Chapter 38

Monsters had spread all over the Kellierhton region.

Although we successfully raided the royal castle and drove the monsters away, we needed to prepare for the upcoming wave.

“We’re short on food and military supplies.”

“They say the monsters will reach the royal castle in two days!”

The problem was that Kellierhton had originally split off from Adrian, which had already been nearly destroyed.

The army’s strength was decent, but everything else was either lacking or non-existent.

With barely a month’s worth of food and almost no materials needed for reconstruction of the ruins, Evelyn stared blankly at the sky, feeling the numerous gazes upon her.

“Maybe Jooddak actually dislikes me…?”

Evelyn’s daily life was a survival battle.

In the midst of this crisis, was it just her imagination that the stakes had grown phenomenally?

Moreover, unlike before when death was just the end, how many lives depended solely on her now?

“I want to go home…”

Just at that moment, she longed intensely for the days when they ate tuna cans.

[New feature added to the Gallery!]

[The ‘Another World Coin’ tab has been added.]

A new breeze swept through the gallery.

“Is this the end?”

With a deep sigh, I straightened my back.

After several consecutive days of relentless work, it had been nothing other than organizing the storage room.

I had temporarily hung a broken door from the shop, tossing debris into the rift.

After cleaning up the disarrayed interior, I stood the holy sword gifted by a dwarf next to the door.

“Now, I have the security covered…”

Last time, my excessive reliance on K2 had led to misjudgments about moving the swords too far away.

With the holy sword standing guard, I felt incredibly reassured.

Now, only the holy sword remained.

“Let’s see, you are…”

Wooooo.

The light of the holy sword brightened and dimmed as if eagerly awaiting.

After some deliberation, I decided to place the holy sword on the top shelf to reflect the light better.

“You can just stay there as a light source.”

…Wooong.

Then, after placing the shotgun and grenades in appropriate positions, I was all set for now.

“It would be great if something could fortify this space.”

But it was still lacking.

If only the storage could withstand external shocks like a bunker…

“Huh?”

Suddenly, an idea struck me.

Could it be that they sell bunkers in the shop?

As I rummaged through the shop categories, a bunker category actually appeared!

“Such madness! Incredible!”

Wouldn’t this make all but the worst attacks ineffective?

However, my expression froze the moment I saw the prices.

[General Bunker] – 50,000 points

[Advanced Bunker] – 100,000 points

[Premium Bunker] – 300,000 points

.

.

.

[Nuclear War End Bunker] – 10,000,000 points

“Oh wow.”

Even after being trapped in this other world for several months, I had around 20,000 points.

In fact, even that amount felt quite substantial after considering all I had spent.

It was just the prices that seemed a bit, well, absurd.

“Does the shop also get affected by the rise in prices on Earth?”

The prices seemed a bit alarming, didn’t they?

[Nuclear War End Bunker] – 10,000,000 points

– The world’s highest bunker that can survive humanity’s extinction due to nuclear war!

– Its effectiveness has been proven!

Especially that nuclear war bunker.

The phrase claiming its functionality was even more terrifying.

“Has there been a nuclear war on Earth since I’ve been summoned here?”

With truly no way to return, I had no idea how Earth had changed.

Perhaps rifts had formed there too, and they might be struggling for survival.

“Then let’s aim for the general bunker for now.”

I set my goal.

Advanced? Premium? Not in a million years.

[General Bunker] – 50,000 points

– Effective against shock magic!

– Cannot be breached by regular sharp weapons!

This was already perfect.

To achieve that, I needed to level up and accumulate points, naturally linking it to the survival of the Gallums.

My gaze naturally shifted to the golden apple that the World Tree had given me.

[World Tree’s Golden Apple]

Tasty. Pleasant texture.

Until now, every item gifted by the Gallums possessed unusual effects.

Rabbit Hole tickets, holy swords, golden carrots, and so on.

