Grow With In-App Purchases - Chapter 106



106. Reinforcement is a gamble (3)

If criminals had thoughts, they wouldn’t appear in a situation like today where teachers openly patrol.

“Is something wrong with you?”

Even as we walked down the street with Hash, we could feel the teachers watching us closely.

One teacher even asked Hash if he was okay.

Anyone can see that I am suspicious.

“It’s okay! He’s someone I know. It’s dangerous, so I came out with him to take me.”

“Ah~ Really? Excuse me.”

“No. Good work, sir.”

Hash explained it quite cleverly, probably knowing that I was being suspicious by the teachers.

Even so, I was secretly scared and saw the hash sticking to my leg.

I stroked the boy’s head once for no reason.

“What’s up!”

“Because you look scared.”

“I’m not afraid!”

Hash immediately makes a cute protest, clenching his fists and punching my abs.

Seeing that he doesn’t have much energy, he seems to be taking care of himself even when he’s angry.

‘What are they trying to do by kidnapping these kids?’

I don’t know what kind of guys did this, but I won’t die gracefully.

Aren’t the knights and teachers dispatched by the state wandering around looking for them with their eyes open?

“How can you come all the way here? Unless you want to die, you can never come. Don’t worry, I’m deliberately going to a busy roadside.”

“Kheung.”

Where did the bold guy who said he would freeze a criminal if he showed up, relaxed at my words.

Rumors from the frontlines are vicious these days, and it is disastrous that even the academy is in this situation.

When I was living with commoners as a mercenary, I often thought that the world was doomed, but after coming to Academy City and adapting to it, I was under the illusion that the world was still worth living in.

After all, whether in the past or now, this

It was right that the world was listening to mango.

“It’s the Academy!”

Hash finally found the main entrance to the academy and jumped out in relief as soon as he saw it.

Just as I was about to go back, thinking that it was all right, Hashish turned his back and greeted me with a handshake and thanks.

“Thank you for taking me there, mister! I’ll go again later when I’m out!”

“Is that a bit half-worded?”

He smiled and gave a short nod, then moved on to return to the general store.

And he was caught by knights on the street.

“excuse me.”

“yes?”

I never thought this would happen until I brought Hash.

“I’m sorry, but do you have anything to prove your identity?”

“…there’s a general store running right around here, so I didn’t bring it out. If you want to check it out, I can go to the store and check it out for you.”

Apparently, from the point of view of the knights, I looked like a very suspicious person.

Since the child was kidnapped, I was trying to find it somehow, so I decided not to curse.

Wouldn’t it be something that a suspicious guy roaming around the academy could touch at least once?

“Here you go.”

It was only when I went to the general store and showed my merchant license that the driver stopped giving me suspicious glances.

“Has there ever been anything suspicious happening around you?”

“Not so far, but if anything suspicious happens, I’ll report it right away.”

“Thanks for your cooperation.”

I exchanged greetings with the polite knight who was suspicious of me but wasn’t rude until I checked his identity.

It was only after the knight returned that silence came to the general store.

“Are you alone again for a while?”

The academy imposed a ban on going out for a while, and even after the ban was lifted, the entire city was under lockdown, so children who went to the general store stopped coming and going.

It’s exam time, so I know it’s nothing strange, but…

‘Since there is none, it’s quite lonely.’

It was a very strange feeling.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Quaang!!

I was taking a nap at the grocery store, but I was startled by a sudden noise.

“what?”

I was confused because I couldn’t understand the situation, but when I realized that it was the sound of the door opening, I sighed.

For a moment, I wondered if the ‘suspicious thing’ the article had asked me had happened, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“mister!!!!!!!!!!!”

“A long time.”

The customer who entered the general store was none other than Shine.

I was waving my hand to a guy I hadn’t seen in a while, but why was the boy blushing with excitement?

“Mister! Ariane, what is that?”

Shine’s behavior, which started talking about Ariando, left me in a daze for a while, then said.

“Huh? Ariane too? Why is she?”

“Weapons. Weapons!!”

“Ah~ Ah~ What did you mean? Why is that? Do you do it too?”

“Of course I have to do it!!! My baby can also shine, how can I not do that? If I had told you earlier, I would have done it first.”

Shine’s eyes sparkle.

It seems that Ariando came to see the strengthened weapon, but he did not know that he would unintentionally become a word-of-mouth business like this.

“I’ve been thinking of several rivers.”

“I heard that it costs a lot of money, but Ariando didn’t know exactly how much it would cost. So I brought it roughly, but will it be possible until it runs out?”

Confirming what Shine had brought, I nodded.

“This is enough to go to the top 10, right?”

The other day, I had an intuition about how much I could strengthen with Ariando and the battle of destruction.

Even if he didn’t bring 300 million won right off the bat like Ariando, he brought more than enough money to go smoothly with about 10 rounds.

“Rout 10? I heard that Ariando is in round 11? His weapon just sparkled. It’s just purple. So I want to do round 12 too.”

“ah.”

Why do you say that the conclusion is the 12th, even though you have said that you will do the 11th?

“Did you not hear the details from Ariando?”

He leaked me while trying to do the round of 12, and eventually gave up and went back in the round of 11.

If I had heard that, I would have thought that I would not recklessly go to the round of 12.

“I heard about it. That’s why I have to go to the round of 12 even more.”

