Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

57

Minhyuk called Park Kwangnam.

He was the old man who used to live next door in the Gosiwon.

Park Kwangnam had run a private business in Vietnam for over 10 years.

In the end, he failed miserably and returned to Korea.

Minhyuk was in a situation where he had to go to either Laos or Vietnam to find mugwort.

So he contacted him because he had lived in Vietnam for a long time.

-Hello, Choi Minhyuk!

Park Kwangnam answered the phone cheerfully.

“Are you doing well?”

-Me? I’m always the same. But what’s up?

“Sir, would you like to go to Vietnam?”

-Vietnam? I’m a complete expert on that place.

“That’s why I contacted you.”

-I’d like to go there again after a long time too. But I’m not in a position to do that right now.

Park Kwangnam, who had been a credit delinquent, had undergone a personal rehabilitation procedure for several years and had now restored his credit.

However, he was still living hand-to-mouth.

He worked as a day laborer at a construction site to earn his living.

“I’m not going to play, but to work. I’ll pay for the plane ticket, accommodation, meals, and there’s a salary too. 300,000 won per day.”

Minhyuk wanted to pay Park Kwangnam as much as possible.

After his father passed away and he was left alone in the world, it often felt like everyone around him was an enemy.

So he always kept his heart locked away.

However, the old man next door was different.

He often felt warmth from him.

But if he paid him too much, the old man would think it was strange, so he offered him a little more than the daily wage of a construction day laborer.

-What kind of work is it that you’re paying 300,000 won per day?

“Someone I know said they need mugwort. They said it would be easy to find if I went to Vietnam.”

-Delggakju? Why are you going all the way there to buy that? You can just order it from a Chinese online shopping mall and have it shipped.

“I need a lot of it.”

-How much do you need?

Karon’s potion pouch was an item that greatly increased defense.

Of course, it would be great if he could supply it to all of his soldiers.

However, even if he went to Vietnam, it would be impossible to buy tens of thousands of North Korean bottles of alcohol.

So, for now, he would only supply it to the soldiers he would take to the Helkan Mountains.

Since if he were to encounter it without a weapon that could kill the dragon, he would have to withstand it with defense.

He planned to form an expedition of about 1,000 people to depart for the Helkan Mountains.

So, he needed at least 1,000 bottles of Delggakju.

“About 1,000 bottles.”

-That much? You can’t get that much shipped.

“That’s why I’m going to Vietnam to buy it myself.”

-You can easily get that much locally. You can buy hundreds of bottles just by going around North Korean restaurants. You can buy the rest at a large mart.

There were restaurants operated by North Korea in Vietnam, China, Russia, Laos, and Cambodia.

Although North Korean restaurants in China did not accept Koreans, North Korean restaurants in Vietnam allowed Korean tourists or local Koreans to enter and eat or buy North Korean specialties like Delggakju.

-But how are you going to bring it back to Korea later? You won’t be able to bring that much in.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

-Really?

Even though he said not to worry, Park Kwangnam couldn’t help but be curious.

He asked Minhyuk with a serious tone.

-Minhyuk-ah, are you involved in a smuggling organization?

Minhyuk answered Park Kwangnam’s question by going a step further.

“You got it! In this sh*tty world, when can I pay off my debt and buy my own house if I work for minimum wage? I have to smuggle.”

Chuckle-

Park Kwangnam replied with a laugh.

-I see. I guess I’ll visit Vietnam again after a long time.

In fact, Park Kwangnam guessed that Minhyuk was not involved in a smuggling organization.

It wasn’t gold or drugs, but Delggakju.

And only 1,000 bottles.

Who would plan such a small-scale, organized smuggling operation?

It was probably just someone who ran a North Korean restaurant and was trying to save on customs duties by bringing in North Korean alcohol.

Well, that was illegal too.

-Are you and I going to Vietnam together?

“For now, can you go first and secure the Delggakju?”

After thinking about it carefully, there was no need for the two of them to move together.

If Park Kwangnam went to Vietnam first and gathered the supplies, Minhyuk could just go later with a refrigerator and pack it.

“Once you’ve secured the supplies, I’ll leave for Vietnam right away.”

-It would be fun if we left together. But then again, we’re not going there to play.

“If you give me your passport number, I’ll book the plane tickets and hotel. When can you leave?”

-I can leave tomorrow if needed.

“Then I will book a plane ticket for tomorrow. Shall I prepare the cash in Vietnamese Dong?”

To buy things in a foreign country, you need to have the local currency or US dollars.

-Prepare it in dollars. Those North Korean kids love dollars.

Suddenly, Min-hyeok became curious.

What would happen if he put a bundle of $100 bills in the refrigerator?

If it transformed into something easy to obtain, it would become Min-hyeok’s cash cow along with the bundle of 10,000 won bills.

“Let’s meet up for dinner later. I will prepare the dollars for you.”

-Okay, contact me when you’re ready.

As soon as Min-hyeok hung up the phone, he immediately drove his truck to the currency exchange office closest to his house.

In the past, he would have looked for a place that offered a good exchange rate, even if it was far away.

But not anymore.

Time is more important than money.

Thud-

After driving for about 20 minutes, he arrived at his destination.

He parked his truck on the side of a quiet road and went into the currency exchange office.

“Welcome.”

“I’d like to exchange Korean won for US dollars.”

“I can help you with that. How much do you need?”

