(A late-night Halkaas meme)

(Collection of post titles filled with expletives)

I feel like I’m being rude for no reason… Q_Q

I didn’t want to say this because it seems like meddling, but… Q_Q

The posts just seem so messy? Like a sewer? I think it might be okay to curse a bit… Q_Q

How about just loading your posts with a bit of courtesy? Q!

– What the hell are you talking about?

ㄴ Seriously, what kind of insane wording is this?

ㄴ Are the elves having a severe ear issue? Is brain damage suspected?

– I think this is happening because of the ranking system.

ㄴ The elves aren’t the problem, but maybe it’d be better to keep the nonsense in check? Q_Q

ㄴ Should we just blame the humans? Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q

“This is a disaster.”

Ever since the introduction of the ranking system in the marketplace…

The gallery went completely bonkers.

It wasn’t just one particular post causing this chaos.

Writing sarcastic critiques became the norm.

[Title: Ethnic Proxy Buying in the Marketplace]

Author: Safe Trading Purchase

(A meme about chicken from the marketplace)

(New posts of soup and tteokbokki in the marketplace)

Quick purchases, fast delivery, perfect and reliable transactions, extensive trading experience.

Up to 200 maximum units—purchase in parts.

Blue color level certification available, location sharing possible – during transactions.

– Is the transaction possible right now?

ㄴ Author) Just tell us your address, and our staff will consult you directly. ^^

ㄴ Author) For safety, this post will be deleted after a minute.

ㄴ Head of the Gallery*) ㅋㅋ

ㄴ Author) Whoa

This type of proxy buying started exploding in places, much quicker than I had anticipated.

– Read this on how to level up… jpg

– I’m from the purple group, so ask me anything.

– I’m craving tteokbokki. What should I do? Q_Q

From guides on leveling up to bizarre upvote counts on empty posts…

[Title: Deleted in One Minute]

Yup

[Upvotes: 482] [Downvotes: 1]

– What the hell, why are there so many upvotes?

“You know, the premise was all wrong from the start.”

This ranking system was created as a vague reminder for all the Halkaas bombing victims.

But why is there even a ranking system in the gallery?

The ranking system just breeds disruption.

I hoped it would be just the right motivation, but modern food was like drugs back in the medieval times.

Eventually, I had no choice but to raise both hands and surrender.

[Notice: Stop!]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

(A frog meme with a palm spread firmly)

[Upvotes: 9999+] [Downvotes: 0]

– Haha, there’s no stopping it now.

– Using “stop” in a cowardly way.

– So, what’s this all about?

– Head of the Gallery*) I’m abolishing the ranking system. It seems like it doesn’t function well.

ㄴ Wow!

ㄴ Gallery normalization is truly great under the Head of the Gallery.

ㄴ Whoa, less than half a day, and it’s already corrected. Lol

ㄴ But why does the main point get hidden in the comments?

ㄴ Well… because it’s funny…

“It can’t be just like the Gal Cafe…”

At least as long as I’m the Head of the Gallery, it has to remain true to its identity.

Throwing sarcastic comments around and reporting each other is only sufficient in that far valley!

– So, how will it be modified?

ㄴ Haha, it just means everything can be purchased.

ㄴ I couldn’t stop thinking about chicken all day, that’s awesome.

ㄴ sax

Within moments of my defeat announcement, the gallery turned into a festival vibe.

People thought they could eat chicken freely like yesterday.

– Head of the Gallery*) That’s not true, you know?

ㄴ ?

ㄴ ??

However, just because the ranking system is abolished doesn’t mean I thought of releasing chicken endlessly.

“I did make a lot from dumplings with the chicken prices from yesterday…”

To me, dumplings were merely one of the good sources of experience points.

This couldn’t become the main event.

Chicken doesn’t fall from the sky.

I have to purchase it with points in the shop, meaning in the end, my points would decrease.

“Points are always right.”

For me, the most important currency was definitely points.

Besides, the reckless consumption of Gallums wasn’t exactly beneficial for the gallery either.

[‘The Ethnic Marketplace’ will temporarily close.]

– ?

– Huh?

– No way, this can’t be happening!!1!!

Eventually, I decided to temporarily close the ethnic marketplace system.

[Notice: Notice regarding the ethnic marketplace]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

I wanted to use it to block Halkaas and tacticals, but I failed.

If we go on with this proxy buying scheme, it feels like all sorts of crimes will come out.

So, I closed it.

Q. What should I do without chicken?

A. That’s not it, it’s a temporary closure…

x

– It’ll take a long time.

– Seems like it’s flaunting intellectual vanity.

– 100% chance of causing disputes.

Q. What should I do without chicken?

A. Then just die.

Yup

– This can’t be happening.

– Ugh, damn it… Head of the Gallery!

– No way, this is dictatorship!!!

ㄴ Head of the Gallery*) (Frog meme with a mustache)

Even modern humans became accustomed to delivery food.

Let alone the medieval Gallums, who had no chance of withstanding that.

Thus, protests started flooding in… but…

This is what?

