The Master of Strength Chapter 6

 ­ The Great King Fox and the Skill Book (2)

“Ah… Yes.”

He needed to pa.s.s by the foxes’ habitat anyway to go catch the bears and so Myeong Hu, who was thinking of catching foxes if he couldn’t catch the bears, nodded and replied.

[Quest accepted.]

[Intimacy with Pelun has increased.]

“Thank you!”

“Good-bye.”

After a simple goodbye, Myeong Hu exited the store and entered the butchers right in front of him. Myeong Hu, who had went inside the butchers, went towards Teren who had welcomed him and took out the Fox Meat and the Big-sized Fox Meat from his inventory.

“It’s Fox Meat!”

Teren checked the state of the meat naturally and talked after weighing it.

“1 gold and 20 silver!”

‘… It’s smaller?’

1 gold and 20 silver was obviously big money. However, he thought it was a smaller amount compared to last time and felt slightly bad.

“Here it is!”

However, Myeong Hu couldn’t leave the meat as it was in his inventory and left the butchers after receiving the money bag. Then he went to the guild right away.

“Come in, Warrior!”

Unlike before, the man was awake. And he greeted Myeong Hu cheerfully. Myeong Hu went towards the man and talked.

“Can I see the Skill Book that I can learn?”

“Wait a minute, mm. Here it is!”

[Skill Book: Hit]

“…Is there only one?”

At Myeong Hu’s questioning the man nodded and replied.

“It’s 15 silver.”

At the man’s words, Myeong Hu gave the money and bought the Skill Book.

Level: 1

Mastery: 0%

A strong hit.

Effects: 200% Damage

Mana Consumption: 150

‘It’s better than the Strike Down’

The Mana Consumption was a bit sever, but Hit had better Damage. Of course, however, that didn’t mean he could overuse Hit. It wasn’t as if his Wisdom and Intelligence weren’t high and it was because he himself, who didn’t have any Mana related items, had a very low amount of Mana.

“Come again!”

While hearing the man’s words, Myeong Hu came outside. Myeong Hu, who had just come outside, went straight to the Weapons Shop.

“…”

Arriving at the Weapons Shop, Tilto, who was his usual self with a sharp expression, slightly nodded at Myeong Hu and Myeong Hu nodded back and searched through the equipment that was on display straight away.

Restrictions: Strength 80, Stamina 50

Physical Attack: 60 ~ 65

Attack Speed + 10%

A club made out of iron, filled with the craftsman’s pa.s.sion you can beat with the club spiritedly.

Restrictions: Strength 120, Stamina 80

Physical Attack: 90 ~ 100

Attack Speed – 20%

A broadsword that has been enchanted with the Ice Attribute, overall it emits a cold chill.

“…”

Examining the equipment like that, Myeong Hu was speechless after seeing the Equip Restrictions. His Strength was sufficient. The problem was Stamina. Myeong Hu, who had invested all his Bonus Stats into Strength, couldn’t wear any equipment better than the Hard Iron Sword he was equipping right now.

“Maybe the weapons can’t be helped…”

Of course, it was only the weapons. The story for the defensive equipment was different.

Restrictions: Strength 40, Stamina 15

Physical Defense: 50

Leather Armor that has been touched a craftsman’s hands, whether it is because of being made out of Wolf Hides, it is quite durable.

Restrictions: Strength 20, Agility 10, Stamina 15

Physical Defense: 15

Agility + 10

Leather Shoes that have been enchanted by the Wind Attribute, under the influence of the wind if you wear it you will feel lighter.

It was very close but there were no Restrictions that restricted him.  Also, the Wolf Leather Armor had a higher Defence of 30 than the armor he was currently wearing.  On top of that, in the case of the shoes, Defence was Defence but it raised Agility by 10

“Excuse me, how much are these?”

Myeong Hu lifted up the Wolf Leather Armor and the Leather Shoes of the Wind and asked Tilto

“The armor is 80 silvers, and the shoes are 1 gold and 30 silvers. If you buy both I’ll give it to you for 2 gold. ”

“…”

At Tilto’s words, Myeong Hu checked the amount of money he had. After selling his items he had around 4 gold.

‘…What do I do.’

He had enough money. He had to enough to buy it. However the cost was too high. Although there were differences in the options, he currently was wearing armor and he was expecting to get shoes at the end of his Quest.

‘But… Options are options.. On top of that it’ll be hard to catch bears in my current state.’

