Chapter 107 – Foundation (2)

Base (2)

Inside the car, the chatter that was much more friendly than expected was cut off for a moment.

Among the blurry landscapes on the car window, I lowered the window to a particularly hideous sight.

“Wait for a sec.”

Yoo Seo-joon gently steps on the brakes immediately after a short command.

The collapsing art college was captured in the field of vision that had stopped for a moment.

The exterior of the building and the land around it were horribly broken and cracked by Nam Do-yoon’s psychokinesis.

In particular, as soon as I looked at the central clearing where small craters spread like a spider web, a vivid memory popped into my head not even a few days ago.

“… Chu, Chungseo uh uh!”

Loud shouts that awakened the memory of the battle for the capital.

Recognizing the luxury sedan quietly gazing at the vacant lot of Yedae, the camp members hurriedly straightened their backs.

The camp members are in charge of repairing the land and buildings that have been torn apart as if there was an earthquake as much as possible.

Beyond the campers who hurriedly moved the shovel to the other hand and saluted, and the campers who looked at the vehicle with an unsteady attitude, a camper hit the head of a camper who was still leveling the ground with a shovel.

Fast-!

With the sound of hitting that could be clearly heard from a little distance away, Camp One lifted his head in surprise.

A camper who whispers something with a reddened face, and a camper who turns his head this way, frightened by the camper’s whisper.

“Piiils eugh-!”

It was the salutes of each of the camp members who could tell where they had served in the military.

After reconfirming that all the work campers were alert, the camper in the center started running with a sedan.

I checked the face of the camper who was sprinting with an urgent face, burst into a small smile and waved my hand.

Kim Min-joon hurriedly stops running at the wave of his hand outside the car window.

Now, they were two people who were fulfilling their responsibilities as middle managers quite skillfully.

Min-Jun Kim would be managing the maintenance work here, and Woo-Jin Park would be waiting for us at the College of Agriculture, the first destination of the inspection.

“Let’s go.”
“Yes, President.”

I closed the car window after sending a gesture to go back with a light smile.

Now, the luxury sedan rolls its wheels again toward the agricultural college, which is not too far away.

Looking at Min-Jun Kim, who bowed his head with a loud greeting toward the luxury sedan that was moving away, he gazed at the College of Arts beyond.

About 10 work campers who are still immobilized.

Obviously, the amount of work that I and Linnea worked roughly for an hour would be far greater than the amount of work that 10 people worked diligently for a week.

However, I can’t just make fun of the camp members, so I’m putting them in the work they can do, but that doesn’t mean it’s efficient.

A wall called a person with special abilities that ordinary civilians can never overcome no matter how hard and sincere they are.

The gap that could not be crossed became very clear.

The same is true of the College of Agriculture, which was chosen as the first subject of inspection.

A variable called food that you don’t know when and under what circumstances.

Preparing for self-sufficiency in order to maintain the largest axis that enables survival was a necessity, not an option.

The most important thing to prepare for such self-sufficiency in advance was the activation of primary industries such as agriculture, livestock, and fishery.

Among them, preparing for farming that is easy to access is the most important, so the first inspection will be agricultural science.

It was a self-evident fact that the efficiency of farming prepared with such great care would be overpowered by a single person with suitable abilities rather than hundreds of farmers.

Of course, if even such a useful person with superpowers was suddenly searched for, everything would be over, but it was the same thing if the farmers were also searched for.

However, to be honest, it is not so easy to talk about finding and recruiting a person with such farming-related abilities.

On the other hand, farmers can be nurtured at least, so it would be right to train farmers from now on and prepare for self-sufficiency.

Of course, it doesn’t change that if you get a person with the relevant ability, the job becomes easier because it’s not easy.

Talented person.

I stared out the car window, repeating the pillar that was more gigantic than any other axis of the new social upkeep.

Arriving at the College of Agriculture, the vehicle slowly slows down, and the campers waiting for me with tense faces.

As I was looking at Park Woo-jin, who was licking his dry lips while looking at the luxury sedan, Koh Goh, who hurriedly opened the door and got off, opened the car door.

