Episode 238: Goblin Country -3-
Seong Hee-young seems to think it makes sense.
“Real estate? Not bad. But is there any land as valuable as this one here? If we were to calculate the building of our group’s headquarters, we would have to empty out all the assets of the goblins over there.”
The goblins look bewildered.
“We don’t have any land… … .”
“If I had land, I would have lived there!”
“There is no land for farming or farming!”
What are you talking about?
I waved my finger, pointing towards the Goblin Land.
“Chairman Sung, you know that goblins, magical creatures, and other races live in their own worlds in subdimensions.”
“I know. I heard it from the wizards.”
“The same goes for goblins. There is a subdimension where they have lived since ancient times. And that subdimension is connected through here.”
You could call it a kind of sub-dimensional bridge.
You can go to Goblin Land through the place where the Geumoh Group building used to be.
And that’s always the case, 365 days a year.
You don’t need the Dasan Tomb or the three treasures.
If you walk upwards, you will reach it naturally.
As if you could walk across the suspended Olympus.
Seong Hee-young’s eyes began to shine with light.
“You can enter the subdimension. Any time?”
“Yes. Any time.”
“How big is it?”
“It’s roughly the same size as the Korean Peninsula.”
A new land the size of the Korean Peninsula has emerged in the heart of Gangnam!
Even if we had a land the size of Seoul, it would be huge, but how could it be the size of the Korean Peninsula?
How much value does it really have?
It was almost like a shock, like a new world had opened up.
Seong Hee-young smiled brightly.
“That’s good enough. I think it’ll be worth as much as our group’s headquarters.”
“Hey, Chairman. Where are you going to eat raw fish?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to give it to me?”
“Even if goblins are ignorant of worldly affairs, they are not stupid. If you don’t want to see ghosts in every building and dog feces all over every product after receiving a goblin-style complaint, handle it rationally. Rationally.”
“Tch.”
It looks like he was trying to eat up the Goblin Country in one go.
No matter how expensive the Geumoh Group building and the Gangnam land are, they won’t take over the entire Goblin Country.
The goblins who realized the situation expressed their discontent.
“Wow, that’s too much.”
“They say if you close your eyes, your nose will be cut off!”
“The Kims in Seoul are really mean!”
“Our land is ours!”
“We will protect our village!”
He’s jumping around and screaming at the top of his lungs, but he doesn’t seem to be really angry.
The magic wave was still quiet, and the gun I had heard of earlier was put back into my waist and thigh.
Still, we can’t let our guard down.
Negotiations were hastily advanced.
“Let’s end it by receiving some of the forests of the Goblin Country, and the right to mine resources and exclusive trade rights within a reasonable amount. This is also calculated by Chairman Sung’s side.”
“Mr. Kim. What are resource mining rights and exclusive trade rights?”
“That’s right. In your country, there are sheep clouds, fur lands, wind fairies, and rice fields, right?”
“ok.”
“The right to mine and sell it is a resource mining right.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“It is an important resource for humans. It is a rare magical material.”
At that moment, Seong Hee-young’s ears perked up.
Magic circuitry activated.
I could see letters gliding across my glasses, but I pretended not to see them.
I said that so that Sunghee Young and the secretaries listening in from behind could hear.
“Exclusive trade rights are the right to sell what you make. But this has to be limited. It has to be mutually satisfying. If one side suffers a loss, the relationship will eventually break down. If this place becomes a bridge between two parties, if the relationship worsens, both parties will suffer.”
“Ugh.”
“We don’t make anything?”
“Since the Kims like gold and silver ingots, should we make those?”
“It’s annoying… … .”
The goblins have a very bewildered expression.
That’s true.
You’re a bunch of goblins who like to play.
There is no economic concept of making something, selling it, and then using the goods obtained to buy something needed.
Because one goblin bat is all you need.
It’s a shame to link the two simply through land leasing and resource mining.
