Money-grubbing Necromancer (169)
Flex
After Park Si-woo, it was Cedric.
The guy has a total of five tattoos.
-That’s great.
Bears, eagles, lions, cheetahs, etc.
Cedric nodded in satisfaction after seeing the elaborate tattoos carved into the bone. With this, all the men in the guild received the benefits of tattooing.
I went out of the break room.
Seo Ye-rim and Han Sia, who were talking to each other, looked this way.
Park Si-woo smiling brightly.
Seo Ye-rim asked the guy.
“Did anything good happen?”
“Of course. Ahem. Sisters, please take a look at this too.”
Park Si-woo raised his arm as if he was bragging. A picture of a hunting dog barking appeared.
[Hound Tattoo]
[Range: Arm]
[Effect 1. Increases agility by 6%.]
It was clearly a simple drawing.
Up until that point, it seemed like that, but when I looked closely, detailed information like items came to mind. The two people who saw it opened their eyes wide.
“Tattoo?”
“But why are the abilities… … .”
“Isn’t it awesome? It’s a technique that my brother learned at the gate. 6% ability per drawing. For reference, I engraved four.”
“If it’s four… … 24%?”
“That’s right. You can even carve more if you level up, right, hyung?”
“that’s right.”
Kim Min-woo nodded and briefly explained the tattoo.
It is said that this is a picture that the Barbarians were carving inside the gate.
Even giving a powerful ability correction. If Seo Ye-rim was greatly surprised in the ability section, Han Sia was a bit different.
“That one painting costs at least 25 billion won? It’s not even 2.5 million won?”
“Originally, Barbarians had tattoos covering their entire bodies. The reason they are so small is because I modified them myself.”
“Is something like remodeling possible?”
“There’s nothing you can’t desire. Anyway, all of our men, including Cedric, have it engraved.”
Kim Min-woo snapped his fingers.
This time, Merhen popped out.
“Märchen. Do you know this too?”
-Yeah. That’s what the Barbarians I saw back then did.
“Do you want to do it too?”
-……like that?
“Why? You don’t like it?”
-Not pretty.
“huh?”
-I don’t like it because it’s not pretty.
Merhen answered with a firm face.
Kim Min-woo blinked.
Of course, the picture wasn’t pretty, but that wasn’t the case. Even the hunting dog tattoo on his arm was like that.
A picture of a rabid dog growling and drooling, its whole body covered in blood.
If you look at it positively, he seems like a brave and bloody man, but if you look at it negatively… … he wasn’t very pretty.
Park Si-woo scratched his head.
“Uh… … Do you think the same thing, sisters?”
“If you say you’re going to draw, then you should draw. But my aesthetic sense is a bit… … I guess that’s true… … .”
“It’s too expensive… … Can I just accept something like this… … .”
The former was Seo Ye-rim’s answer.
Hansia’s answer was that she felt burdened by the price. Although she was born into a wealthy family, she did not receive much financial benefit.
There was nothing strange about that kind of reaction.
“You don’t have to worry about money. It’s just a small gift. But aesthetic sense… … Um… … That kind of content… … Okay. Let’s say that’s true. Märchen?”
-huh.
“Then which picture do you think is pretty?”
-like this.
Merhen reached out her hand.
Water flowed over her hands, creating an elaborate painting.
It was a picture of a tiny puppy panting with its tongue sticking out.
“and!”
“You’re so cute!”
The two women looked at Merchen’s water painting with admiration.
Compared to the hunting dog tattoo, this one got a completely different reaction.
It changed from feeling awkward even if they said they would engrave it for free, to now feeling like I absolutely want to engrave it.
‘I made a mistake.’
I thought that if I just showed my abilities, I would be completely satisfied.

I realized that the picture itself is also an important element.
Well, that’s true.
It’s not like pretty and cute things are popular for nothing.
In that situation, it might have been a mistake to show a Bavarian painting.
Then it needs to be corrected.
He called Hae-il.
The man who appeared in the form of a tattoo artist holding a brush and dye looked at Merhen’s hand.
