Chapter 65 – Episode 65. Event Dungeon
In the middle of the plaza, three doors appeared silently.
Three large doors about 5m wide and 10m long.
Like the door to the underworld in my cradle of rest, the inside is filled with something like a gurgling liquid.
If you go through that door, you will be moving to the event dungeon.
People began to hum, and a message appeared before their eyes.
[This is 10 minutes before the start of the event dungeon. You can enter from now on. The contents of each dungeon…]
What the message explained was no different from what I knew earlier.
Information about each dungeon.
I gathered the group and talked.
“Now, it’s time to tear up and act. Juniel is at the far left door, Mr. Captain and Sieun, and Jiyoon is at the middle door. I’ll go through the door on the right. Well, I won’t go so far as to tell you to be number one. However, I will do my best to be in the top ranks, and if there are any unusual issues, I will send them telepathically. Got it?”
The companions who nodded at my words.
“If there is someone around you who wants to be a hero, take a good look and tell me. I’ll contact you after the event. Anyone with questions?”
At my words, Jiyoon raised her hand and asked a question.
“That… What should I do if I get into a fight with another team?”
“If possible, try not to start a fight first. However, if a fight comes from the other side…”
Well, it’s not that simple
“Kill.”
The companions who nodded at my words.
Well, Juniel won’t have to say anything more, and Sieun and Jiyoon will also be properly armed, so don’t worry.
Mr. Captain, well… He was basically a dark-hearted person, so he must act well on his own.
Among my party, the person who can be said to be the most mentally weak is Jisoo.
I haven’t killed a human before, since I forcibly killed him using an order.
So, with me, the door on the far right. I want to enter the third dungeon and train my mind.
The third dungeon is a dungeon where humans have no choice but to fight.
I looked at the people going through the door and opened my palms and thought.
‘200 Gold’
Twenty large golden coins appeared on top of my hand, and I gave them five each to Juniel, the boss, Sieun, and Jiyoon.
“When you go in, let each one think for himself and move instead of my orders. Got it? Then come out and see me.”
At my words, the parties leave through their respective doors.
It’s the first time I’m falling properly like this, so it feels a little strange.
I opened the door to rest, pushed Jisu and Dongseok inside, and slowly walked to the third door.
A situation where many people are still moving inward.
I also entered the crowd and passed through the door.
The surrounding vision turns black,
A message came to me as I stood in the middle of an empty space.
[The event dungeon participation fee of 50 gold is deducted. Please choose a nickname for the participant. If you do not decide on a nickname, your real name will be exposed on the leaderboard that goes up every midnight.]
‘It’s a nickname… What should I use it for?’
I roughly set up a nickname called ‘get off’.
[This nickname is already registered. Please choose another nickname]
‘… Tsk. Then ‘off 1’. ‘
[This nickname is already registered. Please choose another nickname]
‘Ah-oh. Then ‘off 12′. This will work’
[This nickname is already registered. Please choose another nickname]
“Oh shit!!!”
In the end, I was able to set my nickname to ‘Off 1234’.
After setting the nickname, my eyes flashed, and I was standing in the middle of a forest with many trees.
A situation where no one can be seen around.
Then, a message popped up in front of my eyes again.
[Welcome to the event dungeon, get lost, Mr. 1234. This dungeon is a ‘treasure hunt’ dungeon, and the purpose is to find and collect 10 treasures hidden in the field.
Rankings are determined by how many treasures you have until the end of the dungeon one week after the event period. The location of the treasure will be displayed on the map for ten minutes at midnight and noon every day immediately after the event begins, and any means of finding and defending the treasure will be effective. After a while, the ‘treasure hunt’ will begin after 2 minutes and 53 seconds. Immediately after the game starts, the safe zone function will be disabled.]
After reading the message, I summoned the door of rest and took out Jisoo.
Jisoo, who came out with a sword, looked around him with curious eyes and said.
“Lord, Master. There’s no one around..?”
“Looks like the starting points are all different. The event will start soon. Are you ready to fight?”
At my words, Jisoo nodded his head with a slightly nervous expression.
“Yes, master.. I will work hard.”
Yes, you have to work hard
So won’t you be able to be loved by me and call me ‘baby’ again?
Anyway, so many people went in the door, but I couldn’t see anyone around like this.
How big is this event area?
As I continued to look around, the message appeared in front of my eyes again.
[From now on, the ‘treasure hunt’ begins. A compass is provided to the participants. The Safe Zone function is disabled. Attacks between users are possible. The treasure’s location is displayed on the map for 10 minutes. Find the treasure!!]
The message quickly disappeared, and what reappeared in front of my eyes was a large translucent map. And, a small compass that fell under my feet.
The shape of the map was very simple.
On a large round island-shaped map, there are ten gold dots scattered in all directions and four green dots located at the center of each circle when it is divided into 4 equal parts by drawing horizontal and vertical lines. Then, I saw a shiny white dot.
‘Looks like the white dot marks my location. The gold dot seems to be a treasure… What is the green dot?’
I reached out and manipulated the map myself.
I tried to zoom in and out by reviving my memories of using my old smartphone, but it doesn’t work.
But when I put my finger on the gold dot, information about which direction and how many kilometers away from my location began to emerge.
‘Well, this is good. If you look at the map, it won’t be difficult to find the treasure.’
My current location is located in the southeast area on the map.
The location of the treasure closest to me is about 3km away in the northwest direction. It was also quite close to the green dot.
