chapter 24
[Episode 06] Construction (1)
I looked indifferently at Baek Seung-yeop and his company as they struggled to move things.
Baek Seung-yeop and the twins looked at me and crawled on their own, probably because they had committed sins against me.
After tidying up, Baek Seung-yeop once again bowed to me and said,
“Then let’s go!”
“Yes, good job.”
Baek Seung-yeop, who had a strong military discipline, cautiously retreated.
『Name: Baek Seung-yeop (Lv. 10)
Reliability: 39
Awakening Ability: None
EXP distribution rate: 0%
Settlement amount distribution rate: 0%
★Quest Grant Exit』
‘The level of trust has skyrocketed.’
Except for Baek Seung-min, all of the Baek Seung-yeop parties had single-digit reliability.
That’s what the number skyrocketed at the first meeting.
‘Still, I’m glad they’re easy to deal with.’
To be honest, I don’t really like people like Baek Seung-yeop.
Those who are bluffing and are only in a hurry to inflate their bodies like a blowfish.
Baek Seung-min, who had risked his life to lead the goblins, was beaten to establish his authority, and the way he pretended to be strong with a javelin throw and showed off did not look very good.
Nevertheless, the reason why they support them is because even if they lack talented people, they are too lacking.
‘I thought there were only three teams going out to hunt monsters.’
Over the course of a week, survivors joined steadily, bringing the total number of citizens to 197.
But among them, there were only three teams that were active in hunting monsters.
Kim Min-ho’s team, Baek Seung-yeop’s team, Shin Yu-ra’s team.
Except for them, they had no interest in hunting goblins at all.
Rather, he thought of rescuing 10 people living in another neighborhood, and it was safe to say that there were very few people who wanted to hunt monsters.
There seemed to be a lot more people like Choi Hyeong-jun who felt a great reluctance to kill living creatures.
Even the quest to hunt 10 goblins was a reality for ordinary citizens.
At least, the number of those who cleared the quest through the decoy operation spread by Baek Seung-yeop’s party was gradually increasing.
‘Shin Yu-ra’s team is overly cautious.’
There were two more members than Baek Seung-yeop’s team, but the number of goblins they had hunted was just over 80.
It was a huge difference from the Baek Seung-yeop team, who killed 100 animals with only four people.
‘Actually, there’s not that much of a difference from ordinary citizens.’
The number of goblins that Shin Yura’s team members hunted was actually about 12 per person.
At this point, there was not that much difference from ordinary citizens who had cleared 10 hunting quests.
‘I’ll give you a quest to hunt 10 goblins every week. If the penalty is to limit the use of public facilities, I will do it out of necessity.’
I checked the citizen management window.
Current Population ( 197 / 900 people)
+100% extra experience
Additional settlement +100%
Unfortunately, the additional bonus did not increase after 100 people, but anyway, if you hunt 10 goblins, you earn about 60,000 won a week.
Shin Yura’s team is at a slightly better level than them.
In the end, there is no choice but to support the Baek Seung-yeop Party, which brings satisfactory results to some extent.
A person who wants something from others has no choice but to be a ‘servant’, and a person who gives it is a ‘master’.
I was thinking of becoming Baek Seung-yeop’s master and definitely taming them.
‘Well, if we grow weeds diligently, they’ll be worth watching.’
Anyway, it was the team that achieved results after Kim Min-ho’s team, so it was necessary to give an award.
‘It would be enough to adjust the experience distribution rate to 50%.’
It was my idea that there was no need to invest too much.
What was expected of them was the utility bills that citizens used.
It was the Ha Dong-gun party that made most of the money anyway.
‘It would have been nice if Baek Seung-yeop resembled Ha Dong-gun at least 1/10.’
A man with real leadership based on responsibility and sacrifice, not fake leadership built up through bravado and show-off.
When I think of Ha Dong-gun, I naturally smile.
『Name: Ha Dong-gun (Lv. 33) [+]
Title: [Sixth Servant] [Knight] [Lancer]
Reliability: 70 Loyalty: 78
Awakening Ability: Throwing, Stabbing
EXP distribution rate: 200%
★Quest given 』
When Ha Dong-gun, who had the ability to awaken from the beginning, was accepted as a vassal, a result different from that of ordinary people came out.
First of all, there are two more titles besides the ‘Sixth Servant’ that all vassals have in common.
{Article}
Physical ability increases by (Loyalty)%, and the EXP and settlement money of monsters hunted by vassals with the title of Knight are tripled.
※ Knights can grow by distributing experience points.
It was possible to obtain 1.5 times more rewards than ordinary vassals, and it was also possible to grow by distributing experience points.
Since Ha Dong-gun’s total profit from hunting was 600%, it was not too much of a waste to share 200% of it.
And the third title opened by Ha Dong-gun.
{Lancer}
-Current proficiency: 11%
Attack power increases as spear proficiency increases.
This was the reason why he made the supply spears he had just handed out to Baek Seung-yeop’s party.
Shops that reached level 4 with the skill points earned by Moon Byeong-ho not only increased their discount rate to 20%, but also opened up one more special feature.
[Commercialization]
Evolves crude objects into sellable items.
A crude spear made by fixing a kitchen knife to a long stick with tape.
After registering it in the store, it was commercialized with a large amount of money of 3 million won.
Then, the crude modifier was removed and a popular type of window was created.
Although it was labeled as a low-end type, the performance of Ha Dong-gun’s spear was quite good.
It’s like seeing a match between goblins with a single spear.
Besides, among the vassals, Ha Dong-geon was the only one with two awakening abilities.
Throwing (Class B)
Consumes mental power to throw objects, amplifying attack power by 5 times.
