Absolute Person in Every Corner - Absolute Person in Every Corner chapter 32

[Episode 07] Seomyeon Station (5)

Giant snakes have a habit of eating their prey alive, which was not easy.

This is because it could have been quite dangerous if a living creature that had entered its stomach made a final push.

That’s why they use poison to completely subdue them, or strangle them to suffocate them before swallowing them.

However, this was somewhat true of large prey, and he had not the slightest concern about swallowing alive a rat that was far too small for his size.

He never dreamed of what consequences the thoughtless swallowing of a mouse would bring.

‘Okay I swallowed it.’

By the time Ha Dong-gun’s party arrived at Seomyeon Station, I had Seo Ye-jin run a mouse into the giant snake’s mouth.

He swallowed it without a moment’s thought, and I was able to peer into his stomach.

‘Open warehouse.’

There are a total of two skills that can be used while watching the vassals with the eyes of the absolute.

warehouses and shops.

Dignity maintenance skill was impossible to use.

This is because the realm created with the title of ‘servant’ of the vassals was different in nature from the realm declared in every corner.

In the realm they created, only the ‘Eye of the Absolute Eye’ could be used.

So it is impossible to create things like electricity or gas in this realm.

but.

‘Summon gas.’

It was possible to store the gas made in the household area into a warehouse and then summon it there using the warehouse skill.

It’s a bit of a trick.

Push Yi Yi—

By the time Ha Dong-gun’s party exited Line 2 and approached Line 1 where the giant snake was, his stomach was already full of gas.

And.

‘Summon burnt toilet paper.’

In the stomach of a giant snake full of gas, I summoned the prepared tissue paper on fire.

Once you enter the warehouse with a light on, you will come out in that state.

Since a fire was created in a place full of gas, the next result was fixed.

aaang-!

The splendid explosion that started from the giant snake’s stomach completely shattered its body.

“Ugh!”

Seo Ye-jin, who was sitting cross-legged next to me, woke up clutching her head.

He was shocked to lose the mouse in the aftermath of the explosion.

As much as they shared the sensation itself, they must have felt the pain of the explosion.

“it’s okay?”

“oh. Yeah! I’m fine! I’m just a little surprised.”

Although he was speaking bravely, his face was quite tired.

“Would you like to lie down on the sofa and rest for a bit?”

“Ah, it’s fine…”

“I do as I am told.”

“Then excuse me a little…”

I said to her, who was lying on the sofa with a tired face and closed her eyes.

“Thanks for your work.”

“yes···.”

While checking Seo Ye-jin’s condition, he summoned the eyes of the absolute and confirmed Ha Dong-gun’s party.

Ha Dong-gun’s party couldn’t come to their senses due to the sudden explosion.

‘It shouldn’t be what I caught.’

He must have died at the hands of his vassals who received the title of knight.

That way, you’ll be able to eat 6x the experience and settlement money.

If he died at my hands, he would suffer a sixfold loss.

‘Give party quest to Ha Dong-gun and Oh Eon-ju, finish the giant snake.’

Of the two, Ha Dong-gun got up first, and the giant snake’s head was smashed by the spear he threw, and he died instantly.

[You have hunted the King Snake (Lv. 40).]

[Acquire a very large amount of experience.]

[Won 1,812,043,879 has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]

[Citizen Ha Dong-gun defeated the head of ‘Seo-myeon Station’.]

[It is possible to build an outpost at Seomyeon Station.]

With over 1.8 billion in cash.

[Skill level has increased.]

[Skill level has increased.]

[Skill level has increased.]

[The proclamation has reached level 15.]

[Acquire 3 skill points.]

Three levels rose at once, and the accompanying pain came.

‘Ugh.’

What happened was that as the space increased, the intensity of the pain increased as well.

The area, which had been growing at random, stopped expanding only after completely swallowing a total of 10 buildings.

At least, if it is an advantage that the speed is faster, is it an advantage?

‘Is it about halfway left?’

13 out of 25 apartments in one complex were made into home areas.

