My Lord Who Is Being Prudent! [EN]: Chapter 218

218. Luck (1)

[Current Mileage] – 3,050,270 M

I have 3 million mileage.

And 300 million gold that disappeared with it.

《Kkue, kkue···! Keueuk···!》

And even the Mobile Lord, who hasn’t fainted yet.

“It’s still holding on?”

Cyan’s eyes widened.

It became stronger, invincible.

After all that fuss, it seemed to be working.

Because of that, Ruben was in chaos right now.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Kurururung···!

Ttukttakttukttak.

The buildings and facilities were being built on their own.

It was going crazy due to the cash injection of a whopping 300 million gold.

Unless I bought an instant completion ticket, I would have to watch that scene for at least a month.

But well, it didn’t matter much.

[Current Gold] – 218,750,000 G

I still had 210 million gold left!

《T, this can’t be···!!》

《It’s a dream···! This must be a dream···!!!》

Tting!

《Wake up nowwwww!!!》

The Mobile Lord screamed in horror.

Cyan lightly pressed the X button and opened two special facilities in the 【Mileage Shop】.

and .

I was thinking about building , but I quickly shook my head.

[ Construction Effect] – Patients in ‘treatment’ within the territory will not die.

This effect was only activated ‘within the territory’.

I decided to strike first.

It was not a very useful effect.

Click. Click.

With those two touches, 3 million mileage evaporated.

《N, no more···! No moreeeee···!!》

Along with the desperate scream of the Mobile Lord.

『 (50,000,000 G)』

『 (50,000,000 G)』

Two special facilities were opened in the 【Territory Facilities】 section.

Each facility costs 50 million gold.

Cyan pressed the purchase buttons for the two facilities with slightly trembling hands.

Click. Kkukuk.

With those two light touches, 100 million gold instantly evaporated.

《─────!!》

And an unknown notification window of the Mobile Lord popped up.

Did the bursting screams exceed a certain range?

In other words, did it exceed the allowable limit of causality?

“Could it be swearing?”

I thought it might be possible.

Well, anyway.

“More importantly, it’s still holding on?”

The important thing was that the Mobile Lord did not faint.

It didn’t faint even with an additional cash injection of 3 million mileage and 100 million gold.

But it seemed like it would happen soon.

A groggy state where it would fall if touched.

On the other hand.

[Current Gold] – 118,750,000 G

Cyan still had over 100 million gold left!

“Aaaah···!!”

Cyan shuddered without realizing it.

Even after all that cash injection, there was still money left.

Even after spending 400 million, 100 million was left!

Is this, is this really reality!

“────!!”

Cyan’s shout exceeded the allowable decibels and echoed.

《─────!!》

The Mobile Lord’s scream also exceeded the allowable causality and burst out.

As Cyan and the Mobile Lord were trembling while screaming differently at the same time.

-Huh? Cyan?

A chilling voice was heard from one side of the office.

Rather than a voice, it was more like a will.

I regained my senses and looked around.

There was no one to be seen there.

In short, it was a sound heard from the air, but Cyan was not very surprised.

Why would there be a reason to be surprised?

Cyan turned his head and looked at one wall.

At the same time, ssuk.

A woman appeared through the wall of the office.

Long silver hair and grayish-white eyes.

A woman with a captivating beauty.

It was none other than Leia, the guardian spirit of Ruben and the butler of the Lord’s Castle.

-When did you come!!

Leia, who had completely broken through the wall, shouted loudly.

Cyan also smiled with joy and replied.

“A while ago. I’ve been here for a while, didn’t you know?”

-Yeah. Not at all. Ruben was suddenly in chaos, so I came to check it out just in case.

Leia spun around Cyan.

-Huh? Wait a minute.

Then suddenly, Leia stopped moving.

And then she looked at Cyan with a strange expression.

-What is it? What is it? Something’s wrong?

“What is it?”

-You··· You seem a little different.

“Different? Me?”

-Yeah. How should I say it, the atmosphere is like, like this. Like that.

Soon, Leia made a big hand gesture.

It seemed like she was trying to explain something she couldn’t express in words.

-It’s something subtle, complex, mysterious, and bizarre. You could also say it’s strange.

As expected, I couldn’t understand anything she was saying.

-Because of that, I can’t feel your energy at all.

Leia asked with a puzzled face.

I wondered why Leia didn’t show up when I came to Ruben.

-This is··· Ah, that’s it!

Soon, Leia shouted loudly as if she had remembered something.

-You look a little more like Kyle!

“Ah.”

And then Cyan was able to understand Leia’s words to some extent.

The battle with Roswell and Nathan.

In that battle, Cyan was able to reach the realm of a true Master.

Also, by using Asura, he was able to step into the realm beyond what he saw.

