A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop

Episode 43-Wind of Change (3)

“Why are you looking so blankly, Larsen?”

“Oh, no…nothing.”

An amicable agreement between them, and a merger. After the commotion of the divine sword falling from the sky, the first dinner was held after the Lakum tribe joined the village.

Racoum’s younger brother Larsen, who had not yet shed his boyish appearance, was unable to concentrate on eating and was preoccupied with other things. It was not a meager meal, but a hearty meal made with plenty of grains and high-quality meat.

“Isn’t that fortunate? To be honest, I spent my days worrying about when the looters would come in.”

The middle-aged man next to him, perhaps aware of Larsen’s feelings, just smiled and gorged himself on his food.

‘No matter what, my brother bowed first and went in.’

In fact, not many people will understand Larsen’s feelings right now. Larsen was dissatisfied with his older brother Rakum bowing down to Varun without even the slightest resistance.

Varun accepted Rakum’s tribe generously, but naturally did not share his authority. There is only one tribal leader, Varun. Now that they have become one, Rakum is no longer a tribal leader who led a group, but has become an official.

Of course, Rasen also knew that, as a tribal leader, he made the most efficient and wise choice, taking into account Racoum’s situation and negotiation conditions. All he did was act like a boy his age, armed with fierceness and fierceness.

This was especially true because he was always very proud of his older brother.

“The enemy! “It’s a black monster!”

It was when we were almost finishing our meal that a sudden commotion occurred.

The newcomers, including Larsen, were greatly taken aback by the sight of the villagers urgently shouting for an enemy attack even though no noise was clearly heard around them.

“Tongue, brother!”

“Larsen! “Go and stay away!”

Rakum, now a member of this tribe, was also the one who quickly prepared to fight and rushed out. Larsen, who was looking at the people running in a daze, hesitated for a moment and then carefully moved to the outskirts of the village to find out what had appeared.

‘Well, what on earth is that?’

Thanks to this, Larsen was able to see what had attacked this village. It wasn’t a looter or anything. It was not like a beast or magical beast commonly seen in the grasslands.

A huge black monster or bug. Just like the Rakum tribe members who joined today, people who saw it for the first time could not help but think that it was a monster. The villagers naturally took up arms and attacked the monsters, as if they were used to them.

“Chief, what on earth are these monsters!?”

“Black monsters… These are monsters that exist in this land. “We have to fight these guys.”

As always, Rakum, who was struggling with glitches that suddenly appeared without any warning, asked Varun with a pale face. Then, Varun finally gave information about glitches and bugs to Rakum and the newly joined tribe members.

“I can’t believe I have to fight these monsters. that…”

“Wouldn’t it make sense to get His favor and not pay anything in return?”

The point is that almost all glitches that suddenly appeared have been eliminated. Rakum, who had not heard this story in advance, was confused, but Varun shook his head and asked what was the problem. It wasn’t wrong.

A divine sword falls from the sky, crosses the air by an unknown force, and reaches its destination in an instant. There are clear benefits, so it is the law of the world that there is a price commensurate with them.

“Young Chief. Think carefully. It’s not just about fighting monsters, it’s about what we gain in return for this fight. “Anyway, the fight is the same no matter where you go.”

Varun appropriately threw a carrot to Rakum in case he thought he would leave again. The fact that there is a price means that there is something to be gained by paying the price.

Rakum is also a warrior who reveres strength. It’s impossible not to be moved when you hear about the power that breaks the rules and makes warriors stronger.

“I understand what you mean.”

“There is no way he would turn away a warrior like you. He will probably give you special powers as well, so do your duty if you wish to receive them.”

In the end, Rakum calmed down the confusion and decided to fight for now. Anyway, even if I reverse my decision to join now, there is no place to run to.

“It showed up over there too! “They’re going to town!”

However, this incident did not end with a single attack like now. The northern point away from the western part of the village where soldiers flocked and fought. Enemies appeared there too.

“Oh my! “Hurry back to the village!”

Horrified, Varun hurriedly ordered his warriors and soldiers to return to the village. What they didn’t expect was that they would attack in succession from completely different directions with a time gap.

‘What’s going on?’

Grinding his teeth, Varun raised the staff in his hand towards the glitches who had already attacked the village. Normally, his power, which would have immediately picked them up in a crisis and dropped them off at the place where the problem broke out, was quiet now. Since mouse control was not blocked against glitches or bugs, there was sufficient grounds for suspicion.

“It’s the chief’s spell!”

“Protect the people. “Hurry and avoid!”

Soon, one of the Druid’s skills, Thorn Field, was activated, and thorn vines that spewed out from the ground knocked away the tentacles of the glitch that were charging at the people and wrapped around their bodies.

