Grow With In-App Purchases

64. R hatched an egg (4)

“If this is the case, I should have received it as a by-product of monsters rather than gold.”

I think I now know that academy students shouldn’t be viewed purely as students.

I felt like I had to rethink what it meant for the aristocrats to monopolize all the wealth in the world.

‘Really, these guys have wealth beyond imagination.’

It was useless for me to be considerate of changing the price to suit each student’s circumstances.

“Is this enough for me to take care of?”

Being a student, I thought it was the feeling of living on tens of thousands of won a month, but it felt like realizing that there was a building.

Of course, I don’t think they would send me this riches for no reason.

‘I must have known that it was a product that became beads.’

Right now, the beads are tailored to a specific person, but you would think that if you process them well, you can increase their versatility.

If it’s an item that can be made money, and if it’s a kind of elixir that can improve your skills, isn’t it natural that the nobles’ eyes are turned upside down?

“Are you satisfied with the price I paid?”

just as expected.

A student wearing exceptionally shiny jewelry visited the general store.

In the meantime, I only saw the illustrations that came out of the lottery, but I didn’t know what kind of character it was because I didn’t look closely, but it seemed that the kid was a bit unlucky than I thought.

Kaka (SR), who had her bangs covered with hair gel, was talking with a confident expression.

“I gave you so many gold nuggets, there’s no way I wouldn’t be satisfied.”

“hahahaha, I thought you would. But you’re not satisfied with just one box, are you?”

“What if you’re not satisfied with that? Are you trying to give more?”

“As much as you like.”

Kaka continued with a confident expression.

“Please join hands with our family. I heard that you have supported the academy for a long time. I fully understand why you provide marbles to students. However, these marbles should not be provided only to students.”

It is a pity that beads are provided only to students.

In other words, it meant that he would try to do business with this marble.

“As you know, these marbles cover a lot of people.”

“This orb is not really needed in the academy. It is more needed for the soldiers who are fighting hard on the front lines right now.”

Among the R and SR levels, there are not only students.

There are characters that appear when you go to the battlefield later in the main scenario.

However, it was important that the number was not large compared to the students R and SR.

“The soldiers will pay more for the value of the marbles.”

Kaka was misunderstanding.

Colored orbs no longer give power to other beings once they have chosen a master.

So I thought it would be beneficial to show it to those who would pay better than to contact the students and make them choose.

‘I think that’s the right way to do business. Even if I were in business, I would have done that.’

But what can I do?

The owner of this bead had already been decided, and there was no way that the wave would match just because someone else touched the bead.

So, I had no choice but to refuse Kaka’s words that he would sell it on his own if he gave me the beads.

“Nonsense! Why are you rejecting the offer? The value of this orb is infinite. Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to end up benefiting only a few students?”

“It’s because they know what to do with these marbles. They’ll do all sorts of experiments with the marbles. To increase their versatility.”

And if you increase versatility, of course you will get money and sell it.

“Of course it should. This orb has great potential to save humanity. It’s only right that everyone benefits.”

I would like to do that too if I can.

“So. Why should I entrust something of such high value to someone I don’t even know?”

“!!”

The power contained in this orb is to be absorbed and benefited by everyone, and then sold to people.

It was a business that smelled like money.

Whichever aristocratic family you entrust, you will probably risk your life and death to experiment.

‘If I succeed, I’ll sit on the money cushion. If it is strengthened to 5 stars, the stats will rise a lot.’

The elixir is effective, but if you eat it frequently, the effect is halved.

On the other hand, beads are a different type from elixirs, so they can grow up to 5 stars unconditionally.

‘This is an unconditional business. He already noticed that and came looking for it.’

Nobles eat well and live well because they have the power to catch things that can make money and turn them into money.

Even though I have this marble in my hand, the reason why I can’t think of selling it like that nobleman is because I have no foundation.

‘Still, I can decide who to share this opportunity with.’

It’s up to me to choose a noble who can turn this into a lucrative business.

I’m the only one who can provide stuff.

In that respect, Kaka was a business partner I did not want to choose.

If you’re going to choose…

‘I should do it with SSR. Because they will help me more.’

