“Weapon… Special Grade…!”

Leeha did not even notice the creepy description. It was a bit disappointing that it was a two-handed pole.

This would have been great if it was a one-handed sword, which is what most users use! It would have been good even if it was a two-handed sword… No, it would still be popular if it was a pole.

Many jobs used poles. It was enough for them to use a two-handed pole, they were dealers, not tankers.

Anyway, its value is worth more than its name.

‘And it gives +6 to agility. Hehe, it also increases the critical chance. This will be worth quite a bit of money.’

Leeha stuck out his tongue at the weapon’s performance.

He knew that a musket would not come out because it was not an item related to the monster, but seeing the item’s performance, Leeha couldn’t help but be sad.

It would have been nice if a musket with a similar effect came out.

‘I want to use it but… it needs 150 strength and 110 agility… I couldn’t, even if I wanted to.’


His agility was sufficient, but his strength was not enough.

Leeha quickly calculated the minimum level while looking at the requirements. What would be the minimum level if one needs 150 strength and 110 agility?

‘If you invest purely into those two stats, one could use it at level 48.’

If one only looked at the item and prepared from level 1, one could use it at level 48. With one or two achievements, it may be possible at level 45 or 46.

‘But its attack power is that of a monster’s?’

How fast was the attack speed of melee weapons? Two-handed weapons were a bit slower than one-handed weapons, but they were still fast.

At least 20 attacks per minute.

‘If one has a 112 attack power and can attack 20 times per minute…  the cumulative attack would be 2,240’

It was close to 10 times the attack power of a musket for 1 minute.

‘This is crazy…. How much would it cost if I sold it… ‘

Hesitatingly, Leeha looked at the next item.

“Kuhuhuhu, huehuehue.”

It was a necklace with small teeth stuck in it.

[Special Kobold Chieftain’s Bone Necklace]

Defense: 30

Effect:

Strength +3

Agility +4

Critical Rate +10%

Requirements:

Strength: 40 or higher

Agility: 50 or higher

Description: A necklace made of bones that is protected by mana. Let’s not think about what kind of creature the bones belonged to. The original owner of this item is the deputy commander of the second Human-Demon War.

Additional Effect:

Set effect 3: Fire Resistance +10%

Set effect 4: Fire Resistance +15%

Set effect 5: Fire Resistance +20%

“It’s special again!”

Leeha got goosebumps.

It was indeed a Chieftain! Truly a survivor of the second Human-Demon war!

Leeha wanted to kiss Hijuit-Ka’s body. How many items did he pick up that could easily exceed 5 million won in value?

‘It’s totally like… winning the lottery!

‘It’s regrettable that I only won second place instead of first place.’

Still, it was something. In addition, the necklace could be worn by Leeha. A necklace with ten bones the size of a human finger. It didn’t look like it but…

‘But this ability is really… ‘

It was perfect for Leeha.

It gives a little bit of agility and strength. And even increases the critical chance!

When catching normal monsters, there were times that it was impossible to target a weak point, so it would be perfect for such occasions.

‘It’s a pity that I could not enjoy the set effect.’

Leeha licked his lips and wore the necklace.

After all, there he only had two items from the Chieftain’s set, but he could not equip the Eonwoldo, and when one equipped 5 items, the critical rate would increase by 20%.

Looking at the necklace and the Eonwoldo, it would increase the critical chance by 10% per item.

‘If I collect five sets of the Chieftain’s set, wouldn’t it increase the critical rate by 70%? Doesn’t that mean that almost every attack would be a critical hit?’

If assassins or melee dealers use it, they would deal explosive damage.

Leeha walked wearing the necklace made of bones. He went to the iron mines, which was the warehouse of the kobolds

‘What’s in here…?”

It was said that it was the place where the raid team wanted to attack. Most of the kobolds were dead, so there weren’t many, but Leeha expected the loot to remain.

“Ka- Kaa-!”

“Hmm, it’s pretty dark. Bayonet Charge.”

“Ka! Ka- ak!”

