Random Synthesis Blueprint Box

Runes, skill books, materials, and more.

The rewards from weekday dungeons and regular dungeons are usually nothing special. Especially when it comes to runes.

You simply focus on probability and keep grinding until good options appear. Eventually, you can obtain a masterpiece rune, and if that masterpiece rune is enhanced and its options reach their maximum values?

That becomes a graduation rune.

Although the value of top-tier graduation runes is enormous, they are ultimately items that can be obtained someday through persistent grinding and probability.

However.

The rewards from the Tower of Trials are different.

Rare! They are inherently scarce.

Unique! Some may even be one-of-a-kind.

Because of this, there is no complete record of all possible rewards, and new ones continue to appear even now.

One of them is the B-rank Rainbow Snail.

It was the gift that Yoo Jia gave to Baek Jinwoo's mother, Hwang Myeonghui.

"...What is this?"

When Yoo Jia left, Hwang Myeonghui looked curiously at the snail crawling slowly on her forearm.

Baek Jincheol chuckled.

"Try reading its skills. Open your status window."

"Status window?"

As Hwang Myeonghui muttered, information appeared in the air.

[Summon: Rainbow Snail]

[Species: Snail]

[Rank: B (Rare)]

Limited to 100 individuals worldwide.

[Level: 10]

[Stats]

Strength: 1, Intelligence: 12, Vitality: 1, Agility: 1

HP: 1,000, MP: 100

Critical Chance: 20%

Critical Damage: 20%

[Skills]

Mucus: Effective for skin whitening and wrinkle improvement.

Moisture: Keeps the skin hydrated for a full day.

Regeneration: Restores the skin.

"Oh my, what is this?"

Hwang Myeonghui's eyes widened.

She had already adapted to the changed world, so the existence of a summon wasn't surprising… but—

Skin whitening? Wrinkle improvement?

Was this really the intended use of a summon?

Squirm, squirm!

The snail crawled toward Hwang Myeonghui's hand—rough and wrinkled from years of hard work—and began spraying mucus all over it.

[All mucus has been consumed.]

[24 hours required for recharge.]

The amount of mucus was extremely small. And there was no immediate change—just a sticky, moist sensation.

"It seems like just a cosmetic product. You know, like snail cream."

"Haha, is that so? The world really has changed. Gifting a summon as a substitute for cosmetics."

"Right? Still, it's cute."

As Hwang Myeonghui stroked the snail's shell, it was recalled. Thinking little of it, she chatted warmly with Baek Jincheol before going to sleep.

The next day.

While washing her face before work—

"What—what is this?!"

Hwang Myeonghui was shocked.

"My hand…!"

Her left hand, reflected in the mirror, looked completely different from her right.

A transformation beyond imagination!

Her skin tone had brightened, wrinkles had noticeably smoothed out, and her once rough hand had become soft and delicate.

All in just one day.

'It feels like I've become 20 years younger… Is this even possible?'

Her heart began to pound as she realized the cause—the snail mucus from yesterday.

What if she applied this daily to her entire body, including her face?

Wouldn't she look significantly younger?

The desire to appear beautiful is universal among women, and Hwang Myeonghui was no exception.

'I'll start applying it carefully every day.'

Her steps felt noticeably lighter as she prepared breakfast that morning.

Yoo Jia's thoughts.

The Rainbow Snail.

A smile bloomed on Yoo Jia's face as she thought about it.

If there was one major expense in this family care effort, it was that snail.

Due to its extremely limited quantity, there was little information and it wasn't widely known, but Yoo Jia understood its effectiveness well.

'I experienced the effects myself.'

In fact, Daeseong had discovered the Rainbow Snail very early on. One of their affiliated players had obtained it as a reward from the first floor of the Tower of Trials.

"What is this? The reward is terrible."

"Sigh, it's not even a combat summon… Moisture? Regeneration?"

"What use is this?"

These were the initial reactions.

But this was Daeseong—home to the best businessmen in the country.

"Did you say it's a skin-improvement summon?"

As the reports came in, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Skin makes money."

"We can target women all over the world."

"First, let's study its effectiveness!"

Under the executives' direction, full-scale research on the snail began.

The results?

"This is insane!"

"The effects are incredibly dramatic! It could completely destroy the existing beauty market!"

"This isn't just skin improvement—it's equivalent to plastic surgery! No, even surgery can't achieve this. Simply applying it rejuvenates cells!"

Although it was still early research and the duration of the effects was unknown, the results were promising enough to justify deep investment.

"Analyze the mucus composition immediately!"

However—

"It's ordinary."

"There's no difference from regular snail mucus."

"…It seems the effect only occurs when the summon's skill is applied, similar to a healing ability."

If the special mucus couldn't be mass-produced—

"We must acquire as many of these limited-edition snails as possible!"

"Before other companies find out, we need to monopolize them!"

"Post on global markets immediately. Anyone who has a Rainbow Snail should contact us! No matter the price, persuade them to sell!"

