My Characters Are Heroes From Another World 226

Chapter 226 – Is This the Earth? (5)

“Clear one first~.”

After reaching level 110 for Pingchaengchulongi, the character connected to Ellie, I took a step back and stretched out my arms.

It’s been a while since I sat still and played a game, and my body aches more than I expected. Have you ever sat still for about two hours since being summoned to this world?

“Thank you for your hard work, Jinu.”

“Thank you, Ellie.”

Ellie held out a fork from next to her. There is a beautifully peeled apple stuck there. I really don’t know how much this is.

I asked Ellie, taking a bite of the sweet apple.

“What do you think? First of all, I raised the levels of all characters connected to you.”

Ellie stood next to me and looked around her body and said,

“Hmm… I definitely feel a little stronger than before. The sacred power in my body has also increased considerably, so I think I can make much more powerful attacks than before.”

Of course it should be like that. There are stats that go up, and skill proficiency increases as the level goes up.

However, in order for a character to become stronger, equipment is more important than level. In Elion, character strength is a problem because it is designed so that characters with better equipment become much stronger.

The reason why a level 110 character is stronger than a level 100 character may be due to the difference in level, but the impact of the equipment is greater.

So, raising everyone’s level in a short period of time is the basic thing, and how well your characters grow will be determined by whether you are good at farming equipment.

“Yum yum… Now let’s try the next character. Ellie, you can come and visit this world as much as you wanted to.”

“Is that okay?”

I thought about letting Ellie play the game to level up her character, but unfortunately she only has one account, so she can’t play at the same time.

In that case, she thought, it would be a good idea to let Ellie, who wanted to come to this world and see it, do whatever she wanted. There’s nothing I can do right now other than play games.

At that time, her mother opened the door and came in.

“Oh, so Ellie? Do you want to go shopping with me? We can walk together and listen to Jin-woo’s stories. She’s also curious about how she’s been doing since Jin-woo left.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea, Mom. Ellie, you must be bored, so come with her mom. I’ll be playing games.”

Ellie looks back and forth between my and her mother’s faces and seems confused as she doesn’t know what to do.

“Yes, yes. As soon as my son came back, I couldn’t even talk to him properly and just kept playing games. Does it really feel like the saying that raising a son is useless is true at times like this? Ellie, you should at least go with him so you don’t get bored.”

“If you say so… Jinu, I will be back for a while.”

Ellie bowed to me and left my room with her mother.

Okay, so shall we continue?

I’m sorry to my mother, but I still have a lot of work to do. The remaining 7 characters also need to reach max level and farm items to a minimum to become stronger.

During item farming, I plan to exclude items that require time-consuming farming and focus on farming items that can be done with minimal effort. If there is a need to charge, we will hit you as hard as possible.

If I go back to the world where Gaia is, I won’t be able to return, and it doesn’t matter how much I spend since it’s the money I had anyway. Still, I have money saved, so I plan to use it.

My parents said they didn’t touch the money I had saved, and they even told me that I would take some money out of it and spend it. You can give the remaining money to your parents.

If I had unlimited money, I would like to strengthen all characters to the same level as Renia, but that is impossible. The reinforcement that went into Renia was quite lucky, so I have no idea how much it would cost if I just did it. In that case, it is better to spend money on means that will definitely make you stronger.

One thing that is fortunate is that the succession system that has been established to this day is still maintained after a major incident occurred in the past where half of the users were lost due to character spec reset.

The succession system is a system in which reinforcements and abilities granted to character items are transferred to other equipment. Thanks to this, even when the maximum level was expanded and new equipment appeared, the value of the items owned by users was maintained without dropping.

Perhaps, if new equipment were released again without this system and users were told to farm, the game Elion’s servers would have to be shut down that day. Even if you scroll down and scroll down the community’s posts, you will only end up swearing at the administrator. Oh, of course, I also plan to be the leader in that post.

Some people argue that the barrier to entry has increased because of that system, but I just laugh at it. The people who charge enough to keep the game going in the first place are the ones who spent a lot of money, so if all of those people leave due to the reset, wouldn’t they be charging that much? I think it can only be seen as a bug.

