My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 233

karma shopping (1)
‘There's a lot to do.’
Even ten bodies are not enough..
Normally, that would just be an idiomatic expression, but for me, a person with ten bodies, it was an extremely realistic story..
No, it actually seemed busier because there were ten bodies..
‘As we all play in the big water, we naturally become involved in big things..’
First, Harley, who finally got the “Two King’s Engraving” engraved on him..
Shamans who value tradition recognized him and showed respect to him without much resistance, but this did not mean that he immediately became the king who ruled the south..
It had already been a long time since the last Tuwang appeared, and the system of warchiefs elected through mutual agreement had been solidified..
Even if it was a promise made in the early days of the founding of the nation, it would not have been easily recognized by the public of the current generation....
Things are going a lot smoother than I thought..
‘Well, it's worth it.’
This time, he was a member of the death squad that defeated the Immortal King in the south, and a great warrior who saved Chalcos by killing the former warchief Baltheon, who had betrayed humanity and committed all kinds of violent acts..
Even the current warchief, who had been exiled, found it difficult to return quickly due to the aftereffects, so the public had no choice but to respond favorably to the young hero 'Tuwang Harley' who would become their new center..
‘I guess I'll have to go see Patrick once the south is somewhat sorted out. You've been whining so much to show your face to the mercenary guild sometime, but I guess you're doing well now..’
Secretary General Patrick, by using his name, overcame the risk of being dismissed and sat safely in the guild, but in order to get things done, Harley needed to intervene more actively in the guild..
Since I've entrusted you with the task, it's only right to cooperate at this level..
‘Hans too... he'll need some time for a while..’
Hans, the immortal king, was scheduled to recuperate in the immortal castle for a while..
At this time, he went into hiding with two major research items..
The first is to trace the ‘seed of madness’ using a piece of metal obtained from the Gate of the Abyss and find the revolutionary who is with it..
‘He is so unusual that he has been able to completely evade tracking until now. If he makes a clumsy attempt and gets caught, he doesn't know what else to do. This time, we will handle it for sure..’
The second was to perfect a way to go to another world using Salma's damaged thoughts..
‘The more karma suppliers there are, the better. No matter how much you work at Outerica, there will eventually come a limit..’
This was especially true since I had no intention of ever being concerned about fighting the Immortal King..
Of course, you may be able to exert influence through avatars who have risen to key positions in each force, but unless you intentionally encourage chaos in the world, it is obvious that as the situation stabilizes, your income will decrease compared to now..
‘Moreover, Kang Hwan's world is at the level of martial arts world. He has a reputation for being one of the best in the world when it comes to interpersonal combat, so you might be able to get something helpful..’
Although Hans' ability to read memories robbed him of the knowledge of several martial arts returnees, he was unable to fully awaken their essence because their fundamental systems of power were too different..
Of course, the stolen basic knowledge and martial arts alone were a great help in Heinrich's growth in the "path of martial arts," but in order to properly acquire the secret arts, it was necessary to go there and learn martial arts in person..
On Earth, which is a wasteland of supernatural abilities, it is impossible to enter energy, and in Outerica, the laws that constitute energy are different..
Of course, it took time to produce results either way..
‘The rest is not urgent right now, so let's think about it later. There are other things to worry about right now..’
As the saying goes, at this very moment—.
I had bigger things ahead of me than anything else..
“Phew—okay. Then let's get started.”
I took a deep breath in tension, rubbed my hands together, and glared at the system window in front of me with sharply opened eyes..
『Karma Store Ver..2』
Yes, it was finally time for the long-awaited shopping..
Prepared bullets are 5.3 million points.
‘First of all, let's start···.’
First, with a light heart, I purchased two copies of 『Elixir of Growth (7 Days) (200,000)』 and sent them to Howard and Hesperon..
This time-saving elixir would be more valuable than anything to Howard, a dwarf craftsman who sweats in the blacksmith shop every day, as well as Hesperon, who is immersed in training by devouring all kinds of magic books..
‘Let’s pretend we’re being fooled just once and buy it. If you don't think the effect is good, there's no need to do it next time..’
At first I was going to buy just one and test it out, but then I just bought the big one for a clearer comparison..
On the one hand, it was a process of mastering techniques using the body, and on the other, it was a process of accumulating knowledge and manipulating magical power. This will allow us to judge performance more clearly..
Now all that remains is 4.9 million points.
I haven't done anything, but the front seat has already changed..
Feeling somewhat nervous, I glared at my next target..
『Random guitar skill acquisition (500,000)』
random draw.
It was a familiar object of love and hate for gamers as well..
The devil's marketing strategy that endlessly siphons money from consumers who are fascinated by probability..
Originally, I had no intention of touching such a highly gambling product.···.
‘If I think about it carefully, it's quite profitable for me..’
「“Avatar” shares the skills of the main body.
In other words, I didn't pick just one skill..
It was like selecting as many as 10 skills shared by all nine avatars, including the main body.!
‘If you think practically, the price is only 50,000! At this level, it seems strangely reasonable not to do it! ···Let’s try it just once.’
How helpful was the first shared skill, “Super Recovery,” in the initial steps of the clones??
Not only was it helpful, but it also had a great influence on the evolution of later skills, such as Harleyna Hines II's "Super Regeneration"..
‘「It’s okay even if subtle performance features such as “ruggedness” come out. Having it will help you in some way. Plus, if it hits the jackpot,···.’
I don't ask for much.
It would be nice if they provided something small like “Physical Immunity”, “Resurrection”, or “Instant Death Mystic Eyes”..
Having already been completely captivated by a fantasy that did not exist, I confidently chose to take the lottery with high expectations.—.