…Another World’s Destruction Gallery.

“Then just die.”

With perfect logic, I left the notice, causing a massive notification explosion.

[Admin Chat]

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire: Head, is that you?

Pure Elf: U… we even exchanged insignias…

Dragon Dragon X: ㅇuㅇ I think Head is a great leader who cares for his subordinates.

Of course, my slaves, no, my deputies also hurriedly sent me messages.

But there was no need for them to be surprised.

Head of the Gallery*: ㅇㅇ I’ll give you what you ask for.

I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire: Love you!

Pure Elf: Th…that’s amazing!!!

Dragon Dragon X: //ㅇuㅇ//

Well, how many would it take? It wouldn’t really make a big loss for my points anyway.

The gallery’s employees weren’t even getting paid properly.

[Notice: Notice regarding the ethnic marketplace (revised)]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

Oh, deputies and gallery doctors who work hard for our gallery are not included. Haha

[Upvotes: 3921] [Downvotes: 7795]

– Th-this is dictatorship!

– Head of the Gallery, how can you do this to us!

ㄴ Head of the Gallery*) (Want a blue-light sticker? meme)

ㄴ Elkyahh!

ㄴ Heeek

Fortunately, with the Gallums’ agreement, they allowed this part to be exempted.

“Is this how it gets resolved?”

Successfully calming down the source of the issue, the ranking system, without much discontent.

…

There’s no way it could have been successful, though.

“I mean, isn’t one per week alright?”

Even changing it to one piece per person weekly to consider point consumption didn’t help, the gallery remained chaotic.

[Title: How to make chicken seasoning sauce]

(A frog grinning meme)

This is just bait.

There’s nothing like that.

But what can you do?

What are you capable of, you little brat? Lol.

Besides getting mad or leaving curse comments, what can you actually do, huh? Lol.

[Upvotes: 12] [Downvotes: 32]

– Haha

– Hehe…

– Hoo…

[Title: Has the chicken arrived!?]

(Countdown to chicken purchase limit removal: 6 days, 23 hours, 10 minutes)

Nope, not happening.

Go buy meal kits in the marketplace. Lol.

[Upvotes: 12] [Downvotes: 12]

– Waiting 50 minutes for 6 days and 23 hours, 10 minutes…

ㄴ This is like life.

ㄴ But why should someone like Head of the Gallery give chicken to you all?

ㄴ Don’t attack me with facts, you jerk!

– Should I really think about catching a chicken at home for the hundredth time?

ㄴ You have a chicken at home…?

ㄴ What a rich guy.

There is a significant problem when it comes to eating chicken.

Lack of oil and lack of meat.

Even if somehow some meat gets fried, making seasoning sauce in the medieval era was nearly impossible.

Of course, the absence of chicken wasn’t stopping the gallery from functioning.

“This is somewhat odd.”

No particular public outrage was formed against me either.

Instead, even with the purchase limits in place, people merely expressed their disappointment in writing.

[Title: How disgusting and selfish people are. Lol]

(Meme of a tuna can with 1 mana)

People who didn’t even know tuna existed, thanks to me, were not starving and got to eat and sleep.

But now that chicken is here, they’re crying about wanting to eat chicken! Lol.

If I were Head of the Gallery, I’d probably just throw it all away. Lol.

[Upvotes: 420] [Downvotes: 21]

– But it is a fact.

– Blaming Head of the Gallery for chicken? Isn’t that just human nature? Lol.

– Humans are selfish, indeed. Haha.

ㄴ You’re part of the issue, you jerk.

[Title: Don’t you think being a deputy is really sweet?]

Even if I get to do this kind of gallery stuff while receiving chicken, I want to whine about it.

[Upvotes: 0] [Downvotes: 201]

– Do it for us!

– You too, do it for us!

– A deputy? How dare you…

– You little punk!

In the medieval era, chickens were considered divine.

They’re precious animals giving eggs, a vital protein source, and didn’t require much effort to raise.

Each one was an important asset, and killing one was not an option.

Even if I tried to recreate the taste by making sauce, that was impossible.

“Man, this is kinda sad.”

If only I had gotten some good curses after reading my notice, I would have gone for the “then just die” mindset.

But everyone just seems to be accepting the situation and feeling blue, which made them feel a bit pitiful.

Naturally, the gallery’s atmosphere was also cooling down.

“Isn’t there any way out?”

Actually, the seasoning for fried chicken is cheap.

However, if presented in the market, it would lead to killing the previously cherished chicken, making it worse than just providing chicken.

The issue was indeed the lack of chicken…

[Title: Eek! Eek! Recent news about the monster tower…jpg]

(Everyone looking up at the sky)

(Harpies popping out from the rift)

Ugh, a flying mob appeared!!

Oh?

[Upvotes: 7777] [Downvotes: 0]

– Oh?

– (A hungry dog meme drooling)

– Look at the upvote unity, lol.

– (An elf looking lively)

“Oh?”

For the first time, a solution seemed to come not from the shop but from the rift.
