STGB Chapter 539

Episode 539: Fresh Green Geochang (1)

The third day after the end of the second rainy season.

Based on the entry into the labyrinth, it was the 74th day.

‘About 1 billion magic stones were swept from the island. And I’ve accumulated about 600 million stones…’

A total of 1.6 billion stones.

Of course, this money was collected by dozens of people, and if the distribution goes in here, the share that falls to me will be much smaller…

Fortunately, this issue was settled with all members.

So, there is only one thing left now.

“Everyone, rest in peace! I won’t do anything today!”

After traveling all over the island of giants digging for magic stones, I returned to the cave with my crew.

The cave, of course, meant where the shipwrecked Hetz Clan found the portal tombstone.

‘Now that I think about it, I guess I’m really lucky.’

Currently, the mapping work of Giant Island is almost finished.

It wasn’t that there weren’t things that could be called caves.

However, this cave was the only one on this island that was so deep, and it even had the feature that monsters did not approach it for some reason.

It’s actually the safest place…

To find this place right away in that urgent situation.

‘I hope that luck will come to me as well.’

As much as what I will do from now on is greatly influenced by ‘luck’, the psychological pressure is considerable.

Just looking at cancer, my luck isn’t good.

No, if you have to ask.

‘Because my luck is average.’

In fact, it’s only recently that I’ve been thinking this way.

Although I have experienced all sorts of misfortunes since I was a child, I have thought that I am a poor person since I was born.

Looking back, I wasn’t particularly lucky.

In the end, even after going through all of those things, he not only survives.

More than anything….

“Looks like you’re starting soon.”

“Bjorn! I don’t know, but do your best!”

It is unbelievable luck to have been able to meet such good people.

Erwen, whom I met as a night friend during my first exploration.

Ainar, a reliable kinsman warrior.

Raven and Hikurod became friends in the Bloody Citadel where the mutations popped out.

Team Banpunyi’s Misha, Rotmiller, and even Dwalkie.

A time when I really had nothing.

It wouldn’t be enough to say that I was able to meet them as literally magical luck.

thus….

‘Let’s not lean on it.’

Einar, Mischa, etc.

Let go of your weak will to defer responsibility to a lucky colleague.

and.

‘I am a lucky person.’

I repeat it over and over again.

What I need now is not Doubt, but only firm conviction.

‘I am.’

lucky man

It was a moment of reflection again.

“I am….”

Something flashes in my mind

The jaw muscles, which had been stiff as if they were slightly nervous, lose their strength, and the slight tremors left in their hands are erased.

It was safe to say that it was a kind of enlightenment.

A half cup of water.

It is not the viewer’s role to decide whether the water cup is happy or unhappy.

It is only you who can decide this, not others.

“You’re lucky.”

“… huh?”

“What are you talking about? I haven’t done anything yet…”

don’t do anything

Everything in the world depends on eating your mind.

It is the same principle that the future written on the record stone will surely come true.

In other words, as soon as I decided, the future was already decided.

It is the truth of the world, an unchangeable law.

“Whoops…”

However, since there was no way they would understand if I told stupid middle school students, I just laughed and saved my words.

“The wind is cool today.”

The feeling of being warmly embraced by the power of the universe beyond nature.

“The sunlight is warm.”

What dwells in my heart is confidence, and only confidence.

“What kind of wind are you talking about in the cave…”

“Isn’t that what you just wanted to say is cool?”

“That’s why the sun is warm…”

“mister… Where are you sick?”

Leaving behind the mortals’ obscure questions, I picked up a magic stone that had been scattered on the floor.

And slowly brought it to the necklace.

There was no reason to be in a hurry.

‘Water is water, and wind is wind.’

For me, it is so natural.

Shaaaaaaa-!

The future has already been decided.

“The power of the great alchemist Garphas senses the power of creation.”

「Generate stone bread.」

Let’s go.

***

No.7777 Garphas’ necklace.

The effect of this necklace is simple.

If you bring a magic stone to the necklace, the magic stone melts and disappears, randomly spitting out bread, water, metal, etc.

Just like this.

「Generate stone bread.」

Each time you insert a magic stone, the item displayed inside the necklace changes, and you can take it out if you want.

Of course, there was no reason to remove the stone bread, so I kept turning it.

However….

‘Why don’t the items keep changing?’

what else is this

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate Stone Bread…」

6 rounds in a row from the start?

It’s not a 9th grade magic stone, but only 5th grade or higher?

‘The probability of a stone bread coming out when a magic stone of 5th grade or higher is about 4%.’

And the probability of that being 6 in a row is…

“… Whoops!”

The moment I calculated the probability, the barbarian view index mode almost broke, but I overcame it with skillful mind control.

Anyway, the early gacha is for stacking.

“Bjorn! Are you okay! You’re throwing up phlegm!”

“… get out of the way Because I’m fine.”

… Doubt is poison.

A poison of very poor quality that corrodes hearts and makes life miserable.

therefore….

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate stone bread.」

I threw away my human mind and repeated mechanically screwing the magic stone into the necklace.

9 in a row beyond 6 in a row?

what does that have to do with

Anyway, the result is fixed.

