LIGHTNOVELWORLD Episode 18
-[Asset100TrillionYeoAhJang] : I want the 100 million Platinum Membership reward too! Please buy the Eyes of Heimdall for 10x the price!!!
YeoAhJang’s surprise protest
Same old nonsense
Crazy rice-eater
What, just because it’s pretty, you’re buying it for 10x the price?
I agree
Hey, let’s spend some money, hit 500 million in combat power, and then do some rice-eating. This is trending right now.
The one who doesn’t spend money is the loudest, LOL
Who knows, Heart still has the Eyes of Heimdall at +9, might try +10. The items might get swept up. Hop on the Heimdall coin.
“How did they know?”
This is why I can’t quit the Ragnarok Saga Gallery.
Every now and then, there are some sharp-eyed people who catch on quickly.
Right. Actually, I’ve been buying up spare items, including Heimdall’s, and other items that are likely to be enhanced to +10. After posting, I enjoyed the reactions and then went back to Anty’s stream.
When recovering fragments, unfortunately, the enhancement level is reset to +0. I’ll have to start again from +1.
“Ughhh!”
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[So, does this mean 20 million won just disappeared?]
Wow
Wow
No mention, please
This is insane…
This game is seriously scary, for real;
“Okay, okay! If you say that, I’ll start shaking all over…”
LOL
It’s understandable to shake
Anty, focus!
Slap slap!
She slapped her cheek and then shouted loudly.
“Done! I’ll change the stream title and continue.”
[Anty]
[Broadcast Title: Heart’s Fenrir Necklace Sleep-Deprived Enhancement (Currently 1-pung)]
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[Hey, Anty, hurry up and click for the enhancement!]
“Yep.”
Ziiing~
The annoying enhancement sound echoes.
Ziiing~
LOL
That sound is really awful, LOL
“Right? I really don’t want to hear the failure sound.”
For real, LOL
For real…
The explosion sound just feels like my heart is collapsing.
[NyamNyam donated 1,000 won!]
[Are they going to release a BM (Black Market) item later that prevents failure on enhancements, like a one-time enhancement pass? LOL]
What game would do that, LOL
No matter how much Ragnarok Saga overdoes it, they won’t go that far.
No fail pass? LOL
“Haha. That’s funny. Our NyamNyam kid has a great imagination. I’ll give you a compliment sticker.”
I’m jealous
.. Compliment sticker
I want one too!
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[How about this? A BM where the enhancement level stays and destruction is prevented?]
LOL
The game’s not going to fail, is it?
Now it’s getting out of hand
It’s going straight to disaster when released.
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[How about something like this? Suddenly, an ‘Amazing Enhancement’ comes out, LOL, better than the existing equipment enhancement, LOL. Existing enhancements would need to be redone, LOL, just imagining it sounds so fun.]
How far are we going with this, LOL
That enhancement is crazy…
Then Ragnarok Saga is done for, LOL
Just imagining it gives me chills?
“Hehe. Our ‘Eeung Eeung’ kid has such an amazingly rich imagination. But if enhancements like that suddenly came out, the item prices would plummet, and all the users would leave.”
For real, LOL
For real…
What game would even do that, LOL
You’re going to make a crazy move just to get a compliment sticker
Not fun, not fun
[Enhancing…]
[Enhancement Failed!]
Crash!
[Item destroyed.]
[You have obtained Fenrir’s Fragment.]
“Ahhh!”
LOL
Whoa, 4,000 gone
Scary Ragnarok Saga ;;;
That’s amazing
See? It exploded because of the weird talk.
*
A few hours later.
[Broadcast Title: Heart’s Fenrir Necklace Sleep-Deprived Enhancement (Currently 10-pung)]
As expected from the infamous Ragnarok Saga enhancements. Already, 10 spare items have been consumed, and with 7 billion gold spent, 7 trillion gold has been lost.
However, I don’t feel particularly moved. Anty seems to feel differently.
“Every time it fails, it feels like a bomb is going off in my house!”
LOL
Anty, ㅠㅠㅠ
I agree
Must be really nerve-wracking
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[10-pung means almost 200 million already…]
Anty quickly closed the broadcast message.
“No, no! No converting to cash!”
For real, LOL
For real, LOL
The scary part is that even after all that, 40 items are still left.
“But aren’t others enhancing as well?”
Probably not?
They’re probably trying to get the additional options first.
They’ll probably wait, LOL
“Waiting, huh? Then Heart will get the first server title!”
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[The first server Fenrir Necklace Destruction title belongs to Yeonseo-ham.]
“Oh, I don’t need that.”
For real, LOL
For real, LOL
Yeonseo-ham broke the keyboard and now broke the Fenrir Necklace too, LOL, that’s crazy
I’m jealous~ That’s so cool~
“Then, if we count Yeonseo’s, the current sacrifice stack is 11. Here we go, the time of promise.”
Sacrifice stack.
A folk belief that if something fails or gets destroyed in enhancement, the next one will succeed. Naturally, this doesn’t affect the probability, but it makes you feel more confident.
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[That’s just superstition.]
“Faith! Faith! Ragnarok Saga is faith!”
For real
You, you heretic
Are you possessed by Satan?!
Losing faith is…
A short while later, the current enhancement level of the Fenrir Necklace is (+6).
There are three more steps left until +9.
“I told you it was coming. It’s faith!”
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[Let’s goooooo!]
Click!
The sound of a bold mouse click.
Ziiing!
The unpleasant sound that accompanies it.
Will the next sound be another unpleasant one, the sound of my heart dropping, or a satisfying sound?
Bam!
