Chapter 150 – 150 – Reality. Hunter Market
First, I put up a hemostasis potion and a temporary tent.
It wasn’t that I was short of money, but for some reason, I wanted to fill my performance and increase my rank by selling in a hunter market similar to this nearby market.
I roughly researched the market price and posted it, and the hemostasis potion sold out quickly.
I thought it was more because the hemostasis potion was not expensive.
‘Well, it’s not like there are no hemostatic agents in reality…’
The price of hemostasis potion was between 5,000 and 10,000 won per bottle.
Actually, since I can just use a hemostatic agent, I don’t think it’s really necessary… , It seemed that among those who had not tried the tower trial, quite a few people were buying it out of curiosity.
Alternatively, there was a rumor that a certain pharmaceutical company or domestic researchers were purchasing it for research purposes.
The temporary tent was also not of excellent quality, so honestly, it was given a premium as an ‘item used inside the tower’.
The temporary tent was being sold at around 200,000 won. If it wasn’t an item, I think it would have been around 100,000 won?
Hemostatic agents were easily sold, but an offer came in from a temporary tent.
It was roughly asking for a reduction in money.
They said they would negotiate a whopping 20% and trade for 160,000 won.
I was a little offended, but money wasn’t important, so I reduced the money and completed the cool deal.
They say he will come to my house in a little while.
It came really quickly, made a cool deal and disappeared in a few seconds.
‘Transaction is easier than you think. Now let’s put on the soccer shoes… Soccer ball belt This is cheap trash. I should just put it on and sell it. You should say it is provided as a service.’
In the old days, these soccer shoes might have been sold at a high price in reality.
However, if you think about the fact that semi-superhumans and superhumans have mushroomed after the TOP incident and the resulting social aftermath, you can easily guess what the current situation is in regular sports professional leagues.
That’s right.
Currently, all regular leagues are temporarily suspended.
Their sports leagues, to put it bluntly, have become prosperous. It’s a mess.
So, you shouldn’t expect soccer shoes to sell expensively.
In other words, the soccer shoes I got in the difficult world on the 5th floor were really more useless than I thought these days.
This was because all professional leagues were temporarily suspended as top trial survivors and superpowers mushroomed around the world in recent years.
In the early days of the Top Trial, a player who was a League One player, the third division of English soccer, passed the normal difficulty level and became a super hero, and in his debut game in the first division, the Premier League ( EPL), he scored 35 points alone in the famous match between Manchester United and Chelsea. Because he scored a goal, and that was only in the first half…
The professional league has already gone crazy.
For reference, the game could only be played in the first half.
That’s because all the spectators watching the game turned into hooligans and a riot broke out.
And it is said that there were some semi-superhumans and superhumans among them who had overcome the tower trials, so there was no chaos.
Soccer, basketball, baseball, American football, tennis, badminton, etc. It was so bad that everything was ruined.
The same goes for sports that don’t have famous professional leagues, like swimming and track and field. Damn it, all sports are completely ruined.
It became a boring game where everyone could win if they were super talented.
Or maybe it’s a game where the more superhumans you have, the more likely you are to win. (Or the team with the stronger superhuman wins.)
Then why not watch the superhuman competition?
It’s no fun. Superhumans move faster than the cognitive speed of ordinary humans.
In the first place, regular bullets don’t work on level 30 superhumans?
Those people are the ones dodging or blocking bullets, so can the game be normal?
Can people see the movement properly?
You have to shoot with a high-speed camera and turn the frame late to catch the movement, right?
‘Hmm, maybe I can enjoy it? Because my cognitive ability is at a semi-superhuman level.’
I might be okay. But ordinary people are not like that.
‘Even so, I don’t think it would be able to handle things like soccer balls or tennis rackets…’
Anyway, that’s why sports failed.
Now, every professional league around the world has announced a suspension due to this issue, seeking a solution.
Should I include a superhuman now or not?
Or will they allow level 10 semi-superhumans?
Also, what would happen if a superhuman or semi-superhuman plays in the league while hiding the fact that he survived the top trials?
Item… , How will artifacts be used, and how will players be caught if they hide and use them?
There was so much noise over this issue.
It didn’t seem like it would be easily resolved in a short period of time.
Humanity needed time to adapt to this problem.
So in this situation, soccer shoes that provide killer kicking power… It was useless.
If the professional soccer league had survived, it might have been sold for a high price… ? But everything stopped.
