Chapter 301 – 301. Bait
301. Bait
‘This should be enough.’
I linked the gate I made in the cave with the temporary temple I made the other day. I fidgeted with the temple some more, then scaled it down and placed it on the desk and yawned. Slowly, the ticking started to get boring.
‘I need someone to make something for me…’
At first, I had fun with making something, but after doing it a few times, I got tired of it. It feels similar to when I learned magic engineering in the past. I felt like I knew why I threw grades in the past.
Whatever it was, it was better for others to do it than for me to do it myself. There wasn’t much passion in my heart to burn my enthusiasm for productive work.
‘I’ll have to get a construction slave later.’
No, do I really need to buy one? There’s one slave that’s playing anyway, right?
I stormed into Alicia’s room. The atmosphere in Alicia’s room was quite different from before. Alicia made her own paradise by putting TV, laptop, computer, and all sorts of things in her empty space. She was watching a movie on the bed, munching her popcorn with the duvet pulled over.
“Master? What’s wrong here…”
Alicia felt me enter and glanced at me. She seemed somehow happier than when she was in her prison cell.
‘What?’
It was so arrogant to see him sucking honey on the subject of Ona Hall. I had the urge to trample on her precious little nest.
Hehe…”
Alicia, who sensed something ominous, quickly turned off the TV and came over to me. I started thinking about whether or not to bully this guy. From now on, she intends to appoint her as the head of the architectural department.
Even if you lose, you won’t listen, because if you don’t lose, there’s no way you’ll listen…
“Why, why are you… ?”
Alicia became uneasy when I stared at her silently. She swipe After looking around her room, she began organizing luxuries like the TV and computer out of my sight. She returned to the cold floor in an instant. She sat down on the floor and made a sound like a dog, watching my movements.
“Bruise… !”
“Hmm…”
I put down my fist again. Still, it seems that education is not very effective. Well, I hit it like that, but I still didn’t listen to it, so it was ridiculous to eat it. Unless you’re an idiot like Lee Ji-hyun.
“Hand.”
“Heh heh heh.”
“Look.”
“King!”
After playing with Alicia, who had turned into a puppy, I sat down on the bed. Alicia crawled over and rubbed against my leg, waiting for my words.
“Alisha.”
“Yes?”
“When you think about it, do you think you have some manual dexterity? What do you like to make?”
“Uh, well?”
“If you don’t have it, raise it from now on. I will appoint you as the head of the architectural department starting today.”
“Yes?”
I recited the work of the chief architect. Alicia, who hears with one ear and lets it out with the other. Anyway, if I punch it later, the result will come out, so I just gave it a rough outline and stood up.
“Right, did some people enter the prison?”
It sucked on the first day, but after a few days, I wondered if some idiots might have been caught. And that thought was not wrong.
“Yes, about 10 came in?”
“Oh! Really?”
Alicia nodded in response. I told her to escort her quickly to her prison.
Alicia left the room she had made for her. She then looked over the tower-shaped prison and pointed to the bottom, first floor.
“It’s swarming over there.”
I looked down at my feet. The lowest of the 40 layers. Concentrating my senses, I felt several small creatures around the gate on the first floor.
“Ohh. Have you tried approaching?”
“No, it’s annoying…”
“After the prison chief fell out…”
Hehe, when the chief meets each and every prisoner, he gets angry.”
“You are laughing.”
Alicia is talking back. I fed her head with honey chestnuts and took a closer look at them.
“Sir, where the fuck are you!!”
“Open the door!!”
Bang bang.
The guys who entered the gate are wandering around the gate, unable to find their way back. I smiled at the fools caught in the trap. Even if it’s a rough plan, every time it works, something feels good.
‘There aren’t any good guys.’
I glanced at the faces of the captives. 8 males and 3 females. There was no need to look at men, and women were not very good looking guys. If it was a pretty bitch, I would have given you special treatment… Too bad.
I told Alicia to keep an eye on the prison and to set aside any useful ones that might come in. Useful guys are, of course, pretty women.
“And even if dangerous-looking guys come in, classify them separately. It would be troublesome to kill all of them while setting up a loach for no reason.”
