Clearing the Game at the End of the World Chapter 18

Chapter.3 For that handful of silver coins (1)

***

Push, push!

The door of the connector opened, and with the sound of circulating air escaping all at once, a cool breeze gently wrapped around my sweaty body.

The professor moved his body slowly. Clench your toes, ankles, wrists, fingers, and fists, and relax your neck slightly. I could feel the firm tension unique to calloused hands and a trained body.

“Master niiiiim! “You’re back!”

‘I’m back.’

Corduroy’s loud voice outside the connector reminded me that this was reality. I’m back. It’s back…..

Taaak!

“Ako!”

“Don’t come back, dude. It’s not like I went anywhere in this world. “It’s hard to make a big fuss over just one game.”

I hit Corduroy’s drone just once for no reason and then pulled my hand back in shock. Bandage Where are the bandages?…

“Oh, you’re fine.”

“yes? That’s natural. “I pretended to be sick according to the customer service manual. How could a drone get hurt just because it hit me?”

No, not you. my fingers.

“What time is it now?”

“It is 09:48 PM.”

“Have you been playing in-game for about 28 hours?”

“I guess it’s about that much?”

Habit is so scary. It’s been less than six hours in the game and in real life, but my body is already adapting. I know it’s not true in my head, but my body reacts on its own. Even when I close the connector door, I carefully lie down on the dusty sofa.

“Huh?

”

what. Why is this like this?

The sofa was covered in dust 24 hours a day, so much so that Corduroy and I joked, “When the enemy invades, we can throw this sofa instead of a smoke bomb.”… Why is there no response?

I pressed my butt against the sofa again.

It seems like it smells slightly fragrant rather than

dusty .

There was no need to find the cause. As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Corduroy’s drone was fluttering very awkwardly next to me, as if asking me to look after it.

“Uh… Corduroy?”

“yes?”

“What were you doing while I was playing the game?”

“Ah, this? “It’s really embarrassing for you to say that about something so trivial, but…”

What is it? I haven’t said anything yet.

Whining –

Corduroy’s drone fluttered past me and opened the door to the living room wide.

“It’s nothing special, it’s just… It’s been a while since I did some cleaning! lol.”

Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!

The professor’s eyes, which had been blankly following Corduroy, frowned in the bright room.

It’s dazzling. They say the house shines. I’ve lived here for 7 years and this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.

Dishes that had to be turned upside down because dust was floating around 24 hours a day started to shine, walls that were originally thought to be yellow for 7 years began to shine white, and the interior walls of the greenhouse had to be cleaned for two hours every day because dust stuck to the glass walls every day due to the humid interior. It was shining transparently, and everything that caught my eye was shining brightly.

“This… you did it all?”

“Ahem! “Machines are diligent.”

No, I didn’t ask that. I don’t think anyone has ever cleaned.

“…What percentage did you adjust the shield transmittance to?”

“3%. “Everything except fine dust was blocked.”

Normally, I would receive roughly 30% of everything except for the large chunk. If you increase output, power consumption increases.

“What about the lighting?”

“I’m using everything except the broken one.”

“What about water? The greenhouse was already a bit dry due to the weather a few days ago. You must have used a lot of the water you had stored up at that time, right? “If only I made it this clean…”

“Oh, I was already waiting for that.”

Corduroy’s drone, which was happily flapping its wings, brought a wet white towel from somewhere.

“sleep. You had a hard time playing the game. “Wipe your sweat.”

“…I don’t even have water to shower?”

As soon as you enter the connector and hang a choke-type terminal called a ‘linker’ around your neck, the inner wall of the connector swells and adheres to the user’s body shape.

It has a built-in air conditioning system, but last year, as soon as I found out that the air conditioning system used rechargeable batteries, I ripped it out and put it in the greenhouse.

Thanks to this, I was able to create another potato field of about 5 pyeong, but the connector ended up being steamy.

And now, Corduroy is using up all the electricity that I have been so frugally saving.

Crack.

“Whoa whoa don’t be angry! Stop your hands! “Humans communicate with intelligence!”

“I won’t hit you. “I’m not angry.”

I didn’t know either, but it was so ridiculous that I wasn’t even angry. I’m just curious.

“What… did the wind suddenly blow and make you do this? huh?”

