Chapter 17 Mines Need Slaves (3)
Arcadia's economic structure is incomparably sophisticated and ticulous compared to other gas.
production and consumption.
supply and demand.
circulation.
The resources and special products produced in each region are different, and the required products are also complexly intertwined to the point where it is safe to say that they are no different from the real economic structure that changes rapidly depending on the situation and ti.
“We need a lot of wheat in our upper ranks. If you bring so wheat, I will give it to you at a high price.”
“Oh oh! Isn't that the bomb beetle shell, a specialty of run Village? How much do you have?”
“It's a miscellaneous item... It must be hard to get the price right here, right?”
A vast world where you can make huge profits depending on the rapidly fluctuating market prices. Of course, in certain areas, it was possible to purchase necessary items regardless of inventory by receiving the correction of the ga system, but in most cases, if there was no inventory, it was impossible to buy even if you wanted to.
“Oh really! It’s really hard to get iron ore!”
“Is it because there are a lot of people who have changed jobs as blacksmiths? It seems to be getting harder and harder.”
“Did you change your job to a blacksmith for no reason? The price of iron ore isn’t the sa these days, is it?”
The price of iron ore, which started to rise due to chronic iron ore inventory shortages, has now risen to 17 bronze. Now, even if you slt iron ore purchased from the exchange and make it into a weapon, you are barely making money or making a loss. As a result, complaints from users began to creep in.
“No matter how realistic the ga is, isn’t this too much?”
“that's right! What do you an you have to play the ga only when the amount of items updated every day is this small?”
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have just been a warrior. Ehh.....”
Blacksmith users lanted. However, no matter how much they complained, non-production users could not understand their joys and sorrows.
“Can’t we just mine the iron ore ourselves?”
A territory famous for producing a lot of iron ore. There are already many NPCs working as miners in the village, so I thought it wouldn't be bad to go digging myself, but everyone just snorted.
“mining? Have you ever tried that yourself?”
“It’s a distance that takes more than two hours just to get there. And what about the mining difficulty?”
“I’d rather leave it to soone else and improve my skill proficiency while repairing my equipnt!”
Arcadia in the early days of opening. There weren't many people who chose the production line like Blacksmith yet, and the level of competitors was also similar. Because the profit to be gained by raising the production skill faster than anyone else and moving ahead was much greater, everyone was digging into the village without going directly to mine iron ore. By increasing skill proficiency through occasional free repairs.

[Iron ore has been acquired.]
[Mining skill has risen to A rank.]
[Mining speed and mining success rate have increased. Rare minerals can be found with a low probability.]
[Hidden minerals can be detected.]
[HP increases by 10.]
“ Whoa.....”
mine. Inside, Jaeyoung put on a pleasant smile when he heard that his mining skill had risen to A rank, and he wrapped up his work so far.
-1024 iron ore.
-119 Silver Ore.
-33 gold ore.
- 5 raw magic stones.
...-1 rough diamond.
Starting with iron ore, various rare minerals and gemstones piled up tightly. Satisfied with the fact that the inventory was filled with an enormous amount that would probably make blacksmiths drool when they saw it, when Jae-young finally put the pickaxe in, the bullets fluttered and flew from sowhere.
“uh? Are you finally done?”
Tan, who said he had sothing to look for, disappeared sowhere in the mine. Seeing him who hadn't been seen for a while, Jaeyoung asked curiously.
“So extent. Rather, what the hell have you been looking for all this ti?”
“It’s nothing.”
“What's not a big deal?”
“That's... I'll tell you later when I find it.”
Tan who saves words. Seeing him smiling at sothing wicked, a feeling of uneasiness welled up in my heart, but I didn't ask any more in an atmosphere that didn't seem to tell much.
“no. Anyway, I'm going to take a break now, so don't get into any strange accidents and stay calm.”
At the words that he would close the connection, Tan nodded his head nonchalantly.
“Yeah, I can't move much anyway because of the restrictions while you're gone, the contractor.”
Jaeyoung, who looked at Tan with a slightly unreliable look, left the ga. And imdiately turned on the Internet and connected to Arpendia.
-special! The lost village of beginners. What is the future for new users?
-New hunting ground, Sli's Sanctuary. blitz dissection.
-Ranked No. 1 Abel. Level 43 achieved!
“They say that videos are so hot these days.... It looks like they’re real.”
A world where Internet broadcasting, including streaming, is the mainstream. It was quite popular in the past, but after a system was built to transfer Arcadia plays directly to a computer as video, everything started to co up as video rather than text and images.
I connected Jaeyoungdo's capsule and computer while watching Arfandia's main video, which includes everything from basic strategies to useful information and guides to daily content.
“Then should I also upload it as a video?”
Arcadia's official community, Arfandia.
Jaeyoung, who had joined there and opened a personal channel, thought for a while and wrote sothing down.
[Daily life of a Destroyer.]
Jaeyoung, who created a channel with a title that made cringe just hearing the na, quickly changed all settings related to personal information to anonymous and private, and then started editing a video. Normal play of simple mining. However, with Jaeyoung's hands moving busily with an evil smile, the image was transford into a completely different aning.

“Hey! Brother! Can you access Arcadia today?”
a middle school classroom. Even during break ti, which was busy talking loudly, all the classmates were busy talking about Arcadia. And Myung-han, who enjoyed playing with Hyung-tak, was the sa. However, his friend, Hyung-tak, said in a sullen voice.
