12. Heart Beating Random Box (2)

“Like I said, I already chose the equipment and martial arts you can use. So, please… Just think about it one more time, alright?”

Tears welled up in Titania's eyes as she grabbed Yoo-sung’s sleeve.

Yoo-sung's mind was shaken a bit from her plea, but he had already made up his mind. The Goddess of Mischief had said she would bless it, so he had to believe in her and open the random boxes.

“Don't worry too much. I'm sure it'll work out.”

“Mr. Yoo-sung…”

[I think you’re being impulsive in your decision.]

“Be quiet, Eve.”

Yoo-sung bought 50 low-class random boxes. It didn’t take long until his points were halved.

“Ah… The plan I made…..” Titania staggered with dizziness when she saw the points reduced to half in an instant.

[Goddess of Mischief: Did you purchase the random boxes?]

“Yes, so bless it…..”

[Goddess of Mischief: That was a lie. I just wanted to see you open more random boxes~ Since you already bought them, just open them. Who knows? You might get some good items.]

Beep—

There was some kind of sound made inside Yoo-sung’s head. It was the sound of his mind shattering.

[Goddess of Mischief: Human beings are so interesting after all~]

Oh my god!

[666: Why do humans risk their lives on things that are not certain? I mean, thanks to them I get to have some fun.]

[The Great Angel: How foolish.]

[Joongwon Craftsman: Yeah… The boldness…! Their ambition…! It’s good to see!!]

The Gods and the Spirits watching Yoo-sung now had something interesting to watch again. They couldn't understand Yoo-sung’s behavior of opening 20 boxes and getting nothing, then buying 50 more boxes.

‘I wonder what kind of face Yoo-sung is going to make if only trash items come out?’

‘I wonder how Yoo-sung will react if he gets a really good item?’

It will be interesting whatever the outcome may be. The God and the Spirits watched Yoo-sung’s every move with wide eyes.

‘I should've been suspicious since her nickname is the Goddess of Mischief….’

Yoo-sung, who was holding back his anger, promised to express this feeling the next time he comes across the Goddess.

‘Damn. Let's just open the boxes…’

[You acquired the .]

[You acquired the .]

[You acquired the .]

…..

Yoo-sung’s expression darkened the more he opened a box. He was already close to opening 40 boxes, however, only trash items came out.

The good news was that there were no items related to the broken sword this time, and the potions were at least drinkable.

The old cloth had no function but it could still be worn as clothing, and unlike the fragment of a broken sword, the goblin skin could still be sold for money.

[Yongsalja: Hey hunter, did you commit a sin this year? Why is your fortune so bad? Cheer up!]

[War Fanatic: I feel so bad for you.]

[Mother of Earth: Cheer up!]

[Boris: Everything in the world has its reason. Don't worry too much.]

Since Yoo-sung didn’t have a good expression on his face, a couple of Gods and Spirits started supporting him.

‘Don’t just give me verbal support. Support me with a donation!’

Yoo-sung internally thought like this but didn't say it out loud.

“It's already down to ten boxes…..”

There were only 10 random boxes left. Yoo-sung closed his eyes tightly and opened a box.

Whoosh!

What came out of the random box was a small ticket.

“A ticket? What kind of ticket is it?”

“It's an inventory expansion ticket. Let's see… Huh?”

“What's wrong? Why are you surprised?”

“Congratulations! It's an advanced expansion ticket! It's an advanced item that you have to pay hundreds of thousands of points for if you want to buy it at a Point Shop!”

“How big does it expand my inventory?”

“Inventory is connected to the subspace provided to Hunters. The more subspaces you have, the more inventories you have. If you use this advanced expansion ticket, hmm… It will get as big as some of the cities on Earth. Think of it this way. It will be hard to fill up the subspace even if you’ll spend the rest of your life putting items in your inventory.”

“Is there a better item grade other than the advanced one?”

“There is a high-advanced one. It can create a huge subspace that can fit Earth and still have some space left, but I don't think there's any particular need to do that. Even if you can only use the intermediate expansion ticket, it will create a subspace as large as a park, which is already enough.”

“That's true…”

Come to think of it, it wasn't that it was a trash item, but this advanced expansion ticket was not what Yoo-sung wanted.

He didn’t have anything, so the expanded subspace was useless. This was not a good item as well.

“This isn’t what I wanted to get.”

Yoo-sung turned his head while opening the next box. He swallowed as he opened the box.

Whoosh!

Glob!

When the light that had been shining out of the box went out, a black ball appeared. The pitch-black ball had a bright red tongue sticking out.

Slurp!

The black ball rolled its tongue as it looked for something to eat.

He thought it was a strange-shaped ball, but it seemed like a living organism. When Yoo-sung touched the ball, the ball rolled its tongue back in.

“What is this?”

Yoo-sung decided to check the item information.

