World Domination through Planet Development - Chapter 4



Only Noblemtl

Episode 4. Could it be that I have become a god…?

Jungwoo woke up long after lunch the next day.

Jungwoo checked the time on his smartphone and only then realized that he had overslept.

“Ah… Is it because I slept too late last night?”

Although I tried to respond indifferently, my true feelings were different.

Anticipation, anxiety

Maybe it was the psychological impact that made me fall asleep late.

After experiencing something like that last night, it’s hard to calm down easily.

It’s something that’s too difficult for an ordinary person like me to handle.

It was like a dream.

“Could it be that everything that happened yesterday was a dream…?”

[Of course not.]

Oh, right. No.

Sarah’s voice in my head made me wake up to reality once again.

Jeong-woo, who got up roughly and came out of the room, first examined the hole in the floor.

The hole Sarah had dug through remained.

Sook-

Stick your finger into the hole and take it out.

“It wasn’t a dream after all.”

[I clearly said no.]

“Ahem! I just took a quick look to check.”

You never know, right?

You might lose your mind and hear strange voices in your head. That kind of thing.

[I think it would be best not to fill that hole. If you are not careful, you might end up voluntarily going to a mental hospital. I will leave it as a medium to always remind you.]

“No. I’m just checking. By the way, how’s the construction going?”

Jungwoo naturally changed the subject.

[I’ll show you a detailed map.]

As Sarah spoke, a three-dimensional map identical to the plan he had seen yesterday was drawn in Jungwoo’s head.

“It’s exactly like the blueprint. This huge building was built overnight?”

Let’s take a look. At this scale, it’s probably about the size of Yeouido, which they always talk about on the news.

[To be exact, it wasn’t built. The original form you saw was a compressed form, and the current form is a fully operational form. Therefore, it has to be faster than building a new one.]

Oh, so that means unpacking? I understand correctly.

“Really? It’s not that it was made, but it’s that its body got bigger that’s more surprising. … Wait a minute. But if you dug the hole this wide, where did all the leftovers go?”

It is common sense that when you dig the ground, you have to scoop out the dirt and carry it away.

Even if you scoop it out, where on earth did all that dirt go?

[The residue is currently stored in the internal space and is scheduled to be discharged into the sea.]

You dug up the inside of the cave and found the remains inside? What kind of subspace is this?

Well, if your body can expand hundreds of thousands of times, there could be something like subspace.

I was convinced surprisingly quickly.

“Okay. So what can I do now?”

[As I said, you must first collect resources to receive the desired convenience services. There are currently a total of 5 resource deposits on this planet.]

“Only five? That’s quite a few, I thought.”

One of them is our Korean Peninsula.

Should I consider it fortunate for me?

[You should only need 5 resources to completely conquer a planet where your civilization is established. If you don’t have enough, you can develop outer space to gain more resources, depending on your decisions.]

When you say outer space, you’re just talking about space, right?

[Yes, this includes your current home solar system and the surrounding star systems.]

The scale is huge… .

“Still, that does sound appealing.”

[As you know, the nearest resource reserve is under the Korean Peninsula. It is currently under development as it was included in the construction plan approval. Since it is a plan that has already been approved by the user, you can use the initial supply points.]

“Initial supply point?”

The construction plan that was input into my head was very detailed, but it did not contain any point-related information.

[Yes. These are the points you receive when you start a resource development plan. You will receive 100 points per resource acquisition site, and after that, as resources are developed and full-scale acquisition begins, a certain number of points will continue to be paid out over time. The expiration date is until the resources are depleted.]

“When a resource is depleted, does that mean you can no longer get points from that resource deposit?”

[That’s right. You should consider that the points you can get from one resource deposit are limited.]

“What happens if we can no longer supply resources?”

[In such a case, you will have to use up the points you currently have. If all of the points you have are used up, all services provided will be immediately recalled and discontinued. Of course, this is an exception in the early development stage.]

“Uh… That’s a bit scary. If you run out of resources, you’ll have to survive with the points you earned first, is that it?”

[Don’t worry. If you actively develop your outer space, you can accumulate enough points to last tens of thousands of years.]

Tens of thousands of years…?

Do I need points that will last tens of thousands of years?

[The services provided allow you to theoretically live an infinite life.]

“Wow… that’s even scarier. Can a person live for tens of thousands of years?”

[Of course, it depends, but it is quite possible.]

Living infinite life?

Could it be that I have really become a god…?
