Gate of Amitilicia Online
Episode 101: Newbie 4
Log in for the 100th time.
Get down to Einfast and figure out what to do today. I'm done with my business here, so there's no reason to stay long. Do you want to keep going back to Dorad?
Join Quinn to the transfer gate. Einfast's vitality has increased with more players. But in a while, I guess we'll be moving to Zvand again, to Dorad, and beyond.
As I walked around looking at the city and people thinking about that, I heard a ringtone. Email.
When Luke and the others opened the email wondering if they had arrived in the dungeon (presumed), etc., it was from a player they did not know. The title is About Requesting Help in Acquisition of Demolition Skills. That's the second case following Gunhild. But the body of this email is very stiff. I wish it was lighter because it's not a business document.
I just moved to the side of the street to reply,
"Ah, Mr. Fist"
And I heard voices. It's Nix who's rushing over. Unlike yesterday, it wraps around a hooded cape. The type that can hide your entire body, with a deep green accent on the edge in white. Sounds prominent when it gets dirty.
"Looks like you made it shopping safely."
"Yes, in the store that Mr. Aoleen taught me, I was able to get it all together"
Last night, after dinner, we stayed open and broke up, so I was just wondering what happened after that, but it seemed to be going well and above all. By the way, I didn't sign up for a friend. No, you call yourself a high school girl, and you're resistant to hanging from this one. You wouldn't be mistaken for a numb system, but what is it? Well, you don't have to sign up to exchange emails, and I'll call you if anything happens, maybe.
"So, is that home now?
"No, I was at the training center until earlier. I was able to meet the Mr. Perkins you referred me to, so you trained me."
Oh, have you been there yet? So, I guess the fact that you're moving after that means you've got eyes on going outside.
"We're going to be in action outside today. I'm a little scared and nervous, but I'll make use of what you taught me. Mr. Fist, where are you going?
"Well, I thought I'd go back to Dorad, but I'm just trying to teach you some skills."
"Could you be referring to [dismantling] skills?
When I answered the question, I immediately asked: Is that it? I, I didn't explain anything about [dismantling].
"You knew?
"After that, when I searched the bulletin board for Mr. Fist, there was a thread about that relationship"
And Nix answers. Oh, you searched by my name.
When I egosearch on the official GAO bulletin board, my name hooks up there. [Dismantling] I gave myself a name when I published my skills, because I've done defensive combat videos, I've done trouble with idiots, and I've been named in various other parts.
By the way, my name doesn't hook up with a slew of sexual relations such as honey street sleighs. Promises seem to be kept properly. Instead, [Savior] is settled, but there is no choice because it has two names. And there are also [drug sales that shouldn't be mentioned by name] and [drug sales (of Toyama)] that aren't two names.
Put that aside. Oh, shit, did Nix find out about me? Just looking at yesterday's attempted duel, you knew the players around you knew about me, and you wondered. It's good because there's nothing nasty about being known and having trouble.
"Mr. Fist, you were a celebrity at GAO."
"Mmm. Well, that's what's going on. That doesn't mean you can be great or anything."
Sometimes trouble can be avoided, and vice versa. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're simply happy.
"Well, that's why I'm going to meet those players. Keep going hunting, demonstrating demolition is in the flow -"
That's it, I asked Nix.
"Hey, Nix. You, [Dismantling] You want skills?
If you saw the bulletin board, you would also understand the [demolition] specifications. It's a question on top of that. The same is true of the case of this request and the completion of [demolition], but it also includes another matter.
"Besides the skill thing, they're asking for advice on hunting on the field, so why don't you come with me if you want?
"I've seen the specifications, but it's not a determined skill at the moment"
I get the answers I expected. Because the disadvantages are huge. Is it tough on high school students?
"It just seems like it has a lot of merit in terms of getting into it. Lectures can even appear on your skills list, right?
"Ah. From there on, it's personal freedom."
"If hunting advice is practical, I'd appreciate it..."
And so I cut the word. I can see some hesitation in getting lost.
"I already have a client, can I jump in there?
"That's why I asked you if you wanted skills. It's an extra hassle to split them up over and over again, isn't it? You can do it all in one go. I don't know if I'm around when you want skills."
Don't bother coming back to Einfast just for that. It's possible in and of itself, but it's not like you don't care about the extra expenses.
"Well, thank you for your patience."
A little more lost and Nix bowed his head. Well, now there are three students, and...
"Then Mr. Fist. Um, I was wondering earlier..."
Nix's gaze with his head up is pouring next to mine. There's Quinn all the time since just now.
"Are you Stormwolf, the phantom beast that your wolf is Mr. Fist's partner?
"It's Quinn. I can't speak people's language, but I understand our language, so I can communicate easily. It's not like I'm Taming, this guy's acting with me at his discretion."
Quinn is staring at Nix. Nix bowed to Quinn like that.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Quinn. My name is Nix. Nice to meet you today."
and Nix greeting the discipline. No, I don't need to be that afraid. I said the words make sense, so I assume you're thinking a little like other residents in the same line?
Quinn was sober about Nix's attitude like that, but nodded lightly.
When I replied, it meant I could move quickly, so I decided to meet up with the clients. The place is outside the West Gate. I'm going to the woods. If you want to target rabbits, etc. you can do it in the southern meadows, but if it's that way, it can be splatter terrorism because there's very little that blocks your sight. I used it before when I taught Gunhild, but there are more "striking animals" in the woods than over there.
