Chapter 31 - Dungeon, Evolution and Success 5 (2/2)

[Flexible Hunter’s Bow]

[The shape will change depending on the user’s objective.It can change from a short bow to a ballista.Mana will be consumed to make a Mana Arrow.Its power will depend on the user’s Archery level.Users without Archery level of 100 cannot use it.It is possible to increase durability of the item by injecting Mana.]

After he checked the information regarding the Artifact, Artpe couldn’t hold back his words.He tackled the issue that was bothering him.

“Ballista should not be classified as a bow!?”

“Pull yourself together, customer!That isn’t a ballista.It is a longbow!?”

Artpe activated his Read All Creation ability again, and he checked each component of the bow.He injected some of his power to check if the bow could change into a short bow and a ballista.

Of course, the requirement to use the bow was to be an archer of high rank Class, but Artpe was a hero.He could easily brush aside such restrictions.

“Huhk.It really is a ballista!?”

“This is better than expected…....”

Artpe ignored the shocked Mycenae.He calmly retreated.He turned around to look at Maetel, and he asked her a question.

“Do you have any thoughts about using a bow, Maetel?”

“It looks fun to use, but I’m not confident that I can handle anything that isn’t a club or a sword.That is why I don’t want it.”

“You made a good decision.”

She was talented enough to pick up any weapon, and she would be able to use it well enough to be comparable to the people of the same Class.However, if she learned too many things, she might regret it someday.She was most suited to close combat.She should focus on what she was best at.

“Customer, I will…..”

“I want 1,650 gold.Do you want to buy it?”

“Ooh-mmmmm.If I can find the proper owner, I’m confident I can charge twice that price, but…..”

“You do know there is a scarce supply of this type of artifacts in the world, right?”

Artpe had a fair point.It was a bow that could change form to fit the situation!

It can be used from short range to very long distance.Moreover, there was no need to carry around arrows, and the durability could be recovered.If Artpe was an archer, he would have kept it.It would have been a no brainer.

“A right owner….A right owner….”

Mycenae thought over it for a very long time.This was a huge transaction, so she would have to invest a lot into this venture.This was why she was a bit hesitant.Artpe coaxed her to allay her concerns.

“I have to buy a lot from you this time around.”

“······hoo-ooh.I’ll buy it for 1650 gold.”

This was how over 1,500 gold was exchanged in a single transaction.Silpennon was a crown prince of a nation, yet even his mouth fell open at the sight.

“Are adventurers the type of occupation where one makes a lucrative amount of money?”

“Of course, if all adventurers could find a jackpot of a Dungeon like these little customers, they could earn as much.Unfortunately, 70% of all adventurers fail to find anything.Then about 20% of the adventurers covet the treasures, but they retreat when faced with danger.Nine percent of the adventurers bravely charge forward and they are killed.”

“So that means only 1% of them are able to get what they want?”

“Moreover, if the 1% challenges another Dungeon, they’ll be back in the roulette with 1% chance of succeeding.”

Opportunity always come hand in hand with risk.However, one shouldn’t be delusional about the order in which it was faced.If opportunity exists within danger, the idiots always died first.

“... I will take those words to heart.”

“Well, if one observe these customers, it does make one wonder if those statistics are wrong!”

After Mycenae delivered the warning with a serious voice, she undercut her own words as she turned around.She looked at the last loot left behind by the Huge Slime..

“The last thing left is the chest plate.Its durability and Mana reaction seems to be uncommon…..”

However, before the sensor for Mycenae's worldly desires could activate, Artpe handed the armor to Maetel.

“Maetel.”

“Yes, thank you!”

“Why don’t you two just hurry up and marry?!”

It was called a Blast Plate.It was an armor that only protected the body from the front.

It had a red sheen, and at a glance, one could tell it was something extraordinary.It had the option of protecting its owner from a critical blow, and a fixed amount of Mana was consumed to blunt the effects of an attack.The options were perfect for a defensive gear.

The cherry on top was that it had a similar option to the Bone Gauntlet.It could raise the user’s strength by detecting its owner’s emotions.It was the perfect armor for Maetel, who used Berserk.Since it had an emotion type buff on it, it was the emotion felt by the Huge Slime right before it perished.However, such information could be omitted.

“Hue hue.The red light is too pretty.”

“Ah.I think there are more customers that will look for that instead of the bow…..”

Maetel was happy, and Mycenae was wistful.Leseti, who didn’t have any claims to the artifact, could only look on as she smacked her lips.

It was as if he didn’t care what they were feeling.Artpe suddenly sat on the floor, and his eyes let out a harsh light.It was as if the main fight was yet to come!That was what his expression indicated.

“Sit next to me, Maetel.”

“Yes!”

Maetel, who didn’t know what was going on, sat next to Artpe, and her eyes shone too.The bizarreness of the situation doubled.

Artpe spoke in a solemn manner towards the puzzled Mycenae.

“I told you I have a lot to buy this time around, ajumma.”

“I’m not an ajumma.However, you clearly did say that.”

“Hoo…..”

Artpe shut his eyes tight.There were a lot of thoughts going through his head as he was about to spend an enormous amount of money.

Should he do it right now?Should he?He needed money for many things in the future, so should he make such an expenditure at this point in time?

However, he didn’t know when he’ll be able to see the Dungeon Merchant again.It would be hard to find a suitable location such as this…..

“All right.”

“I’ll be embarrassing if you suddenly confess to me.”

Artpe replied to Mycenae's remark, which had been made in humor.

“I want you to give me all the Skill Books that can be learned by a level 150 Warrior and a level 150 Magician.”

“······.”

Artpe did the only thing that the palace did right in developing the hero.Basically, he started on the task of turning money into ability.
