The moment after he ate the pill, there was a commotion near his back and the Minions showed up. The last people to enter was Vera and Kim-sarang.
He listened to all the words being spoken. It was entertaining to hear English being spoken, but he heard it as Korean. Vera smiled as she spoke to Lee-joonhyuk.
“Did he pressure you into a sale?”
Lee-joonhyuk shrugged his shoulder as he answered.
“I had no choice.”
Vera turned to look at Atlan.
“Is there anything worth buying?”
“Not yet. I have to gather a little bit more before I can buy what I want.”
“Tsk. If you save too much to buy an expensive item, you’ll probably be taken down by some other b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
“What do you take me for?”
Atlan glanced at Lee-joonhyuk.
“Also, we have another ability thanks to this guy.”
“That’s true.”
Lee-joonhyuk stopped showing interest in their words, then he looked at the endlessly spread book. Every item floating in the air was below 1000G.
Still, there were several hundred items listed.
Lee-joonhyuk pushed the item descriptions in front of him with his hand. The item descriptions turned as if one was pa.s.sing a smart phone page. Lee-joonhyuk quickly looked for the things he wanted.
Amongst the 1 star items, there were numerous useful items, but he didn’t want a 1 star item. He quickly flipped the pages until he stopped at the location lined up with jewels.
There were strange symbols engraved within the beautiful jewels.
He knew the language was called Rune language. However, he had no idea how the Rune language was used to develop various powers. It wasn’t something he could understand even after he ate the Language pill.
Lee-joonhyuk could only understand the description.
-Lowest Ranked Strength Rune Stone.
It increased the wearer’s strength by 2. Ten was the limit on how many one could equip. When one wanted to swap it out for a high ranked Rune Stone, one need 3 Rune stones.
Lee-joonhyuk read the description, but there was something he didn’t understand.
“When it says it’ll increase my strength by 2, what does it mean?”
Bebe raised his hand at Lee-joonhyuk’s question, then he pointed towards the Minions.
“You see those Minions? Their average strength is 1.”
“What?”
If one wore this, it meant one could add 2 times the strength of a normal person? Bebe calmly explained it to the surprised Lee-joonhyuk.
“The lowest rank increases by 2, low rank by 5, medium rank by 12, high rank by 25 and highest rank increases by 60. Of course, as it increases in rank, the price triples.”
“Can a person could wear 10 highest rank Rune stones?”
“Of course.”
If one obtained 10 highest ranked Rune Stone, then it meant one could have 600 times the strength of a Minion. Of course, one needed a ma.s.sive amount of currency to do purchase this. One highest ranked stone cost 81000G.
It was a ma.s.sive amount of money.
Bebe looked at Lee-joonhyuk as he spoke.
“Anyone close to Hero status equips the highest ranked gems. It is cla.s.sified by color, and there is a limit of 10 per color. In the end, you can have a combined number of 30 gems.”
Lee-joonhyuk suddenly felt admiration for Atlan and Vera. They possessed items that would cost at the very least 2.43 million G.
Lee-joonhyuk checked the status of the Rune Stone. The red Rune Stones were attack oriented and the yellow colored rune stones were defense oriented. The blue colored rune Stones were related to magic, so it didn’t hold much meaning to him.
After Lee-joonhyuk looked over the Rune Stones, he turned to look at Atlan.
“What kind of Rune stone do you have, Atlan?”
“I have the highest ranked Strength Rune stone. I like crus.h.i.+ng my enemies to death.”
Basically, one had to choose the stones based on one’s preference. Lee-joonhyuk looked back on the battle he fought against the Minions. He had faced them using a two handed sword, but his attack was lacking in strength. Therefore, he had to attack the gaps between his opponent’s armor.
It might be better if he was able to take down his opponent without taking damage. Atlan approached Lee-joonhyuk, who was thinking, and he spoke.
“If you are a man, you should get strength.”
“Is that so?”
Vera spoke as she turned to look at Lee-joonhyuk.
“If you want to survive, then it wouldn’t be too bad to increase your defense. If your defense increases by 2 then you won’t die from a normal Minion’s attack.”
Lee-joonhyuk’s ear twitched at those words.
“There is no point in becoming a meat s.h.i.+eld. You have your barrier.”
At Atlan’s words, he stared at Atlan. His barrier would have to be casted on Atlan, so he would have to fight the Minions.
Lee-joonhyuk thought for a moment.
“If my strength increases by 2, then will I be able to cut through a Minion’s armor?”
Atlan nodded his head as if it was a given.
“Of course. The only exception would be if your opponent possesses a defensive Rune, then you won’t be able to break through it.”
Lee-joonhyuk agonized over it for a moment. If he was able to destroy the opponent’s armor then he’ll be more attack oriented. He could already perceive his opponent’s movement, so he wasn’t too worried about his safety.
Moreover, Atlan’s words swam around his ears.
“Men need strength. I’ll choose this.”
Lee-joonhyuk spoke to Bebe as he picked up the Strength Rune stone. Vera shrugged her shoulder as if his choice was boring, then she returned to Kim-sarang.
Kim-sarang didn’t understand what this place was, so she was busy looking around.
When Lee-jooonhyuk picked the item, Bebe pushed forward the tablet.
“Here.”
Lee-joonhyuk put his hand on top of the tablet, and the 1130G decreased to 130G. One could basically think of 1000G as a 1000 Minion’s lives. Moreover, he was only gaining strength worth 2 people, so it felt like he was taking a considerable loss. However, there was only one Dimensional Market here, so he couldn’t complain about it.
Bebe handed him the red Rune stone with a smile fixed on his face. He felt a strange energy emanating from the red rune stone.
Bebe asked Lee-joonhyuk a question.
“Now that you have bought it, don’t your want to to equip it? I’ll equip it for free, but there is a handling fee when you want to disarm it.”
“A handling fee?”
“I have to use a lot of energy to extract it. Therefore, it’s 50G per removal.”
Lee-joonhyuk couldn’t close his mouth at the astounding price. Bebe laughed as he spoke when he saw Lee-joonhyuk.”
“The installation is free. Do you have a Wearable Rune Item?”
Wearable Rune Item? This was the first time he heard that name. When Lee-joonhyuk turned to Atlan, he spoke to Bebe.
“This is his first purchase, so how would he know about that?”
“Huh? They didn’t even explain it to you? If you don’t have a Wearable Rune Item, then you won’t be able to equip the Rune Stone.”
