Life Mission Chapter 55:
Life Mission
Volume 2 Chapter 55
Early in the morning, a call came from Park Jin Hyuk . He was not sleeping because he called at the right time . There was regret in his voice .
-[Have you opened the lucky box?]
-[You opened yours?]
Cha Jun Sung has not even gone to the briefing room yet . He has not seen the lucky box yet, much less opened it . He had left it alone since it will not run away .
-[There’s nothing . I should have sold it and bought a gaming device . You know what came out?]
-[What is it?]
-[Ramen! Ramen came out!]
Ha ha!
Cha Jun Sung held his stomach . $100,000 was disguised as 1 point . Park Jin Hyuk voiced his anger .
-[I can’t even sell it and it’s weird to open it . ]
-[Enjoy it . ]
There is nothing as naive as dreaming for riches through gamble . Whatever the reward is, it is best without disappointment . There is more disappointment with higher expectations .
-[Anyway, you’re saying you didn’t open yours?]
-[Yeah . ]
-[Hit jackpot on my behalf too . But when do we do our next mission?]
-[How many points are left for Head Hunter?]
-[A lot . ]
-[Focus on solo missions . It’s hard to match our times together every time anyway . ]
Head Hunter is a private item sniper rifle that explodes the target .
It is a weapon specialized in sniping and genocide . Its use becomes different by purpose . If even a level 3 is hit legitimately, it could be killed with one shot .
An explosive bomb is pretty expensive, but its power is comparable to that of a grenade . It is worth the investment and they can handle that amount of points without problem .
Unless it is a difficult mission, the points they earn from solo missions are useful .
-[Alright . I think I just need 10 days . I’ll get the Head Hunter and call you . ]
-[Okay . ]
They ended the radio . It would take around that much time for Cha Jun Sung as well . If he completes 7 or 8 1500 point missions, the Wolf Blade is his .
He is thinking of applying for a piecewise force to see how they perform . A piecewise force is when several parties overlap in one force to go into a mission together .
It is as though the 100 people who enter the mission area are all strangers . It is perfect to go into with Park Jin Hyuk . The disadvantage is that they cannot guarantee safety .
Since there was no focus on matching the members, there was no proportion for the level of skill and gear .
It is a group perfect for mediocre players to linger in . There is a famous rumor that only 2 survivors emerged from a 100-person piecewise force .
Was it mission completion? Of course they had quit . There is a reason why Lifers want to go into forces in large guilds . There is a huge difference in the chance of survival .
Currently, piecewise forces are not very active due to the dangerous aspect . There are places that have fairly strict recruitment, but they are all the same .
“Lucky box, should I open mine too?”
Park Jin Hyuk lifted his vision goggles and he looked full of interest . They will receive energy from the morning sun, open the box, and contribute it to purchasing the Wolf Blade .
***
It is a rectangular box the size of a person’s head . A gold pattern is splendidly mixed on a white background . It looks to be expensive just by its appearance .
-[The lucky box is disposable and though it is small, the inside follows a principle similar to the space compression bag . Inside, there is an item . ]
“That means if you’re lucky enough, you could even get a tank worths tens of thousands of points?”
-[You must be very lucky . ]
“I can sense emotion in your words . ”
Odin did not respond . He becomes silent if something is not in his favor . He is called artificial intelligence, but he is sly like a fox .
“You’re saying I just need to push this button . ”
When he pressed a slightly raised, half round button, all sides of the box disappeared . There is no tremendous effect . As it opened, the item came out .
“Is it a stick?”
It is a black bar . Poking at it, it is hard . He guessed it is made of iron or an alloy . It is heavy compared to its length and thickness .
-[That is quite a feat . You have received a black iron alloy . It seems you are not a man of misfortune . ]
“Just explain it to me . ”
-[It is a material items sold in the level B store . Its strength and resiliency is a few times that of steel, so it raises the quality of the gear it is mixed into . ]
“Is it expensive?”
-[2 million for 10 tied together . To calculate for 1, it would be 200,000 points . ]
“Wow!”
Cha Jun Sung showed his happiness on hitting jackpot . He would need to live in a mission for a month to get 2 million points . He had gotten that much at once by chance .
“Wait . ”
Cha Jun Sung calmed down and thought of the stick’s usage .
Where should he use it? He could not sell it to the store or to a Lifer . He would not even brandish it as a weapon instead of his sword .
-[You can only synthesize or produce items with the black iron alloy . ]
“Make gear with this?”
–[Since the material is B class, you might succeed in creating an item that you can use in level C . Shall I show you a list of items it is possible to synthesize or produce?]
“Show me . ”
A hologram that is clearer and larger than the PDA appeared in front of Cha Jun Sung . There were over hundreds of items on the list, but he only took care of the useless ones .
[I would not recommend that you create armor with the amount that you own . I will recommend strengthening your arms . ]
It is 1 stick . He would have been able to create metal armor if he had 4 more .
Iron armor covers the entire body and can be used until the battle shoot . In the chance that he is hit, it can even block a 7 . 62mm .
“Is it just the sword?”
-[If you use the black iron alloy as a foundation and create a sword, you will be able to create a weapon better than the Wolf Blade . ]
There are 2 ways to purchase the Wolf Blade . Either buy the completed product, or create it with materials . There is a 20% discount on the latter .
Cha Jun Sung is wary of creating goods . If something goes wrong while producing it, it will not live up to the completed product or it malfunctions . That is a waste of points .
“Are you going to make it well for me?”
-[You cannot interfere in the production of items . You will have to put trust in your luck . ]
“You’re just supposed to say you’ll make it well . It’s not like you’re selling something for the first time . ”
Cha Jun Sung contemplated for a short time and purchased the materials that go into production by item . He just hoped that there would not be any malfunctions even if its performance fell short .
Various assembly pieces like the vibration engine and energy core scraped up the 240,000 points that Cha Jun Sung had worked like an ant for a few months to gather .
Clunk!
He took his materials and went into a production room in the briefing room . It looks like a small factory . The machine worktable was set to Wolf Blade .
Wiing!
The machine changes . It is adjusting the deployment status to meet the production of the weapon . There are as many shapes to the machine as there are types of weapons .
-[Please place the suitable material in the position the hologram indicates, and choose the functions that you want . It will take 3 days until completion . ]
Beep beep!
Even when he was active as Overload in the virtual version, he had preferred the sword . It is because regardless of the appearance, weight adjustment is possible as long as he has the materials .
However, weight exists in reality . A sword needs to have a heavy feeling to it .
If he makes it as it appears in the virtual, it would feel as light as cotton with his body modification and increased muscular strength .
“I’ll do this one . ”
The shape he chose is a straight line like a sword . The thickest part of the blade is 1cm, the point is 10cm long, and the length of the entire blade is 1 . 5m . The weight is 30kg .
Woong!
He decided to mix titanium with the remaining parts to make a dagger . After starting the production, the black iron alloy disappeared .
He finally had his first private weapon . The weapons he had possessed until now are just toys .
The machine does the direct production, but he had to pay close attention to the small details to match his battle style . He will have a stronger attachment to this weapon than anything else .
“I’ll be back in 3 days . ”
He had butterflies in his stomach thinking about the weapon that would be born . He will love it dearly .
