A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop chapter 36

Episode 36 – Miracle on the Frontier (6)

‘I can’t believe I’m going to build a castle wall. ‘Me, do you mean me?’

In the world of Dark Blood, the castle that Varun ordered after seeing a splendid stone castle with a touch of fantasy was actually not that grand.

I just suggested that it be a good idea to stack stone blocks to create an insurmountable wall around the village.

However, after hearing the proposal, Maureen could not sleep that night due to her heavy heart. It seemed like a dream to be able to build a castle with my own hands that I had only heard about in stories and that I had never seen before unless I went to the outskirts of the plains.

“In that sense, we need a lot of stones.”

“If that were the case, there wouldn’t be anything to worry about. “There are tons of stones scattered around while digging the mine.”

“First of all, we need to prepare the ingredients.”

Thanks to you, early morning the next day. As her colleagues headed to the gate to go into the game world and farm resources, Morin also started doing her own thing.

Morin, who told Miner Kuhn that he needed a lot of stones, began by moving the stone blocks he had been stockpiling to the village.

Using the transporter’s characteristic, the stones quickly dug out by miners are turned into small cube-sized blocks. Maureen was able to pick up the stone blocks, which had decreased in weight as well as size, into a leather sack and move them dozens at a time.

‘I’m going to need more.’

Maureen poured the sacks of stone blocks into the tent to be used as storage and wiped the sweat running down his beard. Since it didn’t take up a lot of space to store it anyway, Maureen repeated this action several times, filling the warehouse with stone blocks from the game world.

Of course, the real work begins now. There is no problem in transporting the blocks, but installing the transported blocks in reality requires tremendous effort.

“Even five at a time is hard? “Well, it’s hard work to install that big stone.”

“He piled up a lot of stones in one go without showing any signs of difficulty, but I can’t do that.”

Maureen smiled bitterly and shook her head when her colleague was surprised to hear that the number of stone blocks that could be placed per day was small due to physical limitations.

In the game world, Maureen saw him as having no limitations whatsoever in stacking countless blocks, but reality is different. To Maureen, who had acquired similar abilities, his actions were simply surprising.

‘But it is possible if you take the time. As long as there are walls… the village is safe. Even if it’s difficult, we must protect this place.’

After gathering herself, Maureen slowly began work. Maureen was also someone who ran away after her village was attacked by marauders, and would do anything to protect the village with her own strength.

“As expected, something is being built.”

And of course, Maureen’s behavior was bound to be noticed by him when he returned home from work.

‘I looked into it when I was building a watchtower or something.’

I prepared a meal and brought it to the computer, and while eating, I blankly looked at the enlarged desktop screen.

In the screen, there were people doing something hanging out at the edge of the village along with other villagers who were spread out and doing their jobs.

The transporter trait is the ability to bring items that exist in the game to reality. Residents were already using that characteristic to create something in their village.

Therefore, building a wall to protect themselves was also a reasonable idea.

‘Slow is slow.’

Maureen, the porter, is building a temporary wall along a pre-marked spot at the edge of the village with a few people to help him.

However, unlike the character in the game who can create a huge wall made of numerous blocks in a few hours, he was under the penalty of reality and had to sit down panting and recover his stamina after installing 2-3 blocks in a row.

He may have been working on it since this morning, but the three-block castle wall he installed higher than his height was at most six blocks long. As a rough estimate, it seems to be around 6M.

“—.”

As he stood up again, looking like he was having a hard time, people around him looked at him with worried eyes.

The people who helped him also did little errands, such as marking the spot or bringing blocks that he had moved in advance.

This is because no one with the potential to be a carrier has yet appeared.

‘If this is the case, there’s nothing I can do for you.’

After finishing my meal, I checked the two games that were running.

Varun, Riena, and Shura, who I just introduced, have cleared Chapter 1 and are training while fighting endless monsters in a place where hunting mode is activated.

The rest are other tribe members who are hard at work farming resources.

I wanted to build buildings in their village using the game characters I controlled, but they were the only ones who could go back and forth between the games.

‘I guess I’ll just have to prepare the ingredients today.’

I had to clear Chapter 2 with Riena, but I decided to postpone it for a day. I thought it was right to hasten the construction of the wall for the safety of the village, which is exposed to various threats.

There is no way to help Maureen right now, but I could at least make some materials other than the simple stone blocks she is using now. Glass blocks, step-shaped or half-sized stone blocks.

