101. Surprise potion box
After meeting Min-ri Min.
What Ryumin did outside was kill a mealworm.
Squash- Squash-!
[Current kill count: 100/100]
[All stats increase by 100% due to the Rune of Massacre effect.]
Ryumin’s gaze moved to one side of the message.
[All stats increase by 60% due to the effect of Skill Bless.]
[Duration: 02:51:21]
This time, again, I received a buff from Min-ri Min.
‘it’s okay. The preparations are over.’
An item was taken out from the inventory.
[Surprise potion box]

-Grade: Unique

-Restrictions on use: Until the next round, regular grade or higher
-Description: A limited-time item that allows you to obtain a random potion. If you move on to the next round, the item will automatically disappear. Affected by luck stat.
This time, it was a lottery box received as a reward for first place in the area.
The reason I raised my stats was all for now.
‘If you increase your luck as much as possible, you will receive a lot of potions.’
They may come in different types, or they may overlap.
In any case, it is beneficial to get a lot, so you have no choice but to increase your luck.
‘use.’
When I held the box in my hand and memorized the command, it disappeared and a message appeared.
[You used a surprise potion box.]
[congratulations! The Potion of Life has arrived!]
[congratulations! Healing potion has arrived!]
[congratulations! The dark magic potion has arrived!]
[congratulations! The lowest level agility potion has arrived!]

‘Hoo.’
Luckily, different potions came out for each person.
That’s five.

