22. Now this is the center.

“Beyond world domination, I feel like even conquering the universe wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Hehe. Congratulations, Master-nim.”

Seo-hyun clapped with a genuine smile.

Right. Since I got these stats almost for free anyway, I should give some to Seo-hyun, who’s been working hard.

Honestly, she handles most of the aftermath of my shenanigans.

 

 

Hmm… 1 billion should be enough, right?

 

 

“Here. Put it in your sex appeal.”

“Huh?”

 

I gently stroked her, who was looking at me with puppy-dog eyes.

 

 

“It’s a reward for your hard work.”

“…The stats are mine, but he’s taking all the credit.”

“It’s my system in the first place.”

 

 

Seo-hyun looked at it as if checking her bank account, and soon her big eyes welled up with tears.

 

 

“Aaa… M-Master-nim…!”

“Hey. Why are you crying? Don’t cry. I get annoyed with crying women.”

“Yes… Yes… Thank you.”

“You always have to say it like that, you pervert.”

“So what?”

 

 

Is it because I took the stats? She’s being strangely rebellious. Should I suppress her again?

 

 

“But Master-nim… If you use it so carelessly….”

 

Seo-hyun, who had returned to her normal expression, asked that.

She seems to be asking if it’s okay to spend 1 billion on her… Well, so what? I have stats overflowing. And there will be more overflowing soon. And looking at the account now, the commission balance alone is over 1 billion. If I settle this, 1 billion will come back intact.

 

 

Speaking of which, let’s settle it. Then the remaining balance is 4 billion. I can give 1.3 billion each to my wives.

 

 

What about me?

Since the system is that I get stronger as my wives and maids get stronger, there’s no need to invest in me. Rather, it’s a loss in terms of power. Because only I get stronger.

 

 

Ah!

Right. Isn’t there something like a uniform reward for the maids?

 

 

[There is.]

 

Oh. It’s been a while since I heard that voice.

 

[Because you have a master account, it is connected to all accounts registered in the future, and if you wish, you can grant points uniformly through ‘Bestowal’.]

 

 

Oho. I see.

Then that means I can just pick pretty girls regardless of talent and bestow stats to create the strongest army!

 

Of course, I already have the strongest army!

 

 

 

.

“The casino exploration is roughly done… How should I utilize the remaining space?”

 

 

Basically, it’s a high-rise building. It’s over 200 meters tall. Excluding the casino, there’s quite a bit of empty space.

 

“It’s in the plan I gave you…”

“This is just my idea, but how about creating an ecosystem inside this building?”

“An ecosystem?”

“Yeah. A super-luxury hotel city exclusively for incredibly rich and successful ‘female’ adventurers.”

“Wow. Your intentions are so obvious, Master-nim.”

“Hehe.”

“No one will stay there!”

 

What a truth bomb girl.

 

 

“Anyway, we’ll open various luxury brand stores and sell them with stats.”

“Is there really a need to receive them with stats? You have so many anyway.”

“Is that so?”

 

 

That’s right. Come to think of it… If I have Henrietta, I can produce as much as I want.

Then what should I do… Should I just make it exclusively for maids?

 

A hotel exclusively for 1st-class maids and executives!

All expenses are free, and luxury coupons are distributed every month. They can buy a few bags and a few clothes a month at the brand stores in the building.

 

 

Wow. Isn’t this complete welfare?

 

 

Ah. No, that’s not right. The 1st-class maid lives in the Imperial Palace. Then should I let the 2nd-class maid live there?

 

 

“How about a group headquarters?”

“Headquarters? Why headquarters all of a sudden?”

“Master-nim, you seem to have forgotten, but you have a group under you and quite a few businesses. Usually, these groups build a large headquarters and operate in an integrated manner. Because there are many situations where they need to go back and forth.”

 

 

“Ah, that’s right.”

 

 

I was the chairman.

I forgot.

 

 

“Still, it’s a special building, so it’s a bit much to use it as a headquarters. If we need it, we can build it separately later. I have a lot of money.”

“Yes.”

 

 

 

Hmm. How should I do it to get a good reputation?

 

 

“Oh well, I don’t know. First, scout luxury brands to come here.”

“To what extent should I do it?”

“The commercial area was 10 floors, right?”

“Yes. From the 11th floor to the 20th floor.”

“Then fill all the floors from the 16th floor to the 20th floor with brands. The 16th floor is hats, the 17th floor is clothes, the 18th floor is wallets, and so on.”

“Yes.”

“Ah, and while we’re at it, we can do collaborations. You said there’s a company among our companies that makes equipment, right?”

“Yes. We mainly produce armor. Recently, we’ve been researching mithril equipment.”

“Right. Let’s make something by combining that with luxury brands. So, from the 12th floor to the 15th floor, we’ll sell equipment made by us, all in collaboration with luxury brands. Isn’t it cool?”

“Gucci plate armor, Chanel helmet… Is that the kind of feeling?”

“Yeah. Sora-nuna would like it.”

“Then what are you going to do with the 11th floor?”

“Let’s make it an exchange. We can’t use the exchange now. So, we’ll create a system that can replace the D10 exchange. Let’s do this much for now and think about the rest slowly.”

“Yes.”

“Ah, and let’s have a press conference first. I’ve always wanted to do it.”

“A press conference…?”

“Yeah.”

 

 

Seo-hyun looked at me with a worried face, but soon nodded.

 

“I understand. Master-nim.”

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gangnam City.

 

 

If you were to name the center of that place, everyone would choose the Harem Palace headquarters without hesitation.

