Lee Hyun sprinkled the seeds for lettuce in the field at his house .
“I can wrap pork belly in it later to eat . ”
He could easily buy lettuce but then money would be wasted . Eating lettuce, sweet potato, potatoes etc . grown in his field felt good .
The Haven Empire was coming to invade in Royal Road so he didn’t have a lot of time to spend in reality . He needed to establish countermeasures to stop them, raise Time Sculpting and recover the levels he lost in the quest .
Despite being busy, he made sure to spend 30 minutes taking care of the house . All the stress that built up would be cleared by cleaning .
Despite the stations depositing a large sum into his account, Lee Hyun’s life didn’t change .
“The most important thing is to earn money . A job like mine is unstable so I need to collect a lot . ”
He didn’t drink, go to a coffee shop or have any expensive hobbies like watching home shopping .
He saved his income . Once a lump sum was gathered, then he would invest it in land .
“In the future… . I need to give my condolences . All the money spent on education and hospital bills . ”
In South Korea, a lot of money was used to raise their children .
If they didn’t want to fall behind others in this harsh world then it was important to be educated in maths, science and at least two foreign languages from a young age . Instruments such as the violin or piano should also be learned . In order to allow them to see the world, parents might send them abroad to study . There was also skating, shooting, horseback riding and golf .
The potential of children in South Korea was developed to its fullest! If the 24 hours in a day were divided into 10 minute units, most of their lives would be going back and forth to school .
Then there was the intense competition for university admissions and employment .
“Well, I’m afraid of the future . When looking at the television, it is getting hard to hear good news . ”
Lee Hyun felt a tremendous sense of responsibility .
At first he thought a family was more of a burden than a happiness . Meeting someone was something that wasn’t possible in his situation .
His ideal type was a strong woman with vitality . A woman who could take care of business at the market as well as fry a crispy chicken!
Lee Hyun muttered under his breath .
“But I’m already in a relationship so I should take responsibility until the end . ”
In the opposite garden, Seo-yoon was holding a rake and planting pepper seedlings .
A few days ago, he went hiking with her and then shared a deep kiss with her in front of the house . It was a sudden event but the kiss lasted for quite a long time .
In fact, for some reason all the street lights had turned off so there was no need to stop early . The background music playing in the background made it a very good atmosphere .
He intended to release her lips when the song ended . But after a brief hesitation, the next song started playing .
‘Eh, I don’t know . It feels good so I will continue . ’
At least 6 minutes!
Lee Hyun’s thoughts became clear after he kissed her .
‘I have to take responsibility for the rest of my life . I finally have a good woman so I should marry her . ’
These days the world was different . Kissing occurred after meeting for a few days and there was even further progress .
Lee Hyun was old-fashioned in this aspect .
‘My love life is over . Well…it is better to fall in love early since there are a lot of expenses in dating . ’
He heard Seo-yoon’s clear voice .
“Should I plant more?”
“There are enough peppers…change to planting carrots and cucumbers . It should be enough for 5 people to eat . ”
“Yes, I understand . ”
“After planting, mix it well with the fertilizer . Farming is fertilizer . ”
Seo-yoon was wearing comfortable sportswear while working in the field .
Lee Hyun was also clad in sportswear but he looked scruffy compared to Seo-yoon’s brightness . She wore sportswear from a luxurious Italian brand .
If Lee Hyun knew the price of the expensive product then he would lose consciousness and be rushed off by the ambulance .
‘It is good that she can wear sportswear . In the future, we will live a frugal life together . ’
Lee Hyun and Seo-yoon lived next door so it was natural to eat meals together . Right now Lee Hyun was busy concentrating on Royal Road so she prepared the meals .
She naturally assisted at home and warmly raised Lee Hyun’s animals . Dogmeat would wag its tail every time she came over to Lee Hyun’s house . Half Seasoned Half Fried and the baby chickens also had their crest perk up . The puppies that Dogmeat gave birth to were wallowing in the sun .
