Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha Chapter 158

# 158

158. Taoni retainers (3)

The structure of the waiting room has changed a lot more than I thought.

The number of floors was not simply increased from the 3rd to the 4th floor. A school covering the entire training facility was created, and all facilities from warehouses to equipment workshops were upgraded step by step.

The foundation for systematic operation has been completed.

There was also a change in the luxury accommodation on the 4th floor.

That is, one mansion was allocated to each party.

The mansion had private rooms, as well as a large dining room, a resting room, a bathroom, and a dedicated training room. There was no need to go anywhere else.

‘If only one more thing had been added.’

I got an office.

Wooden desk and chair. Drawers for stacking documents.

There is a pile of papers on the desk. On the paper, all matters of the waiting room investigated by the reserve manager were recorded.

“What, what. You guys!”

In front of the desk, a man is making a stern expression.

The man was on his knees, and Belquist stood behind him with a sad expression.

“Is that him?”

“exactly.”

Belquist replied.

“Mark Callerin, right?”

“You bastard, it seems that you are a bit strong, but even mice and birds… 100,000!”

puck!

Belquist, who slapped Mark on the cheek, continued.

“Answer the question.”

“Like a dog… I thought I’d be safe even after doing this… Wow!”

Belquist began beating the man mercilessly.

ruthless hands. Blood and broken teeth splattered on the office floor.

‘Hmm.’

I watched the man with my hands on the table.

The hero named Mark in front of me belongs to the 1st floor. I was summoned here as a 2-star hero two months ago in the waiting room. But what happened after that was a bit different.

Like other heroes, he did not become stronger through repeated training, but chose to remain on the first floor.

“Oh, stop…”

Mark murmured, whose face turned bluish.

Belquist smirked and kicked the guy in the face.

“Oops!”

“It’s not far behind.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

“Isn’t that fine too? It’s trash anyway.”

‘It’s true that it’s trash.’

This guy organized a special group on the 1st floor, taking advantage of the gap that the master couldn’t reach.

what was your name I don’t remember very well. The only thing that is clear is…

“You stole and hid the items in the waiting room. Is that right?”

I opened my mouth.

“No…”

“Don’t answer no. I know everything. I’ve only pretended not to know it. It’s good if I steal things. From assault to threats to extortion. Crimes are all crimes.”

I checked the testimony.

The statement of a female hero belonging to the 1st floor was written.

Mark silently lowered his head, then

began to sob,

“Damn it, damn it…” .

“What am I supposed to do! To be dragged into a place like this, to fight and search! If you don’t like that, you don’t want to bring me in from the beginning. I know you want to! What do you think if you eat three meals a day of potatoes…” Puck

!

Belquist slapped Mark in the face.

The fallen man could not get up.

“Trash speaks. How are you going to deal with it? Is it also synthetic?”

“I know there are a few more.”

“I’ve got them all. It won’t be much different from this guy.”

“Good job. Good job entrusting it.”

“You’re good at it. Don’t make me do it again. I’m going to die of trouble.”

Belquist spat.

What I ordered this guy to do was to wipe out the gang on the first floor.

More like a thug than a gang. When the Master is not connected, he secretly works, extorting items from other heroes and commits various crimes.

‘I left it alone because I was busy on the other side.’

Things are different now.

Until now, it was a form of summoning a hero and leaving it in the waiting room, but now education and management begin from the point of summoning. The purpose is to foster effective and motivate people. compulsory education is provided.

‘A law will be made.’

nothing complicated

If you kill, you die.

Even if you steal the Master’s, you will die.

If you do something that damages the waiting room, you die.

Now, Taoni has changed from a simple gathering of heroes to a group with rules and discipline.

At the apex of that was the submaster.

“Senior, are you going to continue doing such a troublesome task?”

Belquist said while wiping his bloody hands.

“I can’t seem to concentrate on training.”

“That’s right. I’m busy.”

Busy beyond imagination.

Skill training isn’t over yet.

At this pace, he would be caught in the office and unable to move.

“No damage?”

“It would be nice if I had someone to entrust to me…”

The strongest and most favored hero in the waiting room is the sub-master, but basically he uses a deputy to do the work. Because time was too tight to combine training and work.

“Me too. I couldn’t even put my hands on the sword today.”

“If I find someone to do it, I’ll take it out right away. It won’t take long.”

First, we set an example.

From now on, you can’t do that. We are definitely an attacking team.

We had to find management positions to run the waiting room.

That role is now occupied by Nerissa.

“I’ll leave it to you anyway. I’d like it to be sorted out within three days.”

Belquist left the office dragging Mark.

Left alone, I sighed deeply and opened the papers.

‘The daily yield of iron ore…’

He took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the letters with a blue ink pen.

I was in the process of making a report to the Master.

And that evening

[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]

[Loading has finished.]

[TOUCH ! (optional)]

The sky beyond the window brightened.

Amkena connected.

‘…The Book of Reversal.’

indeed.

Master is the sky.

I sat down in a chair and crossed my legs.

‘If I catch and eat that guy, I’ll be able to become a master of Taoni.’

The climbing speed will increase several times.

The detailed method… will not come out if you look around.

‘dog sound.’

I laughed bitterly.

[There is an unconfirmed report from the master.]

[Reporter – Submaster: ‘Han (★★★)’]

[Do you want to check?]

[Yes (selection) / No]

A document appeared on the control window of the master.

The document shows what I wrote with an ink pen.

There are a total of 23 reporting documents.

