In order to let them know that their thoughts were wrong, the only way was to show it by running.

They won’t take the first step unless they say, “I’m going to do this and you’re just going to sit back and watch.”

The nobles are not fools either, so if they succeed in purifying the land, they will want to contribute as well.

It was necessary to create a situation in which they could change their thinking so that they could fight against the contaminated area again.

‘I didn’t know that Su-han was thinking the same thing as me.’

All this time, I couldn’t just say that I was thinking like this.

What’s the point of saying it?

No one takes it seriously.

I stopped talking to Sasha at some point.

She tries to stop me from saying this, saying it’s dangerous.

So I thought Soohan would do the same.

But it wasn’t.

‘I was thinking the same thing as you.’

That’s to be honest.

‘It was a foul.’

It made me misunderstand that he was someone who was determined to trick me.

I say I do crazy things like this to get my hometown desert back, but she didn’t do anything like that.

It was a sense of duty to do so purely for the benefit of humanity.

So the child couldn’t help but look even more beautiful.

‘Ugh!’

Is it because it reminds me of Suhan?

Suddenly, my lower abdomen felt warm, and the secret area underneath it felt subtly tickling.

I realized how long it had been since I hung out with that guy, and I wanted to see his face again.

‘I have to endure it.’

Today was a day when I really didn’t want to go to class.

It was a strange feeling not having a loved one by my side to share the joy of having my eyes healed.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“There are fewer and fewer customers at the general store over there.”

I was curious about what happened to Ash General Store after the bet with Rebecca, so I went for a walk around there.

It wasn’t that there were no customers at all, but considering how busy Ash General Store used to be, it was at a level that could only be seen as flies flying around.

‘It’s on the verge of ruin.’

The owner of Ash General Store had accumulated karma, so it was worth it.

Besides that.

“When did this happen again?”

A large new general store has opened across from Ash General Store.

It is a location choice with the blatant intention of stealing customers from Ash’s General Store.

And the trick must have worked, as students who should have gone to Ash General Store were crowding the store across the street.

“Tea bagging is coming.”

Even excluding such special circumstances, the number of students seemed small.

‘Is it because my stuff went into the academy?’

Rebecca and Ash General Store’s bet had an unexpected publicity effect.

Since that day, the amount of items ordered from the academy has been increasing.

It’s good to make a lot of money, but it seemed like if I kept giving all that stuff to the academy like this, the general store would run out of stuff to sell.

Business was not good because the location of the general store was not known, but even general stores had their own ‘rules’ that had to be followed.

If it was a store that sold goods, I didn’t like it when customers came in and felt like there was nothing to buy.

“But the money is quite good.”

Even before thinking about this in the first place, rejecting Academy orders was something I had never considered.

So, then what is it?

‘I have to pick it.’

It was time to run the gacha.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

I had a memory of being embarrassed because I couldn’t get Ariendo equipment even though I had promised him that I would get him equipment, so I invested quite a bit of money to get him a weapon.

In the process, I picked up a lot of unique equipment, but how frustrating was it when an unfortunate incident occurred in which Ariando’s wasn’t available?

Still, I felt comfortable playing the gacha as much as I wanted, thanks to the fact that I picked up Ariando’s unique weapon in the last payment.

I was confident that I could restore it even if I spent money.

“Is this my weapon?”

“huh.”

In this way, you can hand over the unique equipment to Ariando at a high price.

“Oooooh!!!!!!! Something’s cool!!! Can I touch it?”

“of course.”

Ariando’s unique equipment was a dagger.

There was an unknown message written on the body of the sword in a simple yet luxurious green color, and even to me, it looked like a well-worn weapon.

“Do you like it?”

“It feels good in the hand. Wow~ Doesn’t this just stick to the palm of your hand?”

“No way.”

Ariando repeated the action of putting down the dagger and touching it again, as if he couldn’t believe it.

His hand and this unique equipment fit so well that he thought the dagger was stuck to his palm.

“Once you try it, you’ll like it even more.”

“You don’t have to use it to know. This is a must-buy!”

As expected from a rich family, she has the right attitude toward purchasing things.

“How can I not like this? It’s completely safe! I like it. Give it to me right now!! I’ll definitely buy it! It’s a good thing I brought something expensive. Will you accept the deal for this?”

Ariando took out a pouch from his arms.

Although it was larger than Ariando’s hand, it was still too small to be a monster by-product.

“Is this the price?”

Ariando seemed to be planning to pay for the unique equipment in a lump sum.

I don’t know what they brought, but I heard that it was of relatively good quality among monster by-products, so I was expecting it to be similar to the price Baine paid.

“Yes. Let me take a look.”

After asking me to check the item, he grabbed the dagger and started swinging it around to feel the taste of his hands.

‘It’s not anyone else, it’s Ariando, so there’s no way he would have beaten up the price.’

I opened my pocket and checked inside.

‘what?’

At first glance, the light blue sparkling thing looked like a diamond, but since it was said to be a monster by-product, it seemed like it was a special part.

‘Special parts are really expensive.’

Gulp!

