Chapter 69 – Episode 69. Event Dungeon (5)
When I opened my eyes, the night sky, which had been filled with stars, was suddenly bright.
Jisoo, who was lying next to me, greeted me.
“Master! Are you awake?”
I got up from the mattress.
Ah, even my mind is tired, so I don’t feel like sleeping well.
I roughly calmed down and said to Jisoo.
“Yeah, woke up. Wasn’t there a lot going on all night?”
“Yes, everyone who searched this place has left. While digging and searching, we got into fights and got into fights… It was a bit noisy.”
As Jisoo said, the outside of the cradle of rest is a mess.
Here and there, the ground was dug up, and even blood and corpses were scattered.
There is no such thing as a dwarf.
I looked around the dwarfed area and said to Jisoo.
“Have you been in touch with the kids?”
“Yes, first of all, Juniel is ranked 1st in that event dungeon. Also, the dungeons that Mr. Captain, Si-eun, and Ji-yoon went to have not been ranked yet. It’s a period to test the level of users who have entered the dungeon. After the test is over, a raid monster will appear based on the test results, and they say that we can catch it together. “
“Um… Anything special?”
“There is nothing special about it. Juniel, you don’t have to worry about anything, and Shi-eun unni also disguised herself thoroughly and went there… There were people who treated her as two women, but they said they folded her waist neatly and didn’t bother anymore.”
Hmm. I’m glad there’s no big deal.
Unlike this dungeon I am in, the previous two dungeons are dungeons that don’t really need fighting between users, so I don’t think there will be any conflict.
This ‘treasure hunt’ dungeon is the biggest problem.
Well, that’s what I came in myself.
I rummaged through one side of the cradle of rest, took out some food, and started chewing.
You’re going to have a hard day today, so you should eat well.
As I chewed the bread, I remembered the conversation I had with Saijun last night.
*****
After hearing my explanation, Jun widened his eyes and giggled.
[No, no, are you kidding me? There is no way there could be such a side job…!!]
“I am not kidding. So I kept saying. It’s an odd job…”
[I heard that sub-jobs are created based on the job you focus on the most after creating a job. If that’s the case, oppa has been focusing on that job the most since the job was created!]
“… That’s right. At that time, the situation was like that.. I should say the correlation between survival instinct and sexual desire.. Anyway, what would you do? I didn’t get that sub-job because I wanted to!”
[That, that…]
Jun looked at me with a devastated face.
[I-I said that I would dedicate my body and soul to help… But I never imagined that it would be such a side job… So that’s why I made that promise…]
“Do you understand the meaning of helping me with the training of my side job?”
[No, of course I know. But that…]
Jun blurted out his words with a look of bewilderment.
Seeing Jun like that, I sighed and said,
“Honestly, I didn’t think so. It’s not like what I was trying to train here in the first place was my secondary job skill. But Jun suddenly stumbled upon the idea of a ‘fairy promise’…”
Jun looked at me as if he was trying to say something, but then he lowered his head again.
Jun stood still for a long time with his head down.
When I can’t stand the awkward flow of time and try to call Jun,
“I..”
Jun spread his dainty hand to the left and stopped me and said.
[Bird, give me time to think.]
“Time to think?”
Jun nodded at my question.
[I think it will take some time. I will think about this problem enough and talk to my brother again.]
“All right. Then, give yourself enough time to think about it. I… Now it’s almost time to go. I’ll just go for it.”
[…
I stared at Jun, who lowered his head without answering, then disconnected from the shop and returned to reality.
*****
As I was chewing bread, remembering what happened last night, all the bread in my hand had disappeared before I knew it.
“Master? Are you okay?”
Jisoo looks at me worriedly and speaks.
I suddenly got out of my mind and said to Jisoo.
“Oh, it’s okay. Now, let’s get out of here soon.”
“Yes, master. Where are you going?”
I said, shaking off the bread crumbs on my hands.
“Let’s go to the gate first. Wait there, and when the treasure is marked on the map, go directly to the nearby gate.”
