Chapter 161 – 161. Dungeon Survival
161. Dungeon Survival
[Hacking succeeded.]
[You can hack a tablet for 30 minutes.]
I took a look at the tablet using the hack. I wonder if there are hidden things I don’t know about.
‘The tablet itself is mediocre. Nothing is hidden.’
I wasn’t disappointed because it was what I was expecting.
‘It’s actually a network that can be accessed with this tablet.’
[You can hack the Dungeon Survival Reforged network for 20 minutes.]
I grinned.
Even if it wasn’t through the tablet, information about the network was floating in front of my eyes. Information that is invisible to others.
‘The tablet has a location tracker. In other words, I can find out the location of the tablet in the dungeon through hacking.’
One tablet is given per team. There is a high probability that the leader has it, and since the team members will not be active separately in most cases, the location can be specified.
‘I can find information about Kang Seok-soo’s team and their location.’
Seoksu Kang’s team. The official team name is ‘Aqua Stone’, which is an easy-to-understand team name.
Seoksu Kang’s team is now on their way to the nearest food distribution site.
‘This… You can know in advance where the food will be delivered.’
During the Dungeon Survival, all food distribution locations in the dungeon are decided. Originally, information that was notified 30 minutes ago can be obtained at the desired time.
‘It’s not just that. I can know the location of the monsters in the dungeon, the location of hidden treasures, and even the events that will happen later.’
It’s an amazing amount of information.
‘You can see the situation in the studio.’
I could see it through the camera installed in the studio. In the studio, a couple of celebrities and professional hunters were talking while looking at the screen. Judging by the lack of tension, it seems that they have been filming for quite a long time.
‘I can also see the cameras installed in the dungeon.’
A smile was drawn on my lips. This is a much bigger advantage than I thought.
And I could see which team currently has the most survival points.
The first is Aqua Stone. This is Kang Seok-soo’s team.
A total of 521 survival points, 200 points more than second place. Looking at the records, it seems that Choi Sa-hyun actively used the ability of ‘sensation’ to find and hunt monsters in the dungeon.
‘I can’t be found out about the fact that I can hack. This information should be used as naturally as possible.’
It should not be used aggressively. If you do, you will doubt me.
‘Okay, let’s act.’
I woke Harin Han, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
“Senior. Kang Seok-soo’s team has left. Wake up. We need to move too.”
“…….”
Han Harin quietly opened her eyes and raised her upper body. His slightly dazed face showed a hint of weariness that could not be hidden. She didn’t sleep and she only had sex all night so it was only natural if she was supposed to.
“… Did you find any way?”
“There is only one way we can win. Everyone else has no choice but to drop out.”
“Do you think that is possible?”
It’s a difficult thing when you think about it.
This dungeon is very large and has traps and monsters. It’s hard to catch if you make up your mind and run away. However, through hacking, I can see the situation in this dungeon as clearly as the palm of my hand. Even if it’s hidden, it’s not a job to find it.
“It’s only been the first day. There are plenty of opportunities.”
We left the break area before 6 am.
The current survival point of the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team is -962.
It’s an overwhelming bottom line.
•••
“Today is the second day of Dungeon Survival Reforged. On the first day, 2 teams and 1 were eliminated, leaving 143 survivors. I think there are fewer dropouts than I thought. What do you think, Hong Soo-Won?”
MC Seok-hoo Jo asked Hong Soo-won. Hong Soo-won is a bit biased commentator, but his experience as a hunter and analytical skills are genuine.
“It’s a natural thing. Dungeon Survival is just getting started. Since it was the first day, the Hunters must have acted cautiously. Dungeon Survival will become more competitive over time. By day 3 or 4, dropouts are likely to occur in droves.”
The purpose of dungeon survival is to see the battle between hunters in the end. Monster hunting? Even if you search the Internet right now, what comes to mind is a monster hunting video.
What viewers are looking forward to is a realistic battle between hunters.
“A little funny thing happened yesterday after we changed shifts. It was at the rest area that the Aqua Stone team and the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team met. I don’t know what kind of conversation went on inside, but
The Aqua Stone team camped outside the resting area and waited for the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team to come out of the resting area.”
It was not surprising. This was also what the producers intended.
“It is a strategy that must be followed. The Aqua Stone team is 3 people and the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team is 2 people. Outnumbered, you can be assured of victory. In addition, Hunter Kang Seok-soo even laid magic traps around him. If you fight, you can be sure of victory. And even if they don’t fight, the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team will inevitably receive a penalty. In fact, the Kookcheon Grand Hunter team chose to take a penalty instead of fighting. Result. The Kukcheon Grand Hunter team has become virtually eliminated. -962 Survival Points, so you can say it’s over.”
There was a person who refuted Hong Soo-won’s words. It is Baek Ji-eun.
“I do not know. Although the survival point has become negative, the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team is not an easy team. One person was eliminated, but both of them are powerful natural talents such as lightning and gravity, and can even use mana. It’s too much power to say it’s over.”
“Her…. What can two people do, not three?”
“There are many things we can do. We have to wait and see what the Kukcheon Grand Hunter team will do in the future.”
Jo Seok-hoo changed the topic before their fight of spirits got worse.
“It’s 11:00 AM soon. From the second day, there is an event prepared by our side. Today, the event will happen at 12:00 AM, an hour later.”
•••
11:30 am.
A notification popped up on the tablet.
〉30 minutes later. A treasure skeleton will appear at 12 AM.
