Minhyuk let his soldiers rest in shifts during the day.
Tonight could be a very long night.
He also let the soldiers who were repairing the fortress rest.
However, he did not stop the construction altogether.
When the first Dragon’s Heart was used to create the Sanctuary after the flooding began,
Tamrin Fortress was built on the outermost edge of the Sanctuary.
Therefore, if the Altar of Sanctuary was restored with the Heart of Teidon, which was weaker than the Dragon’s Heart, the Sanctuary would not be expanded to include Tamrin Fortress.
That was why the construction of the fortress walls had to be completed.
Tamrin Fortress would continue to be used as a forward operating base in the future.
Creak-
Elves were working on the fortress walls instead of the soldiers.
Their labor to repay their debt had begun.
The amount they owed Minhyuk was 10 billion Krones.
When comparing the cost of living in Asdel and Korea, 10 billion Krones was roughly equivalent to 5 trillion Korean Won.
So, each elf was burdened with a debt of 160 million won.
If there was a single father elf who was supporting two young children and an elderly mother, he would have to bear a debt of over 600 million won by himself.
Moreover, the labor costs in this world were incredibly low.
They would have to live for a very long time to repay their debt to Min-hyuk.
“Move it! Why are you all so slow? How long will it take you to pay off your debts like this? Elves, anyway!”
Most of the engineers in Asdel’s expeditionary force were dwarves.
They grabbed the elves like mice and forced them to increase their construction speed.
‘They’re doing a good job.’
Min-hyuk returned to his commander’s quarters after inspecting the fortress.
And he checked the inventory of military supplies.
‘I need to buy more eggs.’
He had a lot of military supplies missing due to the surprise battle with Taydon.
He would replenish them all before the battle with Melbeck.
Before that, he would first check the items he hadn’t put in the refrigerator yet.
“Inventory.”
Pop-
Min-hyuk placed the magic storage disk he had borrowed from Balin into the refrigerator.
“Return.”
Pop-
He moved to the back of the truck with a flash of light.
He opened the refrigerator door and checked inside.
‘What is this?’
There was something like a vacuum cleaner inside.
It was the first time Min-hyuk had seen it.
He searched for it on the internet and found out that it was a robot vacuum cleaner for cleaning windows.
It was said that it could stick to windows with vacuum suction and move by itself to clean them.
There was no need to purchase the magic storage disks in bulk.
So, he only needed to buy one window-cleaning robot.
Also, it wasn’t something he needed urgently.
‘I’ll buy it online.’
Min-hyuk purchased the same model of window-cleaning robot online.
The delivery would arrive tomorrow or the day after.
By the way, he couldn’t use cash for online purchases.
There would be no problem if he paid with his card or made a bank transfer for just a few hundred thousand won.
However, he should start thinking seriously about his financial situation.
It was fun to hide cash at home and spend it secretly, but he should also experience the thrill of spending it freely.
When he became the emperor of Asdel, he would be swimming in gold coins.
In order to buy a penthouse, a luxury foreign car, a yacht, and a jet with that money, he needed to create a reliable source of funds.
In common parlance, he needed to ‘launder money.’
‘But how would I know how to do something like that?’
For some, it might be the easiest thing in the world to launder money.
However, for Minhyeok, who was a factory worker up until recently, doing laundry meant washing clothes and sneakers.
[Money Laundering Methods]
Minhyeok searched the internet about money laundering.
There were various money laundering methods using cryptocurrencies, bearer shares, casinos, and tax havens.
However, it was highly likely that one would end up in jail if they tried to imitate these methods.
The fact that they were posted on the internet meant that they were already outdated methods.
The latest voice phishing methods also don’t appear on the internet.
Only the old methods that had already been cracked down by the police were posted online.
‘Should I look for an expert?’
Minhyeok shook his head right away.
It would be truly foolish for him, who had no social skills whatsoever, to entrust money laundering to an expert.
‘It’s like a mouse entrusting a fish to a cat.’
Anyway, he would think about money laundering later and focus on his current task for now.
“Return.”
BAM-
With a flash of light, Minhyeok returned to the commander’s barracks.
And he tried putting in various items that he couldn’t put in because the refrigerator was too small.
There were items that were easy to obtain in bulk, and there were items that weren’t.
‘Now there’s only one left.’
Lastly, he would try putting in the Giant Duck’s magic bead.
The soldiers’ armor could be sufficiently charged with magic power even with small beads like canned ham, so the Giant Duck’s bead wasn’t really necessary.
Still, he was curious, so he thought he would try putting it in.
However, he didn’t have the Giant Duck’s magic bead right now.
‘I can just go out and catch one.’
Minhyeok left the barracks and headed to the city gate.
General Drake happened to be there.
“I’ll be going out for a bit.”
“Yes? Alone?”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“It might be better to go with some soldiers.”
“There’s no need for that.”
He didn’t want to disturb the soldiers who were resting before the decisive battle against the Melbeck Legion.
As someone who had experienced military life, Minhyeok knew how annoying it was to be called out to work suddenly while resting in the barracks on Sunday.
“Then at least take Rebecca with you.”
At the general’s gesture, Rebecca came running.
She was the one who had lured Count Loren to his bedroom when they killed him in the past.
Rebecca was also a member of the expedition and a special forces unit.
From the moment they recaptured Fort Tamirn to the moment they killed Teidon, she had faithfully carried out her duties as a special forces unit near Minhyeok.
“There’s no need···.”
“Please take me with you.”
General Drake pleaded so earnestly that I could not refuse any longer.
