Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 113

Admission is a waste of time (113)

Lesson 24. Where can I find a freshman like you? – 1

Why did Ban Yu-won just leave the treasure chest alone?

This was due to a rather odd idea, as he was pondering over various possibilities to see if he could change the color of the box.

During the previous second exploration, he also obtained a treasure chest in Room 10 (it was a gold-rimmed tree), but that time, the chest opened before Ban Yu-won could properly examine the concept of the treasure chest, so he was unable to make any attempts.

The box is structured so that it opens the moment a person’s hand touches it.

You only get one chance.

“Can I open it this time?”

“Sorry, I have something I want to try.”

“ah…….”

Light, who had been staring at the box with sparkling eyes, stepped back, dead in his tracks.

Leaving that light behind, what Ban Yu-won took out was none other than.

“Shut up.”

“what?!”

It was a large amount of gold.

For 7.53 million Ronya each, you can get dozens of pure gold bars!

“What, what?! Where did you get this much gold!”

“My grandpa took care of me when I came to school.”

“Again, again, talking about Grandpa… …!”

When Ban Yu-won talked about his grandfather, he smiled innocently, and Ruchel felt a sense of competition burning within her.

But Dokgo Yeon nodded as if he understood something.

“I thought so. I guessed that you weren’t from an ordinary family, but if you’re carrying a large quantity of gold bars that have been certified by the state… … .”

“Oh, by any chance, half, no, half of you were royalty?”

“somehow……!”

Light, who gets excited and runs towards Dokgo Yeon’s words, and Ruchel, who belatedly claps his hands and agrees with Dokgo Yeon.

Ban Yu-won, who remembered talking about life on Earth several times, was taken aback by the group’s excessive reaction.

“You guys won’t listen to me… … . I told you I was an ordinary person?”

“In any dimension, the average person doesn’t carry that much gold around.”

That’s right, Ban Yu-won immediately understood.

The party members who took out gold to meddle in the treasure chest, but for some reason, they seemed more curious about Ban Yu-won who took out a large amount of it than about the gold itself.

He had already heard a bit about Ruchel and Wright’s family circumstances, and since he could have just ignored them, he decided to give a very brief account of his own family history, leaving out any mention of the Tower of Babel.

“My grandfather told me that this family was once the ruling family. I also had special abilities before I came here and discovered magic. It seems that many of my ancestors had abilities, so they have accumulated wealth over the generations.”

“I thought he wasn’t just a simple mutant, since he was selected for the Union Academy’s special admissions process in a dimension without even magical powers… … .”

“Indeed, the descendant of the forgotten royal family… … .”

Ban Yu-won tilted his head at the sight of Light grinning strangely and muttering.

“Light, why do you keep trying to make me royalty?”

“Huh? That’s, that, that’s right.”

It was something I said without thinking, but Light looked noticeably flustered.

Surely this guy isn’t thinking something unlucky like, ‘I’m royalty, so my friends can’t be royalty either’?

“By the way! What are you going to do with the treasure chest with that gold? Should I offer it as a tribute?”

Light, who had been avoiding his gaze and sweating profusely, blatantly changed the subject.

Ban Yu-won also had no choice but to go along with it.

“They say that the treasure chests that appear from the tower come in four different patterns: wood, copper, silver, and gold. So I thought that if I use my ability to change the material of the chest, the contents might change as well.”

“That’s a really ridiculous idea.”

Dokgo Yeon responded in disbelief.

“The contents of the treasure chest will be fixed when it appears. It doesn’t make sense to change the material of the chest, but even if you succeed in changing that, I don’t think there’s a chance that the contents will change.”

“Well, it’s a good opportunity to test my powers in many ways… … and I have nothing to lose, right?”

“I’m losing money… …?”

Light spoke in surprise, but Ban Yu-won, who had been waiting for those words, responded with a satisfied smile.

“Do you know how much our channel earned this month?”

“How much is it?”

“60 million Ronya.”

“… … ?”

“?”

“?!”

1 Ronia was worth 100 won in Korean Won.

That is, 60 million Ronya was 6 billion.

Even this is only the earnings from a period that hasn’t even reached a full month, and the earnings will only increase as more videos are uploaded in the future.

