Login Psychopath - Chapter 156



Only Noblemtl

Episode 156.

After finishing his conversation with Grania, the first thing Isin did was to build a training tower.

[ is built.]

[Construction costs of 30,000,000 gold will be deducted.]

[Maintenance costs are 3,000,000 gold per month.]

I had to put off the arena until later and choose between the and , but considering the current state of the territory, I thought the was better.

‘The Tower of Training can also be used by users.’

Just as Isin entered the beginner facility , most of the towers are open to users as well.

And there were a lot of users in Edgar’s estate.

This was because there were many users who had fought in several territory battles and followed the Union Guild this time.

So, right now, there were probably only a handful of territories in the Kingdom of Eton.

Thanks to you.

‘We can cover the maintenance costs just by collecting the entrance fee.’

is good for increasing the power of the territory and is not a big burden in terms of cost.

On the other hand, was a benefit that only applied to soldiers in the territory.

There weren’t enough troops to warrant expansion yet, so there was no need to build one first.

[ is scheduled to be completed in 7 days.]

[Please set the admission fee.]

“hmm.”

Isin was troubled. In fact, most of the towers are free to enter.

The purpose of building the tower in the first place was to attract users rather than making money from it.

‘But I don’t have to do that.’

There are already enough users.

Now that the Union Guild has settled there, there will likely be quite a few users who will follow them and set their area of ​​activity as the Edgar Territory.

It’s not like I’ll run away to something else just because I get some money!

Of course, if the price is too high, no users will use the tower.

The important thing is the right price… .

Arthur said.

“Wouldn’t it be better to do something similar to an exhibition hall?”

“huh?”

“It’s an exhibition hall. It’s where the art pieces we stole last time were displayed. There were a lot of people there when I went there. If we set it up similarly, wouldn’t the tower also be used?”

“… … Are there a lot of people?”

“Huh? Oh, yes. There were a lot more than I thought.”

“okay?”

Lee Shin immediately took a step forward.

* * *

When the exhibition hall first opened, the users’ response was not bad.

[The exhibition hall has been completed.]

[Adventurers who have joined the Edgar Estate Guild can now use the exhibition hall.]

“huh?”

“Exhibition hall?”

“What is that? Oh, is that the thing they were building near the castle?”

“I think so.”

It wasn’t bad news that such a facility had been built in the territory where they were active.

As the territory develops, the number of territory quests that users can participate in also increases.

And even if it wasn’t for that reason, it would be worth visiting at least once if it was a facility open to users.

“Shall we go and see?”

“now?”

“If you’re going to go, you should go now. It’d be good to get some buffs before hunting.”

“Okay, then.”

Before hunting, users headed to the exhibition hall one by one to receive buffs.

“You have to pay an entrance fee to get inside.”

“huh?”

“entrance fee?”

“If you want to use the territory facilities, you have to pay an entrance fee. The entrance fee is 9,999 gold per time.”

“What!?!??!”

“What the hell!?”

… and most of them came back angry.

It was because the admission fee was too expensive.

A whopping 10,000 gold for just one entry!

For users who honestly earned their money by hunting monsters one by one, rather than stealing other people’s money like Lee Shin, it was too much of a sum.

“No, are you crazy?”

“… … I’m not telling you to just throw everything you hunted all day over there.”

“If you do this, you won’t get the buff.”

Gossip gossip!

Public sentiment is rapidly deteriorating.

Naturally, Count Aaron’s reputation also worsened.

“No, the lord is crazy about money.”

“That’s why.”

“But wasn’t Count Aaron originally this kind of person?”

“I don’t know, that guy’s been acting strange lately. He’s starting wars, raising taxes… … .”

… … Most of the incidents mentioned were the work of Isin, but in any case, it was the Count who was dragged out by the hair.

The users didn’t know the detailed inside story of the territory.

Because of this, the Count was suffering from quite an unfair misunderstanding.

“Wow, are you crazy?!”

“The buff is no joke.”

“Right. At this point, it’s almost like having a priest?”

“… … ??”

Some users are making a fuss!

This immediately caught the attention of users who had been loitering around due to the high price.

‘……what?’

‘Is it more effective than expected?’

This was Kaka’s gambit.

Under the command of Isin to extract as much admission fee as possible, he promised a reasonable salary and called Dokgo’s guild members to have them do the trick!

The goal was to capture as much attention as possible from the beginning.

The effect was clear.

Because no one would have thought that a territory NPC would use such a trick.

‘Well, there must be a reason why it’s expensive… … .’

‘Ha, should I just go once?’

Users who are excited.

Many users who had turned away because of the high price stopped and headed to the exhibition hall.

And I was shocked.

“……huh?”

[You have appreciated the masterpiece.]

[You have appreciated the masterpiece.]

[I enjoyed the masterpiece.]

[… … ]

[… … ]

[… Appreciate dozens of masterpieces and receive beneficial buffs!]

“uh?”

“What, what is it!”

[All stats increase by 10%.]

[Increases the rate at which health and mana regeneration occurs in non-combat situations.]

[Movement speed increases by 10%.]

[Critical hit chance increased by 3%…]

[… … ]

[… … ]

[Effect lasts for one day.]

[It also disappears the moment you leave Edgar’s Countdom.]

