Ch 95
‘Isn’t that too realistic?’
So Madame Lou was offering the lunchbox to the king or to a person with power close to the king.
Of course, the name of the intelligence guild would be covered with a sign that reads ‘Holy Grill’.
‘And what makes this situation is the ‘will of the users”
Leeha felt goosebumps all over his body.
‘It will be decided.. depending on whether I give her the lunchbox or not.’
The creation of the most covert intelligence agency in the whole continent. What would happen if I had a hand on it?.
Wouldn’t it be easy for Leeha to get any information he needs anytime? If so, was it worth it?
‘If I sold this lunchbox, I am guaranteed to have at least 100 million. Will the intelligence guild be worth more than 100 million?’
Leeha shook his head.
“What is it?”
“Ah, nothing. The tea is very delicious. Hmm〜 haha.”
“Huh.”
Madame Chu’s expression was difficult to read.
NPCs tend to give him hints on their facial expressions and actions, however, she was a woman with a stranger atmosphere than Madam Lou of Candle Castle.
“Well, then I will-”
“Didn’t you say that you came to deliver dry food?”
“Yes? Dry…… ah, right. Dry food.”
He got dizzy because of his thought, and he couldn’t even. Leeha hurriedly took out the cured meat and handed it over to Madame Chu.
“This? hmm……. Did my sister send you here to brag about her rusty skills?”
When Madame Chu had a worried look on her face, Leeha felt something prick his conscience.
“Then, I’m going.”
As Leeha got up from his seat, Madam Chu also got up.
“It was nothing. It’s nothing, if you were sent by my sister then it was only natural. Huhu, goodbye.”
Before Leeha could reply, Madame Ju closed the door.
Shudder. And it was locked.
Leeha, who stood in front of the door for a moment, was busy organizing his thoughts.
Intelligence Guild. Did he guess it right?
“Given that woman’s reaction, it was clear that she was doing something related to information…. Ah, such a headache.”
Leeha’s primary purpose was to make money.
However, in Middle Earth where nothing was certain, he had no choice but to think about it carefully every time.
Do other people play like this? Leeha headed to the auction house with his head throbbing for some reason.
‘I should go and sell the Kobold’s Eonwoldo. Now that I don’t have any spare money and my bag is getting heavy.’
Of course, he had no time to look back.
Little did he know, that the locked door had been opened secretly opened again, and Madam Ju had was looking intently at Leeha’s back through the narrow doorway.
“I’m looking forward to your decision, Ha Leeha. Huhu.”
Leeha opened his bag and checked his belongings. He had around 80 silver.
‘No money, no gunpowder, and no bullets. I am playing the game to make money, so why do I keep living like a beggar.’
At the same time he sighed, he could a hear a humming sound. Unlike NPCs, users did not differentiate between day and night.
“Selling level 50 two-handed sword! Cheaper than the store, cheaper than the auction house!”
“Selling level 130 wand〜 selling to save some money for the auction house! Please buy it!”
Leeha arrived at the Aelstock auction house without realizing it.
Since the auction information is shared within the same country, there was an advantage that items can be bought and sold in any city that has an auction house.
‘The disadvantage was that the fee could get as high as 5%.’
Even though the buyer and seller receive what they bought and sold, Middle Earth had a variety of ways for collecting users’ fees.
It was natural that low-level users had a hard time raising money.
There were many complaints from users about the auction fee, it was impossible not to use it. It was profitable to register at the auction house and start hunting or do other things while waiting for the item to be sold.
‘That is also the reason why guilds are trying to get cities and castles.’
How good would it be to sit still and earn money from the fees and taxes?
“Now, let’s see……
Leeha activated the bulletin board next to the auction house. In an instant, a system window appeared in front of him.
Although he had never used it, the auction house system was generally easy to use, so Leeha was able to use it easily.
[Kobold Chieftain’s Special Eonwoldo]
Attack power: 105 〜 120
Class: Melee, Two-handed Spear
Effect: Agility+ 6, Critical Rate +15%
Requirement: Strength150 or higher, Agility 110 or higher
Description: Used by the deputy commander of monsters during the second human-demon war It is still sharp as it contains the essence of kobold artisans. It was recorded that the blood of the humans cut by the blade could form a river.
Additional Effect:
Set effect 3: Critical Hit Rate +10%
Set effect 4: Critical Hit Rate +15%
Set effect 5: Critical Hit Rate +20%.
And he checked the prices of items with similar attack power.
The next thing he did was to set the price after sufficiently considering the difference in the abilities of items with similar requirements as the Kobold’s Eonwoldo, and then put it up for auction.
‘First of all, there are no items similar to this one……. An excellent two-handed spear with similar attack power…… there are quite a few.’
A list of items with a minimum attack power of around 100 and maximum attack power of around 120 were floating around. All of them were of excellent quality and the requirements were similar.
