Chapter 006 Black Market

This is the most important gateway.

The black market did not ask for identity.

However, the buyer’s property or the seller’s property was investigated.

I had to make sure that this person had the ability to buy their goods, or that they were selling something tempting.

“It’s an A-grade Awakening Stone. There’s a jewel… … . Please follow me.”

When the items to be sold were shown, L showed a wide smile and took the lead.

In front of the door that followed him, there was a sign saying VIP.

As expected, the value of A grade was very high.

“Sit down. Would you like some tea?”

“it’s okay.”

“yes. So let’s get right into the deal. Do you only sell? Do you also buy?”

“It is both. We will start with sales.”

At the same time, I took out A-grade Awakening Stones, 10 Awakening Stones that had lost their light after being used as a draw, and 5 gems prepared for sale in advance.

The disappearance of the light proves that it is an Awakening Stone that has already been used, but that does not mean that its value has declined.

This is because the Awakening Stone was melted and used as a material to make things.

In particular, items made of Awakening Stones were popular among magic-type Awakeners because the probability of magic enchantment increased.

“It’s a used Awakening Stone. I will check first.”

“Yes, you are.”

L took out a stick from a desk drawer and scanned the items.

Every time the stick passes over an object, ‘Bee-Bik!’ There was a sound.

“Yes, all of them have been confirmed to be natural.”

natural origin.

It was black market slang that had never been traded.

When an item is traded even once, a barcode is taken, and that stick was used to recognize it.

After that, L looked closely at the items while wearing white gloves, then took out a tablet and showed it to me.

There, the appraised items were lined up with photos.

It seemed to have moved when I scanned it with a stick earlier.

“It is the result of all emotions. As an auction is scheduled, A-grade Awakening Stones can be registered as an auction. Would you like to use it?”

“Is there an auction fee?”

“There is no separate registration fee, but only a 15% fee is applied.”

15%. … You’re asking for a tax deduction.

It wasn’t completely overpriced.

In addition, when sold at auction, it was rather profitable because it was sold at a price higher than the original price.

“great. Please put the A-rank Awakening Stone up for auction.”

“yes. thank you And I think the rest will go on with these amounts. Are you satisfied?”

*Used* Grade E Awakening Stone x5 – KRW 3,000,000

*Used* Class D Awakening Stone x5 – KRW 6,000,000

“Yes, I am satisfied.”

E grade Awakening Stone before use is 1.5 million won per piece.

Calculated, it seemed that the Awakening Stones used were sold at 40% of the original price.

“I think it will take some time to appraise the jewels, but before that, would you like to look at the items you plan to purchase?”

“Yes, it is.”

When L called someone through the intercom provided at the desk, a person with various equipment entered.

“hello. This is Y, who came to appraise the jewels.”

He immediately put the equipment on his desk and began examining the jewels.

While he was looking at the jewels, the tablet L showed was a list of items currently being sold on the black market, organized by category.

Among them, there was something I was looking for.

Also, I’m glad that item isn’t on sale yet.

“Can I see this and this and this?”

“Yes, I will prepare.”

I selected the necessary items from the items on the tablet.

In the next dungeon you want to attack, spiders will appear.

It would be nice if they were normal spiders, but the opponents were big and tough like monsters.

In addition, I thought that spiders do not have collective nature, but these tunnel spiders broke expectations and moved in groups.

The only good thing is that thanks to Min-young’s healing ability, there was no worry about addiction.

Their weaknesses, which I learned then, were the fire and light attributes.

smart.

“Looks like the goods have arrived. Come on in.”

It seemed that he was manipulating something with the tablet and then telling him to bring the item.

It was probably a VIP privilege.

When I came before the return, I was a general member, so I had to walk around the warehouse and look at the goods.

A cart came into the room.

On the cart were the three items I ordered.

The names and prices of each item were written on the front.

*S-grade magic necklace – KRW 50,000,000

*Unknown shoes – KRW 699,990

*10 empty flasks – KRW 50,000

The necklace was bought by Gilliant, and what I paid attention to was the shoes.

I’ll never forget that look.

From noble mtl dot com

Nickname Hermes’ shoes.

The official name is ‘Air_Float Shoes’.

From noble mtl dot com

No one will ever know the value of these shoes.

Because, you have to wear the shoes yourself to know.

Its value became known when a hunter who bought it after looking at the design of the shoe before returning came to use it.

As the name or nickname suggests, these were shoes that allowed one to step on air.

It will be very useful in this dungeon.

“I will buy them all.”

Mincheol Kim carefully knocked on the door of the president’s office.

“Come in.”

A deep voice was heard from within.

As Kim Min-cheol opened the door and entered, the president of the association was seen in his eyes.

“President. Did you call?”

The chairman, who turned his gray hair into an all-back, had muscles that seemed like his suit would burst despite being 57 years old.

Pyo Cheon-deuk, president of the Awakened Association.

He was one of the “living legends”.

A soldier to the core, he was a former army division commander and when the gate opened, he led the soldiers ahead of anyone else.

Among the first generation of Awakening, he adapted most quickly and made several achievements. As a result, the Awakened Association was established and he was seated as the first president.

Then he opened his mouth as he glared at Kim Min-cheol through the papers.

“I heard some strange noises this time.”

“…”

Even when he was not an Awakener, he was a soldier with an extraordinary force, but when the Awakener called the legend glared at him, Kim Min-cheol shrank without even realizing it and could not open his mouth.

“Was the mission I gave you difficult?”

