11 – World 11. Access (1)
‘Shouldn’t I have shown my ability instead of answering?’
I thought of the regressor woman who went back and said she needed time to think.
To her, I was not very trustworthy.
‘Regressor······ Well, it’s unfortunate, but it won’t be a problem.’
So far, all worlds except the fourth world have gone well without regressors.
This world was no exception, as long as it didn’t interfere.
So I decided to put aside the idea of a regressor for a while.
Instead, I was concerned about the way I connected to the other world I heard about during the story.
‘Did you say that the soul goes over and imprints the power?’
Maybe things would get complicated.
If only the soul was to be passed over, the power contained in the body had become useless.
Especially the sub space I was using was like that.
Sub-space was also the power that resided in my body.
But I wasn’t too sure, so I wasn’t too worried.
In addition, there was one more subspace power.
Bubbly-
As I was thinking, I saw Hayden coming down one of the stairs.
After coming down, Hayden looked around for a moment and asked about the regressor woman.
“The woman must have returned.”
“They need some time to think.”
I was about to mention the fact that the woman was a regressor as an answer, but I soon gave up.
Even if I happened to find out, it was originally a secret that would do nothing good to be found out.
‘The problem is that the advantage of regression is distorted.’
Hayden, who originally tried to recruit, turned it down because of me.
The woman went back without even thinking about persuading her, so she didn’t know what would happen.
‘Well.’
But why are you trying to recruit Hayden now?
I heard that the reason Hayden stopped connecting was because he died twice.
If so, wouldn’t it have been better if he had come before that?
After pondering over and over again, I was able to come to one conclusion.
‘What if the point of return is recent?’
If it was a recent return, it was understandable that he was trying to recruit him now.
At that time, Hayden approached the table placed against the wall and placed a large palm on it.
pod-
‘yes?’
At the same time Hayden raised his palm, a blue monitor-shaped hologram protruded from the end of the table.
What is that?
As I continued to look at it in puzzlement, a picture of the woman I was talking to a while ago appeared on the monitor.
“My name was Karina. But I didn’t expect the residence to be in District 3. When I first saw it, I thought it must be a District 1 resident.”
“… Mr. Hayden. What is that?”
“It’s a monitor of some sort.”
Hayden gave a simple answer, then said it with a puzzled look.
“But it’s amazing. How did someone living in District 3 buy an Ost Android?”
“An Android?”
“Did you see the pink hair standing behind the woman? It’s an android.”
It was easy to tell who he was talking about.
I felt a sense of alienation that did not seem like a human being, so was it an android?
Thanks to that, I came to know the part that I was curious about, but it was not important.
“From what I’ve heard, Android seems expensive, is that true?”
“Android is expensive. Among them, Ost’s escort androids are more expensive.”
Hayden, who said that the android the regressor woman was carrying was for escorts, explained a bit more.
“To put it simply, the entire body is bulletproof, bulletproof, fire resistant, and electricity does not pass through. If it’s a flaw that Ost’s company developed and monopolized it, and it’s more expensive than most Androids, it must be a flaw.”
To be sure, it was well worth the price.
“How much?”
“At the current price… I wonder if it would cost 4 million credits.”
4 million?
I calculated the price of 4 million in Korean currency.
Not long after, the result of 4 billion came out.
‘If it’s expensive, it’s an expensive price.’
It seemed to collect enough.
After all, I’ve made quite a bit of money in every world I’ve been through.
“Rather than that, now the connector can connect with just one last adjustment.”
“Oh really?”
“It is not a difficult task, so there is no reason for it to take long. I’m just worried about you.”
I looked at Hayden, whom I said was worried, with curious eyes.
“As I showed you yesterday, there are three levels in all.”
“Yes, it was.”
Job level, protection level, body level.
I remembered.
“First of all, the job level is to kill the hostile beings of mankind. You have to catch the so-called monster.”
I nodded and remembered that Hayden’s job level was 31.
“Is it difficult to raise your job level?”
“If it is difficult, it is difficult. After killing the monster, I have to take care of the crystal.”
“…?”

Decision?
“If you cut open a monster’s body, you can get something called a rare crystal. If you collect those crystals and bring them to the temple, your job level will go up.”
