Dwarves were a nation of craftsmen.
No other race could match their skill in weapons, armor, or construction.
That was probably why they were so stubborn.
They had immense pride in themselves and never yielded an inch, making it hard for them to mingle with other races.
- Wow~ Are the dwarves still being total hardasses?
- That's why they're still tribal outcasts, right?
- ㅋㄷㅋㄷ Totally agree!
> Go to the elf thread and get some sleep.
> Better than you guys.
> Ugh, the dwarf stench is intense.
Of course, not as bad as elves.
Title: Dwarves, come check this out
Author: Judak☆
You said your head hurts.
What's the reason you're not taking the medicine?
(Cat meme shoving its face into the screen)
Are you guys treating it like heresy from the church and refusing my medicine?
Just take it and get better quick!
Get better and activate the gallery more!!
- Ahem, it's not like that...
> On the contrary, we trust it. It helped us a lot during the restoration, why would we doubt it?
> Right. It must work.
> Judak☆: Then why aren't you taking it?
> Well, that's...

Taldrue: It's the macho culture, you see.
Taldrue straightforwardly explained why the dwarves in the gallery were hesitating to answer.
Taldrue was an acquaintance among the dwarves, casually spilling their internal affairs.
Taldrue: Commonly known as pride.
Judak☆: What?
Taldrue: Our race has lived without medicine for ages.
Taldrue: There's a deep-rooted notion that taking medicine makes you weak.
So the dwarves told to take it were stubbornly holding out without doing so?
On top of that, the effects showed up elsewhere.

Other gallery users were actually loving it.
But I wasn't too fazed.
I had my own methods for times like this.
"Hmm, I didn't want to use this one."
A method of shaping public opinion that had been used since my previous life, right from the gallery's creation.
- Reasons why Tylenol is truly amazing...
- How to fix a headache in one shot...
The traditional promotion method (viral).

Title: What the hell is this? For real?
(Meme of holding Tylenol in one hand)
The more I look at this, the more amazing it is.
I never took stuff like medicine because it felt unmanly, but after taking it, my work efficiency doubled ㄷㄷ;
Even my friends around me are saying I'm amazing, asking what I took.

- What the hell with that rec ratio?
- Hmm, deserving that many recs?
- But this is legit, your vitality changes completely the moment you take it.
> Hmm...
> Still, medicine feels off.
> Weak humans take medicine.
> Right. Feels unmanly.
"The reactions are still lukewarm."
The first post always gets a lot of suspicion.
But what's the point of the traditional method (viral)?
It's all about repetitive promotion.
Title: Something you're guaranteed to regret not knowing...jpg
(Meme of a dwarf warrior flexing muscles while verifying Tylenol)
It's this Tylenol.
Lately, my head's been hurting a lot, causing me grief, but this thing is the real deal.
Take it when your head hurts, and done.
Training time doubled—no, tripled.
(Meme of a dwarf beauty in admiration)
(Meme of dwarf beauty and warrior showing off muscles to each other)
(Meme of dwarf beauty approvingly looking at Tylenol)
Haha, thanks to it, I even got a muscular beauty girlfriend.
You guys should grab one each.

> Author) Wise choice. Efficiency goes up.
> This is real. I took Tylenol, efficiency up, got a girlfriend.
> Khm... Then me too...?
"Perfect."
In the dark warehouse interior, I had the gallery screen up and grinned sinisterly.
Posts that would've been dismissed as viral marketing in my previous life worked perfectly on the naive isekai residents.
No one had tried it before.
Lots of recs make it seem legit, and with reviews, they get swept up in the hype easily.
If they're stubborn, don't break it—just gently redirect that stubbornness.
"Now just the finale left."
But viral doesn't end here.
Tadain: Should I post now?
Judak☆: Go for it.
Tadain: Got it, brother. Keep your promise.
I'd built new connections through Taldrue.
This dwarf named Tadain was definitely the final key to succeeding with the gallery's traditional marketing (viral, rec manipulation squad).
Judak☆: Of course I remember ㅇㅇ
[Judak☆ proposes 3 bottles each of White Rum / Gold Rum / Dark Rum]
Tadain: This is Judak's rum...!
Tadain: Thanks! Love you, brother!!!
Judak☆: ㅋㅋ Mix 'em and drink.
Tadain: .
Judak☆: Dude.
Finally, with the approval of the dwarves' king, Tadain, it would wrap up.
Dwarves valued macho spirit and strength over blood ties, so the influence of their king, Tadain, went without saying.
Title: Everyone likes Tylenol, should I smash that rec button?
(Tylenol meme)
Starting with the hype ㅋㅋ
Tylenol endorsed by the dwarf king—shouldn't we all take it?

