I Gained a Gallery in the Wild - Eps 43 Swindler (4)
The gallery can be used by anyone, regardless of age, gender, or
status.
This, alongside anonymity, often functions as both the
gallery’s greatest strength and its greatest weakness.
Especially,
'scammers' quite frequently use various frauds through the Gallery.
Title:
Ah. Fuck, I got scammed.
There was good wild ginseng in the auction
house so I bought it, but it turned out to be cultivated ginseng fuck
ã„´
lolol you too? Me too!
ã„´ Ginseng and wild ginseng do look similar
lolol
ã„´ He deleted it right away, that fucking bastard
While
1-on-1 trades are only possible for fixed nicks, the auction house can be used
by all users.
That's why there are many criminals, that is, scammers
who feel no shame about backstabbing others.
Especially for
high-priced transactions, people usually suspect it’s a scam.
Because
scammers are mostly 'one-shot-deal' opportunists. You can't help but be
suspicious.
ã„´ Why do these scammer bastards even scam? It's not like
you can withdraw gallery money, right?
ã„´ They use that money to buy
other stuff. You can get pretty much everything here.
ã„´ The merit of
ignoring distribution is huge. You can easily get things from other countries
too.
ã„´ Don't they get ban?
ã„´ They do, but it's at the
mods' discretion. Some guy will be like, 'Just that?' and not get banned.
ã„´
At least the current mod is better. Scammers get insta-permabanned.
ã„´
Couldn't innocent people get caught?
ã„´ Then they have to sort it out
themselves.
Fortunately, while Don’tAbandonTheHero wore the badge,
scammers got hammered.
Even small-time scams weren't forgiven. They
unconditionally gave them a proper education with a permanent ban.
But
it wasn’t like bans were thrown around without thought. If parties reached an
amicable settlement, forgiveness was possible.
What mattered was
whether they reflected or not. This was the most important part after
determining the truth of the matter.
Thanks to this, the criminal
activities of scammers decreased considerably, but that wasn't always the
case.
Title: This fixed nick bastard. He's a scammer. Don't trust
it.
(Photo of bizarre plant)
This is what I grew from
seeds that were successfully bid for 1000 gold. Thought it was a rare plant but
it wasn't, fuck
ã„´ Ugh ;; What's that? Is it a Nepenthes? Why does
the flower have teeth lolol
ã„´ Nepenthes don't have teeth. What the
hell is that?
ã„´ AllFather) It's a plant-type monster called Desmeros
that only grows in Mephisto. How did you raise it?
ã„´ Fuck it was a
monster lolol
ã„´ Is the OP still alive?
Scammers kept
scamming, their methods growing more vicious.
Fixed nicks don't
commit fraud? That's all bullshit.
There are many people in the world
who sell even fixed nicks for a quick buck.
Moreover, the money in an
auction is deposited immediately.
This ties into the gallery system,
so not even the mod can interfere.
Therefore, you have to be very
careful with auctions, especially bidding.
Usually, most people bid
small amounts and tend to avoid high-priced items.
Unless it's a
fixed nicks with a high reputation, people rarely bid large amounts for
items.
Title: What if the mod scams?
TSIA (Title Says It
All)
ã„´ Such cases are rare, but there was a scammer mod about 100
years ago, right?
ã„´ 100 years ago lolol Must have been a demon or
elf.
ã„´ As I recall, it was an elf. Went around scamming people with
'World Tree leaves' lolol
ã„´ So what happened? Isn’t it hard to even
get rid of a mod?
ã„´ People just absolutely didn't buy items
registered by that mod. They probably died scamming in reality too, because the
mod changed at some point
ã„´ lolol serves them right
Thus,
scams in the gallery are a crime that cannot be eradicated, even if one wants
to.
Because of this, gallery users recoil at the very word ‘scam’.
Rumors
that someone committed fraud, and moreover that a fixed nicks committed fraud?
They criticized regardless of truth or falsehood.
Even if it was a
false accusation resulting from instigation and fabrication. That's just how the
gallery is.
"Tsk, tsk. Stupid bastad."
A certain
middle-aged man muttered.
The characteristic appearance and attire of
someone from the Central Plains. Mustache like those of a rat.
Eyes
slanted like a shrike’s, giving him a rather sly and nasty impression.
"They're
really easy to manipulate."
The gallery was spread out before his
eyes.
Post after post filled with blame and malice directed at
Grills.
A single small post shot up by the man had created such
enormous ripples.
‘They’ll have no choice but to come for a
settlement soon.’
The man was a merchant. One of the many common
small-time merchants from the Central Plains.
But this time, by
winning the bid for an item Grills had listed, he had obtained a great
opportunity.
