The advantage of unique equipment is that there is absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to abilities.

On the other hand, what are the downsides?

‘It’s only for SSR characters, so no matter how good the ability is, I can’t use it.’

Unique equipment identifies its owner.

If someone other than the owner uses it, it is no different from a lump of scrap metal.

Even though I was the one who paid money to summon this item!

‘I’m going to die of injustice.’

Thanks to this, even though I picked up unique equipment, I had to leave it in the warehouse like a piece of cake in the picture.

Being able to pick up an SSR character was proof that the day had finally come when that beloved item could finally be paid for.

‘All SSR characters come from wealthy noble families. Even for them, unique equipment is so necessary that they must have it.’

Well then.

What if we sell this useless unique equipment to those guys at a high price?

‘I think I can sell this for a very expensive price.’

They are useless equipment to me, but the meaning of existence is completely different for SSR characters.

No matter how hard you try to get it from somewhere else, there will never be a weapon that suits them as well as the unique equipment I have.

‘The plan may be completely different. In fact, it will be better than you planned.’

How well I can sell unique equipment to nobles depends on my skills.

And I knew how much unique equipment meant to the characters.

‘I saw equipment that was perfect for me, but nobles save money? Of course, there have to be people like that. But at least SSR characters won’t do that.’

The higher the nobles, the more they spend money on equipment.

This meant that even if you didn’t plan to open a general store and sell the items you had collected so far, you wouldn’t have to worry about making a living.

‘But we still have to open a general store.’

I ran away from home when I was young and wandered around until I was 30.

Maybe that’s why I was tired of walking around.

‘Selling unique equipment is selling, and the general store we had planned should be opened.’

However, it was different from the previous plan in that the general store would serve as a ‘stable shelter’ rather than for the purpose of making ‘money’.

Of course, to pull off all of these plans, one thing had to be done.

“…Summons.”

Should I do it?

SSR character who will sell unique equipment.

Pulling it out was the first thing I had to do.

＊ ＊ ＊

Summon a hero.

Since it has been blocked so far, the only draw I can do from the store window is item summoning.

Although these items helped me a lot in my mercenary life, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed every time unique equipment came out.

If I use this unique equipment, I can use much greater abilities than I can now, but the unique equipment did not lend me its power.

But now, the once troublesome unique equipment has become a huge amount of money.

‘I need an SSR.’

The problem was that I needed to sell this equipment, but there were no SSR characters in this world yet.

After snooping around the academy, I found that no one had a familiar face, probably because I hadn’t summoned them.

‘How much do I have to use to get SSR?’

I was nervous because I was selecting my first SSR.

While living as a mercenary, I had accumulated a lot of money to summon heroes, but as someone who had summoned heroes, I knew very well how quickly this money could be spent.

‘How much did I do to raise this money… .’

In order to carry out my plan, SSR must rise.

When an SSR pops up, you sell unique equipment to that person, and use the sales amount to generate seed money to draw SSR again.

If such a virtuous cycle occurs, I can summon SSR characters, eat well, and live well without having to worry about money.

‘What if things go to the worst?’

What if I wasted all my savings and couldn’t choose an SSR character?

I had to save up money to summon SSR characters again.

As you know, you need monster by-products to put money in the store window.

‘I’ve quit my mercenary career, so where can I get monster by-products?’

If you try to twist it, it can get twisted like this.

So, I had to nail the first button better than anyone else.

“Let’s do it.”

Summon a hero that was unlocked when entering Academy City.

My fingers were itching to summon an SSR character.

I don’t know who will be summoned first, but I thought it would be good to select a character with a lot of money.

“Goes.”

Summon your first hero.

If it was your first summon, they would at least give you an event, but there was nothing like that.

I was in a situation where I had to pick an SSR based solely on luck.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a scroll that increased luck when picking items?

Press the summon button while looking at the luxurious cityscape of Tringer Academy.

If heaven were to take pity on me for all my hard work, it would add an SSR character.

Flash!!!

And the sky laughed at me.