And honestly, it’s against the spirit of sports to use an item like this, so words would definitely have been raised.
‘I should put the soccer shoes up for auction.’
It was easy to sell the types of potions and tents because their market prices were already roughly determined.
In particular, in the case of famous potions, it was possible to sell them in bulk to the Hunter Market itself rather than trading between people.
Money was deposited by verifying the potion with a photo or video, and couriering it to the address listed at a nearby post office.
But the ‘murderer soccer shoes’ were not like that.
In some ways, it was because it was a very rare item.
Rather, something like a sword or shield was common.
Honestly, I think I might be the first person to sell ‘soccer shoes’ as an item… ?
There was an auction system, so I uploaded it, and it quickly rose to 7 million won.
I thought it would be a benefit to get just 1 million won, but I felt like I got a better price than I thought.
‘Oh… ? ‘Is this working better than I thought?’
I thought so, but after that I waited for 2-3 hours and it didn’t come up like a ghost any longer.
So, we just ended the auction early and awarded it to the final bidder (7 million won).
I guess I got a notification from the app that I had won the bid, and the buyer said he was coming my way.
I said I understood and gave him the address of a cafe near my house. We made an appointment to meet at a cafe.
Soon a buyer appeared.
“Oh, is this a real item? “They look like ordinary soccer shoes.”
The person who came to see me was a young man.
I drove a heavily tuned domestic car that almost felt like a foreign car… , He was a young man who gave a light, somewhat shabby impression.
“Go outside, wear it and try it out.” “You will see the effect right away.”
Without further ado, I told him to wear it and try it out.
I did a brief experiment before the buyer came, and the effect of the item was clear.
When I spoke in a calm tone, the young man said that he understood and that he was going to test it.
“Oh, yes, of course. “I also brought a soccer ball.”
We went outside the cafe and tested it in a nearby vacant lot.
The buyer said that he used to kick a soccer ball a bit and bounced the soccer ball… , And I saw them kicking things around with a soccer ball and experimenting.
As I was watching, I felt like that person also felt that his kicking power he had become special.
Even if you throw a soccer kick, the soccer ball flies so hard that it can kill a person.
The young man who took the test said he understood after using it and came to trust what I said.
“Wow! This is a real thing. “What is the name of this item?”
“The item name? These are killer soccer shoes.”
“And… , This is really awesome. To be honest, I was skeptical at first. I participated in the auction because it was close to my house, and I almost thought that the meal jammin was a scam… Because most of the items are medieval weapons. This is my first time hearing about soccer shoes. But as the seller said, it is a real item. “I understand after using it.”
“Sure. “Why do I cheat?”
“I will buy this. Please let me buy it.”
“Wasn’t this what you came out to buy in the first place?”
“Ah… , There are a lot of scams. Haha.”
He was a young man in his mid-20s with a mischievous smile.
After looking at the man indifferently, he suddenly remembered something and handed over the soccer ball belt he was holding in his hand.
“Oh, I’ll also give you a belt with the number 2 soccer ball on it. Service. “Take it.”
“No. I don’t need that either. “I will only accept it with gratitude.”
It was such a useless item that they wouldn’t accept it even if it was given for free… , This soccer ball belt…
‘Should I just throw it away? Or maybe there was a free sharing feature. Should we do something like that?’
The man took off his soccer shoes and handed them back to me. He said he didn’t bring any cash and asked me to wait.
I guess I came here with a light heart, skeptical and thinking it might be a scam.
He said he would withdraw money from the ATM.
“Where is the ATM near here?”
“See that convenience store right in front? There is a bank next to it, and there is an ATM at the bank.”
“Oh yeah? Wait a minute. I’ll pick it up soon. Or, I’ll pick it up for you right away. Would you like to do the transaction inside the bank? There are a lot of CCTVs inside the bank, so it will be safe to transact with each other.”
“Sure, well.”
I went into the bank with a young man, and the young man took money out of the ATM and handed it to me.
I received 7 million won. I counted it and it turned out to be correct. Cool deal.
Then, we each took out the Hunter Market app, clicked on the auction transaction completion, and coolly parted ways.
I thought so.
But when I got home…
After rolling around in bed for a while, I did some internet communication, and then looked at the Hunter Market app again…
Not long after, something happened that made me angry.
About 30 minutes after I completed the transaction… , The soccer shoes I just sold were listed for a price of 8 million won.
“Ah, you fucking repurchase bastard.”
