Level 2 Player

Transaction with the Necromancer King Garami Khan (2)

“Yes, that’s right. The Necromancer King Garami Khan specifically picked me and told me to purchase the Bone Dragon’s byproducts.”

Lucy said with an expression full of curiosity.

‘That guy wants the Bone Dragon’s byproducts.’

Actually, to a player of the grade of the Necromancer King Garami Khan, the Bone Dragon’s byproducts have no great meaning. Because he was an existence who possessed the martial power to obtain even an intact Dragon Heart of a true dragon by his own power, not the Corrupted Dragon Heart of the True Dragon.

‘But if it contains the achievement of being the first, the story is different.’

The byproducts of the Bone Dragon that was hunted for the first time on Floor 100 contain a special achievement.

‘Since that guy’s class is also a necromancer, he will covet it considerably.’

Garami Khan is not called the Necromancer King for nothing. He is called the Necromancer King because he is the strongest necromancer existing in the Tower.

‘90 billion points. It is a good price, though.’

It is a price with a premium attached to the regular price. However, from the Necromancer King Garami Khan’s perspective, it was points that were nothing more than pocket money.

‘That guy possesses a disposition where if there is something he wants to possess, he has to obtain it by any means.’

Demons are faithful to instincts and desires. One of the peaks of such demons is the Necromancer King Garami Khan.

“90 billion points is too little. I will not sell it to you, so just go back.”

“What? What kind of words are those! This is a very generous price! Was it a lie that you said to me when you first heard it asking if I ate something wrong!”

Lucy screamed and had a seizure.

“Did you get a weakness caught?”

“It is not like that!”

“Looking at it, it is not just aiming for the points that fall as commission. You want to properly open a transaction with the Necromancer King Garami Khan this time, right?”

The Necromancer King Garami Khan is a monarch who practically rules over a hundred cities and hunting grounds in the upper layers of the Tower. It is not for nothing that other players call him a king.

He is called a king because he is in a position like a king who rules a real country.

‘From the perspective of a beginner peddler like Lucy, it is the same as catching a jackpot connection.’

She will want to earn favor through this transaction and build a connection with the Necromancer King Garami Khan.

“There is that kind of greed too. But what I am unfair about is that I am proposing really good conditions, but you say it is too little and will not sell, so that is frustrating.”

“Go to the Necromancer King Garami Khan and convey just one word. Then you will also be able to gain greater benefit.”

“Really? What is that one word?”

“That the seller, me, was a necromancer.”

“That means you have no intention of selling because you are thinking of using the Bone Dragon’s byproducts directly yourself, right?”

“That’s right.”

“But were you a necromancer?”

Lucy looks at Jin-su with eyes full of doubt.

“Yeah, I am a necromancer.”

At Jin-su’s calm answer, Lucy made an expression that was somehow uncomfortable.

“Go and convey it. If he wants to obtain the Bone Dragon’s byproducts, he wants to receive items of befitting value, not points.”

He could ask for more points. However, this was an opportunity. A golden opportunity to purchase necromancer-exclusive items that absolutely cannot be obtained at the Floor 100 level.

“Items of befitting value? What is that?”

“That is something the person who wants to purchase should judge on their own.”

“Originally, isn’t this something the seller should set?”

“I trust the buyer’s eyes.”

At Jin-su’s words, Lucy’s expression began to rot. But Jin-su’s words were sincere.

‘The Necromancer King Garami Khan is a guy with strong pride.’

He cannot live being ignored, and especially for his own face, he often puts on excessive bluffs.

‘From that guy’s perspective, it is also an amount where the thought that it is excessive itself will not even arise.’

He is a guy who thinks of below 1 trillion points as pocket change. From the Necromancer King Garami Khan’s perspective, it is not a problem of whether the points consumed are a few hundred billion or a few thousand billion.

‘It is important not to receive the evaluation of being stingy and low-level from me who is a lower-layer player.’

Probably, even to protect his own pride, he will unconditionally hand over items possessing a value of 90 billion points or more.

“If you show such an arrogant attitude to that person, a big problem might arise.”

