I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel chapter 18

18 – Jackpot hit

Should I buy a lottery ticket or not?

After thinking for a moment, I turned my head to Yuri.

In this case, it is definitely better to ask the experienced person.

“What do you think?”

“Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to buy one.”

A surprisingly positive answer came back.

“Anyway, this is luck. If you fail, you’ll learn a lesson never to trust the doom shop and this fucking hat again.”

“Hmm! Hmm!”

…….Somehow, those words seem full of selfishness.

Yuri seems to have a lot of grudge against the destroyed store.

I don’t know what happened in my previous life.

“Then give me one.”

“Guut! An excellent choice!”

The hatter snapped his fingers and a lottery ticket fell in front of me.

If you scratch it, money seems to come out there.

“Whoops, I really want a minus to come out. And that too for a huge amount.”

“Aren’t you being too blatant with customers?”

“hahahaha! I have to make up for my losses in this way so that I can live on too!”

Anyway, this is luck.

Whether it’s a plus or a minus, the odds are half and half.

If it’s the key, it’s rather how much money.

‘Still, there is such a thing as novel probabilities. There must be a huge amount written on it, right?’

I boldly scratched the lottery ticket.

Soon after, the numbers came out clearly.

[Congratulations! I won the lottery!]

[2360 Coin Plus!]

“This, such nonsense!!”

The hat seller was shocked and grabbed the hat with both hands.

I didn’t know how to close my gaping mouth.

Of course, that was a good enough number.

A whopping 2360 coins.

The ‘yellow cat shoes’ I bought earlier were 2022 coins.

Even after paying the price, the change remains.

“Oh, this is nonsense! Nonsense! There is a degree of being lucky! How can this amount be!”

The Hatter’s astonished expression.

When I saw that, I realized how great this was.

I looked up at the sky and thanked them.

‘thank you. I don’t know who gave me this kind of luck.’

To be honest, it was a lottery ticket I bought with my main money.

I never imagined that such a big hit would happen.

If I hadn’t bought it, I would have been unable to sleep today.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“I know. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

It was not only the hatter who was surprised.

Except for Hyena.

Even the reincarnated Yuri was admiring the amount.

“Keugh! This really makes no sense. What is your true identity? How can people be so lucky?”

“Even if you ask me what… … .”

They’re just plain extras.

By the way, I see the comments of the work.

“No matter how high a coin is in a lottery ticket, there is no case of exceeding 1,000 coins. More than 2000 coins are coming out. I really can’t believe it.”

When I heard the story, it seemed that the odds were really dire.

It’s really amazing.

This novel is not kind to extras.

‘Did the writer make a mistake?’

Anyway, good luck to me.

Conversely, the hatter was shedding bloody tears.

“Ah, it’s a loss to hand over ‘Yellow Cat Shoes’ for only 2000 coins. I thought I’d return the value as it is… … .”

“It’s okay, so please settle the bill quickly.”

As I brushed it off, the hatter’s eyes flashed.

“Customer, buy one more.”

“Am I crazy?”

Do you pour the money you earned from gambling back into gambling?

It is a shortcut to ruin.

“Ha, it can’t be like this. It can’t be like this… … .”

The hatter complained, but inserted the coin.

Having more money made me feel better.

“Hyuyu, ladies, do you have something more real?”

“Oh, then I’ll wait a minute.”

Hyena talked to the hatter and bought something.

I looked it up and it was poisonous.

“hehehe, is this the same as before?”

The first weapon Hye-na chose was a ‘poison dagger’.

If you use it once, the effect disappears.

As long as there is poison, it seems that the skill will reappear.

The poison itself is cheap and quite reasonable.

“Would that be better than any other weapon?”

“I saw you write before and it looked good. Hmmm, I was just thinking about swords too…but too much blood… … .”

I understand what you mean.

Seeing people’s throats cut right in front of them is repulsive.

“I could buy you that much.”

“Ah, okay! I don’t want to lend a hand to something like this.”

Anyway, that’s how the first shopping ended.

Yuri spent all his money on buying the ‘Essence of Life’.

Because Hyena doesn’t have that many coins in the first place.

“hahahaha…then did you buy all the items?”

“for a moment.”

Before the Hatter was about to return.

Yuri called him.

“How much does an A-class Life Essence cost?”

“hahahaha! You are so obsessed with the essence of life! You seem to like him quite a bit, don’t you?”

“…….”

“Oops, excuse me! I beg you, please take your life.”

The man spoke slyly and stroked his chin.

“In conclusion, the A-class life essence is currently 10,000 coins.”

“Ten thousand?!”

Surprised, I asked again.

An amount that cannot be paid even if you defeat both the mid-boss and the regional boss.

It was outrageously expensive.

