I Became A Mechanic - Chapter 59
Jeong Dae-nam met Kim Hyun-woo, a miner of the same age who worked together at a cafe.
Kim Hyeon-woo said that Dae-nam Jeong was afraid to sit down.
“He said that the Aegis underground workshop was a success?”
“Uh huh.”
“How the hell did that timid bastard do such a thing?”
“Ye-soo is so eccentric… … .”
“What happened?”
“How will it be… gotta watch But what about the earth square?”
Kim Hyun-woo said insignificantly.
“No, just. There are rumors that Aegis is working on the pillar.”
Jeong Dae-nam asked as if he was puzzled because he had never heard of the rumor.
“Have there been such rumors?”
“I think I did my first hunt there. So it seems like there are words like that.”
“ah… … .”
Kim Hyeon-woo looked at Jeong Dae-nam and said implicitly.
“Actually, if I’m going to call a miner in Korea, it’s either you or me. If you ever call me to work on a pillar, let’s do it together. Whoever you call.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Did you get a call from Aegis?”
Jeong Dae-nam remembered Jun-woo’s words to keep it a secret, so he looked around awkwardly.
“No, not yet… … .”
“If you come and talk to me, let’s do it together. I’ll call you when I get in touch. Your team and the kids on our team should work together to make a lot of money. You don’t have a job these days.”
“yes… I know what you mean. We’ll need a lot of people… … .”
Kim Hyun-woo drank coffee and nodded while looking at Jeong Dae-nam.
“I called you to say that. Seongpan also heard about him.”
“Uh… I’ll call you when I get in touch.”
“Thank you, I will.”
“Let’s have a drink next time.”
“Oh, then.”
“I have an appointment, so I’ll go first.”
Kim Hyun-woo got up and left the cafe.
Kim Hyun-woo, who came out, picked up his cell phone and called somewhere.
“That’s me. This is the way to go out with a friend who just worked as a manager at that time.”
The person who answered the call was Baek Jin-seong of the Poongrim Guild.
“Thank you. Didn’t that person work with you?”
“Oh, I didn’t say anything. That friend is also a cowardly guy, so I can’t get into a job like this.”
“Is that so? There’s nothing wrong with it.”
“But can you afford this? If you make a mistake, you will be in big trouble.”
“You just have to make them think that they did it on the Dark Star side. Do not worry.”
Kim Hyun-woo laughed.
“Heh heh, I see. We’re working, and when we’re almost done, can we just call in the middle?”
“Yes, we will take care of the rest.”
“I wish I could work quickly. But I don’t know if I can get through it. I don’t know if there are a lot of unique foreign children singing.”
“Well, he must have a way. I also built a flying car.”
“It was terrific. Anyway, I see. We will contact you when we get to work.”
“You know that the members of your team should not know until you start working on it, right?”
“Sure. Then I hang up.”
Hyunwoo Kim hung up the phone and shook his head with a smile on his face.
“Why are there so many thieves? Ttttttttt.”
It was Kim Hyun-woo, who was walking with his tongue.
* * *
Jun-woo drew a blueprint at night to prepare for the auction, and made the blueprint into an item during the day.
The items to be used in the auction were created one by one over time.
However, all of the 10 items to be used in the auction were heavily used magic crystals.
People knew that an alchemist’s inventions contained a lot of magic crystals.
After the auction went on, it seemed like it would be like giving wings to the still rising price of magic crystals.
The point when the magic crystal price started to rise was precisely when Jun-woo sold the Adamantium watch by hiding his identity as Producer G.
Magic crystals were the main material for alchemists, and when maker G sold Adamantium watches, smart material dealers expected the price of magic crystals to rise.
In addition, while Jun-woo was imprisoned in Gwanggyo Mountain, the price of magic crystals rose faster because Walker spent all his fortunes to buy magic crystals abroad.
Because of that, it is now about 60% higher than it was then.
It was already known that it was because of him that the price of magic crystals went up publicly.