A throwing skill that is estimated to have evolved from throwing a baseball that was held from the beginning,
Stab (Class A)
Temporarily creates sword energy at the edge of the spear the moment you throw a spear at the cost of your stamina.
What an A-level skill.
As a result of the test, the moment when the sword was created was really only a moment, but it had the power to cut through even concrete rebar in one blow.
In fact, it was now the strongest power I had.
It was then.
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[1,721,892 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
‘Oak?’
It must be because Ha Dong-gun hunted that he only reached level 18 and the settlement money was large.
I immediately moved the position of the Absolute Eye and looked at the situation there.
“Chwiik-!”
I saw muscular monsters confronting Ha Dong-gun.
Green skin like a goblin, muscular body, and buck teeth protruding from the mouth.
It was the appearance of a typical orc.
Ha Dong-gun took a step forward and threw a spear at him.
Ugh!
At that moment, a blue aura wrapped around the blade of the spear, and it immediately split the orc’s heart beautifully.
“Queueek!”
The orc next to him took advantage of Ha Dong-gun’s gap and stabbed the glaive.
That moment.
nettle liquid-
An arrow from behind pierced the forehead of the orc who was about to attack Ha Dong-gun.
Ha Dong-gun stepped to the side of the orc who fell after being hit by an arrow and threw the cheap spear he was holding in his hand with all his might.
And it just hit the boat of an orc coming up from the subway station.
Kwajik!
With a loud noise, the orc’s upper body was shattered.
‘How much does that cost?’
It pained my heart to see him throw an object worth 300,000 won at once, but I felt relieved when I saw the money Ha Dong-gun earned.
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[1,633,003 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
‘Yes, this is the spear I was given to use from the beginning.’
Ha Dong-gun took the glaive of the fallen orc next to him and fell to the back where the party was.
The orcs moved away from the subway station and went into a lull for a while.
‘Is it an oak?’
After the number of goblins near the apartment was greatly reduced, Ha Dong-gun’s party was ordered to attack the subway.
It was because I decided that it would be faster to take the subway to get to Nambu Min-dong, where my parents are.
I thought it would be much faster to use the subway tracks than to kill monsters on the ground.
Of course, I expected that monsters would occupy the subway.
‘But to think it was Orcs and not goblins.’
Unlike goblins, orcs were in different weight classes.
The level was much higher, and of course, the experience points and settlement money they gave were much higher.
‘That’s great.’
With this, short-term goals have been set.
‘Give party quest, hunt 100 orcs.’
After receiving the quest, Ha Dong-gun and his party started moving toward the subway station again. It was time to watch their performance leisurely.
[Unauthorized target attempts to enter.]
“yes?”
An alarm appeared saying that someone was touching the boundaries of the realm.
There were usually two instances in which this notification would appear.
One is literally when monsters try to invade the realm, and the other.
[An object that satisfies the conditions to be accepted as a citizen has approached every corner of the house.]
[Would you like to offer citizenship?]

Just when the new citizens came.
‘Three people.’
It was a family consisting of parents and a son who seemed to be in high school.
I saw Hong Jung-soo, who lives in Room 501, being guided by me.
‘Then there are only two hundred of them now. Offer citizenship.’
Let the three of us accept citizenship.
[I propose citizenship to Lim Dong-woo, Son Saet-byeol, and Lim Hyun-seung.]
[The number of citizens has reached 200.]
[As the number of citizens reaches a certain level, the ‘tax collection’ skill is unlocked.]
A new skill has been opened.
{tax collection}
Collects 10% of the cash citizens have. However, at this time, the cash held by citizens does not decrease.
-Cool time: 30 days
“Hoo?”
Until now, I had been wondering why there was a system for distributing settlement money to citizens, but it seemed to be to utilize this skill.
‘Citizens have cash.’
In other words, in order to use the tax collection skill, the settlement money had to be distributed to some citizens.
‘Once a month is too long.’
To say that the money that citizens have does not decrease was to say that money is copied.
The money will still be there the next time you use the skill again, so the money will continue to grow with the concept of compound interest.
‘Is it a kind of investment concept?’
It was easy to think of the settlement money distributed to citizens as interest earned through stock and tax collection skills.
However, this stock was a kind of stock that could not be recovered at will.
‘The downside is that you have to wait at least 10 months to get the principal money back…’
In the long run, distributing the settlement money to the citizens was an unconditional benefit, but now I was in a situation where every penny was regrettable.
‘I have to raise the specs of Ha Dong-gun’s party as soon as possible and send it to Nambu Min-dong.’
Time was of the essence to save my parents.
It has to be dispatched as quickly as possible.
So I had no choice but to worry.
‘Hmm. Shall we distribute the settlement money to the citizens only within the line that is not burdensome?’
In any case, this was an investment for the future.
And if money could be earned, the citizens might become more active in hunting monsters.
‘Should I give out only 30% first?’
It was to give away 30% from 200%, but it was strangely wasteful.
‘This is an investment. investment.’
Fortunately, most of the money was earned by the party.
Since everyone except Kim Geon was a party made up of vassals, the damage would not be too great.
It was then.
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[3,211,098 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
Thanks to Ha Dong-gun’s ongoing hunting party, he was able to level up.
[Skill level has increased.]
[The proclamation has reached level 10.]
[Acquire 3 skill points.]
At the same time, an excruciating pain came as if it were natural,
“Ugh.”
The corner of the house swallowed up all the first floor.
And.
[Congratulations!]
[Declared in every corner of the entire apartment building.]
[The support fund of 1,000,000,000 won has been deposited.]
[‘Construction’ function is activated.]
An odd feature was added.