“I’m not going to do that anymore.”
“Eh? why?”
Hyung-tak, who had been more excited than he had been before, and approached him passionately to play the ga. However, it was a surprise to Myung-han when he said that he would now close Arcadia. Then Hyung-tak said with a face that he was angry just thinking about it.
“No, sothing is wrong with that ga! When I was a beginner, as soon as I started playing, I was killed by so kind of strange killer! When I logged in the next day, the slis got really strong! And then the town itself disappeared! Do you know how many tis I died because of it?”
Among the many users who suffered damage due to the sli incident, Hyung-tak suffered a pitiful amount of damage. That's why Myung-han understood that he was going through a sage ti for the ga, so he talked brightly.
“But fortunately, you made it to Mikhail’s estate well! From there, just settle down like you did in the Beginner's Village! what are you there I even changed jobs as a rchant!”
A non-combat class not found in beginner villages. Hyung-tak, who had moved to another village without being able to change his job, was fortunate enough to beco a rchant.
“Then what do you do? I didn't know anything, and I only received strange skills? Hunting is hard now!”
The level has risen a little, but there is no skill related to combat, and the gap with the friend who started together is gradually widening as he gradually encounters the limit of his growth ability. Because of that, Hyung-tak hated Arcadia more and more. However, Myung-han found sothing on his smartphone and presented it to Hyung-tak.
“Look at this!”
“What is this?”
“What you can do other than hunting.”
Video shown by Myeonghan. Hyung-tak, who started watching the video without thinking about it, began to focus on the video little by little, and at the end he shouted with his eyes wide open.
“This is...!”
A video that many people have already watched. The title of the video of this topic, where comnts are also being uploaded in real ti, was really stimulating.
[You can do it too! Make money with Arcadia!]
* * *
Arcadia's basic currency is divided into three types.
bronze silver gold.
Each currency has a unit difference of 100 tis and is used throughout the Arcadia continent, ensuring stable value anywhere. In addition, given that it had an elaborate and detailed economic structure that was no different from reality, so even said that it should be recognized as an official currency.
[The world is changing now! Virtual economic activities are already no different from reality to be seen as fiction in the digital world! Economic value within Arcadia must be recognized as real value!]
[I didn't know that the ergence of virtual currency would happen in this way... but there is already a movent to exchange Arcadia's currency for real goods. It is better to preemptively recognize it as a currency and manage its value stably. Also.....]
Unlike existing ga goods or items, a virtual world with infinite uses according to its value. That's why there was a lot of talk about recognizing the currency value of Arcadia's ‘gold', but there were many opposing opinions.
[Do you think that makes sense? Are you giving value to sothing that doesn't exist, which is just a piece of data? If that's the case, how are you going to deal with the chaos that will happen if ga companies create the currency indefinitely?] [
I don't know in the distant future, but right now it's impossible. Well, the ergence of virtual reality technology is new and fresh, but there are too many things that are lacking to have the status of a traditional currency. Is there no one who can preserve its value? Well, there will be talk of acknowledging the countries in the ga. Heh heh heh!]
‘It's not money, it's data!' ‘Who would pay for it?' ‘Are you crazy?'. Contrary to the stories of politicians and economists who can be roughly reduced to three things, people's demand to purchase Arcadia's currency was increasing.
- I buy gold. welco in bulk. purchase in full.
-☆Speedy ☆Gold sales ☆Contact & ssage★
-Buy all the gold you have. This month's salary is all ssed up.
The number of buyers is increasing, but the number of sellers is very small. Even if the state-level researchers and technical staff were hung up on, there was no way for the workshop or auto program to work. A ga where only users who actually enjoy playing exist. That's why there couldn't be many rchants selling and supplying gold.
“Wow... what is the price of gold? 100,000 won for 1 gold? If you do well with this, you'll get a good job, right?”
“I know? Does this sll like money?”
The price of gold, which is gradually increasing in face value. And when the people who slled it started to turn their eyes to virtual reality one by one. A video started to beco popular.
[That's why. It's a mine in Pagon Mountain. Iron ore is mined here. When the mining skill is F-rank, it mines about 20 per hour, but as the rank goes up, it gets pretty fast.] The
mine resonated with the clear sound of a pickaxe. In the video, an unknown person wielding a pickaxe was digging for iron ore. Then he continued to explain.
[My mining skill is A rank right now, and I can dig about 50 iron ores in an hour. Rare minerals that occasionally appear there. In my case, things like magic stones and diamonds ca out.]
After mining, return to the village and continue the conversation with the exchange rchant. In the video, each person slled a strong sll of money.
[Ohhh! So many iron ores! How much do you plan to sell for?]
[Hmm.... They're still in short supply these days, right?]
[Kuhm.... It's a bit lacking, but I'm still posting more than now...] [
Are you going to buy 18 bronze each?]
[That's a bit! Hasn't the price already risen to 17 bronze because of you!]
[Really? Then we'll go and sell them elsewhere.]
[That's that! Got it! I'll buy it! Instead, I will sell all other minerals besides iron ore!]
The main character of the video said after completing a transaction with a rchant who was restless from negotiating the price and was trying to buy iron ore.
[The money earned from mining iron ore for a day... is 1 gold and 82 silver.]
1 gold and 82 silver. Having earned 182,000 won at the current market price, he said in a funny voice.
[How is it? It's so easy to make money, isn't it?]
