Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 104
# 104
104. Let’s fight! (1)
[Notice to passengers in the cabin!]
I opened my eyes.
The hammock inside the cabin swayed slowly with me on it.
[This ship will arrive in Taoniar soon. If you are getting off, please come out to the deck!]
I looked at the window.
Through the glass, the desolate wilderness and the tower were reflected.
[Dimension 1935 – Taoni]
I got off the bed.
[Come out of the Taoni, please!]
Liddell’s voice continued.
I looked to the side. Jenna was nowhere to be seen. It seemed to go out first while I was asleep. I left the cabin and followed the stairs to the deck. On the way, I ran into Jenna.
“Ah, oppa. I was going to go find it anyway.”
“Have you missed anything?”
“Yes, I didn’t bring anything. I did everything there.”
Jenna stood shoulder to shoulder with me.
When I went out to the deck, a cool breeze brushed my cheeks. The airship was approaching the dimensional vortex near the tower. Liddell, who was standing on the left side of the deck, turned around.
“Two excellent students are here. First and second place side by side!
“I have a colleague waiting for me.”
“Then I can’t help it. It’s a pity.”
Liddell laughed and looked away.
The dimensional vortex began to swallow the airship from the front.
and.
A strong sense of inertia mounted on his body, and the scenery changed in an instant.
A straight aisle with a high ceiling that stretches from front to back. It was a dimensional gap.
A familiar message came to mind.
[Dispatch completed!]
[‘Han(★★★)’ and ‘Jenna(★★★)’ have safely returned from ‘Nippleheim’.] [‘
Han(★★★)’ and ‘Jenna(★★★)’ )’ is now possible.]
[※The hero’s status has changed due to the dispatch effect. Check the ‘Hero’ tab for details!]
It was Amkena’s information window.
From here on, it is judged as the territory of the Taoni language.
[Ejects the stairs.]
Clap.
Stairs assembled from the balustrade extended down.
I walked down the stairs. Liddell waved from behind the railing.
“I wish you well!”
Jenna also came down.
As soon as I stepped on the floor of the dimensional rift, the airship began to reverse.
[Titling!]
[The airship ‘Landgrid 07’ belonging to ‘Nippleheim’ is departing.]
The Landgrid was sucked into the dimensional vortex and eventually disappeared.
The airship’s characteristic maneuver sound disappeared. What remained was silence.
“It’s quiet.”
Jenna muttered and looked up.
I also looked at it. The sky is a dark black. Master is not connected. Judging by the color, it seemed that it was late at night. Jenna scratched her cheek.
“Aren’t you going to come out to meet me?”
“I didn’t even tell you when you would come, how will you come?”
They said it would be about a month, but they never told us when they would arrive.
The vast dimensional chasm was empty except for the two of us.
“I have to go out and go to my dorm. Have a good night’s sleep in my room and say hello tomorrow. Oppa is…”
Looking at me, Jenna shook her head.
“Looks like you need some time. I’ll go first!”
Jenna sprinted towards the exit.
‘He’s quick to notice.’
I smiled and looked around the corner.
The shadowed inner stardust shimmered.
“What are you doing there? Why are you stuck there?”
[Lockyyyy!]
A small girl the size of a forearm came out from the inside.
Black hair and two pairs of transparent wings. It was Issel.
[You’re here! I thought you wouldn’t come, I thought you wouldn’t come!]
“What time are you waiting for?”
[I was so worried because I knew you wouldn’t come back.]
Issel took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.
The handkerchief was soaked with water.
“Whenever you threaten to come back.”
[But compared to this kind of corner guy, Niflheim is really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn’t have come back. Didn’t you catch them because the kids there told you not to go?]
“I did.”
[Throw it away and do it for me…]
Isel’s eyes were watery again.
‘…for you.’
I decided to bury the truth.
I like it at best, but I don’t like choking. It’s not even 100% irrelevant.
It took Isel ten minutes to calm down.
Isel, who had found her usual vigor, circled around me.
[Anyway, welcome back! Are you tired? Go home and rest today. The facilities are great too. It’s not the old Taoni. A lot has changed.]
“Really?”
[Cancer cancer. You will be surprised.]
Issel nodded with his hand on his waist.
I started walking.
Returning here is ten days in real time. One month in game time.
It’s not a short time. If Amkena had been playing the game consistently, something would have changed, either externally or internally. I went out through the open door to the plaza on the second floor.
The square hasn’t changed much.
There is a fountain in the center and benches surround it. It seems that there are no passers-by because time is time. However, there was something familiar on the wall to the right. I knew it the moment I saw it.
It was a staircase.
“Is it on the third floor?”
[Gorumgorum! Taoni is now on the 3rd floor! This is because the first floor is higher.]
Issel put on a triumphant expression and continued.
[The first floor is useless trash! The second floor is filled with assistant positions and unripe prospects. And on the 3rd floor…]
“It’s a combat job.”
[answer! Cooking is delicious, the bed is soft, and there are quite a few things to play with.]
I crossed my arms.
On the first floor, newcomers with no skills. On the second floor, there are auxiliary and reserve combat positions. On the 3rd floor, the main combat job.
