“Now is the right time when everyone is confused by the entrance ceremony incident. Since everyone is preoccupied, the opportunity to accept the request I want increases.”
“The entrance ceremony incident? what happened now?”
“There is such a thing. Now, everyone will be focusing on other things. At that time, we lick only the yolk in a secluded field. Got it?”
“… … .”
Nike didn’t seem to understand that he could hunt monsters to raise his grades.
I don’t understand why catching monsters is a grade?
On this I could only give a brief explanation.
“The purpose of the establishment of this prison academy is to raise heroes worthy of the game of the gods. Dance is a feat worthy of a hero. In fact, note-taking and practice are only secondary purposes for cowards.”
In D&A, events such as written exams and practice were always side quests.
It’s a solution for gamers who keep dying or failing in dungeons.
It’s like going to a dungeon after hardening your specs by hardening your skills through written tests or practice events.
For some reason, in this world, the protagonists of adventures and trials were overturned.
Obviously, the achievement points and rewards will remain the same.
said Nike.
“I know that, too. It’s not just that people study and raise their grades. Isn’t it because it’s difficult to catch monsters? It’s not like we have two lives.”
Nike’s words made sense.
Our lives cannot be retried.
If you die while hunting monsters, that’s it.
“That’s why I spend money.”
“I’m trying to match the equipment or something… ?”
“no. I know when I see it.”
I headed to the “Adventure Hall” where requests for monster subjugation were given.
The “Hall of Adventure” had an atmosphere like an inn for adventurers.
“But it is very quiet.”
The place that I thought would be crowded was more dreary than I could have imagined, and only a strange piece of scrap metal was sweeping the floor.
why are you so quiet
No matter how much it is an entrance ceremony event, it makes no sense that no one is there.
Please note that this is not a person.
「Request. to order Are you here?」
It was scrap metal with hard words.
You could call me a robot.
A robot with a leg-like upper body on a lower body with one wheel.
「Order Helper – Albaroid」
Also known as Albarobot!
Nice to see you like this
However, unlike what I remember, it was very old and rusty.
there is no manager
Nike blinked his eyes wide a few times.
“Is this an automatic doll? It’s my first time seeing an automaton! It’s the first time I’ve come to this Hall of Adventure in the first place!”
“is it?”
“Is it something made with the technology of the gods? It’s very strange. How is it moving?”
In fact, it would be surprising to see robots in this world that is closely intertwined with medieval and fantasy.
“envy. I don’t eat, I don’t sleep. How much money would I have saved if I could have done that… ?”
Isn’t it a bit strange to see a robot?
“Nike, if you accidentally touch it and it breaks, we have to ask.”
“Yeah, that much I know.”
I stood in front of what looked like a vending machine in the corner.
There was a part that looked like a coin slot.
It was a hole in which to put 500 René.

Inject 500 René.
Beep beep.
The vending machine runs with a clattering sound.
Finally, letters come to mind on the black and white screen.
Babam.
「Subjugation: Meong Meong Meong Meong Meong Meong Meong Meong Kung!
Catch the ‘plains wolf’ that makes noise every night.
0/30
Achievement Reward: 50,000R. Strength +1」
“Is it a Tier 3 request? I have to focus on working as I thought.”
As I expected, Rene and his abilities are given as compensation.
Even so, Renee gives permanent abilities.
If I practice as shown here, my body will actually become stronger.
The principle is not explained in detail.
A magical engineering device that is said to have been made with the transcendent technology of the gods.
And only vaguely felt that the magic metal currency ‘René’, which is the only one that can operate it, works harmoniously.
This is why Rene, which is mined and used only in Ludens, has a high value.
Because Renee has the power to change reality.
However, Nike was stunned by this amazing miracle.
“Plain wolves are very dangerous guys! It’s a guy who can only catch two or three if thirty people come together… !”
Thirty people had to come to catch the plains wolf?
It’s an amazing story in its own way.
How low is the level?
“It’s not even someone else’s story.”
I can’t catch that plains wolf right now either.
So I put in 500 René again.
Beep beep.
“Victor. What are you doing? 500 René is disappearing all the time?”
“Get rid of the swamp crocodile. The reward for the tier 2 quest is good, but I didn’t get what I wanted this time either. Put it back in.”

“… You can buy half an egg for 500 René!”
Nike screamed as if he had lost his mind at this bizarre reset scene.
10 minutes after standing in front of the vending machine.
The lost amount is 100,000 ren.
“I was hungry for lunch today… !”
“Think of it as an investment. I only believe in you, Nike.”
“Ugh… !”

“Hey, until when are you going to do it?”
“That’s right, until it comes out. don’t be so scared The odds are about one in a thousand. As a rule of thumb, if you put it in about a thousand times, it will come out.”
Oh, just trust me

“… … .”

