Chapter 786 – Guardian of the Dungeon
“Oh… It’s a multi-level training ground, isn’t this!?”
Theoretically, a system in the dungeon world that can increase the training ground infinitely. Thanks to this, Seong-il feels that he can roll a fast and powerful snowball based on this training system.
“…Based on this, you can also create Eden’s own Hunter class?”
After establishing an independent hunter association for Eden himself, Seong-il considers a system that grants hunter qualifications of up to 10 levels depending on how many times the dungeon has been cleared.
‘Well… It’s too biased to divide by just that, so only part of the score should be reflected in the clear conditions.’
Seong-il feels that if he makes a hunter grade score by evenly mixing the achievement points made based on the reality and clearing the dungeon here, the grades he completed at the academy, and the character points he figured out through his life in Eden, a pretty plausible result will come out.
‘First of all… I’m going to have to come up with some kind of curriculum based on the information that comes out while pushing students in.’
After thinking so, Seong-il checks the rest of the additional rewards.
‘…Joker card?’
『The Clown Who Mocked Fate (Can be used once)』
* By using this joker card, you can revive NPCs in the game world. However, a being that has been revived in this way cannot leave a radius of 100km based on the resurrection point.
* Only NPCs who are friendly with the user can be revived, and if the item is used in reality, an understanding of reality is forcibly injected like a follower.
* NPCs that are too powerful cannot be revived.
‘Reviving the dead…?’
While Seong-il ponders while looking at an item whose use is ambiguous, someone leaves a message on Seong-il’s phone, so Seong-il looks at the contents of the message with a puzzled expression.
『Dr. Lowe: You have succeeded in building a system to defend against the red thread.』
“Oh oh…”
He never thought that he would make a red thread defense system so quickly, so Seong-il stops his worries and hurriedly moves to the research building of the Pocket Girls world.
“Doctor!! Did you really find a way to defend the red thread?!”
“Oh, Sungil-kun is here.”
Despite Seong-il’s sudden visit and shouts, Dr. Woo does not panic at all and welcomes him. After that, he reads the excited Seongil and moves to the test site.
“…A nanomachine injection system?”
Now, when a place that is quite familiar to him appears, Seong-il asks the two doctors questions as if talking to himself with a worried expression. At that attitude, Dr. Jun smiles and tells him that his guess is correct.
“That’s right. It’s these nanomachines that we finally picked as a device to stop the contamination of the red thread. In fact, it’s even weirder if we don’t apply this technology to a powerful device as a defense device.”
“But…”
It was a very reasonable decision to use the ultimate machine, which finely interferes with the user’s body to strengthen it, heal injuries, and even allow the use of augmented reality and mechanical manipulation, for the purpose of defending the red thread, so Seong-il showed an optimism. See.
‘Anyway, you have to maximize your combat ability through nanomachine procedures to increase your external survivability. In the meantime, if we use nanomachines to defend even the red thread, the organization will have less work to deal with.’
“What about the bracelet? Then what are you going to use the device for?”
“Oh, I’m going to use that too. However, I’m going to use that device for auxiliary purposes. Actually… It was quite difficult to make a dimension transport device.”
In the case of gene defense, Dr. Jun said, fortunately, it was not difficult to develop the technology as they had Deus Ex Machina, a great nanomachine that completely blocks diseases and foreign substances in the human body. Since there were almost none, it explains that there were quite a few difficulties in development.
“It’s fortunate that the nanomachines quickly solved the genetic defenses. If it wasn’t for that, we might have really needed more time.”
“Aha…”
“Originally, we couldn’t even make a dimensional ‘return’ device. But after you made the ‘lighthouse’, we were able to rapidly speed up the development of the device with the help of the Gaia system.”
Having said that, Dr. Woo brings a smart watch that looks similar to the bracelet Seong-il brought back in the past and shows it to Seong-il.
“This is the dimensional coordinate system we made to imitate the bracelet you brought.”
“If I wear this, can I freely enter and exit the Innerplane?”
“Um… That’s not it.”
