Infinite Mage - Chapter 1191
Dark Organization (1)
Yorahan was heartbroken.
‘It’s not wrong.’
Although he has visited many cities so far, his ideas are not popular with the public.
‘But there is someone who understands. If someone sympathizes with it, it’s not wrong.’
Even if we weren’t human, I didn’t think it mattered as long as we could relate.
“thank you. Not only did it save my life, but it was also a great help.”
“you’re welcome. Seeker, your thoughts are really great. “There is nothing logically wrong with it.”
Yorahan’s worries lay there.
‘If everyone is a little considerate, the pain will disappear. There is no contradiction. So why can’t we reach it?’
Because human life itself is contradictory.
‘Convincing them is the reason I exist. Okay, let’s start again. ‘In this town.’
Jorahan asked.
“No shame, but can I stay for a while? “I will help in any way I can.”
“Don’t say that. Please teach the Hwa people many things. Everyone will listen.”
Hwajok helps humans.
As long as the teachings of someone presumed to be Buddha are passed down through the lotus lineage.
‘This person is different. ‘We are different from the humans who tormented us.’
The words of my ancestors came to mind.
-Luthia Nevertheless, you must believe. Humans are a species that makes mistakes but ultimately finds the right path.
Maybe this man….
“Try to get some rest. You may still feel unwell. “I will tell the kids.”
“thank you.”
Yorahan added because he was concerned about the conversation between the Chinese people he overheard a little while ago.
“Oh, and you don’t have to be too nice to me. I’m used to penance. haha!”
Lutia smiled.
“okay.”
Perhaps this was the very little consideration he was preaching.
“Then I will go back first. “I need to unpack some and check my notes.”
Jorahan returned to his cabin.
“Phew, luckily I didn’t get wet.”
The moment he took the notebook he was using as a diary and notepad and rolled up the tent again.
“Ahh! It’s a surprise!”
Armand was standing in front of me.
“you.”
“Ah yes.”
When I looked at him with those fierce eyes, my heart pounded as if I had already committed a crime.
“You’re staying in this town?”
“That’s it. There will never be any inconvenience. “I can promise you that.”
“You know about the Hwa tribe, right?”
“Oh no! “I have a certain feeling, but in detail… I am absolutely not a bad person…!”
“No matter what they say, I don’t trust anything humans say.”
Yorahan kept his mouth shut.
“I will be watching you all day from now on. When eating, going to the bathroom, and sleeping. okay? “I figure out what happens the moment it goes out of my sight.”
“And the bathroom?”
I thought it was harsh, but I understood it if what they said about the Hwajok was true.
‘A race that cannot refuse the demands of others? ‘If you see me doing this, it’s not a lie.’
“What is the answer?”
Yorahan looked at Armand’s burning eyes for a moment and spoke with resignation.
“yes. “If that makes you feel safe.”
And so… a strange cohabitation began.
Melkidu inner track.
Sirone and his party came here from outer track 321, Khan Pilgrim’s Village.
There is also an entrance on external track 122, but I heard that it is not recommended.
“It arrived sooner than expected.”
Nade looked back at the scene in compartment 7, where he arrived first on the inner track.
“Isn’t it… a city?”
To be exact, it was part of the city.
Gray buildings stretched endlessly along the horizon, each section blocked off by a wall.
Iruki said.
“The cylindrical structure was divided into 197 compartments. If there are non-players on the outside track, this may be run by the managers themselves.”
Eden agreed.
“Well, items that strengthen dice or cause variables in the system are the domain of administrators. But what can I say… it’s too blatant?”
Sirone took a step forward.
“Let’s think of it as getting closer to the core. Seeing as no message appears, I guess the mission only occurs in certain situations. “The hidden mission we’re looking for is probably that kind of thing.”
Nade said.
“It is important to obtain information about purchases, but the most urgent thing is to use points. Current points are approximately 206 million. Since 50 million has to be saved for purchase costs, it can be said that resources are limited. “And the minimum is 50 million.”
Iruki nodded.
“hmm. Let’s assume reinforcement costs and item prices under the premise that the more crime points you save, the better.”
When I entered the government office, there was a left and right fork where the number 7 was written in large letters.
“On one side is the system business and on the other is the shopping corner. In other words, strengthening dice and purchasing items.”
“First, let’s start with system work.”
There was no disagreement as Curtis advised to strengthen the dice as much as possible.
“welcome. “I am the manager of Sector 7.”
There was a woman sitting in a neat suit that did not look at all suitable for a murderer’s resting place.
“Uh, so…
“This is your first time. welcome. “This is where you apply for Crime Dice enhancements.”
“yes. how much is it?”
“The basics of Crime Dice are two 6-eye dice. Dice reinforcement is divided into two types: increasing eyes or increasing dice objects. The price manager pointed to the price list on the table.