“No, how… … ?”

“That’s a lot of money, from the monthly fees and donations paid by channel subscribers, but ultimately it’s advertising costs.”

It’s too complicated to discuss Unitube’s profit structure in front of a trio who don’t even know the Internet, but I was able to convince them that the influence of a channel watched by hundreds of millions of beings on Unitube, which is intertwined with countless beings of higher dimensions, and the benefits it creates are by no means small.

Of course, everyone had expected it, but the amount of money that was handed out as a result didn’t seem real.

The deal was that half of the revenue generated from the channel would go to Ban Yoo-won and the other half would be split evenly between the three – but it was still enormous.

“… … Out of that, Yuwon’s share is 30 million, and my share is 10 million… … If you add them all up, it’s 40 million.”

“Why did you put that together, Ruchel?”

“The ability, the ability… … If it’s this great, kruk, even a ‘group’ of more than ten people can handle it, krurur… … .”

“Ruchel?!”

Ruchel is broken.

I’ve known for a long time that Ruchel is honest when it comes to money.

It doesn’t mean that he is obsessed with money, but to be exact, it felt like he had a very positive view of Yuwon’s ability to make money.

… … But I feel like it’s being interpreted too one-dimensionally.

“Dokgoyeon, calm Ruchel down while I work.”

“I see. … … If the profit is really that much, I think it would be okay to spend a few gold bars for the ability test.”

“Yeah… … I’d be happy if it ended with a few. I’ll give it a try.”

Again, the price of a 1 kilogram gold bar is 7.53 million INR in the Union after deducting various fees and taxes.

Four gold bars is equivalent to the amount of money Ban Yu-won earns from the Rebellion channel in a month.

Of course, it is because gold has an abnormally high value in the Union… … .

‘But I can’t help it because I can’t stand being curious.’

Ban Yu-won stretched out his hand, steeling his resolve.

The Celon that was in his inventory naturally popped out and was caught in his hand.

-What are you going to do? I’m tired from that earlier and I want to rest.

“It’s not as noisy as before.”

Ban Yu-won took a deep breath and checked the process.

First, he uses language magic to manifest the concept of stopping, preventing the treasure chest from opening even when it touches his hand.

I’m sure it’ll stop the treasure chest from moving, but it probably won’t last very long.

So we have to somehow finish the task before the duration runs out.

‘Analyze the structure of the treasure chest and instantly swap the copper and gold that make up the chest. It’s that simple.’

If it is the power of authority that he has seen, experienced, and practiced so far, then it is definitely possible.

The rest is just putting it into action.

He drew the concept of stillness in the air with his staff and then floated Celon into the air.

Celon will condense the staff’s vertigo and activate his verbal magic on their behalf.

―You’re the first person in my life who’s tried to trick me into giving you a reward for your life. How on earth do you know that the inside isn’t fixed?

There were several areas I wanted to tackle.

First of all, not only is Celon not alive, but how does he know about the tower’s rewards!

-Well, I’m a great wizard.

‘Oh, right… … . I just guessed, but the box is supposed to open the moment you touch it. I wondered if it was really necessary… … I just thought that maybe the contents aren’t confirmed until the box is opened.’

I would be lying if I said I didn’t refer to the famous Schrödinger thought experiment.

Isn’t the box tightly closed to maintain the independence and volatility inside?

Isn’t the saying that things come into existence the moment they are observed the most appropriate for the contents of that box?

―I told you it’s a really interesting world… …? Is it because there’s nothing to fight about that you’ve only increased your ability to think uselessly? Anyway, that’s fine. Let’s go.

‘Okay, I’m ready.’

Ban Yu-won stretched one hand out to a pile of gold, allowing him to pull out concepts at any time.

The concept of gold was contained in a single 1 kilogram gold bar, with 10 enums without margin.

Ban Yu-won swallowed hard and placed his other hand on the treasure chest.

“now!”

-Stop!

Put it on.

The box didn’t open right away!

But at the same time, he could feel it was trying desperately to open, making a crazed sound, and Ban Yu-won had to yell at Celon to pour all his magic power into it.

‘Analysis, analysis… … done!’

Treasure Chest 200 [Bronze Safe 100, Seal 100, Stop 42]

Ban Yu-won quickly understood and accepted the concept of creating a treasure chest.

