Chapter 78 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
Even if it was an empire, it could not punish Yeonhwa. It is not included in Ozone, but that is because it does not belong to Yeonhwa.
Even if all of Ozone, currently representing Orbital World, gathered together and could win against Yeonhwa, it was impossible to restrain her.
… No, considering the uniqueness of the Heavenly Demon’s magic that she handles, there is even a possibility that she could be defeated against Yeonhwa if the entire Ozone attack her.
In that sense, even the Empire, which only owns the Ghosts and Sword Saints among the Ozone, has no choice but to sit back and watch if Yeonhwa decides to do something wrong.
So, as Yeonhwa said, it wasn’t wrong that she didn’t really need her money.
If Yeonhwa were to immediately give up what she wanted by force, the empire would have to bow down and give it up.
“No, there is no need to overthrow the empire. You can make as much money as you want by just breaking through a few dungeons that you say are absolutely self-sufficient.”
In fact, just by breaking through the Absolute Self-Sufficiency dungeon and selling the magic ore you get, you could make as much money as a big city’s monthly budget.
In other words, for Yeonhwa, money was something she could earn at any time, so she did not need to be concerned about money.
“That is why I have never paid much attention to money in my life. But today, when I saw you walking around with me and readily paying various bills on my behalf, I suddenly became curious.”
At first, Yeonhwa took it for granted that Eugene would pay various amounts on her behalf.
However, even she did not feel sorry for Eugene at all and was curious to see him spend money.
“You said you knew about future possibilities, right? When I remembered that fact, a thought suddenly occurred to me. “I wonder if I could make money if I use that future knowledge.”
For example, as a means of investment. In this case, basic funds were needed, but Eugene was able to obtain the basic funds by selling magic stones as an adventurer.
As such, if it has been a little less than a month since Eugene was able to raise her basic funds in earnest, she wonders if Eugene may have saved more money than she thought. Yeonhwa had this thought.
“… “You’re not trying to take it away, are you?”
“… “Do you want to get hit?”
“I’m just kidding, I’m kidding.”
As I said, Yeonhwa could make as much money as she wanted. So, even if Eugene made a lot of money with future knowledge, she couldn’t be greedy about it.
She was just curious as to how much money Eugene, who suddenly had knowledge of the future, would have made through it.
Eugene also knew this, so after making a joke, he mentioned the money he had saved as Eugene, not as Stral.
“I don’t know the exact amount because I have my investment money spread out here and there, but if I were to just calculate the amount I can manage right now, I think I would have saved around 10 billion won?”
“… “Isn’t that almost the annual budget of a large city?”
And when Yujin returned, Yeonhwa was honestly and slightly shocked at the fact that she had accumulated far more goods than she had imagined.
“Knowledge of the future is definitely good. “I can’t believe that I could save 1/100th of all the money I saved through all the hardships I had while on Earth in just one month by signing a few autographs.”
“1 in 100… ? So, does that mean that when you were on Earth, your wealth was 1 trillion won? No, before that the exchange rate was the same as that of this world?”
“Please consider that I roughly converted the exchange rate issue on my own.”
To be exact, since the original Orbital World was a Korean game, Earth’s exchange rate and Orbital World’s exchange rate felt similar, but since it was troublesome to explain, Eugene lied and said that he roughly converted it himself.
Fortunately, Yeonhwa was able to overlook the lie, perhaps because she wasn’t using the human sword.
“1 trillion may seem like a lot, but I was one of the top 10 talented people on Earth? “The government was offering tens of billions of dollars just for the subjugation fee for Lee Mae-mangyang, who was an absolutely self-sufficient demon?”
Well, at the time, Eugene was at the highest level of a superhuman, but even so, all kinds of things that were harmful to humans and monsters, to the extent that a subjugation amount of that level was suggested, were problems that the government also had to solve.
“In that sense, since I was so obsessed with revenge in the first place that I didn’t spend any money and just saved it, wouldn’t it be possible to have about 1 trillion?”
Right now, modern Korea’s annual budget is in the hundreds of trillions, but it’s around 1 trillion… , Was Eugene’s feeling.
“Hmm… , So does this mean that if this government decides to do so, it can extort tens of trillions of trillions from the empire?”
The problem was that from Eugene’s statement, Yeonhwa, who was obviously stronger than Eugene on Earth, inferred the amount that could be converted to her current force.
“If you do that, you might end up being branded as an official of the continent, so don’t do that, right?”
“In the first place, even when I was in the martial arts world, I was a credit to the continent?”
“You don’t really need money…”
“Well, for now, yes.”
Even as she said that, Yeonhwa looked at Eugene with a meaningful look and said something meaningful about what might happen in the future.
He seemed to now vaguely understand the meaning of that gaze, so he changed the topic again.
“… Whatever it is, knowledge of the future is definitely convenient. “On Earth, I had to risk my life to exterminate monsters and monsters, but I could earn it with just a few strokes of my finger.”
“So, where do you plan to use that 10 billion won?”
Yujin opened her mouth to the question that Yeonhwa, who had learned that at least Yujin no longer had anything to worry about with money, asked purely out of curiosity.
