chapter 220
220 – Part 2, Episode 48, How to use technology you never imagined.
The jewels were purified one after another.
I don’t know if purification can be used in places like this, but as I looked at the jewels becoming increasingly cleaner, I started to laugh.
How can you turn a cheap gem into an expensive gem in an instant?
Now my abilities are so great that even I am scared.
If you do this, won’t you get caught by really bad people and be used like a tool?
It’s a shame I have the power…
“pretty…”
“Hey, you shouldn’t roll it around like that.”
“Why not?”
While I was thinking that, Stella was smiling as she rolled the top-quality jewelry on the table.
Even if she isn’t particularly interested in jewelry, she seems to think it’s pretty when she sees it sparkling.
But if it rolls around, I have to purify it again.
Well… I guess I’ll just buy it and give it to Stella.
“Father-in-law. I will buy what Sister Stella rolled around.”
“Haha, thank you.”
Stella seems to like it.
When you grow up, tell them to play Luna toys.
“But you’re not going to sell these jewels like this, are you?”
“Yes, of course. I would be suspicious if such a large and high-quality gem came out in large quantities.”
The method my father-in-law said was to split it and sell it.
Instead of selling it as is, it is sold in pieces by carats.
If you sell it that way, the price will go down a lot, but it won’t arouse suspicion.
What are your doubts?
If such large, high-quality gems kept appearing on the market, wouldn’t you be suspicious?
They may be people in the same industry or nationally looking into the source of gems.
If that happens, you will find out that it came from a mine owned by the Church of Christ.
So what happens?
‘Ah, there are a lot of high-quality gems coming from the mines of the Church of Christ. i envy you.’
Will it simply end like this?
Absolutely not.
The number of illegal intruders will increase and chaos will occur in our denominational mines.
There is nothing strange about it since jewelry is money itself.
So, instead of selling it in large pieces, it is sold in small pieces.
Even if the quality is good, a small product cannot command an unimaginably high price.
But, the sapphires and rubies that Stella is rolling around right now…
The reason they are that big is because they have become the kind of thing that can be sold at huge prices at auctions.
No matter how big a ruby or sapphire is, if it’s not pretty, it’s not expensive.
“My little sister creates gems just by rolling them around…”
My brother-in-law smiled bitterly as he looked at us like that.
It seems that my brother-in-law is somewhat interested in jewelry.
I’ll pick out some suitable ones later and bring you a few.
Anyway, all I have to do is buy some cheap gems and purify them.
“But if you use this power for personal purposes, it’ll be a bit of a problem, right?”
“Well… it’s not like we can force that though.”
My father-in-law didn’t seem to think about forcing it or anything like that.
He stroked his beard and groaned, saying he didn’t know I would say something like that.
*
In the end, my personal use of jewelry was limited or not.
No matter how much I think about it, my father-in-law seems to have decided that there is no reason to restrict it.
It doesn’t matter to me though.
However, if I were crazy about money, I would have bought low-quality gems in large quantities, purified them, and sold them to make a profit.
If that happens, the profits of the church headquarters that owns the mine will decrease.
No matter how I looked at it, I thought there might be a limit to it because I could easily exploit it if I thought about it.
“Because my father believes in the West.”
“I guess so… If that were the case, I would be happy too.”
Stella, who held my hand and walked while shaking it wildly, comforted me.
She seemed to be in a very good mood from earlier.
It looks like you really liked the jewelry I gave you as a gift.
It’s ruby and sapphire, so the color is also Taegeuk.
Yin and yang.
Looking at it this way, the two gems look good together.
“How about making something like a necklace or bracelet with it?”
“Wouldn’t it look bad for a saint to wear something like that?”
“Hmm… I guess that’s true too…”
All of the accessories Stella is wearing right now are jewelry-free.
In the religious world, religious people are not allowed to use gold jewelry except for saints and the Pope, so Stella’s jewelry is made of gold.
The irony of wearing jewelry using materials that others cannot use.
However, if it also includes jewelry, wouldn’t the meaning of prohibiting people of other religions from making jewelry with gold fade?
