Chapter 345 – Earth (1)

“It’s serious.”

“What?”

The deficit.

I am not doing business by digging myself into a hole.

In order to receive faith from the believers, I had to bear a similar expenditure.

But in the current situation, my expenditures were far exceeding my income.

But it was necessary.

In Korea, it’s a bit better.

Foreign believers rarely produce faith.

They don’t even know much about the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

However, in the face of a meteorite collision, Lee Ho-jae Faith was able to help.

Anytime, anywhere, you can get fresh food with only a score.

And it helps even when you are seriously injured or in danger.

Before the end, the Lee Ho-jae Faith became a very valuable commodity.

Of course, as soon as people encountered the Lee Ho-jae Faith, they tried to collect points.

They didn’t ignore system messages while worrying about fraud.

Now, whether it was a sturdy string or a rotten string, they had to grab it.

It was good to increase the number of believers and to spread the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

It was also okay to show the rewards to the congregation as an event.

The problem was that my strength and supplies were leaking out.

Another problem was that the supply and demand of faith could not keep up with the expenditure now that most of the believers are earning points based on public value rather than faith.

“In the future, it will all come back as faith. I think it’s an investment.”

Kim Min-hyuk said.

I thought so too.

In fact, the deficit was not enough to have a big impact on my strength.

But…It is a little dangerous.

Basically, I wouldn’t like any more disadvantages that come from others.

Of course, I am confident that it will be profitable in the future, but if things go wrong, it will be quite annoying.

“Turn it off……”

I checked the phone.

From riots to light crimes such as theft and assault.

The Internet news section, which was reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic worldview, was filled with stories about the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

People who had been turning away from the Lee Ho-jae Faith in the meantime, were urgently looking for relevant information.

My believers did not miss the opportunity to earn merit and spread information widely.

The same was true of foreign internet forums.

So, starting with what the hell is the Lee Ho-jae Faith?

Information on how to get the most important points and how to earn rewards.

At first, the translations of Korean believers passed, and at some point, foreigners who became new believers began to produce their own promotional materials.

All those who have confirmed the Lee Ho-jae Faith will see the Lee Ho-jae Faith system window.

If you accidentally turn it off and have not been able to check it, you can check it again from the link below.

The Lee Ho-jae Faith supplies a variety of things through ‘faith’.

The main ones are food and survival capsules.

If you collect achievements and purchase survival capsules, you can be guaranteed survival even in meteorites.

Food can be obtained in capsules with a constant gathering of faith every month.

And…

-[Subtitle] How to gain faith in the Lee Ho-jae Faith

└Thank you for the kind video. No matter how much I searched, I could only find explanations in Korean, but thanks to that, I understood.

└So, you have to join as a believer to gain faith, right? Should I find a flight ticket to Korea even now?

└Because there are Lee Ho-jae Faith branches all over the world right now, there’s no need to do that. Of course it depends a little on where you live now.

-[Subtitle] How to obtain the Lee Ho-jae Faith official value

-The most effective ways to earn public value

-[Q&A] I am teaching English in Korea, and I became a member of the Lee Ho-jae Faith last week. If you have any questions, I’ll explain.

There was a news article about the Lee Ho-jae Faith on the main portal site.

Related content was also spread to the webpages of game enthusiasts and small communities.

Videos explaining how to use the Lee Ho-jae Faith’s system were also uploaded on video sites such as Youtube.

The speed of the spread was a bit weird.

It was almost like some kind of virus.

Evangelism was conducted at a rapid pace in Korea, but not this much.

There were so many desperate people.

Before the meteorite hits Earth, people who were eager to get as many points as possible used various methods that I never thought of to promote the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

And I earned points as well.

“You, can you read English? Isn’t it only possible to speak with your skill?”

Asked Kim Min-hyuk.

Of course I can read it.

As I am a god, how could I not read foreign languages?

And even before I went into the Tutorial, I spoke English.

Kim Min-hyuk asked as I nodded my head.

“By the way…These people are going to buy those capsules for survival now.”

Kim Min-hyuk said, pointing to the numerous promotional posts that appeared on his cell phone.

It was.

It was to get points, and to get food and survival capsules with those points.

Survival capsules preceded food.

Food could be obtained somehow, but a survival capsule that was safe even if a meteorite fell could not be obtained without the reward of the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

“But aren’t you going to stop the meteorite?”

“Mhm.”

“Then this… Isn’t that a real scam? It’s a survival capsule you don’t need.”

“Well… yes.”

That doesn’t mean you can’t sell the capsules.

That capsule and food are the biggest factors that are now attracting people to the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

At first, after urgently changing the points to food, they confirmed that they can really get rewards through the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

After finding out it was true, they became more involved in the religion for the capsule.

Well… If I had to explain it, it was like a scam to trick people by showing samples and examples of multi-level scammers first, and then showing multi-level vision and future income.

Well, I couldn’t even say no.

Anyway, it was true that this method was effective.

You should paddle when the water comes in.

The believers who bought the survival capsule might be a little dissatisfied.

We can do a refund event later.

And those who buy survival capsules can earn significant public value just by showing or notifying others.

There will be no damage.

I left my phone for a while and looked around the globe.

It was still in an uproar.

