Chapter.4 Eyelids (2)
***
The next day.
Cleanse your body with collected rainwater.
With a meditative mind, I chew and swallow the tasteless calorie bar and
approach the connector with a calm mind.
“…How many minutes are left?”
“18 minutes and 47 seconds left.”
“…I guess it would be perfect if I just looked around the chat room and entered it.”
This moment has finally arrived.
I don’t know how on earth he survived, but the moment has come when ‘Professor Manga’, infused with my blood and sweat, comes to his senses again.
======
+ Player ‘professor’ has entered the Area 47 chat room.
– Jokass: !!!!!
– Noru Drug: !!!!!
– Highway Nacho Man: !!!!
– Hair is a sin: Why and what is it?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Gyo Gyo! Professor! Our professor is back!!!
– Holly: Wow! long time no see!
– professor: dd It’s been a while. How was everyone?
“The atmosphere here never changes.”
I even feel familiar with it now, so it seems like I’ve adapted to this world.
– Jokass: Still, it came well.
– Professor: Why
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: We were discussing how to proceed with the funeral if you died.
– professor: Ugh. At the level of a joke.
– Holly: Um… It’s true.
“What the fuck?”
No, these guys are going crazy by treating people like dead as they please? There’s no way that good-natured high school girl Holly would lie…
‘No. If I played with those evil guys for 3 nights and 4 days, could I have gotten dirty?’
Umm….it was my mistake. I’ve let these crazy colts off the reins for several days. I feel a sense of responsibility as the control tower of chat room 47.
– Professor: Well, say hello slowly while playing the game. Was there any special news while I was gone?
– Speed Wagon: There were a lot of them.
– professor: Oh, nice to meet you. It’s been a while. I haven’t been able to log in for a few days because I went farming.
– Speed Wagon: Hahaha
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Why is your conversation style different from ours?
– Jokass: Look in the mirror.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: What is that?
“But everyone was having fun without me.”
Looking at the chat window population, it seemed like most of the people who came in due to the issue at that time had left while there was no broadcast. What should I endure? I took a break from broadcasting for 4 days.
– professor: So what’s the special news?
– Speed Wagon:
1. Interested in the professor’s character in the dome. He came to the chat room and copied all the play logs and conversations.
2. After a long time, District 47 chat room mascot ‘Holly’ finally succeeded in swearing at Soy Sauce Gay Bar. The intensity was 8 out of 10. Even by the strict standards of experts, it was a very creative and excellent swear word.
3. Rabbit Princess visits the District 47 chat room. They came with a huge fandom and left saying that they were enjoying the broadcast and that new routes were always welcome. It took some time to weed out the evil rabbits.
4. It is said that a large, intact old-time underground shelter was discovered in area 45. It seems like they went to all the groups that were making a name for themselves in the wasteland, but the people who actually brought the goods were the wrong people.
“omg.”
Number 13 is because my play was so unique. As for number 2…..it just happened in the end.
Number 4. It’s a rumor that it’s the fastest thing in the wasteland, but I never thought it would have spread this far already.
I was a little nervous hearing my story from an unexpected place. How well was it known?
– professor: What is number 4? I’ve never heard of such a big event.
– Jokass: You probably didn’t hear it because you were out. The entire community wasn’t in an uproar yesterday.
– Mukaba: A trio of emerging powerhouses who cleared out the mutants that filled the underground building, dealt with both the Raptor Corps and the Dome’s elite, and leisurely took the treasure with them! The name… what did it say?
– Speed Wagon: Hepburn V I. Considering the last two, there is a high possibility that the first one is also a pseudonym. First of all, all three had large bounties on them.
– professor: How much?
– Speed Wagon: Whether the Raptor is alive or dead – VI is 1.5 million each. Hepburn, the leader, has 3 million. In the dome, you must capture them alive for the same price.
“Huh huh…..”
– Jokass: Don’t be fooled by money and think strange things, professor. They’re not ordinary people like us. Just considering the achievements listed above, they are no different from Terminators. If you attack me, you won’t even be able to break my bones.
That’s me.
