Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 93

 

Episode 93: Chugoae’s Research Lab (2)

 

Mincheol examined the bracelet wrapped around his right arm from various angles.

 

Its appearance was extremely simple. Anyone looking at it might mistake it for a simple ring.

 

This was Mincheol’s request.

 

The simpler the form, the stronger it would be against impact.

 

“I should try using it once, right?”

 

He came outside since he couldn’t defile the resting place of the dead.

 

Then he activated one of the bracelet’s skills.

 

【Activating skill ‘Enhanced Launch’.】

 

The lock was released and the bracelet flew up, emitting a blue light.

 

“Oh, that’s interesting.”

 

The bracelet followed Mincheol’s hand gestures.

 

“Shall I try shooting it?”

 

Mincheol quietly aimed his hand at a stone column.

 

The next moment-

 

Kwang-

 

The bracelet disappeared and an explosive sound erupted from the stone column.

 

Dust instantly rose up and then settled down.

 

“Wow.”

 

Mincheol exclaimed in admiration at the half-destroyed stone column. The bracelet was embedded deep in the center of the stone column.

 

This was a pillar that had even withstood Colossus’s bombardment.

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact.】

 

-Absorption amount 6%

 

Using Enhanced Launch filled up 6%.

 

The charging amount wasn’t as much as he thought.

 

“Or maybe the capacity is large?”

 

To move on to the next experiment, Mincheol retrieved Colossus with Auto Looting.

 

It was embedded too deep to pull out by hand.

 

【Skill ‘Enhanced Launch’ can be used again in 10 minutes.】

 

However, Enhanced Launch couldn’t be used immediately.

 

Like Volcano’s Fury, when using the skill, instead of consuming mana, there was a cooldown period.

 

Anyway, Mincheol had no intention of using the skill again.

 

“Haap!”

 

Mincheol directly threw Colossus toward the stone column.

 

Kwang-

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact.】

 

-Absorption amount 9%

 

The speed and power were somewhat lacking compared to when using the skill.

 

The impact amount was also less.

 

When using Enhanced Launch, it went up 6%, but when thrown by hand, it only went up 3%.

 

“Wow, I’ll have to throw this for quite a while to fill up the capacity.”

 

Still, he needed to check the other skill.

 

Mincheol threw Colossus repeatedly.

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact.】

 

-Absorption amount 12%

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact.】

 

-Absorption amount 16%.

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact…】

 

How many times did he throw it like that?

 

【’Colossus’ absorbs the impact.】

 

-Absorption amount 100%.

 

【’Colossus’ can no longer absorb impact.】

 

Finally, the conditions to use the second skill were met.

 

Mincheol threw Colossus toward an intact stone column and activated the skill.

 

【Activating skill ‘Impact Release’.】

 

The moment Colossus touched the stone column, a pure white explosion occurred.

 

The light was so bright that his vision was momentarily blocked.

 

Mincheol hurriedly covered his face with his forearm and turned his gaze away.

 

Mincheol slowly turned his head.

 

And his jaw dropped at the scene that unfolded.

 

All those solid stone columns had been completely shattered.

 

“Wow… I like this.”

 

It was truly tremendous destructive power.

 

Though it was made from a hastily conceived idea, he was completely satisfied with it.

 

What he liked most was that Colossus didn’t need to be taken out of his inventory.

 

Since it could be fired directly from the bracelet, it could also be used as a surprise attack against enemies.

 

“Then let’s go back now.”

 

“Kkwak.”

 

Kkwaekkwi flapped its wings as if pleased.

 

“Returning to Earth.”

 

With those words, Mincheol’s figure disappeared.

 

* * *

 

Returning to his apartment, Mincheol first handed his smartphone to Kkwaekkwi.

 

“Kkwak! Kkwak!”

 

Kkwaekkwi rejoiced, flapping its wings.

 

“Do you like YouTube that much?”

 

“Kkwak!”

 

Kkwaekkwi answered without even looking back at Mincheol.

 

Her two pupils were already fixed on YouTube.

 

Even though Kkwaekkwi had completely taken away his smartphone, he wasn’t annoyed.

