Chapter 202 How Can You Sell This? (1)

Arcadia’s highly developed economic system.

Price fluctuates according to production, supply and demand.

In various situations such as war or famine, the market prices of various items that move unpredictably made users walking on the merchant’s path cry and laugh.

“oh my god! Wheat prices skyrocketed by 60%!”

“Fuck! what’s this. I came here because jewelry was popular, but what is the price? It’s a loss if you subtract the transportation cost!”

“They say the metal business is pretty good these days…”

“When the hell are you talking about? These days, mainstream items are the best.”

Starting from local specialties to general consumer goods, the number alone exceeds thousands… tens of thousands of items. Among them, it was not so easy to select the items to obtain the best market profit and select the region to trade through the optimal route.

“General consumer goods sell well everywhere, so the risk is low… but the profit is smaller than expected.”

“Haa….. It’s a village in a mountainous area, so I thought the fish would sell well, but in the middle, the wagon was broken and everything rotted away. Damn it.”

“Dog baaaal! I’ve been robbed by thieves! Seriously, this dung mangeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Most of the users are trading with a small upper class. They were struggling with a hardcore spicy taste in Arcadia’s harsh economic system, which was full of all kinds of risks, but even in such a situation, there was definitely an upper end that reliably made huge profits.

“Brother, here is the balance sheet for this month.”

“Oh, give it to me.”

Choi Jae-gyu, the youngest son of GM Group.

He said with a frown as he checked the account statement presented by his assistant.

“what? Is this the only sales this month? It decreased by 13% compared to last month.”

13%.

Considering the economy in the game, which changes day by day, it was a number that could be dismissed as not a big deal, but after checking the record from the previous month, Jae-gyu, seeing the sales that had turned to a marked decline, asked the secretary with a ferocious look.

“Hey, don’t you want to do things right? Are you bringing this to me as a report? uh?”

Pararak.

Jae-gyu throws his boss’ proprietary technology report. His attendant didn’t change his expression even when he saw the wad of paper hitting him and flying around the office, saying calmly.

“It is an unavoidable situation. While the boy couldn’t connect, I was leading the top as much as possible, but as competitors continue to appear, there are many problems in maintaining the previous customers.”

In the aftermath of the power-hungry attack the other day, GM is in a position where they can’t even come close to the dwarves and elves. The GM Group emerged as a huge social concern and even received an emergency tax investigation by the National Tax Service as it was broadcast on terrestrial TV. In the aftermath, Jae-gyu was almost erased from the family register with Chairman Choon-sik Choi’s fierce anger, and although he barely survived, he was unable to even access the game.

[You bastard… from now on, don’t get involved in the GM corps or anything! I left it alone because I said I was good at it, but then I sprinkled ashes on the entire group? Do you know how much I struggled to keep quiet about this tax investigation? From now on, don’t get involved in virtual reality and learn your job straight!]

Even though he said that, it must have been a waste to abandon the GM corps, which had already grown into a huge corps worth hundreds of billions of won. It didn’t stop me from accessing the game and managing the guild.

“The main customer, Earl Kaizen of the Harmel Empire, suddenly cut off the deal. As a result, the trading volume of grains, which were the main focus of our Merchant Merchants, has plummeted. Inventory just keeps piling up. I’m looking into other vendors… but everyone’s response is lukewarm.”

Elves and Dwarves. The GM guild where the intermediary trade between different races and humans was blocked at the source. Because of this, they had no choice but to focus on their existing transactions, but even this was in a precarious situation. And at the report of the attendant, Jegyu took a deep breath and asked.

“Huh… is that because of the deal with the different races?”

“It is analyzed as such.”

“…Fuck!”

Quaang.

Unable to hold back his anger at those words, Jegyu fired a shotgun at the desk with his fist. After going mad for a while, he gasped, exhaled heavily, and murmured:

“Those scumbags who don’t know where they came from… dare to touch GM? me?”

Since he had been continuously reported to him through his assistant, Jaegyu was well aware of the cause of the sluggish performance of the GM upper management team.

[Huh….. Please save our company from the GM company!]

[All we want to do is play games with a small company.]

A video of GM’s abuse of power posted on Arfandia.

The pie top that appeared there and made a tearful appeal and aroused people’s sympathy.

I don’t know how the heck happened, but they rose to an incomparable level at the same time as the collapse of the top of GM, raising the stock price.

Exclusive trade rights with elves and dwarves.

The fraudulent right that anything must go through the top of the pie to trade with them. I don’t know how the hell they roasted and boiled the elves and dwarves to give them such ridiculous exclusive status, but as a result, the top of the pie hit the jackpot.

That is an unprecedented invitation.

“Top of the pie? Oh, if it’s their stuff, of course you can trust it.”

“I want to get a handicraft from a dwarven artisan… Do you have any connections at the top of your pie?”

“like? top of the pie? did you belong there? I’m sorry I didn’t know this. Pass. next!”

Even the lords, who freely traveled to and from any country just because they belonged to the top tier of the pie, were extremely picky with merchants and extorted money under all kinds of pretexts. There was no

In just a few months, the pie troupe has grown into a large troupe that no one knows on the second continent of Arcadia. Apple and Lemon, owners of the top who were hit by a huge amount of money in an instant. But these two weren’t satisfied with that in the slightest.

[I’m still hungry.]

