The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Chapter 346 – Earth (2)

[Crime rates are declining. Is the Lee Ho-jae Faith really the answer?]

After the meteorite was announced, crime rates across the country began to drop sharply.

The day after the meteorite was announced, the Lee Ho-jae Faith announced the sale of survival capsules and food that could survive the meteorite crash, and accordingly, crimes such as theft and residential intrusion, which were spreading like flames, quickly disappeared.

It’s not just a story of Korea.

In most of the areas where the Lee Ho-jae Faith had spread, the crime rate had plummeted.......

-Isn’t that natural? In the midst of this, the only ones who break through the door of a convenience store are real criminals. Just sitting still, writing a comment, and praying, you can solve the problem of what to eat. So let’s trust the Lee Ho-jae Faith. Cold-hearted and charismatic, Lee Ho-jae is awesome.

-If I knew it would be like this, I would have joined the Lee Ho-jae Faith in advance and earned some public value...Fuck. I wrote comments all day and I’ve only earned 3000 points.

-I have already secured a survival capsule because my mother was an early believer in the Lee Ho-jae Faith. Haha

-Wow, congratulations. But what’s your address?

-Why are you asking for my address?

A few more days passed.

The time until the predicted meteor crash was decreasing.

But Earth was quickly regaining its tranquility.

This was usually the case in areas where the Lee Ho-jae Faith was spread.

The crimes committed to gain food in a time of crisis were completely resolved.

Rather than breaking into an already empty convenience store or factory warehouse, or breaking into someone else’s house to get food, it was much better to get the Lee Ho-jae Faith’s rewards.

The quantity was higher, it was much safer, and the freshness of the food was guaranteed at the time of purchase.

Above all, it wasn’t that difficult to get a reward.

[New sign-up event!]

[As soon as you join as a regular member, you can get an additional 150pt.]

[Please visit the nearest government office or the Lee Ho-jae Faith branch!]

Honestly, it was a beneficial event.

Those who confirmed that the rewards of this system were genuine became members of the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

If there was no Lee Ho-jae Faith in their area, they even opened a branch themselves.

If one put a sign saying the Lee Ho-jae Faith XX branch in front of one’s gate and sketched the mark of the Lee Ho-jae Faith, it was also a kind of branch and temple.

Once they became a member of the Lee Ho-jae Faith, they could not commit crime.

If a crime was committed, the content of the crime would be shown in the religious window.

And it could be easily checked by others.

It was the same as walking around with the stigma of a crime stamped on their forehead.

In fact, police now started checking people’s religious windows instead of ID cards.

In some areas, in order to lower the crime rate (and to gain public value for local leaders), all citizens were forced to join the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

People who became enthusiastic about public value actively reported criminals when they found them, and even caught them and handed them over to the police.

In this situation, the criminals had no choice but to repent for forgiveness or hide in a place out of sight.

It became an environment where people could not commit crimes because they were scared of human eyes.

However, there were some places where criminals were not afraid of being seen.

Usually, this was the case in areas where gangs expelled public power and created lawless zones when the unrest had just occurred, areas occupied by criminal or terrorist groups, and areas where the regime was reversed by coups by the military or awakened.

In Egypt, a group of awakened people who occupied the region forced local residents to join the Lee Ho-jae Faith and confiscated the food obtained as compensation.

Then, they tried to get their own survival capsules using the public value of the local people.

Of course, there was no way for public value to accumulate.

So instead of rewards, the challengers of the Tutorial were dispatched.

* * *

Muhammed, who had illegally occupied the province of Luxor in Egypt, was struck by an unexpected raid.

An unidentified enemy who unexpectedly struck government offices instantly annihilated his colleagues.

They couldn’t even resist.

Muhammed was a bold Awakened who cleared the Tutorial’s hard difficulty and accumulated various majors on Earth.

However, even in his eyes, the attacker’s skills were extraordinary.

His own colleagues were wiped out before they could even resist properly.

Muhammed gave up his resistance and escaped, trying to talk his way out.

Then he noticed that the attacker’s face was familiar.

“Khalik! You’re Khalik!?”

He found a challenger of hard difficulty like himself, Khalik.

“You saw me in competition! We used to talk about it in the community!”

A man called Khalik replied after tilting his head for a moment.

“Ah... I did. Are you Muhammed?”

“Right! Yes, I am Muhammed.”

Muhammed answered back even though he felt suspicious.

That Khalik was stuck in the Tutorial.

How is he on Earth?

And for what reason was Khalik attacking him?

Above all else, how did he become so strong?

Rather than immediately asking questions, Muhammed began talking to divert Khalik’s attention and gain favor.

“You said that your family is in Rousseau, right?”

“No.”

“Huh...? I’m sure you...”

“My family is being protected elsewhere.”

Khalik, who responded frankly, frowned.

It was because of the message that appeared before his eyes.

[Warning! GM has confirmed your negligent attitude.]

[Spending time meaninglessly during a mission may be subject to discipline]

[GM demands that the mission be completed immediately.]

“Ha... I wanted to rest a little more.”

“What...?”

Khalik swung his sword at Muhammed, who expressed doubt.

After killing him neatly, Khalik threw his sword into his inventory and checked the settlement message.

