Episode 167 Weapon Master (1)
I filled my stomach with snacks while walking around the street stalls.
The next destination was the game center that the calligrapher had been hoping for.
The game center, like other places, was so crowded that there was no room to even set foot.
Still, we didn’t give in and squeezed our way in, heading to the student-only corner in the inner corner.
Although the crowds have clearly thinned out since a lot of points go into mini games, this place is still much more crowded than it was two weeks ago.
But then the calligrapher’s steps suddenly stopped and he stared at one spot.
“Gunslinger Adventures… … .”
“It’s gone.”
The layout of the arcade machines has changed, and most of the games, including
Because it’s not just the prizes that are updated periodically.
Seo Ye-in, who was becoming increasingly gloomy, was being comforted by her positive boss, Ko Hyeon-woo, and I added a word.
“Haha, Miss Seo. Don’t be too upset. Aren’t there other things to enjoy?”
“Other things would be fun if you actually tried them.”
“huh…….”
“First, let’s look at the prize list.”
Setting new goals will help you feel more interested again.
– Scroll of Transparency – Jewelry
– Equipment reinforcement stone
– Rank Up (E)
– Grumpy teddy bear
… … .
A list that looks similar to two weeks ago, but is different.
At that time, there was [Random Rank Up] so I picked it up right away, but now I can’t see it.
It’s not a reward that appears very often.
Then, as a second best option,
‘I guess I need to rank up.’
[Airburst] purchased at the Graduate Market is relatively easy to rank up, but if you also rank up, you can shorten the time consumed even more.
I asked them both.
“What are you guys interested in?”
“Rank up.”
Go Hyun-woo is still thinking about it, and Seo Ye-in chose the same rank up as me.
It seems like you’re going to use it after raising [Bullet Time] to E, which isn’t a bad choice.
So how can I get this?
[Rank Up (E)]
▷Acquisition Condition 1: Achieve 20 kills or 15 assists in
▷Acquisition Condition 2: Death count less than 3 times
Go Hyun-woo, who was loitering nearby, asked.
“What kind of game is Weapon Master?”
“That.”
Among the newly placed arcade machines, one type takes up half of the student corner.
Daejeon survival game,
The simple rule is that players in the game wander around a designated space for a designated amount of time and fight enemies they encounter.
If you die, you can continue by putting the token back in, but of course, you have to buy the token for 300 points each, and if you die three times, you have to give up on your goal of [ranking up].
“It won’t be easy to get 20 kills or 15 assists with 2 deaths.”
Because it means that every time you die, you have to die 10 times.
The only good news is that this can also be done with a team of two.
If one guy is aiming for 20 kills and the other is aiming for 15 assists, that’s a perfect match.
“Can’t I join you?”
“It won’t work. There are two people in a group.”
“I see. Then I will proceed individually. I am very interested.”
“What should I get as a prize?”
Go Hyun-woo glanced at the list of prizes again and answered.
“I don’t have anything in mind, so this time I’m going to think of it as an experience and enjoy it.”
“That’s okay too.”
Just then, a game ended and there were a lot of empty seats.
The next contestants waiting around fill the empty spots.
The three of us also took three seats in a row.
First, let’s put the calligrapher in the token,
A large ‘?’ appeared on the screen, and quickly began to change into various silhouettes of people.
‘There’s a reason why it’s titled like this.’
The occupation and weapon of the character controlled by the player are determined randomly.
However, excluding the player’s own class.
For example, the calligrapher’s class is a musketeer, so long-range characters will never be affected.
Instead, a paladin might take it, a wizard might take it, or a priest might take it.
That’s why you’re a
The shape of the silhouette that had been changing rapidly became fixed and the character of the calligrapher was revealed.
A man with dark skin, a bald head and bulging muscles.
His clothes were half-off, and his whole body was covered in red, which I couldn’t tell if it was a tattoo or paint.
And in his hand he carries a crude sword, and on his waist he carries a hatchet.
The calligrapher became a barbarian, a savage warrior.
The barbarian on the screen shouted at the top of his lungs to make his presence known.
– Kwaaaaah—!
“… … !”
The calligrapher’s gray eyes sparkled.
I guess you liked it quite a bit.
That’s good, I guess it’s because interest has returned.
Then my character was decided.
A man with a skinny build and a hunched back like a shrimp.
The clothes he is wearing are similar to the calligrapher’s barbarian, and he is holding a long pipe in his mouth.
It looks similar to the slim one seen at the Feathered Serpent Altar.
‘Barbarian poisoner.’
If you are hit by the poison, you will suffer from various status effects, such as the screen becoming blurred, the screen being reversed, or your movements becoming slow.
This character focuses on controlling enemies rather than defeating them.
Of course, there is a condition that I have to hit the needle, but who am I?
‘You are the king of mini games.’
And with this, each person’s role was decided.
“You kill and I’ll fish.”
“huh.”
The calligrapher nodded.
Meanwhile, on Go Hyun-woo’s screen, a pretty female magician wearing elegant and neat clothes appeared.
As she swings her staff, a blizzard swirls around her.
