Episode 4

2. Too many bugs (1)

I wake up to the warm warmth that flows through the windows.

As I struggled to get up, my shoulders and back ached. I could feel my muscles screaming with every move.

Ah, this cool and heavy feeling.

It’s only been two years.

This is the floor of an army bed, isn’t it? Back then, there were blankets and poor mattresses, but now it’s just like being homeless.

The only difference is the eye level when lying down?

“Ughhh!!”

I stretched out as hard as I could, got out of bed, and did some light stretching. Little by little, the stiff body loosens.

“Status window.”

I tried to call up the window again just in case, but there is no change in the output of the broken language due to an error.

I didn’t even dream that the status window would be smashed, in case someone is not a game with lots of bugs.

I was confused at first, but after thinking about it, I think I can get a rough idea of what some of the items mean.

Looking back at the memory of the game, it was probably the name, class, status abnormality, and title from the top.

And below is the skill level. What’s written below is probably the sentence that you don’t have proficiency yet.

As the status window was immersed in and out, I was able to capture that level of detail without difficulty.

“after.”

I sighed and closed the window. I didn’t think that things would get better just by staring at the status window all day.

‘Now what?’

Being dragged into the game was being dragged, but the future policy was a problem.

The main story of Paradise Academia is the story of Aidan, a first-year freshman entering the ‘Paradise School’ that has converted the entire island into a hero academy, and the ‘Liberation Front’, a remnant of the Demon King’s army.

In other words, incidents and accidents are expected to occur all over the island in the future… … .

I mean, what the hell can I do with this body?

Baek Sanwoo of the Eastern Federation.

I couldn’t check the status, but it’s not a good feeling just looking at it.

The physical condition also had some muscles attached, but this was simply skinny muscle, not because of training.

In addition, this body had neither a modest active skill nor a passive skill. The only thing he has is the ability to be “primitive”.

In short, it was the ability to grasp the surrounding situation a little faster.

It’s good for observing something, but it’s a very vague skill to use in battle or life.

“You bastard, isn’t this a character improvised for a real bug patch?”

Even with reasonable doubt, there was no way to prove it.

At that moment, hunger began to pour in.

rumbling-

Come to think of it, have I not eaten a single meal before?

After returning to the dormitory yesterday, I immediately fell asleep from the pouring fatigue. There was no bird feeling hungry.

If you look at it, you’ve been starving for two days, but it’s strange that the omens are only now appearing.

Okay, Mt. Geumgang is also called after dinner.

Let’s eat something!

“A total of 5 Kelly. Please put the Paradise card on the magic tool installed in front of you.”

was X.

After picking up some suitable breads from the grocery store in front of my house, I only realized one thing later.

I don’t have enough money to buy bread.

No, in the first place, even the Paradise Card, which is used as an identification card and currency on this island, was not issued.

As I hesitated, unable to say anything, the woman who was looking at the calculator tilted her head.

“Sir, why are you like this?”

“Ah, that’s…”

“Have you not received your Paradise Card yet?”

I couldn’t help but drop my face at those words.

In the original Paradise Academia, if you go through a series of tutorials, you will naturally acquire Paradise cards.

However, I couldn’t proceed with the normal tutorial and woke up one day later, so I didn’t even think about getting a paradise card.

Shit.

“I’m sorry, I’ll get it issued right away!”

I put the bread down and tried to step out.

The card issuance is processed at the same time as the undergraduate application, so you can do it at the Nakwon School Business Trip Office, which is installed in each street.

“Ah!! Guest!! Wait a minute!!”

“Yes? Why?”

“You won’t be able to get the issuance now. Yesterday was the first issuance deadline, so you have to wait until the second application period.”

“I beg your pardon???”

Is this another unheard of?

“You didn’t get a separate guide…. Apparently, there are a lot of students from all over the continent, so the processing process is too difficult, so it’s originally issued in 1st and 2nd rounds.”

“I didn’t know that…”

It’s not even in the game. Because I was able to get it every time I did the tutorial. And even if it was mentioned, who would even look at such a small setting?

“Then when is the second application period?”

“Because it’s two days before the semester starts… um! The day after tomorrow.”

It was disappointing news.

So, should I starve for two more days?

Curl rumble!

Now, the stomach was more than just gurgling, and it started to churn like crazy. Wouldn’t it be better to be hungry if you’re too hungry?

“what is this sound!”

Hearing the sound of a tank passing by, a plump man inside came out and shouted. His face burned with embarrassment.