“Thank you so much for visiting the College of Agriculture, President!”

Park Woo-jin’s greeting came as soon as he stepped onto the ground through the open car door.

“It is an honor to take on the important role of guiding you to the College of Agriculture, President!”

Park Woo-jin, who responded with a broader smile to my light smile, raised his voice again.

After I got out of the vehicle, Linnea and Koh Koh Hoon quietly lined up on either side of me.

“Then—I’ll take you inside, President!”

He shook his head at Park Woo-jin, who spread his hands wide and slightly bent his waist, pointing to the inside of the agricultural department.

“First of all, the two of you go in first and start checking.”

Inspection of the entire College of Agriculture, with all of the original Agricultural College camp members removed, reconfirmation of the land to be used for farming, reconfirmation of the plastic greenhouse originally used for club activities, etc.

There was a more important inspection to me than the heap of inspection distances.

Lynnea tilts her head at the instructions she spits out clearly, and Koh Goh, who immediately nods.

“Yes, I understand, President-!”

Park Woo-jin, who readily understood my instructions, smiled broadly and guided Goh Jang-hun into the agricultural college.

“It’s Deokgu.”

Among the campers who follow them together, the camper who shudders greatly at my call.

It was only then that Linnea, who had a rough face at my name, began to follow Goh Koh and Park Woojin.

“I’ll be going soon.”
“…”

Rinnea nodded with a slightly awkward smile, similar to the first one.

I shouted at her back while maintaining her bright smile towards her.

“Keep a close eye on yourself, eunuch!”
“Yep-! Trust me, president hehe!”

Park Woo-jin and Koh Goh-hoon hurriedly turned and bent at my shouting.

I rumbled – looked at the campers returning to the lobby, then waved my hand.

Jang Deok-gu, who had been fixed as if nailed to his place by my gestures, ran to me in a huff.

Took-!

I walked forward, putting a shoulder strap on Jang Deok-gu, who ran to me without saying a word.

Tuck – tuck –

An unexpected walk with Jang Deok-gu under the bright sunlight.

I turned my head to Jang Deok-gu, who stood frozen and followed his steps.

“Is it worth living, Deokgu?”
“Yes-! Great—yes, yep—! Thanks to the president’s grace, I’m doing very well right now-“
“No, I wonder if the queen bee you brought is living well, bastard.”

Jang Deok-gu, who had been trimming his throat in a low tone, pulled it straight like a turtle and looked at me.

“Yes, yep! As I reported back then, I definitely tamed a colony of beehives at the risk of my life!”

When he nodded his head in a fairly satisfactory answer, Jang Deok-gu, who was only looking at me, put an awkward smile on his lips.

Shortly thereafter, Deokgu Jang quickly withdrew his smile from his lips and slurped his neck.

“… You’ve tamed the queen bee and her colony, but you’ve tamed- oh, we still have problems, sir!”
“…”
“Geez- to collect honey, uh- I noticed that you need not only a queen bee, but also a beehive- a sieve and a little bit of tools like this-“
“It’s Deokgu.”

Took-!

The walk around the agricultural college was interrupted for a moment.

I cut off Jang Deok-gu’s muttering and looked down at his eyes.

“I didn’t save you because I wanted to pay attention to such trivial matters, Deokgu.”
“…”
“Did you bury Doyoon and Junki well?”

Jang Deok-gu’s body shook greatly at the low question.

The body that started to tremble and the eyes that rolled degururuly while watching me without rest.

Deokgu Jang, who had been staring at me as I quietly waited for an answer, slowly opened his stuttering lips.

“… Yes, President.”
“I told you to go with the Agricultural College students if you think it will be really difficult. Did you do it together?”
“Yes—go, we did it together, President.”
“Okay?”

I nodded at Deokgu Jang’s answer and took another step forward.

Tuck – tuck –

A light walk around the agricultural college that has resumed again.

“We didn’t bump into each other or fight while burying the body, did we? I remember they weren’t very good friends.”
“No- just- we just buried the bodies together without saying anything to each other.”
“Where?”
“There—in the hill behind the College of Agriculture…”
“Aha. Deep?”
“Yes, yes— deep. The post-processing was also completely neat.”
“Good job.”

