How to Spend Money Correctly (2)
30 minutes later, after finishing the thrilling PT gymnastics with the boss, the Death Knight began staring at me with eyes brimming with anticipation.
I nodded solemnly and immediately stepped into the system shop.
Ding—!
[Would you like to purchase the two-handed greatsword: Full Bloom of Silence?]
“Yeah.”
[Purchase completed. Thank you for using it.]
At the same time as the system’s notification, a colossal black greatsword stretching over two meters tall materialized in mid-air.
The Death Knight snatched it up in one swift motion, lifted the greatsword lightly in a single hand, and murmured to himself.
「This cool, unfamiliar sensation gripping my hand… This is ‘Cry Out, Hell’s Demon Lord’…」
“That’s not it.”
“Ah, is that so? I was only pretending because you told me to whenever you receive a new sword, my lord… Did you not like it?”
“…No, I liked the pretending itself, but Hell’s Demon Lord isn’t that big and fierce-looking.”
After giving a rough explanation, I set the Death Knight loose to play with the greatsword and entered the community.
Just to watch the reactions after the 700 billion won greatsword sold!
And as expected, the community had turned into complete chaos.
More accurately, the reactions were a little different from what I had anticipated.
“…? Dmitry Lighten? Who the hell is this guy who’s pissed off?”
I clicked on the first comment because the number of replies and the tone didn’t seem like simple trolling.
That idiot had been bragging just a month ago that he had saved over 34 billion rubles and the sword purchase was imminent. Now he was saying goodbye to the greatsword right in front of him? Pathetic, so pathetic~
- Isn’t that Russian S-rank hunter Dmitry Lighten?
Yes, the strongest in Russia, top 10 in the world ranking.
- But why is he being trolled for not being able to buy the sword? Did he do something wrong?
Where did he crawl out from? Three years ago the Korean Hunter Association snatched the S-rank weapon that Lee Taemin was supposed to get.
Right, they even tried to use it as a negotiation card to make Taemin defect? That guy got his weapon stolen too and you’re not mad?
- If he hadn’t done that stupid thing three years ago, the greatsword would already be in your hands. Tsk tsk.
- Don’t go anywhere, bye~
“Ooh… so that happened?”
Somehow I had ended up avenging Lee Taemin for all of South Korea’s citizens.
How sweet is that?
I thought something big had happened, but since it was fine I immediately checked another comment.
Dmitry’s heart is burning but who the hell bought it? Honestly, besides Dmitry, who else could handle an S-rank two-handed greatsword?
- Is it the Russian government secretly buying it with hidden cameras and then giving it back later?
- You idiot, at least read the news or something. The Russian government is broadcasting live worldwide right now. The president even appeared;;
Yes, right now the hunter who bought the greatsword is begging to have it returned to Russia lol lol lol
- The reaction to return it is so absurd. It was an item with no owner, why are they acting like it was theirs from the start?
- Anyway, the conclusion is that it’s super pathetic. Our Taemin hunter must have suffered a lot for three years… Please accept this big consolation.
“Hmm… that comment has no real meaning.”
It was basically the same as the first one—Russian hunters’ hearts are boiling.
I was about to stop trolling when something suddenly flashed in my mind.
I immediately ordered the MK-1 who was reading the community posts with me.
“Hey, Mark One, I just got an awesome idea. Want to have some fun?”
「My lord’s awesome idea… I am very curious what it is.」
“Really, even I think I’m cute and smart. Mark One, let’s mess around.”
「Mess around? What does that mean?」
Mark One tilted his head, unable to understand the word, so I decided action would be faster than explanation.
“I’ll explain later. Quickly write the post and hold the greatsword like this, raising your middle finger in the middle.”
「Raising the middle finger? Ah, you mean the middle finger?」
“Yeah, I’ll take the photo. Hurry!!”
At my urging, the Death Knight stood up at once, raised the greatsword in his right hand, and draped it over his shoulder.
Then with his left hand he proudly raised his middle finger toward the camera.
Clap clap—! Clap clap!!
“Perfect!! Holy perfect!!”
Overwhelmed by the flawless pose that could have been a model for hundreds of shots, I clapped three times in excitement and immediately started taking photos.
“Okay, let’s change the pose a little. This time… stick the greatsword into the floor and raise both middle fingers!”
「Understood.」
“Okay!! Too perfect, you? Right now you’re amazing. Next pose… aura!! Let’s spread the aura!”
「Understood.」
The Death Knight followed my commands without hesitation, and thanks to him I managed to secure four perfect photos in just ten minutes.
“Good… I’ll give you all the photos I took, so post them. Title… [Are you seeing this, Dmitry Lighten? Your greatsword is awesome]. Only upload the photos, don’t write anything in the text.”
「Understood.」
Mark One quickly wrote the post and uploaded it to the Awakener Community.
(Photo of holding the greatsword in the right hand and flipping off with the left.)
(Photo of sticking the greatsword into the floor and flipping off with both hands.)
(Photo of gently stroking the greatsword’s blade while flipping off.)
(Photo of flipping off while gripping the greatsword whose blade is glowing with red aura.)
“……”
Posting the photos made me think maybe covering everything with middle fingers was a bit much, but how could I hold back? I had NTR’d the greatsword!
Moreover, they had stolen our proud Korean hunter’s weapon first, so this level of trolling was actually mild.
Or not.
Exactly one minute after posting the article, the reactions I had truly been waiting for finally exploded.
- Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real?
Yes, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real?
- Isn’t this newb the same guy who was praising King Sejong out of nowhere earlier?
Yes, it’s him, but what is this?
- You idiot, I thought you were just a fanboy. You’re actually an S-rank hunter?
- How do you know he’s an S-rank hunter, you idiot.
- He’s an S-rank hunter so he bought an S-rank weapon, you idiot.
- Praise him!! Praise King Sejong!! Praise Long Live Hangeul, the King Sejong who avenged our Taemin hunter!!
Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!! Praise him!!
- The Russian president who must be frantically mobilizing all hunters to send a note to Long Live Hangeul right now is getting a thumbs up lol lol
Yes
Yes
- The Russian hunter broadcast just went into emergency mode lol lol lol lol lol
The president and top military are all out there but the atmosphere is tense
Long Live Hangeul is being treated as a national asset thief lol lol lol
- Hey, but isn’t it state property?
- They just attached the title because they’re angry lol lol lol
- But doesn’t that bone article posted by the commander lady of Long Live Hangeul look similar?
Yeah?
- Well, maybe they’re close. Anyway, the important thing right now is that Dmitry ate a huge and beautiful dick!!
- This is real lol lol lol
After watching the reactions for a while, I turned to the Death Knight who was gently stroking the greatsword beside me and said.
“Mark One… what do you think… It’s so fun. My heart is racing.”
MK-1 tilted his head, unable to understand my excitement.
「You are that happy?」
“Mark One.”
I rested my chin on my hand and muttered.
“Humans are animals of dopamine. Without dopamine you can’t live… Got it?”
「…Hmm, I see. I understand.」
He seemed not to understand at all… but it didn’t matter.
Since the trolling was perfect, I decided to think about how to spend the remaining 300 billion won.
But at that moment, a new post appeared with a notification.
