Chapter 266

The Deuel Workshop (2)

The eyes of the audience grew as large as doors.

“W-What is it?”

“Did you see the status window pop up just now?”

“It says you get a buff for appreciating De L’s Workshop?”

“Oh, you too?”

Just by looking at the dragon statue and the surrounding architecture, ‘De L,’ everyone received a buff.

The dragon’s magnificence overwhelmed the audience.

The beauty of the artistic design, which didn’t seem to be made by humans.

Everything was amazing, but before that.

Had there ever been a time when you could get a buff just by [looking] at a building?

Never.

It was only natural that people were shocked by something that had never happened before in human history.

“Crazy, what kind of cheat building is this?”

“Maximum mana by 100? All stats by 10? It’s almost like wearing a free top-tier accessory?”

“Unbelievable……”

The audience looked at the messages with wonder.

Reporters took out their phones and frantically wrote something down.

A super-duper scoop among scoops!

They were writing articles to get the scoop first.

Of course, it wasn’t just reporters who were there.

Broadcasters, streamers, YouTubers, and so on.

Each of them took pictures of the scenery of ‘De L’ and shared the information on social media.

Among them.

Korea’s largest hunter community.

The 「Hunter Bulletin Board」 was also in an uproar.

[Title: Demir Workshop? X Now De L is the Trend O]

Because a post with a neatly captured video became a hot topic.

Did you see the video they took?

Demir…… No, De L’s Workshop is amazing. It’s crazy. You have to see it in person, not just in a video. How can a camera lens capture this beautiful work?

Yeah, this isn’t a building. It’s art!

Can you see the dragon? Anyone would think it’s a real living creature. From the scales to the breath and expression. It just looks alive. Wow! I can’t help but be amazed.

What about the building?

Could even experts from some ancient empire or kingdom have built such a classic building?

It seems there’s a reason why dwarves are called legends. They even give you a buff just for looking at it. Anyone who can go should definitely go.

An honest rant from an S-Class Hunter.

Unsurprisingly, the comment section was on fire.

▶LOL, that’s crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

▶How is it possible to build something like that? I’m impressed. I’m going to change my underwear.

▶My heart is pounding just from watching the video?

▶It seems like a work worthy of the name Otherworld. Always rooting for you!

▶What would it feel like to work in a place like that?

▶If I could go, I’d work there without pay;;

▶Even if you volunteer for free, you can’t go. That’s a god’s workplace where even high-spec people get rejected ㅋㅋㅋ Even if the workload is tough, the salary and treatment are legendary. And just having that experience can get you into almost any company or guild.

Buzzing.

Whether offline or online, there was a stir.

Now, everyone who came to De L’s Workshop!

Before the opening, we will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony!

Please look forward!

The professional emcee’s voice echoed through the microphone.

Flash!

At the same time as the light burst, 10 people popped out of the Portal.

They were Rankers from Otherworld.

“Wow!”

“Hyper Rankers!”

“It’s Ju Dong-hoon! Ju Dong-hoon himself appeared!”

The audience erupted in cheers.

Flash flash flash!

Since it was so rare to see their faces, the sound of camera shutters increased even more.

“Look over there, there’s a Berserker……! To think that the Berserker is affiliated with someone!”

“Isn’t that Peach Blossom Land inside? The main base of Otherworld.”

“Indeed, Hyper Rankers. They must be constantly sparring and training with each other inside. Undergoing harsh trials that no one can imagine.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

People murmured with emotional voices.

To them, Ju Dong-hoon was already a legend.

The fastest Hyper Ranker in the shortest amount of time.

The one who is considered to be the closest to the No. 1 ranking, [???], which no one has yet revealed!

Therefore, Ju Dong-hoon could not help but be glorified by many people.

Snip!

The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended with cutting a ribbon made of gold.

A simple and clear event for the majority.

Tedious procedures were boldly omitted.

It was out of consideration for the waiting audience.

Ribbon cutting complete! It was very fast, right? Haha!

Now, come in slowly and take a look around!

The interior of the building is large enough to accommodate all of you here!

The professional emcee shouted in an exciting voice.

He was also honored to be in this position, and he was constantly amazed even while emceeing.

That energy naturally permeated his tone.

Rumble rumble…….

As the fog cleared and the door opened.

People began to move to the building complex.

Oh, and one more thing! Please do not come up around the Portal!

Do you see the dark gray fog surrounding the dragon statue?

There is a special ritual involved here!

Halt!

Some people who were excited to touch the dragon froze.

Shooaaaaaa……!

The fog rippling around the dragon made a threatening sound like a snake.

You may be attacked if an unauthorized person approaches!

I heard that the moment you are attacked, you may be thrown into the middle of the universe and wander forever! Ah, or will you explode due to the pressure before that? Haha!

At the very gruesome sound.

People hurriedly moved away from the dragon statue.

“Crazy.”

“That emcee guy. Why is he saying that now? Is he a psycho?”

“It’s a bit creepy to say those things with a smile.”

Someone frowned, but they actually understood.

This was because Otherworld had previously announced that they were very concerned about the ‘security’ of this building.

“Well, it’s the entrance to Otherworld’s main base, so it has to be that level.”

