Chapter 39 – 05
+++
With the advent of NPCs, all major powers in the world were deleted.
And the place was occupied by the NPCs who occupied the earth.
The countless power organizations that still remain are just vestigial institutions.
The form remains, and there are people who actually work, but they are not functioning effectively.
The most notable is the police.
Only very basic roles could be performed, and even that, in a situation where there was a conflict with the owner, the police organization had to step back unconditionally.
It was an unacceptable reality for the police, who pride themselves on defending and believing in ‘justice’.
“It’s a spectacle, very.”
A conference room with only five people.
The woman in her seat of honor clicked her tongue as if it were ridiculous.
What you are watching is an internet broadcast.
It was a real-time streaming of the LP shopping mall in Guwol-dong, which is currently becoming a hot topic.
“Someone is running after becoming the owner because he has no money or LPs, and someone is making a big joke in the middle of the city.”
Oh Eun-ha (superintendent), head of the Incheon Police Department vs. Owner countermeasures research group.
The new head of the department, who had just been created for a week, looked at the woman praying fervently in her video and clicked her tongue.
The age of 50,000 owners in Korea.
A whopping 0.1% of the population is addicted to gambling in this era.
It’s not a money gamble where you lose money and eat money, it’s the craziest gamble in human history where you risk your life to earn your life.
It would be fortunate if the success rate was high, but about 30% of all owners are in fact retired even after paying for the stigma by paying an expensive lifespan (LP).
The reasons were varied. The monsters are so hideous that I can’t even get close to them, the atmosphere of the mirror world is so scary that I can’t go there, and once I die, I can’t do it again, etc.
The problem is that they have consumed at least 9 years of life (3,300LP, 1 stigma) and are unable to produce additional LPs.
That’s at least 9 years, and there are cases where you can’t even hunt properly even after replacing a lifespan of at most tens of years.
The police department is somehow negotiating with a group of NPCs and providing them with minimum LP support and various rehabilitation programs.
But, of course, these efforts did not see much light, and people’s eyes were not very good due to the chronic shortage of manpower.
“You are acting like a king these days. The collection man is also stuck next to him. Looking at it, they didn’t just chat, they brought in a variety of things, from a pastor invited by a certain church, a priest directly dispatched from the Vatican, and a monk from Shaolin Temple who trained for 50 years.”
“Under… Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few thousand?”
“Oh, what is a few thousand? Even if it’s good, it’ll be 8,000. It should be considered that at least one apartment was ruined.”
“Crazy bitch.”
Oh Eun-ha spat out curses without even realizing it.
There is nothing particularly strange about it. Most of the people watching the broadcast were also criticizing what kind of money this was.
It is even spreading abroad.
For reference, this is not an official broadcast from Changchun.
It’s just that someone is streaming on their own.
“What did your parents do?”
“No. He’s from an orphan, and he’s been famous since he was in school. I also went to ‘school (juvenile detention center)’.”
“Why are you there?”
“During middle school, Iljin must have touched me like Gao-bu. Is it 30 times with a ballpoint pen on the spot? In any case, they gave me an egg and even made me go blind?”
“… The cotyledons are so different that they are shining brilliantly. It’s golden. It’s golden.”
“The fact that Byeolseom was dismantled this time was also publicly revealed. Cutting off limbs, threatening to impregnate her… Just a bitch is not just a bitch.”
“It’s scary, really.”
Eunha clicks her tongue and turns over the papers on the New Seoyul.
The achievements she had shown so far, especially after becoming the owner and establishing Changchun, were truly a series of admiration and astonishment.
“But. If you want to eat Incheon, you have to do this. What kind of ordinary city is this?”
“Write… Shall we take a little bite? I just visited a bit in passing… What like this Well, it’s the Incheon line, and it’s the biggest guild in Incheon. Just kinda like that what so You can do it.”
“What is it like that all the time? Say it right, bitch.”
“No. Do you rule Incheon? Occupied? What kind of guild, and the police in charge of Incheon. It’s something we can talk about.”
