TGMND 13

Thanks to the potion that increases experience by 500%, experience points were rapidly increasing with each dungeon run. Would it be possible to reach level 160 by the end of today? Considering the speed, party hunting seemed quite helpful.

It was a time when Yeo-woon was mindlessly picking up items while assessing the amount of experience remaining until he leveled up. He pressed the space bar without even checking what the item was, and a window appeared with a dazzling sound effect.

‘You have acquired the item [Rainbow Tulip Cradle (30 days)]. Do you want to reveal your character name on the server?’

When Yeo-woon clicked the confirmation button without thinking much about it, the fact that he had obtained the item became known throughout the server. When he opened the item window and looked at the items in the ‘Event’ column, he discovered that the Tulip Cradle was a vehicle item. It was a very useless item to him. He would have had it picked up if it had been a pet, but what does he do while riding a flower?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Wow

[Party] ParkRoach: What’s that? It seems like that item drops from hunting too.

[Party] Ji9star: Wow

However, the reactions of others were different from Yeo-woon’s thoughts. It seemed like a good item based on their responses. Soon enough, whispers started pouring in and the chat window was filled with yellow letters.

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 100 million

[Whisper] jqealqw22: Wow wow~~~

[Whisper] jqealqw22: Where did you get that??

[Whisper] jqealqw22: I’ve been digging in the Star Cradle for 5 hours since morning, and only one bead sandal came outㅡ

[Whisper] Cool cat: 150 million ㄱ

[Whisper] My dad: How much do you sell it for? If you want to sell it, please let me know and I will match the price@@@@@@

[Whisper] AmazingDealer: 700 million ssssssss

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 160 million

[Whisper] Cool Cat: Hey

[Whisper] Cool cat: Hey hey@@@@@@@!#$!#$!#!@@

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 190 million

[Whisper] Cool cat: Great deal! Immediate deal at 200 million ㄱ

He was completely distracted due to the chat window kept popping up before he even had time to read it. It was just a vehicle item, so he couldn’t understand why everyone was so eager. It wasn’t like there were no mount items available.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Is the tulip an attribute item? I haven’t seen it on the auction house…

[Party] ParkRoachae: Nope, it’s not an attribute item

[Party] ParkRoach: But there’s not much on the market hahaha. Even the 30-day one would go for 7-8 billion. If you put it on the auction house for 12 hours and ask for 10 billion, someone with a lot of money might buy it.

Oh, dear. There was a reason for the vast difference in the prices suggested through whispers. It seemed that it wasn’t a frequently dropped item, even though it was tradable.

[Party] neutaaaa: Is this really such a good item?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: It’s not that it’s good, but the tulip is pretty!

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah…

Well, if it’s pretty, that makes sense. He remembered regretting not starting a little earlier when he saw last year’s winter event items. The clothes sold at the fashion shop were useless in battles, but they sold like hotcakes because they were pretty. It seemed like the same concept.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Excuse me…

Suddenly, the chat color changed, and Ji9Star sent him a whisper.

“What’s up?”

Why did he suddenly whisper to him? While Yeo-woon was confused, Earth Star hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

[Whisper] Ji9star: If you’re going to sell it, will you sell it to me for 1 billion…?

[Whisper] Ji9star: I’m throwing away all my pride and asking…

Seeing him discreetly asking one-on-one, it seemed like he didn’t want his guildmates to know about this. Yeo-woon, who had no intention of accommodating his request, smiled and tapped the keyboard with his fingers to reply.

[Party] neutaaaa: The whisper is too small, so I can’t hear.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Huh?

[Party] ParkRoach: ??

[Whisper] Ji9star: No…

[Party] neutaaaa: I can’t hear you, whisper a little louder

[Whisper] Ji9star: …

[Party] ParkRoach: Did Ji9Star really send a whisper? Hahahaha

[Party] ParkRoach: No wonder he hasn’t been talking for a while Smh Smh(Shaking my head)…

[Party] ParkRoach: Hahahaha it’s hilarious;; I have to tell the other right now

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Did you really want that tulip so badly?? Hahahahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: Stop broadcasting, MeowMeow

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: I only sent one, and ParkRoach sent four chats

[Party] Ji9star: I will definitely take revenge someday

[Party] ParkRoach: Oh my, I’m so scared.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Oh my gosh, I’m so scared.

[Party] Ji9star: MeowMeow is acting a bit crazy.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: I just copied, but that person said something only to me

After picking up all the rewards and leaving the ant cave dungeon, they returned to the dark underground map.

‘The instant dungeon has been reset.’

[Party] Ji9star: I might develop ant aversion

[Party] ParkRoach: Look at you changing the subject because you’re embarrassed.

Earth Star reset the party login settings and showed signs of entering the portal again. Oops, it’s not time to enter yet. Before he disappeared, Yeo-woon quickly right-clicked on Earth Star and initiated a trade.

[Party] Ji9star: ? Why?