“… Originally, I was planning on using it to save the world.”
There were many hidden pieces that could be obtained if you had the money, and there was also information that could be obtained with money.
“If I decide to prevent the destruction of the world, I plan to form an intelligence organization first.”
“Otherwise?”
“… Well, wouldn’t we use it to play tangja tangja like when we were on Earth?”
It wasn’t difficult to make money because I had knowledge of the future, or more precisely, knowledge of the original game.
In the original, no matter how many choices the game had, it was impossible to invest as you wanted due to the system.
In the first place, the protagonist has to be busy at the academy, targeting heroines and growing through the RPG parts, so where is the time to play investment games? Should I say that it feels like this?
However, in reality, where there is more freedom than the game, Eugene can invest as much as he wants with the information he knows through original knowledge.
This is a case where the differences between the game and reality were applied to the advantage, and thanks to this, Eugene was able to increase the millions of won he earned by selling magic stones to a whopping 10 billion won in just one month.
Should we say that it was a time when, thanks to the level of civilization that was close to the modern era, corporate organizations called stock companies, that is, corporate organizations that attracted external investors, began to appear in droves, making it possible to make money at a level that was possible?
“But you’re saying you’re going to use that money to play?”
“Even when I was on Earth, I was stuck at home with a fortune of close to 1 trillion won and only spent it on having fun. Well…”
Well, I was saying that horses are used for play, but if I had a purpose in life other than salvation, I would invest the money I had saved to achieve that purpose.
“So, if you think about it, your wealth of 1 trillion won also evaporated into thin air when you became possessed by the body of that Stral guy?”
“That’s right. “I’m not the type of person who is particularly obsessed with money, but when I think about it, I feel like I want to file a claim for damages from the guy who possessed me.”
If you are going to possess someone, at least give them something commensurate with the property you own! In this way.
Eugene thought that it would have been more convenient if they had at least converted his assets to match the prices here.
“Well, isn’t it enough to make money? “It seems like you are already earning what you deserve with the knowledge you have about the future.”
“It’s because there are limits to making money this way. Just the fact that I’ve made an investment right now will start to break away from the future I know…”
Besides that, it wasn’t like a fast-growing company was just rolling around like a stone on the side of the road.
Even the types of things Eugene knows are limited to companies that are even mentioned in the original work, so making money this way will eventually reach its limit.
“Kkeuk, don’t they say money brings money? “If you have already accumulated that much wealth, you will not have any money problems in the future as long as you invest appropriately.”
“Well…”
I hadn’t made a decision yet, but if I eventually started spending money for salvation, there were many ways to put money aside from setting up an intelligence organization.
When Eugene was laughing bitterly at the future where he would end up struggling for money if that happened, Yeonhwa changed the topic.
“If you don’t have enough money, this office will take care of it, so you don’t have to worry. “If it were the Earth where you lived in the first place, then in Moorim, where I originally lived, or in this Orbital World, the money is earned by the woman who is the head of the household.”
So, Yeonhwa said that if Yujin becomes in need of money, she doesn’t have to worry because she will feed him.
For some reason, that remark sounded like she was treating Eugene as a family member that she had to feed, but since she felt that mentioning it for no reason would only embarrass her, Eugene just ignores it.
“More than that, if I had the chance, I wanted to ask about the person you faced during your practical exam today.”
“Hmm, do you mean Moon Ae-ri?”
Instead, when Yujin mentioned the name of the person Yeonhwa mentioned to continue the conversation on another topic, Yeonhwa made the same expression as expected.
“Judging by his tone, it seems that he is the person you know for his precognitive abilities?”
That’s why Eugene and Ae-ri didn’t really say anything to each other during the practical exam.
In the first place, Moon Ae-ri was not the type to kindly reveal her name to others, and right after encountering her, Eugene was also dazed for a moment as he had encountered an unexpected person.
In that state, she immediately entered into sparring, so the story goes that Eugene had no chance to learn Moon Ae-ri’s name.
Nevertheless, Yeonhwa made her own guess based on the fact that he knew Moon Ae-ri’s name.
“I came to this conclusion after watching the sparring between you and that girl, but that girl’s talent was quite extraordinary. “I didn’t know that there was someone in this Orbital World who possessed all things other than the main body.”
And if he had that level of talent, he would belong to those who have the talent to be called ‘geniuses’ attending the academy that Eugene talked about.
Therefore, Yeonhwa, who checked on Moon Ae-ri who was sparring with Yujin, was able to guess that Yujin knew Moon Ae-ri through her precognitive ability.
“… Heaven and Earth? “That body of heaven and earth?”
As she guessed, she was also one of the sub-heroines with natural talent, so Eugene knew about her through knowledge of the original work.
However, because he did not know the exact name of Moon Ae-ri’s constitution, Eugene looked at Yeonhwa with a puzzled expression.
“Hmm, you didn’t know? Well, unless you have learned martial arts, it may be difficult to recognize Cheonmujiche at a glance.”
In addition, Yeonhwa, like Mun Ae-ri, had the constitution of a heavenly body, so she was immediately recognizable, but Eugene was not like that.