「Generates a steel ingot.」

Yes, probabilities are just probabilities.

The one who will come out will come out someday.

All I need is that trust.

“oh! Bjorn’s expression changed…!”

“I have heard of it! If the baron makes an expression like that, he means he’s seriously thinking about it!”

No matter what comes out, keep your composure and continue to drive the magic stone.

how much time had passed

‘I think it’s been a while…’

By the time you start thinking about it.

「Generates an iron longsword.」

For the first time, proper equipment appeared in the necklace that was spitting out junk like bread, metal, and bricks.

It wasn’t particularly surprising.

Because Garphas’ necklace has a hidden law.

‘7,777 based on 9th grade magic stones.’

Converted to cash, about 1.55 million stone worth.

When a magic stone of that size is implanted, a certain ‘useful object’ is randomly spit out.

and….

“Generates a breastplate made of titanium.”

This is repeated every time about 1.55 million stones are driven.

Hey, so you got the titanium breastplate with 3.1 million?

‘This isn’t bad for the beginning.’

Of course, that’s just how I feel.

It was a meaningless result to me.

I have no intention of stopping here.

“uh? Bjorn! why don’t you just skip it! It’s not even stone bread, it’s a waste!”

Yes, if you stop, you have to build the stack again from the beginning.

For some reason, I thought he would keep bothering me, so I wanted to respond quickly, but fortunately, Amelia, who was next to me, took care of it in time.

“Fnellin, stay still. Don’t interrupt.”

“Oh, no… I was just curious as to why…”

“Write.”

“Ah, okay… I won’t interfere…”

So why is ordering so important?

At that time, Einar was the only one who couldn’t help Amelia after being severely beaten in the cabin.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

「Creates a Redwood Longbow.」

A longbow made of second-level material wood.

「Generates an iron shield.」

Normal shields that are far less valuable than that, and so on.

Soon after picking up such useful equipment nine times, it was time to put the tenth turn in front.

No, not exactly…

About 15.55 million stones in cash.

The moment when 777,777 of the 9th grade magic stones were put into the necklace intact.

「No.9981 Creates a Castaway’s Energy Ring.」

Numbers item appeared for the first time.

Of course, financially, it was no better than before.

Not all number items are expensive.

‘Didn’t he make about 2 million stones?’

It’s an item with less value than the titanium breastplate that came out earlier.

But this also doesn’t mean much.

「Generates cloud candy.」

「Generates a magic wand for training.」

「Generates high-density magic candle.」

「Generates Wyvern Leather Armor.」

「Generate a scroll of permanent enchantment (light sphere)…」

Elixir and equipment, reinforcement materials, etc.

It was a time when I was putting magic stones into the bottomless dock, skipping it with only my eyes.

“… huh?”

My body trembled.

It was for a very simple reason.

「Generates a Mystium Ingot.」

Crazy, Tier 6 metal floats here?

If you see the scroll popped up just now… Just looking at cancer, it must have been a normal gacha probability?

“Mi, it’s Mystium!”

“Eh, isn’t that one ingot worth billions?”

Even if you stop here halfway, you will benefit from tens of millions of stones.

but….

‘Nimiral.’

I need to build a stack of unhappiness, but why is it so good at the beginning?

I erased my doubts even as I sighed inwardly.

And continued to put magic stones.

“… ah!”

“…her!”

For some reason, lamentations were heard all around.

Oh, the person who turns the gacha is cheating.

‘How can a small man understand the heart of a giant?’

How long did he have to go forward alone like a rhinoceros horn?

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

About 155 million stones in cash.

At the time when 7,777,777 of the 9th grade magic stones were put into the necklace.

For the first time, a red light burst from the necklace.

“The power of Garphas has been severely damaged due to the excessive condensation of magical power.”

Simply put, it means that after this gacha is over, you will be in a state where you can’t run the gacha again.

“Bjorn… Are you okay? I think I also developed incontinence in my necklace…”

it won’t be okay

I didn’t even think about retreating in the first place.

And in that sense.

‘Let’s see.’

I checked the inside of the jewel where the red light had gone.

In terms of probability, it is possible to draw single number items from here. If something good came out, I would have been willing to get used to it and quit at this point.

「No.535 Creates polar shield.」

Polar regions shield.

It was named like that in the game, and if you eat it while raising Shield Baba, it’s the very thing you used to help you get the Graduation Shield.

‘Eh.’

A floating shield isn’t bad, but a triple number?

‘Put this on someone’s nose.’

Passed and passed quickly.

It’s the most valuable thing out of all the items that have come out so far, but surprisingly, there was no regret in the surroundings.

obviously didn’t know

There are only a handful of perverts who memorize all the number items.

‘next.’

insert the magic stone

And after looking at things roughly and checking them.

‘next.’

Continue to refresh items.

As the number of items increased dramatically, high-value items appeared again and again.

And to name just a few of them.

「No. Generates 2998 Guard Corps mark.」

Earrings I’m wearing.

「Generates a staff imbued with the power of the World Tree.」

A staff made of World Tree, a 6th-level material that Versil coveted with shining eyes.

