Episode 203 Week 11 Strategy (1)
When Kim Ho said that his pillow’s useful life had ended, Seo Ye-in returned to the dormitory with a very dissatisfied look on her face.
So I spent the remaining weeks and weekends of the PvP season slowly working on the skills I had.
monday.
Lee Soo-dok and Seo Cheong-yong returned to class as if nothing had happened.
Judging by the lack of significant injuries, it appears that an all-out war did not break out as expected.
The fact that it took quite some time for them to return means that they were chasing them but eventually lost track of them.
Perhaps because of this, Lee Soo-dok openly revealed that his judgment was very distorted, and the students had to take the class under extreme tension.
On the other hand, Seo Cheong-yong was no different than usual.
As always, he continues his classes with a friendly smile.
“We have a very important announcement this week.”
Seo Cheong-yong continued speaking, slightly raising his hand.
“Okay, let’s raise our hands. My current strategy score is over 5,000 points?”
“… … .”
If you were at least mid-level in the strategy battle, you would have achieved 5,000 points, and even those below that would have gotten around 4,000 points.
The students slowly raised their hands, looking at each other.
‘I got over it a long time ago.’
More than half of the entire classroom.
The accumulated strategy score before the midterm exam was 5,040 points.
With the 2,250 points from the midterm added to that, the total became a whopping 7,290 points.
If you only look at the strategy battles, it is almost at the top level.
‘I got over it a long time ago.’
The accumulated strategy score before the midterm exam was 5,040 points.
Seo Cheong-yong glanced around the room and then opened his mouth.
“Students who have scored over 5,000 points will be able to enter the basement every week starting today.”
“… … !”
The faces of those who raised their hands at those words brightened and they exchanged excited looks.
Those who still lack points look at them with envy.
That’s understandable, because up until now, the basement of the dungeon building was off-limits to first-year students, and if you accidentally stepped foot in there and were caught, you would receive penalty points.
But now I am qualified and can step down with confidence.
Seo Cheong-yong waited leisurely until the commotion died down to some extent.
Soon, one by one, their attention turned to him, and he smiled and continued his explanation.
“I understand you’re excited because it’s your first time going down to the basement. But that doesn’t mean you can let your guard down, right?”
Because dungeon raiding isn’t a picnic.
Seo Cheong-yong’s attitude, which was always gentle, became quite serious.
Since this was an unusual case, the students also listened to him seriously.
“First of all, the most important thing to note. There are no safety devices in the underground dungeon.”
All the ground-floor dungeons entered for battles so far were artificial dungeons, and had various safety devices installed in layers.
Representative features include a practice mode where you can try multiple times, a device that reduces damage and pain, and a forced escape device that teleports participants out of the dungeon when their lives are at stake.
On the other hand, all underground dungeons are naturally occurring dungeons.
There are no safety devices installed at all.
If the strategy is not successful, you may suffer serious injuries and even lose your life.
“So, if you want to conquer the basement, you should thoroughly research and prepare, and check the replays to see how your seniors conquered it before you go in, right? Of course, the rewards will be as great as the risks and difficulties.”
Unlike the above-ground dungeons, the underground dungeons provide rewards upon clearing.
For example, Go Hyun-woo continues to use the magic sword he obtained from the Feather Snake Altar.
Also, at the Feather Snake Temple, I obtained the priest’s dagger and equipped it on the root, and at the Countermeasures, I obtained the Sealed Demon Box and was able to quickly raise the rank of the Hyeon-eum-ok-ma-ji.
‘The random box was also pretty good.’
As such, conquering underground dungeons increases the risk, but also provides sufficient rewards.
If you can keep attacking steadily, it’s like continuously mining gold.
“Next note, first-year students are only allowed up to the F floor. You can’t go down there yet.”
Currently, we are only qualified to conquer F-class dungeons, and we are still restricted from higher-level dungeons.
If you are caught on floors D and E, you will be punished as before.
Of course, I plan to go down secretly without fail.
“Next, to earn strategy points, you must clear one of the ‘designated’ dungeons that week. You must also film a replay and submit it.”
The intention behind teaching strategy to students is to allow them to experience and overcome a variety of environments.
If you only choose dungeons that are convenient for you and clear them, that intention will inevitably fade.
Therefore, the dungeons designated by the academic side change every week during the strategy battle, and you can only obtain practical evaluation points from those dungeons.
Also, unlike the surface dungeons where everything is monitored, there is absolutely no way to find out what students are doing when they enter the underground dungeons.
You can clear it with the help of a 2nd or 3rd grader and pretend that you did it on your own.
Therefore, the performance evaluation score is given only after submitting a replay.
“So what kind of strategy will we have this week? Those of you who are quick-witted will probably have already guessed.”