However, it was the first time I encountered an item with such little description.

“What if it has no effects at all?”

Right before taking a bite, a moment of worry crept in…

“Well, as long as it’s delicious, that’s good!!”

If the fruit is tasty, that’s all that matters.

I took a big bite of the apple.

Crunch!

[Level Up! 4→5]

[‘Another World Coin’ feature has been unlocked.]

“Another World Coin?”

It resulted in pouring oil straight into the dying flames.

Announcement) New feature in the Gallery ‘Another World Coin’

Author: Jooddak☆

The investment function has been opened.

Anyone can post any item or vision to receive or make investments.

So, let’s invest.

Pray for the rise and check the charts daily.

Let’s make Kellierhton rise!!!!

– Let’s go!!!!

– What are we going to rise for?

ㄴ Anyway, let’s go!!!

ㄴ Kellierhton Coin is going to the moon!!

ㄴ Young

ㄴ Chip

ㄴ Damn, it’s Jooddak again… I have to invest…

ㄴ Joomen, the font is insane!!

– But what is this coin?

ㄴ I have no clue, is it a new beer name?

ㄴ Trends are always tough to follow…

– What the hell is this coin?

ㄴ We don’t know either

ㄴ ?

ㄴ Ooh, we just shout because everyone else is shouting.

ㄴ Then what about the rise?

ㄴ Just means it’s going well, it’s rising, right?

ㄴ Just shout and don’t ask questions.

ㄴ The Dwarves just can’t keep up with trends;

ㄴ Full-Peel Elf★: Let’s rise together!!!!

ㄴ Haha, youth speaks volumes.

As soon as the feature was unlocked, countless comments flooded in, and the gallery showed great interest.

And Kellierhton dove headfirst into the investment tab without asking any questions.

1. New Kingdom of Kellierhton

Investment Method: We accept anything.

Title: Seeking investment for Kellierhton Kingdom.

Author: Lloyd

We are accepting anything from egg desserts to rice, flour, scrap materials, etc.

Our fallen nobility lady… No, our queen has promised many rewards for success.

Relocation options for the Kellierhton Kingdom, multipliers on what you invested, etc.

(Finger pointing forward like a queen emoji)

Life is a gamble!

Join now!

“Well thought out.”

I entered the investment tab and pressed the only option available, Kellierhton.

Normally, I would expect to receive with the mana pills, the currency of this other world, but since Kellierhton was in a rush, they weren’t picky about investment items.

– Oh, this sounds fun?

– Do you accept straw too?

Lloyd) We accept anything ^^

– Do you accept sharp weapons?

Lloyd) Of course, welcome, sir ^^

ㄴ Look at how this guy’s attitude has changed, lol.

– Wow, they really accept anything, huh?

– Should I invest in some eggs from my home?

Kellierhton is rising!!!!

– Will you accept the remaining scraps of your mustache?

Lloyd) Get lost, you idiot.

ㄴ ㅠㅠ

ㄴ Haha, this guy’s attitude swings intensely.

– Now that she’s officially a queen, her behavior is still the same, lol.

– Sometimes old gallery language slips out, damn it, lol.

Title: Did Another World Coin appear?

Author: Jooddak☆

(Posting a meme of investing a massive amount of food in Kellierhton)

Now that it’s up, let’s post a follow-up, haha.

I broke the ice first, so follow me along!

– Let’s go!!!!!!!!

– Let’s turn our lives around!!!

– If Jooddak’s doing it, I have to follow, haha.

– I’ll hide and invest to definitely get citizenship, lol.

“Okay, okay, it’s going smoothly.”

When Kellierhton first posted the investment request, the gallery was indifferent.

However, with the official gallery system and my massive food investment greatly increasing the possibilities, the interest skyrocketed.

Plus, it served double duty for me, as I wouldn’t spend points mindlessly but regain them through investment.

– I’m investing 50 eggs.

– I’m investing 100kg of firewood.

