Chapter 163 Exchange Jewel 3

The borders on the directly managed areas of the Great Lord Aksa have been strengthened.

However, the strength of the main unit was naturally reduced as the borders on the directly managed areas were strengthened.

Naturally, the pressure felt by the great lord Codygi had to be reduced.

It is, of course, a very small amount, though.

‘It’s still worth trying.’

Hyunseong looked at the direct management of Aksa Daeyoungju with cold eyes.

With just one raid, Hyunseong gained a lot of money.

Manastones, skill books and other items, food, etc.

However, this was only a part of the wealth in the direct management of the Great Lord Aksa.

There were very few high ranks, and most of them were only rare or heroic.

‘Perhaps the real treasure is kept deep inside the fortress.’

But attacking the resistance was too dangerous.

It was not easy to escape as it was the heart of the enemy camp.

‘Let’s wait for a moment.’

Hyunseong calmly waited for the time.

‘I’m not very patient.’

full moon.

For the past fortnight, the Great Lord of Aksa engaged in small local warfare instead of a large-scale attack.

However, after a fortnight had passed, the patience of Highlord Aksa ran out.

Highlord Aksa led the entire army and raided Highlord Kodigi’s forces.

Hyunseong double-checked the information he had just obtained.

‘Let’s wait.’

In my mind, I wanted to attack right away.

But the time was not yet.

One month has passed.

For a month, Lord Aksa and Lord Kodigi fought fiercely.

However, Highlord Aksa moved quite cautiously.

He didn’t even send the servant who gave the blessing to the battlefield.

Thanks to that, Great Lord Codygi was able to breathe.

No, he was more active than just sighing.

High Lord Codygi first counterattacked strongly by using class-exclusive skills such as territorial declaration or overlord’s blessing.

When the situation became like this, even the Great Lord Aksa couldn’t stand it any longer.

Highlord of Aksa has used Overlord’s Blessing. The two armies are fighting fiercely.

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips when he saw the report of his subordinate.

Hyunseong used the skill behind the dimension to move deep into the enemy territory.

– Attack.

After that, Hyunseong gave instructions to his servants through the cry of the overlord.

Hyunseong quietly watched the battle while using the skill behind the dimension.

Not long after, there was a great commotion.

At the same time, the troops in the direct control area began to rush to the place where the commotion occurred.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Hyunseong was absent from this operation.

Instead, he put in another one.

Samon.

He was not as strong as Lucia or Tamug.

But that could change in an instant.As long as Hyunseong blesses the victorious overlord.

Samon, who received Hyunseong’s blessing, Lucia, Partisia, and Tamug are running rampant.

Of course, things didn’t come easy.

‘It won’t be easy to get rid of.’

The news of the attack must have come to High Lord Aksa as well.

However, only one subject can receive the overlord’s blessing.

It was the same with the great lords.

‘If it was possible for two people, the victory or defeat of the war would have already been decided.’

A state in which the servants who have received the overlord’s blessing are battling each other.

If you retrieve the blessings you have already placed and give the blessings to the servants in the directly managed areas, you will be able to protect the directly managed areas.

However, the main force fighting the great lord Codygi had no choice but to suffer serious damage.

‘At first, I thought it was only beneficial to the great lord Codygi.’

That wasn’t it.

This raid also helped Hyunseong a lot.

“It’s low!”

“Stop the enemies!”

When the commotion was not suppressed, the troops that were defending the resistance moved in the end.

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips.

– The resistance force has moved. to withdraw.

Hyunseong, who gave instructions through the overlord’s cry, drew a new blood sword.

Now it was time to rob the treasury of the great lord of Aksa.

‘No matter how tightly you hide it, it’s Goku in the palm of the Buddha’s hand.’

Over the past month and a half, Hyunseong has increased his stats by hunting.

At the same time, he periodically spyed out the inner resistance of the Great Lord Aksa.

It was possible because of the skill behind the dimension.

Perhaps if Aksa Great Lord was in the resistance, he would have been caught even if he used the dimensional backside skill.

But Highlord Aksa was out on the battlefield.

