Chapter Index

    Day 177 of the Fog Forest.

    munition factory.

    Ji-ing~

    Tuk.

    thud! thud!

    Cheeek!!!-

    melt something

    Hold the frame.

    Knocking.

    Heat it up.

    The mechanical device began its work.

    Inside the factory, various sounds suddenly formed a rhythm at regular intervals.

    “I never thought it would be this much in just one day… .”

    Okay.

    I grabbed a sword and raised it.

    It was a hot, mass-produced sword that had just been completed.

    In addition, right next to it, iron ingots and alloys were being produced separately.

    This will greatly increase the efficiency of workers.

    “I can’t help but admire it.”

    It just gave me direction.

    Elf.

    human.

    Dwarf.

    When the three races put their heads together, a result that exceeded expectations was born. It has become much easier to handle materials as well as mass-produced weapons.

    “Hmph! That’s because I designed it myself. I stayed up all night because of this.”

    Volkan came next to me.

    Although he was dissatisfied with the mass-produced product, he also showed a strange sense of pride.

    He smiled and nodded.

    Although it was presented as a union of the three races, Volkan’s role was actually very large. This is because he and the dwarves created all the buildings, weapons blueprints, and devices.

    If it hadn’t been for his instructions in the first place, I wouldn’t have had any idea how to build it.

    The level of technology is just high.

    When we first met, he brought out something like a strange portable furnace and cyberpunk-style goggles, so his original technology level must have been far from that of the Earth.

    So, I guess I should praise you for your hard work.

    “I’ll make you amazing snacks and drinks.”

    Hehe!!!

    “Keuhum!! Haha!!!… No, whatever. That’s not what I was hoping for.”

    “… … … .”

    Even if you pretend, it’s a lie.

    He shakes his mustache.

    Kwaaeng~ Kyaang~

    I shook my head and looked at the factory again.

    It’s quite nice to hear a mechanical hammer hitting something in a steady rhythm.

    knife.

    Armor.

    Although it only has basic items, this factory will be able to quickly make up for the lack of weapons.

    Resources are no problem.

    You can dig up gemstones using stems that extend deep into the ground, and above all, once you send out elves and humans on patrol, they collect a bundle of items from scrappers.

    Equipment from discarded corpses.

    All you have to do is melt it down and recycle it.

    This was only possible because it was a forest of fog. This place was full of corpses, fertilizers and nutrients, as well as lost weapons.

    Then all that’s left is supply… .

    It should not be distributed haphazardly.

    Even if the village’s power is strengthened right now, it is not very good for power generation.

    What the village currently lacks is a circular consumption system.

    We will disseminate this in a way that solves this problem.

    Here’s how:

    1. Create currency.

    2. Give value to money.

    3. Create a structure where people naturally produce, consume, and trade with currency.

    First of all, number 1 is not difficult.

    Because it will be printed at the factory.

    “Let’s make currency like this!”

    Just then, Shaella brought a coin.

    It seemed like Shaella and Volkan had discussed it and made it in advance while I was away.

    There were a total of 8 currencies.

    3 of the same color.

    3 silver ones.

    2 gold ones.

    The size of the coin is about the width of a liquor bottle cap.

    Since it can be melted into an alloy of copper, silver, and gold to make equipment, the coin itself also has value.

    but.

    “What is this… .

    The picture on the currency was strange.

    A drawing of an elf holding hands with a human.

    Illustration of a tree and a fairy.

    A picture of a dryad.

    This is okay… .

    Smirk.

    “What’s the problem?”

    “Why are you here?”

    gold and silver.

    The pictures on the high-value coins either had Shaella’s face on them, or showed her stroking a bud.

    “After. It came out okay.”

    “… Am I the sprout here?”

    “Then who else is there besides you?”

    “… … … .”

    I never thought they would do something like this.

    There are a lot of things I want to discuss, but… .

    What should I do now? It’s my fault for not paying attention to climbing the tower.

    From the beginning, I was planning on leaving it to Shaella.

    blast furnace.

    “Please work hard in the future.”

    “Huh? You’re not saying much?”

    “What did you want me to say?”

    “No, well~ It’s just bland. I’ll have the elves distribute the currency.”

    The village economy was left to Shaella.

    Hence number 2.

    Gives value to currency.

    Shaella will solve this well.

    Basically, you will be able to use currency to purchase weapons from factories, use clothes, and use convenience facilities, among other things. Then, the currency will naturally gain value and be used.

    It won’t be that difficult.

    Distribution is simple.

    A certain amount of goods is distributed to everyone, and from then on, they are distributed as they work.

    Speaking of work… .

    hunt.

    patrol.

    farming.

    Pick up an item.

    Guide new residents.

    Making clothes, cleaning laundry, restrooms, managing amenities such as restaurants, etc.

    I plan to do anything that is beneficial to the village.

    “Please gather everyone!”

    Shaella ordered the elves of the sacred tree to supply goods to the villagers and explained how to receive the goods and what they could do with them.

    People will work harder to earn money, and they will voluntarily strengthen their power by purchasing weapons or trading various items with the goods they have collected.

    I roughly finished what I set out to do.

    They decided to experiment with turning elves into high elves, and attempted to develop the village and strengthen its power by building a factory in the village and distributing currency.

    Now… .

    ‘Is there about 5 hours left?’

    Time to climb the tower again.

    Five hours later, the trial to subdue the corrupted elves begins.

    I guess I should prepare quickly and participate.

    *

    Tiring~

    ◎︎ You can now enter the trial.

    ◎︎ Would you like to move to the trial area?

    It’s tower climbing time again.

    I returned to the human body parked on the 17th floor just in time and checked the system message.

    Now is the time to check.