I logged into the first game and moved the character. Of course, on the monitor screen, there was a second game window showing Riena and her group, along with villagers busy wiggling around on the enlarged desktop.

It wasn’t some kind of factory, it looked like it was running several games at the same time, but I didn’t really care.

“—!”

“—…”

When I log into the game, my character pops up. Then, several residents working nearby were surprised to see me, and they all greeted me politely.

There was a time when I felt burdened by that action, but now I do. Because I already knew that my character’s abilities seemed amazing to them.

In return for their greetings, I sat down and stood up a few times and then got to work. It wasn’t a very big deal. All I have to do is craft the resources that residents have dug up in advance, or go around the field to collect the scarce resources myself, so I’m literally just playing the game.

-Are you leaving work? What are you doing?

-game

When my friend asked me what I was actually doing, I answered that it was a game. It’s not exactly wrong, and my friend, who knows that my hobby is gaming, responded that he knew that would be the case. It’s a bonus to whine about working overtime.

‘I tried to turn around, but it still didn’t come out.’

It was already late at night. In the game, day and night have already changed several times. Having filled my inventory with various resources to use as materials, I gave up thinking about the rare minerals I was looking for.

It seems that minerals beyond iron ore will not be easily given away.

“—…–!”

I soon returned to the bomb shelter with the gate, and when I poured out a lot of the things I had brought with me, Maureen looked embarrassed and made a strange expression.

Are you happy that you have acquired various resources that you can use, or are you sad that you will have to work without a break in the future?

‘Maybe more new residents will come? Or is there a way to upgrade Maureen’s abilities?’

When you see something like that, you can’t help but have these thoughts. As the population increases, the number of talented people will also increase, which will increase efficiency.

Maureen, the current carrier, is also a former vagabond who joined the group late.

Varun, who became the tribal chief and led the village, attacked those who were being taken away based on these concerns and rescued the residents. As I also thought about their growth, I came to have similar thoughts.

[Glitch occurs at lvl 3]

“Oh my.”

However, the residents who were asked to come did not come, and an undesirable message emerged. Unidentified monsters and the culprits behind everything have reappeared after a long time.

‘It doesn’t look that strong.’

When I wondered where it appeared, it seemed to have originated in a forest near the village. Although they are level 3, their form is ultimately like a caterpillar with tentacles. The overall appearance resembles a caterpillar.

The villagers didn’t seem to have found it yet, so I returned and picked up Varun, who was having a late dinner, with the mouse and brought him up in front of him.

“—!? –!”

Varun, who was frightened by the incident with his mouth full of rice, struggled with his arms and legs in the air, but his eyes changed when the monster appeared in front of him.

After confirming the situation, I dropped Varun back into the village and watched their response.

“—!”

Naturally, when a glitch appeared, where, when, and how it would appear, the residents were upset. Especially those who have experience fighting bugs.

This is in contrast to those who have recently joined and are seeing bugs or glitches for the first time and are confused and upset.

Of course, I was nervous too. If you think about it, glitches and bugs are the main enemies that can directly harm me in real life.

‘I don’t know if I can catch him easily with a gun.’

As I watched the urgently deployed residents riding horses and fighting against the glitch, I guessed when those monsters might have crawled out into reality.

From Noble mtl dot com

Right now, I’m the only one, but if other users increase someday, it means that if they fail to defend themselves, those monsters will appear in reality.

Glitch could be caught with a bow or spear fired by ordinary residents. The skill Riena wielded with her eyes flashing was enough to tear her body apart in an instant.

However, in the case of the bug that developed the glitch, the only thing that caused a significant impact on my memory was the strike of Riena, a superhuman who can learn and implement the skills in the game.

When a monster that can only be dealt with in that way appears in reality. If the military cannot solve the problem, who will step in to catch it?

“…”

I looked down at my hands blankly. As a reward for beating down the bugs of the residents in the past, I acquired the trait of Riena, a strong warrior.

Thanks to this, my body, which used to be a tall woman, became a little stronger. I felt much less tired and my strength became stronger. If we continue to build relationships with residents, we will be able to achieve more one day.

But even if I become stronger like that, will I really be able to fight against those monsters like Riena and the villagers?

‘Think about it later.’

I shook my head and forced my thoughts away. It’s not something you need to worry about right now.

My job now is to hunt down the glitches that appear and make the happy residents stronger.
