Enlightenment
A machine made of inorganic materials is using the Mystic Eye of Truth.
Yuseong, who understood the evil eye of truth as a kind of physical talent, couldn’t help but be astonished.
‘No, is it a physical talent in the first place?’
Yuseong had never seriously considered the evil eye of truth until now.
Unlike other skills that have room for improvement, the Demonic Eye of Truth was a perfect skill with nothing to add or subtract.
If it hadn’t been for this incident, there would never have been a serious examination of the demonic eye of truth in the future.
‘If you think about it, Aris naturally used the Mystic Eye of Truth even when she only had a soul. Because of the ability to visualize energy, I unconsciously thought it was an ability that came from the body, but if it could be used even with only the soul… … .’
In an instant, lightning struck Yoosung’s head.
‘The evil eye of truth is a spiritual talent.’
little realization.
But even the results were not trivial.
It was because he was able to recognize the power that was within himself by realizing where the ability called the demonic eye of truth came from.
[The ‘Spiritual Power’ stat is created.]
A different kind of power than mana or internal energy.
Yooseong, who was staring blankly at the pure white aura on the palm of his hand, returned to reality at the heavy sound of metal colliding.
thud! thud!
“Why are you doing this? You added an auto-balance system to the advanced attitude control?”
Aris, who tried to step forward, lost her balance and fell to the floor.
As if she was not used to moving her body, she fell down several times. Sophia, taken out a tablet and touched various things, and the gynoid sagged like a doll with a thread cut off.
After a while, Aris’ soul came out of the gynoid.
-… … Is this different from moving a doll? I don’t even know how to move when it’s difficult to move, and I feel like it’s not delivered properly even when I give orders.
‘I thought I would be able to move without a sense of difference because it’s a human form, but it wasn’t that simple.’
Well, there was no way that the difficulty of moving a simple doll and moving a robot made with state-of-the-art technology were the same.
I was so busy developing a secret technique to possess the soul that I hadn’t thought about it.
While Yuseong was lost in thought for a long time, Sophia, who had finished checking the gynoids, spoke in a somber voice.
“… … I’m sorry. It seems that there is a fatal error in the AI. I’ve never had this before, so I don’t know why I’m suddenly having this problem.”
“No, I must apologize. It’s broken because of me.”
Yooseong explained everything to Sofia, who was embarrassed.
At first, Sofia calmly listened to the explanation, but as the story progressed, her expression gradually began to crack.
And the moment the story was over, Sophia sighed softly.
“To put the souls of the dead into gynoids. Putting aside the idea, is that even possible?”
“It moves with the soul dwelling in the empty body. It’s simple. Why is this impossible?”
“Yeah… … .”
soul and science.
I thought it wouldn’t work because the two images were completely polar opposites, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t necessarily like that.
Only the shape has changed, but the basic principle is no different from the production of living armor or high-ranking undead.
It could be said that the only difficulty was finding a way to contain the soul and keep it in that state, but if Meteor could handle it, it wouldn’t be a problem in the end.
“… … Thinking about it, it seems like it could be. But isn’t this something that needs to be told in advance before making things?”
“sorry. I thought it would be over if I just possessed the soul, but I didn’t know that this kind of problem would arise. I will apologize again.”
“There is no need to apologize. I don’t know if it’s a finished product, but the prototype was originally created to receive feedback and make modifications, so it played its role well enough. Is there anything else you’re hiding?”
Yuseong, who was worried, went down with a puzzled expression as if he remembered something.
And in Meteor’s hand that reappeared, he had the prosthetic arm and leg of the dwarf Vulcan obtained in [Twisted World].
“This is the last one. Take a look at this and apply it to the gynoids if you have any useful skills.”
“At first glance, it looks like something made with completely outdated technology. I’ll check it out first.”
“great. Then I’m off to the quest… … .”
Yuseong, who was about to leave, was forced to stop by Sophia’s hand holding her shoulder.
“You can’t go like this.”
“… … Did I forget something else?”
“As you can see, the existing gynoids are not suitable for the purpose Yooseong wants. Perhaps the error was caused by a conflict between the commands given by the soul and the AI. To create a program to solve this problem, related data is essential. And the only person who can provide that data is Yoosung.”
Sophia smiled unnaturally bright and raised a finger.
“Shall we start lightly with a thousand?”
* * *
“Um… … .”
It feels like someone is poking a needle through my head.
Yooseong, who was groaning from a severe headache, woke up from the bed after a long time had passed.
‘I can’t believe I’ll fill it a thousand times.’
If it was a skill that simply uses energy, it could be performed not a thousand times, but ten thousand times.
However, the secret technique that allows the soul to dwell in objects consumed not only energy but also mental strength.
At first, he went out confidently, believing in his mental stat that exceeded 1,000 points, but before he could fill half of the pack, he realized his limitations and tried to compromise, asking if he could do the rest next time.
