Chapter 58
“Shall we take a look?”
“50 billion won.”
The price had jumped five times.
This should be enough.
Of course, the price could be raised further.
However, considering the short duration of the enhancement potion at 30 minutes, I saw this as the maximum.
In my previous life, his highest price was around 450 million won.
First, I’ll sell 100 packs, and if the reaction is good, the next negotiator will naturally raise the price.
Anyway, from my perspective, the production cost is almost nothing, so the more expensive I sell, the better.
Just play my cards right a bit.
I made 50 billion won!
Who knew making money could be this easy in the world! Of course, it’s a one-time thing, but it still felt good.
“How is it? I guess when I go back, they’ll immediately ask me to write an incident report… But anyway, the negotiation rights were delegated to me! Don’t you think this is enough to open the wallet?”
“Haha. Okay, let’s do it that way.”
I readily accepted her second proposal.
Anyway, once WSA uses all 100 packs of the enhancement potion, negotiations will happen again.
Even now, and then, I’m holding the knife handle. The fact that I’m the one in charge remains unchanged.
“How will the handover be done? We can move by car right now. Shall we go to Kang Shin-hwa’s residence?”
“There’s nothing there.”
“Then?”
“It’s here.”
Tap!
I snapped my fingers.
Then, the 100 packs of enhancement potion packages from the space artifact were gently placed at the entrance.
Marina was startled and asked,
“Was that just now the space artifact? Is this an activated system?”
“Shall I show you once more?”
I snapped my fingers again, showing and then putting back a skeleton archer’s femur from the alternate space.
“Until now, I thought the space artifact existed, but I didn’t know where I could obtain it…”
“That’s right. It’s existing quite well like this.”
“The talents and artifacts Kang Shin-hwa has are not just one or two.”
“One or two would be far too few. Now, let’s change the subject. Could you make the deposit first?”
I skillfully changed the topic and continued the conversation.
The most vulnerable time in a transaction is right before receiving the payment.
Though Marina wouldn’t do such a thing, many illicit and black market incidents occur when money and goods are exchanged.
“Just a moment.”
“The account is here.”
I showed her the bank name and account number, enlarged on my smartphone.
“Money is quite easy to spend, isn’t it?”
Eventually, Marina was seen using a separate security computer to transfer the amount.
Perhaps she’s trying to use a security account used by WSA.
In any case, the fact that she was given the authority to easily spend such a large amount.
I could guess Marina’s status. She was highly trusted in WSA.
Ding.
Immediately, a deposit notification came through the smartphone app.
[Daehan Bank: Account Holder Kang Shin-hwa]
[Balance: 56,000,899,200 won]
‘Krr, this is it. Very good.’
Exactly 50 billion won had been deposited.
Considering tax calculations later, about 10% would disappear, but even then, I’d gain 45 billion won.
Since the deposit was confirmed, it was now time to hand over the goods.
I pushed the enhancement potion package in front of her towards her side.
“Here, use it well.”
“Thank you for the transaction. Kang Shin-hwa, would you be able to give priority to our WSA in future transactions?”
“I’ll think about it. I’ll have to start production from scratch again.”
“I see. Then it seems the official business is over…”
Marina stored the 100 packs of enhancement potions she had just collected in a separate safe inside the house. Based on the slight chill emanating from it, it seemed to be a safe capable of refrigeration and freezing.
I decided to end today’s meeting.
All business was done.
“Then I’ll contact you again.”
“Kang Shin-hwa, wait a moment!”
Marina suddenly ran and grabbed me as I was about to leave. She caught my hand and sent me a rather seductive gaze.
“Yes?”
“How about a private drink now? It’s 3 AM. There’s still a long way until dawn.”
A flirtatious glance.
Unlike in my previous life, she keeps sending me green lights.
However, right now, I just wanted to go home and rest rather than do anything with her.
Today’s presentation and everything else had been exhausting. I’d definitely been drained.
“Let’s do it next time, next time.”
“I have just the right vodka for the two of us.”
“Let’s have soju later. At a street pub.”
“Is this a date invitation?”
“No, just drinks. I don’t like vodka. I’ll consider soju.”
“Ugh…”
“Contact me when the guest participation is ready. Think about the preliminary conditions too.”
“Sheesh, you’re more of a fortress than I expected.”
“It’ll be hard to break through with such an old seduction technique. Hehe.”
I playfully pointed out her somewhat unconvincing but brazen seduction.
And before she could say another word, I calmly left the house.
I really needed rest.
I wanted to sleep deeply.
* * *
As soon as I returned home, the K-1004 dungeon schedule at Guro Station Exit 3, abbreviated as the Madillo dungeon, was set.
The time was 3 AM the next day.
The Yanghwa Guild’s dungeon management team had calculated that internal initialization would occur around that time.
For this reason, Kang Shin-hwa slept quietly all day without a care.
