《Earn Money and Level Up!》


 Chapter 1

    A world-class virtual reality game with hundreds and millions of players.


    Paradise Seeker.


    I was one of the many dark gamers.


    The most important thing for a dark gamer is money but you can¡¯t make a lot of money from fighting.


    That¡¯s my conclusion.


    How do I know?


    Because I am a regressor.


    My one-room apartment was in such an impoverished position that I had to squeeze through a cramped alley to get home.


    On the way, a piece of cement from the construction area nearby fell on my head, and when I opened my eyes, I was brought back to three years ago.


    What just happened?


    Well, that doesn¡¯t matter.


    What¡¯s important is that I have memories of three years into the future.


    Only results are important in this world.


    The ¡®why¡¯ and ¡®how¡¯ does not matter.


    And I¡¯ve decided.


    In this life, I will bet my life on Paradise Seeker.


    Harang sat in his room, deeply burrowed in thought.


    ¡®I need to make the most out of my three years worth of memories.¡¯


    My future failures need to be corrected from the very beginning.


    Thus, I need to analyze the cause of my failures before my reincarnation.


    After a few minutes of pondering, Harang dismissed it with a sentence.


    ¡®Because I chose combat. That¡¯s why I failed.¡¯


    The reason for Harang¡¯s thinking was simple.


    ¡®Just like during warfare. There are countless opportunities, but what we earn counterbalances what we consume.¡¯


    Harang gave an example.


    ¡®You can¡¯t make money even if you catch monsters and get good items.¡¯


    Why?


    Suppose a Ranker Warrior got a legendary sword worth 100 million.


    But will that Ranker Warrior sell that sword?


    No one does that!


    Harang himself wouldn¡¯t do it either.


    The reason was simple.


    ¡®To not be left behind.¡¯


    If a ranker gets a sword worth 100 million, he must use it on himself.


    And what if you earn a sword worth 200 million while using the original sword? Shouldn¡¯t you just sell 100 million and take the money?


    Wrong.


    You should sell the sword worth 100 million, but you shouldn¡¯t exchange it for money yet because you need to sell the sword worth 200 million and buy an even better sword.


    Only then can you ¡®maintain¡¯ your ranking.


    All rankers have an obsession¡ª to make sure their ranking never gets pushed back.


    Casual users often consider it pathetic, but it¡¯s true.


    It was not uncommon for hundreds of billions of dollars to be pushed into real estate.


    ¡®The key to success for combatants was to spend money. Endlessly.¡¯


    This revelation was from Harang¡¯s actual experience.


    The reasoning of the world was simple if only you change your viewpoint a little.


    If there are people who use goods, then there are people who make money.


    When the army uses guns and bullets, who makes money?


    The answer is obvious.


    ¡®A weapon company.¡¯


    Users divided the Paradise Seeker¡¯s job groups into two major categories.


    ¡®Combat jobs¡¯ and ¡®Production jobs¡¯.


    Harang saw it differently.


    ¡®Consumer¡¯ and ¡®Production¡¯.


    Consuming goods and producing goods.


    It is self-evident which of the two makes money.


    ¡®In this life, I¡¯ll focus on the production sector.¡¯


    But of course, at the top of the ranks, the story is a little different.


    Harang decided.


    There was another job he had in mind.


    ¡®How should he get that job?¡¯


    He checked his bank balance.


    30,000,000 won.


    Foremost, he had to correct one of the first mistakes he made in the past.


    ¡®I used to go to the capsule room because I thought it was a waste of money to buy virtual reality capsules.¡¯


    However, the value of attending a capsule room for 3 years has largely exceeded the cost of one capsule.


    Having decided, it was time to move. Harang immediately got up and headed for the capsule shop.


    ¡ªAt the Capsule Shop¡ª


    ¡°13 million won. Payment has been made.¡±


    The entry-level virtual reality capsule cost 12.5 million won, and another 500,000 won was used for immediate delivery and installation.


    Usually, it would take 2-3 days without extra payment.


    Harang didn¡¯t regret his actions.


    ¡®Because those 2-3 days are worth 50 million won.¡¯


    As Harang meticulously calculated the opportunity cost, he wrote a contract and left the capsule shop.


    While installers installed capsules in the room, Harang cleared the shelves of a convenience store, buying large amounts of instant noodles.


    ¡®I¡¯ll seclude myself in my room at least for a week.¡¯


    Of course, he would also exercise from time to time.


    ¡®My second mistake is that I was playing games and working at the same time, and as a result, nothing got done.¡¯


    But now, I¡¯m willing to bet my life on the game.

