Only I Have Two Towers Episode 069

Travel Preparations

A cafe located in Yongsan District Office.

Jin Yun-ho, who was sipping his iced coffee, scratched his head.

“Haha… This is embarrassing. I showed you such an unsightly side of me this morning. I’m sorry.”

He patted his chest.

He really aged ten years just now.

He could guarantee that his heart dropped more than when he messed up his college entrance exam answer sheet.

“It’s fine. You have work responsibilities after all. But I’ve been curious about something. What team are you the manager of, Yun-ho?”

“Oh, me? You can think of me as a general manager who does a bit of everything.”

“Ooh.”

“It’s not a good thing. I handle all sorts of miscellaneous tasks like response, suppression, player management, and so on. But I can’t influence independent departments like support or external cooperation.”

He squeezed his eyes shut.

This was all thanks to Personnel Director Lee Chang-gi’s grace.

“But is there a reason you chose China as your first overseas travel destination? This is personal curiosity, not as a Hunter Bureau team manager.”

Usually, when someone goes abroad for the first time, they typically go to nearby Japan.

Or if they go a bit farther, they choose familiar places like Vietnam or Thailand.

Since people don’t usually choose China as their first travel destination, Jin Yun-ho was even more surprised this morning.

“I heard the scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is really beautiful. I want to go hiking and get some fresh air.”

Jin Yun-ho nodded.

Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok, who had climbed the tower without taking a single day off since his awakening.

Yesterday he climbed to high-difficulty floors using compression tickets, so it was no wonder he was tired.

“I think it’s a good decision. Sometimes it’s necessary to put everything down and take a rest. But you need to be a bit careful with mountains in China.”

“Because the terrain is rough?”

“Rather than that, I heard many people have hidden in the mountains since the emergence of awakening. As you know, China is a communist country, so player management is strict. They try to keep everyone under control somehow.”

People who entered as ordinary citizens, but ended up turning to crime as awakened individuals trying to survive there.

Naturally, tourists visiting from abroad were the easiest targets.

“Thank you for letting me know. I’ll be careful.”

“I’d like to arrange a Hunter Bureau private jet for you if I could, but since the destination is China, it’s not easy.”

The combination of the completely unknown Yoo Jin-hyeok and a Hunter Bureau private jet.

The moment he entered the country, China would question this unnatural combination.

“It’s fine. I already booked a ticket anyway.”

“Since I can’t help you with nothing, I called the passport department. You should be able to receive it this afternoon.”

“Wow, thank you. I was worried about how I’d wait a whole month.”

Jinhyeok quickly adjusted his flight ticket date.

Without any further delay, he was departing this evening.

Jin Yun-ho, who had emptied his cup, watched Jinhyeok’s beaming expression.

He wanted to ask.

Wouldn’t it be more fun to go with Hunter Cheon Se-yeon?

But since Jinhyeok seemed to want rest, he decided to hold back.

“What are your plans after this?”

“I’m going to Dongdaemun.”

“Let’s go together. I’ll give you a ride.”

He stood up with words of gratitude.

He was about to take a taxi anyway, so this worked out well.

Dongdaemun Market.

‘Business is really booming.’

Yeon Sanghoei, which he visited after a long time, was truly thriving.

Even though they had hired two or three employees, Yoo Su-yeon looked incredibly busy.

“You’re here?”

Oh Jae-gap casually struck up a conversation.

Jinhyeok stared at Oh Jae-gap, who looked incredibly leisurely.

“Hello, grandfather. But aren’t you opening the General Store?”

“There are no customers if I open now, so what’s the point? I’ll open later when the auction house closes.”

His own niche strategy.

“No need to worry. Business is better than before.”

Indeed, the General Store’s sales had increased significantly compared to before.

Customers who came after seeing the auction house would visit the General Store when items ran out.

He was properly benefiting from the auction house’s trickle-down effect.

“Eat this. A taffy shop opened in the market.”

“I’ll enjoy it.”

He chewed on the sweet pumpkin taffy for a moment.

“That’s it for today! Thank you for visiting our trading company today! Everyone, get home safely!”

Hurriedly!

Oh Jae-gap gave him the rest of the taffy and disappeared to prepare for business.

Jinhyeok, who gave the taffy to Momo and Kancheo, walked toward the trading company.

“Oh! Jinhyeok!”

Yoo Su-yeon ran out, waving her hand happily.

“Come this way today!”

Suyeon guided him somewhere, leaving behind the trading company where employees were cleaning up.

The place they arrived at was a huge warehouse.

“Word of mouth has spread a lot, and many players want to sell items. So I ambitiously rented this place!”

“That’s great. The trading company is growing bigger and bigger.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Jinhyeok. Since you bring so many quality items, we’ve gained many regular customers. Even customers’ acquaintances visit, making every day a huge success. Oh right! Next month, the outlet said they’d give us space, so we completed the contract! We’re opening a second store.”

Tremendous rapid growth.

He couldn’t help but applaud.

Indeed, a born merchant was different somehow.

“Oh! Hello Momo too! I’m always late with greetings.”

Suyeon finally noticed Momo and waved her hand.

“Hello!”

Momo also waved and began unpacking Flix’s bag.

“There’s quite a lot today.”

Since it had been a while, there were tons of accumulated parts.

Especially, there were an enormous amount of parts from Elder Centipede from the 40-4th Floor.

“Kuheoook…!”

Suyeon, who examined the items, shook her head back and forth.

“This is incredible? Especially these centipede scales are in such good condition, they’ll sell for a really high price.”