Leeha grabbed his musket and killed the approaching kobold. With the kobold getting weakened by 50%, it could not even react and was pierced in the stomach by the mana bayonet.

Even Leeha, as the one assaulting, was more concerned by the structure of the cave more than the kobolds…

Small torches were intermittently hung along the winding path.

‘As expected, there were not many kobolds. They probably went out with Hijuit-Ka.’

The more he went along the path, the more he felt fear of the terrain.

‘Imagine if three kobolds came out of the corner at the same time… ‘

Leeha felt that there were many restrictions on a musketeer choosing a battlefield.

Now that the kobolds were weakened and their numbers were few, he could use bayonet charge to deal with them, however, what would have happened normally?

What if there were several kobolds in this narrow burrow?

‘It could have been dangerous. And my vision is limited.’

Because it was a winding path. He was in a maze-like cave that turned every 5 to 7 meters right now.

It was a bit of a disadvantage for ranged dealers, but for a musketeer, it was hell.

‘I’m sure there will be a dungeon exploration like this later…  I’ll have to research a way.’

After going a little further, he found the warehouse.

“As expected. That’s why high-levels did not come.”

No, there might have been other rewards in the form of a quest, but all Leeha could see were a pile of herbs, smoked meat, and salt.

It was the same everywhere he looked.

‘These are all sundries…  tsk. I’ll just collect them and go back.’

There were only sundries, but it was not like Leeha to just leave them behind. It was because, even if he did not sell the good equipment and only sold the sundries, it would be enough to pay for the price of gunpowder and bullets.

“Okay, I got it all.”

Leeha reloaded his musket. There were still 20 minutes until the kobolds got stronger again. It was enough time to deal with the kobolds that would be a threat later on and get out of the village.

“Haa, haa, haa.”

Leeha ran continuously.

He could see the city wall and the spire, from a distance. Right, how many days had it been? It had been no less than three days, but he did not expect how welcoming the capital, Aelstock, looked.

‘I don’t know if Matsushige and Mame Hana were able to get down safely.’

Leeha thought of the two Japanese who were higher level than himself.

The two of them went down Sheymoore Mountain and returned to town, but were nowhere to be seen. It was difficult to know whether or not they were online because they were not added as his friends.

‘Now then… Should I do what I originally planned?’

Leeha checked the quest that had been delayed because of the things that happened. The real reason he had come to the capital.

[Holy Grill Capital Branch Opening]

Description: The food is ready. The smell of meat from Candle Castle is the best on the continent. This is Madame Lou’s last request, to open the second branch of Holy Grill in Aelstock, the capital city.

‘You could deliver it to my younger sister who lives in the capital together with the letter inside. It won’t be easy. But we trust Ha Leeha-ssi.’

Description: Deliver the lunchbox and letter to Madame Chu in Aelstock, the capital of Fibiel Kingdom, within a month (13 days).

Success reward: Invitation to the opening ceremony of the second branch of Holy Grill.

Failure condition: Exceeded deadline, lost the lunchbox.

Penalty for failure:

Intimacy with Madame Lou -50%,

Intimacy to all NPCs in Candle Castle -40%,

Intimacy to all NPCs in Aelstock -30%

‘There are only 13 days left?’

He still hasn’t decided.

Would he give up the quest and just eat the lunchbox?

Leeha still hasn’t decided, although he thought that he would have organized his thoughts and made a decision by the time he arrived at the capital. Or would he give the lunchbox to Madame Ju?

‘Should I sell it or not?’

If I was going to sell it, I should start working on it now. He should be able to get the best price if he put it up on the auction site in advance and induced enough competition.

‘A lunchbox that could permanently increase strength by 5, agility by 10, and constitution by 5… ‘

Kijeong told Leeha that he should sell it, and…  that selling was the best thing to do because eating it would be inefficient. From the beginning, Kijeong didn’t have the slightest interest in clearing the quest… so what should he do?

‘It’s only natural that the auction participant would be excited if they saw the lunchbox for sale.’

Because the lunchbox could raise a lot of stats. In terms of value, Leeha estimated that it would be equal to one achievement of Grade A or A+, or a ‘Hall of Fame’ achievement of Grade B+.

