How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

2 episodes

The individual hunter’s strength is also excellent, but above all else, the reason why he ranks first in the people’s preferred job ranking was money.

Even in the future when the new human race appeared, hunters of higher ranks appeared one after another, in the end, everything returned to the logic of capitalism.

If you have a lot of money, you can run a powerful hunter under your command and control the hunter world.

In fact, even before I died, the close secret relationship between Hunter and the chaebol was always pointed out as a problem.

How to make money?

There are dozens that come to mind right now.

Because I have personally seen and experienced various kinds of knowledge that mankind has acquired through experience.

You can build a market by preempting items from the dungeon, or you can purchase the land that has become golden after a dungeon is created at a low price.

But the problem is, and always is, money.

I muttered as I looked at the money stamped on my bankbook with a disappointed expression.

“Is this all?”

In addition to collecting all the money I have while tracing my memories, I also received a credit loan from an office worker and literally collected my soul, but 90 million won was all.

With this money, you cannot preempt goods or purchase land.

“I have to call this money…”

I wasted a week collecting money, and now there is a week left until the dungeon crisis.

I desperately shook my head and recalled the situation.

“Ummm…the stock fell and the exchange rate shattered…in the beginning, it was almost the end of the century.”

The dungeon, as if the portal in the game was expanded dozens of times, was enough to arouse fear in people just by its shape and existence.

Rumors such as the gate connected to hell and the invasion of aliens inflamed the fear even more.

It was chaos itself, with some people in a panic committing all kinds of crimes saying they wanted to live in a damn world anyway.

But the confusion did not last long.

“After all, nothing comes out of the dungeon.”

It is true that there are monsters in the dungeon.

However, monsters and ordinary people like us cannot leave or enter the dungeon.

That’s why Hunters are given special treatment.

Only those who have awakened can move freely between the dungeon and the Earth.

Anyway, unless there is an awakened hunter, even if a dungeon arises, it is nothing more than an unidentified thing that shines brightly.

Naturally, as time passed, nothing came out of the dungeon, so the people who were in panic slowly regained their reason.

Then the hunters appear and the information about the dungeon is gradually released, and the situation is completely finished.

“Do you want stock?”

I’ve heard there’s something about making money the other way around when stocks go down.

Hue is the goat

Gift? option?

I searched stock-related content on my computer and read the content on several blogs.

“… Margin? Leverage?”

Clearly, the title says ‘How to do an easy-to-understand futures option’, but I can’t quite understand what you mean.

“What is the expiry date? Is it like the maturity of the savings account?”

After struggling while reading blog posts and searching for a while, I shook my head and said.

“This is not it.”

I do not know the stock fluctuations during the dungeon crisis, and above all, the hurdles are too high for me to study and challenge myself in the remaining week.

Besides, if I make a mistake and even throw away this money, my plan will be completely in vain.

“Sure and safe.”

It’s an important moment in the next few decades that may change, and you can’t gamble.

I recalled the situation at that time.

“The siren sounded … the first time I saw a dungeon in breaking news.”

It was a huge shock.

I was terrified of the majesty that something was about to pop out at any moment.

And right away.

“I went to the supermarket.”

There was already a huge crowd of people in the mart, and all the necessities were out of stock.

“okay. daily necessity. Hoarding.”

At that time, the sajaegi was different from the sajaegi that had been in each crisis.

People blinded by fear made a fuss to buy daily necessities, especially food, even if they paid more.

I robbed the supermarket as well as the convenience store, but there was nothing I could get my hands on.

Then came the scammers.

“If you buy daily necessities with this money in advance…”

The hoarders sold daily necessities that they did not know where they were obtained, several times higher than the original price.

People couldn’t get their daily necessities anywhere, so they had no choice but to cry and eat mustard, and so did I.

It was clear that if you prepare and sell the goods in advance like them, you will be able to earn several times more.

But I feel a little queasy.

“…this is taking advantage of people.”

At the time, I was doing the same thing in reverse, swearing at the hoarders who were taking profit.

After thinking for a while, I frowned and said.

“Calm down. Jeong In-soo. You decided to live with the dog.”

Even if I don’t do it anyway, sajaegi will happen.

Conscience?

Have you already forgotten what happened while living with the thought that if you work hard you will find Gwangmyeong someday?

Moreover, if you do not raise seed money here and now, it will become a big obstacle to your future plans.

“Let’s eat heartily. Now is not the time to find something like a conscience.”

Besides, that was my original plan.

Isn’t that a hoax?

Buying land at a bargain price and pre-purchasing goods that have not yet been judged in value.

Only the items and amounts are different, but in the end, they are all the same.

Buying at a low price and selling at a high price using future knowledge.

