I Became the Younger Sister of the Game's Villain - Chapter 1.3
Lee Moa’s 16th birthday is about 8 months away.
Following the standard route even a little could increase the possibility of extending her life.
Anyway, the fact that Lee Moa has a dedicated skill means that it is the skill she can use most effectively.
It should be easy to rank it up.
So, it means we need to break through this blocked skill first….
To move, you need money.
If you need money?
“Inventory.”
I shouted with great anticipation.
Lee Moa is the younger sister of the top-ranked sister in South Korea, so there might be unimaginable items.
Maybe an astronomical amount in the bank account or rare gems and equipment that I couldn’t even dream of in Akka, maybe some rare masonry or equipment…
The hologram window divided into squares opened. And surprisingly,
‘There is nothing.’
I angrily pounded the armrest of the sofa.
Zero.
Lee Moa’s status was really zero.
No, it was more like around -3.
The only thing left was about 10,000 won that might have been used as pocket money.
It might be worth buying about 10 small potions, but the money was almost useless now.
Maybe 50,000 won?
Roughly, it might be enough to buy a disposable weapon to carry around.
“Shop.”
Still, I should take a look.
It’s not like I’m paying money for a little kid’s shopping.
Unlike the simple hologram windows, dazzling banners adorned with capital flashed.
Phrases like HOT and limited edition swirled around, capturing attention.
‘Not much has changed from Akka.’
The store sold consumables or reasonably priced equipment that could be purchased with money.
Of course, the performance was different from directly obtaining items from a portal, but it was not bad enough for occasional use in emergencies.
But for Lee Moa now, there was no reason to buy anything, and even if she bought something, it would be useless.
Swiftly, I slid down the slide.
Suddenly, a new word caught my eye.
‘My own store?’
This was definitely not there before.
Touching the window with a hidden excitement, unfamiliar items floated up.
【’Lee Moa’s Memories’ #1 ~ #80 / 1,000 Diamonds each】
【(Limited) Novice Start Pack! – Remaining quantity: 1 / 100,000 Diamonds】
【Buff Package – Remaining quantity: 5 / 10,000 Diamonds】
【Awakening Package – Remaining quantity: 3 / 30,000 Diamonds】
“Diamonds?”
Huh.
A short sigh escaped.
They really seem to be deeply ingrained in this capitalism.
The basic reward unit in <Akka> was the Korean won (￦).
It was natural since the game was originally set in Korea.
Diamonds played a role similar to cash in any game, promoting beginners who couldn’t control their wallets to wallet warriors.
From equipment and buffs to even awakening stones or magic stones with low drop rates.
The range of purchasable items was excellent, showcasing, ‘What can’t be done with capital?’
So, giving diamonds as a mission reward was unheard of.
‘It was a million diamonds.’
Once again, I furrowed my brows as I checked the mission window.
If it were a million diamonds, it would be enough money to sweep up all the items here and still have some left.
Considering that 10 diamonds could be charged with a thousand won in real money*, if the mission reward was a million diamonds…
“100 million?”
Insane.
Along with a crazed exclamation, despair rushed in rather than joy.
A quest worth 100 million.
“It’s like telling me to just die…”
Akka’s mission rewards were differentially provided based on the level of danger.
Even if I received missions of the highest rank so far, it was rare for the reward to exceed 100,000 won.
So, even though it was only in words, there was no change in the fact that the reward held the meaning of ‘Welcome to Hellgate difficulty.’
“Can’t I really do something like spending money? Or is it only obtainable through missions?”
I looked through the window, but I didn’t see the diamond charging station that was originally there.
I was prepared to break into my savings or something.
With a lingering discomfort, I moved on to the next.
I carefully examined each item one by one.
Even if growth or awakening packages were expected items, ‘Lee Moa’s Memories.’
“It’s surely necessary.”
I already knew the basic information, but it was an item that I might need during the future story progression.
Perhaps I could get a hint about the Lee Moa murder suspect.
In my mind, the goals were modified one after another.
- Go unlock the skill.
- Find a way to get diamonds.
“Let’s go out for now.”
Since the tasks were set, I needed to move for now.
I tied my unruly hair into a tight ponytail.
Even though I was completely broke, I constantly brainstormed solutions.
How much was the subway fare? Maybe the bus was cheaper. If not, then maybe I could ride for free.
With a roughly drawn plan, I opened the heavy iron door.
Thud.
There was a somewhat creaking sound of something moving.
“Miss, where are you going?”
It was a familiar face.
The man who asked had eyes partially closed, as if he was dozing off.
Gu Seo Bok.
He was one of the NPCs I would always encounter when I went to the guild <Hwarang>.
[TN: 1000 KRW = $0.75… You do the math, I’m sorry I’m bad at math :’)]
