My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 337: What To Do?

[The Fourth Main Scenario is about to begin!]

"We just can't catch a break, can we?" Hee-won grumbled unhappily seeing this blue screen in front of them.

"Well, I do understand your point," Haru said as he saw Hee-won's previous energy go away like it didn't exist. It was the same for their whole group.

Sang-ah and Hyun-sung also didn't look like they were looking forward to the upcoming scenario. And in all honestly, who would? All of the scenarios had been just about killing others one way or another.

This was the same for the people at the station, they were waiting to see what kind of new hell they are going to be shoved into this time.

"Master!!" Ji-hye ran to Jung-hyuk who had just walked down the stairs from the first floor.

"Step aside!!" Pil-du came as well shouting making the people step aside.

Right now, Haru's group was face to face with the Landlord coalition and Jung-hyuk who seemed to have made a full recovery from his injuries.

'Shit,' Dok-ja cursed as this didn't look good at all, This looked like a recipe for a disaster in the making.

While the tension in the air got thicker around the three groups, everyone's favorite Dokkaebi arrived.

[Hello! Looks like everyone has gathered, Have you been well?] Bi-hyung smiled as he appeared in the air above everyone making the people look at him.

"W-What is it?"

"What do you want?"

Some of the people shouted at Bi-hyung as their faces twisted with anger.

[Well, I only came by to make an Announcement,] Bi-hyung smiled like he didn't feel the anger directed at him at all.

"Then stop talking in circles and get on with it," Even Pil-du seemed unusually snappy.

[Oh My, Did you not hae enough sleep last night? You are unusually snappy, or it is just old age?] Bi-hyung laughed making veins appear on Pil-du's forehead. It was true he wasn't able to sleep last night since…

'They didn't attack in end,' Pil-du was waiting for the ambush from Haru's group but it didn't happen and in the end, he stayed up the whole night for no reason.

[Leaving that aside, let's get down to business, The Fourth Scenario is going to include other stations, this will be fairly interesting and I am sure everyone will be satisfied, So look forward to it,] Bi-hyung spoke jollily everyone on the station had varying reactions to this information.

But the most common one was fear. Who knows what type of people the other stations had and what they'll do to them. Things didn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down right now.

[I know that everyone is dying to know what is going to happen next. But, we need to do something before that, You see there is always the appetizer before the main course, right?] Bi-hyung snapped his fingers and a new blue panel appeared in front of everyone.

[The sub-scenario has arrived!]

[Sub Scenario – Elect a Representative]

Category: Sub

Difficulty: C

Clear Conditions: Take the 'white flag' installed in the center of the floor.

Time Limit: 30 minutes

Compensation: 1,000 coins, Chungmuro's representative.

Failure: ―

* The representative of the station can exercise strong control over the members.

"Get out of the way!" As soon as the window appeared Pil-du took off running towards the flag since this was what he was looking for, if he has this then there is no need to fear Haru's ability nor Jung-hyuk's strength.

'There!!' Pil-du's eyes shined as he saw the white flag in front of him, Pil-du extended his hand to grab it and…

BANG*

"Ghuk*"

"Pil-du-sii!?" The Landlord coalition's members were horrified to see Pil-du run straight into a wall head-first with a smile.

"That's gotta hurt," Hee-won covered her face instinctively while Sang-ah looked a little worried since Pil-du wasn't moving, he was just lying on the ground.

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' is cackling wildly.]

[200 coins have been sponsored.]

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is laughing hysterically; He is saying he'll definitely use this later.]

[100 coins have been sponsored.]

Well, leaving Pil-du and the constellations aside, currently Jung-hyuk was looking straight at Haru who was standing in front of him with a smile.

"You aren't going for the flag?" Haru asked Jung-hyuk as he pointed at the flag.

"No need to act," Jung-hyuk thought that this was an illusion without even a second thought and wasn't planning on falling for it.

"Well, I guess you're right," Haru shrugged as he walked towards the flag like he was taking a walk in the garden and picked it up.

"In case you were wondering, this wasn't an illusion," Haru smiled making Jung-hyuk's eyebrows twitch in annoyance.

This was the hardest part about Haru's ability, unless you had a sure-proof skill that can counter it completely there was no way of knowing what was real and what was not.

[You have pulled the white flag from the flagpole.]

[You have become the 'Representative' of Chungmuro.]

[You are qualified to walk the 'King's Road'.]

Haru looked at the notifications in front of him but he was more focused on the sudden increase in strength he felt after taking the flag.

'This is interesting,' Haru already got an idea of what the next Scenario is going to be like.

['Tsugikuni Haru' has occupied the white flag.]

[If the white flag doesn't change owners in the next five minutes, Chungmuro will be under his control.]

[If the flag is snatched in the next five minutes, the timer will reset.]

A timer appeared in the air.

[5:00]

But even after reading that nobody had moved, there was no real reason for the normal survivors to move since Haru was the best possible leader on the station right now.

And even the people who wanted to snatch the flag didn't move. It was a fool's errand, just like Jung-hyuk thought everyone understood that there was no point in doing this.

"We don't want to stay here another second!!" One of the members from the Landlord Coalition shouted and the others in that group started to agree with him.

"Yeah,"

"There is no way we are going to stay under this guy, he'll abuse us,"

"I think the same,"

This is what awakened the other people as they thought about how the flag holder would have control over them. Even though Haru was nice now, who knows what he'll do once he has full power?

"Well, I wasn't the one who was charging survival fees and rent from people here, you know?" Haru said with a shrug and the members of the Landlord coalition closed their mouths on the spot. They were pretty much the most hated group in the station because of what they've done.

"...Would you guarantee our safety?" One of the normal survivors asked, these were the majority of the people in the station and they did not belong to any major groups.

"Yes, I can guarantee your safety from both inside and outside factors, I also won't ask for survival fees or anything along the line, but I hope you would help our group moving forward as well," Haru said looking at the people.

"There …See he is already planning on exploiting everyone,"

With a sudden leading statement, the people were sent into a small frenzy.

"I don't know what do to,"

"This is really bad,"

"It is possible,"

They all whispered not knowing what was good at this point, if they choose to stay under Haru's group there was a chance they'd be exploited like what happened when they were under the landlord coalition and it might even be worse than them because of the ability of the flag.

And if they choose to leave the station, there was no telling what would happen to them since there were beasts roaming about freely outside.

"Well, I am not really forcing any of you to stay, if you want to leave the station you can, I am not really asking for much here, If you people aren't willing to work for yourselves then, why do you expect others would?" Haru's voice was heard by the people as they stopped whispering.

They could understand where Haru was coming from, if they provide no contribution to the group and then still hope to be protected by others, it won't work. This was basically living off someone else's kindness or pity.

This can work for a while but in the end, those people would also stop helping them if they see no change. And this isn't something that has come into existence only after the scenarios began.

It has been the same way even when the world was normal, and this has been the case since the time humans started to form groups. If you don't provide anything to the group you'll be cut off.

And this was an even stronger possibility given the current situation.

"I'll give you guys a minute to think about this, you can make your decision till then,"
