Chapter 105: Chapter 105

The user, Lee Yoon-Soo, looked at the result in front of him with disbelief.

He had been surprised when his +6 dagger returned as +24.

“Wow… This is crazy. I thought it would be amazing if it just reached +20…”

He had thought it would be a miracle if it reached +20, even if it wasn’t fully enhanced to +30.

But it had surpassed +20 and reached +24.

A mere Rare grade weapon had an attack power of over 200.

“The critical hit rate is almost 4% too…”

And an additional 10% attack power increase when using dagger skills.

He was very satisfied.

Lee Yoon-Soo hurriedly entered the exchange where he had placed the order.

The exchange was still alive.

[Open Service!]

[For the next 48 hours, we will enhance your equipment at 10% of the current market price!]

[My enhancement success rates are as follows!]

– Normal: 100%

– Rare: 100%

– Epic: 80%

– Unique: 60%

* Officially certified by New World

So the Rare success rate was 100%?

If it was going to be 10% of the price for 48 hours, wouldn’t he be able to try fully enhancing his other equipment?

Gulp!

‘I definitely can’t spread rumors about this.’

This was probably the first honey pot he had found.

So he had to gather the equipment that needed enhancement as secretly as possible and place orders.

‘Money… I need money.’

The problem was that Lee Yoon-Soo had no money.

If he had money, he would have blindly placed another order with the enhancer who had ruined his enhancement, asking for a restoration.

‘…Should I break my savings?’

The savings account where he deposited 1 million won every month.

It had been a little less than 3 years this year, so he probably had about 32 million won saved up.

‘Hmm… I was diligently saving up to change to a mid-size sedan.’

His beloved compact car that he had been driving for about 4 years.

He had planned to change it to a mid-size sedan when this savings matured.

But that plan was now wavering.

‘An opportunity like this with such a cheap price won’t come again…’

A chance to get all his equipment fully enhanced.

After much thought, Lee Yoon-Soo decided to break his savings.

He could save money again, but such a golden opportunity wouldn’t come again.

Yoo Na-Eun looked at Jeong-Hoon across from her with a speechless expression.

“So… you’re saying you really got it?”

“Yes. I even opened an exchange.”

Jeong-Hoon showed her the exchange he had opened.

There was even one completed request in the request list.

“Oh my… That’s impossible.”

A martial artist having the unique authority of an enhancer?

What a bizarre phenomenon.

Did this person perhaps use a hack?

If so, it wouldn’t be impossible…

“I didn’t use a hack. And if I did, do you think I’d be sitting here comfortably?”

Jeong-Hoon chuckled, as if he had read her expression.

Yoo Na-Eun’s face flushed red, caught in her thoughts.

“O-Of course I’d be suspicious!”

“Then why did you write the letter of recommendation?”

“That’s because Min-Ji kept pestering me…”

“Anyway, that’s not important.”

Jeong-Hoon’s face became serious.

Seeing that, Yoo Na-Eun quickly composed her expression.

“Yes. So what’s the reason you came to me again?”

“Do you have anything to enhance?”

“Enhance?”

“Yes. I want to do some enhancing, but I don’t have any suitable equipment or enhancement stones.”

Yoo Na-Eun was the one in charge of enhancing and repairing at Ho-Yeong.

Jeong-Hoon was planning to enhance equipment with her permission.

“Enhance? Hmm… It’s definitely true that your skill would be more than helpful.”

“Then I guess there’s no problem?”

“Yes. What grade?”

“Let’s just do Rare for now.”

“Alright. Then are you going to start right away?”

There was an abundance of Rare grade weapons and enhancement stones.

If Jeong-Hoon, a Ho-Yeong guild member, wanted them, she could let him use them anytime.

“Can we postpone it for two days? I have some preparations to make.”

“Yes. Feel free to contact me.”

* * *

“Is that true?!”

Ha-Jin’s face was filled with shock.

“Yes. So I’m thinking of going with enhancement as the next content.”

“Crazy… How did you even think of getting that?”

Ha-Jin clicked his tongue.

He deciphered the Ancient Recipe and obtained an enhancement skill?

Okay, he could understand that, even if it was a bit of a stretch.

But to think that he had also obtained the right to operate an exchange and repair, which only enhancers could have…

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand.

“Let me tell you a secret, I got some information about enhancement.”

“How…?”

“I have some connections.”

Jeong-Hoon carefully mentioned his connections.

Only then did all the pieces in Ha-Jin’s head fall into place.

‘Ah… This guy, his connection must be someone at New World headquarters.’

If that was the case, then his plays so far weren’t impossible to understand.

“But… Is it okay to tell me about this?”

“Huh? Why not?”

Ha-Jin fell into deep thought with a serious face at Jeong-Hoon’s puzzled look.

‘This crazy bastard.’

The words Jeong-Hoon had just uttered could have caused a huge stir.

If he had said this to anyone else, he would have been buried alive, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

‘How can he so blatantly reveal that he’s committing illegal acts?!’

It was a miracle he hadn’t been caught yet.

“Ha… Why did you do that…”

Ha-Jin put his hand on his forehead, looking troubled.

“What? What kind of imagination do you have to make that face?”

Ha-Jin felt frustrated inside at Jeong-Hoon’s nonchalant attitude.

You idiot!

If you get caught doing what you’re doing, people will kill you!

How many people were enjoying New World?

If he exploited it, he wouldn’t just face legal punishment, but also the wrath of those people.

In severe cases, he could even be killed in secret.

“…You just said you had connections at the headquarters.”

“Huh? I never once mentioned the word headquarters.”

“Dude! If it’s not the headquarters, where else would you get that kind of information?”

“There is one place. There’s an enhancer in Japan. He told me the information.”