Amazing effect!

At this, the eyes of the users who were half in doubt opened wide.

“What buff… … !”

“… Are you really crazy?!”

In fact, it was an expected result.

Isin has almost completely torn down the lord’s castle of the Duchy of Martinez, which was considered the wealthiest in the kingdom.

And then we hung everything we took from there in this exhibition hall.

What this meant was that the buffs that could only be obtained by entering the Duke’s mansion were now available to general users.

Of course, the effect is bound to be excellent.

‘this…….’

‘… … Not bad, right?’

Thanks to this, public sentiment is in turmoil.

Kaka noticed the psychology of these users and stimulated them even more.

-Discount when purchasing a 1-month pass!

-The right to borrow soldiers from the territory will be provided through a lottery to adventurers who have purchased admission tickets!

-Provides a chance to meet the lord with an extremely low probability!

Draw + Discount!

It was a rather extraordinary benefit.

In particular, the opportunity to meet the lord made users excited.

For most regular users, meeting a high-ranking noble was like trying to reach for a star in the sky.

There,

“There’s no way something like this would come out… … .”

“… … It’s up, it’s up!”

“What!?”

“!??!”

And the winner just in time!

‘……crazy.’

‘This is really coming up!?’

‘This is awesome!’

Excited users.

… … Of course, this was just something Kaka had done to make the odds of winning easier at first, but users were not aware of such details.

Because of this, most users who saw the moment of winning right next to them immediately turned their eyes away… … .

“Come out!”

“Here are the ten tickets outlined!”

“I have twenty…!”

The result was this.

“… … What, what is it?”

When he arrived near the exhibition hall, Isin muttered in surprise.

From the entrance of the exhibition hall, users were lined up in a crowded line.

Crazy crowd!

“Huh, heh heh… .”

“… … Hehe. This time, it’s going to rise!”

“Stop it, please! How many times have you been in there already!? Since you’ve been buffed, let’s go hunting now!”

“Shut up! How are you going to succeed by only hunting for a hundred days!? … … And this time, I’m definitely going to succeed!”

“… … ?”

Meanwhile, some users seemed to be acting strangely, as if they were addicted to gambling… .

‘So what?’

Lee Shin didn’t really care.

What matters is the result!

As long as I could extract as much gold as possible from the users, I didn’t care what the method was.

‘At this point, I think it would be better to leave the tower to Kaka. And keep the entrance fee similar. … … No. Should I just make the entire territory facility like this?’

A person who is blinded by money and is thinking of turning the territory into a gambling house!

If Count Aaron, who had a strong attachment to his territory, heard this, he would have been incensed…

‘… … I guess I’ll try it later. Without telling the Count.’

Unfortunately, it was only a little later that he noticed Isin’s thoughts.

* * *

“let’s go.”

There is now nothing left to see in the realm.

Lee Shin called his party together.

“Where are you going?”

“The royal road.”

“Oh, are you leaving now?”

“Uh. I have to go and meet Wick.”

“… … But who are those people?”

Jeong Yu-ra asked, pointing behind Lee Shin.

Five users standing behind Lee Shin with sullen expressions.

Lee Shin answered.

“Union Guild people.”

These were the assassin rankers that Isin had borrowed from Grania.

While I was going to the capital, I also planned to do the quest to kill nobles.

“Are you coming with us?”

“uh.”

But unlike Isin, their mood seemed quite uncomfortable.

They glared at him and muttered in displeasure.

“joy.”

“Why is Gilma like this… … .”

“We came because Gilma-nim ordered us to, but don’t expect us to follow your orders meekly!”

Rough-talking rankers.

Then, Jeong Yu-ra and Gil Ra-im came closer and said a few words to each other.

“… …Is this okay?!”

“are you okay.”

“Should I kill you?”

“Why? Okay.”

There is a more surefire way.

Isin whispered.

-hey.

-Uh, yeah?

The recipient was Grania.

After exchanging a few words like that.

“I…….”

Soon after, an immediate reaction occurred.

The rankers approached Isin timidly, having heard what Gilma had to say.

Isin clicked his chin.

“what.”

“… … .”

“Hmm, do Union Guild rankers usually not answer when people ask them questions like this? This is strange. I should ask Gilma… … .”

“… … Okay, wait a minute!!”

“Sorry!”

The rankers are startled by Lee Shin’s words and apologize!

Although it seemed like they were doing it reluctantly, this in itself was actually quite something.

Because those proud rankers bowed their heads to a user who wasn’t even on the rankings.

but.

“what?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“What are you sorry about?”

Lee Shin did not give in easily.

There was good reason for this.

‘I just need to break their spirit.’

As expected, the rankers had a strong sense of pride appropriate for their level.

Therefore, if you don’t break it clearly in advance, it could come back up again later like it did just now.

“Well, then?”

“You have to show sincerity.”

“sincerity?”

“Yeah. Seriously.”

“… … We were serious!”

“Who can’t say it with words? You have to show it with actions.”

“action……?”

What does that mean?

Looking at the rankers who were tilting their heads, Isin lightly tapped the ground with his toes twice and said.

“Try it.”

“……? what?”

“Kneel down and apologize sincerely.”

“Knees… What!?!?!?!”
