I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 25
◈ 025. [Side Story] Box Gang
Stage reward boxes were placed in front of me..
2 R-rated boxes, 3 N-rated boxes.
‘In the last EX grade box, there was only one strange necklace..’
I put my hands around my neck. The necklace from that time is worn around my neck..
What did you say? Did you say you can use it as the story progresses?.
‘I don't know how many great features are hidden there.…….’
Anyway, I hope something helps right away. I wish I could give you something that can be useful in the next stage right now..
I first placed three N-grade boxes on the bed..
Stage reward boxes mainly contain consumable items and material items, and rarely complete equipment..
Even if complete equipment is produced, it is usually of a low grade. In the case of N-grade boxes, 99% of N-grade equipment comes out..
‘But the probability is not 0.?’
Do you know by any chance? I'm going to go crazy and lose a single piece of SSR grade equipment.?
I opened three N-grade boxes at once..
“Is the finished product released??!”
Brilliant light came out of the box with the lid open. You can roughly tell the item's grade just by looking at the light. What color is it?!
gray!
gray.
It's gray…….
All three are gray. All three are N-grade items.
“Sheesh…….”
Well then. What do you want from an N-rated box?.
I mumbled and checked the contents. see.
[Rewards]
- Advanced Stamina Potion
- Advanced Stamina Potion
- Freeze Enchant Scroll
Somehow, all three ran out of supplies. If I had the ingredients, I would at least use them to make something..
‘Still, they are somewhat usable..’
Advanced potions have a much better recovery effect than regular potions. It is very effective if you keep it and use it in an emergency..
Enchant scrolls are also quite useful items. Once used, it adds properties to the weapon throughout the stage..
If you apply it to something like Damian's crossbow... … It will be effective.
‘Take these away.’
I turned my attention to the next two R-rated boxes. Let’s take a look at these one by one.
I opened the first box first..
“Is the finished product released??!”
flashing!
Blue light leaked through the open box..
Oh, it's an R-rated item.!
[Standard advanced magic core (R)]
“It's a material item.…….”
I was exhausted and muttering, but magic core is still the rarest of materials..
Magic core is a key material for high-end equipment and is usually used to make high-level weapons or artifacts..
‘There are already 3 magic cores I have collected so far..’
I checked the inventory.
One ‘Black Spider Queen Magic Core (SSR)’ obtained from the tutorial stage.
One ‘Ghost Knight Magic Core (SR)’ obtained in Stage 1 today..
And this ‘standard advanced magic core (R)’.
‘It will be useful once you start making this and that in earnest.…….’
I packed it up and picked up the last R-rated box. I opened the box without much expectation..
sweet!
Immediately after, brilliant golden light emanated from the gap in the open box..
“uh?”
I opened my eyes wide..
Golden here? SSR rating is rising?! Aren't you drunk and looking at nonsense??!
Bam bam bam-!
Then, with a loud fanfare, a glove came out of the box, sprinkling dazzling gold light. These are black leather gloves with metal studs..
“Oh my god you know!”
I was so shocked that I jumped out of bed..
It's SSR grade, and it's a complete equipment.?!
Shocked, I quickly held up the gloves with both hands and checked the name and options. What?!
[Lucky Strike (SSR) Lv.7]
- Category: Fighting Gloves
- offense power : 0~777
- Durability : 7/7
- Adds a 1% bonus to all probability rolls.
《““You’re lucky today.” - A gambler》
“No, this shit-!”
I just put my gloves on the floor..
Why! Of all the SSR grade unique weapons,!
“Is it Lucky Strike, an entertainment item?!”
This flashy glove has a simple effect just like its stats..
Yes. If you're lucky, you'll hit a jackpot of damage and even kill the boss, but if you're unlucky, it'll be 0..
Even so, the basic skills of the martial artist class are random, but if you equip this weapon, it becomes a very living, breathing roulette machine..
Although it may have entertained viewers during broadcasts, the character wearing it most likely died in battle..
Because of the probability bonus and all, single-digit damage often appeared and it was easy to explode..
“Where should I use this piece of shit?!”
I swallowed bloody tears.
Even though there is no fighting hero, this weapon is meant for entertainment in the first place. It's not practical!
However, I can't throw it away. No one would give it to me…….
After hesitating, I put the gloves on my hands..
Anyway, the sword I was originally wearing was just for flashy decoration. I thought it would be better than that.
Clap!
I lifted my gloved hands and examined them. It is very comfortable to wear. Maybe it's because it's an SSR grade item, but this is good..
“Ugh… … . Okay, where did it come from?…….”
There is no way I would wield a weapon on the front line anyway. It's almost like I have no aptitude for combat..
If something goes wrong, we can pray for the jackpot to hit. Let's think positively.
“……fuck.”
Are you going to be positive? Aaaah! I pulled out my hair..
If SSR equipment is going to be released, there are a lot of good ones out there. There are ‘Tears of the Archangel’, ‘Life Eater’, and ‘Heaven’s Sign’..
There are a lot of tricks that will make the game more comfortable once you open them..
why! Why! Lucky Strike!
Even after eating the golden item, I felt sick and groaned until early in the morning, when I finally fell asleep..
***
next day.
“Oh my, my oh my…….”
When I woke up with a hangover, it was already lunch time..
