Level 2 Player

Item Synthesis (2)

If there is a staff that simultaneously strengthens fire attribute and wind attribute skills that have good compatibility with each other?

‘The efficiency rises, but the item price will also jump sharply.’

However, before that, there was one point that had to be confirmed. The Blessing skill item level fix loses power if it leaves Jin-su’s hands. Perhaps the synthesis item might also be like that.

‘It would be good if it is maintained as is.’

Jin-su took out 2 healer-use staffs. One had a skill casting speed increase option attached, and the other had a mana recovery speed increase option attached.

‘Although they are low-level staffs, if both are attached, the price jumps sharply.’

They are items of the same kind, and the option skills also do not collide with each other, so the success probability exceeded 95%.

‘Let’s make it right away.’

Jin-su made the 2 staffs into a synthesis item.

Hwaaaak!

Along with a cluster of bright light, the 2 staffs merged into one.

‘The options merged cleanly.’

Now it was time to confirm whether this option activates even when it leaves Jin-su’s hands.

“Su-a!”

Jin-su called Shin Su-a.

“Huh? Why?”

Shin Su-a who was diligently hitting orc heads with the staff once mana bottomed out turned her head as if puzzled.

“Come here for a moment.”

“Got it.”

Shin Su-a wiped the blood splattered on her cheek and approached Jin-su with a bright expression.

“Can you confirm a bit whether the option application works properly?”

“Option?”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a put the staff she was originally holding into the inventory. Then at the moment of grabbing the staff Jin-su handed over.

“Huh?”

A questioning exclamation burst from Shin Su-a’s mouth.

“What’s wrong?”

“The mana recovery speed dropped sharply.”

Shin Su-a said while frowning at Jin-su’s question.

“Is it not that the option is not applied?”

“Is that so? I’ll confirm.”

Shin Su-a put the staff received from Jin-su into the inventory.

“The option works properly though?”

“Yeah?”

Jin-su’s face brightened.

“Yeah, but the efficiency is too low. Is it because the item level is low?”

“How much is the item level?”

“It is level 235.”

“What options are attached?”

“A skill casting speed increase option and a mana recovery speed increase option are attached. But why are you asking me that?”

“There is something to confirm for a moment.”

“Then have you confirmed now?”

“Yeah, go and hunt again.”

“Got it.”

Shin Su-a took out the staff she originally used from the inventory and ran again to hit orc heads.

‘The level obtained with the level fix Blessing is not applied as expected.’

However, the option of the synthesis item was intact.

‘If this goes well, points can be scraped together with a rake.’

Jin-su thought that after the item level fix Blessing appeared, if raising the level of low-level items and selling them, points might be earned as if copying. However, the level created due to the level fix Blessing returned to original if it leaves Jin-su’s hands, so it was of no use at all.

‘But Item Synthesis is different.’

The option of the item that became one with the Item Synthesis skill worked well even if it entered the hands of someone other than Jin-su.

‘If synthesizing a cheap item that has the needed option there on an item that seems good if one more option is attached and selling it, it will become quite a lot of money.’

It is not that stacks are fixed either, and if only Jin-su’s mana is sufficient, the Item Synthesis skill could be activated infinitely.

Decisively, this could become one weapon.

‘One more card that can be used as a trade condition when recruiting top-tier players or receiving Skill Sharing has increased.’

If accepting Jin-su’s proposal, main skills and main equipment can be strengthened. If this fact is known, top-tier players will rush one after another.

‘Guys harboring bad intentions will also cling.’

Those who try to suppress Jin-su and use that power for their own benefit will clearly come out.

‘It is fine if thoroughly punishing such guys.’

One cannot fail to make soy sauce because afraid of maggots, right?

Also, there was still a lot of time left until climbing to the upper layers of the Tower.

‘If only growing like now...’

Around the time of climbing to the upper layers of the Tower, he will have become far stronger than before regression.

The orc group gathering from all sides gradually became sparse and later stopped completely.

“Kuwoek!”

The remaining Orc Great Chieftain alone let out anger and resisted fiercely, but it was meaningless.

Creak!

The summons broke the Orc Great Chieftain’s arms and legs and suppressed him.

Jin-su waited calmly. Then 2 hours 22 minutes passed since the mission start.

‘Time is up.’

At the point when exactly 22 seconds passed.

Slash!

Jin-su’s sword cut the neck of the Orc Great Chieftain.

[You have achieved for the first time the hard-to-believe achievement of annihilating the gatekeeper of Floor 150 and his subordinates.]

[Calculating contribution.]

[You have achieved 1st place in contribution with 99%.]

[The title The One Who Annihilated the Gatekeeper of Floor 150 and His Subordinates is given.]

[The title The One Who Inflicted an Unwashable Humiliation on the Gatekeeper of Floor 150 is given.]

[The skill book Rage of the Orc Great Chieftain is given.]

[The skill book Charisma of the Orc Great Chieftain is given.]

...omitted...

[You have cleared Floor 150. You will move to Floor 151 after 99 seconds. Will you go up in advance?]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘It did not even give an impossible feat, and there are no particularly usable skill books either.’

He only obtained a lot of warrior skill books including self-only buff skills and intimidation skills.

‘Well, it can be like that.’

Since expectations were not large to begin with, the disappointment was also not large. Rather, it was fortunate that the Blessing grew even once unexpectedly in the middle of mission clear.

“Let’s go up right away.”

“Got it.”

Since he only hunted a little over 2 hours and was resting even before clear, there was no matter of getting tired.

Jin-su and Shin Su-a selected yes.

Hwaaaak!

At that moment, along with a cluster of bright light, Jin-su and Shin Su-a moved to Floor 151.

