Chapter Title: Master Enhancer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Master Enhancer
-Normal (Full Strength) 3,48510,000
-Rare (Full Strength) 2,51110,000
-Epic (Full Strength) 1,83910,000
-Unique (Full Strength) 1111,000
-Legendary (Full Strength) 1100
These were the counts when the commission was complete.
Normal, Rare, and Epic had all increased significantly, but the standout change was Unique.
The commissions had surged because he could now buy Unique enhancement stones cheaply with points.
That was the reason the Master Enhancer title was getting closer.
On top of that, the enhancement skill had leveled up considerably as Unique enhancements rose.
Transcendent Enhancement: Legendary
-Type: Enhancement
-Level: 9
-Grade: Legendary
-Allows equipment enhancement (up to Legendary max).
-Success rates per equipment (Normal 100, Rare 100, Epic 100, Unique 95, Legendary 54).
-On failure, equipment destruction chance: 0.
-On failure, equipment enhancement count does not decrease.
Reaching level 9 had boosted Unique success to 95, and Legendary to over half at 54.
-Held Points: 412,442p
Held points had also swelled to over 410,000.
This should be enough to start enhancing my gear.
Legendary equipment.
It was finally time to use the Legendary enhancement stones hed been saving meticulously, given their success rate was under half.
Jeong Hoon currently had 10 Legendary enhancement stones.
They were the reward from clearing Baals dungeon.
But that wasnt enough.
Welcome.
NPCs stationed throughout the streets.
Among them, he needed the one specializing in enhancement stones.
Nearby, an NPC named Lee Kang-hyuk handled those materials exclusively.
NPC Info
-Nickname: Lee Kang-hyuk
-Level: 100
-Job: Enhancement Helper
Enhancement Helper.
An NPC who sold only pure enhancement stones.
Got any Legendary enhancement stones?
Legendary enhancement stones had become purchasable through NPCs after the realization.
Yes. 300,000 points each.
300,000 points.
No small sum.
Even scraping together every point he had would only buy one.
For full strength, hed need at least 20 or moreand that assumed every enhancement stuck.
With Legendary success hovering just over half, the expected value meant attempting full strength would require 30 to 40 or more.
Impossible with my current points.
So, hed use another method.
Can I exchange?
Straight to exchanging.
Yes. Exchanges are gold only, at 10 points per gold.
Got it. Exchange all my gold, then.
After realization, gold was useless.
No need to spend it anywhere.
Time to convert gold to points.
You hold a total of 2.87 million gold. Silvers and coppers will be deleted.
2.87 million gold.
Even after blowing through the 1 million from Sa Jae-hyeok, hed amassed 2.87 million.
Exchanging it all would yield 28.7 million points.
Do it.
Jeong Hoon exchanged every bit of gold without hesitation.
Yes.
-Held Points: 29,112,442
Points jumped to 29.11 million.
Perfect.
This was plenty for full strength.
Jeong Hoon bought 90 Legendary enhancement stones.
Snagging 90 wiped out 27 million points.
-Held Points: 2,112,442
Down to 2.11 million remaining.
With the stones in hand, Jeong Hoon headed home.
Gotta swing by Hoyoung real quick.
His mother had gone to the building where Hoyoung stayed, leaving him alone.
Finally time to enhance me?
Mukho asked in a voice brimming with anticipation.
Jeong Hoon nodded.
Yeah. Bought 90 for that.
90 Legendary enhancement stones.
Plus the 10 from clearing Baals dungeon made 100 total.
This was more than enough to full-strength Mukho and Anima for sure.
Better start with me, though.
What? This bastards got a silver tongue all of a sudden?
Heh, thanks for the praise. Ive always been told I have a way with words.
Youre doing that on purpose, right? Wow, Master! Me first! Got it?!
No way. Youre at zero strength, Im at 1. Obviously faster to full-strength me first, no?
Bullshit.
It was about to devolve into a bickering match.
Quiet.
Jeong Hoon reined them in with practiced ease.
He swapped his worn Mukho for other armor.
Meaning hed enhance Mukho first.
Thats right!
Mukho cheered.
To lose to that guy.
Anima, on the other hand, sulked in a gloomy tone.
Youre both getting full strength. Why the sour grapes?
Do you know how crucial going second is?
I already did your 1 first, though.
Thats that, and this is this, right?
Fine? Settle for 1 then. After Mukho, Ill enhance the head ornament.
Second is fine!
Jeong Hoon nodded at the quick pivot.
Right?
Puhahaha! Idiot! Be grateful for second!
You damned!
Anima trembled with rage at Mukhos taunt.
