Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 53

 

Episode 53: Summoning Pill (2)

 

【You have acquired ‘Summoning Pill’.】

 

He could feel the Summoning Pill sliding down his esophagus.

 

And the moment it reached his stomach, the nature of the Summoning Pill changed.

 

It felt like he had swallowed a ball of fire.

 

Tremendous heat spread out from his stomach as the center.

 

But strangely, it wasn’t painful. Rather, he only felt a drowsy warmth like soaking his body in a warm bathtub.

 

【’Summoning Pill’ is transforming your body.】

 

【The energy of ‘Summoning Pill’ is burning away waste matter.】

 

Gray smoke began pouring out from the pores all over his body.

 

Crack.

 

That wasn’t all. His muscles repeatedly contracted and relaxed while bizarre sounds spread from each joint of his bones.

 

【’Summoning Pill’ is reacting with the trait ‘Mana Sensitive Body’.】

 

【Completely absorbing the energy of ‘Summoning Pill’.】

 

Previously, Mincheol had stolen an elixir from the Guild Alliance on the 5th Floor.

 

Thanks to consuming that elixir, he had gained the trait ‘Mana Sensitive Body’.

 

The effect was a 5% reduction in skill mana consumption and a 5% increase in power.

 

It was quite a decent effect, but the numbers were too low to really feel the difference…

 

【Trait ‘Mana Sensitive Body’ is changing to trait ‘Martial Bones’.】

 

That trait met with the Summoning Pill and caused a transformation.

 

【Trait ‘Martial Bones’】

 

-Description: Gain bones and muscles suitable for learning martial arts. Those born with martial bones are said to be able to easily learn any martial art.

 

-Effect 1. When using skills, mana consumption reduced by 30%.

 

-Effect 2. When using skills, skill power increased by 30%.

 

-Effect 2. Skill proficiency increase speed increased by 30%.

 

The 5% numbers had risen to a whopping 30%.

 

There was even an additional effect of increased skill proficiency gain.

 

Mincheol opened his eyes. For a brief moment, a flash of light shot from them.

 

“Whew.”

 

Mincheol sprang up from his spot.

 

His body felt unbelievably light. Not only that, but he was overflowing with vitality.

 

“Wow, it’s like this isn’t even my body.”

 

There was a reason Kang Ung-hyeok had desperately tried to obtain it.

 

The benefits gained from eating just one were far too amazing.

 

“Kkwaaak!”

 

Just then, Kkwaekkwi let out a scream.

 

Kkwaekkwi was covering its beak with its wings.

 

Kkwaekkwi covering its beak with its wings.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

When Mincheol approached, Kkwaekkwi was horrified and ran away.

 

Only then did Mincheol realize that his body was giving off a foul smell.

 

It was the smell from the waste matter expelled by the Summoning Pill.

 

“Ugh, what is this smell?”

 

Mincheol opened the window of his apartment.

 

Even so, the smell wouldn’t go away easily, so he had to empty an entire bottle of deodorizer.

 

* * *

 

Thanks to consuming the Summoning Pill, Mincheol’s combat power had greatly increased.

 

Now he felt like he could win against anyone he fought.

 

But Mincheol didn’t rashly take action.

 

‘First, I need to refill my throwing weapons.’

 

He had lost all his throwing weapons in the battle with Kang Ung-hyeok.

 

‘Not just throwing weapons, but I lost my twin swords too. My armor is completely ruined.’

 

The armor Mincheol had newly acquired was literally torn apart by Kang Ung-hyeok’s single charge.

 

Thanks to that, Mincheol was in a situation where he had to get his equipment ready from scratch.

 

‘Sigh, when will I be able to prepare that much money again?’

 

No matter how much he had Auto Looting, it was difficult to quickly prepare over a billion won.

 

‘Oh, they said I could exchange virtue points for money, right?’

 

Mincheol recalled the reward he had gained from the Emergency Quest.

 

【Bounty Shop】

 

-Cash: Can be exchanged at 100,000 won per 1 point.

 

The virtue points Mincheol currently had totaled 212 points.

 

This was thanks to achieving high contribution in the Emergency Quest and receiving points from other Bounty Hunters.

