Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 64
# 64
64. Value and worthlessness (2)
I woke up early in the morning, finished a meal prepared by Chloe, and went to the training center.
There was no repeating the same schedule as usual and going to the return dungeon late in the evening. Even in the daily dungeon, which was a daily routine, the members of the first party were excluded.
After clearing the 15th floor, Amkena seemed to be paying attention to the other side rather than us. The main thing I did was foster sub-party and collect resources.
On the way to the restaurant for lunch after morning training.
I found a group of heroes coming out of the rift of time and space. It was a party that had just completed the dungeon for the day. It is mixed with Enoch, the carpenter. Enoch’s expression was frowned upon. I grabbed Enoch, who was about to go into the storeroom away from the crowd.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m not working.”
said Enoch in an emotionless voice.
“I threw a few twigs and played around in the forest. Thanks to that, I suffered a lot by myself.”
Enoch flirted and glared at the people entering the inn, then sighed.
It was not uncommon for Enoch, who had few emotional changes, to express himself like this.
“Things have changed a lot. At that time, people like that had no choice but to die. Hasn’t the world improved?”
“is it.”
“Good job.”
Enoch went into the storeroom. It seemed to be transporting wood from the warehouse to the equipment workshop. A capable carpenter, he was busy without leaks.
I saw the sky
Amkena was online. You should have known that the daily dungeon or training performance was not the same as before. Operational efficiency was deteriorating rapidly.
‘Hmm.’
There were two ways.
The first is through mass synthesis. In that case, almost all second-generation heroes would be sacrificed. However, work or training efficiency increases. I can’t help it if I don’t want to die.
This method has a number of disadvantages.
If you overuse synthesis, the stress level in the waiting room will be extremely high. Therefore, most of the masters were on the side of adjusting the stress level while synthesizing at an appropriate level.
The second is to give the hero a motive other than fear.
‘You’ll know when you see it.’
Amkena will not stand by like this.
Whether it was the first or the second, the decision was to be made.
I went into the inn’s dining room.
The lunch menu was chicken soup.
and that evening.
While he was shaping his sword at the training center, the door to the magic hall opened and Iolka came out.
Iolka took a break from training, but her research didn’t stop. It seemed that I had successfully completed today’s research.
Since I raised my Hero Responsiveness, I have been steadily researching without skipping, so I have accumulated quite a few points.
Amkena immediately popped up the research status window.
[Research!]
[Current development is as above.]
[1. Hero Reactivity Research (Lv.1)]
[2. Facility scalability research (Lv.0)]
[3. Intensive dungeon research (Lv. 0)]
The cursor moved and I chose number 2.
[You have selected ‘Facility Scalability Study’.]
[Are you sure you want to upgrade? 150 research points are consumed.]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[Tee-ring!]
[Research ‘Facility Expandability’ has reached
Lv
. It can be changed.]
[The facility customization function will be opened.]
[Tips/Facility customization is a function that changes the structure of a facility according to the master’s taste. Decorate and change it into a master’s own waiting room!]
Unlike the hero’s reaction, there were no noticeable effects.
A message announcing the opening of the function was only displayed modestly.
Facility customization.
It is a system that can reorganize the structure of a facility. Dozens of construction tools are provided, and complex facilities can be implemented according to the master’s operation.
I drank the water bottle.
A study of the facility was completed. It seemed like they were about to start reorganizing the waiting room.
It’s been a long time since we expanded the waiting room, and the number of heroes has increased. It was a reasonable choice.
When I got up from my seat, Aaron, who had finished sparring with Edith, approached me.
After returning from the 15th floor, Aaron was training from morning to night. His whole body was drenched in sweat.
“Brother, please.”
“With that body? You couldn’t last even a minute.”
“I’m fine.”
“Do you think it’s too much to count?”
“But…”
I put the longsword leaning against the wall on my belt.
In the early evening before midnight, the camp is empty except for the members of the 1st and 2nd parties. The 3rd party was out in battle.
“It’s still early. Where are you going?”
Jenna came out of the shooting range and started talking.
“I’m not going. I was called.”
“Yes? What…”
[Everyone gather in the plaza!]
Issel’s loud voice echoed throughout the entire waiting room.
I shrugged.
“Like this.”
“How did you predict this?”
“Anyway, it’s a set. Training stops. Organize what you’ve been doing.”
After returning the tools to the display case, we went out into the plaza.
Dozens of people were buzzing in the square. It was a number that made the square feel narrow. Amkena used to draw at least once a day. It was all free draw.
Jenna looked up and murmured.
“This is the first time Master has called everyone.”
“Isn’t that what you’re trying to synthesize?”
Edith’s expression changed to worry.
I said with a smile.
“All but 10 will be synthesized.”
“Isn’t there a bit too many?”
“I can pull it out again, but what’s the problem?”
“Sacrificing everything…”
“I guess so.”
I looked around at the heroes gathered in the square.
Auxiliary personnel including Chloe and Enoch. Combat personnel combined with me and Jenna Edith. And useless things that are neither this nor that. The third servants averted their gaze as soon as they made eye contact with me.
[Did everyone gather? Is there anyone else missing except for the kids who went to the dungeon? I know I’ll get scolded if I don’t come to sleep!]
“I’m all here.”
Chloe said.
Issel nodded in satisfaction and said.
[I’m going to do a major construction from now on. So, you guys are stuck in the warehouse and don’t come out. Because if you get caught up in it, it might disappear. Okay?]
