Level 1 Player

President Ji-yong Lee eventually granted Hyunseong's request.

He received 1 trillion won and decided to put a dog collar on the next government.

‘That would be poison.’

An information organization centered on the Guardian Protestants of mankind under Hyunseong started its activities.

Hyunseong handed the intelligence agents a skill book of stealth skills, space movement skills, and psychometry skills, which will be important for intelligence, along with leaps and bounds.

What if an espionage organization with the same abilities as the player deliberately robs them?

‘The degree of government corruption is over in an instant.’

What if we can't bring politicians under our control and turn them into faithful workers?

Just like in Japan, all you have to do is change the water.

‘Write like water.’

The moment when politicians put their hands on the blind money of 1 trillion won that Hyunseong lent?

They had no choice but to fall right into the abyss.

‘People’s opinion is also good.’

The people felt a great catharsis when Hyunseong punished the owners of Hansung Group and TS Group.

Even after committing all kinds of abuse and crimes, it ended in blunt punishment.

The family of owners of large corporations was above the law.

But they were given the mace of justice.

The people knew that the reason was because of Hyunseong.

Some voiced the need to be wary of Hyunseong's overly strong status and power.

However, the people did not pay much attention to their stories.

Rather, they accuse them of being a nerd of large corporations.

There was nothing bad about Hyunseong.

‘The packaging is beautiful.’

Hyunseong received the land in Kaesong free of charge from the government.

However, the people thought that they had received it for a fee.

This is because Hyunseong lent a whopping 1 trillion dollars to the state.

Borrowing and giving are two different things.

But often people make the mistake of equating the two.

That is why negative bankbooks are scary.

The money in the negative account is money borrowed from others and must be repaid.

However, there were many people who mistakenly thought that it was empty money.

And it was the same this time.

'Well, actually, given that the interest was reduced, it wasn't completely free. I have no intention of taking it back anyway.’

There was no problem even if the people thought that the government gave Hyunseong $1 trillion to sell the land in Kaesong.

But for politicians, the situation is different.

'I'll turn it all over.'

Putting Korea in his grip, Hyunseong will seize the real power in Northeast Asia.

Korea, China and Japan.

He becomes the de facto ruler of three countries called Korea, China and Japan.

‘Russia, Southeast Asia, Europe, Middle East, America, Africa.’

There was no need for Hyunseong directly to be the actual ruler.

But he needed to wield no less influence.

The United Nations organization to be founded this time will be the starting point.

‘Let’s take it slow to get the assortment together.’

It will take a considerable amount of time for the headquarters of the United Nations organization to be built in Kaesong.

However, the money received in advance from the countries that would join the United Nations organization was slowly being deposited.

‘Now I have to sweep the skill book.’

The time has come to upgrade the players under his command.

‘Let’s get started right away.’

Hyunseong ordered the purchase of skillbooks around the world through the Immortal Guild.The Immortal Guild has numerous branches all over the world.

As such, I was able to purchase skillbooks from all over the world.

Hyunseong thought that he could easily secure a large number of skill books and make the players who came under his control stronger.

But the plan ran into difficulties from the start.

“Is this all?”

Hyunseong asked the guild leader Kang Seon-young with a puzzled expression.

“Yeah, that was a very positive judgement.”

Kang Seon-young's guild leader's calm reply was not surprising to Hyunseong.

When Hyunseong ordered the purchase of the skill book, guild leader Kang Seon-young came up with a report.

Amount invested in the report.

The grade and quantity of skill books that can be purchased were written down.

The amount of money to invest in the skillbook was huge.

It was natural.

Because Hyunseong ordered it that way.

The problem is that there are not many skill books that can be purchased with such a huge amount of investment.

In particular, in the case of hero-grade skill books, the price went up like crazy.

‘It would be advantageous to buy this from the system store.’

Previously, the price of the skill book sold in the system shop and the price of the skill book sold on earth were roughly the same.

Sometimes there was a difference, but considering the 20% fee, it was almost non-existent.

But now it is quite different.

The price of the Earth's Skill Book has risen tremendously.

“Why did the skill book price go up so much?”

Hyunseong asked with a questioning expression.

“The primary reason is because of Advisory Chairman Choi Hyunseong.”

“Am I the cause? Could it be because of the skill book I received before?”

However, since then, so much time has passed that the price of the skillbook has more than stabilized.

“That was the starting point. The problem is that governments around the world have competed in the purchase of skillbooks after Chairman Hyunseong Choi bought a lot of skillbooks.”

“I know that, but that was quite a while ago, right? How many skillbooks are produced per day around the world, but can’t you cover them?”

