This Is Not a Game Chapter 40

Rock with eggs?

A total of two items are needed to save Aris.

one is a cure

At the end of the quest, Aris’ arms were terribly injured to the extent that the metaphor of being a rag is not enough.

I don’t know how much time will pass, but I guess from the word linkage, there’s a possibility that it will continue right from the moment you finish the quest. Since the situation could be shut up, a cure to treat both arms was essential.

‘I’ve been looking for some cures, but…’

The lowest-grade potion from the fantasy world, the magic medicine from the martial arts world, and everything that could be obtained were obtained, but considering the wounds that were so serious that the bones were exposed and the effects of the treatments, I couldn’t be relieved at this level.

A treatment with a stronger effect was needed.

And the second provision was, in a sense, far more important than the first.

“equipment.”

There are two types of powers that can be obtained through quests.

The first is the power that comes from skills.

It is reliable because it is powered by one’s own body and mind, but due to the user’s characteristic that they have to move in a different body each time they perform a quest, the power is unstable unless they are in the original body, and in the worst case, it is not used at all due to the absence of stats such as magical power. There was a fatal flaw that it might be impossible.

The second is the power from the equipment.

On Earth, it has the disadvantage of being cautious about using things from another world, but if you use it in a quest, you can use it to your heart’s content, as long as you don’t abuse it enough to affect your clear rank, and stability that guarantees more than a certain level of power no matter what kind of body you use it with. It has the overwhelming advantage of not having to worry about the aftermath.

‘On Earth, it’s appropriate to use skills and equipment in order, and vice versa when doing quests.’

We need powerful equipment that can support Aris’ poor abilities.

In Korea, which maintains strong control and stability even in a world that has reached this point, it was close to impossible to obtain the desired equipment, but the power of personal connections and enormous capital investment made it possible.

‘Finish all preparations until the goods arrive.’

After cleaning up, Yooseong went back to the panic room and put on goggles.

[Access the multi-dimensional navigation system]

[Quest observation succeeded]

-The girl who wants salvation (146 hours)

– Guns, germs, adamantium.

– 201 death squads who want to escape from the Pandemonium.

-Is there anyone who can compete with Jegal Sega and win?

– Track down a serial killer in Neotown.

······

·········

“…the death squad is secretly concerned.”

Like licorice at the pharmacy, the name is always included in the quest list window.

Feeling curious about the number of survivors decreasing day by day every time I checked, Yooseong suddenly clicked on it and made a startled expression.

[The death squad of 201 people who want to escape from the Pandemonium]

-Civilization Classification: B-02

-Civilization Rating: 2.02

-Difficulty: A+

– Demons invading the continent without even trying. Enraged by the accumulated damage, all intelligent races on the continent gathered the power of the entire continent to attack the demon world, the base of the demons, and committed a death squad. I was in a position to drift away. Help them return to their original world

-Clear conditions.

1. Safe return to the continent: Karma 1,000,000 per survivor, top-class mana stone x53, top-class demon heart x87, demonic sword Belphegor, flag of the god of war, shrine storm arrow, hatchling-class magic armor…

– Additional conditions.

1. When dealing a serious blow to the demons: Karma 50,000,000, all accessories and belongings of the defeated demons, and the core fragment of the demon king.

“What crazy!”

Yooseong hurriedly turned the page backwards.

Even at a cursory glance, there was nothing that did not give me goosebumps, from the hopeless situation in which no hope was found, to the level of A+ level of difficulty, to the splendid rewards.

Yuseong quickly flipped through the list in case he was denied, and finally found the quest he wanted.

[Unidentified creature. very hostile to humans]

-Civilization Classification: H-32

– Civilization Rating: 1.02

-Difficulty: C-

-A base built at 9000m under the sea to collect resources. As usual, while digging up resources and sending them to the sea, something unexpected happened. The appearance of an unidentified creature that has never been seen before. Unfortunately, the creature has a very hostile attitude towards humans and is slaughtering the personnel in the base. Run away from the creature and escape to the surface.

-Clear conditions.

1. Escape to the ground: 200,000 Karma, 5x Emergency Regeneration Ampoule for severe trauma, 3x high-powered explosives for crushing rocks, 5kg pure Titan Ingot,

– Additional conditions.

1. Rescue Survivors: 100,000 Karma per Survivor. Highly enriched helium 3 fuel rod x1.

Although the grade was a little uneasy, the moment Yooseong checked the quest reward, he intuitively felt that he had no choice.

Unlike potions with names whose effects are ambiguous, it is a treatment called Emergency Regeneration Ampoule for Severe Trauma, whose effect and performance can be intuitively understood.

I was able to instinctively realize that this was necessary in order to completely recover Aris’ serious injury.

“Whoa.”

C-class.

It is not a special case where the grade and difficulty are not proportional, such as ‘I can’t stand it anymore’, but a quest that has a level of difficulty that is genuinely suitable for a C-class.