“Construction… That’s what you did last time!”
Jenna’s eyes lit up.
“Well, the number of people has increased. It’s time for construction. How will it change?”
“Construction?”
“I don’t know about my older sister because she’s late. There are times when the master makes facilities in the waiting room. This time, I hope there’s a bathhouse with hot water.”
Answering Edith’s question, Jenna smiled.
[They go into the warehouse here. Execute!]
The warehouse door opened with a bang.
People lined up in the warehouse. When I finally entered, the door was closed. It was cold and dark inside the warehouse. People whispered with anxious faces. Aaron asked me.
“What do you think will happen, brother?”
“Well, it’s clear that things aren’t going as expected.”
“As expected?”
“I know when I see it.”
There were several timings to raise the level of the facility.
But Amkena waited until the scalability study was finished before starting the upgrade.
The intention was clear.
There were also enough gems to build the facility.
Amkena hadn’t played a paid lottery since the last billing.
A message guiding architecture came to mind.
[Build the facility. Please touch the type of facility you want.]
[You have selected ‘Accommodation Lv.3’. Do you want to expand the building?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[The lodging has reached level 3. The hero retention limit is increasing.]
Starting with the accommodation, the construction completion window continued one after another.
[You have selected ‘Bathhouse’, an annex of ‘Accommodation’. Do you want to build it?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[The ‘rest room’ in the annex of the ‘accommodation’…]
[The ‘restaurant’ in the annex of the ‘accommodation’…]
[‘Training Center Lv.3 ‘…]
Kurrrr.
An unexpected vibration shook the waiting room.
People looked around with anxious eyes.
[Bathroom completed! The satisfaction level of the heroes is improved.]
[The resting room is complete! The fatigue of the heroes will be much lighter.]
[The restaurant has reached level 2! Quality meals will be provided to the hero.]
[The training center has reached level 3! Hero training efficiency increases!]
[Great!]
[Square evolves to Lv.3 as the facility grows!]
[Excellent!]
[Waiting room evolves to level 2! The number of floors increases. You will be able to install more facilities.]
Amkena did not stop operating.
Following the facility window, the customization window opened.
[Change the structure of the facility.]
[External map data can be imported.]
Jenna was explaining the current phenomenon to the people.
“You know the Master? He’s building a new building for us. We also lived in a shabby place at first.”
“You mean the facilities are getting better?”
“You can think of it that way.”
“Good! The bed was uncomfortable.”
“Can I try a new dish?”
All of a sudden, people are chatting with each other.
There was a dark anticipation on his face.
[Construction over! You can come out of the warehouse.]
The door to the plaza opened.
People poured out as if they had been waiting.
“Ohhh, really! The building has changed!”
Someone admired with a face full of colors.
I slowly walked out from the back of the group.
‘There’s a second floor.’
The structure of the plaza is not much different from the previous one, but there is a high staircase going upwards in the corner. Beyond the stairs was a transparent ceiling. The sky was visible through the ceiling of the first floor and the floor of the second floor as it was.
“Bathroom! Bathhouse!”
“that’s interesting.”
Jenna ran towards the dorm. Edith muttered and followed him.
There was a small procession leading from the warehouse to the inn.
As the dorm became level 3, it should have been changed to the 2nd floor. The same goes for training camp.
In other words, the entire waiting room was changed from the first floor to the second floor structure.
1st floor accommodation.
People’s faces show bewilderment instead of joy.
Edith murmured.
“Don’t you think it’s getting worse somehow?”
“Right.”
The fireplace is gone. The sofa is also gone. All ornaments such as carpets and picture frames are gone. There were only a few chairs in the lobby that looked like they would break if you sat on them.
“How is this!”
“You weren’t like this last time?”
Jenna muttered with a puzzled face.
A young woman walked out of the hallway and said.
“The beds are gone. They don’t even grow on the floor!”
“No, it can’t be…”
“It can’t be.”
I stepped forward.
Everyone’s eyes were focused. I said, tapping the stairs built in the corner of the lobby with my foot.
“Can’t you see the stairs? You can just go up.”
“Perhaps!”
Jenna climbed up the stairs with twinkling eyes.
Finally, people followed her as if they understood.
The second floor perfectly lived up to their expectations.
Soft carpet and fireplace. A soft sofa. The room had a bed with high-quality sheets, and the bathroom was filled with warm and clean water. People were happy and started discussing where to stay. Of course, no one said they would stay on the first floor
.
[Why are you talking nonsense?]
“You’re talking nonsense…”
[It’s not over yet. Everyone gather in the plaza on the 2nd floor
! Everyone gathered in the square.
The basic structure was similar, but from the 2nd floor you could look down on the square on the 1st floor.
[Set the details of the facility.]
[You have selected the accommodation. The annex building is as follows.]
[Restaurant Lv. 2 Bathhouse Lv.1 Lounge Lv.1]
[Restaurant Lv.2]
[Manager in charge: ‘Chloe ( )’ ‘Amarin ()’]
[Possible food types: meat, potato, fruit….]
Amkena from one side of the field of view The control panel of the is moving in a dizzying manner.
People muttered as if they thought something was strange.
Edith furrowed her eyebrows.
“I don’t understand Master’s intentions.”
I smiled.
What Amkena is doing is simple.
Create a hierarchy in the waiting room there was
