The Legend of Return
Chapter 304. Poor accident
“At least 100 gold coins per piece? Huh…”
A watch worth 500,000 won skipped a dimension and became a luxury item worth hundreds of millions of won.
Swiss luxury watches also bowed down to Made in Korea here.
Following the dwarf product, it was transformed into an elf product.
I didn’t deny Sabina’s confident words.
“Elf …..”
Elf was the only race he wished to meet.
I wanted to see if she was as beautiful as Nova’s girlfriend, the Elf Queen.
“I love you fiercely in subspace!”
The magic of sub-space that gave grace so that a 500,000 won item could become hundreds of millions.
“We need to change it to gold as well as waste magic crystals.”
After the global financial crisis, gold prices plummeted.
However, in 2020, the price of gold soared again due to the Great Depression-level crisis.
The 2018 global trade war between the US, China and Europe was the beginning.
Trump, who was trying to target citizens in the industrial zone in the United States with the goal of re-election, did not hesitate to commit imaginable gangster acts.
China warmly contributed.
As it became more affordable, it penetrated the semiconductor field, which was monopolized by advanced countries.
However, the technology was lacking.
In the same way as in the past, they gave permission for factories in China and demanded semiconductor designs.
In addition, it sued a US semiconductor company in a joint venture with a Taiwanese company in a Chinese court.
Behind the scenes, he was frantic about stealing talented people.
Various blueprints and advanced technologies were transferred to the barrel.
Crucially, it stole information about American stealth fighters and turned them into Chinese ones.
Intellectual property rights, which advanced countries had difficulty acquiring, were stolen through hacking and intimidation.
In other words, it was a state-led fraudulent business, not a corporation.
The U.S., which hurt its pride, threw a slap in the face.
Without understanding the topic, China was closed for a long time.
It was a trade war that started like that.
Of course, it also brought damage to Korea.
With the imposition of tariffs, an unexpected spark spread to exporting countries.
Trump slapped tariffs without distinguishing between enemies and friends.
The Korean economy, which exports intermediate goods and parts to China, was also influenced by China.
On the one hand, while praying for the ruin of the company, when the damage came to the company, they blamed the easygoing government.
I completely forgot about the behavior of the chicken and mouse that emptied the national finances for nine years.
They did not understand or wait for the fact that the government’s finances and national driving force cannot be restored overnight.
It was a trillion-dollar national debt inflated during nine years of rogue government.
Businesses lived on loans, and people went all-in on real estate, aiming for a shot.
Instead of saving for the future or the economic situation of each individual, consumption was encouraged by the atmosphere.
All of them went on overseas trips and enjoyed spending to their heart’s content, not knowing that the national treasury as well as their personal safes were empty.
All the while, smart asset owners hoarded and saved cash.
Like several IMF times, I felt that the time had come when I could inflate my assets at a tremendous level in one shot.
In 2018, the global economy fluctuated more than the 2008 financial crisis.
The potential insolvency, which had been suppressed by the dollar printer demanding quantitative easing for 10 years, exploded.
As a percentage of nominal GDP, the Wilshire 5,000 stock is overvalued at an all-time high.
Then, in an instant, the crash began.
Smart money quickly exited the stock market.
Late or foolish money fills the spot, causing a surge in rotational speed.
Hundreds of people cheering for Trump’s madness flocked to the stock market.
Over $10 trillion of money disappeared like ghosts at the end of 2018.
A shock comparable to the 1998 emerging market crisis hit like a hurricane.
Emerging markets are in crisis after Venezuela, which lost even the world’s No. 1 oil store.
Chief among them was India.
India’s state-owned banks have been hit with bad debt of over $200 billion.
A bank run has begun.
The crisis spread like wildfire to all directions, including neighboring countries.
There was no winner in the trade war between the US, Europe and China.
The case of intellectual property theft caused by an ignorant and brave Jjanggae became a huge storm.
So, more gold was needed.
The only shield against the dollar printer was gold, the eternal king of goods.
“This is more realistic than currency in a virtual world that can’t be captured.”