“Yes, I understand, Master.”
After Jisoo finished talking, she brought my clothes and put them on me.
Hmm. These days, he listens well and doesn’t show any resentment. I mean, he’s been pretty obedient.
I lightly stroked Jisoo’s hair as he was dressing me.
Jisoo made a surprised expression for a moment, then looked at me and smiled.
I lightly kissed Jisoo’s lips once and got out of the door of rest.
The temperature difference between inside and outside the Cradle of Rest is palpable.
It’s pretty chilly outside, so I’m sure it’s the perfect temperature to die of hypothermia if you’re homeless without any preparation.
Most of the contestants would have been homeless, so it must be difficult.
I put on the coat I was holding in my hand.
As it is a coat enchanted to provide the wearer with the most comfortable temperature, you will not feel the cold at all from the moment you wear it.
It’s worth the money
I looked at the corpses strewn around me and shouted in one direction.
“Dongseok. Go inside”
A corpse that suddenly rises at my call.
It was a steatite that had been abandoned all night.
It would be fine to put it in the cradle of rest, but I’m just concerned about having a good time with Jisoo.
So, Dong-seok, who was ruthlessly expelled, returned to the cradle of rest only in the morning.
After sending Dongseok inside and closing the door to rest, I started walking with Jisoo.
The surrounding scenery does not change much.
This space where many trees are planted at appropriate intervals.
I don’t think that this space with moderately artificially planted trees, moderately empty spaces, and moderately streamsides is the earth.
It must have been created for this event, or it must have been a space of another dimension.
If you think so, the guy who made this damn happy game must be a ‘God’.
I decided not to think about why I made this game.
Since I’m enjoying it enough, I’m just enjoying it until the end.
By not even asking the question ‘why’ that would make your head hurt.
As I walked while thinking about this and that, I was able to reach almost all the way to the gate in area A before I knew it.
Now, I plan to wait here until noon and move to the most convenient place when the location of the treasure appears on the map.
Jisoo and I, who were moving, stopped for a moment.
I could feel the presence of people approaching us.
They were some distance away from me and Ji-soo, who were moving, but I could feel them turning and approaching us, as if they had found us.
If you approach someone else, a stranger, in this place where everyone is on edge, it must not be for a good reason.
Me and Jisoo moved on again.
When we finally reached the gate, 7 people ran into us.
The seven-member team, consisting of two women and five men, looked quite surprised when they saw me and Jisoo suddenly bumping into each other.
See you acting
Because I knew right away.
A middle-aged woman with sad eyes, who seemed to be the eldest, stepped forward and said to Ji-soo and me.
“Did you come to use the gate?”
I took a step forward and answered.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m not going to use it right now.”
A middle-aged woman looked back at the party with a different look at my answer.
She looked back at me and asked.
“Are there any other people? “
“No.”
“You are amazing. To think that just the two of you wandering around this dangerous place…”
“Dangerous? Well. I didn’t say there were monsters here or something…”
“What is so dangerous about this monster? It’s a world where people are more terrifying than monsters.”
“Ah, I agree with that. People are really scary.”
There is no problem with the conversation going back and forth.
But there is such a thing as atmosphere.
Those eyes hidden in the sad-looking eyes are never friendly to Jisoo and me.
Of course, the same goes for the eyes of the party standing behind the middle-aged woman.
I prepared to summon the spear at any time, and sent a telepathic message to Jisoo, instructing me to prepare for battle.
A middle-aged woman kept talking to me.
“We’ve been around here since last night. But the number of people trying to use the gate was so small that she could count it on her hands. The cost of using it is quite high.”
“Ah, I think the same way. It was too expensive. Taking 30 gold every time you move… It’s a gate that you won’t be able to use a lot. Yes?”
“Oh my, from what you are saying, you must have already used it?”
“I did. I tried it yesterday when I came over from another area.”
“Wow. You must be a person with a lot of money. If not, how-“
“Stop, stop. Let’s just go there. It looks like the other side noticed too, so I don’t think we need to talk further?”