After Hyunseong wanted a skill book, he started to stock up on it, mainly in powerful countries such as the United States and Russia.

But it was clear that they had already reached their goal long ago.

“That’s why the price of the skillbook has risen so much in a short period of time. So the skill book speculation craze blew.”

“Are you passionate about speculation?”

Hyunseong's expression was colored with absurdity.

“For a simple example, the price of a general grade skill called a solid body was originally about 20 million won in won. But now there are over 100 million.”

“Has it risen fivefold?”

“Yeah, that’s the general case, and in extreme cases it has gone up 20 or 30 times or more.”

“Does that make sense?”

"It's possible. Players as well as the general public know that having a skillbook makes money.”

If you have it, it's money.

In the past, those who spent 20 million won to purchase a solid body skill book were wealthy people who thought about their health.

However, these days, the general public has also been enthusiastic about purchasing skill books.

It's not for learning.

The price is sure to go up, so they have it and sell it back to get the difference.

When monsters are rampant, players look for more skillbooks to become stronger.

The demand for skill books is going up.

Due to the Second Cataclysm and the advent of the underwater dimension gate, the price of the skillbook has risen.

That has turned into a speculative craze.

But this was a pretty stupid choice.

The skill book is one of the keys to strengthening the players, the shields of mankind.

To use the skillbook as a speculative object for immediate profit was like a way for mankind to roll into self-destruction.

“Since the speculation craze broke out, the price of skill books has been going up without knowing the end. It’s like the tulip frenzy and the Bitcoin craze that happened in the past.”"under!"

Hyunseong put on a disappointed expression.

Still, I fully understood the situation.

When you put your savings in a bank, you earn 2-3% interest.

Investing in stocks?

You are more likely to lose money than you are to make money from gossip.

real estate?

After the Second Cataclysm, additional dimensional gates begin to open, and they are experiencing a huge decline.

There is no stable investment.

Meanwhile, skillbook prices around the world started to rise like crazy.

Investment experts, who were aiming for profit, started to buy a large amount of skill books.

It was followed by the general public.

Even at 10 o'clock, a company that collects money from investors and purchases skill books has been created.

In the case of the general public, he even created a group to buy skill books.

Hundreds, tens of thousands, or tens of thousands of people save money to purchase skill books worth billions, tens of billions, or billions of units.

Ordinary people cannot invest tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, the situation is different if it is possible to start from 10,000 won and invest from 100,000 won or 1 million won.

The result was this.

“The amount of skillbooks sleeping in the warehouse must be enormous.”

The skill book is in kind.

Whether an individual makes a purchase or invests money to purchase a purchase, there must be some in-kind.

The skill book that players obtain by hunting monsters is consumed by the player learning the skill book.

If a duplicate skill book appears in the middle or a skill book of a series you do not want appears, you can sell it and purchase the skill book you want.

But the window was clogged.

Skillbooks are only sold out, but not for sale.

“This is a serious problem.”

Skillbooks are the fastest way for players to become stronger as they level up.

But what if those skillbooks are piled up in the warehouse?

Player growth is inevitably slowed down.

“It is very serious. Even as guilds and parties hunt, trades are being made for future skill books.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t there a case where a guild or party enters into an exclusive contract to sell skill books or magic stones?”

“It is.”

Most guilds or parties had such exclusive contracts with companies.

Hyunseong's friend, Yun Seong-ho, was also working there.

“The exclusive contract itself has become a target for sale. In the case of a well-known guild or party, one exclusive contract can be traded for tens of billions of dollars.”

"under!"

It wasn't weird.

Investing in a skill book that hasn't even been released yet?

What do you mean this is crazy?

But humans have often done crazy things like this in the past as well.

At the time of the tulip frenzy, people bought and sold the right to a root that the tulip bulb would give birth to with one bulb of a tulip, and the right to a root that the root of the bulb would give birth to.

It was literally crazy.

However, in addition to the tulip frenzy, mankind has done a lot of crazy things, such as the South Sea Company stock, the Mississippi bubble, the British rail bubble, the American Great Depression, the Japanese real estate bubble, the IT bubble, and the Bitcoin bubble.

As such, it was not unusual for the skill book frenzy to blew.

An increase in price due to an increase in demand.

Buying by investors for profit.

purchases by the general public.

This typical speculative frenzy logic was simply applied to the skill book as well.

“I have to stop it.”

Hyunseong said growling.The skill book is an essential weapon for human survival.

But is this weapon subject to speculation?

This must be stopped by any means possible.

“Yes, it should be. So, I would like you to withdraw this order to purchase the skillbook. If Advisory Chairman Choi Hyunseong uses his money to buy the skill book, the skill book frenzy will only get worse.”

