Chapter 33: Dorong Server (4)
by NovelpiaI filled the materials container in the factory with gravel blocks.
By my calculations, all the materials would be used up in about 4-5 hours.
Then I can just play around until the materials are used up, and then refill them before I go to sleep, right?
I grinned and moved to the plaza.
Although it’s my second day playing on the server, this is my first time going to the plaza.
Did about a minute pass?
The buildings in the plaza are starting to come into view.
It looks much more splendid and lively than I thought.
[“Oh? Naru!”]
However, the sightseeing ended there.
I heard a familiar voice from somewhere in the plaza.
[“Naru, where on earth have you been?”]
It was our Wonderland’s oldest unni, Shiro-sensei.
“Ah, I got a hidden job and was building a factory.”
[“Huh?”]
Did I say it too simply?
It was a natural reaction since I had shortened it so much.
I felt awkward and explained the detailed circumstances.
[“So you became a factory owner?”]
“You could say that.”
[“Then is all the work related to that factory finished?”]
“Yes, I just have to put in gravel blocks every hour.”
[“Haha…”]
Shiro-unni gave a hollow laugh and continued speaking.
[“What are you planning to do now? Do you have a plan?”]
“No, I was just thinking of looking around here and there.”
As soon as my words ended, Shiro-unni took something out with a wicked-sounding voice.
[“Anyway, you have to receive punishment for abandoning us, right?”]
What does that mean?
Punishment?
Also, what’s that ticket in her hand?
At the sudden feeling of anxiety, I started to run away from her.
[“Naru, let’s talk again after you’ve paid for your sins…!”]
Ding-!
Along with a bell sound from who knows where, the screen flickered for a moment and my character was moved to a mysterious place.
The place I’m standing in now is.
[“Giririn, you b*stard!!!!”]
Impel Down, filled with resentment and screams.
This… it seems I’ve been hit with a forced imprisonment ticket.
<Time Remaining: 15:00>
And she generously put me in for the full 15 minutes.
[lol]
[Release,,,the nun,,,right,,,now,,,!]
[Busted]
[“Kiyoooooot!!!”]
Is this for real?
Around here, there are only crazy people.
First, from the victim and perpetrator exchanging taunts.
[“Giririn, you b*stard, open up!!!”]
[“Kyahahaha! This is your karma, you b*tch!”]
Then, the victim who went crazy from a donation-based unfair trick.
[“Ehehe…! Kiyatto-hou!!!]
Finally, a prisoner who is silently mining stone with ‘2 hours’ written as their remaining sentence.
[“…”]
No matter how I look at it, this place was a space that best suited the name ‘mental asylum’.
[“Hweh, Naru-unni! What are you doing there?”]
As I was looking at the scene from hell, another familiar voice came from behind me.
“Gasp, Choa, did you come to save me?”
[“No? I got caught too!”]
It seems Choa also got caught for committing some wrongdoing.
[“But unni, what have you been doing until now? I don’t think I’ve seen you once.”]
Hmm, so the story hasn’t reached Choa yet.
I calmly gave her the same explanation I had given to Shiro-unni earlier.
[“I see.”]
Fortunately, Choa just listened to that explanation and showed her agreement.
Actually, rather than agreeing, it seemed like she wasn’t saying much because she was thinking of using the money I would earn later.
But since it’s better than getting nagged, I just stayed quiet.
“By the way, why are you here, Choa? I came here because Shiro-unni forcibly imprisoned me.”
[“I got caught stealing Jena-unni’s diamonds.”]
So she came here because she got caught stealing.
By the way, her name tag is a bit red, could it be…
Click
<WonderLand_Choa>
…
<Accumulated Imprisonment Time>
-3 hours 42 minutes 23 seconds
What on earth did she do for her accumulated imprisonment time to be almost 4 hours?
When I opened Choa’s profile, an incredible criminal record came out.
An incredible accumulated time that I wondered if it wasn’t the server’s highest record.
It seems she enjoyed a spectacular outlaw life in many ways.
“Choa, what did you do for your accumulated imprisonment time to be so long?”
[“I got retaliation for stealing the CEO’s unique weapon!”]
She wasn’t an outlaw, but a Jean Valjean.
(TL Note: Jean Valjean is the protagonist of Les Misérables, famously imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread.)
At the surprisingly absurd reason for her imprisonment, a hollow laugh escaped me.
[You didn’t just steal that, you know lol]
[Ahem, cuckoos are banned.]
(TL Note: ppeokkugi or ‘cuckoo’ is slang for backseat gaming or spoiling things for the streamer.)
[The worst criminal in history lol]
Looking at the chat’s reaction, it seems there’s more.
Whether it’s theft or another crime.
It seems a reason to be wary of Choa has arisen.
I shouldn’t give her item acquisition rights to the house I’ll build later.
[“For your information, if you mine stone here, your sentence is reduced by 1 second, you know?”]
Oh, as expected of a convict.