The conversation between me and the middle-aged woman had to be stopped due to the intrusion of another party from the back.
A middle-aged man with a shaggy beard, as if he hadn’t shaved in quite a while.
As the man interrupted her, the middle-aged woman told the man that she was in a bad mood.
“What are you doing? Can’t you see I’m talking?”
“You’re saying this because it sounds like you’re wasting time needlessly. Apparently, there really isn’t anyone else in the group, but why are you gritting your teeth for being so careful? It’s okay. Let’s stop If you meet another team that is on the move like this, it will be a headache. Apparently, he seems to know how things are going, so let’s move on quickly.”
The middle-aged woman looked at the man and she huffed and walked away to where her party was.
The bearded man looked behind her and gave a rotten smile, but then turned to me and said quickly.
“Now, I think you can understand the rough atmosphere. I can’t see the gold and food I have. Do you buy and eat them then and there? Take it all out anyway. That lady brought a weapon too.”
Hmm, I didn’t mean well, I thought, but openly robbing.
I looked at the bearded man and said.
“Why did you enter the treasure hunt dungeon and not find the treasure you were told to find?
The bearded man made a stern expression at my words, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Huh, after a day of doing it, I realized that it was impossible to find a treasure with only 7 people, and that even if we did find it, we would not be able to protect it. But even though I paid a lot of money to participate, I can’t go back empty-handed, can I?”
“Aha. So you’re thinking of raiding and robbing a small number of people?”
“Yes. So far, it’s been great. I robbed about three teams, but the participation fee was recovered a while ago.”
“Oh, are we the fourth team?”
“Okay. So, if you understand the situation, let’s do it quickly. You want me to give you everything you have?”
“What kind of confidence are you talking about robbing so openly? What if there is a very strong person among a small number of people?”
Conversation with me seems to be annoyed.
The bearded man’s impression is getting more and more crooked.
“Ah, I’ve never met those guys before, so shut up and get some gold. Don’t you know that I’m talking like this so I don’t want to kill you guys? If you give away everything you have, I will send it to you, so don’t hide it and bring it out.”
“Sleep.”
Teeing
A piece of gold generated in my hand flew towards the bearded man.
1 gold.
The impression of the man who received the gold was distorted, and I spoke to him in a flirtatious manner.
“I’m giving it to you because I’m proud that you didn’t run right after killing us. Is that enough? In the future, work a little harder and think about punishment.”
“This damn bastard tried to save me!!”
The bearded man immediately swung the sword he was holding as if excited.
Be quick-tempered too.
But,
Jisoo’s sword, which had moved in front of me, swung across to me,
Caang
Sparks flew and the confrontation between Jisoo and the bearded man began.
Oh Seo Ji-soo. You’re doing great.
In fact, with Jisoo’s stats, he should have been able to sever the sword as well as that bearded man in one blow.
But if I did that, I thought the group behind me would run away.
If they scatter and run away, there is no way for me to pursue them.
So, I ordered Ji-soo to treat him as if he was moderately boiling.
Look at that
You run right at us.
As I expected, the six people behind us charged at us, each with their own weapon.
I summoned a spear, held it in his hand, and stabbed it quickly toward the man running in front.
Puck
My spear pierced the man’s face with a dull sound.
Oh wow be brutal
At the same time,
Wickedness
Jisoo’s sword swung the bearded man’s neck to the floor.
It was a situation where everyone jumped at me, so there was no need to hide my skills.
In an instant, two corpses collapsed, but the other five robbers could not bear to turn and run away.
You’ve come too close for that.
Before long, Jisoo started to dance with swords.
A fast-moving sword of index with overwhelming stats.
Enemies couldn’t block such an exponential sword.
“Now, wait. Talk about us loud!!”
“Wait a minute! I’m still kyaaaaak!!”
The 7 robbers who were alive and breathing until just now became corpses and lay down on the cold floor.
So why are you quietly touching passers-by?
Looking at the fallen corpses with irritated eyes,
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
A welcome message floated before my eyes.
