"Everyone, calm down and listen to me!"
My voice, infused with mana, boomed loudly. The gazes of the 4,900 villagers, including the hunters, turned toward me.
Pronouncing Chinese was no problem. Ever since entering and exiting the [Taiji Supreme] world, I could speak it at a native level.
"We haven't died yet! The situation is desperate, but hope still remains! The Association, even if contact is cut off, will notice the anomaly right away and send support for us! There's only one thing we need to do! Hold out until the support arrives!"
The villagers' panic stopped. Anxiety lingered, but the earlier chaos was gone.
"That Korean hunter is inciting the villagers."
"Why's a Korean acting so bold?"
"Let's speak up. Otherwise, all the villagers might fall for that Korean."
The Chinese hunters murmured among themselves.
Their words sounded plausible, but it was clear they were unhappy about me standing above them and the villagers.
And probably because I was Korean, too. Chinese people had unnecessarily high pride, whether due to Han Chinese supremacy or something. Especially the Chinese hunters who saw themselves as martial artists or knights-errant—it was even worse with them.
"Shut up and listen. He's far more helpful than the likes of you."
"......"
Liu Ziying spoke, and the Chinese hunters fell silent. They couldn't dare express dissatisfaction to her. But one close to Liu Ziying was different.
"M-Miss..."
"Gong Gon. I said shut up. He's not wrong. Don't act so disgracefully. If you're jealous, you should have stepped up before he did. You missed that chance yourselves."
"......"
Liu Ziying backed me up.
My eyes met Liu Ziying's in midair. Her face flushed red, and she turned her head to the side.
"H-Hey, but monsters are swarming outside. Can we really hold out?!"
One of the villagers shouted.
"We're hunters. If we fortify the village a bit and set up barriers or traps, we can handle even B-rank monsters. And if you all help us, holding out against monsters in the village will be nothing!"
"What about food?! We only have enough for a week! We scraped it together just to evacuate..."
At his words, despair crept back onto the villagers' faces. No matter how long we could hold out, without food, we'd starve. Hunt monsters to eat? The odds of edible monsters nearby were low. And 26 hunters couldn't possibly provide enough for 4,900 people.
'Kuhuhu. I've been waiting for that question!'
I pulled a pouch from my pocket.
"This is my sub-space pouch. My greatest treasure."
"Sub-space pouch...?"
Most villagers didn't know what a sub-space pouch was. But the hunters did. They stared in shock at the pouch in my hand.
In this world, a sub-space pouch cost at least tens of billions to hundreds of billions. And it was so popular that money alone didn't guarantee you could buy one.
"As a hunter, I always carry emergency rations and supplies in case of crises. Watch closely."
I reached into the pouch and pulled out emergency rations. Gasps of admiration erupted from those watching.
"Wow! F-Food!"
"A real sub-space pouch?!"
"If that guy's with us, we can survive!"
Of course, I didn't have a sub-space pouch. It was just an ordinary pouch. I'd hidden my smartphone inside and used my inventory to fool them by pulling out items.
'If I had a sub-space pouch, the Association would hassle me... Later, I'll fight monsters in front of people and rip it to shreds for a clean getaway.'
Perfect cover-up.
"We can survive! Trust me!"
"We trust you, Lord Sung!"
Lord Sung.
Music to my ears.
???
I'd become the representative, but I couldn't manage all 4,900 villagers alone. I could if I tried, but I needed time to work on women, too.
'Just delegate the work.'
I assigned tasks to the Korean and Chinese hunters. The Koreans, inspired by my example, worked enthusiastically. The Chinese, driven by rivalry not to lose to me, stepped up aggressively.
Thanks to them, my workload lightened. I even had some free time.
My main job was distributing emergency rations to the villagers. And I deliberately rationed them short.
I set up a tent, and villagers entered one by one.
"Write your name, age, and address here."
I handed him a notebook and pen. He filled in the info. It was to track who got rations and who didn't.
"Mm. Good."
I handed him the rations.
"Lord Sung! This isn't enough! Can't you give me a bit more?!"
"Sorry. Can't do that. There are plenty more who need rations. Look behind you."
The man turned and flinched. I'd hung a curtain over the tent flap for this. Peeking through, thousands lined up glared at him murderously. They'd heard his voice through the tent.
"I-I understand! Thank you! Lord Sung!"
He grabbed his rations and bolted out the back exit.
"Next!"
I opened the flap, and a beauty with long black hair entered. Dizzyingly short skirt, deep cleavage. Lipstick on her lips, heavy perfume as she approached.
'Ooh. Jackpot.'
The beauty I'd been waiting for. She smiled seductively at me, and I curled my lips in response.
