    Episode 43 – Festival 2 –

    The Imperial Academy’s festival was held.

    Imperial Academy Festival, one of only three times when an unspecified number of outsiders are permitted to enter the Imperial Academy of the Helium Empire.

    In a way, it may have been natural for people to flock at such a time.

    Still, this was a bit harsh.

    ‘No, regardless of the fact that Korea University is a prestigious university, I don’t think there was this much crowd of people during the festival… ‘

    A huge crowd gathered at the festival.

    A huge number of people, as many as an entire division had come to see the consolation performance, were gathered at the entrance to the academy.

    This means that the festival is bigger than I expected.

    Since the academy itself has never been launched at WFS, it failed to predict its scale.

    Of course, there are many advantages.

    This is because we have already prepared a lot of items.

    Because there are so many people, the ones who suffer are the employees.

    If we had seen this size, we would have been able to sell more.

    It is unfortunate that we failed to predict the scale.

    “ character. Enjoy the raffle where you can win the black dragon’s claws as a prize!!!”

    Booths filled the playground.

    And he displayed the encyclopedia through a magic electronic display board created with the help of Lucas.

    “So this is working?”

    “Uh. Are you sure. It’s a proven business pattern.”

    “I can’t understand it with my head? No, you can’t see it if you look right?”

    “Jewelry has no practical use at all, but women really like it when you give it as a gift. It’s a similar concept.”

    The most important thing here was the general item.

    The reason why Complete Gacha is distributed through mobile games is simple.

    Unlike games where you just have to sell pieces of data made up of 0s and 1s.

    This is because there had to be that much goods in real life.

    People who get hit by the complete gacha aren’t crazy people either.

    If I pull it out and nothing comes out, I never buy it.

    So the strategy I chose was simple.

    First, add a lot of ordinary-looking accessories and equipment.

    Wooden sword, wooden spear, iron sword, etc. They bought a large amount of cheap equipment and put it on a newsstand.

    Of course, there are more people than expected, so it seems like it won’t be enough.

    In this case, you can use a promissory note.

    A lot of cheap equipment prepared like that.

    It will be a great foundation for my gacha.

    “But there’s something I don’t understand. How much do these cost?”

    “1200 Baht.”

    “But the drawing cost is 10,000 baht. If you pick a 1200 baht ticket, wouldn’t you definitely hate it?”

    That is correct.

    In the end, people will not continue if the losses are greater, no matter how much they incur.

    But here’s something else I’ve learned from countless fraudsters in Korea.

    “The best thing about Comple Gacha is that it draws the opponent into it. They don’t really have to give it away, but they bury it because it looks like progress has been made.

    However, if what you get from your investment is too trash, then of course you won’t buy it. You may not know the first time or two. So I prepared two strategies.”

    “What is it?”

    “You said this cost 1200 baht, right? But the drawing cost is 10,000 baht. If this happens, there will be people who end up losing money in the beginning and leave after only trying it once or twice.”

    “It’s a common sense response.”

    “But once you select it, do you know how much it will cost? I don’t know. So, wouldn’t you be curious to know how much this sword costs?

    In the beginning, it’s not yet buried, but at least you’ll be curious.”

    “uh.”

    “So I asked other guys to sell me a sword identical to this one for 15,000 baht.”

    “1200 baht?”

    “Why. It’s the seller’s opinion. Even if you raise 10 baht to 100 million baht, the seller is satisfied. It is up to the buyer whether to buy it or not.”

    If you pick it up, at least you feel like you didn’t lose anything.

    And if you feel like you will get huge benefits if you keep picking.

    People keep picking.

    Without even knowing if it was a loss.

    So this method is perfect.

    But Lucas, listen to my first strategy.

    He made an expression that clicked his tongue.

    What why what?

    “I did nothing wrong. There are no legal problems and I have never deceived anyone.”

    “You sold it much more expensive than the original price.”

    “Distribution margin. There are also cases of profiteering through distribution margins, so it can be said to be such a case. If you’re tempted, you shouldn’t buy it.”

    “If you don’t study properly, where on earth do such thoughts come from?”

    Items that will be eliminated individually on their own.

    They fit together well and fit together well.

    That’s why I’m invincible.

    “Then what is the second method? How much crap have they prepared?”

    “Tell me? At least this is the normal way.”

    This is a method that has not been specifically mentioned in Korea.

    “Collect all collectibles and you will receive Black Dragon’s Claws for free!!!! The first three times are free!!”

    The first three times are free.

    The first three chances are free.

    This strategy is based on replacing promotional expenses with free drawings.

