< Chapter 7 >
The cola purchasable for 100 points disappeared in an instant. Despite a limit of one per person, the number quickly decreased.
Initially, there were 600. Next, the quantity was increased to 6,000 for sale. Spending points was not a big deal.
‘After all, living doesn’t require that many points.’
Daily necessities can be resolved within 10 points. To purchase a weapon of legend, 5 million points are needed… But would there really be a need for me to buy such a thing? At least for me, cola for satisfying cravings is more important than legendary weapons.
To check if everyone liked the cola, I accessed the gallery.

ㄴLMAO
ㄴIsn’t it Cola who’s the actual god ?
ㄴWhat nonsense, Moderator who brought this is the god LOL
ㄴFrom which world did Moderator bring such an item?
ㄴJust brought it with his power, didn’t he?
ㄴDon’t know LOL
ㄴIs this a common food in other worlds?
ㄴLOL Seems common the way he brings it?
ㄴA place where everyone commonly uses drugs LOL Is this real?
ㄴThe gallery vibe changing so drastically is hilarious LOL
ㄴCola changes your thoughts for real LOL
ㄴThis is hypnosis LOL for real
ㄴWhat’s cola? (Really don’t know)
ㄴYou’re really missing out on life
ㄴLOL Really feel sorry for this guy LOL
ㄴThat serious?
ㄴYes, the most thrilling drink of my 280-year life
ㄴLMAO
ㄴIf you’ve lived 280 years, wouldn’t anything be thrilling?
ㄴGet out LOL
Title : The bullshit about Moderator selling cola
Why would Moderator sell such an item?
ㄴThen who else would post it
ㄴDon’t know, maybe some mountain valley lord makes it
ㄴSuch a precisely made product from a mountain valley? Even our dwarves are admiring it.
ㄴAmazed by the aluminum craftsmanship LOL
ㄴWith such craftsmanship, a mountain valley? Was it sealed away? LOL
ㄴLooks hard to bring such a thing unless it’s Moderator LOL
Title : Moderator ; seriously, what kind of guy is he?
Can even make villains into fans
Just quietly enjoys his hobby
Whatever he does becomes content LOL

ㄴModerator is a god LOL
ㄴFrom auction to now cola LOL
ㄴNext, he’ll bring another unbelievable thing, won’t he?
ㄴNah, surely not LOL
‘Unbelievable items.’
Looking at the weapon list, there are guns.
Even the most famous AK series in the Middle East costs only 15 points. Bullets are 1 point for 30 rounds. Is this correct? Are guns this cheap?
Let’s never sell guns to others. There are nuclear bombs as well, but I had no intention of buying them. Where would I shoot them anyway ? It’s my world too now.
‘I’d rather sell other kinds of foods.’
There are still many items left. If there’s something I’d like to sell next, it might be chicken. There are no fried chicken types of food here. Going further, if I sold seasoned chicken, I think everyone would like it. Moderator wrote the post while having another cola.

