Chapter 459 – 459. Long-Distance Flight 3
Day 2 of a long-distance flight.
Today too, we start flying right from the morning.
The road to Russia. Desolate land and dry dust.
Even in this place where I thought there were only rocks, sand began to appear. Okay. After all, a desert must have sand.
When I think about it, there’s no way there isn’t sand. Yellow dust coming to Korea. All that sand comes from here.
On top of that, the bastards even add fine dust to the topping. Anyway… We need to catch and kill those bastards quickly.
It was amazing to actually see a desert filled with sand. A desert like a picture. Sand dunes that don’t feel real.
It’s a place you really don’t want to come to without skills. It’s a place I don’t really like. It’s really desolate.
The funny thing is, what is a nomad’s tent? Is it a ger? Anyway, something like that.
That means it keeps showing up. They are amazing people. What does it mean to them that the world has changed like this?
Has something changed in your life? What skill did you use?
I was curious, but I don’t really want to go down and check.
I don’t know. I don’t know if there is an amazing beauty.
No… Even if there is a pretty girl, you probably don’t want to touch her.
If you think about sanitary conditions, well… Even if I take off my clothes and run at you, I don’t think I’d mind.
Anyway, they are people who pose no threat to me.
People who have given up competing with others. People who are not interested in changes in the world.
In the past, I would have caught them and killed them one by one. But I don’t really feel the need for that anymore.
It’s not like I feel guilty about killing a few more people, having already killed so many people.
It’s just annoying. Time is delayed. If we catch and kill all of those people one by one, we won’t be able to go anywhere.
I crossed the desert like that and covered 500 kilometers today.
The direction is… You’re going the right way, right? Not having GPS is really inconvenient. Isn’t there such a skill?
There might be something like map creation. If you look at the fact that it hasn’t been released so far, you should assume it doesn’t exist, right?
Anyway, save your current location and now teleport over the East Sea.
It feels strange to be floating on the sea after flying over the dry, desolate land just now.
There is no middle ground. One side is completely dry, and the other side is extremely wet.
Flying over the sea is really no fun.
Still, if you’re bored in the desert, something pops up one by one.
In the case of nomads, they had clairvoyance, so it was possible to peek inside the ger. There was nothing to see.
And since there were more animals living in the seemingly harsh desert than I thought, I was able to see them with my clairvoyance.
An unknown scorpion, a snake crossing the desert, something that looks like a strange lizard, a bird or a gazelle? Am I right? Anyway, even those animals.
Plus, there were camels. It is unclear whether they were wild camels or camels that returned to nature after people died, but there were still quite a few camels.
So I wasn’t bored watching those things.
But what about the sea?
Does not exist. Nothing.
Of course, there are a lot of creatures living under the water. There will be creatures that cannot be compared to those in the desert.
But you can’t see it as it flies. A scenery that cannot be seen unless you dive.
I thought I could see under the water through perspective, but it didn’t make much sense.
It doesn’t seem like I can’t see through, but it was just dark and dark under the water.
Okay. If there was no light, you wouldn’t be able to see inside even if you were to see through the lens. That can’t be helped.
Anyway, all I can see is the sunlight reflecting off the water. The light is so dazzling that you might go blind.
And. This is going to burn my face. If the light reflects this much, it won’t be a joke by the time we arrive in the US.
Fortunately, there was sunscreen in the storage unit, so I applied it without any hesitation.
There’s no need to save because it’ll be a new one anyway, right?
My skin is precious. This is better than the sticky, unpleasant feeling of sunscreen.
I think it was a good thing that I decided to go to the US before summer.
No matter how cool the wind was, it would have been difficult if the sun got hotter. It’s not easy. It’s cold in winter and hot in summer.
Why isn’t there a skill like weather immunity? Honestly, if we’ve dehumanized this much, shouldn’t we have those skills?
The more I think about this skill system, the more ridiculous it seems.
It’s like giving an ordinary human a weapon that’s too big. So, that’s it. Does it feel like you put a real scythe on a praying mantis?
It’s too easy to kill someone.
But it is very difficult to defend against other people’s attacks.
In particular, the limitations of the body are so fragile. A sunfish-like system where you die if you don’t block the flying skill with a skill.
