Akki spent a full three days continuously hunting Wild Wolves and similar monsters along the forest edge near Marches Village. He relied mainly on the strategy built around [Thunder Armor] and [Thunder Spear – Pierce].
Compared to doing household quests, this method earned him money nearly ten times faster.
After carefully counting the coins in his inventory—true to his meticulous nature—he confirmed that his total in-game wealth had reached 45 Gold.
Akki exited the second-hand VR Capsule and immediately accessed an underground online marketplace used to exchange in-game currency for real-world money. This was a long-standing secret among high-level players.
Unofficial Exchange Rate (based on the main economic framework):
1 Gold in Tripumi = 15 USD in the real world
Akki executed the transaction quickly and with extreme caution:
45 Gold × 15 USD/Gold = 675.00 USD
The sum of $675.00 USD was successfully transferred into his bank account.
This money became a solid foundation—capital he could build upon, and more importantly, hope for creating a stable future for his younger sister.
Akki immediately set aside a portion of that money.
The first thing he did was take his sister to a pharmacy and a clothing store.
Akki: "Araya, tomorrow I'll buy you a new school uniform. Today, let's get vitamins and better food."
Araya's face filled with surprise and joy.
Akki bought essential nutritional supplements for her, along with fresh milk and high-quality meat—ensuring she would receive enough nutrients for healthy growth.
Most importantly, he bought her a new school uniform, one that no longer needed to be hand-washed with a hard bar of soap.
Araya: "Brother Akki… where did you get the money?"
Akki: "I just found a better-paying side job. We won't have to worry about food expenses anymore."
He reserved most of the remaining money for rent and daily living costs.
Through these simple actions, Akki felt that all the exhaustion he had endured in Tripumi finally had meaning.
Seeing his sister happier and healthier… that alone was the greatest reward.
It reaffirmed his resolve to continue making money through frugality and intelligence.
After settling matters in the real world, Akki returned to the VR Capsule.
He understood clearly that he needed to grow several times faster if he wanted to earn enough to truly improve his sister's living conditions.
He carefully reviewed his current proficiency framework to plan his future training:
I. Core Combat
Warrior / Unarmed Combat: Intermediate
Agility: Low
II. Lightning Element (Lightning Mastery)
Lightning Infusion: Low
Thunder Armor: Low
Thunder Spear – Pierce: Low
Thunder Step: Low
III. Life Skills
Housekeeping: High
Precision (Refinement): Intermediate
Willpower: High
Next Training Objectives:
Raise [Thunder Armor] to Intermediate to withstand damage from mid-tier monsters
Integrate [Thunder Step] directly into attacks to create fast and highly efficient combat combos
Travel to Syncope City to meet Megha and initiate non-hunting income strategies
Akki equipped the heavy cloth weights he used for resistance training in-game and set off toward Syncope City, a mid-tier city.
"The money I earned today is only enough for temporary survival. I need to earn far more for all my effort to truly be worth it… and my sister deserves a better life."
He knew this small success was only the beginning.
The road ahead would continue to challenge his resolve—but that resolve had already been ignited once more.
This time, his goal was clear:
To step into the very heart of Tripumi's economy.