 

Because he was always receiving help from Kkwaekkwi.

 

This time too, without Kkwaekkwi’s buff, he wouldn’t have been able to face the Colossus.

 

“Alright, watch it. Watch to your heart’s content.”

 

Separately from that, it seemed like he would soon need a smartphone exclusively for Kkwaekkwi.

 

Unlike Kkwaekkwi, Mincheol couldn’t rest yet.

 

Because time was running short.

 

“There are only two days left until the Field Boss Event.”

 

Within that time, he had to collect a sufficient amount of poison needles and hand them over to Olttetiramisu.

 

No, considering the time needed to craft the spear, it would be better to deliver them by today.

 

“He is someone who crafted the Dark Elongated One in less than a day, but… just in case.”

 

It would be troublesome if he acted leisurely and exceeded the time limit.

 

Past events would be re-released, but the interval was extremely long.

 

Mincheol burned with determination and entered the 20th Floor again.

 

Then he designated the projectiles for Auto Looting.

 

【You have acquired 24 ‘Ancient Labyrinth Arrows’.】

 

【You have acquired 41 ‘Ancient Labyrinth Poison Needles’.】

 

【You have acquired 12 ‘Ancient Labyrinth Short Spears’.】

 

With Auto Looting, he could conveniently collect projectiles.

 

That didn’t mean Mincheol just stood idle.

 

The spears and arrows didn’t contain wind pressure stones, so they were completely unnecessary.

 

Since they only took up space, he had to remove them from his inventory in time.

 

Then at an appropriate time, he acquired power sources and returned to his apartment.

 

After that, he poured the poison needles into the sacks he had bought in advance.

 

Mincheol repeated the same process several times.

 

It wasn’t particularly difficult work.

 

But the tedium was unavoidable.

 

‘Large monsters! I’m going to steal and devour them! Definitely!’

 

Whenever the boredom became severe, Mincheol recalled his goal and steeled his resolve.

 

Thus, Mincheol stayed up all night collecting poison needles.

 

* * *

 

-Manwolsang : The materials are ready.

 

Early morning.

 

Yun Ga-yeong, the blacksmith of Bulgasal Forge, suddenly stood up in the middle of eating breakfast.

 

“You already got the poison needles?”

 

Honestly, it was a hard-to-believe message.

 

Because poison needles from trap floors didn’t pay well compared to their collection difficulty, so no one was interested in them.

 

But the other party was none other than Manwolsang.

 

The rich person who had procured black steel like a mountain in just one day!

 

Yun Ga-yeong jumped up and down in place with joy.

 

“I really made the right connection.”

 

She was already researching ways to maximize arrow power using rare metals.

 

However, she had been stamping her feet in frustration because she couldn’t obtain rare metals.

 

In such circumstances, she had received Manwolsang’s commission.

 

From Yun Ga-yeong’s perspective, it was no different from conducting free experiments.

 

-Manwolsang : But we haven’t set the crafting fee.

 

-Olttetiramisu : No! We’re close, Manwolsang! I’ll do it for free this time!

 

Even Yun Ga-yeong had something called conscience.

 

Since she would be conducting free experiments, she could let the crafting fee slide.

 

-Manwolsang : Just melting the poison needles will be extremely difficult work, are you sure it’s okay?

 

-Olttetiramisu : Yes! Don’t worry about it! I can handle that much!

 

Yun Ga-yeong sent the message boldly.

 

She was, after all, affiliated with Bulgasal, called the best forge in South Korea.

 

She had already mastered melting items and extracting only the necessary materials long ago.

 

“And how much could there be at most?”

 

She also had this thought in mind.

 

At most, it would be just a few dozen kilograms.

 

Melting that amount was nothing.

 

-Manwolsang : Then I’ll send them.

 

【’Manwolsang’ has requested a trade.】

 

Yun Ga-yeong immediately pressed accept trade.

 

Poof.

 

Then with a small explosion, a large sack fell in front of her.

 

Yun Ga-yeong opened the opening to check the contents.

 

“Wow, these are really poison needles from trap floors? How did you get these?”

 

Though she said she believed, she had secretly doubted it too.

 

Now that the evidence appeared before her eyes, she couldn’t help but believe.