– Damn, my clothing business went under, so I’m selling all the fabric, clothing, and dresses. Please let it rise!!!!

ㄴ Let’s hold tight!! Haha.

ㄴ Damn, don’t curse me.

“Feels like if we push a bit more, we can make it happen…”

Yet curiously, I felt a bit of unfulfillment.

If we push just a little more, I had a feeling we could hit it big.

I messaged the fallen nobility young lady.

Jooddak☆: Yo, lady.

Fallen Nobility Young Lady (thinking of a nickname^^): Kyaaaah!

Jooddak☆: S-sorry;; just calm down;

Fallen Nobility Young Lady (thinking of a nickname^^): …Phew, so what did you call for?

Jooddak☆: I was wondering if you needed anything.

Jooddak☆: Anything besides food now that the monsters are coming?

Food is fine. Clothes are also not bad.

But what Kellierhton needed urgently wasn’t those things.

There were rumors circulating in the gallery that monsters were gathering all over the Kellierhton region.

Fallen Nobility Young Lady (thinking of a nickname^^): We need a lot, but armor and weapons are the most lacking…

Fallen Nobility Young Lady (thinking of a nickname^^): Right now, we’re practically fighting bare-handed, you know? ㅇ︿ㅇ

Fallen Nobility Young Lady (thinking of a nickname^^): (Picture of a soldier holding torn cloth and a shabby wooden shield)

Jooddak☆: Ah, okay, got it.

“Then that’s enough.”

[Steel] Price range of 8.25 to 14 points per kg applied.

The shop is my god, and I am invincible.

I decided to flood this other world with steel.

Without any idea of what kind of results it might bring…

[‘Jooddak’s Marketplace’ new items in stock!]

Concept post) What the hell is this

(Performance test image of the steel plate)

(Images of all weapons breaking apart)

Where on earth did this come from?

Perfect.

It’s free of impurities and pristine.

So beautiful.

I’m sorry, but even dwarves couldn’t forge this perfectly.

Just looking at this makes me want to cry.

Even if I take pride in being a blacksmith, I’m completely at a loss.

What the hell is this?

Jooddak, what the hell is this???

– The more I see Jooddak, the more fascinating it gets ㅇㅇ;

ㄴ Where on earth did he even find something like this?

Even the kg price is around one mana pill, lol.

– So he’s a dragon after all?

– With magic like that and steel of that quality… there’s potential, isn’t there?

– You’re telling me he’s distributing this for one golden pill?

ㄴ Jooddak really overflows with humanity.

– So if I rummage through Jooddak’s home, I’d find this stuff everywhere?

ㄴ If you can withstand a shotgun hit, go for it, lol.

ㄴ If it’s a glancing blow, it might not hurt.

– Fighting!

– These guys are just trying to kill him while being vague, lol.

– Is Jooddak really a sage?

ㄴ Jooddak, I love you!!!!

ㄴ Able to give up his own interests for everyone… such a cool guy…

ㄴ Mommy, I want to grow up to be Jooddak! Mommy, I want to grow up to be Jooddak! Mommy, I want to grow up to be Jooddak!

Only a few hours had passed since I flooded this other world with steel.

The gallery was in an uproar over the marketplace buzz.

Perhaps I should have thought about the difference in quality and strength rather than just tossing steel in like it was all the same.

“No, what’s going on?”

I had merely bought what was cheapest at the shop and resold it as is.

Before I knew it, I was becoming an adult who was uninterested in profits.

And it was much closer than I expected to test the new steel supply.

Title: Monsters Wave is upon us!!!

(Full armor set made of steel)

Haha, it’s perfect.

– Let’s go, let’s go~

– Monsters, a bit of MSG in this, and it’s tasty, you know?

– The marketplace currency is coming!!

– I was scared until just now, but now I want to get hit and see how tough I am, haha.

The monster wave had reached right up to the doorstep.