He was enjoying a happy life but the slightest slip meant it might disappear .
‘I have to prepare methods to defeat those guys . ’
Lee Hyun contemplated ways to stop the Haven Empire .
The users of the Arpen Kingdom would help but he couldn’t rely on them . The Alkazar Bridge would block the Haven Empire’s army for a few days but they would eventually reach the Earth Palace .

“A disaster is necessary and I should use Sculpture Resurrection . The best person to revive…damn, I really don’t like him . ”
He thought about the skills that could be used .
He had fought the Immortal Legion as the orc Karichwi . The terrain and aggressive subordinates meant they followed his commands without any doubts . Furthermore, there was time to prepare .
However, it was close to impossible to configure a strong chain of command with users . Even if the users made large scale preparations for war, there was no guarantee there weren’t any spies from the Hermes Guild .
“Those fellows from the Hermes Guild won’t be noticed . And I need to predict what actions they might take . ”
Lee Hyun thought about the things that might occur in the future .
Strategies and tactics weren’t a big deal . There were tips and tricks that could be used to solve a problem . In the case of a quest, a quick mind and using various skills were important .
Sculpture Transformation was a skill he used in many adventures . Blending into a crowd of opponents or changing species to maximize strength! However, Sculpture Transformation wouldn’t be useful against the army of the Haven Empire .
In fact, the Hermes Guild was the worst opponent for him . They had a thorough plan and used their momentum to quickly dominate the Versailles Continent .
Usually fictional villains would make a mistake by going slowly and giving the hero time to grow . But the Hermes Guild quickly secured important victories in the war .
Lee Hyun caused damage to them but when looking at the overall plan, it was only minor damage that didn’t cause them any disruptions .
“Completely unexpected…well, there aren’t any large changes to the army . And there are large plains in front of the Earth Palace . ”
Lee Hyun was currently lying down in the yard with the warm sun shining down on him .
“Hrmm, a tactic that can be connected to a disaster…I should buy some things . They can be used . ”
He decided to do a bulk purchase through Mapan . Of course, there were still some gaps . The Haven Empire was capable of massive ranged attacks so suitable tactics needed to be prepared .
It was necessary to change his battle approach .
“If I cause a large disaster while the northern craftsmen prepare rafts…no, many users would need to participate and the Hermes Guild would certainly notice . Well, hopefully I can obtain some things for free . ”
Lee Hyun steadily built up battle plans for the area in front of the Earth Palace . He questioned how much progress there would be but he had to try it anyway .
“I just settled a long quest and now there is a war . Will it be easier once the war is finished? Honestly, I don’t have high expectations . ”
Later that night, Lee Hyun assembled old parts and turned on the computer . There was the sound of the old fan blowing as the computer started operating .
Lee Hyun wrote a post on the Dark Gamers bulletin boards .
It was understandable that the Dark Gamers took a neutral stance in the war between users . Even if Lee Hyun asked them for help, they would only become mercenaries if there was enough profit .
It was useless at the moment . The Dark Gamers would judge what was profitable based on information from the bulletin board .
“Well, I don’t know how many will appear but there is a dining table prepared for them . ”
It was a post that only the top rated Dark Gamers could see .
And after that, he went to the homepage of Royal Road and sent an email to a user .
The architect users of the north . Pavo was on his friends list but he also needed to commission other renowned architects .
“In the worst case scenario, I can’t hand the Earth Palace over to them . ”
He would break it before giving it away!
“It would be a tremendous spectacle . ”
He was determined to win the war against the Haven Empire but contingencies were necessary . He could only hope they weren’t needed . He would rather destroy the castle then lose it .
“And what about the forces that were defeated by the Hermes Guild?”
Lee Hyun also sent mail to the leaders of the 5 prestigious guilds . It was a brief suggestion to join forces . In order to get rid of the juggernaut that swept through them .
A few responded but it was unknown if anything would come from it .