‘Even if all the troops in other places were gone, even the troops here didn’t fall out.’

The troops guarding the treasure trove were standing guard as usual, as if they had nothing to do with external disturbances.

‘I don’t have much time.’

He ordered his men to retreat, so perhaps the troops that were guarding the fortress will return soon.

Scratch!

Hyunseong, who appeared, blew the head of the enemy chief.

The faces of the players who were on the alert in the sudden situation were colored with astonishment.

However, he immediately raised his magic and prepared for battle.

blatantly!

A cold chill swept over their bodies.

I tried to defend myself with skills, but… … .

‘Magic Field.’

When Hyunseong opened the magic field, the skill did not function properly.

‘It is worthwhile to hunt hard.’

Hyunseong’s stat has been steadily rising.

In addition, when he faced 10,000 troops of the Great Lord Sekira and when he raided the territory of the Great Lord Aksa, he cut a huge number of players.

As a result, Hyunseong was able to get the enemy player predator achievement and the enemy player slayer achievement.

The increased magical power through hunting and achievements became the basis of the magic field and weighed down on the players who guarded the treasure house of the Great Lord Aksa.

Awkward!

The bodies of the players guarding the treasure trove turned into ice cubes.

Whik! Aaaaaaaaah!The defensive items guarding the treasure trove were shattered.

bum bum.

Hyunseong smiled brightly as she looked at the treasure house of the Great Lord of Aksa.

Manastones and items were piled up like a mountain.

He wasn’t without stalls, like when he robbed a warehouse in the outskirts.

‘All of them are legendary or semi-mythical.’

It was surprising that such high-grade manastones and items were scattered around.

Hyunseong opened the subspace and swept in the magic stones and items.

Unfortunately, there were no Mythic or Transcendental level manastones or items.

‘Is the real treasure kept by the lord himself in the subspace?’

It was probably very likely.

Because Hyunseong would have done the same.

‘It’s like this is the amount of treasure I’ve collected separately without keeping it in a space.’

In the invaders’ dimension, things like gold, silver, or jewels are not so great treasures.

Although it was valuable as a currency, even a low-ranking lord did not have much interest in gold and silver.

It was the magic stones and items that gave the lords the value of real money.

Therefore, even the lords of lower territories stockpiled a lot of mana stones and items.

Of course, most were rare or heroic.

In the case of the lower lords, they learned from the legend level themselves, or if not, they were kept by the subspace.

However, Daeyoung was definitely different.

‘That’s the amount of money you have stored up for the operation of the estate.’

I wondered how many treasures were hidden in the subspace of the Great Lord.

Aaaaah!

Hyunseong’s subspace swept away all the magic stones and items in the treasure chest.

The magic of the players running towards this place from afar was sensed by Shinan’s skill.

‘I’m going now.’

Hyunseong used his dimensional backskill to hide himself and then quickly escaped his introspection.

Hyunseong, who used the skill behind the dimension, and the players running in a hurry crossed each other.

‘Thank you.’

Having obtained the treasure, Hyunseong thanked him and left the direct management of Aksa Daeyeongju.

* * *

High Lord Aksa’s face twisted fiercely.

His subordinates were not sure what to do while watching the eyes of the great lord of Aksa.

“How not once, but twice!”

Highlord Aksa howled like a wounded beast.

The direct management site was attacked.

The treasure trove was stolen.

It is enough to repair the damaged direct management site.

It is enough to refill the empty treasure trove.

Anyway, the real treasure was contained in the subspace of the Great Lord Aksa.

However, the damaged face could not be restored by anything.

It wasn’t just the outsiders being attacked.

resistance is broken

Whoops!

Highlord Aksa clenched his teeth.

“I will surely repay you for today’s humiliation.”

In order to do that, we had to put an end to the power of the Great Lord Codygi first.

Even while maintaining the direct management.“Send additional troops to thoroughly defend the territory under direct control.”

Most of the lower ranks have been lost.

If they even lost their direct control, they had no choice but to experience difficulties in supplying military supplies and combat supplies.

