Chapter 36

Earth Korea User Management Team.

“Hah… I’m speechless now.”

Oh Jin Su stared at the screen with a face that had lost all words.

And behind him, half of the management team staff stood watching the screen.

“A level 35 takes down a level 70 boss in one shot…?”

“It’s only possible because it’s that User. Other Users couldn’t do it, right?”

“Of course. That User is beyond normal standards…”

The staff also clicked their tongues at the User’s prowess.

“But that Undiscovered Dungeon location, he must have learned it because of his party members, right?”

“That’s right. Those party members were the ones who discovered that Undiscovered Dungeon in the first place.”

The User obtained information from mercenaries and visited the Snow Mountain in the north.

There was no way to know the location of an Undiscovered Dungeon originally.

This time could be called an extremely lucky case.

“But did he really not know? Considering what he’s shown so far, he might have known…”

“Whether he knew or not, it means the User completed the Quest.”

Severely damaged corpses visible next to the Giant White Fang.

The User recovered all the stolen treasures through those corpses.

“Now he’s going to use those Evolution Stones, right?”

“That’s right.”

Oh Jin Su swallowed nervously with a tense face.

Where would he use all those Evolution Stones?

Surely not the bow?

Then what kind of change would occur to the Red Dragon Bone Bow?

His heart pounded violently with anticipation.

* * *

[Level increased.]

[All stats increased by +1.]

[Bonus Stats +1 granted.]

Good.

His level increased additionally from defeating the Giant White Fang just now.

[Player Information]

-Nickname: Hoon

-Level: 36

-Class: Muhuang (Lower Martial Artist 1st Tier)

With this, his level was 36.

[Detailed Stats]

-Strength: 46(+4) -> 50

-Agility: 46(+6) -> 52

-Stamina: 46(+6) -> 52

-Defense: 46(+4) -> 50

-Wisdom: 46(+4) -> 50

-Mana: 50(+5) -> 55

-Divine Power: 48(+4) -> 52

-Mental Power: 36(+6) -> 42

-Unapplied Stats: 45

His detailed stats had also increased significantly.

However, since he hadn’t invested his Bonus Stats yet, despite reaching level 36, none exceeded 60.

‘It’s fine. Just a little more.’

Everything was for the future.

The moment his unapplied stats reached 100, Jung Hoon would invest all his stats.

“Wow… That’s amazing.”

Johannesburg and Canvasra examined the fallen boss’s corpse and continuously exclaimed in admiration.

An arrow that pierced precisely between the eyebrows.

A Critical Hit triggered, instantly neutralizing the Lv.70’s defense.

‘How is this the archery skill of a level 36?’

‘Crazy… Seeing that he just reached level 36, the numbers aren’t wrong.’

He didn’t defeat it with firepower.

He precisely struck the creature’s weak point and ended its life in an instant.

To accurately pierce such a narrow vital spot.

It was truly insane skill.

“Um… are you perhaps an archery athlete?”

Johannesburg asked cautiously.

With such skill, he must surely be an expert who had handled bows in reality.

Moreover, it wasn’t like an archery target that stayed still, but he accurately pierced the vital spot of a moving target.

With this level of skill, he should immediately go out as a national representative and be active.

“No.”

Jung Hoon shook his head.

Archery.

When he first picked up a bow, it was already impossible to enjoy such peaceful sports.

Some small countries were destroyed and disappeared, causing even the surrounding nations to greatly stagger as their established infrastructure collapsed en masse, turning the world into complete chaos.

It still remains vividly in my memory.

“Um… why are you like that?”

Johannesburg’s voice trembled at Jung Hoon’s murderous expression.

He wondered if his question had somehow angered him.

Fortunately, Jung Hoon’s expression quickly returned to normal.

“It’s nothing. Let’s collect the rewards instead.”

Now it was time to settle the rewards.

Jung Hoon approached the corpse lying nearby.

A small pouch was glinting inside the corpse’s clothing.

[Quest completed.]

[‘Lower Subspace Pouch’ acquired.]

Lower Subspace Pouch.

Unlike users, NPCs carried these subspace pouches to store various items and goods.

Of course, it was such a precious item that it was rarely seen in the Beginner Zone.

