[Episode 06] Construction (2)
“erection?”
The moment those words are uttered.
Jiiing―
As the corner area of the house expanded, a unique feeling arose and the entire apartment came into view.
‘Huh. Again?’
I instinctively prepared myself for the pain that was to come, but
‘······?’
What came was not pain, but a new system window.
[Currently buildable facilities]
-Solar power generator (133,000,000 won)
-Store (219,900,000 won)
– Gym (300,000,000 won)
[Support amount: 1,000,000,000 won]
I couldn’t help but be astonished at the prices of these facilities, each of which was ridiculous.
The cheapest one was a solar power generator that cost 130 million won.
‘Solar power generator.’
When I selected it, a solar power plant appeared translucently on the roof of the apartment.
It looked exactly like the ones sometimes installed on rooftops or rooftops of houses.
A brief explanation was included with it, explaining that the amount of electricity produced each day and any surplus electricity would be converted into money and put into the Absolute’s wallet.
And the efficiency of solar power generators converted into monetary value.
‘Only 30 million won a year?’
It costs a whopping 130 million won to install, but the annual production volume is only about 30 million won.
That means, in order to get your principal back, you need to hold it for at least 5 years.
[Do you really want to install it?]
[Yes / No]
‘no.’
I felt like it was a waste of money.
‘There are so many places where money needs to go right now.’
As the population of the city grew to several hundred people, the amount of electricity consumed increased, but it was not yet at a level where solar power generators were needed.
‘I’d rather use this money to raise Ha Dong-geon’s level by one more.’
Just when I was starting to lose interest in the construction function, I noticed the subsidy section at the very bottom of the construction section.
1 billion.
It was a huge sum of money received by conquering an entire apartment building.
But something was a little strange.
‘Could this be it?’
※Support Fund: This amount can only be used when constructing a facility.
‘ah···!’
This makes a difference.
Although it was a huge sum of money, 1 billion, it was completely different from the money I had in my wallet.
It’s just a picture of a pie in the sky that can’t be used unless it’s being built.
‘Then I have to use them all.’
I didn’t have to worry about spending the 1 billion won that was like a pie in the sky to save the cash I had.
[Do you really want to install it?]
[Yes / No]
‘yes.’
[Time remaining until completion of solar power generation facility]
-23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
In an instant, the amount of support changed.
[Support amount: 867,000,000 won]
‘Use it. But it’s still a waste.’
Since it could only be used for construction anyway, it was no different from game points, but it was painful to see a huge sum of money, over 100 million, disappear.
I’ve never spent this much money before.
‘Can you install one more?’
It was written that the surplus electricity used in the citizens’ lives would be converted into money and brought into the Absolute’s wallet.
The calculation is that as more electricity is produced, more money will come into your wallet.
But it didn’t go that easily.
[A maximum of one solar power generator can be installed per apartment building.]
‘Tsk.’
Unfortunately, in order to increase the solar power generation facilities, it seemed necessary to raise the level of the corner declaration and conquer the surrounding apartments first.
‘What’s the store?’
Even though the price was over 200 million, it didn’t matter.
That’s because they were planning to use up all of the subsidy, which amounted to 1 billion won anyway.
‘Hmm?’
The store was a more novel concept than I thought.
It was a facility that was linked to the shop skill of the absolute owner of the corner of the house, and it was a place where I could sell items that I had personally registered.
But what was unusual was that there was no need for a separate cashier.
It was a system that produced items in real time when you paid money in front of a translucent object.

‘Are you okay?’
During that time, making relief supplies and sending them down was also a task.
However, if a store is installed, citizens can purchase the items they need on their own.
I wanted to give it the highest score because I didn’t have to worry about it separately.
‘I can set the price too.’
Currently, store items can be purchased at a 20% discount, but if these are displayed in the store at their original price, a profit of 20% is made.
Also, if you install this, you will inevitably have to distribute the settlement money to the citizens, so you will be able to use the tax collection skill usefully.
‘Then, we can increase the percentage of settlement money distributed to citizens.’
Now that there is a way to recover it, the settlement money distributed to citizens doesn’t feel that wasteful.
You can bring as much as you need.
Although it may be a bit cruel, it would be easy to recoup the money by immediately raising the prices of essentials like water and rice.
‘Of course, it’s unlikely that it will go that far.’
The store’s advantages did not end there.
‘Install it now.’
Tiring!
[Please decide where to set up the store.]
Unlike the solar power plants installed on the roof, the convenience store required a whole generation to be torn down, and there happened to be a suitable location.
‘Room 101.’
The first and second floors were left in shambles by goblins.
They couldn’t even clean it separately, so they just tore it down when they installed a store.
Things like broken windows and goblin poop are cleaned up in an instant.
[Time remaining until completion of store facility construction]
-47 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
‘The last one is… the gym?’
When I first saw it, I thought, “What kind of useless facility is this?”
The apartment community facilities included a gym, but I never went there.
Because I wasn’t particularly interested in exercising.
However, the gym created by the construction system had a slightly different meaning.
《Gym》
Basic training ground for citizens.
You can increase your strength and stamina, and your training efficiency increases by 200% when training here. If you are a citizen below level 15, you will receive an additional 300% efficiency bonus.
‘omg.’
I knew I could level up through exercise, even if it wasn’t necessarily a quest reward.
On average, the more actively citizens exercised, the higher their level was.
You could tell just by looking at the fact that Kim Min-ho, a former bodybuilder, was level 15.
