Chapter.9 Star Fall (22)
****
There has been an increased number of IDs in the chat room that are of concern.
-Goldman SUCKS: He’s a friend who plays the crappy game.
– Jokass: Um… I wonder why a precious person came to this shabby place…
– Goldman SUCKS: I also make a living from this game, but I can’t just sit still after hearing the rumor that the two guys I hate the most in GG are together in one place, right?
– takealook: But how do you get in here? Everyone who comes into the chat room in District 47 will be taken to room 2.
-Goldman SUCKS: Isn’t there a password here? They gave me about 10 million shillings, so they said it was something like ‘a preferential treatment for exchanges between rankers’. Rumors have been going around that Dom is starting a big business these days, and it looks like money is tight.
“…Are you going?”
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Soyuri. We’re in a bit of trouble these days. The Raptor has already sunk. When you have the upper hand, you have to attack quickly.
– professor: But does it make sense to sell chat room passwords like admission tickets?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Ahhh – A poor civil servant like me doesn’t know – Go ask the president –
-Goldman SUCKS: Hoooh. Is there also talk about Dome’s business direction? Just like a private club for someone called a hero. Ten million shillings feels cheap.
– Jokass: We…were we that kind of person?
– Highway Nacho Man: Since when did the District 47 chat room become a private club hahaha?
– Speed Wagon: There is a lot of advanced information circulating in this room.
-Goldman SUCKS: Speed Wagon? Were you active here too?
-Speed Wagon: Haha
-Goldman SUCKS: Heh heh, this is it. I guess I should at least send a gift to the inspector general. 10 million won was a bargain.
That guy. Ranker Goldman Suggs, famous for being the richest individual in the wasteland, had entered the chat room and was chatting excitedly.
– professor: Without further ado, why did the miser who still showers with rainwater pay 10 million shillings to come here when he has so much money?
-Goldman SUCKS: You came to watch the broadcast? Everyone has different hobbies, right? My hobby is doing business. Regardless of money, the intense psychological warfare and the battle over gold is heartbreakingly good. In the real world of business, there are not many such heart-pounding transactions. When things get a little heated, they pull out a gun and make low-level threats. This means that there are only low-level, idiotic merchants in the world. But it’s different in GG. When you do business there, you can clearly feel the fishy smell of money on Wall Street. I heard a rumor that right before Gold Geyser went bankrupt, he threw a bet. It’s a shame, but I have yet to beat those guys with my business skills. Should I really say that they are rivals?
– Noru Drug: Uncle, chat to 3 lines or less. Guk rules.
-Goldman SUCKS: Let’s change that rule starting today. How much will it cost?
– Noru Drug: f*ck it, brother, starting today.
After listening to Goldman’s explanation, fortunately, there seemed to be no special reason. I was worried because I thought it was Ian’s problem when he went out to do business at the dome. For example, the other person was hitting on the price, so I really hit it off, but it turned out to be a caravan operated by Goldman.
-Goldman SUCKS: Anyway, looking at the atmosphere of the room, it seems that unlike other rooms, this is an atmosphere that gives positive advice to the player. When you go to Rome, you follow Roman law, so let me just say something. That pig puffing next to you right now is not the top owner of Gold Geyser.
– professor: Well, I expected that. Saves you the trouble of checking. Thank you.
-Goldman SUCKS: They say they prefer in-kind gratitude rather than just verbal gratitude.
– professor : ㅗㅗ
In fact, most people, including me, probably thought that the fat man wasn’t really the owner of the top. That’s right, the top of the Gold Geyser has never been shown to the outside. But ‘I’m the top of Gold Geyser!’ Is it possible that the guy who pops out without even asking is really Sang Sang-ju? Perhaps the real person is hiding inside that porter and watching the situation, or he may not be here at all.
– professor: But if you just wanted to watch the show, there’s no reason to pay to come here, right?
– Goldman SUCKS: It’s the difference between watching the electronic signboard run at the New York Stock Exchange in real time while creasing your pants and watching it on your computer screen at home. I’m not the only one who bought this ticket. I heard you bought a copy of that rabbit too?
– professor: …..Are you going?
– Soy sauce gay bar: I don’t know! I really don’t know! And it is one of the policies that the administration is really promoting for exchanges between rankers! You probably have a lot of special information about this game! Originally, the Dome helped exchange information by arranging meetings between rankers! Because it will help you clear it!
– professor: So, how many copies did you sell?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: There are only two copies, Mr. Goldman and Rabbit Princess.
– professor: I’ll call the president.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Five! In fact, we only sold five copies! Except for one that was allocated as a research budget from the Department of Biotechnology, all the rest are rankers!
– Professor: Put down 30%. Send a message with the list of who bought it.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: 3….! Professor Park! Is this what happens between us?
– Professor: If you ask me, you will broadcast it.
