Chapter 320 – Gold Rush (2)
Rouge is quite smart, but I am not an economist or a professional stock investor.
If he were a person who could make wise decisions in that direction, he wouldn’t have made such a big deal about F.A.O in the first place.
In the first place, what idiot would be mad at a game with no ceiling?
Unless the money is really rotten and overflowing, the game’s currency is a cryptocurrency, or you can make a living with that game.
Is it the consumption lifestyle of a financially wise person to easily pay for a car when it has no value other than cultivating and growing electronic bonsai and flowers?
Absolutely not.
Unless the money is overflowing.
‘But now it’s overflowing?’
We have already done a lot of magic stone farming using myth stones, and now we are planning to accumulate a lot of gold.
In that case, now is the time to unravel the long-standing problem that has been lingering for a long time, and which seemed like it would ruin the people of Fermaton while thinking about how to further lead the people of the empire to ruin.
“While I talk to Nero, each of you can hunt freely.”
“If a female comes out, all I have to do is report it to the Count right away?”
“Don’t get hurt. At least two people in a group, go out alone and tell them that if you don’t make it down to the 40th floor, you will be abandoned.”
“Yes!”
Perhaps because even undead have the taste of cutting flesh, Celica excitedly ordered the other knights to ‘hunt in groups of two’.
Although it is the 40th floor, the boss room is in front, but there is no way our vigilant knights will get hurt.
“Aren’t you guys going hunting?”
“I think it would be better to listen to the Count’s story rather than hunt.”
“Well, whatever you say.”
Some go hunting, while others sit at the base camp in front of the boss room.
“Then, Lord Lambert, you also have to say about the continent’s economy… “
“I will listen with a study mind.”
There are quite a few people who say they just want to listen, as if they don’t have the confidence to participate in the conversation.
I guess he was a little impressed by my mention of something a little different – modern cheats such as printing presses and banknote reform.
I wonder if there’s something new about seeing someone who only screams about sex from morning till bed show such a new side.
“Tell me more about the ‘casino business’.”
“I am only talking about this as a way to bring about the downfall of the empire, but let me make it clear that I was never thinking about it just for sex. Do you understand, Nero?”
“Of course, Count. I haven’t thought about anything else. Is there anyone as sound and sincere as you?”
“…”
It feels like I’m being treated unfairly, but it’s still better than being treated unfairly.
“I once visited the casino in Permaten.”
Casinos already exist in this world.
Dressing Laura in bunny girl clothes in the first place was only possible because the casino existed, and I was one of the casino’s regular customers.
“And I studied a method that was much more vicious than the current casino and could lead to human destruction, and I tried to use it to create a new casino over there on Yas Island.”
“You meant to?”
“Yes. I made a plan, prepared a place to build a casino, and scouted talented people among the existing casino staff, but due to two factors, I put the plan on hold for a while.”
I spread two fingers.
“One is that there is no suitable person to be the manager of the casino.”
“…What kind of casino are you trying to build?”
“A place where people can be ruined by gambling.”
Gambling that is on a different level from the ‘frivolous’ things that are spread around the world, such as poker, blackjack, and roulette.
“Gacha.”
“Gacha?”
“Yes. It’s a word I made up. Gacha.”
Just as I suffered from the character draw gacha in PO.A.O, I tried to let everyone in this world know about the fear of gacha.
“Laura told me that this is too dangerous. If we make a mistake, we could put everyone in Permaten at risk.”
“Miss Laura, do you know what gacha is?”
“Hmm… I learned something after talking seriously with the Count.”
We talked while having sex, and Laura immediately grasped the reality of the gacha even though I only spilled it.
“It’s a gamble that leaves everything to ‘luck,’ and that’s what drives people crazy.”
“To what extent can one go crazy…”
“The number of people living homeless in front of casinos and committing suicide due to gambling addiction will increase? About 7 times more than in current casinos?”
“…That would definitely be dangerous.”
Everyone already knows the dangers of casinos.
The reason such a casino is in Permaten is not only because it is the main stage of the game, but also because it requires a story background to obtain characters related to the casino.
This is because the labyrinth city was an appropriate place for adventurers to enjoy luxury and pleasure.
“If you create a gacha casino, the people of Permatton will suffer a lot, but the people of the Empire will suffer more than that. Why? Because this gold will be used there.”
“Gold…”
“The people of Fermaton will mainly use Lugecoin, and the people of the kingdom will use the kingdom’s own currency, so there is no problem. But what will the people of the empire take with them when they return to the empire? They will take all gold.”
If you bring 100 gold and win 1 million gold, wouldn’t everyone be crazy about gambling?
