Different World Reincarnation as a Sage ~With my Gaming Knowledge, I’ll become the World’s Strongest~

◇

next morning.

After a night at the inn, I was walking around the town to buy a new sword.

Weapons are important.

No matter how much you're used to fighting or how critical you get, you can't defeat an enemy if you have insufficient stats.

All battles so far have been decided with a single shot, because the opponent was weak.

In this world, unlike BBO, status does not seem to be visible, but status is still important.

If Lesser Wolf had twice as much defense as Wolf, I would have been counterattacked with a critical counter and I couldn't defeat it.

Lack of status is such a thing.

… While thinking about that, I arrived at an equipment shop near the guild.

According to the guards, there is only one equipment shop in the city.

It seems that they are not making their own products but selling what they buy.

"Welcome. What are you looking for?"

"It's a short sword that fits my physique."

"If it's a short sword ... this is around"

With that said, I will be guided to a corner of the equipment shop.

There are many new swords lined up there.

The price is uniform at 30,000 gil and it can be said that it is relatively affordable.

But ... all seem to have low attack power.

It's far better than the sword I have now, but I don't want to save my life on this sword.

"... Are there any better swords?"

"It's a bit expensive, but the best sword is here."

The clerk says so and guides me to the back of the store.

There was a sword with a 150,000-gil price tag.

The length is just right.

"Can I shake it?"

"of course"

Listening to the clerk, I grabbed a 150,000 gil sword and shake it lightly.

... a good sword. There is no extreme performance, but it is carefully made.

In this case, you can fight without worrying about breaking.

If you buy it, you lose most of your money.

But let's do this.

After all, Novice's status is extremely poor.

I want to rely on weapons at least to gain attack power.

"Let's buy this"

"Every time!"

I hand 150,000 gil to the owner and receive a new sword.

"How do you like your armor together? I'll make it cheaper!"

Armor?

Certainly, wearing armor will increase durability a bit, but you probably won't need it now.

With Novice's basic defense, wearing this amount of armor doesn't give much effect.

Rather, the disadvantage is that the movement is slow and the probability of being attacked increases.

I would like armor with special effects that increase agility ... I don't see any such magic items on sale.

Well, there is no money to buy where it was sold.

"No, keep armor away."

Now, my money is almost zero.

I need to make money.

◇

"Lesser Wolf's subjugation request, are there any today?"

“Yes! There are 32 remaining subjugation requests!”

"The number of subjugation on request?"

"It's the number of monsters that get rewarded. It's okay to kill more than that, but the reward is only up to the number of subjugation requested. When you come in, you're less likely to encounter monsters. If you're a used adventurer, you'll avoid requests that cut the remaining five animals. "

……So that's it.

Does it mean that defeating over the number of requested defeats is inefficient?

"Okay. Let's look for another request."

"Huh? There are still 32 subjugation requests for Lesser Wolf?"

"If it's about 32, it would take less than two hours. After finishing, it would be troublesome to return to the guild to get the next request, and I would like to receive the next request at once."

With that said, I look for other requests.

I want to spend a little bit of time in poor Novice.

In order to change jobs quickly, you must earn money for the capital city.

"Thirty-two just two hours ...?"

"Oh, two hours. Wolf monsters have a lot of enemy abilities and make swarms, so they're easy to beat."

Anyway, even if I don't find the demons, they will find me from the demons' side and come in.

Of course, it is dangerous to be caught and pinched by two or more groups at the same time.

The enemy's stiffness can be defeated with a single shot, and it is an ideal request for me who has battle experience but poor status.

However, if the request is not enough, there is no help for it. Look for other requests.

I will look at the request book while thinking about such a thing.

If you ask Teresa, you're likely to get a stronger request than Lesser Wolf. If you want to find the right level of difficulty, you have to find it yourself.

Probably, my ability now is in the upper rank of E rank.

We were able to defeat the C-rank Wolf once, but that Wolf was alone.

I'm not confident I can win if I have a herd, so it would be impossible to get a C rank request.

The reason is different between "defeat" and "stable and reliable defeat".

Therefore, you should avoid requests that are more difficult than Lesser Wolf.

The difficulty of the request depends on the level of the reward, so you should look for a request with an E rank and a reward of 7000 gil or less.

I was looking for a request while thinking so, and found a perfect request.

Defeat spear rats. Rank E.

Reward per killing 4000 gil.

Requested number of defeats, 546.

The reward is not too high, but the number of defeats is high.

This is a request to earn money safely.

"I want to receive this"

"It's a spear rat subjugation ... I think it's really good! It's perfect for Eldo!"

Apparently, Teresa seems to be supporting me.

The rank of the request was lowered, but could this be judged as appropriate if it was such a request?

◇

A few hours later.

As I digested Lesser Wolf's request, I was heading to the spear rat hunting ground.

By the way, this time after asking Teresa, the guards of the town also checked the hunting ground, so I was not deceived.

