I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 58

58. Madillo Dungeon (1)

“Shall we hear it?”

“50 billion won.”

The price jumped fivefold.

‘This is enough.’

Of course, I could raise the price even higher.

But considering the short duration of the Enhancement Potion, which is only 30 minutes, I considered this the maximum.

In my past life, the most expensive it got was around 450 million won.

I’ll sell 100 packs like this first, and if the reaction is good, the next negotiator will come up on their own.

Since the production cost is almost nothing from my perspective, the more expensive I sell it, the more I profit.

Just show off some skills appropriately.

I made 50 billion won!

I never knew making money could be this easy! Of course, it’s a one-time thing, but I still feel good.

“How is it? I guess they’ll ask you to write a report as soon as you get back, but… anyway, the negotiation rights are delegated to me! Don’t you think this is enough to open their wallets?”

“Haha. Okay, let’s do that.”

Without needing to play hard to get, I accepted her second offer.

After all, once the WSA [World Superpower Alliance] uses up the 100 packs of Enhancement Potions, negotiations will happen again.

Now and then, I’m the one holding the knife. The fact that I’m in charge doesn’t change.

“How about the transfer? We can move right away by car. Shall we go to Shin-hwa’s house?”

“There’s nothing there.”

“Then where?”

“It’s here.”

Snap!

I snapped my fingers.

Then, 100 packs of Enhancement Potions that the subspace spat out were gently placed at the entrance.

Marina was surprised and asked.

“That thing I just saw, is that a subspace? Is this the Awakened System being implemented?”

“Shall I show you one more time?”

I snapped my fingers again and showed her one of the Skeleton Archer’s thigh bones from the subspace, then put it back in.

“Until now, I thought subspace existed, but I didn’t know where to get it…”

“Well, it exists so well.”

“Shin-hwa, you have more than one or two talents and artifacts?”

“One or two is not enough. Well, let’s stop talking about other things. Shall we get the deposit first?”

I skillfully changed the subject and continued the conversation.

The most unguarded moment in a deal is right before receiving the payment.

Marina wouldn’t do that, but many incidents and accidents in black market deals happen when money and goods are exchanged.

“Just a moment.”

“The account is here.”

I showed her the name of the bank and the account number, greatly enlarged on my smartphone.

“Money is so easy to spend, isn’t it?”

Soon, Marina was using a separate security computer to transfer the amount.

She was probably trying to make the transfer using a security account used by the WSA.

Anyway, just the fact that she was delegated the authority to easily execute such a high amount.

You could guess Marina’s status. She is highly trusted by the WSA.

Ding.

Immediately, a deposit notification came to my smartphone app.

[Korea Bank: Depositor Kang Shin-hwa]

[Balance: 56,000,899,200 won]

‘Kuh, this is it. Very good.’

Exactly 50 billion won came in.

Considering the tax calculation later, 10% will disappear from here, but even so, I made a profit of 45 billion won.

Now that I’ve confirmed the deposit, it’s time to hand over the goods to her.

I slid the bundle of Enhancement Potions in front of me towards her.

“Well, I hope you find it useful.”

“Thank you for the transaction. Shin-hwa, can you give our WSA priority for the next transaction?”

“I’ll think about it. I have to start producing from scratch again.”

“Okay. Then it seems like all the official business is over…”

Marina stored the 100 packs of Enhancement Potions she had just taken in a separate safe prepared in the house.

Judging from the slight chill coming out, it seemed to be a safe that could also refrigerate and freeze.

I decided to wrap up today’s meeting with this.

Because all the business is done.

“Then I’ll contact you again.”

“Shin-hwa, wait!”

Marina rushed over and grabbed me as I was about to leave.

Grabbing my hand, her gaze, sending quite a seductive look, was unusual.

“Huh?”

“How about a private drink from now on? It’s 3 a.m. It’s still a long way until dawn.”

Flirtation.

Unlike her past life, she keeps sending me green lights [signals of romantic interest].

But right now, rather than wanting to do something with her, I just wanted to go home and rest.

I’ve been harassed by too many people since the briefing today. I definitely lost a lot of energy.

“Let’s do it next time, next time.”

“I even have a vodka that’s perfect for two people to drink.”

“Let’s have soju [Korean distilled rice liquor] sometime. At a pocha [street food stall].”

“Is that a date request?”

“No, let’s just have a drink. Vodka doesn’t suit my taste. I’ll think about it if it’s soju.”

“Ugh…”

“Then, contact me as soon as the guest participation is ready. Think about the preconditions too.”

“Tsk, I understand. Shin-hwa, you’re more of an iron wall than I thought?”

“It won’t be easily penetrated. It’s even harder with these old seduction tactics. Heh heh.”

I playfully pointed out her seductive but not-so-sure storytelling seduction.

And before she could say anything, I left the house leisurely.

I really needed a rest.

I wanted to sleep well.

* * *

As soon as I got home, the Madillo Dungeon, abbreviated as Madillo Dungeon, located at Exit 3 of Guro Station, K-1004 Dungeon, was scheduled to be攻略 [conquered].

The time was 3 a.m. the next day.

That’s because the Dungeon Management Team of the Yanghwa Guild had finished calculating that the internal initialization would be done around that time.

For that reason, Shin-hwa just slept quietly all day without thinking.

