After appearing in his spawn room, Junhyuk quickly looked around.
[Nice to see you again!]
Ariel greeted him, and Junhyuk turned to her. She was smiling, so he smiled back.
“Good to see you.”
Junhyuk looked at how much gold he had: 2,143,613G. It was a significant amount. He could definitely purchase his training facility now. If he got lucky, he would also be able to buy a new item.
His heart was racing as he stood by the exit. New enemies. His swordsmanship had improved, and he thought he could improve it even more by fighting new enemies.
[Hero Junhyuk Lee deployed!]
Junhyuk could see his allies through the crack of the opening door. The minions were talking among themselves, and after passing by them, he smiled.
“Everyone is here!”
Gongon smirked and said, “I’m humming from the thought of visiting Bebe. The pleasure of shopping.”
“I have to see him as well. Let’s go.”
Everyone nodded. They didn’t know anything about their enemies, but they wanted to upgrade their equipment and enjoy their shopping experience.
They all crossed through the portal and saw Bebe there, waiting for them. Junhyuk walked over to Bebe. The yeti smirked at the allies and pulled out a plate for each one. He knew he would be dealing with all six of them.
Junhyuk showed Bebe the things he had brought with him. He had killed Ronga and Yagi in the last battlefield, giving Bebe their items.
Bebe smiled and said, “You never disappoint.”
He inspected the items and said, “These three are worth 100,000G each. The other four are worth 80,000G each.” Turning to him, he said, “That’s a total of 620,000G.”
Junhyuk checked on his new total and said, “I want to buy a training facility.”
“A training facility?!”
Bebe smiled and opened the item book. The book showed a variety of training facilities, but they were all cubic structures. There were different sizes to them, and the interiors were also different.
Some looked like forests and others like mountains. Some even looked like oceans.
“Can I decorate my training facility?”
“The priority is that you must be able to train inside it, so of course!” Bebe turned the page with a smile and said, “Some people want more than just a training facility, so there are many different types.”
Junhyuk was speechless.
“This one looks like a palace!”
“A legend built that one a long time ago.”
“It must cost a fortune.”
“He spent all of his gold on it. Legends are crazy.”
Junhyuk laughed bitterly and checked out the prices. One facility had nothing but an unbreakable shell. He thought that he would be able to decorate it with things from Earth.
The facilities were priced differently according to their sizes.
“The size-five facility is 200,000G. The size-ten is 500,000G, and the size-twenty is 1,200,000G.”
“Right. The bigger it is, the more expensive. And that one is the basic model. If you want it decorated, it’ll cost more.”
“What do you have for decorations?”
“Anything you buy here that gets broken within the facility will rebuild itself.”
Junhyuk thought that was a nice ability, so he checked everything out carefully. He wanted to buy a basic model. The decorations, however, were extremely expensive.
He would buy decorations only after he upgraded his items.
Junhyuk selected the size-twenty facility.
“I’ll get this one.”
Bebe smiled and said, “You can’t really train with the smaller ones. Heroes need big spaces.” He pushed the place forward and added, “With your discount, that’s 1,020,000G.”
Junhyuk paid for it, and after the price was subtracted from his gold, Bebe smiled again.
“OK. You are my best customer, so I’ll give you a bit of a bonus. I’ll give you some stone chairs for your facility. How many do you need?”
“Twelve.”
“Sure!”
Bebe touched the picture of the facility, and stone chairs were placed inside it. Junhyuk looked at Bebe, and the yeti offered him his hand.
“I have to give you the rights to the facility. Give me your hand.”
They clasped hands, and Junhyuk felt an itch on his. He looked at his palm and saw there was a circle on it now.
Bebe explained, “When you invite others, you can do so through the communication crystal. You just have to say ‘permission granted,’ and the person you are talking to will be able to enter.
“From other dimensions as well?”
“Of course!”
“What is it like inside?”
Bebe scratched his chin and said, “There are many different types of energy within it. You won’t lack for energy while you train.”
“OK.”
