Min Sung glared at the Gungnir and scoffed.
"This is a game of probability and dragging on time won't help. It's all about luck."
Min Sung smirked at the Gungnir.
"And I'm lucky."
"B-but, Sir! I'm not ready yet... What if we lose it? Agh! I can't look."
Ho Sung Lee covered both of his eyes with his hands, but Min Sung's hands didn't hesitate.
Ssol's eyes widened, and Bowl also watched the Gungnir with his black eyes.
And then...
As soon as Min Sung ripped an order sheet...
Flash!
A strong blue light radiated from Gungnir.
Ho Sung Lee removed his hands from his eyes and dropped his jaw.
'+9 Gungnir' is shining blue!
Min Sung clicked his tongue at the system message.
On the other hand...
"Wow! I can't believe the Gungnir is +9 now! Omg! We did it!"
Ho Sung Lee screamed and caused a fuss.
Ssol stared at the '+9 Gungnir' that was floating in the air, and Bowl lifted both of his hands in the air and snickered while jumping up and down.
In the midst of the celebration, Min Sung grabbed the '+9 Gungnir' floating in the air.
Kaboom!
A loud impactful sound could be heard as soon as it landed in its owner's hands, and the light spread from all four directions.
"Sir, t-t-t-t-the stats. Tell me the stats."
Ho Sung Lee stuttered because he was way too excited.
Min Sung checked the stat of the +9 Gungnir and explained the contents.
[+9 Gungnir]
Rank: Superior
Attack Power (Small/Big monsters): 49/52
One-handed/Two-handed: One-handed
Option: Agility +4, Power+90, Additional hits +138
Material: Hephaestus Fragments
Room for damage: X
Level Restrictions: X
Magic: Disintegrate
As soon as Min Sung finished explaining the stats, Ho Sung Lee almost fainted.
"... That's epic. Wow, with that damage, it's still just one-handed? This is seriously the best weapon in the whole world, no the whole universe. Wow..."
Ho Sung Lee cut himself off.
"Wait. But Sir. Disintegrate? What's that?" Ho Sung Lee asked.
"Probably a magical trait, " Min Sung responded.
"No, I mean the conditions of the magic."
"It probably consumes magic power."
"No, not stuff like that. Something similar to a cool time that's needed to activate magic again."
"There's no such thing."
"..."
Silence overcame their surroundings.
"There's nothing?"
"Nope."
"What kind of cheat weapon is this... ?"
"Shut up. What about the shields?" Min Sung asked.
"As I said before, I can't do it because I'm too nervous. You do it."
Ho Sung Lee explained the prepared shielding equipment.
The remaining shields and accessories were as follows.
+7 Hades' Ring – 1
+7 Devil's Ring – 4
+7 Ryukishi Ring – 1
+7 Wisdom Ring – 1
+7 Destruction Necklace – 1
+7 Ring Belt – 1
+6 Thorn Boots – 1
+7 Mystical Armor – 1
+7 Destruction Breath Set (2 shields/ 1 helmet/ 2 gloves/ 1 gaiters)
+7 Blood and Iron Hunting Set (3 shields/ 2 protectors/ 2 armors/ 4 gloves/ 3 gaiters)
There were many more, but they weren't that important.
Following Ho Sung Lee's explanation, he looked at the shields and accessories and scratched his head.
"Sir, most of the good items are sets. If we lose even one of them, we won't see the effects of a set. It's actually a miracle that they're even at +7. So I suggest you be careful when it comes to the set items.
Ho Sung Lee grew anxious after seeing the expression on Min Sung's face
"Sir, the most effective one seems to be the Blood and Iron Hunting Set. It has great compatibility with your Gungnir, so it'd be wiser to just leave it at +7 and only level up the individual items."
Ho Sung Lee dripped in sweat out of worry that Min Sung wouldn't be careful.
"Sir, you have to be thoughtful. There's no use in leveling up to +8 if you lose the benefit of having the set."
"I know, " Min Sung said as he picked up a magic order sheet.
Ho Sung Lee shook his head.
"Sir, I'm going for a smoke. I can't watch this any longer."
Ho Sung Lee ran to the terrace. He took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth.
His heart pounded like crazy even while he smoked.
'He'll leave the set as a +7 unless he's stupid. '
'I'm sure of it. '
Ho Sung Lee smoked his cigarette while praying in his head.