Nothing much is known about this weapon. No one knows who made it, where it was made, or why it was made. The only known fact is that this weapon eats other weapons. Whether it is a Holy Sword, a Magic Sword, or even a Legendary Divine Sword, it eats them all. The more weapon it consumes, the more powerful this weapon becomes. Weapon Eaters learn the ability and appearance of weapons they have eaten. The Weapon Eater can freely transform into the weapon it has consumed.

It felt like a jackpot. Yoo-sung looked at Titania.

Titania smiled at Yoo-sung and raised her thumb.

It’s going to be a big hit.

“Yes!”

Yoo-sung raised his arms high and hurrahed.

“The Weapon Eater is the highest grade weapon. No, the concept of level might be meaningless. Weapon Eaters vary in strength depending on the weapons they consumed.”

“But, you are sure that this is a jackpot, right?”

“Yes, I'm sure of it!”

The response from the chat was also enthusiastic.

[Goddess of Mischief: Look! I told you the jackpot will come out.]

‘That bastard…’

She was a mischievous Goddess who deceived and tricked people.

‘The jackpot has been hit, but I won’t forget what you did.’

[Angel King: Congratulations!]

[Black Star: Is this for real?]

[666: You did it.]

[Yongsalja: Wow, a Predator Weapon came out of the box. What a surprise.]

[Handsome Blacksmith: It consumes weapons? I don’t think I like it.]

The speed of the chat updating was too fast to check all of the messages, but most of them who were watching Yoo-sung's Hunter Channel responded as if they’re in disbelief.

The Weapon Eater, which Yoo-sung acquired in a random box, was one of the most difficult weapons to obtain among the highest-ranked items. It’s not a weapon that could be simply purchased at the Point Shop. It was one of the items available only in random boxes.

Of course, the probability of obtaining it in a random box was close to impossible.

In the first place, the probability of getting the highest grade item even in the highest grade random box was only 5%. Even if you're lucky and belong in 5%, it's hard to get the item you want. There are hundreds and thousands of highest-ranked items.

That’s why everyone watching Yoo-sung’s Hunter Channel was shocked. Yoo-sung acquired a formidable weapon called the Weapon Eater from a low-class random box.

Not only did Yoo-sung break the 0.5 percent probability, but he once again broke through an extreme probability.

“Titania, so have I become a huge company now?”

T/N: Meaning if he is a big deal now.

“Not really?”

“I’m not?”

He thought he could walk on a good path now because he got a weapon that made the Gods and the Spirits astonished, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Yoo-sung was greatly upset by Titania's words.

“Weapon Eaters are predators. The more weapons it consumes, the stronger it becomes. But what if the Weapon Eater hasn’t consumed any weapons?”

A Weapon Eater is strong if it consumes weapons, but without any consumption, it was just a pitch-black ball with a tongue.

“Weapon-Eaters differ on how the user uses them. If you give the Weapon Eater a powerful weapon like a Holy Sword or a Magic Sword, it will be a very powerful weapon. But if you feed it only ordinary weapons, even the Weapon Eater will be just as good as a common Iron Sword.”

“I see…”

Yoo-sung’s elation died down.

“Don't be too depressed. I will do my best to support you. Let's feed the Weapon Eater by working hard in Earth’s dungeons and accumulating points! You can do it!” Titania clasped her hands tightly.

Seeing Titania's sparkling eyes and fluttering wings, Yoo-sung bursts into laughter.

“Well, let's feed this predator to the point where he can't help but burst his stomach.”

It was the moment when Titania and Yoo-sung had a common interest.

“Then, let's open the remaining boxes and go look around the shop.”

“Yes!”

Yoo-sung opened the remaining boxes without any worry in his mind. Perhaps because he had used up all his luck by acquiring a Weapon Eater, nothing good came out of the remaining boxes.

Most of the items were unusable and some were potions. The only decent item was a summon coupon.

“It's a random summoning coupon! You can use that to summon a creature. It would have been better if it had been a fixed exchange ticket.”

“Random again. Why do the people who created the system like random so much? Are they like college students?”

It wasn’t even a random drinking party game, but everything was still random.

“If there is a coupon to summon random creatures, there must be a coupon to get random weapons and armor equipment…..”

Yoo-sung felt respect for whoever created the random system. That person created a system even the Gods would copy. It was amazing.

“Do I have to tear this apart?” Yoo-sung ripped the coupon along its perforations.

Vong!

The space became distorted when he tore apart the coupon.

“I wonder what creature will be summoned?”

[I wonder what I can expect a summon creature to be like.]

Titania looked forward to it with her eyes wide open, and Eve seemed to be the same as well. Of course, Yoo-sung felt the same way.

Pak!

The warped space returned to its original state.

“What happened?” Yoo-sung was flustered.

“I thought a creature would be summoned? Nothing is happening.”

The space distorted for a moment then came back to its original state. No summoned creature came out from the distorted space.

“Titania, what is this? Why did nothing come out?”

“The… The system said that it worked properly, but…” Titania was also flustered.

Then, a message window flew to Yoo-sung with a donation.

[Goddess of Mischief donated 1,000 points.]

[Goddess of Mischief: Most of it is a bug lol!]

“A bug?”