“$10,000.”

Min-hyeok presented his ID and purchased $10,000 in US currency.

He actually needed $50,000.

However, he only prepared one bundle for now to put in the refrigerator.

The employee handed Min-hyeok a crisp bundle of $100 bills and a receipt.

Min-hyeok returned to his truck.

And put the bundle of $100 bills in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Pop-

He returned to the underground labyrinth with a dazzling flash.

He hurriedly checked his inventory.

Wow-

Something incredibly absurd was inside.

＜Christina’s Hair＞

-Hair of Princess Astelle Christina.

-Can be used as a wig material.

The bundle of $100 bills had turned into a single strand of the princess’s hair.

Just then, the princess climbed the ladder and entered the secret room.

She looked at the vial of Carron’s potion in Min-hyeok’s hand and said,

“So the legend was true! And to think that Emperor Marcus’s treasure was hidden under the palace…”

Min-hyeok saw her in a completely different light.

Her blonde hair felt like real gold.

The number of hairs on a person’s head varies, but on average, it’s around 80,000 to 100,000.

The princess had an unusually large amount of hair.

If we assume that she had at least 100,000 hairs, then one strand would be worth $10,000…

‘A billion dollars!’

It was worth more than 100 billion won in Korean currency.

“Excuse me… can I have a few strands of your hair?”

The princess looked flustered by Minhyuk’s sudden request.

“What?”

“Just a few. About five strands?”

“Wait a minute.”

The princess was acting strangely, but since it was Minhyuk asking, she figured there must be a special reason.

She spread her fingers and combed through her hair several times.

A few strands of hair gathered together.

Minhyuk received them from the princess.

“Thank you!”

He put the princess’s hair in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

BAM-

With a blinding flash, he was transported back to the truck’s cargo bay.

He opened the refrigerator and saw seven bundles of $100 bills inside.

He had just made $70,000 in an instant.

He wouldn’t bother checking if they were counterfeit.

The Japanese actress’s autograph had been real, so there was no way the dollars were fake.

‘Perfect!’

If he kept the princess with him, he could get his hands on US dollars whenever he wanted.

However,

The refrigerator didn’t only contain dollars.

There was also a strange object that he had never seen before.

At first glance, it looked like a rock, but it wasn’t.

It was a large lump with a strange smell.

When he returned to the other world to check, he saw that some of the princess’s hair that had been damaged and broken had turned into this unidentified lump.

‘What is this?’

Anyway, it wasn’t important, so he decided to figure it out later.

.

.

.

Minhyuk met Park Kwang-nam at a coffee shop and handed him $50,000.

“If you need more, please let me know.”

“This is enough.”

“But I thought you can’t take more than $10,000 in cash when going abroad?”

Originally, if you were going to leave the country with more than $10,000 in cash, you had to separately file an export declaration at the airport.

“Don’t worry, I’m an expert at this.”

“How long do you think it will take to collect 1,000 bottles of Dolsot?”

“Two or three days should be enough.”

“Alright. I’ll be waiting for your call.”

“Then, I’ll see you in Vietnam.”

Minhyuk parted ways with Kwangnam Park and returned home.

‘Now, all that’s left is to wait.’

He had already confirmed that he could check the refrigerator as checked baggage on the plane.

If the sum of the length, width, and height is less than 203 cm and the weight is less than 32 kg, you can check it with just an excess baggage fee without prior consultation with the airline.

Minhyuk’s mini-fridge had a total length of 190 cm and weighed 27 kg.

So, there was no problem taking it abroad.

About 50 bottles of Dolsot would easily fit in the mini-fridge.

To transport 1,000 bottles to the other world, he only had to make the round trip 20 times.

So, he didn’t necessarily need a large refrigerator for this task.

‘What should I do until I get the call?’

Once he crossed over to the other world, time in this world would stop.

So, for the old man to continue collecting Dolsot, Minhyuk had to stay in this world.

So, he would finally rest for a few days and recharge.

However,

‘What was that again?’

He suddenly remembered the strange object in the refrigerator.

The unidentified mass that the princess’s severed hair had transformed into.

‘Could it be that?’

A substance that Minhyuk had once seen on a foreign topic program came to mind.

Thud thud thud-

He ran out of the house and got in the driver’s seat of the truck.

Boom-

He drove the car toward Seoul.

.

.

.

The place Minhyuk arrived at was a perfume specialty store in a bustling shopping district.

This store also handled perfume materials so that customers could make their own perfume.

Minhyuk showed the unidentified mass to the perfume specialist.

“Could this be ambergris?”

Ambergris is an animal-based fragrance that is produced in the intestines of sperm whales and is known to be expensive.

It costs about 40 to 50 million won per kg, so it is called the lottery of the sea.

There are rare cases of people turning their lives around after picking up dozens of kilograms of ambergris while walking along the beach.

“Would you mind if I ran a test?”

“Go ahead.”

The perfumer took a small piece from the lump that Minhyuk had brought and dissolved it in alcohol.

Then, after mixing it with other fragrances and smelling it, he exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s ambergris! And it’s the highest quality!”

As expected, the unidentified object was ambergris.

The lump that Minhyuk had brought weighed over 5 kg.

It was worth over 200 million won.

“Where did you get this?”

To the perfumer’s question, Minhyuk answered with a grin.

“I picked it up at the beach.”

Finally, he had found a way to create cash with a clear source.