The reason for this rule is to live frugally and not waste gold on accessories.
For religious people, there is no virtue more important than frugality, right?
Stella sometimes feels a little burdened by the gold jewelry she wears on a daily basis.
Of course, it is not the burden of wearing it, but the burden of fear of losing it.
A total of 3 pieces including earrings, necklace, and bracelet.
“Then… I just use it to hold it tightly in my hand.”
“Hehe, that’s an emergency fund you can hold tightly in your hand.”
That’s right.
It can also be used as an emergency fund if an accident occurs suddenly and you need money.
…isn’t it?
If Stella is in danger, the rabbit spirit Yuri can bring her home, so she doesn’t have to be in danger.

How can this ability be used?
I wanted to test it out, so I went into the warehouse and came out with a broken window.
A window that was previously broken by a piece of stone blown by the wind.
Even though the glass was a little broken, I kept the frame in the warehouse because I thought it could be reused later.
I need to save money like this…
“You can’t imagine these words coming from the mouth of a guy who buys hundreds of watches, can you?”
“…..”
Next to me, Dave laughed sarcastically.
As he said, the concept of saving money is actually meaningless to me.
I just left this there.
I thought it could be used temporarily in the future when the glass cannot be replaced right away.
So that’s why I brought this up.
The gems I repaired a while ago were gemstones, low-grade gemstones with bubbles or empty spaces inside, right?
In fact, such jewels are not much different from broken glass.
Glass is simply made by melting silicon and hardening it, but it breaks, and jewelry is made by the organic matter in the stone clumping together and melting under high temperature and high pressure.
Naturally, jewelry also breaks like glass.
So, wouldn’t broken glass return to its original state if we clean it like a gem?
“Dave. Don’t let go and hold on tight.”
“You’re not trying to do anything weird, are you? If I die of a heart attack because I’m so shocked, are you going to ask Eri to take out 100,000 gold coins as insurance premium?”
“Don’t worry, I will save you even if you die.”
With my current abilities, I can revive someone who died within an hour.
Well… I might become stupid after an hour or so, but I might be able to save it.
There’s nothing you can do about destroyed brain cells.
Anyway, being able to save it is important.
“No… in that case, why don’t we just let him die?”
“I can recover if I ask the goddess, right?”
“okay?”
They secretly say that Dave has thin ears.
Anyway, after confirming that the window was firmly held, I took out the holy sword and pointed the blade at the glass.
Perhaps because most of the power of the holy sword has been lost, it doesn’t break even if you touch it against glass.
In its heyday, glass could be shattered just by sharpening it with a blade.
When I brought the blade, purification was activated.
The glass of the window gave off white light like a jewel and instantly became transparent.
Jewelry took quite some time.
Is it because glass is pure silicon, so it has no impurities and is clear?
“What do you think?”
“Hmm… What kind of fraudulent abilities do they have? The parts that were broken are clearly back to their original state…”
Dave began to admire the restored glass, saying it was ridiculous.
Literally, the broken part has been completely restored, and although it is high quality glass, I think this is the first time I have seen such transparent and clear glass.
“Glass restoration seems like it would make a lot of money… Why do you think making transparent glass like this would make more money?”
“This might be a good way to make money…”
I was a little concerned about the jewelry, but wouldn’t it be okay to restore the glass?
Even the denominational bureau likes clean glass.
If you go into the prayer room, there is stained glass, right?
He might like it if you make it clean.
“If nothing else, you can use this ability for your hobbies.”
“hobby?”
I don’t know what Dave is talking about.
I tilted my head as if I didn’t understand, so Dave showed me what he was wearing on his wrist.
“I mean a watch. An expensive watch has expensive glass on it, right?”
“ah.”
That’s right, so it turns out that glass damage was the biggest cause of watch damage.
If you can fix that glass, wouldn’t you be able to do a much cleaner and better repair than going to a watchmaker or having a private repair service?
I can’t believe it continues like this.
I couldn’t even imagine.
