Gate of Amitilicia Online

Episode 102: Newbie 5

Go through the woods. Let's start by looking for prey.

"There are quite a few things called accidental encounters because it's a game, but it's best to master [signs perception] skills if you want to be sure you're looking for prey. We'll get you closer to the prey."

The tone becomes polite due to the relationship that goes with Mr. Reiga and the others. You're starting to feel like you're doing a presentation.

"The downside to this skill is that it consumes MP as long as it is active. So it's common for players to take the method of activating it just for a moment, like Sonar, to explore the general position, and repeat the position check as they head that way. I just can't tell this skill, at the beginning, if the subject is a prey, a player or a resident. Once the level rises, we'll be able to identify you."

"Is it impossible to track it in a way other than skills? Tracking footprints, etc."

"If you say it's possible, it's possible. It's just that it's unclear if the prey you're chasing is still alive at that point."

I will use [Signal Detection] while answering Mr. Reiga's question. So far, there's no shadow of prey.

"Nix. Reality bound GAO, in some ways like Mr. Reiga just said. Sometimes Quinn helps me in my case. Because I can count on her sense of smell."

Quinn, who's going ahead of me, looks at Chira and this way, turning forward again.

"Depending on the wind direction, I sometimes find prey before my skills. So, it's a problem. What other way can you come up with this?

"How to find prey, right? You must have had the skill of [farsightedness]. If we can see the distance, I think it's possible to discover and act first."

Nix answered after a few thoughts. Yeah, that's one way to go.

"Otherwise, it's effective to explore the surrounding sounds with [audible enhancement]. The sound of scratching footsteps, bushes, and ringing can tell the existence. I pick up the extra noise inside I'm unfamiliar with, but I don't have to rely on my skills to see and hear my eyes."

Just like in reality, GAO has many different ways of approaching it. Mr. Reiga and the others would do well, including real life experience, etc. I feel that way.

"So, what do you say?

Meanwhile, I'll ask Nix, who wouldn't have had that experience.

"I have [signs perception], but frequent use runs out of MP, and you don't know anything unless you use it... I still can't grasp the addition or subtraction around it. Normal vision and hearing don't tell us anything at the moment."

I answer unfortunately, but that's normal. Even I tried and misplaced myself in my current state.

"In the case of [sign perception], it is paramount to know the range of effects. That way I put my travel speed in my account and figure out how often to use it. You just have to take your time to remember."

"Yes."

Nix responding honestly. It's not like I can suddenly do anything. I'm just starting GAO. What, so there's no rush.

"By the way."

Mr. Ulm said lightly, turning his attention to his surroundings.

"What is your relationship with Mr. Fist and Mr. Nix? Lover?"

"" No, sir. "

Me and Nix's instant answers overlapped.

"It was yesterday that I knew him. How fast are you hands, me"

"Oh, really? I'm sorry. I don't know, it seemed like a long time ago."

Mr. Ulm laughing corny. No, it's nothing. I'm not just treating Nix special. No, does that mean you can't leave me alone? Nix, I don't mean to have any special feelings for individuals, though.

"Damn you... Mr. Fist, Mr. Nix, I'm sorry about the house"

He sighs and apologizes to Mr. Ulm. No, I don't mind because I don't care. Nix doesn't seem to care either.

"I don't know what he's like in real life. This is what I look like, because I might actually be an old man over 60, and Nix might actually be a junior high school student."

You won't stick around too persistently, but I'll push just in case.

It's impossible to infer real age from an avatar. Not to mention I don't know what kind of outfit you're wearing in real life until I see you. Because personality may not be what it is.

Meanwhile, they say some players enjoy pseudo-romance on the understanding of it. It seems logical that even if you had a partner in reality, it's not cheating or incest because it's about virtual reality. What about that?

No, I'm talking about some players putting them in the residents. It's not love, but some players are immersed in a whorehouse. It's probably because it's a GAO that can have sex. In a way, no human play.

The leading Quinn stopped. When you activate [Signal Detection], there are four reactions coming this way. Herds around here, and only Wolf comes to the players.

"Front, four reactions. Probably Wolf. Prepare for battle. Quinn back off."

Tension runs. Nix and the others started preparing each weapon.

"Please just deal with it by yourselves first. I won't get my hands on it unless it's a deadly occasion. Show me what you can do now."

"Then I'll step forward. Mr. Reiga attacked from the sidelines as he drew his enemies. Mr. Ulm would like a bow in the rear, please."

I pulled out my sword, put up my shield, and Nix came forward. Are you going to take on the whole head yourself?

"Mr. Fist, are they coming straight this way?

