MTL NOVEL Ch 14
The heroine saves the world episode 14
Even as we moved to find an empty space, the noise grew louder.
“Hey, Lee Yu-chan. You know?”
“Oh, I know. Just stay still for now.”
Even in an unpleasant situation, the Justice Guild did not react.
This was the result of repeated practice to the point where the twins were complaining that their ears were bleeding before leaving today.
‘As expected, Geum-jok is a person who grows up.’
“Did you submit your field study materials properly?”
“Okay. The homeroom teacher accepted it without saying anything?”
Since the twins are still in high school, they have to worry about things like this.
Because attendance management is important.
“You can just sit over there.”
The seats where the Jeongui Guild sat were in the front seats, slightly off the center.
Actually, I wanted to sit in the center of the front row, but it was already taken.
“I should have brought some popcorn.”
“Suho oppa, don’t you have anything like candy?”
“I didn’t bring it today.”
The twins and Jang Su-ho were killing time by chatting next to me.
And soon after, the indoor lights dimmed slightly, and the auction began.
Even the people who had been talking a lot about us finally became quiet.
“There are a lot of dungeons today, so we will proceed a little quickly. We ask for your understanding.”
An elderly woman stood at the podium and spoke.
The dungeons up for auction today were listed on the large screen at the back like a table of contents in a book, and there were over 15 of them.
In particular, there were many large dungeons that guaranteed high income.
You could feel the people gathered to participate in the auction getting a little nervous.
‘Let’s see. It’s over there.’
Anyway, all the good stuff is piled at the back.
The dungeon I was looking for was the sixth one, when people’s concentration was at its weakest.
This dungeon was originally put on hold several times in
So I had a lot of worries.
The price will likely drop significantly during the auction process, so I’m thinking of waiting until then.
But today, the first week the dungeon was up for auction, I decided to bid on it right away.
‘If you save it, it will turn into poop.’
Although I know the contents of
What if someone takes that dungeon first while we wait for the price to drop?
Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn and hurt.
“Now, let’s start the dungeon auction today. The first dungeon, as you can see in the picture, is a cave-type dungeon… … .”
As expected, no one was very interested in the initial listing.
Two small guilds with only a few Awakened members like us won the bid, but most of them went unsold.
“Do we not have to bid?”
“That looks okay… … .”
Han Ji-seong and Jang Su-ho spoke a few words in small voices from the side.
These were reasonable opinions.
The dungeons in the front are small and mostly E- or D-class, but the environment inside them is good.
There were cave-type dungeons like the Mansu Mountain dungeon, and there were also jungle-type dungeons.
The cave type is easy to mine, and the jungle type allows you to collect valuable potion ingredients from the plants that make up the ecosystem, in addition to mana stones.
In fact, the two dungeons that were previously sold were cave-type and jungle-type.
But I didn’t even pay attention to those dungeons because I was checking the latest news on my phone.
And the long-awaited auction of lot number 6 began.
“Dungeon number 6 is a D-class dungeon located in Obongsan, Chuncheon.”
“come.”
I stuffed my phone into my pocket and looked up.
“The interior of the Obongsan Dungeon is glacier-shaped.”
The somewhat focused gaze quickly dispersed as the word ‘glacier’ appeared, leaving only snow and ice on the screen.
It can’t be helped.
Glacier dungeons were the least popular type along with underwater dungeons.
The mining difficulty is high, but the demand for Cal Mana Stone is low, so it is not profitable.
That may be why the set price was low.
“The starting price for the auction is 30 million won. The asking price is in units of 1 million won.”
Compared to the cave-type starting price of 60 million won and the jungle-type starting price of 70 million won a little while ago, this is an extremely low price.
Even that was a competitive bid and was eventually sold for well over 100 million won.
“I’ll start the auction. Do you have 30 million won?”
This is the amount of savings that matured before coming here.
But I didn’t hesitate to pick up the paddle I had received when I entered the auction house.
