I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 17

Episode 017

Sympathy surged at that sad face.

I tried to say something to comfort him, but he shook his head lightly to shake off his depression.

And I gave this advice:

– If you don’t know the appropriate price, it’s a good idea to put it up for auction.

Ah, that’s right.

The market also had a system called an auction.

I heard that they usually register very rare or high-grade items, but of course I have never actually used it.

In the first place, the only items that non-awakened customers ask our company to purchase are items with very clear uses, such as healing potions or protection scrolls.

Auctions were a method of registering desired items and competing with buyers based on the number of items.

In any case, as he advised, all of Evitanis’ core was registered for auction and all remaining by-products were also registered.

In fact, most of them were Evitanis, and there were only a few monster by-products that could be registered.

This is because Seo Ji-han had a very poor inventory for being number one in the rankings.

Even though his entire body was collected, only a few items were obtained.

Most of what was in my inventory were personal belongings such as his clothes and cell phone, as well as the lion’s scythe and equipment items.

I don’t know if I’ve used all the stat-increasing items for dungeon raiding.

Even so, why is this the only monster by-product?

The monster by-products obtained from Seo Ji-han’s inventory were at most two C-class Chrysanthemum carapaces, six E-class Chrysanthemum legs, and one B-class Chrysanthemum leg.

I’m sure I must have been wiping out the dungeon and slaughtering monsters, so why is this the only item I have?

Is it because I only kill monsters on the way to the boss room?

Still, I think it’s a bit small.

For reference, the items I obtained from Kergis alone are 12 horns, magic stone, carapace, legs, 4 wings, and 1 heart.

Considering that, Seo Ji-han’s monster by-products seemed to be quite small.

Umm.

– why?

Seo Ji-han was wondering why I was looking at him with a fearful expression.

“You don’t have a few items…”

– Looting doesn’t always mean you can get items.

I was a culture shock.

I thought I would always get one or two items, even if they weren’t at the level of getting a lot of items like me, but I didn’t get any at all. Are there times when you can’t get it?

– I’m not that lucky. And I didn’t go in to officially raid the dungeon, so I only caught the guys guarding the path to the boss, so I didn’t kill many. He shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently

.

That’s right.

That’s why I wandered around, rooting all the monsters frugally.

Anyway, after registering in the market and closing the window, I went back to sleep. When

all the items are sold, I’ll have to buy an escape stone with it.

Until then, I have no choice but to live a little anxiously. I don’t think so.

It seems like my feelings were revealed on my face.

– I guess

I’m anxious. I didn’t answer.

– It’ll be okay.

He quietly muttered through my blurry vision.

When he said that, it seemed like it would really be okay.

This is number one in the rankings. Is it the charisma of?

In fact, if such a situation were to occur, Seo Ji-han, who was in a spiritual state, would be of no help, but I just felt vaguely reassured.

– Since I caught the boss and the dungeon was destroyed, it will not open in the same place twice. This place It’s safe. It will take some time for the new dungeon to open, so it’s okay to sleep in peace.

“Yes…”

Perhaps because of his low voice, or because of the warmth of the blanket over his body, the souma attacked with speed.

I impulsively asked a question, drowsy.

“Then why did you go to the boss’s room alone?”

Seo Ji-han did not answer this time either.

I just quietly look out the small window of my semi-basement room.

I thought it looked very lonely, and at some point I fell asleep.

* * *

I was sleeping soundly when my phone suddenly rang loudly.

What time is it?

When I reached out and picked up my phone, I saw that it was not an alarm but a call.

The caller is an unfamiliar number.

“hello?”

As I mumbled the phone call with my throat locked tight, I heard a snarky voice on the other end of the phone.

It seemed quite urgent.

– Is this Son Mo-ah’s cell phone?

“that’s right. who are you?”

This is the Disaster Management Office. I have something urgent to convey to you. Listen calmly.

Disaster Management Office?

What business do you have for me there?

While I was waiting for his next words with a half-asleep head, he told me a shocking truth.

– My mother was caught in a dungeon-generating explosion.

“yes?”

– We are currently investigating the situation, but a new dungeon has been created in Son Mo-ah’s mother’s residential area, and all civilians in the area have entered the dungeon.

My head turned white.

Since then, they have been telling us that they are doing their best to rescue them and providing various instructions, but nothing has been heard.

I don’t know how I hung up the phone.

