EP.56 Return and Inspection (1)

Han Hyun-min collapsed.

Looking at the sudden cost of 7 billion won from the price they competed for in 1 billion units, it was obvious that the remaining clan’s subsidy had been used up.

It looks like I got his money out much easier than I thought, but this was actually possible because I knew his inclinations too well.

‘Sunset Flower, Han Hyun-min. It’s been covered once in the original.’

Han Hyun-min is a victor.

Although he approached the auction more calmly than anyone else, he is not afraid to spit out when he thinks it is decisive.

Also, he never looks down on his competitors.

They don’t ignore them just because they see them for the first time, and they don’t choose any means and methods to win against anyone.

Truly the winner of the auction house.

It was a holder that shined more in the auction house than the battlefield.

‘The build-up was well planned from the beginning.’

I want to stand out from him.

From the beginning of the auction, a unique auction method was presented.

He was responsible for the first bid for all items in the auction and did not participate in subsequent auctions.

Thanks to that, I brought 5 unidentified items.

Even if it’s not a jackpot-level performance, it’s definitely not an ordinary winning bid.

And this gave Han Hyun-min a special recognition.

As a novice holder, am I an experienced auctioneer?

same perception.

He must have been watching my auction for a long time.

And suddenly when I get involved in price competition.

would have been sure

Obviously, there are runes or items that allow me to check unidentified items in advance.

‘If there is such a thing, would I be doing this… .’

In fact, it was a bluff with nothing to do with it.

Han Hyun-min was so immersed in the auction that he was missing out on a lot of the basics.

Either way, I’m a fledgling holder.

The pool of funds that can be digested is not very wide.

Remote appraisal skills have never been auctioned before, etc…

If you think about it, there wasn’t one or two things that you might find strange.

Still, he’s an unknown, unidentified item.

7 billion dollars was spent.

In the auction, he was drunk with the confidence that he was superior to anyone else, and he felt that all his judgments were right.

It was like falling into a kind of self-absorption.

Thanks to this, I was able to eliminate the biggest competitor in the magic stone auction.

Han Hyun-min even participated in the Swir Leviathan Hunt.

solitary guy.

He wanted to win a special auction ticket, so he risked his life to hunt a disaster monster.

“Jaehyun-ah.”

“yes?”

Meanwhile.

Kim Chae-eun, who was sitting next to me, called me in a quiet voice.

“Why didn’t you scream more? You had more money.”

7 billion.

It’s a huge amount of money, but I can actually spend that much money.

Before participating in this auction.

Because I wrote a contract to borrow about 4 billion won from Kim Chae-eun.

I tried not to borrow Kim Chae-eun’s money as much as possible…

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought that I might not be able to buy the things I wanted with 4 billion won.

She yelled at me that she could just give it to me if I wanted to, but I wrote the contract because I was very persuasive and persuaded.

… Boy, I don’t know if I’m going to get scammed once in a while.

Anyway, thanks to you, I had 8 billion won of bullets in my hand.

This is the amount left after purchasing 5 unidentified items.

“it’s okay. I didn’t want to live anyway. you said I’m going to buy a magic stone.”

He said in a quiet voice, just in case anyone could hear it.

In any case, the probability of purchasing a magic stone has increased with the previous operation.

A-class holders who participated in the hunt were more interested in general auctions than the monster’s by-products, and B-class holders were burdened with purchasing magic stones with an amount exceeding 8 billion won.

C-class holders, well, have a higher probability of not participating in the auction.

Although there is a rarity of being an S-class magic stone…

In the first place, such high-ranking magic stones were valuable only to researchers or makers, but were of little use to direct battle holders.

– I will quote three times and finish it. 5.7 billion, 5.7 billion, 5.7 billion… Congratulations. The 34th auction item was sold for 5.7 billion won.

‘yes! Success.’

After that, the auction went smoothly.

Swir Leviathan’s magic stone.

The S-class magic stone could come into my arms for a huge sum of 5.7 billion won.

In addition, various by-products such as gills and leather of Swirl Leviathan were auctioned off, and Jeong Seon-young was able to take the gills she wanted.

I bought one more auction with the remaining money.

[Frosty Staff].

A rare staff that is very effective for ice wizard holders.

It was a gift to thank Kim Chae-eun, who willingly lent a huge amount of money.

“A total of five types of S-class magic stone, frosty staff, and unidentified items. The recipient has been confirmed.”

after the auction is over.

We went to the reception desk on the 6th floor and received all the auction items.

I stopped by the bathroom for a while to check if the magic stone I was looking for was correct.

[The Forgotten Dragon’s Magic Stone is filled. The slate is enveloped in an aura of strange power.]

‘done!’

Just like Grizzly Drake’s magic stone.

This time, an information window popped up and informed that this magic stone was the correct answer.

I’m glad that the predictions came true.

At the same time, it is also worrying.

I was on the brink of death and suffered a lot, and spent a huge sum of 5.7 billion won to fill the magic stone of only one sub-dragon…

How do I fill in the other 3?

Besides, unlike the Swir Leviathan, the rest of them don’t have any special information.

