Convenience Store 24: The Tower of the End 1st - Chapter 70



Only Krnovel

Is this your first time with the 70th card pack? (1)

You can tell just by looking at it that it’s not an ordinary grade card.

‘What grade was this?’

I quickly checked out YouTube.

[The card grade system is as follows. Normal-Rare-Unique-Elite-Legend, and only 30 copies of each Legend card are made… … .]

‘Oh! I’m a legend! No, of course I should be a legend!’

More than the joy of getting a legend card.

It was even more encouraging that I was ranked Legend.

‘The pose isn’t too bad.’

The image of him with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his face, wearing a mask.

I also liked that there was a building behind me that looked like a convenience store.

‘This is strangely interesting.’

Isn’t this card what people are evaluating another side of me for?

‘How did you give the ability values?’

[No. 999 The Ever-Breaking Heart – The Owner of the Fantasy Shop]

Category: Strategist

Atk: 5,200 / Def: 4,800

Description: An eccentric merchant who deals in real-world items. There is no telling what will appear in his shop.

Special Ability: When this card is on the field, the shop opens at the end of each turn.

When the shop is open, you can draw 1 [Fantasy Shop Exclusive – Goods] card from the deck into your hand.

Also randomly destroys 1 [Attacker] card in the opponent’s hand.

Destroyed cards cannot be reused in the game.

‘Hmm, I know it has a lot of special abilities, but… … .’

I have no idea how great of an ability this is.

‘I’ll just keep it safe and then search for it at home later… ‘

At that time.

“Wow, isn’t that a legendary card?!”

“Mister! Mister! What card is that?”

“Can you show me? The Legendary cards that come out of the new packs are definitely new cards!”

When did you get to my feet?

The children were looking at the legend card in my hand with bright eyes.

“Yeah. Instead, you just look at it with your eyes?”

I bent down and showed the cards to the kids.

‘If you look at the children’s reactions, you can get a rough idea of ​​the true value of this card.’

Especially because children are sensitive to trends of the times.

“Oh?! Wow! I’m dying! Is it true that this new pack adds a fantasy shopkeeper?”

“Look at its special ability! Just by being on the field, it destroys one of the attacker cards each turn! Isn’t that a total scam?”

“It’s like a completely superior version of the old card. If only that card existed, no one would use the Black Knight deck. Right?”

“No! The abilities of the two cards are different! The card that is far away is a zombie deck that draws cards from the graveyard and uses them, and that one opens a shop? It’s a completely new type of card.”

Before we knew it, the children were having a serious discussion among themselves.

“I’m sorry, our children were rude, Inbeom!”

“My child is not usually this rude… … . I am truly sorry.”

“Ahhhhh! It hurts! Mom! It hurts!”

The children’s parents came to me and apologized repeatedly.

One child was even dragged away by his mother while holding his ear.

“Haha, it’s okay. It’s nice to see you so cheerful.”

“But, I mean… … .”

A father of a child whispers to me softly.

“By any chance, that Legend card? Would you be willing to trade it for the 20 Elite cards I have?”

“……yes?”

I just stared at him blankly at his unexpected suggestion.

“These are not common unique cards. The cards I will present are the Saint Card, the key card for ‘Resurrection’, the Ice Magician Card, and the key card for ‘Ice Magic’!”

Just then the man proudly opened up his collection book containing cards.

“Ugh, you piece of shit!”

“Eugh… … .”

A woman pulls a man’s ear.

“Inbeom and you are the same, the same!”

“No, honey… … Just listen to me for a moment. Legend cards are really precious… … .”

“You, come with me before I confiscate that collectible book or whatever.”

“Ah… … Yeah… … .”

Looking at the woman hitting the backs of two rich men whose earlobes were swollen.

I thought to myself.

‘It really is true that cards are popular regardless of age.’

That old man wasn’t the only one interested in this legendary card.

“Ahem… … .”

“Ahem!”

Even though I’m trying hard to save face in front of my child.

I could feel the greed in the old men’s eyes.

‘I don’t intend to exchange it, though.’

I had no intention of handing this card over to someone else, no matter how much it was worth.

‘I should keep this as a souvenir.’

Let me put the Legend card into the road card pack.

Sighs of regret came from all over.

‘Let’s take a look around the festival site a bit more.’

I walked around several street stalls.

Among them, there were some who made figures of the people in the tower and sold them.

Merchandise featuring the characters in the tower, such as posters and mouse pads, were also selling like hotcakes.

‘There are so many different posters.’

A picture of the advance party that subdued Behemoth.

A saint who heals her comrades while covered in blood, Lee Ji-soo who roars while holding a blazing sword, etc.

There were various pictures on the table.

‘Huh? I have one too?’

And some of them were my goods.

There were various types of pictures, such as one showing a convenience store being opened and bullying raiders, or one showing Biden being defeated in one blow.

“Can I have this poster please?!”

“How much is this?”

‘That kind of thing sells better than I thought.’

My goods were more popular than I thought.