Maybe that influence was unknowingly flowing out.

-You’ve become so cool!

Leia’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Cyan.

I didn’t think her deep grayish-white eyes could sparkle, but···.

Leia’s eyes were definitely like that.

-I need to be nervous now too?

“Huh? I don’t think it’s that level.”

Cyan let out a hollow laugh at Leia’s words.

Charlotte’s younger sister and a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit, Leia.

I shouldn’t be able to do anything about Leia yet.

But does it look different to Leia?

-No. Really. I think Kendrick would think the same.

Leia was looking at Cyan with a surprised expression.

It seemed like it had definitely changed since she even mentioned Kendrick.

‘Hmm··· I’m curious since Leia said that.’

Because of that, Cyan also became quite curious.

What would it be like if I fought Leia now?

What would it be like if I sparred with Kendrick?

I couldn’t honestly guarantee whether I could win or not.

But I was confident that I wouldn’t be easily defeated like before.

‘I also need to properly understand the power.’

Cyan had previously grasped the power of Ruben and Elandur.

That power was nothing more than Cyan’s thoughts.

To be precise, I couldn’t calculate each variable.

The variable of Elandur, Kai.

The variable in Ruben, Cyan.

Kai’s variable could not be grasped right now.

But wasn’t Cyan’s variable different?

‘If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated.’

This was also a saying from Sun Tzu, who wrote The Art of War.

I still don’t know who Sun Tzu is.

‘I need to properly check myself.’

It seemed necessary to objectively grasp the level of growth this time.

‘Let’s finish the cash injection first.’

I needed to knock out the Mobile Lord for the instant completion ticket.

At the moment when I was thinking about finishing the cash injection and sparring with Kendrick.

‘Ah, right. Come to think of it, my weapon was destroyed.’

Cyan was able to recall the destroyed weapon.

It was none other than during the battle with Roswell and Nathan.

To be precise, it went bad with the use of Asura.

Elixir and Megingjörð [mythical belt that doubles the wearer’s strength].

And it was in a precarious state due to the high-level Mahon Sura Sword.

This use of Asura made it an irreversible state.

‘How much money did I pour into this···.’

A whopping SSS-grade sword.

As Cyan remembers, he poured in 21.1 million gold.

I was honestly a little upset that such a sword was destroyed.

‘Maybe it was because it was an SSS-grade sword that it was able to withstand it until now.’

Cyan shook his head.

Well, anyway.

I had to do the postponed sword enhancement.

I had to make it the next grade of SSS-grade for now and for the future.

I don’t know, but it will require a huge amount of gold for enhancement─.

‘Wait.’

At that moment, a terrible thought came to Cyan’s mind.

That’s because of the cost of enhancing the sword.

The cost of making one SSS-grade sword was a whopping 21.1 million gold.

On the other hand, SS-grade is about 100,000 gold.

With simple calculations, the price jumped 211 times to enhance one grade.

In other words, it jumped a whopping 211 times just to go from SS-grade to SSS-grade.

Then, if it jumps 211 times when going from SSS-grade to the next grade···?

And if 21.1 million gold is multiplied by 211···.

“4.4 billion···?”

The mind goes blank for a moment.

Tting!

《The game··· has been flipped···!!》

In the meantime, the Mobile Lord’s notification window popped up.

#

“Don’t say such nonsense!!”

Cyan shouted without realizing it.

Leia was startled by Cyan’s sudden shout, but Cyan didn’t care.

4.4 billion.

Not 440 million, but 4.4 billion!

Bullshit.

This was bullshit.

“Don’t be such a bullshit!”

It’s also a living bullshit!

Anger boiling from the depths of my soul.

Cyan glared at his smartphone.

Tting!

《That’s why, who···! Told you to inject cash so ignorantly···!》

In the meantime, I heard the Mobile Lord’s taunting.

Even though it was in a groggy state, it seemed to have the strength to taunt.

《Cough···! Kkueeeek!》

Of course, I don’t know if that’s taunting or struggling.

“Damn it!”

Cyan clenched his smartphone.

In the meantime, a kkueeeek sound leaked out.

But I still didn’t care.

4.4 billion.

No matter how I think about it, isn’t it 4.4 billion!

How can I collect that much money!

Even if I could collect it.

It was really crazy to pour all that money into weapon enhancement.

So it wasn’t 4.4 billion.

4.4 billion was not allowed even if I died!

And it was 4.4 billion only when I did a simple calculation.

No matter what, it wouldn’t cost 4.4 billion.

There’s no way 4.4 billion will be spent.

Cyan calmly calmed down his excitement.

Then he tapped the calculator in his head.

21.1 million gold was spent to make an SSS-grade sword.

