Gate of Amitilicia Online

Lesson 21: Specifications

Skills have seen growth in the last few days of hunting. I also acquired new skills because I was able to get an SP.

One is the skill of [leg enhancement]. Skills to strengthen your legs. acquired in the auxiliary sense of [footsteps]. The power of kicking increases. I think there have been other subtle increases in travel speeds. And bouncing power. You can solve it as a skill that can be corrected for exercises involving your feet.

The other is the skill of [throwing]. It's a skill to throw things. Come on, I wanted a means of ranged attack, so I got it. Ranged attacks with spiritual magic are also possible, but there is instability that they will no longer be available in places without spirits. Besides, hunting can hurt your prey more than you need to, so it's not easy to use. This skill allows you to attack with affordable means like stone or knife. The main thing is only [procedures] and [footsteps], but you should treasure it to restrain it or control the tip of the plane... the primary reason is because you want to hunt bird prey. Uh, I want tiocri chicken in Ainfast stalls for a while...

Login thirtieth time.

I also took a trip to the cosplay store because I had a paragraph in the hunt. To see how the armor is progressing.

"Welcome -!

Stitch greeted me with a smile and a cheerful voice as I entered the store.

"Ah, Fist, there you are. What's wrong with you today?

"I stopped by to see how things were going"

"I guess the armor is a little bit more complete. I think we can hand it over tomorrow."

"Damn, that's exciting"

"Oh, Mr. Fist."

Talking to Stitch, Sither showed her face from the back.

"What do you say, how's the hunt going?

"Fine. If you're prey around here, you can deal with it now. Except Brown Bear."

Wolves and boars are no longer a problem, but the new brown bear I came here and encountered is quite troublesome. As its name suggests, it's a brown bear, but when it stands on its hind legs, it's a giant over two meters, moves fast for the figure, and is highly durable. Still managed to knock him down, but I don't remember how many shots [Magic Shots] he knocked in. It was my first encounter, so I didn't know what to do, because I think there is.

"Brown bear? Have you sold your skin yet?

"No, I still have it. Need it?"

"Mm-hmm. I'm using a brown bear for your leather armor, but it's out of stock. I was just about to order it."

Oh, leather to be used in the basement.

"So it's a double layer of rock lizard and brown bear leather?"

"Some of it's three layers. Brown bear leather is the sturdiest animal around here. Excellent as a basement material because it is also shock resistant."

"Well then... hey, dude. This is the guy. You can offset the price."

When you're done with your gear, you end up paying for it. Then it would seem less bothersome to have the material subtracted. When he took the brown bear skin out of the rucksack and gave it to him, Cither gladly received it.

"It will be done by the end of the evening. Let me send you an email then. By the way, Mr. Fist, about the Lizardman killing the other day, he said the killer turned himself in."

"Really?

I heard you escaped, so I thought you stayed put until they crusaded you... did you get horrified knowing you were prize-necked?

"Uhm. He turned himself in and is currently serving a prison sentence"

"Hmm? Regardless of what I turned myself in, was the verdict published?

"The killer - no, is he an inmate now? He confessed directly on the bulletin board. He's in jail right now."

You mean in a prison cell because it's a prison sentence? Then you can't get out of jail for a while.

"But what kind of system is jail? It's not like you can't log out until the end of your sentence, is it?

"He says the counter appears first. How many hours until the end of my sentence, it feels like I'm running out of time. So, they're free to login and log out, but the count seems to stop when they're logged out"

So you don't see it as a prison term during logout? Imprisonment probably means hard labour or something. I'm still fine inside doing the work, but otherwise it would be painful in the barn to just wait for time to pass. Is it like exercise time or free time?

"So, what's your sentence this time?

"They say it's 120 hours in real time. Besides, he won't be able to recreate the character while he's in prison. If he was arrested, he'd be reincarnated, and so on, and some sled of self-proclaimed criminals would be in tears."