Hwaryeong, Bellot, Maylon, Irene, Romuna and Surka were tired .
Normal people wouldn’t believe it . The girls had tired bodies because they had been shovelling at the earth!
Romuna’s shovel hit something firm .
-Uhihihihihi! Human, thanks for freeing me . In return, your flesh… .
“Noisy . Fire Time!”
-Keeek!
Romuna used fire magic to get rid of the ghost .
Bellot dug at the ground with both hands . Her face was a mess as it was covered in mud .
“What is it?”
“Nothing big . Just rusted armour . ”
Weed’s hidden treasures from the Pallos Empire were buried in a lake . They thought it would be piled up in a cave and shining bright and gold . Of course, it would be good if there were relics from the Pallos Empire as well .
But the reality was that the treasures were hidden in a lake that dried up and became a mudflat .

Ddiring!
-You have excavated old relics and fame has increased by 450 . If the relics are restored then additional fame can be gained . -The title ‘Excavator of Hidden Land’ has been obtained . A rare title that can be obtained by digging the ground for 15 days . Digging speed will become 3% faster .Affinity to the earth has increased .
“We are being rewarded after acting as human moles . ”
“Phew, now I have the title Excavator of Hidden Land . ” Romuna wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke to Bellot .
Only girls had been digging but there was already a pile of treasures in the corner .
The treasures of the Pallos Empire had been buried for a long time so the sword and armours were rusty and needed to go through a purification ritual .
Therefore Irene used her divine power to purify the items while digging .
-Kyahahahah! I’m finally free! Being chained to this infernal sword for all these years…
“Bubi bubi dance!”
“The ghost is moderately strong . Yahap! Beating!”
Hwaryeong and Surka also participated in the ghost hunting . The beauty with a perfect body did the bubi bubi dance while Surka continuously used her punch attacks .
“Iyahahap! Heavy Blow Vortex!”
Surka’s fists of lights dealt a powerful blow to the body of the ghost .
-Ohuhuhu, it hurts . The ghosts that had been waiting a long time for revenge on the humans disappeared in vain… .
Most of the treasures of the Pallos Empire had grudges attached to them . They had changed owners many times in the warring period . The ghosts had become stuck due to that environment .
Rowdy ghosts! The ghosts were dangerous but they just died after being excavated . The group dug all day for treasure but sometimes the ones that emerged were a failure .
But they recalled Weed’s words of encouragement before going to find the treasure .
-In the old days, our ancestors were absolutely brilliant . They eventually left this earth behind . But look .
There are many rich people in our country . There are a variety of treasures from the Pallos Empire to be discovered .
The hardest swords and armour . If they can be well restored then they can be sold for an expensive price .
“Ahem, the army of the Haven Empire is definitely strong . The taste of a fight, Geomchi-5 . ”
“The taste of wielding my sword after a long time, Teacher-nim!”
Geomchi organized his disciples in the northern areas occupied by the Haven Empire .
[Kill Without Asking Porridge Unit]
They worried for one day and night before narrowly deciding on the name .
“This is unusual and nice . ”
“It suits us perfectly Teacher-nim . ”
“Life shouldn’t be complicated . Or my head will hurt . ”
“Being simple and ignorant is the best!”
A name that meant they would unconditionally kill without asking!
The Haven Empire placed soldiers in the occupied northern territories for long term governance .
Originally, the traffic in this area was slow so the villages weren’t as developed . It was easy for the Haven Empire to expel the northern users and conquer the villages .
“What type of rubbish village is this?”
“The urban planning is a mess . Just burn it and take away the residents . ”
“There are many mines nearby in the surrounding area . The slaves can quickly increase productivity . The development would turn it into a gold mine . ”
The lords that settled in that area brought a large number of slaves from the Central Continent . The slaves were residents of the kingdoms conquered by the Haven Empire .
