I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 84

Episode 085

The ‘boss’ frowned, as if he was very displeased with the secretary who kept asking annoying questions instead of taking care of things.

Frustrating things. When these guys become useless, I’ll have to change the water.

“You said they had a lot of money, right?”

“yes. I guess Guam compensated me a lot so I had quite a bit of money. Hunter Son Moa also lives in the penthouse.”

“hmm. “Send someone in the name of the Dungeon Management Office.”

We’re keeping watch just in case, but there’s nothing we can do on the other side anyway.

However, what I am concerned about is Yu Eun-dam.

That kid who doesn’t know where he’s going might end up trying to do an unexpected prank.

“Watch carefully to make sure no one approaches. Make sure there are no unexpected situations.”

“yes. “I will ask the surveillance team again.”

“Watch for a while, and if nothing happens, cancel the watch and return the personnel to the sky. Anyway, if you give me some money, it will become quiet. No matter how much money you have, the more money you have, the better. “Pay attention and stab me.”

“yes.”

The ‘president’ took another sip of his drink and opened his mouth with a slightly cheerful expression.

“But are you sure Hunter Son Moa is dead?”

“yes. “I also put someone in the penthouse just in case.”

“okay. good job. Keep an eye on it and make sure there are no unexpected situations. “Go now.”

The secretary, who was about to head to the door, suddenly stopped at the ‘boss” gesture.

And after much hesitation, I asked a careful question.

“By the way.”

“what.”

“What if Hunter’s family continues to bother you even if you give them money?”

“joy.”

A cruel smile fell on the mouth of the ‘president’ who snorted.

The torn dark red lips spoke with contempt.

“If money doesn’t work, nothing works.”

There is nothing in this world that money and violence cannot do.

Hearing this as if it were obvious, the secretary hurriedly bowed and left the room.

All that remains is the ‘boss’, who drinks with satisfaction.

Everything went smoothly.

* * *

Today, I was sitting at a table next to the lake and eating horn.

The left horn of King Vargis has been consumed.

When you consume the left horn of King Vargis, the power of King Vargis is passed on to you.

The S-class skill 〈Chungwang Mutation〉 (Active) has been released.

Physical strength has improved.

I finally ate it all.

It’s been a week since I stayed in this cabin and ate only horns.

I did it.

He succeeded in eating all of Vargis’ horns in one week.

Considering that it took nearly a month to get the Horn of Kergis, you might be mistaken for thinking that I have become a huge glutton.

To begin with, Vargis’ horn was only long and very thin, so its actual volume was about one-fifth of Kergis’ horn.

I did it anyway.

It’s over!

Now I can live and eat food like a real person. Ugh.

– Did you get the skill?

As I collapsed on the table and enjoyed the moment of emotion, Seo Ji-han joined in with a calm voice.

I shyly gathered my emotions and raised my head.

“yes. “I got Chungwang Byeon.”

– good. S-class?

“yes. And my physical strength has also improved.”

– Good. Even if magical power depletion occurs in the future, it will be less difficult. Even if you get hit, it will hurt less. You can think of your stamina and defense as having gone up a bit.

Seo Ji-han looked happier than me.

The only abilities that I have not been corrected for with this are agility and perception.

Well, it doesn’t matter because this can be improved with an agility increase potion made by refining the core of Evitanis.

“Anyway, I thought Vargis was persistent, but he gave me a stamina stat.”

– They say centipedes are good for health.

Seo Ji-han chuckled, making a sound that I couldn’t tell if he was joking or serious.

I looked at him with complicated feelings and shook my head.

“But it’s an S-class transformation skill. Is there even a need for S-level transformation skills?”

– A high grade is always good. Because destruction techniques of a lower level will not work. If you have a transformation cancellation skill or have the ability to block skill casting, the transformation skill can also be canceled. However, since your skill is S-level, the transformation cancellation skill is not affected unless it is S-level.

“S-class skills can only be obtained from boss monsters, so in reality, there is no one who can unlock my transformation skill.”

– that’s right. If it was an S-level invisibility skill, I could have just ignored the invisibility removal item. The highest the item grade should be, it would be A grade.

Seo Ji-han explained, raising his chin and feeling smug.

I’m the one with S-level skills, but I don’t know why Seo Ji-han is getting arrogant.

– In addition, as I said before, the higher the grade, the better the skill efficiency. Your magic power level is so low that if your magic power level was high, even the boss monster would be a one-shot hit.

“That’s right.”

There is already a record of piercing Vargis’ torso with one blow.

Anyway, since it is a skill that specializes only in destructive power without any additional effects, the damage alone is amazing.

– Magic power can be easily boosted with potions.

It’s magic power.

The income gained over the past week was not just inheriting the Chung King mutation skill.

Thanks to the abundance of material items and production slave Kim Yeong-gil’s thought body that worked diligently day and night, various types of ability-increasing potions and items were produced.

