I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 282

The Soaring Myo Monthly Team (4)

The market price of Silver Moon Herb is about 5 Sinhaekkeu per root.

For a weed with unknown effects, it has quite a decent price range.

This is due to its rarity.

There was steady demand among transcendents who collect unique or rare items.

But…

– You want to sweep up Silver Moon Herb with the money we earned? Not Shinrak?

“Yes.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

– Heh, hehehehe.

It was absurd.

So absurd that he wasn’t even angry.

Only hollow laughter escaped.

However?

It wasn’t like Baek Jin-woo was wrong again.

If Heukryeon was really good, would he pass this opportunity to us?

That part bothered Yahwi a little too.

– Hmm, if we miss this opportunity, Heukryeon will sell that privilege to another team. Are you saying we should do this even though we could lose thousands of Sinhaekkeu with one decision of yours?

“The decision is yours, Team Leader. However, this is also a kind of bet. If it fails, I won’t take the promised 50% either.”

– You’re that confident?

How should I put it.

Looking at Baek Jin-woo, there are many fascinating aspects about him.

He always throws out ridiculous ideas, but in the end, his words turn out to be right.

So he couldn’t dismiss and ignore him like before.

His head knew it was wrong, but he felt strangely anxious.

– What do the other team members think?

Yahwi asked the four Myo Clan members.

– What’s there to say!

Seolmyo answered immediately.

– Honestly, we trust the newcomer’s words more than Team Leader’s.

– What, what did you say?

A vein popped up on Yahwi’s forehead.

This guy.

He’s been constantly getting on my nerves?

– Don’t look at us with such a scary expression. When we earn 150 Sinhaekkeu each month, the newcomer earned thousands, isn’t that true? From what I see, the newcomer is definitely not an ordinary transcendent. There’s something there. Maybe he’s possessed by the soul of a transcendent we can’t even imagine.

Oh.

Baek Jin-woo looked at Seolmyo with a surprised expression.

How did he figure that out?

He’s quite perceptive?

– I’m also a bit suspicious.

Next, Renhwa answered.

– Team Leader, are you very close with this being called Heukryeon?

– We’re just acquaintances?

– Isn’t it risky to invest such a large amount just trusting someone you know?

– I’m not trusting Heukryeon, I’m trusting Shinrak. The fact that it’s forming that price range in the market means it’s recognized for that much value, doesn’t it?

– That’s also true, but… Hmm, this is difficult.

The discussion continued.

After about 30 minutes of debate, Yahwi made his decision.

– Fine.

Yahwi’s gaze turned to Baek Jin-woo.

– I’ll delegate authority to you, Baek Jin-woo, for a total of 6,750. Do whatever you want. However, if you lose it all, I’ll take back the authority I gave you before and prevent you from interfering in any of our team’s decisions for the next year. Are you still confident?

“Good. But.”

Baek Jin-woo set a condition.

He learned from Seong Yeom-hwa that Shinrak was poison, but it’s uncertain when this will become widely known.

If he hoards it but Shinrak’s price keeps rising… they’ll definitely get impatient.

“Let’s take a long view. I’ll set a generous timeframe and buy slowly.”

If he’s too obsessed with one month’s performance, he might miss out on really big Sinhaekkeu.

Two days later.

– Sigh, Seolmyo.

Yahwi sighed while trimming his nails.

– Yes, Team Leader.

– Is this right? That guy Heukryeon got tired of waiting for our contact and made a deal with another team.

– They must be completely thrilled?

– Right. They’re dancing around in celebration. They bought 100 first.

– At 10 Sinhaekkeu each?

– Yeah, even if they sell at double the price right now, that’s 1,000 profit.

– Haha, but they still can’t beat our team. We have 6,550.

– That’s not the problem right now? The problem is we lost a better opportunity. I’m worried. He keeps pushing forward saying it’s just luck… We’ve seen the end of such people many times.

The universe is ruthless.

In a world where various laws exert power, luck can never exist.

Unless there’s a law of fortune.

– No matter how lucky you are, one mistake and it all flies away.

– Exactly.

– But well, let’s not think too hard about it.

– What?

– Anyway, he’s rolling with money he earned himself, right? Even if he loses it all, we break even, so pushing him too hard is heartless. What if the newcomer hits it big later and ignores Team Leader?

– Is, is that so?

Yahwi held his head.

A headache came on.

– Anyway, I’m going to stick close to the newcomer. As I said before, he’s not ordinary.

Seolmyo smiled.

He still couldn’t forget the thrill of successfully achieving odds of 33.75.

– Buying Silver Moon Herb will definitely be tough, right? I should go help him.

– Sigh, go ahead.

Yahwi shook his head.

‘Right, if he’s confident, then whatever.’

Since he decided to trust him, let’s trust him completely.

As Seolmyo said, at worst we break even.

The market price of Silver Moon Herb is 5 Sinhaekkeu.

But there were only 500 total items available in the market.

Baek Jin-woo pressed the device and swept up all available items with 2,500 Sinhaekkeu.

This was truly amazing.

Just pressing this delivers the goods.

Sinhaekkeu disappears, and the actual Silver Moon Herb comes in.

Does this system also apply transcendent laws?

[Remaining Sinhaekkeu: 4,250]

Hmm.

I want to sweep up more with this.

First, he posted on the trading board that he would buy at 5 Sinhaekkeu each.

