38
Everything is finished.
It was hard, but I leveled up and got a lot of items.
Although there were various incidents, no one died and they escaped, and Teresa, who had been injured, was fine, so all that was left was distribution.
For that reason, Dojin and his group were looking at the same screen at the bar where they first met.
[Matcheolgang Bracelet]
[Matcheolgang Ring]
[Matcheolgang Ring]
[Magic Steel Necklace]
[Matcheolgang Earrings]
… … .
It was a screen that displayed the loot obtained while party hunting.
Even for the “Magic Steel Jewelry Set”, which was famous as an Emperor training item, or rather, will become famous in the future, you get a bracelet when you first kill an elite monster, and then get two more rings, a necklace, and an earring by killing a boss, for a total of five pieces.
Dojin remembered that even after 15 years, each item was worth over 500,000 won, and necklaces were even more expensive, costing over 1 million won.
‘There’s no market price right now, but… I’d estimate it would be over 3 million won per piece, and the necklace would easily be over 500.’
If you just count the five pieces of steel jewelry, you can roughly estimate that you earned about 20 million won.
When the party was formed, Dojin was supposed to take 50 percent of what the party got.
That is, Dojin’s share alone amounts to 10 million won.
‘I’ve gained a lot from it, so I’ll more than recoup the amount I invested.’
Dojin quickly looked through the list of loot and the amount he would receive was around 15,000 gold.
The current cash exchange rate for gold is estimated to be around 15 million won.
It’s not as much as the amount Dojin invested to enter the dungeon, but it’s something he did to buy the experience points and time needed to level up in the first place.
As such, Dojin was not dissatisfied with just recovering this much.
Rather, I was fortunate that I was able to fill in a larger amount than expected by receiving several sets of steel jewelry.
‘I also gained something as a side benefit.’
All of the Ronin Club members were murderers, meaning they were chaos-oriented users.
Even though no one has given anything particularly good, it is enough to collect some change.
When she finished calculating, Teresa, who had been staring blankly into space for a long time, let out a suppressed exclamation.
“Euuuuuugh… … !”
Dojin turned his gaze at the strange sound and saw Teresa, who was trembling with her head down on the table.
‘…Why are you doing that?’
The moment Dojin began to question, Teresa suddenly raised her head and spoke to Soso and Sangsu.
“See this? It’s not just me who sees it, right? How much is all this? Just the magic stones, well, just the magic stones alone would probably be worth over 3 million won. Plus, good quality iron ore is incredibly expensive these days because of the level 40 equipment crafting. I’ll get as much for this as the magic stones… And if you add all the equipment items… … .”
Teresa’s face was filled with ecstasy as she mumbled to herself the value, market price, and approximate total of the items she had obtained.
“How much did you suffer? Your leg was crushed. In reality, if you were injured to that extent, it wouldn’t be strange for you to die from shock. Of course, it should have been this bad.”
Soso snapped at Teresa, as if she didn’t like how she was being so noisy.
“Are you sure you’re okay? I heard that a lot of people these days are suffering from trauma due to the shock they receive from dying or getting injured in virtual reality. If you hide it and get caught, you’ll know.”
But the added comment, though blunt, was one of concern for his friend.
“Ah, this is why they are born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They don’t know much about the ways of the world, but they really don’t. Soso, in this cruel world. It’s impossible to make this much money in such a short period of time, even if you do something that will break your legs in reality, not in virtual reality.”
Tsk tsk tsk. Teresa wiggles her fingers left and right to the rhythm.
Soso stretched out her cheeks in anger.
Teresa’s balls, like dough, stretched really well.
Dojin was so curious that he stole my attention.
“So roughly how much is our share? When we first started, we decided on a distribution ratio of 50% for the wizard and 50% for us… If we split that 50% between ourselves, how much is it?”
Sangsu asked Teresa, and Teresa answered quickly even while her cheek was being pinched.
“I don’t know the price of the accessories obtained from elite monsters and boss monsters because they are not available for sale, so I will exclude them for now. If I calculate only the remaining items traded at the exchange, it would be around 10,000 and 1,511 gold. In cash, it would be around 12 million won based on today’s market price. If we divide that in half and then divide that by three, we would be taking about 2 million won per person. Well, it would be a little less if you consider the commission.”
Dojin was surprised by Teresa’s unexpected appearance.
Unlike her rough calculations, her accuracy in calculating down to the exact amount of money was the opposite of the image she had shown until then.
“Your calculations are quick?”
“Haha, when I decided to hunt here, I memorized all the prices of items that come from the abandoned iron mine. If I just calculate the magic stones from Elmon and the boss separately, it’ll be quick. The problem is… … .”
Her words trail off, her gaze drifting into space again.
Dojin seemed to know what she was looking at without having to ask.
A set of jewelry whose price was probably unknown because it was out of stock.
“These are the trinkets. I think these are probably the first items we got.”
Dojin nodded at her words.
“We were the first ones to get in there. Well, even if the price isn’t set right now, there’s no problem in dividing it. Even though there are only five, necklaces usually cost twice as much. Then, let’s say there are six pieces of jewelry. I think you can divide them by tying two rings, earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace. After that, you can sell or use them as you wish.”
After finishing speaking, Dojin manipulated the screen.
The loot list is quickly updated on a screen shared by party units.
The magic stones were divided into quantities by measured grade, and the quantity of material items was distributed to each person.
That was when.
“Excuse me… I have something to tell you.”
Teresa called Dojin with a very serious face.
Dojin looked at her.
Although it had only been a short period of time, Teresa had become accustomed to Dojin speaking only with his eyes and continued speaking without waiting for an answer.
