242. Play some games (3)
I sat down in the plaza of the waiting room and exchanged various stories with Cadia.
If I was sitting there, he would just talk one-sidedly. Cadia even recited her own identity without asking her.
‘It’s noisy.’
It seemed that Jinho-chan was still playing the game.
the battery is scarce.
“So, where are you from?”
“Taoni.”
“Taoni? It’s the first place I’ve heard of.”
“Of course. It’s not in the Ram or something you live in. I’m from another world. I’m going to be here for a while and then go back.”
Cadia widened her eyes.
I said with a smile.
“It’s not a colleague to fight with you. Keep in mind.”
“Uh, then…”
“There are tens of millions of places like this here. I just started on one of them before you.”
“I don’t understand. There are tens of millions of places like this?”
Cadia looked around the plaza and said.
It seemed pretty confusing. Well, there is no way I can help you.
Trying to explain would only add to the dizziness.
‘Let’s watch for now.’
I took the bifrost from the scabbard.
Jigsaw Jigsaw! When the blade of the sword was attached to the floor of the plaza, dark red lightning began to bounce violently.
[※alarm!]
[Your permission is being requested.]
Bifrost itself is the crystal of interference power.
There, Issel took some action.
If it’s a newly created chick account… … .
[Teeling!]
[Master, the hero is waiting for your instructions!]
A hologram window appeared on the right side of the field of view.
It was Jinho-chan’s control screen. This guy had almost no security because his level was low. It was easily breached with basic hacking.
I returned the bifrost to the scabbard, ignoring Cadia, who looked at me blankly.
“Didn’t you say you received a revelation from the goddess?”
“Ah, yes! If you want to return to your hometown, join forces with your friends to save Ram.”
“Right.”
At least 4 adults.
Jinho-chan seems to be pretty lucky too.
Tztz. I clicked my tongue and pressed my butt to the floor. Cadia approached and persistently asked what she was doing, but I kept my mouth shut.
It was more than two hours later that Jinho-chan started his activities.
Upon entering the game screen, Jinho-chan went straight to the mission tab.
rattle.
The gate leading to the gap in time and space was wide open.
Cadia, who was chattering like a sparrow, looked away.
“It’s a signal! I’ll be back, mister.”
“…”
“But… are you really not coming?”
“Even if I wanted to go, I couldn’t.”
“Yes! I’m coming!”
Cadia answered vigorously, tidied up her clothes, and then jumped into the space-time gap.
The gate in the center of the plaza shut silently.
‘A one-person party even on the 4th floor?’
It’s not about a simple game.
There is no free lottery, let alone paid lottery with summon tickets.
No items were drawn, no facilities were created. It’s all about sending basic heroes on missions.
After completing the instructions, Jinho-chan went into a long hibernation again.
I sighed.
‘… … .’
I pulled the bifrost one more time.
When I put my sword back on the floor, dark red lightning bolted up.
What you’re doing this time isn’t hacking. When the current got stronger to some extent, I grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and drove it deep into the ground.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
[Ughyagyakyam!]
A little girl jumped out of the air with stardust.
Issel fell to the floor of the plaza and began convulsing.
[Joe, Johnber! Joonbao!]
Isel, who had been rolling around screaming strangely, stood up.
Issel opened her eyes sharply and glared at me.
[What, you! It was the peak selling time!]
Hair messed up like a magpie house.
A black plastic box was worn around the waist.
Smoke billowed through the cracks in the box.
[Oh, wait!]
Suddenly, Issel opened the lid of the plastic box.
Inside the box was a bunch of rectangular parts with wires connected to them. Soon I noticed that it was a miniaturized graphics card.
[Why isn’t the fan running? Go, is it broken? no way! breakdown… … is it me?]
“…”
[Aaaaaaaaagh! My Freedom XY-46!]
Isel sat down and started shaking her head.
[This bastard dared to destroy my Freedom XY-46!]
Beep.
Isel’s wristwatch, which was glaring at me, sounded an alarm.
[Ah, it’s already trading time… … . Let’s see, I know I won’t leave you alone if I escape from here!]
“…”
[Then this… … .]
I pulled Isel’s back.
Isel, who was about to enter somewhere, fell to the floor once more.
“Where are you going?”
In the past, I had to watch Isel disappear after saying his own words, but now it’s different.
“It’s your account, but isn’t it too sincere? I’ve come to help you, but I can’t see you pecking my nose.”
[Come to think of it, they said dispatch was coming.]
Isel looked up blankly at me.
Then I closed my eyes.
[go back.]
“hmm?”
[Go back. Because it’s ruined. Can’t you just look at it? The Master has no intention of playing the game at all. That bastard, he’s playing another game with Pick Me Up on!]
Are you playing another game?
I looked up.
The sky was shining, but the control window was still motionless.
[You shouldn’t have installed it if you had any intentions to do it right. I, who graduated from a fairy school with excellent grades, is in a situation where I have to stick to coin only… … .]
Issel cried.
[anyway! I’m busy, so don’t touch me! I have to make money and get out of here! And the Freedom XY-46 you destroyed! I’ll definitely go get my money back later! Then this… … .]
I jumped on Isel’s feet as she tried to run away.
Issel slammed his face into the square floor.
[ugh!]
“The talk isn’t over yet.”
[What, do you have anything else to say?]
Issel turned to me and rubbed her red nose.
“If you’re not playing the game, you should investigate why.”
[reason? Need a reason not to play? I’m just not having fun… … .]
“I don’t think so.”
I chuckled.
Well, as Isel said, I did a tutorial, but it’s not to my taste, so I can fold it.