Deureureuk—
The merchant looked away from the
gallery and opened his desk drawer.
When he opened the desk drawer,
there were various documents as well as a small ring case.
Ttak—
When
he carefully opened the case, a faint chill drifted out in a wisp of mist.
And
inside, there rested a bead glowing with a brilliant crimson light.
This
was the item the man had bid on in the gallery auction house: an inner core.
‘I
never thought it would be a real inner core.’
It was confirmed
through several verifications. This is definitely inner core.
Although
it wasn’t an inner core that you would only see in legends, it's at least
spiritual medicine grade or higher.
In terms of money, he could
receive at least 1,000 taels of silver or more.
'Huhu. If I don't
reveal this fact, there's no way for them to know.'
But the merchant
was greedy. Very greedy at that.
He didn’t stop there and tried to
get the money he had spent back.
Even if there were verification from
HeavenlyDemon, she was treated as an eccentric within the gallery.
Unless
she proved she was the real Heavenly Demon, her words meant nothing.
'Incitement
and fabrication are easy, but clarification is difficult.'
The
merchant is also quite familiar with the gallery. He understood its double
standards well.
People easily believe instigation and fabrication,
but clarification is difficult.
Even if one tries to explain, once
things have caught fire like this, it’s hard to draw attention again.
'If
the mod tells them to reach an agreement, they'll have no choice but to
accept.'
The gallery is especially like a lifeline to Grills.
Without
the gallery, the chances of surviving in the Forest of Four Seasons would
plummet.
It would be better to make an agreement than to get a
permanent ban for making a strange explanation.
In a way, this was
weighing someone's life on a scale, but the merchant didn't care.
‘He's
just some guy whose face I don't even know, so what.’
A hideous
nature hidden behind anonymity. conscience
He might if he knew the
face, but in the gallery, goodness is a weakness.
Of course, there
might be a backlash through clarification. But he didn't care.
‘So
what if I get permanent ban.’
Could the gallery be more precious than
real life? To a merchant, money is everything.
It was a shame he
couldn’t enjoy entertainment here, but that was fine. He could just buy it with
money.
The merchant waited with amusement. He was ready to respond to
any explanation.
[What Mr. Grills gave is indeed inner core.]
"Hm?"
It
was while he was endlessly refreshing. There was one noticeable title.
Not
just an ordinary anonymous user, but a post by SwordMaster, one of the famous
fixed nicks.
It was a post he couldn't carelessly ignore, so he
clicked on it immediately.
Title: What Mr. Grills gave is indeed
inner core.
Author: SwordMaster
(Photo of golden bead
placed on hand)
Mr. Grills discovered a new inner core and gave it to
me. This is indeed an inner core.
ã„´ No way ;; He found another
inner core in that short time?
ã„´ Why are cores popping out like meals?
lolol this makes it even harder to believe lolol
ã„´ Maybe it’s
possible since it’s the Forest of Four Seasons?
ã„´ I don't know about
HeavenlyDemon, but SwordMaster verifying it is different?
ã„´ This
time it's golden. Did you catch a golden fish?
"What?"
There
was another inner core? The merchant's eyes widened.
This was
completely unexpected. He quickly typed a comment.
ã„´ Ever think
they’re just covering for each other? Why would another inner core just pop up
out of nowhere? Lol
(He’s saying figuratively ‘to have matched
lips’)
ã„´ Why did they matched lips? Smoochie smooch?
ã„´
Oh my. How lewd.
ã„´ There’s no reason to match story lolol and does
SwordMaster even have a reason to lie?
ã„´ Fr lolol his is the guy who
helped raise the average combat level of the sword warrior of the continent
lolol
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon said 1-on-1 chat is possible, right? Probably
used that to blackmail them
ã„´ What happens if she threaten? She get
fired by the mod?
ã„´ Why is this bastard's imagination so poor? lol
ã„´ Looking at the nick next to it, it's the bastard who posted that
Grills is a scammer.
ã„´ Got cold feet? lololol
He acted
out of panic and only hurt himself. The merchant scowled.
It's
unexpected that another inner core came out.
He got a little
impatient, but he soon calmed down. Thinking about it, there's no need to
rush.
'Anyway, I can just insist it wasn't a real inner core.'
Looking
at it, the other side also seems to want to settle this with incitement and
fabrication. The difference is that some truth is mixed in.
Even if
the inner core SwordMaster received is real, it doesn't mean the inner core the
merchant received is real.
If he denies it to the end, his side will
ultimately have the advantage. It's about using uncertainty to the end.
[I
will clarify.]
'Here it comes.'
Just as public opinion was
gradually splitting in half, Grills' post went up.
The merchant
clicked the post without delay.
