49 – World 11. Unexpected break (4)
Recently, Ren has been happy every day.
Because there was no need to live as fiercely as before.
You don’t even have to go to the abandoned area to pick up scrap metal to grab a multi stick and a glass of water.
Of course, there was no need to beg while watching people notice, and there was no need to avoid competitors.
Safety was guaranteed just by being here, and when the time came, an incredibly delicious meal was served.
Finally, I could not help but be happy because I could receive 5,000 credits per month by going to another world.
However, Hayden was displeased with Ren’s appearance.
“kid. Can I play like that?”
“why?”
“I mean, shouldn’t I log in and raise my skill level?”
It was something I was worried about.
Ren noticed this, but did not move easily.
“I don’t think raising the level will help.”
“Isn’t that just your opinion?”
Ren thought for a moment.
Is there anything you can do to help?
When I think of the battle Lee Sung-min showed me yesterday, I felt like I could do anything by myself.
Up to summoning dozens of soldiers, including individual armed forces.
That was not enough, so it was Lee Sung-min who summoned a rock giant and a dark red dragon.
“…”
So Ren told Hayden about the battle that had taken place yesterday.
From soldiers, to summoning rock giants and dark red dragons, Lee Sung-min killed 5 to 600 vicious people, including 2nd and 3rd stage objects.
Heyden, who listened to the story in silence, was amazed again.
“Certainly not normal. Since it hasn’t been long since you logged in, it must be the original power.”
At the same time, I could understand what Ren wanted to say.
“But isn’t that the more you have to work harder?”
“Effort?”
“Because I don’t see him as someone who will throw away those who try. Besides, combat and war are different concepts, so you might be able to help.”
Hayden said just that.
Since he was a smart child, he would have fully understood what he said now.
Thanks to that, Ren thought for a moment and then got up from his seat and went upstairs.
Perhaps he went to connect.
Hayden let out a small sigh as he saw Ren rise up like that.
‘It’s not easy to take care of a baby.’
He sighed in hopes of getting along well in the future, but Hayden, who had just heard the story, felt that it was not easy for some reason.
‘Certainly, it seems to be as good as one skill.’
This was Lee Sung-min.
Catch a level 3 object even though it’s only been a few days since you logged in?
I thought that maybe I could really catch the King and free him from the fog of death.
“…”
If so, what should he do?
Should I lend a hand, albeit weakly, on that journey?
Hayden sat alone in deep thought, putting the work tool in his hand down on the table for a moment.
* * *
It was already evening when I returned from all the errands in District 1.
I entered Hayden’s building, confirming that the night sky was thick, and I could see that three people had already gathered on the first floor and were waiting.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. Are you here?”
“Yes. Didn’t everything go well?”
I looked at Ren lying on the other side like a corpse as I answered Karina’s welcome.
For some reason, the energy was in a limp state, as if all energy had been drained.
“No big deal. What can happen in one day?”
“Well. How about Ren over there?”
Karina glanced at Ren and said as if it was nothing.
“I think it’s because I couldn’t eat the lunch Lee Seong-min prepared for me.”
“…”
I never thought that preparing meals every day would come back with results like this.
At that moment, the limp Ren raised his head and muttered weakly.
“Mister… I trained hard today.”
He seemed to know what he wanted to say.
“Yeah, good job. Let me know if you want something to eat.”
“It is delicious.”
it’s delicious
I interpreted it on my own.
Ren, who doesn’t know about food, said it was delicious, so it seemed like he wanted something delicious he’d never eaten before.
I would have said that if it had been something I had eaten before.
“okay. Hang in there.”
what to make anyway
After thinking about that for a while, I decided to make tteokbokki and fries, which I thought might appeal to the male and female elements.
Also, as soon as he made a decision, he opened the sub-space to take out various ingredients and perfected them with the ‘Cooking Skill’ obtained in the ninth world.
Of course, I put the ingredients inside without sparing.
In the meantime, Carina, who followed me into the kitchen, asked me.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. Have you ever logged on during the day?”
“A connection? Yes.”
As Karina said, there was a time when I logged in from District 1 during the day.
However, it seemed that Karina was online and asking what she was doing.
Contemplating whether or not to tell him, I decided to answer honestly.
“Because I have my colleagues. I left those comrades in District 1. They supported me by allowing me to log in as well.”
The support I was talking about here was that I handed over food and game item equipment to raise my job and physical level.
Karina listened to me and tilted her head.
“Do you have any colleagues? Then why don’t you bring me here…”
“It’s a little too much.”