    Since it’s free, people will flock to it and everyone will vote.

    And, of course, there is a high probability that something different will pop up all three times.

    then? Even if you know that it is not the case, you unconsciously assume that probability is the advantage.

    I drew it 3 times and won all 3 times.

    Did you even profit from it?

    So, the thought of pulling out more and pulling out all of them comes to mind.

    Without knowing that it was a trap.

    ‘There are only three dragon claws, so in terms of probability, I will never lose.

    This was announced in advance, so no one can say anything. ‘It’s absurd to think that it will continue to come out.’

    Just as scammers continue to evolve in Korea.

    I also evolved.

    If you punish me by applying a heinous crime.

    I will defraud consumers by taking something that seems obvious and making fools of them.

    Above all, there is something huge hidden in this scam.

    There is a low probability that there will be someone who succeeds and receives the dragon’s claws.

    There are clear success stories.

    The case was like a Ponzi scheme, and the person who benefited would become my lawyer.

    ‘During the Ponzi scheme, there were no legal issues and the circumstances of the fraud were clear, so the person was punished.

    It’s hard to even call this a scam. It’s closer to gambling.’

    Of course, I deliberately kept the probability of certain items very low.

    This is the result of my promotion.

    Countless people were coming to my booth.

    Since it was free, I decided to try this first and then enjoy other things.

    “This sounds fun? Free for the first 3 times?”

    “Yes. Can you explain?”

    “Uh. How do you do it?”

    “This special magic tool contains a random exchange ticket. As you can see from the fact that all the magic tools look the same, I don’t know what’s inside.”

    “Oh, I understand! A mix of good and bad rewards, right? It’s actually a gamble.”

    “Yes. But then, doesn’t that feel a bit disappointing? Think about it. Some people have good things, but some people have trash. Of course, isn’t it unreasonable?”

    “Well, someone might think it’s unreasonable.”

    I got caught.

    “Yes. If a bad product pops up, you will naturally feel bad. I spent money, but it actually failed. So I improved this.”

    And when those words were heard.

    Other people’s ears perk up.

    I meant to see what I had to say.

    “There are a total of 25 types of exchange vouchers prepared. There is a special reward for those who collect all 15, 20, or 25 types of exchange vouchers.

    And if you collect all 25, the reward is… Dragon’s claws!”

    If you see this far, you might think it’s just ordinary.

    But I, Abraxas.

    A person who has experienced the commercial arts of modern Korea.

    A wind catcher was hired in advance.

    “Oh! Then, even if it’s a cheap item, I can happily receive it. That item will also be treated as one type of exchange voucher.”

    “Yes, that’s right!”

    Let the wind catcher catch the mood and read the script naturally.

    The perspectives of people around you change.

    When windbreakers see this, they further push public opinion towards a specific area.

    So that even ordinary people are deceived.

    “Then isn’t it a benefit? At least nothing is thrown away, right?”

    “If you go later, you can buy cheap weapons at a high price to get dragon claws. Haha!”

    “Try it… Is it beneficial… ?”

    “Dad! Let’s do it! I think it would be good to do that well!”

    And the thugs got caught up in my plan.

    The Comple Gacha was not added to the existing lottery.

    Although this edition itself is for Comple Gacha.

    Since they don’t know that fact, they will think I am conscientious.

    Because I even used the voucher as a weapon.

    It is also impossible to buy a similar weapon and cheat.

    Rather, vicious commercial elements are packaged as something for the benefit of consumers.

    This is commerce.

    And Theseus, who was watching everything from behind, said to me.

    “Like I said, don’t suggest investing to me.”

    “No, I don’t have the courage to tease the next Duke. Friend.”

    “Who was the one who quarreled with the war hero, the president, because he did not want to join the princess’s faction?”

    “Shutdown.”

    Even though our conversations are taking place in secret.

    People were slowly flocking in.

    Some people are tempted by the idea that it’s free.

    I make a declaration to drive a wedge into this.

    “First 100 people get 3 free tickets! After that, the first time is free!!”

    free.

    Even if you do, you will not suffer any loss.

    If you don’t do it, it’s a loss.

    Even limited?

    There is an element that makes people crazy.

    Examples include super special prices, close to sold out, and limited editions.

    This does not give time to make a rational decision since time is limited.

    As a result, it leads to impulsive consumption.

    “Give me three right now!”

    “Let’s give it a try!”

    “Hmm… this… ”

    “Dad! Let’s do it!”

    Several people stand in line one after another.

    The black hat that looks roughly like a two-minute comma, like the kind an ordinary magician would wear, is turned inside out.