Fortunately, the soldiers were not that late. They stormed in just before damage was caused by the enemies and succeeded in protecting the village by slaying the monsters this time.

“Uh, uh…”

Of course, there were moments of crisis. Just before the soldiers rushed back.

Larsen, who went out with his sword to deal with the glitch that had infiltrated the village, stumbled when he faced the monster right in front of him.

It wasn’t just a monster. A feeling of foreignness, as if it were not a living creature, an empty emptiness itself. Lassen, who admired his older brother, the best warrior in the tribe, and had been training with the sword steadily, hesitated in front of his real enemy.

“Get out of my way.”

The moment the tentacles of the glitch opened its jaws and rushed towards Larsen, who was frozen in fear.

What saved Larsen was a girl who passed by and ran out.

The moment the dagger in both hands glowed red, her body disappeared leaving behind only an afterimage, appearing behind the shattered corpse of the enemy. Shura, an ordinary girl who discovered her talent in a special way, displayed the skills she had developed while hunting undead monsters in the game in real life.

‘Nonsense.’

Larsen, who sat down, was mesmerized by the sight of Shura, who had already reached the level of a mature warrior. It was a sight that literally went beyond common sense.

“Wow, it’s a mess.”

It seemed like all urgent matters were over, so I did some housework while I had some free time, and in that short period of time, the world on my monitor turned into chaos.

The residents who fought during the glitch attack were now cleaning up after themselves. One house was seen to have collapsed as if it had penetrated into the village.

Still, fortunately, no one seems to have died. A few people were injured, but no one was seriously injured enough for me to treat them using an anti-virus program.

‘As expected, it’s impossible for me to keep watching.’

I sat down in the chair again and watched the people on the enlarged screen with a stern expression.

In the past, I would have blamed myself for not keeping my position, but now my thoughts have changed a bit.

It’s impossible for me to sit in front of a monitor 24 hours a day without letting it go even for a second. Even if I quit the company as I wish, the same is true.

I’m a living person, so I have to sleep, go to the bathroom, and social activities, so I can’t just ignore them. They said that it wasn’t right for me to stay there and watch everything in the first place.

‘Designing them so that they can overcome it on their own.’

If we look at the intention of the Master Program, which we have experienced so far while working on this strange program, everything is connected to one single thing. It is about developing and nurturing the residents, who are the guardians, and making them stronger collectively and individually.

It’s as if the auto mode is being strengthened by unlocking restrictions step by step. The more I become attached to them, the more I worry about them, but if I try to do everything, I will break down first.

‘But now I can breathe a little better.’

It may seem like my role is very important right now, but in fact, as the proportion of residents in the system grows, the less work I have to do. Increasing numbers by merging other tribes is also fundamental to that goal.

I put the glitch raid, which was only lvl 1, out of my mind and continued with what I was doing before leaving.

What I was doing was researching and recording all the information of the residents, including the newly joined personnel. People have various talents.

Even if that talent is buried because there is no natural mana or a chance to bloom, there is no need to worry. Because I can remind you of that.

‘Miners, farmers, woodcutter, porters, martial arts, spearmanship… there are many.’

There are countless talents. You can awaken on your own, and there are also talents that can only be awakened in the game world connected to the master program.

‘Priority to carriers and combatants.’

I decided that there were priorities among those talents. For example, transporters like Morin who will now be able to build a castle on their own, or warriors who will have to fight against enemies.

Fortunately, among the new members, there were a few with such talent. I changed the arrangement so that they could awaken their abilities first.

Since the essence of monsters was needed to awaken those who did not have mana, hunting had to be done periodically.

“—.”

There were glitch attacks, but the newcomers didn’t escape or escape, probably because seniors like Varun were well informed.

As I finished the weekend and got ready for work, I watched them doing their own thing without any worries.

The system in which residents work has been established to some extent, so unless unexpected variables arise, when you get home from work, all you have to do is solve a few problems that have been waiting for you, as if you were playing an idle game.

It seems like the cycle has been set to some extent.

“It’s going well.”

Finally, I took out my phone and launched an app. The app that allows you to check and operate your PC with your phone was successfully connected, making it possible to view the desktop.

If you have an urgent matter, you can check it with this.

The reason I couldn’t give up my job at the company was because I had a hard time finding a job in these times, but if I decided that it was impossible to do both, I would probably quit the company.

Anyway, what happens on the desktop is more important now. There is also the point that you can make a profit from the loot earned by the residents.

At first, it was only a single gold ring, but as their power grew and their scope of activity increased, the loot they acquired inevitably increased.