[Enhancement Successful!]
[(+7) Fenrir’s Necklace]
“It’s here! Finally. After 10 tries!”
Wow
Wow
Including Yeonseo-ham’s one-pung, that’s 11 tries
Almost there, almost there
Two more steps!
[(+7) Fenrir’s Necklace]
[1st]
[(+7) -> (+8)]
[Success Rate: 30%]
[Failure Rate: 30% (If failed, enhancement level decreases.)]
[Destruction Rate: 40%]
“It’s here! First server’s +7 Fenrir Necklace.”
Wow
Wow
Two more steps
The 40% destruction rate is way too high, isn’t it?
“This is the dreaded section. From here, the destruction rate is higher than the failure rate. But that also means the goal is right in front of us.”
Wow
Wow
Dropping some wisdom!
“Guys, clap clap! Listen carefully to what the teacher says. There’s a saying that no risk is the biggest risk.”
What are you saying, LOL
Teacher, ㅠㅠㅠ you’ve lost it
Yeon-seo mode on
Please stop making inspiring speeches while enhancing, I feel like I’m going to be influenced
“Being too afraid to challenge anything because of what you might lose is itself losing everything.”
Wow
Wow
Wow
As expected, motivation comes from the teacher
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[I think Anty is just too scared to click right now, LOL]
For real, LOL
For real, LOL
“No, no, no! I’m not that kind of teacher! Let me show you. Anty, the teacher who gives dreams and hope to children…!”
[Enhancing…]
[Enhancement Failed!]
Crash!
[Item destroyed.]
[You have obtained Fenrir’s Fragment.]
“Ughhhhhhh!”
She jumps up from her chair, trembling, then seems to collapse back into the chair and closes her eyes. It’s so much fun to watch from here. I’m glad I left it to Anty.
LOL
LOL
ㅠㅠㅠ
This is despair
Not easy…
Currently 11-pung!
It feels like the amount of money needed to buy a cheap house is just flying away ㄷㄷ
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[Actually, Anty the teacher has given us hope… Watching this, not playing Ragnarok Saga already feels like half the success in life.]
For real, LOL
For real, LOL
Wow, as expected, Anty the teacher who gives dreams and hope to children.
I didn’t even know that… ㅠㅠ
I’m used to being the villain…
*
[Broadcast Title: Heart’s Fenrir Necklace Sleep-Deprived Enhancement, Currently 18-pung]
The broadcast that started early in the morning.
Before I knew it, it was already evening.
Maybe because the cost of each enhancement is so enormous, it seems like the conclusion will come sooner than expected. After several successes and failures, we finally arrived at the doorstep.
[(+8) Fenrir’s Necklace]
[1st]
[(+8) -> (+9)]
[Success Rate: 30%]
[Failure Rate: 20% (If failed, enhancement level decreases.)]
[Destruction Rate: 50%]
“It’s here… One more step. Let’s all do this together, kids. Clap! Doom ta ta doom ta ta.”
Tty ttyi
Clap emoji
Why is the destruction rate 50%, LOL
Is this really gonna work???
“Alright, the 50% destruction rate means it’s a battle between success and destruction!”
[User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!]
[You didn’t include the failure rate. The success rate is 30%.]
“Let’s go! We’re going with faith!”
LOL
Let’s go!!!
Why do you have no faith!?
Are you possessed by Satan!?
[Enhancement Failed]
[Enhancement level decreased.]
[(+7) Fenrir’s Necklace]
“It’s okay, it didn’t explode!”
LOL
Wow, you’re holding up?
Solid
[Enhancement Failed]
[Enhancement level decreased.]
[(+6) Fenrir’s Necklace]
“Ahhhh! I fell to the bottom in an instant!”
Rak
Na
Rak
LOL
It didn’t explode, the 19th try is different.
When will this get back up?
[Enhancement Successful!]
[(+7) Fenrir’s Necklace]
“Yesss! It’s okay. If I fall, I just need to get back up!”
Wow
Wow
LOL
This is insane, LOL
[Enhancement Successful!]
[(+8) Fenrir’s Necklace]
“Whoa! A dramatic comeback from the abyss!”
LOL
Wow
This is really happening?
Let’s go straight to +9 like this!
It’s the flow!
Is it really happening now?
Damn, even the Cheongryong (Blue Dragon) rollercoaster doesn’t compare to this!
After two consecutive failures, two consecutive successes. While the open API is exposed, and there’s no enhancement manipulation, it’s still surprisingly like manipulation in many situations.
“I’m going for it right away! If I delay, the straight buff will disappear!”
Ziiing~
[Enhancing…]
“Huhh! This enhancement process… Why is it taking so long? It feels like time has stopped.”
Anty closed her eyes and focused on the sound. Then the next sound was heard…
Bam!
[Enhancement Successful!]
[(+9) Fenrir’s Necklace]
[1st]
“Ahhh! First server’s first +9 Fenrir enhancement success! After breaking 18 of them!”
Wow~~~
First server, it’s so badass
Wow, LOL
Clap clap clap clap clap clap
Wow
Wow
First server, wow~~~
So, are we going for the 4-line charm now?
“Congratulations, Heart!”
I appreciate the congratulations, but it’s still not enough.
If the base price of the Fenrir Necklace is considered 0, the expected value for +9 is 1 trillion gold, which would be 30 million won based on the gold I bought. It still feels a bit disappointing.
On the other hand, the expected value for +10 is 10 trillion gold, or 300 million won. If I paid 10 times the price for the item, it makes sense to aim for +10 enhancement as well.
[Heart donated 100,000 won!]
[Let’s go for +10!]