However, Sophia’s will was determined, and in the end, Meteor was barely able to fill the volume for two full days.
“a. In the end, you can do everything, but be careful.”
It was fortunate that the spirit ran out.
If he had had even the slightest bit of mental strength at that time, there might have been a terrible bloodshed.
‘Should I sleep a little longer?’
Yuseong, who was looking at the pattern on the ceiling spinning round and round with blank eyes, let out a small sigh and shook his head.
Although he was tired, he did not know that if he stayed here, he would be captured by Sophia again and used as a data shuttle.
Now, in order to survive, he had no choice but to do quests.
After taking a warm shower and emptying a can of beer that was cold enough to make your teeth ache, Yoosung wore goggles with a more relaxed expression.
[Access to the multidimensional navigation system.]
[The quest observation was successful.]
An endless list of quests.
Yuseong narrowly opened his eyes and was lost in thought.
‘What kind of quest should I do?’
There are numerous criteria for choosing a quest, but Meteor generally chose quests based on real problems.
When I was having trouble with financial problems, I chose [I can’t hold out anymore] to get gold coins and mana stones, and to solve Aris’ chain quest, [Unidentified Creature. Very hostile to humans] and obtained a regenerative ampoule, and to make up for the lack of military power, he obtained martial arts by performing [the youngest disciple of Jincheon’s martial arts family].
But now there was nothing to be concerned about.
“First of all, money is not so urgent.”
Thanks to Sophia’s idea of recycling resources in the area to be scrapped, the cost of repairing Dragonia has been drastically reduced.
Of course, it was still a huge amount, but it was able to endure for a while because of the compensation paid by the US government.
“There are no suitable artifacts.”
Artifacts have meaning only when they can be used.
Numerous artifacts appeared in quest descriptions or rewards, but most of them were weapons such as swords, swords, spears, bows, and guns. Almost non-existent.
“The most passable thing is, after all, a skill… … . The problem is, I don’t know what skills I need right now.”
The performance of Tyrant’s arms was truly overwhelming.
Strong muscle strength and special options solved attack, defense, and mobility at the same time, and because of that, Yooseong never felt regret even while fighting numerous monsters in the United States.
Because he didn’t know what he was lacking right now, he couldn’t even get a sense of what skills he needed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yooseong finally picked out two keywords.
‘As many rewards as possible.’
I missed 20 days because of the ridiculous time multiplier of 120 times, and an additional 15 days because of the prophecy of God of War.
Total 35 days.
If you can’t compensate for the lost time, you have to make up for the loss by clearing the quest to get as much reward as possible.
And if that happens, a problem will naturally follow.
‘difficulty.’
A quest with a lot of rewards, of course, comes with its own difficulties.
Excluding [Twisted World], which was barely cleared due to luck and coincidence, the highest grade quest cleared so far is C-.
It was a grade that did not match the reward Yooseong was thinking of.
‘Currently, the quests I can perform with my abilities are C-grade. Even if you overdo it, the C grade is the limit. However… … .’
“The difficulty of the quest is not proportional to the grade.”
[Cheonma Shinyo. The realization obtained while clearing [The Last Moment].
Using this realization, Yuseong succeeded in clearing the D+ grade quest by jumping three levels at once in an E+ grade quest.
“I can’t do quests that have a lot of weight. The kind of quest where you can use your tricks and tricks as much as possible.”
Yoosung, who had returned to Earth and obtained several notebooks and pens, took a long deep breath and began to check the quests one by one.
First check the difficulty level, second check the reward, third check the content.
About one out of ten passed the first round, and the ratio of passing through the second round was also unified.
1 quest picked out of 100 quests.
Yuseong, who copied the contents into a notebook, immediately repeated looking for the next quest.
After taking a full day to fill up his notebook, Yuseong took a short break and immediately started analyzing the quest.
‘This is very uncertain, and it seems that this will work out somehow, but as of now, it is almost impossible to meet the basic conditions, and this takes too long… … .’
square square.
Nothing is heard except the sound of the pen brushing the paper.
On the paper, an analysis of the quest and a number of strategies based on it were written.
It wasn’t a fair rule.
A strategy that is thoroughly strewn with tricks and expedients.
It took another day to write down strategies for all the quests, and another day to pick out the most realistic quests from there.
“Three days just to choose a quest… … .”
This, too, could be said to be fortunate.
If it hadn’t been for luck, it might have taken 30 days instead of 3.
After completing all preparations, Yooseong took a deep breath and started the quest.
[Starts with ‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m the main character’.]
[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]
[Dimensional coordinates specified and connection of Ariadne’s thread completed.]
[Spirit moves.]
A notebook that remains where the meteor disappeared.
Above it was written in large letters: B+.