“Unearned income. A huge amount of money won through luck. A turnaround in life. The value of labor will plummet, and everyone will be looking for a shot at life.”
Even if you win a huge amount of money with a probability of 0.019%.
“And take it to the empire? Well, if you impose a lot of taxes on gold obtained from foreign countries, of course dissatisfaction will build up in the empire, and faith in the country will be shaken.”
It is human nature to blame the country when investments and gambling fail, and to blame it on one’s own ability when it succeeds.
“…Let’s go up and talk about this later. I think it’s time.”
The promised time has come.
Everyone gathered in front of the boss room on time, and no one was hurt.
“Let’s go.”
Sigh.
Open the door to the boss room.
It was a very familiar place to me, and a familiar space to everyone.
“This is…”
“It’s the central square of Fermaten Castle.”
A place where every time I give a speech to the residents, I bring golems with me and shout.
A place where you take Laura and sit her on a bench in front of the fountain, then set up a barrier to inhibit her perception and enjoy outdoor sex.
A place where people in the Permaten Castle can hear the voices of people speaking at the fountain in the square even if they come out just a little bit.
There, currently, an undead whose entire body is decorated with brilliant gold is standing holding a golden staff.
“That is…”
“Does it seem different from the boss on the 40th floor?”
“Yes. Just undead knights came out…”
Celica and other Payoen knights were wary of the new type of boss, but they also had an appetite.
“I have to be careful. No matter how I look at it, it looks like it’s a wizard type.”
“I see. Well, priests are of the mage class.”
“Yes?”
“Look over there.”
I pointed to the head of the ornately decorated golden undead.
“Most people who wear hats like that are priests or people like that.”
“A priest who became undead?”
“I guess it was like that in the old days. Priests of the religious order preached sermons in the square.”
It is a scene that is rarely seen in this world, especially in this labyrinth city.
“Maybe that’s the motif. Judging from his behavior, he doesn’t seem to be a priest who is faithful to God, but rather a man who became corrupted while pursuing the golden god.”
“…Perhaps. Will a huge amount of gold come out of that person too?”
“Well, you have to attack to find out.”
No.
Only I know the true nature of the Golden Undead.
In the end, the boss is a monster that pours out magic stones.
In the current hard labyrinth situation where all rewards are replaced with ‘magic stones’, the only thing that can now be a ‘gimmick’ can intervene in reality.
“It looks like you were full of greed in your past life, but doesn’t it seem like gold flows instead of blood?”
“…Hoo.”
“Celica. My sword. Although it is undead, it allows cutting without mercy.”
“…!!”
Celica is surprised, and everyone looks at her with envious eyes.
“Don’t leave this to you.”
I stretched my hand forward, released the ‘Myth Stone’ that was in my body, and handed it to Celica.
Although my body has become slightly heavier, I have continued to train my body even after removing Shinhwaseok, so I have not lost any muscle or anything like that.
And that won’t last.
“I order the other knights. Watch Celica’s attack carefully, and try to challenge her next time you have the chance.”
“Ah… “
“It’s only the 40th floor anyway. We’ll let everyone do their best from the 41st floor, so give Celica a chance now.”
“That’s okay, but… “
Everyone’s eyes are focused on the sword that Celica creates by infusing her magic power.
“Ah, this cool and heavy feeling…”
The sword that Celica created was a blade that sparkled with magic from the handle to the tip of the blade.
It’s a bit hard to call it a Japanese sword, but should I say it’s something like a long sword that generals during the Joseon Dynasty would have used?
No matter what form it takes, the sword of the myth stone created by Celica is the power that makes the already strong woman even stronger-
“Count. I will do my best. Thank you for trusting me.”
Celica is looking at me with a very expectant face, as it is proof of her that she trusts and entrusts me with the mythological stone that is as precious as her life.
“Then… Master, give me instructions.”
“Just one.”
I raised my index finger and pointed at the undead lich.
“Bera.”
“…Ha!”
Celica jumped forward.
With the assistance of her fellow wizards, she ran like lightning and cut off the fallen priest’s arm in an instant.
Pushuuut!!
The arm of the undead corrupted priest is torn apart and flies away.
And.
“I knew I would be like that.”
From the cut arm of the undead corrupted priest, gold coins began to pour like a fountain.
“Celica!”
Gimmick.
“Cut and dismember until you get sick of it!”
It is.
“As you wish!!”
Part destruction.
P.A.O players called the boss of 40 [Hard] ‘Mazo Honey Bucket’.
Any game.
There is a farming place where you can earn large amounts of gold.
That’s it here.
