Episode 101
5.
Muhammad Al.
At first, I couldn’t remember for a moment.
“ah. He gave me an elemental ring… … What was your name?”
“Give me the elemental ring? what is that?”
“You know what I told you a few days ago. I received an SS grade item. No. 1 in the rankings.”
“omg. Muhammad Al?”
“ah! right! Muhammad Al!”
I was living so busy that I forgot about it.
As I thought about what he said about friends, it seemed that the woman who had come to pick up the ring had asked me to be her friend.
Seeing that I was given what I deserved, my gratitude gradually faded and it was erased from my memory before I knew it.
“hello.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person.”
Even though Muhammad Al was a wizard, he was as big as a melee class user.
Muscles were attached here and there, apparently exercising, and the clothes he was wearing were leather armor, not a robe.
“uh? that… … .”
“One of the five sets I am wearing. hahahaha.”
His personality was also refreshing.
“congratulations. Actually, I was thinking of buying one more set and putting it on the party members, but 40 billion won. It has grown quite a bit.”
“Thanks. But you really gave this to me, right?”
It made me feel relieved, but I wanted to hear the answer from my own mouth in preparation for any unexpected whim.
“of course. I will not repeat my words. It’s a pity, but I’m proud to see it used by a better owner.”
I let out a sigh of relief at the words of the interpreter, Lee Soo-yeon.
The first thing that comes to mind as the reason Muhammad Al came was because of the item retrieval.
“ah. Then why… … .”
Are you here?
I didn’t think I was going to say something to a visiting guest, so I hesitated for a while to say the end, but Lee Soo-yeon understood it and handed it over to Muhammad Al.
Muhammad Al laughed.
“ha ha ha.”
It wasn’t unpleasant, but rather sat in a chair and talked.
“I wanted to meet you once. I had so many schedules that I didn’t even have time to come to Korea, but I heard that there was an auction and I was participating. I am very happy to meet you.”
“ah… … .”
I don’t know what to do with the horse ranked #1.
Although he has EX-class unique characteristics, Muhammad Al is the best user in the industry, maintaining the number 1 ranking for several years.
“I am interested in your abilities.”
Such users do not make friends simply out of curiosity.
“Will you be my friend?”
“… … Suddenly?”
I was taken aback by the sudden confession.
To say such a confession not when the two of you are alone, but in the presence of Kim Hye-ji, Kim Sang-wook, and Lim Soo-ha.
“I’m sorry, but everyone here is the same fixed party… … .”
He is the nobleman who gave me the [Elemental Ring].
No matter how much I promised that I would not take it away, I had no choice but to speak carefully.
When I said it as if I was in trouble, Muhammad Al shook his hand.
“It’s not about having a party. If we can become friends and go around the field together someday, we will be satisfied. Don’t just get under the radar. Because that place is at war with me.”
“Eh?”
And again, I was surprised by the sudden appearance of the word.
“Why is the radar suddenly appearing?”
It was the beginning of a new story.
Muhammad Al’s explanation was simple.
The name of the Raider Guild has been heard occasionally these days, but it was founded 3-4 years ago and has been collecting boss items.
It is expanding its power all over the world, and it does not hesitate to PK and commit terror in order to obtain a boss item.
In fact, a few small countries that have become lawless are currently being managed by the Radar Guild, circling the field and producing boss items.
And recruited rankers.
Although they are not showing any movement yet, among the rankers who have refused to recruit, there are cases where they use other rankers to PK rankers who are wearing good items.
Above all, it is said that Muhammad Al has been under pressure since a year ago.
“omg. Are you insane?”
Muhammad Al is such a perfect user that some users say he is a god.
SS class unique characteristics.
money to support him.
money is power
As the prince of an oil-producing country, Muhammad Al, who has the power to even move an army, moves with dozens of rankers when he leaves the field once.
If you go to war with him, it’s a power that one tolerable country will be in ruins.
“Are you okay with touching it?”
“Raider is a guild, but it is more like a point organization. To root it out, you have to hit the top, but I haven’t found it yet.”
“Oops.”
“Anyway, with Radar, one of them will one day become a mortal enemy, so please be my friend. I feel secure when I am with you.”
In short, it means that we are fighting, so we are taking sides.
Through the words of Muhammad Al, it was possible to know that the Raider Guild was bigger than expected.
“For some reason, every time I came, something got bigger.”
If you were neutral, you might have been worried.
It’s not a worry about joining the raider guild, but if you stay neutral, nothing will happen, and if you stand on the side of Muhammad Al during the war, even Yoo Joo-yeon might get caught up in trouble.
But now it’s different.
Yu Ju-yeon is already at war with Radar.
“I guess you don’t know that yet?”
“… … ?”
“I am already at war with Raider. You probably hate me more than Mr. Al?”
“What is it?”
I didn’t really know, so I explained it simply.
The first time I got involved with the Raider Guild.
