Guild House

,Wow, you gathered them super fast!”

,”…Huh?”

Instead of luck, I poured in time, and I got triggered by what the bootlicker said.

,”Ahem… Shall we make some equipment then?”

At my reaction, the bootlicker quickly changed the subject and headed to the workshop they owned.

The bootlicker is more serious about Leore than I thought, owning a house and workshop that are hard to get.

As soon as I entered the workshop, I was amazed to see the bootlicker taking off their assassin outfit and putting on a blacksmith outfit.

Anna is the aloof and charismatic type, Pinku Berry gives off a pure library-nunim (older sister) vibe, Soonchu is the university goddess and popular kid rumored to be the prettiest in school, and the bootlicker without their mask gives off a gentle puppy vibe.

But they’re also tall and their body looks pretty good, like someone who works out. Of course, you can modify it with character customization, but physical aspects can’t be changed much, so it means they maintain that body to some extent in real life.

,”Bootlicker, do you like working out?”

,”I used to do track and field.”

,”You did track and field? That’s amazing!”

,”On top of that, I even went to the Olympics as a national athlete. Of course, I didn’t win a medal.”

,”You went to the Olympics!? Wow… You’re more normal than I thought…?”

,”Wait, hold on. Arang-nim, what do you think of me!?”

,”A pervert?”

,”Ack.”

Honestly, I can’t think of someone who uses a nickname that attaches ‘bootlicker’ to my name as a normal person.

But I was surprised. I thought they were just someone who liked to work out, but to think they did track and field, became a national athlete, and even went to the Olympics.

There’s definitely a reason why they’re number one among assassins. They have that level of physique in real life.

But why is this person like this.

,”I’m not a pervert…”

,”If someone who named themselves ‘Arang’s Bootlicker’ isn’t a pervert, then who is?”

,”I just like feet!”

,”That’s what you call being a pervert.”

,”Ah… No way…”

Could it be that they weren’t aware they were a pervert? This person is weirder than I thought.

Even while talking to me, the bootlicker wasn’t looking at me, but was diligently making equipment with the materials in front of them.

,”It’s not just made with a few taps, huh.”

,”Yeah. It’s not made by pressing a button, but you have to process the materials like playing mini-games and then make the equipment.”

,”Wow… Sounds annoying just hearing it…”

,”So. Not many people do blacksmithing among the life skills. That’s why you earn a lot of gold.”

The bootlicker diligently started making the equipment I would wear.

I had a lot of questions, but I couldn’t bring myself to talk to them because they looked so serious.

They really look cool like this…

Time passed and the equipment I would wear was completed.

Every single one of them has an appearance that I don’t like, but that can be replaced with costumes, and right now, instead of that, I thanked the bootlicker who worked hard to make them for me.

,”Hehe. It’s nothing! Instead, at the… meetup…”

,”Yes. Of course.”

,”Thank you!!!”

,”I’m also grateful that you made my equipment. I’ll definitely repay you.”

,”If you need to enhance or make equipment next time, please ask me! Definitely! Especially shoes!”

,”Shoes?”

,”Yes!”

,”Is there something different about them?”

,”Ah, would you like to take a look at the equipment I made?”

Creator: Arang’s Bootlicker

Since it’s the latest equipment, the specs were definitely on a different level from dungeon equipment. The options were also quite good.

As I read through the specs, the last line caught my eye.

Creator: Arang’s Bootlicker

That’s why they’re doing this.

,”The creator’s name is engraved.”

,”Yes. That’s what makes me proud as a blacksmith!”

,”Thank you. I’ll come back if I need anything else.”

,”Yes! Please ask me anytime!”

There’s still a lot of time left until the next season update.

What I need to do now is to grow the guild well. First of all, what’s needed is a guild house that will make the guild even tighter.

The problem is that it’s hard to get a house even in Leore.

The problem isn’t that it’s hard because you need a lot of money, but that there aren’t many spots.

It’s hard to get a house even in this game world.

Usually, house systems in RPG games are designed so that everyone can get one easily, but Leore was different.

Leore is a virtual world and it emphasizes realism so much that it’s absurd that the world itself is different from reality.

