[Episode 06] Construction (3)
As soon as I started supplying arrows in real time, Kim Ga-young started shooting arrows without stopping.
Now, you can fire indiscriminately at optimal moments, even when support isn’t necessarily needed.
It was all thanks to the new features that emerged as the Absolute’s Eye skill leveled up.
〔Multitasking〕
You can use other skills in the area you are observing with the eyes of the Absolute.
Kim Ga-young’s influence has doubled since she can supply arrows in real time through the store.
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).]
[Gain experience points.]
[2,100,338 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).]
······
······
Notifications of hunting orcs were pouring in like sausages.
All of these were Kim Ga-young’s majors.
The number of orcs she hunted far exceeded the number of orcs Ha Dong-geon hunted.
‘···I didn’t mean to wish for this much.’
[Citizens Kim Ga-young, Ha Dong-geon, Kang Deok-su, Moon Byeong-ho, Yoo Hye-rin, and Kim Geon completed the quest.]
[Quest cost is 2,332,580 won.]
The quest to hunt 100 orcs that I had just given was completed in an instant.
‘Kim Ga-young is ranked first in contribution.’
When a party quest is given, the order in which the names appear is the order in which they contributed to the quest.
So, what this means is that Kim Ga-young caught more orcs than Ha Dong-geon.
‘The picture changes so much just by supplying arrows.’
The higher your contribution, the more quest rewards you get.
The price for hunting 100 orcs was ‘a large amount of experience points’.
[Citizen Kim Ga-young’s level has increased.]
‘Oh. Level up.’
In the case of Gasin, there were two main ways to level up.
One way is to simply use money to level up your characters raw. The method is simple. All you have to do is press the [+] button next to the level of your vassals.
This method is not usually used, but Kim Ga-young invested 5 million won specifically to raise it to level 25.
This is because the hunting efficiency was extremely good compared to the fact that it only awakened a C-rank ability.
Of course, this method will not be used much in the future.
Because I found a more efficient way.
‘You can also level up by increasing your stats or gaining experience points as a quest reward.’
Even the efficiency would have been much better if it had been increased through quest rewards.
This is how I came to know about it.
A few days ago, after I found out that the daily quest bonus rewards were quite sweet, I started giving 3 daily quests to all my vassals and had them complete them.
But on the second day, or to be exact, when Choi Hyeong-jun completed his fifth strength quest.
This alarm popped up out of the blue.
[Citizen Choi Hyeong-jun’s level has increased.]
I checked and found that Choi Hyeong-jun’s level had really increased to 21.
‘If you level up with raw money, it costs 1 million won, but if you use quest assignments, you can level up in just five or six times.’
If you increase your abilities as a quest reward, the actual cost will be around 100,000 won.
Here, the cost decreases depending on the quest difficulty or content.
In the end, I was able to level up Choi Hyeong-jun for less than 300,000 won through quests.
1 million won was reduced to 300,000 won.
Of course, it gets a little tough from level 25.
From level 25 to level 30, it costs a huge amount of money, 10 million won, to level up, so even if you level up through quest rewards, it usually takes a long time.
To collect 10 million won worth of items, you will need to complete the quest at least 100 times.
However, through various experiments, we found a way to shorten the time.
The method was very simple.
‘You can give better quest rewards.’
Just like this party quest, you can give a ‘large amount’ of experience points as a quest reward.
Then, although it costs some money, you can see the results right away like now.
‘And it only cost 2 million won.’
This time, the Ha Dong-geon party earned about 250 million won by hunting 100 orcs.
Honestly, I didn’t regret investing 2 million won at all.
Because it was producing an efficiency several times greater than the money put in.
“Give me a party quest with the same content. Hunt 100 orcs.”
I would have been willing to invest more, but unfortunately that was not possible.
‘This is the best we can do for now.’
I tried experimenting with modifiers like enormous, many, and tremendous, but all of these were converted to the modifier ‘large amount’ and used.
So, for now, ‘a large amount of experience’ is the best.
Setting quest rewards to ‘experience points’ also had another advantage: the increased specs varied depending on who gained the experience points.
In Kim Ga-young’s case, her body vision and agility were seen to increase, and in Ha Dong-geon’s case, her muscle strength and stamina were seen to increase rapidly.
Even without specifying each one individually, the most necessary stats for each person tended to increase.