120 hours is five days if it's real, but time passes faster in GAO than real. You'll feel it longer as a physical sensation. However, since you seem to be able to view and write bulletin boards, is that at least the salvation? I can't tell if it's long or short as a prison term or heavy or light as a punishment for killing, but it seems like a pretty tough punishment.

"Speaking of which, what was the cause of this incident?

The slate I put up contained a history of the incident later by hearsay, according to which Lizardman was slashed shortly after entering the city. Looks like the player I slashed was just about to leave the city. It's the inside of the gate where the incident happened, and I'm letting it go bare with a guard right next to me, so it seems like I can decide it's not dangerous, but this is also because I wasn't there at the time, so I can say. Is there any reason why I couldn't?

"He was headed out of Zvand in a leaning down mood as he thought, and he bowled in with a bunch of Lizardmans right in front of the gate. When I was about to bump into him and he looked up, there was Lizardman's face. Suddenly Lizardman opened his mouth where he saw it at close range. He probably tried to talk to me, but that's when he seemed to eat up. He was driven by fear and reflexively pulled out his sword, but that tore Lizardman's neck deep and took his life with a single knife. In addition to the remaining Lizardman, for some reason even the guards came at me, and I got scared and logged out, which is what he said."

It was a bad roundabout, all I can say... if I was in the same situation, I'd probably be fisting out. [Magic Strike] Including. If this party also saw those faces at close range, it's not strange to nail them to the face without being conscious of the marker. That's a lot of impact.

"I guess if this was outside the city, there wouldn't have been anything."

It's not safe out there enough to walk around thinking. Because if you stay alert, the beast packs the distance all at once. You would have seen Lizardman coming if you had been on guard that way, and you could have determined that it was harmless at the marker.

"Well, the likelihood of being like this one would have dropped a bit if the field had"

But Sither said it was more likely that the same thing would have happened on the field.

"Back off, or you won't wake up first. If you look at the marker, you can tell it's NPC."

"Huh?"

Sither and Stitch raise their voices at the same time. Did I say something strange?

"No, no, Fist, you. Markers aren't something you can use to identify enemy allies, are they?

"Huh? 'Cause it's an NPC marker, right?

"That's right. That's not why I don't know."

I don't know why... what do you mean?

"Mr. Fist, hey, are you hanging up your marker setup?

"Oh, it's a pre-first login setting, and I'm turning it off from the beginning,"

"Don't you know that?"

Sizzlers and stitches that come with eyes like you see a rare beast. Something's wrong with my perception.

"Uh, Mr. Fist. You know what the marker color of a player is?

Stitch asks me like I'm afraid.

"It's green, isn't it? NPC is blue. Half of it turns red when it's a prize neck"

I know about that. I actually checked the marker on the prize neck.

"So, what's the marker color of the animal?

"No, I've never seen it"

"It's blue."

"Huh?"

Again, Stitch made it clear to me.

"Blue. Animal markers are blue. Warcraft markers are also blue. Residents are also blue. All markers for non-player organisms are blue."

"Huh...... Huh!?

What the hell is that? So you don't know the enemy allies by displaying markers!?

"Why is that happening?!?

"It's the official view that characters that don't have players are all NPCs, whether they're people or animals. Markers have nothing more to do than distinguish players from each other."

"What do you mean, this Lizardman too...?

"Mm-hmm. I've never seen it in person, but it would surely be a blue marker display. I don't know if Lizardman is the only other color."

"Oh, like a player-owned animal or a user demon made out of player magic, that's half green and half blue, only for NPCs that belong to players. The NPCs hired by players remain blue."

I thought there were as many categories as players, NPCs, and targets. Is that it? Then...

"How have all the other players ever distinguished a good guy from a bad guy?

"Fist, you've done this before without a marker. You hear that?

When I asked, Stitch's gaze returned in a frightening mood. No, I've only been dealing with animals...

