Chapter 8

The same perspective.

"Is there an unusual artifact? If it's a fountain pen, it's easy to carry, and if it's a car, you can write it like a pen."

A woman's gaze was pinned to Deus Net's auction screen.

While looking around to see if there were any relics to buy, he found a decent item.

Her name is Rie.

Was the Japanese awakening.

At the same time, he was also a quite famous Gunner awakener in the Nagoya area.

Click. Click.

It was still morning, so Lie, who had her loose hair tied up with a rubber band, kept holding down the left button of the mouse.

To make a quote at an auction.

Despite being a smart seller who knows the market price well or a normal rating, the auction price has risen to 600 million won.

"At Deus Net, it's fun to buy relics that beginner awakeners often don't know the market price and raise cheaply! This seller is good at selling some artifacts?"

Meanwhile, the bid price jumped from 800 million won to 900 million won.

Someone raised 100 million at once.

However, Lie's reaction was bleak.

It was just such a look, that there was no inspiration for money of that size.

"In terms of horsepower, in fact, about 100 million to 200 million won is money to make rice cakes… … The merit of wisdom is considerable, right? How hard it is to raise your wisdom. You have to buy it unconditionally!"

Pick it up.

After she pressed the button several times.

Clicked the auction participation button.

Then, the auction price that was just 900 million won jumped to 1 billion at once.

"It's a fountain pen! I don't know how I got it, but the seller feels good. It's not common for daily goods to be relics. Ho Ho."

She put the chocolate next to her in her mouth and laughed.

chocolate.

The element that will be the best energy for her tired of last night's dungeon attack.

I had already eaten more than a box of chocolates, but it was still not enough. If I didn't continue to eat it like this, I felt like I would fall out of sugar.

"1.1 billion? They are tough guys, Hoho."

At that time, the quote jumped again.

This time, due to the participation of a number of auctioneers, the gear went up in increments of 5 million won, and the gear was recorded at 1.1 billion.

Everyone seemed to be thinking similar to Lie himself.

The wisdom stat was so precious.

Bonus stat investment efficiency also declines.

Unlike other stats that increase 1 by writing 1, physical defense, magic defense, and wisdom must be invested in 5 to increase 1.

So, I have no choice but to light my eyes and buy the relic of Wisdom 20.

"Oh, it's annoying. Anyway, I'm making it right now, right?"

Pak!

Lie spurred her seat and stood up.

And after pressing the price button, which is set to rise in almost 5 million won increments, he pressed the confirmation button coolly.

Then, his quote was stamped on the screen.

[KRW 1.200.000.000]

It was 1.2 billion won.

Just before, Dohyuk's room.

[The relic that you uploaded, "The Belt of Baekdu Trader Choi Gyu-seong" was inspected during the auction because there was no participant.

We hope to find good customers again later. Thank you.]

The message of Deus Net's reconnaissance came in as a note and came into my eyes painfully as if my bones were sore.

It is regrettable that it could not be converted into cash.

But the fountain pen was on the verge of victory.

'It has already exceeded 1 billion won. Certainly, the Awakened does not spare money. I guess so is the country. Because you can buy the most important stats.'

Items that were bought with very expensive money to raise stats in D&F.

When I recalled that memory, I fully understood.

The auction bid was being made every time it was refreshed.

Even if you don't know who it is, it seems that the big hand participated in the auction. There was no hesitation in the quotation!

In addition, unlike the belt, which had no participants at all, the current fountain pen has more than 50 pending auction participants.

Perhaps that is why it was even in the '50th in real-time auction popularity ranking' in Deus Net, where a lot of goods are traded.

How much time has passed?

When Dohyuk came to see the stool he had endured to soothe a sick stomach in the bathroom!

The fountain pen auction was over.

The final bid price is 1.2 billion won!

It was sold at a price that doubled even from 600 million won, which was thought to have added a considerable amount of money.

It was literally a drop of money.

* * *

The same perspective.

The office on the top floor of the exclusive building of the Baeknyeon Guild in front of Exit 2 of Yeoksam Station in Seoul.

It would have been a quiet office if it were normal, but today the atmosphere was messy for some reason.

The Baekryun Guild ranks first among the guilds classified as one of the top 10 guilds in Korea, and was a guild with an aggressive tendency to intervene in various interest projects.

In addition, guild master Kang In-han and vice guild master Min Sun-yul were also a couple who had quite a lot of word of mouth because of their relationship with each other.

Min Sun-yul, who was half-bathing in a whirlpool bathtub, spoke to guild master Kang In-han, who was enjoying tea time for a long time.

"Baby, isn't there something weird?"

"what?"

"I just traded two artifacts on Deus Net. You know that I take a close look at the list of recent deals? I want to know if there are any rookies who can be saved.

"know. But why?"

"One Awakener sold two artifacts. One was checked out, but I posted two anyway. One normal and one magic. Even normal-grade artifacts were sold for 1.2 billion won."

