Chapter 22 - Otherworldly Creepy Horror Therapy (4)
ㄴ These days I can’t sleep at all.
ㄴ My head… feels dizzy.
ㄴ The mining work isn’t even hard, but I don’t know why this is happening.
ㄴ Head Moderator☆: Then take the medicine.
ㄴ Head Moderator☆: I put it up in the marketplace, why aren’t you taking it?
ㄴ …
ㄴ Ahem!
The dwarves were a race of artisans.
In all weaponry, armor, and construction, no other race could match their skills.
Was it because of this?
The dwarves were stubborn.
They had a very strong pride in themselves and never bent, making it difficult for them to mingle with other races.
– Oh wow, are dwarves still being stubborn?
– Isn’t that why they’re still the outcasts of the races?
– Haha, totally agree!
ㄴ Elves, go to sleep.
ㄴ Better than you guys.
ㄴ Ugh, the smell of old ways is strong.
Of course, not as much as the elves.
Title: Dwarves, come here
Author: Head Moderator☆
You said you have headaches.
Why aren’t you taking the medicine?
(GIF of a cat with its face up close to the screen)
Are you also like the church, calling my medicine heresy and not taking it?
Take it and get better quickly!
Get better and make the gallery more active!!
– Ahem, it’s not like that…
ㄴ We actually believe in it. You helped a lot in the recovery operation, why would we doubt you?
ㄴ Right. It must be effective.
ㄴ Head Moderator☆: Then why aren’t you taking it?
ㄴ Well…

Taldru: Because of the macho culture
The dwarves in the gallery hesitated to answer, but Taldru spoke up frankly.
Taldru was a gallery member with a familiar face among the dwarves and spoke openly about their inner workings.
Taldru: It’s mainly about pride.
Head Moderator☆: What?
Taldru: Our race has lived without taking medicine for a long time.
Taldru: There is a deeply rooted belief that taking medicine makes you weak.
So, the dwarves were enduring without taking the medicine.
Moreover, the effect appeared elsewhere.

Other gallery members were using it more.
But I wasn’t too surprised.
There was a method for times like this.
“Hmm, I didn’t want to use this method.”
A public opinion formation method used since the founding of galleries.
– Why Tylenol is amazing…
– How to solve headaches instantly…
A traditional promotional method (viral marketing).

Title: Wow, what is this, really?
(GIF of holding Tylenol in one hand)
The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.
I didn’t take medicine because it felt unmanly, but after taking it, my work efficiency doubled.
Even my acquaintances say I’m amazing and ask what I took.

– What’s with the recommendation ratio?
– Hmm, is this really worth this many recommendations?
– But this is true, it really changes your energy when you take it.
ㄴ Hmm…
ㄴ But taking medicine is a bit…
ㄴ Only weak humans take medicine.
ㄴ Right. It feels unmanly.
“The reactions are still lukewarm.”
There’s always a lot of skepticism on the first try.
But what is traditional viral marketing?
It’s about repeated promotion.

This is Tylenol.
I had been troubled by frequent headaches recently, but this is amazing.
Taking it when I have a headache solves everything.
Even my training time has doubled, no, tripled.

Haha, thanks to it, I even got a beautiful muscular girlfriend.
You guys should take one too.

– Damn, eye bleach, you bastard!!!
– The Dwarf King really makes me want to punch him.
– The Dwarf King is such a bastard.
– Is this true?
– Did he really get such a beautiful girlfriend?
– Even if that’s true, medicine is…
ㄴ Author) It’s wise. Efficiency increases.
ㄴ That’s right. I took Tylenol and my efficiency increased, so I got a girlfriend too.
ㄴ Ahem… then me too…?
“Got it.”
In the dark storage, I displayed the gallery screen and laughed sinisterly.
If it was my past life, these would have been ignored as viral marketing posts, but they were effective on the innocent residents of this other world.
No one had tried it before.
With many recommendations, and leaving reviews, public opinion was easily swayed.
If stubbornness is strong, rather than breaking it, you gently change it.
“Now, only the last part remains.”
But viral marketing doesn’t end here.
Taldain: Is it okay to post now?
Head Moderator☆: Go ahead.
Taldain: Got it, brother. Keep your promise.
Through Taldru, I had formed a new connection.
And this dwarf, Taldain, was definitely the final key to successfully carrying out this traditional gallery marketing (viral, recommendation manipulation).
Head Moderator☆: Of course, I remember.
[Head Moderator☆ proposes 3 bottles each of White Rum, Gold Rum, and Dark Rum.]
Taldain: This is the Head Moderator’s rum…!
Taldain: Thank you! Love you, brother!!!
Head Moderator☆: Haha, mix them and drink.
Taldain: .
Head Moderator☆: Hey
With the final approval from the Dwarf King, Taldain, it would be complete.
Dwarves valued manliness and strength over bloodline, so the influence of Taldain, who became king, was immense.
Title: Let’s see how many likes Tylenol gets if you like it.

