Episode 26. Status Enhancement Skills

Finally, the first settlement in the Titan raid was made.

The income from the hunting he went to practice, and the remuneration for bringing the Wyvern eggs while supporting the Cheongun Manma raid was paid.

Jung Daesik, who had already made a savory income of 5 billion won from hunting alone there, did not have high expectations.

At that time, the situation was not good for various reasons, and as the purpose was the Wyvern’s eggs, he did not hunt much.

He also didn’t think it would be such a huge sum, as he had to share his income with the rest of the crew.

As expected, the amount paid for at that time was 2.856 billion won.

But the settlement did not end there.

The money for selling the Magic Stones obtained after defeating the Cyclopes the other day had already been paid.

It was probably a magic stone, so it didn’t take that long to get emotional.

The amount is 30 billion won.

After all, 5,856 million won was put into Jung Daesik’s account.

‘The sum of the 6 billion won paid by Byeonjangsu the other day, the 300 million won from the daily salary, and the remaining balance… About 12.9 billion won in total!’

For such an amount, it seemed that it would not be a problem to pay sage.

In the past, the price of the store had risen a lot, so it was not possible to do it in a hurry.

Jung Daesik checked his balance and said, rubbing his hands.

“Entropy.”

Entropy in the shape of a teddy bear immediately appeared.

Jung Daesik smiled cheerfully when he saw the entropy in an excited mood.

“I guess I have enough money to do some sage now?”

Jung Daesik opened his axe’s eyes when he saw the entropy of answering meekly.

“You really think so?”

“Status points are a bit expensive.”

In the case of status points that increase the amount each time you make a purchase, the price has skyrocketed.

The more you buy status points, the more the price goes up, so it was hard to keep up with the pace no matter how much money you made.

This did not mean that there was no way to improve the condition.

As entropy pointed out earlier, the state refers to Jung Daesik’s physical state.

It means that you can improve it in the form of training even if you don’t practice sage.

And in fact, all the other awakened people who did not have sensible abilities like Jung Daesik were training themselves through hard work.

‘Yeah, it’s been comfortable. But, you can’t keep raising the status point price and continuing to play. However, training the body indiscriminately is inefficient. So we have to find a third way.’

Jung Daesik organized his thoughts and asked entropy.

“Among the skills I can purchase, are there any skills that can improve my condition?”

Entropy immediately answered Jung Daesik’s question.

“Who asks because they don’t know that? I mean… I mean, there’s no such thing as a skill that helps when you’re practicing.”

“Then you mean if you upgrade the shop?”

“Yes, your knowledge level is limited to the store level, right?”

“I can’t help it.”

The current shop level is 4.

Each time the shop upgrades, the money jumps tenfold.

That’s a really great price.

Therefore, to upgrade the shop this time, a whopping 10 billion won was required.

This meant that Jung Daesik had to give up almost all of his assets.

‘After upgrading the shop, there’s not much you can do with the money left over. You may be able to purchase a new skill, but for that skill to function properly, you also need to upgrade its level. So, at most, you can only acquire one or two skills.’

Jung Daesik was worried.

‘In that case, wouldn’t it be better to upgrade the skills you currently have? No, didn’t you realize it already when you defeated the Cyclopes? Even if I only upgrade my skills, it is of no use if my condition does not support me. What I need now is not a new skill, but an improvement in status.’

Jung Daesik bit his lip.

‘I can’t help it. After all, upgrading the shop is something you have to do someday. Postponing the upgrade doesn’t mean the shop price will drop. It’s a waste to spend 10 billion at once, but I’m going to get rid of it now.’

He hardened his heart and said.

“I’ll upgrade the shop.”

Entropy reacted immediately.

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling light burst out of Entropy’s body.

Jung Daesik also felt his body heat up.

“Wow! What is this?”

He screamed in surprise.

So far, there have been minor changes every time the shop is upgraded, but it’s not as surprising as it is now.

At most, how much does the appearance of entropy change?

But this time the change was dramatic.

It felt like my temples were about to burst as my face heated up.

Jung Daesik grabbed his head and rolled over on the floor, feeling like a thunderbolt in his head for an instant.

“Ugh!”

A certain shock that could be called pain passed in an instant.

Jung Daesik came to his senses quickly and soon felt his nose bleeding.

“What kind of nosebleed…?”

When he got up from his seat holding his nose, entropy, which had a different appearance than before, was floating in the air.

“Huh? You?”

Jung Daesik, startled, wiped his nose and looked at entropy.

It wasn’t that he was surprised by what he said.

No, should he say she?

“Why do you look like that?”

At Jung Daesik’s bewildered question, Entropy spoke.

“No, I know that… Doesn’t that look a bit out of place with your character?”

At the words of Jung Daesik, entropy looked down at me again.

Needless to say, entropy had changed into the form of a girl about three or four years old.

Strictly speaking, it was hard to say that she was like a fully human girl.

She was an elaborate imitation of a human figure, like a ball-jointed doll.

Jung Daesik asked out of curiosity.

“You, the more you upgrade the shop, the closer you are to a human?”

Entropy raised his head and said.

“What? Did I do it because I wanted to?”

“Really?”

Jung Daesik is awesome! Strange, thinking, scratching the back of the head.

He thought he wanted gold nuggets, didn’t he?

Speaking of unconsciousness, without realizing it, I thought of a beautiful woman with a shabby figure.

For some reason, that beauty had the face of Choi Hee.

It is a delusion stemming from the instincts of men.

Surprisingly, however, entropy immediately answered.

“Huh? Did you read my thoughts now?”

“What? Bad?”

Jung Daesik changed his mind when he tried to tell him to do it right away.

“Wait a minute. So can I read your thoughts?”

“Anyway, does that mean I can look into your head?”

“Uh, then…”

Jung Daesik was fiddling with his chin before he asked.

“Can you hide and show and do what I tell you?”

“Then how far can you get away from me?”

“Let’s try it. You, go as far as you can while hiding.”

Entropy immediately floated into the air and disappeared suddenly.

However, Jung Daesik could feel the presence of entropy in a corner of his consciousness.

It felt as if Kim Si-on’s command mode was activated.

As a result, I felt the presence of entropy getting farther and farther away.

“Where are you now?”

“Okay, link.”

As soon as the words of entropy fell, the scene that entropy was seeing came to mind.

Jung Daesik marveled at the clarity that can’t be described by Moorish.

‘This is great! It feels like an extra pair of eyes, right? Is it different from Kim Si-on’s command mode?’

Kim Si-on’s command mode was able to share consciousness with the other crew members, but I couldn’t see the opponent’s field of vision as clearly as I could see with my own eyes.

Sharing was only possible if the other party consciously packed certain information into a file and sent it.

But with Entropy, he completely shared the view he was looking at.

It didn’t mean that Jung Daesik’s vision was blocked, but it felt as if another window of vision had been created in his head.

Anyway, it was definitely an amazing feature.
