Chapter 10
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 10 - How to Create a Character (10)
I’m thinking of investing the earned meta point into status and skills.
However, if I haven’t leveled up yet and suddenly my status or skill goes up, I could be caught by a swindler with Insight Eye, so I should invest all at once when leveling up.
For example, after clearing a dungeon.
I saw Scammer talking to class F kids.
The children, who were excited about identifying their weapons aptitude, were planning to go to the weapon store.
But I walked away from the kids on the pretense of wanting to check out my new weapon.
For now, I was thinking of using the entry-level weapon I had just been given.
The academy’s entry-level weapons were good enough for training without any problems. It’s more like the basic system that doesn’t give any corrections.
So usually, if you can afford it, everyone buys their own personal weapon.
Of course. Because the final destination we will go to is the battlefield.
It’s a place where lives fly easily, so isn’t it natural to use a good weapon with a little correction or effect attached to it? Life is precious.
But I had no money, so I had to use even this entry-level type.
The classroom, which had been noisy for a while, seemed to be gradually calming down, and when I looked away, Scammer strode towards me.
“Kang Nahyun.”
“Ah, Yuhan! Why?”
“Would you also like to go to the weapon store together at lunch?”
It’s coming.
I smiled neatly, trying to control the corners of my lips that were about to go up.
“I’d love to!”
The reason he suggested that we go to the weapon shop together, even after seeing me trying to pick up an entry-level weapon, is probably that.
I was included in Scammer’s grand plan to win the hidden piece, that is, the various treasures hidden in this world.
***
As expected, she can’t afford to buy a special weapon.
I decided on a plan after seeing Kang Nahyun at the side of the children checking the cheap weapon.
“Would you also like to go to the weapon store together at lunch?”
“I’d love to!”
Let’s clear the debt and sign a contract.
This is the fellow who follows me like this even though I showed kindness for a very short time. So, if I erase the bigger debt, it will be very easy to make a contract with her later.
Kang Nahyun smiled innocently, as if she had no idea of my dark inner thoughts.
I feel sorry about this.
Do you need to feel sorry? I would take it from you as much as you use me, you know.
I was walking through the weapon store side by side with Scammer, lightly skimming through the parts.
Bow, spear, sword, shield… Various weapons were shining brightly.
Of course, the glamor depends on the price. It was as if I was seeing with my own eyes that the more I upgraded the weapons in the game, the more colorful the equipment became.
I was impressed. These are weapons that look really good for money.
And the price tag next to it freaked me out even more.
A few hundred is basic, and a few thousand for something better. Hey, how many years do I have to work part-time?
“Whoaa… It’s very diverse… And expensive!”
“Because they’re weapons for awakeners.”
Right. And the problem is, this is the price of a commonly used weapon.
In the case of the high-end ‘Meister’ weapon that appears later, you have to get it… Well, let’s not think about this yet.
I put on a sullen expression, shook my head, then, fighting, with my fists clenched.
I directed a heroine who has many worries but still tries to think as positively as possible at the same time.
“I have to work hard to save money!”
I’m getting motivated, you know? When I said that with a smile, Scammer smiled and stroked my hair.
Don’t stroke me. Who do you think is a dog?
Do you want me to bite you like a real dog? Woof?
“Maybe you can get it unexpectedly soon.”
Exactly. For example, you can buy it with your own money?
Laughter came out naturally, probably because I was looking forward to the future. I smiled shyly.
“What did Yuhan come to buy?”
“I’m not sure? First of all, let’s go see the gun.”
“Great!”
There was no need to embellish my heartbeat. Yahoo! Shopping with other people’s money! The best!
I smiled and followed Scammer.
While repeating to myself, if anything, an expensive one!
“Ah, this is cool.”
“It has Continuous Fire skill. Is it a format in which multiple bullets are fired from a single barrel in a wide spread?”
“Then it might not be right for me.”
“As a sniper, accuracy is the key. This kind of continuous firing skill could be rather negative.”
Skills with the same name can have different effects depending on the person or weapon.
For example, let’s say there is person A and person B who have ‘clairvoyance’.
Instead of seeing only the area within the range of vision, A has a longer viewing distance and higher precision than B.
B can scan a wide area at once that can’t even be seen at once, but the distance is shorter than A and the precision is lower.
This gap can be filled by raising proficiency through skill work or so-called ‘training’ or by strengthening skills through leveling up, but, speaking from an initial standard, it manifests in various ways in this way.
So, even if it’s named the same ‘Continuous Fire’, the exact effect may be different.
This is why you have to be meticulous when choosing a weapon and looking at the skills attached to it.
I was pleased to see Scammer inspecting sniper rifles as meticulously as he was inspecting his own weapon.
Right. If you don’t want to waste money, work hard to look and compare.
As a result of passing and comparing various guns for a while, I found a long sniper rifle with a white barrel.
“How about this?”
“The skill is… Strengthening mana.. Is it a form of strengthening by focusing only on bullets?”
Scammer nodded in satisfaction. Then he naturally picked up the gun.
“I’ll buy you this.”
Nice! This is it! This is the taste of investment!
Involuntarily, the corner of my lips went up and my hand tried to stretch out, but I suppressed my desire as much as possible.
“Huh? Hm? Why…”
And with trembling eyes, I literally embodied the shape of pupils earthquake.
‘I’, who had been stumbling around, eventually came to my senses and began to dissuade Scammer.
“Yuhan! Don’t waste your money like this! What kind of belief do you have in me for you to buy it?”
Get yourself together! Scammer smiled at me, who had a serious expression, his shoulders lightly shook. Is that funny? Yes, that would be funny.
“It’s not free.”
“Y-You won’t get anything from me, you know? I’m a beggar!”
Eventually, ‘I’ became pale, as if having had a wild imagination.
“O-Or maybe you need my organs? Urgent?”
In the end, Scammer, unable to hold back his laughter, burst out laughing.
I also want to laugh at my ridiculous and embarrassing self right now. At this point, wouldn’t I have the talent of a great actor rather than a sniper?
Scammer, who had been laughing for a long time, finally stopped laughing after a few minutes and wiped the tearful corners of his eyes from laughing so hard.
All this while, I thought I was dying pretending to be dumbfounded. Get some muscle pain in your stomach later, you bastard.
“It’s not like that. But right, I need you. I want to ask you one more favor.”
“That… you’re not asking about something dangerous, right?”
“It could be dangerous?”
“…Eh.”
Scammer, grinning, looked strangely amused.
Are you happy? You should be. I’m playing with all my might, you know. Our orphanage younger siblings also have incredible acting skills.
“I’m kidding. However, it’s true that I need your skills.”
“My skills…?”
“I can tell you the details after you agree, but at least I promise I won’t put you in danger.”
Scammer pretended to be cool with a serious face.
I acted worried for a while when I saw Scammer approaching, but the answer was, of course, fixed.
‘I’ seriously makes eye contact with Scammer. This is an important question. A question to show my values.
“Is it something that doesn’t hurt people?”
“It’s something that helps people.”
“Then I will.”
Use me as much as you like!
When permission was granted, Scammer grinned. I also wanted to laugh evilly at him, yet I held back. Because it could be ruined.
Scammer finally handed me a homemade sniper rifle, saying it was prepaid.
Look at this white body, how crazy…
I stamped the contract with a smile as I felt all the hardships of the past gone.
Feel free to use me, Boss! The more you pay, the better!
