Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The cost of equipment for a party of 4 with yellow hair is 800,000.

In addition to the 5 million settlement money received from the guild, 1 million obtained through additional blackmail.

In addition, up to 30,000 compensation received from the innkeeper.

‘Even though the golden mask costs about 500,000 stones… I decided to keep it, so I’ll pass it.’

From this value, if you subtract the 300,000 stones you distributed to Einar and the 150,000 stones you threw away on the ground yesterday (?), you get your current wealth.

‘6.61 million stones……’

In fact, based on the calculation of maintaining the current standard of living, it is a huge sum that will not have to go into the labyrinth for the next three years.

Of course, it’s a possible calculation because the tax is relatively low in the beginning, but anyway.

‘If I subtract an extra 70,000 stones for a month’s living expenses… the actual total budget would be about 6.54 million stones.’

Recalling the items on the shopping list I had prepared the night before, I hurried my steps.

Well, it doesn’t mean that you really walked to your destination.

“Are you sure you’re in a 10-person carriage headed for District 2?”

“right.”

Arriving at the public platform, I paid the 500 stone fare and got on a 10-person carriage.

Originally, the price per person was 250 stone, but

the reason was that the barbarian was so large that one more person could not ride it.

‘Shit.’

I was kind of upset.

All the more because I can’t refute it.

“Im here.”

I was sleeping in my seat and drooling until I arrived at District 2 of the northern hemisphere of Commelby, a commercial district.

It took about 4 hours.

If the King of District 1 had been able to cross Karnon, it would have been cut in half, but

…

First of all, after eating a rough meal at a nearby restaurant, I headed to my destination following the city map I had purchased in advance.

Finding it was easier than I thought.

It wasn’t long before I started to see a majestic building in the distance.

[Alminus Central Exchange]

One of the facilities I used the most while playing the game.

central exchange.

It has the advantage of not having to go wandering around the city selling products, and it is convenient to find a specific item.

Instead, a fee is charged.

“Are you registered for consignment sales?”

“No. I came to retrieve the goods.”

After taking a number ticket and waiting for a while, I submitted the documents I had prepared in advance to the exchange staff.

“There are a total of 12 articles that meet the criteria. Do you want to check the information?”

“Of course.”

For reference, the search fee per item is 3,000 stone.

After paying for it and waiting for a while, an employee took out several documents and brought them to me.

“After checking the contents, tell the staff member over there what item you want and he will guide you to the place where the real thing is.”

In the game, you just press the purchase button, but in reality it’s like this. It is understandable that there is a fee for using such a system.

Because labor costs are high.

‘Anyway, let’s check it out.’

Like other users who were crowded nearby, I sat in an empty seat and checked my documents.

There were only 12 items that met the criteria, so it didn’t take long to read them all.

“I’d like to take a look at this thing here.”

After choosing the item with the most reasonable price from the list, I headed to the storage room with the help of a staff member.

And after checking several times for defects, I bought it with cash without hesitation.

[Expandable Backpack]

Storage Area: Grade 8

Form: Standard Medium Backpack

Enchantment: Automatic Organization Individual Storage Light Weight (Bottom)

Selling Price: 2.5 Million Stone

Expandable Backpack.

It’s a little different from the so-called sub-space, but at the current level of my property, this much is also appreciated.

First of all, even if the storage area is only 8th grade, it will be 3 times the size of the extra large backpack I used…

‘All 3 types of enchantment sets are attached.’

All things considered, it’s worth it.

It is said that ‘automatic organization’, which keeps things in an optimal form, can be removed by yielding a hundred times.

‘Lightweight’ is close to an essential item.

Think about it. No matter how wide the space is, wouldn’t it be meaningless if the weight remains the same?

‘…In that sense, the same goes for individual cashiers.’

This is an expandable backpack that I bought for convenience.

However, if there is no ‘individual withdrawal’ function, you must unconditionally put in last-in, first-out.

‘It was so uncomfortable in the game, but in reality it must be no joke.’

Well, it’s a bit disappointing that it’s in the form of a backpack, but…

It must be that you don’t have a conscience to wish that much.

I decided to be satisfied with this and returned to my original place carrying the backpack I had purchased.

Then I searched for other items as well.

Now, the remaining budget is about 4 million stones.

“The character is wearing an expandable backpack.”

“Inventory is greatly increased.”

Now that you have enough convenience, it’s time to increase your actual strength.

***

4 million stones.

A large amount of money that is enough to fit a full set of steel plate armor and raise it to 3 levels at once if you receive the Immortal imprint.

Either way isn’t a bad option, but

I didn’t choose either.

That’s because things have changed.

(P) Source of Darkness — Resists death when the heart is intact.

I ate the essence of an unexpected vampire.

Thanks to that, I became a body that would not die as long as my heart was fine.

In other words, the choice to strengthen the Immortal imprint or to match parts such as leggings is inevitably less efficient compared to money.

After careful consideration, I made the final decision.

‘I’d rather raise the tier of the equipment.’

Commonly referred to as the upper tier.

In other words, instead of steel, which is a first-level metal, I decided to purchase equipment made of a second-level metal.

「The character wears a breastplate made of lithium.」

「Overall item level rises by +270.」

Titanium.

