SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 24

Making money strategically (1)

“Crazy.”

Armor acquisition quest. And the first sealed weapon’s stats. Lokan’s expression went blank for a moment when he saw them.

These abilities are only sealed

No matter how you look at it, it was an item that could be obtained at least level 100, or level 150, and there was no restriction on wearing it. Even if you wear that one without any other armor, it would be comparable to or higher than the total defense of any warrior series.

“It would have been like this… … .”

Come to think of it, the person who cleared this quest was quite famous even though he wasn’t very good at control. I don’t know how many parts he had saved, including the Sealed Helmet of the Lion King, but looking at them, it was clear that it was a Tempal.

“The problem is that there is no hint, but… … .”

There was no way to know where and how to get the rest of the parts, but Lokan wasn’t too concerned. Because there’s no way he couldn’t do what he did.

However, what I was interested in was whether the set effect would be exhibited without collecting all the parts. When it comes to set items, the feature is that the set effect is gradually strengthened according to the number of worn parts.

“Anyway, it exceeded my expectations.”

[The Hero’s Trial has ended.][The Lion King’s weapons have the power to attract each other. You can tell by getting close to other weapons.][Instant dungeon ‘Lion King’s Tomb’ will disappear.][Moves outside after a while. 5, 4, 3… … .]

While Lokan admired his system, his system worked hard. The door he opened by pointing at the wall seemed to be the entrance to the Instant Dungeon.

After a while, I wondered if the surroundings would change to particles of light, and Rokhan’s body was forcibly moved to the outside.

* * *

The place where Lokan returned was the square where he first met the statue of the Lion King.

“Is it the square again?”

That was then.

blah blah blah blah blah!

“What damage!”

With good timing, the statue collapsed on its own as soon as Lokan returned to the square.

But no one doubted Lokan. For he was not one of those who returned to the village with the light.

It was just like the effect that occurs when you use the return scroll, so it just looked like the statue collapsed on its own.

‘Is the next ‘messenger of love’?

Either way, Rokhan was just thinking of the next plan.

The next goal is a continuous quest starting with the delivery of a love letter. In this quest, which you can receive after raising your reputation to [Friendliness], it was only after completing 12 small delivery quests that the main characters of the love letter confirmed their love for each other.

‘Oh, my stomach explodes.’

But the problem is that the woman already has a fiance.

In fact, it wasn’t even a fiancée, it was only the extent of getting married recently. If you want to intervene, you can intervene, but the problem was that the man didn’t see much of it.It’s not that I can’t make a living for myself, but her family was among the most wealthy among commoners, and the man who got married was a person of a similar level.

Because of this, the two loved each other, but the opposition in the family was fierce.

At the very least, there are so many questions about the subject where both of them are commoners.

The conclusion was to force the marriage to the man who had come to marry. The woman could not afford to disappoint her family’s expectations.

As she left the man in tears, the woman left her a present with her last letter.

[Tear Emerald Necklace] [Magic]

A necklace made of emeralds that resembles a woman’s tears. She felt longing for her loved one and wishing for well-being.

-Hemostasis effect

-Base health regeneration +50%

-All healing effects +20%

“Is it really okay if I take it?”

But the man only read the letter and said he would not accept a gift. If there is, it is likely that she will suffer from her sense of self-doubt without forgetting her forever. He said he might be tempted to sell it as he may have to buy it on his own and it will take years or even decades to live.

Thanks to that, it became Lokan’s.

‘It’s good, but… … .’

The effect of the teardrop emerald necklace was amazing. It was unbelievable that it was only a magic grade item. It was good enough to keep using it until I got the ‘Elf’s Tears Necklace’, which is a higher compatibility.

In particular, it was not an exaggeration to say that it is an item that boasts the highest efficiency for Lokan, who needs to rapidly raise his/her health within 5 seconds due to the aftereffects of Berserk. It was attractive enough to wear this necklace without thinking about other items, even if the item with the same effect was not a necklace in any other form.

But the mouth wrote.

“Huh, living here or in real life is the same thing.”

In fact, even Lokan didn’t know the story after this. There were stories that this man succeeded by clenching his teeth, there were stories that he committed suicide because he couldn’t stand her shabby self, and there were stories that he regretted her whole life by marrying someone in moderation to forget her.

It was because the person who cleared the quest did not reveal the story behind this man even though it appeared as a story in the game broadcast and left everyone bitter.

So Rokhan only wanted him not to make an extreme choice. It would be nice to see more, but unfortunately he didn’t have the time either.

“Busy, busy.”

Instead of following the man, Lokan moved on to the next quest.

There were a lot of things planned at first, but because of the title effect, the reputation was [Friendly] from the beginning, so all the quests for reputation work jumped.

Instead, [Friendliness] or higher reputation quests that can be obtained from the net exhaust quests were all covered.

Quests that give a good reward, a lot of experience, or a small but useful title. Lokan chose only those quests and solved them.

Among them, there were quite a few things that could only be done once, such as a love letter quest.

Some had already been resolved, but Lokan was able to clear most of the things he had planned for the first time.

“Good.”

Thanks to this, he spent three full days working as a solver, but the results were satisfactory. As a quest reward, the level was raised by one, and the main stats were also increased by 10 or more as a title effect.

Moreover, it was not at all a loss because it also obtained useful special effects such as increased resistance.

However, it seemed that Lokan wasn’t the only one who was busy. I sighed and opened my ears to hear all sorts of news.

“I heard that someone has already reached level 70”

“Level 70 is aegyo. I heard there is also level 80.”

“Awesome, I envy dogs. When am I going to hit level 50?”

“So, do ‘Daksa’. How many birds do you catch and they spread? Because of you, we can’t even hunt for a long time.”

