Others anxiously looked at the brave man who swore at God to see if he will be punished by heaven, but rather he opened a new message window as if God didn’t care about it.
[The store is activated in the waiting room]
And suddenly a lot of vending machines appeared in front of us like mirage.
The appearance of each one was not much different from that of the Earth’s vending machine, but there was image of the product, which is embodied in three dimensions like a hologram, caught our eyes.
[Earth]
[Mu]
[Common]
[Exchange, Repair]
There are four categories.
Within each category, five to six vending machines are placed by item (weapons, armor, consumables, skills, etc.).
Four categories were set up in one set and repeatedly, with hundreds, if not, thousands, of vending machines were placed till the end of the our view.
Most people just kicked the floor nervously, and showed no interest in vending machines that appeared out of nowhere.
But no matter how angry I was, I felt I had to look at the new system, and some people moved together with me.
[Converting points]
[Jihoon’s Point: 9,010]
When I look at people also looking at the empty space, I realized that the contents of the message are only visible to the person concerned.
I touched without hesitation and the history appeared before me.
– Highest level quest completed 1,500 X 1
-Intermediate quest completed 500 X 6
-Lower quest complete 100 X 6
-Lowest quest complete 50 X 2
-1st Circle achieved 100
-2nd Circle achieved 200
-3rd Circle Achieved 400
-Aura user achieved 200
-Aura Expert Beginning level Achievement 400
– Reputation 840
-Other 5,000
Exceptionally high reputation bonuses and other bonuses were not accurately detailed, but they are roughly estimated.
Reputation will literally be a known name value to the public, and the other bonus happened when I meet certain conditions or they were given whenever God wants to.
I don’t think anyone has as much point as me.
I think people who became Aura Expert will barely exceed 1,000 points.
I glanced at the person next to me who was looking towards the vending machine.
The hologram disappeared the moment people exchange their points in the vending machine, and it seems to have a function to protect personal information.
So when some people, including myself, looked carefully at the vending machine, the other Drivers, who sighed and got up from their seats, approached the vending machine.
These are the people who I tried to kill, but I feel a little at ease perhaps we were at the same situation.
Well, that doesn’t mean I’m going to take special care of them.
[These are the items available on Earth.]
[These are the supplies available in the Mu continent.]
[Supplies and skills available for public use on Earth and Mu]
[Products can be resold to thevending machines]
[Repair, and customization of the product are possible.]
All the vending machine categories had their uses written on them.
Among them, it was interesting to be able to purchase items that could be used for public use in Earth and the Mu continent, but unlike items that can only be used in one world, the exchange and necessary points were different.
For example, looking at the most basic steel longsword, If Earth and Mu continent alike needed 100 points, the most basic form of longsword among public products had the name “Arontaker.”
The price was 4,500 points.
Common equipment was both portable and durable and had more than one characteristic or skill.
There’s no rating on the items, but if I look at it as a game, I can say that it’s a collection of things that are more than rare.
Seeing the prices, made all the people here gasped.
Compared to others, I can afford points, so I can buy this and that, but there are so many kinds that made my eyes dizzy.
Then, my attention was drawn to one item.
[Rise’s Subspace]
I suddenly thought this when I saw it as a common item.
‘Maybe if I buy subspace available on both sides, I can trade openly?’
However, as if God does not want such usage, he has attached a claim to the description of the items that have emerged like holograms.
[Things from other worlds are prohibited for personal use. A ban on trade between the world, a ban on arms distribution, etc.]
I expressed a small regret.
If I wanted to make money using the knowledge of the Earth, i have no choice but to produce localized products.
Although it will beonly be slightly useful, I thought it would be better to buy proper weapons or skills because it costs 6,500 points.
“Well….”
I’m not the only one who’s worried.
All the other attendants around me also put held their chin and wondered how to use their points.
[Elixir]
[A gift from the goddess of benevolence.
If you drink it, you’ll recover from any serious injuries and curses.
Common, a consumption item once
1,000 points]
I don’t know about the others, but I think it’s better to have one of this.
I bought a recovery item that has the form of red jewelry among the common items.
Then the red energy from the vending machine permeated me and a message popped up.
[Elixir has been registered as a one-time use skill]
Usually, Elixir reminds me of the form of potions, but it was amazing that they were stored in the form of disposable skills.
Of course, it cannot be written off as a common item unless it given this way.
The remaining points I have after my purchased the first item is 8,010.
I still have the accumulated 3 skill points.
I thought it would be good to get powerful skills.
There was a weapon that caught my eye.
[Increstinger / Summoned Common Weapon]
-Dark E.L.F.’s chief, Caltar’s favorite ‘Spear Staff’.
There was an added the magic staff effect to the spear.
The spear blade is made of Myrthil and the spearstick is made of the scale of the Basilisk, and it has excellent elasticity and strength.
In itself, it is not insufficient to call it best spear, but with a Magic staff integrated, it became immediately the best.
-spear blade 60 cm, spear stick 140 cm. Weight 2.5 kg
-40% more magic explosion, 20% Aura explosion, can self-repair
-8,000 points
What a perfect weapon for me.
If I buy it, I will continue to use it.
However, this spear eliminates any additional purchases.
There are also other five skills that I like.
[Invisibility]
-500 points
[Face change]
-500 points
[The Dark Elf’s Battle Chant]
-2,000 points
[Genoside]
-2,000 points
[Amplification]
-3,000
Invisibility and Face Change are intended to be purchased for my iwn personal use, while the rest are purely skills considered to increased my combat power.
