ATMCP 11

Chapter 11

‘Healer, we’ll keep the Gamja Market chat room open, so feel free to ask us anything sometimes.’

‘But never ask random strangers anything without knowing them. We’ll answer as much as we can.’

‘You were really lucky with this party. Most parties aren’t like this, so be careful and stay alert.’

‘A healer normally gets more rewards than other party members. If someone offers you extra, always take it. Understand?’

Remembering the four party members grabbing my shoulders and repeatedly warning me, my feet kicked away the blanket on their own.

“Ah, reality check.”

But separate from my depressing thoughts, I also thought I was incredibly lucky.

I had met people who were willing to help me during my first dungeon raid.

Maybe a beginner’s luck had worked in the form of meeting good people.

‘Is it because this isn’t a company?’

Thinking about my company immediately ruined my mood.

Then!

I reached my hand out from the bed and took the items out of my bag again.

[Skeleton Bone (D)]

A skeleton bone containing dark magic.

Can be used as a material for curse magic.

[Magic Stone (C)]

A magic stone obtained from an Umbral Bat.

[Magic Stone (D)]

A magic stone obtained from a Shadow Cat.

[Sword Dropped by the Knight (B)]

A sword dropped by a Death Knight.

When fighting undead-type monsters, attack power increases by 100%.

I laid out the items I had obtained and checked them one by one.

Thankfully, the system window provided descriptions of the items.

“But I don’t know how much they’re worth.”

I pressed the website link the party members had sent me.

They had been busy comparing the apps and websites they usually used.

Among them, the website everyone recommended unanimously was called Huncat.

“For your first time, Huncat is probably the best.”

“The mage is right. You need identity verification, but you can remain anonymous when using it. Since it’s a major company, their privacy protection is trustworthy, and you can even do personal auctions like an auction house.”

“You absolutely have to auction the sword. The effect is good, so it’ll sell for a good price.”

“If you sell it directly for cheap, you’re an idiot!!”

“Ah, but auctions have a limit of twenty million won. If it goes over twenty million won, you have to visit the headquarters.”

“You’ll probably have to do a headquarters auction instead.”

“But headquarters auctions have higher fees!”

The mage and the melee dealer sent me information nonstop.

I replied with a grateful frog emoji.

Then I immediately turned on my phone and installed the Huncat app.

When I opened the app, the membership registration page appeared first.

Without hesitation, I pressed the simple registration button.

After entering a short password, countless items appeared as soon as the app started.

Swords, arrows, potions, poisons, and all kinds of other items were listed.

“Whoa……”

The items were all separated into different tabs.

Popular Items.

Latest Items.

Personal Sales.

Personal Auctions.

I looked at the “More” buttons beside each tab.

Naturally, the place I wanted to check was personal sales.

I immediately pressed the More button.

After a short loading screen, the page appeared.

I scrolled down and looked through the items being sold.

The item that appeared most often in personal sales was obviously magic stones.

About one-third of the items on every screen seemed to be magic stones.

“Should I sell the magic stones first?”

I clicked the first magic stone listing I saw.

[Magic Stone (E)]

A magic stone obtained from a Kobold.

Selling cheaply.

Price is per piece.

Quantity: 5

Price: 3,000,000 won

And my mouth fell open.

“Wait, three million won is considered cheap?!”

I couldn’t tell whether I was shocked or amazed by hunters’ sense of money.

I pressed back to check the prices of other magic stones.

Most of the magic stones in personal sales were F or E rank.

However, there were occasionally D and C rank magic stones, and their prices were far beyond what I imagined.

“Wow.”

D-rank magic stones stayed around five million won.

C-rank magic stones were worth over ten million won.

The most surprising thing was that every single one of those expensive magic stones had already been marked as sold.

Meaning…

I currently had a total of twenty million won in my hands.

I brought a towel, spread it on the floor, and carefully moved the precious magic stones onto it.

I really wanted to sell them immediately, but I held myself back.

I still hadn’t checked the sword.

‘B-rank. The sword of a Dullahan.’

Its name was Sword Dropped by the Knight.

But why did it say “dropped”?

Was it called that because the Dullahan dropped it?

If that was the case, I would give whoever named it an F score.

In my mind.

“Well, if the name doesn’t cause problems when selling it, it doesn’t really matter.”

Anyway, I needed to estimate the sword’s value.

I pressed back and entered the personal auction section.

This time, items that were currently in auction appeared.

I clicked one of them.

Pictures and explanations of the auction item appeared.

But instead of a purchase button, there was a timer.

15:43:41

Auction starting price: 100,000 won.

“Huh?”

Why were auctions so cheap?

Confused, I went back.

But even when I checked other items, the results were similar.

50,000 won.

10,000 won.

There were even items with a starting price of 10 won.

But that didn’t mean the items were low quality.

There were C and D-rank items, and occasionally even B-rank items.

“Is it because auctions just let people choose random starting prices…?”

That was the only possible explanation.

I pressed the “Only show items currently being auctioned” button at the top right.

The items on the screen immediately changed.

First, I decided to check a sword.

A C-rank sword.

Its name was Sword That Did Not Melt in Lava.

“The system really just names things randomly…”

But despite its strange name, the option attached to the sword was pretty good.

[Blocks fire-type debuffs.

Cannot be damaged by fire-type attacks.]

It had no other abilities.

The effect was strangely specific, but if it prevented burns from fire attacks, it wasn’t bad.

Apparently, many others thought the same because the current bid was extremely high.

‘Current price: 14,470,000 won?!’

The number was so unrealistic that I counted the digits several times.

Why was I even checking the current price when I wasn’t buying it?

Modern people have to block unnecessary information.

Knowing everything would be exhausting.

Besides, wasn’t I already working two jobs?

I quietly looked away.

My interest wasn’t the current price.

It was the auction starting price.

I kept scrolling until I finally found it.

“Starting price: 10 won.”

So people really just wrote whatever they wanted.

The system randomly named items, and people randomly chose auction prices.

I clicked my tongue and decided my sword’s auction starting price would be 5,959 won.

‘Oguogu, because it’s cute!’

Signing up was easy, but selling items required additional verification.

I also agreed to extra terms and conditions.

Of course, I didn’t read them.

I registered my bank account and completed verification.

Everything was ready.

Now it was time to sell.

I listed the skeleton bones and magic stones at an average price similar to others’ listings.

The sword was registered as an auction item.

There was no reason to delay, so I set the auction time as close as possible.

Just like my original plan, I entered the starting price.

Immediately, a notification appeared saying the auction had been posted.

Now all that remained was waiting.

Since it was already late at night, I decided to check the sales tomorrow.

I pulled the blanket up to my neck and closed my eyes.

After walking around the dungeon all day and being tense for so long, sleep came instantly.

I fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, while its owner slept, the phone quietly blinked.

[Huncat]

The current auction price has exceeded 20,000,000 won.

The auction for ‘Sword Dropped by the Knight’ has been temporarily suspended.

Please visit headquarters to request the sale of this item.
