The Only Opportunity (1)
The silence that seemed to continue endlessly suddenly turned into a loud murmur.
“What is it? Why Aegis?”
It was very rare for the user to actually assume that posture in high gear.
Even if they are threatened by a ranker, they will wash their code name and not sell their pride.
“Who is Yahweh2? Have you heard of it?”
“No, it’s my first time. The parts are also a mess. A bolt gun in Marronsa’s basic package…
You asked Shiro while people were mesmerized by the appearance, which looked like it would be picked up and sold for scrap metal.
“I thought he would come in person.”
I had guessed the identity of Aegis ever since I called Fermi the boss.
‘It’s a real-life gold ring.’
Aegis bowed his head again.
“sorry. Yahweh 2 said that it would be better to be quiet when it comes to solving your problems.”
Sirone understood.
“great. “Let’s leave now.”
Aegis turned around in a military manner and walked towards the exit on the north side of the plaza.
Shirone didn’t care about people’s gaze, but Destruction Demon 707 and the others were different.
‘Ugh, this is my first time getting this much attention. By the way, Yahweh 2, what on earth is this guy?’
From the beginning, I thought it wouldn’t be an ordinary user, but that was in high gear.
‘What is going on? What is the boss? I felt anxious that maybe I was caught up in a huge event that went beyond our virtual world.
‘It’s okay if it goes on like this, right?’
When Destruction Demon 707 turned his head, he felt the same emotion on his friends’ faces.
“Aww. Ah…
When I came to my senses from the sound of moaning, I found myself in an alley in a slum in the northern part of the city.
Drugged junkies were rolling on the floor like they were home and making strange noises.
Sirone asked.
“What about them?”
“These are people who are addicted to a drug program
. High Gear is basically a battle simulation, but the scope of application is large as it is in Undercoder. Another advantage is that it is difficult to chase because it is a floor coder. “The president also conducted clinical trials here.”
It was an angel’s tears.
“Kiyaaaa!”
The bald couple who fell against the wall stuck out their tongues and screamed at Sirone.
Electricity surged from seven mechanical eyeballs.
‘Here, the response to the drug can be converted into a numerical value. ‘It’s more effective than biological experiments.’
I was able to guess why Fermi chose high gear.
Soon, we saw a shabby motel with half the neon lights turned off, and Aegis went straight to room 307.
“I brought you the boss.”
When I opened the door and went in, I saw a creepy-looking man sitting on the bed.
“Fermi?”
User code name: Son of Yolga.
He shaved his red hair and got a tattoo that looked like a monster’s face with black dye.
His eyes were white, without pupils, and he was wearing a leather fur coat like something only a devil worshiper would wear.
“…What kind of villain leader are you?” In real life, Fermi played a clean-cut businessman, but his inner self was different.
“Jin is really Yolga’s son, right?”
Unlike Shirone, who was absurd, the Destruction Demon 707 and the others couldn’t believe what they saw.
‘kill. Genosa’s flawless eye ATX. It’s also matte.’
The appearance itself is threatening, but the fact that the pupils are not visible makes it excellent in close combat.
Fermi suggested a table.
“sit down. By the way… do you have company?”
Forgetting that it was a virtual world, Demon God of Destruction 707 did not know what to do.
“Oh hello. We… Sirone spoke briefly.
“They are my friends.”
Fermi nodded as if that was enough and offered them a seat as well.
“Okay, nice to meet you. “Sit down first.”
“Ah yes.”
Even though they were sitting far away from the bed, Destruction Demon 707 and the others were in a daze.
‘What on earth are we doing?’
Code names are washable. Therefore, meeting new users in large guilds was a matter of caution.
‘How can you not ask anything?’ Even though it could not be clearly defined, the weight of power seemed to lie with Yahweh 2.
Fermi got lucky.
“Okay then…
“Hey! you!”
Sirone pointed a finger.
“You wouldn’t have told me anything! The former wasteland, as well as Ten Man, is huge! “You did that on purpose, right?”
“Are the players getting angry with each other over something like that? “Honestly, it wasn’t a big deal, right?”
Looking back, it was like that.
“You have to do this to be able to call yourself Yahweh. Just listen. Because I wasn’t playing either. “You still haven’t changed your mind about defeating the Operator, have you?”
Demon God of Destruction 707 and the others looked at each other.
‘Were you really doing this?’
Of course, I heard that, but Yahweh 2 knew nothing about High Gear.
‘The head of Jinhwaryun is speaking now.’
The weight was completely different and I couldn’t even imagine how that was possible.
Sirone said.
“No matter what you think, you have no choice but to do it. “You have to beat the operator to get a job.”
“just wondering. Now that you understand the system to some extent, you also understand how difficult it is, right?”
“??????okay.”
Sirone couldn’t deny it.
“Then it will be easier to talk. That’s why I didn’t tell you. Your insight is much faster than my explanation. Have you ever heard of the Ascension Guild?”
“no.”
“It is the #1 ranked guild in the West Country with an Operator as the head. He has multiple rankers and is famous like me. In other words, I rarely do any external activities. “I hunt at the highest level of difficulty that ordinary users cannot access.”
Fermi pointed west.
“He has an eccentric personality and is assumed to be a woman. Maybe I won’t come to see you. If that’s the case, you’ll have to go to the hunting ground and I think you’ll be instantly killed by Creature, let alone an Ascendant guild member. This is not to say that you should hurt your pride…
“It doesn’t hurt.”