Title: I'll explain.
Author:
WildGrills
Clarification my ass, if you don’t like it, drop your
address. Drop your address and let someone else check if it’s a core or not,
problem solved, right?
If it's an inner core, you're so dead, and if
not, I'll give full refund. What kind of bullshit incitement are you doing, you
fucking bastard. Some star-bug like bastard committed fraud and is sitting
there, son of a bitch
Even SwordMaster-nim verified it, so if you've
got a problem, get a fixed nick first, you beggar bastard.
ã„´ Wow
lolol So refreshing lolol
ã„´ If your trust in him went up after
seeing this, hit strong upvote lololol
ã„´ So damn likeable lolol
ã„´
You can't write like this unless you're totally confident lolol
ã„´
You're so likable ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
ã„´ Every single point is right. Let's reveal
addresses and verify lolol
ã„´ The beggar me caught a stray
bullet....
It wasn't a clarification post. It was a profanity-filled
rant.
In any normal space, this would backfire, but this is a
gallery.
In fact, such posts are perfect for gaining favor and
trust.
'Hey, hey, what's this kid doing?'
I'm sure he
hasn't been on the gallery for long.
But judging from the way he
wrote the post, he seems to have been active for years.
The merchant
was taken aback for a moment, but then he left a comment on the explanation
post. He can't back down here.
ã„´ I'm the person who received the
inner core, why should I reveal my address? This is absurd lol
ã„´ The
man himself has arrived, eh?
ã„´ Pathetic lol
ã„´ Seeing
this reaction, pretty clear he really did scam.
ã„´ WildGrills) If you
messed with someone’s life, then you better put your own life on the line too,
right? I say the gallery is my life.
ã„´ That's not my problem? And
this isn't an inner core
ã„´ WildGrills) How about you reveal your
fixed nicks before saying such things? Or reveal your address lol
ã„´
You reveal yours first.
ã„´ WildGrills) Forest of the Four Seasons,
you moron. Come if you can.
ã„´ Lolololololol
ã„´
Lolololololol
ã„´ Lmaoooooo
He was completely owned.
Properly owned at that.
The merchant rolled his eyes up, down, left,
and right, then exited the post.
[The anonymous user who received the
inner cor eshould reveal his address.]
[Can't we just verify it
ourselves?]
[Like if Grills is likeable lolol]
[Like if
all scammers died lol]
As soon as he went out, he could see that
public opinion had completely flipped.
Most posts were saying to
reveal his location if he was so confident.
'Are you crazy? I'm not
revealing my address to die.'
Absolutely not. The moment he reveals
his address, his real-life safety is at risk.
The merchant deleted
the post that criticized Grills and closed the gallery.
It seems
he'll have to wait until things calm down.
'What a shame. I could've
made so much more money.'
It was regrettable, but causing more of a
ruckus now seemed unlikely to turn public opinion around.
It would be
better to just sell this inner core.
About 10 minutes later, the
merchant cautiously entered the gallery.
In his heart he said 'just
some gallery’, but ultimately he was nothing more than a true Gallery addict.
A
cultural product like a drug you couldn't quit even if you wanted to.
‘Maybe
it’s calmed down a bit?’
With that in mind, he logged into the
gallery and saw this.
[Just wait. I’m from the next town over lol]
[On
my way to have a tasty inner core!]
[So jealous of Central Plains
people rn.]
[So the scammer bastard was a merchant.]
These
were posts that looked deeply ominous.
The merchant sensed something
strange and entered the featured posts.
By nature, a merchant who
isn't quick-witted is bound to be weeded out.
And as soon as he
entered the featured posts, a post by the mod caught his eye.
Title:
Here's the address!
Author: Don'tAbandonTheHero
Grills-nim
revealed his location, but one person didn't!
So I'll kindly share
the address!
It's in the xxx area of Hanam Province, Central
Plains!
Mr. Grills also said if it turns out not to be an inner core,
he would give a full refund, so I hope for an amicable settlement!
"Uh..."
The
merchant's mind held only one thought upon seeing that post.
'I'm
screwed.'
Fucking screwed.
He never expected the mod to
reveal his address.
Kudangtang! Kwadang!
Loud noises came
from outside. The merchant suddenly raised his head at the sound.
A
moment later, his secretary burst through the door in a flurry.
"Wh-
What is this commotion!"
"I, I don't know either! Let's evacuate for
now.....!"
"I heard there's an inner core here!"
"We'll
just confirm it and give it back!”
The sounds grew closer and closer.
The merchant's face turned pale.
The gallery didn’t matter
anymore.
‘Son of a... !’
It seemed he'd have to focus only
on real life from now on.

Ahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
I love the mod so much right nowwwwww
