Chapter 32

“…”
Ming Hu was speechless as he watched the users flock to his mat.
“Ohhhh… is that okay?”
“Yikes.”
“49 of these?”
The players looked at the swords on display and murmured words of envy. Just then, one user raised his finger, and a window appeared in front of Ming Hu.
[Would you like to sell a glowing steel sword for 90 gold].
“90 gold…
Ming Hu pondered. Even if he sold it for 90 gold, he could still make a huge profit. But he had just sold his own glowing steel sword for 95 gold.
“But… we’d better get rid of it soon, right?
After some thought, Ming Hu realized that it was better to get rid of it quickly and move on than to sit around and waste time for a few more gold, so he pressed OK.
“Thank you.”
One of the users thanked him and started running toward the center. As Ming Hu watched him run, another window appeared in front of him.
[Do you want to sell the Cold Steel Sword for 90 gold].
Sigh
Ninety gold was enough, so Ming Hu pressed confirm.
[Would you sell a solid steel sword for 80 gold].
“Huh?
After pressing OK, the window reappeared. Ming Hu immediately sensed something was wrong and looked at the users.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
Users were wagging their fingers at each other with their swords, and those who didn’t catch them looked very disappointed.
“…Are we really that far behind?
The window didn’t open at the same time when multiple people sent in their expressions of interest. They opened in the order they were sent, so it seemed like they were going to be pushed back.
Sigh
Ming Hu pressed OK for now.
[Do you want to sell the sawblade sword for 90 gold].
As soon as he hit OK, a new window popped up. When Ming Hu saw the window, he had a feeling that the swords in the hands of users were about to sell out.
Sigh
[Would you sell a solid steel sword for 82 gold].
Sigh
[Would you sell a giant double-edged sword for 89 gold].
Sigh
.
.
[Do you want to sell the Cold Steel Sword for 92 gold].
“It’s real.
A user gazed at Ming Hu with a glazed look in his eyes. In the user’s hand was the last of the ten swords on display.
Sigh
Ming Hu raised his hand and pressed OK.
“Thank you!”
The user thanked him and started running toward the center. Ming Hu watched the user’s back and thought.
“Where is it all going?
So far, all users who have purchased a sword run to the center. Why do they run to the center? Ming Hu was curious about the reason for the rush.
“Excuse me, do you have any more swords?”
Just then, a user who hadn’t been able to purchase a sword asked Ming Hu. Ming Hu smiled at the user’s question and opened his mouth to speak.
“Yes.”
Ming Hu opened his inventory and began displaying the sword. The swords were so frightening to look at that users reached for them.
[Would you like to sell a glowing steel sword for 90 gold].
As soon as Ming Hu finished displaying the tenth sword, users began to express interest in buying it. Ming Hu looked at the price and immediately hit confirm to start selling the sword.
.
.
[Would you sell a solid steel sword for 80 gold].
Sigh
“Thank you.”
As usual, the user who bought the sword ran to the center. Ming Hu looked down at the back of his head to see how many swords were still on the mat.
“Four sacks.”
Unlike Darawa, there were four swords left. There were no more users around the mat, which meant there were no users to buy the swords.
“How many sacks do we have left?”
Ming Hu opened his inventory to see how many swords he had left. There were 29 swords left in his inventory. Counting the 4 swords on the shelf, Ming Hu realized that he had 33 swords left, and this time he checked for gold.
“…1500 gold.”
After confirming that there was a large sum of money in his inventory, over 1500 gold, Ming Hu couldn’t help but smile broadly.
“That sword cost me over a thousand gold… Yikes.”
It cost him just over 1000 gold to buy 50 hilts, but he already has 1.5 times as much gold as he spent. Plus, he still had 33 swords for himself.
“They sold for an average of 90 gold… if we keep going.”
I figured I could get about 4500 gold for the sword, assuming it sold out. That’s $4500 in cash!
“I’m going to have to sell these, too.”
Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at the pelt, tail, and claws of the Great Fox and the Monstrous Fox that occupied a corner of his inventory.
“I think I’ll stop by the store that sells all these things.”
Ming Hu decided to sell all his swords and dispose of his other items, and the moment he did so, he saw someone running toward him in the distance.
“Hmm? Is that the user from earlier?”
The first player to buy him a sword, the one who told him to wait a moment and ran to the center, was running.
Dada dada dada dada!
Soon arriving at Ming Hu’s mat, the user looked at the sword still on the mat and the empty seats around it and let out a short sigh.
“Haha… I knew it.”
The user let out a short sigh and muttered something, then looked at Ming Hu and smiled broadly. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
“How many swords do you have left?”
