Chapter 206
[Master Enhancer]
– Normal (Fully Enhanced) 3,485/10,000
– Rare (Fully Enhanced) 2,511/10,000
– Epic (Fully Enhanced) 1,839/10,000
– Unique (Fully Enhanced) 111/1,000
– Legendary (Fully Enhanced) 1/100
This was the count after completing the requests.
While the numbers for Normal, Rare, and Epic had increased significantly, the most noticeable change was in Unique.
Since Unique Enhancement Stones became available for purchase at a low price using points, the number of requests had increased dramatically.
This was also the reason why he was getting closer to becoming a Master Enhancer.
Furthermore, as he enhanced more Unique items, his Enhancement Skill level also increased significantly.
[Transcendent Enhancement: Legendary]
– Type: Enhancement
– Level: 9
– Grade: Legendary
– Allows equipment enhancement (up to Legendary).
– Success rate for each equipment (Normal 100%, Rare 100%, Epic 100%, Unique 95%, Legendary 54%)
– 0% chance of equipment destruction upon failure.
– Enhancement count is not deducted upon failure.
With the skill level reaching 9, the success rate for Unique was 95%, and for Legendary, it had increased to over half at 54%.
– Points Held: 412,442p
His held points had also increased significantly to 410,000.
‘With this much, I can start enhancing my equipment, right?’
Legendary equipment.
It was time to use the Legendary Enhancement Stones he had been saving, as the success rate was less than half.
Currently, Jeong-Hoon had 10 Legendary Enhancement Stones.
These were the enhancement stones he received as a reward for clearing Baal’s dungeon.
However, this wasn’t enough.
“Welcome.”
NPCs were stationed throughout the streets.
Among them, he had to find an NPC who specialized in selling enhancement stones.
Near Jeong-Hoon’s location, there was an NPC named ‘Lee Kang-Hyeok’ who was in charge of selling those materials.
===
[NPC Information]
– Nickname: Lee Kang-Hyeok
– Level: 100
– Class: Enhancement Assistant
===
Enhancement Assistant.
This meant an NPC who exclusively sold enhancement stones.
“Do you have Legendary Enhancement Stones?”
Legendary Enhancement Stones became available for purchase from NPCs after the realization.
“Yes. 300,000 points each.”
300,000 points.
It wasn’t a small price.
Even after scraping together all his points, he could only buy one.
To fully enhance an item, he needed at least 20, and that was assuming all enhancements were successful.
If the success rate for Legendary enhancement was slightly over 50%, it meant he needed at least 30 to 40 stones to attempt a full enhancement, based on expected value.
‘It’s impossible with my current points.’
So he intended to use a different method.
“Can I exchange currency?”
Specifically, exchanging gold.
“Yes, you can. Only gold can be exchanged, and the rate is 10 points for 1 gold.”
“Is that so? Then let’s exchange all the gold.”
Since the realization of New World, gold had become unnecessary.
There was no use for it.
So he had to transfer his gold into points.
“You currently have 2.87 million gold. Silver and copper will be deleted.”
2.87 million gold.
Even after spending the 1 million gold he received from Sa Jae-Hyeok, he still had 2.87 million gold.
If he exchanged all of this, he would receive 28.7 million points.
“Let’s exchange it.”
Without hesitation, Jeong-Hoon exchanged all his gold for points.
“Yes.”
– Points Held: 29,112,442
After the exchange, his points increased to 29.11 million.
Perfect.
This should be enough to fully enhance his equipment.
Jeong-Hoon purchased 90 Legendary Enhancement Stones.
Buying 90 stones cost him 27 million points.
– Points Held: 2,112,442
His remaining points were now 2.11 million.
After purchasing the enhancement stones, Jeong-Hoon returned home.
‘I’ll visit Ho-Yeong for a bit.’
His mother had gone to the building where Ho-Yeong was staying, so Jeong-Hoon was alone at home.
[Are you finally going to enhance me?]
Mukho asked with an excited voice.
Jeong-Hoon nodded.
“Yes. That’s why I bought 90 of them.”
90 Legendary Enhancement Stones.
Including the 10 he received as a reward for clearing Baal’s dungeon, he now had a total of 100.
This should be enough to fully enhance both Mukho and Anima.
‘I think it’s better to start with myself.’
[What? This bastard is good with words, huh?]
‘Heh, thanks for the compliment. I’ve always been told I have a way with words.’
[He’s doing this on purpose, right? Hey, Master! Me first! Got it?!]
‘No. You’re at no enhancements, and I’m at +1. Wouldn’t it be faster to fully enhance me first?’
[Bullshit.]
They were on the verge of getting into an argument.
“Quiet.”
Jeong-Hoon intervened, as he always did.
Then he changed out of Mukho and into another piece of armor.
This meant he would enhance Mukho first.
[That’s right!]
Mukho cheered.
‘…To think I’d lose to that guy.’
On the contrary, Anima was dejected and spoke in a gloomy voice.
“I’m going to fully enhance both of you, so why are you upset?”
‘Do you know how important it is to be pushed back in line?’
“But I enhanced you to +1 first.”
‘That’s that, and this is this, isn’t it?’
“Really? Then be content with +1. After Mukho, I’ll enhance the headpiece.”
‘Second place is fine too!’
Jeong-Hoon nodded at his quick change of attitude.
“Right?”
[Puhehehe! You idiot! Be grateful for second place!]
‘This damn bastard…!’
Anima trembled with rage at Mukho’s taunt.
“Ha, should I just stop enhancing both of you? I’ll just enhance Mukho to +1 and stop. That’s fair.”
[No! I won’t fight anymore!]
‘Yes! I’ll stop!’
They hurriedly declared peace.
“Okay.”
Jeong-Hoon started enhancing Mukho.
