24-Hour Friendly Market Specializing in Dimensional Items Episode 126

Episode 126. Babel Official Excellent Seller (7)

Kang Yeon-hee’s mouth had been hanging wide open for 10 minutes straight.

Since she’d been stuck at her stall and the only market browsing she’d done was at the blue-eyed stall, it was natural for her to be surprised.

Kang Yeon-hee pointed at something transparent that looked like a gemstone and exclaimed excitedly.

“Wow, there’s something called an Ice Slime too…! How can ice be a slime?!”

“Right.”

I gave her a casual response and slowly moved forward.

The inexplicable headache that had been bothering me earlier was subsiding as I walked with Kang Yeon-hee.

There were two reasons I’d brought Kang Yeon-hee to the Irregular Dimensional Market in the first place.

One was that I needed a reliable ally who could talk up and sell Earth’s goods while I was away from my post.

The other was to supply Kang Yeon-hee, who had the ‘Guardian of Matter’ title, with new materials that didn’t exist on Earth.

‘Actually, this one’s the bigger reason.’

I quietly watched Kang Yeon-hee as she poked at the thing called an Ice Slime.

Intense curiosity about something she was seeing for the first time.

Until now, Kang Yeon-hee would have made potions using only materials available on the market.

As a self-employed person obsessed with securing her stall spot every day, she probably couldn’t even think of using such expensive materials.

Despite the extraordinariness of her title, there was very little Kang Yeon-hee could actually do.

‘So if I supply her with materials, she’ll be able to make much more.’

According to Kang Yeon-hee, she could decompose and combine new materials.

She was also confident that she could make anything as long as she knew the formula.

It would be a waste of talent to only make potions with such a title.

If I hadn’t discovered her potential, Kang Yeon-hee would have remained forever as ‘an alchemist who makes pretty decent potions.’

Leaving someone with the Midas touch like that would be a loss for Earth.

Couldn’t we just leave that kind of thing to people with Creator titles?

‘If that were the case, I wouldn’t be doing all this work.’

All awakened individuals with Creator titles on Earth, including in our country, only make ‘weapons’ and ‘armor.’

But Kang Yeon-hee said with her own mouth that wasn’t her domain…

‘Which also means the broad range excluding weapons and armor is her domain.’

She just couldn’t sell because she hadn’t tried, but if she tries, she can sell!

If we sell that exclusively at Friendly Market, it would be a guaranteed success.

Well, even if it seems a bit materialistic, this is all for Kang Yeon-hee’s benefit.

…Really.

Personal development is always best for oneself, after all.

No one’s criticizing me, but I feel guilty for no reason.

I cleared my throat lightly and called out to Kang Yeon-hee.

“Yeon-hee.”

Kang Yeon-hee, who had been fiddling with the red powder, started excitedly explaining what the powder was instead of answering.

“Unnie, this is dragon scale powder that increases fire resistance. But when I tried using my skill, I think I could make burn treatment medicine with this, and if I do it well, fire resistance potions might be possible too!”

Kang Yeon-hee’s eyes sparkled as she explained excitedly.

‘Hmm.’

She was looking at me with such bright, excited eyes like a child that it was even a bit overwhelming.

I took a step back and calmly asked back.

“Do you know how to make them?”

My pointed question seemed quite sharp.

Well, actually it wasn’t really that sharp.

Kang Yeon-hee had said ‘I think I could make them!’ not that she could make them.

Kang Yeon-hee scratched the back of her head with an embarrassed expression.

“Uh… I don’t know, but potions are all made by trial and error anyway. I’ve done lots of experiments so I’ll be fine!”

Right, I’ve seen your disheveled appearance like a mad scientist who failed experiments many times…

But as they say, even a bad law is still law, and even a failed scientist is still a scientist.

Kang Yeon-hee would somehow manage to create something even after failing several times.

‘Of course, I’m not the type to wait through such an arduous time.’

I casually changed the subject.

“Is there anything you want to make?”

“Something I want to make? What kind of thing?”

“Just amazing potions or items? Or materials you’d like to work with. Really anything.”

“Hmm…”

Perhaps my question was too abstract, as Kang Yeon-hee pursed her lips and pondered for a moment.

However, her contemplation was very brief.

“An item that can revive people…?”

“That’s totally fine.”

“And love potions, you know? The kind that appear in romance comics.”

“That’s good but… I think the Management Bureau would have something to say if we sold that.”

“I also wanted to try making something completely simple. A tumbler that maintains cold temperature permanently, or an item that lets you talk with people participating in scenarios…”

She says they’re simple, but all the ideas Kang Yeon-hee presented were things I’d never seen on Earth.

Most importantly, they were all plausible ideas.

‘As expected, it was good to overturn that Ba-man-jang stall.’

Sam-i did something big.

[⁕ I didn’t do anything :)]

Right, whatever it is, I should support whatever Kang Yeon-hee wants to do.

‘Even if it means selling Earth.’

It was the moment when I was about to half-forget my role as a dimensional savior and transform into Kang Yeon-hee’s obsessive personal fan.

Kang Yeon-hee clapped her hands and spoke in a slightly higher tone.

“Ah! And I wanted to try making a means of transportation once…”

“Transportation?”

“Yes, it’s a bit out of the blue, isn’t it?”

Kang Yeon-hee laughed timidly as if she had said something impossible, but I thought my heart was going to explode.

‘The sound of money coming in is almost concert-level!’

I almost let out a scream of joy.

Not weapons or armor, but Kang Yeon-hee’s ambition to introduce a new category.

I’m deeply moved to have an employee with such ambition.