“Oh, no.”

He barely opened his mouth to deny it, but Pyo Chun-deuk only clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, what did I say? With the first assignment?”

“He told us to sign up as many Awakeners as possible and prepare to take the lead in clearing the gate more than any other guild.”

“Who knows that! Do you publish articles like this?”

In the end, the president of the association, who exploded, threw today’s newspaper on his desk at Min-cheol Kim.

“sorry. I was foolish.”

“under. Mincheol-ah, you did well when you were in the military, right? Let’s be wise, be wise. huh? If you’re going to end up as a captain and have him retire with a glory, then you should act accordingly, right?”

“yes.”

“It is not too late. In order to restore the image again, from now on everyone will have to close the gate in the name of the association and make a contribution. Did you understand?”

“all right.”

“If you know, go out.”

Kim Min-chul was so nervous that he even saluted, which he didn’t have to do now that he had retired, and left the room.

“under… … .”

Kim Min-chul, who came out into the hallway, let out a sigh.

Pyo Cheon-deuk, president of the association, added an exaggeration and talked about it, but certainly negative words began to come out due to this incident.

▶What the Awakened Association does.

A post by a netizen with this title was the starting point.

The writer said that he was at the scene and uploaded a video of the scene as evidence, but in the video, Min-cheol Kim shouting at Seo-jun Yoo was recorded.

It looked like a threat to people who didn’t know, just because they didn’t join the association.

The author of the post wrote a critical comment below the video, saying, ‘Is this a democratic country that the Awakened Association is forcing you to join?’

In the comments below the post, ‘What time is it?’, ‘Wow, are you afraid to sign up?’, ‘Oooh. I’d rather join a guild than an association.’ Public opinion was forming.

“sh*t!”

I would rather show the association closing the gate, even by forcibly dragging the members of the association.

However, if I regret it, it is already in the past.

From noble mtl dot com

Naturally, his anger turned to Yoo Seo-jun.

‘I’ll watch. Yoo Seo-jun.’

When the Awakened Association was established, the first thing they did was to make an encyclopedia.

Monster Encyclopedia and Item Encyclopedia.

The encyclopedia has not yet been made public for the reason that it is incomplete, but the Awakened are being recruited on the condition that association members are allowed to read it.

After Kim Min-cheol left the chairman’s office, Pyo Cheon-deuk called his secretary and received a report on the case.

“So, how many times have you gathered this time?”

In front of Pyo Chun-deuk, the president of the association, his secretary handed over the documents and reported.

“A total of eight teams gathered. All guilds have expressed their refusal.”

“They will be reluctant to join the association since they are aiming to grow into a company. There are eight teams, so that should help fill the encyclopedia to some extent.”

“yes.”

“Tell the legal team to check the contract carefully.”

“all right.”

After the secretary left, Pyo Chun-deuk, who was left alone, turned his eyes back to the documents he had been looking at earlier.

<Government Support Budget Report>

‘This time, we have to somehow get results and pass the budget.’

When Pyo Cheon-deuk unconsciously exerted force, the thick paperwork in his hand crumpled.

[Have you finished shopping?]

“huh. let’s go.”

Jewels and Awakening Stones of Grade E and D were all traded on the spot.

Even with that money, I bought three things I needed this time, and I still had 1 million won left.

All that was left was the auction of A-class Awakening Stones.

When the result comes out, it will be deposited directly into the registered account, and it will be notified to my contact number registered as a relief number.

“Can I have a necklace like this?”

I chose it from among the S-class to buy it as a good thing to buy.

Originally, an S-class would normally cost over 100 million, but in this case, the price was lowered because the prefixed skill was wrongly attached to an A-class.

[This is an excellent choice. I also chose a ruby as a gem.]

“Did you just hang out with your guy?”

Gilliant’s body color was dark red.

That’s why I chose it, but seeing what I like, it seemed like a good choice.

[Then let’s start right away.]

Before heading out onto the main road, Gillian immediately cast a spell on the necklace.

Then his body glowed red, and he was sucked into the ruby at the center of the necklace.

After that, Ruby began to have a small image of Gilliant engraved in black.

[SS Grade] [Magic Necklace]

[Owner’s Imprint][Enchant +2]

A necklace created by the maker to protect himself.

It has built-in magic defense skills.

A method of using skills by charging mana to the jewel embedded in the center.

The Dragon Gillian, who signed a contract with Yoo Seo-jun, went into jewelry, and only the owner, Yoo Seo-jun, could use this necklace.

[Mana: ∞]

[Built-in Skill]

┗Class A magic defense (requires 50 mana for 1 time)

Use mana to form an invisible barrier. Can block physical and magical attacks.

The limit of defense is limited to A-grade or lower skills.

┗Summon [Active / Passive]

You can summon Dragon Gillians. It can be summoned not only by the master’s summons, but also by the will of the Dragon Gillian.

┗Communication[Passive]

You can talk to the Gillian inside the necklace just by thinking.

As the necklace itself went up one level, the original mana amount of the necklace, which was 300, increased to infinity.

It seemed to be Gillian’s influence.

The limit of skill defense was A-class or lower skills.

It was natural. It’s a scam if you block a skill attack with a higher level than magic level.

In addition to that, where there were only magic defense skills, there were new skills called summoning and communication.

“Did you include communication?”

[Yes. Rest assured that useless thoughts will not be shared.]

Oh, that’s amazing.

good. Now everything is ready.

After joining the kids at home, I thought I could head straight to the gate.
