Chapter Index

    Some time has passed since a trap was laid to catch a secret society named Enigmachat.

    While I was waiting for my trap to catch my prey, I mostly spent my time lounging around at home or broadcasting.

    Today, I discovered and was playing a dot management simulation game that is considered quite a masterpiece.

    The player found a place in a shopping mall and ran a pawn shop. It was a game where you had to accurately evaluate the value of the items customers brought in, buy them as cheaply as possible and sell them at a high price.

    Click. Click.

    “Sseu-eup… Even if you just look at it, there are a lot of scratches on the outside. what? The material of this is different from the genuine product. Write… There is no quality guarantee either. If this happens, I won’t be able to pay you the full price. How much did you think about it? What, 30,000 won? He’s not a customer, he’s a complete robber. Selling an item with an appraised value of 7,000 won for 30,000 won? Write… Let’s say 4,000 won. 4,000 won. This is something I live at a loss.”

    -3 use hahaha

    -customer? Do you want to hit it?

    -Satala! lol

    -???: Ah, they won’t buy something like this unless it’s here~

    -okay! thank you! okay! Sattala!

    -That’s true, but why does it sound like a bully?

    -The calculations are accurate… A bastard who really pushes himself to his limits… That’s why he’s even more amazing…

    “After buying and selling a few times, I have a rough idea of ​​how much I should bargain for.”

    If you offer to buy it too cheaply compared to the appraised price, the customer will throw away the deal, and if you price too much, you will lose money.

    Based on my experience, I repeatedly reduced the appraised price as much as possible when purchasing an item and inflated it to the limit when selling.

    -If you’re the owner of a store who buys it for 4,000 won and sells it for twice as much, that’s great haha.

    As I watched the chat window being filled with ‘ㄱㅊ’, I displayed the item that I ended up purchasing for 4,000 won with a price tag of 9,000 won.

    “Double? 8,000 won is a bit cheap… I need to get 9,000 won. Although the material is different from the genuine product, it is not a bad material. If you check the in-game news here, it’s a popular design these days, right? If it has a lot of scratches, it can be said to be a vintage style, so someone will buy it.”

    -No, the appraised value is 7,000 won haha.

    -Are you crazy? lol

    -This is a very different story from when you bought this person’s items?

    -They immediately raised the price to more than double.

    -This is a pure scammer.

    -scary…

    -I would have been successful even if I had run a business.

    “Uh huh, 9,000 won is nothing. ”

    By repeating the purchase and sale of used goods in that way, the money quickly increased.

    Once you get used to buying and selling things, the game eventually repeats similar situations over and over again, so the play time wasn’t long.

    A customer who begs to buy a cheap item at a higher price because he still needs money, a customer who asks to wait without selling it until he gets money for it because it is something he has been desperately looking for, a merchant in the same mall who asks to check if the item he received as a gift is genuine, etc. It was a game that showed efforts to reduce player boredom by creating various events.

    And there were several different endings related to those events.

    The ending I chose was the one where I made a huge amount of money and bought the entire shopping mall where the pawn shop was located.

    The so-called building owner ending.

    It was one of the endings that was quite difficult to see because the amount of money required to see the ending was truly enormous.

    When I first opened a store, I took out additional loans on top of the debt I had and bought and sold whatever I could. The operation was based on a method of raising money using lump sum money raised through debt.

    This is a play that is possible because the interest is not high, perhaps because the player is prepared for not being able to balance the purchase and sale prices well.

    Thanks to this, we were able to see the ending scene where the character purchases a shopping mall and looks up at the building with pride.

    [Usanjoa donates 1,000 won!]

    -Hey, I see this ending. It’s an ending that you can only see if you buy everything at the lowest price and sell it at the highest price.

    -Scrooge ending

    -I’m tired of debt.

    -I was honestly surprised when I was pulled into the loan pool.

    -But I didn’t know that I would pay it all off and even buy the building.

    -It’s a complete hardship ㄷㄷ

    “Jaringobira? Do you know that I burned hundreds of millions of dollars just to film content? How difficult was it to find a sports car in perfect condition? Now that I think about it, it seems similar to the game I played today… ?”

    Actually, it wasn’t that hard because Maria took care of all the annoying parts, but I was a bit harsh on purpose.

    Viewers couldn’t even deny that.

    -Oh, that’s right.

    -Brother, let’s do content at our school too ㅠㅠ

    -I’m tired of the sports car flex lol.

    -I really wish they would do it in Korea too.

    “Is that so? I don’t have any plans right now, but it would be fun to do similar content in Korea in the future.”

    Those words were spoken casually, and the chat window was instantly filled with cheers and emoticons.