A total depth of 200.

A box made of copper, a box made of gold, a safe, a frame made of gold, and a seal, an equivalent concept to prevent the box from being opened.

Perhaps this concept was what constituted the treasure chest, but now a temporary stop had been imposed on it, preventing the chest from moving.

[Stop 40]

[Stop 39]

The reaction was so extreme that even at this moment, the concept of stillness was rapidly disappearing.

There is no time to waste! Ban Yu-won quickly separated the concept of copper from the statue safe.

[Stop 37]

[Stop 36]

[Copper 30]

’30! At this level!’

He extracted 30 gold bars from three gold bars.

Fortunately, unlike concepts such as body or soul, gold is a concept that does not become lighter when overlapped, so even if you combine the gold extracted from three gold bars, the depth is 30.

Just put it back where the copper was!

[Stop 34]

[Stop 33]

‘If only I had a changeling, I could do it easily!’

But the swap process itself went surprisingly smoothly.

Copper was the core concept that made up the box, and if the space it was missing was not filled with something else, the box itself would collapse, so the concept of gold that Ban Yu-won had instilled was accepted as a given.

The problem was in the resulting synthesis that resulted from it.

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 80, Seal 100, Stop 31]

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 80, Seal 100, Stop 30]

‘What the heck, it doesn’t even reach 100… …and the box doesn’t even turn gold.’

Ban Yu-won intuitively felt that he had made a mistake.

Perhaps the statue safe and the gold safe are fundamentally different in terms of the ‘parts’ that make up the concept.

Because we tried to change it forcibly, the depth of the concept itself was reduced.

And since this treasure chest is a concept that needs to be completed at a depth of 200, it cannot be opened when the gold safe and seal combined are at a depth of 180.

[Stop 27]

[Stop 26]

If the statute of limitations for stopping like this runs out, there is even a possibility that the box will collapse.

So how to solve it? There is only one.

It’s quantity.

‘Yeah, the direction was right. I was just being naive.’

He set out to create the highest level of rewards that could be obtained in Eden, and yet he tried to make a killing with just three gold bars? He had no conscience.

Ban Yu-won made a firm resolution and began to extract concepts from the pile of gold bars and put them into the box.

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 82, Seal 100, Stop 23]

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 84, Seal 100, Stop 22]

Before the concept of stillness completely disappears, somehow we can get the concept of the gold vault to 100!

You can see the pile of gold bars rapidly dwindling, but you can hear Ruchel and Light screaming, but ignore them all for now!

That’s why I took this possibility into consideration from the beginning and put it out in a pile like this!

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 91, Seal 100, Stop 13]

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 92, Seal 100, Stop 12]

‘I knew it!’

Gold was clearly a concept that matched depth and mass, but the gold vault was not!

When I absorbed the same amount of gold earlier, the depth increased by 2, but now it is increasing by 1!

If this continues, the suspension will be lifted before the concept is truly completed.

Ban Yu-won desperately tried to give Celon a hint and strengthened his language magic, moving the golden depth as fast as he could!

[Stop 7]

[Stop 6]

[Stop 5]

Just a little faster.

hurry!

[Stop 4]

[Stop 3]

‘Okay!’

Treasure Chest 200 [Gold Safe 100, Seal 100, Stop 1]

The moment the depth was set to 100, the treasure chest transformed into a shiny golden material just like it had been from the beginning.

The grace period until extinction was only 1.

In movies, they always stop a time bomb just one second before it explodes, and I thought there must be a reason for that.

Those kids would start off leisurely, thinking, ‘Hey, don’t we have a lot of time left?’, but once the countdown started, they would become anxious and get the work done at a superhuman speed.

– It’s a real golden box… … .

“Phew.”

“Ah, ahhh.”

“Gold… … .”

Light and Ruchel sighed as Ban Yu-won understood the hearts of the movie’s main characters.

Because half of the gold bar pile was gone.

“Originally there were 53, but 29 of them are gone.”

“Ruchel, you have nice eyes.”

“You said 7.53 million Ronia each, so 218.37 million Ronia… …!”

“Our Ruchel, you’re good at math too.”

