Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 41:
Chapter 41: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (4)
Kang-jun finished his final day selling socks at 7 p . m .
A profit of 1 . 52 million .
Even if he had the management skill, the profit was constrained by the floating population .
He was proud about earning more than 14 million won in just 10 days . He was even more proud about delaying Jung Kwang-hyeon’s contract .
Kang-jun had told the realtor Kim Seok-cheol that he was willing to buy the building for more than three billion won . However, he needed a few days to get the money .
Kim Seok-cheol had immediately contacted the owner of the building . It was more than Jung Kwang-hyeon offered so the owner was forced to delay the contract .
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t have the money . It would be the same even after a few days . It would be tough to sign the contract without the money .
The most important thing was to postpone the contract as much as possible!
It was a little bit sneaky, but this was necessary in a life or death battle .
And it might actually be beneficial to the owner . Jung Kwang-hyeon could offer a purchase price much higher than 2 . 8 billion .
In other words, only Jung Kwang-hyeon would receive damage .
By the time Jung Kwang-hyeon managed to buy the Dafeng building, Kang-jun would be ready to defeat him in Hwanmong .
'Jung Kwang-hyeon! Just wait . I’ll step on you . ’
The next day, there was heavy rain all day long .
Thus the population of the market was less than usual . Thanks to the management skill, people still gathered around Kang-jun .
The part time female workers Kang-jun decided to hire helped him sell products at the market .
"Come here unni~!”
“Hoho! Pretty lady! Come look at this underwear . ”
After deducting the value of the goods and the labour costs, the profit was approximately two million won .
It was raining on the first day but the atmosphere was still pretty good .
"Hoho, there is a lot of business despite the rainy day . Boss-nim is lucky with money . ”
Kang-jun laughed . He couldn’t say that it was due to the management skill .
“Haha! I haven’t heard that before . It will become more busy in the future . Both of you, good job today . See you tomorrow . ”
“Yes, Boss-nim~ . ”
Kang-jun closed up at 8 p . m . and returned to the goshiwon .
He spoke to Kim Seok-cheol who had called the owner .
The contract would be signed if Jung Kwang-hyeon raised the amount . Fortunately, the building owner had flow to Jeju Island this afternoon and wouldn’t be back until the day after tomorrow .
10 o’clock at night .
Kang-jun lay in the bed of the newly contracted Room 307 of the Eco Studio Apartment .
Hayun was sitting on a chair in front of the bed . She would protect Kang-jun when he was sleeping .
"Would you like a lullaby?”
“Please . ”
Kang-jun fell asleep while listening to Hayun’s lullaby .
[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]
[You have entered the world of Hwanmong . ]
A strange but familiar room .
As expected, Kang-jun was standing in Eco Studio Apartment’s Room 307 after waking up in Hwanmong .
An empty room . A dark corridor .
Still, everything was better than when he first started in Room 406 of the Dafeng building .
The Demonic Dragon’s Ring was on his left hand . He had three bottles of health recovery potion and one bottle of black magic recovery potion . His right hand was holding the Solid Iron Axe .
Above all, he was Lv12!
And one more thing .
(Lord! It is Keirun . I was surprised to see a new territory rise, so Lord must be planning to create a base there . )
He was the military adviser . Thanks to that, Keirun could send messages like there was a telepathic link .
(Of course . )
Surprisingly, Kang-jun could also communicate through the same method .
It was natural .
Kang-jun briefly explained the situation .
He had heard the status of Herod’s troops from Colt .
In addition, Kang-jun was creating a new base because Herod was trying to interfere by buying the Dafeng building .
(Ohh! As expected from Lord . I wouldn’t have thought about a new base . It is a wonderful plan that will prepare for the worst . )
(But Herod knows the location of the Dafeng building so he might decide to attack the base there . Can you stop it?)
(Lord, don’t worry . Although Herod has many troops, he has no information about our side . That is enough to defeat them . )
Herod had 35 orc infantry and 15 goblin archers .
The goblin’s attack power was similar to the ratian archers and gnomes, but the damage wouldn’t be small if the 15 archers fired at once . Furthermore, the attack power of the orcs was close to the giant ratians .
He had 35 orcs! Herod would start producing more troops tonight . He had three stage three barracks, so he would have a total of 90 troops in the near future .
In contrast, Kang-jun’s side only had 20 troops . Even if he upgraded the barrack to stage three today, it would only increase to 30 .
However, he had golem ratigers and intermediate gnomes that could deal with the orcs .
Was that all?
The senior ghost Hayun, intermediate ghost Colt, advanced gnome Rodium and the military adviser Keirun were all in his camp .
And Kang-jun was a Lv12 sovereign . His side wouldn’t be easily pushed .
However, there would be enormous sacrifices on his side in a confrontation .
A victory couldn’t be guaranteed .
Therefore, Kang-jun planned to build another base for a siege operation on two sides .
(Keirun, thank you for the trouble . )
(Lord should also be careful . I do have one question . How did you manage to get Colt as your subordinate?)
(Herod did something very unscrupulous . It is worthy of betrayal . )
(That isn’t possible . Like I said last time, treachery is impossible unless the lord releases the subordinate . Even if charisma falls, there is no way . )
(Then what is going on?)
(Let’s see . . . Something very strange has happened . I wonder if you have awoken the hidden power of a sovereign . )
(The hidden power of a sovereign?)
(It isn’t a certain guess . I’ve never developed any powers . )
(I don’t know . A message just appeared . )
(Anyway, it is a good thing . Focus on making your base right now . We will look into it in the future . )
(I understand . Take care . )
(Yes, Lord . )
The conversation between Kang-jun and Keirun ended .
