Chapter 935 – 935. Savior of the Academy
A large man approached Seong Ha-ri and Choi Jeong-hwa. She was dressed in a black suit and had a black fedora tucked into her head. She was over 2M tall and her body was three times that of Seong Ha-Ri.
“Welcome to Baengnyeong Island. This is Room 351 in charge of directions. Could you show me the invitation?”
The tall man bowed politely and spoke. No, to be precise, he is not a man. Its true identity was a golem made of rock and steel, not a living human.
“It is truly Baek Young-jik’s work. It’s a pretty good golem. I would like to buy one.”
Jeonghwa Choi said.
Baek Young-jik.
He is the chairman of Baekoh Group, which ranks 31st in the Korean business world, and the owner of the Korean black market.
An excellent puppeteer, he is the organizer of the Baengnyeong auction.
“You want to buy something like this? Are you weird?”
Choi Jeong-hwa was furious at Seong Ha-ri’s plaintive words.
“It’s because you don’t have eyes for things! At this level, you can deal with a C-class hero. Since it’s a golem, there’s no need to take care of human rights or anything else. Do you have a sense of how much this golem is worth now?”
“Well. I don’t think it’s even worth a handful.”
“… That’s what makes you unique.”
It was true that a C-class hero level golem was not very helpful against an A-class hero. Not to mention, Seongha-ri would not be able to withstand a single blow.
“Show me the invitation.”
The golem urged. The sensor under the fedora is dyed red. If you ignore it like this, you can feel the will to fight.
Choi Jeong-hwa and Seong Ha-ri took out cards from their arms.
A white card with no decorations. It is an invitation to the Baekryung auction and a wallet containing the money to be used at the auction.
Golem scanned the card and nodded his head. The red sensor returned to normal.
“Confirmed. We will guide you to the auction house. Please follow me.”
Seong Ha-ri and Choi Jeong-hwa followed the golem. I entered a building that looked like a warehouse, but there was an underground passage inside the warehouse. At the end of this underground passage, there will be an underground auction house.
Choi Jeong-hwa shouted at Seong Ha-ri so that the golem could not hear.
“Looks like you were looking forward to today. How many bullets did you bring?”
“Three.”
“… 30?”
“No, 3,000.”
The unit is, of course, billions.
Choi Jeong-hwa opened her mouth slightly. She almost let out an exclamation. If she is 300 billion, she is money that she cannot easily spend even herself.
“Recently, I heard that I have been working diligently with the association… I amassed quite a fortune. Why don’t you start a business with that money?”
“Well. I didn’t know how to run a business.”
“Your family runs a few businesses. Investing in the family is one way.”
“…….”
“What. Are you still not on good terms with your family? Then invest in our gold coin group. I’m just trying to set up a new company this time… Hey. Can’t you hear me?”
“Take no interest.”
Golem opened the door. Entering the room, they casually sat down on the sofa. It was a room with glass walls on both sides. There was a stage where the auction was going on in front, and around it was a glass room with the girls. It is already more than half full of guests.
The golem did not leave and waited quietly in front of the door.
“Why are you quarantined for no reason?”
Seongha-ri grumbled. She wouldn’t even have to wear a mask if the wall was blocked off and the auction was held.
“Well, the organizers also have some circumstances. If you block the wall and proceed with the auction remotely, you may not trust the product or there will be problems in the delivery process. However, if you show up without being quarantined, quarrels may arise between customers…. The Baengnyeong Auction House devised its own optimal method.”
“… Don’t you have a catalog or something? If it’s an auction house, shouldn’t it be necessary to provide information about the items to be exhibited?”
“No. It’s not an ordinary auction. Still, if you’re participating here, you’ll have at least a rough idea of what’s going on, right? You participated because you had something to aim for. Right?”
“…….”
Seongha-ri nodded her head. The biggest reason she participated in this auction house was because she needed something with the ability to unlock.
The Spirit King’s spell (SS) was eating away at her body. She still has the physical abilities of a class A hero, but it wouldn’t be strange if her physical abilities dropped to the level of a B class.
‘I can’t just do nothing and retire. I need to be fine to be a great source of strength for Eugene.’
She is not relieved that Eugene Sung is at her academy. Just a few days ago, Seong Yu-jin was attacked by an assassin disguised as her employee.
‘This rough world. I have to endure it as a mother.’
Even if you can’t completely heal the spirit king’s spell (SS), you need to soften it even a little. Because there is a limit to enduring with the elixir.
10 minutes before the start of the auction. A strange atmosphere permeated the hall.
“There are quite a few intrusive guys.”
Seongha-ri muttered annoyedly. The guys who are blatantly exploring this place. Those who look like villains. Those who hide their appearance suspiciously. There weren’t a couple of annoying guys.
“Relax, Seong Ha-ri. You promised me I will not make a fuss here.”
“… How do you know my impression when I’m wearing a mask?”
“Don’t I know your temper? Do nothing and focus on the auction.”
“I think so….”
Choi Jeong-hwa tilted her head. Seongha-ri has been watching the corner from earlier. She follows Seong Ha-ri’s gaze and looks at her corner.
Like themselves, two participants were sitting on the couch.
One was wearing a somewhat childish Power Ranger red mask, and the other was wearing a funny clown mask.
‘Room 217. …… Is the atmosphere normal? Looking at the corner, it doesn’t seem like he has a lot of money. I don’t know why Seongha-ri is interested. Does she know someone?’
Is it because the mask is not normal and looks childish? The atmosphere in room 217 seemed very light.
“Seong Ha-ri. What is it? Is there a problem over there?”
“… No. Something… It seems familiar. It must be because of my mood.”
The auction soon began.
•••
She was shown room 217.