Ryumin’s eyes widened as he looked at the list.
In particular, his gaze was focused on the first Potion of Life.
‘There’s a potion that revives the opponent… … It is indeed a legendary level potion.’
Of course, the rest of the potions are good too.
However, it is nothing compared to the Potion of Life.
‘However, this potion can only be used if you are of Master rank. Besides, it can only be used on others.’
This means that the caster must be level 60 to resurrect others.
‘Anyway, it’s worth it just because it’s legendary.’
I don’t know if I’ll ever use it, but it was a potion that would give me great treats just by having it.
‘Maybe it could be good to appease the alchemist.’
There is an alchemist in Nigeria, the only class that can create potions.
Having him as an ally would definitely help.
‘They are still reluctant to come forward, but later, as the existence of alchemists becomes known, it creates a huge sensation.’
If you make the first move, you may be able to monopolize the alchemist’s abilities.
‘But I see one of the potions that is useless.’
It was none other than a black magic potion.
‘This is a potion for Ma Gyeong-rok?’
The only class that uses dark magic is the Dark Knight.
In other words, it is a potion exclusively for Magyeongrok.
Even if a normal player eats it, there will be no effect.
The same goes for Ryu Min.
‘Shall I sell it to Ma Gyeong-rok for a high price?’
When the dark knight’s black magic is depleted, his power drops significantly.
‘You can think of it like a car that runs out of gas.’
In that respect, it was clear that it was something that Ma Gyeong-rok would covet.
If you run out of dark magic in a critical situation, there’s nothing worse than that.
‘Let’s keep it for now. ‘What I need is not money.’
I decided to keep the rest as well.
Because I wasn’t in a situation where money was tight enough to put it on the market and sell it.
Beep-clack-
Ryu Min returned home and changed his clothes in his room.
I lay down on the bed in comfortable clothes and picked up my phone.
‘Would you like to check if a unique material item has been uploaded?’
Whenever he had time, Ryu Min would often access the Play app and look at items.
It was to secure the necessary material items first, but one item that was salvageable came up each day.
‘Oh, it’s there again this time? ‘Unique material item.’
However, because the seller was a foreigner, the product was shipped overseas.
‘Well, no problem. We have made all preparations so that overseas users can easily transact.’
From the beginning, PlayPlay was a social market targeting players from all over the world.
As the service was opened for use overseas, the number of users increased rapidly.
Ryumin pressed the payment button and put his cell phone aside.
‘I did something today too.’
After searching, this is the only material item worth purchasing.
I added Joo Seong-tak as a favorite seller, but I haven’t posted anything since Legendary ingredients.
‘Well, the 7th round wasn’t a hunting round.’
I guess I’ll have to look forward to the rounds after that.
Ryumin, who was tired, slowly closed his eyes.
* * *
Player Place holds regular meetings every Tuesday.
Ryu Min, who holds top management authority, also attends this day without fail.
‘In order to build a bond with Ma Gyeong-rok, it would be better to at least put a stamp on him.’
I have something to talk about today.
Ryu Min looked at Ma Gyeong-rok, who was holding a meeting with the directors.
The meeting ended after many opinions were exchanged.
“Thank you for your hard work. This is the end of today’s meeting.”
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
The executives got up and left.
Only Ma Gyeong-rok and Ryu Min remained in the conference room.
Now was the right time to have a quiet conversation.
“Major shareholder. You attend the meeting every week.”
“Can I, who has management rights, be left out?”
“It’s enough for you to come only when you need to make a decision, but why…”
“I have something to say to CEO Ma today.”
“Oh, I have something to say too, but can I say it first?”
Ma Gyeong-rok bowed his head as he nodded and gave permission.
“Major, no, Prophet. Thanks to you, I was able to get through the 7th round safely. Thank you very much.”
“Luckily, I guess you remembered what I said about not being fooled by temptation.”
“Yes. When the temptation came, the Prophet’s words flashed in my mind. If it weren’t for the Prophet, I would have given in to the temptation, haha. I’m embarrassed to say what kind of fantasy it was.”
I hid it because I was embarrassed, but Ryu Min read my inner thoughts and already knew.
What temptations did he experience?
‘I can’t believe I’m in a situation where I have to not kill the criminal who killed my parents even when I see it right in front of me.’
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was obsessed with revenge, would have wanted to kill him, but he held back well.
“By the way, Prophet. I have a question.”
Ma Gyeong-rok raised a question he had a few days ago.
“If you knew the strategy, why weren’t you ranked? It wasn’t even a hard round.”
If I knew the strategy, I could have ranked first, but I was wondering why I couldn’t do that.
It was a sharp question… … .
‘I knew you would ask this.’
Ryumin had already thought of an answer.
“But CEO Ma, didn’t you know the strategy? Then why didn’t you come in first place?”
“Yeah…….”
Ma Gyeong-rok suddenly looked like he had been stabbed in the back.
“Even if you know that you shouldn’t be tempted by temptation, it’s difficult to put it into practice when it comes to temptation. You’ve experienced it yourself, so you know it well, right?”
“Yes, yes, I know. I understand.”
Ma Gyeong-rok immediately erased his doubts.
Rather, he reprimanded himself for being short in his thoughts.
-He is definitely not someone to be taken lightly just because he is young. He has subtle insight and skill.
I could hear Ma Gyeong-rok’s thoughts of being wary of himself.
I knew that he would not be taken lightly as he had proven his ability not only in prophecy but also in management.
But has he revealed his skills too much?
‘It’s not a good idea to make them wary.’
It was not a very pleasant situation for Ryumin, who had to make him open his mind.
“Prophet. You said you had something to say to me, right?”
“Yes. I would like to tell you about the 8th round information.”
Ryu Min provided information on the next round as intended.
“Oh, there’s really a lot of specific information this time.”
“That’s eight rounds.”
“Thank you, Prophet. You always help me like this. I don’t know what I can do for you….”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Wouldn’t it be good if we can coexist as people in the same boat?”
“Haha, thank you so much.”
Despite not feeling burdened, Ryu Min wanted to continue accumulating debt in his heart.
“Hey, Prophet. While I’m helping you, may I ask your permission to do one thing?”
“What kind of permission?”
“Do you remember my fiancé from last time I saw you?”
“of course.”
“Do you mind if I share this information with my fiancé?”
‘I guess they’ve already taken the information?’
I laughed inside, but spoke without showing it.
“Of course it’s okay. Didn’t I make a prediction back then? That it would become dangerous in the 11th round. You can think of it as having already allowed sharing at that time.”
“Oh, thank you for allowing me.”
It seems like the number of people sharing future information is increasing, but that’s okay.
‘If I have to lead everyone anyway, it would be better to make them rely on me through prophecy.’
At that time, Ryu Min, who showed a grinning and benevolent smile, was about to talk about business.
“CEO?”
Ahn Sang-cheol came into the conference room.
There was some impatience on his face.
Ma Gyeong-rok, who did not miss the sight, asked seriously.
“Chief Ahn. What’s going on?”
“Shoes, the chairman has arrived.”
“Father?”
Ma Gyeong-rok, startled, ran out on his feet.
At the door, Ma Dae-cheol, chairman of Ohsung Group, was coming in accompanied by a young bodyguard.
“Father… Chairman, how did you get here without me telling you?”
“I’m going to stop by my son’s company. Do I have to tell you?”
“Still, if you contacted me, I would at least prepare a treat….”
“It’s okay. I’m planning on just looking around for a bit anyway.”
After saying that, Ma Dae-cheol held his back and looked around the company.
“You didn’t decorate it too bad.”
“…….”
“I heard about it. It’s off to a good start.”
“Where did you hear that?”
“You don’t know anything about that, do you?”
“…….”
“The brothers also said they were congratulating me.”
When the story of brothers came up, Ma Gyeong-rok’s eyes changed.
“Ah, the brothers who never sent that wreath?”
“Don’t be so sarcastic. Whether you like it or not, aren’t you brothers?”
“Can these people who are trying to steal my father’s property be said to be brothers?”
“Isn’t that the same for you too?”
“I’m only participating in the competition because I don’t want to share my share with my brothers. My father also agreed to that, right? As long as I prove that I am better than my brothers, he will recognize me as his successor and pass on all my property.”
“That’s right. Is it possible? There is less than a year left until the promised time.”
“Please wait a little longer. The start is several times better than the Cheonma consulting we did before. We still have to wait and see for a few more months.”
“Why did you change Cheonma Consulting? That wouldn’t have been so bad.”
“Because there was no more room for growth. And would my father have accepted me that much?”
“Hmph, absolutely not. Ranking 150th in KOSDAQ market cap is meaningless if you are not in the top 50.”
“I thought you would say that, so I gave up.”
“You’re bold. You know how to take risks in uncertain industries.”
“…….”
Ma Gyeong-rok was silent.
In fact, if it weren’t for Ryu Min’s suggestion, there would have been no need to change the industry.
“How did you come up with the idea to create a player market? Did you come up with it because you are a player?”
Ma Gyeong-rok was worried about the chairman’s question.
Should he tell the truth that it was Ryu Min’s idea, or should he take full credit for it?
Ma Gyeong-rok had to choose.
And I knew which was the right choice.
‘It’s not like my father can’t figure that out.’
Ma Gyeong-rok sighed inwardly and spoke honestly.
“I didn’t come up with that idea.”
“what?”
“There is a majority shareholder who acquired 51% of our company. It was an idea he proposed and devised. We are now working together as business associates.”
“It was someone else’s idea? Who was it?”
Ma Gyeong-rok looked back.
At that moment, Ryumin appeared.
“Major. Do you mind if I take a moment?”
“Ah yes.”
Ryu Min, who was watching, approached the chairman.
“Chairman. This is me.”
“Hello. My name is Ryumin.”
“…….”
Although he kept a blank expression, Ryumin knew.
The chairman is secretly quite surprised.
-That guy who looks about 20 years old is the CEO?
