I thought the spicy chicken would be the most expensive, but it turns out you can buy it everywhere except Bier and Elan?
└ It seems like it was purchased with investments from all over.
└ They probably plan to cover their losses by selling in every country.
└ Because the more you sell, the more profit you make.
└ The price is 7 Silver, which is still a great deal.
└ At this price, it's not bad. Yeah.
└ Terin just paid the price.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) So, what was the fund?
Huh?
└ You get a settlement ratio based on your investment.
└ If there's a loss, we're screwed, aren't we?
└ That's what a fund is, isn't it?
└ Even if you lose your money, no one takes responsibility. Haha.
└ lol for real, you still don't know? lol
└ This was led by the Magic Tower.
└ So even if there's a loss, the Magic Tower will somehow handle it.
└ There's a rumor that the Tower Masters are making scrolls to give out.
└ For investors, that should be enough to cover the losses.
└ The Tower Masters are the ones who are busy. lol
└ Yeah~ We're confiscating your magic research time. lol
└ Where do they think they're going to research?
└ If you don't want to die, make scrolls all day. lol
└ lol for real lol
└ It's a story from a year later anyway, so we don't know.
└ The moment we fail to recoup our principal, it's over.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) Who made the most profit?
Huh?
└ I'm not sure.
└ We'd have to calculate everything to find out.
└ Maybe Maderos?
└ Considering they have to pay usage fees to bring the chicken, surprisingly, it might be Terin.
└ Why are you leaving out the Osen Kingdom?
└ They haven't reacted at all, so I don't know.
└ How much did they put in?
└ Did they pay with the Hero?
└ f*ck lol They sold the Hero because they had no money?
└ Isn't that a crazy idea? lol
└ If the Hero hears this, they'll be furious. lol
└ The idea of selling your own country's citizen to another country is just f*cking hilarious lol
└ Are you a current slave merchant? lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) The ones who profited are us. lol
I'm surprised everything is so cheap.
└ We still have to be careful about how much we sell, right? lol
└ For real lol Who would buy at this price? I'm not buying, see ya. lol
└ If it's too cheap, that's also a problem, a loss.
└ Well, so it must be priced at a level where it's worth buying and eating.
└ When will the spicy chicken be imported and come over?
└ Damn, it takes at least a month from Bier to get here.
└ lol lol It's so far away. lol
└ Yeah lol Terin is screwed. lol It takes us 2 months. lol
└ Yeah lol It's the southern tip of Terin~ It takes 3 months, we're really screwed~~
└ I'm on an island, damn it.
└ lol lol lol lol lol
└ You can cry. lol
└ A real remote island appears. Damn.
└ What about the island? lol
└ What do you mean what, we just have to live. lol
└ Just export fish quickly. lol
└ Hey, stop playing around and pull the net. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) The reason I can smile even while living on an island. lol
(Frog giving a thumbs up.jpg)
I just laugh a lot.
└ lol lol lol
└ Positive Gallery Bear gets an upvote. lol
└ Wow lol You're laughing at this?
└ Are you crazy? lol lol You're still laughing?
└ Did your brain not get smashed enough? lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) The person who benefited the most in my opinion
(Man pointing forward.jpg)
It's you, drinking the cola.
└ lol That's right.
└ The Head Admin is using the money he made to cover the cola's losses. lol
└ I thought the cola was going to be discontinued.
└ Phew lol We're saved. lol
└ I'll enjoy the cola thanks to your money~ lol
└ Ah, it's sweet and delicious. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) The GOAT of the Gallery today
Head Admin << If it weren't for this guy, we'd probably be fighting over some weird bait again.
└ Head Admin, is it you again...?
└ Is it you again...? GOAT...
└ But you use all the money you get for the Gallery, don't you?
└ Damn lol Move out of your house first!!!!
└ Why does this guy live like that even when he has money?
└ We're starting to get curious too. lol
└ For real lol What kind of guy is he?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) Anyway, everyone's a winner. lol
For real lol
└ Yeah, no one lost.~~
└ There's no one who lost, period. lol
└ What about the nobles who lost?
└ Who knows.
└ Are you a noble?
