An Earring of Wisdom

Four items in total. Hyun-seok decided to take the Martial Arts Skill Book, Jong-won took the Poison-Coated Dagger, and Minseo took the Earring of Wisdom.

To be honest, its not clear yet what these items do exactly. If the inventory window was active or if there was an item description, they might know, but there isnt. However, Min-seo was able to immediately see the effect of the Earring of Wisdom.

Oppa, I just put this on and I heard a notification sound.

What did it say?

It said my M/P recovery rate went up by 2%?

Well, thats good. Keep wearing it then.

Im going to keep wearing it for sure.

Honestly, are you just wearing it because it looks nice?

Min-seo giggled. Shes a high school student and has to take off her earrings at school. But if its a Slayer-exclusive item, its a different story. Slayer items can be worn.

To be honest, I dont really know if its good or not. But its pretty, so Ill wear it while I can.

Were still in Easy Mode. In Easy Mode, how good can the items really be?

Slowly, the physiology of this system became apparent. Easy mode was literally an easy mode. The monsters were weak, and the difficulty of the dungeon wasnt that high either. Therefore, the probability of dropping good items was very low. It was just like a game. It was almost impossible for a low-level user to drop items used by high-level users in a beginners village.

He felt bad. It was clear from his demeanor that his mood had changed from when he entered and left the room. Even if it was only 100 million won, it was clearly profitable. The government claimed that it was not worth 100 million won, but he knew better. Furthermore, there were rumors that Green Stone was being exported in small quantities to China and the United States, where demand exceeded supply, and even the news agency Kadara reported that the price was easily over 100 million won.

There were also rumors of unofficial exports. Some slayers were allegedly engaged in illegal trading with countries like the United States and China, and the price was said to be around 150 million won per Green Stone. Even if it was illegal, it was better to engage in smuggling when there was such a price difference of 50 million won per unit.

The statement that you can buy it for 150 million won means that it is worth at least 150 million won. Green Stone had a significant value beyond development. Especially like White stone, it was not a joke that illegal distribution of Green Stone had soared since it was found that mixing a small amount of it with stamina enhancers such as Viagra reduced side effects and increased effectiveness. (Not only stamina enhancers but most medications had very good effects when mixed with it.) The amount of Green Stone to be mixed with Viagra was as small as a single particle of powder. It was rumored that selling Green Stone mixed with Viagra after crushing it into powder was worth 10 billion won. Demand was much higher than supply.

Corporations even bought Green Stone at prices higher than that. It was for research and investment development purposes.

Currently, the value of Green Stone is not just 100 million won, contrary to the governments claim.

But still, do you want to lower the price more? Youre delivering 120 at a time, is Green Stone a joke now?

Although it was a hassle, it made him very upset. Even a member of parliament said, Since it has become relatively easy to get Green Stone Hyun-seok felt like he wanted to grab the guy and throw him into a dungeon.

It wasnt easy for Hyun-seok, but for other slayers, it was really a matter of life and death. However, it was very annoying for someone to speak bluntly without even experiencing it themselves. The top-tier slayers were not widespread. There were barely a hundred teams in Korea. Among them, only 20 teams could easily kill orcs. The rest were slaying with the risk of injury or even death. And on the other hand, someone is talking about the easily obtainable Green Stone.

Hyun-seok stood up. Min-seo quickly followed suit.

Oppa, where are you going?

If theyre full, Ill make sure to make them hungry. Min-seo, stay here. Ill be back soon.

It is true that if the supply increases, the price should go down. However, if the price goes down forcibly, side effects are bound to occur. And Hyun-seok decided to create those side effects.