And soon, all 100 Legendary Enhancement Stones were gone.
They were all used for enhancement.
[+20 Mukho]
[+20 Dragon Anima Bone Bow]
[+20 Headpiece Imbued with the Spirit of the Divine Beast]
The result was much better than expected.
He had anticipated fully enhancing Mukho and Anima, but he didn’t have high hopes for the headpiece.
However, with the last 100th Enhancement Stone, the Headpiece Imbued with the Spirit of the Divine Beast was enhanced from +19 to +20, becoming fully enhanced.
[Achievement Unlocked! You have completed ‘First Legendary Equipment Fully Enhanced!’ 50,000 achievement points awarded.]
[You have ‘Acquired a Legendary Fully Enhanced Equipment (3/3)’.]
[Limit released.]
With this, he had three fully enhanced Legendary equipment pieces.
‘Alright. Now that I have three fully enhanced Legendary equipment pieces, I can move on to the next step.’
The method to upgrade equipment from Legendary to Celestial.
It was to fully enhance Legendary equipment a total of three times and release the limit.
This was also the reason why he couldn’t quickly restore the headpiece even though its grade had been downgraded.
‘That Baal bastard will appear again in two months.’
The reason for the six-month deadline was that the 10 dungeons would appear over a period of six months.
According to Jeong-Hoon’s memory, Baal wouldn’t appear for about two months.
[Kyaa! This is great!]
As it became fully enhanced, a dark aura emanated from Mukho.
“Do you like it?”
[Of course! Why are you even asking? I feel like I’m finally regaining my true form.]
All options were greatly increased.
Physical and magic damage reduction increased from 30% to 50%, and special abilities were almost doubled.
‘It’s still far from my power. But I should be satisfied with this.’
Anima was the same.
Its attack power had been fixed at 1.2 times its level, but now it had increased to 1.5 times.
Furthermore, its special abilities were also greatly enhanced overall.
‘Alright. With this, I can enter the dungeon that Baal will suggest.’
A dungeon that opened before his return, but no one could enter because they didn’t meet the requirements.
If Jeong-Hoon’s prediction was correct, it was highly likely to be one of the dungeons Baal would present.
The condition was to possess at least one Celestial grade equipment item.
And the total sum of stats had to exceed 1,500.
* * *
Ding-dong-
Not long after he finished enhancing, the doorbell rang.
Jeong-Hoon went out and opened the door.
“You’re here?”
“Yeah. What’s up?”
“Brother, I’m here!”
It was Ha-Jin and Bong-Goo who visited Jeong-Hoon’s house.
The reason for their visit was none other than Jeong-Hoon’s summons.
“There’s something I want to do with you guys. Did you get enough rest?”
It was the first time he had seen them since the Great Demon Rakandra.
“I got plenty of rest and spent a lot of points. My family didn’t really play New World, after all.”
“Me too. I had a lot of points piled up, so I renovated the house a bit. Everyone except me is a beginner…”
This was the reason why points became so important after the realization.
Points could be used to purchase everything related to food, clothing, and shelter.
Since point trading between users was also possible, some people were already working as point hunters.
All humans on Earth could now grow.
Naturally, this led to chaos in many areas.
Ha-Jin and Bong-Goo were busy taking care of their families’ safety using their points.
“Good job. So today, I’m going to try to solve that problem a little.”
“Solve?”
“What do you mean by solve?”
Ha-Jin and Bong-Goo tilted their heads in confusion.
“Do you remember me saying there was a lot of content to do after level 201?”
“Yeah.”
“Yes.”
They both nodded.
That’s why they frantically hunted Lord Wyverns to reach level 201 and complete their third class advancement.
In the process, Bong-Goo went through all sorts of hardships to become a Specter.
“I’m going to resume that content now.”
“In this situation…?”
“Uh… this isn’t a game anymore.”
New World had become reality.
How could they proceed with the content in this situation?
“There’s always a way.”
Jeong-Hoon grinned.
Even though New World had become reality, with the creation of normal dungeons, countless new dungeons were generated in addition to the ones they enjoyed in the game.
This meant that dungeons filled with treasures had also appeared everywhere.
Jeong-Hoon’s target was those treasure dungeons.

[World’s First Demon Monster Strategy Video! (You’ll regret it if you don’t watch!)]
[Views: 108,221,232]
100 million views.
A single strategy video had garnered over 100 million views.
And the number of views was still increasing, making it impossible to predict how high it would go.
└ I’m curious when the next strategy video will be.
└ Thanks to you, I was able to clear the dungeon. Thank you.
└ I’m curious about HoneyTube’s face!
This number of views was possible because people from all over the world, not just Korea, had watched the video.
As proof, there were a significant number of comments written in various languages besides Korean.
Jang Dae-Hwi read through the comments one by one, translating them.
“I wonder when the next broadcast will be.”
He now knew when Jeong-Hoon would start broadcasting.
He didn’t broadcast just to earn money, but when he had a topic he wanted to share.
So all he had to do was wait for Jeong-Hoon to contact him.
Bzzz-
Just like now.
“He’s here!”
Jang Dae-Hwi hurriedly answered the phone.
[Oh, what? Were you waiting for my call?]
A slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the smartphone, as if the call had connected immediately.
“Of course. I’ve been waiting for you to contact me.”
[Oh, that’s a bit creepy.]
“…Please don’t interpret it in a weird way.”
[Anyway, you know why I called, right?]
“Of course! You’re going to broadcast, aren’t you?”
[Bingo. I’ll be starting soon, so please post an announcement. And edit it as soon as the broadcast is over.]
“Okay. But what kind of broadcast is it this time?”
What would the topic be this time?
Another hunting strategy video?
The previous video had over 100 million views, so this one would also be very profitable.
But the answer he received was completely unexpected.
[Mining.]