“…….”

I can’t bear to say no to Shine’s words.

The feeling that if my friend goes to the 9th, I have to do the 10th.

How can you say you don’t know that?

If Ariando made it to the Round of 11, the correct attitude as a friend would be for Shine to challenge for the Round of 12.

But was it because he remembered the hardships he had suffered under the zelkova tree a few days ago?

Negative words came out of nowhere.

“It’s hard to go to the round of 12. It takes a long time.”

“Could that be enough…wouldn’t it?”

“If you’re aiming for the top 12 in the first place, you have to set your money to infinite.”

Like Ariando, you have to give up 300 million won and be determined to do it until you use it all.

The items that Shine brought today weren’t cheap, but when I thought about the round of 12 destruction, I felt that they were lacking a lot.

“Ummm… then there’s nothing you can do about it. For now, please continue as long as you can.”

“Are you satisfied and have no intention of quitting?”

Shine nodded when asked if he would not stop unless it was round 12 even if it was round 11.

“No, I won’t stop.”

Like Ariando’s round of 12 destruction, Shine’s round of 12 destruction.

Given that he doesn’t have much money in his pocket, it is expected that Shine’s reinforcement will be more difficult than Ariando’s.

Unique equipment fell from Shine’s hand for the first time in a long time to strengthen it.

“Please take good care of my child.”

I’m not even a kindergarten teacher.

“Do you want to just do it here or do you want to go where you want?”

“Ah! I heard that. You said you go to a place where you feel like doing it?”

“uh.”

“Then I’ll go to the park. The park where I first met you.”

From noble mtl dot com

He met me there, got to see unique equipment, and even bought weapons, so it seems that the meaning is very deep.

I gladly followed Shine’s wishes.

“Where should I go to the park? Can I use the bench over there?”

I saw people taking a walk in the park after a long time, probably because it was daytime.

“No, no. If you’ve come all the way to the park, you should go to a place that’s really clear.”

Shine was vaguely aware of the importance of ‘place’, as if she had heard a lot about Ariando.

The guy meticulously specified the location.

That’s what led me to the place where we had a secret(?) meeting in the park.

“Here! Please do it here.”

“Hmm.”

“There’s also a bench right here. I think you can do it here.”

Because the previous encounter had been so secretive, this place was exceptionally deserted.

Perhaps thanks to the exceptionally thick bushes around the bench, it was well hidden from people.

“Okay, so let’s start?”

Sit on the bench, open the reinforcement and insert the weapon into the square slot.

“Oh oh.”

Shine widened her eyes at the weapon disappearing in front of her eyes.

I pressed the hammer with all my soul, with the spirit of craftsmanship.

Caang~!!

The sound of the hammer resonated brightly as if celebrating the future of Shine’s unique equipment.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

As Shine said, Ariando’s 11th-level weapon was wrapped in a brilliant purple light, and in a word, it became a weapon that was ‘sleek’.

It is natural for highly enhanced weapons to have effects.

It is to strengthen by spending hundreds or thousands of money to obtain an effect that is differentiated from others.

‘Performance is also performance, but kanji is something I can’t stand.’

It’s good to strengthen the weapon I cherish, but the relative sense of deprivation from the effect was quite lethal.

In that respect, Shine…

“Let’s stop. This won’t work for the round of 12.”

“I don’t like it. Keep going.”

“Seriously? You don’t have any more money to pay.”

“I do. I just need to get more money.

I wasn’t lucky enough to think Ariando’s case was easy.

How many times have you piled up stitch by stitch and then collapsed?

I’m getting tired of clicking and clicking.

‘I have to go up a little to have fun.’

I pressed quite a lot, but somehow I couldn’t see the 9th round.

Then, suddenly, as if something was bleeding, he ran directly from the 8th to the 11th.

Only 12 left now…

‘If this fails, there is no answer. I don’t have much money left.’

Anyone can see that the front is a cliff, but I don’t understand why they said they would jump down there.

As it was a really hard round of 11, I hoped that Shine would make the right choice.

So I asked again, but Shine’s thoughts were too firm.

When Shine brought the strengthening value, he sold it to the store, and 16 million won came out.

Compared to Ariando’s 300 million won, 16 million won was too modest.

‘Ten times with the remaining money? No, I can spin it about 9 times.’

Only 9 chances left.

In the case of Ariando, he reached the round of 11 quite cost-effectively.

However, even Ariando, who poured so much money, had no choice but to kneel before the majesty of the 12th round.

But when Shine, with only 9 left, said he would challenge for the round of 12, it was frustrating.

“Right now, I just write the round of 11, and later when I get money, I challenge the round of 12?”

“I’ll trust you. It’s been a difficult climb, so I hope he gives you meaningful results.”

Even if you fail in the round of 11 and make it to the round of 10, even if it happens that you can’t make it to the round of 8 or higher again, you have to give it a try.

“Can’t you just not trust me? I don’t think I’ve ever given you much trust.”

Where the hell did faith come from?

I hated asking, but Shine shook her head.

“Round of 12. Please do it.”

I could no longer refuse to make a decision.

I pressed the hammer-shaped strengthen button.

kaang!!!!!!!!!!

Kurureung, Kururureung!!!!

The world in the game was a moment when the word ‘to be a person’ came to mind later than a person with a lot of money.
