Golden Experience
Episode 236: Collaborators
A bunch of flying shit like angels stopped coming out.
They were so weak, so many, they just attacked without even thinking about protecting them, so they were really good at earning experience using the Hobbgoblins under Bamboo.
"Is that the system message in the meantime? Events are in the second half, so I guess I switched from a miscellaneous fishfight to a boss spin."
I'll check the SNS.
Apparently, a monster called the Archangel of the Great Boss has already been crushed in modern times.
Besides, it's the seventh disaster that crusaded me, that I'm the world boss born at the last event.
That seems to mean as per the scenario.
After all, in the second half of the battle, the fish won't come out, so I guess they can earn money by even circling the boss.
Bumb is the dungeon boss who puts this neighborhood of Neuschlos under control.
Naturally, he has many family members and has a lot of work to do for them. You can call it broad-handed.
For this reason, I was convinced that the number of angel crusades, which is a fish, would be top on a player basis.
Anyway, the angels flying around the realm are bound to kill them all every time.
I don't count any more, but it's not really a job that one player can do.
Ranked # 1 is definitely this bumb.
But the last time my name got on the event rankings, I also knew there was a move on SNS to look for myself.
If I can find it, I don't know what will happen.
Once someone finds out, it will spread in the SNS, and players who have been defeated by bamboos and subordinates in this dungeon will take revenge here and there.
If it's a bumb, you don't have to come if you don't want to die, but that would also negate the purpose of the game. We have no choice but to separate them from each other.
But they don't necessarily break it off either.
So I didn't intend to reveal myself, and naturally I am now offering anonymous hope for the event.
So Bambu was sure. Event number one is "Anonymous Hope".
"But the angels aren't coming anymore. Then you can't make any more points for me. I would have liked to try to be anonymous in first place. Well, I don't know if the conditions for obtaining points are public, and I don't know if it's the number of angels crusading."
"─ ─ That's right. However, it is said that the Archangel Crusade will be counted separately from the Event Points, and if there are no more angels, it is still too early to give up."
"Ah! Who is it?
I looked around in surprise at the sudden sound of flesh.
Then behind the bump, a woman stood right on its side of the hard-earned rebuilt mountain hut.
The blonde hair that was just blinking was shining brightly with the sun's light.
There's no way Bumb will ever forget this face.
She said, "Oh, my God! That's the woman!
"Long time no see. Mr. Bumb...... so glad, right? I haven't introduced myself, but you're probably the third person in the rankings for the invasion at the last event."
They found out about our identity.
It would have been natural if they had listened to that solitary conversation. If this woman is a player, it is easy to guess that we are also a player from there.
I'm the only one in the boss area.
I've always been, so I was totally alarmed.
But it wasn't like there was no one in the area to break into.
Now this woman once came here with her people.
"... then what? Are you going to spread SNS?
"I won't do that. There's also a reason why I can't. Rather, I brought you a nice story today."
Suspicious.
Ancient and present, stories that start with good stories are usually fraudulent or fabricated.
"It's cool. You're on time. Hit the other one."
"Well, don't say that, just talk.
If you ask me, I think you want to let anonymous hopes slip into the top rankings. [M] The first half of the point is unclear, but the second half of the Archangel is well written in the System Message in the Crusade Leaderboard.
I mean, if you crusade with an archangel, it shouldn't be impossible to put your name on that ranking. "
Apparently, earlier, he had also been asked about his desire to put anonymous hopes and names on it to make players on the human side regret it.
Anyway, it's just an avatar made like that, but the female character with a beautiful appearance unexpectedly blushed as if she had seen her childish desire to self-reveal.
"... shit. But now I can't even go to a city called the Hugel Cup. They say that monsters are not discriminated against locally, but it doesn't make sense to go to the venue no matter how much you can participate, as monsters can't use the transfer system between cities in the first place."
"You're right if you ask me. Well, then there's no problem. How do you think I got here in the first place?
I've got a charter machine for you. "
When the woman said so, a shadow inadvertently cast around her.
If you look up, something huge is approaching from above.
I've never seen this before, but it's...
"D, dragon...!?
"Don't hesitate to ride. Instead of asking me to help, I'm going to ask you to help me with a lot of other things."
"Meh... What the..."
"Well, I'm pretty much in the same position as you. It's just a player."
Every story I heard on the road on the back of a dragon since I named her Lair deserved a surprise.
Especially when it came to 'summoning'.
I never thought that combining it with "space magic" would make metastasis possible simultaneously.
Of course I got it right away. I tried to 'summon' myself to a place where I was under my command to try, but it was stopped by the Rare on board.
"Are you stupid? If I did that, I'd be back in that forest again. You want me to pick you up already?"
"Oh, no. I need to give it a try."
"If you really want to, you should do it once you've settled somewhere. First, I want you to 'summon' my men."
Then I was on the back of a dragon for a while, but eventually I was unloaded in a meadow with nothing.
I can see things like castles in the distance, but there's nothing else.
It was true that the entrance to the event venue was suburban, but it was too far away.
"What is this place?
"─ ─ Thank you, you can go home now. Bye. Bye.
No, actually, it's you now, Dragon, but there's a bit of a crack in the face for some of the players. It's not convenient to get on him and get on the ground directly.
