23. Daily Dungeon (2)
As night neared, Aaron came to the training ground and said.
“Forgive me for being late.”
“What are you sorry about?”
I muttered and threw the wooden spear.
Aaron accepted.
“If I were just a little stronger, the two of us would…”
“They died because they were weak. That’s all.”
dinner. The training ground is empty except for me, Jenna, and Aaron. The personnel who had been training during the day ate dinner and stretched out.
I understand.
It was not usually easy to train all day long. It is human nature to want to rest when we are tired and to sleep when we are resting.
Aaron took the spear and stabbed the scarecrow.
One attitude deserves to be called exemplary. There was no clutter in the action. That’s how Aaron started the ‘1,000 stabs’ he always did.
Jenna was training at the firing range.
Practice shooting arrows quickly. It took only one second to take an arrow from the quiver of the waistband, attach it to the string, and then shoot. There are still a lot of misses, but the hit rate is increasing day by day.
I practiced swinging the real sword very slowly.
It takes about 1 minute to lower once. It’s a training method I’ve only seen in martial arts novels, but it’s incredibly helpful. I was able to know where to put strength in the body and how to fix which part.
Has it been an hour like that?
I put the sword in the scabbard.
Wipe the sweat from the nape of your neck with a towel.
Current time, 9:47 PM.
My estimate is about 10 minutes before Amkena connects.
I was about to leave the training ground, but Jenna followed me.
“Is the master coming soon?”
“You’re quick to notice.”
“It’s your brother’s subordinate No. 1.”
I came out to the square, picked a suitable bench anywhere, and sat down.
Jenna sits down.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
As soon as 10 p.m. came, the sky lit up.
[Loading has finished.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
It’s been a month since I came to this world.
It would have been a little over 10 Earth days.
Through my observations, I was able to figure out Amkena’s access patterns.
The time difference between the waiting room and the earth is about 3 times. Earth time Amkena was online 3 times a day, morning, noon and evening.
Based on this, it is possible to create an access prediction table for Amkena, but the sample is still lacking. It will gradually become clear as time goes on. Now, it was at the level of hitting with a sense.
For reference, time on stage flows in real time.
If it had been a threefold difference there, I would have died yesterday.
[These… … The master told me to come to the square when I log in! It’s a very good master, master!]
Isel, who appeared before I knew it, said.
[In comparison, our Loki… … I wish the other guys would follow suit. Anyway, good job on yesterday’s battle! Breaking through the survival mission on the 5th floor with trash, after all, Master of Master! Cap was cool.]
it’s a cap
It’s an expression of time.
[ah! radish! Ton! Cheeky, cheeky! I’m struggling to the bone, are you guys going to spread out in the dorm? I won’t let you go!]
“Leave it alone. If you call, everything will come out on its own.”
Anyway, the number of people who sortie for battle is limited.
[Ah, I got it. Otherwise, it can be done.]
“What kind of wind did he blow into?”
“It’s a trade secret, dude.”
Jenna looked at me suspiciously, but then sighed and relaxed.
“So, is today a day dungeon?”
[Wait, wait! The Master started manipulating it.]
Issel disappeared in a flash.
[Form a party.]
[Drag and drop heroes!]
[‘Han(★)’ joins ‘Party 4’!]
[‘Jenna(★)’ joins ‘Party 4’!]
[‘Louise(★)’ in ‘4 Party’… … .]
‘Dungeon of the week.’
nothing to see
[Open, the opening of time and space!]
The front door opened with a bang.
Isel came back and shouted for the plaza to leave.
[Lewis, Joffrey, Owen Nawat!]
After a while, three men came out to the square with trembling faces.
I was resting, but it seems I was interrupted.
[Five people here, enter the space-time gap. practice!]
“Five? Those and the two of us?”
Jenna blinked.
They were people who stayed on the first floor of the main dungeon and had hardly seen their faces from Jenna’s point of view. Those three also lowered their heads, as if we were uncomfortable.
I entered the gap of time and space.
After a while, four people including Jenna came along.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 5]
[The feast of dungeons that change every day!]
[Daily Dungeon: Kendert Forest (11 hours)]
[Collect various rare materials!]
[Exploration Dungeon]
[NO ACCESS! Clear the 10th floor of the main dungeon.]
‘As expected, it was opened.’
The mirror in the middle, which had been painted gray, regained its color.
It was the passage of the daily dungeon.
“Are you fighting with me?”
“So, your name is…”
“My name is Owen.”
He was a common middle-aged man you see everywhere.
He is looking at me with a nervous expression.
“If it’s your strength, I don’t think we’ll be of much help…”
“Hold on to your worries. You don’t have to fight.”
“Then I hope.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean just watching.
The mirror in the middle began to glow.
When the light went out, we were in an unfamiliar forest.
[‘Party 4’ entered the daily dungeon, Kendert Forest (lowest level). They will collect the ingredients and come back!]
[Tips/The type of dungeon varies depending on the date. Please check it out!]
“Where are the enemies? Is it a special mission like the 5th floor?”
Jenna looked around with a sharp face.
I pulled Jenna’s cheek.
“Mahah, Geohaehyo!”
“It’s funny, why?”
