Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 110
# 110
110. Sub Quest (1)
The estimate has already been set.
I went back to the training center on the 3rd floor and told the members.
“Tomorrow, I’m going to the 25th floor.
“It’s fast.”
Belquist, who was sitting in a chair and lifting dumbbells, said.
Weighs about 30 kg. It is raised and lowered as if it were a 5 kg weight.
“Are you staying up all night? It won’t take an hour or two to get your senses back.”
“It doesn’t leak until night. You shouldn’t ruin your condition. It’s right to work harder than usual. Everyone says to gather.”
“I will call Miss Iolka.”
Nerissa entered the door of the Magic Hall.
Then Jenna came down from the shooting range. It was next that Iolka came out with Nerissa.
“You’re going in tomorrow right?”
“Why are you dissatisfied?”
“I’m not dissatisfied… Dude, something seems to have changed. I can’t see where I left the shield, and we’ve changed too. Wouldn’t it be a bit quicker to compete in one day?”
“Don’t worry. Roles don’t change much. Just do what you do.”
I don’t have a shield, but my role within the party remains the same.
Along with Belquist, he acts as a front striker and blocks attacks going to the rear. Xena, who mainly uses shortbows, and Nerissa, who can easily switch from short to medium range, were the lieutenant, and Iolka, who uses magic, was the rearmost. It was a simple yet effective formation.
‘It doesn’t matter how strong I become.’
Still I act as part of the party.
shoulder to shoulder and fight together. This was a basic iron rule for survival. I knew very well how heroes who overconfident in their own strength died.
2 parties were mobilized for formation training to raise the sense of actual combat.
Edith nodded her head obediently at my words. Willing to help anytime if needed. He also said that he was waiting for training with us.
“From left to right, it’s Anan, Benik, and Lilini.”
Edith introduced the new member of the 2nd party.
All three of them are not very old. From late teens to early to mid 20’s. Their eyes were shining with longing as they looked at me.
“I’ve heard a lot about it, bro! I’ve seen it myself!”
“hmm?”
“The way he looked when he caught the black dragon… It was really cool.”
Ananda took a step closer to me.
Anan was a handsome young man with attractive blond hair. He wore simple leather armor and wore a sharp longsword at his waist and a round shield behind his back.
‘This guy…’
I recalled the past.
Two people who called me big brother and followed me. He also used the same sword as mine. They were bleeding to death on the fifth floor.
‘Gide and Hanson.’
I smiled bitterly.
I didn’t regret it, and I would make the same choice if I went back, but I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
“I’m Benik. I’ve heard a lot of stories. Please take good care of me.”
“He’s just like this, he’s a hot guy when you get to know him.”
Ananda grinned.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Benic, a calm young man, tickled.
A pair of daggers and a shortbow are hanging from her waist. It was the same weapon composition as Edith.
“I-I’m Lilini.”
Finally, a quiet woman who had been standing there bowed her head to me.
For some reason, his expression is hardened. A long spear hung far beyond her height on her back. Edith, who was looking at the three of them, said.
“They joined the 2nd party two weeks ago. Their enthusiasm is excellent, and their performance is not bad. They will be of great help to us in future missions.”
“I will do my best!”
“Your voice is too loud.”
Edith smiled softly.
It was a smile I hadn’t seen in a while. I spoke quietly so that the three could not hear.
“Give me affection in moderation. It’ll be hard later.”
“are you okay.”
Edith said as promised.
“This time, I will never let you die.”
“I see.”
‘The erratic guy.’
Edith Callen.
It looks cold-hearted, but it has a lot of affection. When Usher and Diran died, I noticed that although he was outwardly unconcerned, he was quite heartbroken. It was not like a mercenary who rolled and rolled.
‘What do I know?’
I looked around at the three of them.
Lively Annan and Calm Benic. And quiet lyrini. At a glance, they look good. It reminded me of the old trio.
‘It must have been a long thought.’
I erased my thoughts
There is no time to indulge in sentiment. In order to get proper sleep, I had to focus on training right now. sereung. I drew my sword
“I’ll ask you right away. Form a group of five people. Just attack us like you’re killing an enemy.”
“Gee, are you really doing it?”
Lilini, who was fiddling with the wooden spear, said.
“Then do you want to fake it? Throw it away and use the real one on the back. It’s okay to get hurt.”
“Let’s do as Han said. You don’t have to be burdened.”
Lilini nodded and took out her long spear.
Edith drew her dagger. Then Roderick and Benic Annan also drew their weapons.
“Don’t look at me. It’s a waste of time if I’m clumsy.”
‘I don’t have the skills to do that, though.’
Edith and Roderick are quite a force.
However, the last three were not strong enough. You could tell just by looking at the way the weapon was drawn.
“That cowardly woman was at the same party as me.”
Belquist drew his sword and smiled coldly.
“Do you know me?”
“Everyone knows. When we first fought, he was right next to me. He was so scared that he only got in the way.
“The talent is excellent. The temper just gets in the way.”
Nerissa added.
The two parties were gathering in a circle and talking.
Seeing this, Iolka said dissatisfiedly.
“The difference in atmosphere is huge. It looks harmonious over there. Except for one person in our party, there are only blocks of ice. There is no fun, no consideration, no romance. No fighting.”
“Does fun feed you?”
“I agree.”
“That’s right.”
“Ehh.”
Iolka shook her head and walked slowly backwards.
It is to weave the formation.
After a while, parties 1 and 2 collided.
The main purpose is to raise the sense of real combat in group competitions.
