A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop - A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop chapter 103

Episode 103 – Survivors (3)

“Lee So-yeon. So, Soyeon Lee is that…user? “You’re doing that while raising strange people on the computer?”

“Guardians. Yes. “We can fight against bugs with them and become stronger together.”

“I saw the video you sent, but can you prove it here again?”

“It’s nothing difficult.”

Those who were located in a secret place, a place that ordinary people could not enter, were people who had a reputation in this land of Korea.

However, the president, members of the National Assembly, and ministers were not the protagonists of this event.

Lee So-yeon, who became the protagonist of such a situation, stood up, suppressing the pressure and tension she had never felt before.

Her older brother Lee Ho-myeong, who was looking worried, handed over the cane he was holding to her. She lifted the staff, summoned a sphere of crackling thunderbolts, and showed it to the people.

It wasn’t a gimmick or graphics or anything like that. For now, it’s just floating around, but if she gives her instructions, this lightning sphere will immediately emit powerful lightning and bombard the front.

Everyone here has already seen the video recording it.

“Well…”

“The proof is sufficient. Now let’s discuss what comes next.”

People were buzzing and looking at her with curious eyes. In a way, that attention was the attention she wanted as an aspiring businesswoman with ambition. That’s why Soyeon Lee confidently received those gazes.

“There are already areas where problems are caused by monsters that seem to be bugs. In our country, it’s not that bad yet, but the future is unpredictable. “Although it is possible to deal with it by deploying the military, I think it would be wise to come up with as many different methods as possible.”

The young president, now in his second year of office, paid attention to Lee So-yeon’s power.

Until now, it was common in the world to mobilize the military to suppress the emergence of invaders from other worlds.

Obviously, guns and cannons were effective against bugs, so it wasn’t like the world collapsed due to the appearance of bugs, but mobilizing the military to bomb and shoot inside its own territory was a risk in itself.

“Furthermore, according to the testimony, the hole through which the bugs crawled out cannot be closed except by users like Lee So-yeon here.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“At least I think it is right for the government to step forward and provide support. “It’s not like there are no cases, so it’s not impossible.”

The President offered national support to Lee So-yeon. The method presented openly was a direct imitation of the American case.

Enormous support and responsibility that comes with it. Of course, from the individual user’s perspective, this method is much more reasonable than forcibly handing over to the state.

“Thank you for suggesting it first, but I want to make a slightly different suggestion.”

But Lee So-yeon came here already determined to reject that kind of control. This was possible because she was not in a position where she needed national support.

There is a possibility of retaliation. However, she had a part of faith.

“It’s amazing that the idea of creating a company and doing business with the country was accepted all at once.”

-There was strong opposition from politicians and bureaucrats, but the president heard it positively. New users can join without burden if they are given a choice, and damage can be reduced only if they volunteer.

Soyeon Lee, who said she was exhausted, told me what she had been going through while I was groaning in front of the computer.

She has come forward to negotiate with this country on her own. About users, about bugs, about this thing that will only get bigger in the future.

Newly awakened users, like me and Lee So-yeon, will be born regardless of class, gender, or age.

Their tendencies are also very different. Some of them may not want to fight no matter how dire the situation is, while others may want to fight.

Lee So-yeon’s logic that there should be an option to receive compensation according to one’s performance, rather than burdening such people with the responsibilities and obligations that naturally follow enormous support, made sense.

If that didn’t work, there was no need for my worries and concerns about secretly visiting the president using the cloak of a hermit.

“You didn’t ask about me?”

-Actually, it was a great help. Of course, I asked him, but he said he didn’t know and appealed that since there are people like Junyoung, we need the company even more.

Even though I was wearing a cape, I showed up in front of people once and asked about myself.

As expected, there were also stories about me. I, who does not reveal my identity, is annoying and annoying to them.

But unfortunately for them, I will not reveal my identity like this in the future. Even though I heard Lee So-yeon talk about the events that happened today, I was completely out of breath.

‘That doesn’t mean I don’t do my duty.’

The user’s duty is to nurture and manage the residents on the screen.

After ending communication with Soyeon Lee, I looked at the desktop again.

Among the newly joined dwarves, those who showed talent were placed in the game to develop their characteristics, and the village was running well as usual.

“It’s been a while. Have you come back now that the chaos in the city has subsided? “Your partner didn’t come with you.”

In that state, I ran a game. The game I played was Dark Blood. However, this time I was alone without Riena. Riena is sleeping soundly right now.

“You want to buy armor? “It won’t be difficult.”

The reason I turned on the game was to meet the armor craftsman who can be found in Chapter 2.

