#178
178. Just for once (2)
A cold wind brushed the nape of his neck.
I narrowed my eyes. A dimensional vortex was raging in the distance. Beyond that, I could see the landscape of a huge city.
[Event Area!]
[Dimension City Helis]
A few days have passed since the event announcement was posted.
After setting up a basic strategy, we moved to participate in the event, and soon we were on our way to the event area.
I looked around.
In addition to the Capitalism we boarded, airships large and small are scattered everywhere. The airship’s fleet was spread out from right next to it, out of sight.
“There are a lot of airships!”
Jenna scratched her cheek.
“You have to be number one among these people. I don’t know if that will happen.”
“It’s fine if it works, and if it doesn’t work, don’t feel pressured.”
“I think the Master will be very scolding if I go back empty-handed.”
“What can I do?”
I chuckled.
I’ll do my best for now, but there’s always one thing.
I wouldn’t die at an event like this anyway, so I decided to enjoy it with a light heart. Jenna stretched her body and went inside her ship. She is going to match up with her members at the training center inside the airship.
‘There are three special events in Raid Festa.’
individual tournament.
team tournament.
one unknown.
Anyway, in order to get the 5-star Summon Ticket that Amkena wants and the top-notch Advent Stone I need, I must get a top prize in a special event.
‘Since there are five of us, the number is just right.’
One person in an individual match.
Three players in a 3-on-3 team match.
All you have to do is place the last man in the rest of the secret event. Members who finish the event quickly go around the city and challenge small sub-events. And after summing the points, get the reward. After all, that’s the scenario.
Woo woo woo.
My ears were ringing with the noise of countless airships.
Calculated as five people per airship, the number of people participating in the event is at least 1,000.
They will continue to flock even after we arrive.
It can be seen that all masters who can operate airships of level 40 in 2 servers are gathered.
‘It’s fortunate that high level people don’t come.’
Masters with a lot of 5-star or higher fall into higher dimensional cities.
That was fortunate. It’s worth it if you compete with people of similar level. There are many of them, but most of them are only tremors. I waited for the arrival while retracing the list of various games that had been played at Festa.
30 minutes later.
<You have arrived at your destination!>
I heard a broadcast from Radi, the mechanic of Taonier.
I opened my eyes. Capitalism, which had broken through the dimensional vortex, was entering the dock. Even if the size of the landing site is small, it is several kilometers. Hundreds of airships that had arrived earlier were taking their positions.
Whoops.
The Capitalism flew low and stopped in an empty parking lot.
rattle. The airship has come to a complete stop. The participating members of this event walked out onto the deck.
Me, Jenna, Belquist, Kishasha, and finally Edith from Party 2.
“What can I do?”
Radi, dressed in a mechanic’s uniform, pointed at himself and said.
“I’m playing in the right place. Good job guarding the airship.”
“Sure. Come on.”
clap.
Stairs came down from the airship railing.
I stepped down the stairs and stepped onto the ground of the dimension city.
“It looks peculiar. I’ve never seen buildings like this before.”
Edith murmured.
I guess so. Edith, of course, other members other than me would have never seen such a sight anywhere.
‘He played a funny prank.’
This time, the background was taken out of the modern city as it is.
Four-lane roads stretched out at right angles, and high-rise shopping malls and tall buildings rose like forests between the streets.
[Master, ‘Bring the ticket!’ The party has arrived at the event area!]
[The event screen is displayed in the ‘Festa!’ You can check it through the icon.]
[On the event screen, you can check the list of points earned, prizes, status and morale of heroes, and a list of events taking place in the city. Some of them require the help of a Master. Check carefully every time, get a high score! Cheers to the Master!]
[‘Festa Package Buff (Bonus Point + 30%)’ is being applied.]
“There are a lot of people. It’s annoying.”
Belquist frowned.
It was literally. The plaza outside the landing area is filled with no space to step on. Dozens of buses stopped on the road were busy carrying people, but there were more heroes pouring in.
buzz buzz.
My ears rang from the noise of the countless crowds.
“Let’s go! Line up one by one! Don’t cut in line! If you fight recklessly, we’ll kick you out right away!”
There were only a handful of people who stood out.
They were walking among the heroes, dressed in angular suits. A blue employee ID was hung around his neck.
‘Employees of Moebius… … is it?’
It seems like that once.
They came to an unfamiliar place, comforted and sometimes suppressed the heroes who were absent-minded, and put them on the bus. He also mediated between the heroes in dispute.
“There are too many people. The smell is…”
Kishasha vomited.
Edith winked at me and took the staggering Kishasha to a deserted place. Apparently, the order in which we get on the bus will be quite later.
“Brother, I brought you something that might help.”
Jenna held out a long, rectangular piece of paper to me.
I skimmed the text at the top.
<Dimensional City – Information Pamphlet>
<The background of this place is modeled after a city in a distant dimension… … With superior technology and convenience than Mobius… … .>
In the pamphlet, the background of the city, how to use the facilities, and a brief explanation of the vehicles were recorded.
“I guess they call that a bus. It’s a horseless carriage. It’s a business that moves on wheels and carries people.”
‘I know even if I don’t explain.’
I reluctantly nodded.
