BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31
Earth Korea Management Team.
“That’s it, isn’t it?!”
“That weapon was in Idenharc!”
The management team staff were stunned by the majesty of the restored bow.
How many people wouldn’t know that bow?
Red Dragon Set.
Dragon weapons were known as rare items in New World.
The reason lies in the set effect.
If you wear both Unique armor and weapons, you can get a set effect close to Legendary grade.
Such dragon weapons have been discovered in Idenharc, which is called the beginner zone.
“It’s really crazy… The rest of the set isn’t with another user, is it?”
“Yes. I think so.”
Currently, all armor except for Red Dragon weapons has been transferred to other users.
If you find only the weapon, you can get the set effect, but it has been in vain.
“If you sell it to that user, you could get a huge price, right?”
“That’s right. If you only have a weapon, you can get a set effect, so you’ll be willing to pay whatever it takes.”
“I’m envious… If you have that, you’ll get a year’s salary, right?”
“What’s a year? If you really want to, you can get 5-6 years’ salary, right?”
“Huh!”
The average annual salary of Earth Korea is around 310 million won.
They are receiving an annual salary that cannot be compared with other companies.
If it’s 5-6 years, it means that one game item is worth 1.5 to 1.8 billion won.
Actually, the average market price of Unique items is around 50 million to 100 million won.
However, the value of the Red Dragon weapon can be expensive regardless of grade.
“Then will you try to sell that weapon?”
“I guess so? There’s only one user who collected the Red Dragon set except for the weapon.”
A very famous user.
Myth Guild’s Bow Master Lee Hwa-Rang.
He collected all the armor except for the bow.
So he’ll sell it to him for a very expensive price.
“Oh! If that happens, you can buy a lot of other items.”
“That’s right.”
“Wow, this is really awesome!”
The staff were busy guessing the user’s actions.
‘…That was real!’
Oh Jin-Soo opened his eyes wide when he saw the bow.
Red Dragon Bone Bow.
He never thought he would get one of the bows that the divine archer Richard handled.
‘As far as I remember, the weapon that the hero handled can evolve.’
It’s not just because of the simple set effect.
If you are a user who has studied the history of the New World, you would have heard that the weapons that evolved as the hero disappeared were backed up to the initial state and spread throughout the New World.
Oh Jin-Soo also studied the history of the New World to get a class, and it was a question that came up in an actual interview, so it remains in his memory.
‘What if… there’s a plan to evolve that weapon?’
Wouldn’t that be possible if it was the user’s move that he had shown so far?
* * *
Jeong-Hoon entered the mine with Jorden.
[Epic Quest: Mine]
-Restriction: User with restored map
-Reward: ?
-Description: You have entered the mine indicated on the map. Take the treasure of the mine.
The treasure hunt was not over yet.
Since he found the Red Dragon Bone Bow, he would go through the evolution process here.
That was the final reward of this series of quests.
The inside of the mine was filled with darkness and was so wide that the end could not be seen.
If he hadn’t used the artifact, he wouldn’t have been able to see anything in front of him.
When Jeong-Hoon visited before returning, artifacts were attached to the wall and it was bright 365 days a year.
Since the mine has not yet become famous, it has not been developed at all.
“Come here!”
The place Jorden guided him to was the end of the mine.
The end was blocked by a wall, and the detector he was carrying like a bag was reacting to it.
‘This is nostalgic too.’
Jeong-Hoon approached the wall.
And he took out the map he had put in his inventory.
A wall that cannot be forcibly pierced.
To get past this wall, you need a restored map.
It was a wall designed that way in the first place.
“Huh? What are you trying to do?”
“I have to open it.”
Jeong-Hoon attached the map to the wall.
Then a change took place.
[A qualified person opens the door.]
A small pattern on the wall glowed with blue letters, and then the rock slid to the side, revealing a new space.
“What is this!”
Jorden opened his mouth wide with a surprised face.
“Let’s go in.”
Jeong-Hoon entered the space with a calm face.
Jorden followed him.
“Where the hell is this?”
He began searching the area with his detector.
But before long, his body stiffened.
“Krrr.”
A giant lizard that looked like a newt was staring at them with its eyes wide open.
[Lv.60 Young Dragon]
Lv. 60 Young Dragon.
Jeong-Hoon’s level is 33.
And Jorden’s level is 35.
Having faced a monster that was almost twice as strong, Jorden’s whole body stiffened.
“Get out of the way.”
At that time, Jeong-Hoon pulled the bowstring of the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
Then, in the place where there was nothing, a red magic arrow formed and took its place.
[‘Arrow’ is activated.]
[Arrow]
-Type: Active
-Level: 1
-Grade: Rare
-Consumes 1 mana to increase the arrow’s attack power by 20.
According to the grade of Steadfast Will, Arrow also rose to Rare and the attack power of the arrow doubled.
Jeong-Hoon aimed at the young dragon, pulling the bowstring taut.
‘Let’s see the damage.’
For the first time since returning, he obtained a weapon worthy of being called a weapon.
He was able to see the firepower of that weapon at this moment.
Jeong-Hoon released the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The arrow was shot, drawing a parabola with a sharp tearing sound.
The arrow pierced the young dragon’s head accurately.
[Critical hit!]
Critical hit chance is 2~2.5%
You might think that he was lucky to get a critical hit with a low probability, but that was not the case.
