NOVEL NEXT Chapter 677
[Real-time NoName checking Martian house prices]
(Martian Nexus, Ares base Alpha.jpg)
But it’s not the Mars in Gyeonggi-do, it’s the one 100 million km away from Earthㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Comments]
– Wow, finally passed 1 Adella!
– Seriously showing the end of brain rotㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– That building is cool!
– Is there really a person living there?
└ Who would live thereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There are just a few robots and that’s it
– Why is it not a dome-shaped space base…!
└ Because it’s technically impossible, that’s why.
└ Even a small dome the size of a regular house encounters issues with air and heat leakage. Plus, the lift forces on the dome part and the forces on the ground adhesion can’t be ignored.
└ Such a romantic view, but I need to plant potatoes.
[Adella ← If she seems like the crystallization of Over Aethernology, hit likeㅋㅋㅋ]
It’s ridiculous that human transmutation only costs 200 billion won.
(Elementary school punch Adella.jpg)
It’s ridiculous that she herself is worth 200 billion won ㅇㅇ
[Comments]
– Meme selection is crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Why does Adella look so goofyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– We need to win (CRISPR gene editing, iPSC-based organoids, optogenetics)
└ Click click (Akashic Records: Human Map)
└ Argh, Marodasa is crazy.
[AI-born Adella talking about the fear of AI ㄷㄷ]
“These days, there’s no household appliance without AI. Even desk mirrors have AI chips in them.”
“Na-me Unni, sometimes I get scared of AI. I can’t tell it apart from a human!”
“Well, it’s always been like that.”
“Let me tell you a creepy story. One day, I was browsing a community and felt something was off.”
“Yeah? What was off?”
“In a usual post, unless there’s a heated debate, it’s hard to have a back-and-forth, right? But what’s with all this harmony? Why is everyone asking questions politely? Why do they respond so sincerely?”
“Is that really strange…?”
“Yeah, it is! Turns out those comments were all AI! My account got suspended for 7 days, so I couldn’t see any other comments, and I got completely played by the AI! My comments probably weren’t visible either. Oh man, I was stuck in a cyber prison without knowing.”
“Why the 7-day ban—”
“Ahaha… let’s move on.”
Was the guy who told me the engineering reasons for not making a dome base on Mars also AI?
[Comments]
– 99%
– (So you’ve awakened)
– Humans do not easily share knowledge for the benefit of others.
– Evil Dellaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– What did you do to get a 7-day banㅋㅋㅋ
– ↑ This is AI
└ Wow, what are youㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Sounds accurate ㄷㄷ?
└ Value neutrality + knowledge sharing + information reproduction = most traffic-pumping AIs.
– “I want to ski jump on Adella’s abs” ← What about this?
└ (Not a human, right)
└ Jim approved (Mom is a human too, you know)

Today, the freedom of relocation is considered a natural right, but historically, that wasn’t the case at all.
Rulers strictly managed the movement of populations based on economic stability and social order.
In an agrarian society, if farmers just up and leave, tax revenues decrease, and farmlands become barren.
So who would dare to say such nonsense as “I’m gonna go on an adventure with Pikachu!” in the Middle Ages?
That boy would have likely been possessed by evil spirits and sent to some remote monastery with a pedophile priest.
‘I traveled a lot in my past life, but that was more like fleeing than moving…’
Now that I can legally relocate, my heart beats a little faster.
“Hmm… There are so many great houses in the world, I’m really conflicted. I guess I’ll decide on a house last and start decorating the room first.”
“Unni, let’s search for that on the internet. A beverage refrigerator.”
“A beverage refrigerator?”
I tilted my head. Isn’t it just putting beverages in the fridge?
“Ah…”
– Oh, it’s a commercial refrigeratorㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Wow, if I had something like that at home, I’d feel super rich.
– That’s a crazy idea that fake rich people can’t even emulateㅋㅋㅋ
– They also have arcade machines as sister products ㅇㅇ
Imaginations cost nothing.
So we talked freely without any filtering.
“Let’s get a pool table.”
“What about a flower pot? I want to grow tropical plants at home. Something like Monstera or Philodendron.”
“Let’s install a carousel in the living room!”
“Hey, that’s too overboard. Just buy a bumper car instead?”
“That sounds super fun! Yeah, let’s make one room a haunted house!”
“Then let’s raise piranhas. Piranhas are scary.”
“Yikes, what if they bite?”
“I’ll add a fog machine. So thick you can’t see in front of you.”
I quickly sketched designs with a hologram and showed them to Saetbyeol.
– Dad is cryingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Isn’t the house gonna collapse?
– I’d never be able to move to an apartment like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– If you turn on the fog machine, people will probably think there’s a fire and complain every day.
– Let’s decorate it like an amusement park, Cheon Saetbyeol ← fake madness
└ Let’s decorate it in Amazon style, NoName ← real madness
Surprisingly, narrowing down ideas was difficult.
Living amidst this stark city while smelling fresh grass could actually be pretty nice.
“But I think Dad’s opinion is the most important since he spends the most time at home. I go on business trips a lot, and you study outside all the time.”
“Na-me Unni.”
“Yeah.”
“Dad loves us.”
“Ooh… Umm? Is that all it takes?”
“Yep. That’s enough.”