This is also a 7-story building, so I don’t know how it can accommodate all of them, but it will still be a bit dizzyingly crowded.
So I’ve said before that in exchange for solving the city’s water problem, I’d like to have a place for my colleagues to stay and take good care of it.
In addition, having them live in District 1 meant that they had come to the future world after a long time, so they should experience and adapt to their heart’s content.
At the same time, Karina asked with a slightly anticipatory face.
“If they are Lee Seong-min’s colleagues, can they also use special abilities?”
“No, just think of me as an ordinary player.”
I couldn’t use anything other than the game ability I received from the Creator.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was an ordinary player, since it would be nothing if he were his colleagues.
Of course, since I gave them plenty of food and game items, they would grow quickly.
“I’m a little sorry. I wondered if Lee Seong-min’s colleague would have a special ability.”
“Do you need enough power right now?”
“Oh, that’s not it. But the more people like Lee Sung-min, the better.”
Then, when the cooking was almost finished, Karina spoke again.
“Lee Seong-min’s colleague will be able to meet you when you log in.”
“Well. It will be difficult to meet. I was sent to another fort.”
“Another fort?”
“I heard it has five wires. I can’t stop all five places by myself, so I’m trying to block them by dividing the number of people.”
In fact, I could hear that there were four other forts besides Fort Fritton where I was.
Therefore, when I replied that the number of people was divided, Karina said with a slightly uneasy expression.
“Didn’t you say you were an ordinary player?”
“Instead, they gave me equipment that increased my stats. Besides, we will go in groups of several.”
I was alone, but I believed that there would be nothing to worry about because my colleagues would gather together and fight.
‘······Actually, there is an easier way than this.’
It was the hero card I recalled just before.
If I put companions on that hero card and summon them from another world, they would be able to display their original powers.
I bet you will be much stronger than I am now.
However, for me, this world was not the end, but a place to pass through, so my colleagues also needed to be strong.
Fortunately, here you can become stronger by connecting and leveling up, so there was no reason not to use it.
but.
‘I originally tried to get a job with my body, but I failed.’
Come to think of it, when I first logged in, the numbers [0/0/1] were engraved on my left wrist.
So the colleague, who guessed that it might be because of it, went back to the hero card after getting a job, but in that case, the level did not rise.
Even if it was blocked, it was the result of thinking that it was thoroughly blocked.
In the end, I had no choice but to log in and increase my strength, and I returned here.
‘Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.’
It was funny to think about this since it had been less than an hour since we broke up, but I was a little worried as not everyone had a calm personality.
‘Well, Ayla will do well.’
I solved the water problem, so if you think about it, taking care of more than 40 colleagues would not be a chore.
I thought so and went back with the finished tteokbokki and tempura.
* * *
298th Floor, Mallburton Tower, Area 1.
“…”
Ayla stared at the scene unfolding in front of her, devastated.
“Wow, this is very tasteless. Is this the food of the future?”
A woman with languid eyes took a bite of a multistick while lying on the sofa and complained that it was not tasty.
Not only that, but more than 40 people could not stand still for a moment, wandering around and examining the placed items one by one.
It was the result of Lee Sung-min, who came today.
Besides, Ayla didn’t leave her alone either.
“Miss Ayla. How can I learn about this world?”
“Miss Ayla. What is this thing here?”
“Miss Ayla. Can I go outside?”
“Miss Ayla. How does this work?”
“Miss Ayla. Can we find out how this robot moves?”
“Miss Ayla. What floor is this now…”
“Mr. Ayla…”
“Ayla?”
Ayla could not come to her senses, feeling quite confused by the countless questions.
I’m not joking, I felt like I was going to have a schizophrenia if I continued like this.
“Ahh. that, that.”
Even so, when he answered and took a breath.
‘······yes?’
Nearby, I saw a little fox and a chubby mouse wandering around the room.
Are you a pet?
Ayla, who always liked animals, felt that she needed healing and approached the fox and lowered her body.
“Hi, what is your name?”
As an animal, it was a kind of escape from reality to turn a blind eye to the current situation.
Anyway, the job of a beast trainer that Ayla acquired also has skills that make her feel friendly with animals.
Of course, you will be able to become friendly with animals you see for the first time, just like their owners.
But.
-Don’t give off strange energy and go away.
“uh?”
A very precise statement came from the fox’s mouth.
It was distinctly different from animals that only delivered simple doctors so far.
The fox threatened Ayla by lifting her tiny paws up to her head, whether she was surprised or not.
– Mr. Kwak.
“…”
Ayla gave up thinking about it any longer.
