ㄴ Author: New birdbrain showed up so gotta do round 2
ㄴ lolololol
Flying magical beasts appeared in the sky.
"They're cheating."
A new magical beast with a woman's face and torso on a bird's body—a harpy.
Naturally, mob tower operations were temporarily halted as we shifted to harpy countermeasures.
The good news was that harpies weren't particularly strong magical beasts.

The reason? Because I one-shot a careless harpy instantly...

- Ahh... of course, 'elf'
- Hey, "Granny Kellierton's Staff Thief"
- Oh, you got it in one go?
ㄴ Author: Yeah, they're super weak
Their reaction speed and defense were both low.
Especially the human-like parts—they were as fragile as actual humans, breaking and injuring easily.
Thanks to that, we could easily hunt them by ambushing when they came down to rest.
- Can this be used as chicken meat substitute?
- Ah, morning glory lol
- But the torso is human-shaped?
ㄴ But the limbs are chicken meat, right?
Thanks to that, the gallery obsessed with chicken went out to hunt harpies, hoping for chicken meat harvests.
And so, the full-scale harpy hunting trend began.

You fucking bird beast bitch, why won't you come down?

- First time hearing a harpy laugh for real
- Fuck lololol that laughter is hilarious
- Yeah, even if you curse at it, it barely drops any spirit beads, right?
It didn't work.
It took too long to catch them.
On top of that, the spirit bead drop rate wasn't good.
"No way, only 10 spirit beads?"
For successfully hunting a small specimen, the drop rate was a measly 8~13 spirit beads.
Income like goblins, but hunting difficulty was high.
It was a magical beast where the effort poured in didn't match the rewards.
"But we can't just ignore them either."
Harpies flocked in groups to block paths or flew over cities, scouting for opportunities.
Harpies were like flies.
You couldn't ignore them, but dealing with them was a loss too.
Above all, Adrian didn't have the power to handle it.
With the higher-ups being purged and the imperial palace reorganization in full swing, there was no time to worry about harpies.
- Emperor, get to work!!!!!
- Who's gonna catch those?
- It is chicken meat... but might as well buy it instead of hunting those
- If it weren't for the harpy's unique feathers and the fetish for female-shaped beasts, no one would hunt them fr
ㄴ ?
ㄴ How would you know that, gallery bro?
A magical beast that was more of a loss the more you hunted.
In the end, special measures had to be taken.
A way to brilliantly wipe out the population of these pesky harmful animals.

Catch a harpy and get seasoned chicken sauce ㅇㅇ
[Recommendations 9999+] [Disrecommendations 0]
- !!!
- Seasoned chicken? Seasoned chicken... SEASONED CHICKEN!!!
- Honestly I like harpies ㅇㅇ
- Harpy hunting party / Kellierton 3-man recruitment@@@
We started providing seasoned sauce support.
*
Catch a harpy, get seasoned chicken sauce.
And it wasn't even expensive.
A whopping 10kg for just 30 points.
"Does the meat and salt come from your ancestors or what?"
The problem was the lack of brining and meat.
Selling just sauce without meat would be a waste, only reducing the harpy population pointlessly.
"That's why I haven't sold it until now..."
But things were different now.
[Title: Going to catch sax]
Harpy
[Recommendations 120] [Disrecommendations 2]
- Something feels off about this
- Repetition of synonyms
- Buying harpy meat
ㄴ Author: Not selling, gotta make chicken
With sauce support, demand for harpy hunting surged.
No? It wasn't just surging.
[Title: Don't Put Poison in Stray Cat Food, Fuck]

[Recommendations 4032] [Disrecommendations 1023]
- As expected, elf strays steal food
- Sigh, elves gonna elf
ㄴ Kyaaak!
ㄴ You think making weird noises and posting elf memes makes you an elf?!
- That was rat poison set for harpy bait
ㄴ No, it was prepped in a hunting sack from the start, why the fuck
ㄴ Author: (Tastes good! Elf content)
ㄴ Elves don't eat that stuff!
ㄴ Heeeek!!!
They were even checking each other, worrying about the harpy population.
"Honestly, chicken one-trick pony."
Considering it only had one merit—chicken—it was an abnormal supply glut.
Hunting other beasts as main job would make more money.
But the reason harpy hunting trended anyway was simple.
- It's delicious
- Fr, what's the point of making money?
- Crime for chicken cravings
ㄴ Huh?
ㄴ Chimeokdon! Chimeokdon! Chimeokdon! Chimeokdon!
Making money to eat chicken.
- But how do you brine it?
ㄴ Just need salt
ㄴ Where do you get salt?
ㄴ ?
The problem was salt.
Chicken needed brining.
People busy surviving in this apocalyptic medieval world wouldn't have salt.

