Chapter 22

ㄴ I haven’t been able to sleep lately.

ㄴ My head… it’s spinning.

ㄴ Mining work isn’t hard at all, so I don’t know why I feel this way.

ㄴ 주딱☆: Then take some medicine.

ㄴ 주딱☆: I put it up in the marketplace, why haven’t you taken it?

ㄴ …

ㄴ Ahem!

The dwarves were a race of artisans.

In terms of weaponry, armor, and construction, no other race could match their skills.

Is that why? The dwarves were quite stubborn.

They had a strong sense of pride and never bent their will, making it difficult for them to mingle with other races.

– Seriously, are dwarves still being obstinate?

– That’s why they’re still outcasts, right?

– LOL totally agreed!

ㄴ Go sleep with the elves or something.

ㄴ Not compared to you guys.

ㄴ Ugh, the smell of old socks is serious.

Of course, not as much as the elves.

Title: Dwarves, come check this out.

You say your head hurts.

What’s the reason for not taking the medicine?

(Cat meme with a face full of screen)

Are you guys refusing to take my medicine because it’s heretical like the church or something?

Just take it and heal up quickly!

So you can activate the gallery even more!!!

– Ahem, it’s not like that…

ㄴ I actually believe it. They helped a lot before the recovery, so why would we doubt it?

ㄴ Right. It must have effects.

ㄴ 주딱☆: So why aren’t you taking it then?

ㄴ Well…

…

탈드루: It’s because of our “manly” culture.

Taldru, a well-known Gallum among the dwarves, readily explained why they were hesitant.

Taldru: It’s often referred to as pride.

주딱☆: What?

Taldru: Our race has been living without medicine for a long time.

Taldru: Taking medicine is deeply rooted in the perception of weakness.

So, does that mean dwarves are holding out and not taking the medicine as advised?

Moreover, the effects actually manifested elsewhere.

– Since there are so many questions, I’ll explain how to use it all at once.

– The reason we love 주딱…jpg

– We’re living in the age of 주딱.

In fact, it turned out that other Gallums were fond of it.

But I wasn’t too surprised.

There’s always a way to handle such situations.

“Hmm, I didn’t want to use this method.”

A method that had been used for a long time since the establishment of our gallery.

– The amazing reasons why Tylenol is awesome…

– How to instantly solve headaches…

It was the traditional promotional (viral) method.

Title: What the hell is this? For real?

(A meme with Tylenol in one hand)

The more I see this, the more amazing it gets.

I thought not taking medicine would give me a manly feeling, but now my efficiency has doubled!

Even my friends are amazed, asking me what I took.

– What’s with the vote ratio?

– Huh, is this really worthy of such recommendations?

– But it’s REAL! Once you take it, your energy changes completely.

ㄴ Hmm…

ㄴ Still, medicine feels a bit off.

ㄴ Only weak humans take medicine.

ㄴ That’s right. I just feel manly about it.

“Reactions are still minimal.”

Usually, the first time people are quite skeptical.

But what’s the traditional method (viral)?

It meant repetitive promotion was key.

Title: What’s this thing that you lose out on if you don’t know…jpg

(A dwarf warrior showcasing muscles while endorsing Tylenol)

That’s right, it’s this Tylenol.

Lately, I’ve been troubled with frequent headaches, and this is really something!

Taking it when my head hurts is the magic solution.

Training sessions have doubled, no, tripled in length.

Haha, thanks to this, I got myself a muscular, beautiful girlfriend as well.

You all should take one too.

– Damn, you scammer!!!

– I could really smack you in the face!

– You’re seriously a piece of work, aren’t you?

– Is this for real?

– Did you really hook up with such a beautiful girl?

– W-Well, even so, medicine…

ㄴ Author) Wise move. Efficiency increasing like this.

ㄴ Right, I managed to increase my efficiency with Tylenol and get a girlfriend.

ㄴ Ahem… then I…

“Got it.”

Inside the dark warehouse, I had the gallery screen on and chuckled ominously.

In my past life, posts that would have been dismissed as viral were well-received by the naive residents of this other world.

No one had ever tried it before.

As the downvotes piled up, I was swept away by the public opinion since I left a review.

If they’re stubborn, it’s better to gently change that stubbornness instead of breaking it.

“Now I just need to wrap up the last part.”

But the viral method doesn’t end here.

탈다인: Is it time to post?

주딱☆: Go ahead.

탈다인: Got it, brother. Keep your promise to me.

Through Taldru, I formed a new connection.

And this dwarf named Taldain was definitely the final key to successfully marketing (viral, post manipulation) this gallery tradition.

주딱☆: Of course, I remember ㅇㅇ

[주딱☆ suggests 3 bottles each of White Rum/ Gold Rum/ Dark Rum]

탈다인: This is 주딱’s rum…!

탈다인: Thank you! I love you, brother!!!

주딱☆: Haha, mix them up and drink them.

탈다인: .

주딱☆: Hey!

Finally, as long as I had the recognition of the Dwarf King, Taldain, everything would be complete.

