Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 155
# 155
155. In the dark
I crossed my arms.
Even if the first party hadn’t stepped forward, today’s result would have been the same.
It could be the difference between taking less time or longer.
[Was it this strong?]
Isel muttered while looking at the screen.
“what?”
[Oh no… I heard that it’s strong, but it’s strange. He said he struggled when he attacked on another server! They said there were many times when they almost lost!]
There were no such stories.
Isel was in a state of distraught.
“Master, congratulations on your 130th victory.”
“I didn’t do anything, so what?”
“Another incongruous humility.”
[There! You know, the other time when #4 attacked! Level 350! At that time, they went to the point of annihilation…!]
“Never.”
You seem to be misunderstanding something.
The seven-star guy was quite strong.
Because it was a proper 7-star, on a different level from that chunk of meat.
However, after being defeated by Siris, he escaped with only his life.
‘That’s why I’m obsessed with 7 stars.’
It’s still like this.
If I could go up one more grade…
it was a pity I couldn’t.
put that thing aside.
I zoomed in on Aaron fighting. Fighting against two attacks. The form that wielded the spear was quite fierce.
“You’ve gotten a lot stronger.”
“Muden said that. I’ll never see a guy with such little talent.”
“okay?”
“It will take a little longer to get it back to where it came from. Now I’ve just learned the basics.”
I nodded.
Aaron did get stronger. You can feel it even through the screen. If you bring it right away, more than 1 person is possible. It will be of great help to Taoneer, whose power has been halved.
But stupid.
‘You have no choice to descend.’
Muden won’t accept it twice.
You should pull out as many mulberries as possible. I erased Aaron’s screen.
“Master, this battle seems to be over soon, but what are you going to do? Are you going back right away?”
“I think so…”
Yurnet’s expression suddenly darkened.
“It was…but I changed my mind.”
“okay.”
Yurnet, who had brightened again, nodded her head.
I pointed to Nord’s fragmented corpse and said.
“I’m going to stay until the analysis of that guy is over.”
I didn’t expect to get a hint about 7 stars in a place like this.
A heavenly chance. Can’t miss it. There was also time left until the week I promised with the kids in Taone.
“Three days, right? I told my colleagues that I would be back within that time.”
“Enough.”
Yurnet waved her hand away, and her flesh trembled and was sucked into the portal.
I looked back at Ridigion and Nihaku standing behind me.
“You guys did a good job too.”
“Hey, thank you!”
“Thanks to Master.”
The two bowed their heads side by side.
I smiled. To think that there will be a day when I face the character I raised.
After minor post-war processing, I returned to the flagship Brunhild.
I was planning to stay here until the results of the analysis came out.
I took care of Niflheim’s business instead of Yurnet, who was busy with research.
After opening the master control window with the help of Yurnet, it is operated as it is on Earth. Receive reports from adjutants and decide the direction to proceed. It was something I always did.
And during the rainy season, he continued sparring with Lidigion.
“It’s worth it.”
“That’s not what you’re talking about.”
Cool.
I wiped the blood from my mouth.
Lidigion stood in front of him with a stiff expression. What I did was simple. Following Exceed, I hit him with the sword soul. Just like squeezing it once.
“…Still, whoa.”
I continued to speak while holding on to my trembling legs.
“I was pushed out of the spot.”
Lydigion had retreated five steps.
Although he adjusted his stats to a level that matched mine, it was a remarkable achievement.
Although it was a bit sad that he only moved five steps with his powerful special move.
‘It looks like it’s going to end.’
I drank an advanced recovery potion.
The pain gradually subsided. I reduced my strength to a minimum, but I couldn’t withstand the recoil.
He survived because the entire training center was covered with recovery magic. In real life, he would have been knocked out straight away.
“It’s a skill with a very high growth potential. It’s like looking at the old Siris.”
Lydigion laughed softly.
“The old Siris?”
“There were a lot of things that I lacked, but I used to overcome them with mystical powers.”
“It’s not a very mysterious power.”
“It was for me.”
Well, it was a rare opportunity.
When I go back, I don’t know when I can face the sword again. I took up my stance and raised my sword.
dinner a few days later.
There is one day left before the return deadline.
I was thinking of going back tomorrow. Reports can also be received in Taoni.
While working in Brunhilt’s temporary office, the door burst open.
“Is it Yurnet?”
“Yes. Excuse me.”
Yurnet walked slowly toward me.
He had a briefcase slung across his side.
“Master, the analysis is over.”
“Good job. Leave it there.”
I opened the bag that Yurnet had placed.
Blue letters are engraved on the dense paper. Documents treated with magic. If you put it in the three seasons under the desk, you could receive it as a hologram.
I went back to the time of the battle against the unity society.
The level that Kaiser’s sub-master Nord finally reached was 185.
According to Yurnet, it met all the conditions for 7 stars. It’s a shame because he was ahead of him. If he had developed his strength steadily, we would have been a little bothered.
‘Where did you get it from?’
For a 7-star promotion, a material called ‘Book of Reverse Heaven’ is required.
The Book of Reversal can be obtained with a low probability in the ‘Transcendence Advent Dungeon’.
It was an explanation introduced in the official guide of Pick Me Up. There is no doubt about its authenticity. Regardless of which item it is.
Kaiser 32, who was the leader of the unity society, disappeared immediately after the battle.
I tried chatting and mailing several times, but there was no response. “I don’t know” was the last message he sent.
