“Wow…”

I’ve been browsing Gyeong-hyeong and Sae-ron’s point shop all day, and my eyes are watering.

However, it was quite rewarding because there were results.

[Corrumbiatus fungus: 100 points]

‘The natural enemy of every tree in existence.’

‘It is a parasite on trees and reproduces at a rapid rate, but because it has a certain level of intelligence, it does not kill the tree and repeats reproduction for several years.’

‘The fruiting body that produces spores looks like a beautiful flower.’

‘It protects the host by providing strong toxicity and vitality.’

“Hmm…”

It is an object that appears to be very suitable for suppressing a supernatural entity called ‘Guardian Tree’, which is changing the body of the old man into a tree.

It may seem a bit dangerous, but if you have this, you can kill two birds with one stone by stopping erosion while maintaining the tree’s abilities.

[Naturalistic Meditation: 100 points]

‘Why is there a need to distinguish between oneself and nature?’

‘A firm, unwavering spirit becomes the pillar of the body and soul.’

‘Like a tree that becomes part of nature just by standing there.’

‘You yourself will also exist there and become a part of the whole and a person who exists alone.’

Although the results of the evaluation were quite a bit like a ghost wash away, after analyzing them together with my team members, we came to the conclusion that we could prevent Saeron’s presence from disappearing.

Even if you can’t stop it, it won’t matter if you can control its presence with your own will.

“Ha… It’s good that I found something useful, but I don’t have enough points!”

“That’s right. There are 80 points left…”

After thinking for a moment, Gyeong-gyeong looks at me and smiles.

“Then I guess I’ll just have to stick close to Han-gil from now on?”

“That’s right! I heard from Letel that you earned several points while doing ‘jobs’ at ‘ordinary small and medium-sized companies’?”

“…That’s true, but it’ll be burdensome if you rely on it too much, so do it in moderation.”

They smiled slightly and nodded at what I said.

-Thank you for your effort. Mr. Hangil.

“Ah, thank you, Rael.”

Rael places coffee and refreshments on the table, bows in a polite gesture, and quietly sits behind me.

No, it would be more accurate to say that I am wealthy.

“Uhm…”

Whatever it is, this kind of treatment is quite burdensome.

“Rael. Instead of being like that, why don’t you sit down and eat together?”

-It is unbelievable for a maid to be humble with the person she serves.

“Huh? Haven’t we already had lunch together?”

-…Well, that was a mistake I made when my position was not yet solidified. Please forgive me.

“What is your position? I’m sure you’ve said it several times that you’re on equal footing with us. Don’t be like that, sit down. You like to eat.”

-…If you say it that way, doesn’t it seem like I’m a greedy pig…!

Rael, whose face was red, protested, but when I smiled slyly, he pretended not to be able to resist and sat next to me.

-I can’t help it…Well, then, I’ll eat it well…

“There’s no need to say that. You brought it in the first place, right? Eat whatever you want.”

-…thank you.

She picked up a cookie with her telekinesis and took a small bite, then pursed her mouth in a cultured manner with a happy face.

“Ahaha. Rael really enjoys eating. It’s surprising that he eats neatly at the same time.”

“That’s right. I tried following it once, but it wasn’t easy.”

Saeron, who was grinning, took out his smart phone and was taking pictures of Lael eating refreshments.

“Saeron. Isn’t that a bit like that?”

“Huh? What?”

“No, no matter how ghostly you are, your right to portrait must be protected. Even more so if you are a victim of the Constellation community.”

-I’m fine. Since I’m just a toy, I won’t be able to resist anyway…

“Oh, I won’t film it! You just don’t film it! If you hear me say that, you’ll think I’m some kind of criminal!”

“Isn’t voyeurism a criminal?”

“Even Gyeong-gu oppa is like that!? He even took a video of Lael’s mukbang from me!”

“Huh? Did you?”

“Oh, no, that’s…”

Gyeong-gyeong, who was a little embarrassed, scratches his head.

“To be honest, I get vicarious satisfaction when I see Rael eating. He eats very deliciously and happily, and he’s cultured so there’s nothing that bothers me… So if you eat on the go, you end up eating more than usual?”

“Ah, I agree with that. I heard you’ve fallen in love with the fun of feeding Lael these days?”

Eun No-eul suddenly joins in and sits down next to me, munching on her refreshments.

“Have you written all the reports?”

“Yes. The changes to ‘ordinary small and medium-sized companies,’ the information and current situation of ‘terrible large corporations,’ the current situation and dangers of the Constellation community… I thought I was losing my mind trying to organize all of that.”

“You worked hard. Would you like some coffee?”

-Ah, hmm! Yes, I will do it! Please sit down!

As I stood up, Rael, who had quickly chewed and swallowed his snack, pressed down on my shoulder.

“Ahh! I should have filmed that just now! You missed a very rare shot!”