Sirone interrupted.
“Just tell me how. “How can we meet?”
“Solar War.”
Destruction Demon 707 and the others groaned.
“Ah,
it can be said to be the most core event of High Gear. “You have a general idea of the world view, right?”
“Dr. Martin stole the sun.”
“okay. To be exact, it’s your sun sign. “A place with the only low gear in the world.”
“Low gear?”
“It’s a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy. The electricity generated there flows to Midgear along the entire continent. “Mid Gear is a capsule-shaped device that recharges High Gear’s energy.”
Fermi pointed to Sirone.
“You may not feel it right now because your level is low, but energy management becomes difficult once you exceed level 100. You must charge it at a charging station equipped with Mid Gear or purchase an auxiliary device separately. lets think. “Everyone on High Gear is using it.” Sirone understood.
“And the country that won the solar war…
“Yes, they eat it all. In particular, the guild that occupies the Sun Palace can recharge High Gear for free until the next Sun Battle. Conversely, other countries must pay a fee to purchase energy. As you know, High Gear is the heart of users. “If we look at reality, it’s a fight that risks our lives.”
“I will definitely participate, Operator Do.”
“All guilds will participate. “This is the only way you can meet the Operator.”
“Hey…
Princess Death raised her hand.
“May I ask you some questions?”
“The princess’s attention is always welcome.”
She burst out laughing.
“I watched a lot of solar war broadcasts. My drinking strategy was very intense. Of course Operator will participate, but Yahweh 2 will not be able to meet. Honestly… if you aren’t at least a ranker, you can’t even enter the Sun Palace.”
“That’s our problem too.”
Fermi nodded.
“The odds of winning in the Battle of the Sun are tight between the East and West, but coincidentally, the West won in the last Battle of the Sun. In other words, we are on the other side of Siege is Mercury. In the end, to get inside the Sun Palace, you have to not only get through the crowds but also deal with rankers. In particular, you won’t be able to break through the first Ascension Guild.”
The strongest code name was added.
“We operate a command center for strategies between guild members as well as tactics between guild members. It is impossible to carry out personal missions in a fight where one mistake can take away the sun. “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“you can do it.”
Sirone did not give up.
“It’s your job to solve problems. You came up with a method, right? “What should I do?”
≪Table o ”
-1―r.
Fermi slumped his shoulders and sighed, then raised his head and exhaled.
“I give up the solar war.”
The expressions of Destruction Demon 707 and the others hardened.
“Honestly, it’s impossible to transport you while worrying about winning the war. So give up. I will use all the guilds in the country to transport you to the vicinity of the Sun Palace. After that…
Fermi took one look at Aegis.
“Geumhwaryun’s guild members are disrupting the first line of the Chongchul-dong Ascension guild. If it’s a fight that doesn’t matter if you don’t win, you can do it. “The key is to keep it as far away from you as possible.”
Demon God of Destruction 707 made an absurd expression.
“But that would be betraying Dongguk’s guild. “If you leave Taeyangjeon, your guild will fail, right?”
Fermi didn’t budge, and neither did Sirone.
“What are the odds?”
“100 percent. Or 0 percent. We continue to mark the Ascension 1st group with six rounds. Even if I lose everything, I will carry you into the Sun Palace. This is my responsibility. Next is up to you. “Capture the operator by any means necessary.”
Demon God of Destruction 707 gaped.
“Oh no…
the first thought that came to mind was this.
‘Why do we have to do that?’
I looked at Aegis, but she also had a murderous expression on her face.
Sirone asked.
“How much can I raise it? Even if the probability is low, it’s okay. “How much stronger do I need to be to make it at least not impossible?”
“Hmm. Did you notice anything strange when you came here? For example, the senses may be slightly different.”
“The mystery still remains. “It’s not the same as in reality, but the signal system is the same.”
“Keok, I see.”
As if he had already guessed it, Fermi calculated it right away.
“At least level 300. Of course, the higher the better, but it will be difficult to match the sun. “I’m sure you don’t like it taking more time.”
In reality, the day was critical.
“After level 300, the experience required to level up makes no sense. Therefore, 300 is the best, and the rest has no choice but to compete with parts.”
“But parts are also affected by level. “They say this bolt gun is too much for my power output.”
“The prototype is like that. There is no choice but to supplement energy efficiency with special legendary or artisan parts. Anyway, no matter what you do, your win rate will never be higher than 5%. “It’s a battle of how close you can get.” Fermi stood up.
“In the same way, there is a limit to what I can give you now. For now, leave it to your friends until you reach level 100. Post it within 2 days.”
Demon God of Destruction 707’s eyes widened.
“yes? “You want me to reach level 100 in 2 days?”
“Equip the highest quality parts and capture high-level creatures. “A strong creature isn’t always the answer, but you’re faster than me in this section anyway, right?” Of course it was.
“Ha, but if it’s like that, even if your level goes up just a little, you have to keep buying new parts. “What should I do with the existing parts?”
“throw away. Send a credit card approved by Geumhwaryun. Buy everything you need. “You can use the galaxy unlimitedly, so make Yahweh 2 level 100 in 2 days. You can do it, right?”
Demon God of Destruction 707, who was looking back at his friends with a blank expression, nodded.
“…yes.”
