The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 41
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
I was seething at the system’s maliciousness.
This evil system bastard, I could see it was determined to drain all my LP.
└ Wow, the alchemy materials are brutal lol
└ At least he’s got the Ancient Dragon Bone Fragment, thank god lol
└ For real lol There’s not a single cheap material except the Lumen Refining Stone?
└ Right lol Even the cheapest Draco Heart Core will cost around 500LP each…
└ The Reverse Scale and Sky Ring Ore are the real problem lol
└ Don’t both of those cost around 10,000LP at market price?
Being such a no-lifer that I habitually monitor the trade exchange even on my days off, I had already roughly calculated how much I’d need the moment I saw that list.
So… at minimum, 25,000.
If there wasn’t enough supply, I’d have to be prepared to burn up to 30,000LP.
And coincidentally… exactly 30,000LP was my entire available fortune right now.
This system bastard definitely had full knowledge of my asset status.
Hunters School or whatever it was, I had one more reason to apply there.
└ But if it’s mythic-grade alchemy, you should be able to use at least this much, that’s true ㅇㅇ
└ Room Owner, you know that 8th-tier mythic longsword sold for 100,000LP the other day, right?
That’s 8th-tier, hyung…
By that logic, a 10th-tier mythic-grade longbow would cost over 1 million LP, wouldn’t it?
└ The Drakiel or whatever the Room Owner is trying to craft… wouldn’t it definitely be at least 8th-tier? It’s mythic and dragon-type after all?
But… Drakiel will very likely be account-bound, right?
But weapons can be sold after using them…
In simple terms, it’s called an ‘asset’.
There’s a reason Seoul apartments are expensive, isn’t there?
└ Crazy bastard lololol
└ Crazy rice-eating bastard lol
└ Even after this, no one’s gonna defend saying Dave’s rice-eating is just a concept, right? lol
Well…
Even if the Constellations criticize me for being stingy, I have nothing to say.
It’s the truth, what can I do.
But nevertheless.
Sadly, I… don’t have the option of not completing this alchemy Quest.
The most expensive of all alchemy materials, the ‘Ancient Dragon Bone Fragment’, is already in my inventory.
And in ‘account-bound’ status at that.
[Ancient Dragon Bone Fragment (Account Bound)]
This is the most malicious part of the system.
To slip in an Ancient Dragon byproduct worth whatever price you name as account-bound…
Just to utilize this, I couldn’t give up on this alchemy.
So.
-Well, I’m going to do some shopping?
Having made my decision, I opened the trade exchange and began a shopping spree.
Ding-!
[‘512LP’ has been paid.]
[‘Draco Heart Core’ item has been purchased.]
[‘515LP’ has been paid.]
[‘Draco Heart Core’ item has been purchased.]
…Omitted…
Fortunately, there was sufficient supply so the prices were reasonable.
No matter how much my orientation is toward being stingy… once I’ve made a decision, I don’t look at the small stuff.
Trying to save a little by dragging out time here wouldn’t guarantee how much I could actually save.
And if the supply just got depleted for no reason, the worst result of increased costs could occur.
[‘10800LP’ has been paid.]
[‘Sky Ring Ore’ item has been purchased.]
[‘12000LP’ has been paid.]
[‘Golden Reverse Scale’ item has been purchased.]
But watching my LP account balance converge to zero in real-time, I felt pain as if my flesh was literally being carved away.
Of course, as much as my expression was souring, the Constellations’ reactions were explosive in return.
└ Kyaaaa
└ So refreshing lol
└ This is the first time I’ve seen this bastard spend money so refreshingly lol
└ This is it, Dave hyung! When you invest, you gotta do it properly for high potential, right?
No, not happening.
This is really the last time.
I’m serious about this.
[All materials required for alchemy have been registered.]
I refreshingly spent my entire fortune to buy up all the materials, but I couldn’t help but flinch at the next message.
[Would you like to use the Seraphic Forge for ‘Drakiel Alchemy’?]
[Y / N]
So the moment I select Y here… materials worth nearly 30,000LP will just disappear, right?
Phew.
Of course, the alchemy process still remains, but selecting Y here means crossing a river of no return.
30,000LP deleted with one click – I think I need to take a deep breath.
“Whooooo.”
At least it’s fortunate there’s no failure probability for this click.
[Class unique skill, Seraphic Forge has been activated.]
[Starting ‘Drakiel’ alchemy now.]
But I need to concentrate from now on.
Wooooong-!
On this pure white magic circle that appeared before my eyes, I need to inscribe the alchemy formula I learned while possessing Raphael.
