Are you going to get it for free?
Will you pay a fair price and draw the line?
Choices come with opportunity costs.
This is something you learn in middle school social studies class.
If the opportunity cost is greater than the choice, it is not the right decision.
However, it is difficult to calculate this opportunity cost.
Let’s say you get it for free.
What if the Awakening Management Office later asks you something earnestly?
It can be difficult to refuse.
Because you received something.
On the other hand, what if you pay the price?
It’s like spending money you don’t have to spend.
There are so many places to spend the money you would spend on a penthouse, like buying land near Gyeonggi-do or investing in stocks. It’s a waste to think about spending your hard-earned money.
I’m going to spend the whole day just worrying.
Let’s move in a direction that makes us feel comfortable.
Joohyuk said, banging his fist on the table.
“I’ve decided. I won’t take it for free.”
“Then?”
“Let’s buy it. If I get it for free, I’ll get a stomachache. Just buy that apartment. My own money! Huh? That way, I’ll feel better.”
Clap clap clap.
A Cossack clapped his hands in admiration.
“You are truly so decisive. I have never seen anyone with such determination.”
A nodding hawk.
“That is a wise decision. I think it would be helpful in the future to draw a clear line between us.”
Two people who support Joo-hyuk’s bold decision.
Okay! Now let’s find out the price.
What, I have 3 billion won in my bank account, no, soon I’ll get 1 billion won more, so it’ll be 4 billion won, but this apartment is nothing.
I typed a search term into a real estate information site and clicked my mouse.
‘What?’
Did you misread the numbers?
Let’s go a little further and look at the details.
Circles one, two, three, four…
“Hmm.”
“Why are you like that? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing.”
It’s nothing special.
3.3 square meters, so the price per pyeong is
‘…200 million?’
The area is 100 pyeong.
So the current price is 20 billion.
The hand holding the mouse is trembling.
‘Oh, crazy!’
Isn’t this misinformation?
Even if it’s an apartment with a view of the Han River, it’s like that.
But it was certain.
Rather, it is cheap.
Below is a news article about a recent online lecturer who bought a similar house for 23 billion won.
4 billion isn’t enough?
Apartment prices vary greatly.
As Joo-hyuk was thinking, Cossack tilted his head and asked.
“How much is it? Can I buy it for about 2 billion?”
“Cossack, are you so ignorant of the ways of the world? Two billion is a lot of money that even if the working people of this world save for 100 years, they won’t be able to save. Two billion for just one house.”
“Is that so? Uh, 1 billion?”
“It’s still expensive, but I guess it’s worth it for a house like this.”
Joohyuk didn’t say anything.
Just closed his laptop.
“Come to think of it, I wonder if I really need a big apartment.”
“Huh? Your Majesty said a little while ago that the officetel was too small and that you were moving to a bigger house…”
Kyeon Dal-rae and Kosak are at a loss as to why Joo-hyuk suddenly changed his decision 180 degrees.
“Whew, that house is so big, it’s hard to clean. How many rooms are there? How much dust can there be in this big house? It would take a whole day and a half just to clean the living room. And then there’s the heating and cooling costs.”
Then the quick-witted Cossack quickly agreed.
“Oh my, I’m so stupid I didn’t think of that. Of course not. Who’s going to clean that big house?”
“You also have a garden, right? If there’s grass, bugs will flock there, they can come into the house, and it’s not good for hygiene.”
“Oh! Listening to you, I almost got into big trouble if I had bought it. How clear is your vision when looking ahead, Cossack, I can’t help but admire it again and again. Hehehe.”
“Hahaha, what about Hyean?”
Even the dandelion got involved.
“I don’t think the average level of heating and cooling is enough to maintain the temperature of the house. Also, the electricity bill is not negligible, and if you want to protect the environment, you shouldn’t live in a big house.”
“That’s right, when we talk about the environment, it’s me, Bong Joo-hyuk.”
“Whether you climb the tower or think about the environment, the girl is only worried about the dedicated efforts of the Bong Confucius.”
I feel happy.
As expected, these are the people who are summoned and know their own minds well.
Is that the only big house?
Well, instead of the 20 billion one, you can just buy something else worth 4 billion.
I’ll have to call you after I finish clearing the 66th floor.
I said I wasn’t getting it for free.
But I couldn’t help but keep seeing the penthouse.
Wouldn’t 20 billion just fall from the sky?
※ ※ ※
The next day.
Seoul Hannam-dong Gaksung Management Office Physical Training Room
Nam Ga-eun, who pumped up her muscles with morning exercise as part of her pre-workout routine, was sitting on the floor and meditating calmly.
I mulled over the attack patterns and characteristics of the 66th floor undead monster, Specter, in my head.
