Helena

Helena frowned as she looked at her mailbox.

The gold that should have arrived for this week’s quota hadn’t come in properly.

Of course, the traders who had been with her since Season 1 were still sending Helena the promised gold.

[Sender: ChickMoney]

[Subject: This week’s gold!]

Thank you for always purchasing from me.

The deposit account is the same as before!

The market price of gold has been rising recently…

Helena stroked her chin as she read the contents of the mailbox.

Not forgetting to send money to those who trusted her.

A sudden surge in the market price of gold.

But Helena wasn’t flustered.

If the price of gold has become expensive, then she just needs to buy it accordingly.

If they don’t want to sell to her, she’ll buy it at a higher price than the other buyers.

It was a very simple solution, but it was also a method with a sure effect.

Of course, if this kind of fight continues, the price of gold will continue to rise, but that was a story that had nothing to do with Helena.

Would anyone notice if you scooped out seawater with a gourd?

Helena immediately took action.

She accessed the trading site, bought all the gold, and wrote that she would buy gold at a price unconditionally higher than the recent transaction price.

Of course, she didn’t stop there. She also contacted individual sellers who didn’t use the item trading site.

Saying that she would buy gold at a price unconditionally higher than the average market price for a certain period.

Exactly 5 minutes or so passed since then.

Helena was able to fill her inventory with the appropriate amount of gold she had to buy today.

Helena smiled as she looked at her inventory.

Whenever she saw the piled-up gold, she was reminded of the face of her friend Yeon, who smiled brightly.

Helena, who was smiling while imagining such happiness, received a message from a stranger.

Asel-[Hello. Helena.]

A nickname she was seeing for the first time.

Helena naturally frowned.

Helena-[Who are you.]

Asel-[I’m Asel, the Guild Master of Satan.]

Satan?

Helena blankly opened her mouth as she looked at the contents of the message.

Because she was reminded of the contents of the war she had seen earlier.

But why did he send her a message?

Helena rubbed her forehead and continued the message.

Helena-[What’s the matter?]

Asel-[I heard that you are buying up a huge amount of gold. I’m sorry to ask, but could you stop buying for a moment? The price of gold is rising too much.]

Helena-[No.]

An answer of refusal that didn’t even need to be considered.

What’s the problem with buying as much gold as she wants?

Asel-[… It’s because of the war funds. Aren’t we the same Demon race? Please be understanding.]

Helena-[No.]

Asel-[If you continue to buy in that way, the price of gold will continue to rise… Both sides will be harmed.]

Helena closed the message window.

She had expressed her intention to refuse twice, but the other party didn’t give up.

There was no longer any value in continuing the conversation.

That was Helena’s judgment.

Chalkeurang-!

Chalkeurang-!

Helena continued to trade, stuffing the gold arriving in her mailbox into her inventory.

Then, at some point, the transactions that were arriving for Helena suddenly stopped.

Helena, tilting her head wondering what was going on, was able to discover that the message window was constantly flashing.

Asel-[You’ll regret it… Let’s see how far you’ll go.]

She’ll regret it?

What is he talking about? Helena didn’t understand the meaning of the message Asel sent.

“Heueum-“

A languid sigh flowed out.

Helena modified the contents of the post she had written on the trading site.

She immediately raised the price of buying gold even higher.

The fact that the transactions that had been coming in well had suddenly stopped meant that an opponent who was buying gold at a higher price than her had appeared.

If so, then she just needs to raise it even more.

Helena raised the price without hesitation.

The market price of gold was 30% higher compared to the previous day.

Helena raised the purchase price by 10% from that market price.

The transactions are repeated, continuing and stopping.

After a long time of wielding the golden sword like that, Helena received a message from Asel again.

Asel-[Are you still not giving up?]

Helena laughed lightly.

Rather, it was what she wanted to say.

Of course, she didn’t reply. Because it was annoying.

2 times.

Helena modified the post again.

If she raises it moderately, they will follow moderately.

She has to raise it so high that they can’t even think of reaching it, so that she has less trouble.

Her game experience wasn’t long, but Helena knew well how to use the money she had.

The price of gold soared to 2 times.

Helena didn’t stop trading. If she stopped buying and stopped trading for a while, it was obvious that the market price would drop again.

But Helena couldn’t buy gold at the price she wanted.

Because Asel was also constantly raising the purchase price.

2 times to 3 times.

3 times to 5 times.

An invisible battle of gold.

A chicken game towards each other.

The person who loses first will suffer a huge scratch to their pride.

Of course, Helena had no thoughts.

Helena, who continued to raise the purchase price like that, received another message from Asel.

Asel-[Stop it. You’ll really regret it.]

Of course, she didn’t reply this time either.

About 5 minutes passed in that state.

