Where Did You Get That? (3)
After finishing the contract with Shine and completely settling the rental issue, I returned to my general store.
‘One urgent problem solved.’
Now that I had given Shine her exclusive equipment, she would grow well.
Until the day she fully purchased the weapon from me, there was no need to worry about her anymore.
All I had to do was watch how much she would grow with it.
‘Feels refreshing.’
I opened the shop window using my ability.
As always, the shop displayed items for sale.
Since new products appeared randomly, I had to check it frequently.
‘Back when this was a game, updates were every Thursday.’
Maybe because I’m the only user now, updates felt slower.
Still, I couldn’t complain.
And now that I was in the academy, character summoning had finally unlocked.
Earning money to summon new characters had become my new goal.
“This special deal sucks again. Are you even trying to sell?”
After the resurrection stone package, two more special packages had rotated in—but none were appealing.
So I closed that tab and opened the summon window.
‘I need to summon…’
A 10-pull required 1,600 gems.
Which was about 30,000 won.
And I currently had—
“170.”
Not even enough for a 10-pull.
Just a single pull.
And there was no way I’d get an SSR with that.
But—
‘I endured 14 years for this.’
There was something I had accumulated all this time.
Even though I only had 170 red crystals—
[Owned Mileage: 10,023,000]
‘Now this is it.’
Mileage.
From years of spending.
I could buy VIP mileage items.
Every purchase gave 10% back as mileage—
And I had stacked it all.
‘Where did all that money even go…?’
Since I hadn’t used it for character summons, it must’ve gone into items and packages.
‘At least my shop won’t run out of stock.’
And I had most exclusive equipment already.
Though…
‘Only one resurrection stone from all that… seriously?’
In the game, it wasn’t this rare.
Maybe it got secretly nerfed.
“Damn devs…”
But now wasn’t the time to be angry.
I needed to stay calm.
‘Focus.’
First—
Check the mileage shop.
Usually, it didn’t change much.
[Guaranteed SSR Character Summon] – 1,000,000 Mileage
[Guaranteed SSR Exclusive Equipment] – 1,000,000 Mileage
[Red Bundle] – 10,000
[Blue Bundle] – 10,000
[Green Bundle] – 10,000
‘Huh?’
[(Event) Moon Rabbit Lucky Pouch (0/3)] – 10,000
[(Event) Moon Rabbit Random Pouch (0/1)] – 25,000
New items.
Like they were waiting for this moment.
“An event?”
Usually, the mileage shop tested patience.
These bundles were useful for growth—
But not worth spending on.
But this—
‘This is worth it.’
The Moon Rabbit pouch bundled top-tier items.
Even spending 100,000 won wouldn’t guarantee this.
‘They actually did something right.’
Since I planned to spend anyway, no hesitation.
First—
Guaranteed SSR character summon.
I could buy 10.
But duplicates were possible.
‘Can’t use all of them recklessly.’
So—
Bought all three Moon Rabbit pouches.
Then three SSR guarantees.
And one random pouch.
“Either jackpot or trash.”
There were even myth-tier items in the pool.
But—
‘No way I get that.’
No point expecting miracles.
What mattered was SSR characters.
Best case—
One that matches my equipment.
Worst case—
All new characters without gear.
‘That’s gacha.’
Still—
Location mattered.
‘I need a lucky spot.’
I closed the shop and headed out.
To the central plaza.
My “lucky summoning spot.”
Water flowed from a fountain.
A baby angel statue blew a trumpet.
The sound was calming.
Not like in the game.
But nice.
Benches nearby—
Ignored.
I stepped closer.
The water smelled bad.
‘Gross.’
I stepped onto the marble fountain edge.
Clap!
People stared.
“What’s he doing?”
I didn’t care.
If their attention brought luck—
Even better.
I opened the mileage shop.
Used the SSR ticket.
‘Activate.’
Flash—!!
Dark clouds formed above.
Rumble…
Golden lightning descended.
Flash!
Like thunder striking.
I stared in awe.
‘Damn… that’s insane.’
Even though I’d seen it before—
It still hit hard.
The sound.
The light.
It was overwhelming.
‘This is how SSR should feel.’
If it wasn’t flashy, it wouldn’t be satisfying.
And this—
Exceeded expectations.
The only downside—
Only I could see it.
Still—
This was a guaranteed SSR.
No tears.
Just anticipation.
‘So… who is it this time?’
