Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 242

[Strengthen the small dagger (D). 10 Coins are consumed as an enhancement cost.]

Kaang!

A message popped up as the hammer collided.

Young magical powers flowed from the hammer to the dagger, and the dagger began to glow blue.

And after a while.

[You have successfully enhanced the Small Dagger (D).]

An unfamiliar message came out.

successfully reinforced. Park Si-jun glanced at the attack power of the small dagger.

[Small Dagger +1 (D)]

It is a dagger that can be used for cutting fruits.

– Attack +5 (+1)

Attack power increased by just 1.

Coin consumption is 10. Considering that the level of this dagger is very low, it is higher than expected.

Park Si-jun continued to beat the hammer.

Kaang, kang!

Once, twice, three times.

Every time the hammer hit the light exploded.

And at some point, the color of the light began to change.

From blue to red, then back to blue, then back to red.

And finally gold.

Get a card!

The last moment the hammer was struck.

The dagger shattered with a crackling sound. The blade that touched the hammer shattered into fragments.

“……Hmm.”

reinforcement was unsuccessful.

Before the dagger was broken, Park Si-jun recalled the description of the last item he saw.

[Small Dagger +8 (D)]

It is a dagger that can be used for cutting fruits.

– Attack +5 (+3)

The increase in attack power was only 3.

Park Si-joon’s face darkened. About 300 coins were consumed. There were more failures than successes.

‘Once it doesn’t break up to +8, even if it fails, only the reinforcement value goes down, that’s it.’

The only disappointment is that the attack power increase is lower than expected. But there was a reason to point it out.

‘Because the original attack was too low a weapon.’

Multiplying that number by reinforcement doesn’t make much difference. Then you have to use a good weapon.

Park Si-jun looked around.

‘It’s not like using a nameless sword.’

What would you like to write?

His hand appeared in his troubled eyes.

[King’s Gloves (S)]

These are the gloves that King Kwon once wore. It possesses the strength he had, and is surprisingly tough.

-Attack +120, Defense +85

-Kwonbeop skill power +30%

-Additional damage +20% when using Kwonbeop

– Defense skill power +30%

-All stats +10

-Available for flowering (開花)

– Wear limit: Strength 300, Dexterity 200

-Required Level: None

King’s Gloves. The higher the grade, the higher the attack power. If you strengthen it, the number will go up a lot.

The problem is that the cost and risk are high.

“Still, this must be for sure. Cat!”

– Nyaaaah!

Park Si-jun caught the cat that was about to run away.

This is the first time it has been enhanced to +8. I don’t know how high this is.

However, the reason it has been strengthened so far is probably because of the cat’s character, a symbol of good luck.

[Symbol of good luck (A): It is a spirit creature that is said to bring good fortune if you have it. From small things to big things, luck follows.]

Then, if you pour strong luck here.

– Eooh, Nyan, Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa … .

I touched the cat’s stomach.

Strong luck that is activated at the same time. Park Si-jun immediately put his gloves on the anvil and picked up the hammer.

And.

Aww!

started strengthening.

[Improves the King’s Gloves (S). 5,000 coins will be consumed as an enhancement cost.][You have successfully upgraded the King’s Gloves (S).]

Park Si-jun took a breath.

5,000 coins at a time for reinforcement. He couldn’t help but be terrified. Be patient, though, and keep hitting the hammer.

Kaang, kang!

A light bursting out of nowhere.

“Brother, what are you doing…”

Kim Baek-kyung, who was watching, was puzzled.

But for a moment, his eyes widened.

‘Gloves… … ‘

I felt the gloves on the anvil change.

He is a glove he made himself. He knows how much power he has.

Its power is amplified.

And every time the hammer is struck, with great momentum.

‘What talent have you learned this time?’

Kim Baek-kyung watched the change with his tense face.

The color of the light bursting from the anvil keeps changing. Blue and red went back and forth, and then a soft golden light came out.

“Sup, woohoo.”

Before hitting the hammer, Si-Jun Park took a breath.

Thanks to his strong luck, he climbed to +8 with comparatively fewer failures than with daggers.

The problem is next.

‘It is an unknown area.’

There was no time to think.

The duration of strong luck is not very long. But I kept worrying about what would happen if I failed.

I had no choice but to do so.

‘How much does it cost to sell this?’

If it breaks, the damage is huge. If Kim Baek-kyung is going to eat sesame seeds like this, then give it to me! will scream while

But it wasn’t even when he hesitated.

“Ha-am!”

Aww!

Park Si-joon struck the hammer with all his might.

A golden light burst out. +9. He slammed it down once more without rejoicing.

[You have successfully upgraded the King’s Gloves (S).]

+ 10. Park Si-jun exhaled a long breath.

Shall we stop here? It’s already enough. Even if this was enough, the performance of the item would have been improved enough.

But I wanted to see it up there.

“Wood, when it breaks, it breaks.”

I’m sorry for Kim Baek-kyung, but if it’s broken, she can just leave it to him and make something similar. Although the damage will be great.

Park Si-jun raised his arm high.

And.

Aww!

He lowered his gloves.

At the same time as the hammer touched, a huge explosion of golden color occurred. The momentum was completely different from the light that had only flowed out a while ago.

“What, what! Bomb?”

“Kwaaaan?!”

A commotion was heard around.

Park Si-joon was surprised as well.

