NOVEL NEXT chapter 4
Prepare shelter (1)
“All items acquired in the tutorial will be delivered to your house, so you can pick them up when you wake up.”
After the merchant’s words, a hologram shop appeared in the air.
＜Equipment＞＜Summons＞＜Material＞
＜Potion＞＜Others＞＜Job＞＜Search＞
Hit search.
[Tell me what item you are looking for.]
When the apocalypse comes, the most important place is a shelter, a safe place.
“Search Shelter Package.”
*Shelter package
[Rating]: Normal
[Description]: Shelter package.
[Price]: 10,000 points.
[package]:
-Shelter Guardian Stone
– 100 territories
– 100 Foundation Walls (50*50cm)
Territories are the basic and safe zones of shelters, preventing the reorganization of the environment or the creation of monsters. Now we need an administrator to manage the shelter.
‘Managers come from collections.’
If you collect all the summons of ＜The End is Shelter Quick!＞, you will be given a shelter manager who can build a building using coins.
“Search Goblin Workers.”
[Found 1.]
*Goblin Worker (Normal)
[price]: 10 points
Touch the Buy button.
[10 points have been consumed.]
When purchasing the Dwarf Worker (Advanced) and the Rakan Manager (Rare) in the same way, an additional 1,110 points were consumed.
‘Next is the material for making the homunculus.’
I recalled the material in my head.
* Homunculus (Black) production recipe.
[Rating]: Hero
[Classification]: Homunculus.
[Crafting Materials]:
– Lich’s Bone
– Dark Elf Soul
…
…
– blood of trolls
– Ogre’s Heart
“hmm···.”
As expected, the price of the material was expensive enough to use almost all the points.
‘I still have to buy it.’
Among them, there was not a single material that could be obtained in the beginning, and the value of the homunculus was superior to any other item.
[117,090 points have been consumed.]
“How many Enchantment Stones can I buy?”
“You can buy up to 100 of them at your level.”
[You have purchased 50 Enhancement Stones.]
[5,000 points have been consumed.]
“Search Calderan’s Necklace.”
*Kalderan’s Necklace
[Rating]: Rare.
[Classification]: ornaments.
[Description]: Manipulates the memories of people who are lower than rare.
-It is not effective for those who know the user’s face before wearing it.
[Function]: Cognitive impairment
-Enable: People don’t remember your face.
– Can be used 8 hours a day.
-Disabled: Agility +2
The price of the necklace is 5,000 points.
‘As expected.’
Kalderan’s Necklace is an item that I ate after killing the boss on the 3rd floor of the Tower of Salvation. I sold it right away because I didn’t need it in the game, but it’s different in reality.
Obviously, my actions will be noticed by others, and since I am a weak alchemist in the beginning, my life can be in danger if my face is known.
[5,000 points have been consumed.]
“Search Information Card”
*Information card.
[Classification]: Item
[Function]: Paid service information.
[price]: 100 points
-Available for purchase of 1 piece.
“Can you tell me what kind of information it contains?”
I asked just in case.
“I can’t tell you that, but as you know, all bases in Monster Apocalypse are drawn.”
The Merchant of the End petted the crow and continued.
“That means you can get some pretty good information if you’re lucky. Well, if you’re unlucky, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Pull again.
[100 points have been consumed.]
When I bought it in the open beta, it was a waste of money because the information I already knew in the closed beta came out.
Come to think of it, there were more items that were not needed in the game, but were made with reality in mind.
Even though there is no concept of satiety, if you look at the food or information card that came out through the grocery card.
Looking at the remaining points, I could only buy one inventory ring and one food card.
I bought a ring and wondered what kind of job I could find, so I pressed search.
vampire (hero)
werewolf (hero)
…
…
samurai (hero)
Although there were various jobs. The price was twice as expensive as the draw, and there were no jobs higher than the hero level.
“It’s done.”
It’s a pity that I couldn’t buy the summons right away, but it doesn’t matter. You can get it on the 1st floor of the Tower of Salvation.
“Then please survive until the end.”
As soon as the merchant finished speaking, I lost consciousness with a blue light.

T-T-T-D~

“It’s six o’clock already.”
