Chapter 57: Money Money Money
Cono checked his character information on the way to the Mage Tower.

[Side Statistics]
Tenacity: 95 / Tenacity: 75 / Escape: 132 / Charisma: 41 / Dignity: 33
If other users could see his character information, they would be shocked by the stats they got for his level.
A regular level 100 user will receive 297 Star Points.
However, Conou's fitness index alone exceeded 300, and the feeling index of almost 400 when he put all the points into it.
Moreover, magic and spirit combined is 310.
His stats add up to more than 1,000.
This is the result of all the stats he obtained from Balamut and Percy, the Balamut armor set, the Demon Swordsman (Ubiste), and the stats stolen from Dark Strike.
He's a monster in terms of statistics!
"But I'm not there yet!"
Cono wants to be stronger. Because if he does, he'll make more money!
Since he decided to play Arth for a living, he has scored only one goal.
Change his life!
He recently decided that he wanted to do something to help him do that.
Building!
If you want to change your life, you must have one or two buildings.
"Landlord, hehe......"
The landlord is taking over the tenants and making sure they get the monthly rent!
His heart beat with this thought, and he was glad to think of it.
"Hey. β
Con O's smile like a madman and strode forward.
He reached the front of the nine-story Giant Mage's Tower.
Conou meets Granno at the 2nd floor cafΓ© of the Mage's Tower.
"Have you got them all?"
Grano was surprised.
Cono removed 200 AgatΓ© Crystals and AgatΓ© Boss Crystals from the list and stacked them on the table.
Grano opens up a subspace.
The subspace is similar to the checklist used by magicians.
Granor shoved all the AgatΓ© crystals into his subspace.
"I should be able to finish the equipment with all of this," Grano said excitedly.
"Then let's go to the Barryton Desert together. β
"Of course. β
Grano nodded.
[Mission accomplished.] ]
"When are we going?" asked Conou.
He wanted to go as soon as possible.
"It takes me about 1 week at most and 2 weeks at worst. You know, I need to process these crystals to be able to use them. β
Grano couldn't immediately travel to the Barryton Desert.
Since he needs to process the crystals before he can actually make a rain-making device!
Conou retrieved Karako's Lightning Crystal from his inventory.
"Do you need this too?"
Grano examined the crystal and looked at him in surprise. The crystals of Caraco are much larger than those of Agator or the chieftains of Agat.
"Can I take a closer look?"
"Well done. β
Conou handed him the crystal, and Granno examined it carefully.
"It's not a deadly crystal. However, it works similarly but with a greater effect. β
"I got it from Karako, a giant monster inside the Kestan Canyon. β
Con'ou briefly explained how he obtained the item.
"With this...... I could make a more powerful device!"
"So you said you needed it, right?"
"Definitely. β
"How much are you going to buy?"
"200 gold!" said Grano.
The Death Reaper Leader Crystal is worth 20 gold, but Granor is willing to buy Karako's crystal for 10 times the price.
His offer surprised him, but he wanted to see if he could get more from him, so he raised the price.
"What about three hundred pieces of gold?"
"You have a deal. Grano replied immediately.
Conou couldn't control his joy. He tried to get more out of Granor, but...
β500...β
Grano extracts three gold bars from his subspace and places them on the table.
"Let's take 300 gold first. After all, this isn't the last time we'll see each other," Granno said.
"Okay. β
Cono grabbed three gold bars.
Grano also puts Caraco's crystal into his subspace.
"Then, I will finish my device. β
After they finished their business, Granno left.
"Ah, please wait. Conou stopped him.
"I don't know when you're finished, I can't just sit here and wait for you. β
Wasting time is the worst!
"Hmm. Yes. So how would you like me to contact you?"
"There's a spooky mansion on Blue Cross Street. When you're done, please leave a message in this mailbox. β
The mansion with the ghost on Blue Cross Street is Ed's home.
"I understand. β
"Then we'll meet again soon. β
"Definitely. β
After Grano (Glenor) leaves, Conou goes downstairs to the first floor and heads to the area where Salipo is sold.
There was a male witch on duty at the desk.
Conou handed over the Judgment of the Lightnings to him.