└ So the loss the nobles took isn't considered a loss?
└ You got scratched. lol
└ The cola you bought was sweet. lol Thanks. lol
└ No lol You have to wait a year. lol
└ The investor's loss is the investor's choice, you still don't know? lol
└ lol lol You live such a naive life. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) I heard you can get a refund on fund bonds...
What should I do???
└ You have fund bonds?
└ Yes, I have them.
└ You can get a refund within a week.
└ Ask the Imperial Stock Market. Yeah.
└ Refund (20% fee)
└ lol lol damn lol
└ Why is dumping at the current price called a refund? lol
└ f*ck lol They're calculating at the current price, not even a seasonal item. lol
└ kekekeke It's cheap, cheap. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) I succeeded in refunding the fund. Damn.
But I only succeeded half.
└ f*ck lol lol
└ Refund (50% fee)
└ kekekekeke
└ Don't ever tell anyone you did this. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) I'm holding onto the fund. Let's go.
Hup, hup.
└ I'm collecting funds. lol
└ No lol It takes a year for the fund results to come out, why are you selling already?
└ Just wait a year and you'll double your money.
└ For real lol
└ Double? Tripling is totally possible.
└ You could even make 5x. Yeah. lol
└ But are you really stuck?
└ Don't know yet.
└ We'll only know if it's a profit when the time comes. lol
└ But we're just going to tease you, right? lol
└ lol As long as it's fun now, that's all that matters.
└ We're having fun. lol
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) If there's a loss...
Which one would be the biggest loss?
└ The White Tower that didn't participate?
└ lol lol lol
└ For real lol
└ But why was the White Tower left out?
└ They failed to persuade the Elf elders. lol
└ Damn geezers. lol
└ Are you crazy? lol
└ The most surprising thing is that Ardel invested, it seems.
└ They have the Red Tower, right?
└ Oh, right.
└ The Red Tower must have recommended it.
└ But why the White Tower? lol
└ Anyway, Terin seems to have spent a lot of money.
└ They won the pizza bid and paid to bring in the chicken, so it's double spending. Yeah.
└ But their business is doing well these days.
└ For real lol They're selling farm tools to the entire continent. lol
└ The Empire seems to have put in a surprising amount of money.
└ Really?
└ I don't know the details, but I know the proportion is quite high.
└ Since the Empire and the Blue Tower led it, that makes sense.
└ Yeah.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The facts haven't been confirmed, so everyone was just spouting their own theories.
Which faction benefited the most? That was unknown, but one thing was certain.
Whether I did well on my exam? Many people don't know this.
But many people realize that their exam scores were a total disaster.
Similarly, there was a faction that was acutely aware that they were completely screwed.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"These days, kids eat things like chicken and pizza... weird foods... Tch!"
"The so-called spicy chicken or whatever was just spicy and had no taste. Tch. Why do they like that stuff?"
"This mint chocolate, on the other hand, is delicious. My, my."
"You should eat stuff like this. These days, kids who only like spicy things don't know anything!"
"..."
Eris shut her mouth as she was about to eat the mint chocolate.
How did things end up like this?
During the bidding period, she had tried to persuade them, arguing that they had to bid, and even got angry, but it was a shout from the old geezers.
"These days, the young ones!!!!!!! All they eat is spicy stuff, it's not good for their bodies. Tch...!!!"
"Buying and drinking cola is the worst!!!!"
"As Elves, we must primarily eat food that comes from nature, under the World Tree!"
"Quite right, quite right! Elf Queen! What is your opinion?!"
Watching the old women shouting loudly, Eris felt like she was aging too.
'Why are you doing this!!!'
Whenever a new culture or item was introduced, they would do nothing but obstruct it.
What are culture and new items?
The Elf elders had already decided on their own that Elven things were the best and superior.
Eris was the most wronged of all.
She was the Elf Queen, but the influence of the 800 or 900-year-old elders was too strong.
'What about the other countries...!'
They had joined forces by participating in the large-scale fund.
It wasn't a bad request to ask them to just sell the goods, excluding the profits.
But in the end, they couldn't get their hands on any goods.