"all right. Then we will cancel the plan to purchase the skill book.”

“Thank you for accepting my will.”

“And I think we need to calm the speculative mentality.”

At Hyunseong's words, guild leader Kang Seon-young opened his mouth with a sad expression.

“It seems impossible at the moment. First of all, the real thing exists, and the price of the skill book has risen even more due to the Mid-housing incident. I don’t think it will be that easy to calm down.”

In order to prevent the current skill book frenzy, it is necessary to release a sufficient amount of skill books to lightly crush the frenzy on the market.

If the quantity is greater than the demand, the price will naturally fall.

That is the natural truth.

However, there was no way that skillbooks could be released in large numbers in a situation where even an exclusive contract for selling skillbooks was being traded.

“It will probably take some time for this storm to subside.”

The skill book is in steady production.

Of course, as time goes by, enough skill books will be released on the market to meet the demand.

“No, I think it will be difficult to wait until then.”

“Then what are you planning to do?”

Guild leader Kang Seon-young asked with a puzzled expression.

Hyunseong had a plan to purchase skillbooks in bulk until recently.

How can such a Hyunseong calm the skillbook frenzy?

“I have some leftovers of the skillbooks I received in the US. There are also some that I personally hunted and collected. I have to solve this.”

Of course it was bullshit.

The skillbook needed for Hyunseong has already been mastered.

Duplicate or leftover?

I sold them all to the system store.

“Could that be enough to calm the skillbook frenzy?”

“It will be possible. No, we will make it possible.”

At Hyunseong's strong will, guild leader Kang Seon-young finally nodded her head.

“Please prepare to release a large number of skill books all over the world at the same time.”

"all right."

Guildmaster Kang Seon-young, who had been instructed by Hyunseong, withdrew.

A huge amount of skillbooks are needed to cover the whole world.

‘Isn’t what I have now not enough?’

He swept the dimension of Partisha and obtained a huge number of skill books.

But that wasn't enough.

The scale of the Earth's Skill Book economy is so huge that it's hard to even compare it to Partisha's dimension.

'I need to loosen some points.'

But it didn't seem like it would hurt.

It is not the Earth Earth System Store that has skyrocketed the skill book price.

What if Hyunseong buys a skillbook at the system store?

Hyunseong is buying a skill book that is sold at a high price on earth at the price before the surge.

If you buy low and sell high, you will inevitably make a huge profit.

What if the skillbook bubble bursts after that?

With that money, you can slowly buy the skillbook and resell it back to the system store to recover the points.

‘Well, don’t you think there is a need to resell it?’

Points are constantly accumulating.

‘Let’s take a look at the situation then and decide.’

First of all, the priority was to put this crazy skillbook madness to rest.

* * *

Hyunseong opened a system shop.

Common, Rare, Epic.

Hyunseong intensively purchased three types of skillbooks.

Wrath!

Tuk!

Wrath!

Tuk!

Skillbooks piled up at Hyunseong's feet.

'The hero's rating went down quickly.'

Even in the system store, there were not many items above the hero level.

But what about common and rare?

There were too many to overflow.

Hyunseong continued to purchase.

It's like buying the regular and rare skillbooks in the system shop.

The stacked skill books were divided by grade and type and put into a subspace.

‘A lot is a lot.’

I bought it like crazy.

Later, almost inertia, I pressed the purchase button one after another from top to bottom.

'This should be enough.'

What if it's not enough?

Stop doing this again.

Hyunseong visited the guild leader Kang Seon-young.

And he handed over the skill book.

Guild leader Kang Seon-young opened his mouth wide when he saw the skill books piled up like a mountain.

“Hey, where did you get all these skillbooks?”

Guild leader Kang Seon-young asked while stuttering.

“Of course, I collected it by hunting hard.”

Hyunseong answered briefly.

“Well, first of all, we will look around like that.”

Kang Seon-young did not believe what Hyunseong said, the guild leader.

This is because the number of skill books was too large to be said that it was collected by an individual.

“Please release it in the global market at the same time.”

At Hyunseong's words, guild leader Kang Seon-young's face brightened.

“Many players will appreciate your intention to think of the market as a whole rather than for personal gain.”

At the words of guild leader Kang Seon-young, Hyunseong put on a puzzled expression.

‘You must be embarrassed.’

Guild leader Kang Seon-young thought so and moved on.

However, Hyunseong had a different idea.

‘It’s a lot of personal gain.’

Because of the market price difference with the system store, Hyunseong had no choice but to make a profit of at least five times, and at most, several dozen times once it was sold.