I was confused for a moment, but when I thought about it, there was nothing to worry about. It was surprising that my pseudonym was revealed, but other than that, nothing else is known. No matter how much you fly and crawl as a bounty hunter, you cannot find someone in this vast wasteland using only an alias.
‘But it’s a bit strange that it’s known in such detail. Raptor entered with great fanfare, but no one knows about the dome except our group and the Raptors… Aha.’
Reptile bastards are embarrassed.
The Raptor Army went in with a flashy bombardment and came out looking like crap.
In order to protect the group’s strong image, Raptor, who looked like a defeated soldier, revealed the Dome’s soldiers who had suffered the same damage and announced the existence of a third force that had subdued them.
‘He probably had someone secretly leak information to the community. It’s not that we’re incompetent, there was a guy who was great enough to beat Dom and Raptor! Something like this.’
Thanks to this, it seemed like the rumor was needlessly inflated, but whatever. It’s okay if you don’t get caught, if you don’t get caught.
Beep beep! Beep beep!
It seemed like time was running out as the alarm built into the connector went off.
– professor: The broadcast is starting soon.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Oh! Cool!
– Namba Three: Woohyo~ I waited! Professor Glass Body!
– Speed Wagon: No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t figure out how I lived. Please hurry.
“Yeah, I was curious too. Now, shall we begin?”
[welcome. Professor Park. For the world beyond this world. Would you like to access Gedreutz’s game?]
The professor exhaled loudly as he heard the familiar system voice.
“Connect.”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
As the blinding light approached, the professor unconsciously clenched his fists.
Now it’s time to return to being a professor full of pain and stress.
***
Beep! Beep-! Beep-! Beep-!
The first thing you notice as soon as you enter is the system warning sound and red lights going off like crazy. Other than that, I couldn’t see anything.
‘Synchronization has clearly completed, but my body cannot move and all five senses are paralyzed. All I can see and hear now are system notifications.’
Even now, countless red dots and intermittent blue dots were blinking under the small, minimized system window.
‘……Let’s hear the good news first.’
The professor was the type of person who ate delicious food first.
Tiring-!
[Information update – Acquiring honor [Commander who never quits]: You led your troops in a hopeless situation and overcame the defensive situation on the battlefield. Many people have seen it and praise your judgment and courage! / Charisma +2 heroic points +10]
‘Good. Stats and hero points. First of all, I got a medium-sized gourd.’
Simply put, Heroic Points are an indicator of how much the world of GG recognizes the player.
I heard that GG’s system does not operate according to one large rule, but is a multi-complex…uh…whatever program, in which all living things and the environment operate in parallel with individual programs.
To put it simply, NPC A does not follow other programs, but is a being filled with programs just for A in a computer called A.
So, all environments and rules in this world move in the direction recognized by NPCs. Most NPCs say, ‘The sun rises in the east.’ Because we recognize this, the sun rises in the east again today and ‘the sea tastes salty.’ Because we know that there is salt in the sea. This means that if you can change the perception of NPCs, you can change the world.
The Heroic Point represents just that. An indicator of how heroic NPCs think the player is based on the player’s actions.
Heroic Points are the power of [Main Character Correction], commonly seen in movies and novels, that accumulate when you perform a heroic act or when a rumor spreads, and when accumulated a lot, allow you to exert power beyond your stats.
The more people believe that he is a hero, the more likely it is that he will not die easily in reality, relying on the belief that heroes do not die.
‘You can’t do anything with 10 points, but this is something you have to accumulate steadily until the end of the play.’
First, strike. Very good.
Tiring-!
[Information update: A friendly relationship has been established with the hero unit Charlotte de Agat. / ‘Just stay alive. I had to cut down everyone on the battlefield with me with my own hands. I heard your story from them. Please hold on, just until we reach the temple!’ / Current relationship: Comrades who shared their lives]
‘Yessss!’
Charlotte des Agates. Roderick is the first knight and is known as the Sun of the Battlefield, and is one of the most preferred companions to accompany you to the clear.
Although it is difficult to create a friendly relationship to the extent that she is called an ironclad woman, the only thing that can irritate this young lady who is a knight to her core is camaraderie.