Silently, only the sound of rolling coins echoed in the hall. Even though I had already used 2 million René, the list I wanted did not appear.
“… … .”
As far as I know, there are quite a few tier 1 quests that give generous rewards to this vending machine.
If you calculate the probability of catching ‘that guy’ among them, isn’t it about one in a thousand?
So, shouldn’t it have come out around the time when 500,000 Renae was used, or at least when 1 million Renae was used.
Am I not this lucky?
Yeah, honestly, I wouldn’t say I’m lucky in this weird situation, but it’s crossed the line.

“… … .”
If it wasn’t for Viktor’s steel mentality, it was clear that sweat would have been seeping out of his hands and back by now. It may be because of my mood, but the back of my head is exceptionally itchy.
“… Victor… ! you… !”
“wait a moment. comes out a little bit. Almost, almost there! In just a little while, the jackpot will hit! If we stop here, everything we’ve done so far will become meaningless!”
“That’s what we call the sunk cost fallacy! It’s a waste of money spent so far, so you’re continuing! I don’t know what I’m trying to do, but now is the time to stop!”
Did the earth mage Nike know about the sunk cost fallacy?
Read at noblemtl.com
Junchi even if it rots.
Is this a class C student at Prison School?
“As expected Nike, isn’t your father doing stocks?”
But Nike is wrong.
“It is absolutely not a sunk cost fallacy. obviously comes out A little further.”
“stop! Come on, get away from the vending machine!”

As Rene was put in without a break, I was busily rolling my head.
Perhaps, as Nike said, it is the sunk cost fallacy.
Could there be a variable that I don’t know exists in the vending machine in this reality? As the DLC was added, the probability fluctuated.
No, it can’t be.
So far, I have checked most of the list of quests from Tier 1 to Tier 3 while playing the roulette wheel. Same as what I remembered and organized.
If so, surely there is that too.
So when I finally used about 3 million renae.

