[Episode 06] Construction (1)
I indifferently watched Baek Seung-yeop and his group moving things while fumbling.
Baek Seung-yeop and the twins were watching me closely and talking nonsense, perhaps because they had sinned against me.
After finishing his cleaning, Baek Seung-yeop bowed to me again and spoke.
"Then let's go!"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Baek Seung-yeop, with his military discipline firmly in place, retreated cautiously.
『Name: Baek Seung-yeop (Lv. 10)
Reliability: 39
Awakening Ability: None
Experience distribution rate: 0%
Settlement distribution rate: 0%

'Trust has skyrocketed.'
Except for Baek Seung-min, all members of Baek Seung-yeop's party had single-digit trustworthiness.
That's how the numbers skyrocketed from our first meeting.
'Still, it's fortunate that they are easy to handle.'
To be honest, I don't really like people like Baek Seung-yeop.
Those who are full of pretense and only care about puffing up their bodies like pufferfish.
The way he was persecuting Baek Seung-min, who had risked his life to lead the goblins, just to establish his authority, and the way he was showing off his strength by throwing spears did not look very good.
The reason I support them, however, is because they are sorely lacking in talent.
'I thought there would only be three teams going out to hunt monsters.'
Over the course of a week, survivors steadily joined in, increasing the population of the citizens to a total of 197.
However, among them, only three teams were active in monster hunting.
Team Kim Min-ho, Team Baek Seung-yeop, Team Shin Yu-ra.
Aside from these, I had no interest in hunting goblins at all.
Rather than thinking of rescuing 10 people living in another neighborhood, it was safe to say that there were almost no people who wanted to hunt monsters.
It seemed that there were many people who, like Choi Hyeong-jun, felt a great aversion to killing living creatures.
Even the quest to hunt 10 goblins was a common reality for ordinary citizens.
Fortunately, the number of people clearing the quest was gradually increasing thanks to the bait strategy spread by Baek Seung-yeop's party.
'Shin Yu-ra's team is overly cautious.'
There were two more people than Baek Seung-yeop's team, but the number of goblins they had hunted had barely surpassed 80.
It was a huge difference from Baek Seung-yeop's team, which only had four people kill 100 animals.
'In reality, there isn't much difference between them and ordinary citizens.'
The number of goblins hunted by Shin Yu-ra's team members was actually around 12 per person.
At this point, there isn't much difference between this and ordinary citizens who have cleared the 10-hunt quest.
'You can give them a quest to hunt 10 goblins once a week. If you make the penalty a restriction on using public facilities, they'll have no choice but to do it.'
I checked the citizen management window.
Current population (197/900 people)
+100% additional experience
Additional settlement amount +100%
Unfortunately, the bonuses don't increase any further after 100, but hunting 10 goblins will still net you about 60,000 won a week.
Shin Yu-ra's team is just slightly better than them.
In the end, we have no choice but to support Baek Seung-yeop's party, which brings about somewhat satisfactory results.
A person who expects something from others cannot help but become a 'servant', and a person who gives it to others becomes a 'master'.
I was determined to become Baek Seung-yeop's master and tame them.
'Well, if you keep growing weeds diligently, they'll become tolerable.'
Anyway, since they were the team that achieved the most results after Kim Min-ho's team, they needed to give them an award.
'It would be enough if you adjusted the experience distribution rate to 50%.'
My thinking was that there was no need to invest too much.
All that was expected of them was the amount of utility bills used by citizens.
Anyway, it was Ha Dong-gun's party that brought in most of the money.
'It would have been nice if Baek Seung-yeop had resembled Ha Dong-geon even just a tenth of his appearance.'
A man with real leadership based on responsibility and sacrifice, not fake leadership built on bluff and show.
When I think of Ha Dong-geon, a warm smile naturally appears on my face.
『Name: Ha Dong-geon (Lv. 33) [+]
Title: [Sixth Bell] [Knight] [Spearman]
Trust: 70 Loyalty: 78
Awakening Abilities: Throwing, Stabbing
Experience distribution rate: 200%
★Quest Granting』
When Ha Dong-geon, who had the ability to awaken from the beginning, was brought in as a vassal, the results were different from those of the other ordinary people.
First of all, in addition to the 'sixth bell' that all vassals commonly obtain, two more titles have been added.
{article}
Physical abilities increase by (Loyalty)%, and the experience and settlement money from monsters hunted by vassals with the knight title are paid out three times.
※Knights can grow by distributing experience points.
You can obtain 1.5 times more rewards than ordinary vassals, and you can also grow by distributing experience points.
Since Ha Dong-geon earned a total of 600% of his profits every time he hunted, it didn't seem like a big deal to share 200% of that.
And the third title opened by Ha Dong-geon.
{Windsor}
-Current proficiency: 11%
The higher your skill level, the more attack power you gain.
This was the very reason why I created the supply spear that I just gave to Baek Seung-yeop's party.
The store that reached level 4 with the skill points earned by Moon Byung-ho not only had its discount rate increased to 20%, but also unlocked one more special function.
〔Commercialization〕
Evolves crude items into sellable items.
A crude spear made by taping a cleaver to a long stick.
After registering it in the store, they spent a whopping 3 million won to commercialize it.
Then, the modifier 'crude' disappeared and a popular window was created.
Although it was labeled as a general-purpose model, judging from how Ha Dong-geon used the spear, its performance was pretty good.
If you look at him, he is unrivaled among the goblins with just one spear.
Moreover, among the vassals, Ha Dong-geon was the only one who had two awakening abilities.
Throw (B grade)
Throws an object by consuming mental power, increasing attack power by 5 times.
The throwing skill, which is presumed to be an evolution of the baseball throwing skill that was used from the beginning,
Stab (A grade)
The moment you consume stamina and swing your spear, you temporarily create a sword energy on the blade.
