The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 119
Episode 119:
Breaking away
Lapishan asked me to wait for a moment and left.
I scanned the system messages that appeared before my eyes.
[The unexpected event ‘Commander Showdown’ has ended.]
[Complete success rewards will be given!]
When the event ended, the scheduled rewards were given immediately.
But the compensation was the problem.
Well, I thought it would give you at most 1 stat point.
“Uh…”
I was given a reward that far exceeded my expectations.
[I have acquired a new title, ‘Better Brother Than Older Brother’!]
First of all, in the case of the title, there was no explanation, so it was difficult to fully feel the effect, but…
‘Is this okay?’
The next one was so large that it was quite embarrassing even for someone who has received unexpected compensation several times.
[Endurance increased by 1!]
[Intellect increased by 2!]
[Charisma increased by 2!]
“….”
In total, the stat points amounted to a whopping 5 points.
Although it was a fixed value that I couldn’t distribute it as I wanted.
‘If you just look at the numbers, it’s the same as raising your level by 5, right?’
This was too much of a reward.
‘It’s not even a scenario quest, but the event rewards are this high?’
That was strange.
I was definitely suspecting that there must be a reason.
But the next moment.
“…uh?”
My thoughts had no choice but to flow into a completely different direction.
[The identity of the unknown reward is revealed.]
The last reward that was previously simply marked as ‘unknown.’
That was revealed right away.
[An important turning point ‘Heir to the Empire’ has been discovered.]
“What is this!”
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at the system message.
‘This was a critical turning point?’
A turning point was literally a crossroads in the scenario the player was performing.
A point of choice where the entire story of the game changes depending on the player’s choice.
This wasn’t an item that I could get my hands on right away, but it was an element that could have an impact on the various scenarios and quests I was working on at once.
It was a very important point that did not appear several times throughout the entire game.
‘Why is this here?’
I couldn’t help but be troubled by the completely different development from the original.
Of course, there have been quite a few elements that are different from the original game so far.
This was the first time I was as embarrassed as I am now.
‘what? Even in the original work, it was a rare occurrence for the player to enthrone Lapishan as emperor, right?
However, it was just treated as one of the minor choices and was not at all seen as a major turning point like it is now.
‘…But why is this treated as a critical turning point for me?’
It was a point that was difficult to understand within the framework of the game.
However, if there is one point of doubt.
‘From the perspective of Third Prince Gilroshan, not the player, this can be said to be a very big turning point.’
Since he rebelled against his fearsome father, Emperor Bareshan, and set out to overthrow the structure of the imperial family…
‘It must be a huge turning point.’
Did the decision fall on Gilroshan’s behalf as I suspected?
It was something unknown.
Anyway, it was a change I couldn’t refuse, and there was no need for it.
When a major turning point occurs like this…
‘Isn’t there something that will change for me right away?’
Sure enough, a new system message suddenly appeared.
[The force scenario ‘War Search Party’ is updated.]
[Check the updated information.]
I read it with a pounding heart.
“…!”
I ended up opening my mouth wide.
< War Search Party >
[Force Scenario] Your search party searching for the spark of war came into contact with the second prince of the empire and it began to slowly influence the entire continent.
Prepare for war by attracting more people from all over the continent.
[Your search party ‘Everlast’ is upgraded to level 2.]
‘This is how it works out.’
In fact, there was almost no progress in the war search party scenario.
So, the clan’s capacity could not be increased yet and Hael could not be included.
Since the turning point itself was related to the outbreak of war, it was recognized as a clue to the entire scenario.
‘You’re just eating up updates.’
Of course, it was such a welcome event that we welcomed it with open arms.
[A new feature will be added to your search party ‘Everlast’.]
[You will be able to add 2 search party members and secure new allies from all over the continent to join your cause.]
This adds 2 NPCs to the clan. I was able to do it.
‘Where should I add it right away?’
I immediately tried to add Hael and Senis to my clan.
‘Add two Hael Senis Edrin to the clan.’
Of course, not everything went my way.
[Currently, we cannot form a search party due to insufficient intimacy with ‘Senis Edrin.’]
“Oh no.”
Perhaps because we spent less time together, Senis’ intimacy with me was not ‘maximum’.
Because of that, I couldn’t include it in the clan right now.
‘Then there’s nothing we can do.’
For now, I’ll wait until intimacy builds up and add it later.
Instead, Hael was added right away.
[From now on, ‘Hael’ will participate as a member of the war search party.]
[There is currently one vacant position.]
As a result of all the efforts made, Hael joined my clan without difficulty.
While we’re at it, let’s use communication magic.
-Hael, can you hear my voice?
-Huh? Are you Gilroshan?
-Yes, it’s me. You learn it quickly, right? From now on, you can communicate with me like this.
-yes! All right!
Then it was time to try out the newly added features.
‘Alliance member function’.
This was not a list that I added by hand, but a kind of relationship that was created on its own.
‘At first glance, it may not seem like much, but…’
As you progress further through the game, you will soon become more aware of it.
‘This is a really useful feature.’
[Alliance member information status]
– Yves Rottweiler: 98.1
– Varmillo Dimark: 75.3
– Rafishan Elo de Balt: 61.5
– Elon Reut: 55.0
…
Basically, this was a list of NPCs that were friendly to me.
