Chapter Title: Refining the Red Dragon Bone Bow
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Earth Korea User Management Team.
Ha Im at a loss for words.
Oh Jin-su stared at the screen with a speechless expression.
Half the management team staff stood behind him, crowding around to watch.
A level 35 one-shotting a level 70 boss?
Thats only possible for this user. No one else could do it.
Obviously. This guys off the charts
The staff wagged their heads in amazement at the users feat.
But we only learned the location of that undiscovered dungeon because of his party members, right?
Has to be. Theyre the ones who found it in the first place.
The user had gotten intel from a mercenary and headed to the northern snowfields.
There was no way he couldve known the undiscovered dungeons location otherwise.
This was a case of incredibly good luck.
But do you think he really didnt know? Given what hes shown so far, he mightve figured it out
Whether he knew or not, the user completed the quest.
Next to the massive White Fang lay heavily mangled corpses.
The user had recovered all the stolen treasures through those bodies.
Now hell use that evolution stone, right?
Probably.
Oh Jin-su swallowed hard, his face tense.
Where would he use all those evolution stones?
On the bow, maybe?
What changes would come to the Red Dragon Bone Bow?
His heart raced with anticipation.
Level up.
All stats 1.
Bonus stat 1 granted.
Perfect.
Hed gained another level just from taking down the massive White Fang.

His detailed stats had risen significantly.
He still hadnt invested any bonus stats, so even at level 36, nothing had exceeded 60 yet.
Its fine. It wont be long.
Everything was for the future.
The moment his unallocated stats hit 100, Jeong Hoon would dump them all in.
Wow impressive.
Johannisberg and Canvas kept gasping in awe as they inspected the fallen bosses corpses.
Arrows had pierced them precisely between the eyes.
Critical hits that instantly shredded a Lv.70s defenses.
How is this a level 36 archer?
Insane He just hit 36, so the numbers arent wrong.
It wasnt raw firepower that took them down.
Hed struck their weak points dead-on, ending them in one shot.
Hitting such a narrow vital spot perfectly.
True mastery.
Um are you an archery athlete by any chance?
Johannisberg asked cautiously.
Anyone with this skill had to be a pro whod handled a bow in real life.
Not a stationary target like an archery bullseye, but a moving ones vital spot, nailed perfectly.
At this level, he could go national team right now.
No.
Jeong Hoon shook his head.
Archery?
The first time hed picked up a bow, peaceful sports like that were impossible.
Small nations had fallen, crumbling infrastructure shaking the world, neighboring countries reeling.
He still remembered it vividly.
Uh why the long face?
Johannisberg faltered at Jeong Hoons grim expression.
Had his question upset him?
Fortunately, Jeong Hoons face returned to normal quickly.
Nothing. Lets collect the rewards.
Time to settle the spoils.
Jeong Hoon approached the nearby corpse.
A small pouch gleamed in its bosom.
Quest completed.
Acquired Low-Grade Subspace Pouch.
Low-Grade Subspace Pouch.
Unlike players, NPCs carried these to store various items and goods.
Of course, they were so rare that they hardly appeared in the beginner zone.
Why would mere thieves have one?
It was stolen, just like the rest.
A roaring lion emblem etched in the pouchs center.
A noble house crest.
The noble house was defunct now, but Rex had gotten it by chance.
An item for a future quest. Better keep it.
First, he opened the pouch and transferred all the stolen forge equipment to his inventory.
Among them was Vulcans energy extractor.
Now he could refine the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
Oh! So this is what that thing drops?
Jackpot!
Johannisberg and Canvas were distracted by the massive White Fangs drops.
Jeong Hoon calmly pocketed the pouch and joined them.
Hed landed the killing blow, so the rewards were his.
Massive White Fang Pelt.
Massive White Fang Pelt
-Type: Material
-Rarity: Rare
-Pelt from a massive White Fang.
-Precious material for crafting armor. (Lv.60 Lv.100)
First, the White Fang pelt.
This bosss pelt couldnt be harvested separately.
The corpse rotted instantly upon death.
So only the pelt it dropped on death was usable.
Gulp.
Swallowing sounds came from behind.
No wonder. This pelt fetched 30 gold on the market.
30 gold for a single pelt.
But armor made from it had defenses incomparable to same-level gear.
Thats why it commanded such a price.
Even split three ways, thats 10 gold each.
And the drops werent just the pelt.
Massive White Fang Mana Core
-Type: Material
-Rarity: Rare
-Mana core from a massive White Fang.
-Can be refined and separated for weapon (staff, wand) crafting. (Lv.60 Lv.100)
The mana core.
It also went for 25-30 gold.
Staves and wands made from it would be handy up to level 120.
Gulp.
More gulps followed.
Jeong Hoon traded the items to them one by one.
Why the trade?
Johannisberg first.
To settle the rewards.
Jeong Hoon placed the Massive White Fang Pelt in the trade window.
