26. Paid 5x Gacha (1)
a few days later
[Form a party.]
[Drag and drop heroes!]
[‘Dica(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
Dika joined the main party.
“i look forward to!”
Dicka bowed her head to me with a firm expression.
After the deaths of Gide and Hansson, he was depressed for a while, but he seemed to have recovered somehow. These days, he has been participating in training along with Aaron and me.
The sky is shining.
It meant that the master was connected.
“Today is not a day of the week dungeon.”
Aaron straightened the spear nervously.
The members called by Isel are me, Jenna, Aaron, and Dika. It could be said that he was the main combatant in the current waiting room.
Dika was weak compared to me, but better than the other members. Most of them were staying on the first floor.
When going to dungeons every day of the week, sub members were mixed, so even these guys could see the master’s intentions.
[Open the space-time gap!]
The door in the center of the plaza opened with a bang.
Tension appeared on the faces of the group. Even Jenna, who was always relaxed, had a hard expression on her face.
“What are you so afraid of?”
“The 5th floor wasn’t that hard. I thought I was going to die.”
Aaron wept.
“Don’t worry. Nothing special this time.”
“Is that true?”
“……Really.”
“Looks like there’s a gap in your answer!”
There is little chance that a high-difficulty mission will take place in the sub-stage, but it cannot be 100% certain. That was the rule of Pick Me Up.
I took a step inside.
Three soon followed.
I didn’t fill the prescribed party, but it doesn’t matter.
I took a light deep breath.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 5]
The mirror on the left in the space-time gap began to glow.
It was a signal announcing the entry of the main dungeon. Tension rose again in the complexion of the party members. In particular, Dika was trembling as she clenched her sword and shield.
How Gide and Hansson died was not disclosed.
Soon the light went out and we entered an unfamiliar place.
[Floor 6.]
[Mission Type – Exploration]
[Goal – Search an unfamiliar place!]
‘Fields are forests.’
it’s an exploration
Another rare mission appeared.
Once I looked around.
The enemy is invisible. There was only a field of grass swaying in the wind.
“Tongue, older brother. I can’t see the enemy. This can’t be like the 5th floor…!”
“quiet.”
Aaron nodded his head, becoming a honeyed mute.
“Don’t raise your voice. Everyone lower your head and bow down.”
“…”
“I told you to duck, I didn’t tell you to lie down.”
The party members stood up awkwardly.
“There’s nothing special here, so relax. If you fulfill the conditions, you can break free.”
“yes.”
“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”
After having the three hide in the grass, I fell to the side of the road.
After a while, I felt like I was blocked. It was a point of no pass.
‘It’s a straight map.’
Follow the path through the middle of the field and you’ll reach the event point. Returning, I instructed the party to proceed off the road.
“Are you sneaking somewhere?”
Jenna said as she removed a blade of grass from her hair.
We made our way, hiding in the grass by the side of the road.
Jenna, who has the best eyesight, took the lead, followed by me.
“It’s similar.”
“This is not my temper.”
Gossiping, Jenna made her way through the grass.
Soon after, a guest appeared.
Three goblins stood in a circle on the road.
“Keru, Kyaarlak!”
“Kira, Kiraroro!”
The goblins were chatting among themselves.
‘What is he saying now.’
They were different from the goblins they had fought.
Muscles were attached to his thin wrists, and his body grew. The clothes that were no different from being naked have also changed. She was clad in flimsy leather armor and wielded a sharp-edged sword and shield.
[Goblin Lv.8 X 3]
“Is it okay if I kill them, brother?”
Aaron gripped the spear tightly.
“wait.”
I looked at the goblin’s outfit again.
A small horn hung from a leather belt around his waist.
I pointed to a tree by the grass and said.
“Jenna. See that tree over there?”
“Yes, I can see it.”
“Climb up to the top of the tree and see what’s there.”
Jenna quickly climbed the tree.
Jenna returned after a while.
“It looks like there’s a goblin colony. There’s a building inside the fence, and there’s a lot of them gathered inside.”
“How many?”
“Well. About a hundred?”
composition was identified.
It was a trap pattern of sorts.
Unaware heroes follow the road, encounter goblins, and immediately engage in a fight. It’s always been like that in previous stages.
“Jenna, the goblin on the far right. When you signal, shoot and kill.”
“yes.”
“Aaron, if I lure you in, put a spear in his head.”
“All right.”
“you…….”
Dicka looked at me with expectant eyes.
“If the situation arises, help us.”
“yes…….”
I want to give him a role, but there is nothing left.
Exploration gives almost no experience anyway.
I lay down and picked up a small pebble that was rolling in the grass.
puck.
The pebble hit the back of the head of the goblin who was standing awkwardly.
“key?”
The stoned goblin walked towards the grass with a puzzled face.
Tuk-tuk.
I weakly tapped the dirt floor with the scabbard.
Sensing the sound, the goblin came closer. By the time the goblin’s familiar smell came to her nose.
“now!”
Zena’s arrow pierced the rightmost goblin’s forehead.
Aaron’s spear pierced the goblin’s face in the grass from the front.
The remaining goblins freaked out and pulled out their horns.
