Chapter 283 Farming on Mars (3)
“Wow, this guy is pretty good, huh?”
Ha Su-young’s mouth watered as she watched the wide-area provocation video uploaded by CTW2022.
“You’re quite good at drawing aggro. I can’t help but want to hit you in the eye.”
“Master, the plan was given by a CTW2022 user, but everything else was created by me.”
“The fact that you even thought of this kind of plan is already amazing. I want to know what kind of person you are.”
“Shall I ask you something? I would be very honored if the Master were curious.”
“Just ask me.”
“Yes. I got a reply that it was okay to tell them. They bowed down, saying it would be an honor to their family. Would you like to try video chatting?”
“Connect with him. If he’s okay with it.”
“All right.”
After a while, a video chat was opened between the two people through Freedom.
It’s not that we exchanged phone numbers; Freedom just temporarily opened a channel.
On the screen, a young man wearing a naval uniform and a single seagull insignia appeared with a very excited look on his face.
“Victory! Sergeant Choi Tae-woong! It’s an honor to meet you, Admiral!”
“Ah, sure. What, was it the Navy?”
“Sergeant Choi Tae-woong! That’s right!”
“Let’s skip the chanting, salutes, and names and just talk comfortably, because the conversation is getting messy.”
“All right.”
Choi Tae-woong immediately changed his speech to a comfortable mode without losing his politeness.
“I heard you’re the only user who started in the Goldilocks zone.”
“Yes! It’s all thanks to the care of the Admiral!”
“No, well. I haven’t played anything. I just know that it’s a farming game, but I don’t know much else. Anyway, is the game playable?”
“Yes! I’m enjoying my days in comfort and luxury! In particular, the resolution of the VR goggles is so good that I feel like I’m walking through real fields and mountains!”
“Hey, no matter how good the VR hardware is, it can’t keep up with reality. The field of view at the edges will be narrow, and it’ll be uncomfortable in many ways.”
“They say that wearing the Cheongdam Scope glasses version will open up a whole new world. I also want to earn a lot of money later and wear the Cheongdam Scope glasses version!”
“Okay, okay. A man needs to have that much ambition to be in the Navy. Freedom, Cheongdam Scope, do you have anything left? I’d like to rent it for a little while to motivate you.”
“Unfortunately, we currently have no availability. All of our customers have already decided on a buyer, or reservations are pending for a year.”
“Even though I am the owner, I cannot commit reservation fraud. It won’t work.”
“It is important for Professor Rohan to complete the Lab Factory City project as soon as possible.”
A global advanced research and production complex, aka the Universal Lab Factory City, built with a budget of 2 trillion dollars.
However, because speculative forces had set up shop all over the country in anticipation of rising land prices, they were unable to even properly secure land.
“Anyway, in this country, if you try to do something, everyone threatens you with land, so it’s a headache. In times like this, if we had a large land area like the US, we wouldn’t have to worry. Oh, let’s talk about that later. Sergeant Choi Tae-woong, did you make a lot of money?”
“Yes! I made nearly 2 billion by selling fish items! It’s all thanks to you, Master!”
“I didn’t earn as much as I expected. What is your palm oil figure?”
“The current farm value is a little over 1 billion. However, I spent a lot of HA on buying farmland. First, you need to increase the farmland sufficiently to earn a lot of HA in the long run. Prime Farm can only be used if you have both HA and farm value.”
“Well, what’s your family’s finances like? Are you rich or poor?”
In normal circumstances, this would be a very rude question.
However, the commander gave him a lump sum of 49.5 million won as compensation for his 1 year and 6 months of service as a private, gave him two months of vacation after discharge, and hired him as a non-commissioned officer with very good conditions: a starting salary of 33 million won plus allowances.
“I’m a bit poor. So after finishing my military service, I applied to be a Navy petty officer without hesitation and am currently serving on the Nimitz aircraft carrier!”
“Well, actually, except for about a hundred people, all modern people are poor. Strictly speaking, it seems like everyone except the professor who didn’t save anyone is poor. So don’t feel too bad.”
