Chapter 30

There were various ways to restore the bow.

You could ask a skilled blacksmith to do it.

Or you could ask an alchemist with a restoration specialty to restore the bow.

That would take a lot of time and money.

'It's a Unique item. The fact that the Unique has dropped to Rare means that restoration itself is difficult.'

It has dropped by two levels.

Restore a weapon that has been damaged to the point of being downgraded?

At least a Legendary blacksmith or alchemist can do the job.

'It seems like I spent about 100 million won on restoration alone.'

Lee Hwa-Rang showed off the restored bow.

The majesty of the bow he showed at that time is still vivid in his mind.

'It's okay. I can restore it myself.'

Not only did he not have 100 million won, but he had to reach at least level 200 or higher to go to a legendary blacksmith or alchemist.

Users of that level wouldn't be playing in this low level zone.

In the case of Lee Hwa-Rang, he could go to a blacksmith or alchemist belonging to the guild, but Jeong-Hoon couldn't.

So he's going to restore it himself.

'There is one way to restore it in Idenharc.'

Jeong-Hoon opened the achievement shop.

The achievement shop has been upgraded to level 3.

[The current level of the achievement shop is '3'.]

[From level 3, the category function is added to the store.]

[Items for sale are placed in each category.]

Unlike up to level 2, where the list was listed, the category function was added.

This is a function that was created as the number of items that can be purchased has increased significantly with the increase to level 3.

Jeong-Hoon went to 'Special' among the functions.

[Achievement Shop (Special) Lv.3]

-Installation type

-Consumption type

A store that is once again categorized.

Jeong-Hoon chose consumption and dragged the bar down until the desired item came out.

'Found it.'

Jeong-Hoon stopped at one point.

-Mysterious hourglass

The first material for restoration was the mysterious hourglass.

Using the mysterious hourglass will restore 50% of the weapon's durability.

If you don't want to repair through a blacksmith, you can repair the weapon's durability with achievement points like this.

Jeong-Hoon purchased 10 mysterious hourglasses.

He consumed 5,000 points at 500 points each.

This leaves 33,000 points.

There are plenty of achievement points.

'Looking at this, I gathered energy and burst it all at once.'

It is impossible to restore the bow with just a mysterious hourglass.

Jeong-Hoon broke the glass surrounding the sand with his bare hands.

Glass shattered and sand fell into the basket.

After breaking all 10 of them, he went into the achievement shop and purchased additional items.

-Holy Lubricant

-Powder of Restoration

-Fusion Potion

Holy Lubricant is sold for 5,000 points each.

And the Powder of Restoration is 3,000 points.

Lastly, the Fusion Potion was an item that boasted a whopping 15,000 points.

After consuming an additional 23,000 points, the remaining achievement points are 10,000 points.

'Good.'

Collecting achievement points took a considerable amount of time, so it was a task that he thought would take a while. But instead of being short, there were 10,000 points left.

Jeong-Hoon mixed the lubricant and restoration powder into the sand.

In that state, he opened the lid of the glass bottle containing the fusion potion and carefully dropped it drop by drop.

'A device that can restore items below Unique grade.'

It is currently an undiscovered recipe.

It can be said that it was a recipe that users used late when the recipe was released just before New World became a reality.

It was being made in Jeong-Hoon's hands right now.

When about half of the fusion potion was consumed, light began to burst out from the contents of the basket.

'Slowly.'

It was so shiny that he couldn't open his eyes, but Jeong-Hoon dropped the fusion potion evenly.

If you put in a little too much or a little too little, the work will be ruined.

In order to mix completely, it must be dropped evenly and induced to mix.

Drop. Drop.

All the fusion potion in the glass bottle fell into the basket.

Jeong-Hoon put his hand into the basket as it was and slowly stirred it to mix well.

The work continued until the light disappeared completely.

['Unique Restoration Powder' has been created.]

[You have created 'Unique Restoration Powder' for the first time! You have been awarded 10,000 achievement points!]

[You have acquired the '[Title] Beginner Crafter'.]

"Done."

Jeong-Hoon grinned.

A powder that can restore Unique grade items.

With this, he was able to restore the bow.

* * *

Earth Korea Management Team.

"Crazy... what is that?"

"Unique Restoration Powder?"

"How did he make that?"

The employees looked at the powder the user had made with horrified eyes.

Unique Restoration Powder.

"Huh... I'm really speechless."

Team leader Oh Jin-Soo was equally astonished.

The user who won the first martial artist hidden class.

It is true that they are expecting the user's move, but how can they not be surprised to see that?

He went to the mine indicated by the map, took a broken bow nearby, and then completed the Unique Restoration Powder using a recipe that has not been revealed so far.

Now you're going to use that powder to restore the bow, right?

"Wow, then you're going to restore the bow with that powder?"

"If a completely broken item is Rare grade, when it is restored, it can go up to Epic or Unique, right?"

The staff's words are correct.

If it was damaged to that extent, it could be expected to be Unique grade if restored.

'A Unique grade bow was discovered in Idenharc... Wait a minute, then is that the bow?'

The divine archer Richard, who is said to have been active in Idenharc a long time ago.

Richard was known to have favored one bow, and it is said that the bow he used has not yet been found.

Why does the part that was overlooked because it was a simple character setting come to mind now?

'If that's the bow... it would be really amazing.'

The bow that the divine archer handled.

For some reason, Oh Jin-Soo felt that the bow was the same item as the one Richard handled.

* * *

Jeong-Hoon took out the bow and grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it lightly.

Then, a small light permeated the broken bow and it slowly began to recover.

'Good.'

He continued to sprinkle the powder on the bow.

The number of times the powder can be used is 1.

Even that one time, 100% is applied only when all the powder is used without omission.

