Grow With In-App Purchases

14. The saint must have believed (3)

“Where are you going?”

“yes?”

“It seems like I only buy things I need for practice.”

“Ah! hehehehe, yes. I went up to Class A this time. So I applied for practice!”

Among the SSRs, there are some that have been updated with new characters, and there are some characters that have been SSRs since the beginning of the game.

Shine was the original SSR character.

In addition, the performance is ambiguous, so it is also a character that has been completely pushed out by new characters that are constantly updated.

Still, I once had Shine in my party.

‘I just wrote the scenario without much thought, but the stats were so good that I wrote it.’

Her screenplay was also quite marathon.

But Shine didn’t have bad compatibility with me, the scenario I did just once was not bad, and the stats were very good.

‘I used to use it quite reassuringly, but it was forgotten because there were many new characters with very good performance.’

In fact, the appearance of the character in the game was too ordinary compared to the saintess I met today, so I quickly forgot it.

However, the Shine I saw in real life was not a look that a guy like me could disparage by saying it was ordinary.

‘A pretty girl with a patch on reality is no joke.’

And the content of the scenario that I did only once at that time…

‘Stopped growth, break through the wall of talent?’

Shine fails to grow from B-class to A-class.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t set an A-class record.

The family, which had been silently waiting and supporting her, could not stand it any longer and lost Shine.

The beginning of the scenario was to receive an order from the family to stop supporting them.

‘But if I wear the unique equipment here, I’ll have a choice.’

If you wear unique equipment, there is a grace period for the order from the family to stop supporting.

And during that grace period, you have to break the A-class record with Shine.

Shine, thinking that experience is what he needs to grow up to Class A, applies for practice and leaves for the contaminated area.

In fact, applying for practice is the same whether or not you are wearing your own equipment.

However, if you go to practice without your own equipment, your stress will be reduced by 50%.

‘If my stress reaches 100%, I will be hospitalized in the ward, so I have to manage it well.’

What if you hit 100% stress while on a mission?

Of course, there are also penalties.

‘Because I can’t use the skill at all.’

Can you win the mission with a character that can only use normal attacks?

Of course it is impossible.

That’s why stress is considered one of the main culprits in ruining a scenario.

“It must be dangerous.”

I paused my head-rolling, which had been complicated for a short time, and said.

“Ah~ It’s something I have to do right after I graduate anyway, well. I have to work hard now so that I can enter the real world later and be less criticized.”

Shine doesn’t know.

What a dangerous experience this practice gave her.

‘It’s difficult because I can’t remember.’

When entering a character scenario, the game recommends an item.

Possessing this item increases your survival rate! He said.

Even if I had a really good memory, it would have been impossible to memorize every single scenario.

‘But I know what’s helpful.’

I got up and went into a small storage room.

“Huh? Where are you going? You have to pay for this.”

“wait.”

It is true that the items placed on the shelf of the general store were quite usable, but the real thing was not put there.

Even with those items, wasn’t Shine surprised and surprised by how this is here?

‘Those are dangerous, but they’re good enough to sell here.’

However, the real ones I pulled out were products that could not be sold here.

The place where these real exhaust products will be used should be at the forefront of the polluted area, not at training institutions like academies.

Even now, this world was threatened by pollution.

A world like an apocalypse where hundreds of lives are being lost just to reduce the pollution level by even 1%.

So, the powerful scrolls that help in attacking the contaminated area were being distributed only to the front.

‘With this, this, and this, I’ll be able to eat rice cakes.’

The scrolls in the game have various effects.

Who doesn’t like to keep clicking on the scroll?

I like that multiple effects come out when I press them all at once.

I also took potions to restore physical strength (large) and restore mana (large) and went outside.

“Put that away.”

“Eh?”

“Do this.”

“What is all this?”

“I heard you’re going to practice. The one you picked is for kids.”

“Ugh! Anything better than these?”

He doesn’t answer and only wiggles his eyebrows, so he and his friend take a look at the products.

“How many effects are packed into one scroll?”

Shine’s friend checked the item and muttered in surprise.

“Are you good?”

Shine doesn’t know how to look at things and asks her friend if it’s good or bad.

“It’s impossible to distribute something like this! I don’t know how a store like this sells it. Mister, is this really an official distribution?”

“Hey! He said he wasn’t a black trader.”

“These are things that can only be bought by going to the front lines.”

Shine’s friend is quite clever.

“Doesn’t that mean it’s really good?”

“That’s right. It won’t be a loss no matter how much you buy it. People like us can’t get it even if we want to.”