Even though the Holy Sword is an essential item that neutralizes the dark aura of the undead, you shouldn’t rely on it alone.
How to create a 1:1 situation.
Which skills are good to use in which situations.
If it comes out like this, it’s like that, if it comes out like that, it’s like this.
Nam Ga-eun finally opened her eyes.
I got up from my seat and left the gym.
When she entered the room prepared separately for the top entrance, Director Park Gyeong-su and Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il were waiting for her.
“Player Nam Ga-eun. Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
“Then good luck.”
Entry to the 66th floor.
The battle with the undead demon Specter has begun.
And 10 hours later.
The progress status window for the South Korea Tower raid has changed like this.
[Location]: Black Tower, Gangwon-do, South Korea [Completed]: 66th floor [Progress]: 67th floor [Time limit]: 179 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds It was a great feat achieved by Nam Ga-eun and Seonggeom.
※ ※ ※
It was a festival.
Nam Ga-eun and Seonggeom did it.
The press and broadcasting stations poured out articles in the form of special features.
The most viewed news stories from 1st to 10th are all similar in content.
The edited 66th floor strategy video was also shown on TV all day long.
The public’s response was also enthusiastic.
When Yoo Cheol-min naturalized, I thought things were over, but he turned things around so dramatically.
Korean companies also appeared to have been waiting and started producing advertisements.
It was probably made in advance, as it was released at the same time as the news of its success.
To celebrate conquering the 66th floor, there is a 66% discount sale on select items.
If your birthday is on June 6th, get an additional 6.6% discount.
Internet shopping mall 6:06 pm, 1 minute one plus one for some items.
Large companies only work in the morning and send all employees home in the afternoon.
So the bars and restaurants were also filled with people.
There were no rooms available at the motel that night.
It’s full.
No, I cleared the 66th floor, but why are there no rooms in the motel?
Won’t it be hard to make an appointment with an OB/GYN in a month or two?
In fact, it is true that climbing the upper floors of a top-secret mountain is a great achievement, but it is not something that the entire nation should be excited about.
But why?
The reason is because of the country right next door.
Because they made the tower climb a Korea-Japan match first.
Of course, the Japanese media did not have a single article about the successful conquest of the 66th floor of the Korean Black Tower.
Joo-hyuk also enjoyed the situation with a much more relaxed mind.
It relieved my mental burden.
Honestly, aren’t you also a person living in this land?
If the tower is in danger of collapsing, something must be done.
But it bought me six months.
Even if you go slowly, you should be able to easily get to the 60th floor by then.
By the way, my face feels a bit itchy while watching TV.
Did you rest too much?
I guess I can go up to the 35th floor soon, but
The problem is the high-rise building.
How do I join the party if there is no tank?
By the way, is our Gobang still far away?
I hope there’s nothing wrong with it?
I guess I’ll have to check the status window.
However?
“oh!”
The text “Cannot be Summoned” has disappeared next to the Catalog Item Savage Meat Shield.
So you’re saying I can summon it?
That’s good.
I have to try it right now.
Let’s call Mr. Gobang first, and then the others later.
“Summon Wild Meat Shield.”
[Savage Meat Shield has been summoned.] I’m nervous.
Was the axis strengthening successful?
Hwaaaat!
Spot!
A high-rise building that reveals its appearance.
“Welcome. Gobang… uh!”
It’s a high-rise building,
No?
“Who, who are you?”
“Gobang is a meat shield that is loyal to the Summoner of Bong.”
“…”
Joohyuk just opened his mouth.
What nonsense!
Where does this guy look like? Is he Mr. Gobang?
He was a neat-looking young man.
Of course, the upper body was naked.
But the height, the size, the head size, they’re completely different people.
‘The face… hmm, does it look a bit similar?’
Something seems to have gone wrong.
“I thought I would never come back. I am always grateful that you invited me.”
I feel like I’m in a very absurd situation.
※ ※ ※
Joohyuk was speechless for a while and just stared blankly at the man who claimed to be Gobang.
His face, which was covered in a beard, is now smooth, so it’s not certain, but if you look closely, it looks like he’s got a beard.
‘At least the eyes are bright.’
Joohyuk stood next to Gobang and checked his height.
He must be about 190cm tall. His size has also shrunk significantly.
The most reliable way to find out is to look at the catalog information.
Is there anything more certain than that?
<Catalog: Plain(?) Savage Meat Shield of the Plains Tribe>
– Name: Unknown
– Grade: SSR (Special Super Rare)
– Type: Savage Warrior (Human)
– Satisfaction rating: None.
– Re-summon waiting time: 3 hours (applies after unsummoning)
“…”
Right.
It’s clear that it’s Mr. Gobang.
