chapter 28
(28)
Let’s filter out junk mobs that don’t make money
“Yes, Mr. Kim.”
“Sam Kang, you asked for something yesterday. Just in time, a friend told me that the contract with the guild had expired, so it was time.”
Yesterday, I suggested to Mr. Kim that we go hunting together during vacation, and asked him to find one more friend if he had one.
Most of the portals are for 3-4 people rather than 2 people.
“really? Good for you. Then I’ll see you next Monday.”
If I was alone, the only portal I could go to was a C-class portal for up to 2 people, so I wondered if I had to catch a junk mob that didn’t even cost money, but I’m glad.
* * *
“Didn’t you say you were taking a month off?”
“Master said that the best training is actual combat. And if you practice here while you rest, who will make money?”
Of course, even during vacations, my salary comes out, but then I deliberately didn’t say it because I thought they would ask me to buy more because I was making money while playing.
“So you’re not coming again?”
“Yes. But, like before, I will stop by two days a week. I might stop by more often.”
“No, you should have said something earlier, you bastard. If I had known in advance, I would have saved it.”
too much.
A disciple is going to fight a monster, but instead of worrying about the disciple, he is worried about his own food.
“Didn’t you eat it in moderation?”
“Are you going to buy more? I believe in our disciple!”
I don’t know where else I learned to speak like that.
“Yes Yes. Write down what you need because I’ll go buy it for you now.”
I received the necessary list from the master and exited the portal.
It’s already been three days since vacation started.
When I was working, the time I didn’t really go was vacation, so I felt like it passed in the blink of an eye even though I didn’t do anything.
I came down the mountain in 30 minutes using light air and came to the supermarket.
I looked at the list to buy things, but I wrote down a lot.
Seven kinds of ramen, ten kinds of sweets, chocolate bar, beef jerky, cheese, and coffee mix.
When I went in three days ago, I bought a lot of things and went in. Did I already eat all of them?
Of course, since we were together, I ate some, but I thought it would be almost two weeks worth of food.
Until now, I have been betting money and money from my master as a joke, but if it had not been for the 5 million won I received as an excellent teacher’s injury, I think I would have been in the red this month.
Of course, there is still a lot of money earned from stocks, but I spent a lot of money buying pizza for the people at school and buying various things for my master.
Moreover, most of the remaining money is reinvested, so there is little money on hand right now.
Originally, I was going through a lot of heartache last time, so I tried to stay away from stocks, but after thinking about it, I invested in Hwashin Electronics, where the father of the main character, Lee Ji-seong, is the chairman.
Of course, in this reinvestment, I did not do loans or credit transactions like before.
This is because it is a long-term investment, not a short-term surge.
The next year, the main character enters high school, and five years later, the main character graduates from the academy.
After graduating, the main character receives love calls from several guilds, but refuses them all and creates a guild with his father’s company as the parent company.
The guild created by the main character is, of course, the number one in Korea in the future… No, it grows into the world’s No. 1 guild.
As the guild’s value and profits increase, the stock price of the parent company will of course rise, but I’m not aiming for that.
Because it takes too much time for that to happen.
What I’m aiming for is a slightly closer future.
It was when the main character created a guild and it wasn’t long before.
In the novel, it is said that the company of the father of the main character, which has been going well without going through a single crisis, has become difficult because of the rejection of the president’s slush fund.
There is no story that the stock has fallen a lot under pressure from all directions, including tax investigations, but there is no way that the stock price will be fine when the president is determined and wants to kill a company.
The part I paid attention to is the part of ‘my father’s company that has been going well without going through a single crisis’.
If the company does well, the stock will do well too.
Until I had a conflict with the president, I would buy it steadily and see the profit, then sell it all around the time the main character graduates, and then buy it again when the main character’s father’s company becomes difficult.
It takes a little time, but in the end, the main character comes out and solves everything, and the president is impeached.
In fact, it is still a profit right now.
Well, since it’s a large company, stocks are expensive, so I can’t buy that many, so it’s not a big profit.
So, I plan to increase my capital by diligently working on a side job every vacation.
“Here is the card.”
After receiving the card, I put all the things I bought into the large backpack I had brought and climbed the mountain again.
The backpack was quite heavy, so it took a little longer than when I came down, but it didn’t make a big difference because I was so used to the road.
I left the story to the master to save some food and came down from the mountain again.
When I arrived in Seoul by bus, it was slightly past 12:00.
The appointment time is 1 o’clock, but I’m a bit hungry.
I was thinking of eating something simple, but I called Mr. Kim because I was afraid that he might ask me to meet him for a meal.
Mr. Kim also said that he had just met a friend and asked to have lunch together, so he said yes and hung up.
After moving to the meeting place and waiting for about 5 minutes, Mr. Kim and his friend arrived.
But my friend was a woman.
what… First of all, since I’m a man too, I like women over black men, but I said that it would be nice if I could be someone who puts more effort into it… .
Looking at her body type, she was a little disappointed because it was just like magic, but she greeted her brightly without revealing it.
“hello.”
“We were a little late. Did you wait a long time?”
“You came just right. I just arrived too. This is your friend. Hello, this is Kang Shin-hyeok.”
“This is my friend Lee Seol.”