“Ah, where was it because of me yesterday? It’s because of those damn PK bastards.”

“Hey, who doesn’t clean up those bastards? Every day I’m in deficit because I’m dying and running away, it’s a deficit.”

How many levels did someone hit, what kind of job tree is trending, what kind of item is on the auction house and it’s a jackpot. So much information has flowed in that it is not necessary to visit the bulletin board.

‘Soon, I’ll have to speed up too.’

Picking up the news, Lokan once again strengthened his will to fight. His level-up speed is also phenomenal, but the speed of Koreans’ ‘Gwangrep Optimization’ is recognized worldwide.

In order to preempt the big things in the future, it seemed necessary to increase the level-up speed a little more.

Still, there was one reason that Lokan had not yet left the village.

‘I think the time has come… … .’

Because the update he remembers took place around this time.

I can’t remember the exact time and date, so I stay in the city and wait.

‘I can’t be a yangban.’

And then, a new notice appeared.

[Notice 1. The guild system has been updated.][As of this time, you can create a guild by purchasing ‘Guild Stones’. Guild Stones can be destroyed by attack, so please install them in a safe place or pay a certain fee to the Guild Management Office.][Notice 2. Housing system has been updated.][As of this time, you can buy an empty house in the city or buy real estate and build your own house. When you own a house, you have to pay a certain amount of tax every month, and if you are overdue for more than 3 months, the house may be auctioned off or automatically demolished.][Notice 3. Some items have been added. List of additional items: Contracts, silk bandages, hair dye… … .]

“Ah, finally.”

It was an update of the guild system. It is no longer that they join a guild and wander around together, but can receive official recognition from the system.

“Children, you’re going to be cold.”

Lokan smiled, confirming that he was not different from what he knew. He already knows how much the ‘Guild Stone’ will cost.

The price of a scroll that can summon a guild stone was a whopping 50 gold. As the amount was too large to just play with the guild, there was a high probability that those who were in the middle would disband and join the guild that was created first.

“The MP Guild is going to burn a little bit”

Coincidentally, it was the same as the amount of money he earned from selling the secret dungeon, so there was a lot of laughter.

Of course, I had no intention of creating a one-man guild at this point, but it was fun to watch other people’s high school students.

However, there was a lot of interest in the content of the second update. It’s a ‘housing system’. There was only one future that could be brought about by the update of the system, which could buy or rent an empty house in the city, or buy a new house by buying only land.

Real estate prices are skyrocketing!

Although the supply is limited, the demand will continue to increase, so it cannot be sold without raising the price.“Investment is also real estate.”

For that reason, Lokan immediately went to the auction house and collected the proceeds from the sale of the auctioned items. Since they were items that were inevitably popular, the decision to sell them had already been made.

[Holding amount: 65 gold 32 silver 63 cooper]

A whopping 65 gold! The current market price is 200,000 won for 1 gold, so even if converted into cash, it was a whopping 13 million won, but Lokan felt infinitely insufficient.

This is because what he is going to do from now on will cost a huge amount of money beyond that.

* * *

Lokan, who had raised as much money as possible, found the executioner in the estate faster than anyone else. And he announced his intention to contract the vacant house.

“I want to sign a house contract.”

“What kind of house and in what form do you want to contract?”

“I want to see three-room houses and two-story houses as much as possible. We hope that the contract will be a long-term rental.”

Interestingly, it is a rental, not a purchase.

Simply put, it was the difference between a sale and a monthly rent. You can have your own house, but it doesn’t have to be through purchase.

It wasn’t something that ordinary users would know about the situation where the housing system had just been updated, but Lokan was an exception.

’65 Gold. It’s close, but if you can get ahead, you’ll just sit back and make money.’

Lokan, who followed the bailiff to the vacant houses in the city, was satisfied and announced his intention to proceed with the contract. The terms of the contract, as mentioned at the beginning, were long-term rentals.

Instead of paying a monthly rental fee for a year, it was a method of obtaining temporary ownership of the house. In addition, the first contractor included the privilege of being the preferred negotiator after the contract period was over.

“great. But… … You’re going to sign a contract for all of this.”

But the number was surprising. As long-term rentals were made, the monthly rental fee was reduced to some extent, but even so, the monthly rental fee was the minimum gold unit. A three-room house was 4 gold and a two-story house was 5 gold, so even if you sign ten houses, it will cost you 40-50 gold.

However, there were fifteen houses that Lokan photographed. Ten three-room houses and five two-story houses. In fact, it was safe to say that all of the three-room houses and two-story houses on the tree were for sale.

It was a big contract that cost 65 gold just in time, so the bailiff was surprised and checked it again.

“Yes, please do everything.”

“great. Instead, the first month’s rental must be paid in advance.”

At Rokhan’s resolute words, the executioner did not ask any further questions. Instead, I paid the rental fee in advance. In addition, the fee is up to 32 silver and 50 cooper. Thanks to that, Rokhan became a real beggar.

[Holding amount: 13 Cooper]

“Heh heh heh!”

But he only laughed like a man who had lost his mind about what was good.

“I’m not sure if I should just trade twice as lightly. Still, you should get three times as much. … ”

Lokan was thinking of selling the right to his long-term leased house back to the guilds. Right now, they are only focused on buying guild stones, but after purchasing guild stones, they will most likely pay attention to the house.

Not knowing that the guild house was the power of the guild and the law meant power. To store extra items and guild stones left in the inventory in the absence of a warehouse, the shape was lost and the single room was too small.

In the end, they have no choice but to rent a three-room house or two-story house that Lokan occupied.

Real estate speculation strategy to eat other people’s money with other people’s land!

It was the moment when the goose that laid the golden eggs came into Lokan’s hands.