Min-hyuk left the fortress with Rebecca.
She followed a few meters behind Min-hyuk.
Rustle-rustle-
Walking through the forest, stepping on the grass, Min-hyuk felt a sense of freedom that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Rebecca was following him, but it felt like he was alone compared to when he was leading 4,000 troops.
Huff-
He took a deep breath.
He could feel the fresh air filling his lungs.
‘The air is really nice.’
As his mind became clearer, various thoughts that he usually forgot came to his mind.
I wonder how many beasts there are on the Rania continent?
If I hunt them all, can I accumulate enough return time to reach 100 years?
If I can do that, I’ll be able to live my whole life comfortably.
By the way, how long is the lifespan of a body in this world?
The muscular body with red hair far surpasses the physical abilities of ordinary humans.
So, maybe their lifespan is also very long?
During the month I’ve been in this world, only a week has passed in the real world.
If the time distribution continues to be similar to what it is now, I will age 10 years as Min-hyuk, while Michael will age over 50.
What happens if the body here grows old and dies?
Will I die in the real world too?
Kweeek-
As he walked, lost in thought, he soon arrived near the giant duck habitat.
He could hear their cries.
Min-hyuk and Rebecca entered the bushes, lowered their postures, and looked around.
Hundreds of giant ducks came into their view.
“Huh?”
It was strange.
A few days ago, he had wiped out all the giant ducks in this area.
He had come here expecting to find a few remaining, but there were unexpectedly many of them.
‘What the heck? Did they respawn?’
Maybe, like in a game, the monsters respawn after a certain amount of time has passed since they were killed.
Thinking about it, their ecology was very strange.
So far, he had only seen fully grown adults. He had never seen a young one.
The beasts that lived within the Outland had their own unique ecologies.
Creatures like the Teidons and Kudalkangs had existed long before the Outland occurred, and their habits had not changed much since the Outland.
Creatures like the One-horned Direwolves and the King Cobra had become more ferocious after the Outland occurred.
And the giant ducks in front of him did not exist before the Outland.
“Oh my god…”
Rebecca gazed at the Giant Ducks with eyes of despair.
Of course, after the bloody battle to subdue the monster habitat, they had reappeared and were swaggering around.
She murmured softly.
“Is the Incursion really a divine punishment to wipe out humanity…”
Minhyuk felt completely different from Rebecca.
‘Nice!’
He had been worried about how to accumulate return time after killing all the beasts on the Rania continent.
But they were reappearing like this!
For Minhyuk, the Incursion was an inexhaustible gold mine that he could keep digging into.
Anyway, he wouldn’t be hunting Giant Ducks to accumulate return time right now.
＜Return time in possession: 10 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes, 20 seconds＞
After killing Teidon, his return time had increased to ten days.
In fact, only two days of return time had been directly accumulated from killing it.
The value of its life was 24 hours.
And another 24 hours as a reward for successfully completing the mission to extract its heart.
The rest of the return time had been accumulated from the soldiers healing their wounds with potions.
60,000 red superior potions had been used during the battle with Teidon.
10 seconds of return time was accumulated when his soldiers healed their wounds with potions.
That’s why 600,000 seconds had been accumulated.
Converted to days, it was about a week.
‘The allowance is much greater than the base pay.’
Anyway, since he had accumulated more than ten days of return time, he wasn’t in a hurry to hunt right now.
So, let’s just catch one duck and put the magic bead in the refrigerator.
When Minhyuk looked at Rebecca, she nodded.
They had already finished the strategy meeting while walking here.
Thud-
Rebecca fired a crossbow at a Giant Duck that had separated from the group and was alone.
The one that was hit by the crossbow bolt in the buttocks came running towards the thicket.
Rebecca ran towards the duck at Minhyuk’s signal and swung her longsword.
Swish-
The duck’s ankle was cut off in one blow.
The duck lost its balance and lowered its posture.
Minhyuk seized that brief moment, jumped, and cut the duck’s neck.
Clang-
Its neck was severed in one blow.
He was no longer the Minhyuk of old who could only handle a dagger.
From Noble mtl dot com
His incredible physical abilities combined with the swordsmanship he was learning from General Drake created tremendous synergy.
The hunt was over in an instant.
The other Giant Ducks didn’t even notice.
Minhyuk immediately cut open the duck’s chest and pulled out the magic bead.
And put it in the refrigerator.
“Return.”
BAM-
He was moved to the back of the truck with a blinding flash.
He opened the refrigerator door first and checked inside.
Wow!
Minhyuk was surprised and quickly closed the refrigerator door again.
And looked around.
Of course, no one was there.
But he checked again to make sure the cargo door was locked properly.
And he went back to the refrigerator and took out the rifle that was inside.
Clack-
He pulled the charging handle and it was clear.
It was a real rifle that Minhyuk used during his military service.
It was the Giant Duck’s magic bead that had turned into an automatic rifle.
He finally had a way to use 5.56mm bullets.
‘Way, my foot!’
The moment he fired a few shots to see if it worked well, police cars would rush in here within 10 minutes.
Maybe even a task force from a nearby military base could be dispatched.
Guns and live ammunition were things that really appealed to a man’s heart, but they were things that should never be used.
He mustn’t forget that this was South Korea, not America.
Hmm-
He put the gun back in the refrigerator and returned to the Giant Duck’s habitat.
“Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
Minhyuk returned to Fort Tammyrn with Rebecca.

That night,
Asdel’s elite troops moved to Gaon Gorge to surprise Melbeck’s large army.