When I came to my senses, I had changed into street clothes and was rushing out of the house.

I hurried out the front door with only my cell phone and a credit card, but my foot got caught on the threshold.

I tried to stretch out my hand, but I couldn’t move it properly, as if my hands and feet were tied somewhere.

If things continued like this, I was going to lose my balance and fall forward, landing my face on the stone floor.

I closed my eyes tightly and flinched, bracing for shock, but no matter how long I waited, it didn’t hurt.

what?

When I opened my eyes in confusion, I was still lying on the bed.

With my face buried in the pillow.

Eh? what.

I couldn’t understand the situation for a long time, so I just blinked my watery eyes.

So was it a dream?

When I absentmindedly picked up my phone, it said 11 AM.

The call list was all about how I exchanged greetings with my mother last night.

So the whole part about the disaster management office and all that was a dream.

under. thank god.

“I’m surprised…”

The moment I was muttering and rubbing my chest, someone suddenly spoke up.

– What?

“Yes?”

In the direction I heard the voice, there was Seo Ji-han, standing diagonally and looking down at me.

Yesterday, I saw him at night, so he looked like a ghost, but when I saw him during the day, he looked like a fairy of some kind. A

translucent and handsome fairy.

“Ah, hello….”

He bowed his head. He just nodded again.

Maybe it’s because we’ve talked a few times, but it didn’t seem like such an out-of-the-box action as it did the first time.

It’s just that his personality is like that.

“It’s just that the bed is a bit rough.”

– okay? It’s worth it.

Seo Ji-han did not inquire further.

I left him standing on one side and checked the text messages on my phone.

While I was sleeping, several long text messages had arrived.

As expected, it was a government policy text regarding the dungeon creation explosion that occurred yesterday and a group text from the company.

The government policy was to provide information about welfare departments that could receive support in the event of disability or serious injury due to a dungeon explosion.

The message sent by the company was similar in content.

To sum up, our company has been temporarily disintegrated.

Even if I hadn’t quit my job, I probably would have been unemployed.

The dungeon creation explosion killed most of the executives, including the president, and many contracted market managers also died.

Moreover, when I took a taxi yesterday, I saw that all the buildings in the area where the company was located were in tatters, and our office was probably half destroyed as well.

The text message stated that the employee was on unpaid leave until further contact and that the procedures would be re-instructed.

However, there was also information that if desired, they would be treated as unemployed due to business closure.

Closed.

In short, even if these people do something in the future, it will be in the direction of destroying our company, not reviving it.

So, should I check how much of my total assets I have now that I am unemployed?

As I opened the Hunter Market with a happy smile, I saw Seo Ji-han with an uneasy expression glancing at me.

I’d like to ask why, but since I’m a bit timid, let’s move on.

More than that, is this real?

My money is 30 billion won?

To be exact, it is about 29.9 billion won, but let’s roughly say it is 30 billion won.

People may have suddenly been buying dungeon items, so the prices of the items have risen significantly.

Thanks to this, my items were also sold at a high price.

Evitanis’ core was sold at a higher price than expected, perhaps because it was S-class.

Was the auction time set to 6 hours for no reason?

If we competed for a long time, we might have been able to sell it more expensively.

Anyway, I became 30 billion won rich.

Even while looking at the inventory, it didn’t feel realistic at all.

I don’t know if it’s around 100 to 200 million, but it’s 30 billion.

Even if I were dreaming, it would feel more realistic than this.

30 billion.

Wow really. What should I say?

No, it shouldn’t be like this.

There’s a reason you needed money in the first place.

I need to buy an escape seat.

I was excited and searched for an escape room, and the price jumped overnight to 13 billion won.

Does this make sense?

Even a large sum of 30 billion seems like little money to the hunters’ sense of money.

Even if you go into the dungeon and make a lot of money, you won’t have anything left if the escape stones are this expensive.

First, let’s buy one or two escape seats.

I guess the dream I just had made me feel uncomfortable.

I was thinking of keeping one for myself and giving the other to my mom.

26 billion goodbye.

After I made up my mind, my younger brother, Deputy Manager Kim, and his friends suddenly started to care.

However, even if I sell Kergis by-products later, I don’t have enough money right now.

It’s unfortunate, but I have no choice but to just move on.

After buying two escape seats, the remaining money was about 4 billion won.

Still, it was a huge amount of money.

Since I had 4 billion won in inventory, I couldn’t help but laugh like an idiot.
