Many people were harmed by the drop in the price of unicorn horns, but surprisingly, no one paid attention except those who were directly affected.
The reason was simple.
The seasoning using snow white fruit swallowed up all those issues.
Such a seasoning, known only to those in the know, spread by word of mouth, and now it is not only in Korea, but also in countries that have D-class dungeons and succeed in killing giant gorillas to save snow white fruit. it spread
Even sweets, when the craze blows, there’s a shortage of supplies, so there’s a riot.
Even in the case of me, it was even more so because I piled them up without distributing them to the market.
Thanks to this, the price of Beksul fruit went up to the ceiling, and there was a situation where it was not possible to get it even after paying more.
“… Daehyun didn’t have to worry.”
I was worried that Dae-hyeon would steal the Beksul fruit, but even Kim Dae-hyeon, who was smart enough, had a hard time finding the Beksul fruit.
In this situation, some wealthy people even hire hunters who can enter Yongin dungeon to obtain snow white fruit.
Fortunately, there is a guild of Jeongin, so they constantly secure a certain amount.
Anyway, when people came out like this, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which was merely recommending abstaining from eating in principle, fell on fire, hastily analyzed the ingredients of snow white fruit and at the same time issued a strong recommendation to refrain from eating.
“When will it be banned?”
I don’t know the exact time.
All I know is that depending on the amount taken, the symptoms develop quickly.
No matter how much I collect now, the most important thing in the end is a steady supply.
I plan to create a black market and induce the hunters to secretly bring them out, but that amount is not enough.
“Boiled, dried… and powdered…”
A series of processes for making snow white fruit powder.
I said with my eyes shining.
“What if I do this in a dungeon?”
Snow white fruit is the size of a fist, so it is very difficult to hide it.
However, if the fruit is made into powder, it is indistinguishable from sugar.
That’s why it’s made as a seasoning in the dungeon and brought out.
It is self-evident which of the two is the higher difficulty, hiding the powder or hiding the fruit.
“This is fine.”
okay.
It’s about making an outpost in Yongin Dungeon and turning it into a secret seasoning factory.
Of course there is a problem.
Is it possible that a monster does not know the taste of the fruit?
Especially in the case of boss monsters, it would be easy to break through the coarse wall of the outpost.
They need defense against them.
“If you install a large number of traps outside the outpost, it will have some effect, but it won’t stop the monsters created inside the outpost.”
In other words, hunters are needed to keep the seasoning factory inside the dungeon 24 hours a day.
It also sleeps alternately and at the same time cannot hunt, only guarding the factory.
It’s enough money to pay more than when hunting and get the seasoning price higher than that.
Then my eyes turned to the computer monitor and a smile spread across my lips.
“Drug bastards. gamblers.”
The time has come to use the material you have been quietly collecting.
The reason the gangsters collapsed is because a hunter who is more overwhelming than them has appeared.
If so, wouldn’t it be a neat solution if the gang was composed of hunters instead of ordinary people?
The so-called Snow White Seasoning Distribution Hunter Organization.
No one else can control them.
But I, who owns the Jeongin Guild, is different.
After organizing my thoughts, I immediately picked up my phone and called Jae-Jin Lee.
-Yes. president.
“uh. Jaejin. Nothing else…”
I said with a smile.
“I need to make a forward base in Yongin dungeon as well.”
Watching the forward base being built by porters, one of the guild members of the Jeongin Guild said with a puzzled expression.
“Is there a need for a forward base in Yongin Dungeon?”
Yongin dungeon allows for leisurely hunting unlike other dungeons because it is a vast grassland, so it is easy to move around, and it has not yet explored only the realm of giant gorillas, and the number of hunters is small.
In such a Yongin dungeon, the advance base was still premature.
“Besides, this place is a bit out of the way.”
It was no wonder that the guild members were puzzled by the fact that a hill, which is rare in the grassland, was selected as the location for the forward base construction.
It seems unnecessary and less accessible.
At the words of the guild member, a colleague laughed and said.
“Who knows what’s inside. Say it quietly so that the guild leader doesn’t hear it. Again, this is the boss’s order. It’s not like this.”
“Is that right?”
“We just have to watch good things and eat rice cakes.”
A colleague tapped the weapon on his waist and said.
“Honestly, the guild leader is right. I have never suffered any loss by following the instructions of CEO Jung.”
A weapon made of gorilla bones was hung from the waist of his comrade.
Originally, bones were almost impossible to make into weapons, but the bones of the boss monster, Gorilla, were different.
The strength and properties of bone are closer to metal than bone.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that it can be used like real metal, like melting bones and making castings, but that it can be weaponized through processing.
Starting with the first gorilla hunting, the Jungin Guild, which has already subjugated giant gorillas 10 times, is now armed with equipment made from gorilla skins and bones.
With such weapons equipped and hunting giant gorillas, the skills of the guild have been upgraded to the extent that they can attack the lower body of a giant gorilla without explosives and then deal with it.
“It is. Who says what? I was just curious.”
While everyone was concentrating on the taste of the white snow fruit, Jung-in started moving step by step while preparing for the illegal future.
about a month.
It was a period of snow-white fruit craze.
And at the same time, it was the time when the side effects of beksul fruit were known.
“Did you find out later than expected?”
Even now, it is expensive to buy and eat the white snow fruit.
As a result, the rich would not have felt the side effects as they continued to sprinkle the berries on all their food, and those who were not sure about the money consumed it in small amounts because it was too expensive, so the side effects were known late.
Anyway, through the news, people were informed that eating more than a certain amount of berries of white snow would paralyze the taste buds.
Of course, whether it is a temporary phenomenon or other factors has not been revealed yet, but it is a common symptom found in people who have consumed snow white fruit.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Now is the beginning.”
