chapter 3
3 episodes
In the news, a reporter on a helicopter said, pointing to the dungeon.
– Now, in the middle of downtown Seongbuk-gu, something bright white suddenly appeared! Eh… The estimated height is approximately 30m, and all surrounding citizens have been evacuated. A government official said that he was conducting an investigation with all possibilities open…
Then another breaking news appeared at the bottom of the screen.
-Additional unidentified light discovered in California, USA.
Something shiny, a disc, a gate, etc.
Because the exact name was not yet decided, the dragon name for the dungeon was all different in each news.
“There were several dungeons in total…”
By the time the dungeon situation calmed down, Korea had three dungeons.
One is that Seongbuk-gu dungeon and the other is next to the ramen factory located in Gumi, which will be created in a few days.
And after not being created for a while, another dungeon is created just before the hunter appears.
I remembered it exactly because the hunter appeared and the dungeon was newly spotlighted, and the media from each country boasted about the dungeon they had.
Then, suddenly, one thing came to mind.
“ah! Japan.”
In Japan, there were no dungeons in the early days, so there were news comparing Korea and Korea every day.
Of course, the dungeon was created soon after, but I remembered that it was quite late anyway.
I hurriedly searched for foreign currency on my cell phone.
“Mr.
While the exchange rate of Korea and the United States, where the dungeon was created, was falling vertically, Japan, where the dungeon was not created, was completely upward.
“ah. I should have bought yen instead of ramen.”
Looking at the current trend, I think the yen will rise further for a while.
After a while, I shook my head and said.
“no. Let’s not be greedy.”
It’s too late to buy yen now, and above all else, like stocks, I don’t have accurate information.
The only information I know is that dungeons are a bit late in Japan.
Now that there are no dungeons, the rise has risen, but is the dungeon crisis only a problem for a country because it came out in one country?
It is truly a global problem, but no one knows how long the yen will cruise like that.
“Let’s safely use only what we know. It’s just too much and it’s going to cause a lot of trouble.”
In the meantime, the news continued to report dungeon-related news.
– Right now, the mart has a huge crowd and the shelves where the products were placed are already empty.
“It has begun.”
The government has introduced a quota system to prevent hoarding, and producers are responding by increasing production, but it is almost impossible to supply the amount that so many people want.
However, importing is the same as other countries have set their feet on fire.
I was watching the news with a smile like that when I suddenly heard someone’s voice from outside.
“excuse me! Are you there?!”
It was the real estate agent who guided me to this mall.
“Did you come earlier than expected?”
With a smile on my face and a worried expression on my face, I opened the mall door slightly and spoke through the gap.
“who. who are you?”
“I. That’s me! that. Introducing this store! Do you remember?”
“Yes. I remember.”
“At that time, you said you were going to stock up on ramen in this shopping mall, didn’t you?”
“That…that…”
At that time, a real estate agent checked the ramen boxes piled up in the mall through the cracks in the door and said in a surprised voice.
“la. So much ramen!?”
“No ramen! Go back!”
At my words, the realtor hurriedly pushed the door open.
“that. Don’t do that, if it’s a relationship, it’s a relationship, but some ramen…”
Then, suddenly, the mall door stopped with a bang.
“uh?”
I’m not an idiot, and I didn’t expect people like this to come in.
There were already three safety hooks on the front door at the entrance to the shopping mall.
“Go back!”
“please! I can’t afford to go outside right now! Just a few boxes… no, even just one box, please!!”
“no! This is something I prepared for export! never!”
After arguing for a long time, I was finally able to close the shop door.
But the real estate agent kept knocking on the door even though the mall door was locked.
“Hey, you bastard without compassion!! I can’t even give you a box with so many!? just one box. Don’t ask for more, just one box!”
“no! never!!”
At my words, the realtor hurriedly said:
“You can give me money! Give me money!”
After thinking about it for a moment, I said.
“How much will you give me?”
I’ll have to think about it for a bit and then set an appropriate price.
“I’ll give you 3,000 won! 3,000 won!”
The ramen I bought was 20,000 won on the Internet per box.
30,000 won is 1.5 times.
can’t be satisfied
“I can’t sell it for that price!”
“What. what? If you go to the supermarket, that’s a little over 20,000 won! It’s 3 million won?! Thirty thousand dollars?”
“Anyway, I don’t sell it for that price.”
“…Then how much are you going to sell it for?”
I thought for a while and said.
“10 million won.”
“10. 10 million won!?”
That’s five times the cost.
It was the minimum price for ramen I set.
“Are you crazy!? No matter what the circumstances, five times makes sense!?”
“No matter what anyone says, I don’t sell it for less than 100,000 won. After all, if the situation improves and exports, I can receive that much, so why am I selling at less than that?”
“Which country in the world buys ramen at that price!?”
“I don’t know that, and I don’t sell it below that price anyway.”
Then the real estate agent, who had been silent for a moment, shouted loudly.
“okay. Eat well and live well by yourself!! You’re a sweet and sassy bastard! You bastard like a dog! A bastard who only reveals money!!”
Then, the voice of the real estate agent slowly drifting away.
“Hmm. There is definitely a sense of resistance.”
It’s still the first day, so it can be.