‘I’m a musketeer that does not have anything or anyone, I am a gunman, so I was able to collect these strange achievements because other people didn’t.’

Many people might not even know that there was such a thing as the Hall of Fame.

An additional effect could only be given to the first three players for each achievement. The cumulative number of subscribers was 100 million, and the trend continued to grow. It was not something that ordinary users of ordinary jobs could encounter.

‘If only the reward for bringing it to Madame Ju is clear, I could decide more quickly.’

Invitation to the opening ceremony.

What would Leeha do with that? If it was something like giving away 10% of monthly sales at the second Holy Grill branch, Leeha would be able to calculate.

‘Of course, this was what Middle Earth was aiming for.’

User concerns and confusion… Leeha sometimes wondered if Middle Earth was conducting a wide-scale psychological experiment on users.

‘Anyway, it doesn’t feel great.’

Leeha smiled as he entered the western gate of Aelstock, the capital of Fibiel Kingdom.

“We’re going to hunt for bats and spiders! We’re bringing an expert!”

“Return scroll on sale. It’s cheap, so bring one!”

The front of the gate was always bustling. Leeha heard an attention-grabbing cry.

“Who will go hunting for kobolds! There would be no distractions on Sheymoore Mountain, and the kobolds are weak!”

“They can get weak?”

“I don’t know either. I got a call from a friend and they said it looked like a kobold patch. I’m level 32 and I’m going to the top of Sheymoore Mountain to hunt.”

“Heo…  Isn’t that where the kobold village is? Don’t people usually go there at level 40?”

“That’s true. But right now, I got a call and they said that it looked like there was a commotion. Are you going too? What level are you?”

“33.”

“Heol, I’m 31. Let’s form a party. We have to go before people gather.”

Leeha suppressed his laughter, which was about to burst when he heard the conversation between the warrior-looking user and the crossbowman.

‘Right, come to think of it, there were some users who were coming up when I was going down the mountain.’

The low-level users went to the village after hearing the rumor. The kobolds in the village weakened by 50% for 1 hour due to the death of Hijuit-Ka, so they must have been easy to hunt.

But it was only within an hour after Hijuit-Ka’s death.

When had Leeha arrived at Aelstock?

‘By the time I came down from Sheymoore Mountain, the kobolds must have returned to their original state.’

Leeha looked at the two users running hard.

He wished for them to not die in vain.

“Phew, I think this place is unique in the capital.”

Deep in the capital, Aelstock, a building stood that looked shabbier than the houses in Sheymoore Village. Leeha stood in front of the Brown Bess Musket Academy.

‘Now, if I just go in and complete the quest, the hidden quest-’

Kachik, Baaang—!

Aaaaaah!

A sudden noise entered Leeha’s ear. Gunshot? In the academy?

“Uwaaaak! Y-you! Do you think you’re going to be okay with this?”

“Hey, run, run!”

The door to the academy opened and two men ran out.

“I-i-if you make a ruckus in the capital-!”

Baaang—!

Another gunshot rang out.

“Just sell, Browless! Do you still think you’re a hero?! You’re already debtor trash! If you don’t pay back quickly-.”

Baaaang—-!

“Kuwaaak!”

“Boss! Boss!”

The bulky man started to move, supporting the bald man. Blood was dripping from the thighs of the bald man called ‘Boss’.

‘Fast… !’


Of course, Leeha wasn’t admiring the speed at which the bald man ran away.

It was between the three gunshots that Leeha was shocked, to the point that he was not able to move from his spot.

It only took a little over 20 seconds for the three gunshots to be shot.

‘One shot took less than 10 seconds? How many people did he shoot with?’

Leeha looked at the man standing at the front door of the Brown Bess Musket Academy.

A long-brimmed fedora hat that covered the face, but with the blue feather on top of the hat, Leeha could tell who it was.

“You’re already here, rookie.”

Browless’s rapid-fire was really fast.

In his hand was a black musket that seemed to absorb even the sunlight.
