303 – [5] Domhwangcha
#303
* * *
The day came to an end after reassuring the thousand birds and cleaning up after them.
Except for just one task.
“Now that I’m here, I need to open the box.”
I know what’s inside, but I couldn’t open the box, so I brought it all the way here.
A 5-star box with 100% probability was waiting for me.
The means of opening is, as previously thought, a truck.
The plan was to push the box with a truck to break the lid and look inside.
“Um…… “But it’s raining quite a bit.”
“Kang Si, there’s something like a hydraulic press in the corner of the warehouse over there. “Why don’t you try it?”
“Oh, do you have a hydraulic press?”
“Yes. “They said it was brought there for garbage disposal.”
However, because reality was not feasible, it was replaced with something else.
I headed to the hydraulic press in the corner of the warehouse.
“For compressing magic items?”
“It seems to be much stronger than a regular compressor.”
It looks nothing more than a garbage compactor.
Because it was used to dispose of magic items, this one seemed much more powerful compared to the commonly known compressor.
Hydraulic press videos commonly seen on WeTube.
It seemed like it could easily exert as much power as the machine shown there.
“Hmm, could a hydraulic press exert a force of several tons?”
“I can use it. Wouldn’t this be more reliable than pushing it down with a multi-ton truck?”
I adjusted this and that and fixed the box.
It was a bit of a waste to think that the box with its gorgeous exterior would be destroyed.
But you shouldn’t regret this.
This was an item that had to be opened even if it did not make a profit.
I immediately started the machine.
The hydraulic press came down and crushed the box.
“2,204.62 Pounds. 3,306.934 Pounds. 4,409.245 Pounds…… But roughly how much is 2,200 pounds?”
“Sweet, it looks like there was a stronger spell than I thought.”
I don’t know how much it is, but it’s an endless force.
The sound of gears turning was harsh.
The metal part of the hydraulic press that supports the box up and down slowly became distorted.
This happened because the box protected by magic was so strong.
“Is this okay? “Isn’t the machine going to break down because of just one box?”
“Uh…… I know. Just another way— eh?!”
Wow!
However, in the face of modern civilization, it was nothing more than a insignificant struggle.
The colorful hinges and lid broke, scattering large and small pieces around.
Defeat of magic.
Magic was destroyed by powerful technology.
The box was once beautiful.
It was so ugly that it was so damaged that it was not necessary.
I stopped the hydraulic press.
I lifted the machine and looked at the cold, dead box.
“Oh, it’s open.”
Has magic been completely destroyed?
The box was opened without any resistance.
Actually, the lid lost its function as it was smashed rather than just opened, but it opened anyway.
And inside the box I had longed for, there was a small scroll.
“Jiangshi, is this what you were looking for?”
“Yes.”
The letters and magic circle were clear.
When I took it out and touched it, it felt soft and soft, even though it was old paper.
I thought it was something that was worn out and rusting in places, but that wasn’t the case.
The overall condition of the scroll was good.
I feel like it wouldn’t be noticeable even if I erased all of the above and added new magic.
Considering that there were a thousand of them in a box and boiled in hot water, it seemed like a strong spell had definitely been placed on them.
I smiled.
Very carefully, I took out a ziplock bag from my pocket and put the scroll in there.
Cheonma-ri looked at my actions with suspicion.
The object sticking out of the box was strange, and the way it was handled so carefully was also strange.
“Jiangshi, that’s what you said last time…… Is this a ‘technology that blocks the power of the World Tree’?”
“Hmm, maybe not? “First of all, it’s something that sticks out of a box.”
If you speak too confidently, it may arouse suspicion.
He answered with the nuance that it would be true if the information he found out was true.
“But why is it in the form of a scroll? “I think it would be better to describe the principles in a document like this.”
“That’s right. Why scroll? Is it because it’s an old item? “Compared to other cases, it’s a bit unusual.”
Of course, I knew very well why this object was a scroll.
It was a somewhat realistic and meta reason that had nothing to do with the game setting.
– A. Originally, we had built our own system. There are too many bugs so I’m just using the scroll system.
Bug, it’s you again.
As is often the case in game development, this was the result of not being able to fix bugs.
A truth that can never be told to a thousand birds.
That’s why I wanted to divert attention.
“But according to the book with related information, you will learn the skill as soon as you tear the scroll.”
“Oh? “It’s so easy, isn’t it?”
Cheonma-ri looked around at the scroll in the zipper bag.
After touching it a few times, it gave me a look that wanted to tear it apart.
“And this scroll, although I’m not sure, it seems that up to four people can learn the skill at the same time.”
Four people were also the maximum number of people in a party in the game.
In other words, in the game, using this scroll allowed the characters in the party to learn certain skills.
The technical name is Seongchongchittal (聖寵侵奪).
As the name suggests, it was an invasion of the power of the holy World Tree.
Of course, it wasn’t like he was stealing the power of the World Tree and using it openly.
It was only possible to a limited extent if it developed to the final stage of the invasion of Seongchong.
He is a being close to a god, so how could it be easy to steal his power and use it against hostile forces?
Basically, like a knight, it was close to controlling the power of those who received the World Tree’s blessing by taking away their power to some extent.
