Chapter 43: Scammer (4)
MgUIThe gallery can be used regardless of age, gender, or social status.LAyQ2kw
QDlZHBThis, together with anonymity, often acts as both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness.Ghloli
dUIbeEspecially, it is quite common for “scammers” to commit all kinds of fraud through the gallery.eMB
36nN4AuTitle) Ah. Damn, I got scammed.Yeci68j
t8KDQZI bought what looked like good wild ginseng at the auction house, but it turned out to be normal ginseng, you son of a bitch hahaj5Hc
qpfLyFㄴYou too? Me too!dFt
KY5ㄴNormal ginseng and wild ginseng look quite similar hahaUMY
ynAD6FxㄴThis son of a bitch deleted it immediatelygtLX
ZkvWhile 1-to-1 transactions are only possible between registered accounts, the auction house can be used by all users.f1ZZjE
irUThat is why there are many criminals, that is, scammers who feel no shame in taking advantage of others.ItlvIh
wP5Especially when it comes to large amounts of money, most people suspect it as a scam.ATJEG
KTDVjBecause most scammers look for a quick hit.XHEsa2J
Jit5QEThere is no choice but to be suspicious.hhpdPXE
2X7ㄴWhy do those bastard scammers scam? In the end, they can’t even withdraw the money from the gallery.WPeffa
SFYGmsㄴThey buy other items with that money. There’s everything there.wfTGR
Y3PpefMㄴThe advantage of ignoring distribution is huge. You can easily get things from other countries.UeYfI36
OKQ3ㄴDon’t they get banned?zYTzq
ruEBㄴYes, they do get banned, but it depends on the moderator’s judgment. Some are told “it was just that haha” and don’t get bannedwTHr
QgsEㄴAt least the current moderator is better. He permanently bans scammers without hesitationiNZJ
FuxENㄴWhat if someone is innocent?Mw2SO
tvZinvmㄴThen let them resolve it among themselvesw5i6
ukOFortunately, while HeroDontThrowAway held the role of moderator, scammers were punished.UtS5f
o1tDwrEven if it was a small scam, it was not forgiven.fkL
dMkA permanent ban was always applied as an exemplary punishment.q2Xd
kxEHowever, bans are not applied thoughtlessly.C7xAVb
OQ2N5CIf the involved parties reached an amicable agreement, they were forgiven.HuSFt
1LEvmgWhat mattered was whether they repented or not.3TaC492
51zXZKThat was the second most important thing after verifying the truth.cLoHE
khsThanks to that, scammer activity decreased considerably, but it did not disappear.HaT49
HbR1STitle) This bastard with a registered account. He’s a scammer. Don’t believe him.Yl6BwS
Cguvi(Photo of a strange plant)jQPOVdP
krfkswI planted this with a seed I bought for 1000 gold. I thought it was a rare plant, but it wasn’t, you son of a bitchknRNP
e37grZㄴUah;; what is that? A nepenthes? Why does the flower have teeth? hahagMDnyQ
Mb2xzlbㄴNepenthes don’t have teeth. What the hell is that?wJCi
dzgO4fnㄴAllFather) It is a plant-type monster that only grows in Mephisto, called Desmeros. How did you cultivate it?YLd
9sARWPzㄴDamn, it was a monster lol8MRs
M81ㄴIs the author still alive?X38F
34YCYA4Those who want to scam, scam, and the scale and methods became more malicious.6GzV
dPgwpThat registered accounts do not scam?UGhL4Se
8brThat’s complete bullshit.Y3EHr
cop5SEThere are people everywhere who even create registered accounts just to pull off a scam.Mhv2Z4l
bIx32Moreover, the money from an auction is deposited immediately.NC1
8bNThat is related to the gallery system, so the moderator cannot do anything about it.edyQBC
QaOThat is why, in auctions, especially bids, one must be extremely careful.t3edF2p
z1tticMost people usually bid small amounts and avoid large ones.TfW9ra
YVVdUnless it is an account with a lot of reputation, it is rare to see high bids.nYjOCH
WyjyTitle) What happens if the moderator scams?pEgzucy
6xgfqfhThat’s itIxWpt
uaY9TsLㄴIt’s not common, but about 100 years ago there was a scammer moderatorXqfOqV
U8JwgㄴIf it was 100 years ago haha it was probably a demon or an elf0VQI
Jr6vㄴIf I remember correctly, it was an elf. He scammed by selling leaves of the World Tree hahaSAtY
2LLOaWㄴAnd what happened then? It’s not easy to remove a moderator15d
ZcruㄴSimply no one bought the items the moderator posted. It seems he ended up dying scamming in real life and at some point the moderator was changeddPs
LNvT2ㄴHaha well deserved9Cm2K
