Roland's new product launch event.

Dr. Toddler, who invented many products and announced himself, was really nervous this time.

It's today.

Yes, it's a revolutionary day.

As the manager said, it is truly a revolutionary product.

Treasure enough to drastically lower the risk of dungeon capture.

It's the first time I've seen Dr. so nervous.

Toddler laughed at the manager's words.

It has to be.

This is a huge achievement.

Perhaps his name will never be left out among the scientists who open the era of the dimensional industry.

It is an item that is different from other dimensional energy measuring instruments.

Isn't this something that marks history?

It is something that will change the paradigm of dungeon attack.

It's time.

Oh my gosh. I'll see you.

I followed the manager to the presentation hall.

People were waiting there, like a gigantic musical theater.

The small hall that can accommodate about 500 people was invited and about half found the owner of the seat.

'Just three months ago, this little solitude would not have been enough.'

That is the case now.

He lost control of the sky and the sea.

Transportation was cut off, logistics stopped, and people-to-people exchanges disappeared.

It was not for any particular reason that officials from cities across Europe, such as France and Germany, and those related to large guilds from all over Europe responded to the invitation and came to England.

'Disclosure of Hearthstone and Open Bidding.'

If it weren't for the auction, 80% of the event today would not have been present.

Dr. Toddler sat down in his chair with a focused gaze.

Nice to meet you, everyone.

The CEO of Roland Corporation went on stage and talked about the inventions the company had put out after the cataclysm, their position in the market, and changes in the market.

Graphs such as changes in market share after the advent of the bloodstone engine and replacing the internal combustion engine appeared.

Yes, it was the most innovative and shocking invention.

The advent of the bloodstone engine, which announced the end of the internal combustion engine, was the beginning of innovation and the item that made Roland a global company.

The market share, which began to increase explosively, stagnated at some point, and has been steadily declining in recent years.

Yeah, I know. Everyone here knows. What's the use of intellectual property in this damn world?

Copy products are overflowing.

It's not a difficult skill.

Since Roland, the first company that developed it, has the patent right, companies around the world paid the patent fee for granted at first, but soon some companies took notice and did not pay it.

The world situation is not at such a level that the world convention can be raised.

Separation and self-reliance are the latest moods.

Can we focus our passion on research and development that has no benefit in this world?

Roland's CEO didn't care whether the product made money or not.

Make a copy or not, do whatever you want.

This is not to make money, but to protect the market to make money.

Yes, this is the product that everyone here has been waiting for. As the CEO, I have never felt more proud than this time.

A round sphere engraved with geometric patterns appeared on the screen.

It's not a soccer ball.

It looked like a soccer ball made of iron, but the irregularly chamfered surface revealed the contents inside.

This is the lifeline of the heroes of mankind, and an item that will save many cities.

The yellow mineral defied gravity and floated in the center of the sphere.

We named it Hearthstone.

People waited for the next explanation.

As everyone inferred, it is an item that creates a portal through which you can escape from a situation where you can no longer proceed during a dungeon raid.

Wow!

I've already heard the news.

That's why they're all gathered here for the auction.

This is no different than the lifeline of the advance squad.

It was also an item that gave courage to challenge a more difficult dungeon.

It's too early to welcome.

Roland CEO declared while enjoying the public eye.

How to use the Hearthstone and how it works, and I plan to open all the Labs.

Wow!

A louder cheer than before rang through the hall.

This is an essential item for the survival of mankind, and it is an asset that all mankind must share.

The CEO of Roland turned his attention to Dr. Toddler, who was seated in the front row of the grandstand.

For a detailed explanation, Dr. Toddler, who oversaw R D, will help.

Toddler went up to the auditorium, hugged the CEO, and took the microphone over.

This is Toddler. First of all, I would like to thank the British government for providing valuable materials for this research...

After a long thank-you note, the specific specifications of the Hearthstone were introduced.

Operates in response to the user's magical energy, creating a portal that will allow you to return to Earth in approximately one minute.

Is this a one-time item?

Dr. Toddler smiled and answered the question of someone with a quick temper.

no.

This is the true value of this item.

Energy is consumed each time it is activated, and the energy consumption is different for each dungeon. The energy consumption in 1-star dungeon and 2-star dungeon is about doubled, and experiments have been completed up to 6-star dungeon. About 25% of the energy was consumed.

This is a consumable item that can be used 4 times in a 6 star dungeon.

It is not yet tested, but it is estimated that it can be used about twice in 7-star dungeons.

Is it possible to recharge energy?

Someone's question contained the expectations of everyone gathered here. If it can be recharged, that item can be used permanently.

of course.

Cheers erupted at Dr. Toddler's confirmation.

What can I charge with?

Do you turn electricity into energy?

Are you charging with bloodstone?

Looking at them, Dr. Toddler flipped the presentation screen.

One yellow ore.

It looked exactly like the core inside the hearthstone.

Dimensional Stone. This is the only energy and means of charging the Hearthstone.

Some knew the existence of the dimension stone, and some did not.

Where can I get it?

You can get a certain probability when hunting a monarch-level monster.

Dr. Toddler announced.

If you buy a dimension stone, we will make a hearthstone for free. Of course, the production method will also be disclosed in detail on the Rolandsa website from this time on.