"Please evaluate this and sell it on consignment. β
Con Ou only said what was necessary.
"Please wait. β
The man's glasses glowed blue.
The light shines on the camera like a scanner.
This scanning magic provides the user with various information about the object being scanned.
"This is lightning like never before!"
The mage raised his voice.
"And how much is it worth?" asked Conou.
"You said you wanted to sell it on consignment, yes? The tower will buy it from you immediately. We will pay you 1,000 gold. In exchange, we will not charge a commission. β
1000 gold!
The corners of his mouth twitched.
"I think you're sure it's worth?"
The mage said, "Of course. Because this is the first time we've seen this lightning spell, we've valued it at the same price as the most expensive lightning-fast one we sell here. β
Back when he came to sell Percy's handbags, he learned about the variety of handbags they sell here.
He definitely remembered seeing a lightning gift worth 1,000 gold coins.
"I sold it to the Magic Tower. β
"You made the right choice. β
The mage opened the safe on the side of the desk and handed him ten gold bars.
"Hey. β
Cono smiled. He's already earned 1300 gold!
Like I thought, you have to do everything yourself.
If Conou captures Karaco with one party, then the spoils will be divided among the party members.
Then, Conou will not have much profit.
But because he handles everything himself, he can earn 1300 gold. If he converts the money into cash, plus a 2% commission, it will total 12.7 million yuan ($12,700).
Furthermore!
And that's not the end of it.
"I still have the most expensive piece. β
Caraconi's golden spear!
A precious spear with a tip like lightning and a shaft that shimmered with gold. How much is it even worth?
It's time to find out.
There are two main ways that users sell their products.
They either sell it themselves or put them in an auction house.
If they want to sell their own goods, then they don't have to pay commissions, but they have to do all the hard work themselves. The auction house, on the other hand, takes 10% of the bid as a commission.
Cono didn't want to waste his precious time selling items.
So, he came to the nearest auction house to the Magic Tower, Thomson Auction House.
The auction house is built like a cafΓ©.
There are dozens of tables and comfortable sofas, and on the other side, they sell drinks, desserts and simple food.
The green square metal fixture is fixed to the ceiling like a chandelier.
This is a device that allows users to access in-game auctions.
In other words, without one of these devices, users won't be able to use the auction feature in one place.
Conou picked up a secluded coffee table and sat down on a couch.
"Auction. β
The auction interface appears.
The interface is divided into two categories: Auction or Sale.
"Let's start small. β
Conou opted for a sale and sold the Grade A boots he received from Caraco.
The auction will have three days and not immediate bidding. The starting price is 50 gold.
He moved his finger around the interface a few times and registered the boots as an auction item.
"Let's get out of the armor for a moment. β
He did not register a class of military uniforms in Caraco. Cono left it to gluttony.
And then. β
Cono rubbed his hands and fiddled with the auction screen again.
'Choose Karakuni's golden spear. There was no immediate bidding. The auction will last for a week. The starting price is 2,000 gold.
Auction registration complete!
"I don't have anything else to sell......"
Cono returns to the fold and chooses to sell.
He saw the search window, and all the items were divided into categories.
Cono selected the entire list and organized the auction according to the price.
He witnessed prices that dazzled his eyes.
And amazing items that match the said price!
Conou carefully read some of the auction items.
"There are already some items that require you to be level 200 or higher. β
Requires the player to have more than level 200 items.
This means that the best ranking has exceeded the 200 level.
It's not just the equipment; auction houses also boast of mysterious materials sold at exorbitant prices.
They say that artisan users go crazy when they see such a good material. This seems to be true.
However, there is nothing more valuable here than adamantane.
What if you want to auction a large amount of diamond? This is probably the most expensive auction in history.
That's the value of adamantane. There is no metal known as the toughest metal in the world!
"I should go check if the emery is still there. β
Cono closed the auction screen and got up from the couch.
Cono reached the arena below the Coliseum.
"Brother!"
"Little brother!" Berkan greeted Conou.
"How are you doing?"
"Well, yes. The Demon Sword vanished, and Master Valan did not show up. β
"Who the hell is Valan?" asked Conou.