The host looked at me with surprise for a moment, perhaps expecting this dungeon to be auctioned off.
‘This is the Nodaji Dungeon and no one knows about it.’
It’s thrilling.
It was while I was waiting for such a simple auction.
“It came to 31 million won, 31 million won.”
“What kind of new X is it?”
What kind of crazy guy is targeting this dungeon?
“It’s a guild up and down.”
“Those little punks.”
The twins were really gnashing their teeth.
“They’re the ones who always curse at us. They’re not that different from us.”
Oh oh.
It means a moth burning with inferiority complex.
“Do you have 32 million won?”
I immediately picked up the paddle.
The rest of the process was obvious.
When the household reached 3400, the upper and lower guilds stopped following.
They probably came to the auction house because they had a specific dungeon in mind, and they had no interest in the glacier dungeon in the first place, but they just raised the asking price to make us suffer.
I lost 4 million won because of them.
I was about to go and tear out 4 million won worth of hair, but I quickly regained my composure.
It’s currently worth ‘a whopping 4 million won’, but if you just mine this dungeon, it’ll be ‘just 4 million won’.
But the fact remains that my hard-earned money has been spent more because of them.
I’ll remember the upper and lower guilds.
“Property number 6, Obongsan Dungeon, sold for 34 million won.”
Land! Land!
The host struck the auction hammer twice, and the Obongsan Dungeon Clear Ticket was ours.
I spent a little more than I expected, but whatever.
So, I feel really bad.
Still, if you think about what will come out of it, it’s a huge gain.
“Ms. Na Yeo-ju.”
Kang-han, who had been sitting next to me without saying a word, called out to me.
“Is that okay?”
The Justice Guild has no money right now.
Naturally, the fee for clearing this dungeon is also an investment that I am making in the Justice Guild.
I answered Kang-han with a light smile.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
* * *
I’m leaving for Chuncheon tomorrow.
However, mining that dungeon required some preparation.
“You’re really saying it’ll take 5 hours?”
“Have I been living a life of deception?”
Jang Su-ho, who was teaching me how to shop for hunter items on my phone, said this as if it was absurd.
“Have you ever bought an item online before?”
I wonder if it’s there.
“Okay, I understand. Thanks for letting me know.”
I came out of Jang Su-ho’s room, which had less luggage than mine, and returned to my room right next door.
“This is better than the KookX.”
The ability to run faster or teleport short distances is surprisingly common.
If it’s about making money, there’s no way that big corporations would miss out on it.
Representative guilds such as Sama Guild and Maestro, a gathering of production companies, were operating the ultra-fast delivery online shopping malls that I had just learned about.
Among them, the one I chose is the shopping mall run by Maestro Guild, which is unrivaled in the production industry.
Of course, if I use a regular delivery service, the shipping cost will be much cheaper, but since I need the items tomorrow, I decided to use Awakening Delivery this time.
“Okay, let’s see, let’s see.”
As expected, he is a maestro.
They sell over 3 billion items in their online shopping mall.
This means that we are confident in the quality of the product and the safety of its delivery.
“First of all, you’ll need all the winter clothes.”
The jumper-type winter clothing that all guild members will wear was chosen as a C-grade item.
They say there’s a special discount, but it’s still 2 million won per set.
There are five people excluding me, so 10 million won, 10 million won.
“… … Since I’m a water person, I’ll buy a B-class one.”
I hate the cold, you know.
I quickly lost 17 million won by buying everything from winter clothes to mining tools.
“If I hadn’t had the deposit, I would have been in big trouble.”
anyway.
Preparations for mining the Nodaji Obongsan dungeon are complete.

* * *
The morning of the day we finally left for Chuncheon.
The guild members’ mouths dropped open.
“What is this?”
“Did we buy a car?!”
In the building’s usually empty parking lot, there was a large black van that looked sturdy, although it had a few scratches here and there.
The name ‘JUSTICE’ was written in large letters on the side.
I held up a round tea key and spoke to my guild members.
“Sister, I bought a car.”