Yooseong, who had been breathing and calming down, started the quest with a firm expression on his face.

[‘Unidentified creature. very hostile to humans’]

[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program]

[Specification of dimensional coordinates and completion of Ariadne’s thread connection]

[Perform the movement of the spirit child]

* * *

The first thought that came to my mind was ‘It’s X’.

Anyone would think that the first thing that catches their eye as soon as their view changes is the claws of a monster aiming at their head.

“Kuk!”

I threw my body with all my might, but I couldn’t avoid the burning pain rising from my cheek.

‘The skill cannot be used because the synchronization is not over! then···.’

[Pay 5,000 Karma Points to get Brent Republic Lab #53 Melee Armed Prototype (C+)]

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

“Keeaek!”

The plasma ax blade generated with the sound of lightning momentarily stopped the monster creature and let out a scream.

A gap revealed in an instant, a situation where no skill could be used, but Yooseong, who had become accustomed to fighting itself through numerous experiences, dug in without hesitation and swung an ax at the monster’s head.

Kwajik!

A monstrous creature that struggles even after its crown is split in half, spraying blue blood in all directions.

A flat head and protruding pupils, green scales covering the whole body and a curved back, gills and webbed feet.

The moment Yooseong saw the appearance of a half fish and frog, he felt an instinctive disgust and took a step back without realizing it.

“···yes?”

It was strange.

I can’t say it’s a lot, but I’ve seen quite a few monsters, and I’ve had the experience of facing monsters that looked more terrifying and bizarre than this, so I couldn’t figure out why I felt an incomparable disgust from this guy.

In order to understand the incomprehensible reaction, he suppressed his instincts and raised his head forward to observe the monster’s appearance in more detail. A name suddenly came to mind.

‘This must be deep…’

[Synchronization with ‘Jerome’ completed]

[You can use ‘Jerome”s skill]

– You are the one who watches over us from heaven. Suffering for us…

“Hey, come to your senses.”

-yes? all, who are you? Where are you talking about? Rather, where am I now?!

“Uh, um…”

After thinking for a while, Yuseong recalled Jerome’s words of prayer and Philip’s perception of the user, and spoke calmly.

“I’m an angel. I’m the one sent by the heavenly person to help you.”

-Ahhh! After all, he did exist!

‘It’s been annoying to explain the circumstances every time, but I guess I can do it roughly like this.’

Ignoring Jerome, who was memorizing prayers like a rapid-fire cannon, Yuseong called up the status window.

Name: Jerome

Occupation: Skilled heavy machinery operator

Level: 43

Title: always full of energy

Strength: 109

Agility: 92

Wisdom: 95

Stamina: 105

mana: 8

Possessed Skills: Operation of Titan heavy equipment (C-), tireless stamina (D), strengthening treatment (D), advanced equipment maintenance (D), skilful dexterity (D)

“What? Why are you so tall?”

When I saw the job of a heavy equipment driver, I thought that I would have abilities similar to ordinary people, but when the strength and stamina that surpassed Earth’s self, as well as the agility and wisdom that were slightly lacking, appeared, I couldn’t help but feel absurd.

-Because you’ve had an enhancement procedure? It is an essential procedure to work as a miner in this deep sea.

“ah···.”

Yoosung checked the skill window belatedly and nodded.

Looking at the word “resource base” built 9000m under the sea, I guessed that it was a world based on scientific civilization.

It was a little disappointing that the mana was low, but it was still a very satisfactory body.

“First, explain the situation. What happened, the condition of the base, and so on.”

-Yes? Doesn’t the angel know everything?

“I don’t know anything because I’m in a hurry. Why? Are you dissatisfied? Shall I just go?”

– Oh no! The problem started 30 minutes ago. While mining as usual, the signal of the employees in the base suddenly started to cut off with a warning that there was a hole in the outer wall. Several areas suddenly started closing down or flooding, and I was on my way to join a nearby staff member when the monster suddenly attacked and ran into this room.

“Aren’t there submarines or escape pods?”

-There is a submarine for material supply in C-5 area. But that place is completely opposite to where I am now. I have to go around the closed area in the middle, but the possibility of reaching that monster outside is…

He didn’t say anything behind the scenes, but the contents were clearly predictable.

Hearing Jerome’s gloomy voice, Yooseong raised his voice and said.

“I’ll do something for you, so don’t give up already. Could that be the only thing you believe in?”

– Angel!

“Yes, yes. It’s not good to guess. Once you bump into anything…”

Beep!

The meteor that came out of the room solidified as it was.

The mysterious creature, the Deep Ones, who look the same as the one you just defeated, are filling the hallway and looking this way.

Yuseong muttered inadvertently as he looked at the creatures hostile to humans, numbering in the tens of thousands.

“… hit a rock with an egg?”

“Ki-yi-yi!”

The harmony of screams that seem to pierce the brain.

Yooseong, without hesitation, threw himself into the opposite hallway, unleashing a flash of power.