Junhyuk checked out his gold again. He had 1,700,000 left and he was not worried about saving it anymore.
“I want another Vampire Lord set item.”
Bebe smiled.
“You are winning a lot of gold. Soon, you’ll complete the Vampire Lord set.”
“That’s what I want.”
“Where do you want the item?”
Junhyuk checked himself out. Where did he want the new item? Armor pieces were always a good option, but after smacking his lips, he said, “Let me see the ring.”
“Right.”
Bebe pulled out the Vampire Lord’s ring, and Junhyuk inspected it.
Bebe chuckled and said, “You can only put it on after you’ve paid for it.”
“I’ll pay for it now.”
After spending most of his gold, Junhyuk checked out the ring’s stats.
—
Vampire Lord Lujet’s Ring (set item)
Attack +30
Piercing +20
Defense +30
This ring belonged to the legend Lujet. The heart of the demon Enkia was used as the gem that sits on the ring. It increases piercing by twenty, and attack and defense by thirty. Lujet coveted this item, and it was given to him as a present.
Completing the set increases the power of the item.
Two-Item Set Effect: Critical Hit Chance + 20%
Three-Item Set Effect: Critical Hit Damage + 30%
Four-Item Set Effect: Chance to Ignore Opponent’s Defense +20%
Five-Item Set Effect: Enemies lose 3% of their healths for each of your attacks that lands.
Six-Item Set Effect: On successful regular attack, 10% chance to trigger acceleration for three seconds.
Seven-Item Set Effect: On successful regular attack, applies bleed to the enemy.
Acceleration: Attack and Movement Speeds +50%
Bleed: Deals 1% of damage per second for three seconds. Possible to stack five times.

When Junhyuk saw the seventh ability, he smiled. One percent of damage wasn’t much, but stacking it five times meant a total of 15 percent of damage.
Junhyuk had gone through that with Yagi, and he knew how annoying it could be. It completely ignored enemy defense, which could shut anybody down.
So far, no tank had been able to withstand Junhyuk’s attacks since his piercing stat was extremely high. But, in Ronga’s case, he had no items that increased his defense, focusing simply on buffing his health. Defense was important, but Ronga had focused on health instead.
For that reason, Junhyuk’s regular attacks hadn’t been able to do massive damage to the hero. He had only been able to take tiny chunks out of the hero’s health with his regular attacks, but now, with his new ring, he was feeling confident. Junhyuk pumped his fist in reaction to that.
He turned to the others and saw the allies making their own purchases and sales.
Elise had made a new item for the dragon set, but this time, she had only made the one she was wearing, so she sold Cuba’s item.
Sarang was buying a massive quantity of enhancement stones to apply to her items. They were a good option to buff both defense and attack.
The five basic enhancements cost a total of 250,000G. If the item was cheaper than that, there was no reason to upgrade it. It would be better to get a new item.
Sarang couldn’t upgrade all of her items since she had already spent most of her gold on her set, so she was done for now. The others were finishing up as well.
Everyone was stronger.
“Now, we really can’t die.”
“If we don’t die, will we advance again?”
Layla shook her head and said, “This is the Heroes’ Battlefield. Our enemies will be experienced, like us. It won’t be easy.”
Junhyuk smiled. His items were superior. The average enemy wouldn’t be as strong as him. Looking at Rodrey, he thought the hero lacked items when compared to Sarang, who had won her money from her bets on Elise.
Junhyuk and the allies left the store and divided into teams, each with two hundred minions. It was enough to push from every side.
Junhyuk looked at the allies and said, “We’ll take the middle and use the portal to hunt the new buff monsters, but a single hero won’t be able to do it.”
He had almost been killed by the new buff monster. They were that strong.
Gongon said, “I’ll take the left. They’ll send a tank there.”
Layla nodded.
“Rodrey and I will go right.”
“OK. Sarang, Elise and I will take the buff tower.”
The center was the most important path and drew the heaviest competition. Everyone nodded and moved out with their two hundred minions.