I use double monitors to play games and use the other monitor to find as much information as I can on the community. I don’t have time to look up what new items are out there right now.

In these cases, it is more useful to use collective intelligence. I post questions on the community and ask other users about the optimal settings.

Of course, if I just posted a question, it would be buried as is, so I didn’t forget to post an attractive title.

While I was playing the game, an alarm was ringing that a comment had been left on my post.

The title of the post is roughly ‘Isn’t it better for Paladins to use A and C together rather than A and B items together? I put it like this, ‘It’s like I don’t know L. LOL.’

Rather than just asking which item is better, if you post something like that, self-proclaimed experts will tell you in the comments which item is better. There are people who say in the comments that I’m a guy who’s coming to punish me with a low rating, but I just ignore that.

There is no choice but to collect as many comments as possible and go to the Elion.Gg site to check the ranker settings.

Elion.Gg is a place where all the information about the user characters of each job in the game is displayed, and it shows which items and which skill tree they are using. You set a certain time and calculate how much damage you can inflict within that time, and the ranking is calculated based on that.

If you hear it this way, you might think that you can just follow the settings of the top rankers, but that is a really wrong idea. This is because there are some rankers who are not actually rankers.

As I said, it is true that you become a ranker if you make the highest deal within a limited time, but that is only based on calculations and theory.

In practice, it’s a completely different story.

For example, let’s say there is a skill that deals 100 damage if all attacks are successful. But what if you need 10 hits to inflict 100 damage?

If the monster goes crazy and you can only do 2~3 hits with that skill, let alone 10 hits, you will only be able to do 2~30 damage.

In other words, the rankings on that site are simply sorted in order of theoretical damage, completely excluding practicality, so that aspect must also be taken into consideration.

I don’t want to hit the site rankings right now. To defeat Chaos Alcatraz, you must have a setting that can deal powerful damage and is highly practical.

Items with long farming times should also be excluded. If I had been playing Elion continuously, I would have been able to complete the setup quickly, but now I am pressed for time, so I have to get help from the community.

Okay, I made one more character to max level before an hour and a half passed. When I first played a character connected to Ellie, I didn’t know where to go so I got lost and wasted a bit of time, but now that I have memorized where to go, I don’t waste any time moving around!

Besides, I think I can shorten the time even more if I keep doing it. Since the dungeons you have to go through while leveling up are all the same, if you memorize where the monsters are placed, you can figure out what skills to use for each location to efficiently catch them and pass through them.

This is an essential ability if you become a miner in the game. A miner is a person who makes money by repeatedly going through dungeons, farming game goods, and selling them to others. It is said that some people make a living from this. Although I have never seen it in person. Sometimes, when I’m bored, I work as a miner to obtain goods. Instead of selling them to others, I’ve been self-sufficient.

To become a miner, time is of the essence, so the ability to understand how efficiently you can run through dungeons is essential.

In fact, miners are more eager to make money through games than miners. Rice eaters is a rather negative term for people who buy rice with the money they earn from playing games, but most people who play games properly are the type of people who dislike them. Since the game is literally used as a means of making money rather than enjoying the game, it is not uncommon to see people who do not even use the basic settings needed to run the dungeon in order to save on the cost of potions while running the dungeon.

Most of these people make a lot of money, but if you go as a guest and make a mistake, it takes a long time to clear the dungeon, which is a waste of time, and in some cases, you may not be able to clear it at all.

Actually, I experienced it too…

While I was playing the game non-stop, I heard the front door opening. It was probably Ellie and her mother who returned from shopping.

“Jinwoo, we’re here!”

“Jinwoo, I heard you’re back. Come out here and see!”

When I heard his voice, it seemed like my father had also come home from work. I answered briefly and then focused on the game.

While playing a game, I suddenly think about myself…

What? Maybe I’m a little trash?

When I thought of myself playing games while meeting my parents for the first time in a long time, I thought it was trash, so I stopped playing and walked out of the room.