I stretched out my arm to silence the alarm and moved from the bed to the bathroom.
shoot!
As soon as the cold water touched my skin, I remembered what had happened in the tutorial.
I hurriedly checked my body.
Dirt stains all over the clothes.
So were the feet.
‘It wasn’t a dream either.’
The Merchant of the End did. After sleeping, you can pick up the item.
I moved into the living room without washing.
In the middle of the living room, there was an item I had acquired yesterday and a notebook I had never seen before.
‘It’s a scenario notebook.’
First of all, let’s check my information.
When I shouted out the status window in my mind, I could see my information digitized just like the one I saw last night.
“As expected… it was real.’
Everything MA said is true. I hurried to the website.
– The service has been terminated.
Access the community site, not the official site.
-Does anyone have supernatural powers?
-Do you naively still believe in that?
-hahahahaha]
– It seems that you have already received the iron man at one time?
-f*ck hahahaha If that bastard has superpowers, I’ll make a jang in my hand.
The bulletin board was already plastered with sarcastic remarks that there was no possibility of having supernatural powers.
I continued to look through the article.
‘There are no posts written by Awakeners.’
I turned off my computer, sat on the floor, and prioritized my actions.
‘First, the information card.’
Touch the information card.
It’s about the size of a credit card.
[Opens the information card.]
*Information card
[Information]: Iron Eater appeared on August 1st.
– Excluding items
-Excluding shelter
-Ingests all iron components except for the iron components that make up life.
Iron Eater.
Modern civilization will disappear after August 1st as a giant monster that devours everything including iron.
‘About two months left.’
While the military and police block the monster’s attack, you must prepare for the future by creating a safe shelter as much as possible.
‘Let’s hurry up.’
When I touched the scenario notebook, the notebook turned into particles and disappeared, and letters appeared in front of my eyes.
[The job scenario begins.]
*Equipment disassembly
[Rating]: Normal.
[Content]: Equipment disassembly.
– Grab objects and disassemble them.
-Dismantle 2 of them.
[Reward]: 50 coins.
I took out my chopsticks from the cutlery box and shouted in my heart with the will to disassemble.
[Disassembling the chopsticks.]
The black energy that came out of the fingertips swallowed the chopsticks in an instant.
[You have acquired 5 Coins.]
“Wow~”
The black aura that came out of my fingertips is amazing, but I can’t believe I can get coins this easily…
Let’s do something else.
A silver medal placed on one side of the wall caught my eye. How much effort did you put in to get it?
‘A reward for my life.’
However, what is needed in the changed world is a cool-headed reason rather than memories.
[Disassembling the silver medal.]
[You have acquired 20 Coins.]
[The scenario has been completed.]
[The reward has been paid.]
I picked up the gold medal and tried disassembling it.
[Available after 12 hours.]
After all, there’s no way you can acquire infinite coins this easily.
Still, being able to get a coin for free once every 12 hours is great. In addition, the coins obtained depending on the disassembly target are also different words.
[The scenario has arrived.]
*Production of items.
[Rating]: Normal.
[Content]: Creating items.
– Enhanced for free.
-Enhancement cost less than 10 coins.
[Reward]: Grade Enhancement Ticket (Advanced).
– Cannot be used for items.
[Reward 2]: 100 coins.
What do you mean? I reached into the nearby refrigerator and used ＜Rank Enhancement＞.
[Level enhancement is not possible because the cost exceeds 10 coins.]
I moved to the warehouse and checked the enhancement cost of various items. Out of 10 coins or less, only chopsticks were usable.
＜Rating Enhancement＞
[It will be enhanced for free.]
[Enhancement succeeded.]
[Chopsticks have become an item.]
[The scenario has been completed.]
[The reward has been paid.]
*Silver Chopsticks
[Rating]: Normal
[Classification]: Tools
[Description]: A tool used to eat food.
A little while ago, no information came out when you touched it, but information is displayed as it becomes an item.
wait···. It was said that it became an item after it was successfully strengthened.
Touch the inventory ring. A circular dark space appeared in front of my eyes.
