Episode 294 Event Boss
Saturday morning.
I met the calligrapher at the shuttle bus stop.
Whenever I go to a downtown area, I am twice as energetic as usual, but today I feel even more energetic than usual.
So I casually asked a question.
“What percentage is your battery today?”
“91%.”
“It’s the biggest ever.”
“Powerful.”
A calligrapher who even strikes a fighting pose.
I’m really excited to play.
On the one hand, I think there must be a reason why the calligrapher insisted on going to the downtown area this week.
Maybe the belly button sensor has reacted?
Right now, the ‘I just want to have fun quickly’ hypothesis holds more weight, but we’ll find out which side it is when we see it.
We took a shuttle bus that arrived soon after and headed to the downtown area.
Next week is the big week, but this week is also a busy week.
It’s still crowded.
I walked along the flow of the crowd and asked the calligrapher.
“Where do you want to go most?”
“… … Game Center?”
“I thought so.”
Maybe it’s because he had so much fun playing at the game center whenever he came to the downtown area, but the formula ‘downtown=game center’ seems to have taken root in the calligrapher’s mind.
I have no intention of opposing it, since you can get a small prize.
However, the main goal of this downtown trip is to look around the shops and, if there is an item you want, buy it.
I proposed this with this point in mind.
“There’s a magic tool shop on the way, so let’s stop there first. What do you think?”
“great.”
The calligrapher nodded coolly.
When I first came to the downtown area, I combined the items I got there to get a set of Cloud and Dark Cloud bracelets.
Today, I planned to look around there first, spend some time at the game center, and then look around another store.
Of course, since I had quite a bit of time, my plans could change flexibly, and there was no need to rush straight to the magic tool store right now.
So, I took a leisurely walk with a calligrapher and looked around the downtown area.
“… … .”
I have already figured out the calligrapher’s behavioral pattern through two trips to the downtown area.
As I look around, if I see something interesting, I slow down and stare at it, or I slowly pull myself away.
Then I would follow them and watch, or if they seemed to be going too far astray, I would try to stop them.
As expected, the calligrapher’s footsteps gradually changed to a crawl, and he slowly headed towards the street vendor.
And I came back with a mini hot dog.
“I’ll give you half.”
“I’ll eat well.”
The two of them quickly devoured the mini hotdogs,
Then the calligrapher slowly headed towards the street vendor and came back with a bag of mini buns.
“I’ll give you half.”
“Okay, thank you.”
As the calligrapher’s gaze turned back to the street vendor after finishing the mini buns, he decided to apply the brakes this time.
“Stop for a moment.”
“… … ?”
“If you snack too much, you’ll get full.”
The street food is great, but I also received a coupon for a pastry shop from An Jeong-mi.
Since this is not an opportunity that comes often, wouldn’t it be better to fill your stomach at a pastry shop?
“… … .”
The calligrapher looked back and forth between the street vendor and me for a while, thinking.
Then, as if he had suddenly come to a realization, he raised an exclamation mark above his head.
“… … I’ll give you half.”
“Honestly, I’m doing this because I want to eat you.”
“……little?”
As I opened my eyes, the calligrapher slowly avoided my gaze.
Of course, in the end we split it half and half.
“This is the last one. Do you understand?”
“all right.”
While I was watching various street performances, I noticed that students from the club were often seen today.
As the end of the semester approaches, I’m trying to see how I’m doing in areas other than grades.
As if they came from the Nature Club, the second and third year beast tamers were showing off various tricks with their pets.
As the wolf picks up baseballs and throws them into the air, an eagle hovering in the air catches them one by one and throws them back.
On one side, there was Park Na-ri, who for some reason was getting punched in the face by Beom-i, who was very upset.
“Ah, no. Stop, eek. Stop hitting me.”
‘How pitiful… … .’
I’m still suffering from that damn cat today.
I walked with compassionate thoughts.
As I continued walking, I saw Han Gyul-woo and Choi Han-gil, who I had seen when I infiltrated the temporary storage facility, performing on the street.
When midwinter builds an ice wall, Choi Han-gil instantly carves it into a statue.
It was mana control worthy of a White Magic Club executive.
“… … ?”
Meanwhile, the calligrapher looked at one place with eyes full of curiosity.
Colorful explosions occur, and smoke of various colors rises as well.
As I followed the calligrapher slowly pulling me along,
‘It’s an alchemy club.’
There are countless tiny, finger-sized bottles of potion lined up on the shelves, and students passing by sample them one by one.
As one of the schoolgirls cautiously drank the blue potion, there was a blue explosion and smoke.
When the smoke cleared, her hair had turned a blue color like the potion.
“and…….”
The female student looked at herself in a hand mirror and exclaimed in admiration.
‘It’s a dyeing item.’
An appearance-changing item that changes hair or eye color for a certain period of time.
Most of them follow the color of the potion.
“… … !”
The calligrapher looked at me with bright eyes.
Then, a senior from the alchemy club who had been waiting nearby noticed me like a ghost and approached me, repeatedly soliciting customers.