There were people running sweatily on the soles of their feet to get the Lee Ho-jae Faith’s score, but there were too many people in an urgent situation that couldn’t even care about it.

There are two reasons for most of the unrest in the news of a meteorite impact.

To ensure survival.

Or because they can’t guarantee survival.

In order to somehow survive the meteorite collision, people stole by breaking the windows of supermarkets to secure even a little bit of food.

They went to safe houses of people they didn’t know, tried to get inside.

While protesting the government to make a way to survive, they couldn’t stand the anxiety and fear and tried to bring down the police or the other leaders.

They attack others first, fearing that the power to protect themselves will disappear or be stolen.

Some gave up on their hope for survival and recklessly destroyed what they saw around them for a moment of liberation and self-destructive pleasure.

Attacking others, taking in the sense of superiority of that moment, degrading themselves and overcoming the fear of death.

I looked at Kim Min-hyuk.

This guy was reading the latest news without hesitation, then he put his laptop and mobile phone on the table and turned the windows off and on.

He was nervous.

His legs were trembling.

Considering that he was extremely timid.

I could see how much Kim Min-hyuk is shaking right now.

It wasn’t the fear of the meteorite colliding.

Kim Min-hyuk believed that I was going to get rid of the meteorite.

He’s a guy who doesn’t know anything about my strength.

Rather, it was the fundamental anxiety and excitement of the person watching the whole world overturned by an event.

Somehow I felt a sense of wit.

When I did something grand, these people were the ones I saw often in the Tutorial stage before.

Due to the nature of the Tutorial Hell difficulty, I have often seen the end of the world and the people living in it.

Perhaps that’s why this was nothing new or surprising.

People who usually cower behind their backs in fear usually have a similar reaction.

[Breaking News] Emergency Summit held. The venue is Korea.

Breaking news came up.

It wasn’t on the Internet, it was news that came via text message on the phone.

Similar to the event of an earthquake, the cell phone vibrated for a long time to notify the news as if it were a disaster warning.

When I turned on the news, an elderly man was making a presentation with a firm expression.

The summit was held in Korea, and he said that he will do his best to resolve this crisis as wisely and peacefully as possible.

Hochi stood behind him.

Why is he there again?

He seems to be working hard to make up for his mistakes.

“But who is that uncle?”

“… He is the President.”

Oh, I remember.

I know he’s been getting along with Hochi recently.

“Through this meeting, we will work with the leaders of each country to resolve negative perceptions of the Lee Ho-jae Faith so that more people can survive the crisis through the Lee Ho-jae Faith…….”

* * *

So a day passed.

“Brother… Should we… Really do something like this… ?”

Asked the younger brother.

The older brother, who was holding the baseball bat next to his younger brother, answered.

“… I can’t help it. The nearby supermarkets have already been robbed. I can’t go any further because the gas station is out of oil. If we’re going to live… I have to do it for our family.”

His older brother had a wife and two young daughters.

The younger brother, who lived in his older brother’s house, knew how much his brother loved his family.

So he couldn’t stop him.

“Near here… The only place where you can get more food is in other people’s homes.”

It was a very remote place.

Thanks to this, he was not caught up in the raging protesters or bikers. However, it was difficult to get food, and eventually they decided to invade others’ homes on their own.

The two held the baseball bat tight and leaned against the wall.

Just go over the fence, break the window, and break into the house like that.

The people living in this house were old couples.

They will not be able to defeat the strong brothers.

But.

“Brother…….”

The younger brother kept crying and hesitating.

Even though he knew that this was the only way he could survive, even though he knew he had to do it not only for himself, but also for his family members.

Still, he couldn’t make this tough decision.

“Brother, can we just get food with points……?”

“… You idiot. That’s not enough.”

The brothers also knew about the Lee Ho-jae Faith.

All of the family members received the Lee Ho-jae Faith’s event privileges, and they even registered as recommendations for each other to get as many points as possible.

And all those points were converted to food.

But it was still lacking.

There was a disaster shelter in the basement, but there was barely enough food to eat for a few dozens of days.

The younger brother wasn’t comfortable with this.

He had lived a life where he had never harmed anyone.

This kind of thing was neither familiar nor pleasant.

But the brothers could not back down.

“Let’s go.”

The older brother said again, and his younger brother could not refuse.

It was then when the two put their hands on the wall.

[Warning!]

[If you commit a criminal act, your official value may be deducted.]

[If your official value becomes negative, you cannot obtain new rewards until all negative points are paid.]

[If the public value falls below a certain level, you may be subject to penalties and sanctions.]

“… Brother.”

“… Uh.”

The brothers had to pause for a moment with their hands on the wall.

They were embarrassed, but they were also a little creeped out.

A message that appeared immediately after committing a crime.

Someone was watching them.

[It is recommended to purchase additional food with more public value and faith.]

[How to get public value is well explained on the needle portal site. Check it out, you punks. Don’t you know Google, Yahoo or Wiki?]

[The faith comes in steadily every month like saving money, so if you stack it once, you will be able to secure food regularly for a long time.]

“… Let’s go home first.”

The brothers hurriedly fell off the wall and started running to their homes.

And a message appeared to them again.

[You have made the right choice.]

[Acquired 20pt as a reward.]

[Don’t tell others that you got points for trying to steal.]
