Return To Level Up

Chapter 9

Good profit!

It was not lubricated, so the sound of metal scraping hit my ears. According to the sound, the eyes of people in the office naturally gathered to the door.

It was literally just an office. People sitting at their desks were also very impressed.

If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t even know they were loan sharks.

“How did you get here?”

The man closest to him stood up and asked with a friendly smile. The expression is so good that anyone who sees it will relax.

Of course, Hajin Kang is not included in that “anyone.”

“Come inside and we’ll talk.”

The staff who responded to Ha-jin Kang smiled brightly as if he knew what he was talking about at once, extended his hands inward, and guided Kang Ha-jin.

“Come this way. I will take you safely.”

It was a funny choice of vocabulary, but Ha-jin Kang did not care and followed his man into the back room.

In that room, there was a device for determining magic stones. It was equipment that cost a lot of money to sell fake manastones using the skills of the awakened.

And the equipment was well worth the money. So far.

“Are you here to trade magic stones? You can put it here. If there is a large amount, pour it here.”

The man said as he opened the drawer attached to one side of the equipment. As you can see, it was a drawer large enough to contain all of the 500 magic stones that Ha-jin Kang brought.

Ha-jin Kang opened the bag he was carrying, and took out a sack with magic stones from it.

“Somehow, I thought the bag was too big, so you brought a lot of it.”

The man was half-hearted and looked excited.

Kang Ha-jin silently took the sack and poured magic stones into the open drawer.

👌👌👌👌👌

When all the magic stones were in, the man quickly closed the drawer. Such great guests are very rare.

“Come on, let’s start judging.”

The man operated the equipment. Then, mana stones came out one by one and went into the barrel placed under the equipment.

Each time, the authenticity of the magic stone was displayed on the equipment.

Even though there were over 500, it ended sooner than I thought. It seems to be a fairly expensive piece of equipment.

‘A little more anyway, but it will become useless equipment.’

Whenever the secret of the Manastone is revealed, that equipment is also continuously upgraded.

Perhaps the next version of the Manastone Reader will be much more expensive. It should have a function that displays the level of magic cohesion.

“It’s all real. You will never regret coming to our Happy Money. In fact, there are very few places that can process this amount of mana stones at once. Hahaha.”

The man trembled and checked the magic stones one by one. to see the size.

“They are all on the same level. At this size, when the nationally recognized standards are applied… If it had been taken somewhere else, I would have put it in step 1. You did a great job coming here.”

In fact, if it was this size, it was a bit over the second stage, but I did not say much because the price was decided only by the stage anyway.

“You seem to be the first person to deal with us, did you come by looking for the price?”

Hajin Kang nodded and answered.

“cloth.”

If the second stage is officially sold through the Awakening Management Office, you will receive only 3 million won. Stage 1 is more severe. Because it’s 50 million.

However, if you use a loan shark like this, you will be doubled. The first stage is purchased for 2 million won, and the third stage costs a whopping 30 million won.

“Where have you been trading? If you continue to come to us in the future, I will treat you really well.”

Saying so, the man walked to the large safe on one side of her room.

“There were 514 in total. It shouldn’t be like that in the first place, but I’ll adjust it to 5.2 billion comfortably Instead, do you have to come to us next time?”

Kang Ha-jin did not respond. She opened the safe, not caring whether the man was expecting an answer either.

“Would it be better to fill the bag with cash for now?”

Saying so, the man took out a bundle of fifty thousand won from her safe and began to stack it on the table next to her.

It was a bundle of 200 sheets, or 10 million won each.

The bag that Ha-jin Kang was carrying was quite large, so she could hold more money than she expected.

The remaining amount that was not in the bag was calculated in a check for one million won and handed over.

After her man finished her calculations, she led Kang Ha-jin out of her again. Ha-jin Kang followed her man, and then she opened the crumpled iron door and went out.

Good profit!

She made a noise she didn’t want to hear, but no one cared.

As Ha-jin Kang went outside, the man smiled slyly and took out his cell phone. She and she texted somewhere.

“The money is heavier than I thought, but I don’t know if I can carry it with me…”

The man muttered meaningfully and sat down again.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang came out of her Happy Money building with a bag full of cash.

‘This is why everyone wants to become an Awoken.’

And this is why the black market is growing.

In fact, if the manastones brought today were normally sold to the Awakening Management Office, the amount of money that Ha-jin Kang got would be less than 1 billion won.

You have to sell more than 500 level 2 manastones to get 1.5 billion won, and the tax is also huge.

Not only that, but there is also a sales commission taken from the management office, so the amount of money the Awakened actually gets is very little.

In fact, the monster mosquito dungeon was very different from the normal dungeon. Normal dungeons don’t have that many monsters, and the manastone drop rate is lower than that.

Chances of earning such a large amount of money through low-ranking dungeons are rare now.

When the Awakened level rises to a certain extent, finds the right companions and stabilizes them, they usually look for dungeons with monsters of level 3 or higher.