“great. It raises seed money.”

So, what is the best item to stock up on?

“It’s ramen, too.”

At the time, a dungeon was created right next to the factory of the largest ramen company in Korea, and the ramen factory was temporarily closed.

In fact, even one factory alone accounts for less than 10% of the total ramen production in Korea, but even if the production increased, it decreased due to insufficient production.

I said with a smile.

“okay. Let’s go buy some ramen.”

It was impossible to store 90 million won worth of ramen in my studio, so I found a shopping mall on the outskirts of the city.

I looked around the room and nodded.

“This size is just right.”

This is enough to accommodate a box of 90 million won worth of ramen.

There is another important point.

I told the real estate agent who was introducing the mall.

“Is there only one entrance here?”

“Yes. This is a corner seat on the second floor, so there is only one entrance.”

I said banging on the wall.

“There is only one entrance, and the walls are not glass walls, but concrete walls… that’s good.”

Immediately after the dungeon crisis, there was literally chaos itself.

Some of them are mobs looting shops.

But in that situation, if I stock up tens of thousands of won worth of ramen and sell it back at a price several times higher than the original price, I might become a target of attack by such a mob.

Safety is of the utmost importance.

In that regard, if you reinforce only one entrance, there is no other entrance, so it is just right.

“I will do it here.”

“Short-term rental is 120 per month. You can transfer your account here.”

I said after sending 120 to the account I accepted.

“Let’s check it out.”

After talking to someone on the phone for a while, the real estate agent nodded and said.

“Deposit confirmed.”

But the realtor looked at me for a moment and said,

“By the way, I am using it as a warehouse, right? There are very few people who do strange things with short-term borrowing like this.”

I said with a smile.

“Do not worry. I plan to stock up on ramen here.”

“Ramen?”

If you’re a real estate agent, you’ll probably know a lot of people around here.

A dungeon crisis broke out, and you know that the shopping mall you know is full of ramen?

Even if I don’t do any advertising, it’s perfect for publicity.

“Yes.”

“Why do you have to go here for ramen?”

“I am thinking of exporting ramen.”

“Ah… that’s right. Okay. Then I will leave.”

After the real estate agent returned, I rolled up my arms in earnest and said.

“great. Shall we do the last job now?”

While the glass door, which is the only weakness and passageway of this shopping mall, was reinforced and a temporary iron door was erected to prevent a mob from approaching, the ramen ordered online was also piled up inside the shopping mall.

He said while looking at the ramen boxes stacked up to the ceiling with a proud expression.

“Very reassuring.”

These ramen boxes will become my precious seed money when the dungeon crisis breaks out.

I lay down on the cot I had prepared in advance and said.

“ruler. Now we just have to wait.”

No matter how painstakingly reinforcing it, I can’t just leave the ramen, my all-fortune and future.

I made up my mind to bring an extra bed as well as simple tableware, and I was going to wait until all the ramen was sold here.

I picked up my phone and checked the date.

“Exactly two days from now.”

A dungeon is created and the world faces a cataclysmic upheaval.

Some people fail to adapt to the new era, so they are slaughtered, while others use the crisis as an opportunity to leap higher.

And of course my goal is the latter.

Even more overwhelming and perfect than anyone else.

I said with a smile.

“I look forward to it.”

It’s finally today.

I said checking the time.

“It’s 12 o’clock… 30 minutes left.”

All preparations are perfect.

But at the same time, it’s incredibly tense.

“Isn’t there going to be a dungeon…?”

The years I have experienced are too vivid to be dismissed as just a fantasy.

The years of lust that I endured and lived and the anger I felt right before the last death still fills my heart.

I was shaking my legs, checking the news and the time on my phone.

“Ten minutes left.”

Time, like aeons, continues to pass.

“5 minutes.”

With the advent of the dungeon, my life will completely change.

“Three minutes.”

Hunters will claim that they are special, but for me they will be just miners working in a mine called a dungeon.

“1 minute.”

I’ll definitely have to make it that way.

“now.”

I quietly closed my eyes and listened.

“The siren sounds.”

An alarm siren sounds just in time.

– Whoa, whoa! This is a real situation. Let me say it again. This is a real situation, not a training. A while ago, in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, an unknown …

I smiled and opened my eyes and checked my phone.

“Breaking news is popping up.”

Suddenly, breaking news is displayed at the top in red letters, and at the same time, an alert notification text is sent to the mobile phone.

“Seongbuk-gu F-class dungeon.”

It was the first dungeon in Korea and one of the first must-see courses for newly awakened hunters.

The location and creation time of the dungeon all exactly match my memory.

I said, raising the corners of my lips in a confident voice.

“Now is the real start.”