Perhaps because she’s a human who has spent more time in prison than in her own home, she mines skillfully.
[“Eheung~♩”]
And while humming a tune.
She pulls out the best efficiency with very natural control.
…I can’t lose either.
I have to get out at least before Choa.
Following her, I begin the infinite mining.
After mining for about 5 minutes, I finally obtained the fruit of my release.
Fortunately, I got out earlier than Choa.
Actually, there wasn’t much of a time difference… but what’s important is that I got out even a little earlier.
I nodded my head and moved to the place where the other members had set up their base.
Of course, on the way, I bought two imprisonment tickets.
I could get caught again if I go now, right?
[Only thinking about revenge lol]
[???: I can’t be the only one to suffer]
[Ah lol, you go to jail too]
The Loser-kuns’ reactions were different from what I thought…
I really didn’t think that.
I can swear on my heart that I bought them simply for self-defense.
[Thank you for your 2,000 won donation, ‘Anonymous Unicorn’-nim!]
[Right, you have to share delicious things]
“I said no, I sincerely bought them for self-defense.”
As I bickered and moved, I arrived at the members’ location.
Right now, Shiro-unni was guarding the place.
[“Oh my, did our Naru pay her debt and get out?”]
What’s that white substance again?
Shiro-unni saw me and threw something with a smile.
It was literally fresh tofu.
That white and square tofu.
It seems to be something like a celebration for getting out of prison.
“Y-you’re not thinking of putting me back in or anything, are you?”
[“Hey, what are you talking about. I even prepared tofu like this.”]
Her words are ambiguously sincere.
What she said itself is true, but it seems there’s a hidden meaning…
[“I’ve forgiven everything.”]
Ah, I’ve realized.
I was on the fence, but her last words made it certain.
The reason why she specifically emphasized the word ‘I’.
It means that the retribution from Jena-unni and Sea-unni, whom I haven’t met yet, still remains.
[“Unni… I bought the seeds…”]
Speak of the devil…
I was about to run away as soon as I heard Shiro-unni’s words, but I ran into Jena-unni.
Since it has come to this, I can’t even run away.
[“Uh… Naru?”]
What is that unni planning to do?
Now I had to respond, not flee.
Choa didn’t seem to have any thoughts, so it passed.
Shiro-unni passed with the prison experience.
Jena-unni… I don’t know what she’ll do.
That unni also seems normal on the outside, but sometimes she has her madman moments.
[“It was too much of you to leave us…”]
Oof, the part of my heart in charge of conscience stung.
I hadn’t really recognized it until now.
But after meeting the members and talking, I thought that even I had been a bit too much.
“What can I do to be forgiven…?”
In times like these, rather than struggling to avoid the situation.
The best way is to face reality and take the aftermath head-on.
Because even if it’s painful for now, there will be no trouble later.
In that sense, this time, I decide to take Jena-unni’s aftermath.
[“Then… can you do a real-life joint broadcast with me when I play BH7…?”]
Is she talking about Bio-Hazardous 7?
That BH7 I got as a penalty from the wish ticket a long time ago?
I didn’t know she still hadn’t done it.
“It’s possible.”
Whatever it was, it was a good condition for me.
I’ve been exposed to all sorts of horror materials since I was young, but I’ve never once thought they were scary.
Rather, it’s a chance to see Jena-unni shrieking in person…
Not bad, right?
I showed my agreement and then looked around the house the members had built.
I thought there would be nothing special since it’s only the 3rd day, but there was more than I thought.
To think that a 5-story giant farm and even an enchanting table setup were all built.
Somehow, my feeling of apology grew bigger.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
But it won’t change anything now.
For now, I’ll help with some small errands.
And later, if I distribute the money duplicated from the gold ingot factory, it will be resolved to some extent.
[“No one is watching the 4th floor, can you harvest the carrots that have grown and plant the seeds?”]
Huh, the errand I was thinking of wasn’t this?
The errand I was thinking of was to buy something from somewhere, or to get something.
What Shiro-unni just requested was labor at a Kolkhoz, that is, a collective farm.
[Going for a walk?]
[Na]
[Rak]
[Shiro, this isn’t right]
[Writer, my hands and feet are dripping and my eyes are trembling…]
Not the manual labor site again…
If I do endless manual labor again, the Loser-kuns will surely explode…!
I shook my head, looking at the chat window where public opinion had hit rock bottom.
“Is there no other work…?”
[“Hmm? Didn’t you say you’d do whatever I asked?”]
“I don’t mind, but the chat window in my room is a mess…”
After a 10-second silence that followed that statement.
As if she had seen the chat window in my room, Shiro-unni quickly agreed and gave me another mission.
[“If it seems difficult, go and catch Sea. She’s probably at the gambling den.”]
A forced apprehension mission…
“Yes, I’ll try.”
I can already smell a clip-worthy moment, so there’s no reason to refuse.
“I’ll be back.”
Just you wait, you gambling addict, Officer Naru is coming to get you