Jumping out of the grass, I ran and hit the goblin in the face with my shield. The goblin tried to somehow catch and blow on his horn, even as he splattered his broken teeth.
“I’m sorry…!”
I kicked the horn and drove the sword into my left chest. The goblin slumped, unable to even scream.
When the sword was drawn, sticky blood clung to it.
“Shut up, are you done?”
Dicka came out of the grass.
A look of bewilderment was evident on his face.
“Roughly.”
After answering, I brushed off the blood from the blade.
All three goblins became corpses. No one had succeeded in blowing the horn. I said, touching the horn lying on the floor with my foot.
“If you let this flute play, reinforcements will come in droves from the village earlier. Then it must have been quite annoying.”
If you thought it was a subjugation mission and rushed at it, a trap would be triggered.
A message appears indicating that the mission has been completed.
[Stage cleared!]
[Reward – 5,000G]
[MVP – ‘Han(★)’]
Gradually, the light began to surround the body.
“Oh, is it over already?”
Jenna blinked.
We were slowly engulfed in light and disappearing.
“It’s not over yet.”
I ran down the road
Before returning to the plaza, there are things you need to know.
Why is this mission called Search?
‘Get information.’
This is because hints for the next stage are given.
Since exploration appeared, it cannot be a single mission.
It’s a random configuration, but nothing is unpredictable.
Based on the previous missions, I could indirectly know what fields and missions would appear based on the background and environment.
Exploration is nothing more than a gratuitous task for beginners, but it is different for experts.
I ran at full speed and looked around.
The body is slowly fading. I had to get as many hints as possible in it.
indeed. No matter how much I ran, the front was not blocked.
A scene caught my eye through the jagged trees on either side of the road.
It was a flimsy wooden fence about 5m long, and in between the gaps, shabby huts were huddled together. Dozens of goblins roamed around the hut.
‘It’s a goblin village.’
It is the town that Jenna saw.
I ignored it and continued running. Soon after, a second goblin colony appeared.
‘Is it a goblin mass habitat?’
In this village, goblins were dragging wolves.
If a goblin rides on that wolf, it becomes a goblin rider. Due to its unique mobility, it was quite a troublesome individual among the Goblin series.
“key!”
I just happened to meet a goblin’s eyes.
The goblin ran towards me with a life force, but collided with a transparent wall and collapsed.
I can’t go there either, but he can’t come here either.
Right now, that village is just a background that can’t be interfered with, but it won’t be in the next mission.
I continued running along the road.
Soon the forest was cleared and the plains emerged.
My eyesight was clear, so it became clear. The entire forest was a goblin colony.
Maybe it feels more like an outpost than a village. The goblins were busily preparing something, such as making weapons, wearing armor, and taming wolves.
Dozens of goblins cling to the borders of the map.
They screamed strangely at me from inside the wall.
didn’t care much I’ve seen enough of this.
The body is on the verge of disappearing completely.
I upped the pace a notch.
Running at full speed, he soon found a city built in the distance.
And right away
I returned to the space-time gap.
“Why did you run alone?”
“Let’s go look outside.”
I got as much information as I could get.
Now, based on the scene we just saw, it was time to predict the theme of the linked quest and devise a strategy.
It is to catch what is commonly referred to as a ‘clear estimate’.
In the case of a special dungeon that pops up without any warning, you have no choice but to send out an advance party and try it, but in the main dungeon, hints often come out.
The flow of linked quests that starts before exploration is called a stream.
Analyzing the stream was also a master’s competency.
‘It’s frustrating.’
I don’t know if what I saw was conveyed well to Amkena.
Even if he knew, it wouldn’t be much to do at this point when facilities and heroes were lacking.
I didn’t think it was time for the stream to come out yet, but it came sooner than expected.
When I came out to the plaza, Chloe came running in a hurry.
It was a strangely restless gaze.
“Ha, Mr. Han, I’m in big trouble!”
“What?”
Chloe is busy preparing more than 10 meals a day, and rarely comes out to the plaza.
The big brown eyes were shaking.
“What’s up, sister Chloe?”
“Well, that’s… strange people came…”
“Have strange people come once or twice?”
It seemed that Amkena did a draw while we were out on missions.
In addition to the 10-string draw I did last time, Amkena would often bring in one or two 1-star heroes.
Still, the mission is in progress, but I’m not picking it up.
I frowned.
To be distracted while doing the main dungeon. It’s a bad habit.
“I think they’re a bit different. They’ve got weapons, and they’re in a weird mood.”
Chloe said with a tearful smile.
“Isel!”
[what’s the matter?]
“Show me the system logs between my missions.”
[Okay, wait!]
A system message immediately surfaced.
It is outputting things of the past.
He instructed the woodworking shop to process tree branches and dispatched a sub-party of three to the second floor. and.
I read the log slowly.
[If you want something right now, pay now!]
[Mobius supports the Master’s choice!]
[You have selected ‘Newbie Poten Package!’]

[All this for only 50,000 won!]
[This amount will be added to the next month’s mobile phone bill. Are you sure you want to pay?]
[Yes / No]
It was Amkena’s second charge.
The 5,000 gems I got from the last package were blown away by constructing facilities.
[Payment completed!]