「Generates 5 Arc Ingots.」

The 6th level ingot arc came out in the maximum number.

「Creates a shrine.」

An elixir can be obtained with a certain probability from the 9th floor crack.

「No.7777 Garphas necklace will be created.」

A necklace that I don’t know what to say to me.

What, like a matryoshka?

Anyway, not only this, but a lot of things appeared, and I passed them all.

And the result.

「Generate stone bread.」

Finally, we had our destination in front of us.

Knowing the exact number is impossible since so many magic stones were put into it.

The feeling just came.

‘About 10 times.’

If you put the manastone about 10 times in the future, you will reach your goal.

「Generate stone bread.」

About 1.55 billion stones in cash.

「Generate stone bread.」

A whopping 77,777,777 level 9 magic stones.

「Generate stone bread.」

Ugh…

「Generate stone bread.」

uh?

「Generate stone bread.」

wait for a sec….

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate stone bread.」

「Generate Stone Bread…」

9 consecutive stone breads at the end?

Of course, whether the stone bread or the steel ingot floats is meaningless, but…

gulp.

Unknowingly, my hand stopped.

For some reason, cold sweat broke out on my hands.

timing.

The phenomenon I was experiencing now was like a revelation.

Such a cosmic revelation of the future I will experience.

‘… is what.’

I just shook my head and kept my mentality.

A phenomenon is just a phenomenon. It is foolish to assign meaning to it.

Also, not only.

‘I’d rather go well.’

In some ways, it can be seen as a positive sign.

I don’t believe in superstitions, but there have been many times when I’ve been strengthening unnecessary equipment while playing the game, then exploded it and strengthened the real equipment.

yes, so…

Swoop.

I put the magic stone in with faith.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The magic stone shattered into small pieces, and the necklace emitted light.

Brilliant light enough to dazzle.

“The amount of magic stones absorbed has reached the maximum level.”

“Be careful. From now on, the necklace can be destroyed at any time.”

From now on, it’s a real battle of luck.

***

77,777,777 magic stones.

After absorbing it, Garphas’s necklace turns into a definitive gacha.

Does it have to have a ceiling?

From No.1 to No.35.

From now on, this necklace will confirm the top number of items between those numbers.

So, what about the long-awaited first attempt?

‘Write it.’

Yeah, it’s not going to be easy.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

Of course, the Mawrakake was also a very good item.

It is a claw-type weapon that gives one pair as a set, and has various effects. If you give it to Amelia, it will be very useful.

but….

‘I won 1.5 billion, but I got 35?’

Even thinking about cancer doesn’t make sense.

thus.

‘Once more.’

Putting the magic stone back into the necklace that has already reached its maximum value—.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

uh?

why don’t you change

Magic has definitely entered…

‘…is it true?’

While the mind questioned, the head calmly acknowledged the situation.

The Mawrakake popped up once more.

thump thump-

Suddenly, blood rushes to his head and his vision narrows.

For some reason, I feel a chill down my spine and dry lips.

Swoop.

I slowly picked up another magic stone.

“Be careful. From now on, the necklace can be destroyed at any time.”

Although there are warnings like this, I haven’t been particularly scared so far. Because I know it never explodes until the third time.

… Let’s not worry.

Are these all stacks?

Anyway, my future is a bright rainbow.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

“…Once more.”

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

“Fuck, are you kidding me?”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and curse words came out.

On the surface, he said he would keep his composure, but he couldn’t stand it any longer.

All sorts of thoughts swirled in my head.

Everything I experienced today felt significant.

Same with that continuous stone bread.

‘The necklace of Garphas.’

The same goes for the stuff that came out when I played the reroll earlier.

Maybe that wasn’t a revelation?

Today is over, so take it and go back and make an appointment for the next one.

“…Yandel, are you okay?”

“Ah… uh, it’s okay.”

“Your face is white, but…”

“…No way. I am lucky.”

Raise the mind to be frustrated again.

‘Four consecutive Hellpicks?’

Even so, this is just one gobi.

The sweet fruit is always hidden beyond trials.

‘Let’s trust me.’

Recalling the previous realization, he puts the magic stone once more with a confident gesture.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

It’s still okay.

didn’t it explode?

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

Cancer, seeing that it doesn’t explode, it’s likely that it’s just a prank from the universe to test me—.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

…is it broken?

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

…Looks dangerous now.

Throb-thump-thump-!

Heart beating like crazy.

「Generates No.35 Mawrakers.」

Eventually, I pulled out the white flag.

“…Ah, Einar?”

Einar Pnellin.

If you look closely, she is a female warrior who lives without much thought, but always gets lucky because things work out.

“huh? What’s going on?”

Nar, a child who had lost interest in this side and was eating jerky from a distance, looked at me and tilted her head.

I politely summoned Einar.

“excuse me….”

“huh?”

“Hey, come here… . Wouldn’t you like to try putting a magic stone in?”

“oh! Really! I really wanted to try it!”

Fortunately, Ainar readily came running after receiving my call.

and….

「No.3 Creates an Aegis barrier.」

That day I had a new realization.

“…oh? It’s a shield, are you okay?”

“…”

Let’s do this to him unconditionally in the future.
