Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 114

# 114

114. Eve (2)

[Just kidding.]

“It’s a bad joke to the heart.”

I smiled.

Yurnet’s voice continued.

[The Master contacted me like this…]

“Yes, I’m going to the boss stage soon. Just in case, I’ll tell you in advance.”

[Does this mean that you might get into an accident?]

“It’s not impossible.”

I’ve already explained the mission and difficulty of Taonier to Yurnet.

Yurnet, after hearing the story, was even more opposed to my going back, but somehow she was persuaded.

[Master, don’t hesitate to use the ring if it becomes dangerous.]

“Okay.”

‘I don’t intend to write much, but.’

There is a big penalty for using it in missions.

It bothered me that it consumed 3 rounds at once, and according to Yurnet, it takes time to summon a weapon. Above all, his identity is exposed to Amkena and the heroes. It was an ability that could not be used carelessly.

‘It is not used in missions.’

Unless it’s just before death.

I made my decision again and continued.

The subject matter was nothing. Niflheim’s current situation and what happened after I returned. Nihaku, who returned in a hurry after hearing the news, said he was greatly disappointed. I laughed and passed it on.

[If Master allows it, Nihaku in Taoni…]

“No.”

[I see.]

A light laugh was heard.

[Anyway, Master. Preserve the octopus. The Master’s life is no longer only the Master’s.]

“Don’t worry. I have no thoughts of dying. I’ll call you back later.”

[You must not go back. Never.]

“I know. I’ll tell you right away when I get back. Don’t be sad this time.”

[This is the correct answer.]

“Sure.”

I turned the ring to the right.

The flow of magical power that enveloped her body was scattered.

There are several sheets of paper fluttering on the desk.

It was a preliminary strategy written by predicting the 30th floor. On the leftmost piece of paper, there are three different types of missions. Each was an exploration subjugation escape.

This prediction will hit with a fair chance for normal accounts.

It was actually tested. But Taoneir’s missions often exceed my expectations. The attack on the left was an outsider to the last. On the other hand, the more you move to the right, the higher the importance. The structure of the labyrinth I experienced in the bonus stage is recorded.

‘This map appears somehow.’

I don’t know how it will come out, but

I will have to memorize it unconditionally.

In addition, the overall specifications of the first party and the status of the other party’s waiting room were meticulously written. All of these were reference points for the attack.

evening the next day.

Amkena sent the heroes on the 1st floor who stole supplies to the 30th floor.

I knew the purpose right away.

It was an advance party to obtain information on the 30th floor.

Taken by Isel, they were annihilated after less than 5 minutes. Despite being annihilated at the very beginning of the mission, one thing was certain about the 30th floor.

[※Caution!]

[This mission is a large mission that requires five parties. If the number of party members is insufficient, use paid summons or free summons to recruit heroes!]

The log at the time of the competition came to mind.

You can tell without looking at the internal situation. The 30th floor was Taoni’s first large mission. The required party is five. Amkena fielded five solo parties as a starter and they oxidized cleanly.

‘In an official attack, twenty-five people are needed.’

Amkena made rapid progress.

Training up to the 3rd party is almost over. It was time to foster the rest of the party.

The frequency of the 4th and 5th parties being called out increased rapidly. They roamed the desert fields and improved their combat proficiency.

Things outside of battle were well prepared.

Iolka, who was practicing formation at the training center, was suddenly taken to the magic hall. The purpose is high-speed research. Iolka spent eighteen hours a day solving the problem.

“Isn’t that a bit harsh?”

“I can’t help it. Because I need it.”

Iolka is the only person who can still research Taoni.

The hero response level in the waiting room is 3. In order to properly roll the five party common raid, you must raise the research level to at least 5. After suffering for three days and nights, Iolka was finally freed.

[Blessing!] [Research ‘

Tips/About communication]

[Smooth communication is the basis of a party! Heroes who have acquired this skill will be able to communicate effectively and increase the efficiency of linked play.]

As the Reactivity Research level reached 5, communication was opened.

The effect of the function is simple. long-distance conversation. This makes it possible to communicate even if the distance between the parties is far. It was essential for missions using wide fields. It’s a low level, so the effect isn’t high, but it’s far better than nothing. I immediately called Edith and explained the function.

“Can we talk even if we are far away?”

“You can think of it as magic. The method is…”

It was similar to the know-how when making a proposal to the Master.

[Like this.]

Edith backed away halfway.

“A voice echoes in my head. It’s amazing.”

“Try it too. I think you’ll need it on the 30th floor.”

“okay.”

Edith closed her eyes.

[Can you hear it?]

“It sounds good. Remember how to use it. Pass it on to other parties.”

There are no limits.

The first is that only the party leader can use it. The second is that there is no communication between the same party. The distance was not too long. About 1 km at most. It will gradually improve as the level of communication increases.

‘If I make an item, it will be further supplemented.’

Currently, there are no enchanters in the waiting room.

I decided to stop at this point.

After unlocking the communication function, Amkena gave the 4th and 5th parties a replay stone.

They are trying to make up for the shortcoming of the two parties that they lack experience. The equipment factory constantly produced equipment equipped with heat dissipation and ventilation functions to match the characteristics of the desert field. The same goes for various anti-depressants and potions. Amkena was preparing pretty well.