Of course, their prices were the same.
Even though they had the same price, it made Leeha’s mouth wide open.
‘What is this? Average 60 gold?’
6 million won?
‘Why is it so expensive? In addition, if you look at the required stats, it was almost necessary to exceed level 100 to use it. No, should it be around 110?’
Was the difference in performance between the excellent and special grade this big? Leeha’s mouth was left open.
The Kobold Chieftain’s Eonwoldo, which was dropped by Hijuit-ka, was equivalent to a 60 gold two-handed spear of around level 110.
What about the effects? It does not even need to be mentioned!
Compared to the +2, +3 agility from superior grade, it was almost doubled. Moreover, how much more will the critical hit rate increase? It’s an option that could not even be dreamed of at the top level.
For most melee dealers who didn’t turn of their Combat Assistance System, the critical hit rate was nothing short of a huge perk.
‘The level requirement to use the Kobold Eonwoldo was around 50, and most melee dealers could use it until 60.’
The required level was half, but they had similar attack power.
How much should I set it?
“Phew…… daaaamn……. Uwaahahahahaha!”
Leeha couldn’t hold back his laughter.
He had been complaining about his life being similar to a beggar, but suddenly he felt like the whole world was surrounded by flowers.
“Ugh, thank you for the food auntie.”
“Yes, thank you. Come again.
However, during lunchtime at its peak, there was no time to rest.
They brought out new food right away, and they also have to look after the counter. Besides, the place had to be cleared, so they had no time to rest.
“We’re going to order here please!”
“When are the twoorders of meat coming out?”
“I’m coming, we’re almost done!”
“ Kim! Kim! Come quickly and get some of this! Take orders over there!”
A middle-aged woman in a bombshell perm sat and grumbled.
“Yes, unni. I’ll be there soon.”
“Do it quickly. How many years have you been doing this? Oh my.”
There was not even time to make a bad tea, so Leeha’s mother worked hard.
A squeaking sound while moving without hesitation.
Even at a sad moment where she couldn’t eat her own meal in order to take care of other people’s meals, Leeha’s mother had only one thought.
‘I want to go take care of my sone……’
Worrying about her son that became disabled.
At least he improved a lot after installing some kind of machine, as Kijeong, his son’s younger cousin said.
‘It’s kimchi saury stew, so I just need to heat it up and eat it.’
Leeha’s mother stopped thinking about her son.
“Kim! What are you thinking? Why aren’t you working fast?”
“Ah, yes. I’m oming now, unni.”
“Oh yeah! There’s a dinner party at the company next door, so don’t forget to set up a table for 20 people! Here and there, the guests are leaving! You have to check their bills, what are you standing there for?”
“Yes.”
Why does she have to repeat everything? Leeha’s mother smiled
‘The harder it is, the more I have to smile. I can’t get annoyed for my son.’
And when the afternoon lunch rush, the busiest times of the restaurant, was over, her phone vibrated.
– Mom, did you eat?
– I’m eating right now, what about you?
Her eyes had started to turn a little gloomy recently.. In addition, she had a hard time replying to her son.
– I already ate. I had a quick meal. And what’s your back account number mom?
-Why is my son asking about my bank account number?. Eventually, she couldn’t stand it and call.
“Hello? Son!”
-Ah, mom. Is it okay to call right now?
“Yes. The busy time is over. Why are you asking for the account all of a sudden?”
When she heard Leeha’s bright voice on the phone, she also gained strength. It’s the effect of the mother-child relationship where one feels better just by hearing one child’s voice
-It’s nothing, what is it? I won something like a giveaway. I need an account number.
“Giveaway? What giveaway all of a sudden? What lottery ticket did you buy?”
-I don’t know either. What lottery ticket they were talking about. Just give me your account number. Oh, mom, what time will you leave work today?
“I’ll send my account number…… but it’s not something weird is it? Something like a credit card-”
-Hey, don’t be like that. Don’t worry and take a picture of your account. I have no legs, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have a brain.
“Hey! Don’t say that, even if it’s a joke. We will fix it soon.”
Even just hearing it made her heart sink. On the contrary, to Leeha’s mother who had a heavy heart, Leeha was laughing.
“After work…… we can set up a dinner party, so I should arrive before 8 o’clock.”
– Then shall we eat beef after so long, mom?
“You want to eat meat?”
– No…… that …… we’ll just eat a simple meal from the giveaway money.
Was it a giveaway worth 30,000 won? Leeha’s mother just smile and did not answer.
They were not so poor that she could not buy beef, but she always prioritize saving money to pay for her son’s treatment.
“Right, okay.”
-Yes, send me the account immediately mom. Also, check the deposit amount. Take care and take it easy.
When she saw the owner, it was very strange.
“You’re not supposed to say that! You too, eat and rest well.”
– I take a break every day, so it should be easy. All right mom. I love you!
He was definitely a bright boy.
