There are many ways to make money
Of course, of course, all quests have their own characteristics that differentiate them from other quests.
There are dozens of worldviews such as fantasy, martial arts, fusion, ancient, modern, sci-fi, and steampunk, and there are hundreds of cases to be solved, such as survival, murder, escape, reasoning, disaster, and disaster, so the client is in a desperate situation. All quests were inevitably different except for the fact that they were in the .
[No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m the main character] Quests also had different characteristics from other quests.
It was a situation in which a person living an ordinary life, which is common in other worlds, is dragged into another dimension by a transcendent being.
This was the reason Yooseong chose this quest despite its B+ rating.
‘A situation so obvious that anyone who has read genre novels can recall it even with their eyes closed. Of course, there’s no way that reality and novels will be the same, but I can take some reference.’
Being able to roughly predict situations and developments, if not precisely, was a huge advantage.
It was because he was able to plan ahead and enter the quest.
‘There’s something different than expected, so half of the plan will have to be scrapped… … The other half is enough.’
Impersonating a manager was just the beginning.
Yoosung bought a set of clothes, leather shoes, and a few other things at a general store.
Not modern clothes, but rugged clothes and rugged leather shoes that exude a medieval European feel.
Yooseong, who sneaked out behind the building to avoid being noticed by people, dropped the items he had just bought on the ground and began to stomp on them with his feet.
incomprehensible behavior.
However, as if Yoosung wasn’t satisfied with that alone, he even tore off his clothes and shoes with force.
It took less than a minute for the perfectly fine clothes to become rags.
“I think the clothes are good enough… … .”
Yuseong, who took off the clothes he was wearing and changed into dirty clothes, then started camouflage.
Her neat hair was tousled into a mess, and she made large fake scars on her face with items she bought at the general store, or she applied glue around her eyes and skin to distort her skin.
Finally, after smearing soot all over the body and rolling on the floor a few times, a great beggar was born.
It wasn’t an elaborate camouflage, but since the purpose was to fool people for a moment anyway, this was enough.
‘Now, shall we go?’
Yuseong, who escaped from the building in the absence of people, walked slowly along the street dragging one leg.
“What is that?”
“You look like a resident by the clothes you wear… … . But were there people like that? I don’t think I saw you yesterday?”
People regarded Yuseong as a member of the village.
Since it had only been a day, no one had figured out everything that was in the village, and unlike the people who were still wearing modern clothes, Yuseong was dressed from head to toe in rugged clothes that medieval Europeans would wear, just like the villagers. to be.
Yoosung roamed the village at a constant speed, pretending not to notice the gaze directed at him.
And the moment the meteor passed the location with the most people, the meteor gave the promised signal.
“… … excuse me.”
A boy in the way.
Yooseong said in a voice that was so low that it was impossible to guess his original voice.
“What?”
“I called because I thought I needed help. It’s not much, but you can have a meal with this.”
A small commotion erupted around.
Because what the boy took out was a golden coin.
1 gold.
It wasn’t a large amount, but it wasn’t enough money to give to a beggar.
But what happened after that was even more shocking.
“huh! Whose nose are you going to put this on?”
Clink!
Yoosung threw the coin the boy gave him on the floor.
A small commotion broke out over ownership of the misplaced coin, but no one paid attention to the fight.
In the current situation, it was surprising that the boy who received 1 gold was amazing, but it was also surprising that he was throwing away that money.
The boy, who looked at the meteor with a puzzled expression, took out more coins from his pocket.
“Is 3 gold enough?”
Clink!
“5 gold?”
Clink!
“… … 10 gold.”
“I’ll barely be able to put it in my mouth. It’s hard to say in return, but I’ll give you some information that might be helpful.”
Yooseong whispered something in the boy’s ear so that the people around him could not hear.
Then the boy tilted his head.
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
“I made it clear. Whether you get it or not depends on what you do.”
Yuseong left the spot without looking back, leaving only those words.
– Are you really okay with this?
‘Oh, this is enough.’
After escaping from people’s eyes, Yooseong quickly erased his makeup, changed into his original clothes, and left the village.
I had to spend a lot of time, effort, and a lot of money for a short play, but I knew that it would come back dozens or hundreds of times soon, so it didn’t feel like a waste at all.
Yooseong also hunted wolves on the second day.
If you want to catch a monster, you can catch it, but then you have to get away from the village, so you have no choice.
Yuseong stopped by the village in the middle of the hunt to check the mood of the people and intervene appropriately.
Even if it was an intervention, it wasn’t that great.
It was just to keep reminding the story of the story of the beggar and the boy and to expand the story little by little so that the topic would not move elsewhere.
The third day I greeted like that.