Even if the market price plummeted, Hyunseong had nothing to lose.

Then, if you buy it again and sell it to the system store, you can get a profit from the market price again.

From Hyunseong's point of view, it was a gain in this and that way.

‘Still, I should give you a warning.’

Hyunseong posted an article on the website of the Guardian Protestant Church of Humanity.

The content of your post was simple.

Don't invest in skill books.

The surge in skill book prices is nothing more than a bubble.

Shake your hands and come out now.

It was the same as what many experts had shouted.

But it was a little different.

-Until the price normalizes, we will release an unlimited amount of skillbooks to the global market.

Hyunseong's words were no different than a declaration that he would stabilize the entire skillbook market by himself.If Hyunseong's words were followed, the price of the skillbook had no choice but to fall.

But those words could not be heard by money-mad people.

- You're bullshit.

- That's right. Even Choi Hyunseong player cannot unlock the skill book until the price normalizes.

Most investors and the general public dismissed Hyunseong's remarks as crazy human nonsense.

‘I’ve done enough.’

He even warned that he would release the skillbook in advance.

As Hyunseong, he did the best he could.

Not long after, the skill books that Hyunseong handed over to Kang Seon-young, guild leader, spread all over the world.

And it was released simultaneously.

I liked it at first.

-Skillbook stock has been released!

- Did you get it from the Immortal Guild? can i buy this

- Choi Hyunseong Do you believe the player? Buy whatever you want!

-right! If you just buy it, it's definitely a gain!

Regardless of whether it was an individual or a group, I pressed the buy button unconditionally.

But there is a problem.

Even if the quantity of skill books was large, there were too many.

- I ran out of money.

- When will the stock be released?

-Isn't this, as Choi Hyunseong said, it's going downhill?

There was a problem with the financial power of those who bought it.

Buyers' anxiety has increased.

- Stay unconditionally. Then it is an absolute advantage.

-right. As long as there are players, the skillbook price will inevitably rise steadily.

- What kind of bullshit is that? Players are producers and consumers. As time goes by, the number of players increases and the number of skill books inevitably increases.

-The skill book can be learned by the general public. There is more demand than supply. The skill book price goes up even more.

- You're funny. It's already over. Do you think the skillbook price is normal now? The skill book price has gone up too much. This is a sign of a crash. Sell it.

- Player Choi Hyunseong released the quantity and the price only temporarily dropped. should not be shaken

-right. All we have to do is eat what Choi Hyunseong is doing.

- Choi Hyunseong There is a limit to the amount a player can solve. If we hold on until then, we win.

Buyers split in two.

You must have a quantity of skillbooks.

have to sell

In the meantime, the skill books that Hyunseong unlocked continued to pour into the market.

The skill book price, which had gone up without knowing the end, began to drop gradually.

Some of the buyers, who were at a loss, could not overcome their anxiety and released their stock.

It was because of the fear that the price of the skillbook might plummet.

That was the beginning.

When the buyers released the stock they had, the price of the skillbook fell faster.

As some buyers rushed in, the skillbook price began to plummet.

Hyunseong thought the problem would be resolved at this point.

but it wasn't

When the skillbook price plummeted, a force suddenly appeared to buy it at random.

The skill book price, which had plummeted, has slowed down.

Then it started going up again.

Hyunseong made a lot of money by releasing a large volume this time.

But he wasn't in a good mood.

“What the hell happened?”

Hyunseong asked Guild Leader Kang Seon-young with a questioning expression.

“It seems that there is an operational force that intentionally raises the price of the skillbook.”“Ugh.”

Hyunseong frowned.

because I don't quite understand

‘It was not a quantity that an operational force of any size could receive.’

took it

There was another question.

‘Why the hell did you receive the order?’

Skillbook prices are still going up.

Of course, overall, it was lower than when it was at its peak.

But he slowly climbed up and showed signs of a comeback.

‘Are they going to peak again and then they try to crash it?’

Otherwise, there was no reason at all.

‘It would have been better if we just played together.’

The skill book price had risen to the point that it was crazy.

Objectively, it was best to just slowly release the skill book they had and reduce the damage.

The current skill book price is a bubble.

It could never be maintained as it is unless someone continues to receive and control the quantity.

‘There may be other purposes.’

The skill book is not just a physical item, but a strategic weapon that can strengthen the player.

‘I don’t know what the purpose is, but I will definitely destroy it.’

Hyunseong stood up.

“Please prepare to spray the skillbook again.”

“S, do you have any more skill books?”

Hyunseong nodded at the question of guild leader Kang Seon-young.

