The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 30
Episode 30
Cards and Cards
“I couldn’t catch Chero, but I took this instead.”
After returning to the ‘Cold Sun’ bar, I handed out a document to Lucard.
Lucard’s eyes widened as he accepted it.
“…This!”
< Chero's Fraud Contract >
[Quest Item] This is a contract from a fraudster who deceives people with plausible terms. The name ‘Lucard’ is scrawled on the signature line.
My fingertips were trembling as I looked at the contract with my name written on it.
“Wow, that’s the original! It’s definitely the original! Hahaha!”
Lucard seemed to have already forgotten the trauma value mentioned when presenting the quest, and was enjoying it like a child.
Actually, the whole story of this quest was like this.
Chero drinking in the cold sun here.
He spoke casually to Lucard one day.
He threw a bait by saying that there was a large gold mine in the ‘Dark Mountains’ across the northern part of Auracus and that there was an opportunity to invest there.
‘So-called investment fraud.’
Of course, Lucard, who was confident in his information, was able to confirm that such a gold mine actually existed.
Because it was a real gold mine.
As Chero said, he decided it was a good opportunity.
So the contract was concluded.
However, the contract on which Lucard had written his name beautifully came back as a reminder.
As soon as the contract was signed, the gold mine ran out and was closed.
The reason was simple.
‘The vein of gold is over.’
The mine lost its value and became empty, and Lucard suddenly bought the abandoned mine at a high price. I
was in a situation where I was stuck and wasting my money…
‘I showed up and this is how I was able to collect the contract.’
Thanks to this, Lucard’s face couldn’t help but smile.
“Hmm.”
The bar owner, who belatedly adjusted his expression, began to scratch his head as he looked at me.
“Huh, really. This friend. When did I tell you to catch Chero and do something like this? “How are you supposed to get the credit from that guy?”
I tilted my head crookedly at the clearly visible flock.
“Oh really? If you don’t need it, just give it back. “Give it to me.”
“No, that’s not it!”
Lucard acted as the flagship and hid the contract.
I grinned at him.
“Then what about the promised reward?”
“Honestly, you should have caught that fraudster right in front of me!”
“Is that what it is?”
“…Seeing how hard you put in, I’ll give you some credit. “Thank you!”
[Quest ‘Card Cheater Chero’ is partially completed.]
[Quest completion reward is given.] [
Reward details]
– 10 gold coins
– 1000 experience points – (Failed to acquire)
Result of ‘Partially completed’
Retiree’s Artificial Sword quest.
As expected, I couldn’t get the retiree’s sword.
“Hmm! In my opinion, I should have met him in person and beaten him up!”
Lucard raised his eyebrows and muttered that before turning around and disappearing into the kitchen.
There is no longer any possibility of negotiation.
“hmm.”
Of course, I didn’t expect it either.
What if they had brought the impostor here intact as originally planned?
I would have been able to complete this quest perfectly.
Then, I would have been able to obtain a fairly useful sword in the beginning.
‘But it’s a retired person’s sword.’
In this quest, I found out that elements from the beta version are included in this world.
Among them, there was the ’13 Demon Temple’ mentioned by Chero.
In order to go there later, you definitely need to have intimacy with an NPC who knows the location.
‘It’s a very obvious choice.’
It was only natural that Chero and the retiree’s ceremonial sword were not exchanged.
And…
‘You might need a staff rather than a sword.’
All of the experience points needed to level up have been filled with quest rewards.
[Your level has risen!]
Finally level 10!
Now it was time to draw the second card.
It is not too late to think about what kind of weapon I need after drawing this card and completing optimal promotion.
[The selection of the second fate card begins.]
The background surrounding me began to shake along with the system message.
The bar I was sitting in shook in all directions, as if there had been an earthquake.
And the disintegration of all things.
All the wood on the floor rose up.
The drinking glasses on display in the cupboard piled up one after another and were swept away somewhere.
The table I was putting my hand on had long since turned to dust and disappeared.
Tsusssss….
Eventually, the ceiling above my head split to the left and right, connecting me to the outside world.
The night sky, like a black carpet, finally revealed itself.
[The player checks the character’s fate.]
“…This production is bloody and majestic.”
After freezing for a moment, I came to my senses again and started thinking.
It’s a scene I’ve seen countless times in the original anyway.
There is no need to be intimidated.
I opened my mouth right away.
“Pause card drawing.”
Then a new system message appeared.
[The selection of fate cards is paused. You can resume at any time.]
After pausing the card selection for a moment, I opened the inventory.
“Originally, drawing a card requires a sacrifice.”
Of course I know it well.
Probabilistically speaking, this is of no use.
Each card draw is performed independently and has no effect on the other.
‘But there is such a thing as a feeling.’
I took out two D-class confirmation tickets.
One was a reward card from the ‘Survival’ quest, and the other was a reward card obtained from Chero this time.
“Whoa!”
Even though it is rated D, no one knows what will happen here!
‘Do you know anything?’
When you reach transcendent level, you may receive an ‘Earthen Sculptor’ that allows you to be promoted to ‘Sun Sculptor’… or you
may receive a D-level card ‘Taming Beginner’ that allows you to be promoted to ‘Taming Meister’.
The future is full of hope!
“Come on, let’s go!”
