Chapter 186



『 There are many users who are exploring the path to hell in order to obtain a memphis, commonly referred to as ‘Noe . ’ There was a theory that the entrance to hell is somewhere in the Astra Mountains, but that turned out to be false . ‘User robbers’ in the Astra Mountains are believed to have spread the information in order to attract people, so please be careful . 』

『 I’ve just received breaking news . It’s said that a map of the legendary ‘Siren Kingdom’ is being circulated . Countless users are now heading to the Siren Kingdom . Who was the first person to find the Siren Kingdom? There are all types of speculation among the experts… 』

Youngwoo listened to Satisfy related news while driving . It wasn’t out of interest, but obligation . He was now well aware that information was power .

“The first discoverer of the Siren Kingdom… They would get titles, money and reputation . It’s huge . ”

He didn’t know who it was, but he was envious . His stomach started hurting .

‘…Mind control . Mind control . ’

Youngwoo was worried that his hair loss would start again, so he tried to stay calm until he arrived at his destination .

Creak .

Youngwoo parked 23 and got down . Just two weeks ago, the front of Youngwoo’s house was crowded with people, but not anymore . The people of the neighborhood strictly controlled the access of outsiders, so Youngwoo’s family was able to regain their normal lives .

“I’m home . ”

“Welcome . ”

Youngwoo’s mother looked 10 years younger . She had been suffering because of her son over the past few years, but now she was always happy because her son was the hero of South Korea . She could see the greatness of her son . She was welcomed everywhere she went, just because she was Youngwoo’s mother .

“Was the filming completed well? Wash your hands first . Then come eat . I roasted some croaker . ”

“Yep . ”

In the past, Youngwoo hadn’t been motivated by anything . Even eating or washing up was troublesome . But now he was completely different . His motivation was revived . He even jogged in the morning with Sehee .

“Oppa, did you only sleep four hours yesterday?” Sehee came out from where she was studying in her room and asked . She didn’t show it, but recently she was very worried about her brother . She was afraid he might collapse from overwork . There was also the tax bombs .

Youngwoo replied while eating rice . “I will be able to sleep more from today onwards . For the time being, I will refrain from broadcasting activities . So let’s jog every morning, starting from tomorrow . ”

“I thought that you didn’t want to exercise?”

“I have to do it . I need to take care of my health . ”

“It’s the right idea . Health is more important than money . ” Those were his father’s words . He was always strict because he wanted his son to grow up as quickly as possible, and now he treated his son with sincerity .

“Youngwoo, you have already succeeded . You have acquired tremendous wealth and honor at a young age . You’ve also paid off my debt . That alone is enough . Don’t ruin your health by being too greedy .

That’s right . It was enough . How many people built up 10 billion won assets at the age of 28, as well as acquired a worldwide reputation? The best athletes had hundreds of millions in their bank accounts in their 20’s, but Youngwoo’s father thought that wasn’t necessary .

He thought that Youngwoo had the same thought . But Youngwoo was still lacking . Youngwoo was much greedier than his father thought .

‘It’s better to have more money, Father . Now we are eating yellow corvina as a side dish, but what about in the past?’

Up to last year . Youngwoo never saw any beef in his house . There was a lot of radish soups and the meat was always pork . The taste wasn’t that good . The radish soup was too light, and the pork was too dry . Youngwoo misunderstood while eating the radish soup and pork .



‘The beef won’t taste that good in soup… Is there a rule that we shouldn’t have beef in our house?’

But what was the truth?

This year, he ate a lot of beef . The soup broth boiled with brisket was much sweeter and tastier, while the pork skewers made with good pork were soft and easy to chew . It went without saying that the beef short ribs melted in his mouth .

That’s right . There wasn’t a rule against beef . It was just that his family didn’t have money for beef . The difference between having money and no money was revealed from such a small thing .

‘I’m going to make more money, Father . ’

Youngwoo’s father was a person who lived thinking that he should save, rather than earn a lot . Youngwoo didn’t say it aloud, but he was much greedier than his father . He already had a taste of money, so he didn’t want to lose it . He didn’t want to go back to the life where he didn’t have any money .

‘Yes… I will accept Huroi and Lauel’s opinions . ’

Youngwoo felt aware of it after his father . He was looking at a higher place .

‘Become a lord . ’

Bairan Village, ruled by the Tzedakah Guild, was elevated to a city 10 days ago . People were attracted to Grid, Jishuka, Pon and Regas’ actions in the National Competition . And Bairan’s monthly taxes collected was a huge 500,000 gold . It was valued at approximately 600 million won .

It meant that developing one territory would earn him a huge amount of money every month . He couldn’t not feel greedy .

‘I will have an estate . ’

In Satisfy, Youngwoo was the husband of a territory owner .

But being the husband and being the lord were distinctly different . As Irene’s husband, he might have some influence on the policies, but he wasn’t authorized to directly manage the taxes . Youngwoo wanted to own a territory himself .

After the meal ended .

“Oppa . ”

“Huh?”

“…Good night . ”

Sehee wanted to say something, but in the end, she just went back to her room . She was acting strange .

“Good night~”

Youngwoo was so deep in thought that he couldn’t notice his sister’s strange behavior . He immediately entered the capsule .

“Then I will begin . ”

The time finally came to log into Satisfy . But before that, there was something he had to do .

“First of all . ”

Ttalkak!



Youngwoo accessed the Internet and entered ‘Grid’s Fan Cafe . ’ Then as one of the 1 . 36 million members, he started writing praise about Grid . He did this on a daily basis .



The more I look, the more handsome he is . ^^ ~ There was a rumor that he was bald, but that is clearly groundless ^^ㅎㅎ

“Good . ”

He wore a partial wig for a while before of his hair loss . There was some rumors saying that he looked strange on air or that he was bald . Youngwoo was satisfied with the post he wrote about himself and succeeded in joining Noe’s fan club .