〉 There are a total of 10 treasure skeletons and they wander around the dungeon for 1 hour. Hunt down the running treasure skeletons!
〉You can get survival points, food, and information by catching the treasure skeleton.
〉The location of the treasure skeleton is displayed on the map in real time.
This is an event organized by the organizers.
Treasure Skeleton. The name sounds grandiose, but it’s actually a beggar skeleton. The survival points you can get are 100, and food is enough for one meal for one team. Information is a hint about things hidden throughout the dungeon.
‘100 survival points are meaningless to us. I have hacking, so I don’t need any information, and at least the food is useful.’
I was a little hungry. The mushrooms found in the forest are tasteless and small in quantity, so they are not satisfied.
“… This is intended to make Hunters fight each other.”
Han Harin noticed the organizer’s intentions at once after seeing the treasure skeleton event.
“The beauty of dungeon survival is that it is a real battle between hunters.”
“Skeletons are F-rank monsters. If you find it first, you will be able to catch it easily.”
“No. It’s not an ordinary skeleton, it’s going to be tough.”
I know information about this treasure skeleton.
A treasure skeleton is a skeleton summoned by a B-class necromancer hunter. It is strong enough to be incomparable to normal skeletons. Think of it as something more than a D-class monster.
Han Ha-rin stared at me and he asked.
“You intend to use the treasure skeleton as bait, right?”
“Yes. How did you know?”
“You said it in the morning. I will eliminate all competitors.”
“Because that’s more likely than collecting survival points.”
“You know there is a loophole in this operation, right?”
Loophole.
That is to say, you never know who will come after the treasure skeleton. A strong team like Kang Seok-soo, or more than 10 hunters can target the skeleton.
This operation is a strategy that Kang Seok-soo’s team, who has overwhelming confidence in their skills, can use. We are also a strong team, but there are only two of us.
“It’s okay. Senior.”
I know who the hunters are nearby by hacking. Kang Seok-soo Hunter’s team is quite far away. None of the nearby Hunters can stop us.
Of course, I couldn’t tell her this.
“I’m on the lucky side.”
〉 12 AM!
〉 The Treasure Skeleton event begins!
〉 10 Treasure Skeletons roaming the dungeon! Catch it faster than anyone else and get the treasure!
I looked at the tablet.
A total of 10 red dots appeared on the map and were moving. It must be referring to the treasure skeleton.
For reference, the blue dot indicates where we are.
“Senior. There is a treasure skeleton right nearby. After all, I am lucky.”
“Then we can carry out the operation as scheduled, right?”
“Yes. Senior.”
I looked around. There was an association employee filming us from some distance away.
‘There were five members of the association who filmed Kang Seok-soo’s team. Are we only one?’
It was a part where we could see that the organizers had almost confirmed our elimination.
‘In survival, the last one alive wins.’
We moved in the direction of the treasure skeleton.
Soon after, I found a treasure skeleton.
The skeleton, which moved sloppily, was carrying a bundle on its shoulder. It contains information and food.
“…….”
“…….”
Harin Han and I exchanged opinions with glances and started to follow the skeleton with bated breath.
Three Hunters appeared. Two were holding swords and shields, and one was wearing gauntlets.
“Found! It’s the first thing we found. Is this lucky?”
“Catch the time to say that. I will die of hunger.”
“I don’t have time to mess around. Other hunters will come soon. You know we’re hopeless if we fight head-on, right? Survive as long as possible and seize the opportunity.”
The three hunters stopped chatting at some point and approached the skeleton in a state of killing as much as possible.
Skeleton has not yet realized the existence of the Hunters. It was a bit stupid since it was not a real monster, but a skeleton controlled by the Hunter.
I raised my hand while estimating the timing. Han Harin saw my autograph and nodded.
“Keugh?!”
“What, what is this!”
“My body suddenly… !”
Han Harin’s gravitational field weighs down their bodies. Their bodies became heavy and they could not move easily.
Skeleton looked back and saw the Hunters, startled and ran away.
‘Skeletons can’t run far anyway. Now is the time to focus on these guys.’
Hiding in a tree, I jumped toward them, knife in hand. First, he swung a sword containing thunderbolt at the hunter wearing the gauntlet.
Pajijijik!
“Big! Enemy! Help me!”
The blade could not penetrate the Hunter’s body. It’s because the energy protect protects his body. Electric shock by lightning strike does not occur.
‘Still, it’s certain that he’ll be damaged by the thunderbolt.’
I got even more thunderous. A blue thunderbolt ran through his body.
“You bastard!”
“What do you see us as!”
Two of Hunter’s companions swing their swords at me. However, it is delayed due to the influence of the gravitational field.
‘I am also within the range of the gravitational field, but I can use mana.’
When he used mana, his body became lighter.
Yeongcheon-ryu high class Han-leo (cold cloud).
As I swing my sword, lightning shoots out in all directions.
Originally, Hallo is a technology that emits both sword and lightning at the same time. I can’t emit sword energy yet, so only the lightning extends.
“Kuaaa! Fuck! It’s a skill opener!”
“Wow, it’s thrilling… !”
The three Hunters soon fell to the floor. The energy shields on their shoulders changed from blue to red.
I thought as I watched them disappear along with the association staff.
‘I think they’re weird guys.’
Even though I was eliminated, I am splitting up. It didn’t seem like they were the ones who took part in dungeon survival seriously from the start.
‘What…. There are guys like that.’