I shook my head and asked him again.

“So how did you see it?”
“… Yes?”
“No- Agricultural Science Campus. What kind of expression were they making when they buried their older brothers, Deokgu?”

Tuck – tuck –

In the following steps, Deok-gu Jang moved along and swayed his neck without a break.

“… That, I just remember being expressionless, President.”
“Something like crying—wasn’t there a bastard who frowned and regretted it?”
“None.”
“Okay? So, even to you who were nearby, you definitely seemed to be on our side?”
“… Yes.”

The parched lips that poured out a short affirmation spoke to me first this time.

“Yeah, but I think I overheard something else, President.”
“What?”
“Yeah- after the deaths of Nam Do-yoon and Seong Joon-gi, the female survivors who were in the agricultural department went crazy and shouted that they were traitors whenever they met– I think I heard the whispers between them.”

… Betrayer.

Jang Deok-gu, who looked at the faint smile I gave as he recited the word, continued.

“I also heard that the female survivors who were in the agricultural department were very openly dissatisfied! I heard that even if the president keeps moving floors and separating them, they will stick together and try not to fall!”

At the gesture of listening to his story, Jang Deok-gu raised his eyes wider and shouted.

“The president asked me to choose one person as a merit reward, but honestly, I didn’t know if it was possible – I was at a loss as to which one to choose between the bitches with life in their eyes and the bitches who looked at themselves like trash.”
“Okay?”
“Yep-! Oh, you still have a lot of work to do, but I thought you might as well take action against them in advance— I said something a little presumptuous, President.”

Deokgu Jang wags his tail without looking back as soon as he gives him a chance.

As soon as he finished speaking, I smiled and asked again.

“… Action?”

Jang Deok-gu, who hurriedly made a cunning laugh, covered his mouth and continued to speak.

“Do you see me as Nam Do-yoon, Deok-gu?”
“…”
“After all, you think about the welfare of the bitches who are prisoners of the enemy country?”

It’s deokgu

I tapped him on the shoulder and called his name.

“Why am I collecting only the female survivors from the agricultural department and continuing to move floors?”

In less than a day, female camp members are forced to move from the 6th floor to the 2nd floor.

Enemy prisoners of war band together with hostility that cannot be hidden in their eyes.

“I’m showing all my campers by saying hello. No matter what they do, they don’t do anything helpful to the camp and just try to eat like they did at the agricultural college.”
“…”
“Because I was hurt by the brilliant achievements of my baby like Deok -gu -I always understand and take care of my loved ones who have always understood and took care of me.”

Do you know what the next plan is?

At the quiet question, Jang Deok-gu kept her mouth shut and shook her head gently.

“If you quietly follow the names of the converts, nothing special will happen. But again, if you just want to be punished like in the agricultural college, I will choose the year that rebels the most.”

And a notice to the campers.

“The female camp member has a high probability of harming the camp with impulsive or violent behavior due to unstable mental problems. So ― I will move her residence to a place where only that female Camp One can take special care.”

Then – what will the camp members who saw the announcement think?

“Some of the campers will think it’s very bizarre. College of Humanities, Student Center, etc. There are many camp members here who contribute to the camp even with scars similar to hers.”

“Some campers will understand and sympathize with her.”

“Also, some of the campers are probably suspicious and suspicious. Because one person suddenly disappeared in the morning.”

And I don’t care what the reaction is.

In the end, what all campers learn is—

“I don’t know where the special management center she went to is and I can’t go even if I want to.”

Those female campers evaporated from the camp overnight and no one could see them.

“What will these bitches think when they’ll never see that female camp member again?”

And-

“It’s starting to point out the converts again.”

“If it doesn’t happen once, more and more female camp members will continue to move their residence to the special management center until they understand. The number of female camp members who have moved their residence to the special management center increases and the moment they realize that they will never see them again—they are bound to obey the designation unconditionally.”

Any order would be better than the worst ending he could imagine, the Special Management Center.

