Chapter 118 – Episode 118. Community
“The demon king… Has finally descended.”
Lee Soo-ah’s voice murmured softly.
But I couldn’t answer her.
Because all her mind was preoccupied with the message that popped up in front of her eyes.
[In addition to the news of the coming of the demon king, we will deliver the goal of the game. When the demon king dies, the game ends with the defeat of the demon army and the victory of the humans. When the hero dies, the game ends with the defeat of the human and the victory of the demon army. All abilities are returned when the game ends. If humans win, Earth will once again become a human world. If the Demon King’s army wins, the earth will be occupied by the demons, and humans will become their slaves.]
It’s only after the demon king descends that the game’s win/loss conditions are announced.
It’s like a joke.
Anyway really…
It’s a game that doesn’t have a single good thing on the human side.
There is nothing to be gained by winning the game, just taking away the power and returning to the old world.
I don’t think this would motivate the human side too much.
If you just want to survive, fight and win… That’s all.
Well, not bad news for me.
If you are a person with strong power, you will have a strong attachment to power, and if you seduce such people well, it will be easy for you to join me in my plan.
The message that had been fixed in front of my eyes for a long time soon moved on to the next message.
It was the update information that I already knew from the rat head.
[The ‘Community’ function is activated. You can use the ‘Bulletin Board’ and ‘Auction Hall’. Please use it yourself for details.]
The demons will start to work properly, so I won’t tell you to be careful.
Well, expecting a lot from this fucking game is a luxury in itself.
After reading the message, I said to Lee Soo-ah, who was staring blankly at the empty space.
“Well, this is something I already know.”
Lee Soo-ah looks at me and answers my words.
“Yes. This is what I felt while reading the message… I think this game really has nothing good for humans. Even if you win, there is no reward to receive…”
You thought the same as me.
I nodded and agreed with Lee Soo-ah.
“I think so too. How insignificant a human being must seem… If you want to live, fight and win. The reward is your life…”
As I was talking with Lee Soo-ah, I suddenly remembered how I used to catch insects and fight with my friends when I was young.
He caught a mantis and a locust and made them fight, and of course the mantis ate the locust.
The mantis who became the victor… Was stepped on by a boy saying it was disgusting.
To God, humans may be worse than the praying mantises and grasshoppers I caught as a child.
Me and my friends brought death to both the winner and the loser of the fight.
God promised life to the victor.
‘…Thinking of it that way makes it seem like the gods are rather merciful.’
I sighed and smiled bitterly before speaking to Lee Soo-ah again.
“Well, whatever the reward for winning is, it has nothing to do with us. Our goal is not to win or lose the game.”
At my words, Lee Soo-ah looks at her niece, Jia.
“… That’s right. We can do what we have to do.”
I smiled at Lee Soo-ah and stood up.
“I will just go for it. I’ll have to go back and take a look at the community features.”
“Ah yes. Min-gu. Please go in carefully. I’d like to see the community as well. Thank you so much for that… Necklace.”
“Because it’s okay. Have a good rest. I will come again.”
I said goodbye to Sua Lee and left the school.
I went to the stationery store across the street and Dongseok, who was guarding the entrance, greeted me.
It was all about looking at me with blank eyes.
I patted Dong-seok on the shoulder and went inside the stationery store.
Yuna Jin and Sieun, who were sitting inside the tent, greeted me.
Yuna Jin said she was really happy when Si-eun realized that she was that Joo-eun.
Was she a fan?
After that, she was Jin Yuna, who was more attached to Shi-eun than other children.
“Oh, brother. You are here.”
Jin Yuna greets me with an awkward voice.
Shi-eun said to me who received her greeting.
“Brother. Yuna said that the message that the demon king had descended appeared..”
“That’s right. They say it descended. And as I said before, the community has been updated.”
“Okay.”
I looked at Yuna Jin and said.
“The only one who can use the community here is me or you. I don’t know how it’s used yet, but please don’t post useless things. Because if you post something strict, you might end up bothering.”
Yuna Jin was taken aback by my words and said,
“Ah yes. There, by the way…”
“?”
“Are the unnies unable to use the community…? Why? Come to think of it, it looks like you didn’t even get the message…”
“I don’t know about that.”
“Yes..”
Yuna Jin lowered her head sullenly.
Hey, why does he look so pitiful?
After scratching her head, I said to Jin Yuna.
“You are not yet a complete colleague of ours. If you give me faith, then you too will be able to become our companions, and then you too will be able to know everything. So until then, just do what you’re told to do. Okay?”
“Yes…”
Leaving Shi-eun calming me down, I went into her cradle of rest.
Juniel, Jiyoon, and Jisoo, who were resting in the cradle, greeted me.
“Master!” “Master, are you here?” “Brother!”
Hmm.
The trio of pretty beauties welcomed me like this.