“So I will live or not.”

“Aah! Buy it! I will definitely buy it.”

Shine, blinded by her friend’s words, hurriedly tried to take out her wallet.

“Mister, do you have anything else besides this?”

At that time, a friend asked me if there was anything else.

“Something else?”

By the way, the friend Shine brought was one of the characters I picked.

The problem is that the character is an R-class character, not an SSR.

I had never raised an R-rank character before.

I only knew his face, but I didn’t even know what ability he had.

“Actually, the reason I followed him was because I was interested in the weapons he sold.”

“Ahh.”

Shine’s skills improved dramatically after obtaining the weapon, so from a friend’s point of view, it would be impossible not to be interested.

‘Is there a weapon he can use?’

Unique equipment is equipment that only SSRs can have.

Non-SSR, R-class characters did not have unique equipment.

“There must be a lot of weapons hanging there.”

“Not those common weapons. I need a special weapon that suits me. Like Shine.”

Where can you get the weapon Shine got for a penny or two?

Moreover, since it was an R-class character, there was no equipment that could be sold.

“doesn’t exist.”

“yes?”

“No.”

My friend was disappointed with my cold answer, and Shine noticed her friend.

“ah…”

“My, the equipment I use is not something that can be easily obtained. Weapons with good performance are rare. Isn’t that right, mister?”

Looking at his eyes, he notices that he wants to adjust the rhythm to his words.

Why am I at the moment? I thought about doing it, but he realized that he was also a nobleman and belonged between A and B, where he could be harmed if he tried to kill me.

“Among the weapons hanging there, there are many useful ones.”

No matter how mass-produced they are, they are weapons picked up at a shop with a charge.

The quality was better than the weapons made by tolerable artisans.

So before asking me if I had any weapons, I told them to look at the weapons sold at the general store.

“Looks like you have an eye for things.”

“hehehehe, I’m not complimenting it because it’s my friend, but that friend’s family is a family of artisans known for quite some time. That’s why they have an eye for things. Take a look. There might be something useful.”

“…okay.”

I didn’t reject Shine’s proposal, even though I didn’t like my answer when I declared that I had no friends.

After looking at the weapons hanging in the general store for a while, I asked to take a closer look at some of them.

I took out the equipment my friend wanted to see and helped me take a closer look.

“The weapon quality is all above average. It’s as if…it was cloned.”

They say he comes from a family of artisans, but he has a sharp eye for things.

In fact, these weapons were no different from clones, so it could be seen that they had accurately penetrated the essence.

“How did you mass-produce and make a product like this? I’ve never heard of a family of artisans with such skills.”

Shine’s friend looked at me as if she wanted an answer.

I shrugged and said.

“I’m a merchant who sells stuff. Don’t ask because I don’t know anything else.”

“Isn’t there a place to pick up things? Can you introduce me there?”

Would you like me to introduce you to a place to pick up things?

How would you introduce the shop window?

He keeps making things difficult for people by asking for things that don’t work.

“Why should I?”

“I’ll take care of the introduction fee.”

It is impossible no matter how much you add to the introduction fee.

It’s annoying to refuse.

I glanced at Shine, who didn’t come alone and brought a friend.

“If you don’t have anything to buy, leave. Don’t interfere with business.”

If you ask questions in this way, you will have no choice but to find an answer.

Shine seemed to sense that my heart was getting more and more uncomfortable, and hesitantly poked his friend’s side.

“I guess I’d better not ask…”

“Wait a minute. I’ll give you a really generous introduction fee. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Should I chase you out?”

“Hey. Stop it~ The old man is uncomfortable. Huh?”

“Really not? It won’t be too bad that way either.”

There is no place that made this in the first place, so what kind of nonsense is that?

The reason that friend asked me to connect with him must have been to obtain ‘skill’ after all.

But what use is billing to me as a technology?

“I have nothing to say.”

Fortunately, Shine, who was looking at the situation restlessly in the middle, forcibly took her friend out of the store.

“I’m sorry Mister! I’ll stop by again next time! Thank you for recommending this. I’ll buy you a present when I get back from practice!!”

When you leave, leave a quick greeting for me.

I had an ominous thought that today wouldn’t be the last time Shine’s friend was bothering me, but I decided to think it was a good thing because I was able to stop by before practice and pack the items.

While living as a mercenary, he had experienced countless deaths of people he had talked face-to-face with, but he couldn’t help but feel dirty each time.

‘Even for the sake of this world, it’s something to be avoided for an SSR-class Shine to die early.’

First of all, I decided to wait for that guy to come back safely.