Lucy threw a warning with a stern expression.

“Can that guy come here?”

“No.”

“Then what is the problem?”

“If thinking of later, of course you have to worry...! Ha, forget it. There is no need for me to worry about that instead.”

Lucy sprang up from her seat.

“Then I will convey it that way.”

With those words as the end, Lucy left the place.

‘Although it is thankful that she cares.’

Jin-su let out laughter inwardly. However, it was unnecessary worry. The Necromancer King Garami Khan is a guy who was properly broken by Jin-su after acting arrogantly and bossily before regression as well.

There was no way he would become an opponent of Jin-su who is growing at a faster speed than before regression.

‘Well, he will not harbor ill feelings over such a trivial matter. Huh? Or not? It also seems like that guy would do even that sufficiently.’

Even if he harbors it, there was nothing that would become a problem.

Around the time Jin-su arrives at the upper layers of the Tower that the Necromancer King Garami Khan rules...

‘Because I will have become far stronger than that guy.’

***

Jin-su spent days no different from usual. He hunted monsters, raised levels, and accumulated achievements.

Shushushuk!

Jin-su shot arrows. However, there was no need to carry arrows like before. It was thanks to the newly prepared item, the Bow of Fire and Ice.

The Bow of Fire and Ice automatically generated fire arrows or ice arrows. It did not even consume the user’s mana.

Because the arrow generation skill consumed stacks and generated fire arrows and ice arrows.

‘The skill cooldown is also short, and the stacks are plentiful, so it is practically the same as infinite arrows.’

Besides that, several useful options such as penetration reinforcement, flame attribute reinforcement, and ice attribute reinforcement were attached.

Of course, it was not that there were no disadvantages. The fact that most of the possessed skills were concentrated on flame attribute and ice attribute reinforcement was the biggest disadvantage.

‘Ordinary players often desperately sell only one attribute.’

Whether mage, archer, or warrior, they usually had a tendency to desperately sell only one attribute such as flame, freeze, wind, earth, holy, dark, and so on.

The reason was simple.

‘Because that is more efficient.’

A mage who uses flame-type magic as the main only needs to learn only flame-type skills and raise the level intensively. Common skills also only learn kinds that can assist flame-type skills. However, if using flame-type and freeze-type at the same time, flame-type skills and freeze-type skills have to be learned together and the levels also raised.

‘The common skill tech tree also has to be raised 2 at the same time.’

When seeing that the same effort and points are consumed, if choosing not one but two, the investment places are divided, so not a small loss is seen.

‘If that is overcome, it is a greater benefit, but that is not easy.’

That is why most players show an inclination of concentrating on one attribute.

‘It has no great relation with me.’

To Jin-su who has the Blessing, the dispersion of selection and concentration did not become any obstacle in growth.

‘Thanks to that, I also bought this bow cheaply.’

Players who grow skills of two attributes at the same time value compatibility.

‘Flame-type and freeze-type are exact opposites.’

If flame skills are the main, it is good to harmonize with wind skills. Flame skills and freeze skills rather decrease in power if used together.

The seller who put the Bow of Fire and Ice on the auction house eventually dropped the price sharply once the item did not sell no matter what. Compared to the level and option performance the Bow of Fire and Ice possessed, it was the same as free.

Thanks to that, Jin-su could purchase a high-performance weapon at a cheap price.

‘The other guys are the same.’

Not only the arrows of fire and ice, but other items also preferentially purchased items whose prices were cheap due to compatibility problems. Although it was also because there was no problem for Jin-su...

The biggest reason was that the points he possessed were too few.

‘To think 60 billion points would disappear in an instant like this.’

Once trying to purchase several items of level 1,000 or higher, even 60 billion points was nothing more than pocket money.

‘Instead, I became far stronger.’

He could be sufficiently satisfied.

However, Jin-su was still in a state of not having purchased necromancer-exclusive items.

‘Lucy and Garami Khan, I trust you.’

Jin-su believed without doubt in the synergy effect that the combination of the pushover peddler Lucy and the pushover Necromancer King Garami Khan stained with bluff would create.

