104. Reinforcement is a gamble (1)

kaang!!!!!

A sound that sounds exceptionally clear.

“Success? Please Success. Success Success Success Success!!!!!!!”

“more?”

“Kyaaak! More more more more more! One more time!!”

Cang!!!!!!

However, this sound will never sound happy to someone.

“Have you been successful?”

“Failed. Quarterfinals.”

“Turn it off!!!!”

Ariando twists her whole body.

I wondered if I could make this rich girl suffer so much.

“Why don’t you stop now? Do you know how many hours it has already been? You haven’t eaten and been doing this.”

The special parts he brought as sales proceeds were incredibly expensive.

The sales amount alone was a whopping 300 million.

You don’t know how surprised I was.

When I charged an additional 300 million won, they gave me an achievement saying that I had pierced 500 million won.

When we reached 200 million billings, we gave an update, but contrary to expectations, we did not give anything good to achieve 500 million billings.

‘It’s hard to click.’

In fact, I wondered if it was worth spending this much money on reinforcement.

Unexpectedly, maybe Ariando was lucky, and he reached the ninth round without difficulty.

‘What if you listened to my advice and ended up in the ninth round? What if I had to stop at the top 10?’

Even if I hadn’t had a strange obsession with the round of 12, Ganghwa would have ended a long time ago.

However, Ariando shouted GO without asking or arguing, befitting the daughter of a family that never ran out of money.

Unconditional round of 12.

And the result was the current quarterfinals.

No matter how much money they have, they are going crazy because reinforcements do not succeed.

“Why!!! Why can’t I!! Why can’t I!!”

Ariando’s gloomy cry made me gloomy too.

In the beginning, wow! My hand slipped! I teased him while doing it, but as I poured more and more things into it, I couldn’t even say that kind of thing.

“Cheer up, dude. I’ve built up all my stats. To be honest, I think the round of 12 is a bit overkill, let’s compromise with the round of 11. I’ve been to the round of 10 many times, so it’s worth a try, right?”

“No!!! It’s meaningless if it’s not the round of 12!”

“It’s not time. It’s already too late? Are you not going to the dormitory?”

Seeing that he didn’t answer, I guess he really didn’t listen.

You wouldn’t even see the strengthening effect in front of him, so I couldn’t understand why he was so obsessed with the round of 12.

“Is there any reason why it shouldn’t be in the round of 12?”

“No noble wants to write something that isn’t perfect. That’s natural.”

I automatically shut my mouth at the sincere answer I had never felt from Ariando.

Is it the pride of the nobility?

I never thought I would come out with all my heart in the round of 12 like this.

They don’t seem to know the word cost-effectiveness.

“Okay, then let’s run all night until the round of 12. When we thought money was infinite, the only thing we needed to get to the round of 12 was time.”

“Really please Round of 12!! Round of 12!!! For what you’ve worked hard for today, I’ll get you another one similar to what you paid for. So please attach it!”

That’s not what I want to do…

“Is it okay for you to spend your family’s money like this? Shouldn’t you have to buy it after buying it the other day?”

“It’s okay! My dad is dying these days because of the boss’s business the other day.”

“aha?”

When I asked why he was so confident, it seemed that he was sucking honey by using me.

Ariando said he was willing to pay for the reinforcement, so I couldn’t be more passive.

It seemed that the time had come to stop covering the means and methods.

“Then, let’s stop here.”

“Eh?! You said let’s run all night long ago!”

“If you’re going to run all night, you have to do it in the right place. I’m not swearing at my shop, but if you do important things anywhere, you’ll get cheated on.”

Just as there are good places to draw, there are good places in Ganghwa Island, and there are NPCs who can assign them well.

I was playing the role of an NPC here, so it was very easy to move from place to place.

“???”

Ariando questioned my words because he didn’t know the meaning of the perfect spot.

“If you’re not sure, just follow me. This is something that can’t be done without faith, so don’t doubt it too much.”

How to make a miracle come down from the sky only when you have perfect faith.

I started walking down the street with Ariando.

“There are two ways. One is to reinforce it when you find a place that you are strangely attached to, and the other way is to strengthen it in a place like a famous place in this city. Usually places with meaning are special.”

“Does the probability go up if I move the place?”

“No, there is no such thing.”

“????”

Since he is still a beginner, he decided to understand Ariando’s bewildered expression.

“You’ll understand when you do it a lot. This isn’t just about strengthening it blindly. It’s that these kinds of sincerity come together to create results.”

So, I gave Ariando the choice of location, and she thought for a long time before choosing one of the city’s attractions.

“The zelkova tree here has been around for a long time. There is a legend that if a lover who just started dating here goes on a date, they can live happily ever after.”

It was under a large zelkova tree with a legend that academy students would love.

“There was a place like this.”

I thought I’d been to all of the academy cities, but it seems I wasn’t.

“Okay, then let’s do it.”

I decided to start strengthening again.

I’m not a blacksmith, but I’m proud of my ability to press the strengthening button.

‘I have to do it because I want it like that.’

12 River.

Let’s try it once.

aaa!!!!!!

Reinforcement started again.

“failure.”

And it became the 7th.

kaang!! kaaang!!!!! aaa!!!!!!!!!!

How many clicks did you press the hammer?

“Don’t give up!!”

Those who take on challenges are beautiful, but it took a lot of time to bear fruit.

