A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop - A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop chapter 98
Episode 98 – Predation and Evolution (8)
“Can you send more people?”
“That’s right. “The atmosphere has become more sinister recently, and various tribes are gathering on their own without the warchief stepping forward.”
Le Thai, who led the migrants, testified that the current atmosphere in the grassland was unusual.
Divided into numerous tribes and living hand-to-mouth, it was only recently that the entire grassland began to shake like dominoes due to the expansionary movements of a few forces.
Now that the reorganization of the forces was over, they were trying to get around each other, as if they were planning a full-scale power struggle.
‘That’s why they’re sending those who can’t afford it to us. Because they have something to gain too.’
Varun chuckled knowing Garhan’s intention.
This is because, from Garhan’s perspective, he can control the population appropriately through trading with the Arin tribe and make his tribe stronger with the resources he receives in return.
“The warchief kept his promise, so we must keep it too. “I will prepare the supplies I mentioned earlier, so take them with you.”
“Thank you, Chief.”
Varun distributed a number of resources, including food, iron weapons, and livestock, to Letai, who brought the settlers with him. These were items that were mostly left over for the Arin people, who farmed resources through games anyway.
In other words, they are the only ones in this grassland who can generously provide such precious materials for trade.
Garhan’s warriors and soldiers brought by Le’Tai were surprised to see Varun, who was already wearing armor made of Drake’s bones, and when they saw it, their mouths widened in astonishment.
“Les. Lead the new residents. “I think they need an explanation too.”
At the same time, Varun called his confidant and veteran soldier, Les, and instructed him to keep an eye on the migrants.
Although Letai explained as much as he knew about the Arin people, the immigrants still lacked proper information.
The settlers thought that Garhan had sold them into slavery, and they became convinced when they saw Letai trading supplies with Varun. Some people burst into tears, saying they had been deceived.
Varun tried to correct that.
‘It’s what he wants, but it shouldn’t cause problems.’
Varun had already realized that securing the population was something that even the guardian deity wanted.
We have to wage war against the bugs nesting in the north, so manpower is constantly needed. In such a situation, I had no intention of treating immigrants harshly.
After all, if they go through life and trouble together, they will soon become completely one.
“Then let’s go. “Maybe it won’t be long before I come again.”
“Go carefully.”
Soon, Le Tai left with his troops and the supplies he had received. Now, only the Arin people, including Varun, and the shivering immigrants were left.

“It’s a complete bonanza.”
It was an excellent choice for Varun to negotiate with Warchief Garhan and accept the settlers in exchange for some resources.
Because we can easily replenish the manpower we expend fighting against the terrible monsters called bugs.
I laughed as I watched the new residents being added to the status list one by one.
New traits they have, new talents. In my eyes, all of them seemed like human resources more precious than gold.
Besides, I no longer had to go out and manage new residents myself.
This is because senior residents who have already adapted to the existing solid system and the system teach and manage new people well.
‘Replenish the soldiers. The number of transporters, miners, and warriors increases.’
For existing tribes, only warriors would have been useful talents.
Awakening mana also depended on one’s own talent, and even if one possesses talent, it is impossible to awaken mana or bloom it if the environment does not support it.
However, the more I developed the system using the various games and programs that I activated by paying points, the more accurately and more I was able to discover the talents of residents that I could not find at first, as if I were discovering resources that could not be found in the past.
Most of the skills and abilities acquired in the game can be used in real life, so the more people who develop their characteristics, the more beneficial it is.
This time, we were able to block the attacks of enemies coming from the north to some extent, and attacking three hives in reverse was a significant achievement.
I left them to rest and take care of things on their own and decided to rest without calling Riena into a game today.
“I guess they’re going to make an announcement now. “Many countries have already talked to each other and agreed.”

But that didn’t mean I was taking a break either. The call from Lee So-yeon that arrived just in time was the call I had been waiting for.
‘It’s unbelievable.’
The first to publicly mention the bug and reveal its identity was the President of the United States. However, who spoke first was not particularly important.
As he himself mentioned, in the first place, many countries talked to each other and made the announcement as representatives.
“The response is enthusiastic. “Of course it is.”
“…Things that only happen in creative works are happening.”
As Lee So-yeon said, the world turned upside down. It was only natural that something that had already been filled with suspicions and speculations was recognized as an official fact.
I’m looking on the internet right now, but everywhere I look, this is the only story I’ve seen.
Not only about monsters called bugs, but also about users.