“It all depends on the grade. In sector 7, only basic strengthening is possible. Please confirm it.”
The group checked the price list.
‘It costs 10 million points to raise your 6th eye to 7th eye. 100 million points to raise from 7 to 8? The increase is crazy.’
Increasing the dice was even worse.
‘100 million points to raise from 2 to 3. ‘To raise it from 3 to 4… 1 billion points?’
Considering that the price of the key known as the standard route was 10 billion, it was an enormous amount.
Nade looked back at Sirone.
“It’s serious.”
“huh. Mr. Curtis had one octahedron and two hexahedrons. So, a whopping 210 million points were spent on reinforcement.”
It exceeded Sirone’s points.
The manager intervened.
“Reinforcement is really important. No matter how good the item is, if the Crime Dice is weak, its efficiency will decrease.” Eden said.
“But why did Mr. Curtis become so strong? “Wouldn’t it be more effective to change all three dice into seven-sided ones?”
Iruki clenched his chin.
“…It’s a double.”
“double?”
“okay. No matter how many dice you have, if two of the same number come up, a double decision is triggered. Yes?”
The manager nodded.
“yes. you’re right.”
“So, as the number of dice increases, the probability of getting a double increases. You only need to get 2 out of 3 or 2 out of 4. On the other hand, if the number of dice increases, “the probability actually decreases.” “Because the variables that can determine a double increase.”
“That’s right. It’s a small probability, but in Melkidu, where dice are everything, it would be a huge difference. A difference that is worth paying 80 million more points for. In the end, blindly enlarging your eyes is not a good thing. Rather, what is important is the number of dice.”
That is the norm.
‘We don’t care. No, to be exact, Shirone doesn’t care. Because any number can be manipulated.’
Sirone was also thinking the same thing,
‘Hmm. Anyway, I have to give 100 million and get one more dice. Because 2 and 3 are of different dimensions. In that case, going with 7 7 7 is 1 more advantageous in total.’
It is only 1, but that 1 will one day become a thousand or ten thousand and determine victory or defeat.
Iruki asked.
“Is there a build you’d like to recommend?”
“Every build has pros and cons. It varies depending on the user’s inclination, and the strategy and tactics also change depending on which item is mainly used. For example, an item called Bonanza
is calculated by subtracting the smallest number from the largest number and multiplying it. In that case, dice with an asymmetric balance have a higher probability of getting a higher number.”
“Hmm, I guess I need to know the items too. But from what I heard, it’s not as efficient as the Wind God.”
Change all pluses to multiplication.
“Hehe, the Wind God is a high-end item. While some users play with a small number of high-quality items, there are also users who compete with many low-level items. For the latter users, Bonanza is very cost-effective.”
The manager continued.
“So the only hints I can give you are based on statistics. Among Melki Do’s 3-dice users, 17% of them are using the 8 6 6 build. This means that users’ tastes are diverse. The characteristics of 8 6 6 are that it allows for stable tactical operation and has good compatibility with items. However, here, 7 6 6 is the limit, so if you want to strengthen from 7 to 8, you must go to sector 40 or higher.”
“That’s it.”
Iruki nodded.
“There are two pilgrim entrances on the outer track. Numbers 122 and 321. However, if you enter number 122, it goes backwards from internal track number 197. In that case, you may end up buying expensive items in the beginning and not be able to buy the items you really need. Also, you may make a mistake in strengthening.” Eden said.
“But if you are a veteran who already has the items or whose dice have been strengthened, it doesn’t matter. You can go the other way.”
“yes. So this is a structure to prevent beginner’s luck. If you are lucky enough to enter the inner track early on and buy a specific item, the gap will continue to widen due to the snowball effect.”
Nade grumbled.
“For a game about killing people, this is annoyingly reasonable. Are you telling me to kill you fairly?”
The manager took it as a compliment.
“thank you. The fast track strategy you just mentioned was also popular at one time. You have to regurgitate 197 spaces, but you can buy items anyway, and after one turn, you will pass through to high difficulty area number 321. Of course, to use this strategy, the user’s skills must be excellent, but…
Sirone also thought it was a strategy worth trying in the second cycle.
The manager reminded us.
“Was this explained sufficiently? Then, I will help you with the reinforcement work. There are two ways to strengthen. Pay one point in full. “Discount two points.”
The group blinked.
“Is there a discount? “Is it some kind of holiday event?”
“It is a system for users. “If you convince me, I can enhance Crime Dice with a 20% discount from the set number of points.”
“20 percent?”
It was larger than expected.
‘Assuming you increase the number of dice to 100 million, you can save 20 million.’
Nade asked.
“How can I convince you? Can we at least have a cup of tea and talk?”
“Hehe no.”
The manager smiled coldly.
“Dice, of course.”
Curtis’s words that dice are king in the inner track suddenly came to mind.
