16 – World 11. Trade (1)
“Now, tell me in detail.”
Karina came closer to me and demanded an explanation with a face tinged with urgency.
“You can literally move objects around using your subspace abilities.”
“Sub-space…”
After hearing the subspace story from me, the regressor woman showed serious contemplation.
It was probably thinking about how to utilize my subspace.
So let’s wait quietly, and the woman spoke again after a while.
“Didn’t you ask for help there a while ago?”
“I have made an offer.”
By the way, this woman turned away saying she needed time to think.
I had no intention of blaming her, but my answer made the woman’s complexion slightly darken.
“Is that… is it still valid?”
“There is something we can help each other with, so there’s no reason to say no.”
The regressor in front would need my subspace abilities, and I needed the regressor’s information, experience, and help.
He had no intention of fighting for nothing.
The regressor woman also let out a sigh of relief, perhaps realizing my intentions.
Then, unlike before, his nervous impression spread a little brightly and he reached out his hand to me.
“I am Karina. I wish you well in the future.”
“You can call me Lee Sung-min.”
“Yes, Mr. Lee Seong-min.”
Carina, who finally made a statement, moved her gaze and spoke to Hayden.
“Mr Hayden. Can I stay here with the conditions I talked about earlier?”
“Looking at it, it seems like the two of you know enough to know… Do what you like.”
Hayden easily agreed, having inferred the situation to some extent from my conversation with Karina.
I asked Karina on behalf of Hayden.
“Are you going to stay here?”
“How is this place?”
“I don’t know, but isn’t District 4 hard to live in?”
In addition, the android in the back was also bothered.
From Hayden’s point of view, the price of Android is quite high.
When I thought of the people living like beggars in District 4, it didn’t seem strange to show greed.
But Karina said it didn’t matter.
“it’s okay. And staying here will help me in many ways.”
Is there a corner that you believe in?
It was Karina who answered quite confidently.
Also, perhaps because I was staring at her, Karina told me what she believed.
“I have a lot of money after all.”
“ah.”
money.
credits.
It was definitely important.
Because I was also thinking about how to make money.
Not only that, but thinking about it now, Karina’s android was an escort android worth 4 million credits.
Maybe I was worried for nothing.
“Rather than that, there is something I want to share about future plans.”
Karina tried to get things done as quickly as possible, but before that, Hayden raised her hand to dissuade her.
“Tell the story later. I have to eat now.”
“······If it’s rice, there’s a dish I made for you, right?”
“It’s a snack.”
At the word snack, Karina looked at Hayden with an absurd look.
I thought I would have to cook first, so I headed to the kitchen with no choice.

299th floor of Mallburton Tower, District 1.
A spacious living room that is likely to be 150 pyeong and a place where specially manufactured products that are difficult for ordinary people to see are splendidly placed.
In such a living room, a woman was staring blankly out the window.
Outside the window, there was a clear sky that I thought I wouldn’t be able to see here anymore.
Even though I was looking at it with my own eyes right now, it felt unreal, like a dream, and I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
Also, five cats, each with a different color, looked up at the sky at the feet of the woman who was staring blankly.
pod-
Then, at some point, a large screen made of holograms appeared on one side of the wall.
On the screen, a man who appeared to be in his 40s reported with an expressionless, businesslike attitude.
– Miss Ayla. The video was captured with a drone.
“Show me.”
-Yes.
As soon as he finished answering, the man’s figure disappeared from the screen and another image appeared instead.
It was a video taken at a place on the outskirts of Mallverton City.
In the video, a large whirlwind appears and moves to the other side of the city, engulfing the fog of death.
The whirlwind seemed to move for a while, and then it gathered together as if it were compressing the sucked fog of death into one place.
In the fog of death that came together afterwards, a bead-like flame surrounded and burned up.
“…”
No matter how you look at it, it was not a natural phenomenon.
Read from noble mtl dot com
Did the player do it?
However, there was no way the player could exert such power.
It was enough to clear the fog in a radius of 2 to 300 km, including the city.
With that kind of power, it would have been enough to wipe out the monsters that periodically attacked from other dimensions.
That’s why it was difficult to see it as something done by common sense, but…
‘There is no need to be bound by common sense.’
