“If I just tap this five times, I think it’ll really stick?”
Rapid-tap Enhancement Method.
He’d learned it on the internet.
Tae-woo scoffed.
“Pfft.”
He needed to prove it with results.

[Failure]
[Failure]
[Failure]
[Failure]
[Failure]

“Damn.”
That method was done for.
Seo Jun decided so with a serious expression.
“Hahaha. The flow’s really against you, this bastard. The opposite of what you intended.”
“Khh. Your luck isn’t very good, is it?”
“Yeah.”
“This time, three attempts.”
“Will it work?”
“Is that so? How many times should we try, everyone?”

-lololol
-Looks like he’ll hit the ceiling again
-Nah lol the master’s so serious lol
-Money is finally being deleted, not copied!
-Do it twice
-Twice g

[Failure]
[Failure]

Text appearing with a weak poof sound.
“Hmm, so including before, that’s 15 failures total, which is statistically about 20%, so it might not stick. Hmm.”
Seo Jun accepted it for now but fell into thought.
It really isn’t sticking?
“Kh. Are you seriously counting that? Enhancement is luck, not skill. You think you can turn it into a technique?”
“Is that so.”
“Just give up and hit the ceiling.”
“Okay. One last time, I’ll try four times.”

[Failure]
[Failure]
[Failure]
[Success]
[Beginner’s Greatsword] [Legendary] [Tier 2]
[+6 –> +7]

“Oh, it worked.”
“Seo Jun……”
Tae-woo looked at Seo Jun with the corners of his mouth twitching.
“I knew it too. Don’t laugh.”
As Seo Jun said it flatly, Tae-woo laughed even louder.
The reason was.

-lol another one shot!
-10 failures then success on the 11th, so you hit the ceiling lol
-Master lol you said you’d only try four times after knowing that lol

“Phew, I’m glad I didn’t try.”
“Yeah. Doesn’t look like now’s the time?”
“Seo Jun, you’re in the same fate as me. From now on, the ceiling standard will go up and it’ll be even harder, so what now.”
That’s right.
This was the second ceiling hit.
Seo Jun felt troubled.
He was worried he’d end up like Tae-woo.
No matter what, he shouldn’t be worse than Tae-woo, but wasn’t this the biggest obstacle he’d faced in this life?
“Sigh.”
Seo Jun eventually let out a deep sigh.
Of course, it was an act for the audience’s entertainment.

-lololololol
-How long are you gonna stay serious, master!
-Your confidence seems to be dropping lol

Thanks to that, the viewers laughed.
“What’re you doing? We should go to +8.”
Tae-woo joked from the side.
“Krhehe. I’ll just let the Heavenly Demon do it all. I should drink up the stack!”
Dang So discussed what’s called Stack Theory, where the more you fail, the more stack builds up and someone hits the jackpot.
“You don’t know yet.”
Siksik Corner offered consolation with a twitching smile.
Feeling it was hopeless, Seo Jun shrugged and moved his fingers.
In the end, there was only one thing he could do.
‘Press the Enhancement button.’
And the result of quietly doing what needed to be done.
This time it was Seo Jun’s turn to laugh. So he laughed.
While watching Tae-woo’s expression change.
“This time how much will I lose…… huh?”

[Success]
[Beginner’s Greatsword] [Legendary] [Tier 2]
[+7 –> +8]

“This time it’s really a one shot, right? Right Tae-woo?”

-Yay!
-This one deserved to come out
-Agreed!

“Y-yeah. I’ve only just avoided a loss so far, and if we hit the ceiling ahead……”
“Then I’ll ignore the panicked Tae-woo and just go right ahead. Enhancement is about flow after all.”
And when he pressed Enhancement.

-??
-This isn’t right, is it?
-Don’t cross the line, master?

[Success]
[Beginner’s Greatsword] [Legendary] [Tier 2]
[+8 –> +9]

He’d made back his losses and gone into profit.
“It’s sticking? Is it really about flow?”
When Seo Jun unconsciously pressed once more.

[Success]
[Beginner’s Greatsword] [Legendary] [Tier 2]
[+9 –> +10]

“Oh. The weapon’s maxed out.”
The viewers began to riot.

-????????
-This is seriously over the line?
-WTF????
-Are you cheating?
-lol this is ridiculous
-Lock

“You son of a bitch. Please don’t cheat…… please.”
And Tae-woo sobbed.

In probability-based content, situations beyond imagination occur.
65%, 55%, 45%, 35%, 25%, 25%, 25% — successfully clearing all of them in a row?
Rather than the fact that someone targets a 0.0007% probability,
And rather than that it actually does come out,
Seo Jun’s three consecutive successes paled in comparison before them.
The success rate was only 0.1% at most.
Seo Jun explained this point to the viewers using examples he’d seen online,
“Right? Isn’t that right?”
He was slapped with the reality.

-The master’s laughing his ass off lol I’m so pissed
-Kill him! Kill him!!!
-Ah lol please don’t cheat with probability too ㅠㅠ
-Btw ON lol

“Look, how many times do I have to say it. What difference does it make to try on a weapon anyway. Surely there’s not someone who hit the ceiling on weapons 8, 9, and 10 all and spent nearly 700 thousand gold?”
Weapons were especially expensive to enhance.
And the higher the enhancement level, the greater the loss each time you hit the ceiling.
And such a person was right next to him.
“Hey you bastard!”
“Pfft.”
“Hey, come out. Right now. Don’t cheat!”
Tae-woo, positioned exactly 1 meter away from Seo Jun, tried to approach him.
But due to system limitations, he couldn’t get any closer and was flailing his arms.
“Hmm. Is that all?”
“Bad guy.”

-Ah lololol Tae-woo’s losing it
-My composure is broken too…… I hit the ceiling yesterday
-Why did the probability break there, dammit!
-How is this even possible… is this the world. If the master also gets good luck……

“Everyone, isn’t this just mean reversion after those two ceiling hits?”

-No, it’s not. You know it’s not. Is it not? Is it not!
-Three one shots are you bastard thiiiiis
-Ugh his voice is so annoying
-His voice pisses me off MAX lol
-Looks like a lot of people got a taste of enhancement yesterday lol

“Hmm. Enhancement’s pretty easy.”
“Heavenly Demon, don’t overdo it.”
“Why, Dang So? Are you nervous?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm. Want a tip?”
“Oh? What! Tell me right away!”
Dang So was anxious enough to ask.
He’d mentioned Stack Theory earlier, so he could definitely feel anxious thinking he’d already drained all his luck.
So Seo Jun said.
“Stay as far away from Tae-woo as possible. If you stick with him, bad luck……”
“Argh! Hey. You’re not really saying that. You’re not saying that…”
“Could it be, you cried?”
“No…… khh.”
“Wow. You really did.”
“I really hate the heavens.”
Tae-woo genuinely hated the heavens.
“Even though you’re handsome, even though you’re smart, even though you’re athletic, even though you’re good at games, I’ve never hated the heavens this much. Never. Why does the heavens! Give that bastard luck too!”

-lololololololol
-You’d feel deprived next to him
-Are you taking luck too, master!!!!!
-This is really the master’s fault lol

And.
After hearing Tae-woo’s feelings, Seo Jun laughed for a while and then began enhancing the remaining equipment.

* * *

“I charged another 200 thousand and finished — is that a good run?”

-Ugh btw lol
-You know it was a good run, you bastard
-Tae-woo’s really crying ㅠㅠㅠ

Armor enhancement ended normally with good luck.
Not to the extent of being called “cheating” like with the weapon, but overall there were no failed spots.
When you hit the ceiling and take a loss, you quickly make it back on the next enhancement.
Or riding the flow and getting lucky, sticking on the fourth try?
“Hmm. 500 thousand would’ve done it, but 3 million……”
“Stop!”
“Okay. Then is it Dang So’s turn now?”
“M-me? I’ll do it later!”
“Aw, then it’s not fun?”
“That’s enough! I’m not doing it now.”

-The master’s sticking so well lol
-I’d hate to enhance right now
-Luck carries over? No it doesn’t. You get what you deserve lol

“So what do we do now?”
Passing by Tae-woo, who’d taken hits twice from Seo Jun and was now completely mentally and physically exhausted, Seo Jun approached Siksik Corner.
“Hmm…… The enhancement stuck well and Dang So said he won’t do it, so we have time left, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then we could just goof around.”

-????
-That guy?
-Did he lose it?
-Lol are we easy targets for Siksik Corner? Let’s see?

“…… That was a joke. We’ve got a lot to do. Really a lot.”
Seo Jun didn’t miss it.
The fact that Siksik Corner glanced to the side and suddenly went pale before rushing to speak.
“What is it?”
“We need to enhance skills too. Even beginners can enhance skills.”
Ah.
“Where do we go then?”
Skill Enhancement Tokens could be obtained by exploring maps that weren’t dungeons or raids, or by clearing challenge quests.
Skill Enhancement Tokens were essential for stat upgrades.
However, the process of obtaining these was quite tedious and complex, so a guide was necessary.
Of course, gamers had organized it well in the community.
“Hmm…… Since Geomsin’s luck is good right now, let’s check out a few Fields that come to mind.”
She could almost be a real-time secretary organizing schedules as she went.
“Tae-woo. Get it together and let’s go.”
“No…… I don’t like Racle……”
“She said to go to a Field.”
While map and Field are sometimes used interchangeably, in this case Siksik Corner’s use of Field likely meant a PVP-enabled area.
After all, there weren’t many Skill Enhancement Tokens to be found in ordinary Safe Zones.
‘There’ll probably be viewers who challenge us.’

-Racle loading now
-I should interfere with the master getting Skill Enhancement Tokens
-Today he cheated in enhancement so he’s gotta pay lol
-No turning off the stream mid-way or anything like that, master

‘He’s already excited.’
At this point, Seo Jun hadn’t even imagined he’d end up doing a Guild War later.
But when he stepped outside the Blacksmith map, he noticed a suspicious crowd waiting for him and predicted that something annoying was about to happen.
‘What’s with those masks?’