“I have 4 on the shelf, 29 in inventory, and 33 in total.”
“There’s still a lot left!”
Sigh
The user picked up one of the swords on display and sent a purchase request with a swipe of his finger.
[Would you sell a sharp silver longsword for 85 gold].
Sigh
Ming Hu confirms the purchase, and the user puts the sword in their inventory. The user then picks up the sword on the shelf again and sends an offer.
[Do you want to sell the Cold Steel Sword for 90 gold].
Sigh
Ming Hu pressed confirm again to sell the sword, and the user placed the sword in their inventory. The user also purchased the remaining two swords for 85 gold each. He looked at the empty mat, smiled, and turned to Ming Hu and said, “I’m sorry.
“Hello. I’m Golking.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Ming Hu paused for a moment at the Golking’s sudden introduction, then pulled a sword from his inventory and began to display it. The Golking, still smiling as he looked at the swords on display, opened his mouth to speak.
“I believe you have 29 sacks left… is that correct?”
“Yes.”
Ming Hu responded to the Golking’s question by displaying his sword, but the Golking’s next words forced Ming Hu to stop.
“Those 29 sacks. I’ll buy them all.”
“…Yes?”
Ming Hu wondered if he had heard wrong.
“I’ll buy all 29 sacks you have left.”
“…”
But he was not mistaken. Ming Hu turned to look into the Golking’s face. The Golking looked back at Ming Hu with a smile.
“The price will vary depending on the options, but I can give you an average of 85 gold. Do you want to sell?”
“All 29 sacks?”
“Yes.”
Ming Hu thought for a moment at the Golking’s words.
“…not a bad deal.
It wasn’t bad. The price was right, and the best part was that I could do it all at once. Finished with his thoughts, Ming Hu looked at Golking.
“Okay, but you said you’d give me different prices for different options.”
Ming Hu trailed off, watching Golking’s reaction. The Golking opened his mouth to speak, still smiling.
“If you keep it on display like it is now, I’ll look at the options and keep sending you offers, and if you think the price is right, you can confirm, and if not, you can cancel.”
“I see.”
At the Golking’s words, Ming Hu continued to set up his display. The Golking looked at the swords on display, thought for a moment, and made an offer.
[Would you like to sell a glowing steel sword for 95 gold].
[Do you want to sell the Cold Steel Sword for 90 gold].
[Would you sell a giant double-edged sword for 90 gold].
Ming Hu pressed the buyer’s foot to confirm the sale.
“That’s over 90 gold on average.
Contrary to Golking’s statement that the average price was 85 gold, the amount written on the purchase order never went below 90 gold, which was very satisfying for Ming Hu.
[Do you want to sell a light black iron sword for 95 gold].
Sigh
Ming Hu, who had sold most of his swords, then checked to see how many were left.
“Four more to go.
There were no more swords in his inventory, and four swords were sitting on the mat.
Sigh
Golking picked up one of the four swords. After a moment’s consideration, the Golking made an offer.
[Would you like to sell a glowing steel sword for 95 gold].
Sigh
Ming Hu quickly pressed confirm. The Golking placed the purchased sword in his inventory, checked the options for the remaining three swords, and sent his offer in turn. When Ming Hu was satisfied with the price, he pressed confirmation, and soon all the swords were sold.
“That’s it, right?”
“Yes”
Ming Hu nodded in response to Golking’s question. Then they smiled at each other as if they had made a pact.
“Good job!”
“Yes, thank you.”
The Golking quickly ran back to the center, just as it had done at the beginning. Ming Hu watched the Golking’s back as it ran, then picked up the mat and put it in his inventory.
“Yikes.”
Ming Hu looked at his inventory and couldn’t help but smile. More precisely, he smiled at the gold.
“4550 gold. I can’t believe it.”
Ming Hu couldn’t believe that he had such a large amount of money, 45.5 million won if he cashed in the 4550 gold. This situation seemed like a dream.
“Just a few more times.”
It seemed like it would only take a few iterations to get to 200 million. No, I thought, if I spent all the gold I’d earned this time, I could get 200 million in one go.
“But why don’t you do this?”
Ming Hu scratched his head as a thought occurred to him: since there would be a Wu Gu shop here, and they would be selling equipment, why weren’t other players buying and selling like he was?
“And why are they so expensive?”
I didn’t understand the high price of the equipment in the first place. People were paying three times the price for something that was clearly worth less than 30 gold in the Mugu shop. Ming Hu didn’t understand it.
That was the moment.
Dada dada dada!
A user starts running from the center.