“What are the police saying? I’d be glad if I didn’t get hit on the cheek. And you are a man How many people came out of there, do you want to go in there?”
“Kid… I hope the tomag… Will the police do that?”
He said so, but his voice grew smaller as time went by.
It wasn’t a place she thought she could enter without thinking.
Oh Eun-ha clicked her tongue and looked at her subordinate and suddenly came up with a good idea.
“Wait. Guys called owners… You can’t use your strength when you’re out of her area, right? Stigma locked.”
“Yes. That’s why Gilma, Byeolseom, was treated so vainly.”
“… If you do this well… How do you think the owner can touch it?”
“? Hey, Captain? Although we have formed a grandiose organization called the Great Owner Countermeasure Team due to orders from the ignorant superior… In the first place, the owner can’t touch it because of the NPC?”
“That’s right. Because we are common people But what if we become owners too?”
“Yes?”
“We, the cops, can become owners and catch them. If you say something, ‘This is not a police activity, it is a guild activity. As the same owner, I can only deal with the hostile owner.'”
“No, that… Can I?”
“Cops in other regions and countries must have the same concerns as us. If this can be linked globally, it will be possible to somehow send the owners who are in trouble in Korea to a foreign country and put them in prison there. And since it’s not the domain of Korean owners, I can’t use my strength. Of course, jailbreak is impossible.”
“Isn’t it impossible to send from Korea to a foreign country?”
“That’s why you have to become an owner even more.”
“No…”
Eun-ha Oh’s eyes lit up at the trick she thought of at the moment, but her subordinates were reluctant to notice.
The owner said to reduce the lifespan of at least 9 years to pull out the stigma, but it was not an easy decision to make.
“Didn’t the captain directly tell you earlier? Some say that even after becoming an owner, they have no money and no LPs, so they are on the verge of searching. Is there any way we can’t do that?”
The stigma that most people pick up when they first become owners is between 1 and 5.
Anything more than that is a serious burden. Especially for older people.
Even if it’s just chapter 5, it cuts off a whopping 45 years of life, but isn’t it the same as putting death in front of adults standards?
Even if you grit your teeth and take it out, there is a 97% chance of getting (Normal) or (Advanced).
Low-grade Stigma has low specs, but also low Life Recovery (Weekly Life) value, so if you die once or twice, you can no longer hunt ‘Anchor (a state where all the extra lives granted by Stigma are exhausted. If you die here again, you really die. .)’ State.
Stigma is low grade.
There are no skills, or even if there are, it is a low-grade shop system, and the items are also basic settings.
Mirror World is not an easy place for a novice owner to survive.
“And it is already very late. Look at him How much do you spend on drawing? The amount of LP that was blown to pick up the legendary stigma is over 100 million. 100 million! They’re not kids that novices like us can compete with.”
“…”
Oh Eun-ha, who had been excited about thinking of a good idea, quickly became sullen.
Even she thought, it seemed difficult for the owners to catch up with her line.
“It’s better to scout guys like Gilma from Star Island. I will have enough grudges.”
“Uh?”
“… Uh?”
+++
“Goddess of Heaven and Earth, bestow blessings upon this insignificant creature, and look upon it…”
“Namu Amitabha Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva…”
“They spit me out with their lives. .”
“Jehovah God, who created the heavens and the earth and governs all prosperity and success…”
“I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth…”
Fuck. It’s so fucking confusing.
This is right?
“Sister. If there really was a God, they would have said, “You two bitch!” That they worship idols. Don’t you think so?”
“No. The fathers I know are very generous and compassionate.”
You’re a father Have you already become so faithful?
It’s even How many are there?
“Now, put this on your forehead too.”
“No.”
My older sister handed out some yellow amulets.
Me and Jihee noona. And it was given to onlookers and even to ministers and priests.
What’s funny is that people are getting it again and putting it on their foreheads, but it’s normal people, I don’t know if pastors and priests can do that.
“Hurry up and put it on.”
“Ah yes.”
Now it’s beyond sad and even cute.
If you’ve done this, please come out. Legend.
