Chapter 102: Equipment Skills 1
Translator: - - Editor: - -
They had already pushed through the second tower, so if they wanted to, they could head to the castle. The enemies had no more towers and wouldn"t try to meet the allies on the road.
Artlan thought about the situation.
"I will go back and bring some minions with me."
Nudra had his hands behind his back.
"I need to see Bebe."
"Go ahead."
The others had already been to Bebe and upgraded their equipment, but Nudra hadn"t had a chance to go there yet. If Nudra upgraded his equipment, they would be better prepared to deal with the enemies.
Nudra looked at Junhyuk.
"Are you coming with me?"
"Yes, I will."
It wouldn"t be a good idea to encounter enemy heroes on their way to their own castle, so he would use the time to visit Bebe, and Sarang had delivered a deathblow and picked up an item that she needed to sell.
Junhyuk and Sarang decided to follow Nudra to Bebe, and Halo, Vera and Diane would take the minions to where the enemies" second tower used to stand. They had to hurry and get to Bebe before the enemies showed up. Artlan would also have to hurry. They promised to meet before the enemy and went their ways.
Nudra demonstrated his absurd speed. To follow him, Junhyuk and Sarang had to run so fast they smelled their own breaths. So, sooner than expected, they arrived at Bebe"s Dimensional Merchant Store.
Bebe was looking at a screen the size of a hand hovering in midair when he saw the group and smiled.
"Are you here to get some equipment?"
Nudra nodded, walked up to him and dropped some equipment on the counter. There were four pieces of gear, and Nudra extended his hand.
Bebe pushed the plate forward, checked the amount and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
"Of course! I"ve been saving up for it!"
"As you already know, it will cost you 250,000G."
"Give it to me."
Nudra paid for the item, and Bebe pulled out a pair of gloves, each of them embroidered with dragons.
"Finally, the Dragon Gloves meet their owner!"
Nudra put the gloves on and made a fist. At that moment, a visible, dragon-shaped aura surrounded his body.
Junhyuk was surprised and asked, "What is that?"
Bebe displayed clear salesmans.h.i.+p and answered, "They are called the Dragon Gloves and not just anyone can use them. The person has to attack using skills, and it doubles that person"s attack power and increases the damage."
It meant that Nudra could attack with power incomparable to before. With the gloves on, he moved his body lightly.
"If you want something, get it now."
Junhyuk wanted to find out how much money he had, and the display showed 35,240G. He had earned a lot. He thought about it for a moment and, finally, placed his Frozen Rune Sword on the counter.
"I want the 5th upgrade."
"That"s 16,000G."
Junhyuk nodded, and his earnings decreased to 19,240G. Bebe poured the s.h.i.+ning powder on it and hammered it. Then, Junhyuk inspected it.
After the 5th upgrade, the damage had increased by twenty-five, so it now dealt eighty-five damage, and whenever he hit an enemy, a 9 percent debuff would be applied. That meant that he could decrease his enemies" attack and movement speeds even more. It was worth the money.
Junhyuk had nothing left to do, so he looked at Sarang.
She had killed Bater and picked up an item. It looked like a gear nut, but it was a ring. However, it was so big that she could use it as a bracelet. The ring"s buff related to strengthening defense, so it didn"t really fit with Sarang"s persona.
Sarang extended her hand and asked, "Could I check to see how much money I have?"
"Of course!"
Bebe"s eyes widened as he looked at the sum.
"Whew! You have earned a lot," he said, smiling at her.
"You"ve become an expert. Congratulations on becoming a VIP at our store."
"What?"
Junhyuk shook his head and asked, "How much do you have?"
She laughed and answered, "39,500G."
Junhyuk looked surprised, and Bebe laughed and said, "Right, what do you need?"
Sarang thought for a moment and placed the nut she had gotten from Bater on the counter.
"How much would you give me for it?"
Bebe looked at it and laughed hard.
"Bater died and dropped it?"
"Yes."
"He is definitely not feeling well," he said and picked it up. "It"s called Makia"s Nut, and every tank wants one. It"s 150,000G, so I"ll give you 75,000G for it."
Junhyuk"s eyes widened. It was a really an expensive item, and Sarang was also surprised by the price.
Bebe continued calmly, "If you sell it, you"ll have 114,500G. There are a lot of useful items above 80,000G."
Sarang didn"t know what to do, and Junhyuk said, "She needs an armor. Do you have any recommendations?"
Bebe pulled out his book.
"Of course! As long as you have pure gold coins, you may purchase items beyond your imaginations."
He opened the book, and an infinite number of armors came on display.
"It"s different from what you showed me before..."
"Of course! I only showed you the basic suits of armor."
"If I upgrade my armor, will it yield similar results?"
Bebe just smiled and didn"t answer him.
Junhyuk frowned, and Bebe said calmly, "These items are expensive enough to have buffs that can"t be gained from upgrades."
Junhyuk smacked his lips and inspected the list.