Quite long. From the basics of the waiting room to guiding changes in the training system to hunting down criminals and suggesting how to operate in the future.

[Tips/Heroes with special roles can ‘report’ and ‘suggest’ to the master. To expand the role, a higher level of ‘Hero Responsiveness’ research is required.]

[Submaster ‘Han (★★★)’ proposes a public execution of ‘Mark (★★)’.]

[Submaster ‘ ‘Han(★★★)’ proposes the creation of a new hero class ‘management class’.]

[Submaster ‘Han(★★★)’…]

Amkena recklessly touches ‘Yes’ from the middle Began to do.

I don’t know if he believes me or if he’s getting tired of reading.

but.

“I got ten of them.”

I arranged the statues Amkena gave me in the display case.

Two slots were filled with warhorse statues.

976 to 1,000.

I think I need to make fifty five-story display cases.

‘…I was such a cheap guy.’

It doesn’t matter.

stop if it’s fun

I blew a whistle and left the office.

Amkena was carrying out various tasks according to my report.

It must be quite a headache. Following my suggestion, the menu became many times more complex as the scope of operation expanded. Before that, I only had to pay attention to a few simple things.

Can not help it.

If you do it normally, you will be just like everyone else.

To go higher, you have to work harder.

‘But…’

There is a possibility.

In this state, there are not one or two masters who throw everything away, saying that it is complicated and annoying.

But I’m not giving up and I’m persevering. It was like that from the time I blew the first 4 stars I picked. Mental and perseverance were worth acknowledging.

‘If it weren’t for that, I would have given up immediately.’

or i died

It was a gamble, but it worked.

It was also fortunate that I was summoned by this guy. It seems clumsy, but I’m doing everything I have to do. If Amkena had been hated by the heroes, she wouldn’t have come this far.

I decided to do the work of the other side while the master took care of the business.

I prepared lightly and left the mansion.

On the other side of the square is another mansion. It was an exclusive accommodation for 2 parties.

When I opened the door and entered, Edith came out in casual clothes.

“I’m here?”

“Where are the newcomers?”

“I’m waiting in the drawing room. They said they wanted to see you too.”

“Good.”

I followed Edith into the drawing room on the second floor.

Two people were sitting at a table in a neatly decorated inner room.

He was a new member of the 2nd party to fill the positions of the retired Roderick and the deceased Lilini.

‘Let’s see, the name…’

I looked at the two summon logs that I had opened in advance.

It was the history of Amkena’s paid lottery when I wasn’t there.

[Tack bang!]

[Two bang!]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Rain (★★★)’!] [Two

bang! ]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ You have learned the hero ‘Main (★★★)’!]

Draw 2 consecutive draws.

But luck worked here too.

[Double ring!]

[I can feel a strong connection between the two summoned people.]

[A bond ‘double harmony of wind and cold’ has been created!]

You can tell just by looking at the ‘bond name’.

I looked inside the table.

“Your brother is Han!”

The two voices overlapped as if they were aligned.

A high tone like a bird chirping.

“I’m Lane.”

“I’m Maine!”

I got up and two people bowed to me.

Both of them were girls in their early 20s or so.

Her slightly wavy hair reached her waist.

“Don’t be polite. You can just sit down.”

Two people sat on the sofa.

I sat down on the other sofa and opened my mouth.

“you guys.”

“yes.”

“Wizard.”

“sure!”

The answer came right away.

‘Twins.’

Except for the hair color, they looked almost identical.

said Edith, who was sitting next to me and pouring tea.

“Rain is a wind-based elementalist, and Main is a cold-type elementalist.”

“That’s right, sister. We were pretty famous in the North.”

Maine, the blue-haired girl, grinned.

“Exhibition battles have been tough. Both are excellent. It will be of great help in future fights.”

“I’m sure.”

Because it’s a wizard.

Each elemental type has its own advantages.

Fire magic has the strongest single firepower, but it can damage allies and consumes mana. ‘Wind and cold come at once…’

That

‘s also due to fate. It’s a

very rare occurrence.

It’s not even an attribute that forms a contradiction like fire and cold.

‘It caught properly.’ So far

, Amkena has done several paid lottery draws, but this is the first time I’ve been lucky enough to

win

.

whispered to me,

“Would it be all right to put the two wizards in the 2nd party? If you do this, your power will be concentrated.”

“That’s right.”

“It was like that last time. It’s better to distribute power properly.”

I nodded. I

had said that. Equal distribution of power. I still think that. It was just a

normal story.

It’s not normal.’

After going through several boss stages, I learned.

First of all, the difficulty level is damn right. Besides, the basic specs required of the main attack team are enormous. It is

basic to work with dozens of people. In this situation…

‘I can’t help but divide my forces.’

I have no choice but to use a different method.

It was my suggestion to put two people in the 2nd party. Amkena accepted it.

“I will change the strategy. It can’t be like this.”

“How?”

“I make throwaway cards.”

Edith blinked.

I drank

some water and opened my mouth.

“what? That’s…”

“I think it’s going to be used up.”

“Hey, wait! What if the roles are divided like on the 20th floor?”

“We cover that. It’s not like there’s a magician for nothing.”

Edith didn’t seem to understand.

I finished drinking the water.

If it’s hard to share power, I have no choice but to gather more.

Overwhelmingly. So that it doesn’t collapse under any circumstances.

The other party is ‘earning time’ It’s just that.

I finished drinking the water.

‘Kishasha.’

I needed him first.