“This is Hong Yi-seol.”
Is it Hong Yi-seol? Where have you heard… Oh, I remembered.
Park Tu-sul is the teacher who takes over the homeroom when the main character enters the third grade.
He was one of the characters who filled the 3rd grade, which could become boring because he had already spent 1st and 2nd grade at school.
I thought he would come back next year or the year after because he’s not at school right now, but it’s amazing to meet him like this.
“Mr. Kang, do you like our Lee Seol-i’s style?”
“Yes? Why did you suddenly say that… .”
“I want you to stare at me too hard.”
“no… I just think he looks a little like someone I know.”
“what? Are you giving a work comment right now? Even so, we wouldn’t be able to break through Lee Seol’s iron wall, right? When he goes to school, he only confesses… Ouch!”
For some reason, Iseol Hong tapped Mr. Kim on the side.
“I will tell you everything.”
“Will the master take my side?”
According to the contents of the original work, Hong Yi-seol seems to be quite friendly because he is a disciple of Kim Man-dong.
“I usually play around with no response… uh? No way, do you like Mr. Kang?”
“who… who! I don’t like this kind of parasitic brother-in-law style.”
Even if it’s not your style, isn’t it a bit like a parasitic brother when you first meet?
To be honest, I don’t like Hong Yi-seol’s style either.
Besides, Yi Seol Hong is one of the heroines who comes to like the main character later on.
Soon after the start of the second semester of the third year, the main character challenges the vice principal.
Hong Yi-seol, who thinks the main character is arrogant, bullies him a lot in the name of helping Dalian, but in the end, he is defeated by the protagonist and falls in love with him.
And as soon as the main character graduates, he quits school and follows him to the guild.
Of course, our insensitive protagonist doesn’t even know Hong Yi-seol’s feelings and gets along well with the other heroines, but the scene where Hong Yi-seol explodes and confesses was quite impressive.
In short, it has nothing to do with me.
“What is a parasitic brother in the first place? Mr. Kang, don’t put too much into it. He tends to talk a little bit, but he is nice.”
“Oh, sorry. Because of Sunhwa… .”
“it’s okay. Rather, how about we talk while eating?”
It was a waste of time, so we moved to eat and talked about our plans for the future.
There were some differences from combat positions to profit distribution, but I wanted to be able to talk well while making concessions and adjusting each other, but opinions were completely different in the portal level.
I’m in B rank, Mr. Kim is in B rank, and Yi Seol Hong is in A rank, so the three of us can go to the B rank portal with 4 people.
“Because it will never happen. 4 people is not 4 people for nothing. Absolutely C grade… No, since it’s my first time, I think it would be okay to go to the D-class portal and try to match.”
Of course, to maximize profits, he suggested going to the 4-person B-class portal, but Hong Yi-seol vehemently opposes it.
“There is no big difference between 4 and 3 people. That’s why the law is set like that.”
Besides, I didn’t do the screening, so if you just watch it, an A rank would be a piece of cake.
“I think I’m fine with Mr. Kang’s skills.”
“no… Both of them seem to think it’s too easy because they’re not on active duty, but I’ve seen a lot of hunters who get it wrong. Don’t be greedy, safety comes first, so go for Class C or Class D. Class B will go when the 3-person portal comes out later.”
I agree with the statement that safety comes first, but the difference in profit is quite large depending on the portal level.
Class C is roughly 500 based on a 4-person portal.
It’s less than 170 when divided by three, and it’s about 130 if you subtract 20% of the tax, transportation to the portal and the cost to pay to the company that will take the by-products.
On the other hand, B rank is at least 1,500 based on a 4-person portal, and there are cases where it is over 2,000.
Even with a rough calculation, the difference is 3 to 4 times, and the D grade is at the level of being able to make 1 million won only if it comes out well, so I didn’t even think about it.
The levels of monsters that appear in the first place are very low, such as Hobgoblins, Lizardmen, and Orcs.
As soon as the main character graduates, he goes straight from C grade and doesn’t even look at D grade.
If I add a little lie, it seems that it will take more time to move than to hunt if I go to the D-class portal.
hahahaha, that’s frustrating
“If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility.”
“If it goes wrong, you will die. How can Shin-hyeok take responsibility?”
What kind of A rank is so timid?
In my heart, I want to ask Mr. Kim to recognize some other friends.
Even if there were no entry restrictions, I would just sweep it all by myself without this annoying process… .
uh?
yes, that will work
“Then let’s do this. First, apply for a Class B portal, then enter the two of you and wait at the entrance. I will hunt alone.”
Anyway, when you enter the portal, it depends on the size, but the entrance side is unconditionally a safe area, but as time goes by, the range of the safe area gradually decreases.
The reason why monsters come into our world, which is called the portal liberation phenomenon, is that all safe areas have disappeared.
“What do you mean? Do you want to die?”
“Yes? No, Mr. Kang, no matter how much… .”
“If I don’t come back, the two of you will be out of harm’s way.”
“Are you saying that now? Seonhwa, what kind of person are you… .”
“I’m saying this because I’m really confident, so please believe me just once.”
No matter what happens, you have to put the first button well, but I don’t want to catch a ‘junk mob’ that doesn’t even make money from the start.