When the unreinforced chopsticks were pushed in, they bounced back with a repulsive force and a message was printed.
[It is not an item.]
This time, when I pushed the silver chopsticks, which had turned into items, they went in without any refusal.
[Silver chopsticks are stored in slot 1.]
I read the description on the information card once again. Obviously, it is written that the item is excluded from Iron Eater’s attack.
That means that if you have enough coins, you can use things made of iron.
“Awesome.”
Due to the nature of the inventory, there is no weight limit. That means you can put anything in it.
I’ll have to test it a little more to find out, but I’m sure it will work if I make a tank or a car into an item.
[The scenario has arrived.]
*Creating advanced items.
[Rating]: Normal.
[Contents]: Make chopsticks high quality.
– Enhanced for free.
[Reward]: Grade enhancement ticket (rare).
[Reward 2]: 100 coins.
let’s strengthen
[Succeeded in strengthening chopsticks.]
[A new feature has been added.]
[The reward has been paid.]
* Silver chopsticks.
[Rating]: Advanced.
[Classification]: Weapon.
[Description]: A weapon in the form of chopsticks.
[function]:
– Added Penetration
-Additional damage to undead and demon monsters.
The upper part of the chopsticks has become sharper and functions have been added.
‘It’s like a dart.’
Isn’t penetration power the power to pierce something? Without much thought, I tossed the tip of the chopstick forward toward the bed.
hooked!
About 2/3 of the chopsticks got stuck in the mat.
“omg.”
I threw it lightly, but what is this power?
If you throw it at the weak monster’s head with all your might, you’ll be able to catch it in one shot.
It’s a pity that the enhanced item is not a weapon for killing like a knife or gun, but it’s small in size, so it’s useful for taking enemies off guard.
[The final scenario has arrived.]
*Invitation to the Tower of Salvation.
[Rating]: Normal
[Content]: Physical training.
– 10 km on foot
[compensation]:
-100 coins.
-Invitation (Advanced)
“It’s finally starting.”
Before walking, I should start with ‘black’ first. I gathered the scattered materials in one place and reached out.
＜Production of Homunculus＞
Unidentified black smoke flowed from his right hand.
‘that’s interesting.’
The smoke wrapped around the ingredients and entangled them like jelly, then turned into a small magic circle and climbed up the hand and imprinted it on the back of the hand.
[When the pattern’s energy is full, the homunculus ‘Black’ is born.]
‘Black’ is the ultimate homunculus and possesses only one power.
Power of Predation.
The ability to completely transform into a devoured target and permanently absorb some of the devoured item’s abilities.
In the game, I ate a lot of things in black, and he completely transformed into what I needed depending on the situation.
When weapons are needed, swords and guns.
When you need to move, use the griffin.
On the last day, he turned into a lich.
Sooner or later, I will get the ultimate homunculus ‘black’.
‘It’s thrilling just thinking about it.’
growl!
It was time to put on the necklace and go out to eat.
Bang bang!
‘It’s a blink.’
The only person knocking on the front door at this hour is the little boy who lives downstairs.
“Hyung, do you have superpowers?”
“Can it be what it looks like?”
“Ah what is it? I worked hard at the supernatural power level…”
The little boy sighed, perhaps disappointed, and held out something to me.
“Hyung, are you going to exercise without eating anything again?”
It was toast and milk.
“My sister will bring it.”
“Tell my sister thank you.”
Come to think of it, the little guy said he was also doing MA.
“Kid, do you remember the tutorial?”
“Are there zombies?”
“Uh, after choosing a job.”
“Do you remember?”
“You know the zombie weakness, right?”
“Hyung, that’s basic.”
The little boy laughed and said.
“What is a zombie’s weakness?”
“head!”
“I just need to know. Let’s go down.”
After taking the kid home, we went out to eat toast and milk.
When I came out to the street, people were moving busily as usual.
The man who opens the door to the supermarket.
A woman cleaning the front of a pharmacy.
An old man displaying tools in front of a hardware store.
There were shovels, brooms, and pickaxes on the shelves.
‘pick?’
why didn’t i think of that?
His steps headed for the hardware store. Maybe making a shelter will be easier than I thought.