"But the shop has it."
Salt? Of course the shop sells it.
In various types and prices.
Normally, when things got stuck like this, I'd sell items in the middle...
But this time, I didn't put it on the market.
- Whew... mining industry these days...
- Can't do anything about jewels
- It's your brother's business, so it's natural you can't help, right?
Conveniently, there were dwarves.
*
Jewelry business, one of the dwarves' main incomes.
Of course, it went to shit like dogs.

[Recommendations 7492] [Disrecommendations 10]
- Wow fuck it's so pretty
- Wow, wow... no, it's a real work of art...
- Uh, where can I get one!
ㄴ Author: Judak gave it to me ^^ None left in the world
ㄴ No way
"It was because of me."
The toy jewels given to the gold dragon Malang-i unexpectedly spread big time.
Cheap few-point fake jewels overtook real ones in rarity.
Poor people didn't want to buy, rich people dreamed of fancy stones.
"Not intentional, but whatever..."
So I tried helping elsewhere, and conveniently, there was rock salt.
Globally, salt was mined more from mines than the sea.
Judak*: Hey
Tadain: Oh brother, what's up?
I messaged Tadain, king of the dwarves.
Judak*: I'm not selling salt myself
Judak*: You guys take some profit
Dwarves had too much unsold rock salt.
The market already had my modern salt that nailed quality and price.
But I had tons of points and spirit beads.
No, too many.
To the point I was considering building another bunker, no need for salt selling.
"It's just one of my many incomes anyway."
Plus, dwarves generously gifted famed swords.
Didn't they handle the bunker air purifier role perfectly?
Tadain: Brother, you know what that means
Tadain: Handing over the market to us without any price?
Problem was, dwarves distinguished public and private sharply.
Tadain, king of dwarves, questioned the favor without precursor or context.
Judak*: I took your jewelry business
So I gave some reason.
Tadain: Why call it 'taking'?
Tadain: It's thanks to brother's excellence, not us losing it
"No, I'm saying I'm not taking it."
If they were elves or humans, they might've begged before I even offered.
Dwarves showed no care even with a main business gone.
"Hmm..."
But I really didn't need the salt business.
Better give it to dwarves to boost interspecies trade volume; self-sufficiency would benefit me.
"What to say to make them accept."
But dwarves were dwarves, starving to death.
Species pride till death, right?
While pondering, a title came to mind.
"Oh right. Brother shield."
Unlike other races calling me Judak, dwarves called me brother.
Judak*: We're brothers aren't we
Judak*: Share and help each other, that stuff ㅇㅇ
So I brought up the brother reason.
Tadain: Krhuk...
Judak*: ?
Suddenly Tadain started crying.
"No way, those muscle dwarves?"
Dwarves who'd love getting stabbed as battle?
While flustered, Tadain continued slowly.
Tadain: Never even met face-to-face, yet you think of us that much...
Tadain: First being so favorable to dwarves is you, brother...
Judak*: No, that's not it
Tadain: Right. Refusing brother's favor outright isn't proper
Tadain: As king, I promise. We dwarves will never forget brother's help!
Somehow succeeded in getting dwarves' promise.

- How to eat harpy chicken deliciously...jpg
- Calculated mob tower profit margins made by Judak
- My world is bright again...
After turning harpies into chicken.
Fortunately, the mob tower resumed operations.
First success in profiting from rifts without damage.
Dragon Will Die: As expected, impressive :) So you'll build more mob towers with rifts from now on?
A factory producing food and spirit beads virtually unlimited.
But I shook my head at Pellisi's question.
"Impossible."
Mob tower was a special case.
Normally, rifts were just headaches.
At first few in number, now popping up indiscriminately everywhere, tripping over them.
"Big rifts maybe make mob towers somehow, but small ones are the issue."
Rifts everywhere.
Outskirts, rural villages, underground, lakes.
Problem: Can't destroy them.
No, that was normal gallery perception.
But with exponential increase now, normalization seemed necessary.
Judak*: No
Judak*: Time to do it now
Dragon Will Die: ㅇuㅇ? Do what?
"What else."
Rift overpopulation.
Wave dangers, increasing beasts.
Judak*: Start the rift smashing campaign
Rifts were no longer profitable.
Especially mid-small rifts impossible for mob towers became societal issues.
"We milked it long enough."
Rifts never break?
Gotta try to know.
"This should do it."
I slowly opened the shop and mass-purchased what I'd planned.