Pristine condition with no trace of damage.

It was a natural result since Seira had sliced it in half with one blow.

Suyeon clapped like a seal, saying the centipede meat and legs were also in excellent condition.

He could already hear the sound of money pouring in.

“About how much would this be?”

“With so many of these good scales, wouldn’t it be at least over 2 billion won?”

‘Wow.’

Internally surprised, Jinhyeok took out his phone.

And he changed his flight class to business and repaid.

2 billion won, this was worth it.

‘It would have been incredible if I had sold things like kidneys and gallbladders too.’

He had given all of those to Ellia, who drooled saying she wanted to make medicine.

She was still in the workshop, diligently making potions for her friends to drink.

‘Sorry Ellia.’

I felt a bit guilty for making the Star Sage and alchemist only brew potions all the time.

“Jinhyeok. If it’s alright with you, how about we come to your place to pick up items from now on? It must be tiring for you to come all the way here every time.”

Yoo Su-yeon said they were building their own logistics chain so they could buy and sell items even from distant regions.

“Of course, I’ll personally come to pick up your items, Jinhyeok. If someone else picks them up, there’s a chance they might find out you’re a Runner.”

“Oh, then I’d be grateful. Here’s my address.”

“Yes! Then please contact me and I’ll come pick them up! But aren’t you going to make armor for yourself with these scales, Jinhyeok? Even I, who don’t know much about this, can tell this is really good material.”

Jinhyeok took out a bundle of scales from his inventory and showed them.

“I was actually planning to go look for a blacksmith today.”

Scales that were light yet had equally high defense.

He was planning to get a full set made this time.

“An excellent choice!”

“If I find a skilled and wealthy blacksmith, I’ll introduce you.”

“As expected of Jinhyeok!”

He smiled as he exchanged a fist bump with Yoo Su-yeon.

Since he had emptied his inventory, all that remained was equipment setup.

Before going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, before using the 40th floor compression ticket, he planned to maximize his power as much as possible.

With the money accumulated in his account and this exchange voucher he received from Jin Seo-hee.

Pellid Department Store.

As soon as he arrived, he headed to the armor section.

Among them, Jinhyeok examined the shoes.

If there was one thing he realized while climbing the Tower, it was that shoes were really important.

Especially since movement speed affected both attack and evasion, he wanted to increase it first.

“Welcome. What kind of shoes are you looking for? We have everything from ones with various magic resistances to items that restore health just by wearing them.”

“I’m looking for something with high movement speed. It would be even better if I could use it outside.”

“There is a perfect item, but it’s quite expensive.”

“Could you show it to me?”

His balance was 500 million, but he had about 2 billion coming in.

He figured it would be fine to spend generously here.

“Uh… um…”

The store manager made a somewhat troubled expression.

The shoes were located in the VIP section.

While there wasn’t officially an entry restriction, it was an unspoken rule to only let in customers the department store officially recognized as VIPs.

Just as he wondered if he had said something wrong.

Swoosh.

A black card was extended before his eyes.

“!!!”

Black with golden letters engraved on it.

It was definitely an exchange voucher that Pellid gave to VVIPs.

“Please wait a moment, sir. Let me look this up.”

# Jin Seo-hee, CEO of Generose, a subsidiary of Genex.

Question marks appeared on the store manager’s face.

He knew Jin Seo-hee well too.

She wasn’t someone who would give exchange vouchers to others, so how did he have this?

Just then, he recalled a conversation from influencers who visited earlier today.

– I heard from friends who were on the Newcalliope. CEO Jin Seo-hee apparently has a boyfriend now.

– What? That ice-cold person?

– She always said in interviews that she doesn’t look at appearance and only at personality, but I guess that was a lie.

– Wow, I’m so curious. Who managed to conquer that cold person? So what’s that man’s name?

The store manager cleared his throat a few times and carefully spoke.

“May I know your name? Identity verification is required when using exchange vouchers.”

“It’s Yoo Jin-hyeok. I received the exchange voucher as a gift from someone I know.”

A bright smile appeared on the store manager’s face.

Despite his modest attire, his handsome appearance couldn’t be hidden, and his clearly sturdy build too.

It was just as he had heard.

“Please come this way. I’ll guide you to the VIP section.”

“Thank you.”

After going through several security procedures, they arrived at the VIP section.

Indeed, every single item looked expensive.

The store manager went deep inside and reached out his hand.

“This is the shoe I mentioned earlier. It’s called Hermes’ Shoes. Level requirement 45, Unique grade, movement speed increase 200, and it even has a unique effect that reduces the wearer’s weight to less than 1 kilogram. You’ll probably be able to walk on water. Of course, it can be used both in the Tower and outside. This is a recently acquired item and you’re the first person I’m showing it to. If word gets out that this exists, everyone will come running to buy it.”

‘Ooooh!’

Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled.

It had no defense, but that didn’t matter.

What was important was speed.

“How much is it?”

“It’s currently being sold for 10 billion.”

His jaw almost dropped.

Even combining all the money he would receive later, it was nowhere near enough.

“Can I buy it with this exchange voucher?”

“Hahahaha!”

The store manager burst into laughter for some reason.

Then the store manager’s expression changed to stern, serious, and solemn.

“For a single item, there is no item that cannot be purchased with this exchange voucher. Would you like to proceed with the purchase?”

Jinhyeok swallowed his dry saliva and nodded.

She had told him to spend generously and buy what he wanted.

It should be fine, right?