As I stumbled out of the room, all of the employees working in the mansion had puffy eyes. Everyone's hungover..
“Your Majesty, did you cough?.”
Lucas, who was standing in front of my door, greeted me with a pale face..
It looks like he drank quite a bit too. Her blonde hair, which was always neat, is noticeably disheveled..
“Are you okay? I should have rested until morning.”
“As a knight in charge of protecting His Majesty, how could you do that?.”
Immediately after that, Lucas covered his mouth and made an ouch sound..
“however… … It's a bit difficult…….”
“It must be really difficult for you to say something like that.…….”
I'm thinking, there's no place to hang out..
“Good morning to you both.!”
Ader appeared in the hallway. Why is this kid always so cool??
On the tray in Ader's hand were two steaming cups..
“Come on, it’s warm honey water. Take a sip at a time.!”
Ader handed us each a cup. Thank you for this.
As I swallowed the hot honey water, I felt a bit relieved. Ugh, I think I'll buy it.
Lucas and I emptied the cup cleanly and returned it to Ader. Ader took the cup and smiled brightly..
“You must have been tired from the battle, and you must have had a hangover. I think it would be okay to take a day off today.~?”
“Is that possible? I have to prepare for the next stage right away..”
I slapped my still half-awakened face with my hand. I'm feeling a little better now.
“Ader. What about the magic stone you obtained yesterday? Can I cash it out??”
“We are ready to sell. But it won't be as much as the black spider magic stone I sold last time..”
There is a difference in the quality of the magic stones, and since the magic stones were released in large quantities last time, the demand from merchants must have decreased. That's something that can't be helped.
“Leave the sales to me. You can set your own price..”
“Please leave it to me!”
“good. Maseok does that... … Lucas, Ader. Follow me. Let's go do some work..”
I left the mansion accompanied by Lucas and Ader. The first place we headed to was the village blacksmith shop..
When we arrived in front of the blacksmith shop, we saw blacksmiths working hard and pounding iron and using bellows..
I see a blurry system window displayed at the entrance..
[Facility - Blacksmith Lv.3]
The city's facility level can be raised from 1 to 10. There are many benefits as you level up..
The type of equipment that can be produced increases when the blacksmith is at a high level, and the probability of producing high-level equipment increases..
3At this level, all basic functions are open..
‘I need to pour some money here too.…….’
I'm spending a lot of money because I earned some money from tutorials, but there are endless ways to spend money. I need to come up with a systematic fund management plan..
“Welcome, Your Highness!”
The head of the blacksmith guild came out. I was reticent and told the business first..
“I would like to request a piece of equipment to be manufactured..”
There are a lot of things that need to be made, but we decided to order only those that are clearly needed right away..
“Since we were only mobilized to repair castle walls and water-based weapons, I thought they had forgotten our true worth..”
When we talked about equipment manufacturing, the union leader’s eyes changed..
“We will do our best to make it happen. What equipment do you want?”
“armor.”
I held out the ‘Ghost Knight’s Magical Core’ I obtained in the last stage..
“Use this as the core of the equipment, and use the highest quality materials available..”
Needless to say, this is armor for Lucas.
Lucas must continue to serve on the front lines as an SSR-level knight..
I need to put on a little more sturdy armor so I can send it out with peace of mind..
The Ghost Knight is the commander of the Living Armor Corps, and equipment made from the magic core naturally has durability and stamina bonuses. It will be a good body.
“this is… … It's a precious ingredient..”
The blacksmith who received the magic core swallowed his saliva..
“This is my first equipment order entrusted to you. I have high expectations.”
“I won't disappoint you.”
“Okay, Lucas? Go and take measurements..”
In the game, if you made equipment, anyone could wear it, but this is the stark reality..
It has to be made to fit Lucas’ body..
Lucas, who entered the blacksmith shop and quickly measured his body, was smiling..
“What do you like about it that makes you laugh so much??”
“I'm happy. Your Majesty is giving me armor as a gift, right?.”
“I'm giving it to you so that you can be put in more dangerous situations in the future.?”
“From now on, people will trust me more and give me missions..”
Was this kid’s tongue always this smooth??
I shook my head and left the blacksmith shop..
“Next, let's go see the castle walls..”
We headed to the southern wall together..
“Wow.”
As soon as I arrived at the castle wall, I made this sound without realizing it..
The ghost knight's huge sword was still lodged in the castle wall..
The walls had collapsed all around the place where the sword was stuck. The steel plates were split and the bricks were melted or reduced to powder..
“At this rate, we won’t be able to stop wild animals, let alone monsters… … How long will it take to repair??”
I asked the head of the masonry union who was measuring repair estimates on the castle wall. The union leader shook his head..
“The damage is too severe. I think it will take more than 2 weeks to completely fix it..”
“2Give it to me?”
“2 weeks for repairs alone. Lifting that sword is a big task.…….”
The head of the masonry union trailed off..
“this.”
I clicked my tongue briefly..
In short, it may take a few days to lift the sword, and after it is removed, it will take two weeks just to repair it?.
I sighed and opened the stage information window. It was already showing when the next stage would start..
[STAGE 2]
- Until start: 9 days and 20 hours
lack.
There is not enough time.
I had a headache and hit my forehead with my hand..
What should I do with this??