"There is a slightly finer distinction being made that this is the other VRMMO, but that means GAO is not. Damn, GAO has a lot of specifications that aren't player friendly."

and Sither sighed.

GAO is famous for its graphics quality and freedom compared to other VRMMOs, but it can also be famous for its less player-friendly specifications. Realistic limitations such as hunger and drowsiness, and the fact that the Bounty Neck System has been running unannounced, among other things, from details such as the player's name not appearing on the avatar in the game. [Dismantling] Because it is. I wish I could stab you with a knife.

"In this case, there was nothing wrong with it if it was the way it was. The only obvious enemies were animals, warcraft, and bounty necks. Except for the story, however, when a neutral character appears on the table that can be judged an enemy by appearance. Especially since goblins and orcs are the first enemies in regular games... many players will attack without hesitation if encountered. They have a player who sent a request for a change in the marker's specifications to operate on this one, but it's probably hopeless. It seems that requests have been sent so that you can display your name, display your enemies' HP, and know what's active and inactive, but the area hasn't changed since beta."

Yeah, it would be handy if the enemy's HP was displayed. As it stands, only when PvP is displayed other than my own HP. Oh, speaking of which, you couldn't even see the party member's HP, and you heard that during the fight, you needed to hang up and figure out when to recover. In fact, when I partied with Ray, I didn't see Ray's HP. If you can't speak out because of a state abnormality, you can't recover and die, and I guess it's possible. Even though even the ethical code limits the bleeding and other easily understandable damage portrayals.

"But... thank you very much."

Put your arms together and the sither frowns at the root.

"Why would GAO operations try to penetrate such specifications? There will be quite a few players' requests, but there is no reflection at all"

We will draw on that kind of request and dissatisfaction from the players to make updates. Isn't that normal for this hand game? Players stop the game if dissatisfaction increases. That should be a dead and alive issue for the operation. Yet the current operation does not break the status quo.

Operations rarely show us information directly. Because if I hadn't written about the law on the bulletin board, more criminals might have been born. Even about Lizardman, I wouldn't have attacked him if I'd known.

But this was something I could tell by looking into. I could have known there was a law in this world, and I could have looked into the details of it. Even the subhuman thing came to know its existence from a little conversation. Yes, I have information. In the GAO, around us. I can just say that we were just playing by assumption without questioning anything.

"Maybe the players themselves expect to think and act rather than the operation being unfriendly to the players."

GAO is an unknown world for us. If I acted inconsiderate in that, I would return it to myself as pain. If you don't like that, think about everything, maybe that's what you're trying to say.

I think it's extreme. I wonder if you could tell me the minimum I need.

"At least this world is kind to those who try to learn for themselves. Even for Einfast's training center, it's a big library and a pile of information."

"There's a lot of information about blacksmiths and sewing over there."

You used a training center and a big library for both Cither and Stitch. Sure, there were recipes for cooking and dispensing there, and I treasure them quite a bit.

But you really felt understudied this time. I wonder if you could find out a lot about the subhumans as soon as you did a little research in the big library.

Maybe it's a good idea to read a book from one end in the big library because it's not too late now. Exactly. There won't be a common sense book in the world, but it should be better than nothing. We'll hear a lot from the residents later... well, we'll talk about it when we get back to Einfast.

But I wonder what the operation is really thinking. Dare to maintain specifications that are not player-friendly and do not disclose information about the world directly. No way. I forgot, no way. There's no way the guys who can make games of quality so far don't mind that part. So I wonder if this so far is intentional, not inadvertent in the operation. I don't know if it really is.

But if the current situation is a specification intended for operation, I guess it will continue to be so for a long time. There is probably no improvement in player proximity. But if you break it off like that, you can see the way too.

"If you're curious or don't know, find out for yourself first, or..."

"Mm-hmm. What is it?

"When I was a kid, I just remembered my father used to tell me that."

I shrugged my shoulders and answered the neck leaning sither.

I don't know, I have to study in the game...
