The most unexpected country benefited the most from the auction house.

It was the Dwarves’ nation, Terrein. They ended up gaining the most advantage.

“The world has become better! This era is calling for us Dwarves!”

“That’s right!”

Two Dwarf males clinked their beer mugs at a tavern.

Clink!

With a cheerful sound, some beer spilled, but the Dwarves didn’t care.

It’s not a day to worry about spilling a little beer.

Today is a joyful day of eating and drinking until we die!

It’s nothing, they shrugged it off.

“I don’t know who this ‘Jooddak’ is, but if they come to our Terrein, I want to give them a good punch!”

“Khehehe! ‘Jooddak’ could be one of us Dwarves.”

“It’s suspicious from the moment they opened the auction house!”

Recently, the economic situation of the Dwarves had mostly improved, so their faces were filled with smiles.

Gallery Auction House.

A platform where all the world’s items could be sold, and the Dwarves enjoyed favorable deals.

“Farewell, poverty! Farewell, Jooddak-less era!”

Dwarves had lived in suffering until now.

Being stuck in the southeastern part of the continent and in a forested area, distribution costs were high.

No, they were extremely high.

Most of their net profits were diminished by distribution costs, to the point of being the worst.

Still, the Dwarves had no choice but to survive.

Their specialty products were industrial goods: weapons, armor, accessories, agricultural tools, and so on.

They had to trade to make a living.

That’s why Terrein was the country that suffered losses while exporting.

If they didn’t go through the Merchant Guild of Tesseur, one of the closest countries, it was even difficult to sell.

The next closest country, Osan Kingdom, had a smaller merchant guild and couldn’t compete with the Tesseur Empire.

Should they trade with Majeros, the closest country?

Majeros, located directly north, was a nation of demons that the Dwarves despised.

.

Better to bite off our tongues and die! That was absolutely not an option.

They were barbaric!

They knew nothing about the Dwarves’ reverence for equipment!

So the Dwarves had no choice.

“Kreuk.”

Despite various grievances in the trade, the Dwarves endured silently.

No one could match the horsemanship skills of the Tesseur Empire.

However, that is also a thing of the past.

Thanks to the auction system that emerged in the gallery, they were freed from all those constraints.

“We are free! We won’t become slaves of distribution!”

“Ugh…! After excluding distribution costs, even if we sell cheaply, there’s still profit! Do you know how much we’ve struggled to match prices so far…?”

“Yeah, you’re right. We don’t know how good it is because of that.”

With increased profits, they were able to enjoy plenty of refreshing beer!

I didn’t expect to be this grateful.

One of the chattering dwarves murmured.

“I want to do something to show my gratitude…”

He wanted to express his gratitude to Judak.

What would be an appropriate gift?

As he pondered, he nodded with an “aha” and said.

If it’s something made by dwarves, it’s a luxury item. Maybe I can give that as a gift.

He called his colleagues together to convey his opinion.

“I’m thinking of making something for Judak to show my gratitude. What do you think?”

“What kind of thing are you thinking of making?”

“Since I want Judak to live long, I should make something that corresponds to that!”

“Something easy to carry… Something that can protect one’s life.”

“Hey! Balin! Come here!”

The dwarf artisans gathered one by one and began to voice their opinions in their respective fields of expertise.

The project seems to have gotten bigger than expected.

Well, it should be fine.

The dwarf who led the work casually brushed it off and expressed his opinion on what to make.

It’s a gift to express infinite gratitude to Judak.

He just wanted to give the best possible gift.

“Then, how about making it according to this design blueprint?”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

“It’s a bit challenging… Can you handle gem cutting, Scottlin?”

“Do you think I’m a joke? Lie down and drink your beer.”

“I’ll do the engraving.”

“Let’s each take a few days off to make it. We’ll have a decent item if we spend some time on it!”

Unusual items began to be created from a casual idea.

When the dwarves heated up in their craftsmanship.

The gallery was still captivated by cola.

Demons were astonished, humans fainted, and elves praised the black liquid.

Title: Call It More Cola

Please.

– Please give me cola.

– Cola!!!! More !!!!!

“Did these idiots hear the ghost of someone who died without drinking cola?”

Ah, they’ve lived without cola.

As someone who has been drinking cola since birth, it was a bit difficult for Juddak to understand.

A life without cola? If I were dead, I’d be dead. How can one live? Now I understand.

“Hmm, should I try something other than cola now?”

Cola is a beverage that can only succeed.

Didn’t they sell black water for 100 years on Earth alone?

When you think of black water, cola comes to mind before oil, such is its name value.

If they sold cola… couldn’t they sell another beverage that matches it?

After contemplating, they chose cider from the list.

If they sell black water, they should also sell white water.

“But with this, will there be time to manage the gallery?”

Time at the auction house is being taken away more than expected, making the schedule hectic.

Still, it’s much better than when Juddak used to run a minor gallery, but considering that such functions will increase in the future… improvements are needed.

First, let’s think about what to do after selling cider.

They should create a more efficient process for managing the gallery or make the assistants work harder.

