Weed and Yurin arrived at the Tower of Light.
Observing from a high place, Weed realized that there were way more people than when he left for the Debkart mountains. With the news that there was a grand architecture being constructed, there was a massive influx of both Newbies and wanderers from the Central Continent.
"Hmm. Need a change of clothes."
When he sold his work, he deliberately wore the shabby clothes of Newbies.
It was not because there were no special options required to make a sculpture.
“Cause it looks cool!”
Art means hunger.
Some parties from the Central Continent wearing unwashed Newbie clothing had that meaning behind it.
Weed opened his guild chatting window as well as his 'whisper' after changing clothes.
He occasionally opened the chat window in order to obtain information so that he could create sculptures in Morata.
However, it seems that something was up if they did not hear at any gossip at all.
Members of the Wilderness Traveler Guild had socially rich oriented Professions and their Levels were high. The Guild often spoke worthwhile information. There was a lot of talk about the grounds of the Square.
That was also why many Merchants knew about it.
The Merchant Guild contained rumors, market information, and necessary goods needed for adventurers.
"Well, see you later."
Weed separated from Yurin and walked the streets of Morata.
Looking around the square there were players of various levels.
Many of them were looking for members to make hunting parties.
From this sight one could see the future was bright for Morata!
A satisfied smile was beginning to form on Weed's face.
"Get meals free of charge. Our Lord is providing the food. Those who are hungry, come and get it!"
There were hundreds of people standing in line for Morata's Soup Kitchen!
Free meals that people could eat without restriction. A teenage girl was talking to someone who was about to receive food.
"Our lord truly is the greatest."
"Indeed. No where else would anyone give out free meals."
"Also the beef soup being served is so tasty."
"How can there be such delicious food in a soup kitchen? The menu changes daily, even people with levels higher than 300 come to eat here."
Weed's tongue quivered in anger. (TN: I'm not sure how a tongue quivers in anger, I might have translated wrong, or it might be a Korean saying)
He held back a million curses from spewing out of his throat!
As a result of the free meals players would be able to work hard in hunting, which would increase taxes paid.
However, in Weed's mind all of it was at his own expense.
Female Players devour their Mana without regard for budget usage, thereby the hoped to increase their limit by having more side dishes.
"I would like three servings, please!"
"I have to go hunting, so two more bowls please."
“Is this enough?”
Five female users greedily devoured the food without restraint.
Their job was that of a warrior which was physically demanding! The combatant professions must move their body a lot and thus had to eat a lot as well.
Weed felt as if his own flesh being torn every time he saw food disappear into the women's mouth.
"This must be what it feels like when a girl orders steak, drinks and salad on a blind date?”
Just imagining that hell, he felt like suffocating!
The popularity of the soup kitchen was great and people constantly came to dine before heading elsewhere.
Newbie’s were brandishing flimsy swords, not decent against a fight, wore wide brimmed hat with no options, accounted for the vast majority.
When their levels rose, even though some would still return for the soup kitchen, but most of them would have more money and then search for better food.
“Shouldn’t be so stingy over food. How much food is being eaten by people? Soup Kitchen Information Window!"
