183 – Fetch – 1
‘The name doesn’t seem to have changed.’
As soon as I mentioned the name ‘Fetch’, I felt relieved that the smirk that had come up in my mind had disappeared.
In the game, the NPC that used to be Arcana was changed to Minerva, and just as the names of the emperors and popes of the Holy Land also changed, what if the name of Fech changed as well as the gender change?
If that had been the case, I would have had to repeat the cumbersome task of buying things every time I found a fetch after meeting and breaking up.
And, to be honest, if that name had been changed, I would have been a bit sad.
fetch.
A legendary character who transcended time and space, and appeared in all series from Brightest Darkness 1 to Brightest Darkness 4.
Even the NPC that gave the Taeyang hurray gesture in Brunet 1 couldn’t come out directly from Brunit 2. Even if its popularity was truly staggering.
But Fetch did it.
It is unknown whether all four people who appeared in the 4th episode are the same Fetch, but anyway, the name Fetch, the distinctive bald head, and the voice and voice actor were kept the same, so it was almost an established theory among users that they were the same person.
In addition, when Fetch himself continues to press chat after purchasing a certain amount of goods, he secretly spills out the nuanced words that he has sold things for a very long time.
It’s not really like that, but it’s probably closer to the fact that the production company knew Fetch’s cult popularity and included it with the intention of providing fan service.
“How about it, do you think you’re willing to talk now?”
“ha ha ha. I don’t know what you mean. It’s pechran. Who is that?”
“You know best that it is useless to deny it with that expression. Why don’t we just start doing business quietly?”
“… … .”
The girl with hot pink twin tails looked like she was thinking about something for a long time at my words.
The money I showed you was real, so you’re probably thinking hard with your characteristic swindler temperament.
While Fetch was thinking, I also carefully observed Fetch. Like all other NPCs, Fetch was very different from his appearance in the game. First of all, the biggest thing was that he wasn’t bald.
Her hair was more than pink, almost hot pink. Claudia also has pink hair, but the color is not the same at all.
If Claudia’s was a pink color that gave off the feeling of a delicate cherry blossom petal, Fetch was close to a flashy color that was no different from hot pink. Her eyes were too pink to the point where I was dizzy.
The twin tails tied in two strands near the ears came down to the buttocks, revealing a playfulness that could not be hidden at all on the face.
Her attire was also like that of a woman in this world.
Wearing pink under-boop tights as a top wasn’t enough, and as a bottom, she was wearing pink tights that were the same length as Rize’s dolphin pants.
It was an exposure that would not be pushed at all no matter where it was put out. If it wasn’t for the long red coat that came down to the ankles, compared to the Knicks and Popes, the exposure itself would not have been very small.
However, the chest was very weak, so the destructive power was far less. If I had a big chest in that outfit, it would have been a fashion to expose my nipples instead of my lower breasts.
Behind her was a backpack the size of her body. It was the only part identical to the game.
“This is true! If that’s the case, I can’t help it!”
Fetch, who was preoccupied with something until I finished my observation, smiled broadly and gave me a wink.
“This fetch sells everything except the ones that aren’t on sale, so take your time looking around!”
The bag was lowered to the ground with a thud, along with the line, ‘We sell everything except what is not sold’, which is the symbol of Fetch, which he said every time he appeared.
Fetch opened the bag. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary bag, but it has a structure that opens on both sides like a wardrobe to see if there is something like a support inside.
‘In the game, only the UI appeared.’
Leaving Petch smiling nearby, I stood in front of the bag with Rize and Nyx.
While I was mentally calculating the price for the consumables that looked familiar, Rize, who had picked up a high-grade potion and looked at it, made a smirk on her face and whispered to me.
“delta. Isn’t this girl crazy? They take 1.5 times more than what they sell in the city?”
Rize stuck out her tongue, but I wasn’t too surprised because it was a price I’d already experienced.
Fetch was an NPC that could be found in many different places. Even in the Poison Swamp in the southern part of the continent, it was busy wandering around the continent enough to appear in a few specific places.
I don’t know if that’s why, but the things they sell are also diverse. From the end of the Empire to the end of the Holy Kingdom, all the consumables sold in the shops on the continent went through the shops in Pech, so I said that.
Theoretically, even if you only met fetch, you could get all the consumables sold at the store.