“Yes.”
The answer is cool.
I put some honey chestnuts on Alicia’s head. Praise makes even a whale dance, Alicia’s voice grew louder after the night.
“Yes!”
“Good good.”
By the way, I don’t like it when these guys goof off on the subject of prisoners.
I crouched down and looked down at the trappers. Guys who keep hanging around the gate. It seems that they are waiting for the gate to open one day.
Obviously most of the gates were two-way, so it made sense for them to hang around there, not knowing that I blocked the exit gate.
“How will we do it?”
“What?”
“I mean those guys.”
“Play with it and kill it. Are you too small to even play with?”
Like a former villain, he naturally spits trashy sounds. Since when did it become common sense to play with and kill people?
“Ah!”
I fed her head with honey chestnuts from Gyodo. And he urged me to come up with a better idea. When I told her to think about something she couldn’t even think of, she glanced at me with eyes asking what to do. Of course, that cheeky look was subdued with one punch from her.
“Hmm… How about using it as bait?”
“Bait?”
“Yes.”
Alicia began to explain the plan she had in mind. To sum up her lengthy explanation, she said to hide treasures all over the prison, give them to those idiots, and then send them out to attract more treasure-obsessed idiots into the prison.
It was a pretty bad suggestion. Except there is no treasure to use as bait.
“Oh, isn’t that bad?”
Hehe.”
“But where is the treasure?”
“Uh, um… Iknow, right?”
I rummaged through my inventory to see if there was anything I could use as bait. Of course there was nothing like that. If there was such a thing, I would have written it long ago.
Even so, it was difficult to create something with absolute power. I intend to use it as bait, but things made with absolute power disappear when you go outside. Something that only worked inside the prison couldn’t catch the idiots in the outside world.
‘Should I sprinkle japtem for now?’
There were no treasures to look at, but japtem was piled up. Those kinds of japtems that are too trash for me to use, and I regret selling them because they are too petty to sell to shops.
It’s a japtem for me, but wouldn’t it be a useful item for outcasts in the lawless zone? I made a suitable monster and put a longsword (E) in it. And sent a monster to the guys gathered around the gate.
“What, what is a monster?”
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Keeeee
The humans who discovered the monster scream and run away. However, some did not run away and rather blocked the monster’s path.
“Search!”
A grim-looking man burrowed into the monster’s arms and swung his fist at him. It wasn’t a particularly strong guy, so with the sound of drums popping, the monster’s body flew into the air.
“Isn’t it okay?”
As if he knew how to use magic, the man hit the monster floating in the air. He got beaten up. Monsters whose physical strength was exhausted reconciled with magic and disappeared like real monsters.
“Fuck, isn’t there even a safe zone here? Some kind of dungeon has no safe zone and can’t get out… Huh? What is that?”
The grumbling man found something shiny in the place where the monster’s corpse had disappeared. A cloud of light like pure white dandelion seeds. The moment the man tilted his head and picked up the group of lights, the group of lights transformed into a long sword.
“Wow! What, what item?”
He picks up the longsword (E). He raised his sleek gray sword and looked curiously at it. It must have been the first time he had ever seen a drop item.
There were very few cases where normal monsters other than boss monsters, and even normal monsters that sucked rice, dropped drop items, so it was understandable. The man looked at the drop item he had never obtained in his life and looked at it curiously.
“What, what? No way…”
Gulp.
The man glared at his longsword and swallowed. He misunderstood that this was a special dungeon. He scanned the interior of the dungeon with greedy eyes. He started looking for more monsters.
‘Ghhh, that stupid guy.’
It was properly caught on a poor bait. Of course, as bad as the bait was, the fish he caught was also poor, but it didn’t matter. After all, he’s just a lab rat.
Profit.
“The door is open!”
“I live!”
I opened the gate behind me. Those who were held with him rushed out of the gate.
The man who caught the monster also threw himself out of the gate. If I don’t go now, I don’t know when it will open again.
But his eyes were still full of greed.
I hope to see you again soon.
‘If possible, bring a pretty cockpit too.’
Of course, I don’t expect much.
