In the final five hours (3),
the guard captain collapsed on his chair.
“…That’s pretty good.”
Then a burst of laughter broke out.
“ha ha ha! It’s really quite good. You persuade me. “Okay, let’s release this guy named Curtis.”
The setting immediately turned favorable.
“thank you. And one more thing. We want to go to Melkidu’s core. Do you know how?”
“Hmm, only His Majesty the King can issue a core pass. That’s better. “I was going to introduce you to you too.”
It was that kind of process.
“It’s an honor. When will this be possible?”
“The procedure is a bit complicated. Still, I will try my best. “The star will pass by tomorrow morning.”
‘It’s tomorrow morning…
Melkidu’s time is different from reality, but there wasn’t much time in reality either.
Iruki said.
“It will be a process of processing data. “If this itself is an event, it cannot be changed arbitrarily.”
Sirone nodded and asked again.
“What about Mr. Curtis?”
“That’s easy. All you have to do is submit the documents. “If you’re waiting outside the prison, I’ll let you go.”
After receiving the agreement, Sirone and his party went outside through the guard barracks.
“You’re finally out of the middle layer.”
The splendid and beautiful scenery of Parme, the capital of Melkidu, caught their eyes.
“It’s a play zone. “Maybe it’s because I always go through the back door, but now it’s even more awkward?”
At that moment, when I agreed with Nade’s words, the iron door opened and Curtis appeared.
Pena shouted.
“Curtis!”
He was limping and had bruises on his face from how much he had been beaten.
“Are you okay? ‘What happened’?”
He passed by, ignoring Pena, and asked Sirone with a very nervous expression.
“Did you find a way?”
“yes. I am scheduled to meet the King tomorrow. “Maybe this is the final gateway to the core.”
“…Right.”
Curtis’s expression relaxed, but he felt more relieved than happy.
“Let’s go first. “I need to get some rest.”
“okay. Please let’s go. “Because I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
Pena asked while traveling downtown.
“Tell me quickly. Because I’m dying of curiosity. What do you do when you go to jail? Do you give me food? “What kind of place was it?”
“If you’re that curious, you can go and see for yourself.”
Pena was disgusted.
“Are you crazy, am I going there? what? Could it be that you… have you really lost your virginity?”
“Did I just lose my virginity?” Curtis said no more and Pena didn’t want to know any more.
Sirone comforted.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“it’s okay. It’s something I decided to do anyway and it has no meaning. If only they could get to the core…
Shirone and his party also became solemn in the face of their obsession with catching their daughter’s murderer.
“Now you guys tell me. You’re meeting the king tomorrow? “What happened while I was gone?”
Sirone told what had happened so far.
“Right. You guys must have had a hard time too. But then… what are the remaining points?”
“It’s almost at the bottom. There are about 1 million points left to convince the guard captain. But if you consider the case where you have to persuade the king, there is nothing.”
“Hmm, I see.”
While Curtis was resting his chin and thinking of a solution, Pena cleared his throat and spoke.
“Hey… I’ll buy it.”
“huh?”
Pena said, looking away.
“No, Curtis is out of jail too, so he needs to eat a good meal and get some rest for a day. “I will pay for room and board, so don’t worry and go wherever you want.”
Curtis laughed.
“You’re saying you’re getting food from the vampire Pena? “The biggest incident occurred in Melkidu.”
“what? When I write, I also write. And I got a lot of help… Anyway! “I know that!”
“Well, okay. First of all, accommodation and food will be provided by Pena. But even so, the problem is that Sirone’s team has no points. Because the only one who can succeed in persuading 100% is Sirone. “I don’t know what kind of confrontation the King might propose.”
The guard captain’s case alone was quite difficult.
“So I have an idea.”
“yes’?”
The group paid attention to Curtis’ suggestion.
“Come now! Miguel luxury store. We have all the new items that just came out a week ago!”
“The cheapest house in Parme! Selling for 10% below average market price! Urgent listings welcome!”
A large crowd of people was crowding the west side of the square, where the royal castle could be seen at a glance.
“Wow, are those all businessmen?” Curtis said.
“Parme is the place with the most floating population in Melkidu. This is because point trading is possible. “People also stay for a long time to get their money’s worth of items to enter the royal capital.”
“That’s how the market becomes active.”
“okay. Do you guys have any items? Selling it will give you the points you need for persuasion. However, since I don’t have time, I’ll just put it all up for quick sale. I know you guys are concerned about efficiency, but if you sell as much as we do, you’re VIP. If the transaction goes on for too long, flies become entangled. “You guys probably don’t like that either.”
The group understood.
“There are no philanthropists among the merchants. It’s safer to leave it to the big guys. “Let’s go to that guy.”
He was a neatly dressed man in his 30s.
“welcome. This is Ottoman luxury store. If you look at a catalog and see something you want…
“No, I don’t have anything to buy.” “I want to sell something.”
Osman immediately nodded.
“Of course you are welcome. There is no one that sets prices as high as ours. Shall we go to the office?”
“No, let’s do it here. “Because most of them are card items.”
There were expensive weapons in the port, but there was no room to carry them.
“yes. Then show me the item. Are you from this side? “I’ll make a deal.”