Shall we take the treasure and check what the green dot is?
I picked up the compass, looked at the direction, and spoke toward the index.
“Let’s run. There is a treasure nearby.”
“Yes, Master.”
I started running with a compass in my left hand and a summoned spear in my right hand.
The trees around are quite a hindrance to running, but that’s probably the same for everyone else.
I said to Jisoo who started running next to me.
“Look around and run. If you feel anything, say it right away.”
“Yes, Master.”
Since Jisoo has much higher stats than me, even if you feel something, you will feel it before me.
I ran at high speed, checking the map and directions.
When there is about 1km left to the treasure on the map,
“Lord, master. People are… Crowding around.”
Hmmm, probably a group of people looking at the map and running to the treasure.
“Everyone is a competitor. If they come at you, don’t give a damn and cut them off.”
“…”
I said looking at Jisoo with a nervous expression.
“Answer.”
“… Yes, Master.”
“Keep your mind straight. Because i’m not playing Isn’t this the first time you’ve killed someone?”
“Yes… Master.”
Jisoo who gives strength to her eyes and looks straight at me.
Well, if you said this much, you would have understood.
Now we are almost at the golden dot.
And a group of people running towards the golden dot came into view.
At that time,
The gold dot on the map began to move.
‘…Someone got the treasure.’
Coincidentally, the direction the treasure was approaching was the direction I was facing.
Good. It’s me. Thank you.
As I ran a little further, I heard the sound of clashing weapons and shouting from ahead.
And,
A lot of people running in the same direction.
Hey, that’s a lot
Where did you hide and come out?
As I run a little further, I see an enormous number of people gathered.
A huge crowd of people surrounding someone.
It’s a group of people who look like a hundred people at a glance.
And, in the center, six people who are holding something and being vigilant in all directions come into view.
The object he is holding is a large golden trophy.
Is that a treasure?
If possible, make it a little easier to carry. What made it so big?
I don’t care what
Anyway, the 6 people holding the treasure are looking at the surroundings with tense eyes while aiming their weapons at the crowd surrounding them, and the crowd surrounding them is also looking at them without hastily stepping out.
It’s a very ambiguous situation.
You may want to take the treasure away from them right now, but you will become a target for others as soon as you take it away.
The number of corpses lying around seems to be quite high, as if the 6 people who had acquired the treasure had quite good skills.
As I was spending time in a confrontation without being able to do this or that, all the dots on the map disappeared.
It must have been 10 minutes since he said he showed the map.
Now, what do we do?
I was thinking about it for a while when a man stepped forward and shouted.
“Anyway, the six of you can’t protect that treasure! Quietly leave your treasure behind! If you want to save your life!”
At the man’s words, another man stepped out from the other side of the crowd and said,
“You seem to be saying you can protect that treasure. Where does your confidence come from?”
“I have a total of 15 team members with me right now. That’s enough to protect the treasure!”
Wow, there was a fairly large group in there.
But it seems that the opponent was also the same.
“Can we keep it with just that number? Our team alone has 21 people?”
Ha, did you come in after eating all of this?
Well, if you have a normal head, you’d rather go all-in in one dungeon rather than ripping people apart and entering all dungeons like I did.
Certainly, the surrounding crowd seems to have more or less of each team.
It’s not that a few people like us are invisible, but the situation is so small that we can’t even step forward.
It seems that it has become more difficult to touch the treasure as they are checking each other with the composition of the team against the team.
The moment either team acquires the treasure, a big fight will happen.
I can’t stay like this forever though.
I moved behind the crowd, opened the door to rest, and took out the soapstone.
Dong-seok walks out with blank eyes.
It’s not a combat-related job, so I didn’t plan to use it much, but there were not enough people.
I gave orders to Dong-seok and Ji-soo.
Dong-seok runs out first.
“Uwoaaaaa!!”
He screams and draws the attention of the people around him like a madman, and Dongseok runs.
Toward the six people holding the treasure.
Everyone’s eyes are on Dong-seok, and the six people holding the treasure are also embarrassed.
What is the identity of a guy who rushes into this tension-filled confrontation with his bare body?
Must be crazy
When the eyes of those who are so dumbfounded are focused on Dong-seok,
Another shadow that jumped out from the crowd rushed towards the treasure with a speed that couldn’t be compared to soapstone.
The surrounding crowd could see the newly appeared shadow, but the six people holding the treasure were so focused on Dong-seok that they did not notice another shadow approaching them.
Fu-wook
The sword of the man guarding the treasure pierced Dong-seok’s chest.
When Dong-seok collapsed to the floor with his body trembling,
“Kwaaaaa!!”
With a sharp scream, the man’s arm holding the treasure soared into the air.
Only then did the six people, who dug in among themselves and recognized the existence of Jisoo wielding a sword, tried to respond to Jisoo,
Jisoo had already stolen the treasure and was on her way to me.
The crowd surrounding them were perplexed and at a loss what to do with what had happened in an instant.
After running out to meet Jisoo, I summoned the door of rest.
The index that enters the door of rest that I have opened.
As I entered the cradle of rest afterward, there was a moment of silence among the crowd around me.
A situation where the treasure thief and the treasure disappeared in an instant.
After a moment of silence, a great uproar broke out, and the crowd began diligently looking for us to hide somewhere.
I looked at them with leisurely eyes in the cradle of rest and lifted the treasure Jisoo brought.
Acquire a treasure.
It’s easy.
