93. Rainbow effect
The design is definitely an important item.
‘It is better in terms of time to buy a design with the combination formula rather than inserting various items and substituting numbers for various cases.’
It also reduces labor.
But is it worth going up to 1 billion?
‘That’s not it again.’
A design is simply an item containing information.
Materials to make design items must be obtained separately.
‘In short, I spent 1 billion just to buy information.’
As a buyer, you would have invested because you thought it was worth it.
‘Well, it must have looked attractive because it was the first design item to appear and it was said to be able to create unique armor.’
Perhaps, after acquiring information through a design, you may receive benefits in exchange for sharing it with others.
There are actually people who make money like that.
‘If I wanted to, I could make a lot of money by selling the food combinations in my head… … .’
But the reason not to do so is simple.
‘That’s because the benefits of monopolizing information are greater than selling it out.’
Rather than consuming limited ingredients by sharing them with others, monopolize the ingredients yourself.
‘If you combine items like that and sell them, you’ll have a lot more leftover business.’
However, I have no intention of going through the trouble of making and selling items.
I just plan to make it by combining only the items I need.
There is so much money that it will rot anyway.
‘Not to mention if the stock price rises.’
Anyway, I was satisfied with having 1 billion won in free money when I got a phone call.
I looked at the sender and it was Ma Gyeong-rok.
“Yes, CEO.”
– Prophet! Have you seen the auction winning bid?
“Yes, I saw it.”
-Oh my god, 1 billion in one day. I had no idea it would go up that high.
“Is it confirmed who the buyer is? If he has that much wealth, he must be close to CEO Ma.”
-you’re right. I already looked into it and found out that the buyer had the same name as the eldest son of Hancheol Group. Well, I’m not close with him, I just know his name.
“Is that so?”
-And I looked into this and that. About 10,000 people bid in 24 hours. As the Prophet said, it certainly seems to have caught people’s attention. As soon as the auction item went down, traffic dropped significantly.
“Really? Then shall we hang one more item?”
-Is there anything else worth posting?
“It’s an item called bull leather, and I think it might sell if I add it as a necessary material to the design I posted earlier.”
-How did you know what was needed for the design?
It was a sharp question, but Ryu Min had an almost omnipotent answer.
“I saw it as a prophecy.”
-iced coffee… … .
“Anyway, I’ll stop by the company later to deliver the items.”
-All right. If you give it to Manager Kim, he will take care of it.
Being a CEO makes this kind of thing easier.
Because troublesome tasks can be passed on to employees.
-By the way, where did you get items such as designs and materials? This is my first time seeing this item too.
“Do the items come out the way I want? I got lucky while catching monsters, huh?”
If you pass it off as luck, it’s a good idea to make excuses like this.
“Looking at it, it’s only been a day, but a lot of items have arrived.”
-you’re right. Currently, over 3,000 items have been registered.
“Hmm, it’s difficult if there are too many sellers.”
-There are many buyers. The transaction volume is over 50 per hour.
“As a matchmaking site, have you prepared transaction measures?”
-sure. As discussed before, considering user convenience, we created a variety of transaction methods such as direct transaction, delivery transaction, and consignment transaction. At Playplay, we provide identity verification and various authentication methods so that buyers and sellers can transact safely.
“That’s nice.”
Perhaps because he was the son of a conglomerate, Ma Gyeong-rok had entrepreneurial qualities.
“As you said before, it was made so that foreigners can register, right?”
-yes. Although it will be opened overseas in a week, we have established a system in advance so that players from all over the world can use it. We resolved all legal issues as well as customs clearance.
“Well done.”
Currently, there are only 40,000 players in Korea.
Of course, you cannot succeed if you limit your customers to Korea.
If possible, we need to expand our scale globally.
Only then can we gather materials from all over the world.
-First of all, I will tell you to send the auction money directly to the Prophet’s account.
“All right.”
-If you have any other items you want, please purchase them as well.
“Yes. Sure.”
Ryu Min hung up the phone and grinned.
‘I was going to do that anyway.’
I accessed the app and looked around to see if there were any useful items.
‘People must have been tight for money so they posted a lot of this and that.’
