The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 72: New Record (Part 1)

[Triumph over the High Orc!]

[Experience Points Gained: +54.79%]

[Gold Acquired: +8,000]

[Additional Gold: +4,000]

[Level Up!]

[Obtained ‘High Orc’s Gauntlets.’]

[Obtained ‘High Orc’s Fang.’]

[Secured ‘Low-grade Purple Mana Crystal.’]

[Acquired ‘Stone of Balance.’]

[Subquest Progress: Stone of Balance 4/4]

In the midst of a flurry of messages clouding his view, Ryu Mi remained unruffled. These messages were cause for celebration, not confusion.

[‘High Orc’s Gauntlets’]

– Type: Gauntlets

– Rarity: Epic

– Defense: 60

– Special Effect: Strength +10, additional Strength +5 against Orcs

– Durability: 1,000/1,000

– Usage Restriction: Requires Regular grade or higher

– Description: Gauntlets fashioned with the brutal and savage fists of the High Orcs. Orcs fear them.

Despite the considerable boost in strength stat that these gauntlets offered, Ryu Min chose not to divert his attention to it. These gauntlets were not worthy of replacing the Shadow Gauntlets he currently wore.

What truly piqued Ryu Min’s interest was the following message:

[Subquest Completed!]

[Rewarded with the ‘Rune of Balance’!]

He had acquired the Rune of Balance, a crucial item for becoming stronger, and one of the Runes in his list.

[Rune of Balance]

– Effect: When the difference between ‘pure stats’ is 10 or less, all stats are doubled.

The condition for the Rune of Balance to work was straightforward: the difference between stats had to be 10 or less, focusing solely on attribute points and excluding items or additional effects.

‘Simple, yet not easy. It means you have to evenly raise all four attributes.’

For instance, imagine if an average level 20 player were to obtain this Rune with the following attributes: Strength 30, Agility 14, Intelligence 3, Luck 3.

‘In this case, the minimum is 3, and the maximum is 30, resulting in a difference of 27. It doesn’t meet the condition of 10 or less.’

Naturally, the Rune of Balance would be ineffective.

On the other hand, if someone with a balanced distribution, like Strength 20, Agility 10, Intelligence 10, Luck 10 were to obtain it, it would work like a charm.

‘Minimum and maximum are both under 10, so he qualifies for the Rune of Balance.’

Ultimately, all attributes would double, granting benefits that surpasses his previous stats.

No matter how you achieved it, balancing your attributes was necessary to benefit from this rune’s effects.

But what if someone obtained the Rune of Balance without knowing this?

‘They’d have to struggle to balance their attributes later.’

Boosting stats with items wouldn’t work; it had to be based solely on pure attributes.

However, Ryu Min had no need for such struggles.

‘I already planned on getting this rune and have already balanced my attributes.’

Currently, Ryu Min’s pure attributes were: Strength 27, Agility 26, Intelligence 18, Luck 28.

He had deliberately kept Intelligence lower to precisely match the minimum and maximum of 10.

‘Especially since Intelligence is already high thanks to the Rune of Illumination.’

His pure attributes were high compared to his level; thanks to the nine points from the Bead of Eternity which also included to his pure attributes.

‘Let’s see how much the attributes have increased…’

Ryu Min opened his status window and was pleasantly surprised.

– Strength: 374, Intelligence: 614

– Agility: 518, Luck: 374

‘All attributes are over 300, huh?’

Buff 1.5x, Rune of Slaughter 2x, Rune of Balance 2x, Bless 1.6x.

It all added up to a 9.6x increase.

It was an unbelievable figure for someone at level 40.

His eyes widened in amazement.

‘Of course, it’s largely due to the Buff and Bless, but…’

Even so, the numbers exceeded his imagination.

‘No, I shouldn’t be surprised; I should be delighted.’

And there was more to be delighted about.

[Your grade has increased from ‘Regular’ to ‘Expert.’]

[You can now use the trading function.]

Upon reaching level 40, his grade had risen, and he now had access to the trading function, allowing him to exchange gold with other players.

‘Of course, the other party also needs to open this function to work properly.’

But Ryu Min didn’t really care about the trading function. What mattered now was that he had learned a new skill.