Ganghwa, which started again under the zelkova tree, succeeded in reaching the round of 11, but failed in the round of 12.

Both of us were mentally out at this time, so we took a break for a while.

“Ha, one more time. Just one more time.”

Ariando, staring at me, said while holding my collar tightly.

Seeing that, I nodded as if I still had some strength left.

After the failure, he gets up and starts climbing again for the round of 12 challenge.

Caang!!!

Round 4 → Round 5

Caang!!!

Round 5 → Round 4

kaaang!!!!

Round 4 → Round 5

Round 5→Rout 6

“Ahh…”

Numbers come and go.

While walking in place, I couldn’t even get up from 6.

‘Is this the reinforcement probability right?!’

Round of 6 → Round of 5

Round 5 → Round 4

Round 4 → Round 5

The repetition of the section to the extent that it is doubtful that someone manipulated the probability.

It was about to get angry.

“Is it the 5th again?”

“Huh, I’m going to focus again. This time I feel good. I’m going to the 11th round without breathing.”

Caang! Round 6…

Caang!!! 7 River…!

finally broke through

kaaang!!!! Round 8…

The sound of hammer hitting is clear.

Caang!!! River 9…

Kaaang! Top 10!

“Ohhhhh!!!!”

“Feels good. Keep going!”

aaang!

Round 11!!!

It was the moment when I finally recovered the round of 11 and tried to challenge myself to the round of 12.

“I’m going straight to the round of 12!”

“Now, now, go to sleep!!!”

The moment I was about to challenge the round of 12!

Ariando urgently stopped me.

“Next time!! I’ll do it next time. Something’s not right now!

It seems that the shock of going back and forth in the 4th and 5th rounds after falling down once in the round of 11 was not easily recovered.

“You’re going to stop? Are you okay?”

It happened that the time was 4:44 in the morning.

It was an excuse that worked for people in this world who regarded the number 4 as ominous.

“Yes, I want to stop. Let’s do it this far. If it doesn’t work this time, we’ll have to do it for another few hours. The sun will rise soon, so I think it’s right to stop.”

I gladly respected Ariando’s choice.

He handed Ariando the weapon from Lesson 11, and as if that alone made him feel better, he smiled and hugged his unique equipment.

“Are you satisfied?”

“I’m not satisfied yet! I’ll challenge the round of 12 later.”

It was scary to challenge for the round of 12 right away, but it seemed like it would hurt my pride to say no.

‘I can’t say I’ve tasted the bitterness of Ganghwa at this level.’

The reason Ariando is a fraud is that it is such a great house that even if money goes out, there is no inspiration.

Originally, it is really strengthening when you feel the chewy taste that comes from the tightness of the money.

‘He just didn’t make it to the round of 12, so he was messing around with that.’

Every time it was strengthened, it had to be applied to prevent destruction and increase the probability of success, so even if it was roughly worth it, the price of over 40,000 won per click was an easy reinforcement.

I clicked it hundreds of times, and a few thousand money was ridiculously broken.

As the number of enhancements increased, the amount of red crystals required for enhancement attempts also increased, making it one of the rather large expenditures.

‘But it’s not shocking that I spent that money, but I’m shocked that it didn’t go up… It’s amazing in many ways.’

This time Ariando had a taste of Ganghwa, so it didn’t seem like he would visit for a while.

It wasn’t because of the billing, but because I learned that the emotional consumption that goes into strengthening is no joke.

‘You look tired. Still, if you use the unique equipment that has been strengthened to 11, you might not forget the taste and come back.’

Didn’t they say that it was meaningless if it wasn’t the 12th?

After taking Ariando to the front of the academy, I went back to the general store, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

I’m dying of tiredness from clicking all night.

I knew it would be time to open the general store soon, but I decided to take a day off on my own.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

The academy students gathered together to check the words of the dean posted in the hallway, then whispered.

boom boom ㅡ

“What, what’s the mood like?”

“Have you heard? Look at that over there.”

“What’s the news… Huh?”

“I’m going to be completely banned from going out for the time being.”

“What, why?”

“There it is. Read it.”

The present exam is approaching.

The academy immediately issued a ban on going out.

All the students were embarrassed because there had never been a ban on going out.

“An academy student gone missing? Does this make sense? Who would do that?”

“You must be checking right now. How did this happen?

A case of kidnapping of an academy lower grade student.

It was never an issue that could be taken lightly.

“If you’re aiming for the lower grades, don’t we care?”

“Even if it’s inconvenient, let’s endure it. What if I get entangled in the exam?”

Even though a curfew was issued because they had exams ahead, most of the students decided to comply.

“It’s also a time when you don’t go outside because you’re studying for an exam anyway.”

“That’s right…”

The problem was when the test was over.

It is natural to release the stress accumulated from the exam.

Before that, it was necessary to work things out so that the curfew could be withdrawn.

However, what the students thought would be solved soon, progress was slower than expected.

“I can’t find any traces of it.”

“The knights too?!”

“Is that all irresponsible? After the exam, the students will ask for the curfew to be lifted. Shouldn’t you tell them what to do?”

Knights dispatched from the state were searching the academy city, and the academy teachers also looked around the city every night after class to find the missing children.

But no trace of the children could be found anywhere.

It disappeared as if it had been thoroughly planned.

The article investigating the case cited the Awoken as the reason for not finding the children.
