I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 51
◈ 051. [Free Exploration] Dungeon Shop
“So what do they sell?”
When I asked while squatting in front of the stall, Moo-myeong pointed at the items with his fingertips.
“It varies from time to time, but one thing is certain. The fact that they are rare things that cannot be obtained in the human world.”
I guess so. This dungeon is undoubtedly an alien demonic world.
There is a distance between this place and the human world in many ways.
However, it seems certain that the items are of high quality. At least, there were only things that could not be obtained in Crossroads.
‘There are a lot of really good things.’
I lifted one of the rings and examined it, groaning.
The items are all purple or golden. SR-SSR rating. Selling this for free at the store.
‘Normal merchant NPCs sell decent things, but this one has a particularly high level.’
This unknown guy might be a very useful NPC… … ?
As I began to seriously examine the items one by one, the party members also started snooping around and looking at the stalls.
As the number of onlookers increased, Mumyeong flicked the items with her fingertips.
“These are the things I gathered while wandering around the Lake Kingdom. The quality won’t be so bad compared to the outside world. Feel free to go and see.”
“How do I pay the price?”
“Outside money doesn’t mean much here.”
Moo-myeong took out a shining magic stone crystal from her bosom and showed it.
“Magic stones or magic cores. Let’s pay for it.”
Is it like that too?
Magic stones are a kind of settlement item. subject to exchange.
Either exchange it for imperial currency or use it when trading with random merchant NPCs in dungeons.
The problem is the situation now. Every time magic stones were gathered, they immediately sold them for imperial money, and there was nothing left.
‘Did I know that I would meet the Merchant NPC at such an early stage… … .’
All the expensive items in front of me looked like rice cakes in the picture.
First of all, I shook off all the magic stones and magic cores I had collected while progressing through this dungeon and pushed them forward.
“How much can you pay for this?”
“Hmm let’s see… .”
Moo-myeong took the three R-class mana cores and the magic stones in his pocket and weighed them for a while.
“To be honest, not much.”
Moo-myeong, who put it in his bosom, nodded.
“It is also my first transaction. Now that I know that you guys are more serious about raiding this place than I thought… … in the sense of cheering. Let me choose one item.”
“Are you an angel?!”
Unknowingly, I almost fell down and bowed.
For only this amount of magic stones, you can choose one SR~SSR grade finished product? Are you doing charity work?
“No two words! He said he would choose from among the items here! You know that national rule is to say two words with one mouth and get hit three times, right?!”
“Promises are not broken. Go ahead and choose.”
I swallowed my saliva and scanned the stall with a hawk’s eye. What should I choose to spread rumors that I chose well?
Meanwhile, the party members who were watching the negotiation process from behind began to appeal the items they wanted one by one.
“Your Highness, this old man doesn’t ask for much. But if you eat just one of these baeknyeonsam, you will feel 10 years younger… … .”
No, it’s not a tool that’s useful in combat. You’re choosing ingredients that are good for your health. What about this grandmother?
“Use your money to buy it.”
“Sheesh.”
Jupiter groaned and backed away, and this time Lucas cautiously handed out an item to me.
“Lord. How about these feather boots?”
It is a white boots item. After a rough appraisal, it is a shoe with the ‘explosive movement speed increase’ option attached. Whoa.
“You want to secure Lucas’ mobility?”
“no. I thought it would be better if the lord, not me, wore these boots to escape in case of an emergency.”
“Lucas… !”
Whoops, you bastard. To think of me first even in this situation. only you really
However, there is no need to consider my equipment as I am not the main combatant right now. reject this too.
Next was Damian. Damian hesitantly held out his choice.
“This is a potion generator… It seems to be.”
“Hoo?”
It is an item that looks like a portable water purifier.
Let’s appraise it. It really was an item that refilled potions at regular intervals. There’s everything.
“I thought having this in the temple would be of great help in the treatment of wounded soldiers.”
Certainly. Even if the refill cycle is a bit long, if the potion continues to be created, it will be of great help in managing injured soldiers.
However, if this is an irreplaceable item that can only be obtained now, it is not.
Anyway, the potion itself is something that can be supplied and demanded outside. It’s a waste to use this one-time exchange opportunity.
After explaining this point well and reading Damian carefully, I saw Evangeline, the last member of the party.
The guy took a few steps back from the seat and glanced around. I chinned.
“What are you not choosing?”
“I am a temporary member of this party.”
Evangeline shrugged.
“And I don’t really care about equipment. When I graduated, the headmaster gave me the finest cavalry spear and shield.”
“… oh.”
“Didn’t you say that the forge is repairing it? That’s enough.”
I froze with my mouth wide open.
Lucas, who was standing next to me, also started breaking out in a cold sweat.
‘right! He came here to farm mana cores to pay for his spear and shield breaking!’
I was blinded by the water desire in front of me, so I forgot about it. Holy shit.
Swallowing dry saliva, I whispered to Moo-myeong.
“Here, Unknown. if… Is there a spear or a shield… … ?”
“Hoo. I just have one set.”
Nameless dragged a cavalry spear and shield from the other side of the seat and placed them in front of me.
Brilliant golden color! It’s SSR grade!

“The energy of the monster… ! has disappeared… ?” – A colleague of a lancer > >
“Use it!”
Unbeknownst to me, it made a strange noise.
good night. Very good. A spear embossed with a snake or a dragon is cool, and a shield shaped like a huge fist is also cool. Performance is also dope. All good.
‘It’s a set equipment!’
Without one side, full performance cannot be achieved.
You have to get both… … You said you’d give me one
As I groaned as I alternated between the spear and the shield, Nameless smiled faintly.
“I said it at first. It’s during the One Plus One event. Do you remember?”
“Huh huh?”
“I will serve you. take both It’s a set item in the first place.”
