Chapter 53 – Episode 53. Shopping
Always new
Exciting.
Brother is the best
In fact, I’ve been hearing a lot about oppa’s voice lately.
Because Jiyoon and Sieun treat me as oppa and oppa and stick together.
But the ‘oppa’ I just heard from Jun is a little different.
Honestly, Jun is… My older sister.
Although the body and appearance look young for a long time.
In addition, she is a very pretty and cute fairy who is not human.
When Jun bit his lip and said ‘brother’ with tears running down his face…
Ah, I feel like I’m about to open my eyes to a strange taste.
Jun said to me with his head bowed with tears in his eyes.
[I’ll say oppa.. I mean, he’s not coming forward… Please don’t say that. Customer Kang Min-goo… No, I mean, if my brother doesn’t come, I’ll be in big trouble. Therefore..]
Tears welled up in his eyes and ran down his cheeks.
Oh, no matter how I am, this makes me feel a little guilty.
You seem to have bullied the little girl (even though she’s your sister) too badly.
But… I think I might be addicted to it.
I raised my hand and wiped away Jun’s tears.
“Um… I’m sorry. I guess I said too harshly. I will withdraw my words of not coming. Don’t worry too much, I’ll make sure to use the store more often in the future. Got it?”
[I, really?]
Jun’s face lit up again at my words and looked at me.
Oh wow you’re pretty
I even stroked Jun’s head in spite of myself.
“Of course. If possible, it would be good for me to increase the performance of my store manager.”
[Go, thank you, customer Kang Min-goo.. No., Oh, oppa! I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on!!]
Oh, that’s really cute
I smiled and told Jun.
“Then could you explain how to use the store?”
[Ah yes. If you tell us what item you want, we will show you a list of products that can be purchased with your gold.]
Jun excitedly explains about the store.
It’s a pretty simple method.
You’ll have to figure out the details yourself.
“Then… Can you show me your weapons?”
[Yes, which weapon do you want? There are many types of weapons…]
“Um… First, show me a sword that the swordsman can use.”
[All right.]
As soon as Jun answered, a list of swords flashed before my eyes.
Looking at the list that popped up in front of his eyes, Jun said in surprise.
[The amount of gold you have… Must be enormous. So many items appearing on the list… Oh my, even items worth more than 1,000 gold…!]
I do have some money.
Three women go out every day to hunt monsters, and all that gold goes to me.
The captain also goes hunting, so that gold also comes to me.
My current gold holdings are over 1,000 gold.
Of course, you can’t use all of this.
The entrance fee to the upcoming event dungeon alone costs 250 gold.
Me, Mr. Captain, Jiyoon, Sieun, and even Juniel.
For reference, there is no participation fee for the index.
I’ll leave it in the cradle of rest and go into the dungeon to get it out.
Anyway, other than that, the remaining 800 gold is the gold I can use.
‘I can’t say too many. It’s not money I use alone.’
I slowly looked at the list in front of me and chose a sword.
Then Jun urgently told me.
[Now, wait a minute. Kang Min-goo.. No brother. If you have a lot of gold, why don’t you sign up as a member?]
“Join the membership? What is it?”
[It’s literally. It is a membership system that allows you to sign up for Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels, and a certain percentage of the amount spent here is accumulated for each level. 3% for bronze, 5% for silver, and 10% for the last gold level are accumulated as points. Points can be used the same as gold later. In addition, there is an option to earn additional gold grades, so oh, I think it will be very good for you..]
Hmm, it’s similar to the membership system operated by places like supermarkets.
But if there is a grade… It won’t be free.
“So, how much does it cost to become a member?”
[Bronze is 100 gold, silver is 300 gold, and gold is 500 gold.]
Hehe, what’s so expensive?
Seeing my surprised face, Jun hurriedly said,
[No, of course you can’t say it’s cheap. However, I can guarantee that in the long run, signing up as a member will be of greater benefit.]
Um… I’m worried.
Certainly, I think it would be good to sign up as a member even if I think about it.
It’s not like I’ll be using the store just once or twice.
The accrual rate also seems to be quite high.
What is it?
While I was thinking about it, Jun started the business again.
[Your brother said you could stay here for a long time without risk, right? Among the additional earning options for the Gold level, there is also an option to earn 3 points per hour spent in the store. If you choose that option, and assuming your brother comes to the store every night and stays there for about ten hours, he’s just taking 30 points a day. How is it? Are you okay?]
Isn’t 30 points pretty big?
Points given just for staying.
Even if you collect it for 20 days, you can make up for the gold you used to sign up for a membership.
“Isn’t that too generous? 3 points per hour. If that’s the case, you and I would have signed up for the gold level and come to the store every time we sleep.”
Jun shook his head at my words.
[It is not. As I mentioned earlier, regular users are defenseless when they are in the store, so they can’t stay very long. No matter how many people around you protect you, there is a limit. That’s why most of them choose other additional options. But my brother is different. A dimensional gap? I heard it’s a hidden skill there. Then oppa can be here all the time he sleeps…]
Hmm, definitely.