Hearing that, I tilted my head.
“What if another monster shows up and I have to run away before I can get a decision?”
“You have to give up your job level.”
“What if the crystal is stolen on the way to the temple?”
“Likewise, you have to give up your job level.”
“…”
Conditions were harsher than expected.
If you catch a monster, you have to check if there are any crystals inside, and if you take it or lose it on the way, your job level will fly away.
‘Besides, looking at Hayden’s level, it doesn’t seem like he’s making decisions.’
Regardless of my thoughts, Hayden moved on to the next one, as if he thought he had explained enough.
“The second protection level is like an achievement. If you do something worthy of achievement for humanity, you rise.”
For reference, Hayden’s protection level was 4.
“Did Mr. Hayden do it four times?”
“The words are an achievement, the conditions are not strict.”
Afterwards, Hayden told me how his protection level went up.
Participated in the construction of Muto Fortress.
Rescue knights who fell into a trap and became isolated.
Collect the research materials of the fallen empire and deliver them to the kingdom.
Successful siege warfare at Muto Fort until reinforcements arrive.
Actually, I didn’t think it was such a great achievement when I listened to it one by one.
“It seemed like if you wanted to help the whole of humanity without thinking hard about it, it would be considered an achievement.”
“Catching monsters?”
“If you catch a monster with a name, it will be recognized as an achievement. Actually, someone raised the protection level like that.”
Conversely, it seems that no matter how many kills the killifish monster is, it will not be counted as an achievement.
“Finally, the physical level is simple. It is a kind of service concept. Even if you help one villager there, your physical level will go up.”
“The concept of service?”
“It means that even if you bring water to the residents, it will go up. Of course, it would take thousands of times to raise the body level like that.”
I thought for a while and said what came to my mind.
“Can you climb even if you catch a monster?”
“I understand. Reducing the number of monsters threatening humanity is also a kind of service.”
Well.
If the conditions of the job level and protection level were slightly tight, the body level belonged to the loose side.
It means that no matter what you do, if it is helpful to mankind, you will rise.
‘Hayden also had the highest physical level.’
Listening to the conditions, not only Hayden but also others seemed to have the highest physical level.
Even if the job level and protection level went up, the body level would also go up, so it was inevitable.
“The problem is that the locals abuse it.”
huh?
“Abusive?”
“Think the other way around. A worker has been summoned who will do anything you ask, so will you let it go?”
“It looks like you can pamper yourself.”
Heyden laughed, as if he was correct.
“You can feel the enslavement.”
“You don’t have to listen.”
“If you refuse, at that moment, rumors will spread among the residents and they won’t ask you for anything. Now, how are you going to raise your physical level?”
I had the means I believed in, but other people certainly didn’t seem to have a choice.
“Are you going hunting right away?”
“Are you planning to go with only one weapon? As I said, when you first log in, your physical abilities are that of a child.”
If Hayden’s words were true, it seemed that he would have no choice but to accept the residents’ request.
“Not only that, but there won’t be any monsters you can catch.”
“No?”
“Think about it. As soon as it was discovered that it was possible to cross into another world, at least tens of thousands of people with connectors connected. So will there be any monsters left?”
“ah.”
He seemed to know what Hayden was talking about.
At this point, two years after the player appeared…
“All the easygoing monsters have been captured. It’s not something new like a game, so there’s no other way than helping the residents.”
“Well, I guess.”
“But.”
Hayden suggested another way to me as well.
“Your sub-space. If you can use that subspace ability in other worlds, the story will be different.”
I nodded my head to Hayden who just pinched the subspace.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Check when you log in. If you can freely move objects from both worlds into subspace, the game will change.”
I don’t know about Pando, but I thought it would be helpful if I took a weapon like a rifle from this world to another world.
‘However, there is a possibility that I cannot use the subspace as I thought earlier.’
As I said, the subspace I used was an ability imprinted in my body.
Therefore, there was a possibility that it could not be used in the place where only the soul passed, but it was not confirmed yet, so I reserved my words.
“I have to check first. When can I access it?”
“Only one final adjustment remains, so 10 minutes should be enough.”
Hayden also turned around and headed for the connector placed nearby, as if curious about the result.