Maybe today would be a very difficult situation . But Kang-jun trusted Keirun as the military adviser .
Right now, it was more important to defend himself .
New messages had appeared in the meantime .
[You can build a base in this territory . ]
[Would you like to build a base at Room 307? Yes/No]
‘Yes! I will make it . ’
There was no need to hesitate . It was the reason he came here .
[Stage 1 base is being constructed: 1%]
[The enemy has started to notice you after the construction of the base started . ]
"Come!"
He was already prepared . Kang-jun quickly ran down the corridor of the Eco Studio Apartment .
“Grrr!”
"Kwaaang!”
Dark smoke filled the corridor and monsters with black fur emerged .
Flashing fangs!
They were large wolves . There were 10 of them .
"Kwaaang!”
“Grrrr!”
Kang-jun ran forward and used the momentum to swing the axe .
[Experience has been gained . ]
[3 nodes have been gained . ]
One monster gave three nodes . It wasn’t a bad income .
[Inferior ‘dark wolf’ knowledge has been acquired . ]
[It is possible to summon a dark wolf in the barrack . ]
[Dark wolf]
-Resources: 10 nodes
Furthermore, knowledge was obtained!
The black wolves were called dark wolves . 10 of them rushed simultaneously!
It was easy now but it would have been tough if he met them at Lv1 .
‘It is difficult to make multiple bases without raising my level . '
Of course, there were no such threats if he owned the building .
However, Kang-jun welcomed this situation . It might be small but he got experience from the monsters . In addition, knowledge was gained .
He would become much stronger .
[Stage 1 is complete . ]
His base was finished . Kang-jun instantly started attacked the studio rooms on the 3rd floor .
Sometimes giant dark wolves would pop out, but they weren’t too hard .
[Inferior ‘giant dark wolf’ knowledge has been acquired . ]
[It is possible to summon a giant dark wolf in the barrack . ]
[Giant dark wolf]
-Resources: 20 nodes
-Can only be summoned when charisma is over 1 point .
More knowledge was obtained . For the moment, he couldn’t summon any dark wolves to the barrack . But there were no negatives about gaining knowledge .
[Room 309]
-Occupied territory
-Territory effect: Barrack construction is possible .
[Room 318]
-Occupied territory
-Territory effect: Construction of a research institute is possible .
And he succeeded in finding two rooms . He didn’t know about the research institute, but a contract was needed to build a barrack in Room 309 .
[The Eco building’s 3rd floor has been occupied . ]
[102 nodes have been gained . ]
[The Eco building’s 4th floor has been occupied . ]
[A Solid Iron Sword has been obtained . ]
Kang-jun took over the Eco Studio Apartments located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building .
His earnings were surprisingly high . He obtained money and a new weapon .
However, Kang-jun had never learnt kendo so he was more comfortable with the axe that could deal a large blow .
‘I will store the sword . ’
He didn’t continue to climb up to the rooftop . Finally, he went down to the seafood noodle restaurant on the 2nd floor, the pub on the 1st floor and the kendo school in the basement .
Strongest Kendo Dojo .
The name seemed plausible, but no sword-wielding monsters emerged .
Only dark wolves appeared .
Naturally, they were just snacks for Kang-jun .
[The Strongest Kendo Dojo has been occupied . ]
[The Eco building has been occupied . ]
[A rare treasure chest of good luck has been obtained . ]
'A rare treasure box of good luck?’
This wasn’t the first time he had found a treasure chest . Yet this was the first time Kang-jun had found one with such an unusual name .
‘What will be in here?’
Kang-jun excitedly opened the chest .
A glittering gold scroll was inside .
[Heaven’s Blood Sword Style]
-Learning Restriction: Sovereign
‘W-what is this?’
It was a name that seemed like it would appear in a martial arts novel . The ‘blood’ part of the name gave him a feeling of horror .
There was a restriction that only sovereigns could learn it .
Of course, Kang-jun was a sovereign so he could learn it .
Chwaaaak!
He opened the scroll and a brilliant light poured out .
[A sword style that contains the invincible strength of the heavens! However, there will be a lot of pain before it reaches that stage . . . ]
A shadow of a man holding a sword appeared and penetrated Kang-jun’s body .
[The Heaven’s Blood Sword Style has been learnt . ]
[The highest quality knowledge of swordsmanship has been gained . ]
[Your body has become optimized for the sword . ]
[Heaven’s Blood Sword Style is limited to your level . ]
[As your level rises, your swordsmanship will also increase . ]
"Heaven’s Blood Sword Style! It is a strange coincidence . . . !”
There was no doubt . He had literally just obtained a sword .
Kang-jun didn’t know how strong Heaven’s Blood Sword Style was .
However, the highest quality knowledge of swordsmanship would be obtained, so he didn’t think he would be disappointed .
It was at that moment .
There was an unexpected message .
[The neighbouring Dain building is the territory of the ogre Germuz .
[Germuz does not like your occupation of the Eco building . ]
What was this?
Ogre!
The Eco building was a four storey building .
Keirun stated that taller buildings had scary monsters, so Kang-jun had avoided the high-rise buildings . The problem was that the Dain building next door had seven floors .
The boss there was an ogre called Germuz .
‘Shit! Ogre!’
He heard of an ogre before .
The fearsome ogre that appeared in movies and fantasy novels!
He didn’t like that someone had occupied the adjacent building .
[Germuz requires 500 nodes as tribute . ]
[If you accept then you will no longer be threatened or perceived as a hostile presence . ]
[He will also protect the Eco building, where your base is located, from outside attacks . ]
[Offering tribute to Germuz will permanently reduce your charisma by 1 point . ]
[Would you like to offer a tribute? Yes/No]