One of the second-level metals with the property of being twice as light and hard as ordinary steel.

Its characteristics are that the metal is white and that it is damn expensive.

‘One breastplate is 1.91 million stones…….’

The shape of the breastplate purchased through the exchange was the same as the half armor made of steel that was sold for only scrap metal prices, but the price was more than five times more expensive.

‘Well, it’s only natural that you have to be a 4th floor explorer to use it as a 2nd level material, right?’

The reason why the breastplate was chosen as the top priority among various parts of equipment was simple.

The more you protect your heart, the greater the benefits of your passive skill, [Source of Darkness].

Anyway, safety is the best, so there was no way there would be any disagreement.

However, concerns continued until the moment the purchase was finalized for the second equipment.

“The character wears a large battle shield made of lithium.”

“The overall item level rises by +315.”

Do you change your weapon or buy a new shield that you sold for scrap metal?

After much consideration, I bought the shield for 2.1 million stones.

There are many reasons, but to pick the core…

‘Because now I don’t have to deal with it.’

So far, only a two-person team duo has entered the labyrinth.

However, to go upstairs here, you must play in a team of at least four people.

In other words, holding a shield and becoming a human barrier to protect your teammates is more efficient.

‘The vampire essence is not the essence of the dealer position.’

Above all, unlike a weapon, a shield is a piece of equipment that will continue to be used even after obtaining ‘the essence’…….

Now, without a shield, it is empty.

Instead, the pockets were empty.

‘Well, now the equipment is starting to shine.’

For some reason, when I looked in the mirror, my heart naturally became rich.

Is this also a change made by becoming a barbarian?

***

After a reasonable consumption, it was already evening time.

After eating one more meal at the restaurant where we had lunch, we returned to District 13, where we were staying, by carriage.

After that, the day was over.

‘It’s only because the travel time is so long……’

Later, when I really make a lot of money, I’ll have to move to the central area.

Living on the outskirts is not one or two inconveniences.

Even so, I came a little deeper this time, but I still have to go to the dimension plaza for a long time.

‘In the end, is all the problem is money…….’

I went to sleep, determined to make as much money as I had spent a lot today.

and the next morning.

‘Since I’ve finished what I can handle right now, I’m going to go there again soon.’

Like a sincere barbarian, I got up from the wind in the morning and headed to the library.

It is the habit of Korean gamers to go to work in their free time. Well, it’s not a game, it’s real life, so it’s a labor that can be done.

I still lack common sense and knowledge here.

‘In that sense, if I find a house later, it would be nice if it was close to the library.’

Books are food for the soul.

Isn’t it because I read books in the library that I was able to spend rationally on the exchange in the first place?

‘What was the title of the book?’

I don’t remember the title, but it was a book that recorded the average transaction price of items on the exchange for 10 years.

It was hard to read because there were so many numbers, but there was no better textbook to learn about market conditions.

As I walked while thinking about this and that, I soon arrived at my destination.

Nothing has changed since I came before.

The smell of books wafting through the entire building, the many spectacle anchovies that arrived earlier than me, and this librarian with a sleepy face sitting at the counter.

“Long time no see.”

When I greeted him like the last time I saw him, the librarian looked at me and gave me a strange look.

Then he murmurs a small word.

“…how?”

Oh did you see that

“Whoa, it’s a titanium armor and shield. Together, they gave me 4 million stones. Oh, and the thing on my back is an expandable backpack—

” “Parshiev.”

Well, I still can’t even joke about it

.

Is it because I’m wearing?

I can feel people’s gazes here and there more than usual.

Most of them are looking at me in awe.

I’m not sure, but it’s embarrassing to think otherwise, so let’s just think that way

.

Maybe.

But if you think about it, then what else?

I’m a barbarian. I

decided

to just ignore it and do my own thing, and I picked up a bunch of books with keywords in

mind

. Reading a dictionary of legal terminology]

[Birth of Mozlan]

[……]

[…]

Maybe it’s because I almost got framed this time,

but I’m interested in the explorer’s guild and the laws of institutions directly under the royal family.

Isn’t there a famous proverb in the game world.

If you don’t know, you have no choice but

to be right. So, you

have to learn somehow. Growling

!

I decided to read it again tomorrow and returned to my lodging.

Unusually, a letter arrived.

The sender was the Explorers Guild.

It said that Hikurod Murad wanted to meet with me.

“I won’t be able to go to the library tomorrow.”

After wiping the shield and breastplate with a dry cloth for about an hour, I lay down on the bed

and

fell

asleep

. I headed to.

Ting-!

A shop that serves as both an inn, a restaurant, and a bar.

Upon entering the hall on the first floor, I saw quite a few people having a meal and chatting casually.

After looking around the interior for a long time, I found the person I was looking for. Anyway, The dwarves are so small that you ca

n’t

see

them

? You are indeed right! It’s marked as level 7, so I’m afraid—”

The dwarf who greeted me with a smile suddenly jumped at me.

“No,

what the hell

is that equipment?”

“Oh this? As you can see from this white glow, it’s an armor and shield made of titanium. And the one on the back is an expandable backpack, but it’s not a big deal, I bought one this time.” It’s really not a big deal
