Chapter 182 – Episode 21. Plan B.
“Once you said you were going to buy this guy, she closed the door… “She goes right into the next room.”
The slaver locked Alexandra Smirnova’s room and headed to the next room. When I opened the next room with the key, a boy in his late teens with short black hair was sitting there. He looked quite thin, probably due to lack of nutrition.
“This guy um… “You could say he has regenerative powers.”
“Ah.”
It seemed like a case of regeneration as an attribute, different from the regeneration I got in the beginning after taking Cheonwanghwan. However, while Cheonwanghwan is a growth type with enormous potential, this boy’s regenerative ability will vary depending on the level of the characteristic.
I thought about using the glasses from the ruins that I had left in my pocket twice, but since I already knew they were regenerated, I thought it would be better to use them on someone else. You just have to ask this slave trader to find out how high his ability is.
“How much ability do you have?”
“It’s not like what you see in movies where even if an arm is cut off, it regenerates…” . Five minutes if you just get a slight cut on your arm? It can be recovered within that amount. It didn’t sell well because its abilities were a bit vague. It’s hard to call this a superpower…”
Unlike players, NPC characters have a higher probability of showing related characteristics, so if there is regeneration, similar characteristics may appear in the future. So, if raised well, it seemed like it could be useful as a tanker. And looking at it this thin, it could be that recovery is slow due to lack of nutrients.
“How much?”
“This guy is still a man with fine limbs, so I’ll have to give him 155,000 points.”
“Let’s buy it.”
“Oh~! “It’s a good choice.”
After making this transaction, I thought about it and realized that this slave merchant was surprisingly honest. I see that he talks honestly about his abilities without boasting. If it had been any other businessman, I would have called this regenerated boy some sort of troll and asked for a million.
“Next…”
I locked the door to the playing boy’s room and opened the next room. In the next room was a boy wearing a hood with his eyes closed. He was wrapped tightly in long clothes, so I couldn’t see his limbs, so I couldn’t tell if he was thin or fat. He was wearing a hood, so I couldn’t see his face, but all I could see was that his eyes were closed.
“This guy has clairvoyant abilities.”
See through… I also experienced it once. When I met Sian Nagumo recently, the guy sniping through the restaurant wall was a clairvoyant. He still can’t kill me? I’m curious.
“This one is quite expensive. He will be able to recover the money he bought in just one or two trips to the gambling house.”
Ah, it could be useful for gambling too. I guess I was thinking too much about combat. Since clairvoyance is a pretty good skill, should I buy it?
“So how much is it?”
“You should give me at least a million points.”
“Only a million? “If I’m going to sell for a million, I think it would be a good idea to take him to the gambling house a few times.”
Rather, the slave dealer gave a slightly bitter smile when I asked him why he was selling it so cheaply.
“To be honest, I don’t listen. Rather, they made us lose our money by intentionally telling us the opposite of the hand we had lost or won in the gambling hall. So the loss was severe.”
After listening to the slave trader’s words, it didn’t seem like he had the type of personality to give in to anyone. Seeing that he was wrapped tightly in long sleeves and pants, it seemed like he was covering up the scars and bruises from being beaten so badly because he didn’t listen. Of course, if you made this slave trader lose his money, he would have been hit hard.
“It would be a bit of a waste if I didn’t listen… Let’s make it 500,000 points.”
“That’s half too much. Let’s make it seventy-five.”
“Of course. “They said they would give me an additional discount for the amount I would buy anyway, so I’m looking forward to that.”
It was a slave dealer pressing his temples while nodding to my words. Just like that, we headed to the next room. The guy in the next room was a large boy with the rock formation ability, which was a backward compatible ability of Seryutai’s Sawayanagi Tobe.
This guy nodded when the slave trader asked him a price of 1 million points, as if he was overestimating his abilities. Well, Alexandra Smirnova’s 8,000 points in the beginning are ridiculously cheap, so this is probably normal. He said that my ability to turn rocks wasn’t bad, so I’d be cool with it too.
“Then skip this room…”
I grabbed the slaver’s arm as he skipped across the room next to the rock painting boy. I definitely felt like I was popular, but as I watched it pass by, it seemed like there was some story behind it.
“What do we have here?”
“This guy has dangerous abilities and we plan to dispose of him, so please move on.”
Oh, what a dangerous ability… That means it’s a strong ability. I felt something great about the slaver’s repulsive attitude.
“You don’t have to open the door, so please explain.”
“After… All right. First of all, this girl is a Japanese girl. I guess he’s 20 now… Do you know that it is a magic eye?”
Of course you know. The Magic Eye ability is a high-level ability that causes damage to an opponent simply by using the power contained in the eyes. Avoiding the other person’s gaze is difficult in itself, so it is quite difficult to deal with.
“I know Maan. So what magical eye power does this Japanese girl have?”
“Just looking at it gives me a huge sense of fear. “Some people have committed suicide out of fear just by looking at this girl.”
It seems he has the magical eye ability to perform mental attacks. The slave merchant also had a slight look of fear in his eyes, as if he had been severely scolded.