But unfortunately, not all potions were completed to S level.

Perhaps because Kim Young-gil’s skill was A-level, A-level potions and items were sometimes created as failures.

In the end, I could only obtain a total of 15 S-class potions.

2 S-class agility increase potions, 9 S-class magic increase potions, 2 S-class strength increase potions, 2 S-class stamina increase potions.

And many failed A-level healing potions and ability-boosting potions.

Since I don’t have to use it yet, I’m putting it in my inventory just in case, and Seo Ji-han is Seonghwa, telling me to drink it quickly.

It seems he is very curious about the effect of the potion.

– Let’s eat just one. If it’s something like a permanent ability increase effect, there’s nothing to lose.

“Later.”

Even if it is just a class A ability increase potion, it is a treasure that is one of only a few in the world.

Most people probably don’t even know about the existence of S-class potions.

Probably only people who bought the S-class hack I uploaded without knowing it before would know that.

– It’s common for you anyway. Just try one.

Seo Ji-han repeatedly asked.

Since you’re saying this, I guess you’re really curious. Should I try one?

no.

Still, this is such a precious item…

– If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Seo Ji-han read my expression and gave up with a sullen look.

Ah, if this continues, it will be difficult to refuse again.

An unusually listless face and droopy shoulders.

It’s clear that it’s 100% an act, but the problem is that I can’t just ignore it even though I know it.

“Ah, I get it. I’ll try one. “I’m going to try it.”

– really?

Anyway, there are no foxes.

But at the same time, I feel a little sad.

It makes me feel bad to see someone four years older than me pestering me about the effects of the potion.

Even if the age difference isn’t that much, he’s older than me.

“They say they can grant the wishes of the living, but what’s wrong with granting the wishes of the dead?”

Although he spoke in a pompous manner, Seo Ji-han’s face became a little depressed.

– Do you know that you sometimes treat me like your ancestor?

“Me?”

– It’s okay if you don’t know…

I left Seo Ji-han, who seemed to have a lot to say, and took out a potion.

This is the magic power increasing potion with the largest quantity.

There are 9 of them, so it might be okay to waste at least one.

“I’ll have a drink.”

– Oh yeah. Go ahead and drink it.

A transparent blue liquid that glows softly. Just looking at the color, it looks like car washer fluid.

It came in a round bottle that could easily be held in one hand, so at first glance it looked like a perfume bottle.

Anyway, it didn’t have a lot of capacity, so I just opened the cap and took it in my mouth.

I consumed an S-class magic power increase potion.

Special options for the corresponding grade item are activated. Please select your usage type.

Temporary increase Permanent increase

I thought the stats would just increase right away, but a lot of windows popped up.

What should I choose?

After thinking about it for a while, Seo Ji-han opened his mouth with a sad look on his face.

– what’s the matter? Is something wrong?

“No, that’s not true, I asked you to choose.”

– what?

“I want you to choose how to use the potion.”

– Form of use?

“They asked me to choose between a temporary increase and a permanent increase…”

Seo Ji-han was silent for a moment.

Then, suddenly, he looked up at the sky with a face as if everything in his life had become meaningless, and he sighed once.

what? Why is this happening all of a sudden?

Is something wrong?

– I have to collect it.

“yes?”

– The world is very unfair. yes?

Hey, what else can I say?

I was surprised for no reason.

I snorted at Seo Ji-han, who had a lonely face, and asked for advice.

“Stop talking nonsense. “It would be right to choose a permanent increase, right?”

– huh. Whatever…

Seo Ji-han, who was still as faded as chaff, nodded slowly, as if he was okay with it.

I clicked my tongue and chose the permanent increase.

– Consumed S-class magic power increase potion permanently increases magic power by 5. (Limit not reached)

Light flickered once and it felt as if my magic power had increased slightly.

When I opened the window, I saw that the basic magical power had actually increased.

The magic power, which was originally 25 due to Kergis’ horn, was changed to 30.

“It’s really increased. However, there is a message in the notification message that says the limit has not been reached.”

– okay? I think I probably won’t be able to raise it above a certain number.

“Hmm. The effect of the S-class potion is not as effective as I thought. “It only increases the value by 5 and there is a limit.”

Seo Ji-han was looking at me with a face that told me I couldn’t hear him.

He stood silently for a moment as if in shock, then opened his mouth.

– That bracelet you’re wearing right now. Although it is of a low grade, it is an extremely rare equipment item that can only be counted in one hand, and considering that it only increases magical power by 20, 5 is not a small number at all.

“ah.”

– And if you keep drinking it, it will stack and rise. It’s huge. I don’t know what your limit is.

“That’s a bit disappointing. “Let’s drink a few more bottles.”

– That’s not bad either.

I drank two more bottles in a row.

With this, my basic magic power level is 40.

If you add up the values of the moonstone bracelet, it is 60.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t drink more than that.