The goblins need to have a closer relationship.

That would be good for me too.
This is because, rather than going to the goblins to get one or two points when making something, a method of obtaining large quantities through mass production opens up.
Same, same again.
So, he manipulated the monarchy and sent a smartphone message.
To the best player.
This is the best time to use it.
There is no other person who is truly a messenger and an all-rounder.
“Let’s check out Goblin Country first. Shouldn’t we do some market research?”
“Right now?”
“I think it looks good. In just one day, people will come from other places.”
Seong Hee-young looked around.
People are already leaning in.
Even though the employees of the Kumoh Group surrounded them, by the time they saw the cameras going off, rumors would have already spread on social media.
“Okay. Let’s go right away.”
When it comes to Sung Hee-young, execution is key.
The action that made you come to me alone and make a request has not gone anywhere.
Just walk up.
It feels like there are invisible stairs, like there is a ramp, and if you think about it as walking towards the goblin land up there, you will naturally start to ascend.
Director Kim and his security team followed him in a hurry.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”
“If we do this well, there is a chance that the Kumho Group will become number one in the business world. Chairman Sung also felt that.”
“No matter what, first place is… … .”
“Isn’t this problem solved when Chairman Sung reaches level 8? I heard that the Shinwha Group and the Geumoh Group are on equal footing these days.”
“Ahem.”
Director Kim coughed in vain.
“There is no need for the Chairman to reach level 8.”
“sure?”
“Well, what about having a level 8 superhuman spouse… … .”
I just laughed.
Now we’re going to push forward at a group level?
Wake up.
I admit that Seong Hee-young is attractive, but I can’t see anyone who sees me as a tool for promotion as a woman.
Arrive at Goblin Land in no time.
The clouds that seemed to disappear, the furry land, the wind fairy, and the ink-and-wash mountain range were welcoming us.
Seong Hee-young, Director Kim, and the security team all looked around with their eyes wide open.
“Wow. What is all this?”
“Is this… … Goblin Country?”
“It’s like a fairy tale world.”
“I would love to live here.”
“Sniff sniff! There’s absolutely no pollution here! The air is so clean!”
“That’s right!”
“Even Haenam’s southernmost village wasn’t like this!”
“Marado too!”
“If you build a hospital here, a lot of patients will flock here.”
“We will also catch Seoul Shinwha Hospital!”
It could be used as a resort or as an amusement park.
The location is optimal even if you build a large-scale factory.
It’s in the middle of Gangnam, so transportation is a breeze and land prices are virtually non-existent.
There remains the problem of installing artificial structures on the sub-dimension bridge, but that is something Seong Hee-young will take care of.
“I like the location itself.”
“Right? It would be excessive to rent out the entire world. But I guess something the size of Seoul would be possible.”
“Seoul City… … .”
“Don’t be too greedy. It would take a lot of time and resources to digest that kind of land. Instead, I can give you a place close to here. Right next to the village. Don’t worry. Right?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah. Anywhere outside the village is fine.”
Where we walked in.
It was the Goblin Village of Goblin Country.
Of course I can’t give this place up.
But how big can the goblin village be?
A village with only 200 people.
There are only a few houses, and dozens of goblins live in each house.
Seong Hee-young smiled brightly.
“Okay, I guess that’s a reasonable compensation. How much resource mining can you do?”
“You can freely spread the land and sky leased to the Geumoh Group.”
“Is that okay?”
“It will be regenerated anyway. But not outside the leased area. If you spread it too much, there will be a problem with its resilience.”
“I understand.”
The four representative resources of the Goblin Land.
Sheep clouds, hairy land, wind fairy, and ink mountain.
Each is a rare material that contains special magical properties.
That’s not all.
When day comes, the sun rises and the sun spreads powerful divine attribute magic.
If you just collect those and generate solar power, you could create a high-level magic core, right?
