Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 102
# 102
102. Niflheim (14)
[Puzzle Ready!]
[Difficulty – Super Novice]
The control window has changed and it has moved to the puzzle screen.
However, it is not a multi-faceted puzzle that is common in manual production. There were numerous types of games listed on the screen. Games used in this production. I skimmed through.
‘From the most basic game.’
A jigsaw puzzle that fits horizontally and vertically.
‘Pinball Tetris, finding the wrong picture, and even the square logic crossword rhythm game.’
In addition, various puzzles were displayed as small squares.
A total of 13 types. A flame effect was painted over the puzzle’s start screen all at once.
[Are you ready to endure hell?]
I loosened the knuckles in my fingers.
The preparations have already been made.
“Yurnet.”
[Me too.]
White bookshelves scattered and fluttered around Yurnet.
[Dring!]
[Puzzle Start!]
[1. Cube Puzzle (Super Hell Level + Penalty)]
[27 X 27]
A puzzle screen appeared with a 16-bit background sound.
On the screen, the sword I will make is marked with dots.
Shush shush shush. The graphic of the sword began to rotate at great speed.
‘Right, left, up, down, left, right, right, up, left, up, down, left, right.’
I quickly looked for patterns in the puzzle.
‘Three times to the left. right twice. up five times. down four times.’
As soon as I saw the pattern, I started counting.
There is no time for leisurely analysis. Because the time has come for the penalty to be applied.
[Penalty triggered!]
[※Curse of the blind]
The game screen turned black as if ink had been sprayed on it.
I couldn’t see anything. In that state
[00:30:00]
timeout 30 seconds. timer has run
I moved by dragging outside the game window.
map is not visible But the formula was over.
‘Three to the left. two to the right. five up. four down. two to the left. two to the right. two up. Eight down.’
[Penalty activated!]
[※Curse of Acceleration]
[Timer speeds up!]
The timer started running out twice as fast.
10 seconds left. The screen is still blank.
‘But this much.’
You can do it without looking.
I moved my fingers frantically.
[Puzzle cleared!]
[Time taken – 00:14]
[Match rate – 100%]
The first game is over.
bubbling. The lava lake boiled violently with red light.
[Great!]
[Hell’s fire dwells in the furnace of the beginning!] A
huge magic circle was drawn on the surface of the lake.
[Interference force transmission complete. Start processing at the workshop.]
[Okay!]
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The sound of a hammer hitting an anvil.
don’t look back The second game was starting.
[2. Rhythm Game (Super Hell Level + Penalty)]
The initial screen of the rhythm game was emerging.
I put my right hand on the five keys on the rhythm game.
16-bit music played and a message appeared.
[Start!]
The notes started falling at a mad speed.
At the same time, a penalty was applied. Again, a blind penalty. The side with the keyboard is not visible at all. 90% of the screen was covered.
[128Combo!]
[Perfect!]
[Perfect!]
[Perfect!]
‘There’s nothing impossible.’
Anyway, if you guess the speed and location of the fall, you can know when to press.
I perfectly hit the falling notes by the hundreds per minute. At the super new level, it has to be perfect. A minor mistake could cause a massive loss of quality to the weapon.
[835Combo!]
[Perfect!]
[All combos achieved!]
[Great!]
[The furnace of the beginning contains the purification of hell!]
Glow!
A large fire burst from the lava lake.
[It works. Is he really back?]
[Alloy completed. Use it.]
A dark red iron ingot floated above the lake.
Black Seongcheol. It is the finest metal used to make 5 Shinki. Originally, nine ores were alloyed, but this time, two more materials were added. with a plop. As the iron ingot fell to the surface, the lava turned redder.
“You’ve improved your skills.”
“Now it begins.”
I answered briefly.
The next game followed.
[3. Tetris (super hell level + penalty)]
[Used block: 5 types]
[Blind]
[Acceleration X 3]
Start immediately. Blocks fell without a chance to breathe.
Half of the screen was covered. I calculated the lower part while adjusting the shape of the block. All spaces were filled with blocks, leaving empty spaces in a straight line.
[1Combo!]
[2Combo!]
[3Com….]
