A Guy Who Hates Neto X Re Reluctantly (？) Does Netori. 1402

Chapter 1402 – Baekgye

Experiment result. Me. Homun. Raeband could not produce even 1/10th of the power he normally used.
I can use energy with Ryunar, but it is far below the amount I normally use.

Also, in the case of Raeband and Homun, there were powers they gained from Kaits, but they were also unable to use them.
I also can’t use the magic items like Light Flame Sword or God’s Head, as well as various other skills.
To be precise, it feels like something is forcibly blocking you when you try to write.

The wizards of the Blue Tower who were listening to our conversation also checked their power.
Unlike us, they say little has changed.
The Cheongtapju can’t use artifacts or magic tools, but it can use almost all magic.

Is this a balance patch?
The strong seemed to have been weakened so that players entering the White Realm could fight as fairly as possible.
That’s so unfair.

Still, the good thing is. Thanks to this balance patch, I was able to easily defeat Twiga.
It was very dangerous because his combat ability had increased by using magical energy and divine power at the same time, but now he couldn’t even use infinite magical energy, let alone the power of distortion.
All it took was a strong physical ability.

However. Even though it’s a main quest, it’s truly an unbelievable power.
Are you saying that they sealed not only the power of us, who are the highest level among humans, but also the power of the Demon King of Purgatory, who gained divine powers?

Suddenly, the secret weapon of the Faikatsu family used by Nelf. ‘White Law’ came to mind.
The White Law had the power to turn all power into nothingness, and perhaps something similar is being applied to us.

“Let’s go to a nearby village first.”

It was Cheongtapju’s suggestion.
We were thinking of doing the same.
We need to find out why we suddenly came to Baekgye and who else besides us came here.

Actually. There are some rough guesses about both questions.
Nelf emitted Ryunar, and various energies resonated with the Ryunar, and perhaps something happened then.

Also, Cheongtapju, who was a considerable distance away from Nelf, also fell to the White World.
There would probably be no problem in thinking that everyone who was in the midnight sun came into this world.

Among them were Kang Baek-han and Ma Bing, who were transcendents from the old world and seemed to be the leaders of the new students.
There is a high possibility that they too have entered this world, but I don’t know what will happen if I meet them now that they have lost their powers.
Even if you are not an enemy, the cold of the snowy field is taking away your stamina.
Before collecting information. You have to go to a nearby village just to survive.

“Hey, Dre.”
“Shh.”

I made a gesture of covering my mouth with my finger to Raeband, who kept talking to me.
Rae Band pursed her lips and looked worried.

Okay. Be honest.
Me. It fucking hurts.
I feel like I want to pass out right now.
But you shouldn’t show it.
If only Raeband and Homun were here, I would have passed out safely, but since the people of Cheongtap were with me.
Cheongtap is also in the same category, but I’ve been feeling an ominous feeling ever since I heard about the ‘detailed compensation’.
Part of me wanted to hide the fact that my specs had weakened, but even if I had hidden it, they would have quickly noticed it because of their condition.
Let’s leave regrets behind and do what needs to be done first.

We tied up Twiga and the blue tower imprisoned him in a spell called ‘Blue Prison.’
It is a kind of sub-space, and being in it seems to keep you in a neutralized state for a long time.
The magicians of the Blue Tower seemed to have no restrictions on the use of magic, as they said.

Homun and Raeband are also knowledge acquired by individuals even though their powers and items are sealed. It seemed like the technology could be used as is.

But why can’t I do this?
I don’t know if it means sealing energy, but most of my skills have been sealed.
When I tried to use it, there was a strong backlash, and the backlash made the hole in my abdomen worse.

At that time, the wizards of the Blue Tower raised the sphere high.
That sphere is a magic called the crystal of vision and reconnaissance magic.
Soon the wizards found a village.

We moved towards the village.
While moving to the village, I encountered several monsters.

White goblins, white boars, etc. These monsters appear to anyone to be a miscellaneous mob.
In fact, even without me or two hero party members, a single magic spell from a regular wizard will do the trick! He burned to death through smoke.

“Goblin teeth and molars were provided.”
“Perhaps ‘white’ is the currency of this world.”