‘Clearly, enormously good equipment will appear.’

Actually, if he had sold the Bone Dragon’s byproducts for 90 billion points, more leisurely shopping would have been possible.

However, currently Jin-su’s main is strictly summoning. Naturally, the exclusive weapon of the necromancer class that is a branch of summoners was the most important.

‘But from when did my main become summoning?’

Before regression, he overcame all kinds of crises and navigated dangers while swinging two swords. After regression as well, it seemed it was like that at first, but at some moment, the matters resolved with summoning rather than fighting directly gradually increased.

‘I was lucky.’

I went to obtain 1 shadow summon and obtained 6. I also did not know that I would obtain as many as 2 unique-grade necromancer class change certificates in the undead hidden dungeon.

‘I thought I would continue to leave them unused. The fact that the classes increased to 2 was also fortune.’

Due to the Blessing, the growth direction was twisted into not one path but several paths.

‘Good is good.’

Since he became stronger, there was no need to be constrained. Jin-su was a swordsman who lived his entire life together with the sword. However, he had no intention of obsessing over the sword like the swordsman players who came to the dimension called the martial world.

‘If I can become strong, whether the direction is one branch or several branches, it does not matter.’

Jin-su’s purpose is to conquer the Tower and return to his only family, the younger sister left alone.

Only that one thing.

Becoming strong is also only a means to achieve the purpose.

He has no intention of going beyond the line. He has set a standard himself. However, he did not place constraints on the method of becoming strong. Whether swordsmanship, summoning, or magic, if it becomes power, if he can become strong, anything did not matter.

He had no intention of losing the purpose due to arrogance or conceit about himself, or pride or stubbornness.

***

Knock knock knock!

While resting in the lodging, a knocking sound was heard.

‘It will be Lucy.’

Creeeak!

Once Jin-su opened the door, as expected, Lucy revealed herself.

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

Lucy answered shortly and entered the lodging. But the expression was not good at all.

‘Could the result have come out badly? That should not be the case?’

Jin-su knew well what kind of inclination the Necromancer King Garami Khan was.

‘There is no way that guy would overturn the transaction itself.’

Even for his own face, there was no way he would give a bad item.

“The transaction did not fall through, right?”

Still, since it was a matter of who knows, he asked once.

“Yes, it is not.”

“Then did he give an item that was shabby when you saw it?”

“That is not either.”

“By any chance, did he say he will not transact with you from now on?”

“It is not.”

“Then why are you like that?”

When Jin-su asked with a puzzled expression, Lucy opened her mouth with an expression that became tearful.

“The Necromancer King Garami Khan muttered that he would see later after hearing your words calling you an arrogant brat!”

“What? As expected, he is a petty guy.”

Jin-su was dumbfounded. Why does the Necromancer King Garami Khan put on bluffs and show off like that? Because his real personality is petty.

‘He has also suffered losses several times while pretending to be more generous to hide that personality.’

One of the words the Necromancer King Garami Khan dislikes the most is others calling him petty.

“Shh! Be quiet! What if someone hears!”

“Who is going to hear.”

Jin-su looked at Lucy as if it was absurd.

“Still, you have to be careful. It is already a situation where you are disliked.”

“What does it matter. It is not even that that guy can come to Floor 100.”

“That is true, but you have to think of later. It is not like you will live for a thousand or ten thousand years on Floor 100.”

“Don’t worry. When I arrive at the place where that guy is, I will have become stronger than that guy. If he rushes, I will smash the title of Necromancer King that that guy possesses first, what.”

Before regression, Jin-su had a time when he fought after relations soured with the Necromancer King Garami Khan over a trivial dispute.

‘It was really trivial.’

It was a dispute that arose when the Necromancer King Garami Khan put on unreasonable demands on Jin-su while displaying unfounded authority.

At that time, the Necromancer King Garami Khan rushed at Jin-su saying he would establish his own dignity. So Jin-su had a record of personally smashing Garami Khan and shoving the title of Necromancer King into the gutter.

Having done it once, can he not do it twice?