Kang Yeon-hee scratched her cheek as if embarrassed and added.

“It’s hard to bring transportation into the Tower. Well, you can use things like bicycles or kickboards, but you can’t use cars or motorcycles.”

“That’s right~?”

“Of course, I’ve never been to other floors, but I’ve heard a lot about how difficult it is to move around. So I thought it would be good if we could make some kind of fast-moving transportation-”

“Then, do you think you could make it if you knew the manufacturing method?”

“Ah, I think so? Actually, since I’ve only made potions, I don’t really have a feel for how to do it.”

I have a feel for it.

A premonition that this will be a huge business item…

I tried to calm my pounding heart.

‘Calm down my ass.’

I just spoke calmly while my heart felt like it was going to burst.

“Want to look around at other things for a bit?”

“Oh, I was actually curious about that shop stall over there! I’ll just take a quick look.”

Innocent Kang Yeon-hee headed excitedly toward the front shop stall, not knowing what sinister thoughts I was having.

“Wow, can I touch this?”

Who would have thought she’d set her sights on fluorescent slime.

As someone who developed PTSD from touching slime mucus, it’s a visual that makes me automatically step back.

I don’t know what’s so fascinating that she’s bending over at the waist to examine it.

Well, anyway, since Kang Yeon-hee moved away, I can do what I need to do in the meantime.

“Sam-i.”

[⁕ Yes, did you call me? :)]

The goal is simply one thing.

“Does the market also sell ‘item manufacturing methods’?”

Kang Yeon-hee did say before that ‘you can make it if you know the manufacturing method,’ but I’ve never seen manufacturing methods being sold in the first place.

If she doesn’t know how to make it, even if I bring her materials worth hundreds of millions, it would be useless.

Kang Yeon-hee would probably just be amazed, saying it’s an ingredient she’s seeing for the first time.

‘I can’t bear to see that.’

Then I’ll find the manufacturing method.

[⁕ Yes, according to market search results, there are a total of 1,033,812,247 items that include ‘manufacturing method’ :)]

“Wow.”

‘Look at that dimensional scale.’

I didn’t want to know numbers that detailed.

“Then if we limit it to transportation manufacturing methods, how many are there?”

[⁕ Market search results show a total of 398 markets currently selling transportation ‘manufacturing methods’ :)]

That’s a lot, very much so…

I’m so thrilled I want to shout.

I quickly browsed through the list Sam-i displayed for me.

All these countless transportation manufacturing methods with various names look like money streams to me.

Then.

“…No way.”

I froze when I discovered one particular item.

[■■ Magic Tower Invention No. 82153 Standard Model Manufacturing Guide]

The very one I bought in the early days of my Awakening and have been riding around on with great care ever since.

‘Isn’t that the Green Thousand?’

“Jackpot.”

This time I really had to struggle to hold back a loud exclamation.

Though it bothers me that there’s no grade, this is the manufacturing method for the Green Thousand that I’ve already gotten my money’s worth from.

This is like finding a harp in the ocean.

[⁕ Manufacturing methods, production methods, and other item production-related knowledge documents do not display grades :)]

“Oh, thanks. You’re so helpful.”

[⁕ I exist for the administrator, so you don’t need to thank me 🙂 Rather, it burdens my data :)]

That’s irritating to hear, but I decided to let it slide.

Because I’m in a really good mood right now.

“I’ll buy this, so find me the place selling it cheapest.”

[⁕ Browsing sales items from Open Markets selling the specific item ‘■■ Magic Tower Invention No. 82153 Standard Model Manufacturing Guide’ :)]

[Open Market ‘Playground of the Unwelcome’ Ι Administrator ‘Oden’]

[> Available for Purchase

– ■■ Magic Tower Invention No. 82153 Standard Model Manufacturing Guide 3,716G]

‘What? The manufacturing method costs more than the actual product.’

There’s a good reason adults say technology is important.

But I don’t hesitate.

I’ve become an extraordinary commoner who no longer frets over thousands of Gold, and I’m someone who knows well the convenience of the Green Thousand.

If I invest this money to sell budget-friendly green silk cloth, recovering the investment is just a matter of Kang Yeon-hee’s stamina.

Hesitation only delays purchases!

[Transaction completed.]

[Gold in possession: 7,412,008G]

I suddenly widened my eyes in surprise.

…Did I have this much money?

‘Then I’ll just buy all the crafting recipes I like for now.’

I spent quite a while shopping through the search results.

Even though I wasn’t buying actual items, I bought everything that caught my eye.

They say you shouldn’t be too greedy, but you need to be greedy to at least try anything.

And when Kang Yeon-hee finally came over to me with a smile, carrying the fluorescent slime she had bought.

“Yeon-hee.”

I spoke with a profound smile like the Great Gatsby.

“Buy everything you want.”

“…Huh?”

Kang Yeon-hee’s eyes widened, completely clueless.

As if checking whether she heard correctly, Kang Yeon-hee fidgeted with her ear, so I gave her another confirmation shot.

“That’s right, buy everything. I’ll buy you everything you want to try and everything you want to have.”

“H-how much can I spend…?”

“Until I tell you to stop buying.”

“Really?! Then, that dragon scale powder from earlier, and the Dark Magic Stone I saw on the way… Oh! And I want the golem bones too.”

Kang Yeon-hee started chattering excitedly.

She even grabbed my arm and led me along as if telling me to hurry up.

I grinned as I watched Kang Yeon-hee, who looked excited even from the back of her head.

That’s all going to be an advance payment, innocent Yeon-hee.