The situation where the Chinese Raider Guild came.
Even the treasures obtained in the process and the events that followed.
“… … Lin Shaoling’s treasure. Could it be that you got the imitation bracelet in your hand?”
“omg. How did you know that?”
Yoo Joo-yeon was more surprised because she did not know that she would hear the [Imitation Bracelet] from someone else’s mouth.
I didn’t do a background investigation, and I didn’t even know that Yoo Ju-yeon was involved with the raider guild, but I knew about the imitation bracelet.
“It was something only those in the know knew. As for the rumor that Lin Shaoling killed a key raider officer and took the SS-class trinkets he obtained. It was a story that was secretly erased enough to disappear after wandering around for a few days only as a rumor. It was real.”
Even interpreter Lee Soo-yeon was surprised.
“I’m glad though. It’s dangerous, but I’ll help you in the future. I should have paid a little more attention I’m sorry.”
“no. what the hell… … .”
Although he heard the news of Yoo Ju-yeon from time to time, he said that he couldn’t find out the details of the incident because there were too many things these days.
The moment when the thought that you will know about the incidents around the world when you reach number 1 in the rankings becomes colorless.
Anyway, meeting Muhammad Al was quite fun.
“See you next time.”
The departing Al gave a present as he left.
“It’s a gift that made me a friend, and it’s also a pity that I raised the auction price. I hope this helps.”
The large travel carrier was full of potions.
“omg.”
A dark red potion that flows in a medicine bottle that seems to be used only in a luxurious magic tower.
Anyone can see that it is a potion.
“Isn’t this an elixir?”
It’s a potion, but it’s a high-end potion that ordinary users can’t even see.
The best potion is that the severed arm can be attached and used again if you pour the potion on it.
Anything more effective than that is called an elixir.
There is no particular reason why it is called an elixir.
God’s potion was already called an elixir in fantasy novels and movies, and it’s just called that because its efficacy is similar.
Needless to say the price.
It’s a potion that even the general public can’t use as much as it’s effective, and because of its rarity, it’s a consumable that’s valued more as a safe asset than gold.
“wait for a sec. Today’s elixir price… … .”
Gold can be bought with money, but Elixir cannot be obtained even though the standard price is fixed.
“… … It’s 128 million won per bottle.”
Inside the carrier was a good 100 bottles of elixir.
“Even with 100 bottles, 12.8 billion won… … .”
12.8 billion is not a problem.
It is impossible to obtain 100 bottles at once.
I put it in this travel carrier and gave it away.
“As expected, Muhammad Al… … .”
Kim Hye-ji, who had an unusually long afterword at the end of her words today, sighed as she looked at Yoo Ju-yeon.
“why. what.”
“You really are a man like an onion.”
The more you look at it, the more amazing it is.
“I was a woman who hated onions, so I picked out all the onions in the curry. From today, I think you can even eat onions.”
A shy confession with sparkling eyes.
“What a crazy thing. If I did that for you, go straight to the police station.”
“If it’s you, you can take my shell… … .”
I see the back of Al, who leaves behind Kim Hye-ji, who is talking nonsense.
It’s an elixir, you just have to decide whether to use it or sell it.
If you didn’t have eggs, you could have bought [Set of Beasts] for 20 billion won, so isn’t it a loss?
I had a thought.
But in the end, I was proud.
“Now this ring is mine.”
Didn’t you come to take care of the anxiety that always remained in the corner of your heart?
You don’t have to worry about the Elemental Ring.
I also got a temporary set of S-class armor.
Above all, the main dish that I haven’t tried yet.
[Buff blessing] was waiting for him.
“Juyeon-ah. What should I do with this elixir?”
“It’s not like money is urgent, so why don’t you just leave it alone. A good potion? You can carry a few for your regular expenses.”
“okay.”
I quickly went to pick up the bid [Beast Set].
* * *
Lee Hye-seong blankly watched the [Beast Set] go down the stage through the window.
“under. bye.”
It’s a really hard-earned budget.
It is also the budget given after making a big decision to follow it unconditionally in Korea.
It’s to the point of saying that I’ll tighten my belt until the end of this year.
Right before the auction, I heard some tingling noises from a few rankers.
But couldn’t buy it.
lost completely
can’t appeal
In an auction, skill is money, and if you lose money, you have to admit it cleanly.
I wondered who would wear it.
“If you throw away 40 billion each… … .”
There are only a few characters that come to mind.
one of the dogs.
“… … Muhammad Al.”
Wouldn’t it be possible if you are ranked number 1 and one of the richest people in the world?
If I lost to Al, I would understand.
But who was the user who ran with him?
I don’t know who it was, but the taste seemed bitter.
“How futile it must be to bet 35 billion and lose.”
There are many rich people in the world, and there are many rich people above them.
I once again pondered my regret.
“ah. In this D-class special field, we really need three beasts.”
I thought I should get at least an A-class armor set as soon as possible.