After releasing the invention, I didn’t know how much higher it would go up than it is now.
After a certain increase, the price would fall again according to demand.
He told Park Jun-seong, who was working on his own materials, to buy a magic stone, but the guild members were unaware of it.
So, for a while, Jun-woo thought about whether to raise the guild members’ gold and buy a magic stone.
But it didn’t.
If you did, it seemed to have a bad effect on the guild image.
Jun-woo stopped worrying about the magic stone and set the auction date as scheduled.
The next day, an announcement appeared on the Lewis website.
[Lewis conducts an invention auction. A total of 10 inventions will be sold at the auction, and 20% of the total revenue generated will be used for those who have been damaged by monsters. We look forward to your participation and interest.]
And the news spread quickly.
Four days later, on the day of the auction, invited people from all over the world flocked with the guild members.
I could see the marks of the guilds that are said to be overseas, and I could see the world-famous heads of the upper ranks.
Yoshimura trembled as he looked down from the fourth floor.
“Hey, Zhengnan from China has also come, Sukudo from Japan, Yokichi Sangsan, Wow, Benjamin from America also came. But what about the masked people in black suits?”
There were many people who covered the guild mark with stickers and came in black suits and masks.
Murata said.
“There’s nothing wrong with being careful, because you could be a target for a crime while buying an auction item.”
“Still, some crazy people will touch you now. I don’t know if it’s a monster that has invaded through the rift.”
People wearing black suits and masks entered the auditorium room on the second floor with their invitations checked.
There seemed to be 170 people who came in according to the dress code, and about 130 people who didn’t.
After everyone sat down in their designated seats, the auctioneer appeared on the platform.
“This is Chan Lee, who is in charge of the auction. First of all, thank you for attending. We would like to inform you that a portion of the proceeds from today’s auction will be used for those who have suffered damage from monsters.”
The auctioneer continued.
“Before the auction starts, I hope you have checked whether there is anything wrong with the interpreter.”
Said the auctioneer, who had been in a hurry once again.
“Today’s auction is the brainchild of creator Lewis. First of all, I would like to inform you that the first of the inventions of creator Lewis are all in gold.”
People’s eyes lit up even more.
“The product description will be provided by the manufacturer, Mr. Lewis. First of all, I will have the producer, Sir Lewis, in his place.”
Jun-woo went up to the platform and walked towards the center.
The appearance of Jun-woo made some people’s eyes sharp.
Some of them came to see Jun-woo rather than participate in the auction.
“This is the producer Lewis Lee Jun-woo. First of all, I would like to thank all the distinguished guests who participated. We would like to inform you in advance that the auction items to be sold today will be sold through Lewis in the future.”
Jun-woo looked around to the left and said,
“And to remind you once again that the first creations were made in golden color to give meaning to them, and we will present our first auctions.”
The lights in the auditorium were turned off, and a spotlight focused on Jun-woo.
Jun-woo pulled out a soccer ball-sized magic lamp with an impressive round golden border from the item window.
“The first auction is a magic light. Existing magic lights only floated in the air when installed. But it depends on the user’s mana.”
The light that was next to Jun-woo’s head hovered around Jun-woo.
“I usually use light magic when hunting in dark places. However, using light magic is effectively throwing away a skill, so I made this magic lamp to prevent that.”
An option for magic lights appeared on the screen.
[Magic Light]
-Rank: Epic+
-Durability: 500/500
-Health: 3.000
-Defense: 145
-Effect: It emits a powerful light that illuminates the field of vision, and its position can be changed by the user’s mana.
– Item value: 1,100,000,000
-Producer: Lewis
And after a while, all the light bulbs on the pulpit came on.
said the auctioneer.
“Let’s start the auction of the first auction item, the magic light. The starting price of the auction is 1 billion gold, and I will ask for 10 million gold.”
An electronic billboard announcing the price lit up behind the head of the auctioneer Chan Lee.
One billion gold was written on it.
“When you press the paid button, the price goes up by 10 million gold. Then let’s get started.”