"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Fist"
Two players came this way.
One is a man with the gentle face of a blue eye. Her hair is long with gold and bound behind her neck. The weapon is a spear, a small sword on the side arm. The protective equipment is leather armor.
The other is a soft woman with blue eyes as well. My hair is short bob of gold. The weapon is a bow, a small sword on the side arm. The protective equipment is leather armor.
I hear that the name Riga is better for men and Ulm is better for women.
"Thank you for accepting our request."
Ryga and Ulm bowing correctly at the fold. Hmm, the tone is stiff as well as the email.
"It's Fist. You don't have to be afraid of that. In the game, age and appearance are not necessarily the same."
So the tone dragged this one too. I don't know, I'm playing a game but I have the illusion that I'm working...
"No, because even if we were actually older, we'd be in a position to ask for teaching."
Mr. Reiga was unwavering. I'm sorry, Mr. Ulm laughs.
"This guy, he doesn't give up that part. It may be hard, but forgive me."
"No, well, I hope that's okay"
Wet. It's hard to do something, but if you say this is vegan, you can't help it. I can't force the tone. Avatar and voice are young, but aren't the people inside older than me? About a generation. I feel that way.
"Let's go anyway."
Time is finite.
We introduce ourselves to each other and head to the woods. I heard him on the road, and he said Mr. Ryga and Mr. Ulm are a couple. Apart from the fact that Sither & Stitch is special, isn't it unusual for a couple of older couples to do GAO? It's quite a thing to be close to a couple.
So, why did the two of you start GAO?
"I happened to see it covered in the news or something, but it was very real. I thought I'd have fun in the mood for a trip abroad. Besides, the travel software can be used in the same VR gear, and I was wondering if I could enjoy it."
Apparently.
What Ms. Ulm calls travel software is the software of traveling where it exists in a reality reproduced in virtual reality. Originally created for people who cannot walk outside due to illness, etc., famous tourist destinations at home and abroad continue to be released. A company called 'Kauvan' that develops and sells the same as GAO. This name, by the way, can be the same as the name of the Creator God in GAO.
"Nevertheless, this game is a lot. As I complained, I have five senses. Moreover, NPC reactions are really natural. That's like a series of Sochius."
Says Ryga, enjoying the surrounding views.
"Sochius" is a complex company with headquarters in the United States. It deals with computers, medical care, energy relations, etc., and "Kauvan" can actually be in that series. VR and AI technologies are diverted from there. Rumor has it. For this reason, I can't solve the fact that GAO's services are limited to Japan at this time.
"But I didn't think there was a player who wanted to learn [Dismantling] at the same time as we started."
Whatever, it's been quite a while since I've completed [Dismantling] and released the information, but only two people have ever taught me skills. That's why I never thought a rookie would ask for it from the start.
"Because that obviously seems more efficient when you think about being fruitful. Because it's no different in real life or in the game that you need something to precede you. Fortunately, it's also resistant."
and Ryga answers. Nodding together, Mr. Ulm. You're resistant, and that's what you do?
"Does resistance mean in real life, not in a skilled sense?
It was Nix who asked. Yeah, and Mr. Reiga, who's the boss.
"My father will do the hunting. So when I was a kid, they helped me dismantle it, so I was used to seeing it."
"Because I've been watching that since I've been with this guy, too. I was surprised at first, but I'm fine now."
Are the couple all together irresistible? That's rare. Uh, but if you're from the country, that's what people are for. Even my grandfather hunts.
"Um, I thought. Do you always have to dismantle the prey?
Nix opened his mouth with hesitation.
"Shouldn't we bring the hunted prey straight into the hunting guild?
"Still no problem. However, the buying price drops as long as it is not there. It's hard to carry without storage, and don't lose quality if left untreated"
"Is it reproduced to the point of diminishing quality? That's a hell of a hold."
And, surprisingly, Mr. Ryga. Yeah, because the GAO operation is crazy.
"Well, for all the hassle, the buyout goes up. So I'm basically dismantling. I've got a lot of prey, and when it's troublesome, they keep buying it away."
The Wolf system in particular often comes in herds. I can secure many heads in a single battle, but it's a lot of work when it comes to dismantling them all.
"So I don't know if Nix will activate his skills, but if he's resistant to dismantling them, you can just keep bringing them in. Still, the income is quite different."
For one hunt, for one block of meat or a small piece of fur, it's pretty much the whole thing. There are price differences depending on the site.
"Right. If you don't even care about brutal portrayal, the benefits are really huge"
"That's the best neck there is. And there's no way we can attack anywhere."
"What does that mean?
"Aren't there a limited number of areas you can attack?
It was Mr. Ryga who answered Nix's question.
"If acquiring [demolition] skills makes it the same as hunting in real life, for example, if you attack your abdomen, could a catastrophe also be caused? Dirt leaks out of your gut, etc."
"You're right, Mr. Reiga."
If an unskilled player attacks and preys, there is no damage to the meat or fur. Still, it's a fact that players already know that it's better to take them down clean and drop good quality stuff.
However, in the case of [Dismantling], the damage to the prey remains directly linked to the quality. You can't buy away meat all over the dirt, and I don't want to bring it in as a seller. The GAO operation is really crazy.
"That's why it's also important to aim for the steeple. Let's check it out while we demonstrate."
Time to get to the woods. Demonstration begins.
