Chapter 31

Earth Korea User Management Team.

“That’s that thing, right?!”

“That weapon was in Edenhark?!”

The management team employees were left speechless by the majesty of the restored bow.

How many people wouldn’t recognize that bow?

Red Dragon Set.

Dragon weapons were considered rare items even within New World.

The reason lay in the set effects.

If you equipped all the unique defensive equipment and weapons, you could receive set effects close to legendary grade.

Such a dragon weapon had been discovered in Edenhark, which was called the Beginner Zone.

“This is really crazy… The rest of that set isn’t with other users, is it?”

“Yeah. Probably so.”

Currently, all defensive equipment except the Red Dragon weapon had been transferred to other users.

They would have been able to receive set effects if they just found the weapon, but that had all gone down the drain.

“They could get an incredible price if they sold it to that user, right?”

“That’s right. If they just need the weapon to get the set effect, they’d try to pay whatever it costs.”

“I’m jealous… With that, they could easily make a year’s salary, right?”

“What do you mean one year? If they really put their mind to it, they could get 5-6 years’ salary, couldn’t they?”

“Whoa!”

Earth Korea’s average annual salary was around 310 million won.

They were receiving salaries at a level incomparable to other companies.

If that was 5-6 years, it meant that single game item was worth 1.5-1.8 billion won.

Actually, the average market price for unique items was around 50 million to 100 million won.

However, that Red Dragon weapon could fetch a high price regardless of its grade.

“So will they try to sell that weapon?”

“Probably, right? There’s only one user who collected the Red Dragon set except for the weapon.”

A very famous user.

Mythology Guild’s bowmaster Lee Hwa Rang.

He had collected all the defensive equipment except the bow.

So they would sell it to him for a very high price.

“Oh! Then they could purchase a lot of other items.”

“That’s about right.”

“Wow, this is really amazing!”

The employees were each busy speculating about the user’s next moves.

‘…That was real!’

Oh Jin Su’s eyes widened when he saw that bow.

Red Dragon Bone Bow.

Who would have thought he’d obtain one of the bows that Divine Archer Rihart had wielded.

‘If I remember correctly, I heard that weapons wielded by heroes can evolve.’

It wasn’t simply because of set effects.

Any user who had studied New World’s history would have heard that weapons that evolved as heroes left their traces were backed up to their initial state and scattered throughout New World.

Oh Jin Su had also studied New World’s history for his job application, and since it was a question that came up in the actual interview, it remained in his memory until now.

‘If… the plan is to evolve that weapon?’

Given the user’s actions shown so far, wouldn’t even that ridiculous feat be possible?

* * *

Jung Hoon entered the mine together with Yorden.

[Epic Quest: Mine]

-Restriction: User possessing a restored map

-Reward: ?

-Description: You have entered the mine indicated by the map. Obtain the mine’s treasure.

The treasure search wasn’t over yet.

Since he had found the Red Dragon Bone Bow, he would go through the evolution process here.

That was the final reward of this chain quest.

The interior of the mine was filled only with darkness and was so vast that the end couldn’t be seen.

If he hadn’t used artifacts, he wouldn’t have been able to see anything ahead.

Before his regression, when Jung Hoon had visited, artifacts had been attached to the walls making it bright 365 days a year.

Since the mine hadn’t become famous yet, it hadn’t been developed at all.

“Now, come over here!”

The place Yorden guided him to was the far end of the mine.

That end was blocked by a wall, and the detector he was carrying like a bag was reacting to that spot.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here too.’

Jung Hoon approached that wall.

And he took out the map he had stored in his inventory.

A wall that couldn’t be forcibly broken through.

To get past this wall, he needed the restored map.

The wall had been designed that way from the beginning.

“Huh? What are you trying to do?”

“I need to open it.”

Saying that, Jung Hoon attached the map to the wall surface.

Then a change occurred.

<One who is qualified opens the door.>

Blue letters appeared on the wall along with a small emblem that glowed, then the rock slid to the side with a smooth motion, revealing a new space.

“What the hell!”

Yorden’s face turned shocked as his mouth gaped open.

“Let’s go in.”

Jung Hoon entered the space with a calm expression.

Yorden followed behind him.

“Where exactly is this place?”

He began searching the surroundings using his detector.

However, it wasn’t long before his body stiffened completely.

“Grrrr.”

A giant lizard that looked like a salamander was glaring at them with its eyes rolled up.

[Lv.60 Young Dragon]

A level 60 Young Dragon.

Jung Hoon’s level was 33.

And Yorden’s level was also 35.

Facing a monster with almost twice their level difference, Yorden’s entire body froze stiff.

“Move aside.”

At that moment, Jung Hoon drew the bowstring of the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

Then, where there had been nothing, a red mana arrow took shape and positioned itself.

[‘Arrow’ is activated.]

[Arrow]

-Type: Active

-Level: 1

-Grade: Rare

-Consumes 1 mana to increase arrow attack power by 20.

Following the grade of Strong Will, Arrow had also risen to Rare, doubling the arrow’s attack power.

Jung Hoon pulled the bowstring taut and aimed at the Young Dragon.

‘Now, let’s see the damage.’

This was the first proper weapon he had obtained since his regression.

He could finally see the firepower of that weapon at this moment.

Jung Hoon released the bowstring.

Whoooosh!

The arrow shot forth, creating a sharp whistling sound as it traced a parabolic arc.

That arrow pierced straight through the Young Dragon’s head.

[Critical Hit landed!]

The critical hit probability was 2~2.5%.

One might think he was lucky to get a critical hit with such low probability, but that wasn’t the case.

Critical hit probability only helps you get critical hit judgment even when you don’t hit vital spots.