Noe’s fan club had 500,000 more members than his .

‘Dammit…’

A cat was more popular than him? His pride hurt every time he saw it . Youngwoo started writing slanderous words about Noe as usual .



Noe will ruin Grid’s beauty when placed side-by-side . The cat is arrogant .

“Now I have released some of my frustration . Huhuhut…!”

Youngwoo was satisfied when looking at his malicious post . He finally logged into Satisfy .



***

“Dear husband~”

Winston Castle .

A woman with a small figure entered Grid’s arms as soon as he opened his eyes . Grid smiled at the familiar sight as soon as he logged in .

“Have you been waiting? Irene . ”

Grid’s facial expression and tone differed depending on who the opponent was . Shin Youngwoo or Grid . He was a blacksmith or a swordsman . Grid had been living this four-fold life for a long time, so his acting ability naturally increased . No, maybe he had several personalities .

“Am I that good?” Grid asked Irene with gentle eyes .

“There is no one better than you in this world . ”

“Irene…”

“Dear husband…”

The two of them slept together just yesterday . This was already the 8th time . Grid was a ‘god’ in bed thanks to his high stamina and dexterity stat, so it was natural to be loved .

“Every day, I want every day to be like yesterday . ”

“Haha…” Grid laughed awkwardly as Irene honestly expressed her desire . Then he asked, “Where are my knights?”

“I’m not sure . Everyone is busy today . ”

Grid had a total of three knights . One was the NPC Jude, while the other two were Huroi and Lauel . The first dual class and the strongest of the Ten Rookies had pledged their loyalty to Grid . Due to the game system, he had to pay at least 500 gold monthly to each knight, but it was worth it .

The master/slave relationship was useful in many ways . For example .

“Summon Knights . ”



[Which knight would you like to summon?]



“Huroi and Lauel . ”



[The summoning command has been sent . The response is pending . ]

[The targets have accepted the summons . ]

[The knights Huroi and Lauel have been summoned . ]



Once the knights answered their master’s call, they would be summoned to his side, no matter how far away the two of them were . It was a skill so it couldn’t be used in some areas or when he had the silence debuff on him, but Grid was resistant to the silence debuff . It meant Grid could summon the knights at any time, so this system was very good to him .

“You came, Lord . ”

Huroi was loyal to Grid and now he was completely immersed in genuinely serving Grid . He was like a character from a historical drama .

“You connected to the game late today . ”

Lauel was no different from Huroi . He was faithful to his role . He didn’t use the exaggerated title of Lord, but he bowed after being summoned . Grid looked at his two subordinates for a while .

“Come, get up . Huhuhut… I am very glad to see your dependable appearances . ”

“…”

Irene was embarrassed for some reason . She used the excuse that she was busy and left this place . This meant only three people remained in Grid’s office .

Lauel asked as soon as Irene left . “You could just whisper to us . Why did you use the summoning? Don’t you know that the skill has a cooldown time of 36 hours? What will happen if you can’t use it during a crucial moment?”

Grid was unique to Lauel, because he was the only one who could produce the items Lauel wanted . Grid spoke like it wasn’t a big deal .

“Well, what is the big deal?”

“…”

This was complete carelessness . It was hard to make Grid act carefully after he defeated big names in the National Competition . Sooner or later, his nose would be hurt by it .

‘That big nose, I will protect it . ’

As Lauel was thinking about the weapon Grid would produce for him, Huroi asked Grid a question .

“Then you summoned us because…?”

Huroi had been in the process of completing a monster hunting sub-quest that took him three hours by drake to get there . He wanted to believe that Grid summoned him because it was urgent .

Then Grid opened his mouth .

“I’m going to become a lord . ”

‘Finally…!’

It was after the National Competition . One month passed in reality, while it was three months in Satisfy . During that time, Grid had created items for the Tzedakah and accumulated wealth and skill levels . Grid acted faithfully as the guild’s blacksmith . Grid was satisfied with this . He was overjoyed every time he got a new production method .

But Huroi and Lauel thought this was a waste of Grid’s power . It was unfortunate to see such a unique existence be satisfied with being the blacksmith of a small guild, without any larger goals .

The two of them tried to persuade Grid . Escape from the small cage called the Tzedakah Guild and expand into the wider world .

Grid worried over his decision for a few days .

“I will withdraw from the Tzedakah Guild . I will create my own unique force, based on your opinions . ”

In the end, he decided . Thanks to this, Huroi and Lauel were ecstatic . They thought that the moment to show off their talents had arrived .

‘Lord will be the first user…’

‘To become a king . ’

The two men were thinking about the Snake Guild . With Grid’s power, couldn’t they dream about conquering the continent? It wasn’t Zibal, but Grid’s fate to become the first emperor . The two people didn’t doubt it .

Grid currently only had the simple goal of ‘becoming a lord,’ but Huroi and Lauel were dreaming of placing Grid on a higher mountain . In order to do that…

“After establishing your new guild, invite the Tzedakah Guild . ”

Inevitably, a lot of talent was required . The Tzedakah Guild had the strongest rankers and were a force that must be absorbed .

Lauel explained, “The Tzedakah Guild is already addicted to the items you produce and won’t want to lose this . Some of them, including Jishuka, have a vested interest in you . They will surely join you . If you want, they will surely become your subordinates . ”

Lauel was certain of it . He had only followed Grid for a month and within that month, he became someone that couldn’t live without Grid . He was a slave to items .

At the same time .

“It has been a long time . ”

A blonde female was attracting attention as she entered Winston . The girl’s ID was Euphemina . She was the first epic class and the first discoverer of the Siren Kingdom .