How can you not be happy?
I greeted my subordinates who greeted me and lay down on the mattress.
The eyes of my subordinates as if they were expecting something.
But wait a bit
Now is not the time for that.
I dragged my Jisoo’s legs and said to Jiyoon and Juniel, who were clinging to either side of me.
“Community is open. I’ll take a look, so wait for me.”
The three of them shut their mouths at my words.
Hear me so well
Because you are so pretty
I shouted ‘community connection’ in my heart, and soon a message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Please select a name to use in the community.]
Hmm, it reminds me of when I used event dungeons before.
At that time, I said ‘Go away’, but it kept coming out because the name had already been used, so in the end I had no choice but to set it to ‘Go away 1234’.
Communities are a feature that will continue to be used, so I will try to use a proper name as much as possible.
I tried registering my first name as ‘KANG’, which is an English translation of my last name, ‘Kang’.
[‘KANG’ can be registered. Would you like to register?]
Oh oh okay?
Since the community was just opened, many people did not register their names.
To be honest, I’ve thought about getting hit a few times.
I immediately registered my name, and soon a dark, translucent panel appeared before my eyes.
‘Notice board’. And two big buttons that say ‘Auction House’.
I first moved my hand and clicked the button on the ‘bulletin board’, and soon a message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Welcome to ‘KANG’ who accessed the bulletin board. We will provide you with information on how to use the bulletin board. Each posting costs 50 gold.
It costs 5 gold to register a comment. Even if the text is in a different language, it will be translated into the language of the user using the bulletin board. ]
Wow, thieves.
50 gold for just one article?
5 gold for writing a comment there?
Aren’t they too expensive?
I have to understand it to some extent.
If it’s too cheap or free, a lot of nonsensical articles will come up.
If you are not a tolerable person, you should give up writing on the bulletin board.
I also find it burdensome to write a post on a bulletin board right now.
It was a situation where I needed 12,000 gold to buy four more ‘Divine Magic Nullification’ necklaces.
You have to save as much as you can until you get the money together.
Until then, you just have to look at the posts that come up.
Surely you won’t get paid to read the article?
Even though it was a global bulletin board, the number of posts on it was small.
In the first place, the community was just opened, and the price was too expensive.
50 gold is enough money to buy a lot of food.
A user who could only use it for writing would not be an average user.
I clicked on the post of the first user who posted at the bottom, that is, the bulletin board opened.
Title: What a wonderful feature. By Miguel
Content: Is it okay to write like this?
… What is this guy.
Did you spend 50 gold just to write something like this?
It seems that he is a person who splashes money in the market.
I also clicked on other articles.
Most of the articles were written as experiments to find out how to use the bulletin board for the first time, so I didn’t see anything special.
There will be articles worth seeing here after a little more time.
I left the bulletin board behind and clicked the Auction House button.
[Welcome to ‘KANG’ who has accessed the auction house. We will guide you through the use of the auction house. Any object that exists in real life can be registered on the auction house, and the minimum auction starting price is 1 gold. Depending on the level of use of the auction house, the number of items that can be uploaded at one time is limited, and the fee for using the auction house also varies according to the level of use of the auction house. ‘KANG’’s current rank is ‘Bronze’, and 100 Gold of winning bid income is required to be promoted to the next rank, ‘Silver’.]
Hmm, what a system.
It doesn’t seem too difficult.
I clicked on the ‘Usage Rating’ item on the side.
[Auction house usage level
Bronze: Number of items that can be registered for auction: 10 Bid fee: 30% of the bidding cost
Silver: Number of items that can be registered for auction: 30 Bid fee: 20% of the bidding cost
Gold: Number of items that can be registered for auction: 50 Bid fee: 10% of the bidding cost
Platinum: Number of auction items that can be registered: 100 Bid fee: 5% of the winning bid cost]
Hmmm, I guess I know how to use it.
I ordered Jiyoon to pick up only ten of the weapons piled up on one side of the Cradle of Rest.
In the meantime, I have been farming hard every time I have a large-scale battle, so there are a lot of weapons piled up on the other side of the cradle of rest.
I should sell all of this.
But how do you register?
Looking at the panel in front of me, I found a button called ‘Register’ on one side.
Click the register button
[Push the item you want to register into the panel.]
Message was printed out.
I picked up one of the weapons Jiyoon brought and pushed it into the panel in front of me.
A sword that disappears as if being sucked into it.
A message that will be displayed again soon.
[Please set the starting price for the auction.]
Hmm, I heard it starts with 1 gold.
The sword you just put inside is a sword that can be bought at a shop for about 30 gold.
If so, maybe I should start with about 10 gold, right?
I set the starting price at 10 gold, and put all the other items on the auction house.
‘It has done all it needs to do… Let’s see if anything interesting has been posted on the auction house.’
I started browsing the auction house.