Dr. Woo explains that the dimensional coordinate system they created is literally a device that allows them to locate students in ‘reality’ on the inner plane.
“Originally… I tried to forcibly teleport the wearer like a conventional device, but… Now I don’t have to do that anymore.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Yeah, as I said earlier… It’s because you built the ‘Dimension Lighthouse’.”
Dr. Woo explains that thanks to the Dimensional Lighthouse, it is no longer necessary to create a return technology of its own in the bracelet. He explains that instead of taking the risk of being tracked by aliens by inserting a dimension movement function into the bracelet, he only inserted a function to check the status of the device, such as return, emergency, danger, and inability to fight.
“In this case, the Gaia system, which monitors the signal in real time using the dimensional lighthouse, analyzes the wearer’s condition, and in the event of a crisis, uses the dimensional power of the lighthouse to rescue the hunter by arbitrarily or forcibly teleporting it.”
However, unlike hunters who can naturally return to the inner plane with nanomachines and bracelets, the portal to be used for the rescuer still needs a branch of Widgrasil.
‘At least that much… I’ll have to endure it…’
“Has nanomachine treatment now become possible in large quantities? How about stability?”
“It’s still difficult to mass. Even if we do all the capabilities of the Inner Plane on the moon, about 100 people will be the limit.”
“…Isn’t that already huge?”
In a situation where the limit he was thinking of was about 10 to 20 people per month, when he heard about 10 times the number of people, Seong-il was taken aback by the humble doctor’s words.
“Haha… Are you saying that you know Eden’s productivity right now?”
However, the doctoral staff half laughs at Seong-il, who is surprised, and explains the mighty productivity of the new world he created. This explains that, based on the immense dimensional grace bestowed by Widgrassil and the goddess, the amount of output from the Gaia system is equivalent to that of a moderately powerful country.
“By the way, this is also the early days of Eden with a proper system, so it’s ‘only’ this amount of production. If Ms. Aruril goes around the dimension and increases the number of followers, I can guarantee that within a few years, Eden will restore the production of mankind in your world’s heyday. I don’t know if.”
“…Is that enough?”
“That’s enough!”
Dr. Woo is certain that the Inner Plane will become even more powerful thanks to the overwhelming labor force as G.E.C.R is being mass-produced.
“In addition, the effect of the Ethereal Stones of the Earth and the Atmosphere that I recently obtained on Eden was enormous.”
“…What Ethereal Stone?”
When Dr. Woo says something he doesn’t know about, Seong-il asks about the Ethereal Stone with an absurd look on his face. Seong-il’s question is such that when Seong-il is immersed in the world of dungeons for a while, the professors of Mythology World, who were trying to give him the Ethereal Stone, told him that he had dedicated the stone to the goddess as soon as possible.
“I’m using it to expand the land of the goddess. Thanks to that, not only is the expansion work quick and comfortable, but it’s also very effective because I can concentrate on the Ethereal Stones and use them only for necessary purposes. Just once a week, a green area the size of a Korean peninsula is being used. It is creating. Even mountains and rivers!! Even the atmosphere!!”
“Ah, well… I see.”
Seong-il decided to turn a blind eye to them using the stone without his permission, as he said that he was doing his best to use it for Eden.
“Wait… Then how about the customs…?”
“What? I heard that if you clear the quests given by the Game Master, your followers can also get points through quests of a certain level. So, among them, Miss Erica and Miss Yuna, who have been active under you for a long time, said they bought them with their own money. I heard you had to spend all your money.”
“Oh…”
It seems that followers can also get a certain level of points by clearing the quest.
‘Somehow… Since before, when I whined about a point, Erica implicitly told me to speak up if I was really having a hard time.’
Apparently, if Seong-il revealed everything about the points to himself, the followers themselves would not be able to obtain artifacts or materials from other worlds that they coveted, so they just kept quiet and used the points among themselves.
‘Well… Because I would have done the same.’
How much do his followers do for him, but Seong-il doesn’t want to go into detail about that. Hearing that even such a new stone is active in his world, Seong-il brings up the story of the procedure to the doctoral staff.
