Episode 115 – Fierce Battle (5)
[Achievement Accomplishment: Kingdom Conditions (1)]
[Reward selection possible]
“…”
Even before the enemy’s attack, Varun’s counterattack, anticipating victory in advance, created a miracle. They attacked the enemies who could not gather and immediately pushed them away, and began to absorb most of the existing Garhan forces that had been conquered by Luke.
Even now, I could see countless people lining up, heading toward the tunnel, passing through the tunnel, and arriving at the village.
However, there are more accurate indicators than what you can see with your eyes. This is the achievement and status table provided by the master program.
The master program showed us that Varun’s recent achievements showed us the possibility of breaking away from the level of a borderline tribe and becoming a kingdom.
“That’s amazing.”
I can’t help but be impressed. Especially because I was with them from the beginning.
From a small tribe of only a few dozen fugitives, they came this far by absorbing the surrounding tribes and vagabonds one by one.
I vividly remember when they first entered the game world. People who were shocked and wary when they saw me approach them in the form of a game character are now using and applying the abilities in the game better than me.
The miracles they achieved are because their abilities are that great.
‘I guess I’ll have to get a seat first.’
As I was wondering where to start and what to do, I decided that the first priority was to help the new members get established. In order to utilize them as new human resources, a strong foundation is needed first.
We had to make the immigrants feel that they are truly one with us and see the land they immigrated to as a place full of hope and resources, not a land infested with terrible monsters.
All the power given to me is for them.
‘I need to gradually increase the number of hunters and find places where I can farm more monster essence.’
I wanted to activate one more game after Glory Tower, a defense game, but I put that on hold for a while. First of all, as the number of people increased significantly, the priority was to strengthen the existing well-established system.
First, the active stage of the third game, Creature Hunting, was upgraded to increase the number of people that can be deployed.
Creature Hunting, which has increased from 6 to 10 players, is a game that trains successor hunters with the first hunters, Naru and Dune, as regular members, and produces craftsmen who learn production techniques and make equipment.
By consuming some of the points earned so far, the number of people to be deployed there was nearly doubled. Among hunters, some are specialized in hunting while others are strong in gathering, so as the number increases, the options will expand.
And the first game, Sandbox Crafting, is our precious gold mine that provides not only food and various resources, but also efficient abilities such as miners and transporters.
This game has already been activated at the highest level for a long time, so there is not much you can do other than quickly change the personnel deployed.
“–? –!”
However, you can open a new hunting ground where the essence of monsters, which is one of the valuable resources being farmed, drops in larger quantities and more frequently.
The people working hard inside were startled and agitated when they saw my character suddenly appear.
‘I need to clear a path to the void.’
In this game, the monsters in the underworld are definitely stronger than the monsters in the field and give better items, but there are also monsters that are higher than these monsters.
The place where those guys are gathered is another field called the Void.
Getting there required a different kind of means than simply digging with a titanium pickaxe. It’s about opening a portal.
“If they don’t give you the ingredients, you can just change them.”
There was no way to enter the void in this game, which had clearly been adjusted to prevent items above a certain level from being dropped, but I had already found a way to overcome that by making a titanium pickaxe.
Just a file converter. It was a function that allowed residents to change objects from the outside world into items in the game.
[Dwarf’s Helmet] [Kingdom Wizard’s Memorise Ring] [Chief’s Baton]…
Several items were needed to open the portal, so I had to forcibly commandeer several items. Of course, I feel uneasy when I see the villagers whose goods were stolen from me, the dwarves, and the captured kingdom wizards all sitting on the ground in shock.
But I decided that this was for the good of all of us, so I spent my points and gave them what I could instead.
“—…”
What was given was the essence of experience that became the fertilizer that allowed Shura to grow quickly after using it. Those who received it played with the golden orb with blank faces.
It’s about 100 points, so a few points aren’t that burdensome.
“—? —!”
Afterwards, I chose a place to build a portal using the materials I had secured. Right near the wall where there was a passage to the underworld.
With numerous residents glancing at me, I made a stand by stacking blocks on the floor and began to build a portal by installing materials on the wall of the fence.
The making itself was completed in an instant. Just place the ingredients according to certain conditions and you’re done.
I created a staircase to get there and used the mouse to summon warriors who usually farm the essence of monsters.
In the meantime, farming the essence of monsters has become a place where new warriors who have learned to use the skills they transferred from Dark Blood’s hunting mode to some extent can gain more experience.