He woke up just before midnight to produce top-grade magic potions.
After parting with Marina, he had spent the entire February 4th sleeping.
As Kang Shin-hwa rose from bed with drowsy eyes and began making top-grade magic potions in a water bottle, a call came from Jeong-hoon.
“Yes, Jeong-hoon.”
-You’ll know about the dungeon attack schedule, and I’ve also obtained the flight tickets to Jeju.
“When?”
-7 AM. Four hours after dungeon entry. Is that okay?
“Plenty. If we match up like last time, we’ll clear it in two hours.”
Kang Shin-hwa answered casually to Jeong-hoon’s worried tone.
-I’ll deliver the tickets when we meet. First class. It’s not expensive for a domestic flight…
“Oh, is that so?”
The Jeju flight would be an hour at most, but he appreciated the Yanghwa Guild’s small consideration.
Money could sometimes feel meaningless, and sometimes feel significant, depending on how it was spent.
In this case, he felt good that they had thought of him.
‘This small happiness in daily life is a kind of wellness lifestyle.’
Kang Shin-hwa made a satisfied expression.
-The chairman instructed to prepare everything top-notch to ensure no inconvenience for Kang Shin-hwa.
“Thank you.”
-Once you see the prepared villa, you’ll understand. The facilities and surrounding scenery are flawless.
“Where is it?”
-It’s a villa the chairman often uses. In fact, it’s a place only the chairman and his children could use.
“Ah!”
Kang Shin-hwa finally remembered and exclaimed.
The villa could only be reached after driving for a while from the main gate, surrounded by well-landscaped forests and gentle wild herbivores.
Moreover, the villa had dedicated attendants to handle everything and an exclusive chef.
It was a place that had transferred all the luxuries of a top-tier hotel into a single-person service format, precisely Jin Seong-tae’s villa.
-The chairman repeatedly emphasized to ensure Kang Shin-hwa’s Jeju trip would lack absolutely nothing.
“Please convey my gratitude.”
It was truly a Jin Seong-tae-like gesture of consideration.
-Then I’ll see you later.
He immediately hung up.
“Wow… Around this time in my previous life, I was busy cleaning up monster droppings at the dungeon entrance…”
Kang Shin-hwa held his smartphone tightly with a complex expression for a while.
He felt a deep sense of difference.
His previous life’s 2020 was a dirt spoon’s life where no one paid him any attention.
But his current life’s 2020 was moving towards a golden spoon’s life where a major company’s chairman was directly trying to accommodate his feelings.
“I must work hard. This time, I’ll collect plenty of baby Madillo corpses and immediately start producing enhancement potions.”
Kang Shin-hwa’s eyes sparkled with determination. Another day was beginning.
* * *
The Madillo dungeon attack ended exactly as I expected, in a 2-hour clear.
Entered at 3 AM.
Exited at 5 AM.
As before, I distributed the loot equally and collected only the baby Madillo corpses.
Bazart, now cleared once, didn’t drop flowers.
Instead, it generously dropped dimensional stones, allowing me to receive three top-grade dimensional stones.
I easily earned 2.7 billion won in 2 hours after taxes.
However, I decided not to sell the dimensional stones this time.
They would be essential for other planned production items or custom enhancement suits.
After completing the distribution, I headed straight to the airport.
I had already stored clothes and necessities in the space artifact.
I just needed my body to board the plane.
Two hours later.
Boarding on time, I was deeply immersed in the unique coziness of first-class.
It had been a long time.
In the late stages of my previous life, I primarily used ‘instant teleportation’ instead of airplanes.
‘Zero.’
I used Zero’s teleportation ability among the Nine Lords for long-distance travel.
While convenient for moving anywhere with enough preparation time, the problem was the headaches and nausea that increased with distance.
Once, I vomited continuously for 30 minutes immediately after teleportation.
So Nicholas, who always emphasized saving money, never listened to my suggestion of using a private jet…
Therefore, experiencing first-class was truly a rare occasion.
‘Where might Zero be? And Nicholas, please return quickly. I’m getting dizzy.’
I sincerely prayed towards somewhere in the sky.
As I began to get involved with my Nine Lords colleagues one by one, there seemed to be more to consider.
It was unbearable.
For someone like me who only wants to earn money and retire quickly, a 32-year grand plan was impossible.
Just then.
“Huh?”
A rare but familiar musky scent was detected right next to me.
Since we hadn’t taken off yet, I unbuckled my seatbelt and cautiously looked to the side.
At that moment.
“Yun Byeol-i?”
In the seat next to me, separated by a gap, was a familiar face.
It was Yun Byeol-i.
“…Yes?”
“Why are you here, Byeol-i?”
Did she follow me?
No, that couldn’t be.
Yun Byeol-i’s expression in response to my question wasn’t good.
Something seemed to have happened.