Just as they were about to choose Zero Cider for sale, a message popped up.

【The level of the auction house has increased!】

“…Huh?”

Did the auction house have levels?

This World’s Gallery

– Management Level: 3

– Auction House Level: 2

– Points: 34034

【Weapons】

【Armor】

【Accessories】

【Consumables】

【Food】

【Miscellaneous】

“…What’s this new thing?”

First, they decided to check what had changed.

***

It’s been a few days since the cola craze started at the gallery.

The bait of This World’s Gallery -losing preciousness due to familiarity- rolled out.

Title: Don’t you think cola is starting to get boring now?

If you’re bored, go for it ㅋㅋ

ㄴDon’t drink it, lol

ㄴI even drank your cola, lol

ㄴㅋㅋ One competitor down~

Of course, most people were still thirsty for cola.

ㄴI don’t know, but I think I need to drink about 5 more colas to know…

ㄴI drink 10!

ㄴI think I need to drink 3 glasses every day to know for sure, seriously.

ㄴI mix it with alcohol, so it doesn’t get boring, lololol

ㄴWhy would you do that with cola???

ㄴMix it in a 1:1 ratio with Balvenie 28-year-old, yeah

ㄴWow, haha, surprisingly delicious

ㄴIs it good since you say so?

Title: “But is Coke not sold regularly?”

ㄴI feel like Coke is running out, but it’s not at all, right?

ㄴWhen I eat it with french fries, I don’t get tired of it.

ㄴEven when I eat it with meat, I don’t get tired of it lol.

ㄴCoke is the drink of the gods, and Juddak is a god, yes…

Title: “But is Coke not sold regularly?”

It’s a pity that Juddak has to manually sell it every day.

ㄴIf you leave Coke to me, I’ll sell it for you.

ㄴI can also sell Coke. Leave it to me.

ㄴI have 23 years of experience in market trading, so it’s definitely possible.

ㄴI’ve been a residential security guard for 3 years, is it possible?

ㄴBeing a residential security guard seems quite demanding, yeah;;

The topic of Coke was consistently discussed in the gallery.

However, there was one topic that stood out as the most important.

─Isn’t it too difficult to buy Coke?

To purchase Coke, one must compete fiercely with others.

But if you don’t drink it, you wonder if you’re missing out on something. It feels exhilarating and makes you think.

It didn’t disrupt daily life, but I just wanted to drink Coke.

Title: “Is there drugs in Coke?”

ㅇㅇ;

ㄴThere are no drug components.

ㄴThe elves analyzed it this time and said there are no drug components.

ㄴThey said it contains something that gives a sweet taste and a substance that stimulates the brain, with water making up the remaining 99%.

ㄴIs that even possible?

ㄴSince it’s possible, they must be selling it lol.

ㄴDamn, how do they do it?

ㄴIt’s not drugs, but analysis shows that drinking too much Coke is not good.

ㄴThey say you can drink up to 3 glasses a day.

ㄴWhat happens if you drink 4 glasses?

ㄴYou’ll feel even better with 4 glasses.

ㄴHaha, I’m going to feel 5 times better then lol.

ㄴExactly lol.

ㄴIt’s not necessarily bad, but it’s not necessarily good either. If you feel any discomfort, drink in moderation.

ㄴThat seems right, yeah.

ㄴIf you feel unwell from drinking, you can get it fixed at the church, no worries.

ㄴThe church is not a place for healing.

ㄴThe priests are crying lol.

ㄴHey, you bastards, you can’t fix it at the church either lol.

It may not be drugs, but it’s not such a great beverage.

Thanks to the research conducted by the obsessed elves, a lot of information circulated in the gallery.

Coke should be consumed in moderation.

But since it’s only good if consumed in moderation, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?

In the end, Coke consumption increased again, and Juddak had a lot of work to do.

Title: “When will Coke be sold this time?”

ㅇㅇ?

ㄴDon’t know…

ㄴI wonder if his chest medicine ran out this time. He didn’t even sell it when his chest was pounding.

Title: Are the moderators neglecting auction house management?

─Mawangjjang: Although I have the authority, they told me not to do it~~ So, Jutdak is doing it alone~~! > <☆

ㄴHehe, fuck, lol.

ㄴIf it were me, I would track down that bastard and give him a hard time at night, lol.

ㄴWarrior: We only handle gallery management! We also recruit party members! Recruiting warriors for parties all the time!

ㄴHey, stop recruiting, lol.

ㄴActually, doesn't this guy have no intention of forming a party? Lol.

ㄴAt this point, it's just enjoying the process of recruiting parties, lol.

ㄴPlant Druid: Auction house management… It seems really difficult… I'm just cheering from the sidelines.

ㄴElder, please stay calm…

ㄴYou don't have to manage the gallery, Elder.

ㄴGo water your plants…

ㄴFuck, what's with the respect for the elderly, lol.

ㄴI'm not an old person!!

ㄴGrandma, I'm hungry.

ㄴ??? : Did you say you're hungry???????