‘And they are high-ranking NPCs who can provide me with useful information.’
More than anything else, the score next to this name was important.
This was a measure called ‘ally member score’ calculated by adding up my relationship and information power.
This score was related to intimacy and was also a measure of how much the NPC would sympathize with me.
In other words, it means value as an alliance member.
‘This is originally a perfect score of 100, but Eve has already scored 98…’ This
meant that even if I immediately set out to turn the continent into a sea of fire, Eve would provide the necessary information and follow my will.
It’s kind of touching, isn’t it?
If he succeeded in establishing himself as the ruler of the Duchy of Wyler, I would have gained a truly great ally.
And the funny thing was that the two people who tried to kill me right after I fell into this world had the highest alliance member scores.
I don’t know if they feel sorry for me or if they’ve already done all the shopping…
‘They’re funny guys.’
The next interesting thing was Lapishan’s alliance member scores.
’61 points?’
Why is it so high?
Honestly, this score was a little surprising.
Second Prince Lapishan was someone who had just been persuaded by me.
He was also a member of the imperial family who treated Gilroshan terribly in the first place.
‘But it’s already 61 points?’
Are you saying you liked my story that much?
‘No, how badly did this bastard want to become emperor?’
If not….
‘Surely there’s something else I don’t know?’
Is there a hidden history between the two brothers?
“….”
It was something I didn’t know at the moment.
‘Gillard Gordin has 1 point, but Montana Walt has 11 points?’
This was also a pretty funny situation.
In fact, the most shocking score among these was Erek Kaid’s 42 points.
‘But I thought I’d get at least 50 points!’
A score of around 40 meant a relationship that could be broken at any time if a reasonable compensation was not paid.
In other words, Vice President Kaid did as I asked, but deep inside he had the intention of quitting at any time.
The overwhelming sense of betrayal made me want to run to the old man and rip out all his hair.
‘You ungrateful old man…’
I sighed.
Well, it was something that could not be helped.
Deep down, it was something I had a bit of intuition about.
That’s why I also didn’t step deep into the revolutionary army.
‘In the end, I am not an agent of the revolutionary army, but the prince of the empire.’
Therefore, from Vice President Kaid’s perspective, he could not completely trust me.
The distrust of the entire camp was proven through the scores.
I was acting as if I were an NPC in the revolutionary camp, but there was no guarantee how long that would last.
So you have to accept it.
There will come a day when we will turn our backs on the revolutionary army.
And that’s not because of my will, but because of the will of the other side.
‘I guess I should be sufficiently prepared.’
I don’t know exactly when it will be time to split from the revolutionary army, but I had no intention of getting stabbed in the back.
Anyway, I was able to utilize the newly acquired alliance member system in this way.
These were all important NPCs with the authority to start or prevent war at the national level.
Now that we can examine that relationship by converting it into data.
‘Should I say that the sudden tingling in the back of my head no longer occurs?’
Just as I found out that Erek Kaid’s alliance member scores were a little different than I thought.
If someone changes their opinion about me, it will be immediately revealed through the system.
So, I could have turned around and delivered a punch before I got hit in the back.
‘I only defeated Lapishan, but I reaped a lot of unexpected harvests.’
This was because winning the war of words earlier and attracting the second prince was recognized as a major turning point.
If you think about it, this flow was created by that quest.
Destiny Codex Fate Quest.
‘Everyone has a good plan.’
I haven’t even completed this quest yet, but the codex is already giving me tremendous benefits and giving me direction.
So I was caught up in a strange feeling.
‘Are you really telling me what to do here?’
What I have to do in this world.
That was naturally in line with the reason why I fell into this “God-forsaken world.”
That means that you can reach it if you follow the Destiny Codex.
What is the purpose of dropping me here?…
‘And what on earth is my destiny?’
It will be revealed someday.
* * *
As promised, the Imperial Army’s activities were halted for 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the revolutionary army was scheduled to complete Operation Descent.
“…Gilroshan.”
And Lapishan appeared holding a large glass full of water.
“Let’s talk now.”
A sharp energy was flashing in his bright red eyes.
“Oh, just in case, I’ve just completely wiped out this area. “If it leaks out, you could be accused of treason.”
I chuckled.
“Yeah, that’s definitely true. “It would be very bad for a father to rule his sons with treason.”
“Of course, that shouldn’t happen. But…”
Lapishan emptied his glass of water in one gulp and set it down on the table.
He twisted his lips and spoke secretly.
“But my honest feelings are that, if possible, I would like to commit treason and take over that throne.”
I want to become an emperor.
Those were very greedy-sounding words, but the second prince’s eyes were unexpectedly very calm and cool-headed.
He did not want to become emperor for his own sake.
Rather, he was aiming for the throne for the sake of everything else.
“So tell me now. I understand that Brother Lukashan may have a problem. So how can that be used to compete for the crown prince? “You’re not saying to launch a reckless political offensive, are you?”
“Of course not.”
I slowly began to unravel the story I had in mind in advance.
“…!”
Rafishan’s eyes began to flutter again as he listened to my story.
There was absolutely no need for snout techniques here and now.
All that was needed was to talk plainly about the future.
‘The process of the empire’s alliance being divided and the existing continental order being reorganized.’
In order for Lapishan to ascend to the throne, he must bridge the gap.
“How are you? It’s so easy, isn’t it?”
