Dimensional Synthetic Stone, Magic Stone, and Enhancement Stone.

These three types of minerals are clearly the ‘new content’ core items of the warrior village.

And of course, other rankers, other than Ian, were well aware of this.

Then why did the rankers accept Ian's offer so easily?

There were two main reasons.

First, in this warrior village, 'Main Quest Success' should be a top priority.

Contribution Points that can be earned as main quests are also important, but if you do not succeed in the main quests, you will be more than a day behind everyone else.

Simply put, if you fail the mining quest today, you will have to retry the next day, while other rankers will continue with the next quest.

This results in a combined and intangible loss compared to users who succeeded in the quest.

In addition, when these differences accumulate, they will eventually be made into gaps that cannot be filled by the size of snowflakes.

For those of you who are impatient, ‘Dimensional Magic Stone’ has become of immense value.

Second, there is a big difference between what Ian thinks minerals are and what other rankers think minerals are.

As described above, rankers know that synthetic, magic, and reinforcement stones are part of important new content.

Minerals that can be used to enhance items in a warrior's town.

But they were considering the value of these minerals as a warrior village after all.

After all the Warrior Town Quests are over, you'll have to disappear or leave all the items you made here.

The idea that no matter how good an item was made, the limit was clear, so I nodded my head in favor of Ian's rather crowded condition.

After this content is finished, I think it's a one-time item that will be worthless, so it doesn't feel too bad.

But Ian knew one thing other users didn't.

‘Hehe, if they find out about the existence of the Shining Magic Stone later, they will all regret hitting the ground. ’

A Shining Magic Stone. Only Ian succeeded in mining.

This mineral contained hidden content.

The information window for the 'Shining Dimension Magical Stone’ was as follows:

- Shining Dimensional Magic Stone

Classification: General Goods

Rating: unique (transcendent)

This Magic Stone contains a dimension beyond its limits.

You can only unseal objects with dimensional power.

Unlocked equipment unlocks hidden potential and enhances equipment performance to the next level.

Equipment that has been unsealed can also be used outside the Valley of Warriors.

* Can only be used once per item.

(Cannot use on items that have already been unsealed.)

A rare Magic Stone that even Ian has gotten so far.

And the existence of this magical stone was a complete reversal of the value of dimensional equipment.

Even the part about enhancing the performance of the equipment was attractive enough, but the part about 'being able to use it even outside the canyon’ was really dramatic.

"Heheh, if you see that it's never been out of the mines before, maybe it's a mineral that can only be obtained from Iron Worms." ’

Ian's tail dries up gradually whenever he thinks of the Shining Magic Stone.

‘As long as I don't solve the information separately, I'll be able to monopolize the information. ’

Ian's mouth was filled with a grinning smile as he thought of the tons of minerals that would pile up in his inventory.

The 'Hero Score’ used as a commodity in the warrior village was still overflowing, and I thought that if I had enough minerals, I would be able to craft a tremendous amount of transcendent equipment.

Ian feels better about mining slaves (?) and began circling the mine to oversee them.

Boom, boom, boom!

Six rankers sweating like crazy and trying to secure as many minerals as you can.

Ian looks more satisfied. He sneaks up on the mining hoon on the inside of the mine and talks.

“How's your mining going, Hun? ”

And in Ian's question, Hun spoke up, expressing his impression.

“I'm busy right now, so please don't talk to me, bro. ”

“Hehe, yes. Mine hard. But I think you're the best because you've worked in the Market Mine before. ”

Boom, boom, boom!

Now the lesson of focusing on pickaxing without even talking back.

Seeing such a hoon reminded me of what happened 30 minutes ago in Ian's head.

"What the hell is he up to? ’

It's a short-term slave contract between Ian and rankers (?) immediately after the execution.

* * *

“Hun, why aren't you going? I thought you'd be the first to jump. ”

“ ……. ”

“I think this is what you look like when you say something you feel sorry for me.... Can I ask you something? ”

“Ears, ghosts! ”

“Stop moaning like a poop puppy and talk fast. ”

Unlike the rankers who rushed to fulfill Ian's contract, Hun remained ahead of Ian.

