Chapter 98. Little Snowball (2)
From nob le mt l dot com
Many people were wandering in the forest.
However, their condition was strange.
Under the puffy eyes.
Dried lips and bloodshot eyes.
fluttering gesture.
Some even drool and wait.
A group that looks like a zombie horde.
Such people were found all over Animal Crossing.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok-.”
“Kreuk, kreuk… … .”
They moved without stopping, making strange noises that could not be identified as human or animal.
The appearance of looking around endlessly seemed to be looking for raw meat full of blood.
It was then.
rustle-.
Something caught their sensitive senses.
At this, the people gathered together turned their gazes around.
And, all of a sudden, a rabbit girl who stumbled into a zombie horde by mistake.
“Hey, hey?!”
When she saw the pair of red-eyed eyes that touched her, she backed away in shock.
But how could a horde of zombies who have found their long-sought goal miss it?
“saturday… It’s a rabbit!”
“Catch it!”
“Mine… It’s mine!”
“Move!”
A swarm of zombies lost their temper and rushed towards the bunny girl.
The bunny girl, who was suppressed by the bloody force, terrified and took a step back, then got caught on a tree branch and collapsed.
“Oh, don’t come!”
It looks so fragile and fragile.
But that kind of look rather excited the zombie horde, and they drool and rushed.
“rabbit! rabbit! rabbit!”
“rabbit! rabbit! rabbit!”
“rabbit! rabbit! rabbit!”
Just like that, the rabbit girl is about to be covered by zombies.
Beep Beep- Beep!
A shrill whistle echoed through the air of Animal Forest.
It was a sign of something.
Upon hearing this, the movement of the zombies stopped like a lie.
Instead, they raised their hands that were about to tear the rabbit and started tearing at my hair.
“Oh, no!”
“I can’t do this!”
“please… Please give me a little more time!”
Seeing their madness, the rabbit girl let out a sigh of relief.
She quietly rose from her seat and turned her butt, carrying out her last mission toward the horde of zombies, no, the 50th riders, who were still tearing off their heads.
“As of the current time, the quest is over. Group 50 submit the skins collected at the entrance to the animal forest.”
Leaving only those words, the rabbit girl disappeared like a bolt of lightning.
It’s like avoiding dirty things.
As a result, the screams of the 50th grew even louder.
“damn! There is no labor cost with this!”
“little bit more… Give me a little more time!”
But time was only savage to them.
So on January 29th at 10:16.
The first integrated quest of the 50th generation, which lasted for 10 days, finally came to an end.
* * *
Gulp-.
The water in the canteen went down the esophagus coolly.
The uvula, which had been wriggling for so long, finally stopped.
“Paha!”
Fana Taylor let go of the breath she had been holding back.
Her shoulders drooped as she wiped away the water droplets that flowed down her lips.
After quenching the thirst I had endured, I felt a deep sense of exhaustion.
“under… I will live for a while now.”
Not long after she said that, Fana started to doze off.
It was then.
“Are you falling asleep during training? Get up right now, conduct!”
Fana jumped to her feet at the voice she heard from close by.
Then he got up, got up, and shouted in a very firm voice.
“City, conduct!”
Pana reflexively shouted that even though her face was dreamy.
Slowly waking up, she realized that something was wrong.
‘ah? right… here… Isn’t it a training camp?’
As I blinked my eyes like that, someone giggled right next to me.
“surprised? Cuck-cuck-cuck.”
“You… … .”
There, Nellie Blanc, whom she had become friends with at the cradle, was squatting.
Seeing her smiling, Fana wiped her chest.
Then he glanced at Nellie.
“You really thought your heart would explode!”
“Stupid, cowardly.”
“It’s more strange not to peck at that. look!”
Saying that, Fana pointed her finger at the surroundings.
Nellie Blanc followed Fana’s finger and turned her head.
She startled and shook her shoulders.
Tizzling-.
Eyes mixed with anger and annoyance pouring here and there.
They all jumped up from their seats like Fana and were clutching their chests.
If they didn’t apologize, Nellie thought it would be a big deal, so Nellie slightly bowed her head toward them and made an apologetic gesture.
Then he whispered softly in Pana’s ear.
“… It seems that everyone was taken to the hell training camp a lot?”
“How many times have you been dragged away?”
“third time.”
“Yes, you can play such a joke up to three times. But I… Six times.”
Pain flashed in Fana’s eyes.
Nellie, at a loss for words, just patted her friend on the shoulder.
Then Nellie asked Fana in a low voice.
“Fana, by any chance… Haven’t you felt that quests have become easier since sometime?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Um, so… Didn’t you feel that the raids had been infrequent for some time? I think it started like that from the 7th day onwards?”
After thinking about her question for a while, Fana shook her head.
“Come to think of it… … .”
Fana, who was taken to the hell training center six times.
It wasn’t just because she was lucky that she was able to finish the training camp with number 6.
It was because it was strangely easy to run away from the 7th day.
At first, I wondered if it was because I was adapting to it, but after listening to Nellie’s story, it seemed that the raids had certainly stopped since the 7th day.
“that’s right. I think the raids have decreased a lot since then.”
“Have you ever seen a bear since day 7?”
“No, I don’t think there was.”
“Isn’t that true?”
Nellie’s face hardened slightly, as if she had guessed something.