    Light white light leaks from the mouth of the hat.

    A man puts 10,000 baht into it.

    The hat lights up and spits out a voucher.

    “Ohhh!!”

    “ came out!!”

    “Me too! I want to try it too!”

    “You made it well.”

    Usually, I don’t pay much attention to design for practicality.

    Design and performance are also important when making money.

    This is because in Korea, there were people who insisted on using a cell phone that was inconvenient to use for emotional reasons.

    They say the camera is good, but they don’t seem to know that the camera from 10 years ago uses the latest phone camera.

    “What is this?”

    “I don’t know?”

    Similar exchange vouchers were issued from most people.

    Most of the equipment is cheap.

    The original price is 1200 baht.

    “So what a good product this is… ”

    “It comes from 10,000 baht, so it must actually be lower than that… ”

    Of course, people are not merchants.

    Few people know its value.

    “So where can I get this exchanged?”

    “You can get that from over there. I tied it all together.”

    So, I guide you to the place I told you about in advance.

    A general store.

    But in reality, they are academy cadets whom I paid money to hire.

    This is a possible strategy because there are quite a few commoners who do not have money, regardless of their social status.

    “Oh? This is 12000 Baht.”

    “Mine is 30,000 baht!”

    “The odds are better than I thought?”

    “How much are you worth?”

    “Ah. Mine is 2000 baht. That’s bullshit.”

    “What about you?”

    “9990 Baht.”

    “The above statement is true. With only 10 baht in profit, what are you going to use it for?”

    People don’t realize that there is still a distribution margin.

    Therefore, I think it leaves a 10 won margin.

    For reference, the cost of all these materials does not exceed 2,500 baht.

    “Huh? But where is mine?”

    And one person asked me:

    The exchange voucher that person was holding was a slightly different voucher.

    “Ah. We handle that at our store. What about the golden border?”

    “Really? Do you think it’s something special? I’ll take a look. So what is Oultenfesk’s little dagger?”

    Oultenfesk’s small dagger.

    The item, which was obtained at a fairly high price on the black market, was revealed.

    It has a price tag of 800,000 baht.

    “800,000 baht? Is it worth that much?”

    “Yes. It really is. Sell ​​it at the market. Of course, you won’t be able to get exactly 800,000 because it’s based on shipping.”

    For reference, the cost of that item is 800,000 baht.

    If you cheat even on valuable items, you will easily get caught.

    There is a big difference between losing 200 won and losing 2 million won.

    “Ho? then… now. for a moment. Can you take on more challenges?”

    Usually, people who make this much money don’t try again.

    Because I have already seen the benefits.

    It is similar to the strategy of exiting immediately when the jackpot hits when gambling, and the only profitable strategy is to do so.

    However, if you use the complete gacha method, it will be different.

    You’ve already succeeded in obtaining something rare.

    I guess I just need to collect those?

    The items I collected would at least be the closest I got to those dragon claws, right? It makes me think.

    That’s why even those who have benefited try again.

    This will result in overall losses.

    The law of large numbers.

    The opposite of this is that if the number is small, the probability may change.

    The way to solve this error is to run it a lot.

    Because odds don’t lie.

    “Sleep! I also have two left!”

    “I also have two left!”

    “I haven’t played it once yet, so three times! Please give me everything! There aren’t even 100 people yet, right??”

    And when you see successful people around you.

    I believe that good luck will come to me too.

    That’s why they try one more time.

    Without even knowing that they were caught in a trap.

    “Good! It’s not that good, but it’s new so it doesn’t matter.”

    “Hahaha! Even though I didn’t come up with anything good, I’m not redundant like you?”

    “Good! It’s worth a whopping 300,000 baht!!”

    A time when people continued to flock like that.

    “Oh? Is this really that beneficial?”

    “Yes. That’s right. His Royal Highness.”

    “Why not give it a try? Brother?”

    “Yes, that would be nice too, Alice.”

    The surroundings became noisy.

    And Moses’ miracles happened to people instead of the Red Sea.

    What separates the crowd are two blonde men and a woman.

    Those faces were both familiar to me.

    “No, just sleep.”

    When I was freaking out.

    The two people came closer.

    told me

    “Can we also enjoy watching Abraxas English?”

    “It’s been a while, Abraxas Youngsik. I think it’s the first time we’ve met since I was deployed. Can we also enjoy watching this?”

    The person who stood before my eyes.

    That person is the first prince of the empire, Eferento Tantalota.

    And it was the second princess, Alice Tantalota.

    Damn it.

    Probability was manipulated according to the tradition of K-games.

    You won’t get caught, right?