Considering that the magical science of this world consumes magical power cores at a terrifying rate, the benefits that the Geumoh Group will gain will be beyond imagination.
“Your Majesty, I am here.”
“Ah, Director Choi. You worked hard today too.”
“No. I do this because I like it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Chairman Sung.”
“It’s been a while. Did your Majesty call you?”
“Yes. Hehe, I came running as soon as you called me.”
“Yeah. I thought it would take three hours.”
“I recently hired a teleportation superhuman as my secretary. It drastically reduced the time.”
Superhuman space travel?
The salary must be high, but you put in a lot of effort.
In return, the special buckwheat jelly set I ordered arrived in hundreds of sets in space-expanding bags.
“Sniff sniff. What is this?”
“It’s a gift. Please taste it.”
“Is it buckwheat jelly?”
“Buckwheat jelly?”
Goblins’ favorite food.
I like alcohol, rice cakes, and meat, but if I had to pick one pick, it would definitely be buckwheat jelly.
What I ordered from Choi Seon-su was a set of 10, each containing one representative buckwheat jelly from each of the 10 best buckwheat jelly artisans in the country.
The best player ran and ran and got it in just 30 minutes.
This is a superpower, what else is a superpower?
The goblins sniffed around.
They also make buckwheat jelly.
To be exact, it is created with a bang using a goblin bat.
With the most delicious buckwheat jelly in the country.
But you know what?
No matter how delicious a food is, if you eat only one kind of food, you’ll get sick of it.
If you like soy sauce chicken, are you going to eat only soy sauce chicken 365 days a year?
No matter how much you like fried chicken, you’ll get sick of it if you eat it every day.
You should eat pizza, taste pig’s feet and bossam, and sometimes even eat soy sauce and seasoning.
Buckwheat jelly will be added.
“where…….”
“Would you like to taste it?”
“Mr. Kim bought it for us, so we have to enjoy it!”
Goblins devouring buckwheat jelly in a hurry.
The mouth opens wide like a crocodile.
When you see this, you feel that even though they usually look human, they are not human.
The goblins who were eating buckwheat jelly trembled with their hands while holding the buckwheat jelly.
“Oh, it’s delicious!”
“What in the world is this buckwheat jelly?”
“Try this! It tastes like chestnuts!”
“Buckwheat jelly tastes like chestnuts?”
“It smells like strawberries too!”
“What is this, what does this taste like? It’s so rich and sweet, but it’s delicious!”
The trend is fusion.
Perhaps because he thought it would be a shame to only bring the traditional buckwheat jelly, Choi Seon-su mixed various flavors of buckwheat jelly.
Chestnuts, strawberries, blueberries, cream cheese, etc.
A feast of unique flavors captivated the goblins.
He quickly eats his share and glares at me with his red eyes.
“Mr. Kim! Give me just one more!”
“Just one more! Just one more! Just one more!”
“The goblin is hungry!”
“More! More! More!”
I saw the best player once.
Choi Seon-su nods confidently.
After a while, a line of superhumans came up carrying magic bags.
Food and drink pour out endlessly from the magic bag.
Korean herbal pig’s feet, Korean herbal bossam, cold pig’s feet, cold bossam, spicy pig’s feet, spicy bossam, makgeolli, chestnut makgeolli, bokbunja makgeolli, peach makgeolli, banana makgeolli… … .
“Kwaaah!”
“Kyaa!”
“This is real makgeolli!”
“The real makgeolli is the makgeolli we drink!”
“So you’re not going to drink makgeolli at night? Then give it to me!”
“You don’t like it? I’m going to eat it all?”
The fatal flaw of the goblin bat.
In terms of taste, they copy the best products in our country.
But, just that one kind.
I couldn’t make all these different types of things.
“Can’t you make something like this?”
“You can make it!”
“Huh! You can do it?”
“Eight! Buckwheat jelly, come out, click!”
pop!
All that comes out is just plain buckwheat jelly.
