Chapter 80

[Title: Is This Enough to Call it a Success?]

(Recliner meme sitting in the corner of a hut)

Looks like a single-seater sofa, but I’ve never seen this brand before.

Seems like I’m the first lucky winner of this?

I was planning to sell it right away, but it really melts away a lifetime of fatigue, so I’m keeping it, lol.

I’ll use it until I can’t anymore and then sell it, lol.

– If you’re bragging, pay the brag tax, damn it…

– Wow, I’m not even jealous of mansion furniture, whoa;

– Wait, why doesn’t Head of the Gallery post something like this!!!

– Damn…

Writer) I’m not selling it, lol.

I genuinely wish I could just have that luck once.

If you’ve seen it, get lost.

– Wow, lol, that deserves a high rating.

– I’m throwing in a high rating, lol.

– Even an alchemist would cry over this miracle trade rate, whoa;

– If I did around 30 draws, how far would I go? lol

Writer) I didn’t even have the mindset to stop… damn.

– Do you see Spicy Tuna as a joke? lol

Writer) Wanna throw down?

Fact) That’s a fact.

Writer) What the hell is with you, damn it.

After the gacha was introduced to the marketplace, the post frequency skyrocketed.

Most posts were about gacha, but I guess it was significant that items not listed in the draw were instead published in the marketplace.

– Why are so many things coming up that I’ve never seen before?

– For real, it’s a rare item, the only one in existence, whoa.

Writer) The marketplace collectors are gonna lose it!

Writer) If you draw it cheap, you sell it and turn your life around.

The odds weren’t set atrociously low.

Drawing once would cost about 10,000 yen in modern standards.

Drawing 10 times would cost a whopping 90,000 yen.

With that, I added mid-tier items to the gacha items by sorting them into grades.

The range was diverse.

“Just pick items priced around 30,000 yen from the marketplace and put them into the mid-tier.”

Gift sets of red ginseng, tea bags, and even school chairs were included.

Even those were being sold at exorbitant prices for various reasons in Another World.

Thanks to that, it could continue to add firewood endlessly instead of just fluttering up and fizzling out.

Full-Peel Elf: Head of the Gallery, how did you even think of this?

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire: Amazing.

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire: So this is how you make money.

Full-Peel Elf: In a good way, it resembles a devil.

The praise from the Deputies was overwhelming.

Even in the world of modern capitalism, this method had been run into the ground for a reason.

For the dopamine-deprived medieval people, gacha was literally the devil’s temptation.

– Damn it, I can’t hold back. I’m throwing all my money in.

– I’m genuinely so angry. Why am I like this?

– It’s either the marketplace will die, or I will die.

– This is awful, I broke the bathtub.

Writer) Why did you break it, you crazy person?

“Oh, that’s not it.”

The issue was that it was genuinely the devil’s temptation.

Within just one day, or actually half a day, people started appearing who were addicted.

Isn’t this time for monsters from the rift to cheer aloud?

So I immediately uploaded a notice.

[Notice: Stop!]

(Head of the Gallery character with a determined hand gesture)

First of all, thanks to Gallum for making the Head of the Gallery character, lol.

Everyone, stop with the gacha draws!

People are getting addicted faster than I thought.

So, I’m updating it now!

Gacha Drawing Ver. 2

1. You can do 10 draws a day, up to a maximum of 10 times.

2. You must have at least 500 mana pills to attempt a 10-draw.

3. A ceiling system is provided.

3-1 If you attempt to draw 50 times, a mid-tier item will be provided.

4. No more blanks.

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 512]

– I was about to curse, but I worship you for points 3 and 4!

– No more blanks? Damn it, Head of the Gallery, give me a kiss!!!

– Wow~ this is so satisfying!

– But what about the Gallums who drew beforehand?

Writer) They’ll be included in the ceiling count!

Writer) Damn it, I trusted you, Head of the Gallery!!!

Normalizing the gacha system.

Although the drawing frequency decreased, there were no posts about going bankrupt out of desperation.

“I’m not struggling due to a lack of mana pills, anyway.”

There were plenty of sources of income aside from gacha.

Having set reasonable limits, I thought naturally that gacha excitement was dying off.

But suddenly, new firewood appeared…

Ha… I can’t believe this…

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 412]

– Hahahaha, that’s when the swearing comes out, right?

– The heartfelt cursing from the Deputy? That’s rare!

– Hahaha, literally!

– Is the Deputy actually drawing in the gacha? Damn, haha!

“Why’s he doing that?”

The Deputy got addicted to gacha.

The Gallums dove into the new marketplace system.

And among them, our proud long-eared Deputy was diving in as well.

Hoo… hoo… hoo…

– Hahaha, I’m having hyperventilation over here!

– Breathe, dude, breathe!

– It’s obvious the jokes are all from Full-Peel Elf, haha!

Writer) For real, other elves are in the uncanny valley, but this guy goes beyond the valley to the mighty joy mountain, it’s just pure hilarity haha!

Writer) For real, the logic is just different haha!

Writer) Only problem is it’s the truth, though.

Full-Peel Elf had completely gotten hooked.

I thought I’d only try it once, but inevitably I tried it nine times.

The result was a massive drop.

– Head of the Gallery*) Oh, calm down.

Writer) Hahaha, the Head of the Gallery is stepping in to mediate!

Writer) Do you think that would go in one ear and out the other? Ah, haha!

Writer) The creator is telling me to calm down, how ridiculous, haha!

I tried to comment back, but Full-Peel Elf had lost his rationality completely.

– Full-Peel Elf: There’s no retreat now!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) Let’s go! Please!!!

Finally, I impulsively tried all 10 draws for the day, totaling 100 draws attempted.

[Full-Peel Elf has won the ‘Ice Water Refrigerator.’]

