31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 135)
Janet appeared in a somewhat unusual way..
snowfall asked her.
“What is that toad, and what are the decorations on its body??”
“These are all the things I bought this time. How are you? Are you okay??”
“That big toad too?”
“Yes, all noble merchants ride such elegant creatures..”
“…You don't understand..”
“Human common sense may not be able to keep up. Well, I understand you too..”
Kang Seol did not have the aesthetic ability to praise the sight of a toad sliding down its tongue..
“Is that like a trend in that world??”
“It's similar, right? That may seem funny, but do you know how much it costs to maintain? Well, I take it with me for the taste..”
“Have you suddenly become wealthy? It was a simple outfit before.….”
“Becoming wealthy? I guess it's similar. Haha, I guess I looked like a rich man.?”
“a little.”
“Oh my, be honest. hmm… I can't deny that my pockets have become fat since I received a commendation..”
“commendation?”
Janet boasted with a grin..
“I think I had the highest trading volume among brokers. actually… It has to be that way. Even if other civilizations can squeeze it now, it's not much... hmm? Stop talking about this.”
“Another civilization? Squeeze?”
“So, stop. If you disclose information without permission, you will be scolded from above..”
“Aren't you the kind of person who pays attention to what others think??”
“I usually do that, but I still have to pretend to listen to the old guys sitting above me. They are ghosts who have lived hundreds or thousands of times longer than me..”
“Hmm….”
Snowfall was able to infer a little of the situation through the information Janet gave her..
‘I guess madness isn't limited to Earth or related worlds.….’
I felt like there was something even worse, but there was nothing I could do about it if I found out right away, so I asked another question..
“The fact that the trading volume is at the top... Are you saying that Janet traded in that much madness??”
“of course! ah! Of course, I also have your thanks..”
“my… virtue?”
“yes. A little bit about your existence... I was told about it.”
“You mentioned my name?”
“To those wary of me, I mentioned that you were one of my business partners..”
“…Did it work??”
“Well, who wouldn't be tempted by the story of a human with over 3 million points and the amount of madness he traded exceeding 10,000? Thanks to this, we have been able to easily find new business partners and the conditions have improved..”
Although Kang Seol was appalled, he had no intention of finding fault with her because the benefits he gained from doing business with her were significant..
In any case, Kang Seol and Janet are bound by a business relationship. As long as a good deal was made, everything else was a trivial matter..
“By the way, why did you show up without even tearing up the invitation??”
“Well, I didn't say that it would only appear by invitation. They can show up when they want to make a deal, but they can also show up when I want to make a deal, right??”
“I have nothing to say.”
“I enjoyed what happened in the labyrinth..”
“…Are you watching everything??”
Janet opened her mouth, made a surprised expression, and laughed..
“of course! We brokers don’t just do transactions every day, right? On days when I'm not working, I observe you like residents of another world. Observing you is both work and simple interest..”
Observe to figure out what you want. Also, as I observe, I become fascinated..
The middlemen were a truly unique people..
“What happened to you in this labyrinth... Perhaps a little more weight was placed on the latter..”
“…….”
“On a funny note, your story is rolling off the tongues of middlemen..”
“I'm saying it's being used as a source of gossip..”
“Well, isn’t that wrong? But that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad for you..”
“then?”
“Now, more brokers want to do business with you. Among middlemen, there are some eccentric people who only sell products to people they like, right? Usually, such people deal in a lot of unusual items. What do you think, aren't you excited??”
“Well, it doesn't really make sense. If that happens, wouldn't Janet's position be in jeopardy??”
Janet asked back with wide eyes..
“Me? Not at all.”
“why?”
“Last time, the brokers who came to compete gave us a lot of rumors. There is a strong bond between Janet and Snowman..”
“Was there?”
“It was my first time hearing this, but I just closed my eyes and nodded a few times and everyone looked up to me. Hahaha! Idiots… . Anyway, I'm comfortable. Rumor has it that now everyone has to go through me to sell things to you. pay a very small fee.”
“Is that how much you want to do business with me??”
“Not only am I curious about your story, but middlemen also have their own status. The more you deal with big players, the more your internal reputation increases... Well, you can think of it as how well-known customers you can attract is directly related to your status as a broker..”
“Is it that much??”
“Yes, thanks to this, Snowman also has a higher chance of getting a good deal. You will be amazed when you see what I brought you today..”
“Well then, let me show you..”
“Do you mean this?!”