“Ahahaha. Rael sometimes shows himself like that. It’s refreshing and fun.”

-Ugh, ugh…please don’t tease me…!

Rael, who blushed with embarrassment, hurriedly flew to the bathroom.

Noeul looked at that sight happily and lamented.

“The problem is that Rael looks so cute these days. I just want to do this and that and I can’t help it. Am I possessed?”

“It’s the same for us, so probably not.”

“Hehe…How about you, Hangil? Did you find any items or skills for Oppa Gyeong and Saeron?”

“Ah. I’m anxious, but what can I do? Ah, that’s right. Using points to increase your physical abilities or resistance is one solution, but…”

“That costs a ton of points, right?”

“So I gave up a long time ago.”

There was a lot more variety in the [Purchase Physical Abilities] section of the point shop than I expected.

This is something I learned something new while taking a closer look.

From things that anyone can think of, such as strength or agility, to increasing the ‘length or width of a specific body part’ and ‘granting specific attributes’, even details such as ‘reflexes’, ‘body vision’, and ‘prowess’ can be pointed out. was able to invest.

Well, those details also differed from person to person.

Maybe talent or potential affects the purchase list, but I don’t know for sure.

Anyway, after examining everything through my emotions, I was able to find out things that could prevent the erosion of supernatural entities.

These are things like ‘wisdom’, ‘spirituality’, and ‘change tolerance’.

However, you really need a lot of points to invest in those things.

According to the [Point Shop] system, [Purchase Physical Abilities] can only be increased by 1 at a time, and the points that must be consumed are doubled each time it is increased.

For example, Strength costs 10 points to increase by the first 1.

At this point it already seems shockingly expensive, but it costs 20 points for the second and 40 for the third.

In other words, it takes a whopping 70 points to increase strength by 3.

I’ve never tried increasing my physical abilities before, so I’m not sure how dramatic the effect will be, but to be honest, it feels incredibly inefficient.

“Hmm, well, Urtega is probably the only one who can invest that many points into himself.”

“…Urtega is the madman who is said to be quarantined in the Bureau?”

“Huh? You heard it from Retel? That’s right. That woman is really crazy about becoming stronger. I don’t know, but she must have invested thousands of points into [purchasing physical abilities]?”

“Thousands of points, how on earth did you get so many points? Am I the same?”

“Hmm… It’s much more direct and efficient than that. She gets points every time she kills something.”

“…what?”

I looked up in surprise at the unexpected words and saw Noeul snickering.

“Barrett Urtega’s first post was, ‘Isn’t it too hard to collect points?’ The content included a photo of Barrett Urtega and the caption, ‘I wish all lives had points. Then I would have killed them all.’ ‘There was.’

“Huh…”

“From the Constellation’s point of view, it was just a lament, but for Barrett Urtega, it wasn’t. From that day on, she was able to see the point of all life in her eyes.”

“No matter how much the Constellation said, is something like that possible? Looking at the content of the post, it seems like the Constellation can’t actually do that?”

“Maybe there are some restrictions or something like that?”

“…So, Urtega killed someone?”

“No. I heard that it started with insects like ants and spiders. Then it started killing large animals like cats and dogs. It must have been a few years later that it started killing people.”

“……”

“At that point, she was already broken. Her existing values and ethics were horribly distorted and she became a madman who only sought strength.”

Wow!

She chews the cookie and looks at me, then looks around at the others.

“That’s the end result of accumulating countless ‘karma’. So everyone, be careful when using the [Point Shop]. It may seem convenient, but it’s an absurd system that costs more than just points. I don’t want to attack a former colleague with my own hands. ”

-Noeul. Here’s coffee.

“Ah! Thank you, Rael. I’ll drink it well.”

-It’s nothing special.

Rael smiled calmly and bowed politely. His eyes glanced towards the refreshments.

Seeing that, Noeul smiled bitterly and patted the seat next to her.

“Rael. If you want to eat, sit down and eat. You don’t have to worry about others.”

-Oh, no. I don’t dare do that…

“I was eating well just a moment ago. Rael, do you know that you are secretly behaving as you please?

-yes yes!? Sorry! I never intended to rebel or be rude…

“Oh, you’re telling me that apologizing for something like that will only make me feel distant? It’s not something you should apologize for in the first place. Rael, I already know that you’re secretly a jerk.”

-More, it’s shaking…!?

“I’m just upset. You like being around Han-gil oppa, but you don’t like being around me?”

-No, it was never like that!

“Really? Then sit here.”

When Noeul patted the seat next to him again, Rael sat down hesitantly, as if he was sorry, and quietly picked up a snack.

“delicious?”

-…yes. It’s really delicious.

When I see Lael smiling and moving his mouth eagerly like a flower bud blooming, I can’t help but smile happily.

“…uh?”

At that time, a translucent blue window blocked the view.