Why would mere bandits have such an item?

This subspace pouch was also stolen.

The roaring lion emblem carved in the center of the pouch.

This was a Noble Family crest.

Though it was currently a ruined noble family, Rex had simply acquired the subspace pouch by chance.

‘This is an item for future quests. I should keep it.’

Before that, he opened the subspace pouch and transferred all the equipment the bandits had stolen from the blacksmith to his inventory.

Among the equipment was the Energy Extractor that Vulcan handled.

With this, he could now refine the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

“Oh! This is the reward this guy drops?”

“That’s amazing!”

Johannesburg and Canvas were completely absorbed by the rewards dropped by the Giant White Fang.

Jung Hoon leisurely collected the subspace pouch and joined them.

Since Jung Hoon had dealt the final blow, the rewards belonged to him.

‘Giant White Fang Hide.’

[Giant White Fang Hide]

-Type: Material

-Grade: Rare

-Hide of a Giant White Fang.

-Precious material used for making defensive equipment. (Lv.60 ~ Lv.100)

First was the White Fang’s hide.

This boss’s hide cannot be separately removed.

Because the corpse rots immediately upon death.

Therefore, the only usable hide is what drops when the creature dies.

“Gulp.”

The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from behind.

That’s because this hide currently goes for as much as 30 gold.

30 gold for just one piece of hide.

However, the defense power of armor made from this hide becomes incomparably higher than armor of equivalent level.

So the hide alone can command such a high price.

Even divided by three, that’s 10 gold.

Moreover, the hide wasn’t the only reward the creature had dropped.

[Giant White Fang Magic Core]

-Type: Material

-Grade: Rare

-Magic core of a Giant White Fang.

-Can be used to separate refined magic cores for weapon (Staff, Wand) manufacturing. (Lv.60 ~ Lv.100)

The magic core.

Similarly, the magic core was also a material item worth about 25-30 gold.

Using this magic core to craft staffs and wands would be useful for leveling up to 120.

“Gulp.”

The sound of swallowing saliva continued.

Jung Hoon took those items and initiated trades with them one by one.

“Why the trade?”

First was Johannesburg.

“I’m going to settle the rewards for you.”

Along with those words, Jung Hoon placed the Giant White Fang Hide in the item window.

Johannesburg’s eyes widened greatly upon seeing it.

“Shouldn’t you… sell it and give us the money…?”

“I’ll give the hide to you, and the magic core to the user next to you.”

Actually, the purpose of this dungeon was to retrieve the items stolen by Rex’s bandits.

The items dropped by the Giant White Fang could be useful, but they weren’t immediately necessary.

So he planned to give them to those who had worked hard to get here.

Johannesburg’s face became moved as he received the hide.

“Thank you so much!”

A whole 30 gold.

An amount expensive enough to buy another rare-grade sword.

Next, he initiated a trade with Canvas.

Since Canvasra is a mage, the mana core would feel even more precious to him.

As expected, he pressed the trade completion button with tears welling up in his eyes.

“Thank you!”

“Yes. Then please keep today’s subjugation quiet.”

They quickly understood what Jung Hoon meant.

“Don’t worry!”

“We’ll keep it completely secret!”

The bribery effect was the best.

* * *

After finishing the subjugation, Jung Hoon immediately visited the blacksmith.

The blacksmith, which had been a complete mess, had been thoroughly cleaned and transformed into a neat state.

“Huh? What, you’re back already? I guess you couldn’t find it after all?”

Vulcan, who had been hammering iron, stopped his work and greeted Jung Hoon.

“No. I found them.”

Jung Hoon took out all the weapons, defensive equipment, and Vulcan’s equipment he had stored in his inventory.

Seeing them, Vulcan’s eyes widened and an exclamation mark appeared above his head.

The Quest had been completed.

[You have completed the Quest.]

[Vulcan can now accept commissions.]

Good.

Now I can entrust him with commissions.

“You found the weapons and defensive equipment?”

“It’s really them?!”

The blacksmiths’ eyes grew hot as they saw the stolen items.

They were happy to recover the works they thought they would never find again.

Among these were defensive equipment that village NPCs had commissioned.

