Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 41: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (4)

Kang-jun finished his final day selling socks at 7 p.m.

A profit of 1.52 million.

Even if he had the management skill, the profit was constrained by the floating population.

He was proud about earning more than 14 million won in just 10 days. He was even more proud about delaying Jung Kwang-hyeon’s contract.

Kang-jun had told the realtor Kim Seok-cheol that he was willing to buy the building for more than three billion won.However, he needed a few days to get the money.

Kim Seok-cheol had immediately contacted the owner of the building. It was more than Jung Kwang-hyeon offered so the owner was forced to delay the contract.

Of course, Kang-jun didn’t have the money. It would be the same even after a few days. It would be tough to sign the contract without the money.

The most important thing was to postpone the contract as much as possible!

It was a little bit sneaky, but this was necessary in a life or death battle.

And it might actually be beneficial to the owner. Jung Kwang-hyeon could offer a purchase price much higher than 2.8 billion.

In other words, only Jung Kwang-hyeon would receive damage.

By the time Jung Kwang-hyeon managed to buy the Dafeng building, Kang-jun would be ready to defeat him in Hwanmong.

’Jung Kwang-hyeon! Just wait. I’ll step on you.’

The next day, there was heavy rain all day long.

Thus the population of the market was less than usual. Thanks to the management skill, people still gathered around Kang-jun.

The part time female workers Kang-jun decided to hire helped him sell products at the market.

"Come here unni~!”

“Hoho! Pretty lady! Come look at this underwear.”

After deducting the value of the goods and the labour costs, the profit was approximately two million won.

It was raining on the first day but the atmosphere was still pretty good.

"Hoho, there is a lot of business despite the rainy day. Boss-nim is lucky with money.”

Kang-jun laughed. He couldn’t say that it was due to the management skill.

“Haha! I haven’t heard that before. It will become more busy in the future. Both of you, good job today. See you tomorrow.”

“Yes, Boss-nim~.”

Kang-jun closed up at 8 p.m. and returned to the goshiwon.

He spoke to Kim Seok-cheol who had called the owner.

The contract would be signed if Jung Kwang-hyeon raised the amount. Fortunately, the building owner had flow to Jeju Island this afternoon and wouldn’t be back until the day after tomorrow.

10 o’clock at night.

Kang-jun lay in the bed of the newly contracted Room 307 of the Eco Studio Apartment.

Hayun was sitting on a chair in front of the bed. She would protect Kang-jun when he was sleeping.

"Would you like a lullaby?”

“Please.”

Kang-jun fell asleep while listening to Hayun’s lullaby.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

[You have entered the world of Hwanmong.]

A strange but familiar room.

As expected, Kang-jun was standing in Eco Studio Apartment’s Room 307 after waking up in Hwanmong.

An empty room. A dark corridor.

Still, everything was better than when he first started in Room 406 of the Dafeng building.

The Demonic Dragon’s Ring was on his left hand. He had three bottles of health recovery potion and one bottle of black magic recovery potion. His right hand was holding the Solid Iron Axe.

Above all, he was Lv12!

And one more thing.

(Lord! It is Keirun. I was surprised to see a new territory rise, so Lord must be planning to create a base there.)

He was the military adviser. Thanks to that, Keirun could send messages like there was a telepathic link.

(Of course.)

Surprisingly, Kang-jun could also communicate through the same method.

It was natural.

Kang-jun briefly explained the situation.

He had heard the status of Herod’s troops from Colt.

In addition, Kang-jun was creating a new base because Herod was trying to interfere by buying the Dafeng building.

(Ohh! As expected from Lord. I wouldn’t have thought about a new base. It is a wonderful plan that will prepare for the worst.)

(But Herod knows the location of the Dafeng building so he might decide to attack the base there. Can you stop it?)

(Lord, don’t worry. Although Herod has many troops, he has no information about our side. That is enough to defeat them.)

Herod had 35 orc infantry and 15 goblin archers.

The goblin’s attack power was similar to the ratian archers and gnomes, but the damage wouldn’t be small if the 15 archers fired at once. Furthermore, the attack power of the orcs was close to the giant ratians.

He had 35 orcs! Herod would start producing more troops tonight. He had three stage three barracks, so he would have a total of 90 troops in the near future.

In contrast, Kang-jun’s side only had 20 troops. Even if he upgraded the barrack to stage three today, it would only increase to 30.

However, he had golem ratigers and intermediate gnomes that could deal with the orcs.

Was that all?

The senior ghost Hayun, intermediate ghost Colt, advanced gnome Rodium and the military adviser Keirun were all in his camp.

And Kang-jun was a Lv12 sovereign. His side wouldn’t be easily pushed.

However, there would be enormous sacrifices on his side in a confrontation.

A victory couldn’t be guaranteed.

Therefore, Kang-jun planned to build another base for a siege operation on two sides.

(Keirun, thank you for the trouble.)

(Lord should also be careful. I do have one question. How did you manage to get Colt as your subordinate?)

(Herod did something very unscrupulous. It is worthy of betrayal.)

(That isn’t possible. Like I said last time, treachery is impossible unless the lord releases the subordinate. Even if charisma falls, there is no way.)

(Then what is going on?)

(Let’s see... Something very strange has happened. I wonder if you have awoken the hidden power of a sovereign.)

(The hidden power of a sovereign?)

(It isn’t a certain guess. I’ve never developed any powers.)

(I don’t know. A message just appeared.)

(Anyway, it is a good thing. Focus on making your base right now. We will look into it in the future.)

(I understand. Take care.)

(Yes, Lord.)

The conversation between Kang-jun and Keirun ended.

Maybe today would be a very difficult situation. But Kang-jun trusted Keirun as the military adviser.

Right now, it was more important to defend himself.

New messages had appeared in the meantime.

[You can build a base in this territory.]

[Would you like to build a base at Room 307? Yes/No]

‘Yes! I will make it.’

There was no need to hesitate. It was the reason he came here.

[Stage 1 base is being constructed: 1%]

[The enemy has started to notice you after the construction of the base started.]

"Come!"

He was already prepared. Kang-jun quickly ran down the corridor of the Eco Studio Apartment.

“Grrr!”

"Kwaaang!”

Dark smoke filled the corridor and monsters with black fur emerged.

Flashing fangs!

They were large wolves. There were 10 of them.

"Kwaaang!”

“Grrrr!”

Kang-jun ran forward and used the momentum to swing the axe.

[Experience has been gained.]

[3 nodes have been gained.]

One monster gave three nodes. It wasn’t a bad income.

[Inferior ‘dark wolf’ knowledge has been acquired.]

[It is possible to summon a dark wolf in the barrack.]

[Dark wolf]

-Resources: 10 nodes

Furthermore, knowledge was obtained!

The black wolves were called dark wolves. 10 of them rushed simultaneously!

It was easy now but it would have been tough if he met them at Lv1.

‘It is difficult to make multiple bases without raising my level.’

Of course, there were no such threats if he owned the building.

However, Kang-jun welcomed this situation. It might be small but he got experience from the monsters. In addition, knowledge was gained.

He would become much stronger.

[Stage 1 is complete.]

His base was finished. Kang-jun instantly started attacked the studio rooms on the 3rd floor.

Sometimes giant dark wolves would pop out, but they weren’t too hard.

[Inferior ‘giant dark wolf’ knowledge has been acquired.]

[It is possible to summon a giant dark wolf in the barrack.]

[Giant dark wolf]

-Resources: 20 nodes

-Can only be summoned when charisma is over 1 point.

More knowledge was obtained. For the moment, he couldn’t summon any dark wolves to the barrack. But there were no negatives about gaining knowledge.

[Room 309]

-Occupied territory

-Territory effect: Barrack construction is possible.

[Room 318]

-Occupied territory

-Territory effect: Construction of a research institute is possible.

And he succeeded in finding two rooms. He didn’t know about the research institute, but a contract was needed to build a barrack in Room 309.

[The Eco building’s 3rd floor has been occupied.]

[102 nodes have been gained.]

[The Eco building’s 4th floor has been occupied.]

[A Solid Iron Sword has been obtained.]

Kang-jun took over the Eco Studio Apartments located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building.

His earnings were surprisingly high. He obtained money and a new weapon.

However, Kang-jun had never learnt kendo so he was more comfortable with the axe that could deal a large blow.

‘I will store the sword.’

He didn’t continue to climb up to the rooftop. Finally, he went down to the seafood noodle restaurant on the 2nd floor, the pub on the 1st floor and the kendo school in the basement.

Strongest Kendo Dojo.

The name seemed plausible, but no sword-wielding monsters emerged.

Only dark wolves appeared.

Naturally, they were just snacks for Kang-jun.

[The Strongest Kendo Dojo has been occupied.]

[The Eco building has been occupied.]

[A rare treasure chest of good luck has been obtained.]

’A rare treasure box of good luck?’

This wasn’t the first time he had found a treasure chest. Yet this was the first time Kang-jun had found one with such an unusual name.

‘What will be in here?’

Kang-jun excitedly opened the chest.

A glittering gold scroll was inside.

[Heaven’s Blood Sword Style]

-Learning Restriction: Sovereign

‘W-what is this?’

It was a name that seemed like it would appear in a martial arts novel. The ‘blood’ part of the name gave him a feeling of horror.

There was a restriction that only sovereigns could learn it.

Of course, Kang-jun was a sovereign so he could learn it.

Chwaaaak!

He opened the scroll and a brilliant light poured out.

[A sword style that contains the invincible strength of the heavens! However, there will be a lot of pain before it reaches that stage...]

A shadow of a man holding a sword appeared and penetrated Kang-jun’s body.

[The Heaven’s Blood Sword Style has been learnt.]

[The highest quality knowledge of swordsmanship has been gained.]

[Your body has become optimized for the sword.]

[Heaven’s Blood Sword Style is limited to your level.]

[As your level rises, your swordsmanship will also increase.]

"Heaven’s Blood Sword Style! It is a strange coincidence...!”

There was no doubt. He had literally just obtained a sword.

Kang-jun didn’t know how strong Heaven’s Blood Sword Style was.

However, the highest quality knowledge of swordsmanship would be obtained, so he didn’t think he would be disappointed.

It was at that moment.

There was an unexpected message.

[The neighbouring Dain building is the territory of the ogre Germuz.

[Germuz does not like your occupation of the Eco building.]

What was this?

Ogre!

The Eco building was a four storey building.

Keirun stated that taller buildings had scary monsters, so Kang-jun had avoided the high-rise buildings. The problem was that the Dain building next door had seven floors.

The boss there was an ogre called Germuz.

‘Shit! Ogre!’

He heard of an ogre before.

The fearsome ogre that appeared in movies and fantasy novels!

He didn’t like that someone had occupied the adjacent building.

[Germuz requires 500 nodes as tribute.]

[If you accept then you will no longer be threatened or perceived as a hostile presence.]

[He will also protect the Eco building, where your base is located, from outside attacks.]

[Offering tribute to Germuz will permanently reduce your charisma by 1 point.]

[Would you like to offer a tribute? Yes/No]
