episode_0026

The auction house had a significant impact on the entire continent.

On the flip side, within a short period of time, tens of thousands of gold coins came in as commissions, only to flow out as payments for cola and cider.

The popularity of cola and cider was steadily rising.

However, as a result, the situation where the balance was dwindling gradually emerged.

The temporary measure devised to delay this was the sale rights.

─Title) But we don’t have to buy this, right?

Do we really have to buy it?

ㄴIf we don’t, will we be at the mercy of other countries?

ㄴThis is what power is, lol.

ㄴIt’s a power game across the continent, lol.

ㄴYeah, you can’t even eat chicken, lol.

ㄴIf you want chicken, pay up, lol.

ㄴWow, seriously, lol.

ㄴYeah, we’ll eat~~ You guys can suck on your fingers~

ㄴYeah, my fingers are delicious~~

ㄴCannibalistic gays…

ㄴDid you eat people because of your pride…

ㄴJust call it sale rights… think of it as power

ㄴThis is a power that influences the continent’s political situation

ㄴWait, you can buy power with money??

ㄴIt’s hard to ignore anything that helps even a little bit in acquiring power

Title) Can’t we just copy things like chicken or pizza?

Oh?

ㄴIt’s harder than you think

ㄴThere were some failed attempts

ㄴWhy can’t we?

ㄴYou just have to put in some effort

ㄴSpicy chicken ramen = Pure production failure

ㄴIt’s not just about making something spicy, it’s subtly complex and not easy to make

ㄴCombining spicy ingredients is not an easy task

ㄴYou need an alchemist for that, lol

ㄴAlchemists would lose their sense of taste making spicy food, lol

ㄴHmm, is this sauce right?

ㄴUgh…!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha… slurp… (1 liter of milk in one shot)

ㄴFor real, lol

ㄴJust the thought makes me nauseous, lol

ㄴCan’t get the sauce and cheese combination right for pizza

ㄴEven though they managed to make pizza, it’s a quality issue, yeah

ㄴAnd the cost is damn expensive

ㄴIt cost 2 gold to make one pizza

ㄴ2 gold, lol, seriously, lol

ㄴThat doesn’t include the time, equipment, labor costs, etc., lol

ㄴIt’s purely a matter of ingredients, lol

ㄴTruffles << You can't even find these damn things

ㄴIt's not easy to find truffles, and you want to make pizza with them??? lol

ㄴSharpening knives with gold, lol

ㄴTomatoes << These are also hard to come by

ㄴUntil recently, no one grew them because they thought they were deadly

ㄴFor real, lol

ㄴHow much are tomatoes at the auction house, lol

ㄴ23 silver, lol

ㄴWhy can't we do chicken?

ㄴThe taste just doesn't come through

ㄴIt doesn't taste like the natural flavor of chicken, it seems like something added… I don't really know

ㄴEven when fried, it doesn't taste right

ㄴEven with expensive spices, salt, and pepper, it still doesn't work, indicating a more complex production process

Title) The problem even after the bidding ends

There are 4 items but 7 countries

ㄴHaha, 3 places will be eliminated, lol

ㄴWhat are you talking about, 6 places could be eliminated too, lol

ㄴAh, damn, lol

ㄴAll countries disqualified for chicken, lol

ㄴYeah, as long as it's not me~~~

ㄴIt's like a 1/7 lottery game, damn

ㄴThe odds are higher than you think, right?

ㄴIs it worth it?

ㄴThis guy is out of his mind, lol

ㄴThis dude, lol, it's not a high chance of 1/7

ㄴGambling addiction gallery, lol

ㄴSo, how is our region doing?

ㄴHaha, no one knows

ㄴWhat is the Elf Queen doing!!!!!!!!

ㄴWhat about Magearos!!!! Demon King!!!!!!!!

ㄴArudel… gave up, yeah…

ㄴArudel doesn't even have expectations, lol

ㄴDo they have a lot of capital? x

ㄴAre they good at diplomacy? x

ㄴResult: Spicy chicken x, chicken x, pizza x

ㄴDamn lol

ㄴArudel is reliable~~ lol

ㄴSo, are they watching the bidding now?

