Chapter 21: Occupying Everything (1)

[Stage 1 Barrack]

-Capacity 0/10

[Ratian infantry summoning: 1%]

[A ratian infantry is scheduled to be summoned]

[A ratian archer is scheduled to be summoned]

[A ratian archer is scheduled to be summoned]

[A giant ratian is scheduled to be summoned]

The summoning was time consuming but took place immediately . Only one could be summoned at a time so it took a while for all five monsters to arrive .

‘It will take a while if I wait . ’

Kang-jun decided to move alone instead of waiting for his army . He should occupy the goshiwon on the 4th floor first . In reality, he only had a contract for Rooms 406 and 413, but he could occupy the rest through invasion .

He started from the next room on the right . First, he stood in front of Room 405 .

[Room 405]

-Invasion is possible

[Would you like to invade? Yes/No]

It would be frightening if he received this question in reality .

This room wasn’t empty in reality . Kang-jun knew who was right next door . Kim Hyun-soo was an office worker in his 20s who had stayed in that room for many months . Their only relationship was light greetings when seeing each other . But now Kang-jun was invading his room!

It was something he would never do in reality . But this was the world of Hwanmong . Common sense and the laws in reality didn’t apply to this world .

‘Yes! Invade . ’

Kang-jun didn’t hesitate to initiate the invasion . He needed to invade all of Dafeng, so Kang-jun had to hurry .

[Attack and destroy the door . ]

Kang-jun immediately swung his bat at the door to Room 405 .

Kwang! Kwang kwang!

A red durability gauge appeared .

[Door to Room 405: 92%]

It meant his attacks only caused the durability to fall by 8% .

“Eeit!”

Kwang! Bam bam bam! Kwakwang!

Kang-jun attacked with the club as well as his two feet . The durability fell in a flash .

[Door to Room 405: 0%]

The message stating that the door reached 0% durability appeared the moment the door faded away .

[You have captured Room 405 . ]

The inside of Room 405 was immediately revealed . It was an empty room without even a bed or a desk . Something was shining on the ground .

[Solid Wooden Stick]

‘Oh! Weapon!’

Kang-jun instantly looked at it .

[Solid Wooden Stick]

-Lightweight yet durable, it won’t break easily .

-There is a 1% chance to stun enemies with a blow .

The light and durable stick was incomparable to the ratian’s club . In addition, it had an option attached that gave a 1% chance of stunning the enemy .

‘I can change weapons . ’

Kang-jun immediately abandoned the club for the wooden stick .

‘Next is Room 404!’

He broke the door in an instant .

[You have captured Room 404 . ]

[3 nodes have been gained . ]

Room 404 gave him three nodes . But that wasn’t the end . Kang-jun attacked and occupied Rooms 403, 402 and 401 .

He didn’t get money or items in every room . In some cases, he literally just smashed the door .

However, each room had an updated information window .

[Room 401]

-Occupied territory

-Territory effect: Construction of a research institute is possible .

[Room 402]

-Occupied territory

-Territory effect: None

[Room 403]

-Occupied territory

-Territory effect: None

There was something like this .

Kang-jun needed to consider the effect of each room so he could decide if he should form a contract in reality . For the most part, each of the rooms had no effect . But in the case of Room 401, it was possible to construct a research institute .

‘What is a research institute?’

[Through the research institute, you can create more powerful monsters to make the war situation more favourable . ]

So, building a research institute meant his monsters would become stronger . If so, he needed to build it by any means .

He would need to sign a contract for Room 401 in reality, just like Rooms 406 and 413 . The manager Kwon Myeong-cheol would think he was crazy, but it would be beneficial to Kang-jun in Hwanmong .

Money wouldn’t be a burden . Right now, Kang-jun had the ridiculous ability to earn one million won a day .

[A ratian infantry has been summoned . ]

One ratian was finally summoned to the barrack .

Ratian infantry No . 001]

Health: 70/70

Strength: 2

Agility: 5

Intelligence: 1

Dexterity: 1

“Keket! Rod! Please give a command . I will do whatever you want . ”

Surprisingly, the ratian could speak . It also spoke in Korean!