“I said that I would release it until the price of the skillbook stabilizes. To be honest, I thought that the initial amount would be enough, so I loosened it up moderately, but it seems that it wasn’t enough.”

“Then how much do you plan to solve this time?”

“I’m thinking about five times the amount we solved this time. That would be hard for them to handle.”

At Hyunseong's words, Guildmaster Kang Seon-young opened his mouth wide.

‘Let’s stick together properly.’

Hyunseong clenched his teeth.

Even if the unit of points was reduced to billions of levels, I was thinking of crushing those who play with the skillbook.

* * *

“Whew! I think the situation has been resolved now.”

The white-haired old man who looked to be in his 70s sighed and said.

“I mean. Because of Choi Hyunseong player, it was almost in trouble.”

Another old man agreed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

“I thought I was bluffing, but I didn’t know that I could have such a large amount by myself.”

“But in the end we won.”

“No, not yet. You've only secured 40% of the total volume now, right? This is not enough.”

“That’s right. You have to hold 80% of the market to completely dominate the market.”

“Then when are you going to start the operation?”

It was too burdensome for the elderly to purchase the skillbook at the current price.

In order to secure 80% of the total volume, the skillbook price had to plummet once properly.

“We watch the situation for about a month and slowly release the stock before it crashes. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to buy an exclusive contract to the point of becoming a piece of tissue paper?"

“Then let’s do that.”

80% of the skillbooks that currently exist.

The monopoly of the skillbook exclusive contract with players.

These two were their goals.

“Make money, put shackles on those cheeky players, and it’s a gem, hahaha!”

“However!”

The elderly smiled and waited for the golden future to come.The skill book was just the beginning.

If they dominate the skillbook market, they plan to dominate the item market one by one, such as weapons, armor, accessories, and potions.

That was then.

rumble!

The door opened and an employee who had been watching the skillbook market trend ran in.

“It’s a big deal!”

The old people frowned at the employee's cry.

“What’s going on?”

“Players Choi Hyunseong have released their skillbooks to the market again! We have a lot more stock than we've unlocked before!”

The old people's faces turned white after hearing the staff's words.

It was like lightning in the dry sky.

The old people thought that the skillbook that Choi Hyunseong had had run out.

This is because there were so many items that were released a while ago.

The old people collected all their money without money to completely eat the board and bought the skillbook that Choi Hyunseong unlocked.

In fact, he spent all his fortune.

But he didn't worry about the future.

I thought that if I manipulated the skill book price after conquering the market, I would be able to recover my investment quickly.

No, I believed that it was possible to earn several times the investment.

However, Choi Hyunseong, who thought he would not be able to afford it, released an additional skill book.

His mind went blank.

What if you can't dominate the market?

What if I do not see a profit through price manipulation?

They had no choice but to go bankrupt.

* * *

Hyunseong released a large number of skill books again.

Skillbook prices, which were on the rise, began to plummet.

The fall in the price of the skill book was more extreme than before.

This is because Hyunseong had a lot of money.

Skillbook prices plummeted repeatedly.

- This is only for a moment! Hold on! Absolutely cherish it!

- What kind of bullshit? It's out of bubble! You must sell it now!

Those who invested money in the skillbook split into two and growled.

But with it or not, the price of the skillbook began to drop.

On the first day Hyunseong unlocked the skill book, the price fell more than 10%.

The next day and the next day were a series of collapses.

The skill book price, which had skyrocketed by as little as five times as much as 30 times, hit the bottom in an instant.

- This is the real end!

- The bubble is gone! Really messed up!

-Then you will listen to Choi Hyunseong player!

-How the hell did Choi Hyunseong have a skill book?

-I thought that Choi Hyunseong's post about releasing the skill book until the price normalizes was bluff. But it was real.

-I sold everything when Choi Hyunseong posted it. At that time, I was good at listening to Choi Hyunseong. I sucked honey completely.

-Isn't this written by Choi Hyunseong? The reason the price is plummeting right now is that the Immortal Guild released the skill book, right?

- Choi Hyunseong Are you openly saying that if a player writes a board, he will release the skill book and cause the market to crash? You just quietly release the skill book and make money.

- That's right. Choi Hyunseong If the player wanted to make money, he would never do that. Without saying anything, I would have slowly released the amount and sucked the honey properly.

-right. This is a huge loss for us by Choi Hyunseong.

- That's bullshit! Absolutely cherish it! Skillbook price rises again! The peak has not yet come!

The internet was in turmoil.

People who sell skill books, people who have them without selling them.

People made choices based on their beliefs.

But in the first place, the price was made of bubbles.

When Hyunseong released a large-scale amount of skill books, the bubble had no choice but to burst.