So now, unless there is a special reason, experience points are used as quest rewards.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that the only skills that can be used for multitasking are shops and warehouses.’
If I could use my invisible hand, I would have sent the Hadonggun party towards Nambumindong right away.
It was a power that easily subdued a level 28 enemy.
Most monsters could probably be subdued by the invisible hand alone.
However, I couldn’t use the invisible hand because it was a skill that grew out of my body and took root.
‘Still, there is a glimmer of hope.’
The distance from here to my hometown is only about 10km.
It was a distance that could easily be reached in about 3 hours on foot.
However, the reason why I couldn’t give them the quest to save their parents was simple.
Scrub
After giving Kim Ga-young a generous amount of arrows, he moved the absolute being’s point of view to the rooftop.
‘······.’
The top of a high-rise apartment building built on a mountainside.
Since you are looking from a high place, you can see quite far away.
Thanks to this, the entire city could be seen at a glance from here.
Seomyeon, one of Busan’s representative downtown areas, lives up to its reputation with its vibrant nighttime lights, tall buildings, and young people gathering there.
But now.
‘This is miserable.’
That place was filled with death, let alone vitality.
Even the word hell is not enough.
The roads that were usually filled with cars were now filled with strange creatures moving around instead of cars, and black smoke was rising from buildings here and there.
Shattered glass window.
A building with a sunken side.
Even the tall buildings were lying on their sides, charred black as if they had exploded.
Even if war broke out, I thought things would be better than this.
Ugh
I know that too.
In this fu*king world, the chances of my family surviving are close to zero.
‘We have to hurry.’
But I still can’t give up hope, because if I don’t do something like this, if I don’t believe that my parents are alive.
‘There is no time.’
Because it felt like it might collapse at any moment.
‘Should I at least send Ha Dong-gun to the party?’
Three days ago, Kim Geon succeeded in making all of Ha Dong-geon’s party members vassals by meeting the registration requirements.
『Name: Kim Gun (Lv. 22) [+]
Title: [The Seventh Bell]
Trust: 59 Loyalty: 33
Awakening Ability: Raven Ministry
★Quest Granting』
In addition, the skill that Kim Geon acquired was a C-rank skill that allowed him to command a crow, and he was using it for reconnaissance.
Kim Geon also played a big role in sending reconnaissance missions outside the apartment to investigate the Hadonggun party.
‘No. I have to send it after completing the combination.’
The combination I wanted was to add the powerful bruiser, Owen Joo, and the healer, Kim Da Jeong, to the Hadonggun party.
But unfortunately, he had not yet won Owen’s heart.
『Name: Owen Ju (Lv. 33)
Trust: 51 Loyalty: 12
Awakening Ability: Werebear
Experience distribution rate: 70%
Settlement distribution rate: 30%
★Quest Granting Exit』
In Owen’s case, loyalty did not increase at all.
‘Kim Da-jeong has already finished registering her departure.’
Kim Da-jeong, whose trustworthiness quickly grew from their first meeting, quickly opened her loyalty, and from the time she first opened it, her loyalty had already exceeded 30.
Thanks to that, I was able to register right away and the results were good.
『Name: Kim Da-jeong (Lv. 30) [+]
Title: [Eighth Bell] [Knight] [Priest]
Trust: 70 Loyalty: 63
Awakening Abilities: Heal, Bless, Magic Armor
Experience distribution rate: 100%
★Quest Granting』
Blessing (A grade)
Consumes mental power to temporarily increase the target’s physical abilities by 70%.
Magic Armor (B Grade)
Creates a magical armor that protects the target by consuming mental power.
Two additional skills have been awakened.
That’s why I wanted to bring Kim Da-jeong on board.
If you just give Hadonggeon a blessing and magic armor, he will be able to overwhelm most monsters.
‘It is clear that the efficiency of people with awakening abilities from the beginning is overwhelmingly better.’
That was the reason why I tried to make Owen Ju my vassal by any means necessary.
Owen Ju was a person with the ability to awaken A-class abilities.
It was clear that registering her like that would bring good results.
If Oh Eun-ju, who had become a vassal, joined Ha Dong-geon’s party, going to his family home, which was about 10km away from here, could have been a piece of cake.
‘Isn’t there any way to increase Owen’s loyalty?’
The reason I was so obsessed with registering was to prepare for anything that might happen.
If all the party members being dispatched were vassals, then even if something happened, you could just use the vassal summoning and that would be it.