With the declaration that they are hungry, they start diversifying their business areas with octopus-style expansion. They began to eat the market indiscriminately, regardless of field, and eventually began to take away even the top GM customers.

Pudeudeuk.

Jegyu gnashing his teeth hard enough to worry that he might break his whole body as if he was angry just thinking about it. Seeing him like that, the attendant carefully took the fortune.

“If this continues, the operating loss will increase and the situation will worsen. I’m persuading the lords… but I’m agitated, wondering why the upper lords aren’t directly involved. In order to rectify the situation, you must log back into the game.”

“…Who doesn’t know that and doesn’t do it? The president made such a fuss, so why would he just watch me log in again!”

Returning to the front line of operations at the upper level.

He knew better than anyone else that it was a must-do situation, but Jae-gyu couldn’t do that. It’s been only about 3 months since that month. I knew I had to go back someday, but it was too early to bring up such a story with Chairman Choi Chun-shik. However, his attendant secretary said with one face that he was resolute.

“I know it’s hard, Bocchan, but… you have to do it anyway.”

The top of the pie grows explosively as if it knows no bounds. In order to prevent even a little bit of their runaway, the GM Merchant Company desperately needed to survive and maintain the current level of scale. And in response to his sincere direct words, Jegyu didn’t say anything. He just sat there for a long time contemplating something with his mouth closed with a serious face.

And he got up from his seat scratching his head.

“Ah… fuck! I’m sure it’ll sound like a dog. ah! I don’t know!”

Jegyu jumped up from the chair with a face full of annoyance and swearing. He snatched the report he had just thrown from the attendant’s hand and said,

“I’m going to talk to the chairman, so until then, I’m waiting for you to organize all the current status of the GM corps, the situation in the game, and the damn pie corps information.”

Jae-gyu made the decision to declare that he would return to the game, prepared for the anger of Chairman Choi Chun-shik. Confirming his intention, the attendant nodded with a happy face and said,

“All right! I will have it ready right away!”

Choi Jae-kyu moves heavy steps into the office of Chairman Choi Chun-sik, leaving behind the smiling attendant secretary. He cursed at the top of the pie for creating such a dog-like situation.

and that day.

In the office of Chairman Choi Chun-shik, a huge roar and a dull sound, like an ashtray being thrown, continued to be heard.

* * *

A crystal ashtray blown on someone’s forehead and seeing blood or not.

Apple and Lemon, who run the top of the pie, greeted the benefactor they hadn’t seen in a long time and exchanged greetings brightly.

“Dex!”

“How you doing?”

Apple and Lemon rush to the elf village after seeing the note sent by Jaeyoung. Jaeyoung waved his hand with a slightly burdened look at the fierce reaction of those who greeted him.

“It was just a note asking me to come to the Elf Village if I had something to do… I didn’t expect it to come so quickly. You didn’t bother me for nothing, did you?”

“no way! no. I was in a situation where I had to stop by the elven village anyway.”

“that’s right! And if Dex-sama comes, of course we have to put aside our work and go find him. How great is the help you received.”

These two are overly loyal, sending shining eyes full of respect and envy. Jaeyoung smiled as he saw the changed appearance of the two differently from before.

“But… has it changed a lot in the past few months? Have you grown beyond your expectations?”

Apple and Lemon, formerly dressed as poor merchants.

However, the two of them now seemed to be well-groomed, yet they were wearing costumes that revealed the dignity of fancy merchants.

“Ah, is this…?”

“Hehe… It’s a bit expensive, but it’s because it’s the best equipment for merchants. I did a bit of overdoing it.”

Equipment only for merchants with a lot of stats that would make any merchant salivate. I don’t know, but looking at the natural design of the clothes, it looked like a set item, so I could tell just by looking at the amount of gold invested in the equipment.

“Well… you did well. Character development is the top priority. How’s the top… how’s it going? Are there any problems?”

Jaeyoung owns half of the upper part of the pie. Apple and Lemon proudly answered with confident faces to the questions asked as their business partners.

“It is the best.”

“Maybe you’ll be surprised by the size of our flagship top?”

The story of the top of the pie started from then.

What happened after Jaeyoung left.

The stories that started pouring in as if the water had burst continued to burst forth without a break. Lemon, who had been chattering for almost an hour as if he wasn’t getting tired. She looked at Jaeyoung, who was listening to her with a small smile, and suddenly realized that she had been talking too much.

“Oh my. sorry. I’ve been talking too much. I’m so excited that I don’t even know…”

“No. Well… there were a lot of interesting things.”

Jaeyoung smiled and waved his hand as if he was okay. Apple asked him cautiously.

“Um… but Dex-sama. Why did you call us…?”

“Oh that’s it. I want to give you what you asked for.”

“yes? Did you ask for it?”

Apple asks back with a questionable look, as if they asked for something. In response to his question, Jaeyoung took something out of his inventory.

cooong.

A huge white object fell to the floor with a huge roar.

Seeing this, Apple and Lemon opened their mouths in amazement.

“This one?”

“Oh my God…”

Jaeyoung asked with a smile at the two of them, who seemed to have lost their souls.

“You sent it by note the other day. If you have something to catch and sell a dragon, please use the top of the pie.”

open-eyed eyelids. Sharp teeth that could bite through even steel.

The skull of Kervenian, a red dragon the size of a two-story building.

Putting it down, he said.

“Please dispose of this for me. Please accept the moderately high price.”