Normal common sense wasn’t needed from the time a monster popped out of a portal and turned the world into this.
Therefore, Ayla judged that it was someone’s fault.
And.
‘If someone did it, it would definitely be in this city.’
I had to find it.
Thinking that far, Ayla spoke to the screen.
“Find out who or what caused this phenomenon. Even if you release all the waiting drones.”
-Yes, I understand.
When I gave the command, the hologram screen itself disappeared with a short reply.
Ayla stared at the disappearing screen for a moment, then turned her head and looked out the window at the sky.
Maybe this will be the last sky I can see.

“Oh, it’s delicious.”
After taking a bite of the omurice I made, Karina said with a surprised expression.
When Heiden asked to eat first, he seemed stunned inside, but as soon as he took a bite, his attitude changed.
Well, it must be that delicious.
For reference, Hayden and Ren were just playing with spoons quickly without saying a word.
After eating omurice with the two of them, I spoke to Karina, who was still admiring it.
“What are your future plans?”
“Oh, the plan? First, we will buy food and donate it to the other dimension temple. You have to choose a job first.”
It reminded me of the fact that I have to pay a donation when choosing a job.
However, seeing that food was mentioned, it seemed that it did not have to be money.
“It’s a job…”
but.
Even I thought it would be better to get a job quickly.
In other dimensions, I couldn’t use anything other than my game abilities.
It was necessary to grow by acquiring something.
‘It wouldn’t be difficult if I could donate food again.’
Currently, there is indeed an enormous amount of food in my space.
It seemed that getting a job would be simple if I moved it separately and brought it to the temple.
Thinking that far, I spoke to Karina, who was still eating omurice with a worried expression.
“I’ll take care of the food with what I have.”
“The one that Mr. Lee Seong-min has?”
“Please use that money to buy something else instead.”
I’ve been thinking about something since Karina said a while ago that she had a lot of money.
So when I asked for a deal, Karina tilted her head while pursed her lips.
“Tell me.”
“Well. Connectors… can you buy me about 50 of them?”
“…”
At my request, not only Karina, but also Hayden and Ren, who were eating hard next to me, stopped their spoons and looked at me.
what?
Karina then asked again with a very confused expression.
“Are there 50 connectors? Are you kidding?”
“How much is it usually for one?”
“It’s around 200,000 credits now, when the price has skyrocketed.”
200,000 credits?
It was 200 million won in Korean currency.
‘Expensive, but expensive.’
It was a price that was difficult for ordinary people to afford.
Moreover, what if there are 50 connectors at that price?
’10 million credits.’
10 billion in Hanwha.
That was more than enough to buy the two Androids now standing behind Carina.
Of course, I had no conscience even thinking about asking for that kind of money for a little bit of food.
‘Then should I shorten it a bit and compromise with 20s?’
Anyway, Karina, who answered me, let out a small sigh.
“To be honest, I don’t have that much money. The problem is quantity. But why do you need 50 connectors?”
“Well. I thought it would be nice to let other people connect as well.”
Karina frowned slightly as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
On the other hand, Hayden talked about that part, perhaps reminding me of the fact that I came from another dimension, and that I am passing again.
“Looks like you liked the interface. But without a biometric ID, most of the features are unavailable.”
“Ah, there was that problem too.”
“You don’t have to think hard about it.”
Hayden was confident in any good way.
“If you don’t have to think hard…”
“If you are simply using an item, you can forge your biometric ID. Of course, you have to take the risk of being caught.”
At that time, Karina went against it.
“That doesn’t work. There’s a high chance you’ll get caught. Besides, after being caught, he becomes a criminal without fail.”
“Isn’t it fine if you don’t get caught?”
However, listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that there was no way for me to receive a biometric ID normally.
Anyway, Carina, who objected to Hayden’s words, spoke to me with a slightly complicated face.
“But I think it will be difficult with 50 connectors. As I said before, there won’t be that much stock.”
“If you have a lot of money, wouldn’t it be okay to pay more and buy it?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to decide in a mutually beneficial way if possible?”
mutually beneficial directions.
It was said that food was not enough.
So after thinking for a while, I opened the subspace and took out a game item.
“Then let’s sell this item.”
You probably won’t be able to refuse.