I removed the line all at once.
[Clear Tetris!]
[Consecutive combo – 15]
[Great!]
[The primordial furnace is endowed with the magic of hell!]
A flash occurred on top of the lava, and the magic circle turned red.
In a large magic circle, dozens of small magic circles were created one after another. Yurnet was working on the enchantment. I closed my eyes and focused on the game.
[4. Pinball (super hell level + penalty)]
[Acceleration X 3]
I reflexively moved my hand.
The iron ball, which was on the verge of falling, bounced off the panel. The iron ball moved across the field at the same speed as the cannonball.
A super new puzzle game.
The difficulty of the puzzle itself was also a problem. But more of a challenge is that the series of puzzles is endless. without a moment’s rest. I moved my hand briskly.
Sweat began to flow from my body little by little.
‘It’s the fifth minute.’
All 13 games have been completed.
Then
[14. Cube Puzzle (Super Hell Level + Double Penalty)]
[35 X 35]
The screen rotated.
It was starting all over again.
At a slightly higher difficulty than last time.
[Great!]
[The spirit of hell dwells in the primordial furnace!]
Hwaaaaaagh!
A 3m high flame rose from the lake.
As the flames descended, a red-glowing sword lay in the air.
[Forming completed. Go to the next step.]
[15. Find the maze]
[Time limit – 00:30:00] A
tangled picture appeared like a twist.
A small ball is placed in the center of the picture. I rolled the ball with my hand.
Passing through dozens of crossroads, the ball escaped through the exit.
[Great!]
[The Furnace of the Beginning contains the horrors of hell!]
Dozens of magic circles in the lake all at once shrunk and gathered one after another with swords.
[‘Automatic Restoration (A)’ enchantment successful!]
[‘Special Attribution (S)’ enchantment successful!]
[‘Hardness Enhancement (S)’ enchantment….]
Fire!
Once again sparks flew from the lake.
A burst of flame covered the unfinished sword.
Every time the sword was engulfed in flames, it shook violently.
[16. Jigsaw Puzzle]
[100 X 100]
[Time limit – 02:00:00]
[17. Find the wrong picture]
[Time limit – 00:30:00]
Two games appeared at once.
Jigsaw puzzle and find the difference. I disabled the jigsaw puzzle game. The timer runs, but the shorter game had to be played first. When I touched the picture, a circle was drawn. I finished it in under 20 seconds and moved on to the jigsaw puzzle.
‘Slowly.’
10 minutes of puzzles.
It was the timing when my concentration dropped, and the biggest challenge came.
I also accidentally sprinkled ashes on the finished rice here.
[21. Rhythm Game (Super Hell Level + Double Penalty)]
[Acceleration X 3]
[Keyboard – 7]
‘Fifteenth minute.’
[‘Self-Evolution (SS)’ enchantment successful!]
[‘Autonomous Judgment (A+)’ enchantment successful!]
[‘Strike (B)’ enchantment….]
An uncountable number of magic circles gathered around the sword.
The sword body covered in lava finally appeared. Black letters were engraved on the white sword body. 20 minutes. The work arrived at the latter half.
“…”
I only moved my hand, but sweat flowed down like rain.
My vision blurred for a moment.
[Immortal]
[The curse of hell dwells in the furnace of the beginning!]
Pew!
Sticky lava erupted.
A black sheath appeared in the lava.
[Appear. reveal Prove it.]
Yurnet’s voice echoed throughout the cavity.
As each syllable continued, black light rose like mist from the sword and scabbard.
[Teeling!]
[Finale!]
[All the puzzles that have been released so far appear. Clear all games within the time limit!]
[Puzzle type – 32]
[Time limit – 05:00:00]
I exhaled.
“This is the last time.”
Yunet said.
I put my hand on the screen without answering.
and 5 minutes later.
[ ! Super Success! ]
[‘Han(★★★)’ produced ‘Bifrost(U)’!]
A rather clumsy success message came to mind.
I let go of my arm.
“…It’s done.”
The bookshelves scattered around Yurnet disappeared into the light.
“There was no… mistake?”
I drank the water Yurnet gave me.
