Next Progress

There are no taxes in New Future City.

But this was really absurd talk.

How could a city operate without any taxes existing?

“If you pay taxes, you get citizen rights, but if you don’t, you’re an illegal resident… isn’t that how it works? Since you’re not affiliated with New Future, you can’t complain even if you’re treated like impurities.”

Only by paying taxes are you given the right to enjoy New Future City’s infrastructure.

Because infrastructure is maintained by taxes.

Especially now that the Police have recruited Espada.

For them to receive salaries and maintain dignity, taxes were absolutely essential.

Who would want to fight criminals without any compensation?

For life-threatening work, it was only reasonable that appropriate compensation should follow.

“B-but if you suddenly ask us to pay taxes that weren’t even planned…”

At the words of the other person maintaining their shop owner RP, I moved the screen and nodded my character’s head.

“I understand. I completely understand, since we’re suddenly telling you to pay money, how flustering and… unpleasant must that be? It probably feels like extortion too.”

“Y-yes, that’s right.”

– Wait, Mungi has this level of understanding?

– It’s me! Mung Jong-won!

– MungTV wow

– God of Mung-sa

– Teacher Mung Eun-young

“But you need to take into consideration that we’re protecting you.”

– lololololol

– Here comes the twist lol

– Please take into consideration

– What?

– ??? : Just take it into consideration lol

– Please bear with it lol

But if we backed down here, what would happen to the Police’s reputation?

The chief personally stepped forward and couldn’t get anything?

This would be crushing the Police’s pride.

“If… let’s say a crime happens 10 minutes from now… and we don’t protect your shop because you didn’t pay taxes, how regretful would that be?”

“If we don’t pay taxes… you won’t protect us?”

“Then how are you different from criminals, thinking it makes sense to pocket all profits without paying any taxes?”

“T-then how much approximately…”

Hmm, now we’re finally having a proper conversation.

I smiled very satisfactorily at how quickly an agreement was being reached, faster than expected.

“Taxes, you know, how much do you pay? Obviously you pay according to how much you earn.”

Don’t forget, taxes come with percentages.

“…I’ll pay.”

As soon as we collected our first tax revenue, I smiled brightly.

“Yeah, yeah… Our police will definitely protect this shop, and since it’s your first tax payment, um, I’ll give you my personal phone number! Contact me if anything happens!”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“Yeah, you can even tell people you went to the sauna with me.”

– Is this a cop or a gangster

– But you do have to pay taxes, right

– Looking at the results, it’s ultimately the correct picture of rights and duties where you pay taxes in places with crime and police protect you

– But the process is too gangster-like

– Hey, this is the process of protecting citizens

– For real

– For real

– Criminal Mungppo ㅇ/3/ㅇ

– Is he wearing a mask?

– Damn lololololol

– Mung Kiss *3*

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

– Deep Munghyeo “3”~

– Multiple Munpo Clone Technique (‘3’3’3’3’3’3’3’3’)

But now that I’ve actually collected taxes, I thought – do I have to repeat this process with over 200 people?

That’s what occurred to me.

“It’s not like I’m doing daily loans, how can I meet people every single day, and there will be people who don’t even log in.”

There are only 10 police officers at most.

We can’t possibly cover all 200+ people by visiting them directly.

Besides, doing this kind of WWE every time we collect taxes is only fun at first.

Later on, it’ll just be really annoying.

‘Hmm, I need to find a way around this.’

And when I need to find methods like this, it’s always.

“Solshinemon!!!”

Finding the server host was the wisest approach.

+++++

New Future City server, day 3 of opening.

Criminal organizations were slowly emerging, and Major Corporation members with big sponsorships were gradually opening shops.

While various activities continued, such as forming groups using their respective RPs.

Word spread throughout the city that police were officially starting their activities and would begin collecting taxes.

But how could they possibly collect taxes from over 200 people one by one?

“Doesn’t that make no sense?”

“Right, it’s practically impossible.”

“Hey hey, just say you’ll pay and then don’t actually pay.”

So the New Future City residents didn’t think much of it.

Naturally, Police Chief Mung Dong-seok, who was aware of this problem.

“We can use the system, there’s a mail function. Send it cash on delivery, and anyone who doesn’t pay money we’ll consider as no longer being citizens from now on.”

I quickly looked for a method.

Among the cash-on-delivery systems, there was even a function that somehow made people pay money by percentage.

It was so optimized for collecting taxes that it made me wonder if this was what it was designed for.

Then the next problem was how to send mail to all users every day.

And how to check who wasn’t sending it.

In this part, Shin Sol-shin, the server host, provided active help.

By linking the system with Excel to quickly display who had given and who hadn’t.

And with just one button click, mail could be sent to all users.

But naturally.

“No, what do we do if they suddenly tell us to pay?”

“This isn’t right! We’re earning money penny by penny with difficulty.”

“The criminals are already learning skills like lockpicking to pick locks and showing signs of gradually stealing.”

“Isn’t this making fools of people who work diligently?”

Resistance followed.

It was an unavoidable story.

If it had existed from the first day, they might have just accepted it and moved on.

But if you tell them to pay taxes starting from day 3 when they’re seriously earning and saving money.

Naturally, resistance was bound to arise.

The police were also aware of this.

And their choice was.

“Police officer! Over here! Over here!”

“What’s the matter?”

“That person beat me up badly! Really unspeakably! While cursing at me too! Please punish them!”

“…Hmm? What, you didn’t pay taxes?”

