Three Meals of a Reincarnator Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Episode 116
Despite having earned 200 billion without making any effort, Min Sung was emotionless.
“Is it over?”
In response to Min Sung’s question, Ho Sung Lee got a little closer.
“There’s one item left. It’s the item that you got when you slew the devil that time. This item is at a whole different level. Until now, all of the countries cooperated with each other to pay the base price for all of the items. But if we put this item out at the base price…”
“Ho Sung.”
“Yes…?”
“Sell it for 1 trillion.”
Gulp.
Ho Sung Lee gulped loud enough for it to be heard.
He thought he heard him wrong, but he didn’t.
He heard it correctly.
Min Sung Kang said it.
To sell it for 1 trillion.
That amount was so large that he thought he might have gone crazy.
‘1 trillion for one item?’
Ho Sung Lee wondered if he could afford that even if he was reborn a hundred times.
“O-okay.”
After stuttering his answer, Ho Sung Lee got back up and returned to the group.
“… There’s one item left. The starting price for this item is 1 trillion.”
Ethan threw his sword.
“Gasp!”
Ho Sung Lee gasped and closed his eyes shut.
The sword that Ethan threw landed just a step away from Ho Sung Lee’s feet.
Ho Sung Lee dripped in sweat as he opened his eyes.
“C-calm down. Just hear me out.”
“You should know not to cross the line!”
“We willingly participated in this auction, but what now? You’re selling an item for 1 trillion?”
“You son of a b*tch!”
“F*ck! Sh*t!”
“You mother f*cker!”
Curse words poured out from all directions.
‘Ugh, these world hunters.’
“Calm down. The item I’m selling this time is at a whole different level from the ones I just sold. And please don’t curse at me. I’m just doing as I’m told.”
The mention of a ‘different level’ made the commanders calm down a little bit.
But they were still enraged.
“Ahem…”
Ho Sung Lee coughed before introducing the item.
“This item is…”
Ho Sung Lee took out the Devil’s Sword from the item window.
As soon as he lifted up the weapon, a wave of blood surrounded Ho Sung Lee’s body.
The ‘Devil’s Sword’ appeared as if it could explode at any moment.
When the world hunters saw that, their eyes grew wide.
After seeing the abilities of the sword, Ho Sung Lee first felt startled, but he then let go of all greed and explained the specifications of the Devil’s Sword.
And as soon as the hunters heard the specifications, they went nuts.
Their eyes were immediately filled with greed.
The Devil’s Sword was more than qualified to be sold at such a high price.
The hunters, who just looked like they wanted to kill him, now were silent as if they had cold water poured upon them.
“Let me repeat. This item is not up for an auction. The price is 1 trillion, and if multiple people want it, it’ll turn into an auction, but as of right now, it doesn’t seem like that’ll happen.”
Ho Sung Lee smiled brightly.
“Who wants to buy it?”
No matter how much stronger America got by eating items, they still would have wanted the best sword possible.
“Me,” Ethan said.
At that moment, the commander from South America also stepped up.
“Ethan, you only have the rights to the best weapons starting on the 9th floor. Please yield just this once.”
Ethan remembered the agreement and clenched his teeth.
Just as he said, they had agreed that he would have priority for the top items starting on the 9th floor.
And at the moment, they were on the 8th floor.
It was right for the opportunity to go to someone else.
Since he didn’t want to lose trust with excessive greed, Ethan sighed and backed off.
‘Wow, look at that.’
Ho Sung Lee clapped inside his head.
‘Then what happens now?’
“I doubt South America is the only one who wants to buy the Devil’s Sword though.”
Ho Sung Lee added oil to the fire.
As a result, the commanders of other countries began to step up.
“We’re interested in it, too!”
“Us, too!”
“Yeah!”
Each commander spoke up.
Since the Devil’s Sword was their only opportunity at a top item, none of the commanders could back down.
Ho Sung Lee showed a slight grin.
The lukewarm responses were long gone.
Despite the price of 1 trillion being astronomical, they were all excited in front of the Devil’s Sword.
Ho Sung Lee felt an urge to burst into laughter, but he held back.
Seeing them fight over it made him realize that they were just human.
Ho Sung Lee looked over at Min Sung.