“She’s crying!”
“This is a place called the Daily Dungeon. It’s a place to gather ingredients.”
I looked around.
An unidentified circle with a radius of about 3 m is swaying behind his back. It shimmered with iridescent light and distorted the surrounding space.
“What, what, this?”
“Hmm.”
I threw a small pebble into the space.
[‘Han (★)’ collects ‘garbage (F)’.]
[Tips/No crap needed. Throw it away.]
He snapped a large branch from a nearby tree.
I threw the cut branches.
[‘Han (★)’ gathers ‘twigs’.]
[Tips/Twig items can be processed into wood by gathering 100 of them. However, a carpentry shop is required.]
“I get it.”
“What? Please explain to me too.”
“Throw the materials you’ve gathered there. Things like tree branches. Then they’ll be piled up in the warehouse. We’ll make an item out of it.”
I broke off another twig and threw it.
[‘Han (★)’ gathers ‘twigs’.]
“Are you really done with that?”
I nodded.
While the three of them were bewildered, they broke off nearby tree branches and began tossing them at the portal. A system message immediately came to mind.
In fact, you need tools like an ax or a saw for smooth farming here. Even if you break a thousand twigs, it is less than one log. But since Amkena didn’t lift the tool, she can’t help it.
“Really, is that enough? No need to fight?”
“You’re different. Just follow me.”
“Sheesh, I thought I was hungry for the first time in a while.”
The three of them rubbed their chests as if somewhat relieved.
This kind of labor would be much better than fighting monsters in blood. We left the three of them alone and headed into the forest.
“Where are you going?”
“To hunt.”
“Hunting? Which one? Wild boar? Deer? Rabbit? Will we finally be able to eat meat!”
“It’s not that hunt…”
“Finally found!”
Jenna’s eyes lit up and she suddenly started running.
“Wait, meat!”
Jenna ran from tree to tree. In her right hand, she is holding a bow loaded with arrows.
I followed Jenna.
Jenna was making her way quickly, jumping over tree vines and through the grass, but not too far behind.
Far away, near a beautiful tree, a deer is grazing.
The deer, which was munching on the grass, found Jenna and jumped in amazement. But in an instant, one of Zena’s arrows lodged in the deer’s leg.
Jenna jumped over the tangled branch with a triangle jump. I slashed the branches at once with my sword and followed them. Not far away, a deer was walking with a limp.
“sorry!”
With a face that didn’t feel sorry at all, Jenna put an arrow through the deer’s neck.
The deer let out a plaintive scream and sprawled across the grass. Jenna smacked her lips as she watched her fallen deer.
“It must be delicious.”
“…”
“Don’t you think so too? That chewy texture, bursting gravy! If you grill it, it’s a quick meal!”
‘Well, that’s right.’
No matter how good Chloe’s cooking skills were, potatoes alone were not enough.
“You, don’t you know how to slaughter?”
“Of course. It’s been years since I’ve noticed.”
Jenna pulled a dagger from the belt at her waist. As she cut her blade against the carotid artery of her deer, her blood gushed out.
“After draining the blood like this, I peel off the skin and remove the intestines. After that, you can cut it to make it easier to eat.”
“Separate all the ingredients and put them in the portal. Don’t miss it.”
“Where are you going?”
“Go to business.”
“Then me too!”
“You hunt. I’m tired of eating only potatoes. If it’s hard to carry the ingredients alone, call them. It’s a hundred times better than branches.”
“Old write!”
It was a little annoying, but I decided to hunt alone.
Leaving Jenna skillfully skinning a deer, I went into the woods. A rabbit looked this way and pricked up her ears. ignored and moved on
What you need to find is
‘The Queen of the Forest.’
It is a rare monster that appears in dungeons in the forest every day of the week.
The lower attribute stones he possesses become materials for advancement. Although not always there. I knew the approximate spawn location. If you go to the middle of the forest, you will see a valley.
Just in time, I found a valley.
I drew my sword and shield. I walked slowly upstream along the valley, keeping an eye on my surroundings. There were also rabbits and wild boars drinking water, but they were ignored. As we went upstream, the forest grew thicker and darker.
I checked the remaining time at the top of my sight.
[32:45]
30 minutes left At the end of that time, it will return automatically.
catch in it In addition to the attribute stones here, you need to collect two more materials from dungeons on other days of the week.
‘found.’
There was a guy where the valley formed a small puddle.
Its appearance is similar to that of a deer, but it has large horns on its forehead. Its huge body was enough to believe that it was a rhinoceros. A doe with horns. Beside him stood two stags, two heads smaller than him, lined up as if escorting him.
[Forest Queen Lv.10]
level 10.
I counted while hiding behind a tree.
three.
two.
one!
jumped out of the tree and ran.
Her gaze met that of a stag that was leisurely drinking water.
Pooh!
A deer with a deep cut in its throat was lying around. Another stag pointed his antlers at me. I removed the horns with a shield and put a sword around my neck.
After killing the two deer in an instant, I lightly brushed off the blood from the tip of my sword.
“I killed all your boyfriends, don’t you feel bad?”
Purung.
The deer snorted wordlessly.
“Come on.”