Starting with the basics, haha.
Tylenol, approved by the Dwarf King, isn’t it a must-take?

– You!!! How dare you impersonate His Majesty here!!!
– Aren’t you afraid of Kilgrot’s wrath!!!
ㄴ Taldru) It’s me.
ㄴ Your Majesty!!!!!
ㄴ Please forgive us!!!!!
– His Majesty Taldain approved…?
ㄴ Then that changes everything.
ㄴ Ahem, I actually wanted to try it at least once.
ㄴ Suddenly, Tylenol seems amazing.
[Head Moderator’s marketplace ‘Tylenol’ is sold out.]
And the impact was beyond imagination.
Even though I reserved a generous quantity, everything sold out within minutes.
The effect of viral (traditional) marketing was tremendous.
“This should put an end to the headaches, right?”
I felt I had repaid the value of the master sword and the sleep light the dwarves gave me.
Just as I was about to turn off the holy sword’s light and go to sleep, a question post appeared.
Question post) Head Moderator, brother, I have a question.
(GIF of Tylenol ingredients)
There’s something called acetaminophen.
I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life. What is it?
– Right, I’m curious about that too.
– Doesn’t it sound like a skill name?
– It would make a perfect weapon name.
More dwarves than I expected seemed curious about the ingredient.
I paused my sleep and answered simply.
– Head Moderator☆: Oh, that’s the ingredient in Tylenol.
ㄴ What an interesting name.
ㄴ Is there anything to be cautious about?
“Oh right. I didn’t mention the caution.”
Just giving the medicine wasn’t enough.
Taking it all at once wouldn’t increase the effect, and especially with Tylenol, there was one thing to be cautious about.
– Head Moderator☆: Don’t take it with alcohol.
ㄴ .
ㄴ ?
ㄴ What?
ㄴ Ah! You mean don’t take it after drinking?
ㄴ So, take it before drinking?
ㄴ So, just be a little careful! Doesn’t it mean there’s no problem with the body?
– Head Moderator☆: No, just don’t take it on days you drink.
I wrote it casually.
After all, people don’t drink every day.
But I had overlooked something.
Dwarves drank even while researching, refining weapons, and in the mines.
Alcohol was like water to them.
Unaware of the dwarves’ love for alcohol, I spoke lightly.
– Aaaah!
– Demon! It’s a demon’s medicine!!!
– It must be destroyed! Such medicine must disappear from this world!!!
– War, it’s war!
The dwarves chose alcohol over medicine.

ㄴ These days I can’t sleep at all.
ㄴ My head feels dizzy.
ㄴ The mining work isn’t hard at all, but I don’t know why this is happening.
ㄴ Head Moderator☆: This ^^;
The exact same posts as before.
But surprisingly, these were posts that appeared in the gallery a few days later.
The dwarves who learned about the red medicine didn’t touch it.
The mere mention of not being able to drink alcohol caused an uproar, leading to this situation.
– Haha, emergency medicine jackpot.
– Yeah, please boycott it.
– Haha, ‘Human Victory.’
– Yummy~~~
Thanks to this, only those suffering from chronic headaches benefited.
None of the dwarves bought it.
The headache problem remained unchanged.
“Recently, the crack seems to have gotten bigger…”
The crack in the corner of my storage, the pet lava, had grown larger.
Because of it, there seemed to be more groaning in the gallery. Was this the limit of viral marketing?
“I think I need to prepare for the crack.”
I had a great communication tool, the shotgun, and immunity from long gallery browsing, but other races didn’t.
Frankly, it wouldn’t be strange if something jumped out of there someday.
We were in a state of truce after a defeat, not peacetime.
Gallery members needed to be fine for the gallery to function.
At least, I wanted to prepare a countermeasure for nausea.
Just as I was pondering alone.
Innocent and Virtuous: Head Moderator, are you there~
A message came from the popular user, Innocent and Virtuous.
Head Moderator☆: Oh
Innocent and Virtuous:*^^*?
Head Moderator☆: May I ask if you are finally going to upload a GIF, as I have been eagerly waiting for? Ah!!!!!
Innocent and Virtuous: ^^;
It had been about a month since the erotic GIF ban was enforced due to Innocent and Virtuous, a succubus, resolving her food supply.
I wondered if she was going to upload, but that wasn’t the reason she contacted me.
Innocent and Virtuous: I have a way to solve the dwarves’ headache problem… Want to hear it? ㅇ3ㅇ?
It was about the dwarf problem I had been pondering recently.
Head Moderator☆: Oh, is there a way?
Innocent and Virtuous: *^^* Of course!
Curious about her confident reply, I listened to her suggestion.
Head Moderator☆: Oh?
It was indeed a tempting proposal.
The next day.