“Please leave the household account book to me! … … Oh, this is not it!”

Although he had blown a ridiculous amount of money, Ban Yu-won had no regrets.

Anyway, I made a golden box.

The depth of the treasure chest itself may be extremely shallow compared to the golden chest that originally appeared in Eden, but a golden chest is still a golden chest.

“It opens.”

“The golden box!”

When she cried over the missing gold, Light and Ruchel ran towards her excitedly as they watched the box open its mouth.

Inside were transparent gloves and boots.

Honestly, just looking at the appearance, it seemed like the reward had become trash because Ban Yu-won had touched the treasure chest without any reason.

“… … ?”

“Ooooh, this is… …unappealing!”

I guess so.

Ban Yu-won smiled and reached for his gloves.

At that moment, the glove snapped, sparks flying and rejected him.

“uh…….”

“Wow, half of them got rejected?”

“Half-human?”

“… … How dare you talk about gloves.”

Ban Yu-won, who saw Ruchel suddenly make a fierce expression and pull out her long fingernails, desperately tried to stop her.

“You shouldn’t be mad at him, Lucelle. It’s yours.”

“yes?”

At the unexpected words, Ruchel blinked as if she didn’t understand English.

But Ban Yu-won was confident.

Even though it was only for a moment, it was because among the concepts read from the gloves, there was ‘wildness’.

“In addition, I also saw growth, assimilation, and thunder beasts. … … If my guess is correct, this is a growth-type weapon.”

“Growth-type weapon… … .”

“It’s an ancient artifact!”

No, I don’t know, whether there were such artifacts in ancient times or not.

However, it was very interesting that the performance of the artifact could be raised by directly granting it the concept of growth, without granting it life like Ban-Yu-Won.

“This… …me?”

“I told you there’s no one else but you. Dokgo Yeon, are you okay?”

“I do not depend on outsiders. If that is the lot of beasts, I will gladly yield.”

“Me too… … I was rejected by the other half, so I guess it won’t be any different for me. I’ll give in.”

“Well, then… … .”

With everyone’s consent, Ruchel cautiously reached for the glove.

The gloves did not reject her touch.

Rather, Lucelle kept nodding in admiration at the information window that appeared right before her eyes.

Without further hesitation, she put the gloves on her hands, took off the shoes and socks she was wearing, and put the boots on her feet.

The next moment, they melted and were absorbed into her hands and feet.

“Ruchel?!”

“It’s okay, Light. This is right. It’s even better, Yu-won. Originally, it lost all its potential and remained as a claw that could be equipped on both hands, but thanks to Yu-won, it gained new growth potential.”

“I’m glad it worked out.”

In fact, Ban Yoo-won also roughly predicted it.

Whether it’s growth or fairy tales, it’s a concept that seems simple, but surprisingly, it’s not something you can get anywhere.

It is easy to create temporary concepts with the magic of language, but it is difficult to find permanent concepts that are fixed in objects. This was exactly the kind of concept.

Moreover, when you reach the last lightning, a new species is born that even Ban Yu-won cannot understand.

In other words, those transparent gloves and boots were a set from the beginning, a lightning beast that grew by assimilating with the user… …in other words, a biological weapon.

‘I was already concerned about Ruchel fighting bare-handed, but Top gave me what I wanted.’

Of course, it was because Ruchel was originally a race that fought using their own claws, but it was still heartbreaking to see them with so many wounds on their hands and feet.

Now that you have a great artifact, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

“By the way, if this is a feat with 29 gold bars… … I think I’ll try again next time I get a treasure chest.”

“Ah, there’s another video that I can never upload to the channel… … .”

That was when.

The message from the tower appeared before Ban Yu-won’s eyes.

―Illegal access to the tower has been discovered. No punishment will be given in exchange for a reward for breaching the tower’s security. The tower’s reward system will be strengthened in the future.

“Oh my.”

A message along the lines of, ‘I applaud your skill in discovering and exploiting the weak point of the tower, but it won’t be easy to do so in the future.’

Ban Yu-won couldn’t help but laugh as the message seemed to fully reveal the personality of the top.

‘Okay, next time I really have to learn changeling from Mira.’

And the desire for challenge began to burn.

There was no resemblance.