“Hey, Hae-il. Can you change your tattoo like that?”
Hae-il scratches the back of his head as if he is troubled.
-Surely not?
The ambassador was asking questions, but his eyes weren’t. Hae-il hurriedly shook his head at Merhen’s fierce gaze. Soon after, the guy began writing on paper with a brush.
〈It is possible… … I might… … .〉
―Really?! Really? You’re making me cute, right?
〈However, the effect may change a bit… … .〉
– It doesn’t matter. As long as it’s cute, it’s fine. It has to be cute, no matter what. Got it?
〈Yes… … I will try… … .〉
Hae-il answered in a rude manner.
But, is that possible?
‘No, if you think about it, there’s nothing that can’t be done.’
It was like that from the beginning when tattoos were miniaturized.
-You want to draw small? It’s so cool, why?
I recalled the chieftain’s face at the past gate, asking as if he really couldn’t understand.
It’s not that the Barbarians can’t be small, they just don’t do it. The same might be true for drawing cute tattoos.
Why did you draw it so cute in the first place?
The ability benefit is a benefit, but the structure of getting a tattoo is for the purpose of showing off and creating a sense of pressure through the picture.
In other words, there was no need to draw cute pictures of Barbarians in the first place. Thinking about that, it might have been possible to draw them cutely while still giving them the same ability value.
‘The ingredients will be the same anyway.’
-Then let’s go!
Merhen grabbed the hands of the two women. The two people and one undead entered the break room with Hae-il.
The first task is more or less finished.
“Siwoo.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Summon the Holy Sword once.”
The guy who nodded summoned the holy sword. He looked at the sword that appeared with a pure white halo and took out a rune from his inventory.
Park Si-woo tilted his head after seeing the rune. At first glance, it looked like a gray stone.
The only unique thing was that there were all kinds of patterns carved into the stone.
“What is that?”
“Rune.”
“Rune?”
“look.”
I gave the rune to the guy.
〈Stamina Regeneration Rune II〉
[Effect 1. Recover 0.1% of maximum health per minute.]
“Rune? I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.”
“It’s made with the production technology obtained from the Gate. It’s a structure that applies effects when embedded in equipment.”
I explained the runes to the guy. The more he listened to the story, the more pale his face became.
“Uh… … So. You mean, you make it by putting in the materials and then inserting it into the equipment?”
“yes.”
“It’s expensive to make, but the effect is really good.”
“yes.”
Park Si-woo stuck out his tongue.
Recover 0.1% of maximum health per minute.
If you look at it like this, it looks incredibly small, but in fact, it wasn’t a small effect.
1 hour?
That’s a whopping 6% recovery power.
But, a rune isn’t something you can put just one on.
You can equip up to three of these per piece of equipment. This means that with just six of these health regeneration runes, you can recover 36% of your health per hour.
It was an item that could dramatically reduce potion consumption.
‘This is crazy.’
He was still a rookie, having not even been with the company for a year.
Even so, I have gained enough experience to beat up a fairly skilled player by going around the gate a number of times.
Which option is valuable?
Can you actually feel it with your body?
And that means we now know roughly how much it’s worth. From that perspective, this rune is…
‘Chewing.’
It was just a technology that was no different from a dog’s swindle. Of course, it had its drawbacks.
This was the critical flaw.
“So, even if I create a rune, the structure doesn’t allow me to choose the options as I wish?”
“Oh. That’s the most annoying structure.”
It was unknown whether the same materials would produce faster stamina recovery or a rune that increased defense.
Among the options there were also frequent cases where absolute values appeared.
Even though it is the same 2nd stage rune, there is a world of difference between increasing cutting power by 20% and increasing cutting power by +20.
The former is a luxury option, the latter is a crappy option.
How about filtering out crappy options and only including luxury options?
You need to spend your money wisely.
That’s crazy too.
“Hyung, are you really going to put all the runes in? It costs tens of billions just to make one level 2. You even have to change them when the next level comes out.”
