Episode 100

Beast King’s leather armor set.
Users call it [Beast Set] for short.
An item of at most five sets known all over the world.
It’s not that it’s particularly hard to find or anything.
It also drops from field bosses and can be obtained with a low probability.
The only problem is that the field boss that drops the [Beast Set] is an A-class field boss.
There are about 10 parties in the world that can defeat A-class field bosses, but among them, it is an item that drops only when you catch [Beast King], so even the number of objects is limited.
It’s a miracle that five sets were made at least.
People say they are on the lucky side.
Field bosses in other A-rank fields also drop armor, but [Beast Set] was especially famous for a reason.
“first. A set of leather armor. this is really precious No matter how much the world ignores the laws of physics, there is a certain degree of probability for items, right? Most of the armor with high defense is made of sheet metal. Tankers inevitably have to wear something like that. Because you need to have high defense to tank.”
Kim Hye-ji explained as diligently as a fish in water.
“By the way, a leather armor set with S-class defense? Tankers don’t have the ability to invest in agility, so they increase their strength or stamina, but when they become lighter with items, they choose the value they didn’t invest in agility as an item. You can avoid things that don’t have to be hit.”
“Mmm.”
It was the life of a tanker who did not sympathize with Yoo Joo-yeon, but she was convinced to some extent.

Just looking at Kim Sang-wook, who wears armor made of sheet metal every day, doesn’t his eyes shine?
“Is the difference that big?”
“It feels like wearing a military uniform while doing a morning roll call.”
“… … It has been understood.”
Tankers are going to turn a blind eye.
“So you only like tanks? no This is crazy for long distance and melee dealers. Tankers actually want a leather armor set for convenience, and the rest of the kids don’t have the ability to invest in physical strength, so they die like a sunfish, but their armor has S-class defense? It means an extra life that saves someone from dying.”
Kim Hye-ji’s eyes were shining.
“If you can buy it, you should definitely buy it.”
But soon after seeing Yoo Ju-yeon, he pouted his lips.
“I’ll have to give it to the boss.”
In the end, this was what it was.
“Isn’t it just a wannabe item that everyone wants?”
“yes. A sample of armor. S-class defense. The resulting fit is leather, not sheet metal. With just these two, in fact, everyone is running in a hurry without having to look at the options.”
“… … That’s why there are so many people.”
It was a department store VVIP auction house, and people were crowded as if they were watching a market.
Although the luxurious auction room is staffed one by one to guide you, you can definitely feel that there are many people.
“Since you talk like you’re holding a discount event at a local mart, I thought it was just seasonal food that comes out from time to time.”
“lol. did you? No matter how many there are, there is a high probability that you will survive.”
“If it’s that good, wouldn’t it be impossible to live with 70 billion?”
“no way. Even though. There is such a thing as price. Of course, this is the first time that three beasts have been auctioned off, and besides the first reason, is there another reason that rankers are looking for with their eyes on?”
“option?”
“huh! Second option. Actually, that’s what I’m worried about. There are quite a few other S-class armor sets, but the beast set is particularly famous, and what people are looking for is that the beast set’s set option has a damage reduction effect from ranged attacks.”
“… … Why are you putting such a fraudulent option on an alternative item?”
“therefore. Recently, special fields have been released, and in many fights, long-distance attacks are a burden. Looking at the performance summary, the beast set is currently ranked first among the S-class armor sets.”
“… … .”
With 70 billion won on his back, his confidence dropped slightly.
I thought maybe.
How sad it would be if you realized that you had an amount you would never earn in your lifetime, and there was something you couldn’t buy with it.
Seats were allocated and waiting for the auction to begin.
[Beast Set] came up with lights on the auction stage reflected through the glass across the room.
“and.”
“oh… … .”
I realized the moment I saw it.
“This is going to be really intense.”
I didn’t expect much because it was leather armor.
Items are originally worn based on performance, not fashion.
Even if the leather is full of hair, you have to wear it, but that [Beast Set] had a black sheen and the parts that covered vital parts were perfect.
You will look cool when you wear it.
This is the first thought that comes to mind.
“A S-class [Beast King’s armor set] that looks good enough to be worn as a fashion item. There are only 5 sets in existence worldwide, and they are the first to be sold at auction. First bid of 3 billion. We will start bidding for 100 million each.”
The auction begins immediately.
3 billion. 3.1 billion. 3.5 billion. 4 billion.
It is a bidding in units of 100 million, but at some point it goes up by 500 million.
“omg.”
“Is it too fierce?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen an auction like this.”
Kim Hye-ji looks at the numbers going up in a daze, as if she is flustered.
The words are 3 billion, 4 billion.
The 3,000,000,000 displayed on the screen is quite daunting.
“7 billion came out!”
Before I knew it, one set of items was surpassing the price of a tolerable building.
It has long since exceeded the price of other S-class armor sets that have already been traded.
Of course, the armor sets that were traded were quite old, and recently, S-grade or higher armor sets were highly valued, so there was a lot of public opinion that this level was still cheap.