“That’s right, if that’s true…… Even most Rankers would be too scared to go in, right?”

“I’m curious about the inside too. Some employees say that the real Otherworld is separate.”

The audience lost interest in the statue and walked inside.

The interior was decorated in a kind of garden style.

The buildings erected here and there and the surrounding landscaping were reminiscent of a painting.

“Ah.”

“This is what art is.”

“As expected, the dwarves are serious about making things, it lives up to its name.”

There were many buildings.

But the three most important buildings were:

Sales Floor.

Auction House.

VIP Exhibition Hall.

The sales floor was literally a place to sell Demir’s ready-made products.

It was the largest place, as it was where the most people would visit.

Next is the auction house.

It was a place to dispose of Demir’s high-priced items or items obtained by affiliated Rankers.

Of course, they also planned to take on commissions.

Finally, the VIP Exhibition Hall.

This is where Demir’s limited edition X series of S-class or higher items are sold.

The only purpose of the building.

To make VIP items look desirable to anyone.

There were only four items on display in that large space.

In addition, in the case of Demir No. 1 and No. 2, which had already been sold, tombstones were placed instead of exhibits.

There.

[No. 1 – ‘Dagger for Assassins’ (S-Class) / Owner: Dark Emperor Gi So-yul]

[No. 2 – ‘Giant Soldier God’s Fist’ (S-Class) / Owner: Berserker Jang Dae-ung]

The name of the item and the owner were listed.

On the tombstone, in an elegant font.

There was a statement guaranteeing the owner of the item.

And below that.

Lifetime free A/S.

Demir’s close management.

It stated guaranteed content such as periodic reinforcement according to the blacksmith’s ability changes.

The mind of De L’s Workshop, which would take responsibility and manage the products purchased to the end, moved the audience.

“Wow.”

“Crazy.”

“I’m really jealous of this?”

“Once a customer, always managed for life, right?”

In fact, due to the nature of Demir, it had to be that way.

Demir had not yet regained his original legendary blacksmith skills.

Because he is improving every time, every moment.

If the person who buys it later has better performance, no one will try to buy De L’s Workshop’s products early.

“It’s my dream to buy something there and have it recorded in the exhibition hall.”

“Don’t even think about it, it’s not a place where you can buy just because you have money.”

“That’s right. I heard they now evaluate social awareness too? The easiest way to buy it is to become friends with the Skeleton Emperor…….”

“Is that…… the easiest thing? It seems like the hardest difficulty?”

People enjoying the exhibition hall whispered and enjoyed the moment.

It was so-called luxury window shopping.

They didn’t have the ability to buy it, but they were vicariously satisfied by looking at it.

Numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 on display were swords, spears, bows, and staffs, respectively.

They were in a provisional state, with [Unreleased] stickers attached.

These were unfinished works due to Demir’s will to know the tendencies and abilities of the person who would become the owner and make them accordingly.

The sales floor was the next most popular place after the exhibition hall.

Everyone! Have you been waiting long? We will be releasing 30 times the existing quantity of Demir’s famous ready-made products worldwide today!

“Wow!”

“Crazy. 30 times? Otherworld is getting greedy.”

“They’ve been resting a lot lately. Could it be that the quantity has been piling up?”

It is also offered at a 10% discount! Opening promotion! There’s no reason not to buy it, right?!

“……Discount?”

“Hey, I think we should sell all the money we have and buy it?”

“That’s right, even if you just buy it and keep it, you get a premium, right? Should I get a loan?”

“No, you crazy bastard. You have to think carefully. If they release the quantity like that in the future, the existing premium will inevitably be cut.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

In fact, a premium is created when supply cannot keep up with demand.

As time passes, and all the hunters who have met the needs have completed their purchases?

Due to the nature of equipment that is not a consumable, demand is bound to decrease.

And that was.

It was also what De L’s Workshop wanted.

From the company’s point of view, it is not a good picture for the workshop to do the production and the hoarders to earn profits with premiums in the first place.

“Oh, what is this?”

One of the audience members on the sales floor asked an employee.

A rare-looking ore was visible on the finger the audience member was pointing at.

“Ah, customer. That ore is a special ore that only comes from Peach Blossom Land. It’s called Soul Iron, and it has excellent durability, but it’s difficult to mine.”

“Yes, customer. This is Millennium Cold Iron! It’s not actually iron that has been aged for a thousand years, but it’s because it’s full of cold air!”

De L’s Workshop no longer only sold ready-made products.

They offered rare ores, wood, materials, etc. that could not be found on Earth as products.

Unexpectedly, the popularity exploded.

This was because the explaining employees were all high-paid and elite salespeople who had made a name for themselves somewhere.

They were all employees carefully selected by Kim Jin-ah.

“This ore seems to suit your personality well, customer? You know that metal also follows the personality of the owner, right? It seems to suit you well because it’s as cool as your impression, customer!”

“This is a dragon tail tree fruit, and it’s good for stamina and has great effects when boiled and eaten. It’s also difficult to grow, so only the Forest Clan can produce it.”

Thanks to that.

All items on the sales floor were sold out within 1 hour of opening!

It was De L’s Workshop setting an unprecedented record.
