NOVEL NEXT chapter 38
38 – How much money do you have?
Wow… That’s cool!
Seeing my expression, Eunchae smiled brightly and ran to Kahi’s side.
I stared blankly at Eunchae’s back for a moment.
······ I’m going crazy.
After-
After catching her breath, she picked up the phone she had left in her room and walked towards the rooftop.
On her rooftop, Ha-eun was lying on the floor, rolling around with her caterpillars in her arms.
‘Ah… Is this the cute kid next to that cute kid!’
The caterpillars wiggle and rush towards me as soon as I come up.
“Hmm? The color?”
However, one of the two had slightly changed color.
One of the animals was still growing in size, and part of the body of one had turned red.
“Oh my gosh, wings, wings, wings, hehehe”
Wings? Where? Can’t you see it?
After searching the body for a while, I noticed that there was something like transparent plastic sticking out from between the thick flesh.
“Are these wings?”
“Yes, wings ahihi gikkieo”
Oh, these are wings… I thought something like a piece of plastic flew in and stuck to me…
Both of them had grown a pair of wings that were as big as baby fingernails.
“But you guys are changing too.”

Hmm… The one that changed color seems to have better sucking power.
I naturally supported their buttocks.
Slap!
“Eon-! Ufufu- huh?”
Suddenly, the red guy slapped my cheek with his butt.
???
“Why are you hitting me, caterpillar?”
Slap-Slap-
???

A red caterpillar that starts sucking on the point again as if it had been hit before.
…Well, is there a reason why I hate people?
For some reason, I felt bitter and stared blankly outside, stroking my plump butt.
The scenery seen from the rooftop changes significantly twice a day.
In the distance, you can see people from other shelters still wrestling with the demon beasts.
······!
People fighting in the open air and shouting loudly
“It’s about to end, but if you’re still like that…”
Even from a distance, I could feel that they were fighting desperately, but that shelter was empty.
People surrounded the turtle scorpion and were trying hard to lynch it, but the attack was not easy at all because it had already used up all its characteristics and magic power.
Everyone inside the shelter was running out and getting hit by the shells, but did they all take turns once or twice? Even though new shells are clearly visible, no one steps forward first.
“I guess the shield has run out…”
If someone is hit by a shell and there is no one to sacrifice, everyone will die.
At that time, I saw someone creaking and moving towards the cannonball.
A movement as if someone were moving a thread hanging in the air and moving that person.
And then the person was hit by a cannonball, and his body turned into finely chopped pieces of meat and flew out in all directions.
The shelter director gave an order…
“I think you should go down with Ha-eun.”
“I’m going to go down anyway…”
This is not something a child should see.
And a moment later, another person creaks and runs hesitantly in the direction from which the shell is flying, and it explodes.
After adding one more person and sacrificing 3 people, I felt confused as I saw the shelter where I was able to kill the boss monster and clear it.
It was an extremely rational decision to give orders to people to defend the shelter before it was destroyed.
However, it is questionable whether the shelter members will be able to trust the shelter director and overcome the stage as a team in the future.
It’s a suicide order… Lingling suddenly comes to mind.
I take out my smartphone and skim through the messages Lingling sent me.
“I sent a lot. It’s a little creepy…”
Ringling: Wow! Thanks for your reply! Is that really true? We can survive, right? Because you did a good job! Yes, you are right. I feel like I have some strength. First of all, I’ll contact you again tomorrow. Sleep well!
I’m glad you found strength in the text you sent me early in the morning.
After scrolling for a while, I finally got down to the most recent texts.
Lingling: Wi Karyun is the biggest problem. You know, right? The weasel that was broken in a battle with your teammate last time. Now that I think about it, it seems like things have been causing more trouble since then. Since he is in charge of an important axis in the field, there is nothing I can do about it now. hahahaha… Should I just beat them all up…
“Ah, you little weasel… I guess you have a place in the field faction.”
When I thought of the weasel running wild in the main battle for a moment, I couldn’t help but nod my head.
“Contemplation is science. That bastard is going to hit you in the back.”
Lingling: Honestly, if people at other shelters saw my worries like this, they might think I was having enough worries. We’ve almost let go of worrying about clearing the stage, right? Of course, right? Are we the only team that has gathered this many people with such diverse characteristics? Of course, after stage 30, it’s uncharted territory, so you’ll have to wait until then to find out. Anyway, maybe that’s why there seems to be so much factional fighting. These foolish bastards are probably already considering the situation after clearing. Can you believe it? It’s only stage 15 yet. Ha···
“I’m not worrying about clearing the stage… I’m really worried, I’m full, I can feel how powerful I am. It’s worth it, if you combine the characteristics well, it’s much stronger than the monsters that become stronger according to the number of people. “It will be able to produce more power.”
Lingling: But I have one question.
“Hmm? What is it?”
Lingling: How many points did you collect? Of course it must have been over a million, but it couldn’t have been over 2 million, right?
“That’s right… It’s almost 3 million.”