This will sell for more expensive than the basilisk by-product Baine gave you.

Indeed, it was an incredible distribution worthy of a young lady from a duke’s family.

And that distribution inevitably arose from the desire to own things.

“Is there anything else?”

“That’s not enough?”

“It’s not that he’s lacking! Since you got me a weapon like this, I thought I could get some good other parts as well.”

So you want to cover your entire body with unique equipment?

There’s no way that’s possible.

“I’m not that talented of a person.”

“After all, I come from a duke family. I’ve tried all kinds of good things, but this is the first weapon I’ve fallen in love with.”

Ariando keeps trying to lure me by praising me, as if he wants me to get all the other equipment.

However, with my ability, the only equipment I could give Ariando was a dagger, so I shook my head resolutely.

“Don’t ask for anything more than that. I won’t give it to you even if I have it.”

“Why~ I’m going to pay you the right price for the item.”

“Instead of coveting other things, why don’t you try something else instead?”

“Anything else?”

“The weapon I gave you is actually a growth type.”

“Growth… bro?”

Since this world did not have the game that I played in my previous life, it was necessary to explain in detail about strengthening unique equipment.

I thought it would take a long time to understand because I had no idea about this concept, but surprisingly, I understood it perfectly.

“So what you’re saying, boss, is that if you spend money on this weapon, it can become stronger?”

“But you need some luck. If you fail, you may become weak again, so you have to be careful.”

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, if you put money on it, it will become stronger.”

Ariando said that this was his first time seeing something so unusual and that he was curious about how it worked.

“Then do you want to give it a try now?”

“Yes!! Please do it right away!! What should I do?”

“wait.”

Actually, it was my first time doing strengthening, so I didn’t know how to do it.

First of all, it was clear that this would be a strange thing for the child to do, so I asked for a dagger and told him to wait here, and then went into the warehouse.

When you open the reinforcement window, you will see a hammer-shaped UI button next to it in a square box.

First, I tried pressing the hammer shape.

[There is no target to strengthen.]

“Then can I just put it here?”

When Ariando’s weapon was placed in the square space, the actual dagger fit into the square window! and went in.

It was kindly written below that the equipment would not be destroyed until level +3.

Lesson 1: Enhancement success rate (100%)

Kyaang!!!

success!

Lesson 2: Enhancement success rate (98%)

Kyaang!!!

success!

Lesson 3: Enhancement success rate (90%)

Kyaang!!!

success!

I successfully made it to the third round with ease.

From this point on, there was a possibility of destruction, so I decided to ask the child.

Since I don’t own it, I couldn’t keep building it indefinitely.

“Arian too.”

I went outside and took out the unique equipment from the square box and showed it to them.

“That’s three strong points.”

“Wow! The weapon has gained a strange power? It seems to have become stronger than before.”

Ariando was clearly feeling the change, perhaps because he was the owner of the equipment.

In fact, the basic stats of that weapon were much better than the basic stats.

=================================

Jesberos [+3] (SSR)

one handed dagger

Base attack power: 271

12% increased Physical Damage

Critical hit damage increased by 9%

Poison damage increased by 5%

=================================

The name of Ariando’s dagger is Jesberos.

The basic attack power was 256, but as I progressed to the third level, the value increased by 5 to 271.

“From this point on, it really costs a lot of money. We have to use separate scrolls to prevent destruction. And the additional money that goes into it is going to increase.”

“If you strengthened it three times, how many times did you do it?”

“It’s just the beginning.”

The semifinals can be seen as the beginning of climbing.

When I played this game in my past life, there was no reinforcement system, but I had enough experience with reinforcement when playing other games that I knew what it felt like.

“How many times can I reinforce it?”

“They say the limit is up to level 12, but if you go beyond level 9, the probability of reinforcement will go below a decimal point. That’s the same as telling you not to do it. In my opinion, it would be better to stop at level 9 or level 10.”

How much money have you lost because of reinforcements in other games?

He took advantage of that experience and willingly passed on his know-how.

Unfortunately, it seemed like my delivery of know-how did not reach Ariando’s ears very effectively.

“Round of 12!”

“You shouldn’t think that this is just strengthening. It is possible to prevent destruction, but it is not possible to maintain strengthening. If you fail, the strengthening may drop all the way. You could go to the round 9 and then become the round 3, or go to the round 11 and then go to the round 3. It exists.”

The fact that there are items that increase the success rate but no items that maintain reinforcement proves that this reinforcement system is clearly going to be a money-sucking hippopotamus.

“It doesn’t matter! Please keep going!! Top 12! Absolutely top 12!!”

Is it really worth showing off like a child of a noble family like this?

When they said that 12 lectures was the maximum, they were talking as if there was nothing else to see other than that.

Once he gets to know the reality, he will change his mind about demanding 12th grade.

of course.

“…Let’s make sure we do the math, kid.”

I decided to check the value of the items this guy brought.

This was because I knew that there was no limit to the amount of money poured into strengthening.

I know he has the ability to repay the trauma, but if I don’t set limits, he’ll be here killing me for hours.