“So are you disposing of it?”
“Yes. It’s pretty smooth, so I’ve kept it for a long time, but there’s no way to use it, so it’s just a matter of maintenance costs…”
I walked closer to the door and spoke to him in Japanese, leaving the slave dealer muttering reasons for the disposal.
“Are you okay? What is your name?”
“…Are you Japanese?”
After a long moment of silence, a beautiful voice was heard. It was a beautiful voice that made you think you would look pretty just by hearing it.
“Half Japanese. What is your name?”
“My name is Konoe Akina (近衛 亜貴名).”
Although he only mentioned his name, it was a dignified self-introduction. But when it comes to Konoe, she comes from quite a famous family… ? The Kono clan, a prestigious family in Tokyo, was a family with considerable political and economic influence. Although it was not that big, it was a family that had its own independent power other than the Taira Minamotono. I have no choice but to buy it and send it home. I don’t want people to misunderstand that I kidnapped them by taking them around for no reason…
“Hang in there. Because I will save you. “I’ll take you home.”
“Ah…! Thank you. “I will not forget this favor.”
Akina Konoe had a calm voice even when she said she would be sent home. I finished my story with Akina Konoe and looked at her slaver. When I spoke to Akina Konoe, she seemed a little perplexed.
“Now that the story is over, let me buy this girl.”
“Hey, you’re fluent in Japanese.”
“Well, that’s right. “How much will it cost?”
“… Let’s do it like this. I’ll give this girl to you for free. Instead, no discount rate will be applied.”
I looked at the slave dealer with a puzzled expression.
“No, they said they were going to dispose of it anyway.”
Haha, if you need customers, it becomes valuable. So let’s do it like this. “Originally, we were going to give each person a 5 percent discount, but we will give it a 2 percent discount.”
“All right. “Let’s move on.”
“Next is the last.”
Akina Konoe’s room was not open, so she quickly moved on to the next room without having to lock it.
“But why are there no adults and only boys and girls?”
When I asked the slaver who was using the key to open the door to the next room what I was curious about, the slaver answered without even looking at my face.
“Adults don’t go into debt because they have the abilities they have. “Most of the children here were sold by their parents in lieu of debt.”
Ah-ha, I see. The parents were the problem. It would have been better if the parents were the problem. Because I won’t go back home again. In the first place, I planned to raise them under my care since they were purchased with my money, but it was even better because the relationship with their parents was severed.
In the next room, a very cute girl with green hair was sitting with an uncharacteristically relaxed expression. Green hair… I don’t know what her powers were, but it seemed like her hair changed color because of her superpowers.
“I don’t know what abilities this guy has. She said the debt collector who brought this guy must have super powers, so she’s here, but I’m not sure what her powers are. “You don’t have to buy this guy.”
Then she’ll wear the ruins glasses in her pocket. It’s a bit of a waste since there are only 2 times left, but by now the glasses from the historical sites I’ve scavenged from the dark store app should have arrived at home.
I looked at the girl with glasses and green hair.

Characteristics
Sympathy with plants and trees – the protection of the tree spirit
Gardening superman
Looking at the stats, it has nothing to do with combat, but it would be nice to have them grow some kind of herb or something? Since I have Juan and Seeds, I think I can just give it a try. Perhaps the reason his hair turned green was because of the protection of the tree spirit. Moreover, it seemed like this girl was born to grow plants from the beginning, not being a gardening expert or expert but a superhuman.
“The debtor we brought in said he could talk to ghosts, but nothing was revealed yet, so we thought he just had powers similar to those of a shaman.”
Well, maybe that communication with plants – I thought I was talking to a ghost when I saw him talking to plants due to the tree spirit’s protection.
“How much is that girl?”
“Hmm… It may seem like he doesn’t have the ability, but he can use it for dirty things, so you’ll have to pay him a lot of money. “About 100,000 points?”
I guess the market price for an average woman is around 100,000 points. I nodded. This girl named Darim Jeong grew up well, so I thought I could easily get 100,000 points back just by cultivating special herbs.
“Even that girl buys that our relationship has turned out this way.”
“Great! Then, since there are 6 people, 2% each for a 12% discount… “That’s 2,007,280 points.”
2 million points for 6 talented people, or 2.6 billion won in won, was nothing. Of course, Akina Konoe has to be returned to her home, but she can get more than that in compensation. After I paid the price through the app, the slave dealer opened the doors to each room except Akina Konoe’s room. And with an expression of half fear and half shame, he handed me the key to Akina Konoe’s room.
“Now, speak well and open the door for that Japanese girl without getting hurt. And the exit is over there. “You can also open the exit door with the key I gave you.”
There was a small side door where the slave dealer pointed. It’s quite thorough that there is a separate exit. And it certainly seemed like she was quite afraid of encountering Akina Konoe since she killed her own subordinate.
“I go up first. “I will contact you again if any talented items come in.”
The slaver left her with only his words and quickly escaped from the prison on the second basement level.