It was inevitable. The one who initially provided information about the bug and the one who made an official appearance and showed the powers and items he had acquired was an American user who gave his name as Brian.
Monsters trying to eat the world and people, and the emergence of unique beings who grab computers and manage people from other worlds within them to stop the monsters. It cannot help but become a hot topic.
“Everyone is looking for us.”
“It doesn’t matter what people think. Did you hear anything? “What are you going to do with this country?”
“There is no news yet. “I think it will probably be similar to the United States we were talking about.”
As it was announced that users exist on each server, that is, in each country, people in our country are also clamoring to find us and users belonging to this country.
The U.S. president, who announced the existence of bugs and users to the world, said that he would spare no effort in providing the highest level of support to users for the emergence and treatment of bugs.
So, if you become a user, do not hesitate to ask the government for help.
There was a high possibility that our country would do the same.
“Our original plan was to show up and sell something that could be sold when a world like this arrives, so there’s no need to reject it, right?”
“Hearing your voice, it seems like you want to come forward.”
“Well, that’s…”
I chuckled after hearing her words. Now that I think about it, Soyeon Lee was a person full of action and ambition from the moment I first met her.
As if my words had hit the nail on the head, I could hear her struggling over the phone.
“I don’t care. However, if you have to step forward, Soyeon Lee should take the lead. “I don’t want to show myself.”
I confessed something I had been deeply concerned about. I tried many different families and thought hard about it, but I still didn’t want my name or face to be known to the world.
From the moment I first met the residents who came to the desktop, I just wanted to watch them.
Above all, the more I turn my attention to the outside world, the more I have no choice but to neglect the residents.
Now that I cherish the people who came to me, I couldn’t leave them behind and go somewhere else.
“I…understand what you mean.”
After hearing what I said, she agreed with a small sigh.
Of course, it doesn’t mean I won’t step forward completely, so if she takes the lead and receives the attention of others, I can moderately work behind her.
It was a mutually beneficial action.
‘There must be an end, right?’
After ending the call with Lee So-yeon. I looked at the screen in the room with the lights off and observed the residents.
In the northern fortresses, soldiers were still cleaning up after themselves, and in villages, new village sites were being built for the new residents.
Even in games that run non-stop, many residents are doing their own work in their respective places.
With the development and growth so clearly visible, I couldn’t help but think about the future.
When will the bug attacks end? Will it end once we eliminate all the bastards who destroyed the northern dwarf kingdom? Mutants have already appeared that have learned how to form a formation and attempt long-distance attacks. How much stronger will they become in the process?
“Ugh.”
[Activation of Hero Training Center]
As my thoughts became more and more complicated, I sighed and activated the building I had built in a corner of the village with the mouse. The Hero Training Center is the basic building provided when you start Glory Tower.
The function of this building is to produce hero units with various skills.
The heroes’ skills, such as the countless fire arrows and ice arrows falling from the sky, were a kind of crack that played an important role in defense.
[Deployable units: Larsen, Tur, Toa]
Looking at the explanation, I found that the only people who could be deployed were those who had become wizards through Dark Blood.
Among them, I placed Larsen, who was the first to change into a wizard and had the highest level of skill.
The boy struggling on the mouse was seen going into the building.
If the large-scale magic that appears in the game is actually realized, it will be a great help in large-scale battles.
I would like to let them rest well, but we know that the enemy’s growth rate is unusual, so we must hurry as much as possible.
‘Mountain after mountain. ‘I attacked three nests, but now there are four?’
I sometimes use the mouse to take the lead in moving residents around, but that wasn’t always the case.
There were many cases where I had to follow the residents around because of their movements. Right now, the people with Riena at the forefront were continuing to move, making it difficult for me, who was trying to turn off the lights and go to sleep, to sleep.
I didn’t call the game to rest, but Riena was busy riding around on horseback and scouting out new areas.
“—.”
As they scouted the surroundings, what they discovered was again a hive. It was almost laughable to see how many and how wide those crazy monsters were.
‘Why didn’t you help me? No, why didn’t we attack together from the beginning?’
The newly discovered hive in the distance, which the residents were looking down on from a hill, looked like it was full of troops, but it did not provide any help at the moment when the nest of its brethren right in front of it was destroyed.
It was the same when they first attacked. Could it be that people who share one goal are competing among themselves?
‘That’s not important now.’
I shook my head while trying to divert my thoughts, forced my eyelids that were heavy from sleepiness, and moved the mouse.
By deploying defense towers using the goods you had saved, you had to create a new defense line to prepare for more and stronger enemies.
