My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

At around one hundred and seventy five centimeters tall, it was difficult for his waist circumference to become too small. Yet during the years when he often could not eat enough, Joo Joowon remembered that his waist had once reached fifty five centimeters, perhaps even less. Calling him as thin as a stick would not have been an exaggeration.

Because his nutrition had been inadequate when he was young, even with his large frame supporting him, his waist circumference had genuinely been smaller than that of most men of a similar height.

Back when he attended school, there had been several people in the class who were around the same height as him, yet his waist had been the smallest among them.

After all, because he often skipped breakfast and went hungry due to lack of money, he had simply never gained weight.

Because he had experienced that kind of life before, Joo Joowon genuinely was not sure.

The pants he usually wore all had elastic waistbands, so he had never noticed whether his waist circumference had changed after the apocalypse.

After removing the Beginner Belt, Joo Joowon attempted to equip the item.

The system displayed that he did not meet the equipment requirements.

This meant the equipment would go to waste, wouldn’t it?

After all, Joo Joowon had no way to modify equipment.

Aside from beginner equipment, all other gear was indestructible.

When attacked, it only lost durability instead of being damaged.

...Wait.

If all it took was losing a little durability to punch an extra hole in the belt, then perhaps that was not entirely unacceptable.

After all, a belt only protected a very small area to begin with.

Its main purpose was still the attribute bonuses.

Losing a little durability did not seem like such a terrible trade.

Thinking this, Joo Joowon took the belt out directly.

The appearance of the Big Belly Belt was that of a standard leather belt that an ordinary middle aged man would wear, causing his expression to become somewhat complicated.

It was not that he disliked how the belt looked.

Having equipment to wear at all was already a blessing.

The only thing he truly cared about was its attribute bonuses.

The real reason was that Joo Joowon felt as though this belt had been stripped directly from the Big Belly Zombie.

Because the Big Belly Zombie had been so enormously fat, Joo Joowon had not even been able to tell whether it had been wearing a belt or not.

All he had seen were layer upon layer of fat.

Its trousers had already burst apart, but from the scraps of fabric that remained, he could tell that before its transformation it had probably been wearing a pair of dress pants.

And men who wore dress pants generally wore belts, didn’t they?

On top of that, after Joo Joowon materialized the belt from the card, its length felt strangely appropriate.

It was neither a standard belt length nor the minimum waist size.

He recalled the appearance of the Big Belly Boss, estimated the width of its waist beneath all that fat and felt that the belt’s size matched it surprisingly well.

As everyone knew, for middle aged men with large beer bellies, a belt was almost never actually worn around the waist.

Instead, it rested below the belly.

When coincidences piled up to a certain point, they could no longer be called coincidences.

A subtle feeling of discomfort rose in Joo Joowon’s heart, but he quickly pushed it aside.

After all, the equipment itself was innocent.

After comparing the belt against his waist, Joo Joowon directly used spider silk to try punching a new hole through an appropriate position on the belt.

According to the rules of most games, modifying equipment usually required a specialized crafting profession.

Right now, however, he had no such conditions.

Since leaving the equipment unused would only waste it, there was no harm in giving it a try.

Even if he failed, at worst he would only lose a little durability.

But if he succeeded, he would immediately gain five additional attribute points.

There was absolutely nothing to lose.

After sacrificing a single point of durability, Joo Joowon finally managed to create a new hole in the belt.

He immediately checked its attributes.

...

[ Big Belly Belt ]

[ Grade] : Rare

[ Durability: 3/4 ]

[ Equipment Slot ]: Belt

[ Equipment Bonuses ]: Constitution +3, Strength +2

[ Equipment Requirement ]: Waist circumference no less than 68

[ Description ]: A belt specially designed for overweight individuals. Maximum supported waist circumference: 500 cm.

...

Joo Joowon felt completely satisfied.

Not because he could finally equip the belt, but because he had discovered an entirely new way to exploit the system.

Although the price was one point of durability and it could only make very minor modifications, it at least made it possible for some otherwise useless equipment to become usable.

The remaining two cards were equally interesting.

...

[ Unknown Coordinates ]

[ Grade ]: ?

[ Description ]: After being contaminated by a special influence, the favored "believer" entered the Sea of Quanta and was fortunate enough to participate in the ritual and partake of the divine feast. Perhaps these coordinates could be handed over to someone who needs them?

...

Joo Joowon’s attention immediately focused on one particular phrase.

The Sea of Quanta.

Was that the place he had entered after being struck by the Big Belly Boss’s skill?

Joo Joowon could not confirm it.

He simply committed the term to memory before putting the card away.

After all, there was no way he was going to travel to those Unknown Coordinates himself.

Wouldn’t that be the same as walking directly into the enemy’s headquarters?

As for handing it over to "someone who needs it," he had not even met a single NPC so far.

Even if he wanted to give it away, there was no one to give it to.

The last card was fairly ordinary, although he could not equip it either.

[ Quanta Crystal ]