[Special Quest – Defeat the hordes of awakened criminals who occupy Luxor.]

[The special dispatch mission has been successfully accomplished.]

[Reward 1732pt.]

[The dispatch mission ends.]

[Return to the Tutorial. Be prepared for the move.]

Khalik felt gloomy.

He will surely start a mission as soon as he returns to the Tutorial.

“...The mission is over, can I take a break?”

[GM denies your request. You still need more training.]

“Ha.......”

Khalik was summoned to the Tutorial with a sigh.

* * *

“It’s empty.”

Said Seregia.

I agree.

Everyone got busy, so I was left alone at the temple.

Hochi and Kim Min-hyuk were really busy.

In particular, Hochi wanted to make up for his mistake, attending the summit meeting to inform the Lee Ho-jae Faith and preaching in remote areas where the Lee Ho-jae Faith could not be spread.

Hochi knew the timing. He introduced new features to the believers.

It was a joint purchase.

[The joint purchase function will be activated from today onwards.]

[With the consent of multiple people, joint purchase of rewards is possible.]

[Joint purchase event begins!]

[When purchasing for more than 100 people, the price of the item will be discounted by 10%.]

[[When purchasing for more than 10,000 people, the price of the item will be discounted by 20%.]

[When purchasing for more than 1,000,000 people, the price of the item will be discounted by 30%.]

It is now possible to collect all of the family’s scores and purchase survival capsules one by one.

Of course, it was not a function for selling capsules.

[Superior Miracle-Outer Space Confrontation: 10,000,000,000,000pt]

[You can protect the planet from threats from space.]

[For example, a meteorite.]

[Co-purchase is in progress.]

[You can participate in joint purchase after consent.]

[Current Purchase Achievement-Outer Space Confrontation: (814,332/10,000,000,000,000)]

It was for this.

Honestly, there was a lot of skepticism.

Obviously, a conspiracy theory will emerge that the meteorite was manipulated to crash on Earth for the expansion of the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

It was questionable whether the score of 10 trillion would be gathered.

Would people spontaneously try to score those astronomical figures?

It was unlikely.

First, I decided to leave it to Hochi, so I didn’t stop him.

“Why aren’t you doing anything by yourself? Why are you the only one lazing around?”

It was shocking.

I can’t believe Seregia asked me why I’m so lazy.

“Because I have nothing to do.”

“Isn’t there a quest for the Hundred Gods Temple?”

“No.”

“Yes?”

There really wasn’t.

A few days ago, the quest window of the Hundred Gods Temple went blank.

[God of Light-(Completed)]

[God of Light-(NEW!)]

[God of Light-(NEW!)]

[God of Remorse-Dialogue with the God of Duel (Completed)]

[God of Origin-Dialogue with the God of Duel (Completed)]

[God of Commitment-Dialogue with the God of Duel (Completed)]

[God of Hope-Truce (Completed)]

[God of Death-Purification of Thanatos (in progress)]

[God of Heaven-?]

[God of Adventure-?]

[God of Pain-?]

[God of Nature-?]

.

.

.

If it wasn’t an already completed quest, it was all question marks.

Kirikiri said that the question mark means that they have not yet decided on a quest.

All of the quests that weren’t question marks were either already completed or in progress, so there was nothing I could do.

There was a quest from the God of Light, but I decided to ignore that.

“That’s weird.”

“Right?”

Although there wasn’t a question mark before.

Not all remaining gods have question marks.

Something is coming.

I had to think so.

Since it was on the verge of an event, I decided to finish the quest and watch the result.

To be able to reset the quest according to the result.

“Is that really just a meteorite?”

“Maybe not. If it isn’t, you can use it to decorate a different story.”

In any case, I had to remain still on Earth in order to be prepared for an emergency.

At least until I know what’s going on.

“How about the rabbit?”

Seregia asked about Kirikiri.

“I do not know.”

After the quest window was flooded with question marks, she couldn’t be contacted.

I then realized that previously I was too dependent on Kirikiri.

Most of the information I knew came from Kirikiri.

“Have you thought about the possibility of turning around?”

“What are you talking about?”

“When the Hundred Gods Temple quests are all completed, they promised to transfer the Tutorial to you. If you do not complete the quests, it cannot be transferred. They may deliberately not present a quest in order to not give the Tutorial.”

Things like that were possible too.

In fact, it is very likely.

It isn’t only one god who doesn’t want to pass the Tutorial to me.

There must be at least four or five.

And such gods can use the very simple method of not giving me a quest.

I was expecting it from before.

The God of Hope did that.

There has been a story that they have been taking advantage of the system loopholes, and even within the Tutorial.

Even if I recall the words they said to me in the past, the God of Hope was a god that would think negatively of the Tutorial transfer.

Although the God of Hope attacked first, the fight began.

If not, someday I would have attacked the God of Hope first.

From the beginning, I tried to clear the quest as much as possible, but I was thinking of obtaining permission even for the gods who gave impossible quests with effort.

“What if all the remaining gods reject the system?”

Asked Seregia.

There was nothing to worry about.

The answer was set a long time ago.

“We have to follow the original plan.”

Before making a deal with Kirikiri to transfer the Tutorial in exchange for the quests.

As I promised when I was trapped on the 60th floor.

“I have to beat them all down.”
