Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 205
# 205
205. Don’t hit me even with flowers (3)
“I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”
A steaming teacup was put out on a square wooden table.
There was green tea in the teacup.
“I’ll eat well.”
“Can I get some snacks? I baked them myself…”
“No, that’s it!”
Jenna hurriedly responded and took a sip of green tea.
Belquist was sitting in a chair with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had guests from other places. I’ve only seen people I’ve seen every day, but it feels new.”
The young man smiled helplessly.
Old glasses in wide clothes. He did not carry a dagger on his body.
It was completely unarmed.
‘What is this?’
As soon as we arrived at the port of the ruins,
a gentle young man standing in front of us came to greet us.
If you want to treat guests.
Following the guidance of the young man, we came to a villa on the outskirts of the island.
If this was a trap, I was willing to return it, but no matter how much I looked around, there seemed to be no surprise or attack. It was literally a guest.
“What should I do? These people don’t look like they’re going to fight.”
Jenna whispered to me with a puzzled expression.
I couldn’t help but sigh. I’d like to yell at him and tell him to give up all the items, but…
‘I don’t know Amkena’s intentions.’
If you attack from the other side, you can counterattack as much as you like.
However, it was difficult for us to decide whether to take the first attack without the Master.
Even for beginners.
“I’ll just have to wait.”
“Until the Master comes?”
“okay.”
If you wipe out these guys, Amkena will be tagged.
Indiscriminately slaughtering innocent herbivorous users. If you’re unlucky, it’s justice, and a strange master could stalk you. It was something I had actually experienced.
“You’re holding a sword.”
As I was about to sit still, a young man started talking to me.
I looked up at the guy’s face. No change in facial expression.
just smile softly
“But why?”
“Have you… come to occupy this place?”
There’s no need to be pretentious.
I nodded up and down.
Even so, the young man’s face did not change.
“You don’t want to fight, you need resources, right?”
I narrowed my brows.
You have good eyesight.
but.
If it was obvious that they would attack, they wouldn’t have brought it here.
Even though it is a herbivorous field, it cannot be without needing strength.
Somewhere in this place, there must be strength to defend against foreign enemies.
“Yes, because we have an important mission ahead. There are a lot of monsters out… you know. We need resources here to increase our colleagues.”
Jenna spoke frankly.
The young man nodded and said.
“My master would listen to the request of the guests. Because we share all the items that can be shared. If you explain the circumstances, they will fully accept it.”
I laughed out loud.
I want it out of desperation.
We were shown to the guest quarters on the second floor of the villa.
Here we wait until Earth evening for Amkena to connect and make a decision.
“By the way, senpai, didn’t you need a lot of resources? Even if they distributed them, the amount would be less than monopolizing them. I don’t think it’s enough.”
“I guess so. They say there are only 24 Masters here.”
“It’s frustrating.”
Belquist bit his lip impatiently.
I came expecting a fight, but it’s been like this since before.
I remembered the young man’s explanation.
His name is Adilan Rezos.
He said he was a scholar from the Ladel City continent.
It is said that his master, ‘Saechorom’, was originally a mission-oriented raider, but suddenly changed his policy after climbing to the 44th floor, and then turned peaceful. He said that he decorated the waiting room, raised heroes, and formed a guild to hang out with users with similar tendencies.
“I don’t think I’m defenseless at all. I felt a presence.”
As a thief, Zena’s senses are sharper than mine.
I looked down at the scabbard that was tightly tied to my belt.
‘Is this because 5 people crashed into it to eat here?’
Originally, this ruin was also occupied by PVP-oriented users.
However, he was doing so-called ‘colonial knowledge management’ by increasing his troops based on the resources coming out of this place, collecting taxes from other masters and tyranny, and all the masters of the Eunbyeol guild, including Saechorom, who had been weighed down by him, gained strength at once. It is said that they waged a war of liberation.
And the silver star guild that won the war began to accept new guild members and distribute the resources of the ruins in order not to repeat the atrocities of the bastard.