[The Satan guild declares war on the ChewyCow guild.]

A sudden war declaration message.

The guild chat of ChewyCow began to shake in the sudden situation.

Helena frowned.

It didn’t matter to her if they started a fight with her.

But if it’s ChewyCow, the story is different. A war has been declared on the guild that her precious friend, the person she loves, has been raising with great care.

Yeon, who always does her best as a guild leader.

If her guild members are attacked, Yeon will be greatly angered.

Yeon’s anger was the same as Helena’s own anger.

Flames began to rise in Helena’s usually calm inner self.

Yeon-[What the hell is going on? Is there anyone who has had trouble with the Satan guild?]

SnowMage-[Waaaa!!! Fight!!!!!]

LeeYab-[I’m sending a message to the Satan side’s management, but there’s no reply.]

The quietly burning anger gradually increases in size.

How long has it been?

Helena, who had been quietly lost in thought, slowly began to move her hands.

If the opponent has started to move, then she just needs to move as well.

The post Helena wrote on the trading site was as follows.

[If you kill a Satan guild user and send a screenshot, you will be paid 1,000 gold, or mileage from the trading site equivalent to the gold market price.]

It was simple, but it was something no one could easily pass over.

Helena’s trading grade is VVIP

Using the privileges of that grade, Helena put her post on all the banner ads on the trading site.

Of course, it didn’t end there.

The Satan side declared war first. It’s a situation that can’t be stopped now.

Helena, who turned on the in-game auction house, began to pour out the gold that was sleeping in her inventory.

She doesn’t care about the price. As long as it’s not an absurd price like 100 times or 200 times, she buys it without caring whether it’s 2 times or 3 times the average winning bid.

It didn’t take long for items essential for PVP, such as potions, alchemy materials, and various magical engineering items, to disappear from the auction house.

She buys up the gold she used again to replenish it.

Helena thought. She won’t be easily defeated by pressuring the opponent in this way.

If so, then she’ll hit the bottom.

The information of other guilds that are in alliance with the Satan guild could be easily found on the internet community.

Helena wrote messages to the management of all the guilds that are in alliance with Satan.

The contents sent to all the guilds were as follows.

Withdraw from the alliance with Satan. If you do, I will pay you gold. If you want, I am willing to pay in cash as well.

She’s not telling them to fight with Satan, but simply promising a huge amount of money just for withdrawing from the alliance.

She’s hitting them over the head with a huge amount of money without giving them time to think.

Not many people would reply to this absurd message.

But if even just one person contacts Helena and receives the promised money, then the flow will change from then on.

How long has it been?

Helena received the reply she had been waiting for.

kaokao-[Is that true?]

Helena-[It’s true. I can send it to you right away.]

kaokao-[Really, I don’t have to fight?]

Helena-[Yes. You just need to withdraw from the alliance.]

kaokao-[If you give me the promised money, I’ll do it.]

Helena immediately sent gold to the other party using the mailbox.

She doesn’t think about the assumption that the other party will run away after receiving the money.

Wasn’t she promising a huge amount of gold so that they wouldn’t even think of doing that in the first place?

If it becomes more profitable to break away than to maintain the group, then there will naturally be no reason to maintain the group.

Helena’s prediction was accurate.

kaokao-[It’s real… I’ll withdraw from the alliance as promised.]

Helena waited.

She waited and waited again.

Just like the heart of a fisherman fishing.

After about 10 more minutes passed.

A large exclamation mark began to flash in Helena’s message box.

What she had been waiting for had arrived.

They must have thought it was an absurd lie.

But someone received the promised money.

That rumor would have spread in an instant, and that could bring the result Helena wanted.

Exactly 1 hour has passed since Helena started moving.

The aftermath created by that movement was not light.

The number of alliances of the Satan guild, which had exceeded 10, has been reduced to less than half, and thanks to the bounty Helena offered, many people have begun to join the Babel side’s alliance.

The momentum has completely tilted towards Babel.

But Helena didn’t stop.

She sent all the PVP items she had purchased to the Babel side’s alliance.

After organizing all the situations like that, Helena walked lightly towards the place where her friend Yeon was waiting.

In front of the capital city.

A place where many spectators are gathered.

The cute and chewy Yeon was standing in the middle.

“Yeon-ah!”

“Ah, Helena?”

Yeon, who was standing blankly.

Helena smiled brightly as she looked at Yeon’s face.

“How’s it going?”

“W, suddenly the Satan side’s alliances started to drop out…?”

It’s already known.

Helena turned her head and checked the Satan side’s camp.

A mixture of confusion, embarrassment, and shock.

Only one guild mark remained in the Satan side’s camp, where several guild marks were mixed together.

The intangible golden sword had come right up to their chins.