“What? Does this make you paralyzed?”
Chairman Noh Won-gu said with a bewildered expression.
“What nonsense is that? Does it taste good?”
said the chef with a pale expression.
“that. It is said that if you eat it without Beksul seasoning, your taste buds will be dulled.”
Chairman Nowon-gu’s eyebrows twitched.
“Is it on the news?”
“Yes.”
After tasting the taste of Beksul fruit, Chairman Nowon-gu sprinkled seasoning on all food and ate it.
Even if you eat one cookie, there is a big difference between sprinkled or not, so it is a natural choice for Chairman Nowon-gu, who has a strong appetite and values taste.
Chairman Nowon-koo said, carefully picking up a cookie.
“Your sense of taste … is slowing down?”
And for the first time, Chairman Nowon-gu put the sweets in his mouth without seasoning.
Chairman Noh Won-goo, who was silently chewing cookies, muttered quietly as he spat out the cookies he had been chewing on the plate in front of him.
“I can’t feel the taste…”
Chairman Noh Won-koo, who has already lost his sense of taste.
Seeing this, the chef knelt down and said.
“I’m really sorry! President! I really didn’t know!!!”
“her···”
For Chairman Noh Won-gu, who lives with the pleasure of eating, the loss of taste was like losing the biggest driving force in life.
Chairman Noh Won-gu again sprinkled seasoning on the cookie and put it in his mouth.
“ah···”
The taste of sweet confectionery and the fantastic taste of seasonings that you can feel again.
The chef continued to shake his head.
“I shouldn’t have recommended it then… I’m sorry!”
Chairman Noh Won-koo, who was silent for a moment at the chef’s words, said:
“That’s not a problem. I am rather grateful to you. If I had died not knowing this taste, I would have become a han.”
“···Yes?”
Chairman Noh Won-koo is a self-made founder and founder of a company large enough to be ranked in the business world.
No matter how old he was, he gave up his place to his children, but it was easy to see what kind of ripple effect this would have.
“Snow-white Samoa by any means right now.”
The chef said with a puzzled expression.
“President. Stop consuming seasonings and watch the situation…”
Then, Chairman Nowon-gu shouted and said:
“Do you want me to eat those irresistible foods again? You can never do that! If I didn’t know, I’d rather just die now than live longing for this taste until I die!!”
Chairman Nowon-gu said with his eyes wide open.
“Now fruit Samoa. Before hand in government. It doesn’t matter how much it costs.”
If you take the fruit of Beksul Beksul for a long time, your taste will be dulled and eventually disappear.
And there is still no precedent for the return of the lost taste.
When this fact was revealed, the Republic of Korea was turned upside down.
“Of course it should be banned!”
Since it is such an expensive snow white fruit, ordinary citizens who have never tasted it, naturally shouted against it.
“If I secretly sprinkle it on in a restaurant, my taste buds won’t go away! Absolutely against!”
On the other hand, the wealthy who had a lot of money and tasted the snow white fruit supported the limited distribution.
The problem is that I can’t express it openly.
This is because the former number is overwhelmingly large and Korea is a democratic country.
I called Rep. Yeo Jin-moo, a member of the Dangjin constituency, to find out the situation.
– This is Jin-moo Yeo.
“Woman, Senator. This is Jung In-soo.”
-Ah… CEO Jung.
Yeo Jin-moo said in a tired voice.
-CEO Jung also… did you call because of the snow white fruit?
I said with a smile.
“It’s like that.”
-···I think I’ve already said it dozens of times just today.
It was obvious what the rich could choose, who couldn’t express their support openly.
So I called too.
– I can’t stop this. It is absolutely impossible to license food that is harmful to the body. The majority of the people support the ban, and it would be a formidable headwind if we put it here.
I know it well.
But the purpose of the call was different from other people.
I’d rather be illegal.
That way, you can sell it at a much higher price with an illegal premium.
I just wonder when that time is.
“I know. So when do you think it will be banned?”
– As it is a matter directly related to public health, it will probably be banned in the near future.
“okay. Thanks for telling me.”
-ah. Come to think of it, CEO Jeong was the first to collect the Beksul Fruit, right?
“Yes.”
– Then you should have some stock. As a member of the National Assembly, I’m not talking about it, but some of my gifts have been asking if I can get them.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“sorry. Since these are consumables that go into the mouth, I don’t have much left in stock.”
-···All right. There is nothing I can do about it
After finishing the call, I said with my eyes shining.
“Perfect.”
The moment when the illegally branded and market-spreading stock runs out.
then it moves
In the end, the distribution and consumption of snow white fruit was prohibited.
While making snow white fruit illegal by presidential decree, the government further strengthened the checkpoints in Yongin dungeon and threatened that if hunters brought snow white fruit, they would immediately seize it, destroy it, and punish the hunter.
Of course, even after doing so, some hunters were caught trying to smuggle it out, and Korea suffered from the side effects of scattering beksul berries.
And the same goes for the rich.
They tried to buy them before they were banned, but the competition became so fierce that in the end, virtually none of them had secured enough.
Therefore, they ate as little as possible in the amount they secured, but eventually consumer goods tend to disappear.
The rich missed the taste of snow white fruit and were driven to the brink of going crazy.
If you just can’t taste it, you have to be patient and put up with it, but most of them have already lost all taste.
No matter how much the world’s delicacies were put in, the lost taste did not come back, and it is the same no matter how time passes.
Then then.
A secret rumor began to circulate among the rich.
Rumor has it that someone is secretly selling a small amount of snow white seasoning somewhere.
And that’s where the rumors point to.
It was a Dangjin dungeon city.
