The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 232
Episode 232 Artificial Spirit
Mobile Fortress Vimana.
It is a huge fortress that our unit uses as its first base.
It wasn’t just about having huge and high walls.
The real key is the various facilities that can be built within it.
‘Because dishes made in the [restaurant] have a huge bonus compared to dishes made in the field.’
That’s not all.
Production workers continue to produce equipment near the [production district], where production buildings are gathered.
Combat workers hone their skills at places such as [training centers], as per their combat positions.
The result of installing and leveling up all the facilities that can be built in the fortress.
Our unit’s strength and growth rate have become difficult to compare to before.
Moreover, thanks to the provision of combat facilities such as [barracks] and [batteries].
In most cases, it was possible to obtain overwhelming defense power to the extent that there were no soldiers in the fortress.
on the other way.
What if someone tells our troops to attack this fortress?
well.
‘Wouldn’t that be a bit… impossible?’
I almost started thinking like this.
‘Of all the items our unit has, everyone would probably pick this fortress as the most morale item.’
but.
Even though it is such a vimana, there is one thing.
Should I call it dissatisfaction?…
There was one thing that made all the unit members wonder.
“It clearly says this is a mobile fortress.”
“…What do you mean by maneuver?”
The name is ‘Mobile Fortress’.
itself.
‘For a thing with a name like that… there’s no sign of it moving at all.’
Of course, whether it moves or not.
It’s true that it’s an incredibly powerful base.
I was a little surprised, but there was no time to feel dissatisfied.
just now.
[Reward upon completion]
[1. Mobile Fortress Vimana Lv.3]
[2. Facility – Activation of mobility device]
“Huh….”
There is a clue that can solve the mobility part.
Now it has been given to me.
* * *
“Kwaaaak….”
“The legs were made with difficulty…!”
“Our time and effort… is falling apart…!”
Let’s head to the outskirts of Vimana.
Sure enough, the screams of engineers can be heard from afar.
When it was first built, it was built so that it could only be passed through.
After that, engineers were deployed in earnest.
They built a fairly strong and proper bridge that even a tank could pass through.
‘hmm. It was a mess.’
The legs became swollen as the vimana reached level 2.
It was horribly destroyed.
“…what can I do?”
“yes? Sergeant Shin. “What is that?”
It’s a pity that the bridge was shattered.
It is not right to have regrets about a leg that has already been broken.
“Can you make it again?”
“….”
I have to make it again.
“If possible, let’s build it stronger than last time. “So that we can endure even if the fortress suddenly grows larger.”
“A bridge that can withstand the growth of the fortress….”
“How do you build something like that?”
“huh? “You have to think about that.”
“….”
The guys stared at my face, speechless.
but.
“Whoa, let’s all go to work….”
“Aren’t you sad, Corporal Lee Gong-woo?”
“Life as an engineer is essentially about surviving with evil and tenacity…!”
No matter what.
Those soldiers are overflowing with ability.
‘It’s because he’s rarely active in battle, but when it comes to ability, he’s at a level that can’t be compared to most other combat positions.’
These guys are one of the core strengths of our unit.
If it’s the engineers, they’ll have to think about it somehow.
I believed that it would build a bridge that would be able to withstand even if the same thing happened again.
‘Anyway’
let’s approach the fortress wall and look down.
The fortress appeared to be enormously large.
Building a bridge connecting to the mainland was a considerable undertaking.
That’s because the distance between the ground and the fortress was so long.
In the end, what was possible was the closest distance to the ground.
It was at the level of building a couple of bridges there.
“You’re so close.”
A fortress located in the space between the city and the islands.
As a result, the fortress suddenly grew larger.
The distance from land has also become considerably closer.
If you level up once more here and become bigger.
So much so that I wondered if it might collide with those islands.
“It seemed a little smaller than what I saw in the [Shadow Veil].”
When you first enter the fortress.
I remember thinking that it was a little smaller than what I saw in [Shadow Curtain].
‘I never thought the size would increase as the level goes up.’
If level 2 is this big, how big will it be when it reaches level 3?
I couldn’t even guess.
‘Anyway…’
The important thing is.
As a result of the vimana reaching level 2.
The point is that many things have changed.
First of all….
[Restaurant]
[Lv.5/Lv.10]
‘The facility level limit has been raised to 10.’
Of course, I thought the maximum level for all facilities was 5.
There is room for further development there.
‘The performance of those facilities… can be improved here?’
This was a very significant change.
In the case of [Barracks], a facility that summons mercenary soldiers, the maximum summon value is determined by the level.
[Barracks Lv.5]
[Troop: 250/250]
The number of troops that can be summoned from a level 5 barracks is 250.
The maximum number of summoned entities increases by 50 per level.
The same goes for other facilities.
Restaurants, blacksmith shops, etc.
As the level of powerful facilities increases, it means that the power of the legion becomes much more powerful.
‘Crazy scam….’
Upgrading will take time and points.
Still, it was a huge deal.
“If you say that the facilities become stronger as the level goes up, hmm.”