Level 3 Manastones cost 30 million won each. Even if it’s officially sold, it’s 10 million won.

Stage 4 is much more expensive than that. Not to mention the 5th level, from the 6th level onwards it was worth the call.

Although he had to share the profits with the party members he hunted with, the money he earned was enormous. Not only can you get magic stones from hunting, but there are also by-products of monsters.

Sometimes monster by-products are much more valuable than magic stones.

‘Anyway, now that I’ve made money, all that’s left is to blow it up.’

Kang Ha-jin actually got more information and studied a lot after becoming Awakened.

She didn’t remember all of them, but probably because of her high mental power, quite a few things remained in her mind.

Ha-jin Kang, who was walking while contemplating what to do first with this money, felt an alien presence.

‘Finally here.’

It was originally expected. No, Ha-jin Kang visited Happy Money from the beginning with two purposes.

The number of heterogeneous entities was four.

Ha-jin Kang steadily walked to the place he had seen before coming here.

Little by little, a heterogeneous sign was approaching.

Those who followed were not Awoken. However, they were not those whom he could easily deal with.

Their skills were not the problem, but the equipment they had.

Hajin Kang’s steps were getting faster and faster. Because it was so subtle, the people following it did not feel it was strange.

Even if it was a little faster here, it would have felt strange, but Ha-jin Kang maintained just the right speed from then on.

And entered the alley.

The people in pursuit were startled and hurried to run. The alley was straight, and I saw Ha-jin Kang running far away.

“Chase!”

At that moment, everyone’s minds flashed and they hurriedly followed Ha-jin Kang. As he ran with all his might, the distance gradually narrowed.

But in fact, they didn’t have to be in such a hurry. Although this place is a bit long, it was a dead end.

At the end of the alley, there was a vacant lot of a suitable size. And at the end of the vacant lot, Hajin Kang was standing with a bag.

“Wook. Whoops. Oh, you bastard is so damn fast.”

One of his men blocked the entrance to the alley. And the other three slowly approached Ha-jin Kang.

“Hey, bro. What makes you feel bad because we jumped right now? So let’s take it easy. I have to hand over that bag.”

Hajin Kang was not in the slightest agitated or anxious. I just glanced at his men once.

“The police in this town don’t seem to do their job well. or not.”

“police? Aren’t you in trouble if they open up?”

The man pointed his finger at the bag Kang Ha-jin was holding.

“It’s not legal money. right?”

The man didn’t respond to Kang Ha-jin’s words, so she continued.

“Looking at you, you are a novice Awakened… Where did you get so many magic stones? Huh?”

It seems that Ha-jin Kang decided that he stole the magic stone from somewhere. He sold over 500 manastones, all of them with the same level of manastones, so he was a natural suspect.

“There’s no way the Awakened people could have stolen it from the overflowing guild… Is it on the corporate side? If they find out about this, will they leave you alone?”

“Then do that.”

Her man grinned.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Hey, you’re awakening again, is this this? Let’s see where…”

The man looked around carefully. It was a place with no people at all. The houses nearby were also old and shabby to the extent that people did not know whether they were living or not.

“Let’s grab it and get started. It’s okay if it’s a little noisy.”

As soon as the man’s words ran out, everyone pulled out their weapons from their arms. Three of them took out their swords, and one took out a crossbow. Of course, they were all magical items.

Kang Ha-jin saw this and her eyes lit up.

“You’ve come to the right place.”

Research on dungeons, magical powers, and manastones was actively underway and the results were considerable, but that was true for a large corporation, a large guild, or a research institute or institution connected with the government.

And the equipment they make isn’t that crude. It uses a much more sophisticated design and manufacturing method.

If an individual made them by himself, that’s a really good skill.

To be honest, in Kang Ha-jin’s view, those items are a bit unsightly and crude, but there is not much difference from the level of equipment currently being produced by large corporations or large guilds.

No, actually, I knew who the person who made that equipment was. Today’s job was to earn money and find that person.

“What are you doing! Let’s finish it quickly and go eat some rice!”

A man grabbed a knife and ran towards him. The opponent was an Awakened person, so he had to be very careful, but he had no hesitation.

Shhh!

The man standing behind fired his crossbow just in time. From the looks of it, this wasn’t the first time he had done this to the Awoken.

puck!

A bolt was lodged in the wall behind Kang Ha-jin. Hajin Kang disappeared in an instant.

All four of you missed Kang Ha-jin. Everyone was confused and looked around.

wow!

The men’s eyes turned to the direction of the sound.

The man holding the crossbow was collapsing like a piece of wood. The crossbow he had in his hand was gone.

Whoa!

Another sound was heard, and a man fell. Of course, the knife he was holding was also gone.

Tension and fear were intertwined in the eyes of the remaining two.

And the two beeps sounded almost at the same time.

Whoa! Whoa!

Hajin Kang stood between the four fallen people. With bags and gear in hand.