 

“But is this all? It’s not enough to make a spear…”

 

Poof.

 

Explosions occurred in succession. Three more sacks of the same size appeared.

 

“I knew there would be more…”

 

Poof-poof-poof.

 

“More?”

 

Poof-poof-poof-poof.

 

“W-wait! How many are coming!”

 

Poof-poof-poof-poof-poof.

 

“Stop! Stooooop!”

 

Yun Ga-yeong screamed, but it was already too late.

 

Her room was now completely filled with sacks.

 

She even had to flee outside to avoid the sacks herself.

 

“…”

 

Yun Ga-yeong stared at the sacks with a dazed expression.

 

With this amount, it seemed like it would easily be 500kg.

 

Forget melting it all, even moving it to the workshop seemed difficult.

 

-Manwolsang : Please make the item as quickly as possible.

 

-Manwolsang : It must be completed within 3 days at least.

 

-Manwolsang: Please, I’m begging you.

 

The moment she read the message, Yun Ga-yeong couldn’t help but be shocked.

 

“What? 3 days?

 

Just melting all this down is work, but you’re only giving me 3 days including production?

 

Just thinking about it was exhausting.

 

However, since she had already received the materials, she couldn’t refuse.

 

Her pride as a blacksmith wouldn’t allow that much.

 

“…Hiing, I should have just charged a production fee.”

 

Yun Ga-yeong shed tears as she shouldered the two bags on both sides.

 

To meet the deadline, it seemed she’d have to work nonstop for all 3 days.

 

* * *

 

Even after sending the poison needles to Yun Ga-yeong, Mincheol couldn’t rest.

 

He had to practice ‘Manri’, the applied form of Seonggwangbicheon.

 

Of course, to activate Manri, he needed a spear with high mana conductivity.

 

So Mincheol had no choice but to practice with an incomplete Manri rather than the complete version.

 

What this meant was that he threw the spear while still injecting mana into it.

 

Kwang-

 

Even that wasn’t easy.

 

Not knowing how much mana to inject, he broke training spears several times over.

 

‘Wow, this is really difficult.’

 

Still, after trying it a few times, he got the hang of it.

 

At some point, Mincheol stopped breaking the training spears.

 

Next, he practiced throwing Manri.

 

Since he couldn’t practice in reality, he entered the Tower.

 

He threw the incomplete Manri over and over, getting a feel for it.

 

‘This isn’t easy either.’

 

Long-range sniping with spear throwing wasn’t as simple as he thought.

 

Still, Mincheol didn’t give up and continued practicing.

 

So he could improve his accuracy even a little.

 

‘Field Boss! Rewards! I have to steal them!’

 

He endured the training thinking only of that.

 

It was when two days had passed like this.

 

-Olttetiramisu: The item you ordered is finished… I’ll send it now…

 

“Oh? Already?”

 

Mincheol received the item Yun Ga-yeong sent while he was brushing his teeth.

 

A long, thin spear appeared before Mincheol’s eyes.

 

Unlike the Dark Lengthy, this one was white.

 

There were no special decorations. In other words, it had a design faithful to throwing.

 

Mincheol quickly checked the information.

 

【Stretchy Lengthy.】

 

-Grade: Rare

 

-Description: A spear made by compressing wind pressure stones. Generates propulsion when mana is injected. Has very high mana conductivity.

 

-Effect: Throwing speed increase +20%.

 

“Why is the name like this again.”

 

Dark Lengthy seemed decent in comparison.

 

He really needed to set aside time to address her naming sense.

 

Other than that, he had no complaints.

 

After all, it was something he’d use just once for the Field Boss and then discard.

 

“Now the spear is ready, I’ve got the feel for the applied technique, and there’s only one thing left.”

 

Mincheol opened the message window.

 

And pulled up one of the past messages.

 

【You have cleared the 20th Floor while possessing multiple ‘Lucky Coins’!】

 

【You have satisfied the conditions for opening the Secret Shop!】

 

【You can use the ‘Secret Shop’ once!】

 

Secret Shop.

 

The moment had come to use the reward he obtained from clearing the 20th Floor.
