Episode 274
Fortunately, it seems that Velvet and Orca were satisfied with collecting pretty stones from the river, rather than sailing along the river.
“It’s a really tough adventure… but I’m glad I picked up a lot of pretty stones.”
When Velvet, holding a pile of rocks in her arms, sighed, Orca was surprised to see Velvet like that.
“Little Master. I picked it up as well, but is there any significance to picking up stones?”
“Kyahang~! It’s pretty when it sparkles! Gold or jewels would have been better!”
Since ancient times, there is a story that crows love shiny things and collect anything that reflects light.
And that was no different for the dragon, Velvet. Velvet’s desire to decorate the playroom with her own things was a dragon’s primal instinct to decorate rare.
“And Velvet knows how to make stones more shiny!”
Rumble – Velvet dropped a pile of rocks on the floor and put them in her pocket one by one.
The many stones turned into particles and disappeared, and only one man, Velvet, blew mana with a serious expression.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaa… It takes a lot of concentration to make a stone shine!”
Saaaa – Blame it!
When Velvet poured a huge amount of mana like a dragon, the ordinary stone began to emit light like a luminous stone.
“Isn’t this… a skill with a name like magic enchantment?”
“It’s not over yet! Well bar!”
Whoa – When the velvet breathed on it with a serious expression, a white barrier like a coating wrapped around the stone.
“Kyahang! If you do this, mana cannot escape from the stone! This stone can shine forever!”
Orca looked at the stones here and there with a surprised face at Velvet’s words.
“This one…”
The stone that was just pretty in shape that I picked up from the river was now shining more beautifully than a jewel.
Even if it contains the dragon’s mana, wouldn’t it have tremendous value?
“Little Master! If you collect these stones, you’re sure to like that four three-legged crow chicken? You could eat a lot of it!”
“Hey, is it real!? But buy it! buy it! It’s a quadrupedal chicken! It has four legs. Chickens originally have wings instead of front legs, but there are only legs…” When
Velvet smiled at the thought of chicken, Orca grabbed the shiny stone with her fin and said,
“Anyway, I think this stone will be very expensive. How about showing it to Madame Sumire?”
Apparently, the title that Orca calls Sumire has now been upgraded to Madam.
“To Sumire’s mother? Hmm…”
Velvet put her hand on her chin and pondered for a while, then nodded as if she had made a decision.
“okay. Although it is a very precious stone. joahseo Can I make up my mind and eat a whole chicken for five stones?”
The reason why Velvet is saying this is that Orca and the stones she brought are not all.
“I guess there are more stones like this than I thought? Are there any stones you have been collecting without my knowledge?”
“Ahhh… Nineteen twenty? that’s right! That’s enough!”
“From my point of view, one stone is enough for one chicken that the little Lord likes!”
The quadruped walking chicken was priced at a little over 20,000 won per chicken. As Orca said, selling 20 stones at 20,000 won each was a considerable amount. Even the only things Velvet used were the stones he had picked up from the river over a little time and the mana that would be replenished after a good night’s sleep.
‘If I bring you this stone, will you give me a quadrupedal chicken? This is crazy… I have to sell them all right now.’
The playroom that Velvet dreams of.
No, you can decorate the dragon rare later. If, as predicted, more than 400,000 won was given, he could do anything based on that capital.
Buying the 82,000 won dragon doll clothes and the 160,000 won 2-step slide that Velvet wanted was also not a dream.
‘The Orca is right!’
Velvet is determined.
You can pick up a pretty stone again. However, it was impossible for Velvet to make the dragon doll clothes and the slide herself.
Bartering using one’s organs. It contained the essence of the most simple but efficient capital that has been passed down from the beginning.
“Jo-A-Seo Kya-Hang-! Let’s go to Sumire’s mother!”
“Rurre- good!”
Velvet proudly entered the room, and I don’t know if killer whales really cry like this, but Orca followed suit with a strange cry.

Yellow.
red.
blue.
Sumire couldn’t help but admire the stones shining brightly with the dragon’s mana.
“Wow… the stone that Velvet brought. It is very pretty.”
Even Adela, the granddaughter of Aden, who had seen many treasures, was amazed at the velvet stone.
“…It sure is beautiful. Besides, this is a craft made by Velvet. I definitely want to have it too.”
“Kyahang-! Adela Mom is a discount! It’s only 10,000 won each!”
Adela willingly paid the money to Velvet, who solicited customers while holding out her index finger, saying, “It’s just a ticket worth 10,000 won!”

“Kyahang-! It’s not long until the quadrupedal chicken!”
“Congratulations! little master! But it’s a start! The value of this stone is measured by a jeweler or something!”
Sumire smiled as a mother, as if the appearances of Velvet and Orca, who were full of expectations, were cute.
‘Neither of you should be too disappointed. Probably because it contains mana, rather than a jewelry store… Hunter supply store?’
nod
Sumire, who quickly decided that it was a good experience, stroked Velvet’s hair.
“Then, shall we go quickly in the morning?”
It was such a good experience for Velvet, who is smart but still young, to think about selling the stones she has been collecting.
“Kyahang! good! let’s hurry-! Velvet will sell this stone and buy Mom and Dad lots of delicious food!”
“Whoops Velvet….”
Adela just loves Velvet.
‘Because this is also a good experience.’
Sumire, a child-rearing genius nurtured by her three younger siblings.
“I must not forget either!”
Even the orca that encourages it from the side.
fault!
“Kyahang! good! Velvet will bring all the shiny stones you’ve collected!”
The dice were thrown.