It succeeded in taking half of the beggars.

[An object that satisfies the conditions to be accepted as a citizen has been found.]

[Do you want to grant citizenship?]

As 10 dongs increased at once, there were many people who accepted them as citizens.

‘200 people?’

214 to be exact.

More people than I thought were hiding in the house and holding on.

‘Grant it.’

The moment of granting citizenship to them en masse.

[The number of citizens has reached 1,000.]

[As the number of citizens reaches a certain level, all citizens will unlock the ‘basic level’ skill.]

{base salary} (passive)

The experience points and settlement money gained by citizens are separately increased by 100%.

‘What is this sound?’

The moment I checked the citizen information window, I knew what he meant.

『Name: Minho Kim (Lv. 17)

Reliability: 57 Loyalty: 13

Awakening Ability: None

EXP distribution rate: 70% (+100%)

Settlement distribution rate: 30% (+100%)

★Quest Grant Exit』

Literally basic level.

It was said that even if I adjusted the distribution rate to 0%, I would get 100% of the experience and settlement money separately.

‘It’s good.’

Even if it wasn’t, I was thinking about increasing the citizens’ settlement money.

It was possible to collect citizens’ money through the canteen, and considering the efficiency of ‘tax collection’, it was advantageous to invest more than a certain amount of money in citizens.

‘It was a bit disappointing that the trick didn’t work.’

An experiment was conducted to maximize the efficiency of tax collection.

It was to pay money through granting a quest, and in the process of experimenting with this, Dabin Kim was given a weekly wage.

However, there was a big problem with this method.

‘It means I have to take off 10% of the commission.’

In order to pay 700,000 won to Kim Da-bin, he had to pay 70,000 won for the quest.

The effect of tax collection is to copy 10% of the money, so it becomes plus or minus zero.

‘When you get it back, the 10% fee is deducted again, so it’s actually a loss.’

To benefit from tax collection, the money had to be buried for at least three months.

‘uh? Wait a minute. therefore···.’

As I was organizing my thoughts, I suddenly realized something.

‘If I don’t take out the money, I’ll keep making 10% profit, right?’

10% interest promised monthly, 120% interest in 1 year.

There was no such financial product anywhere.

If there was, it would be 100% a scam.

‘Should I invest only about 1 billion won?’

While I was seriously thinking about it, Seo Ye-jin, who was lying on the sofa, cautiously spoke to me.

“Hey… Jaehyun.”

“Well? Yeah?”

“I’m sorry to ask you this, but could you please bring my party here?”

Thirty-five survivors, including Seo Ye-jin’s family.

It was said that they provided supplies, but it was not a place to stay for a long time.

It was Seo Ye-jin who took a warm bath here and fell asleep in a cozy bed.

I want to give her family a normal life as soon as possible.

“Of course I should.”

Seo Ye-jin was delighted and got up from her seat and bowed her head.

“thank you!”

“Would you be able to control mice again now?”

“Sure! Totally fine!”

“I’ll tell you to follow the mice, so you can guide them.”

“All right!”

After giving the party quest to follow the mouse and rescue the survivors, he watched the party leisurely with the eyes of the absolute.

It wasn’t too difficult to get out of Seomyeon Station.

It was because there were no monsters as it was a giant snake area.

The scenery of the city I faced when I came out of Exit 2 of Seomyeon Station was a crucible of shock and fear.

‘It’s completely ruined.’

It was so miserable.

The overturned vehicles, the bloodstains on the roads, the broken windows of the first-floor buildings, and the rotting corpses left everywhere were appalling.

The silence fell, and the stillness was rather frightening.

Take-

Because Seo Ye-jin’s mouse guided them along the optimal route, there was almost no engagement.

Occasional encounters with goblins were all there was to it, and to Ha Dong-geon’s party, a group of goblins was no different than a piece of cake.

‘I guess I don’t have to worry about it.’

I focused on the skill window while maintaining the eyes of the absolute.

[Possessed Skill Points: 3]

‘Where should I invest this to spread rumors that I used it well?’