Of course, buckwheat jelly is the most delicious in our country.
An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the goblin who swung the bat.
“Will that work?”
A dangoma swinging a bat with great momentum.
“Strawberry buckwheat jelly, come out, click!”
pop!
Buckwheat jelly popped out.
But with strawberries.
The goblin bat recognized the strawberries and buckwheat jelly as separate objects.
“Huh?”
An earthquake occurred in Danggo-ma’s eyes as well.
“Isn’t this it?”
Seong Hee-young is staring at it intently.
I think it would be enough to show you this much.
“Trade is exchanging what each other does not have.”
So, they go in after laying the groundwork like that.
“Humans have a variety of foods, drinks, and clothes that goblins like. Female goblins would probably like pretty bags and accessories. Male goblins would like the games and entertainment of human society. Chairman Sung here, the Geumoh Group, provides these things to goblins. In return, goblins make various rare materials that humans have difficulty making.”
The deceitfulness of the goblins.
Come out the magic core, tick tock, come out the heavenly prize money, tick tock, come out the spirit egg, tick tock, that’s it.
If you have a clear target, you can create anything.
And if the Geumoh Group just builds a house for me, I’ll be hooked?
Even in the game, they were goblins who abandoned their own homes and lived in collapsed apartment complexes, taking pleasure in bathing in hot water.
“I like it. It’s a spot exchange, right? Just tell me anything. I’ll get you anything on Earth.”
“uh…….”
Danggoma rolled his eyes.
He looks at me as if asking for help.
I nodded my head vigorously while looking at the danggomas and goblins.
This doesn’t just benefit Seong Hee-young.
Due to this contract, Sunghee Young and Geumoh Group assume one obligation.
That the goblins must be protected.
Goblins who have no legal protection.
A guardian was absolutely necessary.
I’ll add my arm, but it won’t be enough just by myself.
Protection from at least one of the four major powers is essential.
If possible, go for the military or conglomerates.
“Okay. Should we write up a contract?”
“Okay! This time it’s not invalid! I won’t be fooled again! Huh!”
“The law of the Republic of Korea does not recognize goblins as legal entities. Therefore, notarization by a lawyer is meaningless. Instead, I will provide a guarantee. Anyone who violates the contract should be prepared to be turned into an enemy.”
“We can trust our Mr. Kim!”
“I must keep the contract, even if it means being afraid of the Black Star.”
The contract was signed in a warm atmosphere.
The Geumoh Group didn’t act that way either.
If things were as they were, it would be normal to somehow exploit the goblins by beating them up.
Because I’m in the middle.
I put Sung Hee-young in the position of group president, and I want to become closer to her somehow, and I am the center of a giant superhuman cartel that is slowly revealing its form.
“Thank you, Mr. Kim.”
After the contract signing ceremony, the goblins came rushing in.
“I never dreamed that we would come out into the world again… … .”
“I thought it would take at least a hundred years!”
“That’s right!”
“Who knew that there would be a Manpasikjeok in the North Pole?”
“If it weren’t for our legendary Mr. Kim, it would have taken a hundred years, no, two hundred years!”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“So what I’m saying is… … .”
The goblins who had been chattering for a while finally get to the main point.
Eyes gathering on me.
Eyes that sparkle like a cow’s eyes.
“Is there anything you want?”
“Should I give you some land?”
“If it’s Mr. Kim, I can give half of our land!”
“Ugh,” a gasp of air is heard.
Half of the land of the goblin kingdom?
That’s okay.
If you just scoop up enough resources, it’s only a matter of time before you’re sitting on a mountain of money.
But money is good anyway.
There are still a lot of them.
“Actually, there is something I want to have.”
“What is it? Tell me!”
“How about a set of 10 goblins?”
“I can give you 100 sets!”
“If you don’t have enough, I’ll take off mine too!”
I don’t need anything else.
There is only one thing I want.
“It’s a flowerpot.”