ㄴYeah, it's tricky to jump in hastily

ㄴFrom the perspective of each leader, it's really confusing

ㄴNot buying this? People will be angry lol

ㄴBut buying it? The burden is 100 times greater lol

ㄴThe bidding price is insane, how can they buy this lol

ㄴOh, it's so confusing

ㄴWhere is the instigator of this event?

ㄴThis guy must be watching the chaos lol

ㄴSeriously lol, it's obvious lol

─Title) Now, a bit of fear

What will this guy do next?

ㄴHe's just obsessed with trolling lol

ㄴHe's good at messing with others

ㄴIf he makes a move, the continent will shake

ㄴAt this point, isn't the continent unstable?

ㄴOh, geez lol

ㄴSeriously lol, it's like shoddy construction lol

ㄴAh! So the continent is really light, that's why!

ㄴIt's a continent problem lol

─Title) Isn't there something strange about the continent?

This guy is just like, hmm; what should I do. And then wobbles lol

Just by opening an auction, the continent's economy moves

By selling cola, the food culture changes

Now, by selling a new item, the entire continent is in a bidding race

ㄴ?

ㄴLooking at the list, it seems like they might fall for it?

ㄴHow are they going to deal with this, damn lol

─Title) So, if they sell this, will the auction house problem be solved?

ㄴHuh?

ㄴThe guy isn't saying anything

ㄴIsn't it solved once it's resolved?

ㄴNo one knows lol

ㄴIt could be just a temporary measure

ㄴWe might not know the details?

ㄴThey have to explain it for us to know, yeah

What is the instigator doing now?

The instigator had no thoughts at the moment.

"I am a mushroom."

Will the auction house problem be solved? If they know that, they must be a mathematician.

It was just an action done without any thoughts, like trolling.

Who plans to troll like they do?

However, there were some concerns.

"Hmm…."

They need to gather money, but the ways to do so are limited.

So, they need to find a way to secure points separately.

Buying a one-year pass might just be a waste of money.

Should they raise the auction house commission or find another way?

"Hmm…."

The contemplation was brief.

That's one thing, but it's frustrating to miss out on the bidding moment.

Since they don't seem to have the intention to bid now, they should observe the situation.

If it's Jutdak, they should show their face in the bait.

Jutdak's trolling always involves planting the seeds of someone's evil nature.

─Jutdak

Title) Bidding completed

[Golden Fried Chicken Selling Rights]

1,500,000 gold

ㄴWhy did you bid, lol

Jutdak) I'm cold… lonely…

ㄴDamn lol

ㄴYou bid 1.5 million gold for this reason??

ㄴPlease

ㄴOh please, lol

ㄴStop it, we're all dying!!

ㄴYeah lol, you can die lol

ㄴGallery suicide mode on lol

ㄴWhat if they don't win the bid?

ㄴJutdak) I won't win? lol

ㄴDamn lol

ㄴThe devil of mind control, lol

ㄴHonestly, everyone is just watching and waiting

ㄴIs it time to buy at the lowest point now? lol

ㄴCome on lol, buy now lol

ㄴIs the Elf Tinker not bidding?

ㄴPlant Druid) Where would I get that kind of money…!!!

ㄴI wasted my youth

ㄴTsk tsk, if I save 50 gold a year, well, what can I say. I just need to live for 24,000 years

Plant Druid) How do you live for 24,000 years!!!!

Damn lol

He's probably already rotted and turned into a tree lol

Leaf Soil Gallery lol

Still, it's pitiful if you bid with retirement funds… retirement savings, you know

Plant Druid) I have enough retirement funds,,,! No, I haven't aged!!!!!!!!

lol

Mix in a little lie and it flows smoothly lol

Yeah lol Grandma's gonna do it lol

Retirement funds are enough… note…

-Demon Lord

Title) Demon Lord also wants to bid~

-Hero

Title) Looking for a Hero Party…!

Those with a lot of money to bid…!

lol

The conditions have become really harsh lol

It would have been milder with the previous conditions lol

No, who has 1.5 million gold as a pet's name lol

If you have 1.5 million gold, you could probably create 10 Hero Parties lol

On the contrary, if you have 1.5 million gold, can't you have a hero?