Title : Can’t sell cola anymore, yeah
It’s bought with gallery management points, so it’s a bit tricky, yeah;;
ㄴKyah LOL Moderator got it right LOL
ㄴWhen’s the next cola?
ㄴModerator : Don’t know
ㄴDamn LOL Give me cola!!!!!!
ㄴHow do you collect management points?
ㄴModerator : You collect them by managing
ㄴAha
ㄴLOL Since they are management points, you collect them by managing
ㄴYou collect management points by managing… noted…
ㄴHow much do you collect in a day?
ㄴModerator : On average, about 3000 to 4000? Haven’t counted properly so I don’t know
ㄴJust supply me with 1000 worth a day. Please.
ㄴHurry up and distribute!!!!!!
ㄴIf you don’t distribute, I’m launching a tactical nuke!!!!!!!!!
ㄴDamn why are you running LOL
ㄴI’m also running
ㄴDamn I’m running too LOL
ㄴLet us see the end of the gallery together, my fellow brothers !!!! kekekeke~~
“These are freaking crazy people.”
When running a gallery, the saying goes, “Do not negotiate with terrorists.” But I can’t ban them all. So to appease the gallery’s wrath, more sacrificial cola was purchased.
―Moderator
Title : Bought 18,000 colas, yeah
Posting in 10 minutes
ㄴKyah LOL
ㄴModerator! Moderator! Moderator! Moderator! Moderator!
ㄴ18,000 colas LOL
ㄴI should be able to have one
ㄴDon’t you know the population of the continent is in the hundreds of millions LOL
After 10 minutes, 18,000 colas were posted at once. Twenty silver each. If converted to Korean Won, it’s a huge amount of 200,000 won per can of cola, but it’s not a difficult amount for everyone to afford for one purchase. If a means to steadily earn points is found later, it might be okay to sell cola cheaper. A total of 4200 gold came in in an instant.
“In Korean Won…”
42 billion. 42 billion won was made in a flash. It doesn’t quite feel real. Even with more money, it’s just like, so what. I don’t even go outside anyway. I haven’t gone outside for a week. Thanks to the trash disappearing automatically when thrown in the bin, there’s even less reason to go out. If all of my living needs can be met at home, there’s really no reason to go out.
But I should go out sometime. Not sure when that sometime will be, but I should check out what’s around me at some point.
One day. Surely.
As soon as the cola sale ended, the gallery started burning up again.
Title : No more cola?
Damn
ㄴYeah, said there’s none
ㄴModerator can’t sell anymore
ㄴIs he not selling on purpose?
ㄴLooking at what this guy’s doing, he’s made a lot of money. Seems full of it
ㄴFull of it my ass LOL The cola price skyrocketed to 50 silver at first, but Moderator just sold it for 20 silver.
ㄴDoesn’t he have greed for money?
ㄴHonestly, he can make as much money as he want with such product. He’s just pursuing pure fun.
ㄴImagine sitting and making 10,000 gold. Wouldn’t it be fun?
ㄴSeems like it would be?
ㄴPlease, just give me 1 gold.
ㄴI’d be happy with just 10 silver LOL
ㄴThe gallery of domestic beggars LOL
Just give us more money. Sell us cola.
This was the main talk of the gallery.
But… money isn’t the issue, it’s that the points are spent too quickly.
“I too would like to keep selling if I could.”
Selling rolls the bait, and I like to sell since it’s fun. But what to do about the lack of points. At this rate, I might blow through all the points in less than a day.
The answer? Cola ‘control’
Decided to sell only this much for today. Casually ignored the burning gallery and deleted the crap posts. Opened 8 windows at once and filmed a gallery management mad movie.

ㄴI also crave a tactical nuke LOL
ㄴI’m as angry as a cola LOL

Title : Brother, please sell cola…
(Photo of an elf sister showing off her milky breasts.jpg)
Is it not possible?
ㄴKyah LOL
ㄴCan you endure this? Moderator? Can you endure this? Moderator? Can you endure this? Moderator? Can you endure this? Moderator?
ㄴBut isn’t Moderator a woman?
ㄴShe must be a woman LOL
ㄴSeeing this and not selling cola?
ㄴNah, surely not LOL
“Oh.”
They say assumptions can be dangerous.
Chuckling, I saved the meme.
At the same time, I bought cola and prepared to list it on the auction site.
With skin white as jade and pink… so cute… oh my.
A body so beautiful it makes one drool.
Having received such a meme, controlling cola was crossing the line.
I couldn’t help myself and shamefully wrote a post.

Announcing the dispersal of 60,000 colas, the gallery is ablaze again.
Everyone loves this vibe. Can’t quit the gallery after experiencing this.
When the time came, the promise was fulfilled.
60,000 colas ‘dropped’
Listed at a generous price of 1 silver each.
No need to ask for more money. What’s the point of money?
I want to give everyone a chance to enjoy it. I hope everyone had fun.
Let everyone get addicted to modern dopamine.
The 60,000 colas were selling out fast.
50,000.
40,000.
30,000…
All the colas sold out in less than 3 minutes.