Because the demand was higher than that of other raiders, there weren’t many left.

I was curious and approached the owner who was selling goods.

“Welcome! There are various paintings, from backgrounds of the tower to portraits!”

“What is going well?”

“Well, the battle paintings of Hongyeon’s Afterimage are also popular, and the saintess is pretty, so she’s popular with men. People who like animals also buy the paintings of druids and animals here.”

“Oh… … .”

It seems that goods with pictures of women on them are popular.

“I guess men’s paintings don’t sell well?”

“Haha, female characters are more popular than male characters, right? And in the past, the drawings of Mulden, Byden, and the members of the vanguard were popular. However, after the video of them fighting the owner of the fantasy shop was uploaded to YouTube, the popularity seems to have died down.”

“okay.”

When I nodded.

The boss shows me a poster.

“If you can’t find what you’re looking for, how about this? The fantasy shop owner’s goods are selling well these days!”

“haha…….”

I am not a narcissist.

‘I don’t really have the hobby of hanging up my paintings in my room, but I’d like to buy one as a souvenir.’

In addition, I picked up a few more paintings, including one that contained the great nature of Elasium and one that contained the majesty of the giants.

‘It will be a gift in its own way.’

These drawings were planned to be given to the summoners who were still busy working in the kitchen.

Besides that, I walked around the festival site and bought a few more goods before going back home.

Rattling-

“You’re here? Oh, but what did you buy a lot of? What is that?”

In response to the question from the person who came out to greet me, I took out the contents of the paper bag and showed it to him.

“There was an event going on, so I bought some things.”

“Is this a drawing of the inside of a tower?”

“okay.”

The clone who was examining the poster tilted his head as if he found it difficult to understand.

“You sell things like this for money?”

“To the natives and the raiders, the tower may be life itself, but to outsiders, it is just a part of the entertainment. That is why this is also profitable.”

“I know what you mean… … but I still don’t get it.”

While the clone was taking out the posters one by one and frowning.

Suddenly a breathless laugh escaped the guy’s mouth.

“what’s the matter?”

“Isn’t this the owner?”

“Why do the corners of my mouth seem to go up?”

The guy shook his head, furrowing his brow as if trying to suppress a smile.

“No, it’s just a little bit strange. The people here don’t even know the owner’s identity, right? But since they’re selling these things, it’s kind of fun.”

“Humans are the ones who will do anything for money. Anyway, I’m going in. Good work.”

I put the things I brought in on one side of the room.

I picked up my phone again.

That’s because there were videos that caught my interest the whole time I was riding the subway.

‘hmm…….’

I turned my gaze again and stared at my phone.

[Investigation Log No. 21, About the Identity of the Fantasy Shop Owner.]

‘There are quite a few YouTubers like this these days.’

It seems like there are more YouTubers out there who specialize in tracking and researching just my information these days.

[Now, these are the same Kringles that the store owner sells. But these cookies have a serial number. This is the number that tells us which factory produced them. Yes! That’s right! We can use this number to deduce his identity!]

[Watch the related video here. You see the numbers clearly written on the cookies the raiders bought? We tracked those numbers! And we… … got amazing results! That’s… … !]

But what was scary was that the process they used to track my information was quite professional.

but…….

[There is no factory in the world that produces this number of cookies! There is not even a ghost company!]

[In other words, the items he sells at the top are not things taken from outside or summoned, but rather completely new items he created himself!]

I expected something like this to happen.

Their actions were futile.

‘Do you think I just put things in without thinking? When I put real things in the tower, I checked to see if the product numbers and such were automatically changed.’

I don’t know if it’s the system’s consideration.

Thanks to that, even if I brought outside items into the tower, their identities would not be revealed.

‘Interesting.’

I can see in the room that someone is genuinely trying to figure out my identity.

‘But I still have to be careful.’

Mistakes come from small comforts.

It’s unlikely to happen, but it’s always right to be careful.

‘Oh right, let me take another look at that.’

I put my phone on the bed and took a pack of cards out of my bag.

‘Ehhhhh… … This feels strangely good.’

A card that contains another side of me.

This is really fun to look at.

And I’ve already looked through the videos on youtube that evaluated my card.

‘I said it was the greatest card of all time.’

Destroy one of your opponent’s Strategy Cards by simply placing it on the field and ending your turn.

In addition, the [Fantasy Shop Exclusive-Product] card was said to be the best.

‘The product cards exclusive to the Fantasy Shop are converted into item cards, which provide various buffs.’

Of course, I’m not going to be playing card battles with other people.

Anyway, it means that my card came out with weird specs.

Isn’t that what the world thinks of me as?!

‘I feel this for the first time, but it’s really amazing.’

I feel strange.

But it’s not a bad feeling.

‘Since I got the Legendary card this time, I think I’ll try collecting cards as a hobby. It seems like it could be a good hobby… …Huh? Wait a minute.’

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

‘There’s no need to limit this to just a hobby, right? How about taking this card pack to the top and selling it?’