“You have to see someone’s misfortune with your own two eyes, but you’ll appreciate your own luck.”

It’s deokgu

Took-!

I quietly whispered and stopped walking around the agricultural college.

Jang Deok-gu, who had been listening to me with very large eyes, slowly rolled his eyes.

“Here, Deokgu, there is one thing that is most important to you.”

I looked at him and smiled lightly.

“Then, how should we use the female camp members who disappeared to the special management center?”
“…”
“What use would it be for female campers who had to disappear from the camp forever?”

Compensation?

I asked Deokgu Jang in a very low voice.

… Gulp.

Jang Deok-gu snaps his throat with a very loud voice.

I looked down at Jang Deok-gu’s twinkling eyes and chanted quietly.

“For now, let’s start by saving you.”

Kkeudeuk-!

His eyes start to glow with different emotions as he grabs his shoulder tightly.

“You don’t have to contribute to the camp to be rewarded, you bastard Deokgu.”
“…ぅ-!”
“So, whether it’s beehives or harvesting, get rid of all the fucking excuses and bring the honey in front of me somehow.”
“… Kkeuh-!”
“If you haven’t killed him yet, you shouldn’t have to make him feel worthwhile, bastard.”
“… Eh, that’s right, President-!”

The guy’s answer came out properly only after he let go of his hand holding his shoulder.

I looked at his shoulder, which continued to spasm even after my hand was freed, then loosened his shoulder strap and pushed him lightly.

“Go away. Even if you start right now, it won’t take a year to collect honey.”

Jang Deok-gu, who struggles as if dancing at my push, manages to balance himself.

He turned his head to me with a cold sweat on his face.

“Start quickly.”
“… Yes, yes—yes, sir—!”

Jang Deok-gu runs to the agricultural college, shouting at the top of his voice.

Tring-!

[‘Jang Deok-gu’ is ‘very strongly’ and ‘submits’ to you.]
[Obedience factor: ‘very strong’ trust in promises, ‘very strong’ support for survival… ]

A status window message displayed in the air following the back of the creature.

“… He’s crazy about real women.”

Even though I threw rice cake lightly, I had no choice but to stick my tongue out at the obedience level that rose exponentially.

Talented person.

I recalled the thoughts I had in the car and repeated the new axis of maintaining society.

Talent management.

In that respect, it is very tiring and troublesome, but it is an essential virtue for all rulers.

I laughed at the thought of Jang Deok-gu, who seemed to be working even harder than Cha Ha-yan.

That’s why this common authority was created.

Tring-!

[Common Authority]

[Royal Blood]
[The bestowal of nobility is the greatest reward a king can give.]

[Possessed Quantity: 0]

[Tip: To find nobility, take it away or find a special place!]

It was written in just one line without much explanation – the authority of ‘Royal Blood’.

But with just that one line of metaphor, I knew what this power meant.

Nobility.

The nobility of this era is probably more likely to be this ability.

Granting this ability is the greatest reward a king can give.

In other words, it was clear that it was the common authority of the rulers who made someone a person with a special ability.

So many faces that pass through my head just with this thought.

Goh Koh, Tae-ha, Seol-hee Cha, etc.

Priorities were already established in my head, even though I hadn’t yet had a bloody battle with the very blatant metaphor of appointing those I trusted the most as the most useful subjects.

Gorgeous features that come to mind when thinking of the first between Koh Goh and Tae-ha Park.

A blank smile appeared on Cha Seol-hee’s face, who had just emerged among the men.

I don’t know what kind of abilities will be bestowed, but it would be best to give it to a man who has a high probability of getting used to games and battles.

Even if you give Cha Seol-hee royal blood—

She is, after all, her wife, escort driver, and executive–

“… Uh?”

The soft laugh that had been continuing lightly was interrupted, and a somewhat stupid single sound came out.

What-

So, after Cha Seol-hee, Cha Ha-yan is next, and what other celebrities are next?

What a corps of celebrity executives—

“… Uh.”

Once again, the flowing thoughts were cut off.

I slowly narrowed my eyes and stared at Kwon Neungchang again.

“… This.”

… Isn’t that bad?