The first was a Hunter supply store not far from the campus. It was a small store built for Gaon students, not Academy City.
“…um sorry.”
result is rejected.
However, the store owner’s reaction was unusual.
“I’m sure this contains a ton of mana… but our supply store’s device can’t read the ingredients, so… let’s go to the city center. Or the supply store on the first floor of the tower would be fine.”
“Ah yes! All right!”
Sumire hurriedly left the store after the store owner apologized.
“There is also something out of the ordinary. Prepare your heart, little master. In my opinion, this is 30,000 won! no! I think even 40,000 won is possible!”
“Kyaa Kyaheuk! 40,000 won multiplied by 20 is over 80 manons! Kyahang! Velvet is rich now!”
Velvet and Orca’s expectations are rising in an unexpected situation.
Wheein!
[AERA G – 562]
[Welcome to KH Mall.]

[Scanning the authorized hunter code in your pocket before entering.]
Academy City’s hunter supply store boasts state-of-the-art from the moment you enter. did.
[Gaon Academy Seven Number]
[Sumire Hanajime]
[Identification has been confirmed.]
Aww- A blue hologram spread out in the air, and Sumire’s identity and name written in detail on it.
[Your status has been recognized as a special guest, and an exclusive counseling staff member has been assigned.]
[Please wait a moment.]
In addition, the preferential service that continues as soon as it is revealed that you are Gaon’s Seven Number. It was absolutely perfect.
Dada da da da-!
An employee in a suit who came down the stairs with a tidy warning but at a tremendous speed bent his head 90 degrees in front of Sumire.
“hello! Nice to meet you! I am Jacheol Kim! Is this a purchase-related visit? Is this a sales related visit? Either way, through my professional knowledge trained over many years, service without a single mistake…” I
just came to show you a few stones, but I can’t believe I received such excessive service. Sumire waved her hand as if she felt it was too much.
“Oh no! It’s not a big deal, I just have a few mana stones, so I’m trying to measure their value…”
However, the other party clearly showed signs of disappointment when they heard that the item Sumire had brought was mana stones.
“Perhaps, in the case of mana stones… unless they are processed or refined enough to be used right away, the purchase price is quite cheap.”
Not all purchase prices are the same. But I couldn’t help but wonder why the staff reacted this way.
“Mana stones… are definitely not a favorite item in the supply store. If it is not processed into a product like an enchantment stone or a by-product of a specific dungeon, even if you grind a mana stone that weighs close to 1 ton on average… it’s just a handful of mana…” He explains very kindly like an expert,
but The staff clearly looked disappointed.
Sumire is a big customer after a long time.
That’s Gaon’s Seven Number.
Even if it wasn’t an artifact, I thought I’d bring a by-product from the dungeon boss, but it’s a common and common mana stone.
′′ Um, actually, should I say that it costs more ingeonbi even if I buy it? It is often difficult to deal with in general stores, so I understand that mines usually buy them in large quantities.”
“Ah sure…”
“Kyaa haang…”
However, looking at Sumire and Velvet who were disappointed, Kim Ja-cheol, a 3rd year excellent employee at KH Mall, didn’t seem to be at ease.
“Still… it’s different from the mana it contains depending on the material of the mineral, so you’ve come a long way, so if you deliver it to me, I’ll measure it right away.”
“here-! It is this stone!”
Let’s give Velvet a stone she took out of her pocket and give her a desperate look. After accepting the stone, Kim Ja-cheol felt burdened.
‘I feel sorry for this…’
But when he looked at the shape and color of the stone he received, his eyes changed.
‘I thought it looked like coal, but something is unusual?’
If you think about it, this is the mana stone that Gaon’s Seven Number gave you. There was nothing strange about hiding something secret.
“Wait, then follow me. I will guide you to the mana analyzer!”
When Kim Ja-cheol put a stone into the huge white analyzer, the machine started to work with a loud noise.
Wheein-!
“Kyaha! Chebal-!”
“Orr- I believe! 50,000 Kazuah-!”
Velvet prays earnestly and Orca cheers vigorously. Kim Ja-cheol, who was watching the machine, read the analysis table and his eyes widened.
“This…is the amount of mana contained in the stone comparable to that of a processed enchantment stone? It is absolutely not a simple mana stone.”
“yes? So if it’s not a simple mana stone…”
Sumire’s eyes widened in surprise and her mouth opened. Kim Ja-cheol swallowed and said.
“It means that this one stone contains the mana that will come out only when grinding 1 ton of mana stones! this stone! How many did you say you brought?”
“Kyahang! Twenty! By the way, if you add up all your fingers and multiply them twice, you get twenty!”
Immediately upon Velvet’s very kind reply, Kim Ja-cheol started calculating the purchase price.
“If we resell it as a product in our store, the original value is about 1 million won per piece. However, the purchase price of the store is 65% of the original value.”
“In addition, ore items are subject to management, and a little more fee is missing. The price is slightly different for each component containing mana, but the average will be around 570,000.”
“to? Five fifty…”
Now it’s gone.
Sumire’s mouth opens.
“Kyahang! It’s cheaper than the 800,000 won we thought, but you can buy a lot of slides and doll clothes!”
Velvet must have misunderstood the price.
“Oh no, little master. These are 570,000 won each! 20 pieces is 11.4 million won!”
“Ah, I’ll give you 11.5 million won. 100,000 won is a bonus.”
Velvet took a short breath at Orca’s accurate calculations and Kim Ja-cheol’s kind bonus.
“Hogok.”
Then, he trembled and exhaled, then raised his thumbs up with a serious face.
“…Velvet is rich now.”
