Chapter 36

“Where are you going to be…”
After arriving at Himise through the portal, Ming Hu tried to think of where Wolcha might be, but all he could find was a brief conversation with her in front of the Mugu store.
Jumbled
Ming Hu started walking. His destination was in front of the Mugu store where he first met Wolcha.
“Again.”
Arriving in front of the store, Ming Hu looked around and muttered to himself. There wasn’t an ant in sight.
Sigh
Ming Hu turned his attention to the entrance of the Wugou store and opened the character window.
Name: Ming Hu
Nationality : Helioca [Empire]
Age: 22 Occupation: Berserker
Levels: 139
Life: 301450
Mana: 420
Strength : 15030[1503(+40)] Dexterity : 15 Constitution : 17 Strength : 10 Wisdom : 11
“Let’s find something to wear.”
There might not be many items that could be worn with his stats at the moment, but there were definitely some. Of course there were, but they were likely to be mana-level items, but just in case, Ming Hu walked into the Mugu Store.
Jumbled
“…”
As they entered the Mugu shop, Tilto stared at Ming Hu, his face as expressionless as ever. Ming Hu gave Tilto a quick greeting and began to browse the equipment on display.

Limit: 400 Strength, 400 Health
Physical Defense: 450
Life +1000
Armor made of steel, thin, but steel is still steel.

Limit: 600 Strength, 300 Dexterity
Physical Defense: 400
Magic Defense: 300
Agility +50
This armor is made from a mixture of mithril and steel, and the mithril makes it highly resistant to magic. It’s also lightweight.
“Ha.”
I started with armor, but again, everything I wanted to be okay was restricted.
“Nothing, huh?”
It was then. A strange-looking armor came into Ming Hu’s vision. Ming Hu muttered to himself as he walked toward the armor.
Jumbled
“Is this meant to be worn by a human?”
Apparently, the armor was armor, but it was enormous in size and thickness. It also seemed to be made of steel, and given that, it certainly didn’t look like it was meant to be worn by humans.
“That must be really heavy… is it decorative?”
Arriving at the armor, Ming Hu checked its information.

Limitations: None
Physical Defense: 2000
20% reduced physical damage taken
At 3000 Potency and below, all stats are reduced by 50%, and -50% Movement Speed. 40% Attack Speed
It looks like it’s made of steel, but it’s made from the hide of the Iron Cow, which is said to be harder than steel. It’s big and thick. But it’s also incredibly heavy. It doesn’t look like it was made for humans to wear.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless when he saw the information. Armor that looked like it was made of steel was made of leather. He had finally found an armor that he could wear, one with great defense and special options.
Sigh
Ming Hu picked up his armor and approached the counter.
“…!”
Tilto couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw the armor Ming Hu had brought. He had no one to use it, so he kept it for decoration, but he would buy it, and it was very light.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
Tilto nodded briefly as he watched Ming Hu answer his question. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
“Two hundred gold.”
“Here,” Ming Hu took 200 gold from his inventory and handed it to Tilto. He then equipped the armor on the spot.
“It’s shrinking in size.”
It was really big before you put it on, but after you put it on, it shrunk to fit your body type. Of course, it only shrank in size, but not in thickness. On the contrary, it felt even thicker because of the reduction in size.
“That would tickle a monster fox.”
Your armor has gone up a lot. In addition, physical damage is reduced by 20%. It also has over 300,000 health. It was clear that the monster fox’s attacks would now feel like a tickle.
“Monster fox? Did I say monster fox?”
It was then. Tilto asked, staring blankly at Ming Hu.
“…Yes.”
Ming Hu shook his head at Tilto’s reaction, then nodded and replied.
“Have you ever fought a monster fox?”
“Yeah, I’ve caught a lot of them.”
“…”
Tilto said nothing in response to Minghu’s answer, and after a moment of silence and thought, he opened his mouth to speak.
“Will you do me a favor?”
As soon as Ming Hu heard Tilto’s words, he could sense that Tilto was about to give him a quest.
“Can I hear what you’re asking for?””Umm. I’m building something these days, and I need steel claws from a monster fox that’s supposed to be as hard as steel. Can you get me 30 steel claws?”
<Tilto's Favor1
Tilto is building something these days. But to make it, he needs the steel claws of a monster fox, which are as hard as steel. Capture the monster foxes, collect their steel claws, and bring them to Tilto!
[Monstrous Fox's Steel Claws: 0/30]
Difficulty Level: D
Quest Reward: ???, Tilto's Favor2
"Huh?
When Ming Hu saw the quest in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's not what it used to be.
The quest window looks a little different than it did when you were receiving quests.
"Oh, that's what they meant when they said it was patched.
Suddenly remembering the update, Ming Hu looked at Tilto and nodded.
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
[You have accepted the quest].
After hearing the acceptance message, Ming Hu walked out of the Mugu Store and checked the quest he had received.

[Monstrous Fox's Steel Claws: 0/30]
Difficulty Level: D
Quest Reward: ???, Tilto's Favor2
"I don't know what the reward is, but I'm sure it's something good, like 30 steel claws."
Steel Claws trade for around 140 gold apiece. Thirty of them would cost a whopping 4200 gold. With a quest costing 4200 gold, it was obviously going to be a huge reward.
"Even if the compensation is bad. because there's a connection."
Of course, the rewards could have been bad, but this quest was rewarded with a tie-in quest that was rumored to be incredibly rewarding in proportion to the difficulty. I don't know what the reward with the question mark is, but Ming Hu meant it to be a tie-in quest.
"What to do."
Closing the quest window, Ming Hu contemplated what to do next. He had come to Himise in search of a monthly car, initially to do quests to increase his mana, but now that purpose had faded.
"I've got my armor, I've got my quest, so why don't we go hunting?"
When he arrived in Himise, he was given armor and a quest that would lead to a tie-in quest. Ming Hu contemplated going hunting.
"No, they're probably sold, let's go check them out first."
But Ming Hu shook his head in thought. By now, all of the rare items on the auction house should have been sold. He needed to check them and see how much gold they would have brought in.
Sigh
Ming Hu pulled out a scroll from his inventory.
Swoosh!
In a flash of light, Ming Hu disappeared from the room.
* * * * *
Woof, woof, woof
"Buy an expedited item."
"Buy gold! 10,000 won per gold, up to 500 gold"
The auction house was crowded with players as usual. Ming Hu pushed past them and quickly approached the auction house NPC.
Jab!
When Ming Hu arrived at the Auction House NPC, he opened the transaction status window.

"…"
Ming Hu swallowed hard and began to add up his final bid.
"Ha…. Ninety million."
Eight rares were sold for a whopping $90 million.
"I've sold all my gold… a lot of it already."
All 25,000 gold was sold. The total amount of money from selling rares and gold was 340 million won. Even if you exclude the 5% commission, it was 323 million won, which is over 300 million won.
Sigh
Ming Hu checked each transaction to collect his miles, and finally, after collecting 250 million, he closed the transaction status window and opened his inventory to check his miles.
"…3,316.5 million."
After checking the miles, Minghu decided to send the full amount of miles to his bank account, entered 3,316.5 million and hit the send button. That's when it happened.
[The amount is beyond the Unable to Remit! rating].
[Please raise the rating or lower the amount].
[Your tier is 9. Your daily transfer limit is $500,000].
"…?"
Ming Hu could only stare blankly at the various messages that popped up the moment he hit the send button.
