One Man Army - Chapter 226

Chapter 226

‘First, should I try to shine the light of synthesized synthesized Magic Engineering?’ (EN: Remember, successful upgrades and enhancements are celebrated by a flare of light in EL . )

Synthesized Magic Engineering was a synthesized general skill that Sang Hyuk had long ago chosen as his seventh general skill .

It was not possible to obtain this skill cheaply because it was made by synthesizing four skillbooks that were more expensive than you can imagine . (EN: In chapter 38, we find out that “High Speed Swimming” is created from “Swimming” and “Sprinting” common skillbooks . synthesized Magic Engineering is obviously created from 4 very expensive skillbooks, beyond the common grade)

However, Sang Hyuk had steadily commissioned them through Gold Mountain’s NPC buyers, and now he has collected exactly 23,700 synthesized Magic Engineering Skillbooks .

‘If this much, then it should be at least +8, right?’

It if were the other users, they would have been satisfied to get just +5, not +8, but Sang Hyuk was different

‘It is such a shame that it can’t be broadcast . ’

In fact, videos of players enhancing equipment was a very popular type of broadcast content . In particular, as he had been collecting a lot of books for a long time and using them up in a  high-speed strengthening rush, then it would significantly boost his ratings .

But, unfortunately it couldn’t be broadcast .

First of all, if he broadcast it, then the Immortal, the Gold Mountain, and the relationship between them could be exposed and it could have a long-term impact on his plans by creating a sense of incongruity uselessly .

So, Sang Hyuk was filming the video, but didn’t intend to broadcast it .

Sang Hyuk, who had filled his empty virtual bag with the skillbooks of the synthesized Magic Engineering to max capacity, took it straight away to the Synthesizer NPC nearby .

Although he could strengthen items by himself, composing and enhancing skillbooks could only be done by those with the Synthesizer Skill .

To be honest, if he wants to increase his chances of success even a little, he could find a famous user who was making a name for himself as a Synthesizer, but if he does that, he will pay a lot amount of money, and moreover revealing this amazing strengthening rush to a player Synthesizer would make more work, so he just went to the NPC . (TL Note: it will be troublesome to explain to the other users how did he get these amazing things)

“Let’s start . ”

After handing over all the skillbooks to the NPC, Sang Hyuk nodded and immediately began the strengthening process .

Of course, he put on the title ‘God of Reinforcement’ .

He wasn’t the synthesizer, but the effect was applied to the things he commissioned so it certainly made sense .

Of course, there was no prefix or suffix effect, so he merely had to equip the title .

Swiiinng, flash! Flash!

Pajik, sshhhhh .

Succeed, succeed, failed, succeed, succeed, succeed, failed, failed, succeed… . .

The successes and failures of the enhancement keep on going, but Sang Hyuk continued to nod repeatedly while watching the procedure emotionlessly .

The first amount which was handed over to the NPC was 5,000 synthesized Magic Engineering Skillbooks . Sang Hyuk thought that 5,000 volumes would never make +8 . It meant that the chances of strengthening were low .

Then, as he expected, the 5,000 books turned to dust and disappeared into thin air in about an hour and a half .

It took more than an hour to enhance it even without resting so this procedure was not easy .

Sang Hyuk, who had cooly blown 5,000 volumes, handed in 5,000 more . Sang Hyuk wasn’t impatient .

In the end, the probability of the strengthening was dependent on EL’s RNG (Random Number Generator), so if he keeps on challenging then it would be done one day .

He also had prepared so many ingredients for it .

The reinforcement continued . The good news was that the Synthesizer NPC did not lose focus and continued strengthening .

If it was a user, he would have said that he was exhausted and couldn’t do it anymore, but because it was an NPC, he just kept on reinforcing without any words .

It burst, stuck and burst again… . . the success and failure were repeated in front of Sang Hyuk’s eyes . Then after at least 17,000 volumes of synthesized Magic Engineering Outline Skillbooks became dust and disappeared like that, the fourth synthesized Magic Engineering Skillbook +8 appeared again .

Sang Hyuk had told the NPC to stop once it was +8 .

He had stopped three times before, and each time Sang Hyuk shouted to challenge the +9 level and he had to watch the skillbooks disappearing like dust .

“Huuu… . ”

Sang Hyuk took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth .

“We will do it one more time . ”

When Sang Hyuk’s permission was given, the Synthesizer NPC attempted to strengthen it without hesitation .

Sssss, flash!

Phatttt!

Then it appeared the Synthesized Magic Engineering +9 .

Then Sang Hyuk could smile pleasantly .

He gave up the +10 challenge . There were still a lot of skillbooks left, but there was no guarantee that he could make another +9 again .

“Let’s call it a day . ”

Sang Hyuk received the +9 Synthesized Magic Engineering Skillbook from the NPC .

[Proficiency: 0]

Synthesized Magic Engineering was a general skill that would be essential for players aiming for the ranker position . Of course, it has not yet been disclosed that this skill even exists .

This was a secret general skill that had been learned by a few top-ranked players in person when they were able to face off against the Sun People in the Continent of the Sun .

“Synthesized Magic Engineering is done… . and the next thing is ‘The Art of Conversation’?”

After synthesized Magic Engineering, the 8th general skill that Sang Hyuk chose was the Art of Conversation .

At first glance, this general skill, which seems unnecessary, was unexpectedly an important skill .

Sang Hyuk had prepared about 19,000 books synthesized in advance, as he did for synthesized Magic Engineering .

It was less important than synthesized Magic Engineering, but Sang Hyuk was also going to make it +9 .

* * * *

After four hours of hard work, Sang Hyuk was able to eventually get ‘The Art of Conversation +9’ skillbook