"Hmm. That's a long explanation. In the past, he was known as the gladiator Lafan. β
"Ravan... Legendary masked gladiator. β
There was a man in front of the invincible gladiator Burkan who ruled the gladiator circle before him. That's nothing but Raven.
Since he wore a mask at all times, he was known as the "masked gladiator".
[You have learned new facts about Valan.] If the Historical Society had known this, they would have reassessed Valan. ]
"Yes, the masked gladiator Raven. He's also a good guy," Berkan said.
"But don't you want to see him?" asked Conou implicitly.
"Of course I won't. He's a good guy and he's always bothered by other people's problems. β
"Now I understand. I really don't want to see him either. β
Conou has no intention of getting bogged down in someone else's problem.
"Master Valan wants to see you," Burkan said with a smile.
"As long as I'm not involved in anything annoying, I can meet him. β
"But if you meet him, you might get involved in all sorts of nasty things. β
He's actually saying, "If you meet him, you'll get stuck in an annoying mission".
"Oops. Let's stop talking about this. Let's look at macaws. β
They say "be careful what you want", so Conou doesn't want to talk about Valan anymore.
"Did you find Bauer?" asked Burkan.
In order to mine emery gemstones, he needed a high-ranking miner. Someone like Bauer!
"Not yet. Did you hear anything about him?"
"I've heard he's mining some mysterious metal somewhere in Mount Parmas," Berkan said. However, it is possible that he will never be there again. β
[You have found the clue to the quest "Find the Main Miner's Gazebo", so this quest has been updated.]
"Mount Parmas ......"
Mount Parmas is also known as the back of the African continent and is an area that can only be reached by the best grades.
This area is inhabited by such powerful and dangerous monsters, so skills and data are needed to survive.
"It's too big. It will be faster to find a needle in a haystack. β
The Parmas Mountains are vast. In the real world, it's similar to the Rocky Mountains or the Andes!
"Well, you read that right. β
Buchan and Con'ou talked about it while they went down to the underground cave.
When Kang Ou saw the diamond gem, he rubbed it with his cheek and stroked it with both hands.
Ah, my little boy!
"I have to dig this up as soon as possible. β
He was thrilled to see such a mysterious material being sold at such a high price.
"Are there any other major miners besides Bauer?"
If there were other options, he could live without Bauer. There's no reason to focus entirely on Bauer. It doesn't matter, as long as they're master miners.
"I definitely have, but I don't know anything," Berkan said. β
"Oh. I wish there was a miner coming down from the sky right now. β
"It doesn't matter where you buy them, just bring them with you. β
Valan (Valan) leaves Berkan (Bukan) to take charge of the Demon Sword and the Vajra Gem.
Therefore, the invincible gladiator Burkan was forced to stay here to spy on them.
However, if Con Ou takes the diamond gem, then he will be free.
"I see. I'll leave now. β
"Okay. Make sure to bring a miner next time. β
Cono hugged the diamond one last time and left the gym.
He walked through one of Altan's crowded streets.
"I wonder how long it will take Grano to complete his equipment. β
Conou had some time before leaving the Barryton Desert.
There are two activities that are worth your time.
A man is looking for a hidden dungeon.
The second is to find a new body for Ed.
Conou apparently wants to find a hidden dungeon. After all, the more opportunities to make money, the better.
However, in the long run, it is better to acquire a new establishment for Eder.
For now, Eder is really useless!
"I should find him a new body. β
Eventually, Con'ou decided to find a new body for Eder. It's better to keep working him like a horse!
Cono remembered everything he knew about the undead monsters.
Lich is impossible.
Ed has said that he needs the Lich's body to wield his powerful necromancy skills.
However, the Lich is the Great Demon King, and Dream is expected to take off at the time of departure, and they have volunteered to become undead, so their power is extremely strong.
Even one of the famous Lich Kings, Marion (Marin), is a boss monster above level 300.
This means that the Lich has not yet been defeated by the player. Therefore, this is completely impossible.
Cono also excludes any monsters that are stronger or too weak.
''A level 150 boss monster sounds good...''
He felt as if a light bulb was lighting up in his head.
"Yes, there's that guy!"
There is someone there who fits this bill.