“No! That’s not true at all! The Admiral, who also serves as the Chief of the Navy Honorary Military Personnel Division, has given us so much in the way of training allowances, departure allowances, risk allowances, etc. that our household finances are now in good shape!”
“Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, fish in Europe and the US now cost millions of won per fish, right?”
“Yes! It seemed like that!”
If one costs millions of won, it is hard for the average person to understand.
Who would pay that kind of money to buy that?
But for the super-rich, whose assets run into the hundreds of millions of dollars (trillions of billions of won), it’s money they’re willing to pay.
“Our Sergeant Choi Tae-woong was lucky enough to have a good starting point, but there’s no guarantee that another competitor won’t emerge in the future, right?”
“Ah! I see!”
“So, when you have a monopoly on the market, save up enough money to live comfortably until you are 10 years old. That way, you won’t feel bad even if a competitor appears later. Cash out about 100 billion won and continue to stockpile palm oil, or something.”
“Okay! I will follow your advice, Commander! Thank you!”
“I’ll visit the Nimitz carrier later, so don’t pretend not to know.”
“Oh, it is an honor! Your Majesty!”
Freedom said after hanging up the phone.
“But Master, in my opinion, other than Choi Tae-woong, I don’t think there will be any other users who will start in Myuran. I also never imagined that there would be a user who would start in Myuran.”
“What are the odds?”
“It’s about 1 in 10 trillion. It’s a very unlikely chance for an average person to win. J
“One in ten trillion. My father chose me as his adopted son because of that probability. I wonder where he is wandering in the universe now.”
“But are you sure you really left Earth?”
“I don’t know. Maybe he pretended to leave and was hiding all this time. Maybe he even cut off the Milky Way communication for fear of being found out.”
Ha Su-young stretched.
“A 1 in 10 trillion chance is 100% for me, but isn’t it 0% for the average person?”
“That’s right. It’s a high number only for a Master who receives the protection of the Probability God.”
“What about the protection of the God of Probability? I once played with the God of Probability, you idiot.”
“Oh, is that so? Let me correct that.”
“Anyway, since I won against a 0% chance, I fully deserve to enjoy that luck. But what’s 2 billion? 2 billion? That’s too timid.”
“User Choi Tae-woong grew up in poverty, so he thinks very little about money. The Master’s guidance was truly appropriate.”
“Please unfold the personal information. Let me take a look.”
“Yes, Master.”
As the owner of the Palm Bus operating company, I cannot access the information of individual users.
However, as a naval admiral, you can access Petty Officer Choi Tae-woong’s personal information at any time.
He also holds the position of Honorary Chief of Staff, who manages logistics and personnel for the entire Navy.
“You must have had a hard time growing up under a single mother. Wait a minute, you had two younger siblings in elementary school? Why on earth did you drag a friend like this into the military?”
“Before the Master’s intervention, the Korean Navy was underdeveloped. But now it has been reborn as an advanced navy.”
“Anyway, the Army is the problem. We need to quickly disband those oversized Army guys.”
“If we proceed hastily, a coup d’état may occur.”
“That’s right. The president was from the Army, right? Then it wouldn’t be easy to touch the Army.”
“He is also the most likely candidate to become the Prime Minister of the new cabinet system under the new constitution that will come into effect on the last day of this presidential term.”
The ROK Navy receives the Freedom’s signature mark from four-star generals to privates.
This is a policy implemented under the direction of the Admiralty.
Because of this, acts of cruelty, military disruption, and sexual crimes could not have occurred in the first place.
Since Ha Su-yeong took office as Marshal, the suicide rate of the Korean Navy has remained at 0, and has been the envy of the soldiers, junior officers, and non-commissioned officers of the Army and Air Force.
“Now that I think about it, let’s do a full-scale investigation of the Navy. We need to see how many soldiers were just brought in without considering their family circumstances.”
“Based on my standards, 82 people should be discharged from the military immediately. I’ll give you the information.”