Wow!-!
In an instant, a market on a scale reminiscent of a five-day market unfolded..
Products nicely displayed on the stall. Of course, checking these one by one would be something only an amateur would do..
Rather than walking around and looking at actual items, Snowfall replaced the sightseeing by looking at the list listed on the interface..
Swoosh- swoosh-
I didn't even look at things I didn't need..
Madness was a scarce resource. So, the things that had to be obtained here had to be things that were very difficult to obtain outside or that were currently unobtainable..
Sreuk…
“Oh, and the bag of food ingredients I bought last time. It doesn't work properly in the labyrinth..”
“…….”
“Do you have anything to say about this??”
“…Well, the product we were dealing with at the time was a low-priced model, so we found that it sometimes didn't work in special situations..”
“So what you want to say is.”
“We will replace it free of charge. So will you be satisfied??”
“It's enough.”
Snowfall flashed a devilish smile and chose the most expensive bag of food ingredients on the list..
[A thorough bag of food ingredients]
Level: Insanity
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: Prevents food ingredients from rotting or spoiling. The temperature can be set for each compartment of the pocket, and there is quite a lot of storage space. However, it must be a food material that can be cooked, and certain types of food materials cannot be stored. An improved version with internal defects corrected..
“ah! That's a high-end model.….”
“…It's a high-end model?”
“Maybe that’s why it suits you so well. I guess the entry-level version is a bit like that.?”
Afterwards, Kang Seol even asked me to strengthen various spice containers to rare level..
After that, I went down the list again..
“This and this... And even this.”
“There are a lot of rare poisonous plants, right? Ah, I roughly know where it will be used..”
“Yes, and again… hmm?”
One item that caught Snow's eye.
‘see this here?’
“There is also a sachet of love-hate deer….”
“like! As expected, it's taken away right away. This is the only item I could find..”
“how much is it?”
“2It's only madness.”
“…It's very expensive.”
“It'll be worth it. Do you know how to use it….”
Janet opened her eyes and looked at Snowfall. Kang Seol answered.
“I know.”
“It's good.”
After buying this and that, my list was filled up quite well..
Snowfall was scrolling down the list to see if there was anything else to look at and found something..
“uh… this?”
“What is it??”
“Biometal ingot, this is what I'm talking about.”
“Yes! You just happened to pick something quite appropriate..”
The biometal ingot was an item that could be made from materials obtained from a special demon beast of Pandea called the Armor Rat..
The armor rat is unique in that it covers its body with armor-like leather, which is surprisingly strong..
Many people tried to utilize the skin of the armored rat, but there was only a small amount of by-product from one armored rat, and armored rats were not very common..
Despite such adversity, what was collected and smelted in a certain quantity was the living metal ingot. The effect was as follows.
[biometal ingot]
Level: Insanity
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 100kg
Special Ability: An ingot made by smelting the skins of numerous armored rats. It is effective in increasing the pure destructive power of the weapon. It does not apply to the Exalted grade, but can be applied to sacred, abominable, sacred, and madness grade equipment..
Janet said triumphantly.
“This too is 20,000! how is it?”
“How much room can I afford for my madness now??”
“Let’s be still… Snowman's madness now... hmm… I took this out, took that out, um… Ah, it's out..”
She answered, scratching her head as if it were a ridiculous shame..
“11It's 17,000..”
“Then give me that much.”
“…yes?”
“Biometal ingot, I will buy that much.”
“Now, just a moment. what? I have that much ingot right now.….”
When Snowfall looked at Janet with disappointment, she protested..
“This is incredibly rare! Because it’s me, I’m handling 300 kg.….”
“…….”
“Well then, just a moment! wait a minute!”
Pusss…
Janet appeared to be contacting someone while engulfed in red haze..
“uh… It's me, hurry up….”
“No, right now? Our juniors are deaf….”
“I'll call you the spatial coordinates now.….”
And after about 5 to 10 minutes.
Whoa... Whoa whoa…
The space opened and two merchants appeared..
“senior! I was dealing with a senior, but you came in a hurry.!”
“What should I do if he suddenly asks for the one thing I have?!”
A young man's voice and a young woman's voice with a different feel from Janet's. It was another crazy merchant..
As soon as they came, they looked at the snowfall..
“like… That man is that?”
“Okay, I usually watch it well..”
“Anyway, guys, just give me what I have to give.!”
“Sheesh… Just suck up all the sweet water.”
