Chapter 54: Unofficial Territory, Study Villa (2)
His expression was bright.
As if he could fly in the sky.
But strangely, the team leader was trembling with veins popping out all over his body.
It was as if he would explode with a ‘bang!’ if someone slightly touched him.
In his hand, which showed good veins, he was holding a stack of A4 paper containing about a hundred pages……
The title read:
『Report on Future Scenarios and Update Measures for Player ‘Kyung-joon’』
A vast amount of data accumulated over the past few months while monitoring the user ‘Kyung-joon’.
This was a countermeasure report written based on that data.
It contained various predictions about what Kyung-joon would cause in the future and detailed countermeasures for each scenario.
How many nights we had to pull to write this one report.
Thud, thud.
The team leader’s hands trembled so much that all the massive reports fell to the floor.
Still, none of the employees dared to speak.
All the employees bowed their heads in silent prayer.
Then, one page of the report on the floor caught Kim Bu-ha’s eye.
『…… Based on the above data, it is predicted that the date player ‘Kyung-joon’ will open the Territory System is February 17th next year. In other words, the opening of the Territory System, which was originally expected to be 3 to 5 years after its release, has been changed to about a year later, and various countermeasures for each scenario will be introduced in detail later.
-18p-』
It was the eighteenth page of the report.
Kim Bu-ha knew.
That there were exactly 117 more pages of content following that.
And also, that the report, which amounted to a hundred pages, would soon be thrown away in the company’s recycling bin.
Because instead of a year later as the report stated, Kyung-joon had just opened the Territory System.
Simply put, everything from page 18 to page 117 had to be rewritten.
Thud!
The sound of something huge collapsing!
It was the sound of the team leader collapsing.
“Team Leader?!”
“The back of my head…… The back of my head…… Ugh, ugh…… The back, the back of my head……. “
“T, Team Leader has collapsed!”
“Get the blood pressure medicine from Team Leader’s drawer!”
“119……! Someone call 119!”
“Team Leader! Team Leader! Come to your senses! Team Leader……!”
“Ggh, ggh…… Trash…… 100 pages…… What I wrote all this time…… All…… Trash…… I have to rewrite all of it…… Ugh, ggh……. “
The Pyeongtaek branch of Seolha Group.
119 arrived in front of The World monitoring room, and the team leader was immediately taken to the nearest Seolha Hospital.
Thanks to the quick response of the paramedics, the team leader’s blood pressure returned to normal safely…….
“Kyung-joon, Kyung-joon, Kyung-joon, Kyung-joon, Kyung-joooon!! Because of that kid, the report I spent months writing! ……Cough?! The back of my head…… The back of my head…… Ggh, ggggh……. “
……After that, the team leader continued to suffer from extremely high blood pressure and repeatedly lost and regained consciousness every time he thought of Kyung-joon.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
After the residents of Ria Village said they would sell their now useless land deeds and parted ways for a while.
Kyung-joon was able to create the best stand after numerous attempts.
[You have successfully crafted an item.]
[A Unique item has been created.]
[This is the first item in the world. Dexterity increases by 50.]
[Shard Stand of Free Will]
▶A stand made using shards that are said to be imbued with the spirit of a spirit. It can be used by infusing mana, and the brightness and color of the light can be adjusted freely.
The effect varies depending on the color and brightness of the light.
▶8,000 Kelvin blue light: Concentration +30% Calculation Ability +30%
▶4,000 Kelvin white light: Concentration +30% Memory +30%
▶2,200 Kelvin red light: Concentration +30% Creativity +30%
▶When the brightness is increased to 1,000 lux: Concentration +30% Dexterity +30% Tenacity -50%
▶Item Grade: Unique
Blue light helps with studying math.
Therefore, calculation ability increases.
White light helps with memorization subjects such as Korean History and Biology.
So it increases memory.
Red light, on the other hand, has a positive effect on creative learning.
Therefore, the related ability is creativity.
Lastly, regarding dexterity, it reflects the fact that bright light is required for delicate tasks.
The reason why tenacity decreases in this case is that the light is too bright, which easily strains the eyes.
And each of these abilities always comes with a ‘concentration’ buff.
As Kyung-joon had intended, a stand that truly helped with concentration was born.
Kyung-joon immediately took out his general chemistry textbook and tested its performance.
The light Kyung-joon turned on was white.
The light of concentration and memory.
[Buff is applied due to the effect of the Unique item 『Shard Stand of Free Will』.]
▶Concentration +30% Memory +30%
The buff from the Study Villa was added to the buff from the stand.
Of course, before turning on the stand, he consumed the newly made croissant and the previous castella.
Plus, the additional concentration and tenacity buffs he gained from his short gourmet trip in Plovdiv!
Not to mention the Dimensional Study Room.
Therefore, the current buffs applied to Kyung-joon are as follows:
『Tenacity +120%』
『Creativity +40%』
『Calculation Ability +30%』
『Concentration +60%』
『Memory +30%』
『Time Dilation 2.0x』
The studying Kyung-joon was doing was practically out of this world.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The next morning, after finishing his study session in World.
As soon as Kyung-joon logged back into the game, he was greeted by a status window offering him money.
[You can receive 500 million liyan as territory funds.]
[If you receive the funds and do not properly develop the territory, the residents’ satisfaction and loyalty will drop sharply.]
[If loyalty and satisfaction are too low, a riot may occur.]
“We sold all of our land deeds and brought half of the proceeds. Please use it well.”
“Of course.”
Kyung-joon received the funds without hesitation.
[Received 500 million liyan from Liant as territory funds.]
