I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.52 Accompanying (2)

When Kim Chae-eun saw Jeong Seon-young for the first time, she did not know what to do.

I didn’t know that, but Jeong Seon-young is said to be a very famous holder in the Ice Wizard series.

In fact, he had the ability to be close to the best in ice runes, which seem to be epic runes, so it was strange that he was not famous among related series.

I met a senior I admired.

Being with you will only double the joy.

Thanks to you all the way to Daegu.

I was able to see a new side of Kim Chae-eun.

“Seniors. Can I get you some water?”

“… are you okay. Are you already there?”

When eating and drinking water.

“Seniors. What is the water temperature in your accommodation? Were you cold? Shall I come and talk to the counter?”

“… This is my acquaintance’s lodging.”

When unpacking at the hotel.

“Seniors. I didn’t know what you would like, so I bought an Americano, a latte, and a mocha. Eat something comfortable, hehe.”

“… … .”

Even when drinking coffee in a cafe.

Kim Chae-eun’s enthusiasm was immense.

She was very sociable, but this appearance was unfamiliar.

“If you have any problems, please tell me!”

“That, yes… .”

Jeong Seon-young sent me a look of burden.

She spoke comfortably to me and Kim Chae-eun.

By the way, this was also because of Kim Chae-eun’s earnest request to let her go.

‘What should I do with him?’

Her eyes said so.

I closed my eyes and shook my head.

this doesn’t work for me either

The runaway Kim Chae-eun can’t even stop her father, Professor Kim Myung-hyun.

“Oh. Is there anything you want to buy separately at the auction house?”

Jeong Seon-young took a sip of coffee and changed the topic.

We were at a cafe in Dongseong-ro.

It is said to be the most famous cafe in Jung-gu, and the interior is definitely colorful and pretty.

The auction house to be held near here tomorrow.

In addition to the regular auction items, the by-product auction of the S-class monster will be held together.

Me and Jeong Seon-young participated in this disaster monster hunt, and of course we had the right to purchase the latter.

“uh… that is.”

But can I say this?

Are the items you wish to purchase overlapping?

You seem to know those worries.

Jeong Seon-young smiled and continued.

“Ugh, it’s okay. What I’m going to buy won’t overlap with yours. Don’t you want to buy leather anyway?”

“Leather?”

“okay. S-class monster skins are popular.”

Unlike dungeons, field monsters do not have restroom rewards.

It is impossible to acquire special items such as equipment, accessories, and various potions that are mainly used by holders.

Of course, sometimes monsters with items as weapons or certain body parts become items, but in most cases, field monsters only drop magic stones and by-products.

And except for the magic stone.

Among the by-products, the most popular is ‘monster skin’.

“Why is leather so popular?”

Kim Chae-eun tilted her head and asked.

＜History and Information of the Monster＞ You must have slept on time.

They all show up in that class.

I answered her on behalf of Jeong Seon-young.

“When blacksmiths make armor, monster skin is the key material. It is also used as a material for jewelry or as a research material.”

The by-products from monsters are quite diverse.

The most representative of them is magic stone.

Magic Stone is the holder’s main source of income and is a fairly versatile item.

It is also used as a raw material for maintaining magical phenomena such as [Magic Barrier] and [Warp Gate], and is often used to make weapons and armor or special items such as potions.

A stone with magical powers.

As the name suggests, magic stones are used wherever magic is needed.

As such, there was a lot of demand and a lot of supply in the holder world.

“The next most popular by-product is leather. The higher the grade, the better the quality, and the hides of Grade A monsters sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“Wow… Are you selling so expensive?”

“yes. Good leather has a high probability of producing high-grade items.”

Expensive leather makes good items.

To be honest, if only I had the time.

In addition to the magic stone, I want to purchase leather as well.

If it’s the skin of the S-class monster, Swir Leviathan… Because it is clear that items that are at least rare will be made.

Besides, I know enough blacksmiths to make those items.

However, the first thing to do right now is the magic stone.

The chance to get a legendary rune and rare armor were at a level that was embarrassing to even compare.

Kim Chae-eun, who was listening quietly, tilted her head for a moment.

“Then why haven’t I ever gotten a leather?”

“Because there are no slaughter-type runes. You have to know how to get leather.”

“Do slaughter have runes?”

“yes. It is classified as a special category.”

Unlike magic stones that can be easily obtained by any holder.

The various by-products of monsters such as hides, hearts, and body fluids can only be accurately harvested by a professional butcher.

Ordinary holders can be slaughtered, but the by-products are damaged or the quality is significantly reduced.

Even if ordinary holders hunt monsters, it is not easy to get by-products.

For this reason, domestic clans used to hire their own butchers as clan members.

To maximize the value of the dungeons they own.

Other special classes are in need of cold meals if they lack ability, but slaughter holders themselves are so small that they can be easily employed in any clan.

Even holder associations and governments often hire them…

For them, worrying about getting a job was a story from a distant country.