(Cola meme.jpg)
ㄴThis guy deserves divine punishment lol
ㄴThis guy’s crazy lol
ㄴReally?
ㄴWould it be real lol
“Wow, it’s been burning all day.
Never thought a single cola could cause such a snowball effect.
And I’m starting to run out of hands to manage all the posts.
But, who am I?
I am the (former) moderator of 17 minor galleries.
Nothing scares me.
After this crazy auction I managed the gallery ‘seriously’, deleting posts and banning.
“Phew…”
After tidying up, I noticed the gallery manager’s chat pings in the top right corner.
【Manager Chat】
―Demon King-chan : Are you alive, Moderator???
―Moderator : Yes?
―Demon King-chan : Cola tastes good~~~ Give me more! > <☆
―Plant Druid : I… found the cola tasty too.
―Hero : Is it really the Holy Water of Dark God Karinael?
―Moderator : Would it be lol
―Hero : I was fooled again…
“What an idiot.”
Looking at the hero reminded me of a meerkat, making me laugh.
It seems everyone wants cola. Wonder if I could send it to each of them.
Clicking on their ID activated a function to send items.
A special perk for mods?
Well, considering the hardships of their task, mods deserved such benefits.
―Moderator : How many colas does everyone need?
―Demon King-chan : The more, the better~~
―Moderator : Be specific in your request. Vague numbers won’t do.
―Demon King-chan : Then… I want 2000~~ > <☆
―Plant Druid : Just 500 for me…
―Hero : I want 500 too…!
“What’s with the 2000.”
He idly wondered what they would do with all of it, but didn’t pry. They must have their reasons for asking.
Demon King-chan is actively participating in the gallery, and so are Plant Druid and Hero.
It’s only right to take care of them with some colas.
After sending the requested amounts, rapid responses came in the chat.
―Demon King-chan : Thank you~!!! If you want, I can give you a kiss > <☆
―Moderator : Just a kiss?
―Demon King-chan : Ehh~~ Moderator, you’re a pervert~!!!! > <★
―Plant Druid : Thank you. I hope to repay this kindness someday.
―Hero : Thank you! I will repay you someday too!
―Moderator : Just keep managing the gallery well. I’ll give you more.
Since they’re managing points for me, it’s okay to give a bit more.
It’s fair to receive according to one’s work.
Then more messages came in.
―Demon King-chan : Then I want Moderator♡
―Moderator : Are you a girl?
―Demon King-chan : Who knows
“Should I really give anything to this person?”
A serious matter to deeply consider.

The Tesseur Empire is the owner of the largest auction house on the continent.
Located in the center, it was easily accessible to all races.
They leveraged this advantage to sell all sorts of rare items.
The Tesseur Empire didn’t become an empire for nothing.
It quickly grew and demonstrated great political savvy.
The emperor who runs the empire is Chris Karl Tesseur.
He frowned and tapped the armrest of his throne with irritation.
“Sigh…”
He looked at the hologram floating in front of him.
The gallery. A place of communication accessed by those across the continent.
He often used it himself, but now.
The gallery auction house.
This alone was shaking the foundation of Tesseur.
Why on earth did they open an auction house? Why an auction house of all things?
If it were a gambling house, the neighboring country, the Osen Kingdom, would have been impacted.
Chris tried to suppress his rising anger.
“No… No.”
After taking a short breath, he changed his thoughts.
The auction house was established, but there was still a chance.
Handling more premium products and even appraising them. If they offered a discount on fees, they could somehow compete.
However, he couldn’t forgive the manager of the gallery, known as “Moderator” for this affront.
“…I will find you someday.”
He gritted his teeth.
