My Subordinates Are Insanely Competent

00031 #2 – My minions know no fear

#2 – My subordinate knows no fear (6)

It’s only after at least a year of gameplay time has elapsed that gamers don’t even start contacting information merchants. In order to survive in a difficult labyrinth, there are many places where money will go.

From armor that is as good as extra lives, powerful weapons to defeat the enemy, training expenses to improve skills, other tools and daily necessities, entertainment expenses in the labyrinth city, etc.

It is the information merchant who realizes the importance of information while making a lot of money, goes to a bar and collects money to go there.

Of course I don’t have to.

He has already accumulated enough experience to rank among the rankers in the previous work.

He did not hesitate to pay, and he accumulated a lot of money.

“The quality of the information is unmistakable.”

“Sure! I’m not an asshole who splits and sells information. Is Lina going to introduce such a half-penny to the boss? Don’t worry, if you act like that, you’ll split your body in half too!”

“…that’s really reassuring.”

The quality of information is, of course, far more accurate than street gossip.

There is no need to hope that the information you want to know is accidentally mentioned in someone’s mouth, or through long hours of drinking and chatting to build friendships.

Pay money and buy information. Very simple things happen.

“From here on, the boss must go alone.”

“i get it.”

“Be careful. Because he is cautious about his first target.”

A bright red alley with a lot of red paint spilled.

As we walked along the path that felt ominous, at first we heard a voice from the wall of the alley.

“If you’re on the wrong road, get off immediately.”

“no. It came right.”

“who are you.”

I’m not Caesar, I’m the grim reaper who will strike and kill you in the first place.

I answered in a blunt tone.

“Wilhelm Meyer. He is the boss who is starting a small organization in this city.”

“boss? Is it a criminal organization? … . It might be worth a try.”

“exam? That’s fun. Do merchants test their customers these days?”

The information merchant chuckled as if my reaction was funny.

“First of all, information merchants do not sell services. I don’t make customers. Next, we need to determine whether you are an informant or a bastard who is here to tell the truth, or whether he is from the guards.”

“good night. How to check?”

“From now on, within an hour, by any means and methods, suffer a loss of about 10 gold. It will never be easy to spend 10 gold for the boss of a newly formed organization.”

As Lina said, she’s not an ordinary guy.

I realized I had met a pretty interesting infomercial.

What the other person wants is not money.

just judgment.

Selling 10 gold worth of information to an information merchant.

If it’s worth it, accept it as a customer.

it doesn’t matter if

If you can move 10 gold in a short period of time by any means, it will recognize your economic strength and resourcefulness.

There is no need to worry about losing money, so they accept it as a customer.

What is important here is the fact that the amount offered by the information merchant is 10 gold.

10 million won in Korean Won.

If you provide information below that, you have to continuously provide additional information, and naturally, the only information that newbies sell is information about themselves.

If all personal information is stolen and the information merchant is satisfied, it may be 10 gold, otherwise it may not be 10 gold.

You can’t even become a customer without losing your personal information.

‘You select prey and hunters.’

If you can sell exactly 10 gold worth of information, your information judgment will be highly appreciated and recognized. If you can extort 10 gold from someone else, you will appreciate and acknowledge that ability.

If you do not have enough information to sell or lack the ability to rob, they treat you as prey rather than a hunter, and use only low-level information to your liking.

In some cases, they take advantage of the lack of information and relentlessly sell their prey’s equipment, secrets, and even their lives to other good users of information.

“good night. I will sell you the information.”

In the past, information merchants were not aware of such a physiology.

But now it’s different.

I have weaker fighting power than any other gamers.

Instead, I spent the longest time in the labyrinth city, not the labyrinth.

Instead of driving his men into limbs, he faced all kinds of dangers on the ground and supported them to fully attack the labyrinth.

Compared to the past, this level is not even on the axis of ordeal.

It sells exactly 10 gold worth of information.

With that, I will try to win the hearts of this information merchant at once.

“Of course, you know about the case where the three instructors at Cheonghak Dojo were assassinated.”

“of course.”

“I know the secret to Cheonghak.”

The informant remained silent.

It is a signal that the taste is pulling.

If you weren’t interested, you wouldn’t even want to listen.

“Cheonghak, the owner of Cheonghak Dojo, pretended to teach his own martial arts, but his martial arts are not his. It’s a martial art that he stole from his own death penalty.”

“Oh.”

“He killed his master and forged his will. It was said that the property belonged to the person, and the death penalty held the non-payment. Cheong-Il accepted this, but Cheong-Hak stole the genuine, non-essential documents.”

No such content was confirmed in the conversation between the Cheonggye and the guards.

This is all conjecture.

However, even the information merchant cannot determine the authenticity or not.

‘This is probably a story related to the denial of Cheonghak.’

There is no way that Cheonghak himself leaked related information or left clues to anyone other than the guards.

In order to understand the truth, we need to find out the executioner, Cheong-il, and hear the truth from him.

However, it is impossible to find him with an unknown whereabouts so easily.

“However, the cost of traveling from the area where Cheonghak lived with his teacher to this place exceeded his expectations. The purpose of opening a dojo and living in the labyrinth city of Bram could not be achieved.”

“therefore?”

“He was able to borrow money after meeting with the usurer Bardon and putting one thing as collateral. It is a genuine non-essential book.”

From here on, this is the core of this information transaction.

“Cheonghak Dojang was built by demolishing the existing building. If you back-calculate the cost of construction, you can estimate that it is about 20 gold. Also, the price of the land there is close to 300 gold.”

“It’s amazing. They are processing information in a very interesting way.”

“Additionally, the amount required to register the dojo at the city hall and obtain an operating license. A training tool that must be brought into the dojo. the cost of hiring teachers. Including other miscellaneous expenses, the first month without revenue is 20 gold.”

A total of 340 gold.

“Even in the eyes of usurers who slander the value of collateral, genuine secret books are worth at least 10 gold to a maximum of 340 gold. If you know the value of something and buy it from Bardon.”

“You can earn more than that. Interesting. Very interesting. No one sold this kind of information in the exam.”

The information merchant paused for a moment and then asked abruptly.

“I’m going to ask my friend. What do you think is the price for information from non-medical documents?”

“It’s 1 gold.”

The information merchant seemed to be quite amazed.

“Did you just say it with your mouth? The secret letter was judged to be worth from a minimum of 10 gold to a maximum of 340 gold in the eyes of a usury. It would have been 175 gold if we counted the average value alone, right?”

“The value of inaccurate information is treated as one-tenth. The value of unreliable information is again treated as 1/10. The value of unneeded information is again treated as one-tenth.”

“!!”

“The value of a non-ministerial book is only one-thousandth of the original, 1 Silver 75 Cooper.”

“So, it wouldn’t even come close to the 1 gold you mentioned?”

Of course it is.

“If it is the value of non-emergency books, then yes. The criterion I set the price on is the price for the information of the non-significant.”

“indeed. If so, I would like to hear about the method of calculating the price.”

“Determining the authenticity of information directly consumes too much time and resources. So you will sell the information you get from me to others.”

“Not a bad insight. I’m starting to like it.”

“If this information smells like treasure, it is not appropriate to sell it in the dark. The sales amount per case for detailed information of unsecured items is about 30 silver. If you sell it three times, you get 90 silver.”

The information merchant was delighted.

“How about the remaining 8 silver and 15 coopers?”

“Three users of information are competing with each other and it is the cost of additional information to purchase. If you want to fight for the treasure, you will have to pay that much.”

“great. I really like your logic. I will accept the claim that the price of information from non-medical books is 1 gold.”

However, it is significantly below the target amount.

“Now, how are you going to fill the remaining 9 gold?”

Of course, we sell related information.

“If you can earn 8 silver and 15 coopers just by inducing small competition in advance, if you have more advanced information, you might be able to sell it at a higher price.”

“Is that… you want to sell linked information?”

“Of course. I will also create and hand over some advanced information to sell to the three competitors.”

Recalling the conversation between the guard and Cheonghak, I reprocessed the information again.

“Bardon and Cheonghak fought a duel to determine whether or not to accept illegal interest payments, and Cheonghak won. Of course, the interest was paid by Bardon to take away the secret book.”

“And lost? Then the non-essential documents must have passed into the hands of Cheonghak. If you sell this information to information users who have been pecking hard at Bardon, they will gladly open their pockets.”

“The price per piece is 1 gold. The total sales amount is 5 gold.”

The information merchant burst into laughter.

“Knuckle. Did your hair suddenly twist? Three pieces of 1 gold make up 5 gold, so are you an alchemist?”

“There is nothing wrong with it.”

“What?”

“If you induce 1 gold as an information protection fee for three sales, those who purchase information for the second and third times will purchase the same information for 2 gold.”

“that…!!”

The information merchant was genuinely surprised.

Breathing trembled.

He asked me in a voice expecting something.

“Is this your first time using an information merchant?”

“Of course. Until now, there was no reason to do that.”

“There was no reason other than money, la.”

Information on information protection costs cannot be sold.

If you are an information trader, of course you know.

“What do you think is the price for the existence of information protection costs?”

“It is zero.”

“why? This is useful information that made the profit from 3 gold to 5 gold at once? In the future, it can induce information protection costs on numerous transactions and generate huge income.”

“It is a system that can be thought of simply by paying a little attention to information trading. If it was a low-key guy who had to pay money to buy something like this, he wouldn’t even come to visit me in person.”

“great. very good. Even though he dug a trap, he was able to see through it skillfully. Even though I was given the opportunity to fill all 10 gold at once, I knew it was a trap without any hesitation.”

Baby, that’s funny.

How dangerous would it be if you rolled your head a little and dug a trap?

Compared to my unpredictable subordinates and bombs, your predictable traps are nothing but cute jokes.

“What will cover the price of the remaining 4 gold?”

“It’s getting annoying. Let’s pay the rest with cash.”

thump.

When the money bag sound was heard, the information merchant burst into laughter.

“Great! I am a first-time user of information like you. Maybe it’s the first time someone worthy of being called a customer has come. If you’re like you, I’d be happy to provide a service.”

“Then the test passed?”

“Of course I passed. It doesn’t matter if you don’t give 4 gold. It’s not that you can’t sell because you don’t know, it’s that you know that you’re just trying to save time because it’s really annoying.”

A voice full of joy said to me.

“Well, the cost you spent was well over 10 gold.”

“What does that mean?”

“The ability to process information on the fly and measure and present sales practices. I was able to get a glimpse of the amazing insight of the boss of the organization. Wilhelm Meyer. The price of getting to know a human being you is 100 gold.”

Is it a man of 100 million won?

Damn, you underestimate me as a ranker.

I can’t help but show you that much.

“That was wrong. The damage I suffered was exactly 10 gold worth.”

“yes?”

“The losses I suffered from being discovered of my abilities were all made up of by gaining the favor of the information merchant. It is an equivalent exchange.”

If I am a 100-million-won man, you are also a 100-million-won information merchant.

I am so happy that I am about to die when I paint it with gold.

The information merchant’s laughter showed no sign of stopping.

“I ate one of these. great. As you say. A series of information about the secretaries could earn you about 10 gold. The test passed perfectly.”

“Then are you selling information?”

“of course. As an added bonus, we offer you a special service face-to-face and make the real deal.”

Druck.

The wall of the alley opened and a staircase leading inward appeared.

I went up the stairs without hesitation.