Oh

Hero (Fake)

What do you do with him?

Let's send him to the sealed ancient demon

lol He has no intention of saving him

You're really something lol

lol Spending 1.5 million gold to creatively kill people lol

Title) Went to the bank to bid

But when I asked to borrow only 1.5 million gold, I got slapped and kicked out…

Crying with a beer at the neighborhood chicken skewer restaurant…

What is this guy doing lol

Has common sense gone out the window lol

1.5 million gold looks like shit lol

Who's gonna lend you that lol

Title) But can't we bid?

?

lol How do you gather 1.5 million gold

Even the rich guys probably have at least 50,000 gold

Right?

If they all gather? It's possible, right?

lol Really coming up with all sorts of ideas

lol Let's do it right now

Title) Summoning of the Demon Tower Meeting

Why now?

The Demon Tower has a lot of money too

Are they trying to bid for something?

What are they going to bid for?

Elf slaves

Elf slaves lol

Did you really buy elf slaves?! Are you in your right mind?

Damn, use that money to buy chicken lol

Hey asshole lol Why are you buying slaves in this day and age lol

Buy me some mint chocolate in my area

Why would you eat that?

If you eat it, you don't have to brush your teeth

Just brush your teeth lol

It's gonna rot, you son of a bitch!!!!

Oh, if you eat this and brush your teeth, it's twice as good

Do you even know what brushing your teeth is?

Stop before you break your toothbrush lol

If you eat this and suck on it, it might feel cool and nice, right?

Try it?

Try it yourself

?

Hey.

It's not reaching;;

It won't reach, damn lol

You're amazing for imagining that it would reach

Will it reach, you bastard lol

If it was a little longer, it would've been perfect

Oh, it's 35 centimeters…

Damn lol

It's 35 centimeters and perfect lol

Title) Demon Tower Lords are gathering one by one

Seriously, something seems to be going on, right?

ㄴJust meeting to talk about magic

ㄴBut then most Baektopju don't come

ㄴBecause the races are all different, they don't gather well

ㄴEspecially the Matopju are a bit strange

ㄴThey're missing a few screws, right?

ㄴSpending all day in a room for decades studying magic, can they be in their right mind? lol

ㄴI don't even study magic, but I've been in a room for decades…?

ㄴHuh?

ㄴWhat.

ㄴWhy are you talking about me.

ㄴDelete the comment…

ㄴSuddenly feeling bone-chilled…

Title) Breaking News: All Matopju Gathered

They gathered at the Cheongtopju ㅇㅇ

ㄴReally?

ㄴIs this related to the recent incident?

ㄴWow, all Matopju gathered. What day is it today?

ㄴNot a holiday?

ㄴIs that all they do when they gather lol

ㄴIs it a holiday?

ㄴWell then, bring the cards first and let's play poker

ㄴHoliday rules lol

ㄴThen let grandpa be the dealer

ㄴYou son of a b*tch lol

ㄴNo, you shuffle the cards lol

ㄴGrandpa has experience, he's good at it for real

ㄴExperience is important lol

ㄴ?? : Stop acting. I've seen through your tricks

ㄴIs this a rural holiday or a casino lol

ㄴIs this… a holiday…?

ㄴThe holidays I knew were…?

ㄴWe start with a fistfight when we meet

ㄴFists are f*cking funny lol

ㄴThe holidays of the demons are a bit different ㅇㅇ

ㄴYou borrowed money and didn't pay it back lol

ㄴWe just don't get along, that's why we fight lol

ㄴHaha lol can't resist the holiday gambling

ㄴSo what did the Matopju do when they met?

ㄴThere was no news at all

ㄴWhat could it be

ㄴJust fought and left?

ㄴProbably had a drink

ㄴlol can't resist the drinking

ㄴYeah lol

When the owners of the Matop gather, what do they do.

The answer was surprisingly simple.

"Oh, that Baektopju is pretending to be noble again. Want me to beat him up?"

"Oh my, a Jeoktopju. I didn't know you were here. It's a bit dark here. Dark elves don't show up well, you know?"

Instead of a warm greeting, curses were flying.

"Ahem. Shouldn't we stop this?"