eT6bVTThus, fraud in the gallery is a crime that cannot be eradicated even if one tries.OkLy
YeaThat is why gallery users react with extreme rejection when they see the word “scam.”9Hv9w
KnSIbA rumor that someone scammed, and even more so if it is a registered account, provokes criticism regardless of whether it is true or not.wxwL1n
06z8vEven if it is a false accusation caused by manipulation or fabrication.6TBl
iAaThat is the gallery.L6fEI
gVj“Heh… idiots.”jEkA
EZEA middle-aged man muttered.24xNdQV
84rcHe had the typical appearance and clothing of the central region.DNwv
C2CiGPYA beard that looked like that of a rat.Zm8Wx
Ew6Slanted eyes like those of a bird, giving a somewhat despicable impression.F6d6A
csViI“They are very easy to handle.”RRhzMv
pinDIn his field of vision was the gallery.AopZ
zhfThe list of posts filled with criticism and malice toward Grills.dRV3xne
hWUeX2A small post that he launched had caused this enormous reaction.aVuGa
FwJpINC‘He won’t be able to endure without seeking an agreement quickly.’YvC
ateWWHmThe man was a merchant.EBNqv
D0IoA small and ordinary merchant from the central region.OnwgN
qwEL4BBut this time, by winning the auction of an item posted by Grills, he obtained a great opportunity.fmYx
XnlmdHCrrrk—Fpz
jM0BbThe merchant looked away from the gallery and opened the desk drawer.USGJ
FTa3aIInside were several documents, along with a small ring box.xtIEMn
ocWq92Click.3FL8nke
WreWhen he carefully opened the box, a slight cold mist came out.ia6nU
eDcL4And inside, carefully stored, was a sphere emitting a bright red glow.UXP
XDXMYIt was the item the man had won in the gallery auction.DHk
vuymAn internal core.sM3
bmZZsld‘I never thought it would be a real internal core.’O3BWW0I
wfPRztBHe checked it several times.jdjcdNj
Ar4pxIt was definitely an internal core.I1fsO
1KCAlthough it was not a legendary one, it was at least at elixir level.ewEy
0bhIA6In terms of money, it could be worth at least 1000 taels of silver.pNvbRQ
6wkH‘Hehe. If I don’t say this, they have no way of knowing.’tHJ
pC94uzBut the merchant was very greedy.TdA
7wqxExtremely.sYEuan
neQHe was not satisfied with that and tried to recover the money he had spent.Q4QUx
WeONEven if Heavenly Demon certified it, she is considered an eccentric in the gallery.tuVE3
hFFm0Unless she proves that she is the “real Heavenly Demon,” her words have no value.0dWT
TabmBMh‘It is easy to manipulate and fabricate, but explaining is difficult.’A0L
C2uWPuMThe merchant also knew the gallery well.eLuwb0h
VCKjTOThat is why he understood its dual nature.axe
U6RUImtManipulation and fabrication are easily believed, but explanations are difficult.rVbi
qWNiMEven if it is explained, with this already on fire, it will be difficult for it to receive attention.36n2EI
8tcxFOZ‘If the moderator orders an agreement, he will have no choice but to accept.’LNTUFaR
IWTEspecially for Grills, the gallery is like his lifeline.4wX
vCe5ddWithout the gallery, his chances of surviving in the Forest of Four Seasons would drop drastically.QQt2pj
NNh3cfRather than explaining poorly and receiving a permanent ban, it would be better to accept an agreement.O8bsO
UVndvDLFrom that point of view, it is like putting a person’s life on the scale, but the merchant did not care.8vuzwOi
YzBeeB‘He is someone whose face I do not even know.’eujaIM
OfWhI8jA vile nature hidden behind anonymity.sqbSe83
t2TdWq2He felt no remorse at all.0kmwyRL
GHyIf he knew his face, it would be different, but in the gallery, kindness is a weakness.HCxlLh7
NKm8mmROf course, there is the possibility of a backlash if the truth is explained.ZMpoAm
AP1ulEven so, he did not care.jUt7l
FovFF‘At most, I’ll get a permanent ban.’ofo70
GDDP0fPWas the gallery really going to be more important than real life?iRBDQeU
FH3gB8For the merchant, the most important thing is money.rL92Z
ZDGp2GKAlthough it is a shame not being able to enjoy leisure, it does not matter.YYo3
QhBTHe can enjoy leisure with money.GOOfOwB
eagLThe merchant waited in high spirits.t9W
60SEtzNo matter what kind of explanation they gave, he was already prepared to respond.feC
46zg[What Grills gave me is indeed an internal core.]8rq8
weE“Hmm?”ZjGqY6e
6nSjX3He was refreshing nonstop when he saw a striking title.iTfQd
