Chapter 159 – Money Copying
#159.
“Gaon!”
As soon as I entered the reception room, Priscilla ran over and took me into her arms.
“Be careful.”
“Don’t… Did you miss it? Didn’t I want to see Gaon?”
Priscilla asked with a sullen expression, her eyes widening. Gaon had no choice but to let it go even though she knew that it was her prudery.
“It is not.”
“Huh, I knew that. Long time no see. Was it only three days?”
“Yes, I’ve been a bit busy lately with training.”
A week has already passed since the date with Chorin.
During that time, Gaon focused on training in order to reach 8 stars as quickly as possible and learn new skills.
It was only in my previous life that I was able to become so strong that it was hard to find an opponent with just basic skills because my physical specifications were so perfect, but not now.
It is necessary to learn various skills to be able to cope with any situation.
‘There aren’t that many left.’
In the case of the 8-star, all the veins that became open as the middle ground was opened must be tapped, and it is expected that it will take about 5 months.
In the meantime, there is nothing to do, so you just have to be patient and take it easy.
While Gaon and Priscilla were talking, Chorin, who was standing next to them, interrupted.
“Could you please leave for a moment? I’m here because I have other business.”
“Huh, that’s it, I know. Excuse me. Come here.”
Cho-rin and Ha-yeon heard about Priscilla’s work, but today is definitely the first time they’ve met face-to-face since then.
At the execution site last time, work was so urgent that we couldn’t even talk properly.
Even so, the two didn’t pretend to see it, and clung to Gaon and acted aegyo, so I couldn’t see it well.
I even wanted to separate it a little bit, and I see him walking with Gaon’s arms crossed.
‘She’s like a shameless woman!’
The other day, I apologized for saying I’m sorry or something, but it must have been pure introspection. It seemed that his personality had changed a bit.
Chorin hurriedly followed them and grabbed Gaon’s other arm.
“Priscilla. Shouldn’t you be a little careful in the mansion? You might have eyes that see.”
“Yes? Where are the eyes that see here?”
“You never know. If Priscilla, a ‘married woman’, is caught doing this to Mr. Gaon, strange rumors may spread. Please be careful.”
It is said that he prepared his mind in advance, but seeing Gaon and Priscilla making love, his tone became sharp without even realizing it.
“…”
Their eyes collide and sparks fly.
Ga-on was troubled by the fight over him, and Ha-yeon, who trailed slightly behind her, trembled in fear.
No matter how much Gaon said she was okay, Priscilla, who was very concerned about the fact that she had already married another man, glared at Chorin, who poked at her weakness, then smiled and untied her arms.
She said, then gently stroking her lower belly.
“Sorry. I was too careless. But please understand. ‘Kid’ kicks her in the stomach to see if she wants to be with her dad. What is it? Huhu, isn’t it really cute?”
Cute right? You can’t be so mean when you say that with a smile on your face.
Chorin felt the heat rising inside her, because she was secretly jealous of Priscilla, who was pregnant with Gaon’s child.
But getting angry here is something only a third-rate person would do. Calmly she retorted her words.
“… Do Union’s children even kick after 2 weeks of pregnancy? How amazing.”
At the same time, she brushed her hair to show the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
“…”
Priscilla’s brow furrowed.
She too received her ring from Gaon, but due to the nature of her status, she cannot openly reveal it.
Now her fingers were empty.
Just by not wearing her wedding ring, Priscilla can be seen as doing her best.
As soon as the atmosphere between the two gradually became overheated and there were signs of a direct clash, Gaon stepped in.
“Both calm down. Let’s deal with the business that came here first. Yes?”
“I understand if Mr. Gaon says so.”
“… Yes. Here is the magic stone I told you about in advance.”
Neither of them seemed to really intend to fight, so when Gaon stopped them, they took a step back and accepted the intervention.
Priscilla took out the magic crystal from her arms and held it out.
When Chorin received it and began examining it, Priscilla asked Gaon.
“But is it true? That you can change a low-level magic crystal into a high-level magic crystal.”
“… It’s true. It’s possible if you use Chorin’s ability. I have already tested it.”
“Is that so? It would be great if it were true. I can sweep the money.”
Of course, higher grade magic stones are much more valuable than lower grade magic stones, and the price is astronomically high.
To put it simply, if the magic power of a low-level magic stone is 1 and the magic power of a high-level magic stone is 30, it means that the price is not simply 30 times higher.
The price was thousands or tens of thousands of times, which meant that by using Chorin’s ability, the value of the mine could be multiplied tens of thousands of times.
The magic crystal mine owned by the Barrymore family mainly produces low- and intermediate-grade magic crystals.
If all of them were upgraded to high-grade magic stones and sold, wealth beyond imagination could be obtained.
This will make Priscilla’s position even more solid.
“But do you really need magic stones? Can’t it just be made with plain stones?”
“Hmm… Chorin’s ability is close to the concept of expansion construction. It’s just widening the vessel that has already been formed. Of course, you cannot create something out of nothing.”
If Chorin’s abilities develop further in the future, it will happen in case you don’t know, but for now, it’s impossible to do that.
To be honest, this was great enough.
“I understood. Can you show me then? After all, I think it’s better to see it once than just hear it.”
“Let it be. Mr. Chorin, please.”
“All right. I will do it now.”
At Gaon’s gesture, Chorin nodded her head, sent her gaze to Priscilla as if to take a closer look, and grabbed her magic stone.