    What kind of being is a dark elf?

    accept.

    Tiring!

    ◎︎ Move to the trial area ‘Elf’s Paradise’.

    Paaah!!~

    Surrounded by a halo of light.

    In an instant, my vision changed and I looked around to see it lying somewhere in the forest.

    It’s a familiar environment.

    There is no fog, so it feels empty.

    The forest was that kind of place to me.

    “Is there anyone nearby?”

    The location, personality, and number of people summoned for each trial varied greatly. Perhaps this trial will be a test in which everyone competes to fail.

    Rumbling~

    I pulled out some of the stem clothes and separated them.

    Pewook-

    It is a rich soil.

    When I plant a single stem in the ground, I can feel the nutrients of good quality.

    Although it is nothing compared to the Fog Forest, if you use this as a base, you will be able to produce decent nutrients.

    If it wasn’t a recreated world, I would have planted a stem here… It’s a bit disappointing.

    Tiring!

    ◎︎ The trial to subdue the fallen elves has begun.

    ◎︎ Participants explore the forest to solve the main objective.

    After a quick look around, the ordeal began.

    There is no particular explanation.

    You will have to search for information yourself.

    First, I looked again at the goal of the trial.

    ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

    ⊙︎ Subjugation of corrupted elves.

    ┗︎Administrator Mikhail.

    Trial details – The elves who lost the world tree and wandered were covered in magic. Participants must kill the elves and their leader, the dark high elf.

    Main Objective 1 – Survive for a week.

    Main Objective 2 – Extermination of the Elves

    Administrator Comment – Goals may be added or changed depending on the participant’s choice during the trial. There are many fun events, so please participate.

    Reward 1 – Trial score 400p.

    Reward 2 – Public value 6000p.

    Rule 1 – Disposal upon leaving the area.

    Rule 2 – +2p for killing a human.

    Rule 3 – +5p for killing an elf.

    Rule 4 – Points taken when a participant is killed.

    ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

    There are two main goals.

    It’s either survival or the extermination of the elves.

    However, judging from the administrator’s comments, there will be many variables. Perhaps a goal could be added to drift the story itself.

    It’s still just a guess.

    In the end, you have to find out for yourself.

    Sabak.

    I advanced by stepping through the bushes.

    This ordeal is very beneficial to me.

    Because I was born as a world tree, I can observe the peripheral vision of all plants and communion.

    It’s a disaster~

    I closed my eyes for a moment.

    The entire view of the forest is drawn.

    Even if you can’t see, you can tell where the center of the forest is and where it is outside.

    Because I am that kind of being.

    Shaking.

    Pale~

    All plants follow me.

    Everyone welcomes me.

    I feel it.

    It is not visible to the naked eye, but you can tell.

    The presence of spirits living throughout the forest noticed me and clung to me.

    However, they were sad.

    It seemed like he wanted something from me.

    “… Looks like something happened.”

    The more you feel it, the clearer it becomes.

    There is a lot of anger sleeping here.

    Injustice and sadness flowed, and at night, the cold wind would sting my body.

    I can feel the emotions of the forest.

    They are angry.

    Tuk.

    “Can you guide me?”

    He pointed at a tree and said that.

    The tree that had borrowed my strength broke off a branch and fell to the ground.

    I turned my head towards where the branch was heading.

    It was towards the center of the forest.

    Sabak~

    headed there.

    *

    40 minutes have passed since the ordeal began.

    I haven’t run into anyone yet.

    This is because they were able to observe the view of nearby plants, so they avoided all of the same participants.

    The car kept going like that.

    Tuk.

    I stopped for a moment.

    Nearby, 10 minutes away, a female elf could be seen hiding and standing guard.

    I took a quick look through the plant’s perspective.

    Dark brown skin.

    Compared to the pure white elf, it is black, but it is not completely black, but rather a dark copper color.

    He is wearing a hood and mask, and his sharp eyes are noticeable.

    ‘Is that a dark elf?’

    Okay.

    Sabak.

    I turned and walked there.

    After walking for about 5 minutes, the elf noticed me and turned his head.

    Even though the distance is quite long, it feels sharp.

    He was hiding behind a tree, glaring at me and carefully aiming his bow.

    The dark elf did not recognize my identity.

    If you come out as an ordinary human in the first place, even high elves will not know, so it is a natural result.

    Now I am a human, not a world tree.

    To them, you are nothing more than an intruder.

    Kuuk.

    The bowstring is pulled carefully.

    He’s trying to kill me.

    A strong sense of hostility toward humans is felt.

    “I am not human.”

    “… … … ?”

    Is it because of that?

    At my sudden words, the elf lost his breath while trying to shoot his bow.

    You might be wondering who I’m talking to.

    “I have no intention of harming you, so put away your bow. I came here to talk.”

    “… … … .”

    The elf said this while looking at the hiding place.

    Although it was not visible to the naked eye, the dark elf’s eyes were seen wide open through the plant’s vision.

    A look of confusion.

    Staring at me intently.

    There still seems to be a lot of vigilance.

    He seems to be thinking deeply about me.

    Therefore, I reassured him once again.

    “Don’t worry. Actually, I am the world-”

    “Get out!!”

    fault!!

    Swish! Whirrick!!

    “… … … .”

    The elf cursed and ran away.

    Although they didn’t attack, they didn’t seem to have any intention of having a conversation.

    “If I had known this would happen, I would have climbed the tower in the body of an elf… It’s annoying.”

    Okay.

    I followed where the elf fled.

    There seem to be a lot of boundaries, so I guess I should loosen them little by little.

    They looked quite different from ordinary elves, but in the end, they were elves too.

    The elf wanted to help if possible.

    Because I feel like my child.

    First, I plan to understand him.