Our corps relies heavily on those facilities.
You will need to level up your fortress as quickly as possible.
and.
That’s the way.
[A special quest will be granted!]
[Special quest: Grow the fortress!]
[Reward upon completion]
[1. Mobile Fortress Vimana Lv.3]
[2. Facility – Mobile device activation]
It was already given.
“You just have to complete this quest, right?”
One thing that can be said to be fortunate is that
It didn’t seem difficult to meet half of the conditions.
No, what is not difficult?
[Condition 1 – All Vimana facilities must reach level 10. (0/1)]
[Condition 2 – Vimana’s ruling power must have sufficient reputation and influence. (16842583/10000000) (Completed)]
[Condition 3 – Vimana’s operational artificial intelligence must be activated. (0/1)]
[Condition 4 – Vimana’s operational magic must be met. (3/10000000)]
“One has already been completed?”
Sufficient fame and influence.
The condition is that as much as 10 million must be secured.
It had already been completed.
…hmm.
What can I say?
“this. “I don’t think it’s a shame that can be broken this easily…?”
If you are given a quest like this in the game.
The most difficult thing is [famous work].
While other conditions end when something is achieved.
The conditions for that kind of fame and influence often required a lot of hard work.
In fact, this is the biggest cause of delayed quest completion.
Why have those conditions already been fulfilled?
That’s not enough.
Is this an absurd figure that is 1.6 times the target?
There was nothing left to guess.
“I guess it’s because of that radio broadcast.”
Recently, after recruiting foreign language skills among the unit members.
Radio broadcasts are also broadcast in English, Japanese, and Chinese.
However, I think it would be difficult for it to spread overseas.
It was being sent in several languages, even for foreigners in the country.
At least most survivors in Korea are probably aware of the existence of that radio.
He must be aware of the existence of our army.
‘The result was enormous fame and influence.’
Those conditions were probably very difficult.
It would have been resolved right away.
I clenched my fists and muttered.
“Nice Minjae hyung…!”
An idea I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
It’s all thanks to Minjae hyung who suggested it.
‘Minjae’s favorite thing was definitely coffee.’
I guess we should at least give them a special meal later.
“Condition number 1… I think it can be solved if you invest enough time.”
It’s just about building facilities and raising the level.
There are still quite a few capture points left, so there is no problem.
As the level increases, the time required to upgrade facilities increases, so we are all now at level 5.
This is a figure that would have been achieved a long time ago if the upgrade speed could have been shortened like in previous mobile games.
‘At the current pace… I think we can probably complete it by the end of winter.’
the problem is.
Conditions 3 and 4.
“Activating artificial intelligence… Satisfy your horsepower.”
What should I do?
I couldn’t even guess.
[Fortress Management Menu]
Enter the management menu.
As I started to check out the changes little by little.
“uh.”
[Facility] There was
[Artificial Spirit – Vimana]
.
There is a way to solve it.
* * *
The level of the vimana rises.
The space expanded rapidly.
And in that expanded area.
[Vacant lot]
[Please select the desired facility.]
A place where new facilities can be built.
Vacant lots were established.
‘As the level increases, facilities that can be built have been added.’
Places to build those facilities would have been provided.
‘There are many new buildings that look useful.’
What concerns me right now.
It wasn’t that way.
[Facility]
[Artificial Spirit – Vimana]
“Hmm.”
A facility called Artificial Spirit.
Unlike other buildings, the installation location was not an empty lot.
The temple stands tall in the center of the vimana.
The very center of the vimana located at the top.
To be installed in the command and control room.
Guided facilities.
‘It’s an artificial spirit.’
If other people hear it, this is a name that they will be curious about.
I had one guess.
Battle with Ariella.
When this vimana was first summoned from within her veil of shadow.
The voice that came from there.
[We begin autonomous situation assessment of the fortress.]
Let me face a crisis.
Of course, these days, we have done something called ‘autonomous situational judgment’.
When there seemed to be no answer, I asked about the location of the restaurant.
He even kindly informed me of the location, as if it were some kind of navigation system.
On the other hand.
Today’s vimanas have nothing like that.
‘Except for the fraudulent performance of the facilities, it looks like an ordinary fortress.’
actually.
In the meantime, I was a little curious about the reason.
“That might be this guy.”
AI that makes autonomous decisions.
If you say it hasn’t been made yet.
I understand.
anyway.
It’s also suggested in the quest anyway.
The more facilities there are, the better.
[Artificial spirit – making a vimana.]
I did not hesitate.
I ordered the production of that artificial spirit.
[Please designate a worker.]
[2 spirit priests – (0/2)]
[Please input the materials.]
[1 spirit jade – (0/1)]
“…Huh?”
however.
The message that appeared before my eyes was a little different from usual.
“Normally, it would have ended with one engineer being mobilized.”
Looking at the contents.
Unlike other buildings, it requires specific personnel and items.
Ah this.
This is a situation that often appears in games.
‘Luxury building.’