“Dark Elf’s Battle Chant” is a passive skill that will boost combat skills, and “Genoside” is a wide-area skill that explodes Mana in a range of 3 meters.
The last ‘amplification’ is a prefix active skill that increases power by 50% when using skills or magic.
If I will only buy skills, I can buy all five things at 8,010 points, but if you buy a spear, that’s it.
Looking at other items, I thought I’d buy two regular Myrthil spear (Earth 1, Mu ) with skills mixed, but that would be a compromise.
“Well….”
I don’t usually like sentimental reviews, but should I say I fell in love at first glance on the skill?
As soon as I saw the weapon, I strongly thought, ‘This is mine.’
Unlike the amplification that needs to be combined with the skill in one time, the amplification effect of the weapon is a fixed passive characteristic as I use it, and the Genoside skill will be able to be covered to some extent with enhanced magic.
The most valuable skill is obviously the Invisibility skill.
Since the Invisibility skill is the most necessary when to fight a human being, but currently i don’t think I need to get my hands on these skills as I would usually hunt monsters.
‘In fact, no matter how much reason I give, it’s all about self-reasoning when to buy weapons.’
I smirked and touched the vending machine’s buying icon.
When I confirmed the purchase, the red energy permeated me again.
In addition, I felt the presence of a weapon that I didn’t have, and it was engraved in my head as if the method of summoning was imprinted.
There are many eyes here, so I’ll check in a quiet place later.
“You know the one who brought us to Balter?”
But it was then.
The warrior, who uttered a curse word into the sky, asked to the whole audience.
However, it wasn’t just me who looked suspicious because everyone else was covering their faces to protect themselves.
Did he say that he’s the criminal?
It’s just a waste of time.
“Is that important now? We could buy this because of him.”
A model-like woman in a gray mask stood up for me in the face of the menancinh man.
They seem to think that the invisible threat passed by me and led to this situation.
However, the man, who covered his face with a robe and iron armor, politely argued back.
“But isn’t it too suspicious. As I checked with the Information Guild two days ago, there were 49 people who received the invitation. But there are only 31 people here. The other 18 were killed to achieve their goals.”
There are 16 killed, to be exact.
The atmosphere subsided coldly at his words.
“You’re crazy.”
“I had no choice but to go so far to live. Anyway, I will still have to support him.”
Even if the man didn’t like his method, there still who sided with him.
If I look at public opinion roughly, it was divided into factions that killing people should be impossible, and the other sided that it was inevitable to kill others in order to live.
Whether I revealed myself or not, I watched the situation quietly as if I was eating popcorn.
“You didn’t even know if what he said was true or not in the first place.”
“Don’t you know what’s going on?”
The women and men argued with each other fiercely, and the noise around them quickly became like the market floor.
I don’t know the nationality of the people here, but their conversation was correctly put in his head with the Mu continent standard language.
“Have you learned anything about him through the Information Guild?”
The robe-clad man shook his head when asked by someone from the back.
“He is protecting his information. The amount that he has paid to protect his information is 8 platinum coins. In order to access the information, we have to pay 12 platinum coins, plus 50 percent.”
“What 12 platinum coins?”
“What about using intelligence guilds from other countries? I heard that each information guilds are independent by country.”
“It didn’t work. We’ve all inquired the other Information guild, but it was always the same. It means that there are about 100 platinum coins he has spent for each country.”
For a moment, the surrounding area became as quiet.
“But this is also a hint. It means that the one who invited has accumulated tremendous wealth in the whole Mu continent.”
“Yes, but how can you afford that kind of money? I never collected more than two platinum coins.”
“That’s the minimum amount to buy an information. I’m sure he has amassed a real estate. It’s possible he is using the knowledge from Earth.”
“I couldn’t try it because I couldn’t afford it, but I’ve thought about it once.”
Even if many people put their heads together, the investigation network didn’t narrowned back to myself
But I wasn’t too worried.
Anyway, the widened gap will get bigger and bigger.
In addition, this kind of approach is already expected.
Unless death here is permanent, there is no need to be violent.
Maybe even if death is permanent, I’ll do it if it is necessary.
Having a good relationship with them is also anither way.
But I felt I did more harm than good.
“We should thank them.”
The same woman was still supporting me till the end.
“She has no pride!”
“Pride and being ingratitude are different things. You stupid bastard!”
I am just a human, so I can’t help myself but continue liking her.
[Waiting room time will be over in 5 minutes.]
[Please note that you will return to Earth as soon as the time using the waiting room is finished.]
The message came at the right time.
“Oh, my.”
“I haven’t bought anything yet!”
Some people were now in an awkward position and ran toward the vending machine. Soon the investigation towards me naturally ended.
Even the big man ‘Tsk’ his tongue as he couldn’t help it happening.
And a little later.
[Time to use the waiting room is over]
[It will shut down immediately, and you will wake up in your each town’s safe zone on your next reconnection.]
Did the system feel sorry for us?
I felt like my body was floating at the fairly friendly message.
I then became distraught and opened my eyes on Earth.
The same neat marble walls and the white ceilings.
The grass smell of the garden from the slightly open window adds freshness to the air.
Although the noise of the spinning air purifier broke the mood, the earth was still better than the Mu continent.
I feel relieved to be here.
It may be invisible, but I could feel the presence of weapons I purchased with 8,000 points back in the waiting room.
I stared at my ceiling before summoning the weapon.