「Subjugation: Defeat Spring Wildling!
Spring soon.
Rumor has it that spring wildlings are appearing in the canyon.
Please kill him.
0/5
Reward: 5,000,000R. A proof of the greatest adventure.”
“Spring Wilding… ?”
Nike screamed in astonishment.
“I heard that they explode at the slightest provocation… . If you get caught in an explosion, you won’t even leave a trace… .”
“An explosion at the slightest provocation? They are exactly what I was looking for. This is the only tier 1 subjugation quest we can do right now. I will also give you a certificate of the best adventure.”
“… How are you going to catch him?”
“I know when I see it.”
Spring wildling is actually not a big deal.
Literally just brushing against it will cause it to explode at will.
The really scary thing is this island Ludens.
“Nike, there’s something I need to check first. What is your fitness level?”
“me?”
Nike, flinching, looked at me for a moment and gave me a slightly wary look.
“It’s not like you’re asking something like that. You don’t know too well, Victor.”
I guess it’s personal information.
In this prison academy, everyone is a competitor.
It’s better to have at least one more secret card.
“Above or below 50? Just say that.”
“… under.”
“Right.”
If it’s below 50, it’s probably around 20 to 30. Since HP increases by 1 per HP, it can be seen that Nike’s HP is about 20/30 dots.
For reference, my Viktor’s HP is 83.
The total HP is equal to 83.
“But why do you ask… ?”
“necessary.”
* * *
Ludens is full of all kinds of natural environments.
From the land of boiling magma to the cold snowy mountains.
Various mysteries are hidden in places where it is difficult for humans to live.
Among them was the canyon of poisonous air.
It is literally a canyon full of poison.
In the game, I received 1 dot damage per second just by standing still. In other words, Victor with 83 HP can survive there for 83 seconds.
If there was something called “Song of Purification” that could be obtained around the 8th act, I could ignore this poison damage, but it was impossible for me to get it right now.
So this is the method used.
~Operation to steal HP using luxury spice soup~.
The effect of taking the Tier 1 food “Luxury Spice Soup” is simple. Recovers all HP when used.
At the same time, increase total HP by up to 200 points.
Then even I, Viktor, who only has 83 HP, can survive for more than 200 seconds in the crevice of this gorge.
“Nike, from now on, it’s the poisonous canyon. Your neck and eyes will itch. Can you stand it?”
“me? I’m rather fine… . But it really works… ?”
Because it does.
“Then go.”
We entered the canyon located in the field outside the academy.
As I walked down the slope, a yellow, cloudy mist crept in from under the bridge and covered my neck and face before I knew it.
It stings a lot.
What should I do?
Yes, it feels like being in a chemical room without a gas mask.
My eyes are burning and my nose and throat are tingling.
But Viktor was much more powerful than I thought.
“It’s more tolerable than you think.”
Hey, catch Gao in this situation?
The quirk 《Steel》 is good.
Is it because it has the effect of halving poison damage like a steel attribute?
My current HP is 283, so I can survive in this for about 500 seconds through the steel quirk.
“Twenty-five. twenty-six.”
Still, the countdown had to be made sure.
Unlike the game, it didn’t show the current remaining HP.
“Nike, are you okay?”
“I can bear it… ! There was a poisonous grass area in Rashguard Forest too. It’s like there… . It’s a bit thirsty, but… ! If you’re a black magician, you’ll have to endure this much… !”
Nike was also tougher than I thought.
Is it that there is a vibe that has lived a homeless life as a dirt spoon?
We walked through a miasmic canyon where we couldn’t even see an inch ahead. Then, finally, I was able to find a bunch of guys lurking in this canyon.
– Kyu-i-ing.
It was a red, round creature.
Its body is made of viscous liquid, and only its two eyes are exceptionally yellow.
Slime.
It was a kind of wildling that looked similar to it, ‘spring wildling’.
I picked up a nearby rock and threw it at him.
Took.
The guy who was stimulated said, “Kyuiing… ! It explodes.
“Spring Wildling Kill 1/5”
“do. Nike, did it appear in front of you too?”
“Yes! The letters came to mind!”
Yes, yes, yes!
Spice soup that can be made from the 2nd time when the mysterious forest is opened, spring wilding nogada!
“Nike, I also collect their by-products. Even though they live in a place like this, they become valuable ingredients for cooking.”
“Coke, yes… ! Oh my gosh, I never thought there would be a way like this… ! I never thought that spice soup could be used like this! Did you really think this far?”
“I cannot deny it. But it’s a method that can’t be used multiple times. If this method spreads, other guys will follow suit and the seeds of wildling will dry up, so now we are aiming for a beginner’s special.”
Nike and I hurriedly tossed stones through the poison fog.
When you gradually reach your limit, eat the soup you prepared in advance and recharge your energy.
As time passed like that, the five of them were able to be subdued quickly.
Unlike other Tier 1 monsters, they were hard to find in the field and easy to catch.
Of course I knew all five armies where they spawned.
“I have more free time than I thought.”
“yes? is that so? Then let’s get out of here! Gradually, my throat hurts too!”
“wait.”
Thanks to the eccentricity of 《Steel》, I had more HP left than I thought, so I also picked up the ‘Tombstone’ that can be obtained in the Valley of Poison.
「Old Memory Epitaph #3: The God of the Anvil and the Furnace spoke. “Isn’t it a pity that we are the only ones enjoying this perfect island?” So the gods decided to appoint an eighth dice roll. Gilgamesh, the king of humans, was chosen as the representative… .”
“Were you also under a rotten tree? To be honest. And this should be enough for my role in the group assignment.”
Group assignment data research.
Supply of cooking ingredients.
And 5,000,000 Rene and the certificate of the best adventure.
This is about 2.5 million René. Isn’t it good to burn it as an investment?
It’s not because I wanted to gacha.
* * *
We were able to return to the interior of Ludens Academy before the sun went down.
“tired. I feel like throwing up. I think it will take a few hours for the miasma to go away… . Coke. My head is also pounding… . Ugh.”
“Almost there. Straighten your shoulders.”
buzz buzz.
The inside of the academy when we arrived was quite cluttered, but it was obvious without looking at it.
“Daily, did the monsters invade?”
“Yes, it was Lougaru and the spiders. Even though the transfer student defeated it.”
“Is it so?”
“Is that so- no! men and horses! Did you say it was great? I did it with a sword, so it split in half! Of course, I was taken to the enforcement committee for illegal use of weapons on campus.”
There’s a lot of news,” Daily said, raising his lips.
Is it true?
Come to think of it, the students who gathered around the corpses of the monsters all over the place said, “What a transfer student… .” or “Surely defeated Victor… .”
Even if I didn’t have to help him, Luke, the main character, did well on his own.
Rather, I feel relieved.
Starting from this episode, Luke will become a “special weapon holder” and solve problems around the academy.
“More than that, Victor. What the hell is that mole? Did the bomb hit? what an awful smell… .”
“Similar.”
“Wait, wait, what is that? That’s what he heard in his hand. Isn’t that the red, spring wildling slime that’s in your hand!? That guy is a Tier 1 monster! Living in a poisonous place… !”
Daily guy, he notices very fast again.
How else did you know that this was the slime of a Tier 1 monster?
“Oh my God, Victor!”
Daily, the vice-head of the newspaper department in the second year, started shouting loudly into my ear as I was getting dizzy.
“Victor, are you saying that the guy who was expelled from the student council and couldn’t even wear a sword hunted Tier 1 monsters? now!?”
“Is there a problem? There won’t be any rules against that.”
I did what was legal and regulation-friendly.
Although the slovenliness of the deceased went in slightly.
As far as legal, there is no problem.
So there is no reason to take away or return what I have taken.
right viktor?
However, there seemed to be a problem with Daily Guy’s head.
“You really have no answers, Victor.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because he’s a trouble-free guy! it sells! This is an article that sells! It’s not the time to write articles about Lougaru breaking into the academy!”