After having all their possessions on the continent taken away, they officially became slaves . Among the slaves were professional merchants, artists, blacksmiths, magicians and even combat professions like gladiators . The low management and slave engineers that managed to run away meant there actually weren’t that many slaves in the war between kingdoms .
However, the Haven Empire had a strong military force and turned many residents into slaves . The slaves were brought to the north to develop the area .
“Let’s go, everyone . ”
“We will punish and kill them all . Hiyah!”
Geomchi-3 rode a bull in the front . And the reliable Sahyungs followed . Geomchi and Geomchi-2 each led troops comprised of 150 students . Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 led the remaining 200 students .
“Ambush from the enemy!”
“Ring the emergency bell!”
The enemy inside the wooden fence hurriedly rung the bell in order to signify there was a surprise attack .
“Shake them off!”
“Fight without asking questions . Smash everything!”

Ummoooooo!
Geomchi-3 rushed towards the wooden barrier while shouting . And the troops of the Haven Empire hastily fired arrows above the barrier . More than 100 arrows headed towards Geomchi-3 in the front .
“Times like these are the most interesting . Go!”
Geomchi-3 wielded a sword in both hands like a windmill . It was an amazing technique that caused the swords to rotate and hit the arrows .
The swords struck the arrow .
It was originally a warrior’s skill but Geomchi-3’s troops all learned it . If they learned it until master level then the pair of swords would be raised one level higher .
A martial artist could easily learn combat techniques or created different combinations themselves .
If the skill level of individual weapons reached master level then a skill could be created and their attacks would steadily increase . A myriad of master combat skills for the sword, spear, bow, axe, club, hammer, mace, shield and armour! It could produce a blow similar to Black Knight’s Strike or Power of Birth .
These master skills could then be bestowed to their disciples . Of course, that was only possible if they had a complete understanding of the technique . In other words, they could only pass it onto others after fully mastering the skill .
“Uhahahaha! This taste is really delicious!”
Geomchi-3 laughed as the arrows bounced off his body . His strength would weaken when he got older but right now, he demonstrated his exceptional fighting skills .
“Sahyung, let’s go together . ”
“Good!”
Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 rode their bulls together in the front . Stray arrows passed by their ears and a large dust cloud rose up .
The archers were scared and hid their bodies behind the barrier .
They were now 10 metres away from the barrier .
“Smash into them . Heavy Strike!”
“Hmm, this much… . one point attack!”
“There is no need for anything else . It is just crashing against wood . Take this!”
The instructors strongly struck the barrier with their weapons . Then the barrier was shattered and torn . The residents and even the knights and soldiers were in a state of panic .
“The knights are mine!”
“Sahyung, the owner will be the first person to catch them . ”
“We should handle the soldiers before it is too late . ”
Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 attacked after penetrating through the barrier .
The knights of the Haven Empire . The knights were loyal to Emperor Bardray but now they were just tasty prey . The students also found the soldiers enjoyable .
“It is too quick . ”
“I don’t want this taste to end too early . ”
“Let’s clean this up quickly and go somewhere else . ”
Geomchi and the students had continued working on their class quest .
The Weapons Mastery quest still wasn’t over . They could choose to become a truth seeker or martial arts teacher .
A martial arts teacher had an unmatched ability to teach their disciples . Teachers could transfer their skills to NPCs or users .
On the other hand, a truth seeker didn’t teach anyone . They also couldn’t get honour . A human body could become strong so they used martial arts to cultivate their strength in nature and remove any fear of death .
And a merchant user of the Haven Empire surrendered .
“If you spare me then you absolutely won’t regret it . ”
It was rumoured that merchants became more talkative when surrendering!
“I have a total of 4,298 gold bullions so I will give if all to you and leave the north if you spare me . ”
Even a non-combatant merchant user would find their lives precious . If they lost their lives then their trading and accounting skills would fall . A high level would receive really big damage so they didn’t want to die in a place like this .
Geomchi-101 examined the merchant in silence .
