Chapter 24 - Make money strategically (1)

"It's crazy."

Armor Acquisition Quest. And the stats of the sealed weapon obtained for the first time. Rokhan's expression went blank for a moment as he confirmed them.

The only thing sealed is this ability

No matter how you look at it, it was an item that could only be obtained at least level 100, no, level 150, and there were no restrictions on wearing it. Even if he wore just one of them without any other armor, his total defense would be comparable to or higher than that of a decent warrior class.

"I never thought it would be like this… … ."

Come to think of it, the person who cleared this quest made a name for himself even though his control wasn't that great. He did not know how many parts he had obtained, including the Lion King's sealed helmet, but it was clear that it was Tembal.

"The lack of hints is a problem, but… … ."

There was no way to know where or how to get the rest of the parts, but Lokhan didn't worry too much. Because there's no way he couldn't do what he did.

However, what I was interested in was whether the set effect would be exerted even if I did not collect all the parts. Speaking of set items, it was characterized by the fact that the set effect gradually strengthened according to the number of parts worn.

"Anyway, it exceeds expectations."

[The hero's test has completely ended.]

[The Lion King's arms have the power to attract each other. You can tell when you get close to another weapon.]

[Instant dungeon 'Lion King's Tomb' will disappear.]

[After a while, they move outside. 5, 4, 3... … .]

While Lokhan admired, the system did its job diligently. It seemed that the door he opened by pointing to the wall was actually the entrance to the Instant Dungeon.

After a while, the surroundings seemed to change into particles of light, and Rokhan's body was forced to move outside.

* * *

The place Rokan returned to was the square where he first met the statue of the Lion King.

"Is it the square again?"

It was then.

Blah, blah, blah!

"What damage!"

The moment Lokhan returned to the plaza at the right time, the statue collapsed on its own.

But no one doubted Rokhan. For he was not the only one who returned to the village with the light.

It was the same effect that occurs when using the return scroll, so it just looked like the statue collapsed on its own.

'Is the 'Messenger of Love' next?

Either way, Rokhan could only think of his next plan.

The next goal is a series of quests starting with the delivery of love letters. In this quest, which can be received after raising the reputation to [Friendly], the main characters of the love letter confirmed their love for each other only after completing a 12-step small delivery quest.

'Ah, my insides explode.'

But the problem is that the woman already has a fiancé.

In fact, it wasn't even a fiancé, it was just that marriage talks had recently come in. It was a situation where anyone could intervene, but the problem was that the man didn't care much.

It's not that she couldn't earn her own food, but her family belonged to the axis that accumulated quite a bit of wealth among the common people, and the man she was talking about was of a similar level.

Because of that, the two of them loved each other, but the opposition in the family was fierce.

At most, both of them were commoners, so there was so much to argue about.

The conclusion was to force marriage with the man with whom the marriage talk came. The woman did not dare to disappoint the expectations of her family.

Sending the man away in tears, the woman left a gift with her last letter.

[Tear Emerald Necklace] [Magic]

A necklace made of emeralds resembling a woman's tears. There is a longing for the loved one and a wish for well-being.

-Hemostatic effect

-Base health regeneration +50%

-All healing effects +20%

"Is it really okay if I take it?"

But the man only read the letter and said he would not accept the gift. If there is, it seems that she will be in pain because of her self-defeating feeling, not forgetting her forever. She said maybe she'd have to put it together and take years, decades, she could buy it and she might want to sell it, she said.

Thanks to that, it became Lokhan's.

'It's nice, but... … .'

The effect of the teardrop emerald necklace was truly amazing. It was so wonderful that it was unbelievable that it was only a magic grade item. It was good enough to keep using it until I got the 'Elf's Tears Necklace', which is compatible with this.

In particular, it was no exaggeration to say that it was the most efficient item for Rokan, who needed to rapidly increase his vitality within 5 seconds due to the aftereffects of Berserk. It was not a necklace, but an item with the same effect in any other form was attractive enough to wear this necklace without thinking about other items.

But the mouth was bitter.

"Whoa, living here and in real life is the same as fuck."

In fact, even Rokan didn't know much about the story after this. There was a story that this man succeeded by gritting his teeth, and there was also a story that he committed suicide because he couldn't stand her shabby self, and there was also a story that he regretted her whole life by marrying someone in moderation to forget her.

It was because the person who cleared the quest did not reveal the story behind this man, even though he appeared as a story on a game broadcast and left everyone bitter.

So, Rokan only hoped that he would not make an extreme choice. It would be nice to watch him more, but unfortunately he didn't have time either.

"I'm busy, I'm busy."

Instead of following the man, Rokhan moved on to the next quest.

There were so many things I had planned at first, but because of the title effect, my reputation was [Friendly] from the start, so all the quests for reputation work jumped.

Instead, he went through all the essential quests that could be obtained from a reputation of [Friendly] or higher.

Quests with good rewards, lots of experience points, or small but useful titles. Rokan picked out only those quests and solved them.

Among them, there were quite a few things that could only be done once, such as the love letter quest.

A few of them had already been resolved, but Lokhan was able to clear most of the things he had planned for the first time.

"It was good."

Thanks to that, I only invested three full days of my time as a solver, but the results were satisfactory. As a quest reward, the level was raised by one, and as a title effect, the main stats were also increased by 10 or more.

In addition, it was not a loss because it had useful special effects such as increased resistance.

However, it seemed that it was not only Rokan who was busy. When I opened my ears with a sigh, I heard all sorts of news.

"I heard that there are people who have already reached level 70."

"Level 70 is aegyo. I heard there is also a level 80."

"Awesome, I envy you. When do I hit level 50?"

