We had already achieved our purpose in coming to Vietnam.
However, it felt like a waste to come all the way to Vietnam and only drink sticky rice vodka.
Blankly-
Park Kwangnam still had a vacant expression.
Minhyuk asked him.
“What’s the most famous tourist destination in Vietnam? Let’s go see it before we go to Korea.”
Then Park Kwangnam reflexively answered.
“Ha Long Bay is the most famous.”
.
.
.
Clatter-clatter-
Seagulls flew in flocks.
Minhyuk arrived at Ha Long Bay with Park Kwangnam.
It took about 3 hours by car from Hanoi.
“It doesn’t seem like much.”
“This is the pier. You have to take a boat to get to the real Ha Long Bay.”
Thump-thump-thump-
The two took a passenger ship and headed out to sea.
Then, small islands floating on the blue sea unfolded before their eyes like a picture.
Ha Long Bay was a multi-island sea area designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There were nearly 2,000 islands floating on the 120km coastline.
Korea also has Dadohaehaesang National Park.
However, this place had a completely different feel because of the tropical climate.
“Wow, it’s really amazing!”
Minhyuk exclaimed as he looked at the large and small islands from the deck of the passenger ship.
Not only their sizes, but the shapes of the islands were also different.
Some looked like fish, and others looked like human faces.
Those islands were densely packed together, creating a dreamlike landscape.
“If you come to Vietnam and don’t see this, your trip will be in vain.”
Park Kwang-nam wore a proud expression, as if he were an ambassador for Halong Bay.
After a while, the passenger ship landed on a fairly large island.
They got off the ship and explored the island.
There was a cave with stalactites growing inside, and there were also floating houses where the locals lived.
“It would take more than ten days to see all of the islands here.”
However, they could not stay that long.
“I’ll have to come back again when I have more time.”
Min-hyuk and Kwang-nam toured Halong Bay for three days and then returned to Hanoi.
And from the airport there, they arrived at Incheon Airport.
When they came out to the airport lobby, Park Kwang-nam handed something to Min-hyuk.
“The money left over from the alcohol purchase.”
It was the leftover dollars from buying the rice wine.
It was over ten thousand dollars.
Min-hyuk put the dollars back in Park Kwang-nam’s pocket.
“I gave it to you to use, so if you have any left, it’s a bonus.”
“What kind of bonus is over ten million won? Did I do something difficult?”
“You worked hard. You can have it!”
“This is so strange.”
“It’s not strange money, so don’t worry and take it.”
Park Kwang-nam hesitated for a long time before nodding his head.
“Okay. I’ll use it well.”
“I’ll contact you later if I need your help again.”
“Sure, and don’t just contact me for work. Let’s meet up for a drink of soju sometime.”
Min-hyuk parted ways with Park Kwang-nam and returned home.
As soon as he got home, he transferred the mysterious power contained in the small refrigerator to the large refrigerator.
Then he sat down on the sofa in the living room to relax.
‘Home is the best!’
Min-hyuk checked his bank balance with his cell phone.
＜Balance: 8,013,342,435 won＞
The dragon’s salivation auction had been completed.
Cosmetics conglomerates, perfume specialty stores, and individual collectors had participated in the bidding in large numbers.
In the end, a cosmetics conglomerate was decided as the successful bidder.
The winning bid was 55 million won per kg.
Thanks to the fierce bidding competition between conglomerates and collectors who were determined to win the dragon’s salivation, which was the first to be discovered in Korea, the winning bid was set higher than the market price.
As a result, after deducting the auction commission, more than 8 billion won was deposited into Min-hyuk’s account.
Since it was a large-scale auction, the commission was also expensive.
However, there was no need to be stingy with the auction commission, as he had earned much more than the market price of 6 billion won.
‘8 billion won…’
Min-hyuk looked at his bank balance again and again.
He couldn’t believe it even after looking at it.
‘Now I’m really rich.’
It was the same money, but the cash made from converting the gold coins and the money earned by selling the dragon incense were completely different in nature.
The money earned from selling the dragon incense was from a clear source, so I could use it freely without worrying about the financial supervisory service or the national tax service.
Ring-ring-ring-
My cell phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
‘Who is it?’
I answered the phone, and it was a PD from a broadcasting station.
-Hello, I’m PD Noh Yeong-jin from the KBC current affairs program. I sincerely congratulate you on discovering the dragon incense. There’s a saying that joy multiplies when shared. If you share the good news with the viewers through our broadcast…
Click-
Minhyuk pressed the end call button.
I can’t show my face on public media just because I made 8 billion won.
There will be more similar things happening in the future.
Like digging thousands of ginseng roots in the mountains or picking up thousands of meteorites.
Now that I know how to make money from a clear source, I will be able to do such things often in the future.
So, I had to be careful not to show my face to the public.
If good fortune befalls one person too consecutively, people will start to suspect them beyond just finding it strange.
And there’s no good that comes from being known as having a lot of money.
It would only attract thieves and flies.
Ring-ring-ring-
The phone rang again.
It was an unknown number again.
-Congratulations on the fortune the Lord has bestowed upon you! Please help the starving and sick children all over the world. That is why the Lord has given you this fortune.
Click-
Minhyuk pressed the end call button.
Ring-ring-ring-
The phone rang again.
This time, I didn’t answer the phone and turned it off altogether.
‘How the heck do they know my number and call me?’
I specifically asked the auction site to keep my personal information confidential.
But I was scared because everyone seemed to know and was calling me like a ghost.
I need to change my phone number and move quickly.