When the female student in the front row raised her hand, Seo Cheong-yong pointed to her.
“Hostile environment?”
“Yes! That’s correct.”
Last week, Mrs. Cho Ok-soon said this.
– For the remaining semester, I will try to adapt to the hostile environment.
So no matter what the other rules were, the environment was bound to be unfavorable to the participants.
Like a volcanic area where volcanoes erupt incessantly and lava overflows.
Seo Cheong-yong put the rules and environment on the blackboard.
MAP:[Glacier Area]
RULE:[Defense]
“We’ve all played defense before, so we’re all familiar with it. But it’ll feel different if we play it in a different environment, right?”
Song Cheon-hye glanced at me.
I guess the memory of me and the pair guarding the old temple came to mind.
I also suddenly had an idea and held up three fingers.
And with the shape of the mouth,
‘Three wishes.’
“… … !”
Then the lamp genie’s pupils shook left and right, and then he hurriedly turned his head forward.
You may be hoping I’ll forget, but I never forget a debt I owe.
Meanwhile, Seo Cheong-yong was moving on to explaining the underground dungeon.
“If you want to try the Underground Dungeon this week, you must choose a hostile environment, even if it’s not [Glacier Zone]. The rule is that it must include [Defense].”
Then he snapped his fingers and the blackboard was covered in numbers.
These were the numbers of the F-class dungeons designated as this week’s conquests.
“Then shall I take questions? Anyone have any questions?”
“… … .”
No one raised a hand.
I had already experienced both the hostile environment and the defense rules, and the underground dungeon was not difficult since I just had to choose one from the list.
Seo Cheong-yong had a kind smile on his face.
“Well, that’s it for today’s class. Good luck to you all!”
As soon as Seo Cheong-yong left the classroom, a loud noise filled the room.
– Hey, hey, do you want to go down?
– Wouldn’t it be better to just use the ground floor as a safety net?
– No, if you go down, the item will come out.
– Even if I came out, I’m still an F-class.
– You never know, it might be a huge hit.
While some people are excited about going down to the underground dungeon for the first time, others are indifferent, saying it’s just an F-rank.
Go Hyun-woo, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, asked me.
“What do you think, Brother Kim?”
“Of course I’m the one going down. It’s better to gradually gain experience starting from F-class.”
“You think the same way. If you only pursue personal safety, you won’t be able to grow.”
“While we’re on the subject, let’s go down tonight.”
Go Hyun-woo’s gaze deepened.
“If you insist on choosing night, it would be lower.”
“yes.”
The promise with the fencing club is to complete the Jangbodo within this week.
But it looks better to get this sorted out quickly and deliver it rather than dragging it out until the weekend.
Go Hyun-woo nodded and asked.
“What are your plans for the Geumju strategy battle?”
“I’m going to go right over there and finish it off with this guy.”
I pointed to the ‘guy’ lying down next to me.
The calligrapher was already half-awake, as she lifted her head slightly and opened her eyes slightly.
But before I can say anything, it subsides again.
‘You’re still angry.’
Go Hyun-woo also asked us if he felt something unusual when he saw that sight.
“You two, did something happen?”
“I was fooled… … .”
The calligrapher answered the question while lying face down.
Go Hyun-woo’s doubts deepened.
“You were fooled? Are you saying you were fooled by Brother Kim?”
“Pillow… … Temporary… … .”
“?”
Go Hyun-woo looked puzzled.
Of course, if you don’t know the context, there’s no way to know what a ‘temporary pillow’ means.
He quickly backed out, deciding that it was not something he should get involved in.
“Well, anyway, I hope the two of you can reconcile amicably.”
“You’re secretly perceptive.”
“Haha, that’s too kind of you to ask.”
Go Hyun-woo left the classroom first, saying that they would meet again in the evening.
I moved to the seat in front of the calligrapher and called out to the giraffe that was lying down.
“Excuse me, stand up.”
“… … .”
“Do you want an extension?”
“Extension of the period… … !”
“Let’s decide after seeing what he does.”
“It harms… … .”
* * *
The basement of Dungeon-dong was still deserted.
Although it has been opened to allow first-year students to enter, I am still hesitant to just go in.
I intend to go in after gathering at least the bare minimum of information.
Of course, this story did not apply to us.
Because I had all the strategies from A to Z in my head.
If it was a D-class, it would have taken a long time to walk down, but for an F-class, it only took a few steps on a circular staircase.
It was fortunate that the calligrapher became a little less of a bother.
Soon the calligrapher and I arrived in front of the dungeon entrance.
[No.979] [Lightning Valley]
“Let’s get this done quickly and take it easy.”
“It harms.”