▶Current liyan Held: 842,404,600 liyan
TL: $60,863 real money
As he was feeling satisfied with his full inventory, Liant spoke.
“Kyung-joon-nim, after a meeting among the residents at the Beginner’s Village inn yesterday, there is one thing we are most curious about.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“How much tax do you plan to collect?”
Taxes.
One of the most important factors in running a territory.
If it’s too low, you can’t run the territory, and if it’s too high, the residents’ dissatisfaction will rise, increasing the risk of a riot.
That’s why Kyung-joon had to be careful.
“How was it in Ria Village before?”
“When the lord of the Kingdom of Francois was here, he took half of the harvest, and when it became a dominion of the Black Secret Village, they took nine tenths.”
“50% and 90%…… That’s a lot.”
Indeed, it was a world set in a medieval fantasy background.
The Black Secret Village was a bandit group, so it was an exception, but even under the rule of an ordinary kingdom, they took 50%.
From the lord’s point of view, it seemed like a pretty good deal.
Of course, Kyung-joon had no intention of following their ways.
“I will follow the way of the merchants.”
“The way of the merchants?”
“I will treat you not simply as serfs of the territory, but as employees of our Study Villa.”
He had received the territory development funds.
Kyung-joon had no intention of just letting them farm on their own and then secretly collecting taxes.
He would use them to build a business.
And he would pay them according to how much they worked and how much they contributed.
Liant was perplexed by Kyung-joon’s words.
“Business…… All we know how to do is farm. The only things we can make are farming tools and bread……. “
They were refugees who had fled from Ria Village to escape the Black Secret Village.
They couldn’t have learned any proper skills that could be turned into a business.
They only learned the skills necessary for survival.
But that was enough.
“Being able to farm and bake bread is enough.”
Because the first business Kyung-joon was going to start was the bread business.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The first thing Kyung-joon wanted to do was expand the territory.
Before anything else, the residents needed a place to live.
They had to start by setting up wooden fences and marking the boundaries of the land.
They needed to surround the territory with wooden fences to prevent monsters from easily invading.
The size of the land was semi-permanently determined by how wide they built the fences.
The target area Kyung-joon had in mind was 1 square kilometer.
In other words, he intended to expand the land to the size of a square with sides of 1 kilometer each.
An enormous size!
The campus of Seoul National University was about 4 square kilometers, so it was a quarter of that size.
To put it in easier terms, it was about 74 acres.
It was so vast that the work alone would take several days.
Of course, Kyung-joon was a student.
He had no intention of doing all this by himself.
“Now, watch carefully how I make the fences. First, like this, like this……. “
Kyung-joon first demonstrated in front of the residents.
He intended to teach them how to make fences.
“Oh. I felt it yesterday when you made the makeshift desk, but you have amazing dexterity.”
“I bet it’s well over 200.”
“No, I think it’s closer to 300.”
[You have successfully crafted a new High-Grade item.]
[Dexterity has increased by 3.]
[Sturdy and Durable Ashwood Fence]
▶A sturdy and durable fence that boasts high dexterity. Can be installed to block monsters.
▶Basic Durability increased by 25%
▶Item Grade: High-Grade
The basic durability increase was 5% higher than the fence he made before.
It was definitely thanks to his increased dexterity.
Kyung-joon showed the completed fence to the residents and said,
“If you finish it like this, it’s done. How is it? Can you follow that?”
“Ahem…… I understand the method. But I’m not sure if we can match Kyung-joon-nim’s dexterity.”
“I agree.”
The residents seemed unsure.
It was only natural.
There was no way ordinary farmers, who weren’t geniuses, could immediately replicate it just by watching it once.
Kyung-joon wasn’t too disappointed.
Because he wasn’t a genius either.
“It’s okay. I wasn’t going to stop here and tell you to figure it out on your own.”
Kyung-joon picked up a piece of wood from the pile of lumber stacked next to him.
“This time, I will explain each of the three processes of working, processing, and welding in detail. Theory is surprisingly important, so don’t just watch but listen carefully.”
“Yes, sir!”
The first thing you do when you hire an employee at a company.
It’s ‘in-house training’.
Just like you learn the job after getting hired, Kyung-joon was going to teach the residents everything so they could do their jobs properly.
Just like how Kyung-joon always started with studying and practicing before doing anything.
[Conducting collaborative carpentry work with the residents.]
[Proficiency is distributed and increased.]
[Strength has increased by 1 through repeated carpentry work.]
[Dexterity has increased by 1 through repeated carpentry processing.]
[Stamina has increased by 1 through repeated carpentry welding.]
．
．
．
“Huff, huff. K, Kyung-joon-nim, it’s already been three hours. Can we take a short break……. “
Kyung-joon, whose concentration had become too good thanks to his constant studying!
Three hours of continuous work was nothing to him.
“Oh, already? You should have told me earlier. I thought only an hour had passed. No wonder I was feeling a little tired.”
“……. “
However, it was a different story for the residents.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Kyung-joon spent all morning teaching carpentry and studied in the afternoon.
Studying general chemistry and general physics in preparation for the Science Certification Exam.
Meanwhile, the residents were made to study carpentry all day long.
In the morning, they listened to Kyung-joon’s carpentry lectures, in the afternoon, they practiced tirelessly using the methods Kyung-joon taught them, and in the evening, they received one-on-one feedback from Kyung-joon to correct their mistakes.
[Residents received training from the Infinite Knowledge Seeker.]
[The effect of the Mythical Skill 『Infinite Reading (Lv.2)』 is partially transferred.]
[Whenever residents follow the actions instructed by the Infinite Knowledge Seeker, their corresponding stats increase.]