According to the gym’s description, it means that you can grow to Kim Min-ho’s level almost 5 times faster.
In addition, there is a buff that increases exercise efficiency, so it seems like it would be very efficient if used together with the quest reward.
Tiring!
[Please decide where to install the gym.]
Unlike a convenience store, a gym required a larger space.
So, I turned the entire second floor into a gym.
[Time left until construction of gym facility is completed]
-71 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
After installing the gym, the remaining subsidy was about 350 million won.
‘You wrote it well.’
Thanks to the grant, I felt refreshed because I didn’t have to spend any of my own money.
‘Okay, then.’
A construction function that suddenly appeared.
This was just an appetizer.
‘It was quite tasty for an appetizer, thanks to the 1 billion won in subsidies.’
Even so, the main was separate.
After disabling construction mode and returning my senses to their original state, I opened the skill window and checked.
[Skill Points Available: 3]
When you reach level 10, you will gain 3 skill points.
Additionally, all of them had the [+] button activated next to the level, except for the Invisible Hand skill obtained at level 8 and the Corner Repair skill obtained at level 9.
There was no need to worry.
Because I had already decided which skills to level up.
‘The shop of the absolute, the maintenance of the absolute’s dignity, the eyes of the absolute.’
First, I leveled up the Absolute’s shop.
[The Absolute Shop skill in the corner of the house has reached Lv. 5.]
[The number of items that can be registered has increased to 500.]
[Itemization feature added.]
“···what?”
At level 4, the number of items that could be registered was only 80.
Then, when it reached level 5, the number increased to 500.
Plus, new features added.
〔Itemization〕
You can purchase registered products by capacity, and you can also purchase products with similar concepts.
Although the store was a very good ability, it had some inconveniences.
For example, only items with a set capacity could be purchased.
For water, you had to buy it in bundles of 12, each 2L, and for tangerines, you had to buy them in 3kg boxes at the very least.
Now it seemed possible to buy them individually, in quantities that were needed.
‘I understand the explanation above, but what does it mean to be able to purchase products with a similar concept?’
I turned on the store just to test it out.
“huh?”
However, the store that reached level 5 was slightly different from before.
-water
When I selected the slot that said just water instead of Jeju Samdasoo, various types of items appeared.
“and.”
Starting with the 2L Samdasoo that was originally registered, there were also smaller capacities like 500ml, and even water from other brands like Isis and Sparkle.
‘Not everything is there.’
Even so, the range of choices has expanded significantly compared to before.
‘What happened to the others?’
I looked straight into ramen.
As the survivors joined, they registered various types of ramen, including Jjapaghetti and Shin Ramyun, in addition to Jin Ramen Mild Flavor, but they were all combined into one slot.
-ramen
And there were various types of ramen, including Buldak Bokkeummyeon and Neoguri.
‘There are many more types than water.’
The itemization feature alone greatly enriches the contents of the store.
‘Good timing.’
I like the variety of products that have been created in line with the construction of the store.
‘Then let’s level up other things too.’
The skill to maintain the dignity of the absolute and the eyes of the absolute.
As I leveled up my skills, I couldn’t help but raise the corners of my mouth when I saw the newly-added features.
‘This could be quite useful, right?’
***
“Whoaap!”
Kang Deok-su, who was covered in silver armor all over his body, swung his halberd at the orc.
The orc also swung his glaive at Kang Deok-su, but his attack was unable to penetrate the silver armor and was simply bounced off.
Kak!
On the other hand, Kang Deok-su’s attack was different.
Crunch!
“Kueeeeek!”
The orc’s shoulder was severed with a single blow.
Thanks to the daily quests, Kang Deok-su’s strength had increased considerably, and his attacks were quite fierce.
“Phew.”
At that time, Ha Dong-geon spoke to him.
“Deoksu.”
“ok?”
“I’m just curious, what happens if you throw that?”
Kang Deok-su asked while looking at the halberd pointed at by Ha Dong-geon.
“This? Why that all of a sudden?”
“Just give me a moment. I have something to try.”
“What? No, wait a minute···!”
No matter how hard Kang Deok-su worked out, Ha Dong-geon was only level 33.
In the first place, there is bound to be a significant difference in physical specifications.
Kang Deok-su, who had his weapon stripped away helplessly, was forced to watch Ha Dong-geon swing his halberd at another orc.
Crunch! Phew!
“Pretty much!”
“······Huh. Crazy guy.”
He just stared blankly at Ha Dong-geon, who was cutting off the necks of the orcs with far greater force than himself.
And then.
Wedge!
He could only watch blankly as his halberd flew away.
“Hey! What if you really throw that!”
Hadong Geon responded calmly.
The flying halberd spoke to Kang Deok-su immediately after destroying the orc’s body.
“Phew. Now, unsummon it and try summoning it again.”
“ok?”
Only then did Kang Deok-su notice Ha Dong-geon’s intentions and nodded his head in response.
“Just wait!”
Jiiing―
The halberd that had flown far away disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was in Kang Deok-su’s hand.
“Okay, okay! Dong-geon, are you a genius?!”
“Don’t be so excited.”
at that time.
“I have to get out now! I don’t have many arrows left!”
Kim Ga-young could be said to be one of the key dealers of the party along with Ha Dong-geon.
When her arrows ran out, she had to return to the apartment even though she had a lot of time left.
however.
Jiiing―
“uh?”
Arrows were being created in real time before Kim Ga-young’s eyes.