“10 billion came out! Do you have 11 billion, 11 billion?”
Maybe that’s why, the 10 billion that was expected to be expensive has already been passed over.
Yoo Joo-yeon admired the expected amount that was exceeded even though she had never made a bid.
“I’ve seen a lot of really rich people come here?”
“The community is in a frenzy right now. I saw a lot of overseas rankers who came from the airport on private planes.”
“It’s fun.”
Hearing that for no reason makes me want to compete.
To be honest, I’m buying it for a short time, so even if I can’t buy it, there’s no big deal.
Because Yoo Joo-yeon had quite a few means to defend herself.
However, it was an armor set that rankers rushed at with their eyes on.
Right now, Juyeon Yoo is lacking compared to the top rankers, but at least at the auction, wouldn’t she have a weapon to fight on an equal footing with?
I screamed
“Twenty billion.”
“20 billion! 20 billion came out!”
* * *
Hyeseong Lee was eagerly raising the auction price.
He was the one who raised it to 500 million and broke through the first 10 billion.
“Whoops. You are following me well.”
As expected.
Numerous rankers came to buy the [Beast Set], but not many rankers could borrow a lot of money.
That’s the pros and cons of an auction.
If cash is not paid within 24 hours after winning the bid, the winning bid is automatically passed to the next highest bidder.
That’s why even hundreds of billions of assets can’t bet that much money on such a sudden appearance and auction.
So I was confident.
The money Lee Hye-seong received from the Daehan Guild was 15 billion.
Honestly, with this money, I could buy 2 sets of other S-class armor sets instead of [Beast Set].
However, it should be [Beast Set].
Perhaps other rankers came with the same idea.
“Slowly, fewer and fewer people follow.”
Wouldn’t everyone have thought of the Maginot Line at 10 billion won?
Even 7 to 8 billion won is expensive enough.
No matter how S-class armor it is.
I thought so, and I’m thinking of finishing the auction, and I’m going to call 12 billion as a wedge.
“20 billion! 20 billion came out!”
“what?”
Some lunatic got the number wrong.
I was shocked to see it, but the numbers on the display board didn’t change.
20,000,000,000
Even good items have a market price.
It means that no matter how much I pour 20 billion or 30 billion, the value of the item does not rise that much.
Of course, if it’s the only item in the world, if there’s more demand than that, that might be the case.
[Three Beasts] is not like that.
Obviously, the options are good, but there are not many for sale.
“Are you crazy?”
It’s not like it’s impossible at all.
The world is wide and there are many rich people.
If you really need an item to buy with 15 billion, you can buy it with 20 billion.
It’s okay to skip those days thinking you’re unlucky.
After all, things will continue to come out.
“It’s the age of 20 billion beasts. The price of S-class armor will rise in the future.”
I lost the auction, but there was a smile on my face.
Daehan Guild has several S-class armor sets.
Among them, Lee Hye-seong also owns about 2 sets.
If today’s auction becomes known to the world, the value of other S-class armor will naturally rise, and he will also be able to invest for free.
Whoever it is, thank you.
Now, seeing the bid, I was about to get up.
“25 billion came out. It’s amazing.”
“… … what?”
There wasn’t just one madman.
20 billion came out and the 60 teams sitting in the auction were quiet.
I thought the auction was over.
Perhaps all of the 58 teams have the same thoughts and reactions as Lee Hye-sung.
Among them, 20 billion won and 25 billion won are big money, but there are many people who can handle that amount.
However, the richer the line, the clearer the line about value.
The reason I don’t follow the auction price is because I don’t see the value of [Beast Set] that much.
Not just one or two teams, but over 50 teams thinking that way is one of two things.
“Are those two crazy people who have nothing to do with money?”
Originally, this should be accepted as the theorem.
However, after seeing 30 billion won immediately after 25 billion won, I thought about it.
“Or am I just a hogu who can’t even recognize an item that came out as an opportunity I won’t have again?”
While feeling confused, I skipped 35 billion won and came out with 40 billion won.
Room 18.
Since the inside cannot be seen from the outside, everyone clung to the window and looked through number 18, but nothing was visible.
and 1 time.
40 billion came out and there was silence for a while.
Everyone’s eyes were now on number one.
“I’ll count to 10 seconds.”
10. 9. 8.
will you follow
will you give up
… … 3. 2. 1.
earth! earth! earth!
“40 billion. has been auctioned off. [Beast King’s Armor Set]. 40 billion was awarded. Congratulations!”
Everyone clapped.
Everyone came with the idea that they would win, so the taste was bitter, but it was worth it.
“To see an auction where S-class items, not SS-class, were bid for 40 billion won.”
It was a rare scene.
And Yoo Joo-yeon, who spent 40 billion won on the item, welcomed an unexpected guest.
“I ask to see you in room 1, what should I do? He said he would know if I told him that he was the friend who gave me the ring.”
“uh. no way? I’ll see you.”
A man with impressive thick eyebrows and clear features.
“Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. This is Muhammad Al.”
It was my first meeting with him.