It hasn’t been long since I installed an automatic gate on the fence, but this wasn’t the time to be stingy about it.
It would be terrible if robbers broke into my house.
In the world over there, stabbing robbers in the temple with a dagger would be enough.
But in this world, Minhyuk was an ordinary person with a fighting power of less than 1.
If several robbers attacked me, I would have no choice but to be overpowered.
If I’m unlucky, they might empty my bank account and bury me in the mountains.
‘Should I prepare a rifle and bullets?’
Anyway, I’ll move after I accumulate more return time.
It took more than a week to consume the return time this way or that.
So, there were about five days left now.
‘Let’s pay off the debts.’
There was more than 30 million won left of the debt that Minhyuk borrowed in his name because of his father’s hospital expenses.
Five years ago, when he was in debt, he couldn’t get a loan from a formal financial institution, so he borrowed money with high interest rates from various places.
Then, while working at the factory, he was able to get a credit loan as a salaried worker, so he switched to a formal financial institution.
The debt, which had been hanging like a millstone around his neck for the past five years, felt more like a life partner than a burden in life.
Minhyuk repaid all the loans without leaving a penny.
He had finally parted ways with his nemesis-like companion.
‘My heart feels so refreshed!’
The amount wasn’t very large, so it wouldn’t have been a big problem to repay it using the cash obtained by converting the gold coins.
However, there were many times when he had no choice but to make expenditures that would leave a record, such as vehicle leasing or online purchases, so he had put off clearing the debt as much as possible.
But now, he could spend tens of billions of won as he pleased.
‘Now that I’ve made money, should I try to earn some time?’
This time, he had definitely recharged his body and mind.
He had traveled to Busan and Vietnam and even cleared his debts.
So, let’s focus on hunting dragons again.
If he succeeded in his first dragon hunt, he would earn a whopping 30 days of return time.
Minhyuk came out of the house.
Then, he went up to the back of the truck, put his hand on the refrigerator, and said,
“Return.”
Pow-
With a flash of light, Minhyuk returned to the annex of the mansion.
Barrin ran to Minhyuk and said,
“I may not be able to kill the dragon, but I have found a way to hold it still for a while. I can make a snare with Charon’s potion pouch!”
Barrin tied two belts of potion pouches together in a knot in front of Minhyuk.
“This is a knot that sailors use. The knot tightens as you pull it, so it will never come loose until the rope breaks.”
“So, you’re going to connect the belts of the potion pouches really long with that knot?”
“Yes!”
There were 200 spare Charon’s potion pouches.
If they were connected with knots, they would make a rope about 200 meters long.
The rope would never break because of the indestructible nature of the potion pouches.
If they made a snare with that rope and put it around the dragon’s neck, they would be able to restrain it.
“It doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to make the snare, but the problem is putting it around the dragon’s neck.”
“Yes. I will look for a way to do that from now on!”
While the blacksmiths were researching ways to put a snare on the dragon, Minhyuk prepared other things.
One of them was combat rations.
He had learned for sure during the last expedition that food supplies were just as important as weapons and armor supplies.
Minhyuk moved to the kitchen in the main building.
There, Tres, Verona’s father, was diligently making something.
“It’s done! I made one as you instructed, Commander.”
Tres placed a fist-sized round bread before Minhyuk.
It wasn’t regular bread, but a filled bun.
Cooked meat and vegetables were wrapped in bread, so it could be eaten by hand without the need for a bowl.
Minhyuk broke the bread apart.
Crunch—
Hot steam rose from the inside.
It tasted very good after taking a bite.
“If you put eggs or seafood instead of meat and use different seasonings, you can create a variety of flavors.”
It may be combat rations, but it would be better if you could enjoy a variety of flavors.
“Make several different kinds.”
“Yes, Commander.”
If the buns were later refrigerated and made easy to mass-produce, soldiers would not have to waste time and energy on cooking during battle.

Before he knew it, 30 days had passed as he devoted himself to preparing for the expedition.
The princess emerged from the underground tomb.
Chirp, chirp—
Birds sang in the Imperial Palace garden.
Minhyuk drank donicha with the princess.
He had been very busy with preparations for the expedition, but he made time to keep a promise he had made to her in the underground tomb.
Gulp—
Minhyuk took a sip of donicha.
‘It tastes just like coffee!’
The brewing method was different, so it was different from the Americano he usually enjoyed.
However, the original taste and aroma of the coffee were the same.
“These are the seeds used to make donicha.”
The princess showed Minhyuk the seeds.
Greenish-yellow grains shaped like beans.
They looked exactly like raw coffee beans.
Perhaps if these were roasted, espresso extracted with 9-bar pressure, and then mixed with water, it would become Americano.
If successful, he could also make iced Americano, which Koreans love.
He would have to refrigerate the iced Americano made in this world later.
After finishing her tea, the princess stood up and said,
“I must also keep my promise.”
She gathered her vassals and officially declared her abdication from the throne.
.
.

BAM-
The sound of trumpets echoed through the plaza in front of the Imperial Palace.
Minhyuk’s coronation took place with the citizens watching.
An Emperor’s crown was placed upon his crimson hair.
Wow-
The citizens cheered.
A message popped up in front of Minhyuk’s eyes.
＜You have ascended to the throne as the Emperor of Asdel.＞
＜All the citizens of Asdel are now under your command.＞
＜When the citizens under your command succeed in hunting, your return time will be credited.＞
Minhyuk shouted to the expeditionary force soldiers stationed in the plaza.
“We shall depart for the Helkan Mountains in search of the Dragon’s Tomb this instant!”
