How to Survive as a Player Chapter 8

#8

“There, there! Let’s all gather again for a moment. “I will give you one piece of clothing before you go, so you can change into that, and don’t wear any other clothes, as they are prohibited from now on.”

How is that damn ‘show’ not going? Sehyun let out a long sigh as she watched Gapjun Kim taking clothes out of his inventory and distributing them to the residents.

The clothes that Gapjun Kim was providing were the everyday clothes of the residents who came as compensation for building the village. It was a brown plain t-shirt and black pants, and was an initial support item with a unity stat. If we kept wearing those clothes, it would be like dust, but our sense of unity increased. About 2 points per 100 days?

When working, you have the advantage of having your hands and feet fit well together.

“Brother, let’s go get it too.”

“okay.”

Everyone was already dissatisfied with their attire. Although Lee Jae-young was wearing a school uniform, Baek Do-hyun was dressed in a suit. After completing his awakening, Kwak Jeong-han wore the clothes unique to his race that the existing character was wearing, but he expressed his firm determination to wear everyday clothes, saying that he would wear the same clothes for uniformity.

“Why did you guys come?”

“You should give it to us too.”

“I? why? What can I do with people who are not even my residents? Oh, by the way, then you can become a resident.”

He didn’t say anything when he stood in line, but when he held out his hand, a sarcastic comment flew in right away. In addition, Kim Gap-jun continued to laugh out loud, saying that he was seeing strange things. It seems very absurd.

Sehyun’s eyes, who had been looking at the scene intently, suddenly softly closed. Sehyun immediately began to talk in a friendly manner, just as he held out his hand.

“Look, Mr. Australopithecus. If you keep acting like this, you can go to another town. We can go and reveal everything about this place and have a meal together, so our Pithecus will be able to sleep well at night. If you compete outside now, your blood will burst… .”

“You bastard! Oh, you can give it to me! If you give it! And what the f*ck, you keep calling me Pithecus!”

“Oh, what should I do when it looks like that?”

“W-What?!”

“Looking at it like this, it looks like Homo habilis.”

“100 million… ! Ah, my backbone! “Pick it in the back!”

Se-hyeon leisurely snatched the clothes from Kim Gap-jun’s hand, who was holding the back of his neck, and then turned his back and came out without any hesitation. Behind Se-hyeon, Lee Jae-young, Kwak Jeong-han, and Baek Do-hyeon followed suit.

“First of all, everyone gets one… “Once you wear it, it will adjust to the right size.”

“Thank you, Sehyun. “I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life.”

“Hyung, are you going to wear it here? “Can’t I go in and change?”

“Hmm, the fabric looks poor quality.”

Seeing the temporary residents taking the clothes and saying a word to each other, Sehyeon waved his hand as if telling them to take care of it. As a result, Se-hyeon had to be dragged into the hut by Lee Jae-young.

After changing neatly and tightly tying my belt, I saw Kwak Jeong-han and Baek Do-hyeon standing in casual clothes, probably because they had changed outside, holding the clothes they had previously worn.

Sehyun rolled up her sleeves and spoke in passing.

“Those clothes go into your inventory, so don’t throw them away. Put them in. “You don’t know what will happen later.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Take it, here’s the program schedule.”

“You probably didn’t receive it directly… .”

“Don’t be mistaken because it was distributed by the Archduke.”

As Baek Do-hyun accepted the program schedule presented to him, Lee Jae-young came close to him. Sehyun lowered Lee Jaeyoung’s paper down so she could see him clearly and began to slowly look through it.

Fortunately, the two people’s hearts seemed to have reached each other, and Se-hyeon and Baek Do-hyeon were put into different groups. Baek Do-hyun was listed in group 2, and Se-hyun and Lee Jae-young were listed in group 3. There were a total of four groups, with five people in each group.

“Are you guys planning on awakening?”

“What about Baek Do-hyun? “This is a sensitive issue for both of us, so please tell us first, right?”

Baek Do-hyeon turned his back without saying anything, as if he knew those words would come out. The place he was heading was next to the well where breakfast was being prepared.

“It seems like it’s not easy for him to open up.”

“Well, this is the situation.”

Baek Do-hyeon did not put the clothes in his inventory as Se-hyeon had told him to, but instead threw them into the burning furnace. The way his back was turned away coldly, as if he would never wear it again, seemed very mysterious.

However, Se-hyeon was not very wise enough to care about each and every person. It’s hard to fill my mouth right now, so I don’t even have time to worry about others.

“Let’s go eat something too. Jaeyoung, are you hungry?”

“uh… “No, I’m fine.”

“It’s okay. Today is the first day, so I’m probably going to kill you. “Let’s eat bread together.”

Patting Lee Jae-young on the back, Se-hyeon and Kwak Jeong-han walked towards the place where the fragrant smell was coming from. It was a situation full of sighs, but on the other hand, it was a good environment to live without thinking.