“therefore! It's complete tyranny, tyranny. Tyranny of Colossus!”
Janet said, trying to calm down the anger rising to the tendons in her neck..
“later… I'll make room for you later.”
“I have always respected you, senior. I'm done.”
“Hmm, after all, he is a friend who knows morality. See you again, Snowman! A little more savory later! please!”
5 ingots are listed.
“I can't give you a discount on this, it's something I can't sell because I don't have it.….”
“it's okay.”
“Well, next time, I'm hoping you'll call me first! Thank you again for the good deal, it has been Janet so far.!”

It has been about 20 days since the snowfall arrived in Audenin..
People were talking about some of the information that had been revealed about the events that took place in the Labyrinth of Asceticism..
And now, Snowfall has entered the Adventurer's Association and is looking into such matters..

[Title: Gugugu… You guys know that?]
(Current situation) It is said that the Labyrinth of Asceticism has disappeared to another area, but it is not yet clear where it has gone..
- That was already 3 days ago…
- My current situation is very slow haha.
- time difference… Googoo... It's time difference, you bastard... coo…

[Title: Gugugu… The information provided by the coalition to the community is?]
(Breaking News) The Alliance has opened its mouth regarding the Labyrinth of Penance. Surprisingly, they have posted an official letter of cooperation and adventurers who are already moving to other regions are actively spreading information in exchange for a small amount of money..
- I already know that too…
- Don't talk to me! coo coo coo!
- But where can I see the official document of cooperation??
- If you look at it, it's hard to understand what it means..
- Oh, I summarized it for you, but wait… Show new posts.
(New)['Newbie Cute''s post]
[Posted date: just now]
[Title: A short summary of the contents of the request for cooperation from the Audenine Guild Alliance, which is re-starting the business because newbies did not see it..]
1. The members of the Audenin Guild and the last ascetic they invited challenged the Labyrinth of Asceticism that was formed near Audenin three times in total. Of these, 2 failed and 1 succeeded. However, the successful attempt resulted in the highest number of deaths..
Five Audenine Guild members died as a result..
2. It is impossible to give a detailed explanation of the trials of the Labyrinth of Asceticism. Not out of competition, but out of consideration..
If you leave shallow information that cannot even be called a strategy, someone will use that as an excuse to enter the labyrinth of asceticism..
The rewards in the labyrinth are poor compared to the trials, and the difficulty of the trials is beyond imagination. So don't waste your time and don't go in..
I'm leaving important information in case I get an invitation and a lot of people show up..
3. The adventurer score of Park Chang-sik, who was the leader of the strategy group, was in the low 1 million points at the time, and the adventurer score of the last ascetic who entered together was in the mid 3 million points..
I, Park Chang-sik, could not be of any help, and the 3,000,000-point ascetic also suffered countless times during the ordeal. all the rest are dead.
And what I confirmed at the final gate was a monster that was much more powerful than that 3 million point ascetic, and heavenly luck was able to reach and defeat that monster, but I saw it at the end of the labyrinth..
On the side of that monster, the image of the last ascetic is carved..
Therefore, we have ruled that the attack is impossible at this time and hope that this information is widely disseminated..
I emphasize once again.
don't go in.
Don't be foolish enough to go to the grave just because you're curious about death..
- Eh? I really write it like this?
- ㄴㄴ Originally, I wrote this in 3-4 times the length, but I shortened it.
- Come haha
- You can't read this kind of knowledgeable writing. lol
- Wow, but then the latecomer in the labyrinth loses money.?
- If you don't want to lose money, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go in..
- Then I think I will lose my life..
- So, you lost 4 months on your strategy group? Haha, it's sesame salt..
- That doesn't increase your score haha. The last ascetic who went to the labyrinth now has over 5 million points..
- Seup… How strong is it? Are you that different from me? The higher the score, the higher the unit price?
- Answer.
- I can't refute your logic. I won't be picky from now on.
Kang Seol was satisfied with the alliance's actions after conquering the labyrinth..
‘now… If you go in, you are guaranteed to die..’
You must have at least 10 million adventurer points to avoid struggling at the final gate..
Of course, it was difficult to guarantee that too..
Kang Seol turned his eyes again to check out the various aspects of the community. But then, a familiar nickname came into his field of vision..
‘…hmm?’
The letter-shaped icon near the nickname flashed. It seemed like there were other letters as well, but Kang Seol clicked on one nickname to check all the messages sent by that person..