If you hit a vital spot from the beginning, the critical hit probability becomes 100%.

And the spot the arrow just hit was the Young Dragon’s vital point – right between its eyes.

If it had been an ordinary bow, the arrow wouldn’t have penetrated the skin, but the arrow just now was shot from the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

An arrow with a whopping 176 attack power, combining 156 base attack plus 20 arrow attack power.

“Gack!”

The Young Dragon couldn’t even put up any resistance and collapsed to the side.

It had died instantly.

“Uh… huh?”

Yorden looked back and forth between Jung Hoon and the Young Dragon with a bewildered expression.

Then he approached the Young Dragon, examined its condition, and let out an exclamation of admiration.

To hunt a level 60 monster with just a single arrow.

Looking closely, the arrow had pierced through the Young Dragon’s forehead and penetrated into its brain.

Certainly… with this much damage, it had no choice but to die.

‘Who exactly is this guy?’

No matter how good a bow is, the bow’s capability is determined by its user.

He never expected a foreigner with a lower level than his own to display this level of force…

This was the first time he got goosebumps from such perfect archery skills.

Actually, it was the second time, but there was one archer he had encountered long ago in Edenhark.

However, even that person couldn’t match the archery skills he had just witnessed.

“Let’s continue.”

Jung Hoon, who had actually hunted the Young Dragon, moved forward without any particular emotion.

‘Wait, a Young Dragon? You just took down a level 60 Young Dragon in one shot and you’re acting like it’s nothing?’

Normally, one would be excited or at least show some joy, however slight.

But he couldn’t sense any emotion from Jung Hoon.

He was just moving forward.

He had felt it when Jung Hoon brought the map too, but that foreigner… was not ordinary.

Yorden began observing Jung Hoon as he followed behind him.

* * *

Swoooosh!

The arrow shot forth and pierced through the Young Dragon’s head once again.

[Critical Hit activated!]

Another one-shot kill this time too.

[Level Up!]

[All stats increased by +1.]

[Bonus Stats +1 awarded.]

And his level rose to 34.

“…I’m speechless.”

At such perfect archery skills, Yorden applauded repeatedly from behind with admiration.

This made it the 6th Young Dragon taken down in one shot.

“There don’t seem to be any more now.”

“None? Shouldn’t we look for more?”

“There aren’t any. Only 6 Young Dragons drop here.”

Users who entered seeking treasure had to hunt exactly 6 Young Dragons.

This time was no different.

Before long, Jung Hoon and Yorden arrived at the end of the mine.

And they could discover the treasure laid out before them.

[Evolution Ore Vein]

The treasure was none other than an ore vein.

Moreover, it was an ore vein packed full of Epic-grade Evolution Stones.

[You have discovered the Evolution Ore Vein for the first time! 2,000 Achievement points awarded.]

[You can extract ‘1’ stone from the ore vein.]

He would have liked to take all the Evolution Stones here, but the Quest reward was set to allow taking only 1.

Jung Hoon mined out that one stone.

[Quest completed!]

[‘Evolution Stone’ acquired.]

[To use the stone, you must visit the Blacksmith.]

Getting an Evolution Stone didn’t mean you could use it immediately.

You had to extract the energy contained in the Evolution Stone and apply it to a weapon, which required finding a blacksmith who specialized in Enchant.

Fortunately, there was one such blacksmith in Edenhark.

“Wow, this is insane!”

Yorden’s eyes went wild at the sight of the ore vein spread before him.

He took out his pickaxe and began mining Evolution Stones.

[You can obtain additional Evolution Stones from the NPC.]

Jung Hoon nodded.

Lee Hwa Rang, who had performed the Quest first, had taken 10 stones.

After that, since Yorden didn’t accompany them, users had to be satisfied with just 1 Evolution Stone.

‘Then shall I wait and see.’

To get additional Evolution Stones from Yorden.

Of course, getting 10 required meeting certain conditions.

[Would you like to make the ore vein public?]

[If you make the ore vein public, rewards will be increased 10-fold.]

Specifically, making the reward details public on the server.

Lee Hwa Rang had made this reward public at the time, and thanks to that, the Edenhark Map Quest became a national Quest.

“I should do it.”

Whatever the case, the fact that users achieved growth through Evolution Stones remained unchanged.

Jung Hoon had no intention of interfering with such a future.

[Rewards will be made public.]

[Public rewards will be posted on the New World homepage.]

* * *

Once the rewards were made public, Welcome went into chaos.

[Evolution Stones dropped in Edenhark!]

-Confirmed?

└Yeah, logging in right now and heading to Edenhark.

└Wow… What? Isn’t one Evolution Stone worth about 100 Gold?

└Insane! Going to get it right now!

└We should find whoever got the first reward and give them a prize lol

The value of Evolution Stones was a whopping 100 Gold level.

Evolution Stones first appeared on the Asga Continent, which could only be accessed after reaching level 200.

So they were considered very rare items, but to be able to get such items in Edenhark, a Beginner Zone.

Naturally, users flocked to Edenhark.

“Quest! Please give me the Quest!”

Users approached the Old Man and accepted the Quest.

“Really?! Thank you! Thank you!”

The Old Man teared up as he gave the Quest to the Users.

The Pendant is a Quest where it gets generated simultaneously when accepting the Quest.

However, the generation location of the Pendant varies, and you cannot touch another person’s Quest completion item Pendant.

In other words, you can only complete the Quest by finding the Pendant that was generated when you personally received the Quest.

“But where do we get this Pendant?”

“Right?”

“They really made it difficult…”

The Users, who couldn’t even imagine that it was buried in the ground, could only stomp their feet in frustration.
