NOVEL NEXT chapter 39
Reasons for being a villain
*Lee Tae-soo Lv 1
[Occupation]: Doctor (general)
[Skill]: Heal (General)
[ability level]
Strength: 1.2 Agility 1.1 Stamina 0.8
[Alignment]: Evil 2nd level.
Level 2 means killing at least 5 people.
“Why did you kill someone?”
I directly asked the doctor.
“yes? What do you mean?”
The system doesn’t lie.
Obviously, when helping people at the gym, Lee Tae-soo was a normal person, and he didn’t show any inclination.
However, if an evil person is attached to him while awakening, it means that he has killed a person.
“Lee Soo-ho, did anyone die during treatment?”
Ignoring the panicked doctor, I asked Lee Soo-ho.
“Come to think of it, five people died.”
“Lee Soo-ho, didn’t the doctor say yesterday that no one is in critical condition as long as they have antibiotics?”
“Yes, it was.”
Many people had their blood drawn at the gym, but they were only for blood sampling, so there was not enough blood, but there was no danger to life.
“Yesterday, there was no equipment that could accurately diagnose, and when I came back to the fort and looked at people again, there were many people infected with germs. I tried antibiotics, but they didn’t work…”
If I make an excuse like that, I, who have no medical knowledge, will have no way to prove that the doctor killed a person.
“Where do people get treatment?”
“We are currently using a shopping mall as a substitute for a hospital.”
Suho Lee said.
“Then let’s go there.”
The Villain Quest begins when you kill ten people. If so, if you look at the patient’s condition, you will surely find something strange.
They all moved together to the commercial building.
On the first floor, only people receiving treatment for simple wounds were seen on temporary hospital beds, and no one had any special problems.
“Is this the answer?”
“No, there are more on the second floor.”
The doctor spoke and took the lead.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw two people lying in a hospital bed.
＜Hypnosis＞
*Lim Hoseong Lv 1
[Occupation]: Farmer (general)
[Skill]: Crop management (general)
[ability level]
-Muscle: 0.8 Agility: 1.1 Stamina 0.3.
[situation]:
– Potassium cyanide overdose.
The other patient also had an overdose of potassium cyanide.
“What is this?”
I pointed to the fluid connected to the patient’s arm.
“Glucose.”
“Are you sure?”
When I asked again, the doctor opened his mouth with an awkward expression.
“I am sure.”
“Then what is potassium cyanide?”
The doctor, taken aback by my question, hesitantly opened his mouth.
“ah···. It is cyanide.”
“I will ask you again. Doctor, is that fluid glucose?”
“No, you said that. Why the hell do you keep asking me!”
The doctor became nervous at my repeated question.
“Then it doesn’t matter if I inject it into the teacher’s arm.”
“yes?”
I removed the needle from the patient’s arm and placed it on the doctor’s arm, and he pushed me away.
“Are you crazy! Why do you want to put that on me! Lee Soo-ho, are you going to stay still? I think he’s crazy.”
Lee Soo-ho did not show any reaction to the doctor’s words and stood there in silence.
“why? Because it’s glucose. Then it doesn’t matter if I put it on the teacher’s arm, right?”
“No, how do I pierce myself with a needle that pierced someone else’s body?”
“Then it wouldn’t matter if it was a new needle.”
“Lee Suho, please bring me one clean needle from below.”
“All right. Mayor.”
Suho Lee went down and brought a new needle to connect to the sap.
“Why are you two doing this to me! What did I do wrong!”
When Suho Lee pulled out the needle he had brought and connected it to the IV, the doctor stepped back in embarrassment.
“Lee Soo-ho, please catch the doctor.”
“Yes, Mayor.”
Even though it was obviously an excessive demand, Lee Su-ho grabbed the doctor’s body without asking any questions.
When he tried to insert a needle connected to the fluid into the doctor’s arm, the doctor collapsed on the floor.
“I-I killed it. So stop.”
The doctor confessed, holding his head with both hands.
“why? Now, if you can stay here safely, why would you kill someone?”