People are learning creatures.

"Is this a spear rat forest?"

Not long after I started running, I reached the forest.

It seems a little farther than Teresa said, but it's about 30 minutes, and it's probably within the margin of error.

This is probably a spear rat forest. maybe.

It's my first time fighting because the rat-type monster wasn't in the BBO ... so it's better to experience it now.

When you meet a strong rat-type monster, it's a big difference without experience.

With that in mind, I explore the woods.

Then ... I found a large rat with a spear-like head.

Even though it's large, it's about 40 centimeters because it's a rat.

… I ’ll kill one animal for now.

I'm straight, approaching a spear rat.

Then, when the distance was about 30 meters, the spear rat turned here. Apparently you noticed me.

"... The search distance is about 30 meters."

If your opponent is the first monster to fight, gathering information is more important than killing itself.

Well, how come out.

I'm approaching little by little, watching the spear rat move.

The spear rat took an unexpected action.

"Cue!"

The spear rat screamed into the heavens.

Clearly what this means.

I called my friends.

"Cue!"

"Cue!"

"Cue!"

A little later, similar sounds began to be heard throughout the forest.

...... This isn't enough for 10 or 20 monsters to come out.

At least three digits are likely to appear.

"Not good ..."

A small herd can take on a one-on-one battle.

However, if the number of opponents is double digits, it will not be so good.

The only salvation is that the enemy is E rank.

If the guild does not rank correctly, their danger is not much different from Lesser Wolf.

Rather, it was said that Lesser Wolf was close to the top of the E rank, so it is likely to be safer than Lesser Wolf.

… Well, no matter how strong the enemy is, in the current situation we have no choice but to fight.

"Eat!"

I stopped watching and slashed at a nearby spear rat.

It's a sword that focuses on hitting the sword quickly without being critical.

Nevertheless, the spear rat died in a single blow.

After all, it is weak.

Spear rats alone are much weaker than Lesser Wolf.

This monster is probably E-ranked on the premise of mass gathering.

But-this spear rat is the worst for me.

Right now, I'm just trying to make up for the weakest stats with technology so that I can fight at least.

With technology, the difference in status can be compensated to some extent.

In fact, I have never had a decent attack since I came to this world.

However, if a large number of monster opponents battle, no matter how well they fight, they will definitely be attacked.

Because it is physically impossible to avoid all dozens of monster attacks.

With that in mind, I analyze my surroundings.

Judging from the number of voices heard, the maximum number of enemies is 300.

It depends on the attack power of the enemy. The status of the spear rat alone should be quite low.

Not an opponent who can't win.

"... I have no choice but to do it."

With that said, I slash on a nearby spear rat.

The thing to consider in such a situation is to reduce the number of enemies anyway.

The fewer enemies you have, the less you are hit, and the better your chances of winning.

While defeating spear rats while thinking about such things, spear rats gathered one after another.

And the spear rat attacks me one after another.

"... It hurts."

But it is not unbearable. Not a serious injury.

After all, the attack power of spear rats seems not to be high.

I analyzed the situation in a flash based on the damage received and the number of enemies.

-You can win.

I wield my sword while enduring the pain, and hunt down spear rats one after another.

Even with many opponents, there is room for technical intervention.

It is the most efficient and keeps killing many monsters constantly. This is also technology.

And most importantly-.

"Self Cure"

It's time for recovery.

Novice's MP is very low.

Even if “Self Cure” consumes a small amount of MP, the number of times of activation is limited.

If recovery is too slow, it will be too late.

If recovery is too fast, the amount of recovery will be wasted.

I adjust the timing finely while watching the amount of recovery and keep fighting.

Anyway, just like a machine that just defeats the enemy.

I just swing my sword and keep recovering my stamina.

Then, when the rest of the MP became dangerous.

Finally, all the spear rats have gone.

"... how did it work?"

But it was a tough fight.

This is much more annoying than Lesser Wolf, who was said to be ranked higher in the E rank.

Who treats such a request as E-rank?

While saying so, I will collect the sharp part of the spear rat's head.

This part is called "Spear Rat's Ear".

I don't know what to use for it, but if you take it to the guild, you've apparently defeated spear rats.

It is troublesome to pick up a large amount of material after such a battle, but if you think that each one will be funded for the royal city, you will be motivated.

Then I finished collecting all the "Spear Rat's Ears".

The total number of ears gathered is 276.

At the request alone, 1.1 million gil or more.

Here, the purchase price of the head itself is added. Dreams don't swell.

With that in mind, I returned to Ilia.

◇

"276 !?"

The voice of Teresa echoes in the quiet guild.

This is the reaction if you go to the guild and report that you've defeated 276 spear rats.

...... It's white again. The spear rat knew that it was such a demon and said, "It's the perfect request! Wasn't it?

"... I guess spear rats are such monsters. I just found one and they got together."

"It's not that kind of monster !?"

……e?

Is it different?
