“Is he reading?”

No answer came from Soo Hyuk.

Yeon Jeung swallowed his saliva and checked the item information once again.

{New Grade Equipment Recipe Random Box [God]} [non-exchangeable]

A box containing a new grade equipment recipe.

New grade equipment recipe appears randomly when opening the box.

Required Contribution: 100 million

“It’s a new grade…”

There were two reasons why Yeon Jeung was flustered.

First, the grade of the box was ‘God’. Second, it was an ‘Equipment’ recipe that came out of the box.

It’s not a new grade material item, it’s not a consumable item, it’s just ‘equipment’.

“One in three is this.”

Of course, you never know what equipment recipe will come out of the box.

There may be recipes for such equipment that do not exist.

And he did not know what materials were needed to make them.

You may need items that are ridiculously hard to find.

Still, it’s ‘God’ grade. So, it is worth it.

“Contribution?”

Just then, the ‘necessary contribution’ at the bottom came into his view.

“Surely…”

At a sudden thought, Yeon Jeung frowned.

“Do I need to contribute?”

Yeon Jeung picked up the box and put it in your inventory.

*Swoosh*

However, upon entering the inventory the chest returned to its original position.

Yeon Jeung then saw the message.

[Insufficient contribution.]

[Unable to acquire.]

“I really need contribution.”

Yeon Jeung then opened his quest window and checked the quest ‘Alin Siege’

{The Fall of Alin}

The war has begun.

Defeat the demons of the Kyrad Faction and capture the castle that was announced!

[Contribution: 8,372,697 / ???]

Quest Reward: ???

“Do you mean this contribution?”

The quest condition of Alin Siege had ‘contribution’. Perhaps the contribution required to obtain the chest was obviously referring to this contribution. Yeon Jeung checked his current contribution.

“I have no chance.”

He did not even have 10 million contributions.

He then sighed and closed the quest window.

“I’m glad though.”

However, as he thought about it, he was relieved.

“Soo Hyuk has a chance.”

He will not be able to acquire the box but not Soo Hyuk.

“He had told me that his contribution was about 30 million.”

Soo Hyuk’s contribution is now slightly over 30 million. If he collects 70 million more in the future, he will be able to obtain the box. There is a war there now. There is no better chance than this to collect contribution.

-Soo Hyuk: Yea.

It was then that Soo Hyuk finally replied.

Yeon Jeung looked at Soo Hyuk’s reply, and the recipe box then smiled.

-Yeon Jeung: There is a great item in the treasury.

-Soo Hyuk: A great item?

– Yeon Jeung: Yes! You will be surprised to know it.

-Soo Hyuk: What is it?

-Yeon Jeung: God.

-Soo Hyuk: God?

-Soo Hyuk: Maybe? The new grade? Really?

Soo Hyuk replied in surprise. Yeon Jeung smiled then sent another whisper.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes, it’s a recipe, but it’s an equipment recipe.

-Soo Hyuk: Awesome!

-Yeon Jeung: But this needs a contribution.

-Soo Hyuk: Contribution? All three items?

-Yeon Jeung: No, only the grade box. Other items don’t need contribution.

-Soo Hyuk: Is it? How much contribution does it need?

-Yeon Jeung: 100 million.

*Tring*

A notification sound came from the speaker.

“Uh.”

Jang Gyeong stopped working when he heard the sound.

‘New rating already?’

He wasn’t surprised by the sound. That notification sound is made when a user discovers a new grade item.

‘Is it Soo Hyuk?’

The most probable one was Soo Hyuk.

Except for Soo hyuk, there was no user close enough to discover a new grade item.

‘Did he have time?’

But it was strange. Soo Hyuk was at war now. This was not the time to discover new grade items.

Jang Gyeong confirmed it right away. Who the hell discovered the new grade items?

“Yeon Jeung?”

Jang Gyeong thought about it after checking the user.

“If it’s Yeon Jeung he is at war with Soo-hyuk…”

He is Soo Hyuk’s friend.

“Where did he find it?”

Jang Gyeong searched again.

Where did he find a new grade item?

“Amiletta Faction Royal Palace Treasury?”

Jang Gyeong frowned upon checking the location.

“It’s in the 10th Demon World, why is it here?”

Jang Gyeong muttered, still frowning.

There was only one new grade equipment recipe that could be obtained from the 10th Demon World. It was also obtained by clearing the main quest related to the 11th Demon World.

That had to be it. However, there is a new grade equipment recipe box in the treasury. He can’t remember how that happened.

He wondered how the god tier chest was in the Amiletta Faction royal palace treasury.

“Joo Hyuk?”

After checking the information on the box, Jang Gyeong was bewildered. It was Joo Hyuk who made the new-grade chests in the Amiletta Faction Royal Palace Treasury.

Jang Gyeong immediately picked up the receiver and called Yang Joo-Hyuk.

