Chapter Title: The Gap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, you there! Stop slacking and get moving!"
Kim Taehun shouted, and the kids grumbled as they carried out their assigned tasks from their spots.
"Fuck. What the hell is this? Why do we have to do this shit?"
"Tell me about it. Where the hell's the rescue team? No way those idiots don't even know our plane made an emergency landing, right?"
"When we get back, I'm beating the crap out of everyone involved. Fuck, all of them."
Even as they complained, the kids didn't stop working.
They had no choice.
Their lives were truly hanging by a thread. If they slacked off even a little here, they'd soon face a food shortage.
"Great work, everyone! The sun's getting brutal now, so come inside and rest!"
At Yoo Hana's call, they all gathered in the shade.
Exhaustion was plain on their faces.
"Whew, finally some rest."
"Water... I'm so thirsty. I want water."
The weary group dragged themselves over to drink.
But there wasn't much drinking water left.
"That's it? You're kidding, right? Give me more."
"Think of the people behind you. If I give you more, they won't even get a sip."
At Han Dogyeon's response, the green-haired, odd-eyed mixed-race girl snapped.
"Hey! I worked all morning and this is one cup?"
"What do you want me to do about it? You think I can dig a well or something?"
"Ah, why are you being such an asshole?!"
"Evelyn, you bitch, you started it... Hoo. Forget it. Move aside, I need to give to the next person."
"Don't be like that, give me more. Just take from Yoon Chaewon or Han Jiwon and give it to me. Honestly, are they even helping? They slack off and sneak away to sleep."
Han Dogyeon furrowed his brow and replied.
"Evelyn—or should I say Choi Youngmi? You're no slouch at slacking yourself."
"Hey! I told you not to call me that! Call me Evelyn! I'm changing my name to it soon!"
"Evelyn, Goblin, whatever—just fuck off already. Before I take that back. Or should I get Jaejun or Yoo Hana to talk to you?"
"Tch."
Only then did the woman irritably hurl her cup to the ground and step back.
"Next."
'They're really struggling.'
I smiled faintly as I watched the kids' every move through my binoculars.
No matter how hard they worked, it wasn't easy to get satisfying meals from bare ground.
It was impossible.
Modern technology had solved food issues, but without proper gear in this remote wilderness, eating your fill was nearly out of the question.
'That said, our Lee Hyunji is really suffering.'
The flight attendant standing at the very back of the water line, watching the kids warily.
Between watching her back and working, even I could see she was frazzled.
Especially since during the day she worked like that, and at night she had to serve as the guys' plaything, diligently sucking dick and shaking her ass.
Lately, it seemed like she was even drinking their piss—truly pushed to the brink.
'Tsk tsk. If she'd just kept quiet without causing trouble, she could've escaped with us and joined my side like a scientist.'
She brought this on herself. A self-inflicted disaster.
I had no obligation to help.
Confirming the kids were coughing from smoke as they grilled clams, I stood and returned to my group.
A savory aroma was already teasing our noses too.
"Master, time to eat!"
Today's menu: brown rice with fruit, veggies, and steak.
With all the cookware ready and even a married woman who'd borne a child, our meals had leveled up overnight.
Of course, we still couldn't buy processed foods, so rice was brown and there was no steak sauce, but someday when we had enough points, we'd have white rice and all kinds of sauces to dip into.
'Still, this is a feast.'
The women seemed to agree, serving food onto plates with happy faces as they ate.
"Ahh, this nutty aroma. Eating proper rice after so long feels amazing."
"And the meat? It reminds me of old camping trips. Yum! So good! Feels like we're just out having fun!"
Everyone looked moved.
Especially meat-lover Jeong Seohee—this meal hit the spot for her.
In an awkward half-standing, half-sitting pose, she wolfed down her plate and immediately grabbed more meat.
Seeing that wiggling ass, I slipped my hand into the back of her panties and fingered her pussy as I asked.
"How's it taste, Seohee? Good?"
She jolted at my fingering, turning a flushed face to me.
"W-Woojin. Everyone's watching."
"It's fine. Last night, they all watched you get fucked by me, right? No need to get shy now."
"Ugh. T-That's true, but still..."
"If you don't want it, I'll take it! Do me, Master!"
"No, Woojin, me!"
At their reactions, Jeong Seohee—who'd tried to pull my hand away—thrust her ass toward me instead.
Then she plastered herself to my side.
Embarrassed but determined not to yield her spot.
"Ah, I could've had it..."
The homeroom teacher and Kim Yeonju squeezed their thighs together, looking disappointed.
And the tomboy flashed a triumphant smile.
'Finally acting like my woman. She's adapting to our group well.'
Still, she needed more training.
I shoved another finger into Jeong Seohee's pussy and said.
"Seohee, wanna suck me off?"
"R-Right now?"
"Yeah. Wanna cum while eating."
"Ugh. You're impossible..."
Jeong Seohee buried her face in my crotch and bobbed up and down sloppily. Jolting each time my fingers thrust in, leaking pussy juice bit by bit.
I took the meat the homeroom teacher fed me and continued chatting and eating.
"Speaking of, Woojin, you're amazing. Never dreamed we'd eat like this on a barren rock."
"Thanks to you two cooking so well."
No way I could've done it alone—I'm clueless about cooking.
And that's not all.
