Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 123

◈ 123. [Side Story] Box Gang (4)

What was revealed today.

It is true that the lottery god and I had no relationship whatsoever..

“…….”

Among the mountains of tragically exploded boxes, I was lying sprawled out like a corpse after being blown up..

“The winner of the lottery… … you bastard…….”

How much I cared about you... … Did I love you alone?……?

I stood up awkwardly while pretending to be the protagonist who suffered a broken heart all alone. My stomach hurts, but I have to organize the items that came out..

The result of today's box game was, in a word, a mess. Not a single finished product appeared. Only consumables or material items came out..

‘Why were you saving it??’

I gritted my teeth as I looked at the Stage 4 reward boxes rolling around. I felt like a fool for saving this and keeping it..

‘From next time, if I open the box all at once and collect it, I am not a person but a dog..’

I have a feeling that I will have to bark sooner or later, but anyway, I gathered the items lying on the floor..

[Rewards]

- Standard top-quality magic core (SR): 1

- Standard Advanced Magic Core (R): 2

- Advanced Stamina Potion: 3

- Advanced Magic Potion: 3

- Abnormal status removal potion: 2

- Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll: 1

All potions for the magic core. And one dungeon escape teleportation scroll..

‘Escape Scroll I think I had one of these at the beginning of the episode too..’

I pursed my lips as I roughly threw the scroll into my inventory..

The Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll is an item that allows you to escape the dungeon in an emergency..

It sounds good on paper, but in reality there are quite a few problems..

The first problem is that you have to give up all compensation..

I guess it's just for escaping. Throw away all the compensation and run away with only the body..

As a result, it is better not to use it unless you are in a situation where it is quite impossible to clear..

The second problem is that when using a scroll, the casting time alone takes more than 10 seconds..

In other words, it cannot be used in imminent crisis situations..

In the meantime, our party went through many hardships, but there was no time to leisurely scroll through this scroll..

‘You might use it when you get lost or in trouble. Anyway, I have little to write about..’

Well, potions and hacks have a wide range of uses..

This means that the reward expected from Box Gang is not an item like this. After putting all the items into my inventory, I sighed heavily..

I was hoping for something that would be helpful for this stage.…….

‘huh?’

But wait a minute. I feel like something is missing. I counted the items in the settlement window..

‘……A total of 12.’

Wasn’t there 13 boxes??

Let's raise our head and take a look around, hey.

There was an SR grade reward box lying in the corner of the bed..

“What, why didn't it open??”

Apparently they all opened at the same time. did i make a mistake?

Anyway, a spark of hope suddenly came to life. I prayed with both hands, looking for the lottery god again..

“Hey, God of lottery! We had a good time! Even out of respect for the past, please give me just one finished product.!”

I shouted and opened the box. Just give me one! Please!

and.

flashing!

The purple light that shot out of the box gathered into one shape. I gaped..

It's really finished?!

[Screaming Gloves (SR) Lv.30]

- Category: Auxiliary equipment

- defense : 5-10

- Durability : 5/5

- Intelligence +5 horsepower+5

- For each consecutive enemy you defeat, your magic critical rate increases by 1%. This effect lasts for 30 seconds.

> Set effect: You must scream (1/3)

- When equipped with all sets, inflicts the AoE fear status effect every time an enemy is defeated..

(‘Orb of Screams’ is required to activate the set.)

(‘Robe of Screams’ is required to activate the set.)

“Eh? This is where the scream set is completed.?”

Suddenly, the scream set was completed. I crossed my eyebrows as I looked at the gloves in my hands..

No, of course it's good that the set came out. Good.

‘Of all the set items, only the Scream Set was so lucky to be collected so well.?’

what… … Have you received any probability correction? Because I ate the orb first, the rest followed..

“Hmm…….”

I groaned, glaring at the item..

Something… … I doubt it.

‘……First of all, let’s write with gratitude.’

Anyway, it is an SR grade set item. It's also a 3 piece piece. It's a performance that suits Jupiter, a wide-area wizard..

To clear Stage 5, you must use all available means. I'm in no position to hide it.

‘Now that I think about it, there is also that item that I ordered from the blacksmith shop..’

I also remembered an item I had ordered a while ago..

As expected, I made it to give it to Jupiter, but the owner actually passed out due to injury. I was stranded..

‘I'll have to give it to you later..’

I packed the gloves of screams in my arms..

Will Jupiter be able to use these items properly? … With honest concerns.

***

Rest until evening.

Let's go eat, but sure enough, Evangeline didn't come because she was sleeping. I bet she's hungry again in the night.

Lucas served my meal with a heavy face. Well, I feel like I'm going to get upset just by looking at you, so relax your face..

I know your heart is heavy, but my appetite is also getting heavier..

After the meal, Lucas ordered him to get some rest and not plan on doing escort work today (which he accepted obediently), and told the chef to prepare a portion for one person as Evangeline would attack the kitchen during the night..

So night time.

I found Ader's room..

“Director, welcome the player guest..”

“Oh my, my lord! What's going on in my room…….”

Ader, who was working on paperwork in an alcove in the corner of the mansion, was embarrassed when I came to see her..

“I came because I wanted to talk to you..”

Now that I think about it, this is my first time coming to Ader’s room. I slowly looked around the room..

It was such a dreary space that it was hard to believe it was a room occupied by people..

In a room with achromatic wallpaper, the only furniture was a desk, a chair, and a bed..

Aside from the documents to be processed as an aide, there is not even a single book, and everything is completely empty. You're doing well in a place like this..

‘huh?’

At that time, I noticed something in the corner of the desk and walked towards it..

‘chess?’

There was an old chessboard lying around..

Perhaps because they were replaying the game, the black and white horses were messily playing around..

As I was looking at it blankly, Ader cautiously called out to me..

