Episode 104 Skill Upgrade (2)
one side.
The skill stolen from the boss was ‘Collapse’.
Although I was preoccupied with acquiring the clone technique, the effectiveness of the collapse skill was also quite good.
In the event of a collapse, a temporary sinkhole could be created on dirt or sandy ground.
Any terrain that isn’t hard will suffice. The holes won’t be very deep, but it’s enough skill to create variables.

In addition, he gave several magic stones that came out as loot to Yoon Sang-mi.
It wasn’t long before the amount was embarrassing to even justify with the price of a dungeon license.
The long-awaited achievement of level 100 has finally come to an end. It is finally time to think about where to use the redstone.
I’ve been thinking about it here and there, but this might be the first time I’ve really thought about it seriously.
First, I sent her home with the intention of looking into it after breaking up with Yoon Sang-mi.
This is because she lived in a house in Tanbang-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon that she considered a second home.
The original plan was to drop her off at her home, book a hotel room, and rest there, but… … .
I changed my mind after seeing Yoon Sang-mi’s complexion, which looked paler than I thought.
The problem seemed to be that I woke up from a faint because of the solver and then continued to clear the dungeon while in that state.
So I laid her down on the bed, soaked a towel in water, and placed it on her forehead, albeit an old-fashioned way.
I brought some over-the-counter medicine and didn’t forget to hand it over along with some warm water.
Just because she’s emotionally dull doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to take care of people, but Yoon Sang-mi seems unexpected.
“I didn’t know my brother could do this kind of nursing. I’m surprised.”
“I knew you’d say that.”
“I guess my body must have taken a toll on me while I was being subdued and knocked unconscious by that crazy guy.”
“I feel like I rushed the dungeon raid too much.”
“Not at all. I was the one who suggested we go in. That’s just the situation. You don’t have to blame me.”
“Anyway, get some rest. I’ll stay by your side until you wake up from a deep sleep.”
“Wow… … That’s really not like you to say that.”
“No matter how cold the blood is, it doesn’t freeze. Why don’t you just sleep when you have time to sniffle?”
“Hey, how are you?”
Yoon Sang-mi pretended to be okay and buried herself under the blanket with a playful expression.
Kang-hoo could feel it.
I’m definitely not in good condition.
You’re just pretending to be okay, you’re not okay. At least you need a good night’s sleep.
As expected.
In less than 10 seconds, Yoon Sang-mi fell into a deep sleep. She was clearly extremely tired.
Kang-hoo, who came out to the terrace for a moment, called Jeong-yu-ri.
Now that I’ve reached level 100 and run out of Mad Solarkid, I definitely have a reason to meet K.
I was thinking of stopping by Osan Station for a bit, but I thought it would be better to just grab the necessities first.
– Hello… … Uh-huh.
The voice of Jeong Yu-ri who answered the phone sounded exactly like that of a person who was dying.
Of course, it was not a good time to be making a phone call at 6 am.
“Did I call too early?”
– No, Oppa… … . It’s okay. It’s okay, but uh… … Just a moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of someone diligently washing their face was heard. It was the moment when I realized what Apu Apu meant.
After a while, Jeong Yu-ri, who had completely woken up, continued speaking.
– I don’t know why I’m so tired these days, no matter how much I sleep. Is it because I changed my bed?
“Is it okay to talk?”
– Yeah, it’s okay. Oppa, do you miss Grandpa now?
“Yeah. I have to go to Ground Zero. There are things I want to buy and things I want to ask about.”
– How about meeting at Seoul Station tomorrow morning and leaving? Grandpa has a closing day today.
“What does it mean to close?”
– It’s the day to harvest solar energy, and it’s also the day to organize inventory!
“Ah, then I guess I have to avoid it today.”
– Yeah. That’s why I said I’d see you tomorrow morning.
“Should we take the train from Seoul Station?”
– No! I’ll get the train! Just come to Seoul Station, oppa. 7 in the morning. Is that okay?
“No problem.”
– Then tomorrow morning at 7 o’clock. Bye!
The call ended with Jeong Yu-ri’s playful voice.
I was a little confused by what he meant when he said he would get his own car instead of taking the train.
Once you leave Seoul and go to the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, things get a bit more unsafe.
The North was not only home to warlords, but also had a considerable presence of criminal organizations.
It was safer to pass through the Abyss’ jurisdictional area than to go to Seoul, since it was under Lee Hyun-seok’s control.
But there are also areas that must be passed through, which are lawless zones where kidnappings and attacks of all kinds are rampant.
It wasn’t all that surprising to see a bazooka being fired at a moving car on the road.
There’s no way Jeong Yu-ri wouldn’t know that, and if that’s the case, then she’s talking about finding a vehicle that can definitely guarantee safety.
Since that would require a lot of money, I was curious as to who they had in mind.

Perhaps it is with the help of a veiled figure, a grandmother.
Anyway, we’ll see about that tomorrow.
While Kang-hoo was out on the terrace with a cool breeze blowing, he decided to check out the Jeokyo-seok upgrade as well.
If we proceed in the living room where Yoon Sang-mi is sleeping and a strong flash occurs, it will be a nuisance.
‘For now, let’s leave out two of the seven essential stones. You never know when you’ll get an efficient skill.’
