Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

29

Minhyuk walked down the stairs and exited the studio building.

He stood in front of the entrance.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, a taxi arrived.

He had called for a taxi in advance using an app when he was still in his room.

As he got in the taxi, the driver confirmed his destination.

“You’re going to Eokmanri Rental Car, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The rental car location was about 1.5㎞ away from here.

Normally, he would have just walked since it was too short of a distance to bother with the subway or bus.

But not anymore.

Now that he was a multi-billionaire, he had to realize that his time was more valuable than money.

Bang-

The taxi departed.

It quickly exited the alley and entered the main road.

The headlights of oncoming cars,

The lights leaking from buildings on the side of the road.

Things I saw every day now felt a little strange.

Of course, I had only seen torches and lanterns in the other world for the past few days.

I could see the sign for a hamburger drive-through in the distance.

‘I want a hamburger.’

I wasn’t hungry.

Because when you satisfy your hunger in the other world, your hunger disappears in this world too.

I just really wanted a hamburger after only eating food from that world for the past few days.

Not just hamburgers, but also chicken, pig’s trotters, jajangmyeon, and so on.

But now was not the time to satisfy my appetite.

Let’s enjoy it when I have some free time after finishing what’s important first.

“We’re here.”

Before I knew it, we had arrived at the rental car location.

Minhyeok got out of the taxi and entered the rental car location.

“Welcome. How can I help you?”

“I called ahead.”

“What is your name?”

“Choi Minhyeok.”

The employee led Minhyeok to the parking lot.

There was a van parked there.

I went closer to check the interior and saw that there were only seats in the front, and the back was all cargo space.

“We prepared a 3-seater van so that you can carry enough items.”

“That’s perfect.”

“Then, I will help you proceed with the contract for this vehicle.”

Minhyeok carefully filmed the interior and exterior of the van.

They say that if you film scratches and dents on the vehicle in advance, you won’t get blamed for them when you return it later.

I checked the precautions for renting a car online while riding in the taxi.

“Do you have your driver’s license?”

“Yes, here it is.”

I showed my driver’s license to the employee and filled out the contract.

“How long will you be using it? We also offer long-term rentals for over a month.”

“I’ll use it for 24 hours for now, and I’ll extend it if I need more time.”

I didn’t know what would happen in the future.

They said that the refrigerator gets bigger if you meet certain conditions.

If it turns into a large refrigerator with doors that open on both sides, I won’t be able to carry it in a van.

“The contract is complete. You can pay and receive the car key.”

Minhyuk pulled the pickup truck out of the parking lot.

He had never owned a car in his name, but he had often driven a 1-ton truck at the factory where he worked, so he was a skilled driver.

Thud-

He passed the main road and entered the alley where the Gosiwon (low-cost housing) was located.

As he parked the car right in front of the Gosiwon, the elderly owner ran out.

He had been watching the CCTV screen in the management office and was trying to stop the unfamiliar car from parking.

“You can’t park here!”

Minhyuk stuck his head out the window.

“I’ll be quick!”

“Minhyuk-goon? Why did you bring a car?”

“I’ll just park it here for a moment. Three minutes will be enough.”

The elderly owner nodded and went back into the management office.

Minhyuk got out of the car and entered the Gosiwon building.

He returned to his room and quickly lifted the refrigerator.

It was already empty.

He took the refrigerator out into the hallway and checked the time.

It was almost 9 pm.

The lottery draw would have finished by now.

Bang-

The old man opened the door and came out into the hallway.

Minhyuk had been about to knock anyway.

The old man looked at the refrigerator in the hallway and asked Minhyuk,

“Why? Is it broken?”

“No, I’m just moving it somewhere.”

“Where are you moving it to?”

The old man tilted his head.

Minhyuk quickly changed the subject.

“Did you do well on the lottery?”

The old man smiled and replied,

“How could I do well? But I did get fourth prize today.”

“How much is the prize money for fourth prize?”

“50,000 won.”

“Wow! Congratulations.”

“What congratulations.”

Minhyuk handed the old man three 10,000 won bills.

“Here’s the money for the things you bought me at the convenience store earlier.”

It had come to 27,500 won, but he didn’t want to receive the change.

However, the old man handed one of the 10,000 won bills back to Minhyuk.

“This is on me. To celebrate winning the lottery.”

He had only won 50,000 won, but he was giving some of it to Minhyuk.

Minhyuk declined politely.

“Oh, no, it’s fine!”

Minhyuk left the old man behind and exited the Gosiwon building.

Then he loaded the refrigerator into his car and headed to a large mart on the main road.

This place closes at 11 pm.

He entered the underground parking lot and parked his car as close as possible to the entrance of the store.

Then he entered the store, pulling a shopping cart behind him.

Minhyuk checked his grocery list once more.

Since he had to buy everything anyway, he started by putting in the most noticeable items.

Batteries happened to catch his eye.

Minhyuk began putting AA batteries stacked on the display rack into his cart.

There were packs of 40 and packs of 20.

He also swept up all the small packs containing 2, 4, and 8 batteries each.

Regardless of the brand, he put in all the AA-sized ones.

Before he knew it, the cart was full.

Minhyuk pushed the cart and rushed to the checkout counter.

The cashier was taken aback.

“Why are you buying so many batteries?”

Beep-

Beep-

The cashier started scanning the barcodes with unusually quick hand movements.

“That’s 1,983,420 won.”

He handed over 40 ten-thousand-won bills and received his change.

“Do you need a receipt?”

“No.”

He had set one rule for spending money.

Since he would be spending an enormous amount of money compared to his income in the future, he would refrain from using credit cards or check cards that leave a record as much as possible.

Since the purpose was to leave no record, he naturally couldn’t receive a receipt either.