‘I don’t know…’
Yurnet is standing next to him.
This guy had information beyond my imagination.
It’s not just Moebius. It is said that he has a reputation as an excellent hacker on Earth. They say magic tricks and hacking codes are similar or something.
[About ‘Kaiser 32’ and ‘Nord Shikal’]
I remembered the preface of the report.
I started scraping the screen down.
First, Kaiser 32.
[Name – Taejun Seo]
[Age – 32]
[Birth – Earth, Seoul, Korea]
Along with the photo, his personal information is recorded.
I was 32 because I was thirty-two.
Sense true. I laughed and read it.
As if proving the billing history of hundreds of millions of won, he was born with a gold spoon or a diamond spoon in his mouth.
The third son of Changshin Group. The Changshin Group was a conglomerate that competed for supremacy in Korea. Originally, he was going to inherit one of the affiliates and live happily… but
he was pushed out of the fight for successor.
He was pushed out of his position as power struggles were repeated, and he was confined to the provinces with only a lot of money.
That’s how the game started. He went through hundreds of millions of dollars for each game and chewed away the number one ranking as if breaking a seal.
‘Hmm.’
He played the role of king by giving money to people around him.
Attached was the testimony of an aide who said that the power was different.
I couldn’t do that in real life, so I think I wanted to be a king in the game.
‘The fifth game was L.’
It’s famous for its exorbitant billing policy.
‘After conquering L, I moved on to Pick Me Up with my clan members…’
That was three months ago in real time.
The back days are the same as I know. While spending money, he recruited a large number of heroes and climbed with plunder and destruction. And while fighting against Niflheim, it was destroyed.
Anyway, to be able to dig up even the origin of the Master.
I clicked my tongue and said.
“Can you even know this?”
“Because it’s recorded on the Mobius server.”
Yurnet cleared her throat and continued.
“Master, what follows may be shocking. Please be prepared.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is Kaiser 32’s recent situation.”
‘…’
I guess.
what happened to that guy
I scratched the scroll.
The next chapter of the report was blank.
However, little by little noise appeared on the screen and a black and white video was played.
[Cam. 32]
A dark room.
Curtains are drawn over the windows and the door is firmly shut.
It was a place where there was no light.
There is only one bed in the room.
On the bed…
“What is this video?”
I frowned.
“It’s a video from a hospital. The security is pretty tight, so we had a hard time breaking through.”
“It’s CCTV.”
“Yes. Changshin General Hospital, 3rd basement floor.”
“That man…”
“Seo Tae-joon, 32 years old. About a month ago, he was diagnosed with brain death.”
‘As expected.’
Several things I had only suspected became clear.
I smiled bitterly.
“Where is my body?”
“Sorry. That’s us too…”
“That’s right. I know.”
“…”
“Wait, I want to be alone.”
“Excuse me.”
Yurnet bowed her head to me and left the room.
I put my hand on the table. The man in the video was sleeping as if he were dead.
In fact, it will. If you’re diagnosed with brain death, you’re just a living corpse.
‘Were Kaiser 32 and Nord not long ago the same person?’
It cannot be explained otherwise.
Half hero half master. It was the seven-star condition that Yurnet once explained.
Other information was gradually collected.
‘The more you fall into the game, the closer the master gets to Mobius.’
Therefore, the higher the layer, the higher the concentration of the interference force.
Just like Amkena is doing now. Heroes become stronger and can have more impact on missions.
Book of Reverse Heaven.
The name was nonsense.
‘It goes against the sky (天).’
I see.
The condition to become 7 stars was simple.
‘A combination of a hero and a master.’
In the process, the Master dies.
Just like Seo Tae-joon became a corpse lying on the bed.
‘Ranking 1st to 4th.’
Little information is known about them.
Only the news that he went up to the 90th floor spreads. But not before. At one time, there were a few guys who were treated as celebrities on community sites. Because I got help once when I was a beginner too.
‘I heard he suddenly went diving.’
did you die
Among them, there was a genius I could admire.
If Kaiser 32 was dead, it would mean that Nord was the de facto leader of the Unity Society.
After gaining the power of 7 stars, he pretended to be a master and invaded Niflheim.
‘There’s a cause.’
Even if someone who knows Seo Tae-joon’s situation shows up, it’s enough to pretend that he’s acting autonomously.
The ranker account above me was the same.
I closed my eyes.
His voice slowly rewinded.
The guy who brought me here. The raspy voice was still clear.
“Can’t you? you are special This place is a gift for you. This is my stage prepared for you, the glorious ranker of Pick Me Up.」
‘…’
「Don’t hate me too much. That you were summoned to Mobius was a surprise even to me. It was unexpected. It was a kind of accident.」
‘…’
「You were the only person who truly realized the meaning of this sentence. Out of 100 million Masters, you were the only one.」
‘…’
「But you were different. You were the only master who truly dominated the waiting room.”
Everything.
It was word of mouth.
I wasn’t called by him.
It was just an accident. Its purpose was only one from the beginning.
‘me.’
I was going to kill you
The synthesis target must have been Siris.
The purpose is nothing to ask.
7 stars.
He opened the transcendence advent dungeon on my account.
However, for unknown reasons, the synthesis failed and I survived.
So the guy rolled his head.
to recycle me.
‘It’s very frugal.’
I think you will do well as a housewife.
isn’t it?
‘tell.’
I muttered the name of a guy I knew.