He had spent the whole day of February 4, after parting with Marina, sleeping.

As Shin-hwa, who woke up from the bed with puffy eyes, was making the highest-grade magic potion in a bottle of mineral water.

I got a call from Jeong-hoon.

“Yes, Mr. Jeong-hoon.”

-I know the dungeon攻略 [conquest] schedule, and I also got a flight ticket to Jeju.

“When is it?”

-It’s 7 a.m. It’s 4 hours after the dungeon entry point. Is that okay?

“It’s enough. If the teamwork is good like last time, it’s a 2-hour cut.”

Shin-hwa replied as if it was nothing to Jeong-hoon’s worried words.

-I’ll give you the ticket as soon as I meet you. It’s first class. It’s not expensive because it’s a domestic flight, but…

“Oh, really?”

The flight to Jeju Island is only an hour long, but I liked the Yanghwa Guild’s small consideration.

In fact, money can be meaningless depending on how you use it, and it can really touch you.

In this case, I felt like they were thinking about me, so I felt good.

‘This kind of small happiness in everyday life is also a kind of well-being life.’

Shin-hwa made a satisfied expression.

-The chairman has instructed us to prepare everything in the best quality so that Shin-hwa will not feel uncomfortable.

“Thank you.”

-You’ll know when you go to the prepared villa, but there’s nothing to criticize about the facilities and the surrounding scenery.

“Where is it?”

-It’s a villa that the chairman often uses. In fact, it was a place that only the chairman and his children could use.

“Ah!”

Shin-hwa exclaimed, remembering it.

You have to take a car from the main gate for a long time to get to the villa.

The surrounding scenery ranges from well-landscaped forests to many docile wild herbivores.

In addition, there are attendants and exclusive chefs who will be the hands and feet of visitors in the villa and do everything for them.

Jin Seong-tae’s villa was a place where everything in a super-luxury hotel was moved in the form of a one-person service.

-The chairman has repeatedly asked that Kang Shin-hwa’s trip to Jeju Island be absolutely perfect.

“Please tell him I said thank you.”

It was a consideration worthy of Jin Seong-tae.

-Then I’ll see you later.

Soon after hanging up the phone.

“Wow… At this time in my past life, I was busy cleaning up the poop that the monsters had 싸질러 [left] at the entrance of the dungeon…”

Shin-hwa was holding his smartphone tightly for a while with a look of mixed emotions.

I felt a deep sense of incongruity.

In 2020 in my past life, no one cared about me, it was the life of a dirt spoon [someone born into poverty].

In 2020 in my present life, I’m moving towards the wonderful life of a gold spoon [someone born into wealth] where the chairman of a large company is trying to match my mood.

“I have to work hard. This time, I have to collect a lot of baby Madillo carcasses and make some Enhancement Potions right away.”

Shin-hwa’s eyes sparkled with fighting spirit. That’s how another day was starting.

* * *

The Madillo Dungeon攻略 [conquest] ended in exactly 2 hours as I expected.

Entry at 3 a.m.

Exit at 5 a.m.

As before, the spoils were distributed equally, and I only took the baby Madillo carcasses.

Bajart was also a guy who had been攻略 [conquered] once, so he didn’t drop flowers.

Instead, he spat out more 차원석 [Dimensional Stones] than before, so I was able to receive 3 of the highest-grade 차원석 [Dimensional Stones].

In 2 hours, I easily earned 2.7 billion won after taxes.

However, I decided not to sell the 차원석 [Dimensional Stones] I got this time.

I needed him for other products I was planning to make or for making custom-made 강화 [enhancement] suits.

Anyway, after finishing the distribution, I headed straight to the airport.

I had already put all the clothes and things I needed in the subspace.

All I needed was a body to get on the plane.

2 hours later.

I was lying down, completely immersed in the unique coziness that first class gives, after boarding in time for the check-in.

It’s been a while.

That’s because I mainly used ‘instant movement’ instead of airplanes at the end of my past life.

‘Zero.’

I used the instant movement ability of a guy named Zero among the Nine Lords to travel long distances.

Of course, it was a convenient means of transportation because I could move to the other side of the earth right away if I had enough preparation time.

The problem was the headache and nausea that increased with the distance.

Once, as soon as I finished moving, I vomited for 30 minutes straight.

So even when I said I should move by chartered plane, Nicholas, who always emphasized that I should save money… didn’t listen to me.

So it was really nice to be on this first class.

‘Where is Zero? By the way, Nicholas, please regress quickly. I’m starting to feel dizzy.’

I sincerely prayed to somewhere in the sky.

I felt like I had more to think about as I started to get involved with the Nine Lords colleagues one by one?

I hate it.

For me, who only wants to make money and retire quickly, the grand plan that I have to build meticulously for 32 years was too much.

But right then.

“Huh?”

It’s not a scent I can smell often, but I smelled a musk scent that wasn’t unfamiliar right next to me.

I hadn’t taken off yet, so I unfastened my seat belt again and carefully raised my head to look to the side.

At that moment.

“Ms. Yoon-byeol?”

There was a familiar face in the seat next to me, spaced apart.

It was Yoon-byeol.

“…Yes?”

“Why are you there, Byeol-yi?”

Did she follow me?

That wouldn’t be it.

Yoon-byeol’s expression in response to my question wasn’t very good.

Something seemed to have happened.