He passed through the checkout counter, pushed the cart, and went out to the parking lot.

He opened the back door of the van and moved all the batteries into the trunk.

Then Minhyuk also got into the trunk and closed the back door.

He opened the refrigerator door and filled it with batteries.

“Return.”

Thud-

Minhyuk returned to the villa’s annex.

“Inventory.”

Rumble-

Green potion-filled glass bottles poured out of the translucent refrigerator.

The potion bottles were larger than AA batteries.

That’s why the volume had increased so much.

The translucent refrigerator didn’t explode, but its contents spilled out.

The glass bottles were surprisingly sturdy, and none of them broke.

Minhyuk retrieved all the potions from the refrigerator and called the soldiers who had been waiting outside.

The soldiers were surprised to see the numerous potion bottles scattered on the floor.

Minhyuk instructed them to organize the potion bottles.

The soldiers brought over wooden crates and filled each one with 200 bottles.

After finishing the cleanup, they counted the number of crates and discovered that there were about 2,000 bottles of potions in total.

It was far from enough for 4,000 people.

But there was no need to be impatient.

The night was still young, and Korea was a country where lights blazed brightly 24 hours a day.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”

Returning to the real world, Minhyuk pushed a shopping cart and ran into the store again.

After sweeping the shelves clean of the remaining AA batteries, he bought small items like cotton swabs.

Then he started to gather eggs.

While the other items were all important, eggs were especially crucial.

The red potions that healed external injuries were the most important and heavily needed supplies for the expedition.

He could fit about 20 to 30 egg cartons in a shopping cart at a time.

He could have stacked them higher, but if he accidentally dropped and broke them while carrying them, it would be a waste of time and money.

After buying and paying for the items,

Dragging the shopping cart to the car,

And putting the items in the refrigerator,

He repeated the process over and over until it was 11 pm.

The supermarket was closing.

He still hadn’t even bought a tenth of the eggs he needed.

Minhyuk pondered.

Should he go to a warehouse-type supermarket that was open 24 hours, or find another way to buy the items?

Hmm-

After some deliberation, Minhyuk picked up his phone.

And searched for an egg wholesaler.

There was one about a 30-minute drive from his location.

He called them right away.

“Hello, this is Wang Egg Distribution.”

“What time do you close?”

“We’re open 24 hours. However, we only sell in units of 100 cartons.”

Minhyuk replied with a grin.

“I’d like to buy 1,000 cartons.”

“Oh, is that right? We can deliver to the metropolitan area by tomorrow.”

“I’ll come pick them up myself.”

Minhyuk drove to the egg wholesaler.

An employee of the wholesaler loaded the eggs onto his van.

After about 100 cartons, the trunk was full.

“I’ll be right back.”

Minhyuk drove to a nearby free parking lot and parked his car, then put the eggs in the refrigerator.

About 15 cartons of eggs fit in the refrigerator.

He went back and forth between the other world and the real world, moving all 100 cartons of eggs.

Then he went back to the wholesale store and loaded another 100 cartons into his car.

“Wow, you’re back already? Is your factory nearby?”

Earlier, when the wholesale store employee asked, he had vaguely said that he ran a food factory.

He said that the place that usually supplied his eggs had suddenly gone out of business, so he had come here to buy eggs.

Minhyuk got in the driver’s seat and started the car.

Thud-

Like that, he moved all 1,000 cartons of eggs to the other world, driving back and forth between the parking lot and the wholesale store.

This prepared 30,000 bottles of the red advanced potion.

This alone covered all the donations he had received from the nobles.

He would collect the cost of the remaining items from the emperor.

.

.

.

He procured the other items in the same way as the eggs, visiting wholesale stores around the clock.

Before he knew it, dawn was breaking.

‘Should I head to the last place now?’

7 AM.

Minhyuk arrived at a vinyl greenhouse farm near Seoul.

The farmers were putting something in boxes.

Minhyuk approached them and asked,

“Are you preparing the old cucumbers?”

“Are you the one who called last night? The one who ordered 4,000 old cucumbers?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

Minhyuk had called the greenhouse farm’s crop division around midnight.

He had ordered 4,000 old cucumbers and wired a deposit of 1 million won.

He had decided to use only cash, but he couldn’t help it in cases like this.

“All 200 boxes are ready.”

One 15 kg box contained about 20 old cucumbers on average.

He had ordered 4,000, so that came to 200 boxes.

Minhyuk began diligently carrying the boxes.

It was similar to the eggs.

He loaded 20 boxes of old cucumbers into the van’s trunk and drove to a nearby secluded area, where he put them in the refrigerator.

After moving all 20 boxes to the other world, he went back to the greenhouse and loaded another 20 boxes.

He went back and forth 10 times like that, moving all the old cucumbers to the other world.

He had secured 4,000 daggers of stars.

It was enough to supply all the expeditionary force soldiers.

‘It’s over!’

As he was about to leave after paying the remaining balance, the head of the farming association handed Min-hyuk a bowl of cider.

The others were drinking makgeolli.

“Since you have to drive, please have a bowl of cider.”

“Thank you.”

Gulp, gulp-

He drank a bowl of cool cider in one go.

Then he returned to the van and put his hand on the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Boom-

A flash of light flashed before his eyes.

Whoosh-

As the light subsided, the surrounding objects began to appear.

Min-hyuk was now in the expeditionary force’s munitions warehouse.

Next to him were the princess and General Drake.

The general looked at the potions and equipment piled up like mountains in the warehouse and exclaimed.

“This is the first time I’ve felt so secure since I joined the army!”

The princess was also in awe of Min-hyuk’s boundless abilities.

“Who on earth are you···.”

Min-hyuk opened his mouth to them.

“Let’s leave in 3 days.”

The day the expeditionary force would finally depart was fast approaching.