Johannisbergs eyes widened.
Sh-shouldnt you sell it?
The pelt to you, and the mana core to the mage next to you.
The dungeons goal was recovering the thieves stolen goods.
The White Fang drops were useful, but not urgently needed.
So hed hand them to his hardworking companions.
Johannisbergs face lit up with gratitude as he accepted the pelt.
Thank you so much!
30 gold.
Enough to buy another rare sword.
Next, Canvas.
As a mage, the mana core would mean even more to him.
Sure enough, he teared up and hit accept.
Thank you!
Youre welcome. Now, keep todays hunt quiet.
They got the message instantly.
No worries!
Our lips are sealed!
Bribes worked wonders.
After the hunt, Jeong Hoon headed straight to the forge.
The wrecked forge had been thoroughly cleaned and restored.
Hm? Back already? Couldnt find them, huh?
Vulcan paused hammering and greeted him.
No. I found them.
Jeong Hoon pulled out all the weapons, armor, and Vulcans equipment from his inventory.
Vulcans eyes bulged, an exclamation mark popping over his head.
Quest completed.
Quest completed.
Vulcan can now fulfill the request.
Done.
Now he could commission it.
You found the weapons and armor?
Its real?!
The blacksmiths eyes welled up at the sight of their stolen works.
Theyd thought them lost forever.
Some were village NPCs commissioned pieces.
Failing to recover them meant 100 compensation.
The losses wouldve been catastrophic.
Saved from that, their gazes toward Jeong Hoon brimmed with goodwill.
Trust with all forge NPCs rises sharply.
Vulcan included.
Truly grateful! Right, you wanted to refine with an evolution stone?
Yes.
Can you show me the weapon?
Jeong Hoon nodded and drew the Red Dragon Bone Bow from his inventory.
The extraordinary bow made every blacksmith, Vulcan included, gape.
Unique-grade weapons were virtually nonexistent in Edenharc, so theyd never seen one.
Vulcans hands trembled faintly as he took itclearly a first for him.
Is it possible?
Vulcan pondered before speaking slowly.
Possible, but one stone wont cut it for this bow.
One evolution stone wasnt enough.
What about nine?
Jeong Hoon remembered.
Refining the Red Dragon Bone Bow took nine evolution stones.
Hm that should do it. But nines not easy to get. You sure?
Yes.
He laid out all nine evolution stones from his inventory.
Impressive
One week?
Thatll suffice.
Vulcan nodded and accepted the commission.
Blacksmith Vulcan accepts the request.
Refining of Red Dragon Bone Bow begins.
Time required: 168 hours.
Then Ill leave it to you.
Ill do my best!
Leaving the forge, Jeong Hoon went to the village square and met Ha-jin.
Hey, done!
Ha-jin beamed.
Hed finished faster than expected.
Found it quick?
Yeah! Dug the field for 30 minutes, and out came the pendant.
Nice?
30 minutes was lightning fast.
Yeah. Everyone started asking me where it was. Felt like a star.
Ha-jin grinned proudly, reliving his moment in the spotlight.
Told them?
Am I crazy? Leak my honey tip? Said it was luck and brushed it off.
Heh, good call. So, the items I asked for?
Big bro hooked you up. Added some of my gold for extrasbe grateful.
Ha-jin uploaded three items.
One was a one-handed sword.
Forgotten Mid-Tier Knights One-Handed Sword
-Type: One-Handed Sword
-Rarity: Rare
-Attack: 67
-Crit Rate: 1 1.5
-Durability Left: 100
-Special (1): Sword skills 5 attack power
-Special (2): While equipped, Passive: Valiant Spirit auto-activates
Jeong Hoon grinned.
Yes. This one-handed sword.
Thanks.
He felt grateful to Ha-jin for selling the evolution stone and procuring the items.
Hed meant to give him all his remaining gold.
But Ha-jin had bought a dagger and knucklers too.
All rare-grade weapons.
Id Dagger
-Type: Dagger
-Rarity: Rare
-Attack: 53
-Crit Rate: 1
-Durability Left: 100
-Special (1): 5 dagger attack power while equipped.
-Special (2): 0.2 dagger crit rate while equipped.
Solid options for rare.
Bronze Knucklers
-Type: Knucklers
-Rarity: Rare
-Attack: 56
-Crit Rate: 1 1.25
-Durability Left: 100
-Special (1): 5 knucklers attack power while equipped.
-Special (2): 0.5 knucklers crit rate while equipped.
A bit weaker than the Forgotten Mid-Tier Knights One-Handed Sword, but usable.
Good. Got the Forgotten Mid-Tier Knights One-Handed Sword.
This wasnt an ordinary sword.
Itll jump to 1,700 gold once its revealed as a material.
A 34x markup from its average 50 gold.
Of course, he hadnt bought it for profit.
Jeong Hoon planned to use it as material.