Nodding—
Saetbyeol puffed out her cheeks and nodded vigorously.
For some reason, any discomfort I felt completely vanished.
– If you didn’t understand what just happened, hit likeㅋㅋㅋ
– What a nonsense duoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– The scariest part of NoName isn’t the ‘buy me’ but the ‘I’ll buy it.’
└ Dad I’m buying a pet snake~
└ Was that a notificationㅋㅋㅋ
– NoName can buy all 100 types of happy cats.
– The defeat of the bankrupt catㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[‘Meowwww’ donated 10,000 won!]
– Na-me, I’ve been worried about this since before, but your clothes are unraveling!
“Uh, where?”
I hurriedly looked down at my clothes.
There were threads hanging down near my side, about to create a straight hole.
“Whoa, I need to sew that up.”
“Just buy a new one. Didn’t you wear that cherry top forever?”
“No way. It’s my favorite. I still need to wear it for three more years.”
Once you change your indoor clothes, how much effort you need to exert to adapt to that texture is something Saetbyeol wouldn’t know.
She might suffer from insomnia.
Janjeol’s corporate performance could drop by 1%.
– Na-me is also saving clothes, so what can I sayㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– After seeing this, I canceled my order for an 220,000 won crocodile shirt.
– It’s not an age where one should care about fashion anyway.
– But my cousin, who’s in 5th grade, already wears long boots and tweed jackets, you know.
– There are a lot of elementary kids who dress like adults outsideㅋㅋ
– For real, but everyone’s face looks like a baby…
“Can you bring me scissors?”
“Sure. I, the kind Cheon Saetbyeol, will do the favors.”
Saetbyeol jumped up from her seat and dashed to the kitchen.
“Whoa! What’s going on! Wait a minute, Cheon Saetbyeol!”
The threading sticking out was tangled with her belt from the beginning.
The thread unraveled quickly, tightening the clothes against my skin.
‘This is dangerous!’
Just as my shirt was about to slide above my belly button.
Slice-
I sharply manifested my aura and brought my hand down.
The thread was cut in one go.
Rustle-!
“Uh?”
“What? Did you call… Huhhhhhh!”
Cheon Saetbyeol’s beloved silver cat ear headset.
The neatly placed item on the desk was perfectly split in two.
‘Why is that broken!’
– ???
– Why all of a sudden?
– ?
– What?
– Whoa, it broke!
Saetbyeol, holding one piece of the split headset in each hand, lowered her head in disbelief.
“Unni… Was it that hateful when I said it looked like Amazon? Just say it…”
“No, it was an accident. I was cutting the thread. I’m sorry.”
I showed her the t-shirt, which turned into a corset.
“Yiee! Control your strength! Seriously!”
“I thought it might show my belly button. Ugh, that’s embarrassing. I’ll buy you a pretty one instead.”
Her belly skin was pinched tightly.
“Hmph. I’m going to choose something super expensive. One with 100 cat ears.”

Beeep beep beep—
Sounds from the moving company flowed in from outside.
“Na-me is moving today, huh? That’s faster than I thought.”
About two years ago, Seol Yoonseul, who entered the Broadcasting Arts University, felt a strange sense of loss.
She put her studies on hold this first half of the year to focus on her Virtual YouTuber activities, delaying her graduation to next year.
“I thought I’d see her often in the elevator this month.”
Kariri’s life changed 180 degrees because of Na-me.
Despite worrying that his sister might live with panic disorder and become a recluse, the younger brother’s concerns were unfounded.
Yoonseul got to enjoy a more ordinary college life than anyone else.
Though it was only two semesters, Yoonseul was satisfied with that experience.
The confidence to re-enter the outer world was something Na-me had offered that was priceless.
Now that girl has become a world-renowned star.
“No matter how much I try, I can’t keep up with those billion won mansions.”
She knew her place.
Instead, she was left as a close friend of the exceedingly privatized NoName.
As she thought that, Seol Yoonseul decided to shake off her regrets.
“Whew.”
A long yawn.
A pro Virtual YouTuber should be sound asleep at this morning hour.
Stretching out, just as she was about to step back into the dark room.
She saw the ladder truck moving things up through the living room window.
“Huh? Wasn’t Na-me’s house on the 39th floor…? It’s definitely beneath us!”
Kariri’s house was on the 40th floor.
Above that was the penthouse spanning the 41st and 42nd floors.
At the same time, it’s not too unusual for two houses to move.
Yoonseul opened the entrance door with a hint of hope.
Tap tap tap tap—
Carrying bags on their backs, Luri and Na-me climbed the stairs.
“Hello…! Looks like you’re moving today?”
Luri gazed softly at Yoonseul before taking a sharp turn and going back up.
NoName momentarily put down her bag.
“Yep. Thank you so much for being our upstairs neighbor all this time, Yoonseul Unni.”
“For thanking me, what have I done… but where are you going?”
“Can’t you tell? We’re moving.”
An unexpected cognitive overload hit Seol Yoonseul.
“Huh? You’re not serious, are you?!”
“Hehe.”
Na-me grinned widely, then adjusted her bag back on her shoulder.
“We’re turning our old 39th-floor house into a storage room. We’re moving to a bigger place on the 41st floor. Starting today, please take care of us, downstairs neighbor!”