“Try it. It’s delicious and fun. By the way, I won’t charge you for it.”
Of course I wouldn’t accept it.
The goal isn’t to make money, but to test the performance of the hair dye.
That doesn’t mean there was an accident.
Since the club has some sort of reputation, they probably brought things that have been somewhat tested, and even if there were any harmful ingredients, calligraphers are immune to a hundred poisons, while I am immune to a thousand poisons.
So, I took the orange potion bottle as the senior alchemist handed it to me and drank it.
‘It really tastes like orange.’
The taste isn’t bad.
As I was taking a sip of my drink, there was a loud bang and my vision was covered in orange smoke.
Soon the smoke cleared and the calligrapher looked at me.
“Orange Kim Ho.”
The senior alchemist smiled broadly and showed me his hand mirror.
Of course, my hair and eyes are dyed orange.
“I can’t be the only one who suffers.”
I handed over the pink potion, and the calligrapher took it and drank it slowly.
– Boom!
Within moments, a burst of pink occurs, and the calligrapher’s hair and eyes turn from gray to pink.
“… … ?”
“Hey, who is this? Isn’t that Pink Sloth?”
“… … !”
The calligrapher seemed very interested and kept handing me the potion bottles, and each time, I transformed into Blue Kimho, Green Kimho, White Kimho, etc.
I think I understand Rainbow Gapdu’s position a little bit.
– Boom!
The calligrapher said as she looked at my changed appearance again.
“… … Gray Kim Ho.”
“I guess you like it.”
“Pass.”
Seo Ye-in stopped handing out potions because she liked Kim Ho, who had gray hair and gray eyes, the most.
For reference, the calligrapher had turned into a blonde, blue-eyed sloth.
Let’s stop tasting the potion here.
Before I left, I asked my senior from the alchemy club.
“How long does this last?”
“About two hours? Then it’ll be back to normal. Or come find our club.”
‘Or else’, does that mean it might not be restored to its original state?
It was a statement that was a bit unreliable, but it was nothing to worry about.
At best, it’s just hair color.
After that, I continued walking around here and there, and before I knew it, I found the
But then the calligrapher tilted his head while staring at another place, and I also turned my head in that direction, wondering what was going on.
And then I found something familiar.
‘That thing was still there.’
A masked gentleman was approaching with an exaggerated, staggering gait.
He is a field boss and event boss who challenges opponents he likes with light quizzes and mini-games.
And if you win a mini game, you get a hidden piece.
When he first came to the downtown area, the calligrapher figured out his trick and he was rewarded with a [Lucky Trump Card].
That was almost two months ago, so I expected it to have left Dungeon Island by now, but surprisingly, it was still there.
“~~! ~~!”
The masked gentleman, as before, made no sound, but he made many gestures with his hands and feet as he approached, indicating that he was happy to see me.
At the same time, judging from the way he was rummaging through his pockets, it seemed like he was trying to take out a trump card or something.
But it wasn’t just one guy approaching the calligrapher.
The eyes of the passersby were suddenly drawn to one place, where a clown was dancing clumsily and slowly approaching them.
He was dressed in flashy clothes and had a mask over his face.
Looking at that, my eyes widened.
‘That’s also an event boss.’
It’s almost the same as the Masked Shrine, with only slightly different minigames and types of rewards.
One thing that is curious is that it is extremely rare for two event bosses to appear in the same place like this.
They each have their own area to operate in, and even if they occasionally encounter each other, one of them tends to leave immediately.
Even though they recognize each other now, they approach the calligrapher competitively.
‘Why are they all like that?’
If a player doesn’t like it, they treat them like they’re invisible, let alone play a minigame, but they were desperate to somehow give an event to the calligrapher.
‘I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.’
Both are powerful bosses, but not dangerous.
This means that even if you lose a mini-game, you won’t lose a life.
I also had a guess that if it was Bokdeung, he would be able to handle something like that easily.
The first to arrive was the masked gentleman.
He shuffles the trump cards around in a flashy manner, as if he’s about to start a minigame right away.
However, the masked clown who arrived later put his hand on Trump and stopped him, and the two event bosses started arguing with their hands and feet.
To give you a rough idea of what it means,
– I’ll do it, you’re out!
– I came first? You have to leave!
– My part-time job?
The calligrapher looked at the guys in turn, but somehow seemed to have lost interest.
And as he tried to take a step forward, the clown and the gentleman immediately stopped fighting and, floundering, blocked the calligrapher’s path.
Judging from the gesture, it seems like he’s asking for a moment.
I have absolutely no idea what made them so desperate.
“… … !”
“… … !”
As the calligrapher stood still, the two bosses quickly communicated and quickly reached an agreement.
Soon the clown took a step back, and the gentleman began to shuffle the trump cards.
‘Are you going to do it alternately?’
– Clang!
The calligrapher stared blankly at the dazzlingly shuffled deck of cards.
The supporters eat it all
