Just as the circle has a training room for students who want to train their bodies, it also has a workshop for students who want to hone their skills.

And one of those workshops.

“Ah, I’m tired.”

Do Yu-jin lay sprawled on the floor there, eating donuts and watching the numerous flasks containing various colored solutions bubbling and spewing out smoke.

All kinds of debris from the experiment were strewn around him like trash.

“I kind of expected it, but I really used it all up.”

Do Yu-jin muttered as she fiddled with the crumbs of ingredients that had lost all their sweetness, like shaved ice from which all the sweetness had been sucked out.

In the process of blowing up the Cheongdo branch of the Black Dragon Society, Do Yu-jin took all the guns, currency, magic stones, and numerous alchemy materials that were there, putting them in a subspace bag.

And among them, the gun and the subspace bag were all used up while catching Monica.

Well, I guess it would be more accurate to say I lost it, but anyway.

Phew-

‘With this, I’ve used up all the magic stones and elixir ingredients.’

Toouk-

Do Yu-jin muttered softly and lightly touched the two bottles next to her with her fingers.

‘I’ve gone through all that trouble, pouring out all those ingredients just to fill these two small bottles… ‘

I felt a bit wronged, but decided to move on.

Putting the magic stone aside, it was impossible to keep the alchemy materials in the room, since the subspace bag was torn and damaged anyway, and it was difficult to store them properly.

It was the right choice to use it all up before it got damaged.

There… …

[Technical Talent]

-Lowest Alchemy LV. 3

-Summoning LV. 1

[The Alchemist Who Dreams of the Ideal]

▶Rating – 5 stars

▶Description – Blessings to you who always looks up and explores alchemy.

▶Effect – When performing alchemy above the level, the success rate increases, and when performing alchemy below the level, the great success rate increases.

It’s not like there was nothing extra gained in the process of making these.

“Okay, so now that we’ve roughly finished the pre-work… … ”

Do Yu-jin stood up from her seat, taking with her a bottle filled with black liquid and a bottle filled with black pills.

“Shall we go and practice the summoning technique that we couldn’t do in class today?”

With that determination, Do Yu-jin quietly took a step forward.

Pongdang-

I fell into the shadows, hearing a small sound that I couldn’t tell if it was real or just my imagination.

“I have a feeling I’ll be coming here quite often.”

Do Yu-jin glanced around and slightly relaxed at the feeling of something comfortably wrapping around her body.

After relaxing his stiff body from practicing alchemy for a while, Do Yu-jin quietly changed his trait while recalling the purpose of his coming here.

Click-

[Walker of the Transparent World (5★)] and [Alchemist Who Dreams of Ideals (5★)], two traits that were set solely for alchemy, have been changed to [Ghost in Shadow Cloth (5★)] and [Shadow Summoner (5★)].

For reference, [Shadow Summoner (5★)] was a new trait that was created by taking the traits obtained by defeating Monica, creating [Alchemist Dreaming of Ideals (5★)], and then taking the remaining traits and putting them all into the traits obtained by listening to Muung’s lecture.

‘I guess it’s because I caught Monica and used the traits I gained, so it ended up with a strange modifier… … Well, it doesn’t matter because it has no performance issues.’

Do Yu-jin checked her cards one last time and then pressed [Hatred of the Palace (7★)] onto her face.

In addition, [Weihoubuyik (爲虎傅翼)] is activated immediately.

Hooo-

Do Yu-jin exhaled deeply as she felt the two characteristics that were interlocking like cogwheels inside her growing in size.

‘Well, even if I do this, [The One Who Walks Through the Transparent World (5★)] won’t be there, so it’ll be impossible to go one step deeper from here.’

But there was no problem.

Unlike last time, this time I was able to achieve my goal here as well.

Dalgrak-

Do Yu-jin learned the basics of summoning magic through Mu-woong’s class today.

But, ironically, Do Yu-jin already had a rough idea of summoning techniques before taking the class.

“No, maybe I know more about summoning than that guy, Muung?”

Do Yu-jin opened the bottle containing the black pills while thinking about that.

