Chapter 11: (1): Season 1 Preparation

The world continued to rapidly change. Among the changes, two noteworthy ones were the expression of dissatisfaction among slayers and the emergence of Smart Encyclopedias.

The Green Stone was theoretically capable of providing 3-5% of Seouls daily power consumption. However, the actual results were slightly different from the theoretical calculations. The reason for the discrepancy was unknown, but the efficiency was around 1-2%. Nevertheless, people started voicing their concerns about the unreasonable price of one billion won for such a small amount of efficiency, even if it was only 1-2%. Some even went as far as to claim that it was worth hundreds of billions of won. The general consensus was that such a price tag couldnt have been possible without some kind of illicit transaction between the guild-holding conglomerates and the government.

Jong-won once asked, Hey, is it true that Green Stones original price was really worth hundreds of billions of won?

Hyun-seok replied, What the hell are you talking about? That doesnt make any sense.

Its been said on the internet

Hyun-seok was an employee of the Korea Electric Power Corporation and had a degree in electrical engineering. He quickly calculated and showed them the numbers.

There. See?

Damn, is this for real?

In reality, the annual average electricity consumption in Seoul was about 47 million MWH. To simplify the arithmetic for calculating daily power consumption, it can be divided by 365, which results in over 100,000 MWH. Assuming 1% of that is around 1,000 MWH. Based on the current residential electricity supply rate of 120 won per KWH, 1 MWH would cost 120,000 won. Therefore, even with this rough calculation, it would be around 120 billion won. If we assume an efficiency of 2%, it would be 240 billion won. Even if we consider the minimum value and exclude the exact calculations, the price would still be over 100 million won, and if we generously estimate, it would exceed 200 million won.

Of course, this calculation was based on the residential supply rate. To be more precise, the cost of the raw material should be considered rather than the supply rate. The government claimed that it would cost less than 100 million won to produce it, excluding its high efficiency and lack of environmental hazards. However, people didnt fully trust the governments claim.

Hyun-seok explained roughly.

So, if you calculate based on the supply value, it means that it is worth around 120 to 240 million won. If you calculate it based on the agricultural electricity supply value, it doesnt even reach 100 million won according to the governments standards. Well anyway, I dont know the exact amount, but a profit is a profit, whether its from the government or a company. And besides, its environmentally friendly, leaving aside the price aspect. Moreover, the demand from other routes is also very high.

Lets summarize the main point.

My abilities are so high right now.

In the past, during the tutorial mode, he had heard a warning that there could be significant disadvantages in the Easy Mode due to excessive stats, but in retrospect, he wondered if the ease caused by excessive stats was not a disadvantage at all. Games need a certain level of tension and thrills to be fun. Would it be fun if Mike Tyson fought a kindergarten student in a boxing match?

For Hyun-seok, the mana stones dropped currently were practically useless. Think about it. Would anything change if the top-ranking user used beginner items? His stats were so high that he didnt need to care about items or skills.

Also, since he was easily handling monsters, he didnt receive any skills.

Except for skills that were automatically acquired, such as opening the combat field, most combat skills were obtained through martial arts-related book items or through repeated practice.

He had not yet purchased any martial arts-related books because he didnt feel the need to do so they were very expensive. As for repeated practice, he had few opportunities. On the internet, there were already skillers with more than ten active skills, but Hyun-seok had little opportunity to obtain skills.

And one more thing.

According to the notification system, Hyun-seok is currently restricted by the level system. While other Slayers gradually become stronger as they level up, Hyun-seoks level doesnt increase, and he doesnt gain any experience.

Hyun-seok places great importance on safety. He doesnt particularly enjoy hunting monsters, nor does he find acquiring skills to be fun. However, the profits he earns from the items dropped by monsters and magic stones are enough to make him happy.

Lets check out the skills for now.