What a heartwarming story it was.
‘It’s not a complete herbivore.’
It would be natural.
I looked out the window.
Crystals tens of meters tall towered over the low plains.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
It was evening and Amkena logged on.
[Loading is complete.]
[TOUCH ! (Selection)]
As soon as I entered the main screen, a selection window appeared along with the dispatch completion window.
[Titling!]
[Master dispatch is over.]
[Do you want to check the result?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
A panoramic view of the island appeared on Amkena’s screen.
It was a ruins field.
Of course, the heroes belonging to the Eunbyeol Guild are peacefully gathering resources there.
Cut down rare trees, hunt animals, and mine ore.
Amkena watched the scene blankly for a while.
[You can issue an attack order to the master heroes.]
[The heroes will immediately start occupying the ruins! Do you want to order an attack?]
[Yes / No (optional)]
Ha.
I knew it.
Amkenna declined the attack.
If they had a PVP tendency in the first place, they would have tried looting immediately.
[The master unverified channel chat has been confirmed.]
[Are you sure you want to confirm?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
This time, the chat connection came.
The screen immediately changed.
[Channel 75-219]
Saechorom] Are you Amkenna?
Saechorom] My name is Saechorom, the master of Eunbyeol Guild *^^*
Saechorom] You brought heroes to our ruins. Do you need any resources?
Amkena tapped the virtual keyboard.
Required for mission aggression.
New Chorom] I confirmed that this is a sector. With just a few conditions confirmed, we can give it away!
Saechorom] If you’re aiming for an attack, you’ll go to the 50th floor soon. It’s okay to stay and go, so I’d like you to join the guild. I like chatting with everyone. *^^*
Saechorom] If you do this, I’ll give it to you!
‘Is this a new Hogu?’
Saechorom] Usually PVP users attack right away, but Amkena-sama stayed still. I’ve confirmed that it’s an attack wave! I like my eyesight! ]_[
Amkena tapped the keyboard again.
It does not require a small amount of resources.
It needs a lot.
Amkena added four legs to it.
If you concede, I will definitely pay you back after clearing the 50th floor.
Saechorom] The amount is a bit large. ㅠ.ㅠ
Saechorom] It’s okay! I’ll talk to the guild members once. Everyone is greedy and kind.
Saechorom] However, there are people who have made reservations in advance! I think it’s possible when it’s Amkena’s turn!
[‘Saechorom’, the master of the ‘Eunbyeol’ guild, has invited you to the guild! Do you accept?]
[Tips/ If you find users with a similar disposition and join a guild, you’ll have more fun playing, right?]
Things are going easily.
If they concede as much as necessary, there is no need to fight.
[Yes (selection) / No]
Amkena made a decision after thinking about it for a while.
[A light user’s paradise full of healing and floral scent!]
[Welcome to Eunbyul!]
[Currently connected – 17 people]
[Guild items have been added to the tab.]
[You can search the guild status by clicking the icon .]
[Guild chatting is now available.]
[Use the help for more detailed features.]
Amkena has joined.
To the Silver Star Guild.
[Guild Channel]
Amkena] Hello! I am a temporary guild member, but please take good care of me.
Saechorom] This is the new Amkena! I would be grateful if everyone welcomed me~
Nurha] Nice to meet you!
Kitty doggie] From room to room~ Take care of me~
BlueRose] Welcome.
If you’ve come this far, I don’t think you need to look any further.
I cleared the chat screen in front of my eyes and drank my tea.
“Oh, this…”
Jenna and Belquist stare into the air.
Those guys seem to be in a bit of a situation.
I’ve been steadily raising my research level.
rattle.
The door of the inn opened and Adilang entered.
He had a smile on his face.
“Welcome to the family, everyone!”
“…”
“It’s still a little awkward. But, well, if you stay longer…”
“I can’t stay long.”
“I see. Well, it’s okay! Please be comfortable.”
Adilan set down three sandwiches and a tray of milk in front of us, greeted us, and disappeared.