The wizards spoke in wonder.
It seems like you get rewards for defeating monsters like a typical RPG.
A few more white goblins appeared, and since I had something to experiment with, I asked the wizards to attack first and then struck the final blow.

Compensation was paid to me and all the wizards, but the wizards said that the amount was much less than before.
In normal cases. If you play in a party, the rewards will be less.

And like a game, there was also an inventory.
When I thought about it, it appeared before my eyes, but it was invisible to other people, and there was plenty of space.

As I walked and experimented with other things, I quickly arrived at the village.

The village was bustling with people, but if you listened closely, everyone was repeating what they were saying.

For example, “Buy apples~ Apples~” “How much does this cost?” “50 bronze!!” The conversation progresses to “Ah, it’s too expensive~” And then returns to the “Buy apples, apples~” Part.
These are not living humans, but merely game NPCs.
There were only a few variations in facial expressions, and they felt somewhat unnatural.

Among those NPCs, there was one NPC whose behavior and facial expressions were natural.
It was a merchant NPC with a robe wrapped around its body, and anyone could see that it gave off a different atmosphere than other NPCs.

The NPCs who repeat the conversation seem like ordinary people on the outside, but if you look closely, they look like dolls, but this merchant has a very striking appearance and seems to have a human scent.
I approached him and spoke to him.

“Excuse me.”
“What? Are you a guest?”

Chaking! What looked like an inventory appeared in front of me.
It was a list of items sold by this merchant character.

“Wow.”

I inadvertently admired it and then chuckled. I almost vomited blood.
My physical condition is getting worse…

Where. Let’s see what we dig…

[Bread. Ten hundred.
Water. Three hundred.
Restorative medicine. 100 hundred.
Medicinal herbs. 20 hundred.
Antidote. 500 hundred.
Old sword. 500 hundred.
Necklace of protection. 2500 hundred.
Information sheet for cloud village merchants. 500 hundred.]

There are only a few items for sale, and because there are not enough bags, none of them can be purchased.
I only have two hundred dollars in my hand.
I just caught a few goblins. Still, I never thought I would be able to buy even a single loaf of bread.

“Are you out of money?”

Oh.
The merchant tilts his head and asks.
Unlike extra NPCs who only had repetitive conversations, interaction seemed possible.
And that too at a very high level.

It reminds me of when I played a virtual reality game.
I opened my mouth, feeling nostalgic.

“Excuse me, but may I ask you a few questions?”

He looked annoyed by my words.

“If you want information, go to the informant at the information bar.”

There’s an informant.
But that NPC is sure to ask for money too…

I looked at the recovery medicine carefully.
If I drink this, will this abdominal wound heal?
The injury is more serious than I thought, and I feel my body losing strength in real time.
I want a recovery medicine, but I can’t buy it even if I borrow money from Homun and Raeband.
If I save up the wizards’ money, I might be able to buy at least one bottle…

I glanced. I saw the wizards of the Blue Tower.
Cheongtapju was also looking at me.
We stared at each other for a moment and then smiled broadly.

“Mr. Dre, we will also gather information. How about we meet here again later?”
“Of course.”

After the Cheongtap people disappeared, taking Twiga with them, I ended the conversation by asking the merchant about the location of the information bar.

“Hey. Are you okay?”

Raeband immediately picked up the bandage with a worried look on his face.
I shook my head and pulled up my jacket.

“No. Would you please tie me up?”
“I will… Hehe…!!”

Raeband was surprised and Homun made a serious face.
Not only is the amount of blood flowing from the wound on my abdomen unusual, but it is also turning black.
It must be the influence of demon energy.

“I don’t think wrapping a bandage can solve this problem.”
“This is a bandage with healing magic, but… Ah… It seems to have lost its healing function.”

Laband bandaged his mouth and applied pressure to prevent further bleeding.

“Shouldn’t you have asked the wizards to lend you money so you could use a recovery potion?”

I shook my head at Raeband’s words and looked at Homun.

“Homun. Can you use contact magic?”

Homun shook his head.

“As you know, communication magic is more difficult than you think, and you can only contact a certain target within a certain distance. Usually, Kaitsu’s power or Sumado were much more convenient, so I registered only Kaitsu and Mari, but Mari is not there.”