Then several notes arrived.

Sale Inquiry

Sender: Gangleongwoe

Have 10 Eunwolcho. 6 Sinhaekkeu each.

I have 20 Eunwolcho, will sell for 7 Sinhaekkeu each.

Sender: Jeogan-pa

Contacting you.

Sender: Myorindan

Looking at the current market situation, 5 Sinhaekkeu is too cheap. Someone is absorbing the supply. Can provide up to 30 pieces for 6 Sinhaekkeu each.

“Ho.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

Look at these guys.

Transcendents really are something – they hold inventory like this and then test the waters?

There were exactly 3 notes.

No more came no matter how long he waited.

– Newbie!

Seolmyo, who had appeared beside him, butted in.

– Wow, you already bought them all? Notes came too? One of them is even from those Myorindan bastards? Ugh, those guys. I wondered why their performance was always so good… so they’re doing tick trading like this.

Tick trading.

It was slang meaning to secure inventory and then sell it to desperate transcendents for 1 Sinhaekkeu more.

They were doing quite well rationally.

Seeing they had as many as 30 Eunwolcho, they seemed to have pretty good instincts.

– You’re not actually going to buy those, are you? In the long run, supply will keep coming anyway. Buying at 5 Sinhaekkeu is the most economical.

Right.

According to Seolmyo’s theory, that would be correct…

‘I have a feeling.’

Something felt like an incident would break out soon.

That guy called Heukryeon spreading Shinrak (Divine Delight) was somewhat unsettling.

“I want to just buy them all?”

– Those?

“Yes, I think anything under 10 is fine.”

– That much?

Seolmyo had decided to completely trust Baek Jin-woo on this matter.

So she didn’t even try to persuade him otherwise.

– Then buy them all right away?

“Yes.”

– Alright, just a moment.

Swish, swoosh!

Seolmyo contacted them with fluid hand movements and proceeded with the transactions.

She spent a total of 380 Sinhaekkeu to scoop up 60 more Eunwolcho.

[Remaining Sinhaekkeu: 3,870]

[Eunwolcho Owned: 560]

“Oh, and Seolmyo.”

– Yeah?

“Are there any groups that might have a lot of stuff like Eunwolcho?”

– Uh, wait a moment.

After thinking briefly.

– Gosinbang!

She immediately came up with an answer.

– It’s a place run by an immortal named Seokunjin, and those guys like rare items. They definitely should have some inventory.

“Can we contact them?”

– But they won’t sell unless it’s a decent price. They’re not the type to buy and hoard for market arbitrage.

“But wouldn’t they sell for double the price?”

– That’s… we’d have to contact them to find out.

Seolmyo sent a message, and a reply came quickly.

– Hmm, they have about 10 Eunwolcho, and they have no intention of selling regardless of price. And they already know that we’ve been buying up large quantities of Eunwolcho recently.

“Is that so?”

– Instead, they introduced a place called Cheonmokjeong. It’s a place that collects rare herbs, and if they don’t have inventory, then there really is no inventory.

“Connect us right away.”

– Phew, I don’t know who’s the newbie and who’s the senior, but I’ll proceed immediately.

Tap, tap tap!

Seolmyo was a meritocrat.

Newbie or whatever, if it was the word of a capable transcendent, she was confident she’d follow anything.

And not long after.

Reply sent.

Sender: Cheonmokjeong

We are not a place that collects herbs for trading purposes. However, if you provide more than adequate compensation, a trade might be possible. Currently holding 1,000 Eunwolcho.

“Wow. A thousand?”

That was definitely a lot.

– Should we go for it right away? 10 each?

“Yes, I have no intention of buying for more than that anyway.”

– Got it.

Tap tap, tap tap!

She made the offer immediately, and a reply came back.

Reply sent.

Sender: Cheonmokjeong

We do not trade herbs based on simple monetary value. However, the price of 10 Sinhaekkeu each is certainly an attractive offer. But we also see the possibility that this Eunwolcho might not be a simple herb. Therefore, we have no intention of handing over the entire quantity at once. Can provide up to 300 pieces maximum. Please let us know if you’re interested in trading.

– Nice, right? We can only buy that much anyway.

“That’s good. Proceed right away.”

This time the bleeding was quite severe.

He obtained 300 Eunwolcho for 3,000 Sinhaekkeu.

[Remaining Sinhaekkeu: 870]

[Eunwolcho Owned: 860]

Thanks to that, Myo Monthly Team now owned more Eunwolcho than Cheonmokjeong.

“Yes, let’s stop here and wait.”

Of course, he planned to spend the remaining 870 if there was an opportunity.

Is this how forces that slowly accumulate stock quantities feel?

Let’s wait and see.

Time passed like that.

[Remaining Sinhaekkeu: 0]

[Eunwolcho Owned: 1,034]

In the end, he spent everything to purchase at 5 Sinhaekkeu each.

Now Baek Jin-woo had no Sinhaekkeu left to operate with.

‘The performance evaluation is coming up soon.’

It’s fine.

Items bought in preparation for hoarding like this are treated at market price and recognized as performance.

In other words, since he gained 1,034 Eunwolcho compared to last month, it would be recognized as 5,170 Sinhaekkeu worth of value.

So, Baek Jin-woo’s performance this month?

4,970!

He probably wouldn’t miss first place this time either.