“Uh, it looks like we’re sleeping in a hotel. Meals are buffet… hmm?”
Jenna’s eyes lit up.
“To be able to take away delicious things as you please! This is so…”
“Are all the people here 4 stars?”
Belquist, who was still, cut off Jenna’s words.
Jenna held out a pamphlet to Belquist. Belquist, who took the pamphlet as if stealing it, looked at the notice.
“…it seems to be true.”
Belquist’s face distorted.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t think he’s very strong. If it’s a 4 star, isn’t everyone at least a beast boy?”
Belquist’s eyes moved.
I know where to look. Steps and walking postures, hands and gazes of nearby heroes. Belquist, who had an exceptional eye for detail, had the skill to guess the strength of a target just by looking at it.
“Awaken your dreams. That guy is at the top of the 4-star birth.”
I put my hand on Belquist’s head.
“That’s no fun.”
I don’t know if there is a 4-star party raised by a high-ranking master, but such a user almost falls into a high-level dimensional city. Most of the masters gathered here were at level 40. of course… … .
‘It’s just the majority, not all.’
I looked back
An airship of a different size from the small and medium-sized ones was descending to the landing site.
It is at least three times larger than the Capitalism. It was a large airship. A red emblem was stamped on the outer plate covered with white steel.
There are some masters who choose a snake’s head rather than a dragon’s tail.
that first appeared.
Judging from the equipment and size of the airship, the master of that airship was a user in the 60th floor.
Four-star heroes were descending from an airship the size of which could be seen from outside the landing pad.
“Look closely. Those guys are the real competitors.”
“That’s right. It wasn’t there at all.”
High-level masters began to appear one after another.
Most of the city’s rewards are taken away by them. The rest of the regular users would pick up and eat the bean curd after the high-levels cleaned it up before going back.
‘Five people.’
Masters who competed in 4-star events with high levels.
Perhaps their heroes are wearing all sorts of high-end equipment and engravings.
And it’s certain that the party is made up of only 4-star heroes, who are hard to get even by regular users.
It is impossible without a nuclear charge.
anyway,
It was through these events that I began to receive attention as a Master.
“……joy.”
The leader of the 4-star party who entered the plaza outside the pier sneered.
She wears silver armor with dazzling luster, and wears a jeweled rapier at her waist. She passed among the heroes confidently, fluttering her ponytail blonde hair.
“They fall.”
The woman said without hiding her emotions.
She was dressed in fancy silver armor. In addition to that precious 4 star, her master is several levels higher than the users here. She was the most important person in the waiting room, and since she was dispatched to the event, she must have enjoyed a position comparable to that of a king in her own domain.
“That older sister seems strong, but…”
“Does this make you feel bad?”
“Yes, what.”
Jenna didn’t really deny it.
I laughed and turned my back. It wouldn’t hurt to see the ending of that guy. Got a nice sight to see. When the square was half empty.
Boooung.
A special ride appeared on the four-lane road where only buses came and went.
It slid silently into the plaza and came to a halt at the entrance to the pier.
‘Why is that… … ?’
I frowned.
At first glance, the luxurious black limousine’s side door opened, and an elderly man dressed in a suit stepped out. An old man stood by the door with a dignified posture.
I looked to the side.
A blond woman who had been looking at the limousine with an interesting expression was approaching the old man.
the woman asked the old man.
“What is this?”
“This carriage is for special guests.”
“Nice. Our party will ride.”
“I’m sorry, but you are not eligible.”
The woman’s eyebrows curled.
“That’s funny. My master climbed to the 64th floor. I’m a sub member of the raid party. I think I’m qualified enough for this. More than all the junk gathered here. Isn’t it?”
“My lady, that’s too much to say. To catch it. Aren’t they all the same 4 stars?”
“All 4-stars are the same. We are 4-stars, and you guys are 1-star or 2-star.
“What, what…!”
The woman snorted and turned to the old man.
“Our party is here to win first place in this event. Of course we will. I think that has been explained at this point. So…”
“Again, you are not qualified.”
“It’s absurd. Then who’s riding?”
The old man pointed to the sky.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction the fingers were pointing.
An airship was entering.
The woman frowned.
Airships were not great. At best, it’s about the same as Capitalism. However, it has a completely different design from other airships. A sleek, streamlined body with a black sheen. The master’s emblem was embroidered on the side.
“It’s terribly smaller than our Arias. A hero aboard an airship like that of a killifish deserves it? That’s ridiculous.”
Woo woo woo.
The propellers rotating on both wings folded and the airship landed.
‘… … Such crazy.’
“He looks like he’s only about level 50. Let’s see. What a great person he is, so he deserves it. The emblem is a black goat… Hmm? A black goat?”
The woman’s eyes widened as she tilted her head.
“That black goat!”
The woman opened her mouth wide.
“What is a black goat?”
Belquist whispered to me.
I sighed. The side of the airship opened and the stairs descended.
From the stairs, heroes in black uniforms walked one after another.
Woo woo.
A horn sounded.
I’ve heard this sound before.
It was a sign announcing a certain ranker’s participation.
No, I haven’t heard of it.
‘Yurnet.’
I remembered the boy’s smiling face.
You did a pretty good job.