But there were hidden elements in this 21.1 million gold.

First of all, I took Morcru’s energy to 100%.

I paid the maximum enhancement cost that could be consumed by failing the 5% chance 20 times.

In addition, at the time, S-grade equipment could not be mass-produced.

The material cost for one S-grade equipment at that time was a whopping 300,000 gold.

This was combined with 20 failures, and 21.1 million gold was consumed.

But now, S-grade equipment can be mass-produced in Ruben with simple materials.

In addition, I could receive the 1+1 effect by receiving the effect.

Of course, what was needed for enhancement was the same grade, SSS-grade.

However, the cost of raising it to SSS-grade was actually reduced.

‘Come to think of it, I have by-products of the World Tree now.’

And now there was the World Tree, Instiz.

Instiz’s by-products could increase the enhancement probability.

Of course, I had to make a catalyst, but this was also a product produced in Ruben.

I could receive the 1+1 effect by receiving the effect.

‘It’s not 4.4 billion.’

When I looked at it in many ways, it wouldn’t cost 4.4 billion.

I had to calculate it accurately, but···.

So I had to check what the enhancement probability of the next grade after SSS-grade was.

Cyan immediately accessed the 【Enhancement】 section.

I checked the enhancement probability of the next grade.

〈Achievement – A person favored by luck is required to unlock the next grade of equipment.〉

《Achievement: A person favored by luck.》

[Achievement Condition: Possess an SSS-grade equipment set.]

The equipment Cyan currently possessed was an SSS-grade sword.

And an SS-grade armor.

The armor was still at SS-grade.

Baldeok.

Cyan got up from his seat.

-Uh, where are you going?

At that moment, Leia asked in embarrassment.

“To Semir!”

Cyan left the office without looking back.

#

Ppambarabam!

《Enhancement Success!》

A simple fanfare sound and a simple notification window popped up.

And with it, a piece of armor was visible in front of Cyan.

It was none other than an SSS-grade armor.

I could mass-produce S-grade equipment with simple materials.

And the enhancement probability from S-grade to SS-grade was 100%.

However, since the pure enhancement cost was paid as a fixed value, there was no way to avoid it.

50,000 gold when going from S-grade to SS-grade.

100,000 gold when going from SS-grade to SSS-grade.

So the number of attempts was 11.

150,000 gold was spent each time I tried.

In total, 1.65 million gold was spent to make an SSS-grade armor.

As expected, it didn’t require as much cost as before.

《Achievement: A person favored by luck (Achieved!)》

《The next grade of equipment after SSS-grade will be unlocked with the achievement!》

The next grade was unlocked with the achievement.

Cyan immediately checked the probability of the next grade.

《SSS-grade → Transcendence Grade》

[SSS-grade Enhancement Cost 200,000G]

[Enhancement Success Probability 0.5%]

Enhancement cost 200,000 gold.

Success probability 0.5%.

“······”

Cyan was speechless without realizing it.

That’s because the success probability of SSS-grade was 5%.

It was reduced by a whopping 1/10.

Cyan calmly tapped the calculator in his head.

The material cost for S-grade equipment was almost non-existent.

However, the enhancement cost was paid as a fixed value.

S-grade is 50,000 gold. SS-grade is 100,000 gold.

And since 2 SS-grade equipment are needed, multiply it by 2 here.

But it’s okay if I receive the effect.

In addition, I can increase the enhancement probability with the by-products of the World Tree.

“Hoo···!”

My head was getting too complicated.

The calculations were twisted and my head was throbbing.

But Cyan didn’t stop thinking.

(Enhancement Probability +0.1%)

(Enhancement Probability +0.15%)

(Enhancement Probability +0.25%)

There are 3 by-products that can be added.

And if all 3 are added, the probability increases by 0.5%.

‘But to get by-products, I have to apply a catalyst to Instiz.’

Fortunately, the catalyst could be made by Jerry, a researcher in Ruben.

However, the material cost was a total of 200,000 gold.

The situation was bigger than the belly button [a Korean idiom meaning the solution is worse than the problem].

But when I thought about it carefully, it wasn’t just that.

Not only could I increase the enhancement probability to 1%.

Since the catalyst was a product made in Ruben, I could receive the 1+1 effect of .

As a result, the material cost was only 100,000 gold.

When I looked at it in many ways, it was more profitable to add by-products.

Cyan tapped the calculator until his head got hot.

And the final conclusion.

“With 100 million gold··· it’s worth a try.”

It seemed like I could try to rub it in with 100 million gold.

And the gold Cyan currently had left was 118,750,000 G

100 million and 18 million gold more was left.

“It’s worth a try.”

It was a probability worth trying.

I just had to not accumulate Morcru’s energy to 100%.

