The best territory designer of all time - Episode 50
50fury. perfect completion ceremony (2)
[Special rewards are given based on monumental achievements..]
‘uh?’
Lloyd opened his eyes wide..
Completion ceremony of Mahrez reclaimed land.
It was right after all contracts were concluded with the territory residents who wanted to move to the reclaimed land..
While he was in the middle of organizing contract documents, an unexpected message appeared before his eyes..
“what's going on?”
Javiel, who was helping organize the documents next to me, asked..
It will probably look strange.
Suddenly, I was looking into space..
“never mind. Um, my eyes are a little sore..”
“If you're tired, take a little rest. I'll finish it up.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Lloyd left the rest of the documents to Javiel..
I turned to my side and pretended to massage my eyes..
Meanwhile, his eyes were reading the message that appeared before him..
[As a reward, a large amount of skill experience was obtained..]
[The level of surveying skill has increased by 2 levels..]
[Intermediate Surveying: Lv 3]
[Area that can be surveyed at once : 3,600㎡]
[Skill-specific options: ① Land price appraisal, ② Underground scanning]
[The level of design skill has increased by 2 levels..]
[Intermediate Design: Lv 3]
[Area of a structure that can be designed at once : 216,000㎥]
[Skill-only options: ① Drawing output, ② Floor plan display (2D), ③ Simulation mode]
‘Hey, what is this?.’
Even so, he was thinking about investing RP to develop his surveying and design skills. In particular, he felt this way while developing the Marez wetland..
This was because there was a feeling that it was not enough to cover a large area..
But just in time like this, it automatically raises your skill level by two levels..
‘Even RP wasn't consumed. It's completely free.’
If you like free stuff, you'll lose your head.?
Lloyd didn't believe in such things..
If it's free, you have to wake up and get it..
That was Lloyd's rule..
But the reward didn't end there..
There were more real ones left behind..
Ding dong.
[We have gained special experience designing and constructing large-scale areas..]
[That special experience had a great impact on.]
[Skill options, ② floor plan display (2D) are strengthened.]
Tsutsutsu!
The design skill option, floor plan display (2D), appeared before my eyes..
The text that displayed the option contents was erased and rewritten in real time. Content has changed.
The changes were as follows.
[Skill-specific option ②: Floor plan display (3D) - Displays the designed result as a 3D hologram structure on the desired actual terrain. (Special: Only I can see it)]
“…….”
Lloyd clenched his fist without realizing it..
This is crazy.
It was truly a crazy option..
‘This means that you can create a complete bird's eye view of the terrain in advance just by designing it..’
A 3D bird's eye view of a hologram that is almost life-like.
It meant you could see it in advance..
‘You can even edit it at any time. Moreover, if you combine this with the simulation mode, it means that you can perform construction while checking the stability of the structure in real time..’
oh my god.
No, even saying it was amazing was an understatement..
In fact, it could be said to be an option with infinite possibilities depending on its use..
‘Still, I'm not sure, so let's test it out..’
Lloyd slowly turned his head..
The other side of Javiel, who is organizing documents..
A portion of the embankment slope was quickly surveyed..
A simple hut was designed as a test in the measured space..
And the model of the designed hut was applied to the embankment slope..
Ding dong.
[Design skill-only option ②: Floor plan display (3D) is applied.]
Tsutsutsutsutsu…….
Dots and lines appeared on the embankment slope in real time..
expanded and connected.
Soon, a hut made of 3D holograms was erected..
“hey. hey.”
Lloyd reached out and tapped Javiel on the shoulder..
He pointed to the embankment slope where the holographic hut was built..
“Would you like to look over there??”
“yes?”
“Hey, is there anything??”
“There is an embankment.”
“Anything else other than that?”
“The tip of Lloyd's finger is visible in the field of view. I feel it again, but your fingers are also really ugly..”
“……I can't see anything else?”
“yes.”
“okay. it's okay.”
“What do you mean, it's done?.”
“It's because you didn't see anything.”
“…….”
Javiel tilted his head..
He looked like he had no idea what he was talking about..
Lloyd was convinced after seeing that..
‘Even though the floor plan display option has advanced to 3D, it is still only visible to me..’
In addition, there were additional small rewards..
Is it because they shoveled every day to build the embankment?.
Extended Skill: Shovel skill has risen to Beginner Level 3.
As such, stamina consumption when using a shovel has been reduced by 20%..
The shovel's movement has become 10% faster and stronger..
The probability of missing the shovel is also reduced by 30%..
That wasn't all.
‘Up to RP.’
came in large quantities.
The affinity with the Baron and his wife increased by 5 each..
Javiel went up by 3, and Lord Bayern went up by 2..
In addition, the relationship with all of Youngjimin also rose by 3..