The seeds sown by Yuseong must have had the effect of careful care, and they germinated wonderfully.
“You, you, what is that?”
“Can’t you see? This is a sword, this is a shield, this is… … .”
“Who do you know as an idiot? Not that! Where the hell did you get that equipment from?”
The boy, who had only been carrying wooden weapons the day before, is fully armed.
If it was cheap, I would understand somehow, but that is not the case.
A sword with a subtle blue tinge, a shield covered with iron plates engraved with flame patterns, and leather armor with a black sheen.
Even among those currently in the lead, few people were equipped with this level of equipment, so people’s shock was bound to increase.
“Um, should I tell you or not?”
The boy, who had been waiting for a while, barely opened his mouth to the people’s intense stares.
“Do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“If it happened yesterday… … Are you talking about that beggar?”
“Yes. That beggar told me. Did you mean that the treasure is hidden where the three trees meet when the sun is at its highest?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I also wanted to say some nonsense at first. Still, 10 gold was a waste, so I looked around the village just in case, and accidentally found the place the beggar said.”
A spot where the shadows of three trees overlap.
When the boy said he found a pocket full of gold coins after digging with the idea that he had to earn money, people made a puzzled expression.
It was an unbelievable story, but since there is a living witness in front of me, I can’t help but believe it.
‘No, why is this an unbelievable story?’
Compared to their current situation, it is nothing to tell them where the treasure is.
Why, isn’t it a situation that often appears in novels and comics, such as Hidden Pisces and Giyeon?
People were frantic to find beggars.
And the people’s excitement reached its peak and just before it exploded, the beggar they were looking for so much appeared.
“Hmmmm. It’s not much, but please accept it.”
A well-mannered young man hit the ball.
Yooseong, who checked the contents of the pocket, put his mouth to the young man’s ear and whispered in a small voice.
“The treasure is hidden under the third largest rock in the forest where the wolves dwell.”
It was 100% pure bullshit.
In the first place, it’s a treasure, and it’s ridiculous to find the third largest rock in the forest.
However, the young man withdrew from his seat with a serious expression as if he had heard a great secret, followed immediately by a middle-aged man wearing glasses holding out a bag of gold coins.
‘This is a complete waste of money.’
It didn’t feel like a waste to invest all of his fortune in fitting the boy’s equipment.
Only 100 gold.
It took less than 5 minutes to get the money back.
However, Yuseong was still not satisfied.
10 gold is the lowest amount ever.
If you have only one instrument, you can earn more than tens of times in an instant.
And that opportunity came much faster than expected.
“It’s too vague, can you give me more details?”
“You’re asking too much for only 10 gold.”
The woman who appeared to be a college student smiled strangely and handed over another bag of gold coins, and Yooseong gave a little more detailed information than what he had just told me.
Of course, since the information itself was false, it didn’t matter whether it was detailed or not, but the female college student nodded her head in agreement.
Of course, there was no way that those who saw it would just pay 10 gold and withdraw.
There were also people who paid twice as much as the basics, or more than ten times as much in severe cases.
Ordinary people couldn’t have that much money, so it meant that even those in the forefront were swept away by Meteor’s scam.
“More details.”
Yooseong, who took the pocket that Park Seo-joon held out, desperately held on to his expression as he tried to loosen up, spoke plausible words while imagining a northern area he had never been to.
As a result, Yuseong earned a total of 20,000 gold on the 3rd day, and on the following 4th day, he earned 30,000 gold, more than the previous day.
It was an incident that happened when those who couldn’t find the treasure paid more money the next day to get more detailed information.
‘I’ll have to stop at this point.’
It makes no sense that a thousand people, perhaps one day, could not find a single treasure after wandering around for two days.
I thought about giving some people the right amount of money like the boy I used as bait and pretending to have found a treasure, but I decided to give up because there were so many people who knew the secret that it wouldn’t be good.
“There are many ways to make money other than this, but there is no need to take risks.”
If you collect all the pieces, you can spread a rumor that an item of a great grade will appear, scatter the pieces of an item that only looks plausible, or you can corner the items and manipulate the market price at will.
‘I have to collect as much money as possible.’
It wasn’t just to buy expensive items and skills.
If your pocket gets thicker, it means that your competitors’ pockets get lighter.
If that happens, the purchasing power will naturally decrease, and the potential for growth will also greatly decrease.
“If you can’t go up, just bring the people above down.”
Yooseong looked out the window and smiled.
People wandering around town with bloodshot eyes looking for themselves.
There were still more than 10 days left until the end of the preliminary stage.
In the meantime, I couldn’t help but wonder how far I could rise and how far others could fall.
this is not a game