When the person wearing the mask pressed the button, the number of electronic signage that was illuminating 1 billion gold became 1.10 billion gold.
“One billion, ten million, twenty million, fifty million, 1.1 billion, 1.15 billion, six thousand, seven thousand. 1.2 billion, I will quote 20 million gold in 5 seconds.”
Auctioneer Chan Lee continued.
“Prices are 5, 4, 3, 2, 12, and 20 million gold. 1.22 billion, 1.24 billion, 600, 880, 1.3 billion, 1.34 billion, 1.4 billion, 1.5 billion, 5 seconds later, 30 million gold will be quoted.”
The price went up quickly.
“Prices are 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 30 million gold.”
Electronic billboards illuminating prices continued to rise.
“The price is 50 million gold each. 2 billion, 2,055, 2.1 billion, 2.15 billion, 2.2 billion, 5 seconds later, 100 million gold will be quoted.”
Jun-woo felt strange when he saw the rising price.
I was living in a world where the value of an item was fixed.
People had a strong tendency not to buy if they sold at a price higher than the value of the item.
Usually, the transaction was carried out at that price that was set in value.
But as if it had been completely forgotten, the price continued to rise.
Jun-woo wondered where their madness would go.
“I will quote 500 million gold each. We will quote 4.5 billion, 5 billion, 5.5 billion, 6 billion, 6.5 billion, and 700 million gold after 5 seconds.”
It was over 6 times the value of the item.
“We will quote 1 billion gold after 7.2 billion, 7.9 billion, 8.6 billion, 9.3 billion and 1005 billion seconds. We will quote 5, 4, 3, 2, 11 billion gold each.”
Electronic signage stopped at 10 billion.
A moment of silence passed.
“11 billion, 12 billion, 13 billion, 13 billion, 13 billion. Without more, 14 billion, 15 billion, 16 billion, 16 billion, 17 billion, 17 billion. If there are no more, I will bid 3 times and finish. Numbers 17 billion, 17 billion, 17 billion, and 125 have been awarded. congratulations.”
Jun-woo walked to seat 125.
The person sitting was a man in a black suit and mask.
Jun-woo spoke to him and held out his hand.
“Thank you for participating in the auction.”
He shook hands once and opened the trading window without a word.
And the golden magic lamp was sold on the spot for 17 billion gold.
said the auctioneer.
“Please applaud the successful bidder and producer.”
The sound of applause filled the pulpit, and Jun-woo returned to his seat with applause.
“Next, let me introduce you to the second auction.”
The lights in the auditorium were turned off, and Jun-woo started explaining the product again under the lights.
The second thing Jun-woo took out was a flashlight with an impressive golden handle.
“The second auction is a recovery flashlight. As you may have noticed from the name, this item has a healing effect. To put it simply, it is similar to the heel used by the clergy.”
Jun-woo shined a flashlight on his chest.
“At the gate, when hunting a party, there are many cases of hunting without a priest because the priest is not found. A lot of potions are consumed at that time, and too much potion can make you full. So I made it.”
[Recovery Flashlight]
-Rank: Epic+
-Durability: 500/500
-Effect: Restores 20 health per second.
– Item value: 1,550,000,000
-Producer: Lewis
The lights came on in the auditorium, and the auctioneer said.
“Let’s start the auction for the second auction item, the Restoration Flashlight. The starting price of the auction is 1.5 billion gold, and we will bid for 50 million gold to speed up the process.”
Each time the button was pressed, the price of the electronic sign went up by 50 million gold.
It went up by 100 million, and the auction price that went up continuously reached 1 billion again.
“If there are no more, we will bid three times and finish it. No. 21 billion, 21 billion, 21 billion, and 125 have been sold. congratulations.”
He was the same person who bought the magic lamp.
Jun-woo walked in front of him to trade again.
“Thank you for winning the bid twice.”
The corner of the mouth of number 125, visible through the mask, seemed to rise slightly.