The rank is SSR, and the axis strengthening was successful.
Instead, the adjective ‘stupid’ was dropped and the adjective ‘ordinary’ was added.
“Is this really Mr. Gobang?”
“No matter what anyone says, I am Gobang.”
I feel like the number of words I use has also increased.
I don’t think the speech has changed much.
“Excuse me, is it possible for me to recite the three principles of the accused?”
“You can say. Principle 1. The accused protects the summoner’s life as the top priority. Principle 2. The accused protects the summoner’s, um, the summoner’s…, uh, the summoner’s…”
“Okay.”
I still can’t memorize it, but it’s much better than before.
‘You gave up size for intelligence.’
I guess so.
‘But isn’t this a loss?’
Intelligence has increased only slightly, but the body has become significantly smaller.
Is this the result of a two-stage upgrade?
Are you just going to dismiss it as a little bit better?
Then that would be too bad.
It definitely felt unfamiliar.
Anyway, since you’re a new person, let me introduce myself first.
They call for a hawk and a Cossack,
Hwaaaaah! Spot! Spot!
“Thank you for calling…, huh?”
“Chung! Colonel Susual Cossack…, Huh?”
Two people are startled when a stranger stands in the room.
A Cossack with a puzzled expression came running towards Joo-hyuk at a brisk pace.
“Look, Summoner Bong, have you decided to make our presence known to others?”
“No.”
“Then who the hell is that guy? He’s watching us being summoned.”
“Mr. Gobang.”
“…Huh?”
“This person here is Mr. Gobang.”
There was silence.
Neither Gyeondal-do, Cossack, Joo-hyuk, nor Gobang even opened their mouths.
Yet,
“Hey, you’re good at joking. Where did you see that?”
“That’s right. Mr. Gobang, you’ve been promoted to SSR.”
“…Uh uh uh”
A look of still disbelief.
I understand.
Because I am like that too.
“Is this really Gobang?”
“Yes. Assassin.”
“Who killed you when you died?”
“It was the super demon Hydra.”
“What monster have you killed recently?”
“Stage 4 Minotaur.”
Chuck chuck, he answers well too.
Joo-hyuk also asked while looking at Gobang’s expression.
“Hey, Mr. Gobang?”
“The warrior always trusts and listens to the summoner’s words.”
“Do you know why the name is Gobang?”
“Embrace.”
“Should we change our names now? I’m afraid the word ‘Gobang’ might be a bit uncomfortable.”
“Gobang is the name the summoner gave me. I like it.”
“I will rebuild it for you.”
“It’s okay. I’m Gobang. I’m the meat shield that blocks the front of the Bong Summoner like an iron wall.”
“…”
Certainly, the number of words used has increased significantly.
Silence again.
It won’t work.
Let’s go climbing a tower to break the ice.
“Let’s go climbing a tower after a long time.”
“That, that would be good.”
“…The girl thinks so too.”
However, looking at the current state of Gobang, it is not very attractive.
Are we never going to see that powerful power again?
When Gobang returned to Ssulal, he planned to climb the 35th floor, but
It seems like it would be impossible now.
I’m talking about S++ rank strategy.
So, safely complete the 34th floor repeat mission.
[Enter the 34th floor of the Black Tower in South Korea.]
“Shall we go?”
Gobang steps forward with a “Wow!”
“I’ll go first. The rest of you, come with Summoner Bong.”
Why are you acting so anxious?
With such a small body.
Even though I’m only 190cm tall.
“…I think it would be better for Mr. Cossack to go first, but Mr. Gobang is staying behind.”
“Summoner, don’t worry. Just trust in Susual Gobang.”
“Hmm.”
Okay, let’s believe it for once.
How can you be so sure?
The 4th stage Minotaur appears when you receive the mission.
Almost three times more than the original.
‘The Minotaur could pick up the goblin with one hand and beat him.’
I’m worried like a mountain.
Joohyuk whispered instructions to Cossack.
‘Be prepared to intervene immediately if anything happens.’
‘Okay.’
Moment!
“Koooooooooo!”
The little room roared.
It’s a surprise.
Although he is small in size, his voice is still powerful.
That was when.
At the same time, a change occurred in Gobang’s body.
Plop, plod, plod, plod!
Bulging muscles sprouted from all over the body, accompanied by a strange sound.
Urgh! Urgh!
The size has also increased.
Just like the old days.
“and!”
“Hey!”
“oh?”
It keeps growing.
4m? 5m?
Almost as big as the Minotaur.
With every step I take, I grow.
Sideways and upwards.
Grow up, Gobang Gobang.
If you just paint your body green, that’s it.
Now, finally,
“Mr. Gobang.”
“It’s a mess.”
“The room is coming.”