Is this additional option right for me?
If you spend every hour you sleep here, it’s the same as making money while sleeping.
It’s honey.
Okay. Let’s see in the long run.
I was very excited and told Jun.
“I will sign up with a gold level.”
[Excellent choice!]
Jun’s eyes sparkle and shine.
His face is flushed, and he looks quite excited.
As Jun waved his hand in the air, a golden card appeared, and the card flew towards me and stuck to my chest, but disappeared as if it had permeated through it.
Jun said.
[With this, Kangmin.. Oppa is a Gold level member. As mentioned earlier, you earn 10% of your purchases, plus 3 points for every hour you spend in the store. I don’t think you’ll regret today’s choice]
I said to Jun, who seemed amused.
“Good. Did the transaction help Jun a lot?”
[Of course! I just traded a whopping 500 gold! I’m sure the only store that traded 500 gold this early! Thank you so much brother!]
Jun, who spoke with sparkling eyes, looked so cute, so I stroked Jun’s hair again.
Jun looked at my hand stroking his hair somewhat embarrassedly and asked cautiously.
[Yeah, but… Really, oppa… You’re right… Right?]
“What does that matter? The important thing is that I spent a lot of money here, and Jun benefited greatly from it. Isn’t it?”
After thinking about my words for a while, Jun smiled again.
[No, that’s right. You are right. Anyway, I wish you all the best in the future, brother. Anything else to buy?]
“Oh, sure. I’ll look at the list and pick one.”
I slowly looked through the list in front of me.
I won’t be bored (?) Even when I sleep in the future.
*****
When I opened my eyes, I saw Jiyoon in my arms.
In the back, I could see Juniel, Jisoo, and Shieun having a conversation.
Jiyoon, who was in her arms, looked at me and said.
“Brother? Are you awake?”
“Uh… Woke up. How many hours did I sleep?”
“I slept for about seven hours. Sleep more You must be tired.”
“No. Slept quite a bit You should get up soon.”
I got up from the mattress.
And,
“Oh? What is it? Suddenly…”
Arms lying next to me.
These are the things I’ve been shopping for.
Time flew by as I talked to Jun and went shopping.
In addition, the body feels refreshed and good as if it slept soundly.
If you think about it, you might be able to make good use of your time at the store.
Being able to do something even while sleeping is a huge advantage.
I’ll try to think about it later…
I picked up the weapons lying next to me.
He poured 300 gold into buying all of these.
Now I’m broke
The remaining gold should be used for the event dungeon participation fee.
Well, I have my loyal servants, so I’ll be able to get them back together in no time.
I called the three women, Jiyoon, Jisoo, and Sieun, to explain to me about using the store, and handed out the items I had purchased one by one.
He handed the sword to Jisoo.
A sword bought for 100 gold.
It’s a longsword made of steel, but it has an option to increase dex by 3.
He handed Shi-eun a staff made of wood.
It’s a clunky looking staff, but it costs 150 gold.
For reference, there is an option that increases int by 3 and reduces magic power consumption by 2 when using skills.
And Jiyoon handed over a large round shield.
The lowest price is 50 gold.
There is an option to raise con by 2.
The three women held up the weapons they received and expressed their delight with joy.
This should be enough to use in a dungeon.
It’s not an option that increases stats a lot, but I felt that the weapons were quite expensive.
Of course, things like food and daily necessities were reasonably priced.
5 gold for a 20kg bag of rice.
It seems to be about 10,000 won in real money for 1 gold.
If that’s the case, the total price of the weapons I bought is 3 million won.
It is a story that if you include the membership fee, you spent 8 million won in real money at once.
You succeeded, Kang Min-goo.
To be the kind of person who pays 8 million won at a time.
After all, this world is heaven to me.
Once again, I was determined to never end this world.
I called everyone and said.
“Tomorrow morning, I will leave for the area where the event dungeon is held. It’s about 50km away from here, so you can think of it as investing all of your money to move tomorrow. So don’t overdo it with today’s monster hunting and take it easy. “
Except for Jiyoon, who will be my opponent today, the other three women nodded.
“Okay then, let’s move early today. Shi-eun, Ji-soo, and Juniel are out hunting monsters right now… And come back around dawn. I’ll take a break and leave in the morning. Got it?”
When I finished my words, Jisoo, Sieun, and Juniel stood up.
Ji-soo and Si-eun went out with excited faces as if they were excited to use the newly obtained item.
There was silence in the cradle of rest where the three women had left.
It is afternoon time when the sun is still up.
I said looking at Jiyoon.
“As well, since I have to leave tomorrow morning, I won’t make it too long. But let’s work hard to raise our stats.”
Jiyoon looked at me and laughed as if embarrassed, and I looked at Jiyoon and said with a smile.
“Take it off.”