 

The huge Harem Palace house towering high was a direct testament to how great and high-dimensional the dungeon was.

A huge building built in just 1 second.

 

 

And recently, another high-rise building was built across from it.

This bizarre phenomenon soon spread to the world, attracting many people, and at that moment, Yoo-eun gathered reporters and held a conference.

 

 

“What on earth is he trying to do….”

 

 

He had appeared on TV before, but he had never had a proper interview or press conference, so attention was even more focused.

 

Hundreds of reporters gathered in the plaza in front of the Harem Palace, and there were also ordinary citizens who came out to watch out of curiosity.

 

 

 

 

 

“Huh? He’s coming!”

“Where?”

 

Soon after, Yoo-eun appeared, leading a line of women called ‘maids’.

Camera flashes poured out at him like machine guns, wada dada dada.

 

Yoo-eun went up on a makeshift stage and sat at a podium with a microphone, and his maids sat on either side of him.

One of them is a woman named Seo-hyun, who is the most well-known besides Yoo-eun.

 

 

“Ah. Ah. Is it coming out?”

“It’s coming out, Master-nim.”

 

Her appearance of unhesitatingly saying Master-nim made some people frown, but no one could openly say anything.

 

 

“Hello, reporters. And people of the world who will be watching this news in the future.”

 

The cameras flashed again and poured out flashes.

 

 

“Um… Today, I’m going to show you all something very, very amazing.”

 

The reporters tilted their heads.

At the same time, they flash as if telling him to speak quickly.

 

 

Yoo-eun took out a bankbook and a card from his pocket.

 

 

“Do you know what this is?”

“?”

 

The reporters tilted their heads together.

 

 

Of course they know. There’s no way they wouldn’t know.

A bankbook and a card.

Anyone who is a modern person would know.

 

 

The problem is why Yoo-eun is taking it out at this place.

 

 

If the chairman or president of a financial company took it out, they would think, ‘Ah, they’re going to announce a new financial system.’ But Yoo-eun is an adventurer.

 

 

“Yes. As you all know, this is a bankbook. And this is a card.”

 

Yoo-eun put down the bankbook and the card.

 

 

“But it’s not ordinary.”

With a smirk.

 

 

“It’s a stat account and its card.”

He said something incomprehensible.

 

 

“Stat… account…?”

“What is that?”

 

Murmuring sound.

The meaning of the word is easy to understand, but the meaning could not be easily accepted.

 

 

A stat account?

What kind of combination is this?

 

 

“A while ago, I built a building. It’s a magnificent building that’s over 200 meters tall. The purpose of the building is various, but it ultimately boils down to one thing.”

 

 

He got up from his seat.

And he came to the front of the podium and began to walk around the stage from left to right.

 

 

“Before that, everyone! There must be people here who have stats. If you do, you’ll know. The adventurer’s hardship! Everyone has stats, and they try to improve their stats through items. The problem is that there are definitely stats that are useless to me, but are unnecessarily high, so they’re like a white elephant.”

 

 

What kind of situation is this now?

 

 

The reporters are looking at Yoo-eun with that expression.

It seems like he’s trying to announce something cool, but it’s just distracting.

 

 

If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have brought a desk in the first place.

 

 

“But ta-da! This has appeared in front of you. Do you know what this is?”

 

 

He asked again, raising the bankbook and the card again.

The same question as before.

 

 

The reporters sighed.

 

 

“Haa… What is he trying to do… It’s just distracting… Huh?”

 

Then, some people suddenly raised their heads with a flash of thought.

 

 

“Stat account! You can now save useless stats as points and transfer them to useful stats!!”

“W-What??”

Some reporters jumped up from their seats.

 

 

“That’s not all!”

 

 

Yoo-eun is waving the account around.

 

 

“What does it mean to have an account? It means there’s a bank. What does it mean to have a bank?”

 

 

People’s mouths dropped open.

 

 

“That’s right! It means there are investment products. You no longer need to dangerously explore dungeons. Leave that to adventurers who are brave and skilled enough to go through dungeons, and you just invest.

Ah. You don’t have stats? Don’t worry NONO! Me and Harem Palace will open stats and stat accounts for those people.”

 

 

“!!!”

“That’s impossible!”

 

This alone was surprising enough, but Yoo-eun’s words were not over yet.

 

 

“And I said that the purpose of that building boils down to one thing, right? What the hell is that!”

 

This time, he took out a poker card from his pocket.

 

 

“Ta-da! Do you know what this is?”

 

 

Now people didn’t ignore it.

They stared intently with bloodshot eyes.

 

 

“Ah, don’t look at me like that. This is just an ordinary poker card.”

“….”

“Why did I take this out? Everyone, you get tired of living life. You get annoyed, and the old boss is always nagging you for nothing, and the junior can’t even do what you tell them to do properly. How hard is it.

 

 

At that time!

 

 

Come here, see the open view from the 200-meter observatory, enjoy the super-luxury hotel service, and heal. Ah. Buy some luxury goods too!

 

 

And play this poker too. Ah, of course, there are many other things besides poker. You can do whatever you want.”

 

 

“Could it be gambling??”

 

“Anyone can enjoy this ‘Stat Casino’ with just a little bit of stats. We never covet your money. I have a lot of money. You just have to enjoy it.

 

Even if you come empty-handed! We’ll open stats for you, and we’ll create a stat account for you. It’s all free. Ah, and starting next week, we’re going to give away a total of one million stats to commemorate the opening, on a first-come, first-served basis! We’ll give 100 points of stats to 10,000 people each.

 

 

Of course, for free.”