It seems that he served himself a meal.
Jenna looked back and forth between me and Belquist.
“You don’t have to fight… it’s okay, right?”
“We’ll have to wait and see. How do we know if they’ll come up with a surprise attack?”
“If you’re going to attack, wouldn’t you have done it already? I think it’s okay to believe it. There aren’t only bad people in the world.”
“Family. That’s not even funny.”
Belquist snorted.
I sighed.
“As you all know, it seems that the Master made a decision.”
“You mean compromise?”
“Ah, it’s not compromise, it’s called good deeds! You don’t have to kill unnecessarily.”
“It should be better if we don’t fight. Well, since we need time, we can wait and take it.”
According to the chat between Amkena and Saechorom, there seems to be an order in the distribution of items in the ruins.
Amkena, of course, came last, so she was last. The resources collected from the ruins are restored every few days, so you will have to wait at least a month in real time.
a month of waiting.
‘Is that your choice?’
I decided not to give any opinion.
Adylan offered to provide accommodation for us.
In the meantime, it would be perfect to spend time training outside the ruins.
No matter how much resource concession is received, it will be insufficient.
If you want to increase the number of heroes to 100 units and produce airships, you will have to wipe out the entire resource of the ruins.
It looks like you’re struggling on the 50th floor.
“…”
The next morning.
I was drinking tea on the first floor of the villa.
Outside the window, the heroes were gathering.
‘I don’t need that.’
These are materials that can be obtained from daily dungeons.
Important rare items could only be obtained from the crystal over there.
slurp.
I emptied the green tea halfway and looked ahead.
Adilang at the counter was having an interview with a middle-aged man.
“It’s our turn this time. I’d appreciate it if you could check the ledger.”
“Yes, confirmed.”
rattle!
The door slammed open and someone came in.
“Adil!”
It was a light-brown woman with blue ponytails.
A sword hung from the waist of the well-proportioned body.
“We need to make some concessions this time.”
A group of men armed with weapons followed.
“What? You guys got it the other day too!”
“I need a master, what should I do?”
“Look, we’ve been waiting for three months…!”
“Be quiet for a second.”
The woman raised her arm on the counter.
“You know. Our ‘Silver Star Vigilante’ is here to keep the peace. What if we become weak and the enemy invades? 24 Masters, no, 25 now? We shouldn’t let them sit on the streets. Isn’t that right, Power? Uncle?”
“That’s…”
“Your turn will come soon. You only need to yield once.”
“…Okay.”
The middle-aged man lowered his head.
“Then it’s been conceded. Let’s make it our turn this time. Bang the stamp on the ledger, you know?”
“You…”
“I bet you haven’t forgotten where the most blood was shed during the War of Liberation, right? In this man’s neighborhood, they were sucking their fingers behind us while we were fighting with blood. But now… ”
The woman’s lips twitched slightly.
I didn’t say it out loud, but I could tell.
‘helminth.’
I emptied the teacup clean.
The middle-aged man’s shoulders were down.
“You know… we haven’t done anything… wait your turn.”
The man left the villa.
The woman put on a fishy smile and handed Adilang the ledger with the details written on it before squinting her eyes.
“Then next time!”
The woman who was about to leave the door turned to the one sitting at the table.
“Oh, that man…”
“This is the new family you mentioned yesterday.”
“Family is a piece of shit.”
“Have some manners!”
“Hmph. I’m not really interested. Anyway… Huh?”
The woman looked at me and blinked.
“I think I saw that man somewhere. It was a dimensional city… Well, I must have seen it wrong.”
The woman and her companions rushed out of the villa.
Adylan looked back at me with a bitter expression.
“I’m sorry. I showed you an ugly look. It wasn’t like that before…”
“I guess it’s changed.”
“Yes. But without them, we can’t protect this ruin. They are grateful people.”
‘They’re thankful people.’
I chuckled.
yeah it can’t go well
Why did the communist society collapse?