I admit that Pick Me Up is a game that takes a lot of taste. If you’re not having fun, you can’t stop. But there’s nothing suspicious about it.
“If you don’t want to do it, you can just leave, but why don’t you leave it on?”
I mentioned it in a conversation with Amkena.
My friends say it’s a game of luck, so they just curse and it doesn’t seem fun to them.
If so, I would have disconnected and deleted the game as soon as I finished the tutorial.
‘It’s a trivial question.’
If it’s trivial, it can be trivial.
But I have a feeling that something is not right.
[joy! I don’t care what that guy thinks. money is the best money is the best I’m going to make a lot of money and start anew with a cool master like Loki. If you know, don’t look for it. Then this… … .]
I brought the blade of Bifrost to Isel.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
[Uah gyaga aya gyakya!]
The effect is direct.
Isel began to flutter like a freshly caught carp.
“Whoever wants to.”
[My Freedom XY is… … .]
The coin mining machine that Isell was wearing next to him was completely destroyed.
The rest of the overheated wires and components were stuck.
“I want this. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone who refuses to help me. Isn’t that what I want you to do?”
I kicked the box of Freedom XY-46.
The remains of the shattered graphics card lay scattered around.
[Ah, the devil… … .]
“Don’t coin. I’m giving you my heartfelt advice.”
[Other than this… … I have no means of earning money… … . You have to earn money to do samba-samba to the top of the head… … You can change the waiting room in charge… … .]
Issel started sniffing while hugging the broken coin mining machine.
[Obviously the director… … I was told that I would be paired with a very good master… … .]
“I was fooled, what?”
[Don’t talk like it’s someone else’s business! you you! You must have destroyed my Freedom XY-46 Super Strike Custom! Now that it has come to this, the dispatch and the muk bowl… … .]
Paperweight!
[Ooogieah!]
It was exactly what Isel said in Taoni.
I can’t come to my senses.
“I’m going to light the cause. I need you to help me.”
[No, I… … .]
As I pulled out the blade halfway, Isel’s face turned purple.
[How are you asking for help? My master level is low, so I don’t have much strength… … .]
“Use this for the lack of interference.”
Charleuk.
I threw Bifrost at Isel’s feet.
Issel smiled in repentance.
[It’s like an idiot. Without this sword, you are my food… … .]
I snapped my fingers, and electricity bounced off the distant Bifrost’s blade.
“What did you say?”
[…] … nothing.]
“Find Jinho-chan’s phone history. If he’s playing other games, what he’s doing. What he did before installing Pick Me Up. Find out who he talked to on KakaoTalk. Search and report it within an hour. Don’t even think about doing anything.”
[Ugh, ugh… … .]
Isel made a statue to die for, and hesitantly hugged Bifrost.
And disappeared with the star dust.
Alone again, I turned my gaze to the door in front of the plaza.
It seems that Cadia is still carrying out her mission on the 4th floor. Without knowing what kind of situation he was in, he must be fighting monsters hard.
‘How many waiting rooms have disappeared.’
That number would be in the tens of millions.
Well, that doesn’t mean I’m too sentimental.
Just like when I was in Korea, I wasn’t too worried about Africa.
There are several questions about Jinho-chan’s behavior.
If this could be resolved, whether or not this waiting room would go bankrupt was irrelevant to me.
It was before Cadia came back.
Issel brought a report on Jinho-chan in less than an hour.
I slowly read the letters on the paper.
‘Is Hellground your main game?
Mobile games don’t seem to do well.
Pick me up didn’t seem to have the slightest interest.
‘Why install it if you’re not going to do it?’
Sorry for the data.
I turned the page to the next chapter.
There, Jinho-chan’s chat history from a few days ago on KakaoTalk was organized.
The name of the person I chatted with was… … .
‘aunt.’
aunt?
I blinked.
I decided to read it from the top.
Aunt> Jinho, are you sleeping? [12:02 am]
[12:03 am] No. What are you doing?
Aunt> Yes, my aunt has a request. can you hear me? [12:05 am]
The chat records of ‘Auntie’ and ‘Jinho-chan’ were spread out.
The conversation that started at midnight continued until 1:00 in the morning.
Aunt> I don’t think he listens to me. Jinho has been close with him since before. Can you convince me? [12:57 am]
[12:59 am] Okay. I’ll try to speak.
Aunt> I’ll give you a present if you succeed. Long padding is popular these days? Don’t you want a NuSpace? [1:00 am]
[1:01 am] Uh, really? I’ll try harder!
aunt> please *^^* Jinho fighting! [1:05 am]
The KakaoTalk chat ended here.
‘Is that how it happened?’
A few days ago, my aunt seemed to have consulted with Jinho-chan about her worries.
It’s about Amkena.
It is that Amkena, who is addicted to the game, neglects reality.
‘… … It’s a natural concern.’
If you’re in a parent’s position.
Aunt to Jinho-chan.
She was a mother to Amkena.
It’s like playing games all day.
I can’t sleep well and it seems like I’m having a hard time going to work.
If you look at the cupboard at home, you can find only boxes of ramen piled up.
I’m worried that the game might hurt my worries.
There are times when I forget to say good-bye to dinner every night.
Auntie also presented over 10 other concerns to Jinho-chan.
So, at the end, I was entrusted with a mission with a gift offensive.
‘Amkenaga… … .’
please let the game close
“It’s fun.”
In other words, is this guy an assassin?
Sent to get Amkena off Pick Me Up.
‘Are you going to disturb me?’
I crumpled up the report and threw it away.
whoever wants
