Chapter 73-74 (1/2)
“We completed a cube””
Typhoon of Rising guild, showed the couild had gathered the cube frag named monsters just in case, and after a whole day of hard work, they were able to complete a cube
Low-grade random cube
-An ite the cube can open the cube
The ite a symbol was also pretty easy
“Shall I?”
“Yeah”
Shooting Star replied with a nod at Typhoon’s question
Creak, creak
When Shooting Star replied, Typhoon immediately rotated the cube a few tiht shone from the cube
Flash!+
You have corade Frostwind Aura Crystal’
On Typhoon’s hand was no longer the low-grade rando for all this time
“Oh…… shi+t……”
Seeing that, Typhoon felt as though he was struck on the head with a hammer
“This…… looks like ere fooled by soht?”
Shooting Star was also looking at the Aura Crystal with a defeated expression
“Just where did it all go wrong? I thought you said this was genuine information”
“Yeah…… Just where did it go wrong? Did that NPC lie to me then?”
“We were too foolish There’s no reason an NPC couldn’t lie”
“The infor updates until noere all true, so we didn’t possibly think that they would be lies shi+t, are we supposed to discern truth and lies froame? It’s so complicated”
Shooting Star thought that the false NPC update inforaht so as well No, in fact, no one ile user behind this false information
“Hood that we found out now”
Typhoon h they wasted one day, it was very fortunate that they got to know about it now
“What about the other guilds?”
“They shouldn’t be any different frouilds that found out that they were struck on the back of the head by co a cube for themselves”
“What are you going to do now? Are you…… going to disclose this information?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I will”
When Typhoon asked, Shooting Star shook his head
“Then what?”
“We first have to fill in our losses as norant cube pieces there?”
“Until now, there were many people that were fooled by the false information, so there should be But you know already, don’t you? I think the ‘Black Hand’ of the auction is swiping them all”
The top-cass users all knew that there was a giant hand in the EL auctions They called this the ‘Black Hand’…… and as long as this being existed, hoarding was practically impossible
“Then let’s gather whatever little we can through our guildnaet some”
Shooting Star ith a decision to minimize losses
“Then there will be ruht?”
“Froardless by toet our share before we’re too late”
“Well, we shouldn’t be the only ones to notice this…… The other guilds should be doing the saht?”
“Probably In the end, the only ones that make losses will be the normal users that are slow to the uptake”
Just as Shooting Star and Typhoon had estiuilds noticed this fact first, and started h they had negotiated this beforehand
Although this kind of inforht last a day or two
Meanwhile, the normal users would make more losses
The norments as easy-to-sell items due to the seriously distorted inforrades
Moreover, putting theave thest the norot around that they should sell them while they could as much as possible
Of course, there were a few people that claiather them and not sell them, but since even 2 or 3 out of 10 low-levelled ht that they should sell them while it was still possible
The ansas that they should collect them and not sell thements would rise even ht now in the future
Also, there was so that was not known to others yet
Generally, a cube could be corade However, creating a larger cube with ained from it would rise
Once this fact was spread around, even the lowest-grade cubes wouldn’t be sold for so cheap
Although people were selling the the cube was disclosed, the price of all the fragments would naturally rise
Sanghyuk knew all this, so he was hoarding thements toko their proper market price
The Stone Giants were hard to kill, but killing theh-quality iteift set
Sanghyuk killed one Stone Giant every five minutes and turned the Stone Giant valley into a desolate land
After hunting Stone Giants for nearly ten hours without rest, Sanghyuk was able to gather around 20 high-grade cube fragained a variety of cubes and was hard pressed to find ones of the same shape, he didn’t think that he would be able to complete a cube so easily
Sanghyuk stopped hunting and returned to Tune in hellfire Desert Then, he started collecting the cube fraguild had hoarded
Since there were so ments on the auction and the commissioned sales stores Of course, even more cubes would be stored in user’s warehouses and inventories, but as important was that one individual had hoarded the ments
Thanks to that, Sanghyuk was able to gain an uniments
When he collected all the cube fragathered, he estirade
He also estirade, and even 5~7 rade cubes
The auild had used to buy these cube fragold
On the second day, the speed at which ignorant cube frag At this point, even the slowest users to infor, so very few people were selling their cube fragments
‘I wish that the current atmosphere was maintained for another 2 days at least…… Looks like some of the information will be updated on the community today’
Sanghyuk made an expression of pity He put a lot of effort intothe infore-scale guilds especially were very quick on the uptake and he was only able to fool them for a day at most
“Well, I guess I got enough”
Once the cube fragments reached their norold instead of 2 ather the same amount he had now
In other words, Sanghyuk had pretty old in these 2 days Once the true secret behind the aura system was disclosed, then ained more than that
‘Let’s rade cube to check, eh?’
Sanghyuk chose one type of the lowest-grade cube frag a cube He cole’ cube frorade aura crystal from
Cubes were classified into ‘single’, ‘double’, and ‘triple’ according to their size Single-sized cubes resulted in sarade aura crystals, while double-sized cubes resulted in an aura crystal of a grade higher
Lastly, triple-sized cubes resulted in an aura crystal of two grades higher
There was nothing above triple In other words, the otten frorade
Sanghyuk first le) and corade aura crystal

The Stell Aura Crystal was a very run-of-the-mill aura crystal These were mostly used by tankers, and as there were no specificthem, the only expected effect was the increase in defense
‘It’s just as I knew it’
There were just as many types of aura crystals as there were types of cube symbols It was impossible to predict which aura crystal would appear just from the symbol of the cube alone
Perhaps due to that, people didn’t care about the syht that using the saments would do
However, this actually wasn’t the case This secret was not sohyuk’s previous life as well, it took four entire months from the update until someone found out about this secret
‘Si picture results in this…… but the sy pictures!’
Sanghyuk put the lowest-grade aura crystal inside his bag and started ruments
He coh his memories to think up of one symbol that he knew of These sy an entirely new sy different cube pieces completed a different symbol
It was just like Sanghyuk’scards The cubes had a formula of their own
Even though they were different cube fraghyuk was able to make a completely new symbol when he twisted around with the cube
‘This was…… the golden lion, wasn’t it?’
Sanghyuk knew of many different types of cube combinations The cube combinations he remembered were the ones that the users had verified their perforhout the years in his previous life
Sanghyuk corade combination cube and twisted it to ht shone froain

This would become one of the most common unique aura crystals that the rankers would one day use Later, these cubes would become so important that the ‘coe sums of money
OF course, Sanghyuk’s memories contained the truly effective co that he had learned through being a director of a pro-gamer team in his previous life
‘Yes, this is it’