“Lord?”

“Ah, yes.”

Because I didn’t come to see the interior of this guy’s room. Let’s get the business done quickly..

I quickly told Ader what happened during this free expedition..

“Celendion came to visit? directly?”

Ader also seemed taken aback by the story that the vampire king had invaded..

“The boss monster came directly to me. This time, we got over it without a big problem because the bastard had a screw missing, but if something like this happens again, it will be difficult. How do I explore the dungeon??”

I've been talking for a long time, but in the end, there's only one thing I'm asking for..

Reward, you bastard. give me a reward.

Sprinkle it on!

“The Lord of the Legion came out of his territory and came directly to the player. It must have been a clear violation of the rules in the game. But my lord, this is reality..”

Ader, who was lost in thought, spoke quietly..

“Monsters and humans, the lake kingdom and the empire. Most things that happen within the framework of this great country are acceptable. Don’t you know, Lord?.”

“Mmm.”

That's right.

I also use many tricks that would be impossible if it were a game. Something like equipping Damian with six horse guns..

However, there is no guarantee that we will not be attacked again during the next free exploration. And if you're not careful, it's game over there..

“Just a moment, my lord..”

Ader opened a system window and quickly manipulated something..

“We've added some simple features to the achievement store. If you purchase and apply it, it will help prevent something like this from happening..”

“Hoo.”

I also quickly opened the system window. What.

[Welcome to the Achievement Points Only Store!]

[With the achievement points you have collected, you can purchase various items and abilities that are helpful in the game..]

[Current achievement points: 900,000P]

New arrivals… … Let's see. Is this it??

[boss detection radar]

- Sends a warning when a boss monster is nearby.

- Price: 5,000P

[emergency escape bomb!]

- Apply a forced stun to surrounding monsters, and the player party's movement speed increases by 100%..

- Price: 45,000P

- When using the function, 1 ‘Dungeon Escape Teleport Scroll’ is consumed.

“That would be really helpful..”

Rather than systematically blocking it, you should detect it and run away. Besides, if you run away, you should run and hit it.?

“Wouldn't it be better than nothing??”

“Okay.”

It's at a level where I really feel like it's better than nothing. That's right. I grumbled and used my points to purchase the feature..

The [Traitor's Necklace] around his neck sparkled for a moment. Looks like the function has been applied.

“And my lord. These factors may feel like a crisis now, but.”

Ader lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled..

“Wouldn't it be possible to take advantage of this later??”

“…….”

“In other words, the stage boss monster can come to the lord in the dungeon... … This means that the lord can also visit the stage boss monster in the dungeon..”

My eyes opened brightly..

Wait a minute, that's really true. then…….

“It's up to the lord to use it. Therefore, I will not systematically prevent this incident..”

“…….”

“This stage will be a series of adversities, but I believe that you can overcome it, Lord..”

Ader grinned..

For some reason, he seemed like a real director rather than an idiot..

“Good luck, my lord..”

***

next day.

I visited Jupiter in the morning. Sure enough, this old lady had been spreading around the mercenary guild since morning..

“Come to your senses, you gold fanatic! I need to recuperate at the temple so that my runaway magic will heal quickly and I can return to the front lines.!”

Jupiter looked embarrassed when I asked for it..

“There is no answer to curing the aftereffects of a runaway of magical energy other than time, Your Majesty. So, I’m just sitting around like this too..”

“Even if you don't say something, they won't hate you... … Okay, get ready to go!”

“yes? Where are you going, Your Highness??”

So he put Jupiter on the chariot and went to the blacksmith shop..

When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith who had been notified in advance was waiting for us..

The blacksmith took Jupiter inside..

“The equipment had already been manufactured and was just waiting to be measured. Once you measure your size, we will adjust it so that it is comfortable to wear and give it to you right away..”

“Equipment? size? Your Majesty, what does this mean??”

I clicked my tongue at the confused Jupiter..

“Surprise, grandma. surprise.”

After a while.

Jupiter was wearing a golden breastplate and his mouth was wide open..

Boss equipment that I made after catching the boss monster Golden Gargoyle during free exploration in Area 3. It was golden armor.

[Golden Armor Dog (SR) Lv.35]

- Category: Armor

- defense : 35-40

- Durability : 15/15

- Intelligence +10 horsepower+20

- Increases the wearer's magic resistance by 25%.

- Chance of obtaining cash items increases by 5%.

- The wearer gains the unholy trait [Golden Ore].

Originally, it was a physical defense-oriented equipment. Simple strength and stamina stat bonuses.

However, at the end of the blacksmith's modifications, a bonus was added that was completely opposite to the original goal of the equipment..

At this point, it can be said to be a magic armor..

‘It's a good piece of equipment, but the negative characteristics are forcibly granted..’

After all, it is [Gold Mine] Buyeo..

So it's a bit of a piece of equipment, but Jupiter already has a gold mine..

Since the characteristics cannot be applied repeatedly, it is possible to nullify the equipment's negative options..

So I made it to cover Jupiter, but since you stretched it out, it's only been dusty so far..

Jupiter, who was drooling as he looked down at his armor, hurriedly wiped his mouth and looked at me..

“this… … Can I enjoy this luxury?……?”

“Then you should enjoy it, who else will enjoy it??”

Wouldn't it be better for you to fret alone rather than have the entire party get caught in the gold mine and get upset every time they see money??

I also gave Jupiter the [Screaming Gloves] from earlier. Old water, drink it all, wizard..

“……Thank you very much, Your Majesty..”

Wearing a scream set and golden armor.

The smile slowly disappeared from the corner of Jupiter's mouth, who was unable to hide his joy..

“I am currently unable to go to the front lines..”

Jupiter, who was watching me carefully, asked.

“Can I give all of this equipment to my granddaughter??”