“Huh, what?”

“A citizen beat up a non-citizen… what’s the problem with that?”

“…”

It was thorough discrimination.

By adding the word ‘citizens” in front of the police who could mediate disputes.

And by not treating those who don’t pay taxes as citizens.

Even if those who refuse to pay taxes weren’t immediately treated as criminals.

“How dare a non-citizen call the police, you need a beating.”

“Aaaahhh!”

They thoroughly discriminated against citizens to prioritize citizens’ rights.

The logic that ‘those who don’t pay taxes = non-citizens’ spread widely.

“Fine, I’ll just not pay taxes and live as a criminal!”

“Right! What’s the problem! Anyway, the longer the server continues, the more taxes we’ll have to pay!”

“If citizens arm themselves too! Can’t we form something like a self-defense force among ourselves?!”

Among the citizens, those who don’t pay taxes began to unite their intentions.

Criminal organizations that had been slowly forming began to be created in earnest with specific purposes.

“Those tax-dodging vermin gathered together? They’re gathering to… ha, ridiculous.”

A full-scale confrontation structure between police and criminal organizations was established.

While a proper storyline was being formed around the single issue of taxes.

“…There are many criminal organizations, but there are only a few places where they actually gather.”

“That’s correct.”

“Then… we should prepare as well.”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s recruit a few people who can work quietly without anyone knowing.”

While Mungi began recruiting talent for the next build up.

With taxes accumulated penny by penny, he became the first in New Future City to successfully purchase firearms.

Using this as a starting point, he began rapidly distributing guns to the Espada members.

By the 4th day.

While criminal organizations were busy making money without paying taxes.

Although they couldn’t shoot much, all police officers were now armed with firearms.

“From now on, shoot anyone who doesn’t pay taxes and acts arrogantly. Got it? We don’t even need to buy blank rounds.”

“Yes sir!”

They had completely finished preparing to immediately eliminate crime.

Since the police were limited in number, naturally they had no choice but to stay ahead of criminal organizations in the early stages.

Thus, armed police began patrolling around New Future City.

While the confrontational structure between criminal organizations and police was gradually intensifying.

“Rarebong Club opening! Come to Rarebong Club!”

“…Wait, there’s a crazy person promoting a club in front of the Police Station.”

“I paid my taxes, is there a problem?”

“Well, not really.”

Mungi encountered Lera, who was promoting her club in front of the Police Station.

++++++

“Wait, Larebong, are you crazy? Where do you think this is to be promoting a club?”

“Police officers can come to the club too. We’re all honest taxpayers.”

“Ah, well… that’s true, but why does it feel like you’re trying to get involved with me?”

– Hahahahahahaha

– Wait, she’s your wife so of course you’ll get involved

– Mungi, do you understand fate?

“Exactly! A club that even the Police Chief visits! How great is that for promotion! It gives off such a legal vibe.”

“I know, I get it. But really, sorry to ask, but why are you shaking your chest while talking?”

“What can I do when they’re big and naturally shake?”

“…”

I was at a loss for words here.

Normally I would just calmly counter back.

But I kept remembering that scene where she leaned her chest over the table while receiving that lunch box delivery.

‘Get it together, get it together! You’re not that kind of person.’

I pulled myself together again and continued speaking.

“I’ll come, so don’t corrupt the atmosphere here and stay at the club, please.”

“Oh, you said you’re coming? Then I’ll trust you and wait at the club!”

I sent the club owner back to where they belonged for now.

– Mungi, come to think of it, didn’t you get 1 invitation?

– Now that you mention it, that’s right

– Who are you going to use it on?

– Is there anyone in particular to use it on though, everyone who was playing together is already in

– EV, Jjining, well they’re all here

“Ah, but I can’t tell you what this is because of what I’m doing right now. I already used my invitation, secretly.”

– Huh?

– Really?

– But why didn’t you say anything

– What sneaky thing are you trying to do again

– Building up something?

Around the time I was finishing my communication with the Chat Room.

“Club… a club.”

I muttered to myself as a sudden thought came to mind.

And then.

“But don’t non-citizens also come to clubs?”

– ?

– Suddenly?

– No way

– Right?

“A club is clearly a place that operates by paying taxes, but if non-citizens come there and act up saying we’re a Criminal Organization! then what should we do?”

A brilliant idea came to me.

“Catching those who break into empty houses and beat people up… that’s important, but large-scale sweeps are important too, aren’t they.”

Using the club as bait.

Gathering all the non-citizen groups who come without knowing anything.

And sweeping them all out at once.

Due to the Server’s characteristics, even if they get detained, one day is the maximum anyway.

And even that can be reduced through various means.

But just doing something like this was originally very important on the GTA Server.

“Call everyone, we need to do something at the club today.”

I immediately called for Espada.

It seemed like this would be the first moment where the police would properly play an active role.

++++++

Club owner Larebong.

And her true self, Lera.

‘Hmm, but honestly, it does seem like he’s somewhat conscious of me.’

As she recalled the conversation she’d just had with Mungi.

She remembered the woman who had once come out of the restaurant with Mungi before.

Come to think of it, didn’t he say he had eaten with that person?

Of course, she had also delivered lunch boxes and even brought hoodies, so it could be said they were more or less even.

‘But just staying here saying it’s fun is a bit…’

She felt like she needed a stronger decisive move.

And so.

‘Should I suggest we watch a movie together next time?’

She was naturally calculating her next move.