“Then what, the heart, blood, body fluids, etc… Anything that could be research material is sold as a by-product. Especially the S-class monster we hunted today has a lot more to collect.”

The monster’s by-products are not simply used as crafting materials.

It is also a popular item in holder science complexes such as Rune Labs.

The modern holder system is an unknown area full of questions, and there are still many undiscovered secrets.

Scientists who wanted to find out new facts through the by-products of monsters were still researching somewhere.

“Then why can’t we get the items directly from the monster?”

“Most of the items are in the dungeon rest room. Almost like that.”

“Not necessarily.”

Jeong Seon-young, who was quietly listening to the story, spoke up.

“Sometimes the weapons used by monsters are also items. The odds are slim.”

It’s not wrong.

In fact, you can also get items from field monsters.

Monsters like Hobgoblin Warriors, for example.

Just like dropping items in the game, when hunting them, the equipment they use is sometimes an item.

Even if such equipment became normal, there were hundreds of them, so it was not negligible.

So there were often holders who hunted only those kinds of monsters.

Of course, I never got it.

Not even once while attacking the ‘Hobgoblin Village’.

Even the equipment of the boss monster ‘Hobgoblin Chief’ was not an item.

[Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] came from the Golden Goblin’s Treasure Bag.

As such, the probability of obtaining an item from a field monster was low.

“ah. And the undead dungeon that was recently classified as superlative… What was it?”

I replied to Jeong Seon-young’s words.

“A room nearing death?”

“Oh, yes! The dungeon boss there was an S-class monster, and the sword he used was an epic-class item.”

“Death Night… .”

S-class monster Death Knight.

The boss of ＜The Room Closer to Death＞, classified as a top-notch dungeon.

As I muttered his name, Jeong Seon-young clapped her hands.

“That’s right, Death Knight. Don’t you know anything?”

“It’s the dungeon that Song Do-hyuk holder attacked. I saw an article in the middle of it.”

One of the two master swordsmen in Korea, heir to the Song family.

The third largest clan in Korea after ＜Judgment of Fire＞ and ＜Royal＞.

The clan master of ＜Dragonblade＞.

S-class holder Song Do-hyuk.

The information about him who rose to the top with one sword was so famous that even if I was not the possessor, I could find out through newspapers or articles.

“Anyway, I’m not interested in leather, so be aware. I will buy gills.”

“Gills?”

“yes. That monster, it seems to be a monster who is very good at water-based magic, but I was wondering if something could come out if I researched the gills. You can buy anything useful anyway, even at regular auctions.”

The auction house to be held in Daegu tomorrow.

Not all items listed here are by-products of the Swir Leviathan.

After the general auction items come out first.

A by-product of Swir Leviathan is going into an additional item.

So, even if they participated in the disaster monster hunt, there were many cases where they did not bother with the auction of the by-products.

That’s why I wasn’t scared of this auction where high-ranking holders participate.

Besides the S-class magic stone, there are many good enough items at auction.

“Do you think your seniors often do by-product research?”

“Of course. All wizards are battle holders as well as researchers. You have to think and study for a long time to come up with better magic.”

I nodded.

That was reasonable enough.

“I am interested in the magic stone.”

I took a sip of coffee and answered the question from a while ago.

Then Jeong Seon-young opened her eyes.

“Magic Stone? S-class monster magic stone must be as popular as leather. Do you have a lot of money?”

He replied to that with a shallow smile.

The market value of a B-class monster’s magic stone is 42 million won.

The market value of the magic stone of a Class A monster is 300 million won.

If so, the magic stone of an S-class monster is worth at least 1 billion won.

From what I’ve heard, it is said that there are cases where it goes from 2 billion to 5 billion won.

It’s an amount that an ordinary holder can’t even afford…

‘I have prepared bullets for this day.’

Academy underground dungeon that regenerates every week.

I’ve been collecting money by consistently attacking dungeons.

The main hunting monsters are B-class lizards.

It was a little less efficient than a party of five because I was hunting with Kim Chae-eun, but there were close to 200 monsters I have hunted so far.

The money that falls to me is 4.2 billion won just by dividing the magic stone profit in two.

Here, the by-products of monsters caught while upgrading to a C-class holder, and the dungeon profits from the possession of the ‘Hobgoblin Village’ are also significant.

Even after deducting all the investment money for Choi Yu-min or Choi A-rin, my living expenses, essential expenses, and other expenses… About 4 billion is left on hand right now.

This is enough for other holders.

It won’t be greatly influenced by purchasing power.

‘If you don’t have enough, lay out an iron plate and borrow some from Chae-eun, well.’

Kim Chae-eun has the same level of money as me.

Because we went around the dungeon together.

To be honest, the amount is too large to borrow…

“Why do you look like that?”

As I stared, Kim Chae-eun tilted her head and asked.

I answered by shaking my head lightly.

“It’s solid.”

Because it’s Chaeun.

Can I borrow it somehow?