“Come and attack the target with me . ”

“Kikikik! It is exciting . ”

The ratian infantry came to Room 407 and started attacking the door mercilessly with Kang-jun .

Kwang kwang kwang!

Bam bam! Bam bam bam!

Thanks to that, the door to Room 407 was broken at a much faster rate .

[You have captured Room 407 . ]

[4 nodes have been gained . ]

‘It is easy to understand . ’

Although it was an ugly monster with the head of a rat and the body of a monkey, it was still somewhat reassuring to have it as a subordinate .

“Next is Room 408!”

“Kekekeke!”

Kang-jun occupied the goshiwon rooms at a fast pace thanks to the ratian infantry . Another ratian infantry was summoned by the time he took over all the rooms and headed towards the kitchen .

48 nodes .

Two Minor Health Recovery Potions .

One Solid Wooden Stick .

Those were the loot he obtained in the meantime . It was quite good .

Kang-jun headed for the goshiwon’s management office located near the stairs of the 4th floor with a satisfied smile .

“Okay . Now it is time for the management office . Attack!”

“Kukakat! I understand . ”

“Keket! I will follow you . ”

But unlike the small rooms, the door to the management office wasn’t easily broken .

[The Dafeng goshiwon’s management office: 92%]

Despite three people hitting at it, the durability only decreased by 8% . In addition, sometimes the door would swing open to attack .

‘Ugh! This won’t work . Aura of Earth!’

In that case, he would use his skill!

Aura of Earth consumed five black magic energy to increase defense for one minute .

Kwang! Kwang!

Due to that, Kang-jun wasn’t hurt by any attacks from the management office’s door .

On the other hand, the ratians had no defense and their health continued to decrease .

[Ratian infantry No . 001]

Health: 38/70

[Ratian infantry No . 002]

Health: 32/70

‘Ah! It would be a shame if they are killed . ’

Kang-jun hastily moved them back .

“I will attack this alone while you retreat . ”

The ratian infantry waited in the back .

In the end, Kang-jun was forced to attack the door of the management office alone . However, Aura of Earth couldn’t fill in the gap from the missing attacks of the two ratians .

[A ratian archer has been summoned . ]

Then a ratian archer with ranged attacks was summoned, so reducing the durability was even more straightforward .

[The Dafeng goshiwon’s management office: 0%]

He finally managed to break down the door of the management office .

[You have occupied the management office . ]

[The goshiwon in the Dafeng building has been entirely captured . ]

He looked inside the management office and saw a scroll .

Kang-jun examined it .

[Inferior goshiwon knowledge has been acquired . ]

[The power of the management skills inside the goshiwon will increase . ]

‘Inferior goshiwon knowledge?’

Occupying the goshiwon gave him some knowledge about it . Of course, this knowledge wasn’t normal knowledge but associated with the skill . In other words, Kang-jun’s skill Draw In Customer would become much stronger inside the goshiwon .

‘Will occupying something generate knowledge?’

Then taking control of the PC rooms on the 3rd floor might give knowledge about the PC rooms . What about the coffee shop and karaoke on the 2nd floor, real estate office on the 1st floor and karaoke bar in the basement?

‘My guess is probably right . ’

This was the world of Hwanmong!

It wasn’t simple knowledge . In reality, money was power . In other words, he could earn money easier when occupying new territory .

He would do whatever it took to occupy the building .

It was at that moment .

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over . ]

[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]

Kang-jun heard a dreamy voice and the area in front of him became hazy .

“Um!”

He was on his bed . It meant he had woken up from the dream . He came back to reality from Hwanmong .

‘I’ve only occupied the 4th floor . ’

Unfortunately, he had only started the occupation of the 3rd floor when the door to Hwanmong was closed . He glanced at his watch and saw that it was 7 a . m .

‘I need to hurry up and prepare . ’

Today he would go and make money by selling socks .

Kang-jun opened the door without thinking .

“Heok!”

What was this? The ghost was standing at his door .