And the Seongchong Invasion technique was used like a meal in the latter half of the game.
It is said to be a kind of soup and multi-purpose skill.
<[Title] How to use Seongchongchittal.Txt>
(Rough photo of a bug with a game character standing in a T shape)
1. The enemy is too strong.
-> You can apply a large debuff by attacking the Holy Gun.
2. Too many enemies.
-> All you have to do is attack the Seongchong and apply a debuff to the group.
3. Enemy too weak?
-> All you have to do is feed it Seongchong Invasion and make it die with just a debuff.
4. NPCs are not cheap.
-> Become a World Tree Appraiser, check if the World Tree has the protection of the Holy Chong and then kill it.
5. But there is no protection from the World Tree.
-> First of all, you can kill it, use Seongchong Invasion, and justify to yourself that it was actually a trick of the hidden World Tree. However, there are cases like this when playing games, so if you suspect something, there is a high possibility that it is real.
Everyone understands this, right?
Let’s be aware of this and live a happy gray zone life!
An all-purpose debuffer itself.
This was roughly the way it was treated in the community in my previous life.
Still, as strong as it is, if you use it too much, you will lose horsepower like a game with a severe memory leak.
If you enhance your skills at the right time, you can significantly lower the overall difficulty of the game.
Of course, naturally, inevitably.
Characters who learned the Seongchong Invasion by tearing the scroll had no choice but to become the main characters in the latter half of the game.
“4 People can learn it together?”
“According to what is written in the book, yes.”
“Oh then…… This… ….”
“It would be right to gather two more people besides us and then tear them apart.”
In fact, the final party would have been completed at the point where Seongchong Invasion was learned.
That’s why I had no intention of tearing up the scroll right here.
The way to a comfortable future.
I had no intention of wasting what the generously giving World Tree had given me.
“But who are the other two…?” … ? “Has anyone decided?”
“Yes, you know these people.”
Cheonma-ri tilted his head halfway and opened his mouth.
Perhaps because he was a regressor, he was quick to notice.
“Aha, are you planning to add Einerzia Lumineas Cyanatar and Nartica Dreikanis Marinalitz?”
“…… “That’s our elven name.”
It was like saying ‘I don’t know’ in a bright way.
Perhaps because he was a regressor, he had no clue.
Well, I didn’t explain it right away because I was going to find out sooner or later anyway.
* * *
And the next day.
I set out to find someone with whom I could acquire skills.
From Noble mtl dot com
The first target was a woman who lived about 11 feet away from my room.
That woman was Shannon.
I headed to Shannon’s room.
I very kindly explained her current situation to the woman who was rolling around in her room.
“Well…… At that time, she was trying to open the box with Mari…… ?”
But the reaction was a little strange.
Although she seemed disappointed, she continued to stroke her face as if she had some kind of delusion.
Hey.
You understand me correctly, right?
“Huh…… That’s fortunate…….”
“Yes? “What are you happy about?”
I feel like the focus of the conversation is in a strange place.
No, what’s so important about me opening a box with a thousand birds?
I explained it repeatedly because I was afraid there would be a problem later.
Only then did she show understanding by wagging her tail.
“Anyway, Mr. Shannon, what do you think about acquiring skills?”
“It’s not that difficult, and it’s not that bad…… “I will participate.”
Three people gathered here.
Now all I had to do was gather one more person from my acquaintances.
“Well, if you are a person with skills…” … “I guess I only have a sister.”
I had two older sisters.
One is my cousin, Seo Ha-rin, and the other is my acquaintance, Nasua.
Of course, Harin was excluded.
The older sister I chose was Su-ah, who can work as a hunter and has excellent magical talent.
Since I am even working as a professor, I felt that acquiring skills would be of great help in the future.
Whether it is analyzing technology or strengthening technology in a different way.
He was someone who carried the weight of being a professor, so it would have been possible.
I immediately called Su-ah.
The problem was that Su-ah had been very busy recently.
Since she was in regular contact with him, this was becoming more and more urgent.
– “Oh! Sian! She said she felt sorry for her sister, but she was a little busy right now because the slaves didn’t listen to her. “Can you call me in an hour?”
“Yes?”
– “Sian, my sister hasn’t finished writing the report yet. “Can you call me back later during lunch?”
“Um, yes.”
– “Umm…… Sian, I’m sorry that your sister has so much work to do. I guess I’ll have to work without lunch today…….”
“Ah.”
– “There! Smith assistant! Take that away now and put up a new magic stone! Uh! No, not there! Kid crazy. Sian, can you wait a moment?”
“… ….”
– “I’m sorry for taking up your time…… My thesis submission is approaching, so I don’t have time. “Can you please call me tomorrow?”
“Yes… ….”
So the next day, instead of calling, I went to Su-a’s lab.
It may be a nuisance, but it was because I felt like I would never have time if I used the phone.
“Let’s see. My sister’s lab…… What?”
However, there was a strange piece of paper lying in front of the lab.
Judging from the fact that the writing was severely crumpled and scribbled, it seemed like someone had lost their minds and wrote it.
What on earth is this?
I picked up the paper.