[Judak's Market 'Tylenol' has sold out.]
The ripple effect was beyond imagination.
Even with a generous stock, it sold out in minutes.
The viral (traditional method) effect was tremendous.
"This should fix the headaches, right?"
I figured that paid off the famous sword and sleep light the dwarves gave me.
As I was about to turn off the holy sword light and sleep, a question post went up.
Question Post) Brother Judak, got a question.
(Tylenol ingredients meme)
There's this thing called acetaminophen.
Never heard of it in my life—what is it?
- Right, I was curious too.
- Sounds just like a skill name.
- Perfect for a weapon name.
More dwarves than expected were curious about the ingredient.
I was about to sleep but left a quick reply.
- Judak☆: Oh, that's the Tylenol ingredient.
> Weird name.
> Any precautions?
"Oh right, I forgot to mention precautions."
Handing out medicine isn't the end.
Shoving it all in doesn't boost effects, and Tylenol especially has one key caution.
- Judak☆: Don't take it with alcohol.
> .
> ?
> What?
> Aha! Don't take after drinking, right?
> Take before drinking?
> So just be a little careful! No harm to the body, right?
- Judak☆: Nah, best not to take it on days you drink.
I wrote it casually.
Not like people drink every day.
But I overlooked something.
Dwarves drink while researching, reforging weapons, even in the mines.
Alcohol is like water to them.
Not knowing their love for booze, I said it lightly.
- Dkiiiyaaaaak!
- Demon! Demon medicine!!!
- We must destroy it! That medicine must vanish from this world!!!
- War, it's war!
The dwarves chose booze over medicine.

> Judak☆: This fucking ^^ shit.
Exactly the same posts as the start.
But astonishingly, these were posted days later.
Dwarves who learned the red pill truth wouldn't touch the medicine.
One line about no booze sent them into hysterics, leading to this.
- ㅋㅋ Essential medicine is pure gold.
- Yeah, please keep boycotting.
- ㅋㅋㅋ 'Human victory'
- Yummy~~~
Chronic headache sufferers were the only winners.
No dwarves bought any.
Headache problem persisted.
"Lately, the rifts seem bigger..."
My rift in the warehouse corner, Pet Lava, had grown larger.
Probably why more complaints in the gallery—limit of viral?
"Need countermeasures for rifts."
I have my trusty shotgun and long-term gallery immunity, but other races don't.
Anything could pop out anytime.
This was post-war standoff, not armistice.
Gallery runs on healthy users.
At least want nausea countermeasures.
As I pondered alone.
DecentPure: Lord Judak, you in~?
Message from the favorability nick Dryer.
Judak☆: Whoa.
DecentPure: *^^*?
Judak☆: Are you finally about to post the meme? Can I ask if that's it? AHHH!!!!!
DecentPure: ^^;
A month since the succubus DecentPure's meal issue led to the erotic pic ban.
Hoped she might post, but not the reason for contact.
DecentPure: Got a way to solve the dwarves' headache problem... Wanna hear? ㅇ3ㅇ?
It was about the dwarf issue I'd been worrying over.
Judak☆: Ooh, a method?
DecentPure: *^^* Of course!
Her confident reply piqued my curiosity, so I listened to her proposal.
Judak☆: Oh?
A truly tempting offer.
The next day.