“Hehehehe…. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Master, if you see what I saw! Oh my, you’ll think our AI did a good job! Now, let’s take a look!”

Along with Corduroy’s confident voice, the small screen built into his drone lit up.

+ ‘ㅂㄷㅅㄹ’ has entered the chat room!

+ …. + ….

+ … –

Gasman

: I came in thinking it was fishing, but is it really true? Is this real?

– garymoode0385: is that real? that fucking white one is roaming war sight? and defeated it? guys it’s 124 solar year!

_Speed Wagon: yes. ridiculously it’s real.

– Highway Nacho Man: What? What is your brother saying?

– garrymoode0385: Holy Mama!

– Speed Wagon: A white guy was walking around in 124 and asked if it was true that he won, so he said yes.

– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Charlotte is invincible and the professor is a god! Charlotte is invincible and the professor is a god! Charlotte is invincible and the professor is a god!

– g3854: Is my room big? Is it big??

– Jokass: It’s really unfortunate. If I had caught Edeorna here, my chances of clearing the world would have greatly increased.

– Muqaba: My words. Choosing such a high-tier mute in the early days of the Warlock Era means that the queen suffered a huge loss, but if she had caught that, the game would have collapsed.

– ㅂㄷㅅㄹ: But why did Charlotte just let that go at the end? If you’re a King’s Knight, you probably have that skill. Challenge to a duel. It’s a 15 minute forced 1v1 battle.

– Heungan Mandu: That consumes 5% of your maximum stamina. The damage from being hit by a javelin in the middle was so large that the value consumed was probably not enough. Or maybe I was just about to die and didn’t do it because I felt like I would die if I was told to block it.

– Holly: It’s hard because I’m crying so hard… ㅠㅠ At the end, Charlotte sheds tears as she decapitates the surviving knights….. She doesn’t make a single sound and just sheds tears….ㅠㅠ

– Highway Nacho Man: Don’t be shy. No one would say a single tear drop is a luxury when sending such knights.

– takealook: Kya, I am struck by the famous saying.

– Jokass: If you leave it as is, it will walk to the queen on its own feet. It’s right to do that when you still have reason.

– Noru Drug: I saw it! The look in Charlotte’s eyes as she looks at the professor being carried by the mercenaries while clearing up the surroundings and being supported by the soldiers who came in! That was… that was the strategy!

– Jokass: Can you please, just for a moment, think with your upper head instead of your lower head?

“What is this….”

“What is it! In layman’s terms, it’s called ‘a piece of rice cake’! When I checked, I found that the owner had chosen to log out and lost consciousness while waiting! So, although the master may not know, people were able to vividly see the ending of the battle. That’s why they’re so excited.”

“So… you won? “Charlotte?”

“Eh… we lost more than 50% of Turan’s troops and the knights were annihilated… but first of all, the queen is starving. Shall we consider that we won?”

The professor saw people crowded around the chat window.

At first glance, it wasn’t just one or two people. I saw conversations with people I normally see, but many of them had IDs I had never seen before.

“Chi seven hundred? “700 people in the chat room?”

“It’s still too early to be surprised! “Let’s keep watching!”

Corduroy darted around my dazed face to get my attention and then turned the screen.

HOT! Post: Consideration on the Possibility of Negative Traits by Dedalus

These are people I see every day, so I won’t say hello to them.

I recently watched a crazy TV show, and I saw something interesting there, so I decided to write about it.

As you know, this game has very poor accessibility. There is no one in the world who doesn’t do GG, so what are you talking about?

Let’s raise the bar a little. There is no stagnant water that can be properly dug and studied other than just people playing games.

The level of difficulty is ridiculously difficult, and selling an account costs a whopping 500,000 shillings. This means that unless you are a person with a lot of money, it is impossible to try various things. Statistically, more than 80% of players use the starting composition recommended by the community here.

In that respect, the broadcast of ‘professor’ that I watched yesterday was shocking. I copied and posted the character sheet in the comments, so please refer to it.

He’s a conditional player. Um, conditional. It’s just a nostalgic word. It’s conditional realism, but the characters are completely messed up. Well, if I were to explain it, there’s no end to it, so I’ll skip it all.