[Comrades who shared their lives] is a fairly close relationship that, if done properly, can even lead to recruiting colleagues.
‘This is so great too. next…..? ‘Isn’t there a next time?’
does not exist. No more blue messages.
‘What? The reward for participating in the war is: Command rewards! Mercenary promotion review notification! ‘Where has everything gone!’
I received everything that was unusual, but none of the basic rewards I was supposed to receive appeared.
When I saw the red-flashing messages at the bottom of the system window, I started to feel anxious.
‘…Let’s check everything that needs to be checked at once anyway.’
The professor took a deep breath, scratched out all the red flashing messages, and brought them back.
– Information update:
[Warning – ‘Mutation Blood’ infection rate 94% (delayed due to trauma)]
[Warning – Right wrist, left wrist, right ankle, left ankle, right knee, left knee, waist and neck restraints]
[Warning – Blood loss 30% (Enhanced by Mutation Blood)]
[Injury – Right foot amputated (Regenerating 32% by Mutation Blood regeneration enhancement)]
[Injury – Spinal damage (Nerve paralyzed. Regenerating 45% by Mutation Blood regeneration enhancement) %)]
[Injury – Right and left eye damaged (left 99% while regenerating due to Mutation Blood regeneration enhancement, right 42%)]
[Injury – Liver 45% loss (regenerating 88% due to Mutation Blood regeneration enhancement)]
[ New Talent! Dull nerve acquisition: Your body has been exposed to too much pain and irritation. Your entire body’s nerve thresholds have increased to ridiculous levels and you can now ignore small amounts of pain. / Skill: Pain Reduction (Medicine) Perception -1]
[Forced Job Change – Wizard’s Experiment Subject: For some reason, you were captured by an evil wizard. Be careful! He will not regard you as a living creature!]
[Acquire Mutation Traits – Extreme Regenerative Power (Glass Body + Mutation Blood Regeneration Enhancement + Mutation Blood Epidermal Enhancement): Your body, which is easily injured but easily recovers, has Mu. The characteristics of Tation Blood have infiltrated. Your body recovers incredibly quickly but still becomes brittle. / Durability fixed at 120 / Natural recovery increased by 5000% / Regeneration using blood in times of crisis
Blood’s cells have infiltrated. My mother’s call comes from deep beyond my consciousness. You cannot refuse.]
[Trait conflict! Mother’s Call VS Mental Breakdown: ‘Come here, child. Offer your body.’ ‘What? What is the unknown feeling that comes from deep in your heart? Suspicious! Dangerous!’ / The doubt planted deep in your soul even doubts the temptation of the mute cells that take over every nerve. The effect of the trait ‘Mother’s Call’ is reduced by half.]
.
.
.
.
Oh my gosh.
What on earth is this?
Now, let’s summarize. I got hurt a lot. It’s cut somewhere, broken somewhere, burst somewhere, tied up. There was chaos. It might be related to the forced change to the job [Mage’s Experiment Subject].
‘145 hours in real time. 725 hours of game time. About a month. ‘During that month, my body maintained an infection rate of 93%.’
I don’t know what method was used, but the infection stopped after it had penetrated my brain a bit. The result is mutation characteristics. The body is already under the control of mute cells.
‘The spinal damage restraint is probably intended to prevent the mute cells from moving arbitrarily. Even if they don’t have a brain, they still have the will to move to some extent.’
conclusion. I became a wizard’s experiment. The subject of the experiment is probably about humans infected with mutes. Shit.
Sreuk touduk tok!
“Ahhhh…”
After the playback was over, my vision finally returned with a strange sensation of my right eye filling up.
‘information! Anything is fine, so we can infer the current situation…’
The professor, who immediately looked around, couldn’t help but be astonished at the stunning scene.
“Crazy… you guys…”
The room was filled with blood stains so thick that they turned from red to black. Except for tools such as rusty rope saws and daggers, and numerous blood-soaked parchments, most of the space was occupied by only one object. was filling. It was the professor’s own body. Even at this moment, parts of his body that were being regenerated filled all the walls, cupboards and desks.