From the 20th minute, I didn’t count the time properly. It was unclear whether the puzzle was a success or a failure.
“As you can see.”
Yurnet pointed forward.
I saw a lake A sword floated above the furnace. Yurnet waved her hand, and a sword and scabbard flew this way.
“Perfect.”
Yurnet put the sword in its scabbard and held it out to me.
I took the sword A heavy feeling passed through my arms.
I almost lost my strength for a moment.
‘Still, I succeeded in one shot.’
From the new level onwards, I also had to prepare for a few failures.
Brunac and Ruin three times. Claus Solas number 2. Naglfarga 4 times. When I made Levatein, I ate the ingredients 11 times. I shook my head and examined the sword.
It had a longer blade than a typical one-handed sword and was more than one width thicker.
However, it is not ignorantly large like a great sword. It seemed to be a two-handed weapon that could be wielded with either one or both hands depending on the situation.
humming.
He swung the sword in its sheath.
Even though it was my first time writing it, the balance was just right.
‘Item appraisal.’
[Bifrost]
[Grade: Unknown]
[A long sword forged by the flames of hell. It has infinite possibilities.]
[Note – Ownership of special belonging item cannot be transferred, cannot be destroyed]
[Note 2 – User’s data storage (current owner – ‘Han(★★★)’) and self-evolution]
[Note 3 – ‘ Linked with ‘Proof of Fallen (SS)’]
U grade.
There was only one grade in Niflheim.
Next, I looked at the exterior of the sword.
A complex intaglio pattern is engraved on the black scabbard.
When he drew the sword, the white sword body emitted an eerie light.
From the outside, there is nothing very flashy.
It was just as I thought. Carrying a weapon in form is a specification. I don’t even want to draw attention. As long as it was practical, I was satisfied with it.
“Why did you interlock?”
I said with my sword drawn.
An unfamiliar word was written in the third note.
“I’m afraid you’re leaving alone…”
Yurnet lowered her eyes.
I said with a smile.
“So, what did you put in it?”
“It’s a dimension leap. You can summon the weapon in Niflheim to the master’s side.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of such an enchantment.”
“The master’s sword has great power.”
Yurnet continued to explain.
It is said that Bifrost, a U-grade growth weapon, has tremendous interfering power, and it is possible to perform a dimensional jump by linking this with the proof of Fallen Heaven.
“No matter how good the Master is, he cannot know the affairs of this world. Even the Master already…”
“I know.”
I answered.
No matter how prepared and prepared, unexpected events will come.
That was the rule of ‘Pick Me Up’.
“Only three times, when the Master is truly in danger.”
“…”
“Don’t you like it?”
Yurnet looked up at me.
My eyes were shaking.
“If you allow me, I’d rather leave Niflheim and go to Master’s side.”
“That’s not allowed.”
“Then, please accept this gift. If the Master dies in an unfortunate accident, we have no one to turn to.”
I sighed.
“Okay, okay.”
“thank you.”
“I bring Niflheim’s weapon. There are three chances. What are the other conditions?”
“I’m sorry, but the output is reduced in the main mission. The coordinates are so far away. You’ll probably only use it once in a mission.”
“Neither do I.”
Niflheim’s weapons are obviously powerful.
Depending on the use, it will be of great power. However, its use in the main mission is problematic.
‘Amkena is watching.’
If a game character suddenly pulls out a super weapon and wipes out an enemy, bug reports may fly. The customer center of ‘Pick Me Up’ was famous for giving huge rewards to bug reports.
‘Then the opportunity is limited.’
When the master isn’t watching or can’t see it.
There are very few cases like this, but there are quite a lot of them.
‘Rather than use in crisis.’
I thought it would be better if I caught the timing and used it myself.
‘Anyways true.’
I untied the iron sword and shield.
It was the equipment that became my partner for almost two months after the first production.
with a plop.
When I threw the two items into the lava, they melted in less than 3 seconds.
A red-hot air bubble burst and rose, and the sword and shield disappeared.
‘Non-frost.’
I looked at the sword in my hand.
Right now, it’s just a hard, unbreakable sword. However, as time goes by and experience accumulates, it will show its true value.
I hung a new sword on my waist.
