Chapter 20: Barrack Construction (4)

[Through the Aura of Earth, you can confront powerful physical attacks from the enemy . It will exert a more powerful strength as your level rises…]

[Aura of Earth skill has been acquired . ]

[Aura of Earth (Active)]

-Additional earth property damage will be added to all attacks .

-Physical defense has increased significantly .

-Consumes 5 black magic energy .

-Duration is one minute

-Wind, fire, water and earth can’t be used simultaneously .

5 black magic energy will be consumed to use this skill to increase physical attack and defense for one minute .

‘A skill specialized in defense rather than offense . ’

He didn’t know how much his defense and attack would increase but it was still his first skill .

‘But what is this bead? I think it was called Essence of Earth?’

Kang-jun picked up the big brown bead inside the box . There was a description the moment he picked it up .

[Essence of Earth]

-Rating: Rare

-One of the four elements, earth has been condensed into a bead and can be used as building materials or summoning monsters .

The bead in Kang-jun’s hands disappeared . In addition, the blue coins in the box also disappeared as Kang-jun touched them .

At the same time, a new window appeared in front of Kang-jun .

[Resource Status]

Money – 167 nodes

Essence of Earth – 1

This was the amount of property Kang-jun currently owned . Of course, this property was only in Hwanmong .

Susususu .

Then the black cloud shifted and the dungeon faded away .

[You can build a barrack in Room 413 . ]

[Resource required is 100 nodes . ]

[Would you like to build a barrack? Yes/No]

Finally, he could construct a barrack . He could accomplish Mission 3 .

‘Yes! Construct the barrack . ’

A brilliant light shone in the room the moment Kang-jun gave the command .

[Stage 1 barrack construction . ]

[Degree of Completion: 0%]

Just like the base, a little bit of time was needed to complete the barrack .

[Stage 1 barrack construction: 10%]

Fortunately, the construction of the barrack was very fast compared to the base . He only waited a few moments .

[A barrack was built in Room 413 . ]

The cramped area of Room 413 expanded and it looked just like an army barrack .

‘This is a barrack . ’

He finally achieved Mission 3 .

Sure enough .

[Mission 3 has been accomplished . ]

[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]

His level rose . His health recovered and the black magic energy capacity also rose .

‘My muscles have hardened . ’

There was a clear difference . The rise of strength and agility! Thanks to that, his body felt much lighter and stronger . Kang-jun gave a satisfied smile as he felt his body becoming stronger .

In addition, his head also felt clearer . It was thanks to a rise in intelligence . In the future, it would be useful when studying or reading a book . He would have to try it out at least once .

In the meantime, a new message appeared .

[Now that a base and barrack have been built, you can earnestly participate in a full-scale war . ]

[Gather troops to scout . ]

[Everybody else besides you will be the enemy . ]

[Remove all threats that you see . ]

[Your army will become more powerful through invasion and plunder . ]

Kang-jun was surprised .

‘Full-scale war?’

Furthermore, everybody except for himself were enemies!

Invasion and plunder?

A new message appeared while he was having doubts .

Mission 4

-Occupy the Dafeng building .

-Compensation: Experience, 200 nodes and 3 Essence of Earth .

What was this?

Occupy the Dafeng building .

‘The Dafeng building is this one . ’

That’s right . Dafeng was the name of the building containing the goshiwon . The goshiwon was on the 4th floor, the 3rd floor had the PC Room, the 2nd floor was a coffee shop and karaoke, 1st floor was the real estate office, while the basement contained a karaoke bar .

The mission given was for him to occupy the Dafeng building .

‘How do I occupy it?’

Was it simply through scouting? Or did he need to use money to purchase it in reality?

The latter option wasn’t simple .

The building was old but it was still in Gangnam . It was in Shinsadong, the administrative area of Gangnam . He could go to the real estate office but he already knew the market price of the building would be huge .

‘Crazy! Surely the mission doesn’t require buying this building . ’

[This area doesn’t belong to you in reality so you can capture it through invasion . ]

‘Such a thing is possible?’

Kang-jun finally understood the contents of the mission .

In other words, the mission didn’t require purchasing the building with money in reality . It was a mission that required occupying Dafeng through force in Hwanmong .

If so, there was no need to hesitate . There might be tough enemies hiding .

‘I need to produce some troops . ’

Kang-jun looked directly at Room 413 .

[You can summon monsters you’ve obtained knowledge about in the barrack . ]

[Available to Summon]

-Ratians

-Giant ratians

-Ratigers

Kang-jun had gained knowledge about three types of creatures so he could summon them . It was possible to summon the boss monster ratigers!

The stage 1 barrack had a capacity for 10 troops . Of course, it wasn’t free . Resources such as nodes and the Essence of Earth were required .

Ratian infantry

Resources: 10 nodes

Ratian archers

Resources: 10 nodes

Giant ratians

Resources: 20 nodes

-1 charisma is required to summon

Ratigers

Resources: 100 nodes, 1 Essence of Earth

-3 charisma is required to summon

In the case of certain monsters, summoning was impossible if his charisma was too low .

Fortunately, Kang-jun had eight charisma . He did well by rolling the dice again to increase charisma during the reconstruction of his body .

Currently he had 67 nodes .

Kang-jun summoned two ratian infantry, two ratian archers and one giant ratian .