I don’t know, but the dome just said that they put that guy, Ezel, in charge of our BDSM.
Anyway, I figured out why Goldman was here. Now all I need to know is why ‘this guy’ is on the ley line, and in this way…
“Hahahahahahaha! This is it! You really don’t know what’s going on in the world! I never thought I would meet you so far away from Tobrunn! And that too with such devotion that it fills my heart!”
“That’s what I’m going to say… but why are you here?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Leave it alone! Didn’t we become friends in that terrible laboratory? In my heart, you are already like a friend, so please speak comfortably, Professor! Hahahahahahahahaha!”
That crazy smile that doesn’t change whether the other person is frowning or not.
When I saw him before, he seemed like an ordinary person, but now, he seemed completely crazy.
“Shit. Okay, since you say you are a friend, let me ask you a question. Why are you here? “And wearing a Gold Geyser top!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! This Roman Gachia Manson! I miraculously received a lot of inspiration from Tobrunn! From then on, I left the path of being a wizard and started walking the path of magic engineering!”
Yes. A wizard who treated me humanely, taught me water magic, and helped me escape while I was being subjected to torture-like experiments trapped in Isaac’s underground laboratory in Turan.
Hero Unit Roman Gachia Manson. The so-called Roman Gacha Man was carrying a large box with Gold Geyser’s seal engraved on it. And instead of a clean blue robe, he was wearing a porter’s outfit with lots of pockets that looked like they had been sewn by hand!
– Jokass: Keeeeeek! Roman Gacha Man! Roman Gacha Man!
-Goldman SUCKS: It won’t be long before the impregnable Gold Geyser goes bankrupt, thanks to that evil bastard!
– Noroo Drug: Mr. Ajo, what can you do with 1.2 billion shillings and how much?
– takealook: 1.2 billion shillings is a small amount of money that one NPC can eat up in GG!
-Goldman SUCKS: Shut up, you guys!!! Even now, just thinking about that day makes me have to take a handful of blood pressure medication!
The ‘two’ guys that Goldman talked about the most he hates. One is the top of the Gold Geyser, and the other is the Roman Gacha Man right here.
This is one of the disadvantages of playing the game quickly at the beginning. Even when I met a hero unit, there were some who didn’t have the power of a proper hero unit, like Roman, whom I met earlier in the basement of Isaac’s mansion.
In that respect, the current Roman atmosphere is definitely quite different from then… he seems closer to a mad scientist. He was originally a guy with a bit of a free spirit, but now he feels like an artist drawing abstract paintings…
“Where did you meet that guy?”
“Hot hot hot! You don’t have to worry about me! “I’ve lived well everywhere-”
“I was caught stealing the Gongmanseok managed by our superior.”
It seems that they have completely deviated from the norms of the world.
“So, are you working as a porter for a merchant merchant to pay for the stolen goods?”
“Uhm… that was originally the case. In fact, I saw that some kind of beggar-like man had somehow crawled in and was picking up precious ball magic stones, so I cut off his wrist to make an example of him….”
“Hot hot hot! Surprisingly, this guy was helpful!”

When Roman, who suddenly joined the conversation, rolled up his sleeves, mechanical devices wrapped around his wrists and forearms appeared.
“It’s a device made to change cards when going to a gambling house because the tower has collapsed and research funds are needed! “If only the technician hadn’t sat next to me, I could have covered all of my research expenses with this device!”
“Wow… you really went as far as you can….”
“Anyway, seeing that device blocking the blade… I changed my mind. I decided that if I kept it alive, it would have some use somewhere. That decision was correct. He’s a friend who studies a unique field called magical engineering, and his dexterity is extraordinary. The crossbows used by the members of the upper division were all made by this friend. Now, I have moved away from being a porter and am working as a full-fledged merchant. “What that friend has on his back is not the stuff from the top, but all the stuff he needs for his personal research.”
‘That’s how it happened.’
I nodded roughly to what the self-proclaimed topman said and looked around out of the corner of my eye. Just now, when this fat man put the words ‘top….’ in his mouth, for a moment, I felt someone among the top people react.
‘What I originally wanted to say was [the owner of the business changed his mind]. It looks like there is a merchant in the group.’
Anyway, everything went well. If Gold Geyser succeeds in ascending the mountain, these guys will become rich enough to make a castle out of silver coins, and with that amount, they will be able to support Roman’s research, which is akin to a black hole that swallows money.
– Jokass: Hey! Let’s take a look at that! That outfit! If you wear baggy clothes full of self-stitched pockets and carry around a box of parts, you have definitely awakened into the ‘magic engineer Roman Gachia Manson’!
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Just in case someone is a romantic gacha man, look at them carrying around random boxes! I’m sure it contains what I’m currently researching, so let’s ask you to open it! You don’t know, right? Are they actually making a decent product?