This means that if you put in a 2nd level rune and then start making a 3rd level rune, you will have to spend money to change it again.
It was like a mobile game that was hit by power inflation.
When a new character comes out, the previous character gets abandoned, and then gets abandoned again… … .
A payment structure similar to that.
There are probably one or two pieces of equipment there.
If you put your mind to it and put them in, you can easily put in more than 30 or 40.
This means that this is a technology that really needs to be thought about in units of trillions.
This was even more true as the skeleton proficiency increased.
As your skeleton production technology improves, you will be able to produce higher quality runes.
but.
“What does that matter?”
“yes?”
“When the next step comes up, you can just change it. Is that difficult?”
“No, it would really cost a lot of money… … .”
Kim Min-woo chuckled.
“Hey, you’ve grown up so much. You even worry about money.”
“… … Are you really okay? No, this is too bitter. It seems like you’re the only one who’s being single.”
“I have a lot of money.”
“I know that, but… … .”
“I don’t know exactly how much there is, though.”
“Uh… … right?”
Park Si-woo nodded.
Few people knew exactly how much Kim Min-woo’s assets were worth.
Even I was like that right now.
How surprised I was when I saw the news a while ago that 160 trillion was spent at the Sky Auction House!
Considering such consumption, even if Kim Min-woo is called rich, he would only make tens of trillions at best…
“Let’s see… … .”
Kim Min-woo opened his eyes half-heartedly, looking ahead as if checking something.
Right after.
“There are about 200 trillion.”
“……yes?”
“There’s about 200 trillion. Of course, it’s not all cash. Anyway, that’s it.”
Park Si-woo opened his mouth wide.
Not 20 trillion, but 200 trillion?
Even if you spent it at the Sky Auction House?
“… …Why are there so many?”
“The US and China helped us a bit.”
Donjiral Guild sold 5% of its shares to the US for 100 trillion won.
What’s more, there was warm support from China as well.
240 trillion won given as education expenses.
Some of the money had been deferred to next month. Both amounts had already been deposited while I was at the gate.
Exchange system in the achievement shop.
This was a structure where assets such as real estate could be converted into points.
The total redeemable points is 200 points.
The exchange rate is 1 point per 1 trillion.
So there are 200 trillion.
Even this money was structured so that you could earn it whenever you wanted.
Even just tutoring is like that right now.
If we just open a magic class for Merhen, wouldn’t the tuition fees probably run into the tens of billions?
What if you sell runes and tattoos?
This is a completely new ability bonus system that doesn’t exist on Earth, so all the rankers will come here with wads of cash in their hands.
There was so much to sell, including equipment and potions.
‘The battery sales value will also come in over time.’
Mana?
The skeleton writes.
material cost?
There are so many of them.
What is the probability of failure?
Just keep screaming until you succeed.
That was the reason why I could hand it over to my guild members without any burden.
“… … You are really rich.”
“So, feel free to accept it. It’s in my interest for you to become stronger.”
“… … Are you really going to give it to me?”
“I have to do it. I know it’ll cost me some money.”
Runes can be placed up to three per equipment. Skeletons’ current rune crafting skill is E-rank.
‘It is possible to produce up to stage 2 runes… … .’
I plan to put all of this in.
“Rune, put it on the holy sword. See if it works.”
“yes.”
Park Si-woo placed the rune over the holy sword. Immediately, the guy’s eyes widened.
“Brother, you can put it in! I guess this is considered equipment too. Should I put it in now?”
“Put it in. It’s one of the top options for stamina regeneration.”
“yes.”
Park Si-woo put a rune on the holy sword.
Flash!
The holy sword turned a little whiter with a halo of light. Kim Min-woo nodded after seeing it.
“I need to buy some ingredients. A lot.”
The moment when he spoke calmly.
[Target, ‘Park Si-woo’s’ favorability rating increases.]
[83 ―〉 85]
[Details of ‘Guidance of Fate’ will be changed.]
“Oh, you’re up?”
Kim Min-woo’s eyes sparkled.