Ha, maybe skip you both? Mukho stops at 1 for fairness.
No! I wont fight!
Yeah! Ill stop!
They frantically declared peace.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon began enhancing Mukho first.
Before long, all 100 Legendary enhancement stones were gone.
Spent entirely on enhancements.
20 Mukho
20 Dragon Anima Horn Anima
20 Head Ornament Containing the Spirit of the Divine Beast
The results exceeded expectations.
Hed anticipated full strength for Mukho and Anima, but hadnt banked on the head ornament.
Yet the 100th stone pushed the head ornament from 19 to 20, completing its full strength.
Achievement Unlocked! Completed First Legendary Equipment Full Strength Achievement! Granted 50,000 achievement points.
You now hold Legendary Full Strength Equipment (33).
Limit Released.
Now he had three full-strength Legendary items.
Good. With three Legendary pieces at full strength, we can move on.
Upgrading equipment from Legendary to Celestial.
It required full-strengthing Legendary gear three times to release the limit.
That was also why he couldnt quickly restore the head ornament despite its grade downgrade.
Baal wont show again for two months.
The half-year deadline spanned 10 dungeons over six months.
By Jeong Hoons memory, Baal wouldnt appear for about two months.
Graaah! Feels good!
Now full strength, a dark aura seeped from Mukho.
Feel good?
Why ask the obvious? Finally starting to reclaim a bit of my true form.
All options had surged dramatically.
Physical and magic damage reduction jumped from 30 to 50, and special abilities nearly doubled.
Still far from my full power. But Ill settle for this.
Anima was the same.
Attack power, once corrected to 1.2x by level, now hit 1.5x.
Special abilities overall saw massive boosts.
Perfect. Thisll get us into the dungeon Baal offers.
A dungeon that opened pre-regression but no one entered due to qualification requirements.
If his guess was right, itd be one of Baals proposed dungeons.
Conditions: Possess at least one Celestial-grade equipment item.
Total stats exceeding 1,500.
Ding-dong
Shortly after finishing enhancements, the doorbell rang.
Jeong Hoon went out and opened the door.
Youre here?
Yeah. Whats up?
Hyung-nim, Ive arrived!
The visitors to Jeong Hoons home were Ha-jin and Deok-gu.
Theyd come at his summons.
Got something to do together. Rest well?
It had been ages since the Great Demon Rakandra.
Slept like a rock and blew a ton of points. Our family never really played New World much.
Same here. Points piled up, so I fixed up the house. Everyone but mes still a beginner
That was why points mattered so much post-realization.
Everything from food, clothing, and shelter purchasable with points.
User-to-user point trades enabled point hunters already.
Every human on Earth could now grow.
Chaos was inevitable across all fronts.
Ha-jin and Deok-gu had been frantic ensuring family safety via points.
Good job. Today, well tackle that a bit.
Tackle?
Tackle what?
Ha-jin and Deok-gu tilted their heads.
Remember all the content after level 201?
Yeah.
Yes.
They nodded.
Thats why theyd grinded Main Road Wyverns like mad to hit 201, finish third job change.
Deok-gu had suffered through changing to Shadow Spirit.
Time to resume that content.
In this situation?
Uh its not a game anymore, though?
New World had become reality.
How to progress content now?
There are ways.
Jeong Hoon grinned.
New World was real, but normal dungeons spawned alongside the originals, creating countless new ones.
Meaning honey dungeons lurked everywhere too.
Jeong Hoon was gunning for those.
Worlds First Demon Monster Video! (Youll Regret Skipping!)
-Views: 108,221,232
Over 100 million views.
One video shattered 100 million.
It was still climbingwho knew how high?
Whens the next?
Thanks to you, we cleared the dungeon. Grateful.
Curious what HoneyTubes face looks like!
These views spanned Korea and abroad, hence the mix of native-language comments alongside Korean.
Jang Dae-hwi translated and read them one by one.
Wonder when the next stream is.
He now knew Jeong Hoons streaming rhythm.
Not for cash, but when he had something worth sharing.
Just wait for contact.
Whirr
Like right now.
Its here!
Jang Dae-hwi snatched the phone.
Oh, what? Were you waiting for my call?
Connected instantly, a slightly surprised voice came through the smartphone.
Obviously. Been waiting for you.
Whoa, thats creepy.
Please dont take it weird.
Anyway, you know why Im calling?
Of course! Time to stream?
Bingo. Starting soon, so post the notice. And edit right after it ends.
Got it. Whats the topic this time?
What would it be?
Another hunt?
Last one topped 100 million thisd be sweet too.
But the response veered totally off.
Mining.