[A series of terrible and difficult trials await you!]

[Remaining time: 24 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds]

“…what?”

I looked up in shock and saw that my other colleagues also had surprised faces, but their eyes were only directed at the hologram window in front of me.

“Hangil. That’s…!”

“Just my brother this time…?”

“Everyone, calm down! Oppa Han-gil! Quickly check the constellation community!”

“Ugh…! Ah, I understand. Damn. What is this all of a sudden…”

It seems I was the only one who saw the hologram window pop up.

I quickly opened the constellation community and immediately saw a post written by 666.

[G-666 Title: I don’t know the source of the photo either! Stop sending messages!]

[Content: (Photos of ordinary people being chased by a group of fanatics) No, one day, photos like this keep popping up in the Akashic Records. What should I do? I don’t know what the cause is? Please stop sending messages! I’m going to get neurotic if I keep doing this!]

[comment]

[G-088: Another new photo haha. If you don’t know, who knows? Haha. It’s used when saying nice things. Do you want to see me go crazy?]

┗[G-666: No, I really don’t know? I just wrote it because I thought I could write about an image that caught my eye! I think I’m going crazy! The message box is already bursting!]

┗[G-198: And aren’t you secretly monopolizing the silent dimension? If that’s the case, it’s a real dimensional war. If I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it!]

┗[G-666: You crazy guy! I really don’t know!]

┗[G-088: Whoa, calm down, buddy. We just want to get even the smallest clue. Can you guess anything?]

┗[G-666: Would I be doing this if I knew that!? If that were really the case, I wouldn’t have even joined the community to look for the silent dimension! Oh, it’s so frustrating that I’m going crazy!]

┗[G-332: Isn’t this a high-level deception? In fact, they have already made all the people in that photo into apostles and are secretly bragging about it?]

┗[G-266: Wow, it’s creepy if they’re really doing this.]

┗[G-152: 666, disclose the source of the photo with sincerity!]

┗[G-467: I’m really asking you, so can you just tell me where the silent dimension is? I’ll give you points.]

┗[G-666: You bastards don’t know! Wow, this is really driving me crazy! Don’t send me a message! Do not apply for point trading! Don’t even send me an application for dimensional travel! What are you going to do when you come to my dimension!? go away! Shut up, you crazy things!]

┗[G-218: Oh, I don’t know! Give me the silent dimension! Give it up quickly!]

┗[G-477: When you speak in good terms, information is released quickly. Just imagining playing with the silent dimension is driving me crazy.]

“Uh, um…”

The power of comments from other constellations was so great that it was not easy to check 666’s comments.

I think 666 is under a lot of stress.

┗[G-414: 666 Oh, you’ve been through a lot. I’m also being bombarded because of my old posts…]

┗[G-666: Are you like that too? Ah, this time you chaebol bastards. Is there really nothing to do?]

┗[G-414: There isn’t much, right? But 666 Ah. Does one of the people in your photo look like the same person as the person in the photo I have?]

┗[G-666: What? really?]

┗[G-414: Yes. Even if you look at it from a different angle, it’s really pretty… It feels like fate at this point. I liked it. If I discover the voiceless dimension, I must make that woman my apostle. So, some information.]

┗[G-666: Are you doing this too!?]

┗[G-245: There…in that picture…there’s also…the woman in the picture I have…]

┗[G-666: What? No, why are they all gathered together in the photos I have?]

┗[G-187: You bastard 666! As expected, you have information! Can’t I say it right?]

┗[G-666: No, I really don’t. Ha, this is really driving me crazy. It’s been a long time since I started holding a grudge. What if I’m looking for a silent dimension? Then I don’t know what I’m going to do to the people in that photo…]

┗[G-414: Don’t touch the golden-haired woman because I liked it.]

┗[G-245: I also want to take charge of the red-haired woman…]

┗[G-088: What, if I save it here, 666 will secretly take care of it? Then I want it too! The girl over there with the faint presence of black hair is mine!]

┗[G-136: Then I’ll take a big guy! You have a well-trained body!]

┗[G-222: If I tell you here in advance, I can add it to my list…? Then, I will make it a ghost in a maid uniform…]

┗[G-666: No, guys. It’s no use talking here… I really don’t know anything…?]

┗[G-088: Don’t act like a fool! 666! Come on, blow the information! Where is the silent dimension!? What kind of trials are being imposed on the apostles!]

┗[G-666: Oh, really…I couldn’t even find the voiceless dimension, but the ordeal was a mess…Everyone has added it to their list, so is that black-haired man the only one left? If I could really put that guy through an ordeal, it would be a terrible, difficult experience! Control it to the point where you never die! I will torment you forever!]

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Those of us who read the Constellation Community were speechless and pursed our lips.

No, I feel so unfair about this.

-uh? uh? What is this?

Meanwhile, Rael was confused as the Constellation community opened before his eyes.
