Chapter 27: (1): Season 1 – Preparation


    Just as the game was being updated, the normal mode was gaining momentum, and something else emerged. It was the Item Shop. It wasnt like going to a shop in an actual game. yers could designate three spots where the item shop would appear, and within those spots, they could activate the item shop.


    The peculiar thing was that money was not required to buy items. What was needed was experience points. You had to exchange experience points for items. Of course, there were limitations. You could only use the experience points equivalent to level 1.


    For example, lets assume that it takes 100 experience points to level up from level 1 to level 2. The yer could use only those 100 experience points. Suppose a yer is at level 10, and it takes 1000 experience points to level up from 10 to 11. In that case, the yer could use only 1000 experience points.


    In other words, the higher the level of the user, the better items they could purchase. Interestingly, the acquired items could be sold back to the item shop, but they were converted back into experience points. Of course, the selling price was much lower.


    But heres something worth noting. If someone had a lot of money, they could buy many items and umte experience points. If there were an unimaginably wealthy individual who bought a massive amount of items and sold them back to the item shop, they could level up at an astonishing speed. However, no yer who put that into practice had emerged yet.


    Hyun-seok raised an eyebrow.


    Am I also restricted from the item shop? The notification didnt mention anything like that


    However, Hyun-seoks item shop did not activate. Even though he was forcefully converted, he was still a normal mode yer, but the item shop did not open for him. It was a bit disappointing.


    Well, I guess its something exclusive to the Normal Mode


    Ever since normal mode became nothing more than a mere faade, it was unclear when normal mode actually meant normal anymore. Nevertheless, Hyun-seok possessed stats that didnt fit within the current standards of normal mode. Every stat exceeded a staggering 200, and his ss was ridiculously named the All-Stat yer. Even his rank remained undisclosed, marked by a question mark. Hyun-seok was the embodiment of such remarkable specifications.


    Thus, he believed that items obtained in normal mode were of little use to him. Just as a person with a supeputers intelligence would find no need for a calctor.


    However, its somewhat disappointing.


    Apart from that, he felt a slight pang of regret. After all, it was better to be able to use the item shop than not being able to use it.


    It was a Saturday.


    Hyun-seoky on the sofa, leisurely passing time as if he were an unemployed vagabond. Min-seo had some work to attend to today, so she wouldnt being over. Thanks to that, Hyunseok had plenty of free time.


    I need a dungeon to appear so that I can receive the Achievement System rewards


    The Twin-headed Troll was the boss monster of Mount Bukhansan. Being the first to y the boss monster granted him an easy achievement, resulting in a +3 bonus to his stats. Of course, he only received 10,000 points due to the penalty. Judging by the overall level of yers, the Twin-headed Troll didnt seem to be a particrly strong individual


    I cant believe Im worrying about such things.


    With a stable secondary ie from his steady paycheck job, there was no pressing need for him to immerse himself in the world of yers. Yet, he found himself being drawn into it time and time again, which made Hyun-seok smirk. Perhaps he was bored and contemting going for some ying.


    Just then, he heard a notification sound.


    [The item shop has been activated.]


    [In Easy Mode, the achievement Completing 10 Impossible Achievements has been confirmed.]


    [Spot restrictions have been removed.]


    [The title of Pioneer of the Impossible  has been confirmed.]


    [A title of +1 rank beyond the regr titles has been confirmed.]


    [A title of +2 rank beyond the regr titles has been confirmed.]


    [Special-grade yer approval request in progress.]


    The sound of notifications echoed loudly. And then


    [Special Grade yer Approval Denied]


    [Rank Upgrading in Progress]


    [Top-tier yer Approval Requested]


    Time passed once again.


    [Top-tier yer Approval Complete]


    [Exclusive Item Shop for Top-tier yers Opening]


    Hyun-seoks item shop was also activated. Hyun-seok was dumbfounded.


    Theres an exclusive rank even in the item shop?


    It was called the top-tier yer. The system seemed to recognize it as such. With a trembling heart, Hyun-seok activated the item shop. However, there were restrictions.


    [To activate the item shop, you need achievement points of a difficult achievement higher than your current rank.]


    Hyun-seok frowned.


    Why do I need achievement points to open an item shop?


    In Easy Mode, he had achieved ten impossible achievements, not to mention other achievements. And when he opened the shop, those points were deducted. So, to open the shop, he had to umte many achievements, and luckily, it wasnt something very difficult or extremely challenging. It was just the difficult achievement points.


    Hmm


    He immersed himself in his thoughts.


    If opening it is this much of a challenge the items inside must be even more expensive.


    In most cases, the entrance fee is not higher than the value of the items sold. Typically, the items sold are more expensive than the entrance fee.


    Difficult achievements, huh?


    He had killed the boss monster in Bukhansan, the Twin-Headed Troll, and it was recognized as an easy achievement. Considering that the Twin-Headed Orc, which was weaker before, was recognized as a difficult achievement, it seemed that the level of the current yers had significantly increased.


    Where can I find achievement opportunities?


    First of all, achieving an achievement itself was never an easy task. Calling it an easy achievement means its rtively easier among the difficult ones. So, when ites to impossible, it goes without saying, and when ites to difficult achievements, it means its almost impossible for ordinary yers.


    Unable to resist his curiosity, Hyun-seok opened the item shop. And he almost cursed.


    Whats this?
