Chapter 148: Hot Stock (1)

“Oh... No!”

Yangju’s Strongest Sword, Choi Jongseon, didn’t really understand.

Is it possible to bring out something real with a weak line like that?

But for some reason, it seemed very likely with that crazy orphan Strongest Sword.

The plan is to find an alien to place an advertisement on the tattoo that he spent a whopping 3.4 million karma on.

“No, damn it, go do it in another neighborhood!”

In the end, Choi Jongseon, the mother Strongest Sword, reached her limit and drew her sword.

She couldn’t tolerate anything that could threaten Yangju.

This city was also a sanctuary for children in the future.

“Now stop it, you crazy orphan!”

Choi Jongseon threatened the orphan with harsh words and a menacing sword.

As someone who prioritized her child’s safety, she could say even harsher words.

But.

“S-Sorry, I got carried away. I should have thought about the child.”

“...?”

Surprisingly, Jeong Yeongwoo’s sensible reaction made Jongseon feel awkward.

“I sometimes... get narrow-minded.”

With a truly apologetic expression, the strongest orphan of the North Korean Peninsula hastily picked up the equipment on the ground.

“...?”

Watching him blankly, Jongseon eventually softened her voice and asked him to be slow.

“...Take your time. I might have been a bit harsh just now. It’s not like aliens will really appear just because you call them from the sky.”

After Jongseon said this, Yeongwoo awkwardly smiled and silently finished picking up the equipment.

“Huh...?”

From Jongseon’s perspective, it was a reaction that could only make her spine chill with the thought of what if.

“R-right? Aliens aren’t coming.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“Kid, why did you pretend to pick up the equipment?”

Then Jongseon poured out very harsh words, but they were not transmitted to Yeongwoo due to the deafening roar from the sky.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck!

A cannon blast came from high above, and a crimson pillar of light was driven into the center of Yangju City.

At the same time, the sky, which had turned pitch black, swayed heavily like the night sea.

‘Someone’s really angry.’

Looking up at the sky, Yeongwoo snorted.

The one he just thought of as “angry” internally was none other than.

―Yeongwoo...!

The shareholders of the intergalactic weapon brand, Dogo.

* * *

Quarrrk!

Thunder roared loudly from the pitch-black sky.

Then, a more intense voice spewed out from the tip of the crimson pillar of light.

―Yeongwoo...!

Whether it was because they were in a hurry or because they were very angry, the shareholders of Dogo sent their voices before revealing themselves on Earth.

―Jeong Yeongwoo! Contractor of “Dogo”!

In response, Yeongwoo waved his arms as if directing parking in front of the crimson pillar of light.

“Yes! Over here!”

Then, as if he suddenly remembered, he turned to Jongseon.

“Wait, is the kid okay?”

The shareholders of Dogo were beings that were difficult for humans to perceive with a clear mind.

In fact, when they first called them on Earth, Kwon Taeyoung was unable to contain himself and was lying on the floor vomiting.

That’s why Yeongwoo suddenly remembered the child’s condition.

However, surprisingly, Jongseon’s child was not affected by Dogo’s presence at all.Thee source of this content no/v/(el)bi((n))

“Abvbb!”

Instead, he even pointed at the crimson pillar of light with his finger and laughed.

“My kid seems fine for now. But what are we going to do about this? The city is completely ruined.”

As Jongseon said, Yangju City was now completely devastated.

Then, he turned his head back to where the baby in Choi Jongseon’s arms was, and saw the baby looking at Dogo’s unique iridescent color with an even happier expression than before.

‘Could it be that children are completely unaffected by prestige?’

This was a hypothesis with some basis.

Even when the Strongest Swords exuded prestige among the crowd, only children were not affected.

Why could that be?

‘It doesn’t make sense for the system to only favor children.’

‘....Karma’

So, the only possible reason for children being exempt from many threats of the system, due to not having any “Karma,” could be enough.

‘Then what about Dogo? To what extent are beings from other worlds affected by Earth’s rules?’

‘I don’t know. Perhaps the prestige of the Strongest Swords and the aura emitted by beings from other worlds are fundamentally similar. After all, there were no Strongest Swords like them on Earth originally.’

As Yeongwoo pondered this far, the advertiser timer hanging in his sight fell below 10 seconds.

[00:00:09]

With 9 seconds left until the arrival of the bidder for “Whitespace.”

“Shareholders, are your contracts ready?”

Yeongwoo asked his first advertiser with an excited voice.

Another color appeared in the sky, which had been a deep shade until now.

Kwi-aaah...!

With an unusual atmosphere, the sky began to turn cyan.

The representative color of the new company was overlaid on the space that Dogo had painted pitch black.

-...!

At this, the shareholders of Dogo raised dozens of heads towards the sky and showed surprised expressions.

“Lemu!”

The scene unfolds with the reactions of the shareholders of Dogo, who raised their heads to the sky in surprise.

–Lemu!

–Lemuuuu!

–Wretched Lemus!

–Lemu! Filthy creatures!

The Dogo shareholders began chanting the name “Lemu.”

Sensing their reaction, Yeongwoo had a hunch that a company preferring cyan as their color, like Lemu, did not have the financial power of ordinary people.

‘Why would they act like this? There seems to be some discord between Lemu and Dogo’.

Yeongwoo thought to himself.

With Dogo deliberately withholding the meaning of “Lemu,” Yeongwoo had no choice but to wait patiently.

[00:00:05]

With just 5 seconds left, Yeongwoo anticipated their appearance.

‘It’s about to reveal itself,’ Yeongwoo thought as he observed the increasingly intense cyan sky.

Then, a thin laser guidance line shot down from beyond the sky.

Piiiiit!

About a hundred meters away from Dogo’s appearance point.

‘What’s this? It’s quite neat.’

It was a method that was contrary to the Dogo method, which announced the location of the appearance with a huge pillar of light.

And finally.

[00:00:00]

Finally, as the timer hit zero, changes occurred in the cyan sky.

Zzweoong!

With a loud crack, a space near the guidance line opened up, and from within it...

Shuaaaat!

A brightly glowing, pure white cuboid descended as if sliding.

‘That... Lemu?’

‘Lemu’ felt more like an object than a living creature, unlike the residents of Dogo.

It resembled a television with six sides all made of screens.

Pah!

Eventually, the problematic cuboid blinked, and large characters appeared in the air.

It looked like hieroglyphs, displaying the logo of “Lemu.”

「Lemu」

It also served as a company pamphlet offered to Yeongwoo, who was looking for a second advertiser.

‘These guys, they’re a universal pornography production company, aren’t they...?’