Thanks to this, I was able to get a whopping 206 RP..
[RP you currently own : 1337]
‘If this continues, my stomach will explode, really..’
Messages announcing compensation came to mind endlessly..
All the way back to the mansion, I was busy reading the message that appeared before my eyes..
It was crazy to receive all kinds of rewards and special bonuses..
It was the same when I returned to the mansion..
No, there was an emotional reward waiting for him there that was much more vivid than the rewards in the form of messages that seemed like vague numbers..
“Master, are you here?.”
“Welcome, master..”
“If you need anything, please let me know anytime, Master..”
An administrator who acts as a deacon.
servants acting as workers.
Even the various maids who are housekeepers..
Everyone rushed to meet me and welcome me..
‘In the past, just meeting them in the hallway made them turn pale..’
Overt fear and anxiety.
Even sincere disgust.
These were people who showed all kinds of negative emotions..
But now it's so different.
attitude had completely changed.
Everyone smiled just by looking at them..
It wasn't just a smile you made when you met the master of the territory..
It was a welcoming smile that came naturally when you met someone you truly looked up to..
Honestly, I was a little dazed..
“Uh, hmm! I guess I'm a bit too attractive. Ah, hahaha.”
All I had to do was smile all the way back to the bedroom..
That was because it was the first time I had been treated like this..
‘It was like that here and also in Korea..’
It was always a joke.
I was just a poor college student.
Especially after the family fell, it was really ugly..
After my parents, who were suffering from debt, passed away, I had to live like the dregs of the bottom..
I couldn't even think of buying new clothes, so I was always dressed shabby..
I survived only on the rice and kimchi provided by the gosiwon..
As a result, my complexion was not very good..
My face was always pale.
Confidence is gone too.
His expression was dark too..
It was a time when I couldn't even dream of taking care of myself..
Of course, I wasn't very welcome wherever I went..
Even when I went to class meetings, I was secretly ostracized..
I couldn't attend the event because I had no money..
The most embarrassing moment was when I had to do a group task..
If we all went to a cafe together and had a meeting, the cost of coffee was also quite expensive..
My fingers were shaking at the fact that a cup of Americano only costs a few thousand won..
Thanks to this, I had to listen to the group members scold me for being a beggar..
It was the same outside of school.
Even when I went to a convenience store, I was often looked at with suspicion, wondering if I was a petty thief..
Every time we met, the general secretary of the gosiwon would only say with a harsh look in his eyes that he should not be pushed out of the admission fee next month..
The peak of such bottomless treatment was when I applied for a part-time job at Saengdongseong because I needed quick money..
liveliness part time job.
bioequivalence experiment.
It was a part-time job that involved conducting physiological clinical trials for a new drug being prepared for release..
I was locked in the hospital for several days, took prescribed medication, sat around in a daze, and had to have blood drawn every hour..
I felt like I was a lab animal..
‘The only person who welcomed me back then was... … Hmm, there was only the lady at Kimbab Heaven on the first floor of Gosiwon..’
Kimbab Heaven, where I was a regular and occasionally bought just a bowl of basic kimbap..
The simple greeting you hear when you enter there, ‘Welcome, bachelor,’ was the most welcoming thing in the world..
really that was it.
I never thought it was particularly sad.
That you are like a footwasher at the bottom of this society..
Once I accepted that fact, I was surprisingly able to calm down..
Instead, I tried that hard.
I tried to make a living.
I struggled not to fall behind in my studies..
So I had nosebleeds seven times a week..
Nevertheless, I lived as hard as I could, holding out a glimmer of hope that things would get better someday, that my situation would improve if I graduated safely and got my license..
I used that cramped gosiwon room as a chrysalis cocoon and rolled around in the world..
‘Well, thanks to that, it was easy to adapt when I first came here..’
A life where I was not welcomed wherever I went.
I was used to looks of disgust or disdain..
Even if those eyes were full of contempt, it was okay..
Even if you criticize this person and call him a fool,.
Even if people gossip that the truth is like a car accident squad,.
It was nothing at all.
Compared to the neglect I always received in Korea, it felt rather ticklish..
No, even if I got criticized like that, I was already happy with the fact that I didn't have to worry about eating three meals a day..
I did that…….
‘Is this what it feels like to be properly inducted?.’
There were no more hateful or dismissive looks..
There was no more contempt or gossip..
Instead, he was greeted with looks filled with respect and kindness and warm words of welcome..
It was the same at dinner with the baron and his wife..
“Come on, here. eat a lot.”
“Ah, yes.”
“I want to try some of this too?”
“Uh, yes. Muttering.”
“Why don't you eat meat like that??”
“Gulp, gulp, I'm eating right now.?”
“Still need to eat more.”
“…….”
The Baroness sat next to me throughout the meal..