At this, Fana tilted her head.
“why? What’s going on?”
“no. It’s all over anyway, and you’ll find out in a little while.”
“… … ?”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it. So, did you collect a lot of hides?”
It was an obvious move to change the subject.
Fana just gave in to Nellie’s tricks.
“so so? It’s all rabbit skin. you?”
“I also have a rabbit skin and a few deer skins. And three wolf pelts.”
“oh my god… Wolf skin too?”
Fana’s eyes widened.
Nellie shrugged at this.
“Well, at least it’s Chapter 3, and I didn’t catch it alone.”
Then Nellie turned her gaze to one side.
There were two boys there.
A boy dressed very neatly, as if he had been alone in a different place.
A boy who exudes a somewhat rough and bad feeling.
Fana, who followed Nellie, blinked her eyes at them.
“Gunther Irons and Ivan Baskin? Did you move with them?”
“Somehow, the time we left the training center was the same.”
“Well, the three of you would have been able to catch a wolf.”
In terms of performance, Gunther was actually the majority of the three, but Nellie didn’t bother to mention it.
Then, this time, Fana threw a question in reverse.
“Oh right! Who do you think will win first place?”
If you place first, you will receive an additional 100% of the settled points.
Although the 2nd place receives an additional 50% and the 3rd place receives an additional 30%, the perks of the 1st place are so overwhelming that everyone’s attention was bound to be focused.
At Fana’s question, Nellie glanced around.
Gunter Irons.
Ivan Baskin.
Clarisse Van.
Eric Redman.
And a huge bald and blue-haired girl on one side.
I saw people with formidable skills.
But Nellie thought there was only one person who came in first place.
“Yeah, of course he… uh?”
Nellie, who was looking for black hair among the crowd, finally realized that ‘the guy with black hair’ was nowhere to be seen.
Sometimes black hair stood out one by one, but there was no rider with long black hair like him.
Nellie narrowed her eyes at this.
‘… no? is that guy? It can’t be?’
Nellie’s reaction seemed to make no sense at all.
She wasn’t the only one who reacted that way.
Some people, including Gunther, were also looking around for ‘the black-haired guy’ like Nellie.
But no matter how much they searched, they were all panicking when they couldn’t find him.
‘There really isn’t one?’
What that meant was simple.
‘That guy… Did you fall?’
A dropout in this quest refers to someone who voluntarily left the forest.
And most of the dropouts were those who escaped because they couldn’t stand the nightly beast attacks and hell training.
However, ‘the guy with the black hair’.
The guy who was at the forefront of the terrible white-walking ceremony.
Did you just escape from this level?
It was a fact that was hard to believe.
‘Ah, no way… … .’
When Nelly is in denial.
“Sort it out!”
Fifty aircraft’s heads turned around at the loud shout.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Black Swordsmen, the riders who had been stretched out all over the place moved swiftly.
Cheeky-.
In an instant, the 50 units that lined up and took a resting posture.
The man with glasses, who had led the Black Swordsman, smiled slightly at the appearance of the military discipline.
‘Now I’ve got a bit of an angle.’
Just ten days ago, this was unimaginable to the 50th generation.
However, the hell training and ritual training, which was close to torture, transformed the 50th.
If Yuri saw this… … .
[Hey, in just 10 days, social water has completely drained.]
… would have said
Of course, I didn’t have the glass to say that.
On the other hand, looking at the 50th aircraft standing motionless, the man with glasses exclaimed.
“All tallies are over. From now on, I will announce the 3rd through 1st place.”
At the same time, the man with glasses lifted up the file containing the points.
At this, some riders’ eyes lit up.
‘If it were me, I wouldn’t have gotten first place, but wouldn’t I have gotten third?’
‘Maybe it was in the rankings… … .’
Those who are quite confident in the results of this quest.
They all had high hopes.
In a tense moment, the third place was announced.
“Third place, Clarice Van, 87 rabbits, 23 deer, 5 wolves. Acquired 452,000 points.”
When the number of hides was mentioned along with the ranking, the expectations of those who collected less than that disappeared in an instant.
Before the jockeys had time to express their disappointment, the second place was announced.
“No. 2, Gunter Irons. 231 rabbits, 42 deer, 11 wolves. Acquisition point 991,000.”
Even when the second place was announced, the names of Arin and Poppy, who earned at least 1.5 million points, were not mentioned.
If anyone had known that, they would have been puzzled.
However, those who did not know anything were simply amazed at the 990,000 points accumulated by the second place.
In particular, for those who only caught a few rabbits in this quest, hundreds of thousands of points were no different from another world.
‘990,000 points.’
‘under… I wish I had 100,000 points.’
The envy of the other riders turned to Gunther.
And now, only the announcement of No. 1 is left.
people thought
Second place is 990,000 points, so first place is between 100 and 1.5 million points, right?
Or from 3rd to 2nd place, the increase is about twice as high, so 1st place is twice as much as 2nd place, so it’s about 2 million points?
While people were roughly predicting how many points the number 1 would have, the name of the number 1 was finally mentioned.
“No. 1, Bovikrtankapurtavi.”
Attention was drawn to the unusual and eccentric name.
Then he turned over the file folder the man with glasses was holding and said.
“hmm… It’s a bit much, so listen carefully.”