The doctor, who had been sighing for a while, reluctantly opened his mouth, perhaps because he was guilty of killing someone or because he felt unfair about being caught.
“I heard that becoming a villain heals all diseases. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Because once you become a vampire, all diseases disappear and you don’t age.
“So it was. I have terminal lung cancer.”
The doctor sighs again.
“Honestly, I just wanted to die. The world has become like this and I was wondering what I should do to live more. By the way, I met my divorced wife here. The woman said so. Please save your husband.”
The doctor’s voice was full of anger.
“So I killed the wife’s new husband who came in as a patient. I just couldn’t stand it. Then a message popped up. If you become a villain, all diseases are cured. So it was.”
The desperate doctor finished.
Honestly, it’s not that I don’t understand, but villains can’t coexist with humanity.
‘The same goes for those who want to become villains.’
He pulled out his gun and shot the doctor before he could react.
bang!
The doctor’s body fell helplessly to the floor.
“I will sort it out.”
“Please.”
Lee Soo-ho started to organize the situation without asking me anything.
I just killed someone…
I don’t feel any guilt.
He’s supposed to be a villain, but he’s definitely a human.
‘Will I become a monster at this rate?’
Anxiety crept in, but it was unavoidable, so I consoled myself.
If I had tried to solve it in a democratic way, other people would have heard the benefits of the villain now appearing in front of me through the doctor.
[The villain scenario has arrived.]
*First villain scenario.
[Rating]: Rare.
[Classification]: Main.
[Content]: Eliminate the mankind that is destroying the earth.
[Purpose]: To kill people.
[compensation]:
-10: Normal grade vampires.
-30: High-grade vampires.
-150: Rare grade vampires.
-1,500 people: Hero grade Villain option.
[Basic Reward]: Heal all diseases, immortality.
People who want to become villains will line up just because all diseases are cured and they don’t age.
Unlike other scenarios, the Villain scenario had accept and reject buttons at the bottom.
After pressing the reject button, Suho Lee’s colleague came up and collected the body and went outside.
“Mayor. Does becoming a villain really cure all diseases?”
I nodded at Suho Lee’s question.
“It’s a big deal.”
“Yes, I think it would be best to hide this fact for the time being.”
“yes. Let’s do that. And there is one more person I have considered as a candidate for the head of the research institute. Where should I bring him?”
Seeing Lee Soo-ho, who was only doing what he had to do, even though a person was shot dead in front of his eyes, I felt that he was a person with a lot of experience in this kind of work.
“I’ll see you at City Hall.”
“Yes, Mayor.”
As I was walking towards City Hall, Harin Yu approached me.
“What happened? I heard gunshots.”
“No big deal. It looks like an acquaintance.”
Turning the subject of conversation, he pointed to an elderly couple holding Ha-jin.
“You are the owner of a lumber business. Oh, by the way, can I buy a private house with achievement points?”
The smile on Yuharin’s face did not disappear throughout the conversation.
“Yes, and in 30 minutes I’ll go get the things I need for the workshop, so see you at the plaza.”
“yes. Mr. Kang Joon.”
After breaking up with Harin Yoo, she entered City Hall and opened the market menu.
[Internal Affairs] [Appointment] [Expulsion] [Fortress Information] [Call]
The word was the mayor, but the authority was no different from that of a lord in the Middle Ages. I can banish people and appoint officials to my liking.
When I pressed the Fortress Information button, the number of people, the number of buildings, and even the amount of money I owned were all displayed.
When you press the Internal Settlement button, you can set the amount of tax for commercial transactions, facility use, and fort use.
The default is 10%, of which 8% was used for the cost of maintaining the fortress, so I couldn’t touch it, and the rest was stored in the safe in City Hall and I could use it at will.
Check the currently stored coins
[Stored coins: 3,632]
Added Chief of Staff to access rights.
If this is the case, Aleo will take care of himself and adjust well with Suho Lee.
smart!
Looks like Lee Soo-ho has arrived.
“Come on in.”
Lee Soo-ho brought a woman into the room.
“Nice to meet you. This is Seo Kang-joon.”
Greet the woman and check the information.