Morcru’s energy accumulated each time enhancement failed.

As I checked, 0.37% of energy was accumulated upon failure.

Of course, if the energy is accumulated to 100%, the enhancement will definitely succeed.

But until then, about 250 failures had to be made.

To accumulate Morcru’s energy to 100%, I needed at least 200 million or more.

However, the enhancement success probability increased by by-products was 1%.

Statistically, enhancement is attached once every 100 attempts.

‘It’s not 250 times.’

As expected, there was a higher probability that it would be attached within 100 million gold.

“How··· should I make more equipment?”

At that moment, Semir asked.

Semir was holding a sledgehammer in his hand and looking at Cyan as if he was looking at him.

“I’m going right away.”

With Cyan’s words, Semir immediately started making equipment.

And was it really a descendant of Morcru?

Or was it because of the effect?

Kkang! Kkang!

Semir’s touch to make the equipment was truly amazing.

#

Hwaaaaaaaak!

A bright light burst out from the sword.

Cyan quietly watched the bursting light.

How much time had passed like that?

Ppambarabam!!

A huge fanfare sound burst out.

At the same time, a notification window popped up on the smartphone screen.

《Enhancement Success!!》

Cyan nodded calmly.

I didn’t show any signs of joy or surprise.

That’s because this was an SSS-grade sword.

Now I had to enhance this SSS-grade sword again.

“But making an SSS-grade is also a job.”

That’s because it was 100% from S-grade to SS-grade.

But it was only 5% from SS-grade to SSS-grade.

So the gold consumed to make this one SSS-grade was about 1.1 million gold.

“It’s a good thing I increased the enhancement probability with the by-products of the World Tree.”

Otherwise, it would have cost several times more.

The probability increased to 15% like that.

The lower the grade, the higher the probability of increase.

Well, anyway.

Kkang! Kkang!

Semir continued to make equipment.

Jerry was also making World Tree catalysts in the lab.

Cyan took out the existing SSS-grade sword along with the SSS-grade sword in front of him.

Enhancement to the next grade, Transcendence Grade.

《SSS-grade → Transcendence Grade》

[SSS-grade Enhancement Cost 200,000G]

[Enhancement Success Probability 0.5%]

Cyan calmly added the World Tree leaves, branches, and fruits in order.

[Enhancement Success Probability 1%(+0.5%)

The enhancement probability was increased to 1% like that.

“Hoo···!”

Cyan took a deep breath.

Pure enhancement cost 200,000 gold.

The cost of making an SSS-grade sword was 1.1 million gold.

The cost of trying to enhance it once was about 1.3 million gold.

With 118 million gold, I could try about 90 times.

And the current enhancement probability was 1%.

The probability of success was once every 100 times.

So 90 times was a little short, but.

“It’s not a fight I can’t try.”

It wasn’t a fight I couldn’t try.

Probability was just probability.

Tting!

《Gambling is the shortcut to ruining your family!》

The Mobile Lord’s notification window suddenly filled the screen.

The Mobile Lord, who was in a groggy state, was gone, and the Mobile Lord was taunting with excitement.

Cyan gritted his teeth and pressed the X button on the notification window.

Anyway, there had to be 90 attempts.

Now was just the first attempt.

I shouldn’t be shaken already.

Cyan pressed the 【Enhancement】 button without hesitation.

Click.

《I’m starting the enhancementaaaaat!!!!》

The Mobile Lord’s notification window popped up as if he was excited.

Hwaaaaaaaak!

At the same time, a bright light burst out from the SSS-grade sword.

And.

Ppambararabam ppamppamppamppam!!!

A huge fanfare sound was heard from the smartphone.

But Cyan didn’t react much.

That’s because it was obvious that he was just teasing.

When I tried enhancing it last time, this fanfare was heard when a trivial achievement was achieved.

It was clear that it was an achievement that didn’t even sound like the first Transcendence grade first enhancement failure!.

Cyan gritted his teeth and checked the smartphone screen.

And as expected.

《Achievement: It worked because I just pressed it? (Achieved!)》

An achievement that didn’t even sound like anything was achieved─.

“Huh?”

Cyan tilted his head for a moment.

That’s because of the name of the achievement that has been achieved now.

“It worked because I just pressed it···?”

That name didn’t sound very good.

Cyan calmly lowered his gaze and checked the achievement conditions.

[Achievement Condition] – Enhancement success with 0% Morcru’s energy.

And the content of the achievement conditions that were seen.

What is it···?

At the moment when I was thinking that.

[Enhancement Great Success!!!!]

A notification window that the enhancement was successful filled the screen.

The mind goes blank for a moment.

“······ Uh?”

《······ Eh?》

Cyan and the Mobile Lord muttered at the same time.