Of course, it was from his previous life.

Iwase Haruto had monopolized the Legendary equipment market as an enhancer, and later, through the power of the ‘Explorer Enhancer’, he discovered that other classes could also acquire some of the enhancer’s authority.

Of course, the enhancement skill spreading was something that happened later, so it was revealed quite late.

“Is that true…?”

“Yes. Isn’t it strange anyway?”

“What is?”

“I’ve said this many times… If it was like you said, would the headquarters be watching this? It’s obviously very suspicious right now.”

“Aha!”

“What aha, you idiot.”

Jeong-Hoon glanced at Ha-Jin with a look of pity.

What should he do with this guy?

“No… It’s just that you only do unbelievable things…”

Ha-Jin, relieved, fidgeted and glanced at Jeong-Hoon.

He reflected on himself for doubting his friend for a moment.

“Phew, so what’s the story about the dedicated editor?”

Jeong-Hoon changed the subject, and Ha-Jin’s face brightened as he quickly responded.

“Ah! Dae-Hwi said he’d be our channel’s dedicated editor! He’s managed a channel with a million subscribers, so he’ll be reliable!”

“Really?”

Should he call it luck?

Most of the videos uploaded on famous YouTube channels were edited by editors.

They cut out the useless parts and gathered only the essence.

Jeong-Hoon had already watched the video uploaded on Honey Tube.

It was definitely a clean, essence-filled video, worthy of praise.

‘I don’t intend to focus on YouTube.’

From the beginning, YouTube was just an option he added as he twisted the history of his previous life one by one.

YouTube would never be a priority for Jeong-Hoon.

But there was a world of difference between an edited video and an unedited one.

And if more people watched it, he could deliver more honey to Korean users.

‘Then maybe Korea won’t have to repeat the same history as before my return.’

The moment New World synchronized with reality, Korea, which had started later than other countries, quickly fell.

It was a natural consequence, as Korea had already been crumbling due to the continuous precursor symptoms before the synchronization.

“What should we do? Should we just refuse?”

Ha-Jin asked again.

“What about the pay?”

He knew that when hiring an editor, you had to pay them per video.

“Ah, don’t worry about that. He said he’d do it for free until the channel starts making money!”

“Really? Then let’s do it.”

“Okay! I’ll contact Dae-Hwi right away.”

“Yeah. And you, come to Ho-Yeong tomorrow.”

“Ho-Yeong? Why there?”

* * *

A few days later, Yoo Na-Eun contacted him, saying that she had prepared the equipment and enhancement stones.

“Hello. I’m Jang Ha-Jin, Jeong-Hoon’s friend.”

“I’m Yoo Na-Eun.”

She didn’t seem too pleased that an outsider was in this space, but it was Jeong-Hoon’s request, so she forced a smile.

“We’ll just film and leave quickly.”

Ha-Jin smiled brightly and received the camera from Jeong-Hoon.

“Filming…?”

“Yes. I’m planning to film the enhancement process.”

“Ah, I see. Are you uploading it to YouTube?”

“Oh?! Yes! How did you know?”

Enhancers often filmed themselves to show off their enhancement skills.

Of course, it wasn’t just for showing off, but they uploaded the filmed videos to large sites like YouTube to promote themselves to many people.

The main purpose was to advertise their exchange so that people would place enhancement orders.

‘But does Jeong-Hoon really need to focus on YouTube?’

Yoo Na-Eun tilted her head.

If he had joined Ho-Yeong, he wouldn’t have to worry about money, and Jeong-Hoon wasn’t even an enhancer, but a martial artist.

She couldn’t understand why he wanted to record his enhancement skills.

“…Why do you want to use YouTube?”

“Yes?”

“Ah, it’s nothing. Then please finish filming quickly.”

“Okay!”

Yoo Na-Eun sat down a little distance away.

She couldn’t leave because she was curious to see what kind of results the martial artist would show with Epic equipment and Epic enhancement stones.

“Live?”

“Yes.”

Showing it live would be much more effective than uploading a video.

‘Ho-Yeong alone isn’t enough.’

Even if it was just for enhancement attempts, the title count was based on full enhancements.

That was the reason for actively utilizing YouTube.

“Starting!”

Ha-Jin signaled.

It meant the broadcast had started.

– Hi

– Honey hello~

– Another LIVE?

– Wow haha another honey tip release?

Perhaps because of the impact of the previous LIVE, the number of viewers quickly reached 500 shortly after the broadcast started.

Jeong-Hoon looked at the camera and opened his mouth.

“Today is a promotion.”

– Promotion?

– It looks like they’re going to do enhancement content.

– Huh? Was he an enhancer?

– Ah, what the heck lol It was an exchange promotion?

– That’s a bit disappointing…

As soon as he said he was going to promote something, viewers started leaving in droves.

“Uh…? They’re all leaving before we even started…”

Ha-Jin fidgeted and tried to talk to the viewers.

“It’s okay. I told you before, didn’t I? If you stay until the end, you’ll get a chance to get some honey.”

At the same remark as in the Ruined City, the viewers seemed to be curious.

– Oh?

– He’s saying that with such confidence, so there must be something, right?

Jeong-Hoon started enhancing the Rare grade sword in front of him.

[Enhancement successful.]

[Enhancement successful.]

[Enhancement successful.]

And golden effects flashed repeatedly.

30 successful enhancements.

A fully enhanced sword was created without a single failure.

“Done. A fully enhanced Rare grade sword has been created.”

He opened the detailed information of the Rare grade sword so that the viewers could see it.

– ??

– What???

– No, wait a minute hahaha

– Was it originally possible to succeed continuously…?

– What the hell is this;;