The armorer, who becomes a kind of merchant character after the quest, sells various equipment to the player. In particular, as the chapter progresses, the pool of equipment that can be purchased becomes wider.

Various equipment for each occupation. Among these equipment, there was equipment with special powers, such as Riena’s armor obtained as a quest reward.

“You recognize good things. It is an armor with strong anti-magic power. “It’s comparable to the armor of the Holy Knights.”

Money is naturally piling up. This is because the countless enemies that residents defeat every day in hunting mode are all accumulated with my character’s money.

I used some of that money to buy a suit of armor. It is a female armor similar to Riena’s. It didn’t look like this originally, but this too… had a mode applied to it.

“But my partner already gave me something nice, so who are you going to give it to? Are you sure you’re going to wear it?”

I shook my head at the craftsman’s useless words, put the armor in my inventory, and left.

The reason I bought this armor in this game was not to put it on my character, but to give it to Shura.

‘You have to push as much as you can.’

This was because he was planning to support the Holy Knights formed by Riena and Shura.

The knights who serve me? It was extremely burdensome, but I was willing to sacrifice myself if it could give them a strong heart to fight.

‘What will happen? Will it continue to increase or will it be moderately adjusted?’

The operation of the Holy Knights was entirely up to Riena. Depending on what choices she makes, the Holy Knights may grow rapidly, or they may be managed more strictly and not increase much.

Personally, I wanted the latter. As long as I decide to support it, all the residents will want to become Holy Knights, but that would be a burden.

“–, —!?”

next day. I called Shura, not Riena, to the Dark Blood world.

Although she was a dependable female warrior with many accomplishments, the girl who still needed to grow up was left in an unfamiliar place and was wary of her surroundings with a frightened look on her face.

“—!?”

‘Are you so surprised?’

When I approached Shura and tapped her on the back, she jumped up, lost her footing, and fell.

I, who knew how this girl fought when fighting enemies, found the sight ridiculous.

‘The size should fit on its own.’

When I gave her a thumbs up, she seemed to calm down a bit, so I took out the armor set I had purchased from my inventory.

There was no problem with the size during Riena’s time, so I expected that the item would adjust its size on its own this time as well.

And as expected, the armor in her hand had shrunk to fit her body.

‘Please survive for a long time.’

I smiled bitterly as I saw her thanking me as if she was moved.

It wasn’t just once or twice that I saw residents die, but there were people who played important roles or were particularly affectionate.

Shura, seen from the beginning, was one of them. I can’t help but feel anxious every time I see this girl, who initially fought with anger and hatred, grow up.

“Nothing will happen today, right?”

After taking Shura back to the village, I yawned and tried to get up to eat breakfast.

The northern land is also quiet now, and neither the village where residents began their activities nor the surrounding land sounded an invasion warning.

[Enemy Invasion]

“ok?”

However, as if I had planned for this moment, just as I was about to wake up, a notification appeared on the monitor.

I sat down again and quickly flipped through the screen. The place where the alarm went off is where residents set up a guard post and dispatch scouts to periodically patrol the area.

The alarm went off because there were soldiers there.

‘Garhan’s soldiers?’

On the left side of the screen, opposite to the right side where the guard post was, several people were desperately running on horseback.

I right-clicked on them to get information and looked at them with a shocked face. Although they appeared as enemies with red borders, their appearance was too haggard to be called spiritual enemies.

I was about to bring down the hammer if I had to, but decided to wait for a while. There were only a few people anyway, so it was unlikely that our soldiers at the guard post would be harmed.

“—!”

As expected, not long after, our scouts spotted them and rode their horses towards them. I took a weapon with me in case of emergency, but I never had to use it.

This is because as soon as Garhan’s soldiers saw their allies, they urgently shouted something and stopped talking. No weapons were used during the process.

‘What are we talking about?’

I got used to most things, but it was frustrating sometimes not being able to hear their trivial conversations.

As expected, as if they had heard something unusual, the faces of Garhan’s soldiers became increasingly pale as they spoke, and the faces of our soldiers became stained with embarrassment.

“Taking you away?”

Afterwards, our soldiers chatted quickly with each other and began heading toward the village with those who had come. If it were something trivial, I wouldn’t have done this.

That means it is a very important thing.

I ran faster, picked up a scout who was trying to report the news in advance, and quickly moved him to the village.

“–!?”

“–, —!”

The soldier who had moved like that ran to Varun, clutching his dizzy head, and parrot-likely told him what he had heard and what he had heard.

Varun also couldn’t hide his embarrassment, but his face hardened as he prepared to leave quickly.

[Tribal Chief Varun’s Concerns]

“It’s gone.”

As I wished, Varun agonized over this issue and expressed his concerns. And as I peeked at it, I could see what had happened.
