Based on Episode 661:
The heat has cooled and the space has become colder.
Those standing in the horribly shattered stone chamber remained silent.
He was still holding his weapon and taking a breath, but no one was attacking him.
Same goes for us.
Tralow, a new ally, was recovering by drinking potions.
“It feels sore to move after 15 days.”
“It looks like it was left in that state for a long time. I’m curious, but if that’s the case, what should I do... um. no.”
I thought it was just curiosity, so I kept my mouth shut.
The guy also glared at me with his face crumpled.
Since there was a shower and cleaning skills, hygiene must have been good.
Or not.
I took a step forward and covered my nose.
That’s it.
[The first collection ends.]
[The casualties are collected.]
-Sarrrrrr.
The corpses that were lying on the floor just a moment ago turn into light and disappear.
It became powder of light and flew to the scale and piled up.
– Googoo googong.
The scales began to tip again.
The side where the products died was still on top, but it became much heavier compared to the beginning.
As if to prove it, there was a change in the message that floated to the top.
[Unpaid total: 578760040 lian]
[Settled amount: 213251100 lian]
The estate of those who died during the first collection.
The amount was settled not only for the items they had, but also for their bodies and souls.
It seemed like a lot of money, but considering the value of one person, it also seemed like a small amount.
“A lot of people died.”
“No wonder they made such a fuss.”
It might have been better if it had been a melee where each side aimed at the other.
At that time, everyone was the enemy, so they would have focused on defense.
I wouldn’t have made such a fuss.
It’s a good thing to be self-employed.
So, I should have attacked it in moderation.
“It’s been an hour.”
“Now there’s no reason for us to specifically target you.”
It’s just as Choco Choco said.
My appraised value determined by the system is 400 million.
The outstanding amount that needs to be repaid is now 300 million units.
Even if you kill me, the amount is over.
Of course, the excess amount is distributed to everyone.
‘I wouldn’t be too greedy to eat that.’
What if the person who killed him gets all the remaining money?
It is distributed not only to those who are quietly watching, but also to those who sell themselves as products.
The saying goes that no matter how hard you work, the reward you get is the same.
‘If you’re going to risk your life to catch me, it’s safer to catch easy guys.’
If a battle breaks out in the future, they will target someone else rather than me.
As if I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, those who had completed assessing the situation formed their own teams.
Because it is safer to be in a group than to be alone.
Among them, we are the strongest team.
“Hmm. “If it’s okay, can we join you?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Oh no. “Excuse me.”
Of course, it was safest to stick to our side, but there were very few that came close.
Based on common sense, weren’t they the ones who rushed to kill me?
That’s not shameless, it’s that you’ve lost your cowardice.
“There are all kinds of people.”
Choco Choco seemed to be thinking the same thing, but he looked dumbfounded.
In that sense, Tralow was lucky.
Perhaps because he knew that fact, he cleared his throat and turned his head.
[1st collection – basic combat power measurement ends.]
[2nd collection waiting time is given.]
Rest time given after 1st collection ends.
It’s time to prepare for the next one.
“What happens in the second collection? “I wonder how often the collection is done.”
Choco Choco folds his arms in response to my question.
“I only got to the third collection. “I heard there are up to 5 rounds.”
“Up to round 5?”
“huh. It’s best not to go there if possible. “At that time, it will be a forced liquidation.”
To put it simply, it means that products are forcibly disposed of under the selection of the system.
The system wants me.
He would nominate me without hesitation.
You should never go to the 5th round.
however.
“How did you know about the fifth collection?”
“Smilecap experienced it.”
This guy is definitely higher than the 95th floor.
It was incredible, but did he also experience this?
Did you survive the 5th collection?
In some ways, he was a very lucky guy.
‘Maybe the reason Choco Choco is here is because Smile Cap gave him information.’
The conditions for the second collection were simple.
Produce something.
According to Choco Choco’s explanation, there is no limit to the products produced.
Even if you just make one noodle using a simple recipe, it’s acceptable.
It’s not particularly useful, but it’s okay to make a wooden doll with a carving knife.
Of course, it is possible to write a book based on your own knowledge.
It meant that I could do anything, and in that sense, I was able to do a lot of things.
-Uuuuuuuung.
After looking, there was nothing missing from the system warehouse.
At least you can get everything you can from the tower.
“If we do well, we can end everything here. All you have to do is extract the items that are worth the unpaid amount.”
“In theory, right?”
“Then wouldn’t that be the most reasonable thing to do?”
“You sure?”
“Oh, right. “I plan to repay the entire balance within 48 hours.”
He pointed, looking at the stone room that was still a mess.
“Bring all those who look like they have nothing to do. In the meantime, I’ll be getting ready.”
Deokchun reads my thoughts and moves.
Since we might not have enough hands, we also summoned Mangu.
What should I do first?
“I guess we’ll have to divide it into districts first.”
I plan to cook in the space on the left, craft equipment in the center, and craft potions and elixirs in the space on the right.
I have no intention of giving you the recipe.
It’s not something worth talking about to anyone, and even if you tried to find out, it would be impossible if you don’t have the relevant skills.
Still, you can do simple material handling or simple labor.
massive production.
In my opinion, this is the keyword that will break through the secondary collection.
At this time, this place was overflowing with workers.
I think everyone has experienced it.
“Everyone, think of it as a factory and run!”
It was time to become a factory manager, something I had never been able to do outside.
* * *
2nd collection ended.
Quite a lot happened.
Since we only had 48 hours, we focused on things that could be created in a short period of time.
Things that have a simple process but require high-quality and rare materials.
I wouldn’t have been able to do it normally, but whatever.
It’s not my material, it’s the material supplied by the system.
I’m just taking this opportunity to try it out.
Try something you’ve wanted to try for a while.
I didn’t sleep or move for 48 hours.
Is it just me? The others also followed my instructions diligently.
[Second collection ends.]
[Produced goods are collected.]
“Oooooh!”
“I survived! “I lived!”
“Evileye! “Evileye!”
“Savior of the Blood Altar!”
As a result, everyone participates in production activities.
The unpaid balance was also significant.
[Total unpaid amount: 578760040 Lian]
[Settlement amount: 493872551 Lian]
The remaining amount is less than 100 million Lian at most.
It was a little disappointing, but what can I do?
At least this much is a good save.
“What kind of production skills have you developed so far?”
Choco Choco looks bored.
I didn’t mean to do this either.
It’s because the NPCs I’m connected to, such as Lilka and Framberg Helldying Kitchen, are specialized in this area.
“You know how to do anything, so there’s nothing to lose.”
“That’s true.”
Anyway, I got over the hurdle with this.
If this trend continues, everything could end in the third collection.
Is that all?
“I’ll make sure to repay this favor later.”
“If you need help outside, let me know. “It’s here now, but it was a bit of a mess outside.”
“If you need information, come to me separately. “You will pay back.”
Most of the people who came here owed me a favor.
Most ordinary workers were dead during the first collection.
Those who remained were executives of organizations captured by hostile forces or criminals caught trying to revolutionize the country.
They are people with their own influence and power.
‘An unexpected connection has arisen.’
I was already thinking about growing my own power.
It was like that in Garbage Town, it was like that in the Black Hook organization, it was like that in the soybean merchant factory.
If you are in someone else’s power, not your own, you will only be sold and used.
“I’ll visit you separately later.”
This laid the foundation.
Just before that.
“Let’s focus here for now. Going outside is the priority.”
I have to deal with the damn unpaid bills first.
[The third collection begins.]
A new collection has begun.