I didn’t want anyone to die.
‘Is that really the only way to increase Owen’s loyalty?’
That was when.
[Citizen Owenju completed the quest.]
It was the notification I was waiting for.
I completed the quest to hunt 100 goblins.
This was already the second quest, so that means I’ve hunted 200 today.
Her obsession with goblins persisted.
‘The last quest of today is···.’
Even without that, Ha Dong-geon’s wallet had become quite thick thanks to his party’s activities.
A whopping 370 million won was piled up in his wallet.
The situation is still increasing in real time.
I didn’t know it might be possible.
‘Quest reward, son’s resurrection.’
The content is set to rescue my parents in Nambumin-dong.
however.
[There is not enough cash to pay (Quest Reward: Resurrection).]
[Please try again after increasing your cash holdings.]
A notification appeared right away, as if it was out of the blue.
‘···hmm.’
This much was already expected.
‘Let’s increase the quest difficulty to the maximum.’
The important thing was to show Owen Ju the possibility of resurrection.
‘Quest content: Hunt monsters above level 40.’
I had never hunted a monster above level 30 before.
If it’s level 40, it’s obviously incredibly powerful and the rewards are also incredibly great.
The quest difficulty was already at an abyss because the condition was to hunt such a guy.
In addition to that.
‘Time limit 24 hours.’
Just finding a level 40 monster was a difficult task.
But it would be even more difficult to discover such a monster in just one day.
‘The penalty is···.’
It’s true that I was a little hesitant to set this up.
Even though I could cancel the quest midway at will, the content itself was already unsettling enough.
If we make a mistake, the trust we have worked so hard to build could collapse.
Still.
‘The first thing is to show her the possibility.’
That way, we can increase Owen’s loyalty.
‘The penalty is death.’
This was the most extreme quest content I could think of at this point.
Tiring!
[There is not enough cash to pay (Quest Reward: Resurrection).]
[Please try again after increasing your cash holdings.]
But nothing changed.
‘Are you saying that 400 million is out of the question?’
It was somewhat expected.
Because a human life was not something light that could be restored with just a few hundred million.
This was a pretty important issue for me too.
The moment I saw the resurrection function, I assumed that in the worst case scenario, it would save the lives of my family.
“···Phew.”
That was when.
[You have hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).]
[Gain experience points.]
[2,788,221 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
Even now, the Ha Dong-geon party’s orc hunt continues.
Suddenly, I remembered the party quest I had given them.
and.
“ah···?”
I realized something important.
‘If it’s this!’
I applied it right away.
‘Quest Reward, Son’s Resurrection Day!’
and.
Tiring!
《Quest Granting》
Quest Content: Hunt monsters above level 40 (0/1)
Time limit: 24 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Son’s resurrection day.
Failure penalty: death.
[Do you want to grant the quest as is?]
[Yes / No]
It works.
That means that if we limit the resurrection time to one day, it can be solved within the range of 400 million.
‘Is Owen Joo really worth investing 400 million won in?’
There was no need to think long.
Because the value of A-rank skills was clear.
Even if you register as an Awakened One, the efficiency is tripled.
‘And assuming you’re hunting monsters above level 40…’
Right now, monsters that aren’t even level 30 are spitting out close to 100 million won.
If it’s a higher level monster, it’ll definitely give you more settlement money.
‘First, I’ll get Owen Joo on my side.’
Barely, it shows only hope.
You could call it selfish.
You can call me a devil.
Because saving my family was more important to me than those things.
“Give me the quest.”
And a few minutes later.
Toodoodoodoo―
I felt something moving aggressively up the stairs.
It just ran up to our front door and knocked.
Kuung―!
It would be more appropriate to say that he was slammed into the body rather than knocked.
Owen’s urgent voice could be heard from beyond the front door.
“Excuse me! Open the door! Open the door! Jaehyun!”
Crash
As the door opened, she hurriedly came inside the front door.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Owen Ju looked straight at me, who was waiting in front of the entrance, and asked.
“This is, this is···!”
“Yes, it is possible, although there is a time limit.”
“Sob―! Thank you. I’d be happy with just one day. If only I could see my son···.”
Owen Ju collapsed to the ground as if he was collapsing.
[Citizen Owen’s loyalty has surpassed 30.]
[Citizen Owen Ju has met the requirements for registration.]