“We talked it over among ourselves. I think it’s right for the wizard to keep all the accessories dropped from elite monsters and bosses.”
Dojin’s eyes widened slightly at the unexpected words.
“Is that okay? It’ll be pretty expensive.”
“Honestly, it’s a shame… but I think you should take care of your conscience. If you look at the contribution, I think that’s right. The one who found that space behind that tunnel was the wizard, and the one who thought of breaking through there and made it happen was the wizard. Plus… what you used back then must have been pretty expensive.”

Dojin, who had been looking at Teresa for a moment, then turned his gaze to Sangsu and Soso.
“I know you said you had already discussed it, but are you two okay?”
“Well, it’s true that we were just hangers-on and the important work was done by the priest.”
“I’m not really interested in game money.”
Sangsu answers with a sad smile, and Soso tells him to do as he pleases because she is literally not interested.
Dojin thought while looking at the three of them.
When there is a lot to share, it is normal in this world for family members to fight over who gets their share.
Since they have contributed more, they should take more. They will be satisfied with this amount. It is easy to say. If it is obvious, then it is obvious.
It was very difficult to take something for granted. Dojin, who had experienced many things for quite a long time in his previous life, knew this very well.
‘Honestly… I’m surprised.’
Dojin had no intention of demanding a larger share, citing his own contributions as an example.
Anyway, for me, this point is just a passing process.
Because I was aiming very high and was confident that I would get there, this amount of money felt like a sum I could happily split with my hunting companions.
but.
‘There’s no need to refuse something that is offered.’
I had no intention of shaking my head at someone who was willing to make concessions.
“Then… I won’t refuse.”
Dojin nods his head plainly.
Teresa saw that, bit her lips for a moment, then tried to speak.
“Excuse me, instead, Chi, could you please add me as a friend… …?”
“Friend… add… … ?”
This was something I never thought of.
It couldn’t be helped, Dojin had never used the ‘friend’ function after experiencing several betrayals.
Now, I can’t even remember the last time I added a friend or chatted with an in-game friend.
‘Because we’re friends… … .’
It’s not that I didn’t have anyone I could call friends in my past life. It’s just that most of the friends I remember are NPCs from Rostania.
Dojin, who had been momentarily absorbed in the appearance of unfamiliar words, deliberately pushed those thoughts away.
Just adding a friend.
An act of registering a name on messenger due to a connection from hunting together.
In the times when I was extremely weak, I would give meaning to such shallow relationships, cling to them, and even get hurt in the process, but now, things have changed in many ways to the point where I can no longer do that.
Dojin’s strength, the reality of the situation, everything.
Dojin smiled softly, feeling that he no longer needed to be surprised or wary of such a suggestion.
It’s changed. Dojin felt better every time he realized this short phrase.
“That… I’m not trying to be a bother. I’m not asking you to hunt together or take me somewhere. It’s just sharing information with each other? That kind of thing. Oh, mutual assistance. If there’s an opportunity to help each other, we’ll cooperate? Something like that… …”
While Dojin was absorbed in his emotions, Teresa was talking nonsense.
There was a reason why he couldn’t stand the silence, and there was also the fact that he was surprised by the smile that spread across Dojin’s lips, a type of smile he had never seen before.
“great.”
“yes?”
Then, Teresa’s rampage stopped at Dojin’s one word.
Teresa blinked and asked back at the consent that came so easily that it felt almost futile compared to the tension she had felt.
… is it good? and said.
“Yes. Why are you asking again?”
“Oh, yeah. That, that’s right. It’s nothing special. Haha.”
Dojin chuckled awkwardly, finding it funny, and spoke as if it was nothing.
“Oh, and if you haven’t decided on a hunting ground yet, try going to the Galilee Forest to the east from here. I happened to get a quest there… Maybe there’s something there.”
But the content was not nothing.
Teresa’s eyes grew as big as a frog.
The water level is also shining.
For those who had been suffering from Dojin for several days, the weight of his words could not help but be different.
“A quest in the Galilee Forest? Then wouldn’t it be better to clear it yourself?”
“I have to go somewhere else. It’s a bit difficult to take care of it there. I think it would be better to give it to someone I know rather than just leaving it alone.”
The quest was just a made-up excuse, but it was true that there might be something in the Galilee Forest.
The Forest of Galilee is where a wounded giant hides.
It will be some time before the giant is discovered and hunted.
‘Even if it’s not a hidden piece, information on the location of the field boss would be enough for the price of an accessory.’
“I haven’t checked it myself, so I’m not sure. It’s just a possibility. So if you don’t like it, just forget about it.”
“Oh, no! I will definitely go. Thank you. This information costs money, and you are giving us this information.”
Nodding, Teresa clenched her fists under the table.
‘It was good that it looked good.’
Teresa’s decision to give up the jewelry to Dojin was partly due to her conscience, but also had some level of self-interest behind it, even to the point of persuading her friends.
Rather than focusing on the money that is immediately in front of you, you decided to focus on building connections.
‘Sangsu will soon be enlisted in the military and Soso will be taking over the family business. We need to prepare as much as possible before being left alone.’
While Teresa was smiling and thinking about that, Dojin finished distributing the food.
“The distribution is complete. Please check the list, and if there are no particular problems, let’s wrap things up here. We’re both busy these days.”
“Is there a problem? I’m sure you’ve taken care of everything. We’re planning on taking a few days off, but you’ll be moving on to the next hunting ground right away, sir?”
Dojin, who got up from his seat as soon as he finished his business, said as he accepted the friend request that appeared before his eyes.
“Yes. There’s still too much to do to rest.”
Current level 48.
There were only two levels left until Dojin’s first objective.