However the difference between the options were too great. Also the shoes that he would receive after the completion of the Quest were only gotten after the completion of the Quest. If he didn’t complete the Quest he couldn’t get it.

“Huu..”

In the end, Myeong Hu let out a sigh and put the armor and shoes back. Then he went towards the gloves.

“Hmm…”

Tilto let out a disappointed groan at Myeong Hu who had left the equipment to go see th gloves. Then Myeong Hu, who had gone to search for gloves, picked up a glove and asked for the price. Tilto looked at the gloves.

‘It’s the Gloves of the Earth.’

“It’s 1 gold and 50 silver”

After that Myeong Hu nodded and walked towards the equipment on display.

“Hmm…”

Tilto once again let out a groan of disappointment. However, as Myeong Hu carried the armor and shoes, from where he last left them, together with the gloves, he couldn’t help but tilt his head and looked at Myeong Hu.

‘…Why?’

Why did he bring the armor and shoes he left before?

“Before you said you would cut these two by 10 silver to 2 gold. Then, including the gloves, how much will the three of them cost?”

‘…!’

At that moment Tilto realised that he had been had.

“…”

Tilto looked at Myeong Hu. Myeong Hu was smiling weirdly.

“… Hu, 3 gold and 35 silver, I’ll give it to you for 3 gold and 35 silver. ”

“Thank you!”

Myeong Hu smiled in a satisfied manner and pa.s.sed over the money bag. Then he put the armor, shoes and gloves he had purchased into his inventory and left the Weapons Shop.

Restrictions: Strength 40, Stamina 15

Physical Defense: 50

Leather Armor that has been touched a craftsman’s hands, whether it is because of being made out of Wolf Hides, it is quite durable.

Restrictions: Strength 20, Agility 10, Stamina 15

Physical Defense: 15

Agility + 10

Leather Shoes that have been enchanted by the Wind Attribute, under the influence of the wind if you wear it you will feel lighter.

Restrictions: Strength 80

Once again checking the options of the items, Myeong Hu equiped the items and opened his character window.

Name: Myeong Hu

Nationality: Helioka [Empire]

Age: 22 Job: Warrior

Level: 11

HP: 3870

MP: 420

Strength: 156(+25) Agility: 22(+10) Stamina: 15 Intelligence: 10 Wisdom: 11

Compared with the first time, his stats had increased by a lot.

“Def has been increased, and so has Stamina so…”

Now the only thing left was to go catch the bears. Although he wasn’t sure but with this much he thought it would be enough to catch those bears.

“Gall bladders, here I come!”

*  *  *  *

Flop!

“Hua!”

Myeong Hu lay on th ground and breathed out. Then he looked at the Brown Bear fallen in front of his eyes. Finally he had caught a bear.

“It wasn’t easy but…”

Different from his expectations, hunting bears wasn’t easy. His Defence had gone up and his Health had gone up as well but the bear was still strong. Myeong Hu looked at his own Health that was barely maintaining 1000.

“If I had to fight against two at the same time…”

To catch 1 bear almost 3 thousand HP had been blown away. If a situation came with 2 bears than he had to decide to give up living as 2 times the HP would be blown away.

“For now, atleast I can catch them.”

-Brown Bear Leather has been acquired.

-Bear Gall Bladder has been acquired.

Mumbling like this, Myeong Hu picked up the items that the bear had dropped. Leather, together with gall bladder needed for the Quest, entered his inventory.

“Oh? The start is pretty good?”

Looking at the gall bladder that had entered his inventory, Myeong Hu smiled. Differing from the feeling of catch 30 Rabbits then acquiring the Rabbit Liver, the feeling was good.

Seuuk

“Let’s go!”

Myeong Hu, who had recovered all his HP through resting, got up from his spot. Then he looked around and started looking for bears. In the far distance he could see a bear sleeping.

Jobok Jobok

Myeong Hu shifted the pace. Then Myeong Hu, who had arrived in front of the bear, lifted up the sword and readied himself to attack the bear. It was at that moment.

Flash

-Kuong?

“…!”

The bear that was about to be attacked flashed open his eyes and woke up from his sleep. Meeting the bear’s eyes Myeong Hu couldn’t help but stop in that position and the bear tilted his head while looking t Myeong Hu and the the sword in his hand. Then the bear’s dim eyes suddenly changed to aggressiveness.

-Kuong!

The bear roared and tackled Myeong Hu who has holding up his sword.

“Ughk!”

Myeong flew in the air from the sudden bear’s whole body tackle.

‘Wh, What is this!’
