Chapter 6 – 01. A New Beginning
+++
Due to the dimensional collapse that started in China, the world faced a great upheaval.
The NPCs that came in through the cracks made the world look like a game.
Oh, did I mention this before?
Anyway, because of them, the basic framework of the existing world has been completely crumbled, and the concept of ‘nation’ has become very blurred. NPCs took over.
It exists, but it doesn’t play an absolute role like before.
This world seems to be still here, but in the place where I was, the role continued to diminish as time went on, and eventually the era of lords and lords who completely took control of the region through guild warfare and even received taxes was opened. Well, it was almost like Three Kingdoms.
At that point, all things like presidents and politicians lose their power, and only the “Owners” Who exercise their power based on stigma gain power. And almost everyone becomes an owner. Dreaming of that splendid life and eternal life.
Well, that’s still a long way off. It seems that the local lockdown has not been solved yet.
When it comes to region locking, when you play games like that, you see something called a ‘server’, right? What kind of Luna-sup or Zenon-seop?
Each region of a country is divided in this way, so if you go outside the region you belong to, the owners can’t use their strength.
Well, it is possible to travel or drive, but it means that you can’t use your strength as an owner.
Call this local lock.
There is the largest lock (lock) by continent, and within it there are locks by country, lock by region, and lock by administrative region.
Taking Incheon as an example, it is Incheon within Korea within Asia.
But aren’t there several regions in Incheon, such as Seo-gu, Dong-gu, Jung-gu, Michuhol-gu, and Yeonsu-gu? This is the administrative district rock.
Oh, by the way, Incheon is treated as a ‘region’ like Gyeonggi-do or Chungcheong-do because it is a metropolitan area, while general cities such as Suwon are treated as administrative districts.
But as time goes by, slowly, one by one, the regional locks are released from the bottom.
Anyway, why am I suddenly talking about this?
This is because as time goes on, entering the ranker guild called ‘Line’ becomes very, very, very, very important.
And it’s because there is Shin Seo-yul, the gilma of that line, in front of my eyes.
The Changcheon Guild she leads is not an administrative district, but a line guild in ‘Incheon’ that is treated as a region.
What do you mean? If this order is maintained and something like the Siege of Incheon is held, a woman named Shin Seo-yul will become the king who eats the best of Incheon and receives taxes.
“Don’t sell it. That.”
“…”
So, you are proud to say this.
Because you are the king
“Why?”
“Because if I sell it, I will kill you.”
“You are brutal. Then what do I earn for a living?”
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t sell it unconditionally.”
She closed her mouth for a moment.
It looks like it’s thinking about something, but I know it well. What is she thinking about
I’ll probably make a recruiting offer. Because there is a system called Guild Exchange. Only guild members can trade there.
In other words, if I enter the Changchun Guild and post a basic one-handed sword (Normal+) on the Guild Exchange, only Changchun Guild members can buy it.
In a word, you can monopolize the collection.
But there’s a problem. It’s my lowly specs and the full limit of the number of people in the Changchun Guild.
To recruit me, I had to send one of my original guild members down to a lower guild or union guild, but who would easily understand that?
Gao is different from being a member of the LINE guild and being a guild member of the LINE Alliance. In terms of game, I was in the ranker guild, but was forced to move to the alt guild because of my fighting spirit.
“Can I do something more?”
“Yes?”
“Because I haven’t eaten yet. Coffee isn’t enough.”
She smiled as she held up the Double Mocha Espresso Chip Frappuccino (L) she bought her, and she nodded her head shyly. She was simply drinking an Americano (S).
“Ah, yes. Please.”
“But I have no money. Now, why don’t you lend me your credit card for buying me coffee?”
“…”
No matter how much it is in front of the king, a man must be confident.
A woman can tolerate an impudent man, but she can’t stand a man who hesitates. I think I’m belittling myself.
I grabbed the card she held out and walked over to take her order.
It looks like something is stuck in the back, but let’s ignore it.
“Rich ganache & tiramisu cheesecake, blueberry cookie cheesecake, menjirak whipped cream egg tart, breakfast bacon muffin and Jeju black pork barbecue sandwich, please.”