Unlike ordinary buildings.
This means that it is a high-end facility that requires special conditions.
“As it is difficult to make such facilities, the performance was also excellent.”
and.
What is required to create this artificial spirit.
2 spirit priests and 1 spirit orb.
“her.”
Let’s look at the conditions.
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
“Why are the conditions so strict?”
Two spiritists?
To begin with, the spiritist itself is a very rare profession.
According to our unit’s information, there is only one person in this area with that profession.
‘Besides, it’s a spirit jade.’
As spirits are rare, it must be a world where things related to spirits are rare.
You even ask for such a special item?
“If we were a sizable force, we would have to go through a lot of trouble to achieve this one thing.”
But…
there was one fortunate thing.
I’m not bragging, though.
‘It doesn’t seem like our guild is a significant force.’
After a while.
“My benefactor called me!”
Making a fuss.
A woman opening the door to the command and control room.
-Okay. Do native species have no concept of respect for elders? They told me to climb this tall tower…
And then.
A monster follows along.
and.
As for the materials needed.
[I came here.]
“Are you coming?”
In the shadows.
There is one object in the hand of the vampire that sticks out.
[Food Ingredient Identification (Enhanced)]
[Advanced Ingredient – Spirit Ok]
Past.
When you first exorcise the dark spirit.
An item obtained as a reward for an achievement.
“Okay… then. “All the supplies are ready.”
Why did they call themselves?
He said while looking at the two puzzled spirits.
“Let’s work.”
“yes?”
-Kruk?
[Artificial Spirit – Production of Vimanar begins!]
* * *
[Artificial Spirit – Production of Vimanar begins!]
“Uh… I have some strange information in my head.”
A system message appears.
The two spirit masters responded immediately.
-Okay… I feel unpleasant. Can I just follow this command that penetrates my head?
“okay.”
-Native species use strange magic. Phew. If it’s for the sake of the tribe, there’s nothing we can do.
Old shaman.
Borgin headed to the center of the command and control room.
I sat down on the floor and started drawing something.
“I will help too.”
-Indigenous species should be responsible for blocking interference from the spirit world over there.
“yes.”
Probably because Jeong Soo-ah is a junior who has limited time as a spiritist.
The production seemed to be led by Borgin.
Our unit has been busy lately for one reason or another.
I don’t have anything urgent to do right now.
I decided to watch the scene.
however.
“Hmm. “What is this?”
-That’s bizarre. It’s bizarre…
Jeong Soo-ah mutters as if it’s fascinating.
Borgin frowns, as if he is displeased rather than surprised.
“What’s going on?”
“ah. “That’s it…”
I looked closer and looked at it.
The two were drawing something that looked like a circular picture on the floor.
-This is Jin who guides the contract with the spirits.
“Oh…”
Is it like a magic circle?
A contract with a spirit.
‘It’s kind of cool.’
I am a chef by profession.
Unlike other wizard-type awakened people, this is an area I know absolutely nothing about.
It was a little interesting.
“Is there something strange about this?”
-Hmm, the content is a bit like that.
“What do you think the content is?”
-…Usually, the purpose of these contract groups is to connect and communicate between spirits and magicians. Some corrupted shamans may try to control spirits, but this is a rare example. And this.
Borgin frowned as if he didn’t want to talk any more.
It was Jeong Soo-ah who continued the explanation on his behalf.
“It’s neither rapport nor domination.”
“huh?”
“This spirit circle….”
Unlike Borjin.
Jeong Soo-ah looks at the picture they are drawing with curious eyes.
“It’s for creating spirits.”
Making it?
“…is that possible?”
“It’s been a while since I awakened as a spiritist, but this method is so amazing. “I never imagined something like this was possible.”
-Cruk! Creating a spirit is inherently impossible. Spirits just exist from the beginning!
Did you say that Borgin is older?
Unlike Borgin, who is a bit conservative in his attitude towards spirits.
Jeong Soo-ah feels like she can accept other things fluidly.
-How you treat that spirit is the spiritist’s tendency!
“But this is completely different from the elemental magic we know. “It’s like creating a spirit from scratch.”
-Normally, this would be an impossible method. It’s something I’ve never even imagined. This kind of imagination itself is extremely rude to the spirits. But…
“It’s possible if we do it this way.”
I don’t know.
Of course, Borjin is a seasoned shaman who has lived for a long time.
Even Jeong Soo-ah, a fairly high-level spirit person.
“Creating a spirit would not be an easy task… Definitely deciding on the purpose of the spirit, its personality and abilities, and even restrictions such as not being able to leave the fortress or resist the castle lord…”
Cold sweat running down his face.
They look astonished at the information coming into their heads.
“Actually, I’ve been curious about it since I first saw it… my benefactor.”
“huh?”
Jeong Soo-ah continues to draw magic circles.
I muttered while looking out the window.
“Who built this fortress?”
What great guys they were.
Was it possible to arrive at the idea of creating a spirit and attributing it to it?
The two spiritists.
I couldn’t help but be shocked.