But if time passes and you can’t find daily necessities, will you give up after hearing the price?
Still, I’m pretty conscientious.
As far as I know, some hoarders call it 10 times or more.
There have been many cases of purchases since the situation calmed down.
“What. I’ve already made a price offer, so if you’re willing to pay that money, I’ll come.”
In times like this, the king is not the money, but the one who has things.
Those who could not find daily necessities line up in long lines in front of the store the next day, waiting for the store to open, and at the same time sweep away all the daily necessities.
Among them, most of them are unable to find daily necessities, and they continue to crave for daily necessities even more earnestly.
However, both distribution and production are insufficient to satisfy their demand.
Even the employees of the company in charge of distribution and production are often robbed for their family and acquaintances, so goods are inevitably out of stock.
Exactly four days after the dungeon incident.
“Are you there?”
The real estate agent’s voice was heard again.
While I was filling my meal with ramen noodles, I said, stealing the corner of my mouth.
“Yes.”
“Do you still have ramen?”
“Yes.”
“Then you said you were selling it for 10,000 won. Can I just buy two boxes?”
With that said, I pondered for a while.
“Um… the price has gone up a bit now.”
“Yes?!”
“It is a box of 110,000 won. Of course, we only accept cash transactions.”
“At that time, it was definitely 10,000 won…”
“price is.”
I said with a smile.
“Isn’t that a law that depends on the situation?”
Seed money literally means money used to germinate.
In other words, a million won today may become hundreds of billions of billions of dollars later.
“ね…”
“If it’s not true, don’t. It’s 110,000 won now, but it may go up more in the future.”
Then the realtor said in a crawling voice.
“…then I’ll buy 3 boxes.”
Rather, a real estate agent who wants to buy more boxes than before.
I said with a smile.
“good. Then come in.”
The real estate owner who opened the door to the shopping mall was surprised and said,
“this. This.”
For my safety, I installed an iron window and an intermediate iron gate connected right behind the door of the shopping mall.
In the middle door, reminiscent of a small prison, there was a small hole through which a box of ramen could go in and out.
“Please give me some money.”
As I reached out, the realtor counted the bills and pushed the money through the cage.
After receiving the money and checking the amount, I pushed the ramen box into the small hole drilled in the iron door.
“Get some sleep.”
“…when did you make something like this again?”
“Somehow, I thought something like this was going to happen, so I prepared in advance.”
Iron bars and intermediate doors made to secure a safe distance from customers.
It was a method devised to trade ramen safely from people.
So I pushed in three ramen boxes and told the real estate agent.
“Come here if you need more. I can’t say for sure if the price will be the same back then.”
Then the realtor sighed.
“ha. I will buy ramen at this price.”
So, I finally finished the transaction with the first customer.
How many minutes has passed since the real estate agent left?
“I. excuse me?!”
Someone knocked on the door of the mall and said,
“I just saw someone coming out of here with a ramen box, do you have any more ramen!?”
I said with a smile.
“Sure. It’s 11 million won per box.”
Customers came one after another, starting with real estate agents.
Of course, most of them got mad and screamed to death as soon as they heard the price, but some of them paid that price to buy it.
The ratio is about 5 to 1.
But the next day, the ratio rose to 5 to 2, and as the days passed, the ratio increased little by little.
Then on the third day.
The second Korean dungeon was created in the long-awaited ramen factory.
“Move! I came first!!”
“What are you talking about! My wife came first and stood in line!!”
In the end, people formed a long line in front of my shopping mall due to the ramen shortage at the ramen factory dungeon.
okay.
In today’s world, after all, the one who has the things is the king.”
“Next guest.”
At my words, a man opened the mall door and came in.
“How much is ramen?”
I said, pointing to the price tag on the other side of the cage.
“It is written here. Today’s price. 12 million.”
“No, it costs 120,000 won for a box of ramen…”
“Then don’t buy it. Go to the supermarket and buy it.”
At my words, the man bit his lip and said.
“shit. shit! Dirty hoarders bastards!!!”
At first, I felt a little uncomfortable being treated like sajaegi, which I hated so much, but after hearing that sound a lot, I have developed a tolerance for it, so it’s nothing to worry about.
“Such. It’s a sajaegi.”
I shook my head and said.
“Absolutely not a hoax. It was the ramyun that I had piled up for export, but it seems to be more profitable here, so I just sell it here.”
The man looked at me and said.
“you! I will report you!”
I said with a sullen look.
“Report. It’s not like I’ve already reported it once or twice. What.”
Out of the people who heard the price and left their seats, there were only one or two people who reported me.
Actually, a person came out from the office, but what the hell.
“It’s okay to pay a fine later, and I’ll take care of that, so we’ll talk about whether we should buy it sooner or not.”
It is said that if you do business without a business operator, an additional 1% of the total sales will be collected in addition to VAT later.
In addition, resell expensively with hoarding?
Regardless of whether there is a penalty for hoarding, I bought all of my ramen noodles online before the incident.
In other words, there is clear evidence of when I bought Ramen.
“There are a lot of customers in the back, so decide quickly. will you live Aren’t you going to live?”
Said the man who was trembling at my words.
“Give me a box…”
I said with a smile.
“thank you. sir. Payment is cash.”
