39 – How to copy money (3)

[Sells recovery potions exclusive to the Outer Zone.]

“… A recovery potion for the Outer Zone?”

Han Jun-yeop’s face was subtly distorted.

What are you talking about?

Before clicking on the post, I looked at the product description in the preview pop-up, and it said, ‘It is a potion that exerts power comparable to a status recovery potion only in the outer zone.’

“What… What bullsh*t, this.”

Was there a special recovery potion that could only be used in the Outer Zone?

When I think about it, nothing comes to mind.

Han Jun-yeop started searching the Internet, caressing his eyes that were about to close because he was tired.

The search results showed that there was no such thing.

But it’s a recovery potion exclusive to the outer zone.

‘There can be no such thing….’

Is it possible that they are selling a potion that heals abnormal conditions and even mixes it with water?

Looking at the price, it is 2 million won, which is 1 million won cheaper than the condition recovery potion.

A reasonable doubt arises.

“… Anyway, this is the Association Market.”

Making potions is not an easy task.

This is a job that requires precise skills.

This is because in all crafting technologies, including potion manufacturing, even a slight change in the ratio of ingredients and methods can significantly change the performance of the result.

Only talent and skill can correct that.

That’s why you can’t increase the amount of potion by simple tasks such as drinking water.

‘Hunters with creative talents and skills aren’t rare for nothing.’

Then, what are these dubious product descriptions and relatively cheap prices?

“… Hmm.”

You can ignore it as if it is an item that the seller posted incorrectly or a fraudulent item, but strangely, you are interested.

This is an association market guaranteed and operated by the association.

Any act of deceiving the buyer will not be tolerated.

You will immediately be punished by the star rating system, and in the worst case, you will be permanently deprived of your market membership.

Doing such clumsy things, especially in an association market guaranteed by a hunter’s license?

“… That usually doesn’t happen, doesn’t it?”

Han Jun-yeop started the verification process.

Checking the seller’s information, I doubt it is an individual seller.

The temperature is the default temperature of 36.5 Degrees.

The star rating is 0 because there is not a single reviewer.

When I entered the personal sales page, there was no product review, and there was only one recovery potion for the outer zone that I just checked.

A situation where trust is completely lost.

“… It’s strange, really.”

But for some reason, I have a strange desire to believe.

Is it because it is a job that I worry about a lot?

Or is it because I’m tired?

I just want to believe in this miraculous situation and buy it.

‘It’s worth the money when you’re down. It’s a problem with no solution anyway.’

Han Jun-yeop put in a purchase request.

First of all, one.

I’d like to buy 10 of them at once, but the guild’s bylaws limit the purchase of one sample.

I’ll have to find out if this is real or a fake.

“… Hmm. I am tired and will die.”

I looked at my watch after completing the purchase request, and it was very late.

It’s one o’clock in the morning.

Han Jun-yeop prepared for work by leading his tired body.

Wednesday morning begins with monster analysis and practice classes.

Originally, it is time to prepare real monsters and teach the cadets their characteristics and weaknesses, but artificial monsters made of magic were prepared for safety reasons.

“The monster next to me is a specially designed monster, made with various materials and mana. However, its appearance and properties are modeled after the characteristics of a rock keeper, so there is no difficulty in conducting practice classes. Cadets, please take this as a reference while taking classes.”

The cadets answered the monster analysis instructor Gu Han-ye’s explanation.

I took the class boringly.

I want to sleep as much as I want like Go Soo-yeong, who sleeps next to me without any countermeasures, but I can’t.

This is because the instructor’s flexibility greatly affects the distribution of points in practical classes.

If you are filmed for something trivial, your score will inevitably suffer.

“Hey, please wake up the student sleeping in the back seat.”

When Goo Han-ye’s soft words wake up Go Soo-yeong, she gets up drooling.

“Umm….”

I took out a tissue prepared in advance and kindly wiped her saliva.

“Come on. Shut up.”

“So….”

“Nothing.”

Like this, she’s a bit of a mess, but to be honest, I’m most grateful to Go Soo-young.

Some of it is because she simply gives a lot of points, but it is also because she is a character who develops on her own.

I don’t have to worry too much about it, but it’ll be completed on its own.

“Now, shall we actually practice?”

