I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 283

The Rising Myo Monthly Team (5)

Another month had passed since the previous performance evaluation.

Ten team leaders had gathered and were chatting until Unmyo came out.

But somehow the atmosphere felt strange.

– Hahaha, we procured 50 Shinrak this time.

– Your team too?

– Oh, our team did too!

The team leaders who would normally look grim were all laughing cheerfully together.

From what he heard, everyone had bought Shinrak.

– Hmm.

Yahwi stroked his chin.

‘This is really strange.’

When that guy called Heukryeon came to him, he thought it was an opportunity that came only to him…

But it was such a common opportunity that everyone could obtain it like that?

‘But well.’

He just needed to sell it quickly.

Anyway, it was true that the market price was high.

– Did you guys by any chance.

So he asked.

– Sell all that Shinrak?

– Well, we haven’t sold it yet… There are so many transcendents looking for it.

– We can take our time selling it.

– We found buyers. They said they’d regularly purchase in bulk at 18 each? It’s cheaper than market price but still profitable for us.

Yahwi’s furrowed brows became even more furrowed.

My goodness.

Not a single team had sold theirs yet?

– Why. Didn’t the Myo Monthly Team buy any? You came in first place last time. You must have had plenty of operational Deepcore.

– Oh, we…

Tsk.

Yahwi clicked his tongue.

It would hurt his pride as a team leader to say they didn’t buy because the newcomer told them not to.

– Don’t tell me you didn’t buy any? Should I introduce you to a broker?

– That’s right, Yahwi. You know too. When opportunity knocks, you have to take it. Setting aside inter-team competition, this matter is a huge opportunity for all of Myo Shin-gung.

– No, it’s fine.

Yahwi raised his hand in refusal.

Broker?

Who said he didn’t have any!

‘But.’

Now that he thought about it, the newcomer was completely right.

Something smelled fishy.

Seeing everyone cheering like this, he felt an instinctive rejection.

Time for performance evaluation!

The Heavenly Cat Trade Guild Captain, Unmyo, stepped forward.

– Hmm, this time you all bought goods with operational Deepcore? You purchased well at prices lower than market rate. But it’s a bit strange.

Unmyo also sensed something odd.

– Why did you all just buy and not sell anything? And how could everyone obtain goods at such low prices?

He wasn’t a Captain-level figure for nothing.

He too caught the strange scent like Yahwi.

‘Moreover.’

It was also strange that only the Myo Monthly Team, the star of the last performance evaluation, didn’t buy Shinrak.

– Yahwi.

– Yes, Captain.

– You used all the profits you earned this time to purchase Eunwolcho?

– That’s correct.

– Is there a reason?

– Well…

Yahwi always found this the most difficult part.

He couldn’t lie, but it was difficult since he wasn’t certain about the newcomer’s words either.

– Actually, we also received a proposal. It was from someone called Heukryeon, who said he found a planet where Shinrak could be cultivated and could procure it cheaply.

– …You too?

– We had the same thing happen…

– It wasn’t someone called Heukryeon, but they approached us in the same way.

The team leaders stirred.

– Everyone quiet.

Unmyo raised his hand to silence them and gestured to Yahwi.

A gesture telling him to explain further.

– The newcomer said it was strange.

– The newcomer… Are you referring to Baek Jin-woo?

– That’s right. He said it didn’t make sense logically. If they had the ability to sell at almost half price, not just slightly below market rate, they would sell directly rather than distribute.

– That’s also correct.

– And he said the Shinrak would be poisoned.

– What?

Unmyo frowned, and the team leaders also stirred.

– Poison?

– What do you mean by that.

– Shinrak was an ingredient that sold well from the beginning though?

It was bewildering information.

If that were true, not only would all the team leaders fall into ruin, but it would deal a huge blow to all of Myo Shin-gung.

– Captain! This doesn’t seem like the time to be conducting performance evaluations.

– That’s right! We should quickly dump it on the market first!

Unmyo looked at the urging team leaders with pitiful eyes.

Why were these supposed talents of the trade guild so spineless and frivolous from last time?

They spent all those Deepcore without even being certain!

– Myorin.

Unmyo tilted his head back looking for someone.

– Yes, Captain.

It was Myorin, the Chief Secretary of the Heavenly Cat Trade Guild Captain.

– Check if there are actually buyers seeking Shinrak in the market. But simply searching bulletin boards won’t be enough. Investigate the reality of the trading partners hoping to purchase Shinrak.

– You mean make direct contact?

– Yes, confirm whether they actually exist and if they have real payment capability. If they do, try proceeding with actual transactions.

Unmyo’s statement was a huge shock to the team leaders.

Wasn’t he talking with a large-scale fraud in mind!

That was the moment.

Bang!

The sound of a door opening urgently came from outside the meeting room.

– Captain, Captain! This is terrible!

All eyes turned toward the door at once.

The one who came running in breathlessly was Myojin, the Heavenly Cat Trade Guild’s information officer.

Like Myorin, he was an information analysis supervisor directly under the Captain, and was practically the person who obtained external market information the fastest.

His breathing was rough, and his face was deathly pale.

– What is it, Myojin.

As Unmyo stared coldly at him, Myojin dropped bombshell news before even catching his breath.

– A massive poisoning incident has occurred among Shinrak (Divine Delight) users!

– What did you say?

– Th-that’s impossible! Was that really true?

The meeting hall began to stir.

– According to what has been confirmed so far, after a certain amount of time passes after consumption, their strength slowly disappears. If not treated, it’s a terrifying scattering poison that gradually eats away at them until they eventually reach complete dissolution.