In that state, she closed her eyes as if trying to concentrate, and at the same time, a warm green mana emanated from her hand and began to seep into her magic stone.
“Oh my God, the magic stone… !”
Priscilla, who was watching the scene, exclaimed in admiration when she saw the blue light in her magic stone shining more clearly.
The higher the concentration of magical power in the magic stone, the brighter the jewel’s light.
It was only natural that Priscilla was surprised to see the concentration of magic crystals increase in real time.
Chorin, who had been holding on to the magic crystal for a while and pouring out his mana, put it down on the table only when the light that spread in all directions converged into a single point and deepened.
“Whoa… That’s Okay. Please confirm it.”
“… Wait a minute.”
Priscilla can’t handle mana, so it’s impossible to check through the senses, but that’s not necessarily the only way to exist.
Normally, magic power differs in light depending on the amount and quality of compression.
Like the change just before, when it reaches the level of high-grade magic crystals, instead of meaninglessly radiating light in all directions, it is concentrated in one place, reducing waste as much as possible.
Priscilla, who was examining the magic crystal closely using a magnifying glass, stuck out her tongue after confirming it.
“It really turned into a high-level magic stone. Besides, with such a small size, it would be more portable, so it would be more expensive than a normal one.”
The small size means that it has excellent compression, which means that it has excellent portability as well as excellent mana recovery.
If you can collect money with a pitchfork even if you follow only half of an ordinary magic stone, but if it shows a more excellent quality, it is really only a matter of time before you get hit by a thunderbolt.
Priscilla counted the money in her head and suddenly came to her senses.
‘This money is for Gaon.’
A few days ago, she heard a secret from Gaon.
He was a regressor who returned from the future to the past, and later this world called Union would be destroyed.
At first, she couldn’t believe it, but at Gaon’s repeated persuasion, she accepted it with a feeling that it didn’t matter if she was deceived.
All the money he earned now was to be used for Gaon’s purpose to prevent the destruction of the world.
Fortunately, she was not particularly greedy for money, so it was easy to shake off.
“… If this is the case, you may be able to raise funds. First of all, I’ll have to sell it little by little, and then sell it in earnest and expand my business by buying low-level magicite mines. Can you really be better than that? To keep this secret, all magic stones must be found in the mine.”
Anyone would covet the ability to turn a low-grade magic stone into a high-grade magic stone.
Although the Earl of Barrymore has its own strength, if a duke-level powerful person attacks, the information on Gaon and Chorin cannot be perfectly protected.
So, they had no choice but to hide the information about the two and pretend that there was an additional vein of magic stone found in the mine.
“Sure. I am not very interested in money.”
“… All right. Then I will. Tell me anything I will save you all.”
It was also a burden for her to continue to receive from her. She was willing to do anything Gaon wanted.
Priscilla blushed slightly at the scene that came to her mind.
When she said anything, she remembered that she had a relationship with Gaon a few days ago.
When she was so alone in her thoughts, Gaon answered.
“Really? Aren’t you going to be in trouble later?”
“Yes, really say anything.”
The two exchanged soft smiles.
“The talk is pretty much over with this. Magic crystals are always in high demand, so you don’t even need to find a business partner. If you do anything, you can sell it to the Mage Tower.”
“Yes, starting tomorrow, I will take the magic stones to the Prenewal Guild. Are you okay?”
“Ten per day. I do that right now. Even magic has its limits.”
Chorin has a top-notch magicite that he bought with the money he had left over from selling his shopping cart.
The amount of mana contained there is truly enormous, but the amount that can be recovered per day is fixed.
That’s exactly the amount of 10 high-level magic stones.
“All right. So, the talk ends here. I need to get back in touch too. Bye.”
“Priscilla is fine too. See you later.”
Gaon lightly kissed Priscilla and left the waiting room.
The road to the pre-new guild after leaving the mansion.
Gaon looked at Chorin, who was still in trouble, and quietly spoke to him.
“Chorin, is there any problem? You don’t look good.”
“Ah! Me? That is… Actually, I have a good idea.”
“Is that a good idea?”
“Yes, would you like to listen to me for a moment?”
Chorin whispered as Gaon took her ear.
“I’ve been thinking about it. Since we have sex every day anyway, how about absorbing the semen that came out and making a magic stone?”
“… Yes?”
“That’s right. In fact, it was a waste to just throw it away, but it would be nice to use it there. So, from now on, whenever I run out of magic, I will have sex. How is it?”
Obviously at first, I felt like it was a decent idea, but something is suspicious behind it.
I couldn’t tell if it was purely for efficient work, or if it was just an intention to have a lot of sex.
Still, there was a point, so Gaon nodded calmly.
“… Let’s do it. First, let’s check how efficient the semen is.”
“Good idea. Now let’s go to dinner!”
Knowing that her purpose was accomplished admirably, Chorin rushed forward as soon as she heard Gaon’s answer.
Gaon, who was staring at the back of Chorin who was so excited, as if he was dumbfounded, suddenly saw Hayeon approaching.
When she turned her head, she saw Hayeon with a bright expression on her face.
“Master. I’ll help too! I’ll squeeze you in a lot, so do your best. Got it?”
“… Okay.”
Like Ha-yeon, who is crazy about sex, it seems that she intends to enjoy this opportunity to the fullest.
Gaon thought as he answered.
‘I’ll have to eat eel for a while.’