If I didn’t die immediately after being hit by the skill, the structure would have been different, right?
Well, even if that had happened, I would have chosen to sleep.
I think this is the problem with flying over the sea.
Since there is nothing to see, you have a lot of random thoughts. Still, if you go at least thinking like this, you’ll be less bored.
Otherwise, I would just keep regretting it.
Why did I even think of doing this? Why am I doing this to enjoy wealth and fame? Like this.
Four hours have passed since we flew over the sea like that.
500 kilometers in each direction per day. Little by little, the map is revealed in an ignorant way.
Really… No matter how much I think about it, it’s crazy.
Has anyone else done something like this? Of course, the world is big and there are a lot of crazy people, so it’s not like there aren’t any.
But no matter how much I think about it, there are too many things that are needed.
First, teleport. Without this, it makes no sense. Being able to save the last location you went to and come back is a huge advantage.
Anyway, teleportation is a Tier 5 skill. Okay. This won’t be difficult.
But the problem is flying.
Even if I go at 125 kilometers per hour after taking the limit break passive, I feel this frustrated, but if I tell myself to go at 50 kilometers per hour without breaking the limit… Is that possible?
Well, it might be possible. I would do it… I don’t think there’s anyone who does it. Honestly, I don’t know.
A guy that crazy… Is he really still alive?
Anyway, I’m coming back home.
I felt a little relieved because I ate a fair amount of potions while practicing clairvoyance.
I went out in the morning, but when I returned home, the sun was already starting to set. This is so… I feel like I’m losing a lot of money. Grumble, grumble, grumble.
“You came…?”
Seunghee finds me and comes to me helplessly and hugs me tightly.
“It looks like you worked hard on your skills. The condition is incredible.”
“But the good news is that I’m getting used to it because I’m doing it too…”
“That’s right. Humans are creatures of adaptation. So are you less skilled today?”
“Yes… I can’t do it anymore.”
“Really? Then let’s go fish-taming and release them.”
“Ugh. That’s unfair. That’s right. Let’s go.”
“It’s Anna! It’s Mina! It’s Se-ya!”
Call everyone and board the gate to Wuhan.
Since the fish do not move much at night, there is not much profit.
Instead, 400,000 was earned by SeAH’s four fish diligently picking up coins for 8 hours in the morning.
Now it’s time to farm until late at night with Seunghee’s three fish.
Really… 400,000 is a huge amount of coins. It’s sad that I’m not that inspired anymore.
My eyes were raised too high. Every time you learn a skill, your coins start breaking by 10 million, so now a few hundred thousand is really ridiculous.
400,000 is enough for people with only a few skills to learn one skill and still get a decent amount of potions.
Anna takes the lead with coin detection turned on, followed by the rest.
Pass the small coins to a certain extent and move during the morning to a place where the fish have not yet arrived, then save the location.
And again, fish timing. Se-ah’s four and Seung-hee’s three.
Leave the fish that are starting to pick up coins and return to the bunker.
As soon as Seunghee returns home, she sinks into the sofa. Still, I can’t go into the room.
Mina goes into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Se-ah and Anna go outside.
“Where are you going?”
“Us? Couple.”
“Couple? Ah.”
“It’s good for sparring because you can’t damage each other.”
“Hmm. Really?”
And then the two go out of the bunker.
I took a quick look at Seunghee, and she waved her hand to tell me that she was okay.
Boy. You’re strangely quick-witted. I didn’t say anything in particular.
I went outside and started watching the battle between Se-Ah and Anna.
The two started sparring right away without much posture.
I’ve seen it a few times in the past, but the sparring between the two is evolving day by day, much different from then.
The current battle is between Se-ah, who is trying to break the shield, and Anna, who wins just by touching the shield, so Anna clearly has the advantage.
Two people floating in the air and moving around with Blink.
It’s not like I’m moving around like crazy. Anyway, if one side uses Blink, the other side can also escape using Blink.
But now the movement has changed a little. Feels like moving through flight rather than blinking?
Well, that’s much more beneficial for physical strength management. Once you learn how to fly, you can move your body just by thinking.