《Forcing random possibilities to bloom. Acquire skill “Xenoglossy”.》
At the same time, I was able to acquire a skill with a very cool name that seemed to have something to it..
“Oh oh-! oh···?”
Xenoglossy).
It was definitely a great ability.
Because it was a superpower that allowed me to freely speak a language I had never learned before..
You can read, write, listen, and speak all processes fluently beyond a native speaker, and this applies regardless of race or race..
Yeah, like—.
Just as I am now freely speaking the continental language and Elvish language in Outerica..
In other words, it was an ability that was basically equipped with awakened people who were sent to another world..
“···No, no. Let's not judge hastily. I'm sure it will come in handy..”
If you think about it carefully, it was a useful ability on Earth..
When Hahoetal first started working in Japan, how much of a headache was it due to the language problem?.
Because of that, didn't I have to learn Japanese separately for a while by diligently reading memories related to the language??
···In other words, it was an ability that Hans could easily replace if he took the time..
“Well, Hans is a high-quality person. He's good enough so we don't have to waste time on such issues in the future..”
Not only was it possible to collect information more reliably in that time, but the fact that there was no need to go through cumbersome intermediate processes was a big advantage..
After desperately trying to rationalize myself, I closed my eyes and turned my head away..
···I promise that I will never touch gambling again..
Remaining karma is 4.4 million.
I almost lost my mind, but I calmly controlled my mind while looking at the bullets that were still in abundance..
‘Of course, what is stable is the strengthening of unique skills..’
It is the foundation that has made me who I am today, and like a hearty soup, it is a choice that I will never regret..
120I chose 'Unique Skill Enhancement' worth 10,000 won..
《The avatar's potential increases. The object's learning ability is further improved.》
《As your unique skills grow, your possibilities expand. Related sub-skills are further strengthened.》
There were no special abilities this time, but it didn't matter because the number of avatars increased..
And what followed next.
『Gold Dragon Hatchling Heureione's Dragon Heart (910,000)』
An unreasonable race that is born with great power, uses magical power like breathing, and goes beyond extremes to transcendence just by growing older..
It was a necessary medium to imitate such a being..
‘I can change into another race at most, so I guess I should try the dragon, which is said to be the strongest race.?’
Of course he was sincere, but it wasn't just for that reason..
It was I who eventually raised the avatars, who started out as ordinary races, to the top of the continent..
If I were to take the body of a dragon, which has much higher potential than a human, and do my best to nurture it,···?
‘Maybe he can actually surpass even Hans, the immortal king.?’
Plus, it will be of great help when dealing with that Buncheonhoeju..
Hans, who is the biggest force, is at a disadvantage to the angel, so wouldn't it be better to give him a dragon instead?!
So, since I was going to use it as a medium anyway, I searched the list of items and chose the cheapest dragon heart..
The price is less than half the price of 1.83 million that I first discovered..
Even though it was a hatchling, the baby form of a dragon, it was terrible that the cheapest item cost 910,000, but it was still worth it..
‘A dragon that was thoroughly targeted and became extinct in two great wars. In the process, most of the dragon hearts were contaminated by the Immortal King, while the intact ones were used as war materials by the continent..’
There was no way anything could be saved in a war of such scale that risked the life and death of an entire race..
Of course, it is not the case that among the equipment that uses dragon hearts as a material, there is no equipment that has been passed down to this day.···.
‘The conditions cannot be satisfied with a split and processed dragon heart..’
Even if it wasn't the immortal king Hans, it was enough to obtain a few such magic tools with the influence of saint Heinrich or the ruler of a country, Heinz II..
However, it was just a great magic tool and was not suitable as a material for “customization”..
‘To use it as a medium, you need an intact object. It is pure and unprocessed, as well as uncontaminated..’
The situation was different when creating common races such as humans, elves, and dwarves..
And of course, there was no way such quality goods could still be left in a place where they could be easily found..
So the hatchling's is probably 910,000..
‘There are no special conditions for such unique items, and the price doesn't seem to change in real time depending on the situation. No, I wonder if it really exists on the continent right now..’
In fact, if you think about it, it would be much more efficient to earn karma by actively moving during that time and growing your avatar, rather than searching for the whereabouts of the item without a promise to save some points..
After concluding my thoughts like that, I forced myself to stop worrying, which had begun to lengthen, and resolutely purchased the item before any further hesitation occurred..
Ugh—
And at the same time.
A golden crystal the size of a fist appeared in space and landed lightly on the palm, emitting a soft golden light..
‘This is a real dragon heart.’
It was much smaller than what Harley saw when he penetrated Heratos' heart, but the energy it gave off was overwhelmingly pure..
“But...is it a little lacking??”
However, the moment I saw it in front of me, I was able to instinctively realize it..
This item is suitable as a medium, but I am still not at the level to use “customization”..
‘Not enough? Then just strengthen it!’
Now that I've come this far, I can't back down anymore..
Anyway, there are only 2.29 million bullets left..
I strengthened “Customization” once with 100,000 points using “Other Skill Enhancement”.
“still?”
But even that wasn't enough.
I suppressed the fluttering corners of my mouth and strengthened myself once more, this time using 200,000 points..
Remaining points are 1.99 million.
1Just when I was about to become depressed about the first digit changing to.
At the same time, I was able to use “customization” — the satisfaction that filled my heart was doubled..
‘There's no need to hesitate.’
It's extremely stable, so the energy leakage isn't that big, and there are all kinds of barriers around the entire house, but that doesn't mean an item containing this much energy can't be left unattended for a long time..
Slurp—
And immediately after activating the skill.
The golden dragon heart in his hand gradually turned into powder and scattered..