According to his own argument, that’s why the price is 1.5 times. It can’t be helped because it travels all over the continent while always maintaining the highest quality.
Of course, most of the responses were to stop talking nonsense because it was an NPC with hatred for users.
“ah! Wait a minute! Wait! You just touched it! You must buy anything you touch!”

Just as Rize was about to put down the potion she just picked up, Fetch kicked it! With a smile on his face, he raised one hand and blocked Rize. Rize frowned.
“what? are you kidding me now? Where is that?”
“It’s probably all about touching a customer once, but I have to meet dozens of those ‘one-time customers’ every day! What do you think will happen to a potion bottle if you touch it dozens of times? I can’t even sell it because it’s dirty! So! The rule is that you must buy anything you touch once!”
Fetch, who had deliberately said ‘So’ in one syllable and emphasized it, pushed his chest forward as if it were not there. It was as if he was proud of himself.
The people next to me were Rize and Nyx, so the comparison was pitiful. I mean, why would you do that between the two of us?
‘Still, it’s bigger than Ceres.’
When the words came out, I suddenly became curious. How is Ceres doing now?
I don’t know if the Fengyuhwan effect will still remain. Even in the game, the effect is maintained until the final boss is defeated, so it means that it lasts for quite a long time.
“Sounds crazy— whoops!”
“okay. I will live, so put that down.”
“lol. Thank you!”
I covered Rize’s mouth with the palm of my hand and threw the potion I just picked up. Fetch took it lightly and gently put it down on the floor.
Anyway, to trigger the event I want, I have to spend more than a certain amount in the fetch shop. I picked up everything I could get my hands on and threw it at Fetch.
Fetch did a good job of catching objects thrown around and lined them up nearby.
By the time the amount calculated in my head reached the target, I stopped shopping. Nearby, the items I picked out were lined up in a row. A smile did not leave Fetch’s lips.
“How much does it cost?”
“Yes! I’ll do everything and get 15,620 gold!”
A very cheerful voice returned. Without further ado, I handed over the bags full of gold coins. After accepting it, Fetch began counting the money in his pocket one by one.
After a while, Fetch bowed his head with a mouth-watering smile.
“Has confirmed! Thank you for your purchase! customer!”
‘I don’t really think I was ripped off.’
In the game, every time I bought it, it was compared to the price of the original item, so it felt like a waste.
‘Is it because of the appearance and clothes?’
A pink-haired beautiful girl wearing tights the size of panties and smiling as she thanked the underboob, showing off her smooth 11th abs to the pit of the stomach, I didn’t really think that she was a con artist.
In the game, I saw a lot of posts saying that a bald guy pretended to be close and called me ‘Hyung’, so I was offended and hit it all off. Isn’t that just a scammer? There were many users like this.
Anyway, to me, this fetch is equally a scammer. There is no such thing as dying because you get caught up in your appearance and then you can’t do what you have to do.
“Can I ask you something? You bought a lot.”
While Nyx teleported the acid accumulated with consumables, he sneaked up to Fetch and whispered.
“Sorry, but I am not for sale. No matter how much money you give me, I won’t sell myself, so don’t invite me.”
And when I heard the answer that came back, I was dumbfounded for a while.
“… … It’s not like that, so don’t you think it’s weird?”
“Oh, sorry! Since I was traveling alone, I got a lot of questions about that. Then you’ll have to answer. What question do you have?”
“I want to see some of the things that only you have.”
“Aha! You see! All right!”
Fetch replied cheerfully and reached for the back of the bag. It was a request from someone who had just bought well over 10,000 gold, so he looked very fast.
This was the reason why it was hard to see this fetch event in the first playthrough. It’s the first round, where there are already a lot of places to go, but there are few people who will spend 10,000 gold for each fetch.
As a first-time user who has to save even a penny, what’s the point of using a fetch that costs 50% more than the price?
Instead, it was a very simple condition in the high round. No matter how many times you die, you lose half of your gold, but for 10,000 gold, even if you just beat the street mobs roughly, it’s like the price of gum.
‘Then what do you do? The most important seller has no trust.’
However, the first time users were often hit in the back of the head by this guy before they even went shopping for 10,000 gold, and then came back in a fit of rage and killed Fetch.
There are also users who say that they got hit in the back of the head so hard during their first encounter that they killed each other in every round of related events, so that’s all I said.
