SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 132

Get a recruit! (One)

[Do you want to change your engineering skill to a Gnomish engineering skill?][You have acquired the Gnomish engineering skill.][Obtain many Gnomish Engineering recipes.]

Needless to say, yes As soon as I finished my job change, the gnome-specific method of making a mechanical engineering device flooded my mind. They are quirky and useful.

“I’m going to do it here.”

Lokan, who had been educated for a while to get used to the gnome’s mechanical engineering skills, stopped learning when his proficiency reached 75% and showed a stagnation.

If he continues, he’ll be able to feed him up to 80% or so, but time was a problem. For a few days devoted to mechanical engineering, others will be working hard to level up and accumulate achievements.

Of course, he couldn’t even compare himself to him yet, but he was not vigilant.

‘Now I have to do my best.’

It is fortunate that I came all the way here due to my lack of talent. I decided to slowly raise the rest through mastery and repetition, and first started Nokorocon.

Even if the skill level was up to 80%, he would be able to make enough of the extraordinary items he wanted.

‘Accessories are… … I’m sorry, but I’ll have to fill it up in moderation for now.’

Rokan, who raised his combat power through engraving and secondary job proficiency, finally focused on accessories.

I have no intention of changing his necklace and bracelet, but the ring was something to think about.

The total number of rings that can be worn is five.

The investigator’s ring and the cowardly wizard’s ring are still useful, but the cowardly mage’s defensive ring and escape ring have not been used much.

At that point, it was clear that it would be beneficial for me to put the other ring on the other ring slot right now.

It’s a cowardly wizard’s escape ring, just keep it without selling it and replace it when you need it and use it.

“Because it’s unnecessarily expensive.”

Although Lokan is already making an exorbitant amount of money, it was also a waste of money to invest expensive money in accessories that have no additional abilities.

Fortunately, what he is looking for is not a general stat-up accessory.

What Lokan obtained from the integrated auction house was a ring with options to increase critical strike chance and critical damage, and a ring to assist with the imprint of blood with life absorption on hit.

When I finished setting up like that, I felt like I had the basics.

It was unreasonably strong to be basic, but it’s not wrong to say that you’ve done everything you can do right now.

“It will take practice.”

After looking at himself for a moment, Rokhan nodded his head. Transcendence spell engraving. It took practice to write it properly.

However, Rokhan’s practice was different from others. There is no point in slaughtering scarecrow-like guys, so he chooses a target that can draw out his true power to the limit.

“Shall we start with the quest?”

There were just a few suitable opponents out there. A fallen monster.

Thanks to the magic map, it was possible to determine the approximate location, and the targets were those who did not have to deal with the whole group.

But before that, you should do whatever you can.Once, Lokan headed to the investigation team building to receive the quest related to the corrupted monster, and he had to face an absurd sound at first.

“Hey, Senior Investigator Rokhan!”

“… … ”

Looking back, it was the guy who gave me the senior investigator quest to receive the investigator’s bracelet the other day.

The guy who showed a sly smile threw something at Lokan.

“Get a recruit!”

“… … !”

It was the recruit’s pack. In fact, it was empty inside, but it was somehow similar to that called a duffel bag, probably because the game maker was Korean.

‘this… … .’

Senior investigators could have assistants. However, there may be people who don’t want it, so I’m giving the investigator’s bracelet, but this time the assistant is attached semi-forced.

two too.

[Receive a recruit!][Quest]

Set an example as a senior investigator and train successors.

-Completion condition: Recruiters have earned a certain level of merit

-Completion Reward: Insignia of the Survey Team

If you didn’t want it, you could not get it. The investigator’s bracelet is the item they gave you. However, the insignia of the investigation team that appeared as a reward for completing the quest made it impossible.

It is a handheld item that increases the ability level and exerts an effect just by having it in the inventory.

The options aren’t overwhelming, but it’s good to have something you can have when you can, because the effects of handheld items overlap.

‘Damn it. I can’t help it.’

Because of that, Rokhan also accepted reality. All you have to do is grab the collar and carry it to fill the merits.

As he raised his head with that thought in mind, he saw a skinny half-elf standing haphazardly and a gnome looking so small that he was about to perish.

“ね.”

The moment he saw them, Lokan burst into laughter without realizing it. I remember the two faces clearly.

He thought that there were no normal guys in the investigation team, but I’m sure these guys will be the investigators who succeeded him.

The two were known as geeks in their previous lives. Of course, it was also the reason that he was able to make a name for himself because of his skills.

Click Resistance Mitty.

Wheel Hamel.

That was the name they were called by.

‘This is also a relationship.’

I had contact with them in my previous life. Most of them ended in a bad relationship, but he was very interested in people who played unusual games like them, so he met a few times and talked to each other.

“Joe, I respect you, Lokan!”

And among them, Hamel was a big fan of his. Thanks to that, it was quite annoying, but it wasn’t to the extent that I was squeamish because I knew Rokhan’s personality. It’s just like following as a fan.

“Hehehehe, thank you, Lokan-sama!”