It’s just a fantasy world itself.

So, the part where you can get a house isn’t infinite, but finite. So, the problem with houses isn’t gold, but the spot.

Then how can you get a house?

When I looked it up, if a user who owns a house doesn’t log in for a month, or if they don’t pay the taxes for owning a house for two months, the house is automatically demolished and disappears.

Then the emptied house is sealed, and after a week, the seal is randomly lifted and people can live there.

Originally, you could buy it right away when a house was demolished, but there were too many people doing cash transactions with it, so they decided on this method.

Because of that, when a house is demolished and a spot opens up, many users gather in front of that house and wait.

In order to get that house in front of the house that might open up anytime during the week.

And I’m also diligently going to a house that has appeared. To wait for it.

Well, of course, it’s not like I’m waiting all week. The important thing is that this place is a house that has already passed 5 days out of the week.

In other words, it means I can get it if I wait for only 2 days.

On top of that, it’s a large house, so it’s perfect to use as a guild house. That’s why I went to the house with a fluttering heart, which is located in a large empty lot on the outskirts of the big city.

As soon as I arrived, there were countless people waiting for the seal on this house to be lifted.

I have to break through all those people and buy the house as soon as the seal is lifted.

The number of people alone is over 30.

I was about to naturally enter the crowd of people when.

,”Oh!? It’s Arang!”

A user recognized me and shouted. Starting with that shout, the people around me started looking at me.

,”Wow, so cute… Crazy!”

I was slightly flustered by the people who rushed towards me in an instant, but now I’ve gotten used to this to some extent while playing Leore.

,”Hello.”

,”Arang-nim, did you come to buy a house too?”

A user said to me.

,”Yes. I’m trying to get a guild house.”

,”Ah, that’s right. You made a guild this time! I applied this time too, but I failed…”

,”Ah, is that so.”

People are diligently taking screenshots of me and looking at me as if they’re looking at their daughter. But even while that’s happening, I’m diligently opening the house settings window and spamming the purchase button.

I have to be careful because it could be released right now.

But I have to talk to people as much as possible.

Why? To make them let their guard down. If they talk to me, they’ll definitely pay less attention to buying the house, and then the chances of me buying it will increase even more.

,”What are you all going to do if you buy this house?”

,”I’m just going to use it for decoration!”

,”I’m going to use it as a guild house too.”

In a situation that suddenly turned into a fan meeting, I smiled inwardly. Good, everyone, focus on me like this.

Because I’m going to buy this house.

While smiling and talking to people, I moved my right hand behind my back and moved my right hand at an almost macro-like speed, pressing the purchase button, turning off the purchase unavailable button, and going back in to press the purchase button again.

It’s something I couldn’t have imagined in the past, but now that my physical ability is top-notch, I pressed the button without any problems to buy the house without even looking at the settings window.

After 2 hours, it’s starting to get boring because the seal hasn’t been lifted yet.

People have already lost interest in me, and everyone is just sitting anywhere and diligently pressing their fingers.

,”Arang-a~”

While I was wriggling on the floor like a squid and diligently moving my fingers, I heard Soonchu’s voice.

,”It’s still not open?”

,”Yeah. Nothing has happened yet-!?”

,”Arang-a?”

I sensed it instantly.

The feeling of managing the pre-delay and post-delay when using a skill and whether the system recognizes that skill or not opened up.

I pulled up my senses as much as possible.

I stopped moving my fingers, put my hand on the purchase button, and waited.

Entrusting myself to the feeling I felt, I pressed the purchase button with a reaction of less than 0.1 seconds the moment the feeling of the system opening exploded in my brain.

-Ttiriring.

I smiled when I heard the cheerful notification sound instead of the negative alarm sound.

,”Hehehehe.”

,”Ack!? No way!”

,”Ah!!! I went to the bathroom!”

,”Wow! It’s suddenly being released here!? Ah, bullshit!”

,”I can’t miss this! Haa… I’m going crazy.”

I smiled and showed Soonchu and Pinku Berry the so-called gyaru peace that I had learned.

,”Heok. Arang-a, did you succeed?”

,”Yeah. Who do you think I am! I’m the munchkin cat guild leader!”