Although the world hunters grew noisy, he was still leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
After seeing him, Ho Sung Lee smirked.
‘He’s an impressive guy.’
He saw the hunters as people, but he didn’t see Min Sung Kang that way.
‘He’s definitely a monster.’
Ho Sung Lee then turned back to the arguing hunters.
In response to the excitement among the hunters, Ho Sung Lee couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.
***
Screechhhhhh.
A white car arrived at the assembly, and the robed man got out from the driver’s seat.
The assembly was empty.
Since everyone had gone to the tower, there wasn’t a single ant in sight.
After taking a look around, the robed man opened the back door of his car.
That was when a pile of boxes was revealed.
He opened the boxes and checked the items within.
He then looked over at the Black Tower.
Inside the hood, the robed man’s eyes sparkled like the thunder and lightning at the tower.
***
Following a noisy dispute, the hunters finally came to a decision.
They decided who would pay 1 trillion for the Devil’s Sword.
It took a while, but Ho Sung Lee enjoyed watching them fight over it.
“I’m buying the Devil’s Sword.”
The commander who expressed his interest was an unexpected character.
He thought that the commander of South America, who had many strong hunters, would get the Devil’s Sword, but in contrast to that prediction, the commander who got the opportunity was from Oceana.
And Ho Sung Lee soon realized the reason.
As for 1 trillion, any commander was capable of affording that much.
For that reason, they had to come to a fair decision, and from their standpoint, since this was their opportunity at a top item, they had to make it fair.
So they decided to solve things through a lottery.
Considering they were commanders of high rank, the thought of a lottery was quite comical.
What they were bickering about ultimately led to this.
Ho Sung Lee smiled and began to deal with the Oceana commander.
He received 1 trillion worth of Black Mithril, and the deal closed just like that.
***
They finished dealing with all of their items.
It was time to proceed to the 9th floor.
In response to Min Sung’s hand gesture, the hunters began to climb up to the 9th floor.
While they climbed the stairs, Ho Sung Lee stared at Min Sung in an annoyed manner.
“Sir.”
“What?”
“You just earned 1.2 trillion won. I still can’t believe it. 1.2 trillion. Haha… You’re impressive, Sir. I can’t believe you thought about doing that. You’re at a whole different level.”
Ho Sung Lee laughed as if he lost his mind.
“Shut up. This Black Mithril. Can it be traded in for cash?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. The Black Mithril is worth a lot. It’s a top substance that is used for construction, art, and even scientific research.”
Min Sung nodded.
“Of course, it’s been compressed, but it’s not hard to exchange. And it also rises in price just like gold back in the day.”
“Okay, I get the idea.”
Min Sung tilted his head and stared at the world hunters ahead.
“It’s a little bothersome and takes too much time to sell items like this when our windows get full.”
“Hmm…”
In response, Ho Sung Lee thought about what answer to give while staring at Min Sung.
“There is a way…”
Ho Sung Lee trailed off with an anxious face and tilted his head.
“… But I’m scared to say it.”
“Why?”
“Hm… I feel like something big might happen if I tell you.”
“Just say it.”
“Enchant,” Ho Sung Lee finally replied.
“By Enchant, are you referring to making weapons and shields stronger?”
“That’s right. We could succeed, but it could fail as well. We’re inside a tower, so the enchant method could be the most guaranteed and quickest way to deal with items.”
“But why is it dangerous to tell me that?”
Min Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee in confusion.
“I feel like you might enchant items that shouldn’t be enchanted as well. Even with the Devil’s Sword, it’s only possible after +0.”
Min Sung laughed.
“You’d probably go after items that are one of a kind.”
Pow!
Min Sung kicked Ho Sung Lee in the balls.
“… Ugh!”
The excruciating pain made Ho Sung Lee cover his mouth and wriggle his body.
“I-I’m sorry.”
“Then let’s enchant the weapons and shields from now on, and for the not so good items, let’s just sell them off,” Min Sung finished as he walked ahead.
Ho Sung Lee rubbed his balls as he mumbled “bastard” over and over again.
***
No monster appeared on their way to the 9th floor.
They finally got to the 9th floor, and as a result, the hunters looked more nervous than ever before.