I know that contact magic is very tricky, but that’s not important right now.

“Is the activation itself possible?”
“…As long as I have someone to contact.”

Although a penalty was imposed, the skill was learned. In other words, even the magic was not sealed.
A certain sense of discomfort becomes stronger.
Homun’s expression didn’t look good, as if he felt the same discomfort as me.

“Raband. Homun. When you first came to your senses in this world, were there people around you?”
“Huh? I was alone…”

Raeband made a face asking why. Homun thought for a bit and said.

“I was alone too.”

Although Twiga was nearby, he approached me quickly due to his physical ability, and the distance itself was quite long, so I was actually alone.
Homun thought for a while and then said.

“If you think about it, the number of people in the Blue Tower is strangely large.”

To say that the number of people around them is simply determined randomly, there are ten of them. They all belong to Cheongtap.
It is also possible to speculate that people who were around when they were sucked into the White World came together, but as far as I know, for efficient surveillance and control, the magicians from each magic tower were evenly mixed together, and the tower owners were together with each other.

Conclusion.
Maybe. The wizards of the Magic Tower can still contact each other even after entering the White World.
But. They don’t tell us that.
Homun asked.

“No way. Will they?”
“Once certain facts are confirmed, I might do it.”

What about Raeband in our puzzling conversation? Uh? I tilted my head.

“What are you talking about?”
“Raeband. What happens if you die in this world?”
“…Well, really?”

This white world is a world very similar to a game.
If you die in the game, you usually respawn at your save location.
But. Does everything resemble a game…?
An ominous feeling fills me.

“Let’s hurry.”

Jjambap, who played a virtual reality game, didn’t go anywhere, so we quickly found an information bar.

The whole way, Raeband clung to me, grumbling about what kind of lightning this was. She also feels that something is not right with her. It seemed like they were trying to protect me, who was injured.

Homun was quiet, probably trying a contact spell.
I’m also trying to do all-eum etc… But every time I do that, it puts a lot of pressure on my body and the injury only gets worse.
Holy shit.
Why is it only me?

After arriving at the tavern, our acquaintance with the mobile Raeband. Is there Nelf or any other hero party in this town? Or, I asked them to see if there was any useful information and went into a house and a tavern.
The informant at the information bar was a muscular man who reminded me of Mr. Blanc.

It was an interactable NPC like the merchant from before, but this was the question I was concerned about. When asked what death meant here, he answered:

“If you die, you die! Isn’t there more money than that?”
“…”

If you die, you die.
I asked if it was possible to be resurrected after death, and I was told that if I wanted to know, I would pay money.

Those of us who were close to penniless paid together.
The informant seemed to be dissatisfied with the small amount of money, but he offered to give me at least basic information and told me in detail about the ‘compensation’.
But among the compensation contents. It contained content that could not be overlooked.
Homun and I’s faces hardened in an instant.

“Homun.”
“Okay. Let’s get out of this town.”

If you do this wrong… You could die.
As we left the tavern, Raeband returned with perfect timing.

“As far as I checked, there was nothing! Wow, it was hard to investigate while avoiding the wizards!”
“I’m glad there isn’t one. Thank you for your hard work.”

I can leave the village and reorganize without any hesitation.

“Why? Why? What’s going on?”

Homun answered Raeband’s question.

“I’ll explain once we get out of town. The first thing we need to do is get Dre somewhere safe and get him the means to recover.”
“Okay.”

A warrior party is good because the story is fast.
It’s a good thing to be quick to understand in an emergency situation.
At that time.

“Master Dre.”

Our steps stopped when we heard Cheongtapju’s voice calling us from behind.
When I turned my head, there were twice as many wizards as before.
Green Tower. Wizards of the Golden Tower were added. Furthermore…

“Oh! Isn’t it you, Dre!!”

It was Geumtapju who excitedly called me in a frivolous voice.

Top stock price. Two people.
And…

“Instructor Dre-!!”

Among the tower owners, the pretty girl waving her hand with an thrilled face was Nelf.
Cheongtapju was standing very close to her.

“Are you okay?!?!”
“…”

Umm.
Fucked.