‘For the time being, I will go with your rhythm.’

If the troops were removed from the main unit, the war with the Great Lord Codygi had to be a little longer.

‘Nothing will change.’

No matter how hard he tried, the result was decided anyway.

In the end, Lord Codygi will have no choice but to kneel in front of him.

* * *

Hyunseong was again absorbed in the hunt and gathered as much information as possible from the invader level.

Meanwhile, he got a call from someone he didn’t expect at all.

He completed Jewel 3 of Exchange.

With a short text… … .

-Employer Gespit has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

The message of hiring a mercenary that I haven’t seen in a long time came to Hyunseong’s eyes.

Hyunseong chose yes without hesitation.

Wrath!

With a bright halo, Hyunseong’s figure disappeared from the invader dimension.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a workshop with a familiar appearance.

Guest stared at Hyunseong with tired eyes and his eyes flashed.

“What has happened in the past?”

Guest didn’t hide his surprise and asked Hyunseong.

‘It’s still a long way off.’

Hyunseong muttered to himself.

In Guest’s eyes, his growth was clearly visible.

However, Hyunseong could not sense the power of the guest at all.

This was proof that there was still a huge gap between Guest and Hyunseong.

‘Even the high lords will be just children in front of Guest.’

The moment Gespit descended, it was certain that the dimensions of the invaders would be destroyed as they were.

Because Gespit was an absolute who escaped the bridle.

“We are staying at the level of the invaders.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Guest put on a happy expression.

“It’s pretty good. One thing to watch out for. If you make a mistake, your life may be in danger.”

At Geth’s words, Hyunseong nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“But I heard that he has completed Jewel 3 of Exchange.”

“Yes. It will take some time to mass-produce, but once it is made, it is done. Would you like to check the performance?”

Hyunseong nodded his head at Geth Pitt’s words.

Guest gave Hyunseong two smartphones.

Hyunseong accepted two smartphones.

‘Is the exchange jewel 3 used here?’

Hyunseong tested the speed with two smartphones.

The results were surprising.

It was incredibly fast.

It took less than 10 seconds to move the capacity of 2 gigabytes.

“It’s amazing.”

slower than Earth’s communication speed.

If the communication speed of the Earth was continuously developed, 1 second was enough.

However, considering that the jewel of exchange can exchange information across dimensions and dimensions, it was literally a tremendous speed.

It’s not even 1 minute and 10 minutes, it’s the difference between 1 second and 10 seconds.

1 minute and 10 minutes feel great, but 1 second and 10 seconds don’t feel much difference.

A confident expression appeared on the guest’s face.

“What is the production cost and usage fee?”

Hyunseong asked Guest with a feeling of a merchant expecting the commerciality of the delivered goods.

But even if he didn’t listen, he seemed to know the answer.

He had the confident Guess Pitt’s face contorted into a mess.

“It’s amazing.”

Hyunseong’s expression was colored with absurdity.

The production cost has risen nearly three times compared to the Jewel of Exchange 2.

It was quite expensive, but considering the performance difference between AC Jewel 2 and AC Jewel 3, it was a cost that could be afforded.

No, it was actually cheap.

The problem was the usage fee for Gem of Exchange 3.

The usage fee was 30 times higher than that of Exchange Jewel 2.

“Even though the production cost is the same, the usage fee is a problem. Can we commercialize this?”

Hyunseong asked Guest with a worried expression.

“I do not know. However, it is unreasonable to lower the usage fee no matter how hard we try.”

“Well… … .”

Hyunseong pondered for a moment.

Hyunseong focused on popularity when selling jewelry of alternating current.

Therefore, in the case of Jewel of Exchange 1, which was first released, the more it was sold, the more it suffered a loss rather than a profit.

But Hyunseong boldly pushed forward.

This is because he thought it was important to first secure a large user pool even if he suffered a loss rather than earning points by selling Gem 1 of Exchange.

Hyunseong’s boldness really shined.

This is because the sale of cultural goods, including games, more than made up for the deficit created by selling the Jewel of Exchange 1.

“Are you planning to sell this at a loss too?”