wKpWUIt was not just any user, but one of the famous gonic, Swordmaster.ByE
k1JYGaySince he could not ignore it, he entered immediately.p9hoPp
pu6HTitle) What Grills gave me is indeed an internal core.bXh

eIl(Photo of a golden sphere on the hand)ordpE
9khGrills found a new internal core and gave it to me.5M1W
Dn1oKThis is indeed an internal core.mCeU45N
opVPvㄴBut what? He found another internal core in that time?Glvn9
yti6dㄴWhat kind of internal core comes out like daily food? Haha now I believe it even less lolDlYw
KO2ㄴBecause it’s the Forest of Four Seasons maybe it’s possible?LiUh
XdGKTㄴEven if we don’t believe Heavenly Demon, that Swordmaster confirms it is another matterS2UGK3k
q7BQㄴThis time it’s golden. Did he catch a golden fish?Ahtba
fioSuTB“What?”Hpc9JDk
K7NThere was another internal core?4rJ
icEThe merchant’s eyes widened.iqYer
RhrLquHHe had not expected this at all.Ghzmkh4
VIEHe hurried to write a comment.7YIn
7YouㄴDon’t you think they made an agreement? Why does another internal core suddenly appear?kuWzMPM
3YoㄴAgreement on what? A kiss?D7dMCi
jRfdjYㄴAh, how indecent1qZ
WPKiYㄴThere’s no reason to make an agreement haha and does Swordmaster have any reason to lie?KuWCZ
DIuAㄴThat’s true haha she is the one who raised the average level of swordsmen on the continent haha4U1Qn
Z08ㄴHeavenly Demon said she could talk privately, she probably threatened him with thatUPg
riSoGRSㄴSo what if she threatens him? Doesn’t the moderator ban her?IZTFRhK
Pa9fsYㄴThis guy has a very poor imagination hahaNnO
xHIqjㄴLooking at the address next to it, it’s the same one who posted that Grills was a scammer7jYsH
CcJZnOㄴAre you shitting yourself? Hahaha6WzmP
XEfaBdBecause he rushed, he ended up losing.xk7Umc
iv5The merchant frowned.NrsBMu
tuDEgThat another internal core appeared was beyond expectations.qEno4
ddsHe hurried a bit, but soon calmed down.6B5e
FcbVThinking about it, there was no reason to rush.6As
vcNL7‘Anyway, I just have to insist that it was not a real internal core.’Svt3FIj
EuyFrom what it seems, the other side is also trying to win through manipulation and fabrication.PUHKk
n62The difference is that they mixed in some truth.DS8
CuANEven if the internal core that Swordmaster received is real, it does not mean that the one the merchant received is also real.YkQsJX
3soVwIf he holds firm until the end, this side has the advantage.EakU
OHxQHe just has to exploit the uncertainty until the end.MaOwr
nf27G[I will give an explanation.]7xda
NRCG‘Here it comes.’f6KON
I3lHAvJust as public opinion was beginning to split, a post from Grills appeared.cbME

CzpIf it is an internal core, you’re dead, and if it isn’t, I’ll return all your money.7yGW
eqgMOYou bastard, you’re doing pointless manipulation and causing a scene.ipv
dxhNUtA worm like you dares to scam, you son of a bitch.9N4F8SK

DnKqbㄴI’m poor and suddenly got hit…Mh7cCPB
XVmHpIt was not an explanation.uny
YReIt was just a post full of insults.w93h
Tny0rIn a normal place, that would have the opposite effect, but this is the gallery.zrJD
kvXtLfFThat kind of post, on the contrary, is perfect for gaining sympathy and trust.TXqu4G4
MtJ‘What, what, what is this guy?’ChG
Nf0caHe was supposed to have not been in the gallery for long.caM
rT4RTBut judging by how he writes, he seems like someone who has been active for years.uJz
auYMThe merchant was confused for a moment and then commented.N5SNC
PmHGHe could not back down here.dpik
JHY6vd9ㄴI’m the one who received the internal core, why should I reveal my address? How ridiculous hahayqjKzy

i5NoQoG‘Are they crazy? Reveal the address to die?’tvK
jW3YKMThat was impossible.F2NG4N5
M6L5The moment he revealed his address, his real life would be in danger.gMmqHu4
O9D3eeThe merchant deleted the post where he criticized Grills and closed the gallery.WNEG
72RqFDRIt seems he would have to wait for everything to calm down.Cjkk
lzlU‘What a shame. I could have made more money.’6SkXq
hptjAlthough it was a pity, causing more trouble would not change public opinion.wTz1S5F
ypDF9JIt would be better to sell that internal core.AVdO
GcOzHAbout 10 minutes later, the merchant cautiously entered the gallery.7K48IY
tuOcanpEven though he said he did not care about the gallery, in the end he was nothing more than another addict.nliAL