“In fact, I have 3 more gold bullions in the business fund . I will give everything . ”
“Whatever you want to trade… . ”
“I really have no more . ”
Seokeok!
-The unscrupulous merchant Donjulle has died . Fame has been obtained among the slaves exploited by Donjulle .The merchant was executed by Geomchi-101 .
He was able to loot an additional 5 gold bullion from the merchant . People always prayed that merchants would drop expensive items but such cases were rare . The only items attached to merchants were ones they wouldn’t mind losing in death .
Geomchi said towards his students .
“I’ll tell you this . There better not be anyone here willing to accept wealth in exchange for those cowards lives . You will forever carry a shameful face . ”
“Of course we can’t do that, Teacher-nim!”
“We just need to kill everything . ”
“Truly wise . ”
“This is justice . It is a perfect morality, Teacher-nim . ”
The policy of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit was determined . No soldiers of the Haven Empire were left behind as the slaves tied with rope shed tears .
“The ones who harassed us finally died . ”
“Even so, we can’t go back home . We can only live by following a new owner . ”
“Our kingdom has already disappeared . We will live according to the will of the rulers . ”
-2,609 slaves have been acquired . You must determine how to handle them .If you own the prisoners then you can increase wealth through hard labour .
Or you can give the prisoners freedom .
It wasn’t their occupation but they were knighted . Knights of the Arpen Kingdom could lead soldiers, carry out wars, conquer and absorb enemy territory and even dispose of prisoners of war . Including Geomchi-3, all members of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit were knights of the Arpen Kingdom .
Geomchi-3 nodded and said .
“Just take care of your own lives .
-Do you want to free the prisoners? The decision cannot be reversed . Those who are freed will strongly oppose going back into captivity .“Eat if you are hungry and sleep if you are sleepy . Take care of the money you earned . It is hard on the body of the prisoners of war… . ”
-2,609 people have been freed . 1, 920 fame has been acquired . Intimacy with the freed people will rise to the highest level .“Come! We are heading to the next place . ”
“Thank you very much . We were brought here without any consideration so thank you very much . We will become residents of the Arpen Kingdom and be loyal to His Majesty the King and all the knights . ”
Geomchi-3 climbed onto his bull .
“Sahyung, there are 5 villages in the area so today will be very busy . ”
“Teacher-nim doesn’t like being idle . Go quickly!”
Geomchi-3 and the students rode towards another settlement of the Haven Empire .
The leaders of the Hermes Guild in the northern occupied territories had serious concerns about the actions of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit .
“We can’t afford to leave those fellows alone . It isn’t on a large scale yet but it will be difficult once more join them . ”
“The guild leaders should quickly quell this . But the leaders in the Haven Empire will just consider them a funny story . ”
“But so far they’ve only caused minor damage . Will the core leaders really worry about this?”
“The terrain characteristics are very different from the Central Continent . ”
“Yes, I’ve also had that problem . ”
In the Central Continent, there were many fortresses so they could stabilize the area .
The prestigious guilds were composed of users so once a defeat occurred, there were serious internal splits . Who was good or bad and who was behind the defeat . The complaints piled up until they exploded .
The Hermes Guild would target the important people at that time and the guild would dissolve . The ability to resist would disappear and the Haven Empire could firmly conquer the territory .
In comparison, the north had large meadows where horses could run for hours . Even after the conquest, the settlements weren’t cities so they were difficult to keep .
In other words, the resistance army could move around on horses, other users would actively join and security would worsen . The occupied territory needed to be secured so they felt the need to respond to it strongly .
“We will dig pitfalls in the settlements . ”
“That is insufficient . We need to annihilate their mobility with one strike . Their numbers are small but it will be difficult . ”
“Should we direct the knights from the 5th army division to the occupied territories? The remainder of the army will continue marching towards the Earth Palace . They can return quickly and aid in the battle at the Earth Palace . ”
“Good . I was getting bored . ”
The commander in change of the 5th knights division was Banrommel . He was determined to destroy the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit .
