The Returning Supervillain Raises a Hero

Episode 81. Hero Manager (2)

【Roman, please choose the name of the hero office you will run.】

The name of the office is usually chosen to reveal the characteristics or ideology of the team. However, in my case, I want to hide my identity.

【Peaceful Life】

【Available office names.】

I put the ambiguous word peace.

【Choose your appearance.】

Surprisingly, both men and women were able to choose, and I chose a man after a long time of deliberation. No matter what, I can’t throw away my alter ego.

Afterwards, when I checked and completed minor physical settings such as white, average height, middle age, and readiness only, my vision brightened.

“Five.”

A hill overlooking the sea. Half of the view was made of shacks, and you can see cars rushing by on the road below. The sea breeze blowing is also refreshing.

“It smells like the Atlantic Ocean. Well?”

His voice is a little bit mechanical, and it has a neutral feel.

【Tutorial Quest (1)】

【Quest Name: Office Lot and Building Purchase】

【Description: Your dream is to become the best hero manager on Hello Island. The city supports you with big dreams. I promised an interest-free loan.]

【Karma: Your initial fund is 0 won. Unlike other hero managers, it starts with a loan.]

“loan? Great, great.”

Did you really need to patch reality in virtual reality? I want to see the face of the person who made it.

Then a piece of paper appeared in front of me with a small halo, and when I grabbed it, it automatically unfolded with the notification that I had obtained the map.

The size of the island, the number of people, the land price, and the ships that go inside and outside the island. A real-time map that reflects the present in detail. This is a technology that never existed in the future.

It would be correct to say that it was not made. If you insert a chip and lens into your body and link it with a telecommunication company, any kind of information will be sent to your retina. Frankly, this is a waste of energy, although intuitively.

“Hey, this is your answer too.”

When I checked the available lot and looked at the map, 99% of the land was red, meaning it was not available for purchase.

The only place I can live is the corner of ‘Moonhill Street 1st Avenue’ where I am now. It was also in an alley, so it was a dark place that was difficult to find if you didn’t know the way.

I tried to press buy because there was no other way.

Lots marked in red are transformed into plain lots with no color one by one.

“Has it started?”

Maybe other kids bought it. A 50 million dollar bill has just been sold, but it seems there are some people who started with no traits.

Making money is also a good way to go. Because there are also leaders who do not go out on the field.

However, it is questionable whether that will be the case at the student level.

I don’t have the confidence to gamble like that in a place like this where there is no information at all.

Anyway, I bought a lot of land in the corner of Daldongne, or Moonhill 1st Avenue. Still, because it was my first purchase, the address was 1-1 for easy memorization.

“Let’s see. Location is… .”

After walking for about 10 minutes, I came to a land that converges to 0, where the streetlights have to be turned on to see signs.

All the buildings surrounding my site in Dal-dong-nae are 10 stories tall.

“So, how much is it to raise the building?”

The cheapest model was 100,000, the next one was 500,000, and by dragging, I looked at the last column and saw 30 billion.

The coin that Hello City lent me was 500,000. Since 200,000 was spent on the purchase of the land, the answer is already fixed.

When you choose the cheapest building and press buy, materials automatically spring up from the land and assemble on your own.

The time it took to complete was only about drinking a cup of coffee from the vending machine.

“Write. Isn’t this magic?”

The assembly process is strangely familiar. I guess I’ll just have to mix some magic.

[Tutorial Quest (1) Completed!]

【Description: You have successfully purchased office land and built a new building.】

【Reward: Visiting available staff】

The quest was completed as soon as the words ‘Peaceful Life’ were written on the signboard of the shack with pink paint, and a small child with a body covered in robes walked from the entrance of the alley.

“there… .”

A kid about 10 years old. The guy’s back is bloated. At first I thought it was a hunchback, but as I got closer, I found a child on it.

“Don’t hire me.”

“If you could do something worthwhile, would you?”

“You are hiring. come in.”

As long as the result was decided, I wanted to skip unnecessary intermediate steps, so I cut the front and back and spoke only the main body.

Still, he followed me into the shack with suspicious eyes as to whether he understood.

“ah.”

Compared to the shabby exterior, the inside was quite cozy like a cabin, and although it was narrow, it was equipped with a kitchen, a counter, and a number of rooms.

“You must use this room.”

Of course, I’ll be using the widest bedroom, and I pushed him into the narrow room behind the counter.

“thank you. ugh.”

What, all of a sudden I’m crying.

【Tutorial Quest (2)】

[Quest Name: Hire a Hero!]

【Description: Hire a hero with your coins.】

【Karma: You have hired bums ‘Budden’ and ‘Ira’. They traveled all over Hello Island to beg.]

I guess it’s because it’s a tutorial, it’s just a bunch of hints after talking up.

“Budden.”

“Hey, what’s my name?”

“I just know. Okay, don’t you know any heroes? It’s cheap to hire.”

“How many do you have?”

Considering their employment costs and daily necessities, about 150,000 can be used. When he said this, Burden narrowed his brow.

“With that… , ah. There is one. by the way-“

“Guide me.”

150,000 coins are equivalent to 1.5 million won in Korean Won. Of course, the heroes that can be hired with this money will not be high-end personnel.

However, no matter how insignificant the person may have, it doesn’t matter, because I can somehow make a person and roll it.

It’s not going to be an incredibly difficult quest from the start.

Burden murmured, then shrugged his shoulders and took the lead.

After walking like that for 30 minutes, we arrived at the beginning of the mountain, which at a glance was extremely steep.

【Anaksan Mountain】

【Description: The worst difficulty among mountains on Hello Island. No one has reached the peak normally yet.]

“If ‘evil’ is in the name of a mountain, it is correct to just look around.”

“Come on!”

For some reason, the excited Budden climbs up the rock while stepping on it. I also did my own training at the mountain gym, so I wasn’t left behind.

When the sun sets over the hillside. Arrive at a shabby hut built by the creek.

“there?”

“Yes, you will be inside. Uncle Ram!”

As Burden called, an old man with a bent back walked out of the entrance.

“Are you earning?”

“It’s not a bee, it’s a Burden.”

“That’s it. it came just fine Boil some sweet potatoes. … huh? Nushu?”

Although he is not a gray-haired old man, he is over 50 years old because of his gray hair.

“He is the hero manager. 15,000 per month. What do you think?”

“Are you going to hire me? Then you’ll get 200,000. Don’t say no. After buying the office, the remaining loan amount will be that much.”

Information is bright on the subject of living alone at the foot of the mountain. Did you set it up like that?

“okay? Then you stole Burden’s wages.”

“Ugh? Did you hire him?”

“uh.”

“… yep, i can understand 15 million.”

[Tutorial Quest (2) Completed!]

【Description: You have successfully hired a Hero.】

[Reward: Arrival of random request to the office]

Now, it’s time to use the cheat characteristics that you picked up by kicking 100 million coins.

‘Heart of the Swarm.’

Among the Awakened, there is a national rule, not a national rule. If a trait name is shy or squeaky by modern cultural standards, it’s usually strong.

In that sense, my characteristics are at a level that almost half the world can chew. It is a characteristic name that can never be weak.

‘… why doesn’t it start Maybe I have to say it.’

“Heart of the Swarm.”

Burden and Ram, who were walking next to each other, look at me with mouths that say uh.

“Hey, I want to call you me—”

oh it popped

[Target: Heart of the Swarm does not activate on Ram.]

what kind of bullshit is this

“Status window.”

【Name: Roman】

【Talent: Heart of the Swarm】

【Hero Manager Name: Peaceful Life】

【Owned Coins: 50,000】

【Affiliation Hero: 1】

【Employees: 2】

When I focused my gaze on the heart of the corps, a window with an explanation popped up.

【Heart of the Swarm】

【The ability of ordinary people is expressed numerically.】

‘I guess I didn’t see it well?’

Even if you check it two or three times, the text ‘People’ does not disappear.

I’m sure I asked to quantify the hero’s abilities… .

“Ah, the plague.”

At the time, I think he was not a hero, but just a ‘person’. If human beings refer to mankind in a broad sense, now the general public is the majority.

But, shouldn’t we include heroes as well?

I have a reasonable suspicion that someone might be sneaking behind that system to give me shit.

When I scrolled down while grinding my teeth, there was a tip written in very small letters.

【tip: Attribute generation involves a random element. It doesn’t create the perfect trait.]

I should have told you before making this!

“Ugh.”

“Why?”

As Burden comes into view, a spear appears next to his head.

【Name: Burden】

【Age: 12 years old】

【Characteristics: None】

【Description: A boy who is sincere and does not forget kindness. He is bright in numbers, excels in calculations, and does not make mistakes.]

【Karma: Rescued Aira from abusive parents.】

【Name: Aira】

【Age: 10 years old】

【Characteristics: None】

【Description: A child who doesn’t talk much and keeps his faith. 9 months ago, I slept for more than 23 hours a day after eating unknown grass.]

[Karma: It was a test subject of the Summoning School.]

Although it was a little awkward that Aira was sleeping, they were both good children.

According to my standards, it’s like a miracle, and if you look at your karma, Burden’s thoughts and actions are normal, even though his personality is at a level like a gutter.

He was born with an upright personality that would not be broken by the environment.

Corrected the Heart Rating of the Swarm. If you can understand the general public at this level, it is quite useful.

* * *

Hero Manager is a reality.

“It’s a dangerous project.”

Priscilla Rudra nodded her head in response as the mazzard ruffled her beard and expressed her concern.

“I know. But it’s worth a try.”

“Heh heh, I thought I was close to the most refined madness in the academy.”

“Are you me now?”

“All the wealth and wealth you have accumulated has been used up in preparing and executing this project. As a common sense person, I can’t just deny it.”

There are tens of thousands of heroes mobilized to run the ‘Hero Manager’ and 30,000 ordinary people.

They were sent to the island of Verda, where Priscilla bought it while she was active duty, and devoted herself to creating an environment for a long time, to a place called ‘Hello Island’ by Hero Manager.

“I didn’t want to do it this early either.”

“Ho, then what is the reason for now?”

“First of all, the biggest reason is that you don’t know when the senior, the core of this project, will leave.”

The magic that is close to the omnipotence of a magician creates a production that seems to have been given plausible characteristics, including the status window.

Even now, a large amount of mana is being consumed for this purpose, but the mana surrounding him was not disturbed in the slightest.

“Hey, can I leave the disciples behind?”

“One of the other reasons is that the disciple is capable.”