 

212 points could be exchanged for 21.2 million won.

 

“Tsk, that’s not much.”

 

From Mincheol’s perspective with Auto Looting, it was just pocket change.

 

“Bounty Hunters fight criminals for just this amount of money?”

 

Mincheol genuinely felt sorry for the Bounty Hunters.

 

To do such dangerous missions and only get this much.

 

But this was Mincheol’s misunderstanding.

 

Bounty Hunters were famous for earning larger incomes than ordinary awakened individuals, despite the danger.

 

It was a misunderstanding that arose because Mincheol earned even more with Auto Looting.

 

“What other products are there?”

 

Mincheol browsed through the Bounty Shop a bit more.

 

Unfortunately, they didn’t sell skills or items.

 

Instead, there were other things.

 

-Inventory Expansion Voucher: 5,000 points.

 

-Unique Skill Enhancement Voucher: 10,000 points.

 

“Wow, they sell these?”

 

Both were items so popular that they couldn’t be found at the Auction House.

 

“5,000 points, 10,000 points would be 500 million and 1 billion respectively.”

 

He had never seen these two items at the Auction House, so he couldn’t tell if these were fair prices.

 

But what was important was that he now had a route to obtain items that couldn’t even be found at the Auction House.

 

“This means I’ll have no choice but to participate every time an Emergency Quest opens.”

 

Originally, Mincheol had intended to participate in Emergency Quests whenever he had the chance.

 

It was to receive scout offers from large guilds again.

 

Now that he learned he could earn this kind of additional income, there was even less reason to refuse.

 

“I should save up my good deed points.”

 

Given this situation, there was only one way to get the items he needed.

 

“I guess I’ll have to work hard gathering herbs.”

 

Mincheol headed to the 11th Floor Hidden Stage.

 

* * *

 

Fortunately, it didn’t take long this time.

 

Last time, he hadn’t focused solely on herb gathering and had also invested time in learning knowledge about Cardmos Dunwall.

 

But this time, he invested all his time exclusively in herb gathering.

 

Thanks to this, Mincheol was able to purchase all the items before even a week had passed.

 

All except one thing – just the spear.

 

“I can’t seem to find a decent spear anywhere.”

 

Come to think of it, last time he also couldn’t find a throwing spear and had to search the Auction House for a long time.

 

“Instead of this, should I ask someone to make one?”

 

Mincheol thought of ‘Olttetiramisu’ who had sold the Black Elongated One.

 

He didn’t know exactly who it was, but seeing that they had made the Black Elongated One, they seemed like a quite skilled blacksmith.

 

Hadn’t he even received a promise that the labor fee would be reduced for the next crafting request?

 

There was no reason not to contact them.

 

-Manwolsang : Hello, Olttetiramisu.

 

Mincheol wrote and sent the message.

 

After a moment, a reply arrived.

 

* * *

 

Bulgasal Forge.

 

South Korea’s first and greatest blacksmith workshop specializing in awakened individuals.

 

A heated argument was taking place there.

 

“Ah, Teacher. Please. I’m begging you like this.”

 

A small-framed woman was clinging to an old man’s arm, pleading for something.

 

“Please support me with just 2 billion won, okay?”

 

“I told you I have no intention of investing in useless things.”

 

“Useless?!”

 

Yun Ga-yeong said with a serious expression.

 

“This time it’s for real! If it’s made according to my design, an incredible item will be born!”

 

“Are you thinking of making that large monster-exclusive weapon again? So did you finish the launcher?”

 

“Th-that still has many points that need improvement…”

 

“The launcher isn’t even completed, so what are you going to do by making the projectile first?”

 

“You said it yourself, Teacher. To polish various techniques. Design the launcher as a launcher, and the projectile as a projectile…”

 

“Don’t give me sophistry. Anyway, what’s not allowed is not allowed.”

 

The Teacher shook off Yun Ga-yeong’s arm and disappeared somewhere.

 

Yun Ga-yeong became dejected at her teacher’s cold rejection.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

-Manwolsang : Hello, Olttetiramisu?

 

A message arrived through the system.

 

Yun Ga-yeong had to search her memory for a moment to remember who this person was.

 

“Ah! The benefactor who bought the Black Elongated One!”

 

Yun Ga-yeong had been punished not to return to the workshop until she sold the Black Elongated One, just before recently.

 

It was punishment for taking workshop materials without permission and creating the ‘Black Elongated One.’

 

If this person hadn’t bought the Black Elongated One, Yun Ga-yeong wouldn’t have been able to return to the workshop yet.

 

From Yun Ga-yeong’s perspective, they were no different from a benefactor.

 

-Olttetiramisu : Hello, Manwolsang! What can I do for you? Are you perhaps looking to place a crafting request?

 

-Manwolsang : Yes, that’s right. I’d like to have a throwing spear made.

 

Yun Ga-yeong tilted her head.

 

A throwing spear? Didn’t he buy the Black Elongated One not long ago?

 

-Olttetiramisu : Were you not satisfied with the Black Elongated One?

 

However, the answer that came back was beyond imagination.

 

-Manwolsang : It broke.

 

Yun Ga-yeong felt as if the sky was falling.

 

-Olttetiramisu : Whatdoyoumeanwhatareyousaying.

 

She was so shocked she couldn’t even send the message properly.

 

To Yun Ga-yeong’s question, Manwolsang answered briefly.

 

-Manwolsang : It broke while fighting an enemy.

 

“How is this possible? The Black Elongated One is such a sturdy child!”

 

Although it was called a failure for not completing the launcher, Yun Ga-yeong took pride in the Black Elongated One.

 

She said it had completion high enough to be counted among rare-grade weapons.

 

He broke such a masterpiece in that short time?

 

Just how roughly did he use the Black Elongated One?

 

“Should I make a weapon for someone like this?”

 

She was displeased, but there was nothing she could do.

 

It was because her teacher had educated her from childhood to always keep promises once made.

 

-Olttetiramisu : You said you want to make a throwing spear? If you tell me the conditions you want, I can match them accordingly…

 

Yun Ga-yeong was thinking of making a decent spear and finishing it there.

 

Then suddenly her thoughts changed.

 

“…This person has a lot of money.”

 

If she modified the item she was currently trying to make just a little, she could turn it into a throwing weapon.

 

Then Yun Ga-yeong would benefit by making a prototype, and this person could obtain a good quality weapon.

 

-Olttetiramisu : I happen to have something I’m designing.

 

-Manwolsang : Oh, is that so?

 

-Olttetiramisu : But this requires quite a lot of material costs.

 

-Manwolsang : How much do you need?

 

-Olttetiramisu : About 1 billion won?

 

Perhaps greatly surprised, the reply came much later.

 

-Manwolsang : Why do the material costs cost so much?

 

-Olttetiramisu : I’m planning to compress high-purity black sulfur iron to make it.

 

Yun Ga-yeong waited for a reply with an anxious heart.

 

-Manwolsang : By black sulfur iron, you mean the mineral that can be mined in B Zone on floors 6-10, right?

 

-Olttetiramisu : Yes, that’s right. It’s not that expensive per unit, but the quantity needed is large…

 

-Manwolsang : Then would it be okay if I gave you black sulfur iron instead of money?

 

-Olttetiramisu : For me, as long as I can get the black sulfur iron, that’s fine.

 

-Manwolsang : Understood. I’ll contact you again soon.

 

That was the end of the messages.

 

Yun Ga-yeong looked at the message window with a puzzled expression.

 

“Is this how people decline these days?”

 

B Zone, where black sulfur iron could be obtained, was a high-risk area.

 

So the mining output of black sulfur iron wasn’t much.

 

Recently, the supply had suddenly increased dramatically, but even that had suddenly stopped.

 

“He’s probably going to buy it from the Auction House anyway, right? Then he should just give me the material costs.”

 

He seemed to be quite a suspicious person.

 

Yun Ga-yeong thought this and forgot about Manwolsang.

 

And three days later.

 

【Manwolsang has requested a trade.】

 

A new message arrived from Manwolsang.

 

Yun Ga-yeong accepted the trade without much thought.

 

“…Huh?”

 

And she was able to receive such a massive amount of black sulfur iron that it would fill her warehouse and still have some left over.