Equipment that was no longer needed as the level increased, or magic stones and material items whose uses were unknown.
There were many types listed.
‘Shall we start by sweeping up the unique ingredients?’
I have memorized the unique item combination formula required for the Reaper over and over again.
‘Deer tree root, black diamond, oak’s tooth, gnoll’s spine… … .’
There are quite a few types of items dropped by one monster.
Even for that insignificant goblin, the goblin’s rusty dagger, beginner level equipment items, goblin blood, old leather bag, etc.
Drops more than five or six different items.
How do you know that?
‘Because I experienced it firsthand through dozens of episodes.’
Even if you catch the same monster, the items that appear depending on the probability are different.
Did this monster give you something like this? This is not the first time I have been surprised.
‘The probability is low, but there are so many types of items.’
Therefore, it is not easy to figure out the combination formula without a blueprint.
There are limits to obtaining materials on your own.
This is probably why there is a transaction function.
‘The reason it is unlocked only after reaching level 40 is because it is the point at which various items have been secured to be able to trade.’
However, most players need 9 rounds to reach level 40.
‘We can’t wait until then.’
So what I came up with is a social market that players can use.
I made it with the idea that if no one else made it, I could make it myself.
‘Of course, the person who actually created it is Ma Gyeong-rok.’
Ryumin put unique material items in his shopping cart.
‘Looking at it all together, I think I can make 3 unique items.’
All materials were purchased through courier delivery.
The purchase price was withdrawn from the cyber money previously charged to the site.
‘Now the seller will send the package to my address.’
Once the item is safely received, the site gives the seller the money minus the commission.
Even if the wrong package arrives, there is no need to worry as the site will refund you.
‘If the site acts as a middleman like this, you can transact safely without being ripped off.’
Perhaps because the market price was not set, the price of the product was not that expensive.
Most are under 500,000 won.
When I put everything in my shopping cart, the cost of the goods was less than 5 million won.
‘The cost of making three unique items is incredibly cheap.’
Ryumin smiled with satisfaction and then searched for magic stones.
The recipe for this recipe is known, and even for the lowest level, the price exceeds 2 million won each.
‘Well, it’s easy to figure out how to combine magic stones.’
He probably figured it out by combining the same colors.
It seems that they have already realized its value after realizing that it can be embedded in equipment.
‘There is no problem no matter the price.’
In reality, there was a lot of money.
Ryumin purchased all of the magic stones listed.
They were all the lowest grade magic stones, totaling about 90 pieces.
‘It’s no problem to spend about 18 million won.’
Ryumin grinned and pressed the payment button without hesitation.
* * *
two days later.
I heard my younger brother screaming from the front door.
“Gasp! Bro! What is this!?”
“What’s going on?”
Ryumin came out with an indifferent expression and grinned as he looked at the delivery boxes piled up in front of the entrance.
“You’re here.”
“Did your brother order all of this?”
“uh.”
“Why on earth are there so many….”
“It’s no big deal. They are items that players use.”
“Oh, so you bought it from a player-only market called Play?”
“Yeah. Anyway, can you help me move these?”
“Ah, okay, bro.”
My younger brother and I piled up delivery boxes in our room.
Dalkak-
I closed the door and opened the boxes one by one.
The contents were well contained and matched the 105 delivery boxes ordered.
‘good. Should I try some combination? First, start with a large number of magic stones.’
Magic stones of the same color were combined, combined, and combined again.
I took out the magic stones I already had and combined them.
‘You can make one highest grade magic stone with 16 lowest grade magic stones.’
The number, which was over 100, gradually decreased.
[Combination successful!]
[You have created the ‘Highest Grade Red Magic Stone’.]
[‘Highest-grade orange magic stone’ has been created.]
[Created ‘Highest Grade Yellow Magic Stone’.]
… … … … … …
… … … …
[I created a ‘highest quality purple magic stone’.]
I was able to make 7 top-quality magic stones of each color.
‘good. If you put this on every piece of equipment… … .’
Weapons, helmets, armor, gloves, shoes, necklaces, and even rings.
A magic stone was embedded in each of the seven locations.
[Combination successful!]
[‘Damage +16%’ option is added to Death Side.]