While asking what it was, Earth Star quickly pressed the trade acceptance button. When the trade window appeared, Yeo-woon dragged the tulip item into the trade window.

[Party] Ji9star: Oh, I don’t have money right now… I’ll go to the town and withdraw it right away!

[Party] neutaaaa: No

Earth Star canceled the deal without a second thought and immediately disappeared. As he suddenly disappeared in front of him, CatMeowMeowMeow and ParkRoach started urging Yeo-woon to raise the price.

Please double the price. Say that one 0 is missing. Say you won’t sell if he doesn’t bring the money. While the two were suggesting ways to squeeze every last penny from Earth Star, he reappeared with the money.

[Party] Ji9star: Shining Neuta-nim, I’m here >_<

Suddenly, the way he spoke and called him changed. This was the first time that the guy who used to call Yeo-woon ‘Hey’, ‘You’, or ‘Ya’ every day called him by a normal nickname.

‘Ji9Star has requested a trade.’

A transaction window appeared on the screen. When Yeo-woon dragged the tulip back to the item window, Earth Star began writing numbers into the transaction window. And as soon as the number ‘1,200,000,000’ appeared, Yeo-woon quickly right-clicked to retrieve the item and pressed the trade confirmation button.

‘The trade is complete.’

[Party] neutaaaa: Thx~^^

Checking the item window, Yeo-woon found himself suddenly rich overnight. Earth Star had promised 1 billion but added an extra 200 million.

[Party] Ji9star: Huh?

[Party] Ji9star: ???Huh??

[Party] ParkRoach: No way hahaha

Earth Star was confused when he found out late that he had been scammed. Seeing that he was silent for a while, it seemed like he was searching through the item window.

[Illusion tip!] When trading, be sure to double-check and then press the trade acceptance button!

At the right timing, a tip sentence appeared every 30 minutes on the server. Seeing it, Yeo-woon felt extremely happy.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Heh

[Whisper] Ji9star: I like you, so can you give me your contact information?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: What if I don’t like you, can I tell you to piss off?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Or I can give you my number, so you can call me haha.

[Whisper] Ji9star: I’ve never tried a blind date, but I’d like to see your face once

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Haha, I’m not interested…

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey, where do you live?

A faint smile appeared on Yeo-woon’s lips. This is the taste of scamming!

[Party] neutaaaa: This day finally come to me…

[Party] Ji9star: ?

[Party] neutaaaa: I guess heaven is blessing me like this because I live diligently every day.

[Party] Ji9star: Am I the heaven?

[Party] neutaaaa: Thank you, Mom and Dad

[Party] Ji9star: Am I your Dad?

[Party] ParkRoachae: Hahahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: How can you play with people’s hearts like this?

‘Ji9Star has requested a one-on-one combat (PVP). Will you accept?’

‘You have declined.’

[Party] Ji9star: Son of a b*tch, accept PVP when I say it nicely.

[Party] neutaaaa: You didn’t say it nicelyㅜㅜ

[Party] Ji9star: Accept the PVP♥

‘Ji9star has requested a one-on-one combat (PVP). Will you accept?’

‘You have declined.’

[Party] Ji9star: Accept the damn PVP ♥♥♥♥

[Party] neutaaaa: I’ll just sit quietly and share the story of becoming a chaebol

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Damn hahahahaha

One of them seems to be broadcasting in Poseidon’s guild chat. Chat messages from the server started pouring in.

[Server] ParkRoach: He got scammed for 1 billion won by a newbie and if it were me, I would quit the game haha.

[Server] Halloween Eggplant: I sincerely congratulate you on being scammed for the first time in your life^-^~

[Server] al0ha: Hahahahahaha

[Server] al0ha: Congrats haha

[Server] Captain Poseidon: Reap what you sow ^^

[Server] CatMeowMeowMeow: ☎i9★ Bank ♨ Interest-free loan ♣ Up to 1 billion ♨ 100% free

[Party] Ji9star: MeowMeow is acting like a bastard again.

The members of the Poseidon guild sincerely congratulated Earth Star on being scammed. It seemed like that guild genuinely enjoyed the misfortune of its members.

Even Poseidon’s guild master sent a whisper to Yeo-woon, saying, ‘Congratulations. It’s a sort of consolation reward! Haha,’ and even expressed liking. Yeo-woon felt all of his frustration wash away as he watched Earth Star wield his spear and pretend to hit his character.

I had a good time. With a relieved heart, Yeo-woon sent another trade request to Earth Star, who was running wild.

[Party] Ji9star: I won’t be fooled, I won’t accept the trade ㅗ

[Party] neutaaaa: Take it quickly, I’m going to take a shower and sleep now.

[Party] Ji9star: I’m not falling for it

[Party] Ji9star: I won’t be fooled.

[Party] Ji9star: But really…?

[Party] ParkRoach: Haha, it would be fun to become the guy who got ripped off for 2 billion won.

[Party] Ji9star: ㅡㅡ