It seems that this is why people in the past spread cash on the floor and put valuables in the crock pot or buried them in the ground.
It’s because of human instinct that it’s safe to be able to hold it in your hand.
“Should I wash it again today?”
It was snack time.
He fiddled with the gifts of the Orc warriors in his hand.
In order to become stronger, mana that can be converted into inner energy was required.
The crisis from the jjokbaris and jjanggae gradually touched my skin.
It was obvious that we would meet soon, hot and steamy.
Jangcheon’s father, a high-ranking government official, didn’t seem to stand still as he confirmed his son’s behavior.
“They said that orcs swallow magic stones. Then some of them die…”
Through Talman, he obtained information about the Mana Stone.
The magic stone was a mysterious object the more I looked at it.
Most were the size of duck eggs.
It was too big for a human to swallow and would rip open their mouths or choke their throats.
However, the Orcs said that if they catch demon beasts, they will swallow them first.
And the one who survives the process acquires mana and learns how to handle it.
However, humans did not work as well as Orcs.
There are not many people who have eaten the mana stone, but most of them die or go crazy.
“How could such a powerful magical power be hidden in this small stone mass…”
I knew the taste well after having eaten it a few times.
“Status window!”

Title: A nerd alien who is crazy about small money.
“Alpha-Dak~ You’re not like that. If you are envious, you will lose~ You will become rich by earning a small amount of money~”
There was no favor in the title.
What you want from AlphaDoc is to prove yourself an idiot.
I fixed my gaze on the mana stone.
The laboratory did not provide this guy.
The lung mana stone alone made them upset, so the reaction was obvious even without looking at it.
“Suck a few more today!”
I didn’t struggle with eating.
He didn’t know when not only the Orcs but also the monsters would attack.
I wanted to grow strong and fast to suit the environment here.
As time went on, more and more family members came along.
“You won’t get sick just because you ate a lot, right?”
The soft milky magic stone tempted me severely.
“Alphadak hyung. keep it well The only thing I can trust in this town is you.”
The notification sounds here are different from those on Earth.
It was a feeling, but I could definitely tell them apart.
“Answer me. Do you turn on the notification sound automatically? It’s not like that~.”
I teased the unanswering AlphaDoc and grabbed two mana stones in my hands.
“One or two.”
Since coming to the other world, the liver has grown rapidly day by day.
I sat in a room where no one could enter without my permission and closed my eyes.
I opened the dragon breathing method while sitting cross-legged.
And calmly sucked the mana.
Whoops.
After concentrating and sucking magic power, powerful magic energy was absorbed through his hand.
Two batteries worked better than one.
The rising spirit was different.
– Increases horsepower.
I realized once again that the magic stone is a greater object than I had imagined.
It was better for the body to inhale it here, its place of origin, than on Earth.
After seeing the liver, I became bolder.
He expanded his breathing technique to the limit and drew in the mana of the mana stone in earnest.
Due to the influence of the dragon breathing method, the magic response of the Taegeuk Five Elements Yangsim Method was amazing.
It was a magic stone like the legendary spiritual creature Naedan.
Passssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The magical power of the mana stone bounced and was quickly absorbed.
The taste is over!
As the mana filled and overflowed in the Danjeon, the emotions rose as if cheers were about to burst.
– warning! warning! Forced magic assimilation has occurred due to low-quality mana stones.
warning? magical fairy tale?
The cheers turned to astonishment at the sudden, powerful warning sound that hit the head.
Something went wrong.
It seems like a cheap accident.
In the meantime, the magic stone exploded.
I quickly let go of the magic stone.
shit. Eggs don’t fall!
The mana stone held in my hand stuck to my palm like a leech as if it had become one.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, an intense pain rushed from the palm of the hand to the pharynx.
At the same time, I felt heat in my heart and it became hot.
It felt as hot as boiling water.
Gradually, the desire to destroy and destroy everything soared.
It seems that the aura of the orc remained intact in the mana stone.
I stepped on shit!
“Great.”
A scream escaped from between tightly pursed lips.