[The ‘Strength +32′ option is added to Hermes’ feather hat.]
[The ‘Luck +32’ option is added to the Wanderer’s rags.]
… … … … … …
… … … …
[The ‘All Stats +16’ option is added to the Ring of Resistance.]
All equipment was covered with top-quality magic stones.
After wearing the equipment, my stats increased dramatically.
-Strength: 206, Intelligence: 284
-Dexterity: 244, Luck: 202
‘All stats are over 200. Even though there are no runes of massacre and no blessing buffs.’
If you get the buffs here, it will go up from 600 to 900.
The corners of Ryumin’s mouth went up happily.
This is not the only thing I am willing to do.
[Wearing the highest grade magic stones of seven colors.]
[The buff ‘Rainbow Effect’ is applied.]
The equipment worn had a subtle iridescent glow.
It was visible and invisible depending on the angle, so it wasn’t bothersome.
Above all, the rainbow effect was not just about adding shine.
[Rainbow effect buff increases resistance to abnormal conditions by 50%.]
The biggest threat to Ryumin is his condition.
The rainbow effect can increase resistance to this by as much as 50%.
It was natural that the corners of Ryumin’s mouth did not lower.
‘50% resistance is a huge help.’
What if we apply 35% of Java’s Necklace, 35% of Ring of Resistance, and 15% of basic resistance, which is a common skill?
‘0.5×0.65×0.65×0.85=0.179. There is about an 82.1% chance of preventing status abnormalities.’
If it had been a sum operation, it would have already exceeded 100%, but unfortunately, the system’s percentage is applied as a multiplication operation.
Like this, if you wear magic stones of different colors, you will receive great effects.
‘Most people won’t receive the buff. ‘Because it’s not a buff you can get with regular magic stones.’
The condition for activating the rainbow effect is when you wear the highest grade magic stones of each color.
The buff cannot be activated with lower level magic stones.
‘It would be difficult for most people to make even a mid-level magic stone. Because there is a limit to the magic stones that an individual can obtain.’
Therefore, at this point, there is probably no one other than Ryu Min who has filled his equipment with top-grade magic stones.
Because I monopolized all the magic stones.
‘Of course, as time passes, properties will come up for sale again.’
There will also be people like Ryu Min who will try to monopolize the magic stones using trading sites.
‘But at that time, the value of magic stones will increase and there will be a shortage.’
Right now, the lowest level is 2 million won, but later it will be over 20 million won.
At best, it is the lowest level magic gemstone.
Later, properties for sale come up like beans sprouting during a drought.
Because you would think it would be a waste to give it to someone else.
‘I heard it’s so good to win early.’
Since we made the highest level, there is no need for magic stones for the time being.
Now it’s time to create a unique item.
‘It’s simple to make something unique. Just put the strengthening equipment into the main ingredients and the designated ingredients into the secondary ingredients.’
If you do this, you can transform normal equipment into unique equipment.
Rather than creating a new item, it strengthens an existing item.
But Ryumin had no intention of combining right away.
‘I’ve already gotten the ingredients, but I’m putting it on hold for now. It is advantageous if the equipment that is the main material has a high wear level.’
Ryumin’s current level is 54.
It won’t be long before you reach level 60.
‘Then your grade will rise to Master and the level of equipment you can buy at the store will also rise. ‘Unique item combinations should be done then.’
It would be a waste to strengthen the expert equipment I currently have.
It is much more profitable to purchase master equipment from the store and combine it after raising your level.
‘Right now, we should focus on securing unique materials in advance. There’s not much left until level 60 anyway.’
In the meantime, I will check the app whenever I have time and if any unique ingredients come up, I will buy them in advance.
When you reach level 60, all items can be strengthened to unique levels.
‘Could it be that the ingredients are still available?’
While I was thinking about it, I opened the app and checked to see if there were any new ingredients.
however.
‘huh?’
Ryumin blinked in disbelief after seeing the recently uploaded material.
‘Wait a minute, this… … .’
The reason Ryumin was surprised was no different.
‘It’s a necessary ingredient for combining legendary items, right?’
Because there were items posted that are not commonly seen.