Amkena is using the same structure I had in mind even in the waiting room on the third floor. It meant that they still believed in my strategy.
‘Maybe you checked the email I sent you properly.’
The main content was to apply for dispatch to Niflheim, but in addition to that, two pieces of advice were attached.
First, supplement your power with advanced summons. Second, do not trust my strategy too much and develop your own skills. The second has a general sense, but the first is different.
“How many people went into the 3rd floor? It must be a 1st Army combat job.”
I picked a hero that could be called a strategy group.
Five people in one party, me, Jenna, and Iolka Belquist Nerissa. Edith and Roderick in Party 2. There were seven in total.
[There are 15 people on the 3rd floor. Of course, including Loki!]
“It’s twice as many.”
[That’s right.]
With 15 people.
‘It’s complete up to 3 parties.’
While I was out training, Amkena didn’t seem to be idle either.
Same goes for other heroes. Each of them will be at least one step stronger. I headed for the stairs. I was thinking of taking a look around the third floor.
“Assuming that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow match, in three days we will be able to quickly penetrate the 21st floor.”
I muttered and moved on.
Then it stopped just before the stairs. Looking back, Isel was hesitant.
“Why are you bruising? Did you eat something wrong?”
[No, that’s…]
Issel laughed hehehe.
It was a strangely awkward expression.
[Don’t get me wrong, listen. there’s loki When you’re not there, Taone
speaks …]
I chuckled.
It’s clear when you look at Issel’s solid timing.
“You climbed the tower while I was gone, right?”
[Ugh…]
Isel nodded sloppily.
His neck was stiff as if he had committed a sin.
“What’s so hard about it? It doesn’t matter as long as they don’t get destroyed while attacking. They say there are 15 people belonging to the 3rd floor, so no one seems to have died.”
[That’s right. No one died in the raid.]
When Jenna and I were away, we climbed the tower.
‘It’s surprising.’
After the previous strike incident, Amkena became quite cautious.
I didn’t carelessly enter the party until the preparations were ready. However, it is a strategy without the two main forces of the first party.
“So, how many floors did you drill?”
[…25th floor.]
“25th floor?”
[Yes.]
“The 25th floor, not the 24th floor. Is that right?”
[That’s right.]
I took a step off the stairs.
The story has changed. I can understand up to the 24th floor. This is because sub-stages are not that difficult except in special cases. But the 25th floor is different.
‘I broke the boss stage.’
It’s not something to be taken for granted.
The fact that Amkena sent the party and the mission ended successfully.
‘It’s definitely changed.’
As Isel said, the Taoni language has changed.
It also went in a different direction than I expected.
“The 25th floor must have been a small mission.”
[It was a solo mission with one party. Since I have farmed reclaimed stones, I will be able to watch the strategy video when the Master logs in tomorrow and requests it.]
I touched my chin.
‘The 1st party probably didn’t go into the raid.’
Without me and Jenna, the formation wouldn’t be properly formed.
Even if you fill the two seats with other members, your strength will drop to less than half. Amkena had no reason to send out the 1st party.
The situation with the 2nd party is no different.
On the 20th floor, 2 people died and Aaron was sent away. Even if a new force joined, there was a feeling that the force was a little lacking for a solo attack.
So, one possibility remains.
I opened my mouth.
“Isel, when was the last time the Master performed an Advanced Summon?”
[Just a month ago. Loki summoned it right after he went to Niflheim.]
“Show me the system log from that time.”
[Wait a minute!]
Issel opened the ledger and started flipping it over.
I took a deep breath.
‘Amkena did a paid lottery right away as soon as I left.’
It was an action that faithfully followed my advice.
The summoning period was one month ago from now. The adaptation of the heroes will already be over. Isel’s hand, which was going through the ledger, stopped.
[Ah, I found it! I’ll show you now.]
Issel’s ledger disappeared into the light.
At the same time, a hologram window popped up. It was a system message announcing the summoning.
[Master advanced summoning begins!]
[You have selected 5 consecutive summons. A total of 2500 gems are consumed. Do you want to summon?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
5 consecutive summons.
“Did you do some hyeonjil?”
[I shouted the package right before.]
The summoning window continued.
[Master Advanced Summons begin. I can’t wait to see what kind of hero will come out!]
[Talkak Durururu]
[Two-kwang!]
[Rare!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Rakari (★★★)’!] A
magic circle was drawn on the screen. The hero’s name and grade illustration came to mind.
The next summons began.
[Rare!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Nishhazu (★★★)’!] [
Rare!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Daruma (★★★)’ You did!]
[Rare!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Nandio (★★★)’!]
4th player.
and last.
‘here.’
I narrowed my eyes.
[Too Kwakakang!]
[Isel: No, this feeling?!]
There was a strong explosion.
[! !Super! !Rare!!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Kishasha (★★★★)’!]
The message continued.
[Tee-ring!]
[I feel a strong connection among the five summoned people.]
[A bond ‘Gale running through the forest’ has been created!]
“You can turn it off.”
System log is gone.
‘A lucky guy.’
1% chance to pierce twice.
In any case, the predictions were correct.
Amkena hit the jackpot in the lottery.
And if this was a month ago.
‘It must have grown as it grew.’
I clicked my tongue.