After a while, the explanation was over and practice began.

The cadets stepped forward one by one and attacked a fake monster in the shape of a lock keeper.

The instructor recorded the score with a separate measuring device.

This is a practice to find out if you hit her weak point properly as she told you.

“Next.”

My turn has finally come.

I used conversion.

But it’s not a fake monster, it’s a monster made separately for practice, so I can’t use conversion.

Is it because it was judged to be non-living?

There is another way to do this.

I used mastery, analyzed the weakness, and hit the artificial monster.

Goo Han-ye praised with a satisfied smile.

“The batting score came out the most compliant. Qualities are visible. Is your name Ymir? I will remember it.”

When I returned to my seat, a notice popped up that I had achieved an unexpected achievement, and my skill level increased by 2.

[Additional Ability Skills +2]

When I turned my eyes away from the prickly glare, Ha Yeon-si and Mo Ye-ji turned their heads as if they hadn’t seen them, and Park Jeong-pal was glaring at me from the side of Yu Seong-won’s gang.

Is that bastard fighting again?

Because I was glaring at you the same way, Park Jeong-pal couldn’t meet my eyes and servilely groaned.

I ended the morning class with a satisfied smile.

Lunch time. I accessed the Association Market with my smart watch.

When I checked the personal sales page, there were as many as 48 requests for purchase.

According to the quantity, there are a whopping 300 pieces.

“… Oh.”

If I had known this would happen, I would have raised the price.

No.

If it wasn’t 1 million won cheaper than the existing condition recovery potion, there might not have been any purchases at all.

I used my lunch break to order the potion ingredients in advance.

I thought I could get all the materials after class because I used the same-day delivery and portal quick service of the association market.

I bought a better sub-space bracelet as well, but it was engraved with a light weight, so it seemed like it would come in handy when transporting materials.

I should invest this much.

As I was thinking about the production and sales plan of potions, I finished the afternoon class before I knew it.

I went to the portal store and used the delivery service, and received the materials needed to make potions and a new subspace bracelet.

And to the only buyer who purchased a quantity, the potion made with a prototype was delivered yesterday.

It’s easy to carry the materials with a subspace bracelet engraved with lightweight.

After arriving at the dormitory, I started working on making potions again.

But this time, the process was a little different. I was worried that the potion production information would be leaked, so I prepared the separately purchased ingredients in advance.

I mixed a little bit of unnecessary ingredients so that they didn’t affect the effect of the potion.

Even if there were people with appraisal skills like me, they wouldn’t be able to think of the original ingredients of holy water, sulwhasoo, or immunity wine when looking at my potion.

7 P.M.

Han Jun-yeop of the Daemyung Guild received a message that a parcel had arrived.

[Please check the courier.]

Unlike half a hundred years ago, portal services are active these days, so small items can be received quickly through portals.

I went to the portal service center near the guild building and was able to verify my identity and receive the delivery.

I checked the item, and it turned out to be the outer zone recovery potion I ordered late this morning.

“… What.”

But when I checked the seller’s address, it was Hansung Academy.

I guess it wasn’t a fraudulent item after all.

Han Jun-yeop tilted his head and opened the delivery box.

An elongated bottle resembling a test tube contains a black liquid.

“… Is this a potion only for the Outer Zone?”

From noble mtl dot com

Just looking at his appearance raises suspicion.

I’m sure they wouldn’t sell poison at a hunter’s market where identity is guaranteed, but the dark color makes it look like it might contain poison.

“Um.”

Originally, there were lab rats or biodynamic hunters that checked the prototypes, but the fact that the academy sent the items gave me confidence.

‘If it really works, you should verify it quickly and contact the seller as soon as possible.’

Han Jun-yeop used the portal on that road and headed for the outer zone.

He entered the outer zone after being identified by the guard hunter at the checkpoint.

He slowly killed time at the threshold of the Outer Zone’s influence.

After standing like that for about an hour, a reaction comes gradually.

I felt like an unknown disease was eating at me.

‘It’s been a while. Let’s drink.’

Han Jun-yeop drank the potion and immediately felt the effect.

He expected it to a certain extent, but it is absurd that something out of common sense really happened.

He laughed with his eyes wide open in amazement and bemusement.

“… This is genuine.”