In the end, I made a mess of things.

– Full-Peel Elf) Kyahhh!!!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) Damn, this is it!!!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) (Twirl meme)

Writer) Hahahaha, what a crazy girl!

Writer) Damn, this is the Deputy’s dignity…

Writer) Head of the Gallery*) Please calm down, damn it.

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) Do I care? You made this monster! Elhuhuwuuu!!!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) ))))(((()))))(((()

Writer) Damn, hahahahaha!

That moment, it created a scene equivalent to reaching the semifinals of the World Cup.

In that moment, people put aside their jealousy and clapped for pure joy.

But that joy was short-lived; naturally, noise started to rise in the Gallery.

– But this draw is suspicious, jpg.

– Isn’t it preferential treatment because it’s the Deputy?

– Damn, is this the kind of thing where connections matter?

– Do you really believe that? Haha!

Right away, conspiracy theorists emerged from everywhere.

They claimed I had favored Full-Peel Elf and forced the result at the end.

And on the other hand…

– Shouldn’t you have asked Head of the Gallery for things beforehand?

Writer) For real, the one who takes the highest salary…

Writer) Analysis post) The Deputy gets a monthly salary of up to 10,000 mana pills + new items given.

Writer) Damn;

They’re already taking huge benefits from me, and now they’re claiming this as a right too?

– If you have a conscience, spit it back out!

– Guys who should have been rich for a long time, for real;

– Cut the Deputy and put me in as the Deputy!

Writer) Nothing wrong with it.

Writer) Nothing wrong with it.

Writer) 22.

The gallery was engulfed in chaos in an instant.

And normally, in chaos of this scale, administrators would be flustered.

Certainly, the early Full-Peel Elf would have been that way, but she was different now, having become accustomed to tactical nuclear strikes.

Hahahahahahaha!

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 3512]

– Damn, haha!

– She’s really out of her mind, haha!

– This Deputy is even more special than the Affectionate Konik, haha!

– Deleting countless rage memes, she just…

Writer) (Speechless… character).

– Huh, oh…

Writer) ?

Writer) Excuse me.

It was precisely consistent dismissal and provocation.

Why? Because she never receives a salary to begin with.

– Full-Peel Elf) I don’t get a salary.

She just ended up as a slave for free, wrestling with rage memes every day.

Heaven help her! A blue life constantly running off to snag cola and soju.

Writer) Damn, who’s gonna believe that?

Writer) How does that make sense? You work for free?

Writer) Hahaha, there’s a limit to how much one can deceive.

Writer) Who’s gonna believe that?

Naturally, the Gallums didn’t believe her.

It was easy to see why; deleting all those dwarf memes, monster nude edits for free?

It was undoubtedly hard to believe.

– Full-Peel Elf) ^^

The problem was, whether they believe it or not, it was the truth.

Writer) Oh, that feels real.

Writer) This sounds serious, doesn’t it?

Writer) Wait, so you really don’t get paid?

People gradually began to realize that it might actually be true and murmured among themselves.

And soon the arrows of controversy naturally turned back to me, who had pointed at the Deputy.

– Head of the Gallery was a trickster businessman…

– Cute little slave of a boss, ha!

– (Not a human… character).

– But isn’t that a reward of sorts?

Writer) (Commissioned artwork of a cute Head of the Gallery).

Writer) Oh, looks like that!

Writer) Oh wow, this is interesting, damn it!

– You need to clear yourself!

– Don’t you feel sorry for the poor blue slaves?

– While cleaning the restroom, throw them something!

– Freeloading trash cleaning old men, send some money their way!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) (Are you out of your mind? Elf character).

“Hmm.”

However, I was aware to some extent myself.

This isn’t the ordinary gallery level; it’s a massive gallery enveloping the entire world with just two Deputies.

There must be clear compensation.

“But giving out money isn’t the answer.”

The moment you start handing out money, it can no longer be considered a gallery.

The Deputies would no longer be a hobby but rather a kind of job.

There’s a reason people regret turning hobbies into jobs.

“Then again, not giving money would be awkward…”

After all that pondering, I came to one conclusion.

[Title: The End of the Deputy Salary Controversy.jpg]

(10 draw ticket for the 10th year position)

I’ll give this every month, so let’s make a deal, lol.

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 2]

– Wow~

– I can accept that, lol.

– I thought if I got paid, I’d feel jealous, but this is just fine!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) ?

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) Are you kidding me?

Writer) Hahaha, you chose the Deputy.

Writer) Just put up with it with guts.

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) I didn’t choose, wanna die?!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) So, I’m serious! Head of the Gallery, from now on, listen to me and clean the gallery diligently!

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) (Elf character clutching her face in misery).

Writer) Full-Peel Elf) I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire, what are you doing! Let’s go protest together!

Now that I think about it, there was one more Deputy.

Surprisingly, I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire’s silence regarding this controversy was strange.

Perhaps being the lord of the castle already meant they had a lot of mana pills, that’s why they weren’t concerned?

But that was a misconception.

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire: Ah.

– Hahahahaha!

– There’s really a gambling addict here!

– Full-Peel Elf) Hieek!

Writer) Are you awake now?

Writer) Looks like the mirror treatment is effective.

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire had genuinely fallen into the gambling pit.

Having used up the daily limit long ago, they even emptied out the 100 draws I gave.

Of course, the results were epic failures.

After spending the last Bottled Water 500ml, I left a message after a moment of silence.

– I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire) Head of the Gallery.

Writer) Head of the Gallery*) Yeah?

– I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire) Want to meet?

Writer) Holy moly!

Writer) Whoa!

– The gallery was fun. I feel like I enjoyed it enough, yeah.

Writer) When I think about it, you’re a good person, Head of the Gallery, yeah.

– Damn, don’t send me away! Hahaha!
