The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 20 - Trading
Several days have passed in the world of Re:Life.
In the corner of my status menu window is the number 05:41:17.
That is the time limit for using these rental capsules. In other words, I have been playing Re:Life for 6 more hours. Because the world of Re:Life runs 10x faster than the real world, it affects me a little bit mentally because I have not been used to playing for a long time.
First, I started to feel sleepiness in this world even though I didn't need sleep.
The second one I feel hungry. Yes, in a virtual world where players do not need to eat, I feel it. Although some foods give buffs to status but I do not really care about it because it is quite expensive. After eating boiled potatoes my hunger in this virtual world subsided a little.
Last but not least, maybe just my imagination. But I started not to care about the monsters I summoned like before. At the beginning I had this ability, I was willing to make my body a shield so that they wouldn't die.
But now?
I continuously called them and sold them to the players who came to me inside the mine. The mining area that I occupied was quite large and I had given minimal illumination in the form of torches.
It's true what the adventurous man I met 3 days ago said. Many adventurers would be interested in a tame subordinate.
In these 3 days I made more money than I could have imagined.
For each small goblin that has not been given a sigil, they can sell for between 3 and 5 silver depending on how well the buyer bids the price.
As for the goblins that I have given sigils can sell for up to 20 silver. Naturally, their strength was much greater.
As an experiment, I tried to give the sigil 3 times to 1 of the same goblins. The results are amazing. His body became as big as a human, maybe a little bigger. The muscles present in his body were extremely stocky and their growth status was not inferior to that of a human.
Giving 3 zigils on 1 goblin increased the goblin's rarity from Normal to Epic. Making these originally weak monsters become equivalent to players in terms of growth status.
But unfortunately when I tried to give it a sigil for the fourth time, the system gave a notification that I could not do it. In accordance with the description of the skill that exists that I cannot give a small sigil to a monster that is already at the Epic level. However, I am satisfied with the results of the tests I conducted.
One of the adventurers even bid this Epic level goblin for 2 gold. Without a second thought I immediately let go.
2 Gold coins is equivalent to 200,000 Rupiah. If it is withdrawn into real money, after taxes then I will receive about 70,000 Rupiah. Yes, it almost covers one-third of the cost of a 12-hour capsule rental just from a goblin.
My total income for these 3 days?
I didn't count how many goblins were sold but I have currently pocketed 31 gold coins. A very fantastic number. If I dilute it into money I'll get about 1,000,000 Rupiahs. More than my salary yesterday.
Although I really like the current condition, I can't let my guard down either.
Just in case of a con man or of a murderer, I kept 200 goblins in my Soul Container.
Right, some of my skills have improved since I did this mass summoning.
My level also continues to rise by leaps and bounds. Even though the goblins I summoned had followed others, I still gained EXP from the hunt done by them. Although it has now only become 10% because the goblin has 2 masters. But it's not a problem.
In the end my level skyrocketed quickly from level 24 to 35 in 3 days in the game world. What a result that made myself cringe.
"Now that my monster sales business is going very smoothly, I guess I'll be out of the capsule for a bit to secure the money I have." I muttered to myself.
I'm still traumatized about the Straf incident. That's why I don't want to take any risks.
I gave the order to the 2 Epic-level goblins that I did not sell to relay to the customers who came to wait for a while. They play an important role as a guard if something unwanted happens. After that I immediately Log Out.
The capsule door opened slowly. If it is felt again, this rental capsule is more convenient than I have. But something is upsetting me. Loan time went on even though I was outside. I immediately locked the capsule I rented and left the capsule room.
'Sneaky ground' I thought to myself.
I immediately headed to the money exchange lobby. The number of people in this lobby is very crowded. Most are in the 'Buy' transaction section or exchange real money into digital money in the world of Re:Life.
'Not once yes they, have the rest of the money to use in the game.'
I'm honestly a little jealous of this sight. But I immediately steadied my heart and queued up in the 'Sell' section'.
The queue is long enough. Even though there are 20 more officers in the 'Sell' section I still have to wait for 15 minutes until my turn arrives.
"Please enter your identity." Said the attendant softly while showing it to the computer screen that was in front of me.
After filling out all the data regarding my account, the officer confirmed my transaction.
"Is it true that you will exchange 30 gold coins in the game?"
"Yes, right." Answer's short.
The officer then typed something on the computer in front of him. Then a moment after that there was a very melodious sound in the ears.
'Bbbrrrttt'
Money counting machine tool sound.
"After tax deduction, the money you will receive is Rp. 1,220,000. Please, Mr."
'Not a bad number!' I thought in my heart.
The female officer handed the money to me with a smile. I immediately left the place and kept the money in the Waistbag I always wore.
After the money-safety business was over, I immediately returned to the capsule and prepared to serve the next customer.