Is it because it sparkles?

It looked more like a gemstone similar to obsidian than a pill.

Gulp-!

Do Yu-jin took out a few of the brightest ones and put them in her mouth without hesitation.

Swish-

‘The doping effect is clear.’

Do Yu-jin felt the darkness surrounding her body clinging to her skin even more stickily, and she recalled memories from the past in her head.

Previously, Do Yu-jin had helped with an experiment of a player she found in the community because she found it interesting.

By the way, he used the nickname ‘Where is the Queen’, and as his name suggests, he started the game with only one thought in mind: to create a succubus harem.

He was a crazy, obsessive pervert who believed that the hint to fulfilling his wish lay in the magic of summoning, and he delved into it to the point where he could write a thesis on it.

However, he eventually encountered a wall, and in order to break down that wall, he decided to release all of his research records to the community.

He wanted to get hints from the collective intelligence to break down the wall blocking his path.

And Do Yu-jin was interested in his actions and decided to help him.

‘A lot of things happened after that… … but when you look at the conclusion, the plan to create a succubus harem ended in failure.’

Whether frustrated by her inability to get over the wall or looking for another way, “Where’s My Queen” has not been seen since that day.

However, the records left behind by him, Do Yu-jin, and other colleagues have become a great legacy for players who use the summoning meta.

‘And among those legacies was written the method for optimal summoning.’

Do Yu-jin spoke as she recalled a musty memory from the past that smelled like dust.

“One, create a character with only one talent maxed out on Hell difficulty.”

The reason for these conditions is that the talent of the summoner can be either a plus or a minus when it comes to summoning.

It may sound counterintuitive at first, but the gist of it is simple.

If the caster has a talent for fire, would they try to summon creatures related to water or wood?

Absolutely not.

So what if a sorcerer has the talents of both fire and water?

The two talents will collide, and only a bunch of summons will flock together.

That is, an absurd situation occurs where, despite having talent, that talent is hindered.

‘That guy expressed it this way: if you want to reach the extreme, you have to become pure.’

By the way, after hearing that, Do Yu-jin responded by telling him to read comics in moderation.

Anyway, if I were to explain his words in terms of the game system, I could express it like this.

‘Only one talent will be raised to the highest level, while all other talents will remain at rock bottom.’

Ps …

‘That’s crazy. It’s like telling me to ruin the character from the start.’

It was an idea that could not be conceived or executed by anyone who was not interested in clearing games and only in having a succubus harem.

“Two, create a summoning circle using the highest grade materials that match the attribute talents you’ve raised.”

What’s important here is not the summoning circle, but the materials used to make the summoning circle.

One of the players who helped with ‘Where’s the Queen’ described the act of drawing a special summoning circle as an act that limits the possibilities.

‘That’s right.’

Calling out a special summoner by specifying a summoning circle means, in other words, specifying the possibility of summoning only in that direction.

That’s why he stuck to the basic summoning circle form and turned his attention to materials, especially top-quality materials.

‘I have to gather so many top-grade materials that I can draw a summoning circle with a newly created character.’

This was also an absurd condition.

How would a newly created character obtain such high-quality materials?

“Set, the summoning ritual will be performed in a space filled only with the same attributes as the protruding talent.”

The last condition, there was one contradiction in this condition.

Nature is like a soup that is made by boiling various ingredients.

Because all kinds of properties are smoothly mixed, permeated and connected.

That is why it is virtually impossible for a space in this world to exist with only one attribute.

Even the players who came up with the hypothesis because they had to overcome so many impossible obstacles ended up writing about it by saying that it was just their imagination and that it had absolutely no possibility of being put into practice.

However, as if he still had some lingering regret, he reappeared later and said that if all of these conditions could be met, he would definitely produce something amazing, even if he didn’t know who it would be.

Many people laughed at him.

Ps …

Do Yu-jin agreed with his words.

‘What should I say, my heart is pounding for no reason.’

It wasn’t a crowd.

Woohoo-!

Because it was finally an opportunity to satisfy one of the curiosities I had about a game I had been playing with interest for a long time.