Osman took out a card.
“Activate. shop.”
As the card glowed, a system message appeared.
-The transaction between the Sirone team and the Osman team begins. You have 1 hour to redeem your points. Once the transaction is approved between both parties, the effect automatically disappears.
‘It’s an anti-fraud system. And… this person is also an accomplice.’
There must have been a few people in the office and around here right now.
“If I open a store with an item, do I keep using points for every transaction?”
“yes. If you want to do business, you have to give up that much. “It’s not particularly expensive, but it adds up to a lot.”
Of course, it will be included in the fee.
“The problem is people who come to make transactions without having any points or items. It’s half a prank and half a disruption to competitors. That’s why there is a limit of 1 hour. If the person who used the item does not approve the transaction, that person will not be able to make the transaction for one hour.”
“aha.”
“You can rest assured. As long as the store is active, the items for sale are protected by the system.”
After confirming that Curtis nodded, Sirone handed over the item.
“yes. “I want to sell this.”
“Hmm, let’s see…
Osman’s eyes, which were calmly turning over cards one by one, gradually began to waver.
“Hoo.”
He was lost in thought while stroking his chin, then handed over the card again and said.
“I’ve seen Mr. Curtis and Mr. Pena a few times, but this is my first time with Mr. Sirone. “Did you collect all these cards without ever stopping by Parme?”
Through system messages, merchants remembered users’ names.
“Yeah, it just so happened.”
Osman realized.
‘It’s the back door.’
Of course, there are only rumors and no substance, but sometimes there were customers who felt differently.
“All right. Then let me suggest a price. A total of thirty-seven cards, including the highest quality card…
Osman raised his head.
“120 million points. How is it?” It was a larger amount than expected.
‘Then it’s originally said to be more expensive. Actually, I haven’t been able to go to the high-end stores on the inner track.’
Osman continued.
“You didn’t come here to bargain, right? Because I know that, I gave it as high a rating as possible. Among these cards, there are also crafting items. In other words, we will also take care of the situation.”
“how?”
The conversation continued without ignoring the main point.
“I don’t know about that. If a problem arises, there is a separate company that handles it. “I rely on them.”
‘It’s a gang.’
“What I can promise you is that no one but me will know where this item came from. “That alone will save you a lot of hassle.”
I was going to start core training tomorrow anyway, but the thought of having to suffer all day made my bones hurt.
“Yes, I will.”
“thank you. “Then shall we begin?”
-120 million points came to Sirone’s team.
Sirone also handed over the card.
“A total of thirty-seven sheets. Has confirmed. Approval of trigger transaction. “Just tell me the same thing.”
“Trigger transaction approved.”
-The transaction has ended.
The store card has disappeared.
“thank you. “I will come again when I have the chance.”
Osman gave me a card and said.
“This is a discount coupon for a high-end restaurant. “If you use this item, your deduction will be 20 percent less.”
“haha! yes.”
Pena
was thrilled after receiving the discount coupon.
“And…
Osman asked.
“As I said before, there will be no cause for concern, but it may be a bit annoying in other ways. “Please leave Parme as quickly as possible.”
“Okay.”
There was no need to hear the details because Sirone had experienced all the hardships of childbirth.
After leaving the merchant area, Sirone and his group headed to the restaurant, clutching their hungry stomachs.
“What kind of restaurant is this with a discount coupon? “Do you have steak too?”
A group of people blocked the way.
“If you want meat, why don’t you just say it? “We can buy it for you as much as you want.”
Curtis’ frown crumpled.
“A vicious merchant.”
“Those people are merchants?” He had a ferocious appearance, and more than anything, all the weapons he was holding were of the highest quality.
“Parme allows point trading between users. That’s why people like that install it.”
“haha! That’s right. Choose. “Are you going to stick with us and make a fuss, or are you going to pass the point?”
Attacks between users are deducted until one person’s points become 0.
“Rather than throwing it away in the air, it’s better to give it to us to use, right? “If you give it to me obediently, I’ll take half.”
Sirone said.
“What do you believe in and are so confident? “If our points are higher, you’re the ones who are in trouble.”
“Keok really? “Then maybe give it a try.” Sirone had a hunch.
‘You’re a point tycoon.’
They stock up on points that allow them to win no matter who they fight against, and then extort them through threats.
“Oh, it’s Pena, right? Are you obsessed with these kids this time? “Then I guess you have some points.”
Pena shouted.
“You are talking nonsense! “What do you think of people?”
“As far as I can see. That’s your specialty. “You borrow money from someone who has money, but when you’re in danger, you hide like a maggot.”
As Pena’s face heated up, Sirone came out.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Oooooh.”
The vicious merchants made exaggerated expressions.
“Wow, that’s cool. So what are you going to do? If you want to trade with Osman, you probably have 50 million, right? Let’s end with that. Or else they will all be robbed and go to jail.”
‘These things are annoying.’
Even if you wanted to be punished, the moment an attack decision was made, the point would be 0.
“Shirone, I will do it.”
“What are you going to do?”
Nade, who was walking to the vicious merchant, turned around, lowered his collar and winked.
“Leave it to me.”
Guard liver failure was hidden.
