"What is this?"
There wasn’t a huge change.
It had beco level 4, and accordingly, the grade of the daily missions had risen to ’Normal~Special’. Similarly, it was a system where higher-grade missions were generated probabilistically based on Gold Power.
Even so, since a top-tier grade within the limited range would appear maybe once a week or two, it wasn’t content to expect much from.
Since it jumped from Epic to Special, if a Special grade mission appeared, the reward would likely be substantial. However, since the rewards for ’Today’s Mission’ were determined by difficulty, and many missions were hard to clear easily or during the mission progress, it was sothing of a dilemma.
It was a skill that barely showed its presence thanks to the activation of the ’Gold Mission’.
Or perhaps he would only make ti to clear a mission if he needed gold or if a hard-to-get item, like a pet summon, was listed as a reward.
Added to that was a single line of text with level 4.
That was what mattered.
"Mission Sharing?"
He didn’t lack the understanding of what this ant.
It wasn’t a difficult term that needed grand interpretation.
Sharing a mission.
It ant that ’Today’s Mission!’, which only Kim Buja, the Gold Maker, could attempt until now, could be tackled together with other players.
"Why should I?"
He was more curious about the reason than impressed.
This was a VIP level he had raised by spending a whopping 16,000 gold.
Although the level increase of ’Today’s Mission’ was rely a secondary reward, it was ultimately included in the cost of raising the VIP level!
It was a single package.
Naturally, there was an obligation to provide value and compensation fitting for it.
What benefit could Kim Buja gain by sharing ’Today’s Mission’, which he could fully enjoy alone, with others?
Things like money obtained from others did not count as a reward.
Considering the rarity and the unique nature of the obtainable rewards, re scraps of currency—which Kim Buja now had in abundance—could not hold equivalent value.
▶ Mission Sharing Lv1
→ Shares ’Today’s Mission’ with up to 1 player.
→ Upon completion of the shared mission, all participating players receive rewards.
→ players participating in the share are restricted from acquiring ’Gold Maker’ exclusive currency.
→ When ’Today’s Mission’ is completed through ’Mission Sharing’, the Gold Maker can acquire ’VIP Tokens’ based on the difficulty.
The Gold Maker clearly understood Kim Buja’s mind and provided an explanation.
’Gold Mission’ was not simply an ability to dole out charity to other players.
There was a usage thod befitting the level raised by spending 16,000 gold.
"Oh!"
Kim Buja accepted the detailed explanation.
In fact, even without a special reward, he could have created enough ways to use it effectively.
He had already formulated how to utilize it in his head.
Although limited, he could simply share the mission with Jeong Seora and complete it.
A situation where he could genuinely help Jeong Seora without expecting any reward was not a loss for Kim Buja.
But on top of that, a definite reward for Kim Buja when sharing the mission was added.
"So this is the source for VIP Tokens."
Contents linked in various ways.
The VIP Token was activated, and to collect those tokens, one had to consistently participate in existing content.
It was a wise thod to keep the content cycling organically.
Then, at this point, the most important protagonist.
"What exactly is a VIP Token?"
Information about the VIP Token, activated at the staggering VIP level 5.
[VIP Token]
▶ Grade: Legendary
▶ Category: VIP5 Skill
▶ level: 1
▷ Currency that can be used in the ’VIP Shop’ Luxury Tab.
▷ You can use 5,000 gold to activate the level 1 trait.
It was sufficient.
"Good."
Enough to give it a passing grade.
* * *
The Gold Shop sold truly a lot of items.
It was just that the things Kim Buja used were items that would only appear in fantasy novels; otherwise, if one had the gold, there were many elents like items he had never seen before in his life, food, potions, and so on, that could make the place feel like another dinsion even though the location was Earth.
Of course, to enjoy such things, he would have to unlock the countless locks placed on the countless items, but simply having the opportunity to enjoy such things by investing gold over ti made the Gold Shop good enough.
He learned this ti that there was even a ’Luxury’ tab in such a shop.
"Does it open when the level goes up?"
Looking through the categories, it didn’t seem to be visible right now. Unlike other categories that were locked but viewable, it seed to be sothing that could only be opened by eting certain conditions.
Even the na looked formidable.
Luxury.
It would surely be different from the things in reality that jacked up prices solely on brand value.
What kind of items would be there?
The desire to check it out boiled over.
"I need to get busy sharing."
Along with that, he had to consistently invest in the Gold Shop as well.
Of course, not right now.
Even if the Luxury tab opened imdiately, since it was said that purchases could be made with VIP Tokens, it was rely the difference between seeing a pie in the sky or not.
Opening the possibility was enough.
Above all, the VIP Token and VIP level 5 were re byproducts he had thought to invest a little more in while passing by.
It approached him with enough benefits and content, but the truly important level was not included there.
Thus, his gaze naturally turned to the final skill.
The skill and the Tower of Trials opened upon reaching VIP4.
