123. All or Nothing (1)
In Pick Me Up, a lot of contents are opened every time you go up 10 floors.
Basically, a new area of the exploration dungeon is opened, facility restrictions are lifted, and the hero’s level limit is increased. It was a way to add a few features here.
[※ Information on additional content]
[Master, congratulations on clearing the 30th floor!]
[You have now become a full-fledged master. Now, no one will ignore the Master as a beginner, right? Please keep working hard!]
[A new daily dungeon has been opened.]
[The third exploration dungeon, ‘Kaia’, has been opened.]
[Additional facilities have been opened. Please see help.]
[The sector of ‘Taoni’ in the waiting room will be changed.]
[Affiliated Sector: 95513 -> 88347]
[Current Coordinates – 188.347.447.935]
[‘Ruins’ appear from the 8th grade sector!]
[Tips/You can get jewels and various rare items from the ruins. Jewels can be exchanged for a certain amount of gems.]
Every 10 floors, the master’s area, that is, the sector, changes.
It was a way to strike a balance so that low levels and high levels would not collide in the same area.
Of course, every time you go up a zone, new content comes out. In the case of the 30th floor, you can get rewards by sending a party to the ruins or airships to explore.
‘Even if there is an airship.’
There is no way.
It will be difficult to make too.
Numerous materials, high research levels and airship technicians, enormous necessary funds and production period are bonuses, and in order to properly operate them, a 4-star hero of the magician class is required. Amkena, who has just taken off her beginner tee, has not yet been able to surpass the airship.
As a result,
It meant that the situation was not different from before opening the dimensional gap.
Too bad.
Airships can play a big role in missions, and you can also resupply gems from ruins.
It was also possible to interact smoothly with other masters. The play before and after having it is different like any other game.
[Pick Me Up!]
[Welcome to Dimension Cafe!]
Amkena then entered the dimensional cafe from the right side of the screen.
Trade bulletin board
<※Caution!>
<This is a place to post articles related to trading or rental. Other content may be deleted without permission.>
<Only masters of level 20 or higher can write and view.>
Post 9483125
<Trust and entrust rental airship, Sigrill!>
<Yum yum gulp (signed – dimensional coordinates 153.***.***.***)>
[Aircraft rental specialty store!]
[You, no way… … No rain?]
[You want to escape? We professionally rent large, medium and small airships! Please contact us for further inquiries. KakaoTalk ID is… … .]
Amkena entered the dimensional cafe and started reading articles about airship rentals.
Of course, there are no suitable conditions. The rental fee is excessively expensive, and in case of damage, all damages must be covered. Also, we do not lend without a guarantee. If there is no magician, the burden becomes even more severe.
Eventually, Amkena closed the window.
[Master, do you want to close the connection?]
[Yes / No]
[Then goodbye!]
The sky darkened.
“Senior, what are you looking at?”
I looked back
Belquist was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
“I tried to hang out with him, but he was only looking at the wall.”
Belquist tossed the used towel into the basket.
It’s just the two of us at the training camp, Belquist. After clearing the 30th floor, we had a little break. Except for the practice maniacs like Belquist, the heroes did not go to work at the training center today.
‘It’s an airship.’
nice to have
But that doesn’t mean there’s no problem.
There was no need to rush. You’ll get it naturally when you climb the tower anyway.
“Shall we go?”
I got up.
As I put my hand on the scabbard, I went up to the arena as if Belquist had waited.
[Master, unverified channel chat confirmed.]
[Do you want to confirm?]
[Yes / No]
[Tips/What is a channel?]
[Masters located in the same sector can communicate with each other through channels.]
Looks like they left without checking.
Amkena was consistently ignoring all messages, including channel chats.
‘I understand, but there’s nothing like that too much.’
I stopped.
The option to request a response was flashing blue.
“This will leak me.”
“Go, go. Don’t bother.”
I sighed and stepped up to the arena.
and that morning.
I called Issel to the room.
[what’s the matter?]
Issel came wearing pajamas and a cone hat.
In his arms, he was holding a long pillow with ‘Ragnaroki’ written on it.
‘… … .’
Anyway, I decided to tell the business.
“Isel, I want to temporarily receive the master’s authority.”
[hmm? Permission?]
I nodded.
“I’m going to check some chats from someone else.”
I know it’s possible.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to create the item.
[Okay, if it’s Loki’s request!]
As Isel turned around, the nightgown and hat were gone.
Isel, who returned to his original outfit, gathered his spirits.
[Ha! Fairy Power!]
Flash!
The light from Isel’s hand seeped into me.
Verification completed. It would be difficult to play a key role such as synthesis or summoning, but this is enough.
[Master, unverified channel chat confirmed.]
[Do you want to confirm?]
[Yes / No]
When I tapped ‘Yes’, a chat screen popped up.
[88-347 channels]
Sine> Hello~
Cine> You’re new~ Nice to meet you~
Cine> I was bored here alone! That’s great.
Cine> Are you there? Are you Amken?
I spread my hands.
A virtual keyboard appeared on the screen.
Amkena> there is. hello.
Sine> (typing)
It seems you are online now.
Being a channel chat meant that this guy was a neighbor located in the same sector as Amkena.
Sine> Nice room~ I’m a jukdol here, but. did you just come? I saw it all *^^*
Amkena> Yes.
“Isel, the map of the sector now.”
[Alas!]
A hologram appeared on the left side of my vision.
[Level 8 Sector (88347)]
A checkerboard-style map is spread out starting from the small tower in the center.
As I slid the edge of the screen with my left hand, another tower painted in gray appeared. It was another master’s waiting room.
‘gray.’
The meaning is simple.