When a woman uses the honey trap, respond like this. If you don't show interest, she might give up.
"Write your name, age, and address here."
She leaned over the table to write. Name: Xiao Deng-hua, age: 26.
'Oh. No bra.'
As she bent, pale breast ends with light brown nipples peeked from the deep valley. Sensing my gaze, she leaned further, slowly writing her address.
"Ah...! I-I wrote it wrong!"
"No problem. Take your time and rewrite it."
I reached toward her chest. Xiao Deng-hua startled but didn't scream or resist. Instead, she smiled seductively, came around the table, and sat on my thigh. Perfume and makeup scents wafted, designed to tempt men.
"Lord Sung..."
Xiao Deng-hua whispered in my ear. My hand kneaded her breast, my eyes fixed on her hiked-up miniskirt.
Red mesh panties. Crushed hair and labia visible through the mesh.
"Can't you give me just a little more food?"
She whispered again. I lowered my voice.
"Of course, if you need it. But..."
My hand slipped between her legs, pushing aside the mesh panties. Stroking her exposed pussy with Erogenous Zone Heightening, she shuddered.
"There are too many eyes around. Others will get jealous. I'll come to you later with supplies. For now, just go."
Why I set up the tent and rationed food. To find women like this.
"O-Okay. You have to come."
Xiao Deng-hua stood. She took her rations and left. I felt regret but had no choice.
Couldn't dawdle here. The villagers outside would notice.
I noted Xiao Deng-hua's info in a separate notebook. Women like her were easy conquests.
"Next!"
"Lord Sung!"
An auntie appeared. Not a beauty. Chubby, big mole by her nose, rough skin.
"Lord Sung, you're so cool. Seeing you, I..."
Suppressing irritation at her dramatics, I said,
"No time. Write your name and address quick and take the food! Hurry!"
Startled by my shout, the auntie moved fast.
Soon, another beauty entered. Petite, slim figure, but pretty face and skin. Cute type.
'I prefer busty hourglasses, but cute works too.'
Pretty is pretty.
"H-Hi, Lord Sung."
She approached shyly.
Not all beauties use honey traps. Only a few did. Most found me intimidating.
"Nice to meet you. Write your name, age, and address here, take the food, and exit there."
I treated her gently.
My value wasn't that high yet. Only a day isolated. But as time passed, villagers would rely on me, and my food would be worth more than gold.
'If the Association sends support on time, maybe not... But with China's situation, no such luxury.'
Villagers in despair and anxiety. I, their hope. The worse the situation, the easier to seduce anxious women. I had food and supplies.
"Here's your food."
"Th-Thank you! Lord Sung!"
"No big deal. Just doing what needs doing. If you have any troubles, come find me. I'll help with all I have."
"Lord Sung..."
She looked at me with moved expression.
I continued distributing. The endless line forced me to handle multiples at once eventually.
I didn't forget to skim beauties' info.
???
After finishing work and dinner, I headed to Xiao Deng-hua's house. Didn't go inside. Family was there.
I quietly called her out through the window.
"Lord Sung...! You came!"
"I said I'd come. Couldn't come empty-handed... Brought gifts."
I handed her food and necessities. Her face lit up like the sun. Enough for her family for two weeks comfortably.
"Thank you! Lord Sung!"
"No biggie."
I leered, scanning her body top to bottom. Shorts and t-shirt. Not as revealing as when she got rations.
Her face stiffened briefly, then she whispered,
"Can you sneak into my room? I'll leave the window open."
"Easy."
Xiao Deng-hua went inside. I climbed through the open window.
"Come on i... Ack...!"
I lunged at Xiao Deng-hua, jumping onto the bed. Stripped her t-shirt and shorts, baring her naked in seconds. Sucked her nipple while fingering her pussy.
"Ahng..., Ha-eung..."
Startled by her leaking moans, she covered her mouth. Family was in the house.
When her pussy was soaked enough, I dropped my pants, rubbed my cock on it, coating the glans in her juices.
"Th-That thing's so big...!"
"It's fine. Trust me."
"Ah, aa... Euph...!"
???
That night.
Back at the lodging, I gave Han Ha-rin a massage.
"Heut. Haa..."
Each time my hands ravaged her naked body, pleasure-mixed moans escaped. After a few focused rubs, she climaxed. My hands moved from her smooth slim waist to her apple-like ass.
Squeeze.
Grabbing one cheek spread them, revealing twitching anus and drenched pink pussy.
I gripped her waist as she lay prone on the bed, lifting it for easy thrusting. No resistance.
"As expected, Ha-rin. Your body's always so fuckable."
"I said don't casually drop the honorifics. ...And you, which woman did you roll around with today?"
Han Ha-rin turned her head slightly, glaring at me.