"Why? It's fun to watch. Let them fight until they get tired."

"This is our tower!"

The Cheongtopju snapped back.

Why did this happen on the day they gathered at the Cheongtop?

There was no intention to quietly watch the fight between Baektopju and Jeoktopju.

If these two fought, the area around them would be devastated!

With exceptional magical skills and a sense of combat that was unmatched, the Cheongtopju would disappear from the map.

The Cheongtopju quickly brought chairs with magic and had them sit down before moving on to the agenda.

"We didn't call you here for no reason."

"…Hmph."

"Then what reason did you call us for."

"We have an opportunity to trade with the Empire under favorable conditions."

Everyone perked up at the words of the Cheongtopju.

Mages were always short of money.

It was common for dozens of mana stones to evaporate with just one experiment.

But now there was an opportunity to earn money?

It was a promising story from their perspective.

"What opportunity?"

"I talked to the Emperor. In exchange for our trade with the Empire, they will reduce taxes for the Cheongtopju."

"Oh."

The Noktopju exclaimed in admiration, but the reactions of the Baektopju and Jeoktopju were cold.

"For free?"

"It doesn't seem to be free."

"Of course it's not free. It was a condition that they would do it if we paid."

"…?"

Did I hear that right?

In the end, isn't it about paying money to save money?

"What's the point of that?"

"It doesn't seem like we have any meaning to follow."

"No, we should follow."

The words of the Cheongtopju were almost certain. They were so confident and suspicious.

Is there something… fishy going on with the Cheongtopju?

Unlike their usual fights, the Baektopju and Jeoktopju were getting along well now.

The power naturally flowed into the staff they held secretly.

"What do you mean we have to follow?"

"…Tell me honestly."

"We need your help."

Cheongtapju laughed openly.

"We won't be using our money!"

"…?"

Although it was still a confusing statement, Cheongtapju seemed to have something in mind.

"There are many nobles in the world. To put it briefly…."

"You're really obsessed with money."

"No, it's about magic. You need money to research magic."

"But it's a plausible plan, isn't it?"

"Not bad."

"There might be some things we each need to do, but we can definitely save money."

"That's true…."

"It's fine."

Everyone agreed to his wicked plan.

"Then quietly spread rumors to the nobles."

It was the beginning of the operation.

***

While the gallery spent peaceful days adorned with pictures of the dwarf grandmother and the soft inner fur of the giants.

Social gatherings were held regularly in any country.

A social gathering was a place for those with money or high status.

Successful entrepreneurs and nobles wanted to socialize among themselves.

Among them, the nobles shared 'exclusive information.'

"A new investment opportunity has emerged this time…."

"Led by Matap…."

"But isn't the risk too great?"

Matap guaranteed it. He said he would replace any losses with Matapju's scrolls!"

"This is really hard to endure…."

As soon as the story spread, it was no longer just their own story, but they didn't think deeply about it.

Wouldn't it be enough to fill their intellectual vanity and boost their self-esteem?

The nobles boasted of their excellent information network, raising their noses.

"Hmm…."

"It's a good deal…."

"I completely understand."

Most of the nobles who heard the story nodded as if they understood, even though they knew nothing.

It was to show that they naturally understood this much to protect their pride.

Oh~ I completely understand. It was natural to show the appearance of understanding (not understanding).

Their way of life was a mess!

What nobles usually do.

They have nothing. Since they have nothing, they appear at a fake social gathering, indulging in drinking and socializing.

They hired people to manage their territory, and even had a modern system of exploiting the residents.

Money came in automatically from hunting in the territory and they lived lavishly on taxes.

They lived busy lives, eating the beans of others.

This time, they were once again thinking of sucking honey from others' information.

"Ah, indeed, you are a viscount."

"There is no one to trust but the viscount…!"

If you follow the noble cartel, your assets will grow rapidly.

There was no need to think for themselves.

Through academic, social, blood, and smoking connections, the tight-knit noble cartel provided everyone with fair opportunities!

"Hmm…."

Of course, a few realized that the rumor spreading among them was poisonous.

They smiled broadly and acted with the political skills and tactics they had accumulated so far.

"Oh… my goodness, what a great deal."

"Haha, I must participate right away."

