I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Abnormally abundant magic power. It wasn’t the kind of energy you’d feel in a dungeon that’s periodically raided.

“A dummy dungeon.”

The thought of a dummy dungeon, a one-time dungeon where I had benefited once before in the Black Zone of North Daejeon, came to mind.

The characteristic of a dummy dungeon is that it disappears once the raid is complete and never reappears in the same place.

That’s why Awakened who only seek out dummy dungeons compare them to wild ginseng.

They are that difficult to find, and it’s impossible to see the dungeon in the same location twice.

‘The location is good? Is the god of the South Pacific giving me a gift? This is really great.’

Shin-hwa wore a pleased smile.

Dummy dungeons are unconditionally profitable once you complete the raid, no matter the reason.

You can definitely obtain a top-tier dimensional stone.

However, there is only one reason why top-tier dimensional stones are still not readily available on the market.

It is because dummy dungeons exist in locations where it is difficult to expect a dungeon like this to be.

But after 2025.

As the Nas Continent is connected, the flow of the Awakened world, which accepts the civilization of the Nas Continent, changes greatly.

With research on magic power detection devices gaining momentum, it becomes much easier to find dummy dungeons.

From then on, it’s an era of great exploration.

The journey of countless Awakened to find dummy dungeons, as well as the bloody battles between Awakened over the dungeons they find, became commonplace.

‘Anyway, until then, it will be difficult to find them, so I have to secure the useful places first.’

Shin-hwa swallowed his saliva as he quickly scanned the inside of the dungeon.

First of all, the dungeon itself did not appear to be large.

It was definitely not a large-scale dungeon that would take days to get from the entrance to the opposite end.

‘The environment is unique.’

Instead, the flowers and trees that filled the landscape in front of him caught Shin-hwa’s attention.

‘Mad Flower, Crazy Tree.’

These are rare vegetation.

As unique species that mainly appear only in dummy dungeons, both of them were flowers and trees with ‘excellent’ man-eating abilities.

“Huh?”

Right then.

Shin-hwa was able to identify a familiar plant near the reed forest on the right, which he had not expected at all.

“It’s Katra?”

Although it is treated like a weed to others, Katra is more precious than gold to Shin-hwa!

There wasn’t even a single root left [on Krivia Island], so production had been halted, but upon closer inspection, there were more than 100 roots.

Since one root is worth one enhancement potion, he had easily secured 100 ingredients right away.

“Krivia Island is a complete blessing to me! Except for the bad luck with the fire, the start is good?”

According to Yoon-byeol’s report, the stock price of enhancement potions is steadily rising.

This is because the reactions and reviews of the Awakened who used it were so good.

Especially in the large Awakened community, ‘Unsung Hero’.

Shin-hwa’s enhancement potion, which has no side effects at all,

and has a definite awakening effect, was given a perfect score of 10 points.

Considering that the evaluation score range of other popular potions is usually in the mid to late 8-point range, it was a fairly high score.

Since it has become a “cash cow” product that makes money as soon as it is sold, the value of Katra is very high.

“Should I really set a date and go on a worldwide Katra tour? This material shortage is a chronic problem.”

Immediately after regression, I was only focused on production, but as time went by, the importance of materials only increased.

To make more money, it is essential to secure a stable supply of materials or secure a large amount of materials.

However, if Katra is purchased publicly, someone will definitely suspect that it is a production material.

‘This is not the time to do good for others!’

Shin-hwa had no intention of giving even the smallest drop of sweet honey that he could eat alone to others.

Right then.

Kruuluk. Krook.

A group of enhanced Madillo appeared, parting the bushes with their four legs.

“Oh! Madillo, hello? Looking at your firm chest, you must be an enhanced type?”

It was an upgraded version of the guys he had caught countless times in the Madillo Dungeon of the Yanghwa Guild and sent to the afterlife.

“I have to catch them all at once.”

Mole hunting.

If it can be implemented in reality, it is the most effective hunting method. Of course, that means you have to be the bait.

‘You shouldn’t favor only specific attack repertoires. You have to maximize your proficiency in all repertoires.’

Shin-hwa did not become complacent even now that he had grown overwhelmingly faster than others, and he pushed himself harder.

For a virtuous cycle of power.

Awakened with the talent and power to overwhelm others can enjoy more privileges, benefits, and an abundance of spoils.

Gi-seung-jeon… Retirement! [A Korean internet slang meaning: Start with skills, transition to victory, and aim for retirement!]

Only when all of these are in perfect harmony can the dream of retirement become a reality!

“Let’s go!”

Soon, Shin-hwa sprinted towards the group of enhanced Madillo with light steps.

Each one was a powerful A+ rank, but Shin-hwa’s movements were unwavering.

* * *

Kwaaaa! Kwaaaa!

“If you guys stick together like that, it won’t end well?”

I taunted the Madillo, who had been lured together with alluring movements, to the fullest.

When the guys saw me floating into the sky before their eyes, they opened their mouths wide, revealing their sharp teeth.

It was an extremely natural reaction.

Unless you are an Awakened with the ability to fly, if you jumped vertically, wouldn’t you fall as you are?

Then, it was a calculation mixed with anger that they would chew me to the bone with those crude mouths and teeth.