Anna flies to Blink and punches Se-Ah’s shield.
The posture… Well, honestly, it’s a bit sloppy. That applies not only to Anna but also to Se-Ah.
Neither of them have properly learned martial arts.
But that doesn’t mean we can ignore the skill in that fist. Posture isn’t that important. Anyway, all you have to do is get hit.
Just before Anna’s fist hits the shield, Se-Ah quickly moves behind her.
Her Lightning Fist cannot spray lightning inside the shield unless it hits the shield. Therefore, SeAH only needs to move that much.
As long as Anna’s arm. No, there’s no need for that either. It doesn’t matter anyway, even if it’s just an inch away.
However, Anna also misses and blinks right behind Se-ah.
This time, SeAdo Blink. She appears a little distance away and watches Anna’s movements.
Then she blinked again. She appeared squarely behind Anna, and then she swung her fist back to her front.
Kachang!
The sound of a protective shield breaking. And Se-ah’s fist touched Anna.
But in the meantime, Anna hit Se-Ah twice. Uh. She’s right twice, right? It looked like that.
“Ugh. I lost money. Anna’s methods were really too extreme. You were targeting her, right?”
“Of course.”
“Ugh. It’s 1 to 2. It’s okay. There are still generations left.”
Ah… That’s right. They have damage reduction.
If they’re in the air, they won’t be affected by area-of-effect skill invalidation, so you don’t have to worry about them dying in one hit.
So, it is possible to move like Anna does now. A method of intentionally hitting once and then hitting yourself twice.
This is a method I can’t do in the first place. It doesn’t fit my way of thinking.
And… That has a lot of problems.
“Wait a minute! Both of you, come!”
When I shouted out, Anna and Se-ah flew right in front of me.
“Why?”
“Why?”
Two people with puzzled expressions.
“I just saw you two doing it, Anna. Did you intentionally hit me twice while giving me one hit?”
“Yes.”
“But why are you doing that? Do you believe in reducing damage?”
“Yes. I heard it’s an 80 percent decrease?”
“Uh, right. That’s true, but… I think we both misunderstood something.”
“Hmm?”
“Yes?”
“Look. You said that damage reduction reduces damage by 80%, right? But you’re assuming that 100 damage is received, and that’s reduced to 20, so you think it’s over after being hit five times, right?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“That’s not true. Why are you assuming the damage is 100? Se-Ah’s fist is not 100. If it hits you directly, 1,000 would be funny, right? It’s the fist that shattered the Three Gorges Dam. Anyway, 1,000 damage is still 200 damage even if it is reduced by 80%. It’s strange to assume that our health is 100, and it’s also strange to assume that our attack is 100. So what I’m saying is that we shouldn’t do it that way.”
“But…”
“But anyway, you have to base it on something that doesn’t work at all. So, Anna, a method like yours is quite dangerous. I wish you wouldn’t do it.”
“So there’s no winning?”
“To be alive is to win.”
Anna closes her mouth at my words. Se-Ah also thought about it carefully and seemed to agree inwardly.
Anna also thought for a moment, then she looked at me and said.
“I understand. If you tell me to do it, of course I will do it.”
Anna clearly agrees. That look as if there were no particular concerns or objections.
Then she looks at me and smiles. Anna’s familiar smile.
Seeing that smile left her with nothing more to say.
Eww. It’s a foul. Really.
“Should I do it again?”
“Okay. Now, if you reach it first, you lose.”
“Yes.”
Then, the two launch themselves into the sky again.
And then the sparring begins.
I had many thoughts while looking at those girls.
To be honest, Seana Anna shouldn’t have to directly bump into the other person like that.
No matter how superior the situation is, it’s a fight where you don’t know what variables will arise.
We do not show off our strength or fight to subjugate the opponent.
Just killing it. A situation where killing is the best, regardless of means.
In my plan, there is no way to argue and fight with the other person like that.
Even if it exists, it should be reduced to the minimum. I only do it when it is really unavoidable or when I can completely win.
Anyway, I don’t have anything to say about practicing like that. Whatever it is, it’s better than nothing.
It would be funnier to tell people not to do it as if they don’t need it when they show such passion on their own.