The reason he had used 5,000 gold and then went on to spend an additional 11,000 gold.
"I sll sothing."
"w?"
He grabbed Hwangdo, who was rolling around on the fluffy bed, and sniffed him.
He rubbed his face against the soft fur, ticulously washed with very expensive shampoo, and smiled satisfactorily.
"I have a feeling I’ll be able to stack up a lot of achievents."
He had experienced a tower before.
The difficulty and concept itself would be completely different, but the important thing was that he could roughly experience what kind of tower the hologram planned in this ga.
[Equipnt Polishing]
▶ Grade: Legendary
▶ Category: VIP4 Skill
▶ level: 1
And the new materials to challenge it had been delivered.
5.
What was the difference between Gold Enhancent and Equipnt Polishing?
At first glance, they looked similar.
Simply interpreting the aning, enhancent was a process of making sothing stronger, while polishing was a process of making sothing more solid, perhaps?
Of course, that was just a useless interpretation of aning with no connection.
What mattered was the efficacy as a VIP skill.
Gold Enhancent increased the attack power, defense, and stats of weapons or armor through gold, while the newly created Equipnt Polishing upgraded equipnt in a different way.
If there was a commonality, it was that for both contents, once invested, the effect applied even if the weapon or equipnt was changed.
This was a very important advantage.
It created a justification to invest care, ti, and gold.
No matter how good a weapon one acquired, and even if one invested hundreds of millions of gold to make it strong, if one found a weapon with a better base than that, they would eventually change weapons.
In a normal ga, in such a case, all the processes of enhancent would be lost with the discarded weapon, creating a situation where one had to craft a new weapon with tears in their eyes.
Commonly and technically, this was actually correct.
It had plenty of probability, and applying the ability to the user’s hand holding the weapon rather than the enhanced weapon itself would be no different from a forced setting in a chaotic novel centered on the protagonist.
If Kim Buja had read a novel with such a setting, he would have clicked his tongue and cursed the author.
He would have criticized them for forcibly fitting it in to coddle the protagonist and eliminate the boredom of crafting and enhancing again when changing weapons.
But right now, there was no reason to curse.
Anyway, looking at the class called Gold Maker, the protagonist was Kim Buja.
If the entity called the author was a god or a hologram, he should be thankful to them.
Failure-free enhancent.
No, an enhancent without destruction—even if there was failure—was ultimately an investnt.
No one considered money spent on raising their own specs a waste.
Therefore, whether it was Gold Enhancent or Equipnt Polishing, it was always welco.
More content that eats up gold increased?
If it was like this, whether two or three, the more that were added, the better.
Above all, Equipnt Polishing was a VIP level 4 skill.
"It should be better than Gold Enhancent, right?"
[Do you want to expand the polishing slot?]
▶ Currently polishable slots: 0 → 1
▶ Required Gold: 100
▶ Success Rate: 99%
▶ Failure Rate: 1%
▶ Destruction Rate: 0%
The mont he clicked to expand the polishing slot with expectation, he paused.
"What is this? This unfamiliar yet familiar feeling?"
A feeling like a hologram he had seen a lot sowhere.
Since it was content with a similar feel to Gold Enhancent, he knew it could be like that, but how should he put it?
’It’s quite unpleasant?’
There weren’t exactly any unpleasant elents visible.
To polish, one naturally had to increase the polishable slots, and while he didn’t know what would happen later, right now the cost to open the first polishing slot was 100 gold, which wasn’t exactly burdenso.
Also, the probability ant there was no way it would fail.
"Ah."
No, wait.
It was 1%.
He realized the reason for the sudden sting as a painful past he had montarily forgotten surfaced.
Then, he soon smirked.
"I really can’t help being an attention seeker."
For a mont, the thought crossed his mind: what if he could film this enhancent? What if other people could see this?
At the sa ti, along with the video of the 1% failure during his first Gold Enhancent attempt, a plan ford in that short mont. If a ridiculous probability—where beginner’s luck was actually a curse—occurred again, it would make for a pretty decent video.
The reason he could laugh was that not only was it a ridiculous probability, but even if it happened, the cost to lose was only 100 gold.
He wasn’t the Kim Buja who trembled over a re few gold during his first enhancent.
"If you’re going to fail, try failing."
He even provoked it confidently.
He used 100 gold without hesitation to expand the polishing slot.
99% probability.
[Slot expansion failed.]
The 1% probability always ca without betraying Kim Buja when he needed it.
"You son of a..."
The will to try again nonchalantly, contrary to his words, popped out.
The hologram blocked even that curse of Kim Buja.
[You have achieved ’Achievent: The 0.01% Man (L)’.]
[The ’Enhancent Stage level’ increases by 1.]
[The ’Polishable Slot’ expands by 1.]
He was too stunned to speak.
Humiliation upon humiliation that left him speechless.
The successes that ca with the failure amplified the absurdity twofold.