A truly A-class skill.
When tested, the moment the black energy was created was only a split second, but it had the power to cut through even concrete rebar with a single blow.
In fact, I was now the strongest force I had.
That was when.
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).] [You have gained experience points.] [1,721,892 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute ruler of the corner.]
'Orc?'
The fact that he has such a large settlement amount for a level 18 player is probably because Ha Dong-geon went hunting.
I immediately moved the position of the Absolute's eyes and observed the situation there.
"Chwik-!"
Muscular monsters were seen confronting Ha Dong-geon.
A goblin-like green skin, a muscular body, and even buck teeth protruding from his mouth.
It had the typical orc appearance.
Ha Dong-geon took a step forward and thrust his spear at the bastard.
Woof!
At that moment, a blue aura enveloped the blade, and it soon cut through the orc's heart beautifully.
"Kkueek!"
The orc next to him took advantage of Ha Dong-geon's opening and stabbed him with his glaive.
That moment.
Wedge-
An arrow flying from behind pierced the forehead of the orc who was trying to attack Ha Dong-geon.
Ha Dong-geon stepped next to the orc who was hit by an arrow and fell, and threw the standard spear he was holding with all his might.
And it just so happened to hit the belly of an Orc coming up from the subway station.
Kwajik!
The orc's upper body was shattered with a loud noise.
'How much does that cost?'
It was heartbreaking to see someone throw away something worth 300,000 won, but my heart was at ease when I saw the money Ha Dong-geon had earned.
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).] [You have gained experience points.] [1,633,003 won has been deposited into the wallet of the Absolute in the Corner.]
'Yes, that's the way the spear was originally designed to be used.'
Ha Dong-geon picked up the glaive of the orc that had fallen next to him and ran to the back where his group was.
There was a brief lull as we moved away from the subway station where the orcs had come from.
'Is it an orc?'
After the number of goblins near the apartment was greatly reduced, Ha Dong-geon's party was ordered to attack the subway.
I decided that taking the subway would be the fastest way to get to Nambu-min-dong, where my parents live.
I thought it would be much faster to use the subway tracks than to kill the monsters scattered on the ground.
Of course, I expected that monsters would occupy the subway.
'But I thought they were orcs, not goblins.'
Orcs were of a different weight class from goblins.
The level was also much higher, and of course the experience points and settlement money they gave were much more.
'This is awesome.'
This sets the short-term goal.
'Party quest granted, hunt 100 orcs.'
The group of Ha Dong-geon who received the quest started moving towards the subway station again. It was when they were leisurely watching their activities.
[Unauthorized person attempts to enter.]
"huh?"
An alarm went off indicating that someone was crossing the boundary of the territory.
There are two common reasons why this notification appears.
One is when a monster literally tries to invade your territory, and the other is when a monster literally tries to invade your territory.
[An entity that meets the conditions for acceptance as a citizen has approached the corner of the house.] [Would you like to offer citizenship?]
Just when new citizens arrived.
'Three people.'
It was a family consisting of a parent and a son who looked to be in high school.
It was seen that he was being guided by Hong Jeong-su, who lives in room 501.
'So now there are exactly two hundred people. Offer citizenship.'
Let three people accept citizenship.
[Offer citizenship to Dong-Woo Lim, Saet-Byeol Son, and Hyeon-Seung Lim.] [The number of citizens has reached 200.] [The 'Tax Collection' skill is unlocked as the number of citizens reaches a certain level.]
A new skill has been unlocked.
{Tax collection}
10% of the cash held by citizens is collected, but the cash held by citizens does not decrease.
-Cool time: 30 days
"Huh?"
I had always wondered why there was a system to distribute settlement money to citizens, but it seemed to be for the purpose of utilizing this skill.
'It's cash that citizens have.'
That is, in order to use the tax collection skill, the settlement money had to be distributed to some citizens.
'Once a month is too long.'
The idea that the amount of money held by citizens does not decrease meant that money was duplicated.
The next time you use the skill, you will still have money left over, so your money will continue to grow thanks to the compound interest concept.
'Is it a kind of investment concept?'
It was easy to think of the settlement money distributed to citizens as interest, the profits earned through stocks and tax collection skills.
However, these stocks were the type of stocks that I could not redeem at will.
'The downside is that you have to wait at least 10 months to get your principal back...'
In the long run, it was definitely beneficial to distribute the settlement money to the citizens, but now I was in a situation where I was regretting every penny.
'We need to raise the specs of the Ha Dong-geon party as quickly as possible and send them to Nambumindong.'
Time was of the essence to save my parents.
The dispatch must be sent as quickly as possible.
So, it was inevitable that I would be worried.
'Hmm. For now, let's just distribute the settlement money to the citizens within a limit that is not burdensome.'
Anyway, this was an investment for the future.
And if they could make money, it might make citizens more active in hunting monsters.
'Let's just give out about 30% for now.'
It was a 30% discount from 200%, but I felt strangely sorry.
'This is an investment. An investment.'
The only silver lining was that most of the money was earned by the Ha Dong-geon party.
Since the party consisted of all the vassals except for Kim Gun, the damage wouldn't be that great.
That was when.
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).] [You have gained experience points.] [3,211,098 won has been deposited into the wallet of the Absolute in the Corner.]
I was able to level up thanks to the ongoing hunting of the Ha Dong-geon party.
[Skill level has increased.] [Corner Declaration has reached level 10.] [3 skill points have been acquired.]
At the same time, as if it were natural, a sharp pain came,
"Ugh."
The corner area of the house swallowed up the entire first floor.
and.
[Congratulations!] [You have declared a home for an entire apartment building.] [1,000,000,000 won in subsidies has been deposited.] [The 'Construction' function is activated.]
A strange feature was added.