As a result, they managed to acquire 54 snails from unsuspecting players worldwide.

They were now pushing forward with a business: A luxurious, premium facility offering high-end skin treatment services.

Several snails were distributed among Daeseong's female members, and Yoo Jia received one as a gift—making her present to Hwang Myeonghui extraordinarily valuable.

But still…

Yoo Jia didn't mind.

She had already applied it to her entire body, and since her skin was naturally good, the effects were not dramatic for her. Besides, she could receive free treatments at Daeseong anytime.

What truly mattered was the snail's future value.

Once Daeseong officially launched the business, rumors would spread, and the snail's value would skyrocket.

It could easily exceed 100 billion won.

With only 100 in existence worldwide—and Daeseong unlikely to sell theirs—the rarity would only increase.

'Still, it's fine.'

Yoo Jia smiled.

Hwang Myeonghui deserved such a gift.

Why?

Because she was the one who gave birth to God Ji-nu, the future hope of South Korea and the treasure of Yoobaek.

"Wow, seriously…"

After conquering the first floor of the Tower of Trials, Baek Jinwoo sat in an open area and let out a hollow laugh.

"This game really is all about luck."

In front of him was a single box.

['Random Synthesis Blueprint Box' (B Rank)]

It was the reward from the first floor of the Tower of Trials.

It was almost comical. The reward itself was random, yet it required opening another random item.

Opening it would yield a random Synthesis Blueprint, the same kind obtainable from Saturday dungeon rewards—blueprints used to craft various items at the synthesis lab.

—What are you waiting for, Jinwoo? Open it already!

Lamba shouted from atop his shoulder, munching on the cream bread Jinwoo had bought after clearing the first floor.

Since it's a Tower of Trials reward, maybe something special will come out?

But there were quite a few dud results—especially on the lower floors like the first. The probability of obtaining a Unique item was extremely low.

—Master, we will begin training first.

HunGyo said, raising his sword.

—Huh? Already?

Lamba tilted his head.

—What are you talking about? With our current strength, defeating the Cyclops is impossible. How can you think of resting with such pitiful skills? Prepare yourself as well.

—Hiiiing…

Though grumbling, Lamba floated into the air, unable to refuse due to HunGyo's Charisma skill.

Jinwoo smiled.

Right. What mattered wasn't the reward.

What truly mattered was relentless training and growth. No matter how good the reward, it meant nothing if the summoner himself wasn't strong.

'Let's just open it.'

Riiip!

Jinwoo tore open the box decisively.

['Random Synthesis Blueprint Box' (B Rank) has been used!]

[Player 'Baek Jinwoo' has obtained 'Guaranteed Summoning Scroll Blueprint' (B Rank)!]

A guaranteed summoning scroll?

What was that?

He immediately checked the details.

[Blueprint]

[Rank: B]

[Craftable Item: 'Guaranteed Summoning Scroll' (B Rank)]

Allows the guaranteed summoning of a desired B-rank summon.

[Required Materials]

King's Emblem (Bound) ×1

Top-Grade Summoning Scroll ×3

High-Grade Summoning Scroll ×10

World Tree Leaf ×10

This is insane.

It was a type of summoning scroll he had never seen before. It allowed him to summon any desired B-rank summon with certainty?

'Wait… then…'

Could he even summon the EX-rank summons he wanted?

This was tricky.

During the Battle of Summoners, two summons that were later patched under God Ji-nu were originally classified as B-rank: Gale Slayer and Rune Dwarf.

Both were overwhelmingly overpowered.

The problem is whether the system recognizes them as B-rank or EX-rank.

If they were judged as EX-rank, this scroll wouldn't work.

'But then again…'

Lamba, HunGyo, and Explosive Dragon were all EX-rank, yet they appeared from low-grade scrolls. That might mean the system still recognizes them as E or D rank.

'Wow…'

If he could summon Gale Slayer or Rune Dwarf, it would be unbelievable.

Gale Slayer was absurdly powerful in PvP, and Rune Dwarf could craft any rune and option given enough time and materials.

In a game where graduation runes were endgame content, having a summon that could create them was bound to receive balance patches.

But the materials are brutal.

[Required Materials: King's Emblem (Bound) ×1, Top-Grade Summoning Scroll ×3, High-Grade Summoning Scroll ×10, World Tree Leaf ×10]

World Tree Leaves occasionally appeared as Saturday dungeon materials, but—

'The King's Emblem will be tough.'

The King's Emblem was a bound item dropped by defeating the racial king that appeared every 10 floors of the Tower of Trials.

In this case, he needed to defeat the Cyclops (S Rank) to craft the scroll.

'Let's make it first.'

Only after crafting it would he know whether summoning those two was possible.

Gale Slayer or Rune Dwarf—which one to summon first could be decided later.

"Let's go."

Today, once again, it was time for steady training.

He intended to push forward at full speed until conquering the 10th floor of the Tower of Trials.