With the homeroom teacher and Kim Yeonju handling dishes and laundry too, life had become incredibly comfortable.
Sometimes more than back on Earth.
No matter how convenient things are, they shine brightest with human touch.
Seeing this made me understand why the class kids kept summoning me for orders.
"Teacher, thought about what supplies we need?"
"Hmm. Well."
As I popped a strawberry in my mouth, Yuri scampered over, pressed her lips to mine, and shoved in her tongue.
Smack. Smack. Slurp.
"Nail clippers and cotton swabs first. And cosmetics."
"Cosmetics?"
We already had skin lotion and such.
When I gave her a look, the homeroom teacher pressed two index fingers together and wiggled them.
"That... isn't enough. Women use way more than men."
Ah, right. I'd been thinking like a guy.
"What all do you need, then?"
I popped another strawberry and tangled tongues with Yejin as I waited for her answer.
The homeroom teacher conferred briefly with Kim Yeonju before asking me.
"C-Can we list everything?"
"Of course. Go ahead."
"Okay..."
She took a quick breath and rattled them off.
"Toner, ampoules, moisturizer, eye cream, mist, emulsion, sunscreen, nutrition cream, foundation, blush, eyeliner, lipstick, mascara..."
No hesitation—a machine-gun barrage that left me dazed.
"W-Wait, Teacher. All that?"
"Huh? I haven't even finished."
Not even done?
I gathered my thoughts and asked again.
"N-No, I get the skincare stuff, but lipstick and mascara... why?"
I understood skincare cosmetics, but those were unrelated...
The homeroom teacher blushed like it was obvious, and loud-voiced Kim Yeonju answered instead.
"It's natural to want to look pretty for the one you love!"
"R-Really...?"
"Yes! So buy them. We'll serve you even prettier!"
Er... if that's the intent.
Who am I to argue if they doll up to get fucked by me.
I nodded. Squee! The two jumped for joy.
'Definitely different from the class kids.'
The class slaving away just to avoid starvation, while me and my women enjoyed good meals and worried about extras.
The gap between us was already irreparable.
And it would only widen.
Like chaebol heirs and commoners in the 21st century.
Rich and poor.
Polarization would intensify.
I grabbed the twins' heads, making them suck my nipples, then told Jeong Seohee with her face in my crotch.
"Cumming now. Swallow it all, don't spill."
Spurt. Spurt. Spuuurt.
Hoo. Incredible. Who'd think the day would come when daughters of elite families did such vulgar shit mid-meal at my command.
Jeong Seohee filled her mouth with my cum, then rose.
Gulp. Gulp gulp.
The tomboy struggled it down her throat.
Spotting leftover cum on my dick, I pressed the twins' heads down to clean it.
Smooch. Smooch. Suck suck.
The twins diligently licked my cock clean with their small mouths.
After cumming once, the heat subsided, letting cool reason settle in.
'Still, buying all those cosmetics at once will cost a fortune.'
"Wanna go out together after eating? Been a while."
"Really?"
"I wanna go! Take me too, Master!"
Cooped up so long, they all cheered excitedly.
With a glad heart, I led the group to the shore.
Then assigned tasks.
"Teacher and Yeonju, gather clams. Yuri and Yejin, sort the clams by type here. Okay?"
"Yes!"
They sprang into action.
With roles divided by ability, I didn't need to lift a finger.
I just relaxed in the shade, occasionally selling sorted clams via the shop.
Some might call me exploitative, but don't misunderstand.
This wasn't my doing.
Well, I aimed for it, but the women begged first.
"Woojin, you stay put!"
"Don't work, Master!"
"Eat well and rest, Woojin."
The ones wanting sex with me didn't want me wasting stamina.
The twins especially, after I got hurt once, never wanted me in danger.
If this were a historical drama, it'd be like, 'Your Majesty, preserve the royal body to sire heirs!'
"Alright, I'll head out then."
"Okay, see you."
Seohee, backpack stuffed with food for Park Jimin, kissed me and scampered off blushing like a girl.
I turned back to the two digging clams.
Scraaape. Scraaape.
Wielding clam rakes, they scooped up clams.
Where class kids got two or three, the teacher and Kim Yeonju got ten-plus.
While kids rested sore fingers, they kept hoeing.
Kids made trips back and forth; my women dragged nets piled with dozens of kilos at once.
The accumulation widened the gap insanely.
'This is why gear matters. RPGs are all about item power.'
When they brought heaps, the twins sorted them into prepared containers by type.
"Good job. Here, strawberries as a break."
Sparkly-eyed. Thrilled with four strawberries after an hour's work.
Four per kid: 1,000 won each, 8,000 cache total—but no worries now.
Reinforcement successful. Fee reduced to 0%.
Reached maximum reinforcement. Cannot reinforce further.
Shop fee reinforcement dropped the 90% fee to a whopping 0%!
It cost 10, 20, 30, 40... points per 10% reduction, burning my hard-saved 450 points over days, but the effect was tremendous.
Clams 7.12kg
Value:24,293 won
Cache Payout:24,293 won
No regrets at all.
Seeing cache skyrocket.
'Kya. Heartwarming. No middleman skimming—feels great.'
Oh, right. Can't just exploit my girls.
Having confirmed gear's power, shouldn't spread the value?
"Teacher, I'll step out briefly. Don't overdo it—manage rest times. Leaving food here."
"Okay, take care!"