Jeong-Hoon repeated the same process and carefully applied the powder to the bow.

Eventually, the powder piled up in the basket revealed the bottom, and the work was finished only after shaking off the powder in the basket and applying it.

'Complete.'

The bow Jeong-Hoon was holding was not a broken bow.

The old and worn-out bow was perfectly restored and had a reddish color, and the head that had been broken and fallen off was shaped like a red dragon's head.

['Broken Unknown Bow' has been restored.]

[The name will be changed to 'Red Dragon Bone Bow'.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired the Red Dragon Bone Bow (Unique). It will be announced in New World.]

[Unique grade weapon acquired! 1,000 achievement points have been awarded!]

He succeeded in obtaining the Red Dragon Bone Bow, the first weapon to be obtained in Idenharc.

'It's the bow that the divine archer Richard used.'

Jeong-Hoon opened the information on the newly acquired bow.

[Red Dragon Bone Bow]

-Type: Bow

-Grade: Unique

-Attack Power: 156

-Critical Hit Rate: 2 ~ 2.25%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): Infinite magic arrows are created.

-Special Ability (2): When an arrow hits, there is a low probability of additional flame damage.

As expected, it's crazy.

With just the Red Dragon Bone Bow, there is no need to stock up on consumable arrows.

Archers always stock up on enough arrows before going into battle.

If that happens, you have to spend money to go around dungeons that are profitable, but if you don't need to stock up on consumables with high-grade items like this, you can not only save money, but you can also just pull the bowstring without taking arrows out of the quiver every time, so the delay is shortened.

It is truly a fraudulent special ability.

Additional fire damage.

When the damage is triggered, the enemy hit by the arrow feels the pain of being burned by fire.

'This is the third favorite bow for Lee Hwa-Rang.'

At this point in time, Lee Hwa-Rang will be using two bows.

And the third favorite was to be this bow.

But since the bow came into Jeong-Hoon's hands, that future will not happen.

'I should use it as a material to raise the grade later.'

Although it is Unique grade, it is not good for now except for special abilities.

In New World, you don't need a level to wear items, but you have to strengthen your weapons yourself.

So, regardless of the grade, the options of the initial equipment are just so-so.

However, the true value of this bow lies not in strengthening, but in 'evolution'.

This bow has to go through an evolutionary process to be transformed into a fraudulent weapon.

"Hey!"

At that moment, Jorden, who had entered the mine, ran out.

And a new question mark appeared above his head.

'You found it.'

Jeong-Hoon grinned.

The time has come for the Red Dragon Bone Bow to undergo one evolution.

* * *

Recently, Lee Hwa-Rang was not in a good mood.

He was sitting in the waiting area of the Myth Guild archer training ground, arms crossed, staring at the target.

"Huh? Team leader Lee, why are you like this these days?"

"I don't know. He's been like that ever since he went to Starting Village."

Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would sit in that seat and stare at the target, but since he came back from Starting Village, it has become a daily routine to sit there and stare at the target before logging out.

The cause is a small dojo located in Starting Village.

There were traces of someone staying there, but he never thought they would have taken that opportunity.

Who the hell took it?

'The more I think about it, the stranger it is. I was the only one who found that clue, wasn't I?'

He was the only one who found the clue.

And it took more than half a year to decipher it.

Because of that, he lacked leveling and had to accept considerable losses.

But it didn't matter.

It was because he was convinced that he would be able to acquire the best skill to supplement the archer's weakness in close combat.

But it all went up in smoke.

"Hey, Lee Hwa-Rang."

While staring at the target, someone came and sat next to him.

At the familiar voice, Lee Hwa-Rang answered without even turning his head.

"Why."

Park Jin-Hyeok, a road knight who has been a friend for ten years.

It was because Park Jin-Hyeok recommended him to start New World in the first place.

He said that he chose the sword, so you should choose a bow or magic.

Anyway, it can be said that they succeeded in finding each other's talents and entering the myth where the sword king, Sajaehyeok, is the master.

"Did you miss something important?"

"...It's not like that."

"No way. It's all written on your face."

"Anyway, if it's not, you know it's not."

How can you say that you did all sorts of chores at the Starting Village dojo?

Even for the sake of his pride, he couldn't say it.

Perhaps sensing Lee Hwa-Rang's expression, Park Jin-Hyeok skillfully changed the subject.

"Have you found any clues about the Red Dragon Bone Bow?"

"No."

Lee Hwa-Rang shook his head.

Red Dragon Bone Bow.

A weapon known to have been favored by Richard, who was called the divine archer 600 years ago.

And the armor set he wore with it.

Currently, Lee Hwa-Rang has collected all the sets except for the weapon.

Helmet, top, bottom, cloak, shoes.

Now, if there was only a bow, the Red Dragon set would be complete and he could enjoy the set effect.

"Really? It's taking longer than I thought. I thought you'd find it soon."

"You're right. The most important weapon has no clues at all..."

The armor was all found in the Hamelon continent, where Richard is said to have died.

But the weapon was not.

No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find a single piece of the weapon.

"It hasn't been announced, so it means it's still buried somewhere. Just try a little harder."

"All right."

When a Unique grade or higher item is discovered, New World posts a notice on its own.

It is to celebrate and announce that the item has appeared.

Lee Hwa-Rang also received a notice in New World every time he got Red Dragon armor.

The fact that there has been no announcement about the weapon yet means that it is hidden somewhere.

So it was a problem that he didn't have to think about urgently.

[Congratulations! *User has acquired the Red Dragon Bone Bow (Unique) in Idenharc.]

A New World announcement popped up like a ghost.

Even the Red Dragon Bone Bow, which Lee Hwa-Rang had been trying so hard to find, has appeared in the world.

"Damn it!"

Lee Hwa-Rang jumped up from his seat, spitting out curses.