My eyes widened. The strange woman in front of me began to appear not as an angel, but as light itself.
“Really… ?”
“okay. take it quickly It is of no use to me anyway.”
Nameless nodded, holding out a spear and shield in front of me.
“Instead, if you continue to explore this place diligently and occasionally see me, you can make a deal.”
Is it the kind of feeling that newbies let old people put their sleeves in so they don’t fold the game?
Anyway, there is no reason to refuse the offer. I smiled and received the spear and shield.
When I turned around, Evangeline was making a puzzled face.
I handed over the two pieces of equipment and confessed what happened yesterday.
“Actually, last night… .”
Evangeline’s expression became even more strange when I said that all of her equipment was destroyed in my fist and that this was compensation.
“I don’t understand.”
“uh? what?”
“Yesterday’s fight was the one I bet first. To put it bluntly, the sunbae-nim was just fighting back against me.”
“Um, but we had a two-on-one pincer attack… .”
“If you were attacked, what does the number matter?”
Evangeline did not receive the spear and shield and pushed them away.
“I lost in the first place, and my equipment was damaged in the process. Damage is also my responsibility. You don’t need to take care of me like this.”
But I had no intention of leaving either. I grinned.
“Then, consider this not compensation, but a gift from Third Prince Ash.”
“yes?”
“It’s a graduation gift from the prince himself to Evangeline Cross, a junior at the academy. Surely you’re not going to refuse a gift from the imperial family?”
And also for Marquis Cross, who is dedicated to the city.
I can’t praise her for that feat, but I’ll feel guilty if I leave her equipment broken and eaten.
Of course, I won’t say this out of my mouth, but… … .
“Anyway, don’t take it out, just take it! Where are you?! If an adult gives it to you, you’ll just say thank you and receive it, eh!”
“… .”
When I reluctantly pushed it out, Evangeline, who had no choice but to accept it, looked up at me and then bowed down.
“Thank you, senior. I will write well.”
“Draw and draw. Write well.”
I watched with a smile as Evangeline put on her new gear. I feel a little better now.
Then Jupiter, who was standing next to him, pointed at himself.
“Me, Your Highness? Do you have any presents?”
“They give you a salary.”
I’ll take care of the law items when they come out, so stay still.
This time Lucas pointed at himself.
“Me, lord?”
“You made me armor… .”
I even organized your equipment farming plan separately, so don’t worry and wait.
Finally, Damian smiled.
“I’m fine, Prince!”
of course it should be fine You gave me a gun a while ago. I’ll give you a few more in the future. It’s terribly expensive too.
“Hey, merchant man. Then give me one of those.”
The shopping was over after I finally bought Baeknyeonsam with the Magic Stone that Jupiter had kept secretly.
“Heh heh heh… If you eat only this guy… … .”
Jupiter hugged Baeknyeonsam tightly in his arms and smiled sinisterly.
Hey grandma, you can’t rejuvenate yourself by eating that, so don’t expect too much.
After the business was over, Moo-myeong began to organize the stalls. I hesitantly spoke to such a nameless person.
“cotton. Would it be all right if I ask you a question?”
“huh? of course. Anything I can answer.”
I asked cautiously to the unknown who nodded happily.
“You know ‘The Pied Piper’?”
“The Pied Piper? Who is that?”
“He is a man dressed as a minstrel wearing a black cone hat. He played the flute to control the monsters. It looks like you’re from here.”
“ah… .”
Moomin thought deeply and nodded slowly.
“That man.”
“You know?”
“There are quite a few oddballs wandering around the bottom of the lake here, but this guy in particular… famous I know very well.”
I remembered the bard who almost ruined the game by breaking into the previous stage.
It was an NPC that didn’t have much presence in the game. Are you saying you’re famous here?
“If you keep moving forward, there is a fairly large safe zone between zones 3 and 4.”
Nameless pointed to the road ahead.
“It’s a place where you can hear several people who are at least sane in the dungeon under this lake. It is a place that people often call ‘base camp’.”
base camp.
where i know It is a safe base that can be opened by clearing up to Area 3.
It is a place where NPCs gathered and maintained, and it is a base where various facilities and merchants are gathered.
The space is also large, and it becomes a bridgehead for later dungeon raids.
“There is a good chance that the man you are looking for will also stop by there. Even if you’re not there, you can get information from others. Of course, there are still some ways to break through to get there, but… … .”
Anonymous looked at us and nodded.
“I think you can come without any problems.”
Moo-myeong, who had packed all her belongings, shed her eyes.
“Then next time. Let’s see it live.”
And disappeared into the darkness beyond.
“To be a merchant in a place like this… He is a fun person.”
Damian muttered in an innocent voice.
However, the rest of the party members were clearly wary. Lucas murmured without taking his sharp gaze.
“As expected, that woman… I can’t believe it.”
“why?”
“It is too strong.”
Lucas turned his gaze to the spot where the unknown had stayed.
Five steam golems completely destroyed. no six.
The sword marks left on the fragments were undoubtedly one person’s. Nine out of ten people must have done it all.
“That attitude of being relaxed even after dealing with this alone… It is not usually strong.”
No, you can do this much easily if you set up the exclusive equipment fully in the third year of strategy, hit the highest level, and finish the special work.
At this point, it’s only natural that they look like monsters. But in my heart, I classified Moo-myeong as a ‘friendly’ NPC.
‘A guy who gives away SSR set items can’t be a bad guy.’
Even if he’s a bad guy, if he gives me good gear, he’s a good bad guy.
Shaking off my hands, I stood up and saw a large stone building on the other side of the plaza.
“Okay, let’s go catch the boss mob now.”
The next area was the boss room.
‘I have to catch the boss and farm the boss treasure chest!’
It sounds obvious, but it’s the best time to eat temp!