The moment the hammer was struck, light exploded around the anvil.

‘Is this a success or a failure.’

Park Si-jun waited for the light to subside with a trembling heart. light that slowly fades away.

And.

“……”

result was seen.

There were no fragments of items around. It was the same on the anvil. If it is broken, there will be fragments.

That said, it was successful.

“done.”

Gloves were visible on the anvil.

Gwonwang’s gloves shining softly in golden light.

[King’s Gloves +11 (S)]

These are gloves that King Kwon once used.

It possesses the strength he had, and is surprisingly tough.

– Attack +120 (+186), Defense +85 (+131)

-Kwonbeop skill power +30% (+5%)

-Additional damage +20% (+5%) when using Kwonbeop

– Defense skill power +30% (+5%)

-All stats +10 (+10)

-Available for flowering (開花)

– Wear limit: Strength 300, Dexterity 200

-Required Level: None

An additional number was added after the number.

It was a number that was added while strengthening. Attack power is 306, defense is 216. Other percentages have also increased.

Park Si-jun laughed. He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Crazy.”

He checked the amount of coins he had.

5,000 coins at a time. However, the higher the enhancement level, the higher the coin consumption.

He automatically wondered how much he had spent.

“……”

Seeing the reduced amount of coins, Si-Jun Park could not continue his words.

The amount of coins consumed was approximately 140,000 coins.

“It’s crazy.”

He couldn’t survive without saying those words.

* * *

“Is this all?”

Park Si-jun looked at the people in front of him.

He is in his own room. Inside, Cheongseong was waiting with a large number of documents.

These were documents of people who were going to come for an interview.

“Yes, the total is 154. We have gathered all applicants in the desired field.”

“A lot. I’m not saying I’m going to pick all of them.”

“You can pick as many as you like, but…”

This position was for recruiting guild staff.

These are the people who will be in charge of the guild’s internal affairs and take charge of the business when Park Si-joon is away.

‘Are you thinking of forming a team for now?’

Gifted is not a large guild.

It’s small among small, so we don’t need many staff yet.

So, what kind of staff should you hire?

“Well…….”

First of all, the employees who will be in charge of management and accounting.

Next is video shooting and editing.

Lee Soo-young, Choi Hye-rim, and even Kim Baek-kyung run channels. I needed to support that.

‘Those who will assist in the manufacture of equipment, and staff to introduce the work to the players of the guild should also be hired.’

Park Si-jun looked at Cheongseong.

“You’re going to send your player to us?”

“Yeah, there are some subordinates who don’t fit in with what we do or what they do. They’re great for normal players.”

“Did Han Go-un allow it?”

“of course.”

There’s no reason to say no to giving them kids to use. Park Si-joon looked at the documents that Cheong-seong gave.

Two adult males and one boy who looks like a student. There were three in total.

“It’s good that they’re all men. Still, I was worried about the guild’s gender ratio these days.”

“That’s good.”

All three levels were appropriate.

It was enough to tie up with Choi Hye-rim or Lee Soo-young right away and make them work as a team.

‘Because that was the original purpose.'(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

That was the reason for the need to receive additional players.

When you are not confident, group them into a team to catch monsters or attack the rift.

“It’s only me who can work on my own, but…”

“Normal players don’t. With that in mind, we’ve selected only those who will be helpful.”

Basically, players act as a party.

There is little we can do with only Hyerim Choi and Sooyoung Lee. No matter how good the two are, there are limitations that cannot be overcome.

“Anyway, Si-ha Yoon said that we should bring in more new players.”

“I know. I’ve heard it often.”

But what if we pick more players and have only one team including Hyerim Choi and Sooyoung Lee?

There will be many more things you can do.

‘Even if Lee Soo-young wants to follow me, I need guys to support Choi Hye-rim.’

Park Si-jun nodded with satisfaction.

He read all the interview papers meticulously.

‘There is a limit to just looking at this.’

Judging from the documents, there were some who had excellent specifications, and some who were slightly lacking.

An average person would have filtered it out once with papers.

But he had no intention of doing so.

“Call everyone here.”

“……Yes?”

Chung was perplexed.

154 people. I gave you the documents with the intention of just passing through here, so you can call them all.

“Will you have time? It will take a long time.”

“I have to, anyway.”

“Um… I see.”

Cheongseong didn’t have to ask any more questions.

Convinced that he must have an idea, he said he would call back, and he left first.

‘It means that scouts don’t just show the player’s talent.’

Park Si-jun, who was left alone, put down the documents.

He shows his talents even in the ordinary people, not just players. He himself was going to hire an employee to see that talent.

‘I hope there are many people who fit the guild name.’

Park Si-jun tried to get up from his seat. I wanted to try the effect of the item that was strengthened yesterday.

But then.

woohoo!

“Tongue, brother!”

Kim Baek-kyung was frightened and entered the room. Park Si-joon frowned as she was about to smash the door.

“Hey, if the door breaks, will you fix it? Why?”

“Sin, I’m sorry. No, not that. This hammer…”

Kim Baek-kyung was holding a hammer in his hand. The hammer that Park Si-Jun used yesterday, not the one he usually used.

It was an ancient hammer.

“This is great!”

Baekkyung Kim exclaimed while showing the newly made item.

An item crafted using an ancient hammer.

“I made it in one day!”

It was something made at a speed that would normally be unimaginable.