Mr. Ulm asks as he strings on his bow. When I nodded, Mr. Ulm's right hand, which was ready, disappeared from the way. [Space Storage] Right.

"Please both leave my front empty."

I watched as I wondered what I was going to serve, and she took out the crossbow. The bolt has already been loaded. Do you use it too?

"I'll try to shoot this where I can see you. If you can afford it, go on and bow."

"Okay. Keep out of the way of shooting. Mr. Nix, look at the situation and step forward. I will protect you from siege."

"Yes."

Hmm, so far so good. I don't have a particular part to point out.

Eventually, I was able to confirm Wolf's appearance among the trees. Let's take a look at the arrangement first.

The fight ended easier than I thought.

A crossbow blow fired by Mr. Ulm in the lead turned one head into a fragment of light first. The power of a blow is impeccable, Crossbow.

Besides, in a frightened gap for a moment, Mr. Ulm switched his weapon to Longbow and fired an arrow. This did not come to an end, but nevertheless succeeded in inhibiting behaviour.

From there, the two remaining heads finally rush in, but Nix comes forward and intercepts them. Was it to draw attention that I slapped the table of shields with a pattern of swords?

Nix takes one attack with a shield and tows the other with a sword tip. Meanwhile, Mr. Reiga took a good position and rolled out the spear. The cutting tip profoundly pierces Wolf's neck and fastens with a single stab.

Bending over, Nix waves his sword horizontally and slashes off one of Wolf's front legs, poking his sword out at Wolf in depression, and stabbing him in the stomach.

The remaining Wolf was tailored with Mr. Ulm's second shot.

"Good luck"

[Signal detection] After checking the perimeter safety, I spoke to everyone.

"There were only four heads now, but there may be follow-ups, so don't let them get distracted because they wiped out all the enemies on the spot"

The animals that strike me are pretty scary. Sometimes I feel like I can't move. The tension that comes from those things can't help but loosen up at the same time as the end of the fight, but sometimes it's the GAO that eats a thousand throats off if you're caught off guard.

"Nix, are you okay?

"Yes..."

It doesn't look okay at all. Nix answered with a face. Mr. Ryga is considerably better than Nix, but his expression is stiff.

"No, it was quite powerful... I remember when I was attacked by a wild dog in the mountains back in the day"

exhaled deeply, Mr. Reiga said. Oh, that's scary, isn't it? Now that I'm used to GAO, I'm sure I'll be fine. No, I might be more scared after all than I can't fight like this one in real life.

"And what do you say...... you're responding vividly"

Mr. Ryga says as he looks at the tip of the spear. Do you know how to say that in real life? Your father seems to be the one who hunts, so maybe he has stabbed a stomach. I don't have that kind of experience, do I? Because I was a kid, and my grandfather wouldn't let me.

"Was Mr. Ulm okay?

"Yeah, it's no problem. There was a little resistance to shooting something alive, but that's all."

Mr. Ulm is flat. I figured it was a flying tool, so maybe it diminishes the sense of repentance.

"I have no problem fighting the way I do now. If there are any numbers, be careful not to be attacked simultaneously. Unless it's also an absolute defense, it's out first if you're surrounded. We'll look for the next one after a break, so stay calm."

Looks like Wolf can handle it enough. If you're dealing with herbivorous animals, you need to be careful, but let's try to teach them each time.

"Yes, then I'm going to start dismantling the prey. Procedures vary from hunter to hunter when it's real, but here it is my way. You should try and make mistakes after remembering."

I've had my prey hunted several times since then, and I decide to start today's main event. The material is a boar I caught alive and stunned earlier. It was not that big of an individual, so it hangs from a tree. That's interesting to see Mr. Reiga and Mr. Ulm, and Nix looks nervous.

"I'll drain the blood first."

I poured a knife into my neck and the red liquid overflowed. Hmm, and Ryga and Ulm are impressed, and Nix's face is strengthened. I guess everyone sees rainbow blood.

"You feel like your heart is moving out faster. I take it personally that my heart is pumping me and pushing my blood out. It's just dangerous when you wake up all of a sudden and get rammed, so be quick when you do it. If you're going to adopt safety measures, I think you should hang and pull them out after stabbing the stomach. Is it enough to use spiritual magic to lift your body diagonally, even if that's not possible due to the convenience of your arm? And sometimes spiritual magic forces you to shed blood to shorten your time."

"Does it magically manipulate blood to drain it from the body of prey?

"No, manipulate the water and inject it into the body of the prey. Because you can't manipulate the blood itself with spiritual magic."

Answer Mr. Ulm's question and take out a barrel with water from his [space storage] to get ready for work.

