This Is Not a Game Chapter 119

Earning is difficult, but spending is quick

One of the great things about this world was that there were no corpses left behind.

Just like in a game, the dead person turns into light and disappears, and all the things that person had fall in their place.

The reason this was the biggest advantage was that you could tell at a glance whether a person was really dead or pretending to be dead.

“He’s definitely dead.”

Yuseong looked at Lee Ha-eun, who was standing blankly, and the items piled up in front of her, and nodded in satisfaction.

Since it disappeared without leaving even a corpse, there would be no way for even the regressor’s grandfather to survive.

“I did as I was told. Now it’s your turn to keep your promise.”

Lee Ha-eun looked at the man and swallowed dry saliva.

Although he promised to spare Han Sang-jin if he killed him, he honestly thought that the possibility of keeping the promise was extremely low.

Nevertheless, he killed Han Sang-jin because there was no way to save his brother’s life other than betting on that extremely low possibility.

There is neither the power to enforce promises nor the cards to negotiate.

The only thing you can rely on is your opponent’s conscience.

how much time has passed

The man’s arm wrapped around his brother’s neck loosened.

“… … nu, sister.”

“Ha Jun-ah!”

Lee Ha-eun, who was preparing for the worst, looked at her freed sister with blank eyes and opened her mouth with a confused expression.

“Thank you.”

Up until now, it was awkward to thank the person who tried to kill them, took their family hostage and forced them to betray their colleagues, but Lee Ha-eun still bowed her head with the utmost sincerity.

“Take your brother and go back to the village. All the items here are mine, so don’t touch a single coin.”

Luxurious items piled up here and there.

It was a waste, but that item couldn’t be more important than life.

Lee Ha-eun, who supported her sister, left the place without even looking at the items that were away to avoid provoking the man.

Yuseong, who was looking at the siblings moving away, let out a small sigh at the sudden voice of Kim Hyun-joon.

-Thank you for listening to my request.

“What is gratitude? Later, when they come to avenge their comrades, don’t blame them for not killing them.”

-… … stand, please

Perhaps he hadn’t thought of such a possibility, but his voice clearly showed a hint of embarrassment, but the siblings had already disappeared.

“Well, that’s something you’ll take care of later, so let’s collect the items first.”

I don’t know the exact time, but since the sun was setting and it’s been quite a while, it must have been a while before midnight.

I wanted to take all the items, but I didn’t have the time or space for that, so I started to pack things that looked as expensive as possible.

“I have a lot of this and that in case someone isn’t a regressor.”

Items dropped by regressors were more than twice the number of items dropped by others, and the ratings varied considerably.

Yuseong, whistling as he saw dozens of items piled up that even high-rankers could barely afford, found something that had fallen between the mountains of items and picked it up.

“What is this?”

A small green puzzle piece.

At first glance, it looks like a useless japtem, but if it was a really useless item, the regressor wouldn’t have carried it.

<Fragment of Wind>

-Grade: B-

-Type: Material

– A piece that contains the energy of strong wind. It looks like it could be plugged in somewhere.

There are no options and the explanation is poor, but the rating covers all the shortcomings.

Cheonsu in a pure state with no equipment stored is B+ grade, but a piece the size of a finger is a whopping B- grade.

Just in case, I rummaged through the mountain of items and found three more pieces of different colors and shapes.

“It doesn’t seem to be assembled, and it seems to be inserted somewhere… … .”

The purpose was unknown, but it was impossible to throw away an item of this level.

Yooseong, who took the pieces, went around the neighborhood and randomly picked a high-grade item regardless of the type and put it into the subspace.

And when the subspace was almost full, the view changed in an instant.

A message appeared in front of Yooseong, who was embarrassed by the sudden change in the environment.

-Kim Hyeon-Jun’s achievement value was 9,264,200, and he achieved 1st place in the rankings.

– An additional 3,000,000 public value will be paid for reaching the 1st place in the rankings.

-You can purchase various items using the public value before entering the main stage.

A message in a format different from what you normally see.

After waiting for a while, a familiar message came to mind.

[You have cleared the quest ‘No matter how much you think about it, I don’t think I’m the main character’.]

[Analyzing the clearing process, please wait.]

Jaw-dropping rewards.

However, instead of admiring Yoosung, he hurriedly threw himself away.

‘Can I buy an item?’

It was a world created for a kind of tutorial, so the grade of the items obtained in this quest was generally low.

The highest grade item excluding the unknown piece was only C-grade, so I was thinking of taking only the skills, but if this happens, the story will change.

Yooseong’s eyes, which were looking around the densely displayed items such as weapons, armor, accessories, and miscellaneous goods, were suddenly fixed in one place.

