1.99 Lucky Player

"Is there any way to cause any damage to this monster?"

"Yes, by getting stronger. Your level isn’t everything, your bodies need more training, muscles are always necessary. Although your breasts may become smaller, it’s something you should try."

She did not like Masaru’s answer, her breasts were not large, and having them become smaller would be something very bad. She was very careful with her training and diet, she chose many high-calorie foods so that her breasts would not become smaller, but at the same time, she was careful with certain exercises so that her butt would not become full of cellulite. It was something complicated that only she understood.

"I’ll take care of these dragons, you can come back here another time. When you get stronger."

’I don’t need to get much stronger, I just need someone to masturbate me,’ Haru thought while looking at Masaru.

He said nothing, he simply accepted what he had said.

Haru wanted to fight and defeat the earth dragon, but there was nothing else he could do, none of the shots had any effect.

’Earth?’ Haru thought.

He picked up the shotgun and began shooting, this time the shots were causing a little damage, since he was using water elemental bullets.

"What did you just do?" Mio asked.

"I just used water elemental bullets, since it is an earth dragon, I thought water would be its weakness, and it actually is."

Mio kept thinking, but she had nothing she could use to cause elemental damage.

"Hina, do you have any elemental buff?"

"Yes, but only elemental defense, I don’t have anything to use for attacks."

Mio remained seated, watching Haru and Masaru fight.

Masaru only used strikes in the air, his movements gradually became slower, but that was not fatigue, Masaru was adjusting the strength he would use in his attacks. At the beginning, he used too much strength since he did not remember how much strength was needed to kill the dragons. But continuing to use very strong attacks is something that will cause fatigue more quickly.

"Why do you want these crystals?"

"I used up all the crystals in the guild’s stock and I need to replenish everything."

"How many crystals were used and what were they used for?"

"I used more than three hundred earth dragon crystals when I used the teleport during the event."

"Each crystal costs twenty-four silver coins, and you’re telling me you spent more than three hundred?" Mio asked.

She punched him, even though he could have dodged, he did not.

"Exactly, but it was necessary, I needed to show how much better and important our guild was. It really was necessary, and I even managed to attract some adventurers."

"How many adventurers were attracted after the event?"

"I got more than fifteen groups and we managed to collect many crystals."

"What was the total profit that all those adventurers generated during these days?"

"I believe I made around fifty-seven silver coins."

Mio held herself back, she wanted to punch him again.

"But that doesn’t pay for almost anything, not even the employees’ salaries."

An average salary was two gold coins, Masaru had a monthly expense of more than forty gold coins, and the highest salary belonged to Kaede.

Masaru did not answer, he simply continued killing the dragons that appeared.

"You’re not going to answer anything?"

"I don’t need to, I’ll just continue killing the dragons and at some point I’ll get the crystals for the stock."

"Why do you have a stock of crystals?" Haru asked.

"You never know when we’ll need them, most of my stock was used in the second week of the crisis, I needed money to pay the debts and keep everything running here. But before that, the stock was used for other emergencies, such as a shortage of crystals. These events are rare, but they can happen, which is why my father kept 1% of everything we bought. In some cases, we need some more monster drops, and that’s why we keep everything stored."

"I understand, that makes sense. I remember once there was that flu outbreak, they really needed some monster drop, it took them a few weeks to get enough to make that potion for everyone."

"Exactly, but I was very reckless. That’s why I want to recreate the entire stock, it will take many months for me to get everything we lost."

"Now I have a question, if there are still some crystals there, why not sell everything? The situation is already bad, getting rid of everything would be much better."

"Yes, but at the same time it wouldn’t. For example, if I sold everything, I wouldn’t get enough money to pay everything I owed, but it would help a lot. And now I have another problem, the energy company won’t take all the crystals I got, I offered all the items for the same price I paid, the company, even with problems, didn’t buy them, so I have to get some crystals to make up for what I need, I took a loss in this event.

I was already aware that I would be left with a debt, now the market is different, before Moriyama was desperate for more crystals to keep things running, and now they don’t want to buy everything because maybe they won’t be able to keep themselves running."

"But won’t they sell the energy at some point?"

"Yes, but they only buy enough crystals to keep themselves running for two months, they calculate how much they will need. Doing this ensures that the price of energy doesn’t rise too quickly."

Haru kept looking at Masaru, his muscles glistened because of the sweat and all the lighting from the floor’s artificial sun.

"What if we got it wrong?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Until now, we only considered that Himura wanted to destroy the guilds and cause some problems for the energy company, that was something fairly obvious, but what if that’s not it?"

Masaru paid attention to what he was saying.

"What if everything is a plan by Himura and the energy company to create a bubble, or just by him, that possibility still exists."

"A bubble?"

"A price bubble," Haru replied.