Hmm, I guess it's time to end the blood drain.

"Then we'll pull out the guts next. This will tear your belly, but be careful not to damage your gut. The reason is just now, you're right, Mr. Reiga. Especially if you do bladder or intestine. Be aware that the motivation for subsequent work will be shredded at once."

Before that, spiritual magic manipulates the water in the barrel to wrap the boar's body and move it violently. I feel like a washing machine.

"Wash your body. You're an image of getting rid of dirt and bugs. I'm still in the mood for it... things seem to have changed since the update."

"Say?

"Flea or something like that was implemented additionally, right?"

Wow, and everyone frowned.

This was noticed during the course of the demolition demonstration for Johnny. Little bug popped out of Charge Rabbit's hair. Probably will only be a problem for players who dismantle it. Normally, all but the drops disappear when you knock them down. Besides, so far, I don't listen to normal players who have been damaged by fleas and dandelions.

The rest may have something to do with players who like Moffmoff. They usually take care of the measures.

"GAO operations are livestock, so keep in mind that you don't necessarily get sick or other bad status from these parts. Luckily, baths are also implemented, so you should bathe after hunting"

Continue to work on explaining where to cut, etc. when getting your guts out.

After all the work, it's a real meal because of it. Bring the fire to a slightly open place and implement the grilled meat. For now, the seasoning is with salt and pepper. And balmian fruit juice. The vegetables were also prepared because the meat alone was nothing. I feel like a barbecue with a table.

"Oh, delicious. It's been a long time."

"Same flavor as a real boar... well made so far"

Eat boar meat. Mr. Ulm and Mr. Reiga are impressed. You two have eaten in real life, too. No, I haven't eaten in a long time in real life either. I'll have Grandpa send it to me when the next hunting season comes.

"This is what it tastes like, a boar. I was asking if it smelled or didn't taste good, but this is delicious."

Nix eating boar meat to make sure. This is like the first boar meat experience. If I lived a normal life, I wouldn't have a chance to eat. There are many theories about unsavory boar meat, but good meat is delicious.

"Well, when you grill the meat, you'll need this"

Take out the liquor barrel from [Space Storage] and pour the ale on the wooden jock and place it on the table. No one refuses. By the way, even at dinner yesterday, Nix was usually drinking ale. I didn't particularly avoid it when I ordered it. GaO doesn't prohibit minors from drinking themselves, but I think you should behave like that the first time you drink it if you're pretending to be a high school student. I didn't make any particular point though.

"But when a boar tastes so good, other animals want to try it the same as real life, you"

"Right. Looks like there are rabbits and deer, you can try to hunt them."

The two of them are eating boar meat while saying that. You can expect those to taste the same as real life, too.

"That's right. I think I can learn my skills from the demonstration earlier, but I have something to keep in mind."

Everyone's gaze gathers during the meal.

"As I've said before about the loss of item drops, this is a caveat about unethical code unlocking. [Dismantling] Once you have acquired your skills, now you will all become preachers of your skills. I mean, when you all hurt your prey, the players around you will see it too. You should be careful when you have other players around you."

I can show you things I don't want to see. It can be a source of trouble. So when I'm hunting, I'm pretty concerned about whether there are other players around.

"Then. [Dismantling] is also effective against humans. Even when you hurt a human, and vice versa, what you see changes from before you acquire it. Especially Mr. Reiga and Mr. Ulm, because the colour of the blood and the depiction of the gut will also be real."

Even after the update, the Ethics Code will be released until the final stage if 18 years of age or older have completed [Dismantling]. It will also change the way they feel they are human.

You won't actively fight people in everyone's style of play, but NPCs exist that work bandits and robbers, and there's PK and all that. When you have to fight those things, it's difficult with everyone's weapons to defeat them without bleeding them. Plus, it will change the impression you and your buddies get when they get hurt, so you have to be prepared if you're going to acquire skills.

"You can do it at any time, but once you've done it, it's irrevocable. So think about it before you decide."

"Okay. Thank you for your kindness."

Mr. Reiga and Mr. Ulm bowed their heads. Nix also moves late. In her case, she seems to think a lot, but I hope she doesn't rush to a satisfactory conclusion.

Afterwards, she enjoyed the grilled meat and opened it up.

Mr. Reiga and Mr. Ulm decided to [dismantle] complete their studies. Looks like Nix is still lost.

Register friends with each other and dissolve. Nix also hesitated to apply to me. Hi. I hear you had a resistance when you got to recognize me as a celebrity player. He's the same player, so I don't think he cares much about it.

Shall we go back to Dorad? I wonder what kind of prey I'll be after next.