-This is Joo Hyuk.

“It’s me.”

– Yes!

“Come up.”

-Ok!

After Yang Joo-hyuk’s answer, Jang Gyeong put down the receiver again. Then he thought while waiting for Joo Hyuk to come.

‘When was it made? No, how was it made?’

Only Jang Gyeong could create a new grade item. To be precise, it must be approved by him.

But how did Yang Joo-Hyuk create a new grade item?

*Knock*

Jang Gyeong finished thinking when he heard the door knock. Then shouted.

“Come in.”

*Swoosh*

The door opened and Joo Hyuk entered.

“Did you make a new grade box in the 10th Demon World?”

As soon as Joo Hyuk sat down, Jang Gyeong asked.

“Yes? A new tier box?”

Joo Hyuk asked with a surprised expression.

“Yes, A New Grade Equipment Random Recipe Box.”

“That.”

Joo Hyuk thought about Jang Gyeong words for a while then exclaimed as if he had remembered.

“Isn’t it a job that you sir entrusted to me?”

Joo Hyuk said with a puzzled expression.

“I did?”

“Yes, the day before your vacation, you asked us to think about how to release information about new grade equipment.”

“Ah.”

Jang Gyeong exclaimed.

And Yang Joo-Hyuk continued.

“So, when I said how about putting it on display in a warehouse or something on impossible conditions, you approved it.”

“Yeah, I remember now.”

Jang Gyeong remembered everything now.

“It wasn’t made to be acquired.”

Jang Gyeong blurred the end of his words.

‘Amiletta palace treasury was not the only place that had the new grade recipe box, it was also in the Kyrad palace treasury.’

‘Can they get a maximum of 3?’

Jang Gyeong sighed.

“?”

Joo Hyuk was puzzled at Jang Gyeong’s behaviour.

– So, shall we connect now?

“Yeah, see you at Ilom Warp Gate.”

Soo Hyuk ended the phone conversation with Yeon Jeung. Then went straight into the Capsule and accessed Pangea.

As soon as he logged in, he smiled at the numerous books that came into his sight. It always felt good.

“See you later.”

Soo Hyuk came out of the library after greeting the books. Then warped to Ilom through the warp gate.

“Soo Hyuk!”

Yeon Jeung welcomed Soo Hyuk when he arrived. Then they both headed straight to Emming’s mansion while talking.

“What did you get?”

“Wait a moment.”

Yeon Jeung opened his inventory with a smile. Then shared the information of the three items he acquired at the royal palace treasury.

Soo Hyuk sighed after he checked the three items.

“Are they all defensive items?”

All three items selected were for defense.

“Yeah, I thought first about buying accessories, but it would be better to match the armor first.”

In their chatter they managed to arrive at the mansion. After entering the mansion, they headed straight to Cranosson’s room.

“You arrived!”

As usual when they arrived at the front of the room, Cranosson opened the door to greet them.

“We came today as promised.”

As soon as Soo Hyuk entered the room, he went straight to the point.

“I want you to break the remaining wings.”

{Remaining Wings}

You once broke the wings of the Kyrad Faction.

Cranosson wants you to break the remaining wings of the Kyrad Faction as well.

Drive out the demons of the Kyrad Faction at the G and H areas!

[G Area: X]

[H area: X]

Quest Reward: Contribution 700,000

A quest appeared following Cranosson’s words. It changed from A and B areas to G and H areas, but this quest was also ‘Break the Wings’.

“Yes, we understand.”

[You have accepted the quest ‘Remaining Wings’]

Soo Hyuk accepted the quest.

“Here is a map and a letter.”

And just like in areas A and B, Cranosson pulled out three scrolls.

One map for the geography of area G and H. And two letters to each outpost commander.

“Then we will be going.”

Soo Hyuk took the map and the letters, put them in his inventory, and got up with Yeon Jeung.

Eshtar didn’t say anything. He just stared blankly at the report.

“This…”

Eshtar asked Fidor, a high-ranking demon who brought the report, as soon as he came to his senses.

“Is it true?”

“Yes”

Since he knew the content of the report, Fidor carefully answered Eshtar’s question.

“Sigh.”

Eshtar sighed at Fidor’s answer and then murmured.

“Area B was recaptured by two humans, and within a few hours, area A was taken as well? Is this true?”

Fidor couldn’t reply to Eshtar’s words. It was unbelievable but true. There were words from many demons who survived and returned.

It was then that the door opened with a knock.

Eshtar looked up from the report to check who came in.

“Akushurma?”

The person who opened the door was the commander of Area G, Akushurma. Why is Akushurma here when he should be in area G?

“Why are you here?”

Estar asked.

Akushurma did not say anything. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be contemplating on how to respond.

‘Surely…”

Eshtar had an ominous feeling when he saw Akushurma’s expression. And that feeling reminded him of the contents of the report.