Ha Su-yeong clicked his tongue after reviewing the personal information of the 82 marines and sailors.
“Why on earth are these guys trying to bring in the military? Connect me to Brigadier General Kim Jun-ki.”
“Understood, Master.”
Commodore Kim Jun-gi was a member of the Naval Admiralty and was Ha Su-yeong’s direct aide.
“I’m Brigadier General Kim Jun-ki of Communication Security! Loyalty!”
“Yes. Brigadier General Kim Jun-gi. I will send you the personal information of 82 soldiers right now, so send them on leave immediately at the discretion of the Navy Admiral. Looking at this, it seems like you brought in kids whose family circumstances do not allow them to join the military.”
“All right!”
“First, we’ll take emergency measures and prepare medical measures. Before that, let the soldiers know that if they want, we can immediately assign them to the Ocean Fleet. Tell them to go on vacation and think about it slowly.”
“I understand! I think all soldiers from poor families will probably accept it! Even now, there are many inquiries from those below the rank of corporal about changing to a career non-commissioned officer!”
**
Choi Tae-woong hung up the phone and took a deep breath, unable to control his burning heart.
‘I’m talking to the Great Leader.’
There is a saying in the military that a soldier’s main enemy is his officers.
But at least the Admiral doesn’t fall into any of those categories.
Although he has completed three weeks of military training, he understands and cares for the soldiers better than anyone else.
Everyone in the Navy deeply respects Ha Su-yeong because he supports the soldiers by spending an astronomical amount of his own money.
It was a natural naval culture to always call him Marshal even when he was not present.
‘This is advice from someone who changed my life.’
Choi Tae-woong’s family was poor. So he had many worries when he enlisted.
I was worried about what I would do to live after I was discharged from the military, but thanks to the lump sum payment of 49.5 million won I received when I was transferred to a non-commissioned officer position and the regular monthly salary, I no longer have to worry too much.
Here, the possibility of eating rice with palm trees was opened, and even a policy guarantee was made that the kitchen where rice was eaten would not be included in the game under the original name.
‘Yeah, what’s the point of just foolishly saving up? Let’s first secure enough cash.’
The reason I didn’t spend all my money to buy all the fish items was because I had a strategy of securing enough farmland in the beginning so that I could collect more HA and farm values later.
So I sold only as much as I needed (that was about 2 billion won).
“Okay. Freedom, let’s sell everything except 10% of my palm stats and turn them into fish.”
“You know that you need both HA and farm value to use Prime Farm, right? Even if you want to use all the farm value now, you can’t because you don’t have enough HA. You used it all up to buy farmland, right?”
“Damn. How much HA do I have now?”
“Currently, there are about 300 million HA. These days, the price of grain has dropped a lot, so even though I increased my farmland, my income is not satisfactory.”
“Then I’ll use all 300 million HA and 300 million Palms to buy fish items.”
“You have to think about the cost of running the farm. You have to set aside 100 million HA. You can only buy 200 million worth.”
“Then do that. You take care of cashing it out yourself.”
“Okay, I’ll try to get you a good price.”
Fish items vary by type, but are usually distributed in the thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Large fish such as tuna can number in the millions or tens of millions.
I heard that the price reflects the actual price of fish in Korea.
To buy a 10,000 HA fish, you must pay 10,000 HA and 10,000 palm oil at the same time.
Choi Tae-woong thought that it would take several months to use up all 200 million HA.
But after about two hours… … .
“200 million HA and 200 million palm oil have all been used up.”
“What? Already?”
“You’ve got buyers from all over the world, so it’s quick. You’ve earned $123.5 million.”
“Wait? It’s dollars instead of won? Then how much is it?”
“123.5 billion won. You faithfully carried out the Marshal’s recommendation in just two hours.”
“…….”
Choi Tae-woong was frozen in shock at the shocking numbers that did not feel real at all.
I was even scared.
He finally woke up from his stiffness and asked stammeringly.
“How much money does a swimming pool make?”