‘I can’t call myself a gamer anymore.’

I entered the training center feeling a subtle difference.

First, I saw Belquist and Nerissa exchanging sword strikes in the arena. On the bench next to the arena, Jenna was sitting and flapping her legs.

“Oppa, it’s hard to see your face these days. You must be quite busy.”

“There are many places to stop.”

I sat next to Jenna.

Basically, they do not interfere with other parties, but if they live like others, the efficiency of cooperation decreases. Even for large-scale missions, a minimum exchange was necessary.

‘It would be difficult if I kept dying.’

I said while looking at Belquist.

“Since when have you been doing that?”

“Well, since this morning. He hasn’t even taken a break. He said that with a little effort, something will happen.”

Kang!

Missing the triple sword, Nerissa took three steps back.

It seemed that the battle had come to an end. Belquist firmly straightened his sword and said.

“Grab the sword. Go next.”

“….”

Nerissa pulled out the three swords stuck in the barbed wire with a look of boredom.

The sparring began again. Belquist blasted Nerissa with heat all over her body.

‘It’s not long.’

The sword’s trajectory is changing.

The conditions for intermediate weapon skills that Ridigion had been talking about. It felt subtle that he was building his own territory. If you get a little chance, you will immediately break through the wall.

“That oppa is great too. In a way, he seems to be one drink better than Aaron oppa. It feels like he’s actually risking his life, not practicing. It’s the same when sparring.”

Jenna said with a wry smile.

“Are we not risking our lives?

I put my hand on Jenna’s head and stood up.

Nerissa retreats, sweating. Nerissa also went through a lot of training, but rather than focusing on weapon skills, she focused more on information search and auxiliary skills related to traps. Now, the gap with Belquist, a pure combatant, has widened.

kang!

Belquist dodged Nerissa’s triple sword and took a stance.

A high-speed, powerful thrust pierced Nerissa’s chest. I immediately ran out, opened the arena door, and moved my right hand. The drawn sword deflected Belquist’s stab.

“Nerissa, back off. I’ll take care of this guy.”

“…sorry.”

Nerissa ignored me and left the arena.

“You’ve been going somewhere since morning, so you’re late. I’ve been waiting all day.”

“Sorry for being late.”

I sharpened my sword.

“As expected, it was worth coming to the 1st party.

“Since when did you talk so much?”

Belquist grinned.

At the same time, he swung his sword with explosive speed.

‘This guy…’

Pure talent is inferior to Zena. But the fighting spirit is tremendous. No matter how many times you knock it down, it gets up and hits you again. No matter how overwhelming the gap was, there was no sign of breaking. If it wasn’t for this level,

‘I would have left Aaron behind.’

I laughed and ran out.

That night Belquist mastered intermediate weaponry.

Along the way, I was also able to raise my weapon skills to level 3.

More time passed.

‘Status window.’

[Han Israt (★★★) Lv. 29(Exp 13/160)]

[Class: Warrior]

[Strength: 62/62]

[Intelligence: 10/10]

[Stamina: 58/58]

[Agility: 57/57]

[Skill: Intermediate Swordsmanship (Lv.3) Divine Swordsmanship (Lv.1) Attack (Lv.2) Intellect (Lv.6) Fire Resistance (Lv.3) Pain Resistance (Lv.6) Calmness (Lv.6) Berserk (Lv.8) Indomitability (Lv. 3) Dragon Slay (Lv. 1) Equestrian Art (Lv. 1)]

The specs have already risen to the limit.

Intermediate swordsmanship increased by 3 levels of attack, and in addition to composure and madness, indomitability was raised. If there’s just one thing I’m sorry about.

‘It doesn’t come together.’

It is clear that composure and madness create synergy, but they do not match perfectly yet. I decided not to rush. As experience and training accumulate, it will be solved by itself.

The status of other members is no different.

His level was in his late 20s, and he raised his skill level as much as he could. As long as a few minor things were taken care of, it wouldn’t be too much to go out immediately tomorrow.

“…”

I touched the ring on my left hand.

A cool feeling ran through my fingers. With my right hand, I wrote down the patterns and strategies of the missions I had observed as a master on paper. It is impossible to perfectly predict what missions will come out. Even so, I had no intention of letting go.

The 30th floor will be more difficult than the 20th floor.

If nothing else, this is certain. At first glance, Pick Me Up seems like a game of luck, but there are set rules. An easy mission meant that a much tougher mission would come later.

The overall difficulty of the game never goes downhill.

It only gets harder as you go. However, you can have relativity within it. You have to become stronger and prepare more thoroughly.

‘I’m not going back yet.’

I gave up on myself to stay in Niflheim.

to improve my own abilities. This was a kind of test. I wonder if I can survive on my own in this world. It hasn’t changed much from when I first decided to survive. The only difference is…

I looked next to the desk.

Crushed cakes are placed on a white plate.

Jenna always made it for her hard work. I picked it up with a fork and ate a piece.

‘…the taste isn’t great.’

It’s too sweet.

I munched on the cake.

‘If possible.’

I don’t want to taste the bitter feeling.

Just like that time on the 5th floor.

Another night ended like that.
