Episode 343 – No Paying, Right? (2)
After the bombardment tutorial ended, the cutscene started again.
“The graduation ceremony, which was so well-deserved, has been a complete mess.”
The principal shook his head with a bitter expression. But soon he smiled and lightly patted the protagonist on the arm.
"Still, thanks to the Purple Cadet's quick response, we were able to respond quickly. I sincerely thank you."
“I just did what I had to do as a naval officer.”
The principal's smile deepened at the protagonist's calm response. But that smile didn't last long.
“I wish everyone felt that way, but… that’s not the reality.”
The principal sighed briefly and turned his head. His gaze turned back to the other cadets, who were terrified.
“Are there more monsters like that in the sea…?”
"It's completely different from what I saw in the book! What the heck, how am I supposed to deal with something like that?"
“I, I don’t know. I couldn’t even fire a cannon properly!”
The excitement and anticipation of the previous day had vanished. The cadets were gripped by fear at the appearance of the Sea Serpent.
-Look at those cowards lol
-But if I see it in person, I think I would be like that too lol
-Really lol PTSD happens right away
-I have acrophobia even in a world without monsters, but what about here? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Information) Humans are originally terrestrial creatures.
Some viewers criticized the scene, but most seemed to sympathize.
Meanwhile, the principal turned his gaze back to the protagonist.
“What would you like to do? You can stay longer if you want.”
“No. I will depart as scheduled.”
The principal nodded as if he had expected the protagonist's answer.
"Okay. Go to the shipyard. Order the ship you want there, and they'll give it to you. The school has agreed to cover the cost."
“Are you just giving me a boat?”
The principal took a deep breath as the protagonist was surprised.
"As you can see, many cadets have postponed their departure. Wouldn't it be better to invest in a courageous Navy rather than let our prepared funds rot?"
“…I will gratefully accept it.”
The protagonist hesitated for a moment, then saluted with gratitude. As the principal accepted the salute, the screen slowly faded to black.
– Are military-related funds being used properly?
-There is no corruption in the military?
-Do you take the students into consideration when they are having a hard time?
-Are you sure it wasn't developed in Korea?
-omg
-Oh, that's it!
-Looking at this, it really is a fantasy setting lol
-Oh my gosh, this is a homework broadcast!
Fortunately(?), the screen quickly changed. On one side was a pile of lumber, a keel under construction, and workers moving busily.
“Oh, I see you came straight to the shipyard.”
It was as Lee Gyeong-bok expected.
As the protagonist entered, an old man who appeared to be the owner of the shipyard greeted him.
"Oh, that's the guy the principal was talking about. Pick any ship you like."
"thank you."
After a brief conversation, a list appeared before my eyes.
[Sailboat Class – ★ ~ ★★★]
[Sharktail]
Turtle Rock
[Dolphin Wave]
There were three types to choose from.
Among them, it seemed that only 1 star was activated, and items with 2 stars or higher were colored gray.
Lee Kyung-bok quickly skimmed through the explanation and summarized it.
"The Sharktail series boasts fast sailing speeds, making it ideal for close combat. The Turtle Rock's quick turnaround makes it ideal for cannon battles, and the Dolphin Wave's extensive cargo hold suggests it's a merchant ship."
-Dolphin is out for now!
-The original sword was used by pirates, but I think the Godple sword would be okay?
-Right, lol. If you're a god player, you can be unrivaled in close combat!
-But if it's a naval battle, it's a cannon battle!
-Really lol let's go to Turtle Rock!
-Huh! It's only 1 star anyway, so there's not much difference! You can choose either one!
Viewers immediately poured their opinions into the chat window. Lee Kyung-bok rolled his eyes as he observed the reactions.
I wasn't thinking about one of the three.
'It's strange. Why do I feel this way when I'm at 2 stars?'
The only option was the lowest-rated one-star sailing ship. Yet, strangely enough, I felt a surge of energy from the unavailable two-star sailing ship.
It couldn't hurt to check. He chose a two-star sailing ship.
“Oh, I can’t give up that boat.”
The shipyard owner immediately responded by waving his hand.
"Do you know how much time and money it takes to build a ship? You can't sell a ship to just any captain. You have to become a worthy captain first. Come back after you've built up a bit more reputation."

Lee Kyung-bok nodded at that explanation.
“Oh, that’s right. I heard that in other games, there’s a concept called reputation, something like a level cap.”
-ㅇㅇ Real newbies can only use 1 star
-If you bother me more here, you can hear the series' traditional famous lines!
-???: You don't even know the topic, get out!
-Oh lol is that meme from this game?
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the chat that was coming up.
“If there’s a famous line, I can’t help but hear it again.”
Could this be the reason for the energy I felt? Thinking so, I chose the 2-star 'Turtle Rock' again.
“Hmm! That’s good. Someone like you deserves this ship.”
Contrary to expectations, when the shipyard owner readily accepted, a question mark appeared over the heads of not only Lee Kyung-bok but also the viewers.
-????????
-What? Is it a bug?
-Oh my gosh, it's really unlocked?
-How did it happen, how did it happen!
-Does the God Game Certificate come out right away?
-Oh lol It's homework but there's a bug lol
While most people thought it was a problem, Lee Kyung-bok deduced the reason.
“Oh, does this defensive battle content reward also include fame?”
The direction of the chat changed in response to that question.
-Oh? Is that it?
-Kingly godlike heartㅋㅋㅋ
– Since the item compensation was paid, I think your reputation also went up, right?
-???: Most bugs are godple
-It was a perfect bug that happened because it was Godple, right?
-What is it? Why is this really a god game!?
While regular viewers were relieved that it wasn't a broadcasting accident, players who had played the game expressed envy.
-Following the Shisobi Scale, you can even eat a 2-star Turtle Rock for free!?
-Hey lol isn't this too much?
-Wow lol It usually takes about 3 hours to save up money to get to level 2 lol
-The snowball rolled all the way here lol
-Perfect no-paying game lol
Regardless of unlocking, the tutorial was still in progress. Ship purchases were still free.
It was the same even as the rank went up.
"Wow, this is a great game that gives you a two-star sailing ship right from the start. If you're new to the game, I recommend watching my video and following along."
When Lee Kyung-bok made a comment with a smile, the viewers also laughed along.
-Oh, yeah, that's true lol
-I didn't lie…!
-???: What if I succeed in a solo raid in the tutorial?
-Huh? Aren't the payment conditions too strict?!
-Ah haha I didn't know about Gogul so I started with 1 star!
-Guys! It's better to pay without having a cup of coffee than to be a slob!
-Peritswww It's a free-to-play game, but it encourages you to spend moneywww
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the viewers' answers and pressed the purchase confirmation button.
“Since they say that cannon battles are the best, I’ll start with a 2-star Turtle Rock.”
After completing the purchase, the shipyard owner clapped his hands with a satisfied expression.
"You have a keen eye. Now, as long as you prepare the crew and supplies, you can set sail at any time. I wish you good luck."
As the shipyard owner finished speaking, control returned. Lee Gyeong-bok confirmed that he was able to move directly.
"Ah, it looks like this concludes the basic tutorial. I heard there will be separate guides for other content."
As he explained, Lee Kyung-bok turned his gaze. He touched the minimap on the edge of his field of vision to zoom in, revealing a port map.
“First, let’s join our manager and continue the process.”
It was time to find a friend who would be waiting for him.