What can Kaka do if he says he won’t do business with someone he’s not close with?

In the end, Kaka asked to think about it again and disappeared.

It seems that he will not give up for the time being and will continue to visit the general store.

It was necessary to make a deal with a family that couldn’t even make a sound in order to give him up.

“I can’t keep up with Ariando when I look inside the house.”

Then, no matter what anyone says, you have to choose Ariando’s family.

I am not a bird.

The problem is that I’m not that close with Ariando yet…

‘If you don’t have a friendship, you can build one.’

When is he going to run away?

It seemed that there was nothing I could do but wait for Ariando’s scenario to proceed.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Hmmm! Excuse me.”

“?”

A few days after the incident with Kaka (SR), it was said that there was an uproar over marbles at the academy.

The dean, not the student I had promised to come, visited my general store.

“Dean?”

“hello.”

In fact, I expected that Sensei would visit my general store at any time.

I heard that the academy was in an uproar over the beads the student council members took, but the teacher couldn’t stand still.

“I didn’t expect the dean to come.”

“hahahaha, I volunteered because I thought it would be better for me to come than to send the teacher.”

“Come up to the second floor. I think the second floor is better for conversation than here.”

Still, as the dean, I couldn’t greet him on the first floor and have a conversation with him like the students.

I took him upstairs and sat down at a table.

“Coffee? Tea?”

“Green tea is enough.”

Since the kids came so often, I only stocked up on juice, but when Rebecca and Sasha started to come in and out, I even stocked up on tea and coffee.

I don’t know how my house became like a hideout, but it was true that I had no place to go other than my house.

Hororok~

After drinking green tea, the dean’s smile softened.

“It tastes good.”

“Yes, sometimes we have picky customers.”

“The first floor is a general store, and the second floor is a living space. It looks well decorated.”

“It’s decorated simply enough to sleep roughly.”

After talking about the recent situation, the dean got to the main point.

“I heard about marbles from the students in the student council. Did you know that the academy isn’t even in trouble these days because of marbles?”

“I heard about it, but I didn’t think so many students would show interest.”

“These days, the frontline situation is not good, and children are naturally interested in growing up. In the meantime, the beads that give strength without risk must have been attractive.”

Sharp eyes that were completely different from when I went to the academy as a sponsor were shot at me.

“At that point, I had no choice but to confirm. Whether this bead really only delivers power to the students and has no side effects.”

“I fully understand. It must have been very suspicious.”

“If you’ll excuse me, can you tell me where you got these marbles from?”

As marbles have infinite possibilities, it would be very rude to ask where they came from.

I thought a lot about what kind of answer I should give if someone came and asked me, whether it be a teacher or a dean.

If I were to be honest and saved with this ability, I would have to honestly report the fact that I had awakened to the dean.

Currently, the only person who knows that I have awakened is Sasha.

I was going to tell Rebecca at least, but I didn’t like it very much for the dean to know about the awakening first when he hadn’t told her yet.

“I cannot say where the marbles came from, but I can assure you that they will not negatively affect the students.”

“Umm… that’s right. I’ve also confirmed that the beads have a safety device.”

Was there anything like that?

“Then, isn’t it proven that there is no problem?”

It was surprising, but he said it without showing off.

If there is a safety device, there is no problem, so there is no need to come to me and question me like this.

“The problem is that the unselected students will not be convinced of the marble’s choice.”

“Are students who are not selected a problem?”

“They might steal the orb and try to dismantle the safety device.”

“Is that possible?”

“It’s foolish. Mishandling the energy inside the orb will cause an explosion, and you may have had to take responsibility for the orb you kindly provided.”

I absolutely believe in the stability of the beads created by this ability.

But what if this orb enters an unspecified person and damages it in an extraordinary way?

“…..”

Even though I didn’t ask the student to take a knife and destroy the marble, there was a very high probability that I would be X’d in that I caused the explosion.

“I hope you do something like that…”

Looking at the dean’s determined expression, the words that he believed in the students could not come out of his throat.

“I’ll do it.”

“Yes, I will.”

“…..”

What kind of carelessness is this?

An eerie goose bump ran down the back of his neck and up to his forearms.