I had something to say to Ian.

And the story I heard from Hun, it was very interesting.

“Bro, I'll dig up the minerals really hard. Can you get me 20 Magic Stones for me? ”

“What……? Not ten. Twenty? ”

“Yes.”

“What are you going to do with 20 of them? ”

“Tsh, I have something to use. ”

“Hm? I'd say I've got four or five magic stones so far. Maybe ten more to fill the maximum Contribution Points." ”

“ ……. ”

“Then what are you going to use the remaining ten for? ”

“That's... a secret. ”

In fact, Ian was thinking of saving ten magic stones for the Huns.

Hun was also Lotus' force anyway, so we need to grow before the other rankers.

But Ian didn't even expect it to be ten or twenty.

‘I wonder what Hun is thinking.... ’

No matter how Ian rolls his head, he can't even imagine the scheme of Hun.

So Ian decided to put an undercover agent next to Hun.

The agent's name was Plenty.

* * *

“No, I mean... There are other good conditions. Do you really have to live here? ”

“Yes, Job. Room 2502, 105. I will definitely live here, Job. ”

“Why on earth? Don't try to buy it from the owner who doesn't seem willing to sell it, but you can buy the stuff on the third floor. No, but before that... There are 2,000 cheaper items in the east... ”

Mijin, the mother of the semi and the representative of the semi real estate, was now dealing with a very embarrassing guest.

Having run a real estate office for almost 20 years, I met a type of guest I had never seen before.

An exotic, aristocratic-style young man with black-haired, white-skinned skin.

When the seminar first handed over this bizarre guest, Mijin was quite embarrassed.

She didn't know how to speak English, so she thought it was impossible to communicate.

But fortunately, the man could speak Korean.

I know you have an odd pronunciation, but you speak a pretty high-level vocabulary.

It did not interfere at all with communication.

But the problem was elsewhere.

The real estate conditions that this man wanted were very unusual.

No, there was no such thing as a condition.

Just what this guy wants, a certain kind of apartment complex. Among them, it was the second bedroom apartment on the 25th floor.

“What the hell is wrong with 105 and 2502? Let's hear a little bit about why, and then figure out how. ”

“I cannot say why. I just need the house. ”

“No, I don't know how to buy a house that wasn't on the property in the first place.... ”

“You can call the landlord directly. I thought you had the number. ”

“ ……. ”

“What was the original price of this house? ”

Seeing a strange customer who was crying in silence, Mijin shakes his head as if he had given up.

‘This apartment has no investment value.... ’

However, I was unable to expel the guest, so I decided to give him an answer.

“This is 25 equilibrium just by quoting.... ”

Mijin looks at the monitor for a moment and opens his mouth slowly.

“The market rate is roughly 700 million. ”

In fact, Mijin was talking about slightly raising the price of the apartment.

If it's more expensive than I thought, I'd give up and look for something else.

However, the words of the continued foreign guest began to flow in a direction that was not expected at all.

“$720 million would be about 700,000…… Job. ”

“If you calculate the exchange rate…… that would be roughly it? ”

On Mijin's back, the man tilts his head with a curious look.

“Job is cheaper than I thought. I never thought Ian Gad would live in a slum like this... ”

“Yes……? Who is that? ”

Seeing a foreigner muttering an unknown word, it was a completely ridiculous face.

And the man's words were enough to make her even more confused.

“Good job. I'll give you 1.5 million dollars. ”

“To?”

“With this money, you can buy 2502, right? ”

“Well, well……. ”

“I don't need it unless it's that house. I have to buy him a house. ”

“By the way, what kind of $1.5 billion do you spend on a 70,000,000 house? ”

Mijin has begun to suspect that this man is playing a prank on himself, beyond what is now baffling.

"Isn't this guy crazy? Should I call the police? ’

But the next moment, Mijin had to dial the number of the landlord in room 2502 instead of calling the police.

A man took a bunch of money out of his bag and put it on Mijin's chin.

“ ……! ”

“Allow me to write the contract until tomorrow. I'll triple the cost of the relay. ”