Whenever I felt like my plate was empty, I called the maid..
I had them bring lots of meat, bread, fruit, and even cookies..
Anyhow, if I ate salad twice in a row, I was always nagging me to eat some meat..
‘This is going to suck.’
My stomach was already sending warning signals..
My stomach was so full that it felt like it was going to burst..
But the Baroness's meal coaching never ended..
Even the baron looking at us with a happy face from the other side was part of the gang(?).
“How much trouble has it been to lead such a large project with all your might? His face has become very pale..”
“Ugh, I didn't lose any weight at all..”
“no. I have half a face.”
“Hey, that's…….”
“Eat a little more. If the man is so bad at using a fork, what can he use it for?.”
“Ugh. I am now…….”
“Have you ever wanted to eat smoked duck meat? Well, here it is..”
“…….”
I'd rather kill you.
Lloyd wanted to cry.
But on the contrary, I laughed.
It was hard on my stomach, but my heart felt warm..
This was even more so considering the fate that the Baron suffered during this period in the novel ‘The Knight of Iron Blood.’.
‘Originally, by now... … Yes, the Baroness was lying down..’
In novels of this period.
The baron and his wife were unable to stay at the mansion..
He was kicked out of his mansion and stayed as a guest at an acquaintance's residence..
Embarrassed to just stay, the Baroness rolled up her sleeves..
I tried to pay for food by cleaning the house and doing the dishes myself..
But the Baroness was someone who had never done anything difficult in her life..
Moreover, even acquaintances who initially appreciated the Baroness's work gradually came to take the work she did for granted..
So I took on more work..
From midsummer to fall.
The Baroness becomes ill after suffering excessively from unfamiliar housework and stress..
It was tuberculosis.
I coughed blood every night..
Tears soaked into the musty, damp blanket..
Although death was avoided, there was no suffering like that..
In the end, even the baron who was taking care of his wife contracted tuberculosis..
The couple, who fell into such disappointment and despair, eventually secretly returns to the mansion..
He commits suicide in this once cozy home..
Right here, in this place where everyone is eating together.
‘I'm glad it didn't happen that way.’
Lloyd thought.
It's been about half a year since I came here.
I'm glad I spent my time working hard..
I am so relieved that misfortune like in the novel did not strike this family..
As I looked at the Baron and his wife, I was able to smile a little more comfortably..
“It's a bit strange because I'm the only one who keeps eating like this. You two, please have some too..”
“no. We've already had enough.”
“Is the food not to your liking??”
“No, that's not it.…….”
“Hehehe. As expected, I wanted to eat pork. That's what a man should do. Well, here it is. Lift as much as you want.”
“Ho ho ho. Why not try some of the freshly grilled steaks here??”
“…….”
Cancel saying I feel comfortable.
That day, Lloyd had to go to the bathroom all night, clutching his bloated stomach from overeating..
♣
The next morning dawned.
“……Ugh.”
Lloyd got out of bed holding his throbbing head..
My body was as heavy as a thousand pounds..
‘I'm like this because I can't sleep properly.’
I had an upset stomach all night..
Thanks to this, I had to go to the bathroom several times..
Of course, I couldn't sleep properly and was tossing and turning..
‘Of course, I can't just sit around like this. Tskcha!’
The Marez clearing has only just taken its first steps..
There was a need to hasten the development and designation of parcels prior to the migration of farmers..
Transportation routes with the mainland territory also had to be maintained..
In other words, there was still a mountain of work left to do..
“Hey, wake up.”
Lloyd, who got up first and got dressed, tapped Javiel on the shoulder..
Since starting the lullaby service, I felt like the morning alarm role had somehow become my own and I smiled bitterly..
“Mmm…….”
Javiel frowned and opened his eyes..
Lloyd's bitter smile deepened..
“Now he doesn't even wake up until I wake him up.?”
“Umm, sorry..”
“it's okay. wake up. Because I have a lot to do today too.”
“All right.”
Javiel stood up with a start..
But that expression was somehow unusual..
Lloyd tilted his head..
“hey?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“what's wrong with you?”
“doesn't exist.”
“But why do you keep frowning like that??”
“Oh, sorry. For some reason, my head hurts so much that I have to stop.”
“what? you also?”
“yes. By any chance, Lloyd?”
“uh. I'm also having a bit of a headache since morning..”
“……Let’s eat first..”
Due to a strange coincidence, the two shared a bitter smile..
But a little while later, when the maid came into the bedroom with breakfast,.
The two could no longer smile bitterly..
“hey? Why do you look like that again??”
“I'm sorry, master. For some reason, the headache has been so bad since this morning that I stopped before I knew it.…….”
“…….”
The frowning maid responded with a startled look..
Lloyd and Javiel's expressions hardened at that somewhat unusual answer..
