I'm not really one for superstitions.
Especially not mimicking them in a game—what's the point?
The whole pig head ritual in front of the NPC, stuffing in bundles of cash, offering up trinkets, and performing the sacrifice? That was all just for the stream's entertainment value.
"Please 60%, please 60%, please 60%, please 60%, please 60%."
💬 Comments — Viewer Why so desperate lololol — Viewer It's just a 1 mil gold difference, why so desperate — Viewer Have you ever been this serious about anything in life? — Viewer Please 10%, please 10%, please 10%, please 10%, please 10% — Viewer 2x multiplier, gotta go all in lol Suddenly, a thief—no, a bandit—drops from the sky and steals my sacrificial offering before running off.
"Thief!"
— Viewer lolololololololololololol — Viewer Stealing the offering is meta — Viewer Whoa... takes me back — Viewer But aren't you a thief yourself? If you wanted to be honest, you should've been a knight... — Viewer Cheated, total bullshit lololol — Viewer Let's go 10%~ — Viewer Thief rating lol — Viewer Ominous... should we skip the quest tomorrow? "What do you mean tomorrow? Who believes in superstitions like that?"
— Viewer Oh flag — Viewer That statement — Viewer Yup 10%~ Yup 10%~ Yup 10%~ Yup 10%~ Yup 10%~ — Viewer Jeon Jeonseol who can already see the future? Upvote lol — Viewer Bye. It was a long time of torment and humiliation.
Before claiming the reward, all the shitty treatment I'd endured flashed through my mind.
While I was diligently slaughtering pigs, a mage snipes them from range with spells,
and slow me with no mobility could do nothing but flail my arms helplessly, drowning in powerlessness.
The time I got kicked from the party for landing basic attacks in the ant pit.
The time a mage stole a wild boar stronger than regular pigs.
The time a mage stole a burning boar even stronger than wild boars.
Mages are my enemies.
I will kill mages.
"Kill all mages in this world... Kill the mages..."
— Viewer ? — Viewer Please stop the mage hate — Viewer Not all trash are mages but all mages are trash — Viewer lololol — Viewer Isn't it Jeon the scrub's fault for going to mage hunting grounds without the skill? — Viewer That guy's a mage! — Viewer Kill mages "Quest clear, let's go!"
And the reward that popped into my inventory?
Glove attack power scroll.
10%.
"Aaaargh!"
— Viewer lolololololololololololol — Viewer No. 2 guy, I'll eat well~ No. 2 guy, I'll eat well~ No. 2 guy, I'll eat well~ — Viewer Aaah... my memories with Jeon Jeonseol are fading... — Viewer Scrolls are made by mages, curse mages and see what happens lol — Viewer Jeon the scrub with INT 4 deserves 10% — Viewer Gulp~ So full~ Gulp~ So full~ — Viewer What do we do with our Legend ㅠㅠㅠㅠ (covering mouth and grinning) — Viewer She... has to take it, right...? — Viewer This is gaming — Viewer Meteorland -complete- ⭐ Superchat — DoctorJi (1,000 won) "The one way to salvage a 10% scroll: slap it on and sell for 9 mil gold." ⭐ Superchat — OneShotLife (1,000 won) "60% single is 3 mil, but slap on 10% and it's 9 mil. Answer's obvious, right?" ⭐ Superchat — LetsGo (1,000 won) "Alright~ Let's do it~" Tons of forces egging me on to just go for it since it's already 10%.
A 60% scroll costs 2 mil, and even with a 60% success rate, applying it successfully only nets 3 mil on gloves.
But a 10% scroll is 1 mil, 10% success chance, and if it lands, sells for 9 mil.
The 1 mil in my hand, the 2 mil I missed out on, and the potential 9 mil I could gain.
A whirlwind of thoughts races through my head.
Of course, rationally, I shouldn't go for it.
With just one scroll, my odds of success are honestly 10%.
Too low a probability to bet my life on.
But that's exactly why the reward is so high.
Of course, there's some depreciation.
If a glove with one 10% applied sells for more than ten 1 mil 10% scrolls, it'd be infinite profit scam.
So a single 10% glove goes for 9 mil.
Depreciation is only about 1 mil, still an insanely high price.
In this mad era where used items barely exist, it's unthinkable otherwise.
"Cost of risk... yeah, think of it as lottery ticket money..."
Lottery: a tax on those bad at math.
But people know the odds are abysmal.
Reality's just too harsh; they can't survive without buying this sliver of hope.
Kill mages, kill mages, kill mages, kill mages.
No, snap out of it.
"Yeah, let's do it."
I headed to the thieves' city for gloves.
The animal hides I'd diligently gathered, a bit of gold.
Snagged white work gloves for dirt cheap.
Low level, usable by all classes—ultimate versatility. Slap on a 10% attack scroll, and it's worth a fortune.
From the most pleb item to peak capitalism.
No ritual this time.
True T-man, scoffs at superstitions, even chalks up his body changes to some undiagnosed illness.
But even that cold logic wavered—maybe that loss was bad juju from the thief who stole my offering.
Can't get robbed again.
Equipped the finished gloves and immediately applied the scroll.
The effect popping above my head.
Success.
Success.
"Oh! Fuck yes!"
— Viewer ssss — Viewer It actually procced — Viewer Kya, this is it — Viewer cccccccccc — Viewer Sex...? What? — Viewer Manager, streamer said something weird, kick pls — Viewer Major incident lololol — Viewer If not ssss then what is it? — Viewer Censor ssss to "oh my" pls — Viewer How good did it feel lololol — Viewer Not mutual lololol — Viewer How tf did 10% land — Viewer Odds of 10% landing: 10% — Viewer Fuckin Legend — Viewer Jeon rating — Viewer It actually stuck? — Viewer She's just blessed with luck — Viewer Gold spoon IRL, why hog all the game luck too — Viewer Oh my oh my... — Viewer So say "oh my" then? A brain-melting rush of pleasure and excitement made me overreact for a moment.
The chat window half-melted into chaos.
"Ahem, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Follow chat rules, please. No mentions of that incident—banned."
— Viewer Woo~ Abuse of power~ — Viewer No mentions of that incident—banned — Viewer Look at that blushing face lololol — Viewer Means it felt that good — Viewer Beautiful 10% proc, cheers — Viewer 10% procs are Yasuo's thing, right — Viewer Kya — Viewer One more black history for today — Viewer She's just cute, what black history Chat was a mess, but I felt great.
9 mil is serious money.
No more scraping by for gold in my game from now on.
"Successful Jeon the scrub flex. Time for wholesome support."
Picked 10 newbie viewers under level 20 and gave them about 100k gold each in wholesome aid.
Might sound small, but 100k gold is decent cash.
And my 10 mil gold? Massive.
Weapon scrolls max at 7 upgrades per class, and 10 mil buys 100 of my spear's 60% attack scrolls.
10% ones are even cheaper.
Weapon worries? Done forever.
Dad, I made it.
Even if it's another world.
Hard times over, happiness begins.