"So do 'Daksa'. How many do you catch before they spread? We can't hunt for a long time because of you."

"Ac, where was it yesterday because of me? It's because of those damn PK bastards."

"Ew, who doesn't clean up those bastards? I am always in the red because I die and run away."

Who has reached what level, what class tree is trending, what item is on the auction house and it is a jackpot. A lot of information flowed in so that there was no need to visit the bulletin board.

'Suddenly I'll have to speed up too.'

Picking up the news, Rokhan once again strengthened his will to fight. His level-up speed is phenomenal enough, but the speed of 'optimizing the light level' of Koreans is recognized worldwide.

In order to preoccupy big things in the future, it seemed necessary to speed up the level up a bit more.

Still, there was one reason why Rokhan hadn't left the village yet.

'I think it's about time... … .'

Because the update he remembers happened around this time.

I can't remember the exact time and date, so I stay in the city and wait.

'You can't be a nobleman.'

And then, a new notice appeared.

[Notice 1. The guild system has been updated.]

[As of now, you can create a guild by purchasing 'Guild Stone'. Guild stones can be destroyed by attacks, so please install them in a safe place or pay a certain fee to the guild management office and leave them.]

[Notice 2. The housing system has been updated.]

[As of the current time, you can buy a vacant house in the city or buy real estate and build a house yourself. When you own a house, you must pay a certain amount of tax every month, and if the tax is overdue for more than 3 months, the house may be auctioned off or automatically demolished, so please be careful.]

[Notice 3. Some items have been added. List of Additional Items: Contract, Silk Bandage, Hair Dye… … .]

"Ah, finally."

It was an update of the guild system. They are no longer going around as a guild by themselves, but can be officially recognized by the system.

"Babes, you must be cold."

Confirming that it was not different from what he knew, Rokhan grinned. He already knows how much the 'Guild Stone' costs.

The price of a single scroll that could summon a guild stone was 50 gold. As it was too much money to just play a guild, there was a high probability that those who were halfway disbanded and entered the guild that was created first.

"The MP guild is going to be a bit upset."

Coincidentally, it was the same as the amount he earned from selling the secret dungeon, so he laughed.

Of course, I didn't have any intention of creating a one-man guild at this point, but originally, it was fun to watch other people's high school students.

However, there was a lot of interest in the contents of the second update. 'Housing system'. There was only one future that could be brought about by the update of the system, where you could buy or rent an empty house in the city, or even buy land and build a new house.

Soaring real estate prices!

Supply is limited, but demand will continue to increase, so the price will not go up and I can't stop.

"Investment is also real estate."

Because of that, Rokan immediately went to the auction house and collected the proceeds from the sale of the auction items. Since these items are bound to be popular, the decision to sell them has come a long way.

[Possession amount: 65 gold, 32 silver, 63 copper]

A whopping 65 gold! The current market price was 200,000 won for 1 gold, so even if it was converted into cash, it was a whopping 13 million won, but Rokan felt infinitely insufficient.

It is because what he is going to do from now on is going to cost a lot more money than that.

* * *

Lokhan, who had prepared as much money as possible, found the executor in the territory faster than anyone else. And he announced his intention to sign an empty house.

"I want to sign a house contract."

"What type of house do you want to sign a contract with?"

"I want to see as much as possible the 3-room house and the 2-story house. We hope that the contract will be a long-term rental."

Interestingly, it is a rental, not a purchase.

To put it simply, it was the difference between buying and selling and renting. You can have your own home, but it doesn't have to be through purchase.

In a situation where the housing system had just been updated, it was not something that ordinary users would know about, but Rokan was an exception.

'65 gold. It's close enough, but if I can get the first place, I'll just sit back and make money.'

Rokan, who followed the executor around the empty houses in the city, was satisfied and expressed his intention to proceed with the contract. As mentioned at the beginning, the terms of the contract were long-term rentals.

It was a way to obtain temporary ownership of the house instead of paying monthly rent for a year. In addition, the initial contractor had the privilege of being the preferred negotiator after the contract period ended.

"great. But... … You want to sign all of this."

However, the number was astonishing. As long-term rental, the monthly rental fee was reduced to some extent, but even so, only the monthly rental fee was the minimum gold unit. A 3-room house cost 4 gold, and a two-story house cost 5 gold, so even if you signed a contract for just 10 houses, it would cost 40 to 50 gold.

However, there were 15 houses in all of Rokan's photos. There are ten three-room houses and five two-story houses. In fact, it was safe to say that all of the 3-room houses and 2-story houses that appeared in Trinsic were for sale.

It was a big contract worth 65 gold, so the executor was surprised and checked it once again.

"Yes, please do everything."

"great. Instead, you must pay the first month's rent in advance."

The executor did not ask any further questions about Rokhan's firm words. Instead, he paid the rental fee in advance. In addition, fees up to 32 silver and 50 copper. Thanks to that, Rokhan became a true beggar.

[Possession Amount: 13 Cooper]

"Hehehehe!"

However, he only laughed like a person who had lost his mind about what was good.

"Should I lightly trade twice or not? Still, you should get 3 times the price. … "

Rokhan was thinking of selling the rights to the long-term rental house back to the guilds. Right now, they only have their eyes on buying guild stones, but after buying guild stones, they will definitely have their eyes on the house.

Being a guild house meant the strength and power of the guild. In a situation where there was no warehouse, it was not only out of shape to store the extra items and guild stones left in the inventory, but the single room was too small.

In the end, they had no choice but to rent a three-room house or a two-story house preoccupied by Lokhan.

Real estate speculation strategy to eat other people's money with other people's land!

It was the moment when the goose that lays the golden egg came into Lokhan's hands.
