◈ Episode 016. How much does this cost? (1)
There is a place called ‘Market’.
market
I don’t know when, where, by whom, and in what form it was created.
But three things were certain.
One thing is that trading in the market boasted considerable stability no matter what kind of transaction it was.
Another thing was that the guardian constellation of the person who created and operated the market was the constellation with the name ‘Lord behind the scenes’.
Lastly, anyone who knows how to enter can use it freely without any restrictions by paying a small fee.
And that was the information Kim Joo-hyuk obtained by searching around the Internet.
“Is this here?”
In front of a ruined cafe in a remote area of Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Kim Joo-hyuk saw the cafe and picked up his smartphone to check the posted posts.

How to enter the market. (+Things to watch out for and questions about in additional markets.)
Written by: Typing Cat
※ First of all, before explaining, I would like to inform you that this article was written by my Constellation while possessed by a cat. He said that if he catches me, he will break everything, so I would appreciate it if you could understand that.
Now, today I will tell you how to enter the market, which is widely spread among our contractors.
However, even though it is a method, there is nothing special. If you just go to www.detectorone.com and make a market reservation, it will tell you to go to a specific place about 50km from your location.
Just go there and enter the door as instructed on the website, and you are done entering the market!
p.s. There are so many questions, so here are some things to watch out for and answers to any questions you may have.
1. Bring the market usage fee of 2 million won when you enter. As soon as you enter the door, a market employee wearing an anachronistic leather suit will come out and collect it. It’s easy to think of it as an admission fee. And the market is a bit good, but be careful because there is a 5% commission if you trade in the market.
2. Don’t be rude when you enter the market. If you get caught and misbehaved, you will be kicked out by the market owner and will never be able to use the market again. Because you can enter from anywhere in the world and because it’s safe, everything is traded in the market, but if you can’t enter, you’re an idiot haha.
3. If there is a fight in the market, ignore it. It is okay for contractors to fight among themselves, but since anyone can enter this place, even evildoers often visit. If you fight with a wicked person, your life will become tiring, right?
Just curious.
1. In Korea, it is illegal to use the market because evil people roam the market. But don’t worry about it. Anyway, everyone who drinks water in Korea takes advantage of it, so no one will catch them haha.
2. What if you get caught using Marketplace? Yeah, you won’t get caught, so don’t even think about it. Anyway, everyone enters the market differently, so the chance of getting caught is 0%.
3. Because the market is available all over the world, many people ask if they can go to other countries through the market, but that is not possible. Why? Why are you asking me that? If the cafe door is where you entered the market, you must unconditionally come out through the cafe door when leaving.
Lastly, Mr. Judge, this article was written by a constellation possessed by a cat, and I send my infinite loyalty to the proud Republic of Korea, which does not block sites even though the market is illegal ^^7
Loyalty!

Kim Joo-hyuk read the long text once again and immediately entered the cafe, thinking about the location he had seen before leaving Valhalla and coming here.
The musty smell you feel as you enter the cafe.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who guessed that this place had been abandoned for a long time based on that alone, quickly walked towards the side door of the cafe as written on the site.
“… … .”
A very old side door.
Kim Joo-hyuk opened the old side door, even though he had a strange doubt, as it looked as if the door would tear off if he applied a little too much force.
and.
“hmm… … ?”
Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously made a strange noise when he saw the sight inside the side door.
The first thing you see is the purple sky.
The next thing I saw was huge buildings reminiscent of a steampunk world standing here and there.
Black smoke rising from between the buildings.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who made a strange expression for a moment while looking at the scene, realized that the scene was very familiar.
Of course, it wasn’t that I was familiar with an unfamiliar steampunk building.
‘atmosphere’
Yes, the atmosphere was familiar.
Starting from that purple sky, a strangely cloudy moon appears.
Strangely enough, it was very similar to the night scene that Kim Joo-hyuk had seen almost every day 300 years ago.
How long is it worth appreciating the scenery like that?
“Is this your first time here?”
At the sound of a voice suddenly heard, Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze to look at the man who spoke to him.
The man wearing a black leather suit that seemed to fit this world view had a friendly smile.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon realized that he was an employee.
“Well, that’s true.”
“Then, do you know how to use the market?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded once at those words, took out the money he had saved before coming here, and handed it to him.
With this, Kim Joo-hyuk’s balance is exactly 30,000 won.
Kim Joo-hyuk used up all the money he originally had and the scholarship he received, which I don’t know if it was the first-place benefit or something, but Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t care and continued the story.
“I know how to use it, but I don’t know the details. Can you tell me a little bit?”
“Ask me anything.”
A man smiling lightly.
“… … ?”
Kim Joo-hyuk felt a strange sense of discomfort there, but soon spoke without paying attention.
“I want to sell some jewelry I have. Where should I go?”
“Are you thinking of selling it at auction?”
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think about it for a while and then shook his head.
“I just want to sell it quickly.”
“Then I think you can go to the third area next to the auction house. You can get there by walking straight from here and taking the third road from the left at the five intersections you see.”

