Chapter 36: Dark Star (2)
Yunnan, southwestern China.
It was an anarchic criminal district with no laws.
After committing a crime in Asia and running away, nine out of ten fled to Yunnan.
Because all kinds of criminal guilds were gathered, the Chinese government could not even touch the criminals of Yunnan.
That's where Ram entered.
Two people drinking on the street saw Ram walking by and talking to them.
"Does the item look good?"
"Are you here alone?"
It was in Chinese, but Ram, with an interpreter, spoke Korean.
"Go away, you idiots."
When they realized that they too had an interpreter in their ear, they left and got up.
"What? You don't know who this baby is? Can't you see the guild mark?"
Ram saw the guild mark on their shoulder and took off the sticker on the shoulder where the guild mark should have been.
It was a guild mark with a black star shape.
When the two saw the mark, they were startled and got up from their seats and set themselves up.
"Sin, sorry!"
"I didn't know you!"
"That bastard."
Ram ran towards the city center.
Several people were fighting and getting beaten up.
The smell of blood was everywhere, and the streets were full of garbage.
As I went into the city center to some extent, I saw a tidy street.
Neon signs flashed, and there was no bloody smell.
Ram entered a club.
When the waiters saw Ram, they bowed their heads.
Others also showed interest when they saw Ram or, to be more precise, the mark on his shoulder.
Ram walked to the VIP room and opened the door without knocking.
A muscular man sat with his shirt off, and a black star was drawn over his shoulder.
"Is it really here?"
Women in revealing clothes were sitting around the men.
"Who are you, brother?"
"Would you like to play with my sister?"
"Sit down, sit down."
Ignoring those who speak Chinese, Ram said.
"I see everything."
"What's going on? Now I want to play."
"Let me go, Captain."
The man was Korean, and it was Kwon Do-hyeok, who is also on the list of world-class criminals.
He was the one who did not hesitate to commit crimes that could be done by force, such as murder, robbery, and assault.
And his guild name is Dark Star, and it was the most prominent crime guild in Asia.
"It's rough. No matter what happens, let's play. How are you guys not good? Call the other kids."
"Did you come here because I have nothing to do?"
Kwon Do-hyuk looked at Ram and nodded.
"okay. Just be silly."
Kwon Do-hyuk bit women.
As the women left and the door closed, Ram sat down and asked.
"How much is my share if the blacksmith succeeds in the kidnapping? Leader?"
"Tell me how to cut it. What is your grade?"
"It's okay to take care of you, so you don't get upset, right?"
"You go by the rules. So what's the grade?"
"I promise, Captain. He said that he would obey the guild's rules."
"Did I not protect you?"
Ram shook his head.
"no. I would like people higher than the Captain to step forward in this matter."
Kwon Do-hyuk's eyes narrowed.
"Even Gilma and Boogilma?"
"Yeah."
"great. I'll take responsibility and make sure you don't feel bad, so tell me where you are and who you are."
Ram took a drink and carefully opened his mouth.
"At least unique plus. Or a legend maker."
"What country?"
"Korea."
"Which guild is covering it?"
"There is no guild to which it belongs other than the Blacksmith's Association."
A smile spread across Kwon Do-hyuk's lips.
"Tell me more."
"It's a guy named Lewis who is made in Korea."
"Louis? Is this the beginning of a golden hour?"
"Then what about producer G?"
Kwon Do-hyeok, who was about to take a drink, stopped and looked at Ram.
The wine glass was placed on the table.
"Is it Lewis or something, G?"
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I started with the rare, and now I am making the Epic superlative. As the level goes up, Epic+ and even Unique will become possible."
"Low level?"
"I saw the battle in the video, and it was like that. Your level must have risen by now, maybe 70 at the earliest?"
"I saw it too."
Ram showed a video of Lee Seong-Cheol attacking Junwoo floating around the Internet.
"Why is the blacksmith holding a gun?"
"Let's take a picture of intelligence."
"Are you a blacksmith or an alchemist?"
"More like an alchemist."
Kwon Do-hyuk, who returned the phone, asked with a puzzled face.
"Yeah, the level seems low. But on what basis are you sure that it is unique and legendary? Why are you relating it to the golem?"
"I came to see that."
"What?"
"The mechanical golem that crafts."
Kwon Do-hyuk's eyes widened.
"This is a video I took here."
Ram's smartphone had a video of Junwoo's robots working for about 10 seconds.
"Crazy… Is that a watch?"
"That weird machine was spitting out the clock. Maybe Lewis is Producer Golem."
"I'm not interested in Golem or what. Isn’t this just crazy?"
Kwon Do-hyuk looked at Ram and slowly drew a satisfied smile.
"Where?"
"The underground workshop in the mountains."
"Are you screaming for kidnapping? What about the bodyguard?"
"Epic level four and the one who might get involved in Walker."
"That Walker on the Russian front?"
"Yes, he is a material dealer in Korea. If Walker intervenes, Fabregas might move."
The name of the largest guild on the Russian front was Fabregas.
"Don't worry about them. They don't matter. Any other special features?"
"I feel good with mana."
"It would be a legend. Those who can't control mana should stay away."
Ram nodded and asked if the most assertive person who could help him had joined.
"Can the guild master come too?"
"It's good to be certain, so you should call him if it's this size. But I don't know if I'll be able to find that yangban because he's heard interesting things about the gate these days."
"What about the others?"
"Don't worry. I will take responsibility and call them all. you plan well You're good, like that."
"I will prepare thoroughly, Captain."
"This is not the time for you to be like this."
Kwon Do-hyuk stood up.
"Are you going to Korea right away?"
"I will draw while monitoring him."
"Okay, let's go out together. Eyy, I thought you’d upload one big scoop."