“Ah, boss. It’s because the customer hasn’t been issued a paradise card yet.”

“What was that? He, he also handles continental currencies, so give it to me. What country are you from?”

“The Eastern Federation. But I don’t have any money on hand.”

“Huh? You didn’t even bring your own currency? What were you thinking here?”

The boss shrugged, saying he would see all the crazy people.

Did I know that I would be brought here? Even if I knew it, the country called the Eastern Federation did not even exist in reality.

You can’t have that country’s currency.

“Twitch, then you’ve been starving since yesterday?”

I nodded my head without saying a word. The boss licked his tongue, as if he felt sorry for me, and spit out a single word.

“Take it. I’ll put it on the credit card price. I’ll come to pay when I get it later.”

For a moment, it seemed as if a pure white light was pouring down behind the face of the president, who had only looked unkind.

is he new? Is it an angel that came down from heaven? I had no choice but to bow my head at that mercy.

“Is that really okay?”

“What’s wrong? I’ll pay it all later anyway. People need to eat well. So will they survive in Paradise School?”

“Well, is there anything I can do to help?

However, it was also not in his temper to eat a lot of favors. It was obvious from the boss’s point of view to put it down because it was an external account.

At my answer, he folded his arms and thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers! made a sound

“Well then, I wish I could carry just one box of apples to the merchant’s union warehouse. If you help me, I can give you bread for free.”

“I will! Yes!”

I answered bravely. Even though it looks like this, it is a military pen from the Marine Corps. It’s better to use your body than to be in debt for nothing.

“Wait a minute.”

After saying that, the boss showed up with a large box. It’s bigger than I thought… … ?

“Go out the street on the right and go up a little, and you will see a large warehouse. It shouldn’t be difficult to find it because there is a big sign saying it’s a merchant’s association.”

I said it curiously, but when I received the box of apples, it was quite heavy. It felt like my hands were already shaking.

Oh, it’s just that you’ve just woken up from fainting? Why are you doing this?

“Just talk to the warehouse manager who manages the logistics there, and then get a receipt. It’s simple, isn’t it?”

“Nep! Leave it to me!”

“Ah, I’m worried that he’s already trembling.”

“it’s okay!”

I left the grocery store behind the boss’s suspicious gaze.

As the president said, not long after going out on the main road, the merchant’s union warehouse caught my eye. I was fortunate to be able to reach the distance before my hands ran out of strength.

As we approached the warehouse, a man who was sitting on a chair in the corner smoking a cigarette stood up.

He was not as good as the president, but he was a man of considerable size.

Perhaps this man is the warehouse keeper.

“Huh? Who are you? Is this your first time seeing Andy?”

“I came from the grocery store where the very muscular male boss and the yellow short-haired female part-timer work.”

There’s a sense of intimidation, and I get scared without realizing it.

“Ah, the store on the right? It’s run by Doo-seok.”

I haven’t heard of the name, but somehow it seems to be true. Dusuk, it was a name that perfectly matched that body.

“Yeah, you can put the apples in a separate fruit storage area inside the warehouse.”

“thank you.”

The warehouse keeper picked up the lock on the warehouse, and I passed him and went inside.

Is it also the warehouse of the merchant association? The inside was filled with not only fruits, but also various items.

There were a lot of weapons and clothing, not food. Among them, I was able to find some that were quite expensive.

‘Wow, if it was a game, I would have brushed it all off.’

Paradise Academia, like other open world RPGs, naturally implements pickpocketing and theft.

Using a specific method to block the NPC’s view, or to look elsewhere and steal things at the same time was not a big deal.

All else aside, it was all right if I didn’t get caught.

But it’s unclear whether that will still work.

There is no inventory to store items. To steal something, you need to have a decent bag, but you don’t even have that right now.

In the first place, the status window also worked, but there is no other option.

In addition, I thought that it would be difficult to go back to good if caught wrongly by the warehouse keeper who was guarding the entrance.

Let’s just be honest, what do we do when we’ve been in the game at best, but only get infamous?

With that in mind, I put the apple box roughly in the right place.

“what?”

But something was strange. Obviously I put the box down, but I still have the box in my hand.

Not only that. In an instant, an optical illusion appeared as if the apple boxes were overlapping. I stepped back in surprise, and in the blink of an eye, the box of apples had grown to two.

Two boxes, the one I just put on the floor and the one I have in my hand.

“mom…….”

Is this a temp copy bug?