Hyunseong pondered for a moment at Guest’s words.

But the conclusion was set.

“no. It doesn’t have to be cheap and it shouldn’t be.”

“if?”

“We pay a premium as much as possible. How about 300 trillion points?”

“what?”

Guest’s face was stained with embarrassment.

Gem of Flow 3 is an improved version of Gem of Flow 2.

AC’s Jewel 2 was a refinement of AC’s Jewel 1.

So, in the case of Jewel of Exchange 3, the production cost was only about 10 trillion points.

“Are you saying you’re going to sell something that costs 30 times more points by attaching a 30-fold read door?”

The guest didn’t understand.

Gespit thought that when Hyunseong sold AC Jewel 3, he would pursue a low-price strategy as when he sold AC Jewel 1.

Even if you consume 30 times the points, you can change the mind of the user if you experience high speed.

“Yes.”

“why? In the case of Exchange Jewel 1, didn’t the goal of selling as much as possible even if it was a loss?”

At the guest’s question, Hyunseong smiled and opened her mouth.

“It was just a measure to increase the number of exchange gem users. Already the jewel of exchange is widely used. There is no level 1 player who has reached a certain level without a smartphone or computer.”

It was natural.

Smartphones and computers were literally revolutions.

“Level 1 players who do not have enough points will have to purchase Interaction Jewel 3 anyway, and they will not be able to use it because it is too expensive to use. Rather, there will be a lot of complaints.”In other words, there was no profit by selling as many as possible at a low price.

The fee for using the Jewel of Exchange 3 was too much of a burden to spend as a hobby.

It is possible for a person who earns 1 million won a month to buy a 1 million won smartphone.

Using a monthly plan of 100,000 won is also possible if it is unreasonable.

However, it was impossible to purchase a smartphone worth tens of millions of won or to use a plan close to 1 million won per month.

“No matter how convenient it is, there are not many people who will devote themselves to their hobbies while consuming points like their own lives.”

“What do you mean if you do?”

“Anyway, there are a limited number of classes that can use the Gem of Exchange 3.”

A refusal to purchase 3 trillion points worth of exchange jewels insignificantly and do not have to worry about whether 1 trillion or 10 trillion comes out as a monthly fee.

Such rejections were Hyunseong’s target.

If the number of targets is limited… … .

It was advantageous to rip off as many points as possible by paying a premium.

“More than that, Gespit-sama, would you be able to make a Jewel 4 of Exchange?”

“what? Do you want to make something that has a faster speed than it is now?”

Guest’s expression was colored with absurdity.

How long has it been since you completed Gem of Interaction 3?

Even if they produced the Jewel of Exchange 4 after a long effort, it was obvious that the usage fee would increase tremendously.

“Oh, not that. Come to think of it, I should say it’s not the Gem of Exchange 4, but the Gem of Exchange 2.5.”

“A jewel of exchange 2.5?”

Guest asked Hyunseong with a look of what the hell was that.

“It’s about making a trade-off that keeps the usage fee as low as possible, even at the expense of speed. An item that is faster than Interaction Jewel 2 but slower than Interaction Jewel 3, and costs more than Interaction Jewel 2 but less than Interaction Jewel 3.”

“You mean the exchange jewel 2.5?”

“Yes.”

Interaction Jewel 3 focuses only on speed.

As a result, the production cost and usage fee were exorbitantly high.

But the speed was outstanding.

‘You don’t have to aim for top speed.’

Just because giga internet products are released doesn’t mean that broadband internet products lose their commercial value.

It is enough to compensate for the slow speed with a low usage fee.

What if it is not for the purpose of downloading movies or dramas in a short period of time, but for the purpose of enjoying games?

Not gigabit internet, but fiber optic internet was enough.

No, to be honest, it went beyond a sufficient level.

Although there is a difference in up/down speed, there is no significant difference between gigabit internet or fiber optic internet when playing games.

Because it wasn’t the up-down speed that mattered when I was playing the game.

‘Gepitt went too far.’

After ADSL or VDSL using a telephone line, optical LAN Internet should come out.