"She is a magician. Show her something befitting her."
"Right."
Bebe closed the book and opened it again, still displaying numerous armor suits. He pointed to a few of them.
"What about these for a magician?"
Junhyuk saw that the suits showed a lot of skin and frowned. Armor was very important in the Dimensional Battlefield, and he wanted to decline anything that showed a lot of skin.
"Do you have anything else?"
"I do."
Bebe displayed two suits of armor.
"Look at this one. This is the Blue Core Armor. It reflects 10 percent of damage taken, and has defense and magic defense of a hundred. It also increases the user"s mana pool. It costs 100,000G."
It was really expensive, but it had astonis.h.i.+ng defense. Reflecting enemy damage was also an absurd buff. It was expensive, but it was worth the price.
Bebe pointed to another armor.
"This is the Red Core Armor, and people who want to be on offense wear it. It increases you magical powers. It increases magic damage by fifty and decreases the enemy"s health regeneration by 75 percent. It also increases defense and magic defense by a hundred. It costs 110,000G."
With wide eyes, he asked, "It decreases the opponent"s health regeneration rate?"
"Not always. It"s something the Red Core Armor can do much in the same way as your jumping skill."
Jean Clo had a high level self-healing power, and Sarang could use this armor to decrease its effectiveness by 75 percent, allowing her to fight him.
"These are nice items, so why don"t people buy them?"
"These are nice, but the effect only works once per hour. It all depends on your opponent, and whether or not they have a healing power. The robes work better on magicians than the armor to increase their damage."
Bebe kindly explained it all, but Junhyuk was interested in the Red Core Armor. He looked at Sarang, and she had a smile going from ear to ear.
"I will get whatever you recommend."
"Then, let"s get the Red Core Armor and fight Jean Clo and his healing power."
From Jean Clo"s point of view, the Red Core Armor had the ability to be damaging. Sarang laughed and extended her hand.
"I will get the Red Core Armor."
"Right."
She put her hand on the plate and paid for it, leaving her with 4,000G.
Junhyuk interjected.
"Give her the VIP discount."
Bebe laughed bitterly at him.
"You are smart. When you pay the full price, I usually keep the difference."
Junhyuk"s eyes narrowed slightly.
"By the way, when I bought the black armor, you charged me full price."
"It"s in the past. There"s nothing I can do," Bebe said and pushed the plate forward. "Put your hand on it."
Sarang placed her hand on it, and 5,500G were added back up. Her total was now 9,500G, and she smiled for having saved some money.
Bebe whistled.
"Don"t stare at me like that! Benefits come only to those who look after themselves."
Junhyuk reminded himself to be more careful next time. When he upgraded his basic swords, one of them had received a magical enhancement, and he had not been ent.i.tled to a VIP discount for that, so he didn"t bother when he bought his armor.
From now on, he would always ask for the discount. There was no one he could trust in this world.
Bebe pulled out a helmet from underneath the counter, snapping Junhyuk"s attention back. He thought about the time Bebe had left him naked and he couldn"t handle looking at Sarang like that. However, he turned back around when Bebe simply placed the helmet on her head.
"Can you do it without making her naked?"
Bebe looked at Sarang putting the entire Red Core Armor suit on and tapped her helmet once she was done. Then, he lifted his finger away from it, simply pulling out the novice armor in the process, like magic.
Junhyuk was surprised by it, and Bebe said calmly, "I just can"t take off women"s clothes."
Sarang looked at Junhyuk and giggled.
"Did you want to see me naked?"
"What are you talking about? I was trying to hide you from Nudra."
Nudra ran over and punched him.
Wham!
It was a light punch, but Junhyuk still went down. He must have had his brains scrambled because he was seeing two Nudras, and Sarang cast her healing magic on him.
As the green powder covered him, he recovered and told Nudra, "I almost got killed!"
"Do you want to die? You are the first person to insult my honor and survive!"
Junhyuk tried to avoid speaking to him any further.
"No, I don"t want to die."
He turned around, and Nudra scoffed and focused on his meditation. Sarang was asking Bebe some questions.
"Is it possible to do a complex engraving?"
"It"s double the price."
"Do it for me."
Sarang paid the cost. While Junhyuk was looking, Bebe did something else that seemed dishonest. He twirled his finger on Sarang"s helmet, and a large robe of light covered her body.
"What is that?"
"It"s a service. I don"t have changing rooms for ladies."
She was wearing a robe of light like a magical girl, and he had instead gotten naked in front of her.
"Next time, do that for me as well."
"Men don"t get any service, unless you pay."
Bebe finished the complex engraving on her.
"Check it."
Sarang summoned the Red Core Armor and smiled. The armor accentuated the body and showed her curves. They didn"t know who had designed it, but whoever it was had high fas.h.i.+on sense.
She walked over to him and smiled.
"Big brother, do you want to see it?"
Junhyuk touched it to inspect it. She was showing off the item"s attributes, and he could see the buffs descriptions.