I threw the two vouchers towards the night sky.
The two cards began to shed light as if they were shedding their skin.
I swallowed my saliva with excitement.
Next moment…!
[D-Class Destiny ‘Beginner Elementalist’ has appeared!]
[D-Class Destiny ‘Dog Trainer’ has appeared!]
“….”
Hope is ruined.
It was a total disaster, right?
First of all, elementalists were a profession that had to make contracts with spirits and gradually increase their power.
So, in the current situation, it was dismissed.
‘There’s a quest that needs to be solved right away, so I can’t just leisurely go around making contracts with spirits.’
And a dog trainer…
‘Wow, was there even a card like this?’
Training a dog in such a harsh and dangerous world?
Wouldn’t a cat be better?
“…Ah, this is the C grade of ‘Dragon Trainer’. That’s right, it was like that.”
I barely came back to my dazed mind.
Since it is a card that I rarely have to equip, it didn’t come to mind right away.
Flutter flutter.
Regardless of my mixed feelings, two cards flew through the air and into my hand.
“Ha, if you do this, I’m leaving.”
I scratched the back of my head and sighed.
First of all, the two cards were obtained through a guaranteed ticket, so there was no need to worry about choosing anything.
I just have to accept it.
‘Okay, first of all, it’s D-class.’
As mentioned, cards can be used as reinforcement materials for other cards.
This is possible even for lower grades if they go through the dismantling process.
‘Once we split it, we can strengthen the slave gladiators.’
If a useful one doesn’t come out in the second card draw…
‘Maybe I really need to improve my gladiator cards?’
…I don’t even want to think about it.
I resumed shuffling the cards, praying that something like that wouldn’t happen.
The main event has started again.
[The selection of fate cards resumes.]
[The player confirms the fate of the character.]
Stars of brilliant light rotate in the night sky.
In front of 1024 cards, I was feeling the tension that was squeezing the back of my neck.
What cards will appear this time?
Which of the three cards that will come down from the night sky should I choose?
Come to think of it….
‘EX-level great mage!’
Thinking about the card that passed by during the first card draw, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.
But at the same time, hope also came.
‘Could such a miracle occur in this shuffle?’
The probability of a transcendental fate card appearing in card shuffle is less than 0.01%.
If we only look at the possibilities, it is almost impossible.
But I had low expectations.
Actually, a bit more than that.
‘Honestly, I don’t know. This body is ‘that lineage’, right?’
…Gilroshan is the third son of the Baltic magic imperial family.
That was subtly fanning my expectations.
I was suspecting that Giloshan’s magical royal lineage might have been involved in the first shuffle.
‘The bloodline of the family that produced powerful wizards is said to be passed down to the 3rd prince.’
So, we are carefully predicting whether it will affect the drawing of destiny cards as an NPC.
Tsussss….
The rotation of the cards was slowly slowing down.
For some reason, I shivered from an unknown chill.
Yes, I think it’s a bit too greedy to hope for the transcendental level to become popular…
It’s just S level!
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to come out again? yes?
The Grand Mage’s previous level card is ‘War Mage’.
‘good. very good.’
I nodded vigorously.
‘If only a war wizard appears, the game will become much smoother!’
So what will happen?
Will those fate cards help this poor, pitiful third prince?
“It’s a game of luck and skill! “Go!”
I widened my eyes and watched the movements of the lights.
Finally, three cards fell from among the stars that had completely stopped.
That is….
[D-Class Destiny ‘Apprentice Wizard’ has appeared!]
[C-Class Destiny ‘Feng Shui Geographer’ has appeared!]
“…?”
It’s not war, it’s apprenticeship?
I was very embarrassed and was blinking stupidly.
There was no need to mention a ‘feng shui geographer’.
‘A dog trainer is a noble person.’
Where should I use my skills to see the odds in a knife fight?
Originally, non-combat occupations like this were used as auxiliary jobs when an additional slot was opened where the character could equip a fate card.
…Anyway, I don’t think there will be any room for a feng shui geographer.
“It’s really absurd.”
I sighed deeply.
How can something like this happen?
There is such a thing as cognitive assumption, but what do D and C mean?
But looking back, I realized that even in the first shuffle, the first two cards were F and D grades.
And of the three cards, the last one to pop up was the EX-class ‘Grand Mage’.
‘then? if?’
I thought that a huge card would appear at the end this time too.
but.
[The S-class fateful ‘genius theater actor’ has appeared!]
…Although he was S-class, he was a ‘theatrical actor’.
Are you lucky? Is it bad?
It’s ambiguous.
This was actually the same case as the feng shui geographer.
A secondary occupation that is difficult to use right now and can be used when one more card slot opens.
“Oh, I’m so angry. “Lucky game!”
I took a deep breath and then belatedly remembered one fact.
‘That’s right, theater actors were popular back then too?’
He remembered that even in the first card draw, the D-grade card ‘Third-class theater actor’ appeared.
‘This time, the wizard class is D-class. Are there any rules here?’
It was something I really didn’t know.
Anyway, I had to choose one of these three cards.
Apprentice wizard.
Feng shui geographer.
A genius theater actor.
…Except Feng Shui for now.
If you had to choose between a D-class wizard and an S-class theater actor, what would it be?
The choice was made immediately.
“A genius theater actor.”