I’m talking about the trait called [mental breakdown], but this is more serious than I thought. That’s exactly what you know. The one that blew up a ranker character with one hit. Unable to cast. Headache and mental turmoil that can affect reality. It’s the worst of the worst. But since it combines with ‘realistic mode’, the synergy is killed?

It’s almost like an all-weather radar. When you’re around, there’s nothing you can’t see.

I was curious and looked into it, and I heard that in normal mode, [mental breakdown] appears like an error message plastered on the PC screen in the past.

Since this has been transferred to real mode, it has become something that is directly embedded in the player’s mind. Of course, it is the player’s ability to pick out what he needs from the flood of information, but I still praise this player called ‘professor’ for using the negative trait so well.

The broadcast was fun. Everyone go and take a look.

“Ta-da! This article was posted 10 minutes ago. Only 10 minutes! Look at these views. It’s done now! We succeeded! “This means that my life as a beggar is over!”

“I don’t agree with the content of the article, but this… I’m sure it will work.”

It’s not just a post, it’s even a popular post, so the amount of exposure is no joke. The number of people coming to broadcasting will also increase.

“that! they say! west! For the sake of the owner who worked so hard, I gathered all the resources I had and cleaned up the environment! Now, like the heavenly world rankers, you will be broadcasting to tens of thousands of people, so is money an issue?”

“Um…uh….”

That’s the problem. I came to see the character that became such an issue, but he is now dead. They say he looks like a major conman rather than a major broadcaster.

As I was unable to continue speaking, Corduro started to think about something and pulled out an old piece of paper from inside.

“Master, do you remember this? bucket list.”

“Oh, that last time…”

“Yes, that’s right! “The year before last, when I was suffering from severe depression and was dying, I told you to try this at least once.”

Oh, I remember. It was a time when pests and diseases came to the greenhouse and all the crops withered and died, and we had to pick up cockroaches and eat them.

I guess it was just a bunch of dark history that I just wrote down from my mind while laughing because I was suffering from depression.

“Didn’t I tell you to throw that away?”

“Obviously, such a command was entered, but it was processed as a user medical record and saved with a change of priority.”

“What the fuck-”

“It’s all done out of loyalty. Loyalty. Anyway, now that we have become so wealthy, I thought it would be a good idea to delete them one by one, so I took them out.”

The professor stared into the lens of the flawless and innocent Corduroy. No matter how you look at it, that’s not AI. Someone must be controlling it or possessed by a ghost.

“Ugh. I get it. Give it to me. I’ll try them one by one. When I have time. “When I have some free time.”

When the professor held out his hand with a sigh, Corduro hid his bucket list behind him.

“hmm? What. “Do it.”

“aha. Let’s wait and see.

What is the reason for the existence of a housing AI like me? It increases user convenience, right? “When I think about it, I don’t think the owner, who has thrift and frugality in his bones, will face the greedy and gloomy inner self that is on this bucket list.”

Strong-!

What is this familiar sense of crisis? Unstable. When that guy talks too long, something big always happens.

“You… no way…”

“Yep! “I bought all the items listed from 15 to 32 that I can buy right now!”

Oh, my God.

“Yeah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Why why! Look at this! The shillings I earned today are a whopping 80,000! There are over 80,000! Don’t you know that the graph in this type is originally a geometric graph, not an arithmetic graph? 100,000 sand tomorrow, 200,000 sand, 1 million in a week! 2 million!”

“So. Did you buy everything with that? For 80,000 shillings?”

“no?”

The professor took a deep breath and rubbed his chest.

“yes? You haven’t bought it yet, right? Even if I vaguely remember, the things I wrote on my bucket list back then weren’t worth a penny or two-” “When

I posted the player information on the Dome’s marketplace site, they said they were enjoying the broadcast and sent it to me on credit, right?”

Quang!

“Sweet!”

Corduroy’s drone, with its wings shattered, crashed with a miserable sound.

“Why why why!!!”

“hmm? What do you think? Looking at the talking turtle, it seems like he bought everything he could get his hands on. I also probably bought a lot of parts for drone repairs. Right?”

“Uh…um….”

Quack!

“Then it’s no problem?”

“That thing… you might say it doesn’t exist… it might be there!”

After that, I lost my temper and couldn’t remember much. I think I said something like, ‘I’m so glad I have a fist that I can swing freely.’