Dwarves valued strength and the “manly” ethos above blood relations, so Taldain’s influence as their king was unquestionable.

Title: How about hitting that downvote if you all love Tylenol?

(Tylenol meme)

First, let me take a hit. Haha!

Tylenol, recognized by the dwarf king, should definitely be consumed, right?

– You!!! How dare you impersonate His Majesty here!!!

– Don’t you fear the wrath of Kilgroth!!!

ㄴ Taldru) That’s me.

ㄴ Your Majesty!!!

ㄴ Please forgive me!!!!

– His Majesty Taldain acknowledged it…?

ㄴ Then it’s a different story.

ㄴ Ahem, actually I wanted to give it a try once.

ㄴ I suddenly feel impressed by Tylenol now.

[주딱’s marketplace ‘Tylenol’ is sold out.]

And the repercussions were beyond imagination.

Despite having a decent stock, everything was sold out in just a few minutes.

The effect of the viral (traditional method) was astounding.

“I guess there won’t be any more headaches, huh?”

I considered that I had paid for the holy sword and the costs associated.

Just as I was about to finish up and turn off the holy sword’s light, a question post came up.

Question Post) Brother 주딱, I have something to ask.

(Tylenol ingredients meme)

I heard there’s something called acetaminophen.

I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life; what is it?

– Right, I was curious about that as well.

– Doesn’t it sound like a skill name?

– Sounds perfect as a weapon name.

It seemed that many dwarves were curious about the ingredient more than I expected.

Just as I was about to sleep, I quickly answered.

– 주딱☆: Oh, that’s the ingredient in Tylenol.

ㄴ That’s an interesting name!

ㄴ Is there anything I should be cautious about?

“Ah, right. I forgot to mention the caution points.”

Just giving out medicine doesn’t mean it’s over.

Taking it all at once doesn’t increase the effectiveness, especially Tylenol had one key caution point.

– 주딱☆: You shouldn’t take it with alcohol.

ㄴ .

ㄴ ?

ㄴ What?

ㄴ Ah-ha! You mean don’t take it after drinking, right?

ㄴ Does that mean you can take it before drinking?

ㄴ So, just be careful! It’s not harmful to the body, right?

– 주딱☆: ㄴㄴ Just don’t take it on drinking days.

I wrote it down nonchalantly.

I mean, nobody drinks every day.

But I had overlooked something.

Dwarves drink when they study, when they forge weapons, and even in the mines.

For them, alcohol is just like water.

Not knowing about the dwarves’ love for drinking, I casually mentioned it.

– Drunken screech!!!

– A devil! It’s the devil’s medicine!!!

– We must destroy it! Such medicine must vanish from this world!!!

– War! It’s war!

The dwarves chose alcohol over medicine.

ㄴ I haven’t been able to sleep lately.

ㄴ My head… it’s spinning.

ㄴ Mining work isn’t hard at all, so I don’t know why I feel this way.

ㄴ 주딱☆: Damn ^&%$.

They started with identical posts.

Surprisingly, these posts were made days later in the gallery.

Once the dwarves discovered the red medicine, no one bothered with taking the medicine.

Just a remark about not being able to drink sent them into a frenzy, and this was the outcome.

– LOL emergency medicine is the best.

– Please keep boycotting like that!

– LOL ‘Human Victory.’

– Yum~~~

Thanks to that, only those suffering from chronic headaches benefited.

No dwarf buys it.

The headache issue remained.

“Lately, it seems like the rift has grown larger…”

In the corner of the warehouse, my pet Lava’s rift had expanded.

Perhaps because of that, it seems like there have been more moans in the gallery lately; could it be the limits of the viral?

“I need to create a countermeasure for the rift.”

While I personally had immunity from my trusty shotgun and long experience in the gallery, other races did not share that advantage.

To put it bluntly, it wouldn’t be weird if something popped out from there at any moment.

Currently, we were in a standoff situation after a defeat, not a war.

Gallums must be safe for the gallery to function.

I was hoping to at least establish some countermeasures against the nausea.

While I was lost in thought…

Healthy God: Are you in there, 주딱?

Contact came from the Affectionate Konik’s drying machine.

주딱☆: Gasp.

Healthy God: ^^?

주딱☆: May I ask if it’s correct that you’re about to post a meme?

Healthy God: ^^;

After the Succubus Healthy God’s gag order on adult content had been issued for about a month, I wondered if she might post something.

But that wasn’t why she contacted me.

Healthy God: I have a way to solve the dwarves’ headache problem… would you like to hear it? ㅇ3ㅇ?

This was actually related to the doubts I had been grappling with concerning the dwarves.

주딱☆: Oh, you have a solution?

Healthy God: ^^ Of course!

I listened to her proposition with curiosity, as it surely sounded enticing.

주딱☆: Oh?

The proposal was indeed tempting.

The next day.

[Spiritus 500ml] – 45 Mana Pills.

*Warning – Absolutely do not let other races purchase this.

We take no responsibility for what happens.

A staggering 96 proof.

I had unleashed the world’s strongest alcohol into the marketplace.