Politely rejecting, 'Oh~ I won't invest~' was a high-level tactic of turning the conversation.

After that, they drank like fools.

There was no need to explain to the real fools.

The rumor that spread through the social circle soon spread and a fund was completed.

Title) Breaking News: New Fund Established

Sales Rights Fund Already Raised 1.8 Million Gold

– No way, haha

– Are you kidding me, haha

– So they use this to purchase sales rights and make a profit?

– Yes

– Their influence has grown again

– What happens if this is auctioned off?

Selling to other countries, right?

Or they'll find a way to exploit the core to the bone.

A gambling arena, lol.

Everyone calls it the money-making hour, lol.

Are these guys really from Matap?

Is that so?

The Matap guys made this?

They called the White Tower and the Red Tower, who bite and tear each other apart just by facing each other, to create a friendly fund together?

The guys who spend all day locked up in their rooms doing magic research are causing a stir on the continent, lol.

Haha, read a whole novel.

Title) Fund Breaks 2.5 Million, lol

Damn, how far is this going?

Lol

Wait, how much money did they gather?

Crazy, lol

If you bid once, you'll be in financial trouble, lol

Screwed, lol

Yeah, the Empire is already screwed, lol

Yeah, lol, the Kingdom is screwed, Marceros is screwed, and Terin is screwed, lol

No country has won, lol

Title) The Sole Victor

Juttak << Wins while eating chicken skewers

Juttak… is it you again?

Turning the continent into enemies and saving cola and cider… that's the 'answer,' right?

Lol, that's right, it's the answer, lol

Where did all that money come from?

It must be the nobles, lol, obvious, lol

Since the nobles are squeezing money out through taxes, in the end, aren't the commoners the ones losing?

It's not a wrong statement

But let's sell cola cheap, lol

Seriously, lol

Wealth redistribution, lol

But it probably doesn't matter, right?

What are you talking about?

Even if this didn't happen, the nobles were squeezing taxes like crazy, lol

What the hell, lol

These bastards, lol

Lol, on the contrary, the auction house was established, and the commoners breathed a sigh of relief

Yeah, it's easier to trade, so the income is more stable

Tax evasion is also possible, lol

Oh, lol

Let's keep that quiet, lol

Yeah, lol

Let's save quietly while hiding it, lol

In the end, there's no harm from the commoners' perspective, right?

Title) Auction Mess….

[Spicy Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles License]

– Bid Price: 1,723,991 Gold

[Mint Chocolate License]

– Bid Price: 130,291 Gold

[Pineapple Combination Pizza License]

– Bid Price: 2,139,281 Gold

[Golden Fried Chicken License]

– Bid Price: 2,818,725 Gold

Is this really worth it…?

They're really crazy, lol

But why mint chocolate?

That tastes bad

Lol, it had a weird taste

Something else? I understand, but mint chocolate???

I wonder who bid for mint chocolate

I really don't know, lol

Beyond bidding and investing, now it's speculation and madness.

The price of the Golden Fried Chicken License continued to rise.

– Bid Price: 281,000 Gold

…283,000 Gold

…292,000 Gold

…

..

There was someone operating in the world of crazy bidding. It was the Emperor.

"Ugh…."

By trading with the Matap, he reduced the risk, but the essence of the auction is to buy good items at a low price.

The Emperor understood this well.

"I have to bid as cheaply as possible…!"

Tick tock.

– Bid Price: 3,129,391 Gold

"Rather kill me….!!!!"

He must win….

Tick tock tick tock tick tock.

With bloodshot eyes, he threw himself into the bidding competition with his physical strength until the last moment of bidding.

Efforts to purchase at a slightly lower price!

The result was sweet.

"I did it!!!!!!!!!"

He strategically obtained the Golden Fried Chicken while saving as much money as possible!

The emperor couldn't contain his joy and held hands with Ersha, who was beside him.

"Finally! We did it!"

"Congratulations…"

And so, the bidding frenzy in the gallery came to an end.

Now, who benefited the most from this chaos?

Surprisingly, it was Queen Beatrice of the silent Osan Kingdom.

Despite that, her expression was grim.

"…Well, well. How far did you bid?"

She muttered.