In the beginning, the answer was to raise shop skills unconditionally.

It was a situation where I had to register more items as quickly as possible.

‘But things have changed now.’

It was thanks to the greatly increased slots and ‘itemization’ function as the shop’s skill level reached level 5.

‘Now it’s a job to fill all 500 slots.’

Despite registering all items, including nutritional supplements and vitamins, he had not yet filled half of the 500 slots.

‘There’s no need to overdo it and level up the store.’

Other than that, there were plenty of places to invest skill points.

There were a total of five skills with the [+] button activated next to the current level: Dignity Maintenance, Warehouse, Absolute Eye, Absolute Health, and Invisible Hand.

‘As expected, the first skill must be the Eye of the Absolute.’

Now, the most useful skill is the Absolute Eye skill.

‘The compatibility with Seo Ye-jin is good.’

It would be the most important skill when going to rescue his family in the future.

I leveled up without hesitation.

‘Eyes of absolutes in every corner, level up.’

ugh

The moment when the Eye of the Absolute skill goes up to level 3.

hot-

‘Ugh.’

Along with the sensation of burning the surface of the eyes, a change occurred in the field of vision illuminated by the eyes of the Absolute.

「Goblin (Lv. 8)」 「Goblin (Lv. 7)」 「Goblin (Lv. 7)」 「Goblin (Lv. 7)」

Ha Dong-gun’s level began to appear above the heads of the goblins fighting with the party.

Looking closely, I could even read the characteristics of the goblins.

“Goblin (Lv. 8)”

Height 103 cm. They live in groups and are intelligent enough to use tools. Surprisingly, it has good eyesight, can see far, and has sharp enough eyes to distinguish objects without problems even in a dark cave.

‘It’s okay.’

Until now, the level was information revealed only by killing the corresponding monster.

However, now it is possible to know the level of the monster just by looking at it with the eyes of the absolute.

‘Even if it wasn’t so, I needed this ability.’

The simplest way to increase the difficulty of a quest was to have them hunt high-level monsters.

However, the problem is that the number of monsters above a certain level is rare.

Single-digit level goblins were scattered all over the place, but it was difficult to find even level 20 monsters right away.

‘To be honest, finding high-level monsters is more difficult than hunting high-level monsters.’

In order to grant Oh Eon-joo’s wish in the future, this ability was one of the necessary abilities.

First, find a monster of the appropriate level and give her a quest to save the cost of resurrection.

‘It’s a little disappointing that I can’t raise one more level.’

The [+] button disappeared next to the level 3 Absolute Eye skill.

It meant that the proficiency was still lacking.

‘Then next…’

The first thing that caught my eye before anything else was the ‘Maintain Dignity’ skill.

‘If Seo Ye-jin’s high-speed rise in reliability and loyalty is really due to the increase in the level of the maintenance of dignity skill, that alone is well worth the skill point investment.’

Not only was it helpful when accepting new vassals, but it also had the advantage of maximizing the effects of the titles such as ‘The Power of Trust’ and [Knight].

‘Maintain dignity, level up.’

The moment when I was about to check the newly appeared function as the skill to maintain the dignity of the absolute ruler of the house went up to level 4.

Taang-

‘yes?’

I woke up to the sound of gunshots out of nowhere.

As a result of checking with the eyes of the absolute, the owner of the gunshot was surprisingly a goblin.

‘That’s…?’

The moment the goblin tried to point its gun at Ha Dong-gun’s party again.

Shush! Awesome!

Moon Byeong-ho teleported behind him and cut off the goblin’s head.

“Cheating Geek!”

The rest of the goblins were mercilessly slashed by Moon Byeong-ho’s spear.

‘Register the item!’

While Byeong-ho Moon was killing the goblins, I registered the gun that had fallen on the floor, and even ordered it to be restored directly.

S&W M60 (KRW 476,320)

100 rounds of .38 caliber (KRW 158,400)

Looking at the pistol registered in the store, I couldn’t help but smile.

‘It’s a gun.’