 Chapter 2

    ¡®I have decided.¡¯


    Time is ticking.


    He spent nearly half my fortune on the capsule, so he¡¯ll have to make a decent profit in the next 5-7 days.


    ¡®Making a profit in 5-7 days.¡¯


    Soon, the installation engineers finished installing the capsule.


    ¡°Well done.¡±


    ¡°Yes~ Have fun~!¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    They had to move out the bed to fit the capsule in such a tight space, but it doesn¡¯t matter. He¡¯ll sleep in the capsule anyway.


    Since it was a low-end type of capsule, it was uncomfortable to sleep in, but he can bear with it.


    To get what you want, sacrifice is inevitable.


    ¡®And you have to keep moving.¡¯


    Harang quickly cut off the price tag of Paradise Seeker.


    99,000 won per month.


    That was the price of playing Paradise Seeker.


    And while Rudys Co., Ltd. makes astronomical money every month, he could earn that too.


    It couldn¡¯t happen in his previous life, but it is possible now.


    ¡®Paradise Seeker is a game with infinite possibilities, and I also have memories of my past life and having memories of a past life means knowing what to do at the right time.¡¯


    ¡®Now I¡¯m correcting the third mistake.¡¯


    The third mistake.


    ¡®It was that I started Paradise Seeker later than others.¡¯


    Harang immediately entered the game without needing any guides whatsoever.


    ¡®I know everything.¡¯


    He adjusted his appearance.


    ¡®Let¡¯s just change the hair and eye color a little.¡¯


    It was the same character that Harang made in his previous life.


    ¡°Remy.¡±


    [You will set the nickname to ¡®Remy¡¯]


    [Yes?] [No?]


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Next is to select the region to start with.


    ¡°Start in Carlton Village.¡±


    Each village in the beginners¡¯ area had its own characteristics, but Harang, no, ¡®Remy¡¯s¡¯ starting point had to be more impressive.


    ¡®I have to choose a job that makes the most of my memories.¡¯


    It is in the town of Carlton


    In the woods near the village of Carlton, to be exact.


    Here, a legendary class is hidden.


    Soon, Remy was created in the beginner zone.


    ¡®In my previous life, I started in Carlton Village. Therefore, I remember the terrain and location to some extent.¡¯


    As he moved, the guide NPC approached.


    ¡°Are you a newcomer?¡±


    Remy wasn¡¯t the only new user; when several people logged in at the same time, they were summoned together.


    Remy nodded.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    One had to be as nice to the NPCs as possible.


    ¡®Sometimes, there are cases where hidden quests are given, or more quest rewards are given than expected.¡¯


    One player asked the guide NPC, ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Decide it yourself.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yes?¡±


    ¡°There are facilities prepared for beginner adventurers over there, so go and do what you want.¡±


    It was a rather unfriendly type of NPC.


    ¡®Well, the Carlton Town Guide was always like that.¡¯


    The level of NPC artificial intelligence was the same as that of real people. Therefore, all of them were different.


    There was no law that all NPCs would be equally friendly.


    Players were dumbfounded by the guide NPC¡¯s attitude, but soon, they got over it and started to look for the things they wanted to do.


    ¡°Shall we go to the training ground?¡±


    ¡°We can also go hunting; that¡¯s what RPG games are for, no?¡±


    ¡°Who wants to form a party?¡±


    Most of them ran straight to the store to buy weapons, but Remy was different.


    ¡®I¡¯ll practice with the training dolls first.¡¯


    ¡®There¡¯s a hidden skill that raises all of one¡¯s stats when you level up with a training doll.¡¯


    But this will only be known about a year and a half from now.


    After that fact became known, Rankers, who valued their stats, regretted that they had not trained and leveled up using those dolls earlier when they were still beginners.


    Some of them deliberately went to the beginner¡¯s house and fought the dolls, but since they were already at a very high level, the rankers couldn¡¯t level up.


    It was more difficult than raiding the boss monster alone.


    For beginners as well, it was difficult. They practiced with dolls daily, and although even selling those dolls off gave experience, the amount was way too little.


    So minuscule that Harang didn¡¯t even know that hitting a doll increases his experience.


    ¡®Practice combat with the training dolls.¡¯ This has always been on the ¡®user tip¡¯ board, but no one is interested.


    ¡°Oh, are you going to the training ground?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°The skills you gain comes from training. If you keep training with dolls, you¡¯ll get more experience, so please have patience and be sincere.¡±


    ¡°I understand.¡±