He solved the recipe for the hearthstone for the survival of mankind. No license required.

Anyone can use it.

It is a declaration of war and pressure for humanity, a more complex commerce, and for someone else.

Dr. Richard's lab in LA.

Damn it.

Dr. Richard spit while watching the TV show.

You motherfucker.

He's not worth any swearing.

It has only been a week since the development of the mobile portal.

He was excited to publish his thesis, but was under pressure from Los Angeles Mayor Howard.

He hid all relevant data and hid this 'achievement'.

By his ambitions for the interests of his own company and for the power of Howard's market.

Damn it!

Isn't that just too much of a comparison?

Toddler and Richard are always competing for the top spot when it comes to choosing scientists who lead the dimensional industrial era.

The money ghost did not monopolize that precious item for some whim, but released it to the world for free.

Already, public opinion praising Dr. Toddler and Roland was boiling over.

On the other hand, he... .

They're all assholes.

Why are there so many greedy people around them who only know their own interests?

How can you possibly catch up with Dr. Toddler?

What kind of scientist will you be recorded in history?

Perhaps if Toddler remained a great scientist for humanity, he would be his comparison and will be talked about all the time.

A scientist who gave up his interests and chose the prosperity of mankind.

A scientist who abandoned humanity for profit.

Damn it.

Dr. Richard drank a bottle of whiskey.

Even though the prototype had already been released, it was not possible to conduct a proper experiment.

All I had to do was create a two-way portal that could only travel 50 kilometers.

I'll have to experiment quickly to see if this can be used as a means of intercontinental transport.

Bump, buzz.

A sense of impatience and inferiority .

And in the face of the oppression and stress around him, he drank constantly.

Icheon, Korea.

Designated as a large-scale agricultural district, it is protected by the Ministry of National Defense.

It is an important place that accounts for 40% of the grain consumption of Seoul citizens, which does not allow any field monsters or wild animals to enter.

If this place suffers damage, the entire amount must be imported from the planet Aruka.

Since it is an area that must be defended for food self-sufficiency in the worst case, the size of the military bases stationed there was also considerable.

However .

Damn it, burn it!

Yep!

gurgling gurgling.

The soldiers were each holding flamethrowers and scattering them in the air.

Wee eh eh.

The swarms of locusts burned and fell, but to no avail.

Wee eh eh.

Hundreds are dying, but swarms of tens of thousands of locusts still fill the sky.

crispy, crispy.

They started eating all the crops in the agricultural district.

No!

The farmers and the soldiers protecting them screamed.

A disaster like never before.

Wii ing.

Amidst the flapping of the wings of the cursed grasshopper that filled the sky, a slightly different sound of a propeller could be heard.

Wii ing.

Twenty drones flying from the north are approaching.

What else is that?

Report it now!

Lieutenant General Kang Seok-ho, the commander of the agricultural district, was hurriedly visited by the deputies, but he greeted the deputy with a calm face in the office.

Twenty unidentified vehicles are approaching.

Uh, I know.

Yes?

"Leave it alone. I came from Suho City."

Lieutenant General Kang Seok-ho had already been contacted.

Ah.

How far did you approach it?

It's about five kilometers. It will arrive soon.

Get all the kids out.

Yes?

I'm going to spray insecticide. If you don't want to get hit, where are you all in?

Yep.

Spread it quickly. If you get hit, you'll be bald.

Huh, yep!

The lieutenant had hurried out, and Lieutenant General Kang Seok-ho was looking at the breadbasket beyond the window of the commander's office.

The soldiers hurried away from the granary, and the arriving drones started spraying pesticides.

Just how effective are pesticides?

Huh?

As soon as the pesticide was sprayed, Lieutenant General Kang Suk-ho rubbed his eyes as he saw the swarm of locusts dripping in rainwater.

Yeah?

How toxic the pesticide was, and even without a lot of spraying, the locust swarm was dying.

Well, it's a pesticide that almost kills you just by smelling it.

Heh heh, you're so chubby.

What kind of poison is that? I am worried about whether it will have any effect on the crops.

Also, even if the pesticide only kills insects and does not damage crops, the damage it has already done is serious.

Twok, I started farming this year.

How do you restore crops eaten by insects? This is impossible with human labor.

Only after there is no god of agriculture... .

in any warehouse.

Wow, this is so delicious.

Iknow, right.

Suho bit the peach and shed admiration over and over again.

I was amazed at the taste that was superior to any peach on earth.

Can I plant some of this when I get home?

Good.

Dang Jin-cheol quarreled, and Suho pondered whether to plant peach seeds or find a tree and pluck it out.

In the meantime, Jung Eung-gee, who opened the warehouse door and entered, reported.

Dude, I've finished cleaning up.

okay?

Suho came out of the warehouse.

squeaky.

The warehouse is none other than a food warehouse for the Mamon people.

It was also attached to the Warchief's house.

When you come out, the wind that blows fills you with the scent of blood.

Dead mammon corpses line the floor, and the head of the mamon warchief, which the guardian had cut off by the guardian, hangs on a high pole.

Let's go to the next town.

Yes, man.

He served the guardian as if he was a faithful subordinate.

Now there are 14 supply and demand left.