As equipment was supplied and more seniors transferred to that profession, the level of warriors also increased, so it seemed like it would be possible to gradually increase the difficulty level.
‘The beginning part is enough, and if I do well, I think I can go to the deep part.’
Compared to people like Riena and Rakum, the warriors recruited now are like newbies who have just changed jobs and are learning their skills. Still, I thought it would be possible, so I grabbed a knife and waved my arm to indicate that he should follow me.
“As long as you recognize that it’s a new hunting ground.”
After crossing the portal and entering a new land with a blazing red sky, I watched as other warriors arrived one by one.
The monsters from the void who have already discovered us are approaching. I was going to teach them how to hunt them.
Even if established behavioral patterns lose much of their meaning, their physical weaknesses and characteristics do not disappear.
For example, characteristics such as not chasing something if you look at it with your eyes.
“–? –!”
“–!”
The problem was that it was very difficult to express such knowledge and information through actions and gestures rather than words, or even through the character’s movements rather than my own gestures.
Even when I run around to catch monsters whose weak point is the back of their head and show them the big eyeballs on the back of their heads, they just stand there blankly.
“Oh, I’m really going to search because I’m so frustrated.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Maybe it was because I already had a lot of work to do right now, but I felt annoyed for the first time because I thought I had been communicating pretty well up until now.
[Recommended real-time strategy simulation game]
“uh?”
Then, a notification immediately came to mind. A new game recommended by the Master Program has appeared that suggests a way to relieve my frustration.
I read the explanation blankly, watching the warriors fight the monsters on their own.
‘Forbidden War. A real-time strategy simulation game.’
The games recommended by the master program are ones I played a little bit when I was young, but now I rarely play them. It’s a game where you mine resources, produce troops, and fight against your opponents.
I now understand why this game was recommended to me.
[Forbidden War: 5000P]
“No, it’s too expensive…”
The moment it is absolutely necessary, when I have the space to handle it. Refunds or cancellations are not possible. And with that one choice, I and countless other residents could be exterminated.
This was also the reason why I did not activate the game hastily on my own.
Hesitating, I fiddled with the mouse. Because I wasn’t sure what type of help this game would help me with.
All of the games I’ve activated so far have helped me by bringing residents into the game world and letting them take the skills and items they get there.
On the other hand, the most recently activated Glory Tower, on the other hand, brought the in-game abilities outside and allowed me to use them.
“Would you really send people into that crazy world?”
I chuckled to myself and carefully moved the mouse to relieve my anxiety.
If I had it right, there was a high probability that this new game would provide me with gaming features like Glory Tower. It seemed unlikely that the residents would be sent to fight against monsters set in outer space.
No matter how many fantasy game skills you have learned from those who fight while shooting rays in space, you cannot guarantee safety.
Of course, that was the only basis, so my hand was shaking as I tried to press the button.
[Activate Game]
Fortunately, even when the game was activated, the idea of deploying personnel did not come to mind. In other words, entering the game world is not the first step.
[Available to command troops]
[Currently commandable unit 1]
[Quest clear required when adding, number of people who can be deployed 0/4]
“…”
It was a short thought. Forbidden War, the game that was activated this time, had all the types of games shown so far.
‘First of all, just do it.’
“–!? —!”
My head was pounding, but since I had the power I was given right away, I didn’t manipulate the character and instead moved the mouse.
All I could do with the mouse so far was pick it up and move it. But not anymore.
I was able to manipulate the 12 warriors I dragged to my will.
It was also possible to move it somewhere and give an attack order.
‘This is a double-edged sword.’
Having tried it myself, I am convinced that this is not necessarily a good feature. The orders I give in the first place are extremely simple and crude, as are the faces of the warriors who are horrified by their bodies moving as they please.
Since it is better to leave the fight itself to them, all I can do to help them using this function is simple action instructions. Where should I go, when should I attack, etc.
Of course, that is enough for now.
Using this function, it was possible to eliminate relatively simple sandbox crafting monsters much more easily and without feeling frustrated.
‘Is this really applicable outside?’
As the warriors got used to hunting down the Void mobs, I turned the screen to another area.
Many residents working normally in the village.
I tried dragging them as a group just in case.
“do.”
Then he burst out laughing. The 12 people I dragged all rushed in the direction I right-clicked.
They all were shocked and their eyes widened. Right now, it’s a single unit, but as other games continue to develop, if it continues to increase in the future, it will be possible to move tens or hundreds of people at once according to my will.