Mittiya was a guy who bowed down to the strong with a thorough salesman mind.

Then the story goes fast. In particular, he decided that he was strong enough to not have to worry about himself, and he was the type to act without being intrusive, so he decided that it would be okay to put it into action right away.

At this point, I don’t know how complete they are, but if they were active in the Central Continent and even obtained the ring of a member of the investigation team, it didn’t seem like they would die at all.

‘It’s three people… … . Coincidentally, it’s just right.’

3 people including Rokhan himself. There were only a few corrupted monsters that could be easily caught with this power, but Lokan came up with an interesting idea.

He wanted to try, but he couldn’t because he was alone. He decided to do what he couldn’t do yet because he didn’t have enough people to trust, not his skills.

“Follow me.”

As soon as the party was over, Lokan immediately checked their level and headed somewhere with them.

Of course, his own level and information had been kept private.

“Hey, Rokhan, where are you going?”

“… … .”

“Hey, this guy is talking nonsense! We do not care!”

When Lokan doesn’t respond, Mitty bows down on her own. It felt like a comic book combination, but Lokan led them to the place they wanted.

“You must pursue the corruption.”

“AHA! Corrupted monster. It is, too. Because it’s an investigative team. I thought so!”

The fallen monster knew both of them well. They must have faced the fallen monster to become a member of the investigation team.

However, what Rokhan was trying to do now was not the simple hunting of corrupted monsters as they thought.

“No, we are now going after the ‘behind’ that creates the corrupted monster.”

Behind the creation of the fallen monster. He is trying to chase after the mastermind who makes the beads of corruption and corrupts monsters and NPCs through all sorts of methods.

“back… … yo. This ”

Their eyes fluttered at those words.

Although they caught a few corrupted monsters behind them, they couldn’t help but be surprised because they didn’t know the cause or the background.

It was not only the two of them, but the other users as well, so I felt a little regretful, but I can’t help it. Because the route he knows can only be attacked with at least 3 people.

He decided that it was better to use them rather than to attract clumsy guilds. Even though they are geeks, they are reliable as far as their skills are concerned.

“Follow me.”

Rokhan, who had hardened his heart, did not hesitate. He used the teleport magic circle directly without giving any time for maintenance.

The two of them opened their mouths for the high price, but it didn’t matter. There was enough money to overflow, and considering the things that can be gained from this work, that’s a small amount of money.

Lokan, who had paid all the teleport costs of the two murmuring people, moved as if dragged by the collar.

“Here… … ”

“Get ready. The battle will begin soon.”

Lokan didn’t share much information with them. Because you don’t have to.

Of course, sharing information can make it easier to attack, but ironically, Rokhan trusted them, so he pushed them into trouble.

“Eh”“It’s a battle.”

They arrived in an ordinary village. The only peculiar thing is that there is a single mountain infested with high-level monsters nearby.

So, do you want to climb a mountain?

Their thoughts were only half right. Climbing the mountain is correct, but it is precisely to find the secret dungeon hidden in the mountain.

“Ah, Lokan-sama, let’s go together!”

What unfolded in the eyes of the two people who followed Lokan, who silently left the village and headed for the mountain, were level 230 monsters that were brutally slaughtered.

Currently, monsters at a level that none of the users dare to guarantee a match were treated as miscellaneous mobs and were torn to shreds.

“OMG… … .”

“After all, Rokhan-sama!”

Mitty followed with a look of dismay, and Hamel with a look of love.

[You have entered the secret dungeon of the fallen alchemist.][Experience gained for 3 days is increased by 30% as an initial entry bonus.][The drop rate is increased by 30% for 3 days as a bonus for the first entry.][The initial entry bonus is enhanced by 10% due to the effect of the title ‘Pioneer’.]

The entrance to the secret dungeon that appeared when you climbed up to the middle of the mountain and sacrificed the corpses of the monsters you caught while ascending.

Upon entering, the first entry bonus appeared as usual.

“40%”

Apparently, the effect of the title pioneer was applied to the party members as well. It wasn’t something I wanted to reveal much, but anyway, it wasn’t a bad thing, so I pretended not to know and moved on.

“bombing.”

Quang!

It was Rokhan’s blow that turned that bewildered expression into a light of tension. No, to be precise, it was an enemy existence that endured the terrifying explosion and raised its body.

[Painless Gluttony][Lv 253]

“Ugh!”

A monster of over 250 levels.

The two of them swallowed a breeze when the appearance of a guy with an unusual shape like a dough, which they had never even heard of before. To fully accept an attack that they are not sure if they can even dare to handle it

It was beyond admiration for his incredible strength and even fear.

“It’s just shock absorption.”

Scratch!

But Rokhan was still just moving indifferently. He cut the one that spreads out like crushed hotteok dough and then rises up horizontally.

I don’t know if it was a knock or a blow, but this attack definitely worked. Its body, which had been split in two, trembled, and immediately drooped.

“try.”

As if this was a simple demonstration, Lokan took a step back and looked at Mitty and Hamel with the eyes of an examiner.

And he stared intently at the two Gluter Needles approaching from beyond.