The critical hit chance is just a role to help you get a critical hit even if you don’t hit the vital point.
If you hit the vital point from the beginning, the critical hit chance becomes 100%.
And the part that the arrow just hit is the young dragon’s vital point, the forehead.
If it had been an ordinary bow, the arrow would not have pierced the skin, but the arrow just shot was from the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
An arrow with a whopping 176 points, adding 20 arrow attack power to the attack power of 156.
“Cough!”
The young dragon collapsed sideways without any resistance.
It was dead.
“Uh… huh?”
Jorden looked alternately at Jeong-Hoon and the young dragon with a bewildered face.
And he went closer to the young dragon, checked its condition, and burst into admiration.
To hunt a Lv. 60 monster with just one arrow.
Looking closely, the arrow pierced the young dragon’s forehead and penetrated into the brain.
Surely… If this is the case, you can’t help but die.
‘Who the hell is that guy?’
No matter how good the bow is, the ability of the bow is determined by the user.
He never expected that a stranger with a lower level than himself would show such force…
It was the first time he got goosebumps from such perfect archery skills.
Actually, it was the second time, but it was an archer he met in Idenharc quite a long time ago.
But even he couldn’t keep up with the archery skills he just showed.
“Let’s go.”
Jeong-Hoon, who actually hunted the young dragon, moved on without any excitement.
‘No, it’s a young dragon? You’re saying you took care of a level 60 young dragon with one shot and you’re okay?’
Normally, he would be excited or at least a little happy.
Jeong-Hoon felt no emotion.
Just moving forward.
He felt it when he brought the map, but that stranger… is not ordinary.
Jorden followed Jeong-Hoon and began to observe him.
* * *
Whoosh!
The arrow was shot, piercing the young dragon’s head once more.
[Critical hit!]
One-shot again.
[Level up!]
[All stats +1 increased.]
[Bonus stat +1 awarded.]
And the level rose to 34.
“…I’m speechless.”
Jorden applauded in admiration at the perfect archery skills.
This was the sixth young dragon to be knocked out with one shot.
“I don’t think there’s any more.”
“None? Shouldn’t we look further?”
“No. There are only six young dragons here.”
Users who came in to find treasure had to hunt six young dragons.
It was no different this time.
Jeong-Hoon and Jorden arrived at the end of the mine.
And they were able to find the treasure in front of them.
[Evolutionary Ore Vein]
The treasure was none other than an ore vein.
It was an ore vein full of Epic grade evolution stones.
[You have discovered the Evolutionary Ore Vein for the first time! 2,000 achievement points have been awarded.]
[The number of stones that can be mined from the ore vein is ‘1’.]
I wish I could take all the evolution stones here, but the quest reward is set so that you can only take one.
Jeong-Hoon dug out one of the stones.
[Quest completed!]
[You have acquired an ‘Evolution Stone’.]
[You need to visit a blacksmith to use the stone.]
It wasn’t that he could use the evolution stone right away.
The energy contained in the evolution stone had to be extracted and applied to the weapon, and for that, he had to find a blacksmith who specializes in enchantment.
Fortunately, there was one such blacksmith in Idenharc.
“Wow, this is crazy!”
Jorden’s eyes turned to the sight of the ore vein unfolding in front of him.
He took out a pickaxe and started mining evolution stones.
[You can get additional evolution stones from NPCs.]
Jeong-Hoon nodded.
Lee Hwa-Rang, who first performed the quest, took 10 stones.
After that, users had to be satisfied with one evolution stone because Jorden did not accompany them.
‘Then shall we wait?’
To get additional evolution stones from Jorden.
Of course, there were conditions to get 10.
[Would you like to reveal the ore vein?]
[If you reveal the ore vein, the reward will be increased by 10 times.]
It was to reveal the reward details to the server.
At the time, Lee Hwa-Rang revealed this reward, and thanks to that, the Idenharc map quest became a national quest.
“I have to.”
Whatever it was, the fact that users grew through evolution stones remained the same.
Jeong-Hoon had no intention of touching that future.
[Rewards will be revealed.]
[The revealed rewards will be posted on the New World homepage.]
* * *
World Com became chaotic as the rewards were revealed.
[Evolution stones have appeared in Idenharc!]
-Did you check?
└Yes, I’m logging in right now and moving to Idenharc.
└Wow… What? Isn’t an evolution stone worth about 100 gold each?
└Crazy! I’m going to get it right now!
└We need to find the person who got the reward first and give them a prize lol
The value of an evolution stone is a whopping 100 gold.
The first evolution stones appeared in the Asga continent, which can only be crossed after reaching level 200.
Therefore, it was known as a very rare item, but to be able to get it in Idenharc, the beginner zone…
Naturally, users flocked to Idenharc.
“Quest! Please give me a quest!”
The users approached the old man and accepted the quest.
“Really?! Thank you! Thank you!”
The old man gave the users a quest with tears in his eyes.
The pendant is a quest that is generated at the same time as the quest is accepted.
However, the location where the pendant is generated varies, and you cannot touch the pendant, which is another person’s quest completion item.
In other words, you can only complete the quest if you find the pendant that was created when you received the quest.
“But where do you get this pendant?”
“I know, right?”
“It’s really difficult…”
The users, who couldn’t even imagine that it was buried in the ground, were just stamping their feet.