Wearing a childish clown mask, I glanced at the golem standing in front of the door and sat comfortably on the sofa. Kim Chun-wu, wearing a Power Ranger red mask, sat on the sofa hesitantly.
“Hey, what is that mask? Take a look around. No one wears a mask like you.”
“Oh, no. I prepared it because you said you could prepare roughly. And what? I thought it would be an auction house with a lighter feel… It’s a much heavier atmosphere than I thought. And it seems very dangerous….”
Kim Chun-wu stood upright as if he was nervous.
“What are you doing.”
“… You mean there’s a mine somewhere here? I can’t be careless because I don’t know when and where Mine will reveal her true color.”
“At least not during the auction. Because they aren’t sick either. So relax your body a bit.”
“Okay….”
Chunwoo Kim sat down comfortably. Still, his nervous expression did not go away.
He was quietly waiting for the auction, and his gaze was felt.
Room 351.
It was a room where two women were sitting.
A wolf mask in jeans and a t-shirt, and a butterfly mask in a fancy dress.
I could tell just by looking at her body. Both will be stunning beauties. Especially the body of the wolf mask is very my taste. Her chest is large, her waist is narrow, and her pelvis is well developed. Okay. Like Seongha-ri.
‘…… It’ll be great.’
I don’t know if it’s another woman. How many times have you hugged Seong Ha-ri? Even if she is wearing a mask and clothes, you can tell them apart enough if you just see the outline of her body.
‘And those thighs are white jeans. Those are the jeans Seong Ha-ri often wore.’
Activates the Cheonan to see through the mask. Sung Hari was certain. She is also quite a beauty in the butterfly mask sitting next to him. I was curious about the identity of the butterfly mask.
‘Let’s remember the face for now.’
The auction soon began.
A masked host in a tuxedo held the auction from center stage.
“The first auction item is a blue drake egg. Blue Drake is a monster that is easy to tame and becomes a B-class monster when it grows. Feeding is simple. A suitable pork or beef is enough. The starting price of the auction starts at 1 billion won!”
The amount on the screen in the center of the stage began to rise rapidly.
“Yujin. Is that the auction price? Everyone else is sitting still, what are you doing?”
“There is a card payment machine on the armrest of the sofa. You insert your card into it and enter the auction amount. The armrests are covered with stoppers so you can’t see who is bidding at the auction.”
“Ah….”
Kim Cheon-wu swallowed his saliva. He was broke There was not even 5 million won, let alone 100 million won. As a mere commoner, he seemed burdened by the bidding amount that exceeded 2 billion won in less than a minute.
The auction continued, starting with the blue drake’s egg.
‘Fortunately, it’s the same as the original. There is no change in the auction items.’
In the original work, if you use a playable character with a lot of money like Hana Ryu, you can use the white spirit auction. There are several disadvantages, but the advantage of being able to start with powerful items from the beginning using the auction is that the difficulty of the game drops dramatically.
In addition, among the items in this auction, there are special easter eggs and items that shine later. There are three things I’m aiming for here.
“The next item for auction is the Black Rosario!”
It’s the first thing I was aiming for. The moderator displayed information about the auction on a screen in the room. You can see the appraisal and the dull appearance of Black Rosario.
“It looks like a cursed Rosario from the outside, but as you can see from the appraisal report, it’s an S-rank holy power amplification item! Just possessing this object is the protection of the gods. What is God’s protection! It’s an ability that prevents anything fatal to its owner! We have already completed the proof of effectiveness, so you can rest assured! It blocks curses, powerful blows, and even extreme poison! Having this would be very helpful!”
The moderator spat and said. As such, the Black Rosario was a great thing. In the original work, it is considered one of the best auxiliary items for a character who uses holy power.
“The starting price of the auction is 7 billion won!”
However, the heat of the auction was low.
『Black Rosario
Rank: S
Amplify the holy power.
Receive divine protection once a day.
Only those who use holy power can receive the effect of Black Rosario.』
Disadvantages of Black Rosario.
This is because only those who use holy power can use this Black Rosario. Even if it wasn’t for this limiting condition, it would be worth asking for at least 100 billion won.
“12 billion! 12 billion came out! Any more?!”
The number on the screen went up.
12.5 billion.
I smiled and pressed the 500 million additional button with my finger.
13 billion.
The amount keeps going up. Cheonwoo Kim, who was watching from the side, catches his breath and grabs my shoulder.
“Yu, Yujin. Do you have that much money Anyway, it’s over 10 billion! We have to stop here!”
“It’s okay. 13 billion is cheap. More than that, if you act conspicuously like that, you’ll find out you’re bidding.”
“Ugh!”
Kim Cheon-wu hardened as he felt the eyes pouring in from all directions. It was clumsy high school even if I pretended not to. Well, it didn’t matter.
“Kim Cheon-woo. There must be someone who is looking to kill us the most. Find him.”
“… I found that person. Room 60. He’s wearing a skull mask and staring at us like he’s going to kill us. Perhaps….”
“They’re demons, so keep an eye on them. It’s not going to happen, but there’s no chance of a mess.”
“…….”
Kim Cheon-woo became serious. He was a guy who was infinitely serious about things related to mines.
The bid amount was already over 33 billion won. It could be seen as a solo performance of me and the skull mask.
“Yujin. Are you really okay? What if the auction house asks for 33 billion won right away?”
“Nothing like that. The reason invitations are given by card in the first place is to pay at the same time as winning the bid. In other words, if there is no money in the card, you cannot bid.”
“… I see.”
Kim Cheon-woo said with a slightly detached face.
“But why is Mine aiming for Black Rosario? If it’s the effect of Black Rosario, Mine can’t even use it.”