If they hadn’t recovered them, they would have had no choice but to pay 100% compensation.

In that case, the blacksmith’s losses would have been indescribable.

Since they no longer had to bear such losses, the blacksmiths looked at Jung Hoon with eyes full of goodwill.

[The trust level of all NPCs in the blacksmith rises dramatically.]

Vulcan was included among the NPCs.

“Thank you so much! Right, you said you wanted to refine using Evolution Stones, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Then can you show me what weapon you want to refine?”

Jung Hoon nodded and took out the Red Dragon Bone Bow from his inventory.

As the bow with an extraordinary appearance emerged, the eyes of all the blacksmiths, including Vulcan, widened.

That was natural since unique-grade weapons virtually never appeared in Edenhark, so they would have had no chance to encounter one.

Judging by how Vulcan’s hands trembled slightly as he held the bow, it seemed to be his first time too.

“Is it possible?”

At Jung Hoon’s question, Vulcan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

“It’s possible, but… to refine a bow like this, one stone would be nowhere near enough.”

This meant that refining was impossible with just one Evolution Stone.

“Then what about 9?”

Jung Hoon remembered.

That refining the Red Dragon Bone Bow consumed as many as 9 Evolution Stones.

“Hmm… that much would be possible. But it won’t be easy to obtain 9 of them, would that be possible?”

“Yes.”

He took out all 9 Evolution Stones he had stored in his inventory and placed them down.

“Impressive…”

“Will a week be enough?”

“That would be sufficient.”

Vulcan nodded and accepted the commission.

[Blacksmith Vulcan has accepted the commission.]

[Refining of the ‘Red Dragon Bone Bow’ begins.]

[The required time is ‘168’ hours.]

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“I’ll do my best!”

* * *

After leaving the blacksmith, Jung Hoon went to the Village Square and met Ha Jin.

“Hey, I completed it!”

Ha Jin’s face was beaming with joy.

It seemed he had finished the Quest faster than expected.

“You found it quickly?”

“Yeah! After digging in the Field for about 30 minutes, the pendant came out.”

“Really?”

30 minutes was considered quite fast.

“Right. So everyone kept approaching me asking where the pendant was. I felt so good about it.”

Ha Jin smiled proudly as he recalled the moment when he briefly became a star.

“Did you tell them?”

“Am I crazy enough to give away such valuable tips? I just brushed it off saying I was lucky.”

“Hehe, well done. So what about the item I asked for?”

“This hyung brought it perfectly. I added some of my own money to buy more items, so be grateful.”

Ha Jin said this while putting up 3 items.

One was a one-handed sword.

===

[Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword]

-Type: One-Handed Sword

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 67

-Critical Hit Rate: 1 ~ 1.5%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): When using Swordsmanship Skill, attack power increases by an additional 5%

-Special Ability (2): When holding the sword, [Passive: Brave Spirit] automatically activates

===

Jung Hoon grinned.

Yes. This was exactly the one-handed sword he wanted.

“Thank you.”

He felt grateful to Ha Jin who had sold the Evolution Stones and personally obtained the items for him.

So he was going to give him all the remaining gold.

But he had additionally purchased a dagger and knuckles.

All of them were Rare grade weapons.

===

[Id Dagger]

-Type: Dagger

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 53

-Critical Hit Rate: 1%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): When equipped, dagger’s attack power increases by an additional 5%.

-Special Ability (2): When equipped, dagger’s critical hit rate increases by an additional 0.2%.

===

Not bad options for a Rare grade.

===

[Bronze Knuckles]

-Type: Knuckles

-Grade: Rare

-Attack Power: 56

-Critical Hit Rate: 1 ~ 1.25%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): When equipped, knuckles’ attack power increases by an additional 5%.

-Special Ability (2): When equipped, knuckles’ critical hit rate increases by an additional 0.5%.

===

The stats were slightly lower than the Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword, but they were still quite usable.

‘Good, I got the Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.’

This sword was no ordinary sword.

‘When it’s later revealed to be used as material, it will jump up to as much as 1,700 gold.’

Considering the average price of 50 gold, it was an item that would rise by roughly 34 times or more.

Of course, he didn’t purchase this item to make a profit.

Jung Hoon planned to use this sword as material.