Honestly, if you look at the epic history of fetch events, it was worth it.
“Here you go! Take a look!”
Fetch gestured to see if the display of goods was over. I went back to the back of the bag. Even at first glance, consumables that looked quite expensive were lined up.
All of these items were items that could only be bought once per game, even in the game. So if you open this shop and don’t purchase items, a special ambassador will appear.
“I’ll do it with this.”
I picked up the rolled up map at the very end. On the price tag below, I saw the words ‘Pech’s treasure map!’ written in skewed writing.
Fetch gave me a startled look as I picked it up.
“uh… … Are you really going to choose that?”
“right. why? Any problems?”
“no. It’s not like that. I’m just a little surprised.”
Fetch seemed to be slightly conflicted.
It’s a treasure map made to kill whoever picks it up by stabbing it in the back, but since I’ve shown such a hogu-like appearance, isn’t it better to save it and eat it over and over again? You must be thinking that.
I waved the map in my hand slightly.
“So, are you selling it? will you speak?”
“I will sell it. Well, that’s what I put there for.”
The trouble was short-lived. Well, considering the price, it must be too much to not sell to someone who wants to buy it.
“How much is it?”
“A million gold.”
Even though they had already been explained to me, I calmly opened my mouth while Rize and Nyx gasped slightly at the enormous amount.
“A million on one map? Is it too expensive?”
Of course, I knew and chose. And in the game, there was an option to hear the price and complain that it was too expensive.
“No, no! If you listen to my explanation, will you change your mind?”
“yes? Then, please explain.”
“This treasure map is amazing! It’s a place I’ve been exploring myself! It’s an ancient ruin that only I know of, but if you add up the value of the treasures inside, it’s worth two million gold.”
Fetch spread his arms wide to the sides and explained with hand gestures and foot gestures.
“Two million gold… … If there are ruins like that, you should explore and wipe them all out. Why did you leave it there?”
“Ah, that… … It’s embarrassing, but my skills aren’t enough to explore all the ruins. Still, it’s a waste to leave it alone, so I just marked the location and kept it there until someone showed up to appreciate it! The entrance is well camouflaged, so it’s okay!”
Fetch, who held up the map like a mask in front of his mouth, laughed heheheh with only his eyes sticking out. It was such a naive smile that if someone I didn’t know saw it, I would feel really embarrassed.
“okay. I’ll believe it. Come on, take it.”
I handed over the large pouch again, and after checking it for a much longer time than before, Fetch bowed his head with the corner of his mouth caught in his ear.
“Yes! Confirmed! I don’t know if you can find it just by looking at the map, but can I guide you to the ruins?”
“Thank you for that. I’ll pay, so let’s go to the carriage. So, here. go borrow it All that’s left is you.”
“All right! I’ll be right back! Oh, please take care of my luggage for a moment! It’ll be done really soon!”
When I held out a bag of gold coins that was much heavier than the price of a wagon even if I could touch it, Fetch snatched it up in an instant and ran to the nearby city.
By the time Fetch’s figure had completely disappeared, I smiled at the map in my hand.
“Perhaps you think of me as an ignorant, filthy young boy from a rich family?”
“Yeah. You don’t change your expression and do something like that?”
“hehehe, I will… … .”
Rize and Nix had heard the explanation a long time ago. From the fact that the woman is an impostor to the fact that the ruins marked on this map are full of traps.
That’s why I said I didn’t want to do it with other people’s money. You have to be tricked once in order to run a fetch event, but being scammed with money borrowed from others is a bit different.
Even if I do, I have to pay with my money.
“Okay, so. what are you going to do First of all, from you.”
“I’ll tell you that I was worried about us and sent them back first, so I told them to follow the wagon so they wouldn’t be seen.”
“I remember it well. Nyx are you?”
“hehehe, I’m not confident in hiding, so he told me to teleport later when he sends a signal.”
As a sign of praise for answering well, he stroked their heads and gestured. Nyx teleported away and Rize hid herself nearby.
It was surprising that even with such a chest, her body could be completely hidden.
‘How am I supposed to greet you after leaving the ruins?’
I leaned against a nearby tree and waited for Fetch to return. First of all, I told Lize not to kill Fetch even if I meet him later, so I’m sure I’ll survive somehow.