Ringling: We’re too busy spending as much time as we can to accumulate points. Even a million is at stake now. Well, fortunately, I skipped stage 21, so it’s worth spending enough money… But I feel like tearing them to pieces when I see these disgusting bastards flattering me in front of me in order to somehow get one more trait. How can all these people come together, damn it…
“You seem to be investing so much that even a million is at stake. If you ask for compensation based on your contribution, it won’t be easy to refuse. Ugh – I guess I’ll have to ask the people at our shelter to pick one trait they each want to have…”
But they chose the 21st stage pass. Hmm – well, if it’s like that, it’s probably right to skip it.
I’ve recruited a lot of people and am clearing the stage with ease, but I’m suffering because there are so many people… This is what I would have experienced if I hadn’t chosen the Shelter Independence option.
“Fuhu-“
Okay… This bastard has recovered a bit… I was hoping she would suffer a little more, but damn it.
Dog: I’m in a similar situation as you. Good job.
After giving a brief reply to Lingling, I came downstairs with the caterpillars attached.
After asking my uncle to preside over the meeting for a moment, I watched blankly as the couple prepared to cook.
As food ingredients became exchangeable, a lot of previously unseen ingredients were listed.
“Today’s lunch is stir-fried pork and beef stew.”
Chef Jinsol tells me while touching his swollen belly.
Ohh – these are the things I like.
Jinsol’s stomach seems to have become rounder over the past few days.
In her conversations with people, she briefly mentioned whether anyone had ever seen a baby give birth in a shelter, and she said no one had ever experienced it.
It is said that the couple also died on stage 20 in the last episode…
Now that she has died holding the baby in her arms, she probably feels like she wants to protect it even more.
I think the reason I first lied and moved on was because of those memories.
Anyway, I think it would be very refreshing to hear a baby crying in the shelter.
On the other hand, I am worried about whether I can raise my child well in this environment.
As always, he quickly said that he would buy each of the gathered people the traits they wanted to have.
-!
“If you request it, I will purchase it right away. If possible, please choose something that will be helpful to the team. We will keep quiet about what you requested.”
Well, you will learn everything as you fight each other, but their characteristics are sensitive.
Resident Nam Nam-cheol has requested to purchase the trait Lulubee’s Whispers (Advanced). Do you agree? Y/N
-28000P
When the purchase was completed, Euncheol’s face lit up.
Euncheol looked at me and nodded her head while showing her thumbs up.
‘I really like it… I think a good way to brighten the mood would be to ask people to choose one trait each time they unlock it.’
Even Hong Seol and Kahi Ha-eun chose the same thing.
‘Actually, this is all I’ll buy.’
I should buy one too…
Sculpture of Tenkete (Advanced)
– Change one finger to tenkete for 4 minutes.
I’m curious so I can’t help it. I immediately purchased Tenkete and Lulubi’s Whispers.
-56000P
Once I purchased the features, I instinctively understood them.
What kind of characteristic is this?
When I focused my attention on my middle finger, it suddenly became slightly thicker, turning into a black metal bar, and extending all the way to the opposite wall of the shelter.
“Kyaaa!”
Oh, surprise! I was more surprised by the women’s screams than by the stretching of my fingers.
“···Is that Tenkete?”
Kim Hyuna tilted her head and asked, and I answered yes.
Since I purchased it first, I need to check whether this is a useful feature…
Hmm, the length seemed to extend by about 10m. And the thickness could be adjusted according to my will. Instead of
As the thickness increases, the length that can be extended becomes shorter.
“Would you like to try it?”
Kahi tapped her arm and said, and I nodded and carefully tried to hit my arm.
Chollarak-clap!
“Hmm… The shield has been reduced by 100. It doesn’t seem to be extremely powerful or anything, but would you like to hit it with all your might?”
I felt relieved and this time I attacked with the strongest snap I could.
Shiririk- Bah!
“250… Seems a bit ambiguous?”
That’s right. It doesn’t have incredibly strong destructive power…
First of all, the faces of the women, including Eunchae and Kahi, were not ones I really liked.
It felt a bit like a tentacle, so I felt an instinctive feeling of disgust.
“··· I’ll buy that too. It’s perfect for creating variables when exchanging attacks.”
Surprisingly, Hyuna Kim gave it a high evaluation and requested to purchase it. Yes, just creating a variable. But she also wondered if that was enough for her.
Kim Hyun-ah was earning a lot of pocket money by running her Daejangjeon. She said that sometimes people who agree to match are destroyed in less than 30 seconds. Now, with the addition of her Ten Kete characteristics, Kim Hyun-ah’s interpersonal skills will be further enhanced.
Resident Hyuna Kim has requested to purchase the trait Tenkete (Advanced). Do you agree? Y/N
-28000P
However, in the end, only Hyuna Kim and I purchased Tenkete, and those who could not purchase Lulubi’s Whisper requested Sphere Sensitivity (Level) and Umerou Plate Armor.
-70500P
Points held: 2,698,468
I felt proud as the team’s strength increased in some economical way.
We then continued our conversation over a slightly early lunch.