Unlike other items, weapons contained in an antique display case.

There were various types, but all weapons had one thing in common: a groove that seemed to have been seen somewhere.

‘There is no time!’

As soon as he snatched the nearest item, his vision turned white.

[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]

[Ariadne’s thread tracking completed.]

[Spirit moves.]

* * *

A huge room decorated with various jewels and art objects.

Realizing that he had returned to Dragonia, Yooseong immediately took out his smartphone and checked the date.

“Yes, this is normal.”

There were slight differences, but almost the same amount of time passed as in the other world.

Yoosung, who had been secretly worried about whether he would once again get caught in the heinous time multiplier throughout the quest, let out a sigh of relief at the feeling that the stone that had been pressing his chest disappeared.

[Congratulations on clearing the quest!]

[Han Yuseong’s rating has risen from ‘professional solver’ to ‘first class solver’.]

[New products are added to the ‘Karma Shop’.]

“Haa, you finally got up.”

The grade, which had been stagnant since the quest [The Girl Who Wanted to Be Saved], has finally risen.

Although he found out that his growth rate was unimaginably fast, the fact that he had a huge gap with other users did not change, and he thought he could reduce the gap to some extent with this growth.

[Retained karma: 183,440,000]

[Product List]

-Incomplete Elemental Bow (B-): 5,000,000

-Fire Fragment (B-): 5,000,000

-Water Fragment (B-): 5,000,000

-Piece of Earth (B-): 5,000,000

-Fragment of Wind (B-): 5,000,000

-Increase muscle strength (C): 100,000

(Strength points increase by 1 each time the skill is purchased.)

(The strength that can be developed with this skill is up to 699 points.)

-… … .

-… … .

-… … .

The first thing that caught Yuseong’s eyes was the pure white palace located at the top of the product list.

Yuseong, looking at a bow half as large as a normal bow, hesitated for a moment and then pressed the purchase button.

<Incomplete Elemental Bow>

-Grade: B-

-Type: Bow

– A bow made to freely use the power of the four attributes. It is an unfinished product missing a key part, but the bow itself has considerable power.

– The tension of the bow can be adjusted by adjusting the mana.

-Can be used when using magic to put magic into arrows.

-Hit chance +30%

– Agility +100

-mana +200

It was a pretty decent bow for something with the modifier ‘imperfect’ attached.

Of course, Yooseong didn’t buy this bow to be satisfied with a fairly good bow.

Yooseong then purchased a piece of fire and inserted it into the intaglio groove that looked like a decoration.

Ugh!

The pure white bow instantly turned red as paint spreads through the water.

The bow, which was dyed in a different color each time a piece was inserted, returned to its original pure white bow as the four colors mixed together when all the pieces were inserted.

<Elemental Bow>

-Grade: A-

-Type: Bow

– A bow that can freely use the power of four attributes. You can bring out the power of the four major attributes, fire and water, and put it into an arrow, and through the harmony of the four energies, you can draw the power of the fifth attribute, ether.

– The tension of the bow can be adjusted by adjusting the mana.

-Can be used when using magic to put magic into arrows.

– Possible to create an intangible poem made of pure energy.

– Can be created five times a day, when the attribute contains the power of the extreme attribute.

-Hit chance +60%

-Strength +200

– Agility +300

-mana +300

“Thank you. that… … Anyway, I’ll write well.”

Yuseong, who was trying to thank the regressor for giving him an unexpected gift, put on a shy expression when he belatedly remembered that he didn’t even know the name of the regressor.

My body was itching to shoot this beautiful bow right away, but there was still work to be done.

“My God, 100,000 points for one stat increase?”

Since the right to increase the ability of E grade was 1,000 points and the right to increase the ability of D grade was 10,000 points, the price jumped exactly 10 times every time the grade went up.

Except for Wisdom and Spirit, which are steadily growing thanks to forbidden knowledge, the remaining stats are 299 points.

To raise it to 699 points, 40 million points are consumed for each stat, and the stats to be raised are 6 in total, including the newly acquired spiritual power.

The remaining karma is a little less than 160 million points.

It is an amount that can raise three stats to the limit and raise one more stat.

‘For strength, you don’t have to raise it right away because you have Tyrant’s arms, and for agility, you can cover it to some extent with the Sura sense… … .’

Yoosung, who had been thinking for a while, raised his three stats to 699 points, including inner strength, magic power, and spiritual power, and raised his physical strength to a certain extent, then bought several skills, including archery, with the remaining points.

“… … Earning is difficult, but spending is quick.”

Yooseong, who was looking at the karma point that was exposed in less than 5 minutes, sighed and closed the karma store.