I could stir it by myself if I wanted to, but I refrain from this training. The key was to revive the senses while maintaining formation. Therefore, the tug-of-war between formations continued with minimal movement.
The reason for the existence of the formation is to maintain combat power, reduce the stamina consumption rate of members, cover the weaknesses of party members, and add strengths.
No matter how strong I become, I can’t beat Iolka’s single-shot firepower.
Also, rather than fighting alone, receiving long-distance support from the back members is the way to become stronger many times over.
In that respect, the 2nd party became a good practice partner.
The tactical objectives of the 2nd party changed from time to time. Even though I focus on Iolka, I focus my firepower on me and Belquist, and sometimes I dig into Jenna and Nerissa. As we bumped into each other, naturally, we were able to revive the senses of that time.
‘He’s deliberately creating various situations.’
It was Edith’s sense.
“There is no life on the sword. It’s boring.”
Belquist said it like vomiting, but there must be no way to do that.
It was not possible to force the 2nd party to practice the 1st party’s practical training method, which did not use any practice weapons for sparring or training. Because each party is different.
As the night progressed,
when it was time for a break, Edith spoke to me.
“Han, don’t treat me like you did just this time.”
“I’ve never had that.”
“They only defended themselves. They also need to get hurt.”
“Can I kill you?”
“I think it will!”
“I’m kidding.”
I laughed and looked back.
Four people from the first party were sitting on chairs and resting.
“Did you hear that? You can do anything as long as it doesn’t kill you.”
“…Did I just say that?”
During the next clash, the three members of the second party were carried side by side in less than a minute.
I reduced my hand in my own way, but I couldn’t help but be seriously injured. It was also what Edith wanted.
“Looks like something happened.”
“The rest of us have to go back to fighting, right?”
“That’s right.”
Training cannot cover the real battle.
The stage is on the 25th floor. It would be okay to go to the lower floors, but I’ve already wasted enough time. The difficulty level was over, and the senses were revived enough to be used. I told each member about the background and monsters on the 25th floor.
The background is a desert.
Hundreds of Lizardmen come out.
“There’s nothing wrong with warriors. Just hit and kill them like you would with goblins. But shamans are a little annoying. Kill them right away. Jenna will take care of it.”
“I heard they all look like lizards?”
“He’s holding something like a strange wand. You can tell by looking at it.”
If the shaman is not dealt with in time, other Lizardmen will be berserk.
Things get pretty annoying.
“By the way, if it’s a desert… isn’t it hot?”
Iolka frowned.
“I guess so.”
“I think you’re tired.”
Iolka flapped the hem of her dress.
It was an understandable worry. A desert field is not a pleasant environment for fighting. I passed it over casually as it wasn’t affected when reading the records, but when you actually go in, you’ll feel the temperature.
‘The third party avoided the fight.’
There may be a reason for the weather.
A field with a high temperature acts as a significant penalty in long play.
still.
“I’ll take care of that part. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Are you done talking?”
“Okay. You guys wash up and go to sleep. Don’t stay up all night training.”
I got up from my seat.
I went down to the first floor with the members heading to the dorm behind.
warehouse for the purpose. It was a place where dozens of items were stored. I muttered as I went down the stairs.
“Isel.”
[Yeah!]
The air shimmered and Isel jumped out.
Even though it was a small voice, he responded right away.
“I want to manipulate information.”
[What are you talking about? Information manipulation?]
I held out the ring on my left index finger.
Issel, whose eyes were wide open, approached the ring.
The little finger touched the surface of the ring. And then
[Loud!]
“It’s loud.”
[Where did you get this?!]
“It’s Niflheim. I got it from someone I know.”
[no way! That Yunet seed? The strongest illusionist…]
‘How do you know that?’
I clicked my tongue.
“Anyway, with this ring, they say you can deceive the Master’s attention. I’m going to make an item from now on. Fool me in moderation.”
I’m not planning on making anything special.
At best, it is expendable. But be careful and you won’t lose.
Issel agreed immediately, saying that it was possible with an item like this. therefore.
[ ! Super Success! ]
[‘Han(★★★)’ has created a ‘anti-heat agent’!]
[ !Super Success! ]
[‘Han(★★★)’ uses ‘heat repellant’…]
[ !Super Success! ]
[‘Han(★★★)’ made a ‘heat repellent’…]
A special potion was made in the magic hall.
The item name is heat repellant. It had the effect of preventing heat abnormalities for a certain period of time. It was straight bread from the desert or volcanic region.
In this way, the basic preparations for the sub-quest were completed.
and the next evening.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
[Now Loading….] [

[TOUCH !
[master! ‘Party 1’ leader ‘Han(★★★)’ makes a suggestion.]
[Request – Go to the 25th floor]
[Purpose – Carry out subquests]
[Do you accept?]
[Yes / No]
The hesitation wasn’t long. .
Amkenna touched ‘Yes’.
[Open the space-time gap!]
Knocked up.
With Isel’s lively voice, the space-time gap opened.
I got up from the bench on the first floor.
“let’s go.”
The preparations were over long ago.
Everyone in the 1st party, including me, entered the space-time rift.
Immediately the mirror in the middle began to glow.
[The current number of challenging floors in the main dungeon is 25.]
[The door will open in 10 seconds. Get ready!]
[Recording the mission. Your play record will be preserved.]
[※Notice]
[There is a sub-quest you haven’t completed.]
[The mission will start from the moment the branch appears.]
“Don’t die in vain. This mission is for warming up.”
“I know.”
Light enveloped his entire body.
and.
“…”
right in front of you.
‘Is it starting from here?’
Kneeling, Priasis closed her eyes tightly.