Go Hyun-woo let out an exclamation.
“Oh, you’re a wizard. I’ve always wondered about it, and now I have the chance to experience it.”
“Be careful. That body is really weak.”
“Haha, I’ll be careful.”
The screen quickly changed to show that all the participants’ characters had been decided, and the next moment, the calligrapher and I were standing inside a large ruins.
Torches are burning here and there, dimly illuminating the surroundings.
And the scoreboard at the very bottom of the screen shows the number of kills/deaths/assists.
[Serbarian 0K/0D/0A]
[Kim Dok-chim 0K/0D/0A]
The countdown begins soon and the match begins.
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Start!]
“Okay, let’s go.”
“depart.”
The melee character, Seo Ye-in, took the lead.
Go down the large passage as far as your feet will take you, and when you reach a fork in the road, turn left, then right, and then continue on.
As I was walking aimlessly, a heavy shadow swayed in the light from the torch and gradually came closer.
– Clank, clank,
A knight in thick armor, followed by a duo of priests.
It seems that they are also not familiar with the melee class, so their behavior is very unnatural.
– Kwaaaaah—!
The calligrapher’s barbarian roared and charged.
And then get close to your opponent… … .
He swings his sword around.
I can’t help it since I’m not used to the controls yet.
The situation is the same for the opponent, and the knight also awkwardly sticks his shield forward to block.
‘Hmm, that feels unnatural.’
A barbarian and a knight trading blows, waving their arms in a creaking motion.
This is what happens when you manipulate a class you have no experience with.
In the midst of such a childish battle,
– Wheein—
The knight’s body was bathed in bright light.
The priest in the rear casts a recovery spell.
Since only one side is recovering stamina, if this continues, the calligrapher will fall first.
Of course, I wasn’t the one who just watched.
As soon as the battle started, I started preparing my stinger and it’s now fully loaded.
Aim at the opponent,
– Hook!
The poison dart went through the gap in the helmet visor.
Then the knight’s movements became noticeably slower, and he seemed to be under the effect of a slowdown.
It was in the middle of a heated exchange of words.
If only one side moves slowly, it will inevitably expose a large gap.
The calligrapher struck the knight’s shield with all his might, breaking his posture, and then struck down his sword with all his might.
– Bang!
The iron helmet was dented by the brute force of the savage.
Still, the calligrapher did not stop striking his sword.
– Boom, bang, bang!
[Serbarian 1K/0D/0A]
[Kim Dok-chim 0K/0D/1A]
“Oh, that thing is running away.”
The priest immediately turns his back and runs.
However, a poisonous needle was stuck in the back of his neck, and the calligrapher strode over to him, grabbed him, and cut off his head.
[Serbarian 2K/0D/0A]
[Kim Dok-chim 0K/0D/2A]
“Even though it’s your first time, you’re doing well.”
“I am strong.”
“That’s right. It’s really crazy.”
A barbarian is a class of strong men who compete solely through physical strength.
“Let’s keep going.”
“huh.”
As I continued walking along the passageway of the ruins, I saw two shadows of people flickering in the torchlight.
Two warriors appeared next.
They wore the same leather armor and carried the same sword and shield.
Since the class is determined randomly, there are instances of duplication like that.
The twin warriors also spotted us and quickly rushed towards us.
I loaded the dart and gave instructions to the calligrapher.
“ax.”
“ax.”
The calligrapher took out the hatchet on his waist and threw it straight forward.
The hand axe that flew while spinning around slammed into the shoulder of Twin Warrior A.
I thought there was a high chance that it would miss since it was my first time throwing an axe, but as expected, since it is a long-range class, it is good at throwing things.
“Let’s start by cleaning up the friend who got hit with the axe.”
“huh.”
The barbarian strode forward and was about to clash with the two warriors,
– Hook—!
I sent a poisonous dart.
A thin needle is stuck into the neck of Twin Warrior B,
“Ah! What is this?!”
A confused cry came from somewhere.
Probably the player controlling Twin B.
Looking at the way he is flustered and unable to figure out what to do, it seems like he is in a state of ‘reversal’ or something.
It’s an unfamiliar class to begin with, so it’ll be confusing since the controls are reversed.
In the meantime, the calligrapher aggressively pushed Twin A away.
His power has already been greatly reduced due to the hatchet being stuck in his shoulder.
A puts his shield forward, but kicks it away, then strides forward and slashes his sword diagonally.
– Crunch!
Twin A is torn into two pieces, and the calligrapher immediately rushes to B.
As if his blindness had just been lifted, B straightened his posture and began to fight back.
– Hook!
Just until the next stinger strikes.
“No! Seriously, what is this!”
Another confused cry echoes through the student corner.
When I checked B’s condition, his movements became as slow as a snail’s.
You’ve been slowed down.
And the opponents who were slowed down were easy prey for the manly barbarian and calligrapher.
– Kkwadkku!
[Servarian 4K/0D/0A]
[Kim Dok-chim 0K/0D/4A]
“Strong.”
“Strong.”
We exchanged a quick high five. Clap.