It would be great if we could just live by doing our jobs, helping each other, and building a village, but unfortunately, Elix did not allow that.

This was because invasions were carried out like eating a meal. In fact, even lower-middle-ranking empires were anxious to prey on each other, and they were also very territorial, such as being territorial in order to occupy a good location.

As a result, there were many players who went to extreme lengths to grow their empire. Little did I know that it was a shortcut to defeat.

“… It tastes awful.”

This was what everyone who sat near the tree after receiving their food uttered as soon as they took a bite. Just to put it mildly, this was almost water level. It also tastes like vinegar. It seems to have been made by soaking mixed grains provided by Kim Gap-Jun, but perhaps something strange was added, so I could taste all kinds of flavors. No, first of all it was too disgusting.

It wasn’t just Se-hyun’s side, but whistling sounds could be heard from all over the place. Still, everyone drank it down without giving it up. I instinctively realized that I had to eat.

Sehyun also did not lose out and held his nose and took a gulp. He couldn’t help it. This was because the food procurement team in charge of the morning that went to collect fish came back empty-handed.

“When is Jeonghan’s turn?”

“Ah, it’s dinner. “I will make sure to bring you something sturdy.”

It’ll be better at night though. As I looked at Kwak Jeong-han’s solemn face as he confidently spoke, the thought of fratricide came to mind, but he did not bother to say it. He simply took Lee Jae-young’s bowl with his tongue out, held his nose, and inhaled it again. Instead, bread was held in Lee Jae-young’s hands.

“If it continues like this… It seems good.”

“no. never.”

“Yes, I know that. but… I think it would be okay to just live a simple life like this, just doing your own thing. “It’s safe here, and people are gradually getting used to it, so there’s no need to do something dangerous.”

A bitter smile stayed on Kwak Jeong-han’s lips. It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Kwak Jeong-han’s feelings. However, he could say this because he did not know Elix at all. tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, he will painfully realize how absurd this thought was.

Still, Sehyeon didn’t hate Kwak Jeonghan for thinking like this.

“hmm… Jeonghan. There’s nothing I can do to help, but… “I can listen to whatever your concerns are, so if you have any concerns, please let me know later.”

“As expected, Sehyun is a very nice person.”

“I guess it only appears that way to Kwak Jeong-han.”

Kwak Jeong-han quickly shook off his depressed appearance and gulped down the porridge he was holding in his hand. It felt amazing to see his face color not change at all. Either that, or Guo Jeong-han’s people have lost their sense of taste. It was a pretty reasonable guess.

A watery porridge with a foul smell.

It was my first meal in a village that I never wanted to eat again. Everyone seemed to have regretted their first meal, but from then on, they began to take the initiative and take action. Among them, the one that stood out the most was the food procurement team. The firm determination to catch fish could be felt even from 100 meters away.

Of course, the chore crew did not fall behind. The figures carrying large wooden barrels on their backs and moving solemnly into the forest looked like they were going to catch at least a wild boar.

When I saw the village chief smiling from afar, I even thought that he had given me the vinegar porridge on purpose. Otherwise, there’s no way I would like it that much.

But unfortunately, everyone had to eat the same vinegar porridge for lunch as for breakfast. Fortunately, everyone was able to pick up a piece of fish and eat it in the evening, thanks to Kwak Jeong-han, who had a sense of duty on his back, perhaps because he saw people running away saying they wouldn’t eat it.

Everyone’s eyes on Kwak Jeong-han seemed to be looking at a hero. It was worth it. Otherwise, he would have been looking for the wild boar all night.

However, despite the sight of people eating fish with great emotion, Kwak Jeong-han had a somewhat dark expression. Even the fish that everyone else was eating was not in his hand. He was just staring down at his hands as if he was measuring something.

In the end, Kwak Jeong-han had to spend time eating without food. As if he wasn’t sad about starving, as soon as meal time was over, Kwak Jeong-han turned around and headed to his dorm first. There were no further plans for the future.

Se-hyeon, who was eagerly catching and tearing at the fish, caught his gaze for a moment on Kwak Jeong-han’s wide back. But it only lasted a moment, and Sehyun looked away again and started eating the fish.

Kwak Jeong-han’s troubles, which he thought would last a long time, ended up being shorter than expected. To be precise, when Sehyun came in after finishing the meal and asked Gapjun Kim to give him the toothbrush he had made.

“Request for consultation?”

“yes. Isn’t that possible?”

“There’s no such thing… “I’ll start by brushing my teeth.”

Sehyeon left the hut again, holding a toothbrush soaked in water in his mouth. When Se-hyeon brushed his teeth and returned to the cabin, Kwak Jeong-han was sitting in front of the door. I don’t know what he was thinking, but his expression was even worse than during meal time.

For now, Se-hyeon led Kwak Jeong-han to the lakeside at the back of the village, avoiding attention.