I didn’t know the monster’s grade, runes, or characteristics, so to be honest, it was a bit daunting.

‘But, whatever, it will be okay.’

I didn’t think it would be so easy to get a legendary rune.

In addition, Ji Yoon-jae, a member of <Villain>, was also successful.

I’m in better shape than that.

There was absolutely no reason not to be successful.

“Are you going home now?”

Let’s go back to the desk.

Jeong Seon-young looked at me and asked.

As she said before.

I bought and received only the gills of the swirl Leviathan.

He is a holder who has no particular greed other than his curiosity for research.

“yes. Maybe. Where are you going sir?”

“Well, I had no plans… .”

Jeong Seon-young’s eyes turn to Kim Chae-eun.

Kim Chae-eun also looked at her and smiled bashfully.

what is this.

Is there something I’m not aware of?

“I thought I would have a cute disciple.”

“uh? Do you want Chaeun to receive you as an exclusive disciple?”

I asked in amazement.

To be honest, I came here with this in mind.

Anyway, Jeong Seon-young is an A-class holder with the highest level of skill in the ice field, and Kim Chae-eun is also a holder who will not be easily defeated in talent.

The synergy between the two overflows, whether good or bad.

However, Jeong Seon-young is an independent holder who is not even a member of the clan.

The feeling of freedom was so strong that it seemed difficult to hold onto it.

‘It’s not beneficial just to know.’

So, I was just trying to be satisfied with the line I had established.

But, surprisingly, things seem to have turned out to be easy.

I don’t know the exact details, but for some reason, Kim Chae-eun’s becoming her disciple is going in a positive direction.

Jeong Seon-young answered with a light smile.

“It’s not like I’m an exclusive disciple, but for the time being, it’s only for a short while during vacation. If I’m not hunting for disaster monsters, I’m on a break right now, so I’m on the fly.”

“Then is Chae-eun going with her senior?”

“yes! I have already contacted my father.”

Kim Chae-eun added from behind.

Have you already contacted your father?

Kim Chae-eun is like Kim Chae-eun, who goes straight ahead when there is something she wants to do.

“Anyway, I think Jaehyun will have to go to the warp gate to Seoul alone. We’re going down to Busan for a while.”

“yes. That’s fine.”

There are many things to do when you return to Seoul anyway.

I had to organize the things I got from this auction, and there were quite a few things to prepare for joining <Judgment of Fire>.

‘More than anything else, we need an inspection.’

After the Swir Leviathan’s hunting and auction was over.

I felt the need to check the overall holder information.

From ‘Hobgoblin Village’ to the hunting of Swir Leviathan.

Because there were many new runes and runes that had grown repeatedly.

In particular, it was necessary to check how far the special effects were applied in [The Wave that Swallowed the Whirlpool].

“Then will we break up soon?”

“yes. You worked hard for two days, senior.”

“Suffering. You, who was in the front with the shield, suffered.”

There were many things to be thankful for for Jeong Seon-young.

The fact that he played a key role in hunting the swirl Leviathan, and that he accompanied him to Daegu at an auction…

As a senior in the holder world, she was a good person who could be a role model for anyone.

Especially temporarily, accepting Kim Chae-eun as a disciple.

The characteristic of [Freeze], a rare magic series.

It is never easy to meet a teacher like Jeong Seon-young.

For the talented Kim Chae-eun, this was a blessing.

‘But really, why did you accept it?’

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I can’t find an answer.

I think something happened last night when the two of you shared a room… .

Maybe it was just that Kim Chae-eun’s personality, which was just a bubbly and kind person, shook Jeong Seon-young’s heart.

Because Kim Chae-eun has a personality that is loved by everyone, unlike her cold impression.

‘Are you sure you haven’t forgotten anything? He also handed me the item.’

[Frosty Staff] was also given to Kim Chae-eun in advance.

Is it because it’s an expensive rare item?

After she received the item.

He was so happy with his face.

It’s like when you eat my [cooking].

… I think I might have PTSD or something.

Even so, the recipient liked it, so I was happy to give it as a gift.

“Hehe. Thank you, Jaehyun. I’ll contact you!”

“yes. You too, be careful.”

So after we left the auction house building.

They turned and decided to separate from each other.

But before we parted.

Suddenly, Jeong Seon-young approached me with slow steps.

And then he puts his hand on my ear.

whispered in a small voice.

“Mr. Jaehyun Do. If you keep her waiting too long, she gets tired.”

“… yes?”

What are you talking about out of the blue?

At her sudden words, she made an unfamiliar expression on her face, but…

Jeong Seon-young looked at me with a meaningful face and said.

“Fufu. You say it like a nephew. Think carefully.”

So the two left for Busan.

I was left alone…

Sitting quietly on the railing of the building.

I thought carefully about Jeong Seon-young’s words.

“… … .”

But nothing came to mind.

They say it like a nephew…

To be honest, it’s such a mystery.

err i don’t know

There is no answer, and I am hungry.

“… I just want to eat rice.”

Before returning to Seoul.

I filled my hungry stomach by savoring cod makchang with cold rice alone.