– Ah, aah.

– Cr-crazy! We need to sell it right now!

– It’s already too late. As this news spread, Shinrak prices have plummeted beyond crash levels to near worthlessness. The market is already flooded with those trying to sell Shinrak, but buyers have been completely wiped out.

The team leaders who had been listening in a daze began jumping up from their seats one by one.

– Th-that can’t be! Shinrak has been distributed as food material for years!

– Besides, it was a popular food ingredient with steady demand, and now suddenly it’s toxic? Does that make sense?

Panic had arrived.

Even as they shouted, they probably knew.

A few years in the universe is just an instant.

If someone wanted to commit fraud, it was enough time to prepare thoroughly.

– This is unfair!

– We need to find the supplier! We should request help from the Heavenly Cat Legion to punish them!

– How dare they commit fraud against Myo Shin-gung! Myo Wang should step forward for this!

The more the team leaders shouted, the colder Unmyo’s expression became like ice.

‘Worthless vermin.’

They got scammed themselves, and what?

Heavenly Cat Legion?

Myo Wang?

Have these bastards lost their minds!

– Ha.

A sigh escaped him.

The damage amount was clearly not trivial.

If this news reaches Myo Wang?

The one who would get stripped would be himself, the captain.

– Everyone shut up. From now on, if anyone babbles even one more word, I swear on this Unmyo’s name that I’ll slit your throat.

This was a different warning than before.

Real killing intent flowed out in streams.

As a Seongban-grade transcendent, if he set his mind to it, he could slice up all the team leaders here with a single gesture.

– It’s shameful that you lot are team leaders of the trade guild. Look at the newcomer from Myo Monthly Team. When that mere Choeip-grade transcendent was carefully observing the market, what were you doing? What did you do? Did you deliberate? Or did you investigate deeply? Or did you just get excited about making a big score together?

Rumble rumble rumble…!

The great hall began to shake.

– Today’s performance evaluation is meaningless. No, the performance evaluation for you lot will be the last one today anyway. Myorin!

– Yes, Captain!

– Dispose of all Shinrak from teams except Myo Monthly Team, and recover all remaining operational Sinhaekkeu. And imprison all team leaders except Yahwi in Shim-ok.

– C-Captain! We didn’t do it on purpose either… Kugh!

Unmyo’s fist was driven into the mouth of the team leader who opened his mouth.

Simultaneously.

Crack crack crack crack!

His face began to crumble.

– Didn’t I warn you? Does this seem like a joke? I said I’d kill anyone who babbled even a word, but opening your mouth means you’re ignoring me.

The team leaders completely froze.

This was the first time Unmyo had been this angry.

– Due to your judgment, Myo Shin-gung has suffered tremendous damage. You will have to pay the price in some way.

The Heavenly Cat Trade Guild is a core organization responsible for Myo Shin-gung’s finances and economy.

Since they handle not their own Sinhaekkeu, but the entire Myo Shin-gung’s Sinhaekkeu, they must be careful and cautious in everything.

But?

They failed to do so.

Caught up in get-rich-quick mentality, they didn’t even conduct basic reviews.

They simply followed blindly without analysis, swayed by crowd psychology.

Even more?

When losses occurred, they even showed signs of avoiding their own responsibility.

– You can never become trade guild team leaders again, ever.

As time passed.

Combat members from the Heavenly Cat Legion entered and took them away.

Only one.

Leaving only Yahwi behind.

Gulp.

Yahwi swallowed dry saliva.

An incident from just a few weeks ago came to mind.

His own image of gathering team members and being excited about how great it was that someone named Heukryeon was selling Shimlak cheaply…

‘I survived thanks to the newcomer.’

If it weren’t for him?

He too would have been dragged to Shim-ok just like them.

Being imprisoned in Shim-ok is equivalent to being expelled from Myo Shin-gung.

Forced labor to earn Sinhaekkeu for 10 years takes place, and you can neither gather strength nor escape.

– Yahwi.

– Yes, Captain.

– Our conversation isn’t over yet. So, setting aside that you predicted Shinrak was poison, why did you buy Eunwolcho? Don’t tell me Eunwolcho is an antidote for that scattering poison?

– …The newcomer said so.

– Really?

Unmyo’s expression became subtle.

Coming this far, even he found it strange.

How could a Choeip-grade newcomer know such things?

– Myojin.

– Yes, Captain.

– Go find out if that’s true.

– Yes!

Myojin rushed outside.

And not long after.

– C-Captain! It’s true!

– What?

– As the fact that Eunwolcho is the only antidote for Shinrak became known, prices are skyrocketing! Transcendents who don’t want to lose their power are shouting they’ll buy at any price! A place called Cheonmokjeong is releasing supplies, but since they disappear quickly, prices are soaring through the roof!

– …What?

Unmyo frantically searched through Myo Monthly Team’s performance report.

That newcomer!

How much Eunwolcho did that newcomer purchase?

It was written there.

[Eunwolcho Holdings: 1,034 pieces]

Tremble tremble.

Unmyo’s arm shook.

He bought this much?

– This is…

It was such a tremendous achievement that even he, a Seongban-grade transcendent, couldn’t fathom it.

A tremendous achievement that would more than make up for the losses incurred by those foolish team leaders!

– That newcomer! That newcomer saved our Myo Shin-gung!

Unmyo cried out in shock.

– Ahh.

Yahwi had to experience goosebumps rising all over his body.