“In the beginning, there was nothing I could do. It’s an elixir that can save even dying people when it’s the A-class essence of life.”

Well, even the ‘cat shoes’ I’m wearing are B-class items.

Is A-rank that much of a fraudulent item?

“Especially, the other world lacks vitality itself, so it has no choice but to be more expensive. Not to mention the world tree, even the saintess hasn’t awakened yet.”

“……Would you use a credit card or an IOU?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that to people who don’t know when they will die.”

It sounds a bit rude, but it’s true.

This is a world that is perishing in real time.

Because no one can guarantee survival.

“If you wait a few months, coins will accumulate enough and the price will go down.”

Yuri glanced at me.

Then he shook his head left and right.

“Then it’s too late.”

“Hmm, this is very difficult. I don’t want to miss a good customer either.”

The hatter stroked his chin.

He smiled as if he had a good idea.

“Then let’s do this.”

“Do you have any good ideas?”

“Are you going to the museum now?”

At that, Hyena tilted her head.

“How do you know?”

“Whoops, the owner of the perish shop is a source of information.”

As a merchant, do you have any special abilities?

Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re an NPC in the first place.

“In fact, there is a letter in that museum that I have been looking for for a long time.”

“Is there such a thing in an ordinary museum?”

“hahahaha! Please don’t ask too much detail. It is a trade secret.”

The hatter laughed slyly.

Looking at it, it didn’t seem like he would tell me even if I asked.

“To be honest, I want to go find it myself. At this point, if we interfere with the world, there will be restrictions.”

“Restrictions?”

“Shall we say that the power is suppressed? If you don’t call me like this, you won’t be able to appear in front of others.”

The hatter let out a sigh.

“If it weren’t for that, I would be able to sell D-class Life Essence to a person being chased by zombies for several times the price.”

“It’s garbage.”

“hahahaha! Because I am a merchant!”

The hat seller continued, adjusting his hat.

“Anyway, I’m in a situation where I can’t bring the thing. So, if you bring it to me, I will exchange it for an A-class life essence. How is it?”

As soon as the hatter finished his words, a message appeared in front of his eyes.

＜Quest＞

Type: Special

Difficulty: D

Contents

-Bring the old letter from the museum to the Hatter.

reward

-Class A Life Essence

penalty

-If you open the letter without permission, it will be considered as a quest failure.

‘Quests happen this way too.’

I can’t believe I can even receive quests from NPCs.

It also feels like a game.

Could it be that the author was influenced by game fantasy?

‘Uhm, it’s not uncommon for works that have been well serialized to suddenly drift.’

If you are a writer who puts NTR in pure love, I want to cut your head off.

Any development like this is welcome.

‘Besides, the conditions themselves aren’t bad either.’

In the first place, I was thinking of going to the museum to find artifacts.

You can think of it as a side job.

Besides, there are no penalties whatsoever.

Even if you can’t find it, it’s just a shame.

If there is a problem, is it that the conditions are too good?

“Are you giving me an item worth 10,000 coins just to bring you a letter? Isn’t there some kind of trap hidden there?”

Hye-na also made a suspicious expression at Yuri’s words.

“You’re not going to cheat, are you?”

“Oh no! Even the hatter will be punished if he disobeys the conditions of the quest!”

The hat seller made excuses while waving his hands.

However, the expression on the two faces was not easily resolved.

In particular, Yuri was glancing at me with a very distressed expression on her face.

“If that’s the case, I’ll do the quest alone, not the two of you… … .”

“Let’s try it.”

I cut off Yuri in the middle.

“Once you try it, if you feel like you can’t do it, you can give up. Yes?”

“Off Calls! I promise you that it doesn’t matter if you give up the quest at any time.”

“Did you hear?”

After thinking about my words for a while, Yuri eventually nodded.

“i get it. But don’t do anything dangerous.”

So let’s all agree on the quest.

A message floated before us.

[You have accepted the quest.]

[According to the pre-conditions, you can abandon the quest at any time if you wish.]

‘Honestly, I’m more curious about the contents of the letter than the reward.’

Although I covet the A-class Life Essence.

It’s not that much of a necessary item.

However, it is a letter that the merchant NPC especially wants to find.

It smelled like it was related to the story.

“Thank you for using it. It was a transaction that made my heart tremble for the first time in a while. Then good luck to you!”

After saying that, the hatter disappeared.

When I opened the shop, I received an unexpected quest.

“Then shall we go soon?”

“Yes, it would be better to hurry if possible.”

After checking our luggage, we got into the car.

Each bag was filled with daily necessities and food.

“Can we leave?”

“Yes, please drive safely.”

“Anyway.”

The car Hyena was driving moved smoothly.

The destination was, of course, a museum.
