Chapter 30. Midas
Penalty items were only occasionally found in dungeons, so they were rarely available for sale. In this case, there was a large stockpile because it was a market.
Regardless, even the most well-supplied stores or guilds would only have a few of these items at most. Hence, seeing dozens of penalty items listed in one place was such a breath of fresh air.
"What’s up with these, though? Did some research lab put these up for sale?" Kim Do-Joon wondered aloud.
Ever since the World Tree appeared, countless research projects sprung up everywhere. Maybe a lab researching penalty items had to close for some reason, so they decided to sell their inventory. That was the only logical explanation he could come up with.
"Well, these items are registered under a personal brand," Evi commented.
That information wasn’t particularly helpful.
"The seller is currently online. Would you like me to connect him with you?" Evi offered.
"Wait, really?" Kim Do-Joon asked, looking interested.
"Yes. The seller’s status indicator is green.”
Normally, he’d just press the purchase button and be done with it. Then again, there was no harm in meeting the seller. They could have other items for sale that weren’t listed.
"If it’s registered under a brand, does it have an official site?" Kim Do-Joon asked.