Like a monster or an Orc warrior hungry for slaughter, a tremendous instinct of destruction dominated me.
The magic of the demon absorbed into the body swallowed the body and attacked to control the mind.
These bastards were dangerous.
Even the energy that had been quietly sleeping until now was merged.
It was the first time I experienced an unpurified mana stone.
Tendons wriggled and protruded over the skin.
A reign of pain and madness swirled that humans could not handle.
My mind went back and forth in an unexpected situation.
– ha. I made a fool of myself.
Suddenly, it seemed that something was heard in the air.
A shadow swaying in front of my eyes.
It seemed to hear the voice of a very cold woman from the shadows.
And…..
Took! circuit is broken
***
– To receive his attention on an insignificant human subject…..
The shadow that appeared out of thin air did not hide its envy.
– With the tremendous power bestowed by the master, are you at a loss because of the low-level mana stone? At this level, it’s a fucking multi level, in the words of Earth humans.
Crumpled.
A human body whose entire body is twisted and changed due to pain and life as a side effect of the magic stone.
“Aaaaaaa!”
Humans screamed in pain.
– Are you sick? you know you’re really funny When you boast about money and power to humans, you die of joy~ Heung!
Unlike the horse, the swaying shadow gently swept over the human body.
Sussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Surprisingly, the rampant mana was purified in an instant.
It was really fleeting.
The human form, which seemed like it would soon go crazy and turn into a demon, returned to its original form.
And it absorbed all the magical power of the purified mana stone.
As if resistance had developed, the wild magic could no longer rampage.
– Insignificant human! don’t just call me On the ugly subject…..
A woman’s voice in the shadows blurs the end.
He seemed to criticize him for being ugly, but he looked at the human figure with concern.
“Whoa…”
The human sighed and regained consciousness.
The shadow that I looked at for a moment with regret.
It disappeared like a lie with a small light.
***
“Mmmmm.”
A slight headache came over me.
dead and alive
It wasn’t easy to die twice just because you’ve died once.
“But who was it? I think I said it was a mess…”
I looked everywhere, but there was nothing.
No traces were visible.
The pain was so severe that it seemed that he heard hallucinations or had hallucinations.
It’s like being possessed by a ghost.
– Quickly absorbed the magic of the lower magic stone.
– A mana stone absorption skill has been created in Breathing. Breathing has become Beginner 5.
– You have reached level 20.
“It’s like a crazy magic stone!”
His level and magic power rose at the same time, but he wasn’t excited at all.
The rice cake I ate in a hurry got stuck in my throat and I felt like I came back to life.
“Breathing saved me!”
It was still weak, but it seemed that the breathing method left by the dragon and the supernatural ability of the Taegeuk Five Elements method were great.
“They say that taking a lot of famous medicine is poisonous, and that’s exactly what it is. To think that the mental world of demon beasts is so insane…”
It came to my mind vividly.
The frenzied destructive power contained in the evil magic of the demon that tried to control the mind.
My body trembled.
There was not even the slightest bit of reason.
The mana stone was filled with slaughter, destruction, madness, anger, and hunger.
“Still… delicious.”
Magical powers that did not increase on Earth increased steadily.
It was definitely different.
The ability to absorb mana stones as a special skill also occurred.
Bonuses were properly paid after hard work.
“Thank you for the magic stone. Don’t save your brother.”
He thanked and praised the Mana Stone, whose mana had been discharged.
The mana stone that sucked energy disappeared from releasing mana.
“A space~.”
He summoned sub-space with a voice full of love.
“Ooooh! It got bigger!”
As the level went up, the sub-space widened.
It has expanded to about three times the size of when I first received it.
I looked at the subspace with a happy gaze and threw the used magic stone.
The subspace moved according to my will.
“I’m in a good mood~ Today is a party~”
My appetite turned when I saw the wild boar meat piled up on one side of the subspace.
As a lord, I couldn’t just go barefoot on such a happy day.
But what is this feeling? This awkwardness?
I kept feeling like someone was watching and watching me.
I looked around slowly.
The lord’s office feels nothing.
It was also really quiet with no wind.