Kwon Dohyuk placed his hand on Ram's shoulder and walked towards the door.
* * *
The threat was ahead.
Junwoo returned to his underground workshop with a faint smile without knowing anything.
The quest for a month was cumbersome and cumbersome, but as a result, the quest seemed to be successful.
He ran so hard that he did not know how many thousands of kilometers he had run in a round trip.
The money returned to the Mantis guild members exceeded 1 billion gold.
But Junwoo did it in the end.
[Dimension warehouse move button]
-Class: Unique
-Description: Press the button to go to dimension number 1123-5574-4452.
-Remaining count: 6 times
-Producer: Esopia
-Item value: 33,225,565,693
Junwoo carefully pressed the switch called the move button.
The moment I pressed it, the view and the air around me changed.
It was a cave with a gray wall that looks bumpy.
The sunlight didn't seem to come in, but strangely, the inside was bright as if a light had been turned on.
The cave was a square space of about 1,000 pyeong.
At the end of the wall was a bookcase made of iron, and next to it were items familiar to Junwoo.
Iron ore, titanium, adamantium, mithril, orichalcum, and other various and enormous materials were placed in bundles.
Judging from the size, it was 100 units per bundle.
There was a book stacked on the bookshelf.
The book's cover was made of mithril and had strange patterns on it.
‘Is this?'
Junwoo took out the book and looked at it.
[Book of Ethiopia]
-Rank: Unique+
-Description: This is a book in which an Ethiopian records his inventions. However, so that no one could open the book, Ethiopia put a spell on it. The conditions for reading the book are as follows.
-Condition 1: Possess blueprint-making skills.
-Condition 2: A job with a unique + rank or higher.
-Condition 3: Intellect 200 or higher.
Item Value: 85.000.000.000
[The quest ‘Whereabouts of Blueprints' has been completed.]
[The bonus stat increases by 20 as a quest reward.]
The reward of the bonus stat was 10 times higher than that of the others.
Junwoo distributed all 20 to his Intellect.
Then I looked at the book again.
Junwoo's intelligence was 230, and all three conditions were met, so Junwoo opened the bookshelf.
A bookcase made of mithril opened, and light radiated.
The book was split into powder of light and permeated into Junwoo's head.
How to make various things, just like when I used a wooden mechanical blueprint, crept into my mind.
A lamp that emits light to restore health, a magic light bulb that follows the user, a phone that allows you to communicate over long distances, a pendant that can be used with magic, etc.
The 10 production methods permeated Junwoo's mind.
They were inventions that were likely to be a hit no matter what they made and sold.
In addition, if Junwoo's technical skills were added, the effect would be better than I expected.
‘You're a great inventor. My name is Ethiopian.'
It was like the name on the button, but the method for making the button was not included in the book.
‘I'm sorry.'
Then, Junwoo grabbed the white marble placed in the drawer.
[Eumeria Soul Stone]
-Class: Unique
– Race: Human
-Level: 99
-Stats: Strength: 160 Dexterity: 172 Intellect: 99 Stamina: 123
-Description: A stone containing a human soul.
-Item value: 55,000,000,000,000
It was a round white marble small enough to fit in a mouth.
Soulstone was an item used by alchemists when making golems and homunculus or when necromancers resurrected a corpse.
Junwoo grabbed the stone and closed his eyes.
Then put mana in it.
It was a skill that could be used by obtaining the knowledge of an alchemist.
There was a model that could maximize the efficiency of the soul stone.
I had to know whether I was a man or a woman, whether I was short or tall.
A human figure was drawn to Junwoo's mind with his eyes closed.
It was the figure of a woman with a beautiful chest and a beautiful pelvis.
When the parts that make up a woman were about to be pictured in her head, Junwoo opened his eyes.
‘You have to draw it on the blueprint.'
There were no other things besides the two of them in the iron cabinet.
Junwoo looked at the number of materials scattered on the floor.
Iron ore was over 9,000, titanium was around 6,000, and adamantium was over 4,500.
In addition, there were 526 Mithrils, each with 40 million gold, and 164 Orharkons with 400 million gold each.
The price of ore alone reached 107 billion gold.
There were 24 high-grade magic crystals and 7 high-grade magic stones, so the price of magic crystals alone reached 94 billion won.
Other than that, miscellaneous alchemists' materials were scattered on the floor, and their value alone exceeded 40 billion gold.
‘Is this all?'
It was definitely a great discovery.
The value of soul stones and items exceeded 200 billion gold.
But it was sad.
Because there were no bonus stats obtained from hidden dungeons or unusual binding scrolls.
Junwoo liked the button in his hand more than anything like this.
‘If this… … .'
You could keep yourself safe from danger.
‘Let's sell the watch.'
It seemed that he could reveal his existence to some extent now.
Junwoo put the food he had in the warehouse.
When Deok-Cheol Kim and Junwoo were imprisoned there, he realized the importance of food and kept food for several months.
There was a limit to the number of times the warehouse button was pressed, so I had no intention of re-entering it as much as possible.
So I put the food I had there.
I don't know if I'll ever need it.
‘And… … .'
Apart from the other materials, Junwoo put the large Ori-Halcon and the top-grade Magical Stone into the item window.
‘This should be sold.'
I was thinking of selling it to raise the level of my skill.
‘Are you going over there?'
The way out would be to go to the entrance on the side of the wall that was forming a heterogeneous space like a dimensional rift.
Junwoo walked there.
And after passing through it, a few seconds later, Junwoo's body fell to the position it was in when the button was pressed.
Can-can-can!
Can-can-can!
Wow!
Junwoo collected the watch boxes he had collected so far in one place.
And, although annoying, he started to change the name of the producer he wrote down.
From G to Lewis.