However, it was as if the giga internet had suddenly appeared beyond the broadband internet.

I had to find a compromise.

With moderate speed and moderate usage fees… … .

“You don’t have to be obsessed with speed anymore. It is important to keep fees low, even at the expense of speed.”

“Ugh… … .”

Guest knew what Hyunseong wanted.

“It won’t be easy, but I don’t think it will be impossible.”

Gespit has been developing with all focus on speed.

The finished product lost economic efficiency at the cost of amazing performance.

It was time to find a compromise.

“please.”

“I get it. Don’t try.”The development of a jewel in exchange is beneficial to Hyunseong and Guest.

There is no reason not to try.

* * *

Hyunseong left the dimension of the guest and returned to the dimension of the invaders again.

‘I don’t know how much it will sell.’

Hyunseong and Gespit started selling the Jewel 3 of AC that was once produced.

The price is 300 trillion points.

It was quite a burdensome price to use for hobbies.

In addition, the exchange jewel 3 is disposable.

How to connect to a smartphone, computer, laptop, TV, etc.?

Naturally, several exchange jewels 3 were needed.

‘Let’s focus on hunting for now.’

As it is an expensive premium product, it was not likely that there would be many buyers.

After Hyunseong moved to the hunting ground, he used a wide-area taunt skill.

– Aaaaaaah!

Monsters caught in the provocation skill ran towards Hyunseong with an angry roar.

Monsters with lower grades were affected by the Lord of the Sea skill and were terrified.

However, the monsters that were not affected by the Lord of the Sea skill attacked Hyunseong with sharp fangs.

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong continued a close battle with the monster using the Breath and Book of Flames of the Black Dragon God.

That was then.

– The registered item has been sold.

… … aftermath… …

Messages of selling items came to mind in succession.

‘Who buys in bulk?’

Hyunseong leisurely continued hunting monsters.

Bulk purchases are common, so we didn’t have to worry too much.

‘uh?’

However, mass purchases continued unabated.

‘what?’

Usually, these bulk purchases happen when a new product is launched.

However, the only new product released recently was the Jewel of Exchange 3.

‘Isn’t this something that will sell so much?’

Hyunseong opened the status window with a puzzled expression, accessed the system store and checked the items sold.

“Hahaha!”

Hyunseong burst into laughter with an absurd expression on her face.

‘I didn’t expect this?’

Hyunseong’s expectations that it will be sold in small quantities have been overturned.

Jewels of Exchange 3 were being sold like crazy.

* * *

Gaktoubk was a game fanatic.

Although he dedicated a huge amount of points to the gacha system in the game, his love for the game never stopped.

The biggest complaint about him is… … .

“Ah! You bastard Rek!”

A devastating scream erupted from Gaktubuk’s mouth.

It doesn’t always lag.

It happens very rarely.

But the problem is that those occasions are very important moments.

A lag occurred at important moments, such as when raiding boss monsters or when fighting a war with the opposing guild.

What if the character lays down because of the lag?

Anger rose to the top of his head.

Of course, it was because of Gaktoubk’s mood.

The lag occurred in between.

However, I do not remember the lag that usually occurs.

However, the lag at the crucial moment is strongly remembered.

So naturally, I thought that Gaktoubk only lags at important moments.

The highest-priced computer that slapped all the specs to get rid of the lag screamed as soon as it came out.

But the problem was not solved.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Gaktubuk couldn’t understand why the lag was happening.

In fact, there was only one cause of the problem.

The communication speed was slow and the connection sometimes dropped.

This was an unavoidable problem caused by the slow speed that Interaction Jewel 2 could provide and the increase in game information to be transmitted.

There is only one way to solve this problem.

It was just to increase the communication speed.

“Damn.”

Gaktoubk has finished the game.

The game was shut down, and advertisements for new products appeared.

It was a familiar scene, so I tried to skip it.

But I couldn’t.

“uh?”

Gaktubuk opened his eyes.

“Jewel of Exchange 3?”

The first advertisement was that a 2GB file could be downloaded in 10 seconds.

I wasn’t very interested in this.