"What, are you not a business?"

"No, the ID is completely new. I don't have any recent sales information. You say you sold artifacts for the first time today, but you suddenly appear and sell two artifacts? Isn't it too weird?"

"Don't you look weird?"

"Baby! Don't play around!"

Min Seon-yul made a full-bodied expression to Kang In-han's spiteful comments.

Then Kang In-han, who was consistent with a deep expression, sat down with Min Sun-yul tightly and sat her on her lap.

And Kang In-han continued.

"Let's talk in more detail."

"Deus Four, as you know, is a place with a lot of hidden masters. It's special in itself that artifacts are traded. And there are two main reasons for trading a lot of artifacts."

"right. Either you are a professional contractor, or you are a skilled person who can get a lot of artifacts."

"Huh. However, the ID that traded the fountain pen and belt this time is not the vendor ID. And, as you know, only one ID can be made with a single awakening license. It's not even a second."

"What do you want to say?"

"It smells like something. It is a relic that it is difficult to see even if you go around thirty dungeons. Besides, I don't think this is a dungeon artifact either. Rather, it's more like a normal artifact."

Dungeon artifacts and general artifacts.

Literally, it was a term used to distinguish between artifacts dropped from dungeons and old antiques on Earth.

The general artifact Min Seon-yul spoke of was the latter.

"Are you going to be a hidden talent?"

"Huh. Super high-priced relics go to Deus Market in Gangnam, and there are usually a lot of Poor-grade and cheap relics on Deus Net. But the fact that they are selling normal and magic-grade artifacts... … ."

"Maybe it was meant to be."

"Anyway, the fact that you have artifacts must be something special in itself."

"right. Not everyone has relics."

"Dear, let's find out who this is. I'm curious. Like this, it's really like a collector who specializes in relics or a skilled person who has recently awakened. It must not be an ordinary guy!"

Min Sun-yul exclaimed with confidence.

Kang In-han also agreed and nodded.

The options were also good for uploading two artifacts to Deus Net at once.

If you are an awakener who can easily get these things, you will surely have basic skills.

In other words, if you are an awakener without a guild you belong to, you can try scouting in some cases.

"Connect to the strategic planning team and ask who that person is from now on."

"Thank you, honey!"

That way, the strategy planning team of the Baekryun Guild started busy.

However, it was not only the Baekryun Guild that detected the existence of this unknown awakening.

The same perspective.

Other guilds were also moving diligently.

It is natural for a guild that monitors Deus net all day long and seeks talent for the hidden disaster.

So, without the parties knowing.

Many people's attention was focused on the owners of the fountain pens and belts.

The total amount you will receive after the transaction is KRW 1.08 billion, excluding 5% commission and 5% tax.

Congratulations sincerely]

The moment you see the message.

Dohyuk's mouth cracked open.

The transaction is definitely complete.

And the trading place was being prepared.

When a transaction is confirmed, it is said that there is little to be done with it.

Even if it is canceled due to a simple change of mind, the buyer pays 10% of the transaction price as a penalty to the seller.

Then, you will have free money.

1.08 billion won.

It has now become a reality of the near future, not a dream.

'That 7,000 won fountain pen turned to 1.08 billion won... … It's a life battle, this one. With this money, even a house is easy right now!'

bang!

Dohyuk couldn't control the joyful feelings that came up violently and struck the wall with his fists.

-Stop hitting the wall, bachelor! Will you be responsible if the wall breaks down?

I heard the voice of an aunt, who is a fresh landlord.

The voice of an aunt who nagged me to get nails in my ears, saying that every time the monthly rent came, the rent was not pushed.

That voice is goodbye now too.

When the deal was over, I was thinking of looking for a new house with that money right away.

I wanted to get rid of the damp semi-basement studio life and escape.

'Aren't the belts this popular? Shall we lower the price and raise it? There is no reason to have two in a yard that can't be worn anyway.'

Do-hyuk looked at the four Deuss and then raised his belt again.

And the lowest price of the auction was drastically lowered from 1 billion won to 500 million won.

Even if the price he raised was lower than the list price, he thought it was not a loss.

Because the investment cost was very low in the first place.

With a relaxed mind, Dohyuk decided to raise the belt again and watch the progress.

Right then.

'Okay, just put this up too?'

The index finger where Dohyuk's gaze went.

It was Orth Ling.

It would be nice to wear a ring, but it's time to think about stats.

When you are greedy for money, the story is different.

It is said that if it is a rare-grade artifact, the minimum asking price starts at 10 billion won.

If you sell it, you are literally 10 billion rich.

But Dohyuk shook his head.

'No, let's save it for later. The money I got now is very good enough to use right away. There is no need to rush.'

I calm down the urge I've heard for a while.

Dohyuk happily looked at the Orth Ring.

Certainly, the discrimination level of rare makes me feel infinitely good.

It felt like I was carrying a cashier's check worth 10 billion won in my hand.