“If I go there, can I sell it quickly?”
“There are mainly jewelers, weapons dealers, and people who deal in various illegal goods and stolen goods, so I think it will depend on the negotiations.”
“… … “In other words, it’s a market?”
“you’re right.”
“Who is the most trustworthy person in the three regions?”
“Although they do not charge high prices, it is said that stolen goods and jewels are best priced by those who use the name ‘Maurice.’”
“thank you.”
“Not to mention, if you have any questions about this, you can always ask the people wearing leather suits like me. “The usage fee is not only for the self-cleaning effect, but also includes the cost of these services.”
The waiter said that and took out a white cat mask for him.
“What’s this?”
“This is a small service I provide. “Actually, you don’t have to wear one, but we recommend you wear a mask here.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if what he said was correct and put on the mask.
“thank you.”
With those words, I lightly waved my hands and started walking towards the place he told me about.
‘It’s so complicated.’
A thought passed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s head in an instant.
In fact, if Kim Joo-hyuk wanted to sell gold bars or jewelry comfortably, he could just take them to a nearby gold and silver store and sell them.
However, since there could be problems after selling, he entered the market despite the inconvenience.
According to the information he found, absolute stability was guaranteed when trading goods in the market.
To conclude, Kim Joo-hyuk was thinking of dismissing things that might become troublesome in the future as troublesome now.
‘Anyway, I’ll sell it quickly and do some more training if I have some time left.’
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk walked a little faster.

Morris had been selling various stolen goods for over 30 years, and could be said to be one of the veteran merchants in Region 3.
In fact, there are a lot of merchants in Region 3, but there are only a few, including Morris, who have continued to do business for over 30 years.
So what happened to the rest?
In fact, most of the merchants who started with Morris are dead, although a few have retired.
For what?
Of course, there are countless reasons why merchants die, but most of them boil down to one reason.
Because they betrayed buyers and sellers.
As age and experience accumulate, merchants become more skilled and move to make more money.
In addition, since there was great stability within the ‘market’ for those who basically traded goods, merchants with some experience moved to make bigger profits.
Of course, it’s not bad at first.
Even if you knew that you were cheating on the buyer or seller in the first place, you mostly found out about it after the transaction was concluded.
Even if you realize that you tried to cheat right before trading, this is a market.
If anyone tries to commit violence other than the designated acts in the market, he or she will be thrown out of the market and expelled, so the merchants are safe.
Yes, in this market.
If merchants could stay in the market forever, it wouldn’t matter if they turned away buyers, but unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.
Because there are rules in the market.
Anyone entering the market cannot remain in the market for more than 12 hours.
Anyone who leaves the market may return after the 3-hour time limit has expired.
3 hours, which can be said to be at most.
However, if those three hours were the time prepared to kill a person, it was an overflowing time.
That’s why Morris has kept one iron rule he set for the past 30 years.
‘Never deceive customers.’
This is not because he is sincere and just, but to protect his life, he has been doing business for the past 30 years while following the iron rules that only he has set.
“… … “Where on earth did you get this?”
however.
“I heard they don’t ask questions like that here?”
He was experiencing the momentary but shaking experience of the iron rule he had endured for 30 years.
Maurice looked at the ring he was holding and unconsciously raised his gaze to look at the man who had just entered.
As expected, I couldn’t see the face thanks to the mask everyone wore in this market.
When I heard his voice, I could guess his age was in his early 20s.
However, what Maurice was holding in his hands right now was too much stolen property for someone in his early 20s to take.
‘A relic of the Age of Destruction… … ‘What?’
The era of destruction.
To be exact, it is a relic from 300 years ago when it was said that this world may have been completely destroyed.
‘Did I see something wrong?’
Morian looked at the man standing in front of him and checked it several times through his magical eyes, but no matter how he looked, he was sure that this was a relic from the Age of Destruction.
so that.
“So, how much can you give me?”
Maurice couldn’t say anything to the man’s words.