[The quality of the result may vary depending on the completion of the technique.]
There won’t be failure, but there could be differences in the result quality.
└ Alright, let’s go with the 30,000LP magic circle~
└ If he messes up while doing that, does the Room Owner lose 30,000LP?
└ He won’t lose it all, but maybe half will fly away…?
Consciously avoiding the Constellations’ chat, I concentrated all my mind on my fingertips.
[Current alchemy progress: 0.3%]
The skill system provides some guidelines, but ultimately it’s my hand that draws the final alchemy formula.
So am I nervous?
Ziiiiing-!
Actually, I am a bit tense because the materials are expensive…
That’s all.
I’ve played several rounds in beta… would this be my first time drawing such techniques?
I’ve played a regular alchemist for about two rounds, and a magitech engineer for three or four rounds.
The spirit mage that requires drawing similar techniques, I think I’ve played over 20 rounds?
Zing- Ziiiiing-!
So me being quite good at drawing techniques from the start is more in the realm of effort and grinding rather than natural talent.
└ Wait; why is Dave so good at drawing techniques???
└ Crazy talent-gifted bastard…
I wanted to say that there’s a considerable misunderstanding in the Constellations’ term ‘talent freak.’
└ That technique looks insanely difficult at first glance; haven’t you made a single mistake yet?
I invested almost 300 million in materials, so wouldn’t it be a crime if I messed up, bros?
But not making mistakes aside…
[Current Synthesis Progress: 12.7%]
[Current Technique Completion Rate: S+]
The completion grade is S+…?
I… didn’t expect it to go this well?
└ Holy shit;;;;;
└ Was carving techniques always this easy?
Originally, regardless of class, when you complete a technique without any special mistakes, you get an A grade.
That was like a promise within the Lika System, so my goal was actually around an A+ completion grade.
Even when playing the beta version, I could count on my fingers the times I carved techniques to S grade or higher.
[Current Synthesis Progress: 36.9%]
[Current Technique Completion Rate: S+]
But even though I’m almost reaching 40%, I’m still maintaining S+ grade?
[A perfect ‘Path of Mana’ has been completed.]
[The technique’s completion rate becomes even more solid.]
[Current Synthesis Progress: 50.0%]
[Current Technique Completion Rate: SS]
The completion rate even went up another level??
└ What the hell;;;
└ If you were going to do this well, were you just whining about burning 30,000 LP?
└ No wonder that rice boy was acting all bold and spending LP like crazy ㄷㄷ
No, it’s true that I spent LP boldly without looking back, bros…
Let’s not be unreasonable.
Whirrrr-!
But I really don’t know why…
Drawing techniques feels incredibly easy.
So it’s not an issue like the standards for technique completion grades changed…
I can actually feel that I’m drawing techniques incredibly well.
With a bit of exaggeration, if I had drawn techniques this well when I was a Spirit Mage, the fairy might have shed hot tears saying I finally found my talent.
It’s really that good.
[Current Synthesis Progress: 67.3%]
[Current Synthesis Progress: 79.5%]
Anyway, as I concentrated like that, the end of what seemed like a quite complex technique finally came into view.
[Current Synthesis Progress: 94.8%]
And as the progress approached 100%, my concentration also reached its peak.
But right at that moment.
Whirrrrrr-!
A new type of System Message that I’d never seen in my entire life appeared before my eyes.
[‘Mana Flow’ becomes explosively stronger.]
[Technique progress speed accelerates by 50%.]
Huh, what’s this?
Why is this suddenly happening?
└ Wow shit;; Mana rampage on your first technique synthesis?
└ Is this for real?;;
Mana rampage?
Is this some special phenomenon that occurs when you reach SS grade during synthesis?
I’ve never experienced this even during beta, so I don’t know exactly what it is, but suddenly the synthesis progress speed increases, and accordingly, the work difficulty increases exponentially.
[Current Synthesis Progress: 97.2%]
But I can’t make mistakes after coming this far.
If I just complete this, wouldn’t this be the first time in my Lika life to achieve SS technique completion rate?
I have to pull through somehow, right?
Whooooo-
With that thought, I think I entered a state of complete absorption.
The last remaining 2% or so of the technique, I don’t even remember what state of mind I drew it in.
However, when all the work was completely finished.
Ding-!
[A perfect ‘Mana Core’ has been completed.]
[The technique’s completion rate has evolved to another level.]
[Current Synthesis Progress: 100.0%]
[Current Technique Completion Rate: SS+]
Upon checking the results, I couldn’t help but doubt my own eyes.