    If you think about the odds, the people who are currently watching my broadcast are unlikely to participate in such content, but they are happy that there is something new to enjoy. The content I filmed may not be known to other countries, but it was quite fresh in Korea.

    After watching the ending, I interacted with viewers for a while and then ended the broadcast.

    “Well then, let’s end today’s broadcast and get into it. See you again on the next broadcast!”

    -It’s been a while since a game like this isn’t bad.

    -It was nice because it was calm haha.

    -bye

    -So when is the next broadcast?

    -See you tomorrow

    Recently, I played a lot of VR games and Minecraft dungeons for the purpose of promoting Dream Vision, and it seems that there were viewers who missed this feeling.

    I stretched out loud and called Maria.

    “Maria, please give me a list.”

    “Yes!”

    I heard Maria, who was in the other room, answer loudly.

    Unlike me, who needed a computer and a cam to stream games, her streaming was a virtual video, so she felt very free. The ability to multitask has already been strengthened, and the program can be broadcast remotely through superpowers, making it possible to broadcast 24 hours a day if you want.

    However, if she broadcasted like that, even the most devoted viewers would inevitably miss something in her broadcast, and rumors could spread about AI and all, so it wasn’t a very good idea.

    And the broadcast time that was already adjusted was close to 12 hours a day, so the related community was treating her like an android with steel stamina.

    ‘I’m treated similarly, but… ‘Because I was originally known to have good physical strength.’

    After a blink of an eye, a small window appeared in my field of vision like a hologram.

    After the successful promotion of the fake secret society called Cyphers and EnigmaChat, Maria and I were able to identify a larger number of secret societies than we expected.

    The list I just asked her for was a list of secret society members confirmed through Enigma Chat.

    I clicked my tongue as I looked at the list of dozens of names.

    “Eolssi-gu. They are coming out one after another.”

    “It seems that they also wanted a means of communication that was not monitored by the government. It is not difficult to eavesdrop on or steal a normal phone call or text message.”

    Of course, no matter how thorough the security was, there were not many cases where truly important conversations were held on messenger services where only the names of the company and the president were known. Even if we investigated the known company and its president, we wouldn’t have been able to find out anything.

    Although that may not have happened, there was a part of him that was cautious because it was clear that he would suffer great damage if something happened to Enigma Chat if he carelessly leaked the organization’s information.

    If it weren’t for the bait called Cyphers, even if Enigma Chat had been created, no one would have used it.

    However, once they became certain about security, they started using EnigmaChat for simple transactions and conveying instructions.

    Excluding the usage fee, it was strange that they insisted on not using it, as it provides a safer and more convenient service than existing methods.

    “The list we have provided is the result of an in-depth investigation and cross-verification of those who had suspicious conversations. Although I couldn’t find out the name of the secret society, I was able to figure out roughly what direction the organizations were headed.”

    “You wouldn’t have mentioned your organization’s name carelessly or saved it somewhere. That’s enough for now. If you monitor the people on the list, you will be able to find out about all other gang members.”

    The ‘in-depth investigation’ that Maria is talking about here was not simply hacking a terminal and digging up information.

    Based on her newly acquired superpowers, Maria was able to use the terminal under her control as a kind of relay to hack other electronic devices around her.

    Smartphones running Enigma Chat infect nearby electronic devices like zombies.

    In the end, if it was a secret society, it was inevitable that Maria would reveal everything just by being curious about Enigma Chat and using it.

    I waved my hand and erased the hologram floating in front of my eyes.

    “If we find out information about the entire secret society or if we see people doing disturbing things, let’s get rid of them first.”

    “Yes!”

    A thought suddenly occurred to me as I was about to start hunting for secret societies in earnest in real life.

    I think reality is also somewhere in a novel.

    It’s something I’ve thought about before, but as my power grew stronger and my horizons broadened, I felt like it might be possible.

    ‘Then I guess I am the main character with these abilities.’

    It wasn’t a very nutritious idea. Whether it was a novel or not, there was no reason for my way of thinking or behavior to change. Earth writers are famous for their poor probabilities, so even if it were a novel, it probably wouldn’t be a very famous work.

    Maria called me while I was lost in such strange thoughts.

    “Master, do you like movies?”

    “Movie? I don’t hate it.”

    I used to enjoy movies quite a bit, but since I got the tickets, I haven’t been to the movie theater for a while because my reality is often more exciting than the movie.

    Still, I didn’t completely lose interest, and at travel destinations such as Tuseonhyeophaengrok, I saved movies on my terminal and watched them to pass the time.

    “A collaboration proposal has been received regarding Dream Vision. In Hollywood.”
