34: Level 100 again

Level 100 again

At this point, I had this love-hate feeling, but I can feel it properly later.

I immediately used it after putting the 11+ Light Stick for beginners in the red quest enhancement window.

'Activate the God of Enhancement.'

[The God of Enhancement has been activated.

-100% enhancement success.

-Enhancement target: 11+ Light Stick for beginners.

-Additional requirements when attempting to enhance: 815,000 golden rings, 6.12 million EXP.

-Cooldown time generated upon successful enhancement: 271 hours]

"...."

I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, thinking I read something wrong. But it was the same number no matter how often I checked it. Going from Enhancement 10 to 11 required about 420,000 golden rings and 2.15 million EXP, and 89 hours of cooldown time. At that time I was surprised by the drastic increase compared to the previous one. But when I checked it now, those numbers weren't surprising at all because I was even more surprised this time.

"Whew!"

I sighed quietly. I can't retreat here.

'Enhance.'

Soon I saw the effect of me hitting the 11+ Light Stick for beginners with a hammer. And the colorful firecrackers were only visible to me, but I didn't care about it because of 271-hour cooldown.

[You have succeeded in enhancing the 100-Level only Enhancement Quest to 12.]

[You must complete 271 hours of cooldown time to activate the God of Enhancement trait.]

271 hours seemed unusually long. And then there was another message.

[Your level has decreased by 42 levels with 6.12 million EXP.]

I saw a drop of 42 levels which was three times the amount of EXP that far exceeded the expected 1.7 times. It was comforting to me, though, because I could get as many remaining stat points increasing from the dropped level, and double at that.

Then a message rang.

[Congratulations.

-You have achieved the maximum level of the 100 Level-only Enhancement Quest for the 5th time.

: Maximum Enhancement: 12]

"...."

I blankly looked at the message because I hadn't seen it before. The Revival Legend homepage had zero information about the end of this Enhancement Quest as well as the bonus.

In other words, this was an unfathomable situation, but I had to do it unconditionally because I had the 'God of Enhancement' trait. It would be stupid for me not to make use of it no matter how long it took.

'I wonder if it will be two weeks.'

It took me about 2 weeks for me to access and complete this quest. I felt it was pretty long.

Of course, unlike me, it would have taken less than an hour or a few minutes for those who had no choice but to do it by sheer luck.

'Good. Let me see how good a bonus I can get.'

I stared at the message intently, vowing that if the bonus was trifling, I would search the guy who made this quest and grab him by the collar.

**

[You have succeeded in enhancing to the maximum of 12 in the Level 100 only Enhancement Quest.

-You will receive 200 remaining stat points.

-Regardless of the grade, level, and current enhancement number, the user receives the one-time right to succeed 1+ with a 100% success rate. (It cannot be exchanged or sold as it will be the user's exclusive item in their inventory, but it can be deleted.)

-Title: 'Have you enhanced as much as me?' ]

200 remaining stat points and a title. Because I received so many stat points, I didn't think 200 was big enough, coupled with my deleveling these days. In fact, I had 500 stat points, not 200, thanks to the Mutual Growth trait. Besides, I was not sure of the performance of the new title because I didn't check it.

Nevertheless, I could see at a glance that what really mattered was written in the middle of the message. In other words, regardless of the grade, level, or current level of reinforcement, the chance to succeed in Enhancement 1 unconditionally was a priceless one.

The problem was that it only applied to others instead of me. So, I had no choice but to frown because I had the God of Enhancement trait.

Although I have some conditions and the problem of cooldown time, it was only limited to the Level 100-only Enhancement Quest. As it was the quest that only existed for Level 100 players, leveling up itself was impossible. On the condition of the prohibition of levelling up, I would have achieved Level 200 by now. So, I confirmed the title first.

'Check the title.'

[Name: Have you enhanced as much as me?

-This title that can be obtained only by those who have reached the maximum level of 12 in the Level 100-only Enhancement Quest.

: Health increase by 100,000.

: Mana increase by 100,000.

: All stat points increase by 100.]

It was a title worse than Scarecrow Destroyer because the 100,000 increase in Health and Mana were the same, but all the stat points increased by 200 in Scarecrow Destroyer. In other words, the primary bonus for this quest was the one-time right to enhance any item by one, aside from the 200 remaining stat points.

That's why I felt a bit sorry about it because what was valuable to others was not worth anything at all to me. Oh, of course, it was not totally worthless because there was no restriction like the 'God of Enhancement' trait.

At that moment, I had a bittersweet feeling because I really wanted this quest to end as soon as possible. At the same time, I also wished it could last longer than now because the longer it lasted with increasing difficulty, the greater the bonus would be.

So, I turned to the blacksmith first because I had as much as 271 hours of cooldown to try to strengthen the Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword to transform it into a massive weapon at Level 700. When I felt that I had finished everything, a message rang as if I was not done yet.

[You have succeeded in the Level 100-only Enhancement Quest.

-12,000 coins have been issued as an additional bonus. ]

Coins? There was none when I participated in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd closed betas. At that time there was nothing worth calling 'quest'.

At that moment, I recalled what my sister said. [Let me mention 'quest' last. When you get a quest, don't ignore it. Try to solve it. If you don't get one, you have to find it.]

Did she refer to 'coin' when she told me to even search for the quest? Of course, if I solved the quest, I would receive EXP or an item or golden rings as a bonus, but she would not have told me to take the pains to search and solve it. In other words, there must be something different.

I immediately found out that she asked me to do it because of the coin.

'Is this much enough?'

Since it was my first time gaining coins, I did not know whether 12,000 coins were big or small. But soon I ignored it because I had them anyway.

Then I left the blacksmith and entered a cafe called Lazy Afternoon in the central square at a leisurely pace. I ordered a soft drink and sat on the sofa because I felt a bit drowsy.

Of course, I was surprised by my current persona because I had vowed numerous times that I would only focus on levelling up as soon as this quest was over. But when the quest was over, my determination also disappeared.

"Here you are."1

"Thanks."

Soon I opened the status bar, drinking the beverage in drowsiness.