And they didn't participate in the bidding competition, insisting they had to somehow buy the mint chocolate that suited their tastes.
Those who had joined the so-called 'Chicken Faction' were probably all tearing into chicken right now.
She was filled with resentment.
'Why am I stuck here eating mint chocolate! I also like chicken... spicy chicken... pizza...! I'm part of the new generation that likes everything!'
She never thought they would refuse to join the faction just because there were demons and dark elves in the faction.
Even the demons and dwarves, who aren't on good terms, quietly joined in.
What could these geezer elders possibly be dissatisfied with to do this?
She had imagined countless times in her mind of breaking the elders' canes and dentures.
Why do they like something with no taste, like mint chocolate? This is why old geezers are like this!
"Queen. Is it not tasty?"
"No... it's delicious. It's sweet and soft, yet with a hint of anger..."
"Tsk, tsk. So the Queen knows a thing or two as well!"
"..."
Grrrrrr.
Eris, clenching her fist under the table, forced a stiff smile with a miracle of patience.
"Ahaha..."
Right, I'll endure it. Still, I've secured the mint chocolate needed for my plan.
If the plan goes as expected... I can... deal with these elders.
"Hmm... It's... delicious."
One day, I'll break all of these elders' canes and laugh.
A small darkness took root in Eris's heart.
While Eris was smiling like a clown and crying on the inside, there was someone who had benefited the most.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Queen of the Osen Kingdom, Beatrice.
She was organizing her thoughts while pondering the benefits she had gained.
She had gotten the bidding rights for free and was even set to receive a share of the sales profits.
A definite gain. This was a gain no matter how you looked at it.
She finished writing her letter and blew out the candle.
Maybe it was because the commotion had settled down. It felt quieter than usual.
In the dark evening.
Beatrice, having finished her preparations for bed, lay down on her bed.
The temperature of the bedding was adjusted by magic to match her body temperature.
It was soft and cozy. The bed wrapped around her body.
The bed, made by a dwarven craftsman, was excellent at providing comfort to anyone.
Despite that, what came to her instead of sleep was a headache.
"Hoo..."
She sighed, trying to clear her complicated mind.
What is the position of a queen?
It's a position where you have to govern the kingdom and worry about many things.
It's not enough to just handle domestic affairs; you have to be good at politics as well.
At the same time, you have to keep up with the rapidly changing flow of the continent.
Thoughts piled on top of thoughts, and her mind gradually became more complicated.
Will I be able to sleep like this...
Instead of sleeping, she leaned against her pillow and picked up the documents that her aide had submitted.
The documents compiled the key information of the Gallery, which was leading the flow of the continent.
She had already read them once. But she read them carefully again.
She focused again, thinking there might be information she had missed.
"Head Admin..."
What is this person thinking when he does these things?
If you say he's thoughtful, he's impulsive.
If you say he's thoughtless, he's shaking the continent with the Gallery.
A person like that couldn't possibly be running the Gallery with an empty head.
So... what is the Head Admin thinking?
Why does he only choose to do things that benefit the kingdom?
Thanks to this incident, the kingdom has gained another favor.
But Beatrice couldn't figure out the reason.
"Why...?"
Is the Head Admin a person of the kingdom?
Does he like the kingdom?
Or does he just hate the opposing forces of the kingdom?
Every time the Head Admin acts, the kingdom's position gets better.
Thanks to his help, the kingdom can breathe and its frustrations have eased.
But her curiosity remained.
It didn't get resolved; it only grew bigger.
"What on earth are you thinking...?"
She read the report slowly one more time.
She re-read the content that summarized the posts written by the Gallery Head Admin.
She closed her eyes and imagined the Head Admin's appearance.
How does he usually speak?
What kind of posts and comments would he usually write?
What would he like?
Is he interested in the kingdom?
He...
Her questions grew, but she couldn't find the answers.
It was because the information in the report was far from sufficient.
She slowly raised her head.
Just like how other people look at the Gallery.
She opened her eyes with a sense of longing and earnestness.
However, there was nothing at the end of her gaze.
"What exactly is the Gallery...?"
It was a question she had asked herself countless times.