*Park Haeyeon Lv 1
[Job]: Researcher (General)
[Skill]: Military Research (General)
-10% reduction in research expenses.
-Increased research speed by 10%.
[ability level]
Strength: 1.2 Agility 1.1 Stamina 0.8
Fortunately, he wasn’t the bad guy.
“I am also pleased to meet you. Seo Kang-joon Mr. Should I call you Mayor?”
“You can call me whatever you like.”
“Then I’ll call you Mayor too. I think that would be convenient.”
“Yes, yes.”
It’s a bit awkward, but I don’t think the title of mayor is bad enough to keep a reasonable distance.
“First of all, thank you for saving us once again on behalf of others.”
“I just did what I had to do. wait a minute.”
[The research director has been appointed.]
[Research speed increased by 10%.]
“I will work hard. Mayor.”
“Okay, then let’s go to the lab.”
We all go to the lab together.
The entrance to the building was locked.
The only ones who could open the locked door were me and the research director.
“Knock and it will open.”
The research director knocked, and the door slid open.
[Your position has been approved.]
Click!
When I opened the door and went inside, a woman who appeared to be in her mid-thirties approached me.
“Welcome to the lab.”
The identity of the woman was a laboratory manager, an NPC.
“Can I see what I can study now?”
“Come over here.”
When I followed the woman to the second floor, there was a lottery machine identical to the one in my shelter.
“You can do a free draw once per wave, and you need an Essence Fragment of the Fortress to add to it later.”
Essence fragments can be obtained from the fortress manager by killing zombies from the second wave or using achievement points.
“I’ll just give it away for free.”
“Yes, Mayor.”
Check the draw item.
[Internal Affairs] [Military] [Buff]
When I pressed ‘Internal Affairs’ and pulled the lever, a white marble rolled out.
*Increase in maximum population
[Rating]: Normal
[Classification]: Research – Internal Affairs
[Description]: Increases the maximum number of people that can stay in a fortress.
[Function]: Increases the maximum population by 10%.
-Up to 5 copies can be duplicated.
[Development period]: 24 hours.
The maximum population of a Rare Fortress is 1,000. A 10% increase means that 100 more people can live in it.
I handed the card to the janitor and put it in the slot.
[Start research.]
[Research will be completed in 24 hours.]
“Once you get the Fortress Essence Fragment, focus on domestic affairs research.”
“Yes I will.”
“Then look around. Suho Lee and I will go out and see.”
Leaving the research director behind, I went outside with Suho Lee.
“Suho, do you have any coins?”
“There are about 800 of them.”
“Would you like to buy this?”
I took out two zombie cards and two runner cards.
“How much can I give you?”
“300 coins.”
It was half the price sold in the tower.
“I’ll buy it right away!”
Suho Lee handed over the coin.
[You have acquired 300 coins.]
“Activate the collection and give me a summon card and 500 coins.”
[You have obtained a Summon Card.]
[You have acquired 500 coins.]
I put my hand on the summon card, made it advanced, and handed it to Lee Soo-ho again.
“Isn’t this an advanced summoner!”
“Yes, tear it up.”
Suho Lee tore up the card.
“Oh, a Lizardman warrior is here.”
“congratulations.”
“thank you. By the way, how did you strengthen the mayor’s card?”
“It is one of my skills. There is a limit on the number of times, so I can’t do it a few times.”
Considering that the high-end cards traded between people cost more than 1,000 coins, it was almost free.
‘Of course, I took the 10% benefit from the ring. This is the labor cost.’
“Ah, sorry. I was going to ask for more.”
“Lee Soo-ho, I’ll give you a suggestion, so collect them and bring them. For reference, the rarity level costs 2,500 coins.”
“Is that true?”
“Okay, then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Arrive at the plaza and check the time. There will be some time before Yoo Harin arrives.
I currently have 300 coins.
It was far from enough to make the solar power panel and the crafting tools Yuharin needed into items.
‘Four days since the end came.’
Now, there must be quite a few Awoken people who will buy high-end cards or high-end equipment.
Opened the portal to the tower.
“Should I earn some coins?”