[You have arrived at Floor 151.]

[Defeat the boss monster of Floor 151 within 10 days and go up to Floor 152.]

[Time that can be stayed on Floor 151 - 10 days.]

“It will be a time attack.”

“I know.”

The fact that Jin-su always climbs each floor before a day passes was already known by Shin Su-a as well.

“Leo, Kkami.”

Leo and Kkami did what they had to do at the same time as their names were called.

“Nyaaaang!”

Leo let out a wide-area provocation roar and gathered monsters.

“Kaak! Kaak!”

Kkami flew high into the sky and moved to find the boss monster.

‘Let’s move diligently.’

Jin-su rotated buffs to the summons and prepared for full-scale hunting.

***

Jin-su and Shin Su-a climbed the Tower quickly.

Forest, desert, grassland, swamp, ice, snow, and so on.

Various kinds of monsters appeared in all kinds of environments. However, they could not block the front of Jin-su and Shin Su-a.

Ordinary players often have combat power fluctuating according to the environment or kind of monsters.

In the case of a dense forest, there are many obstacles, so it is hard for archer or mage players to display their skill. In a desert environment, the efficacy of cold-type attribute skills drops, and in environments like ice, snow, or swamp, the efficacy of fire attribute skills drops.

An open grassland lowers the efficiency of stealth or ambush skills of assassin players.

In the case of tankers or warriors as well, in environments like swamp, ice, or snow that are not firm ground, it was hard to properly display skill anyway.

On the other hand, since monsters often display stronger combat power by receiving the influence of the environment, players had no choice but to be at a disadvantage.

However, Jin-su did not have so little experience as to be shaken by environmental variables.

Along with that, since the main force is summons that are not greatly affected by the environment, there was no great problem whether the environment is hot, cold, or humid.

Jin-su also can use skills of several classes, so he hunted monsters while changing the combat style and main attribute according to the environment.

As a result, Jin-su and Shin Su-a kept 22 hours 22 minutes 22 seconds and could reach Floor 199 by climbing the Tower at an enormously fast speed.

“It is really in an instant.”

Shin Su-a said as if surprised. It was the same when reaching Floor 100 and Floor 150, but it was really an enormous speed.

It could not even be compared to suffering to death when climbing from Floor 1 to Floor 50 with the party members first met.

Especially after the summons increased, while climbing the Tower quickly, ample sleep time could also be guaranteed.

‘After meeting Jin-su, my life changed.’

Probably if she could not meet Jin-su, she would have been ignored by the colleagues in the previous party, treated as a luggage carrier, and still stayed on Floor 50.

“We will continue to climb at this speed from now on.”

“I know.”

Shin Su-a answered while smiling at Jin-su’s words.

Since climbing the Tower quickly does not slow the level up speed or reduce the rewards either, there was no way there would be dissatisfaction.

Rather, Shin Su-a was always sorry to Jin-su.

Because he yields all the elixirs and she was acquiring experience and achievements almost for free.

‘If it was not Jin-su, the level and stats would not have been able to follow even one-tenth of now.’

If evaluating coldly, the difference before and after meeting Jin-su was large to the degree where it would be fortunate if following even one-hundredth, let alone one-tenth. On top of that, she changed class from warrior to healer and obtained a lot of good skills.

From Shin Su-a’s perspective, meeting Jin-su was truly enormous luck.

Well, that was the same from Jin-su’s perspective though.

[Will you challenge Floor 199 clear?]

[Yes.] [No.]

“Then let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

Jin-su and Shin Su-a selected yes.

Hwaaaak!

At that moment, a cluster of bright light wrapped the bodies of Jin-su and Shin Su-a.

[The clear condition of Floor 199 is to survive for a week.]

[I pray for the challenger’s survival.]

This time as well, it was a survival mission.

‘As expected, it is a desert the same.’

Floor 149 was a snowy plain where a blizzard sweeps, but Floor 199 was the opposite environment.

‘I have to catch sand worms.’

The clear condition of the survival mission of Floor 149 is to survive for a week amid the offensive of all kinds of desert-type monsters. However, Jin-su had no thought of being satisfied with that degree.

The sand worm was a monster that showed Jin-su hell before regression.

The offensive of the sand worm that suddenly pops out from the sand and ambushes had no method to block except the sanctuary.

‘If it is about a sand worm, it will be usable as a summon too.’

The sand worm belonging to super-large monsters is a monster with a huge size not inferior to the Bone Dragon.

‘Even so. It is only a huge earthworm.’

Only the size is similar, and the grade as a monster was not of a level to compare with the Bone Dragon. Although there is the advantage of huge size and digging into the ground and moving quickly, not one of attack power, defense power, or possessed skills was inferior to the Bone Dragon? Wait, none matched the Bone Dragon.

‘Since the Army Summon squad is so weak, I have to fill it with sand worms at least.’

It is that it is nothing special compared to the Bone Dragon, but the sand worm’s huge size itself was the strongest weapon.

As one goes to the high floors of the Tower, cases where size and force are inversely proportional increase. On the other hand, in the case of mid-lower layers, the larger the size of the monster, the higher the probability of being a strong monster.

‘The huge size itself is a powerful weapon.’

With mighty strength and a heavy body and then enormous body weight, just by crushing, miscellaneous monsters of a mediocre level can be swept in an instant.

‘I have to catch as many as possible.’

Before regression, Jin-su only met 1 sand worm.

‘At that time, even 1 was hell.’

However, now the circumstances changed. Since there will be no matter of meeting a super-large monster of sand worm degree for a while once clearing the Floor 199 mission, he had to catch as large a number as possible here and make them into Army Summons.