But.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

I was reaching the peak and coming down, putting all my magic power into Wilson.

The original magic power in the body, the additional magic power drawn from the heart, and even the magic power stored in Wilson itself.

It contained an enormous amount that tripled the magic power storage capacity of a normal body in Wilson.

Shhhhh!

Wilson made a roaring sound that I had never heard before.

It felt like looking at a kettle about to explode, boiling and heaving.

Or it was like looking at a large balloon about to burst as it approached the limit of expansion.

The next moment.

“Let’s go for 2 billion won in one shot!”

The reason I called 2 billion was because all the Madillo waiting below had dimensional stone cores.

It would be nice to get a top-tier dimensional stone, but I lowered my expectations and aimed for a high-tier dimensional stone worth 100 million won each.

Kwaaaa!

Soon, Wilson, who left my hand, began to fall fiercely like a meteorite that could only be seen in movies.

Kwiik! Wiik!

Whether they were fearless or out of their minds.

The Madillo did not back down at all even after seeing Wilson, and the result was…

Kuuuuuuuu…….

It was a mushroom cloud.

At the same time as Wilson’s collision, I used the Blink Ring to adjust the point of impact and fell to another place.

The hot wind that started from the scene blew this way, but it was enough to feel warm.

But.

“It’s over.”

The scene was literally hell.

The guys who had been showing their yellow teeth to eat me just a moment ago disappeared without a trace.

There was no flesh to be seen, and all but some bones were melted by the heat generated by Wilson’s collision.

“Wow, exactly 2 billion won! Just as expected.”

Looking at the 20 high-tier dimensional stones scattered all over the scene, a proud smile spread across my face.

That’s why you have to have power. Then you can easily earn 2 billion won like child’s play with just one blow!

“Making money is so easy?”

I said something that someone would have pelted me with stones if they had heard or seen it.

I headed to the forest with Mad Flowers and Crazy Trees with a lighter step than before.

After a while.

“The taste is very bad, but if you make a *pulguk* [Korean soup made with greens] by mixing the two, it will help increase your magic power…….”

I frowned as I looked at the two plants that gave off a unique stench even though they were quite far away.

Usually, all the plants that can be found in the dungeon have usable recipes.

However, the combination method is often difficult to find because there are many strange combinations like enhancement potion production.

The flowers and trees in front of me are actually difficult to see together in a dungeon, but for some reason, they are attached to each other.

“I’ll have to cut them all down generously and make them into a year’s worth of health juice. Keu keu.”

A wicked smile came out on its own when I thought of my colleagues spitting out juice fountains as soon as they drank it.

Of course, I thought it was a joke, but it will actually be very helpful if you eat it.

Because there is no better recipe for an Awakened than a ‘magic power enhancement recipe’.

Rank is magic power, and that magic power is the raw material for expressing talent, isn’t that the world?

Growth is essential.

“Okay, are you guys ready to die too? You know I don’t care if you’re plants that can’t talk, right?”

Kishishishishi!

“You can talk.”

I immediately released my hand.

They are tall and lanky, but their durability is terrible.

Now, A-rank monsters are not enough to buy time.

My interest was only focused on who the boss monster was at the end of this dungeon.

Everything else is just obstacles in the middle.

And.

“Let’s go!”

A commotion began.

The subsequent raid was smooth sailing.

There were sporadic battles, but they were manageable enough, and there were no particular crises or difficulties.

However, it took about an hour to reach the final destination because I was carefully scanning and moving forward.

Unlike other dungeons, dummy dungeons have a high degree of magic power saturation, so each monster had a dimensional stone core.

I killed all the monsters I saw along the way, and thanks to that, the value of the dimensional stones I acquired reached 30 billion won.

It was a very easy income for a one-time hit in a short period of time!

‘The problem is those guys.’

However, from the moment I identified the identity of the boss monster, my body tensed up. Because I was nervous.

‘Maruk and Marik brothers.’

They are humanoid monsters, referred to as brothers, and they are twin brothers.

Both have long, slender legs and impressive green long hair.

They looked exactly alike except for a mole on the corner of their mouths.

‘First of all, if I get rid of them, I’m guaranteed at least 10 top-tier dimensional stones, and I can also get a magic power increase buff.’

The expected estimate was good.

10 top-tier dimensional stones are worth over 100 billion won in simple physical value.

Moreover, considering the unique magic power buff on the two brothers, I am even more tempted.

This is because the buff of the two brothers is not a buff that is lost upon death, but a buff that is inherited by the person who killed them.

In my previous life, there was a record of a sharp increase in murder rates after this buff was publicly known.

That means there are many Awakened who covet the buff.

Anyway, the two brothers have a truly broken talent called ‘intangibility talent’.

It is a higher concept than transparency.

Transparency is simply a form in which what is visible disappears, so if the location can be identified, it can be hit.

Since the entity exists, you can stab it with a sword or shoot it with a gun as much as you want.

However, intangibility means that the existence itself disappears temporarily.

In other words, when attacking the place where the shape has been removed with intangibility, the means of attack will pass through!

“It won’t be easy.”

I tightened the straps of the enhanced suit I was wearing.

“Handsome guys.”

“Generally have weak lower bodies.”

Then the guys provoked me. “Where are you spouting such nonsense?”