'I wonder where he'll be once I finish smoking and go back inside. '
Gambling with items was the biggest gamble of all.
But since the probability of leveling up his items was quite low, it was foolish to rush through it.
However, Min Sung had to enter through the tree gate to the new dungeon.
For that reason, he had to equip himself with the best items, but the chances of winning were way too low.
'Please leave the +7 set alone. '
Ho Sung Lee put out his cigarette. He took a deep breath and entered the living room.
There were shields and accessories floating in the air.
Ho Sung Lee stared at the equipment with a blank look on his face.
The equipment that Ho Sung Lee was looking at was as follows.
+9 Hades' Ring – 1
+8 Ryukishi Ring – 1
+8 Wisdom Ring – 1
+8 Destruction Necklace – 1
Blood and Iron Hunting Set (+9 shield/ +9 helmet (1)/ +9 shield (1)/ +8 gloves (1)/ +9 gaiters (1))
Ho Sung Lee wiped his eyes with his hands.
He didn't know if this was reality or a dream.
And at that moment, Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung as if he was crazy.
"What made you think to make 8 items into +9 equipment?" Ho Sung Lee asked in annoyance.
Min Sung asked, "It just turned out that way. Should I keep going?" He then looked at the equipment in his hand with his chin.
"Please stop. You can't lose them, " Ho Sung Lee said while almost being in tears.
"But the gloves in the Hunting Set is still just a +8. It doesn't feel right."
"Don't!"
Ho Sung Lee screamed, but Min Sung was already picking up a magic order sheet.
"S-Sir. I think you've spent all your luck already. Please stop. Please! You'll lose it."
"It's more likely that I'll lose it for sure. This is a miracle, but if I need more equipment, I'll just go find more."
Min Sung's eyes lowered from the items.
"Besides... My weapons have to be the very best."
Min Sung ripped a magic order sheet for the +8 Hunting Set gloves, and an intense light burst open.
'+8 Hunting Set gloves' are shining in blue!
"Aaaaaaaaaagh!"
Ho Sung Lee screamed while plopping down on his knees with his hands held together.
"It worked, it worked! It's a +9. This is crazy. Wowwwwwww!"
Min Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee, who was screaming, and knitted his brows.
"Shut up."
"I can't help it! It's a +9 item. On top of that, it's a Hunting Set equipment!"
Ho Sung Lee screamed as he rolled on the ground like a ball.
Bowl also snickered in excitement, and Ssol flashed a smile and hugged Ho Sung Lee on the ground.
Meanwhile, Min Sung put the items into his item window.
Since the items inside the item window could get damaged with just one touch, there was no need to equip them unless necessary.
"Ho Sung, " Min Sung called while putting on his fall jacket.
"Yes, Sir, " Ho Sung Lee answered with a tired look on his face.
Min Sung sighed at Ho Sung Lee, who didn't seem to be in a good condition.
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, I was so nervous that I might have gastritis. I think I need to get some rest."
"I'm going to eat and head straight to my house where the tree is."
"If you call me before you leave from eating, I'll meet you at your house, " Ho Sung Lee said with a sick looking face.
"Which restaurant do you recommend?"
Ho Sung Lee checked the time.
It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Since many restaurants took breaks around this time, he excluded those restaurants from his list inside his head.
He thought about the possible restaurants that he could eat at and soon thought of one place.
Ho Sung Lee nodded and looked to Min Sung.
"Sausage stew it is. You're probably hungry, so it'll fill you right up."
"Text me the address."
"Yes, Sir. Enjoy your meal, " Ho Sung Lee said with a tired face and voice before bowing down to him.
Once Min Sung left with Bowl and Ssol, Ho Sung Lee plopped down on the sofa.
He then looked up at the high ceiling and mumbled to himself, "Wow... Damn it. +9 Dragon Hunting Set. Hahaha... How is that guy so lucky? What isn't he good at? This is so unfair. How could he be okay after leveling up such amazing weapons? My stomach hurts just thinking about it."
Ho Sung Lee gulped and grabbed his grumbling belly.
"Ugh, gastritis..."
Ho Sung Lee cowered up like a shrimp and breathed heavily.
Ho Sung Lee's head was already hurting, and they hadn't even left for the dungeon yet.