I decided to use only five.
Because you can later obtain skills that go well with the red stone. You need to prepare in advance.
The first thing Kang-hoo invested his Jeok-yeol-seok in was the 5th-grade item ring specialized for matting, the Musin’s Yu-hee.
The original item cannot be upgraded with a special stone.
However, there is one item that is marked as ‘possible’ in the tooltip, and that is the God of War’s Play.
Since it is an item related to the matt house, which is one of the precious stats, the investment value of the red stone was sufficient.
Investing in gemstones for an item usually maximizes its value when it is upgraded to Grade 2 or Grade 1.
【Would you like to upgrade to a 4th grade item?】
【This item can be upgraded with a special stone, and the total number consumed is 1.】
【Upgrading to a 3rd grade item will consume 2 sapphires.】
Kang-hoo immediately pressed confirm.
I couldn’t pour all the stones today, but I definitely needed to invest in one in advance.
【The Game of the Gods – Ring】
【Rating: 4th grade】
【Matjip + 150】
【You can upgrade it to a higher level by using the special material, amethyst.】
“Good.”
Thanks to the upgrade, the increase in the Matter House stat has increased from 50 to 150.
The current mat is 495.
Normally, when it exceeds 500, the basic attack damage received from hunters below level 75 is greatly reduced.
It is difficult to even get a live hit with a normal attack that is not a skill.
“To get to the first rank, you need 2, 3, 4… … a total of 9 groups. Well, let’s go for this one by one.”
Although it may feel like the efficiency of the reagent is low right now, Kang-hoo thought of it as an investment in the future.
That’s enough preparation for the future.
Now is the time to bring about immediate and definitive change.
What Kang-hoo chose without hesitation was Self-Defense – Level 2.
Because it is an essential skill for Kang-hoo who wants to minimize defensive actions or psychological investment in defense.
【Would you like to upgrade to Self-defense Stage 3 using 1 red stone?】
A series of small messages were printed out, but all unimportant instructions were erased.
The upgrade happened right away.
The skill tooltip changed drastically when one of the statutes was removed, to the point where you wonder if it could be this simple.
When I look at these parts, I get the feeling that the Hunter’s system really resembles the game system.
【Self-defense – Step 3】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Passive skill. When activated, it takes 1 hour to reactivate.】
【You can activate self-defense to neutralize all attacks from outside for 0.5 seconds.】
【You can re-activate Stage 2 by using 33% of your mana.】
“0.5 seconds of absolute invincibility. Plus, it’s possible to neutralize two attacks non-selectively.”
Kang-hoo nodded after understanding the tooltip.
0.5 seconds means you can block any attack, and after that you can block two attacks.
If the word ‘absolute’ is attached to an item or skill judgment, it is definitely a benefit. And a very big benefit.
Of course, it is a skill that requires a waiting time in units of hours and cannot be used every time.
It seemed really useful in moments of life or death, or when a strategic counterattack was needed.
It is also possible to boldly charge forward, believing in the invincibility judgment. It is a very strong insurance for an assassin.
Next, I invested one stone into the illusion skill.
It was a very useful skill because it had a 0.2 second absolute hallucination induction judgment.
After the upgrade was completed, the absolute trigger time for hallucinations increased from 0.2 seconds to 0.75 seconds.
An increase of 0.55 seconds.
You might think it’s really short, less than a second.
So much happens in the Hunter’s world in that short moment.
A light wound leads to a deep wound, and a deep wound leads to an irreversible death.
Because Kang-hoo knew the meaning of that time all too well, the increase felt even greater.
Next came the shadow walk.
Originally, you could only move the location by selecting one of the five shadows.
Through the upgrade, all remaining shadows can now be utilized.
From the opponent’s perspective, they must be mindful of the positions of not only the main body but also the five shadows.
It’s a headache. Of course, it’s exciting for Kang-hoo, who is having fun with such an opponent.
And the remaining one was invested in the art of cloning.
By investing just one Summon Stone, the skill damage judgment of the clone increases from 33% to 50%.
The ultimate goal is to allow both the clone and the main body to produce 100% firepower.
Although it was still a story of the distant future, Kang-hoo believed that he would definitely be able to make it a reality someday.
“Whew. It feels like all the accumulated stress is being washed away.”
Kang-hoo, who had invested and upgraded all the stones except for the two extra stones, let out a hot breath.
I was so absorbed in examining the descriptions of the changed skills that I unconsciously held my breath.
With the current configuration, it seemed like it would be much easier to compete with hunters at the level of Jeon Jong-du or the problem solver.
Of course, this is just a prediction.
If I look up a little and think of someone like Kang Dong-hyun, I feel suffocated again.
But even if he is Kang Dong-hyun, he cannot ignore and break the absolute invincible judgment.
Anyway, I felt good because I felt like I used the stones evenly and richly. I think there will be something meaningful to gain.
But right then.
【The ‘Master of Yabawi’ constellation gives you the chance to spin the wheel without fail.】
I finally checked the alarm for the constellation message that I had been completely unaware of because I was distracted by other things.
The message that immediately caught my eye was the one left by the constellation of Yabawi, the master of the night sky.
Yes, it’s time to spin the wheel of fortune.
