Chapter 126

[Not Tradable]
Limitations: None
Permanently +10% Dexterity when taken
Clearly, the elixir was not tradeable, but the recipient was not fixed to himself. Ming Hu intended to use the elixir on Prominus and Karot.
“I wouldn’t have spent it if you gave me bonus stats.”
Ming Hu looked at the elixir with a wistful expression and muttered to himself. Pets don’t get bonus stats for leveling up. It varied from pet to pet, but when a pet’s level increased, a certain number of stats would increase slightly, and that was it. If there were bonus stats for leveling up, Ming Hu would never have used the elixir.
“Maybe I’ll see that ray then. Hmph.”
Looking at Karot in the pet window, Ming Hu remembered the black beam he had seen before. That devastating skill that had taken away 400,000 of his health in an instant, and over 1.5 million in a subsequent explosion.
“I never thought I’d die.”
Thinking back to that time, Ming Hu checked the number of elixirs he currently had.
“Ten powers, 110 remaining…”
There were ten elixirs of strength, and 110 elixirs of each of the other stats except strength. After checking the elixirs, Ming Hu frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
“That’s going to cost a little bit of a premium.”
Karot had no problem, but for Prominence, even with all the elixir she had, she didn’t have enough strength to equip the Arang Sword.
“I’ll just feed him carrots for now.”

[You have used a Wisdom Elixir on Lich Karot, permanently increasing Lich Karot’s Wisdom by 10].
[You have used a Wisdom Elixir on Lich Karot, permanently increasing Lich Karot’s Wisdom by 10].
“Done.”
After using the elixir on Karot, Ming Hu confirmed Karot’s information.
Name: Karot [Rich]
Level: 1
Power: 150
Agile: 100
Health: 250
Stamina: 1500
Wisdom: 1500
After checking the stats, Ming Hu equipped Karot with the Staff of Darkness and closed the pet window with a satisfied expression. Then he looked around. He wasn’t done yet. Looking around, Ming Hu opened the skill window and muttered to himself.
“I think the palace was… I think it was a little bigger than this one…”
<Summon Palace

"It's not listed…"
The skill didn't mention the size. Ming Hu recalled the size of the palace he had seen and double-checked the size of the clearing.
"Sounds like…"
At first I thought the size of the palace was larger than the vacant lot, but then I looked again and realized they were similar.
"Well. It's not like there's a building there."
It wasn't like they were in a clearing and there was a building right away, so Myung-hoo opened his mouth to call out, thinking he'd be fine.
"Summon Palace!"
[Summon a palace].
Swoosh!
With the message, the palace appeared before Ming Hu's eyes.
"…?"
When Ming Hu saw the palace, he shook his head slightly. Wondering if he was mistaken, Ming Hu rubbed his eyes and looked at the palace again. But the palace had not changed, and realizing that he was not mistaken, Ming Hu looked at the palace with a puzzled expression and muttered to himself.
"What…what is it, why is it so small?"
The summoned palace was very small. I thought it would fill the vacant lot, but it didn't even come close to filling it, let alone halfway.
"That's weird…"
Ming Hu opened the Skills window again and checked the Summon Palace skill.
<Summon Palace

Proficiency : -.

Effect: Summon a Palace.

"No levels… no proficiency… what? Is this really the end?"
The Summon Palace skill could not be leveled up and mastered. Ming Hu closed the skill window and looked back at the palace.
"…"
If the palace he'd seen in the Black Castle had been an adult, the one he'd summoned now was a newborn infant. It was small enough to be considered a child.
Jumbled
Ming Hu walked into the palace first.
[You have entered the palace].
[The Administration window is available].
Once inside, the management window popped up with a message. Ming Hu stopped walking for a moment and stared at the management window. There were a lot of features in the management window, but what caught Ming Hu's attention was the Upgrade button at the bottom of the window.
"…No way."
Ming Hu pressed the Upgrade button. A new window appeared. Ming Hu was speechless for a moment as he looked at the new upgrade window.
"Was that really an upgrade?"
The upgrade window had a lot of different features. Ming Hu pressed 'Increase Physical Defense'. A message popped up.
[Increasing the Palace's physical defense costs 500 gold. Do you want to increase the Palace's physical defense?]
"…"
After looking at the message, Ming Hu pressed No, then looked away and pressed the function that said "Grow Horizontally".
[Increasing the size of the palace will cost 800 gold, do you want to increase the size of the palace].
"You're growing."
There was a reason why the palace was small. When Ming Hu realized why, he closed the upgrade window and checked the palace's information in the Management window.
Owner: Ming Hu
Palace size: 5M wide, 5M long, 3M high
Palace Durability: 3000
Palace Physical Defense: 4000
Palace Magic Defense: 4000
"Hmm."
When Ming Hu saw the palace's information, he grimaced.
Jumbled
Ming Hu stepped out of the palace and looked at the palace he had summoned, remembering the one he had seen in the Black Castle.
"That's going to cost a lot of money."
It was clear that it would cost a lot of money. Even if I invested all the gold I had, it wouldn't be as much as the palace I had seen in the Black Castle.
Siaak
Ming Hu returned the palace to subspace. With his business done, Ming Hu began to walk back to the forge, his mind racing.
Sigh
Arriving at the forge, Ming Hu walked straight to his seat, removed the OPG he was wearing, and placed it on the workbench. He opened his inventory, placed the materials he had purchased, and opened the crafting window.
"Let's make this first…"
In the crafting window, Ming Hu selects the powerful Ogre Power Gauntlet, the next tier up from the OPG, and presses Craft.
[Hold the hammer].
[Tap the marked spot with a hammer].
After pressing Create, Ming Hu followed the prompts and began swinging his hammer.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
[You have successfully crafted a powerful ogre power gauntlet].
After seeing the crafting success message, Ming Hu immediately selected the Ogre Power Gauntlets of Growth in the crafting window and pressed Craft.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
[You have successfully crafted the Ogre Power Gauntlet of Growth].
After crafting the Growing Ogre Power Gauntlet, Ming Hu looked at the crafting window, then selected the completed Ogre Power Gauntlet under Growing Ogre Power Gauntlet and pressed Craft.
"…"
Ming Hu stared at the growing ogre power gauntlets and materials on his workbench for a moment, then picked up a hammer and began to strike.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The materials on the workbench began to shrink at a rapid rate.
Boom!
[You have successfully crafted the completed Ogre Power Gauntlet].
"Finally."
Ming Hu smiled at the crafting success message and looked at the finished Ogre Power Gauntlets on his workbench.
"It's smaller."
I was a little worried about how big it would get, but the finished Ogre Power Gauntlet was actually quite small. It was even slightly smaller than the base OPG.
Sigh
Ming Hu picked up the completed Ogre Power Gauntlet and checked the information.

“Oh, it’s up another 200.”
After checking the information on the completed Ogre Power Gauntlet, Ming Hu smiled once again. Ming Hu quickly put on the completed Ogre Power Gauntlet and opened the character window.

“…and.”
I was just in awe. That was the moment.
“My lord?”
Hearing a voice behind him, Ming Hu turned around to see who had called him.
“Oh, hello. Mr. Revill.”
It was Revil who called for Ming Hu. Ming Hu looked at Revil’s hand. In Revil’s hand was a scroll.