Long-term inactive.
In a word, it is folded.
‘There are 100 masters assigned to one sector.’
Looking around here, looking around there, everything is gray.
I smiled bitterly.
Sine> There’s no one else here, so it’s very lonely.
Sine> I hope Amkena-nim doesn’t fold. I’ve been talking to you because I wanted to help you.
Sine> I did a lot of farming, so there are quite a few leftover materials.
oops
came straight to the point.
Sine> I want to know the coordinates, can you tell me? I’ll shoot you right away.
Seen> If you click on the right side of the menu, there is something to check. Please let me know.
Amkena> Wait a minute.
I turned the wheel of the chair.
Issel had a serious expression on his face.
[This guy… … .]
“You’ll know when you see it.”
I muttered.
“You’re a hunter.”
In other words, it is called Hogu Hunter.
Pretending to help like this, after recognizing the coordinates, he shakes it off.
People who haven’t played games much get caught easily.
‘There are many gray accounts nearby.’
It seems that they have already pulled out and ate what they were going to eat.
It was a friendly tone of voice, but of course it was a play.
[Ignore that guy! It’s not worth answering. We can do whatever we want.]
Issel sighed and turned his head.
“…”
[Loki?]
I looked at the map of the sector again.
The proportion of folded users is significant. There are also accounts that are not gray, but the color is muted.
A master with sparse access. There is a term for a place where things are not good like this.
‘Is it a bad sector?’
Of course, there are also kind masters who really want to help other users.
If such people are assigned to many sectors, they can grow with full support. It doesn’t seem like it here, but it is.
Cine> Hey there?
Sine> Please reply ^^:
Amkena> Wait a minute.
[Why are you dealing with me? Should I tell you?]
“Wait. I’m thinking about it.”
I reviewed the rules for PVP.
If you know the dimensional coordinates, an invasion by airships becomes possible. But is it unconditionally protected just because you don’t tell us? that wasn’t it again eventually break through
‘hmm.’
I took the file out of the drawer.
I listened to the data I recorded about the PVP players, hunters, and methods of Pick Me Up.
‘Hunting on the 30th floor.’
It was a rare species.
First of all, it is not easy to find airships on the 30th floor. If yes, one of three. Good luck, heavy billing, or a strong high-level back.
‘Either way it’s annoying.’
Sine> It’s difficult if you keep ignoring me… … .
Cine> I really want to meet you. Don’t let me know, I’ll find it soon ^^;
This baby.
It is explicit.
Amkena> I’m sorry. I’ve been told to be careful.
Cine> Worried a lot lol.
Amkena> I want to have an airship too, what should I do?
Cine> Isn’t the design a little tight? i have a few Shall I send it to you?
[Loki, no way… … ?]
“Delete the log when this chat is over.”
[Now, wait a minute, wouldn’t it be better to decide in the presence of the Master? I don’t have a master right now… … !]
“It’s better not to.”
I looked at the index finger of my left hand.
‘If it comes anyway.’
Better right now than getting stabbed in the back of the head on a mission.
hit enter
Amkena> I saw the coordinates. I’m not sure what it is.
Cine> Please tell me only 6 digits after that~
Amkena> Ah. It says 447.935.
Sine> Then Amkena’s coordinates are 188.347.447.935!
Sine> He said he wanted a blueprint. I’ll send you about 3 small ones. Basic materials are also included.
Amkena> Thank you!
Cine> See you later~
[Master ‘Sine’ has ended the chat.]
I clicked the ‘X’ at the top.
The channel chat window was closed. Isel was looking at me with bewildered eyes.
[Even though!]
“are you okay.”
There are not a few cases where the master is attacked while he is away.
In that case, the hero automatically defends. He will not be suspected.
“I remember the old days.”
I chuckled.
There are countless masters who have been steadily carrying out their mission in Pick Me Up, but have been frustrated in the middle. They are usually divided into two categories. The first is users who enjoy SimCity without giving up on climbing altogether. The second are professional hunters who go out to PVP.
Once started, they cannot forget the taste.
There was only one way to deal with it.
I got up from my chair.
The current time is 11:43 PM.
‘I have about an hour to spare.’
“Isel, I’ll leave it to you.”
[but… … .]
“Don’t worry.”
clap.
I put the scabbard on my belt.
“I’ve never lost a dog fight.”
opened the door and went out
The drawing room of the 1st Party Hostel is empty.
After lighting the lantern, I placed the ringing bell on the table.
It was a paging bell made in case of an emergency.
“What is it? Why all of a sudden…”
The hallway door opened, and Jenna walked out.
Next to them, Nerissa and Iolka also appeared.
All three of them looked bewildered.
“They’re coming. Get ready.”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Did you eat something wrong?”
“……Is it an invasion?”
Nerissa’s eyes sank.
“It’s nice to be quick-witted. You know what to do next, right?”
“I will call the leaders of all parties.”
“Jenna tells the assistants. Lock yourself in the dorm and never come out.”
“Oh, okay!”
Nerissa quickly walked out of the drawing room.
Jenna also hurriedly followed behind. Iolka looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.
“What the hell is going on?”
“I told you once before. Guys from other waiting rooms might come.”
“You mean that time is now?”
“that’s right.”
Iolka let out a deep sigh.
“Really… I don’t have time to rest.”
“It’s like this.”
“If we lose…”
“I won’t lose.”
I looked up.
It’s like announcing Master’s disconnection. The sky was dark.
‘Do you want to have an airship?’
Airship is a high-level item that requires a lot of time, skill, and money.
However, there is one very simple way to achieve this.
‘I’ll make one for you.’
With something sleazy.
I smiled and left the drawing room.