“shit!”

The list of summoned heroes includes R-class, SR-class, and SSR-class.

To be honest, the R and SR levels are worth the price just for selling business cards.

The SSR character was a helpful presence while progressing through the main scenario in the game.

We called it birth difference, and in reality, it was impossible to overcome birth difference at Tringer Academy.

‘There are so many things that only SSR characters have.’

First of all, unique equipment.

Because it is equipment exclusive to SSR characters, there is no unique equipment for R or SR level characters.

It’s not just discrimination.

SSR characters have personal scenarios.

And the basic stats changed depending on how difficult the personal scenario was beaten.

It is a game with great discrimination, with no individual scenarios in the R or SR levels.

However, no gamer took issue with this.

This is because, in the first place, the R-class and SR-class were only for temporary use.

“No…again, R-level is too much.”

Class R was pouring down from the sky.

A needlessly flashy summoning effect.

The full-fledged spicy taste of hero summons was waiting for me.

＊ ＊ ＊

After entering Academy City, the only thing to do was to select an SSR character.

There was a lot of work to be done.

I had not yet recovered from the aftereffects of the spicy taste of the SSR lottery, but I could not put off what I had to do.

This was the answer I gave when I walked into a real estate store and was asked what kind of place I was looking for.

“I’m thinking of opening a general store. “Is there a building that fits?”

“Ugh? variety store? “I don’t really recommend that.”

But for some reason, I got a crooked answer from the beginning.

What I was saying was that I do not recommend general stores.

“Why are you doing this?”

“There is no major problem with the general store job itself. But here, Ash General Store is holding a tight hold on Academy students.”

The elderly man, who appeared to be at least in his 80s, raised his glasses and continued.

“It means that even if you open a general store, students will never come there.”

“I know Ash General Store well. But it doesn’t matter.”

Ash General Store.

This is a store I have also used when playing games.

It was not surprising that the store was dominating the Academy’s general store business.

“Ugh? “It doesn’t matter?”

“yes.”

I just needed a home of my own.

“Wow!! That’s what a guy who wants to do business can say?! “If you’re going to start, you should choose a promising career so you don’t waste your money!”

“Because it’s not about making money.”

I will make money in other ways.

“I don’t know what kind of idiot you are talking about.”

I thought it would be embarrassing to hear that someone who wanted to run a business said he had no intention of making money.

“My condition is this. It’s as close to the academy as possible, so it doesn’t matter if there are few people around. Please save me a place like that. I wish the store was on the second floor. “The first floor will be a general store, and the second floor will be my living space.”

“It’s as close to the academy as possible, so it doesn’t matter if there aren’t many people around… . “He’s an unusual guy. I’ll say it again, even if he’s close to the academy, business won’t be good.”

“I completely understand. ah! And it would be good if I could also obtain a merchant license.”

“Are you trying to save the store without that?”

“Isn’t it enough to just ask for anything? Would you like to do so?”

As if I had found the real estate agent well, the old man raised his glasses again, saying surprisingly coolly, “It is possible.”

“It’s possible. But really, if you open a general store, won’t you regret it? “It’s no use asking if you should have come to me later and stopped me.”

“No problem. “At least I won’t come here and make a fuss.”

There is no reason to make a fuss in the first place.

Only one SSR character.

Although he only succeeded in summoning one person, that was enough.

Now I don’t have to worry about money.

“It will take a few days. “You’ll have to do some legwork to find the property you want.”

“Specifically, how long will it take?”

Since I picked an SSR character, I tried to trade as quickly as possible.

The problem is that trading without a merchant license is a risky business.

So, I purchased a merchant’s license and tried to trade while setting up a general store, but I was embarrassed to hear that it would take longer than expected.

“It may be faster or slower than you think. “It varies depending on the circumstances.”

Looking at the relaxed look of the old man, it seemed like he wouldn’t be saved in a day or two.

In the end, in order to make the most of my free time, I had to make one choice.

‘Let’s make a deal first.’

The point was to sell unique equipment to SSR.