-Goldman SUCKS: Don’t be fooled! That’s Pandora’s box! If only I hadn’t been tempted by that damn box…!
‘Ha, shall we take a look?’
Even though I knew I shouldn’t get my hopes up, I couldn’t help my hands itching when I saw that big box Roman was carrying on his back. Still, it’s a hero unit, right? Even though he lost the ability to use magic after handling the Gongma Stone and his combat ability is close to 0, he still wears a hero unit name tag? At least this guy has that much influence on the gachat items he pulls out!
‘I can’t stand it! ‘Let’s find out!’
When the professor, who had made up his mind, approached and made a request, Roman readily responded as if he had been waiting. The sun had just set and the people at the top were busy setting up camp and making dinner, so there was plenty of time to talk to Roman.
“Tsk! “It would be quicker to see it with your own eyes than to hear it with your ears!”
Rattling- rattling! Clap la la rock!
“Oh oh. “Wasn’t it just a box?”
“Because I have to carry around a lot of small parts.”
When Roman put down the box and opened the lid, it was divided into several small compartments. Inside, there were small pieces of magic stones, magic circuits of various sizes, various metal parts, and a blueprint attached to the wide open lid, and the largest empty space in the middle contained something that resembled a ship. Most of it was unrecognizable, but there was the only legible part of the blueprint. A long time ago, while he was studying magic alone with a magic book, he saw something in passing…
“…Flight magic?”
“okay! Humans have long dreamed of flying! However, flying magic is difficult for people who live their whole lives with their feet on the ground to conjure up an image, but those who are not wind-type magicians cannot read the numerous air currents in the sky and respond to them individually, so they cannot use telekinesis or elemental spheres (fireball, water power). Even though it is a common magic that can only be cast through imagery, like magic, it was treated only for wind-type wizards!”
click!
Saying that, Roman pressed the switch on the model ship placed in the center of the box, and the sails of the small model ship unfolded and the ship rose into the air.
“But I remembered! Mana is everywhere in the world. Natural wind also contains mana in its natural state, so if you use the air magic stone to suppress the necessary part, you can use flying magic without having to calculate the airflow complicatedly! Furthermore, if you use this method, you only need to create the flow of magic power itself, so you don’t need a wizard, just a magic formula engraved in a designated circuit and a ball magic stone airflow suppressor! Ego! This is the great invention of the great magic engineer Roman Gachia Manson! Model Airship No. 3! Ha!Hahahahahahahaha!!!!”
“Oh oh! “It really floats my stomach!”
“Manson, this guy, I was worried because he disappeared after he said he had someone to meet at the guard prison right before the incident in Tobrunn. Was he doing this kind of research?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. I feel sorry for Wizard Baudelaire. “He was taught quite a bit.”
“No! Isn’t it true that each magician has his or her own path? Although it’s a shame you got off track, an invention like this is worth it! “Not at all!”
A model airship rises above the dark sky, accompanied by the sound of Roman’s laughter. The airship flying over the dark sky, emitting the purple light of the magic stone and the blue light of the magic stone, was like a dream I had had for a moment. Floating in my happy imagination,
Tuk! Like that airship that falls.
“Uh oh, it’s falling!”
“Now, hold me! My model airship number 3!
Thump!
Instead of Roman, who turned pale and waved his arms, I caught the falling model airship. It is sturdy for a model, and the magic circuits were carefully engraved into the work.
“Even if you had a choice, why did you choose this?…”
I felt sorry for that effort and ended up sighing without realizing it.
– takealook: Oh my, I got caught even though I got caught.
-Goldman SUCKS: You will have to go to the merchants or those pretending to be merchants and persuade them. If you get fooled by that damn airship, even Gold Geyser will turn into shit in an instant!
– Highway Nacho Man: This game is like that.
When I handed over the model airship, Roman began to groan as he went over each and every magic circuit that was still turned on.
“hey. “That’s unfinished, right?”
“‘yet’! “It’s unfinished, but we’ve already succeeded in controlling the air currents and making it float in the sky!”
“You succeeded at that a while ago, right? “If that airship seems to take off, doesn’t it keep falling because it can’t maintain its balance?”
“How can you do that!”
The airship was one of Roman’s well-known failures. It was also a famous topic that seemed quite promising and was discussed in the community for over a week.
“Give up, dude. “It would be faster to research something else than that.”
The conclusion of the discussion was simple. It is impossible to continuously obtain powerful propulsion like a jet propulsion in terms of efficiency. You have to move forward while maintaining balance with a small amount of propulsion in an environment similar to anti-gravity through airflow control and flight magic, but in this era, there is no technology like a gyroscope, and due to the nature of GG, if the player brings in real-life technology, the game explodes. There is no way to teach you.
The bottom line is that if you can’t solve that balance problem, you’re out of luck.