“Yes. Rich Ganache & Tiramisu Cheesecake, Blueberry Cookie Cheesecake, Menjirak Whipped Cream Egg Tart, Breakfast Bacon Muffin, Jeju Black Pork Barbecue Sandwich, right? Total is 39,400 won. Do you have a discount card?”
“No.”
“Do you have a membership discount?”
“No.”
“Earn points—”
“No.”
“Are you paying by card? Please put it here.”
“Give me the receipt.”
“Yes.”
After paying the bill and waiting for about 10 minutes, everything we ordered came out.
In the meantime, I didn’t go back to my seat, I stood and waited.
That was taken care of. So that you can think comfortably.
“Are you done thinking?”
“…”
She widened her eyes at the food I brought.
“Oh, here’s the card.”
“…”
What is this guy all about?
He looks at me with that expression, something sexy.
“… Come into Changchun.”
“Isn’t that the line? That’s 1 lb. A man with extremely low potential for growth.”
“1 lb? But how can such an item… No, how did you pick that skill? The system wouldn’t even open yet.”
“Does it matter? The important thing is whether or not I enter the blue sky.”
“…”
When I said that while enjoying a delicious Jeju black pork barbecue sandwich, she slightly frowned between her eyes.
“Looking at it, the anti-kings (common name for owners who are against the line) are also quite large. Can I see it as a benefit just by simply joining the LINE Guild? The moment I sell only to the guild, I will potentially suffer a huge loss.”
“Why is that a loss? I’ll buy them all anyway and the price will be the same.”
“Wouldn’t the price go up only if demand increased? Guild exchanges and general exchanges have different demands. If you consider this part, won’t I have the heart to join Mr. Shin Seo-yul?”
“…”
She didn’t reply for a moment, she just stared at me with her blank eyes.
She was a little embarrassed to see Beauty staring at her delicious meal, but she should get used to it, thinking that this will be my life here from now on.
“Are you level 1?”
“That’s right.”
“How can I believe that?”
“Should I believe it? Aren’t my skills necessary?”
“…”
Anyway, when you join a guild, things like level come out as guild member information.
What she’s worried about is whether I’m a spy for some anti-king, or maybe some kind of impostor.
But it’s a futile worry. I don’t like anti-kings and I’m not a cheater.
“Under. Originally, I wasn’t going to add to the collection for the time being. I can’t help it. Let me show you.”
I put down the sandwich I was eating and took out the ‘basic top (regular)’ from the basic inventory.
“Okay, take a good look at the information. It’s a normal shop system basic item, isn’t it?”
She nodded her wordlessly.
I showed her
The magic that enhances the stats of this useless piece of junk.
“!”
〈 Basic top (regular +)〉
Dexterity + 2 (+1)
Melee Evasion +4 (+1)
The item stats are still rubbish, but she is greatly surprised.
“How is it. Is it proven now? Also check out the collection.”
“…”
She was silent for a while.
The shock and surprise are quite large.
+++
“Didn’t you go home?”
“Ah… Yes. I have a little work left to do.”
As soon as I proved my ability, Shin Seo-yul immediately brought me to the guild headquarters. She crossed the line, along with the promise of full support at the coalition level.
Sweet life!
“Okay? Great. This is our new guild member.”
“Yes?”
“Hello. My name is Tae Eun-kyung.”
“Ah… Yes.”
The woman who was greeted shyly is Seong Seung-hee, a Changcheon Bugilma that I saw at the lottery booth earlier.
She is also a beauty who is more beautiful when seen up close than when seen from afar.
I don’t know why, but where I lived, there were quite a few women here who could be called ‘celebrity level’.
“Gilma-sama, wait a minute.”
Seong Seung-hee dragged her new teacher Yul into a corner.
Perhaps they are trying to exchange various secret words. Why did you bring a guy who is just a slob, and so on and so on.
But it doesn’t matter.
Because the results won’t change.
Sure enough, the two of them, who had been talking closely, approached shortly after, and Seong Seung-hee, who was looking at me suspiciously, smiled kindly and said,
“My name is Seong Seung-hee from Changcheon Bugilma. Please take good care of me.”
Fuck life is shit