ㄴ(Table leg breaking meme.jpg)

ㄴWajangchang is a pervert, lol.

ㄴLol, what's with the grandma image, haha.

ㄴSeeing him take care of plants all day gives off a grandma vibe, haha.

ㄴIf you read his posts on the gallery during the holidays, you won't have to go to Grandma's house, lol.

ㄴYeah, lol.

Title: So when is the cola coming…

ㄴYeah…

ㄴI'm exhausted…

ㄴI'm cold… Jutdak… where are you…

ㄴMy cola is missing its ingredients…

Even people who buy cola to resell it have emerged. The supply can't keep up with the demand.

Even if we anticipate the demand and increase the price, predictions are just predictions. There are limits.

Even if we know the number of gallery members, they sell out quickly, so there's nothing we can do.

After a long time of begging for cola, the gallery users noticed something strange.

Title: Cola has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!

ㄴReally?

ㄴNot a scam, right?

ㄴWhat's going on? Is this for real?

ㄴTitle: Cola has arrived

6 for 1 silver…?

ㄴ?????

ㄴIs this for real? Lol

ㄴWhat the hell, lol

ㄴSo now cola is multiplying, lol

Title: And you can buy unlimited cola;

Damn, I pressed 1000 to see if it works, and it worked

ㄴHahaha

ㄴLooks like everyone in town needs to drink all the cola, lol

ㄴStill spreading around…

ㄴCan't we just ignore it and leave it alone?

ㄴIf we don't claim it, the item will disappear after 3 days…

ㄴReally? Oh, I didn't know that.

Title: How did this happen?

???

ㄴThat's true.

ㄴI wonder what happened.

ㄴThis is possible, lol.

"Yeah, that's right."

Ju-ddak muttered while looking at the gallery.

Upon checking a sudden message, several new features had been added.

【Exchange Auction House Sales Commission】

– Exchange the commission for administrator points.

– 50 silver: exchange for 1 point.

– Unlock feature: 10,000 points.

【Automatic Registration of Auction House Items】

– Automatically list designated items on the auction house.

– Unlock feature: 10,000 points.

"…This is good, isn't it?"

The sales commission was actually overflowing and useless now.

Although it amounted to nearly 10 billion in Earth currency, it didn't help with gallivanting.

Instead of unlocking two features, 20,000 points were spent, but it was a worthwhile possibility.

'Oh.'

Scarily enough, the points started piling up immediately upon unlocking.

All commissions were converted to administrator points…!

Points would then be converted back into cola and cider.

"Haha. Points are being duplicated."

Ju-ddak registered cola in the auction house.

He listed a bundle of 6 packs for 1 silver, and did the same for cider.

Then he immediately wrote a post in the gallery.

─Ju-ddak

Title: Listing Cola ㅇㅇ

Also listing Cider ㅇㅇ;

ㄴCider? What's that?

ㄴHaha, when you drink it, it's incredibly refreshing. But is this right? It comes in a pack of 6?

ㄴ?? Why does it become 6 for 1 silver?

ㄴWhat the hell is this? LOL

ㄴWait, suddenly it's multiplied by 6?

ㄴUnlimited quantity and a 6x event; Ju-ddak, are you not doing business tomorrow?

ㄴJu-ddak) No.

ㄴHaha, lol.

ㄴJu-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!! Ju-ddak!!

Title: Ju-ddak oppa… How much do I have to show you?

(Elf picture covering her lower abdomen shyly.jpg)

ㄴHaha, lol.

ㄴNow it's not an elf but a real elf, lol. Going out as an elf for real, lol.

ㄴI can't resist this, lol.

ㄴIs that gold fur showing?

ㄴIf you ask for sex, he'll probably do it, lol.

ㄴYeah, okay, lol.

ㄴWeren't elves supposed to be strict about sex?

ㄴThat's not true, no.

ㄴSeems like he's strict only with you.

ㄴDamn, seems like it.

There was a man who thought elves were fine, and he would be with them for life.

(Judak) Post it. I'll be the only one to see.

Is it possible?

Can you do it? Haha.

Damn, can you post it privately? Haha.

Are you using the gallery alone? Haha.

While Elf's sculpted hip bones were heating up the gallery, another post appeared.

Title: "Sleazy Bastards."

(Roughly translated: Sexy Dark Elf, Eye-catching Butt.jpg)

They act all mature in front but are promiscuous behind.

Our Dark Elves are always confident.

Kya haha.

Damn, that Dark Elf's butt is no joke.

(Judak) I want to grow up and become a Dark Elf! I want to grow up and become a Dark Elf! I want to grow up and become a Dark Elf! I want to grow up and become a Dark Elf!

What are you doing, you idiot? Haha.

Haha, how can you grow up and become a Dark Elf? Haha.

Isn't this guy a Dark Elf?

Actually, isn't he an Elf? Seriously, haha.

The gallery was peacefully running as usual.

A peaceful gallery indeed.

"…You think you can identify the people in the auction house? Judak. Do you think you can escape from your tricks?"

Someone laughed and logged into the auction house.