So I'm sorry, but we're walking from here. Yeah, if you want to try 'Summon', do it now. I have things to do with me "
To put it that way, Bambu just summoned a hobgoblin mage who was in the woods and 'summoned' himself to another hobgoblin in the woods.
When she returned, Rae wore some sort of expensive armor and dress and waited blindfolded what seemed to be a luxurious material as well.
"Welcome back. Are you satisfied?
"Oh, well. This is awesome. Besides, what are you dressed like?"
"No. It's not a big deal. Actually, Bambu, I'm not the one challenging the archangel with you. I'm supposed to challenge another group."
Then who are you going with?
"It's my job. You see, there's a hobbgoblin mage down there, right? It's the same."
Hobgoblin Mage.
I've probably never been so nursed before.
The players who have fought these Hobbgoblins in Neuschross have been vague about how many of them are big goblins.
Does Rare know Hobbgoblin?
Or is there something, even a means of knowing the other person's race?
This woman doesn't know what she's good at. I can't see the bottom at all.
Especially now I feel like I'm hiding my gaze with blindfolds.
I didn't even feel so alert though.
The worst scenario for Bamboo is to be betrayed by Rare and spread the identity with the SNS.
But I don't feel that this Rare has the merit of doing that.
Rather, it seems to me that Rare has more secrets to know and have trouble with than Bumb.
He said that there were also reasons why he could not write to SNS. Which means publishing her name is a risk to her in and of itself.
"─ Wait, Rae, you're the winner of the first event!
"Oops. Have you finally noticed? I was thrilled to think you might be the player who started the game after the first event."
I just thought that was the so-called official character of the operation.
"... was there someone inside, that?"
"That's right. What do you think it is? Well, you can say you revealed this one's identity, right? I'm glad you trusted me.
Yeah, that's right. I can sign up for a friend if I want. "
Rare said so and took a card out of her armor pocket.
I've never used a bump before, but if it's just an explanation, I've read it. It should have been a specification to give this card, which can be generated in the inventory, to the person you want to register your friend with, so that the person can register your friend by placing the card in the inventory.
If you want to disarm it, just take it out and tear it away.
I have heard that if only one of them puts a card in the inventory, they will be in a friendly state, but in order to make sure that they are released by mutual consent, it is Theory who replaces the card. It has nothing to do with bumbs without friends.
Bumbs also generated and removed their cards from the inventory. Unlike rare, cards suddenly appear in your hands.
Anyway, there are only players on this scene, and it doesn't seem like they needed to play a role like they bothered to take cards out of their nostalgia, but is that the way it is?
"─ Okay, so now I can sign up as a friend."
"Oh. I did the inventory."
Only one thing is added to the friends list, the name Rare.
"Now we're friends.
More than that, we will continue our discussion. It is up to me to go with you to the crusade. [M] I was a bit of a friend, and I handed it down ─ ─ "Summon: Gaslak."
When Rae activated her skills, a musculoskeletal and splendid armored hobgoblin appeared beside her.
No, this is not the hobgoblin I'm used to seeing.
It is similar but different.
"This guy...."
"My family name is Gaslaq. Goblin King will fight with you this time."
Bamboo set his stomach and decided to cooperate fully with Rare.
Or if you think calmly, if you also know this trait over there, you know Ajito.
You also know that that mountain hut is the Lispawn point of the bump, and if Rae cares about it, it's possible to hunt this one for extended squirrels.
In addition, it has powerful NPCs like this gas lake and the dragon that we just saw.
I mean, I don't know if Rae herself is asleep, but regardless, this one can keep hunting.
Rae didn't say that directly, but it's like he doesn't have a choice from the start.
Before breaking up in the meadows, Rae handed me a dark green robe covering my body.
Nevertheless, the length is considerably shorter, with the image of a hooded tunic in one way or another.
Thank you very much for not inhibiting Bamboo's movement.
I was going to put this on and tell you to hide your identity.
Certainly, there are not any players who have seen Bamboo as it is.
No matter how many monster players you say you can participate in, if you see a bumb there, you'll find out that the bumb is a player. That's not what Bamboo wants, and apparently Rare is too.
It is therefore Gaslark who decides to stand out and lead the party.
This goblin king seems very smart and speaks a lot of human language.
Perhaps if you raise INT or MND, Bamboo's men will also speak words.
"So, Master Bambu, shall we go?"
"Oh, but I don't need any respect. I hate to admit it, but you're better than me. If you're humbled by someone who knows you're superior, you can't stand up even with me."
"Because it's sexual. Besides, if you're Rae's friend, you can't be indignant."
"Oh, wow."
Goblin and hobgoblin populations to go meadows.
These are Bumb himself and these Gaslark 'summoned' here.
There are 56 people in total.
Sometimes it's about protecting Bumb's realm, and I put myself in and said 20 is the limit, and then Rae ordered Gaslark to 'summon' 36 of us.
"─ ─ Ah, I see something. Is that the venue of the event?"
"Exactly like an entrance gate to an event venue. There's a long tunnel ahead, and there's an artifact behind it."
"You, why do you know more about this than I do?"
"I have asked Rare for more details. I'm trying to support Bamboo-sama as much as I can."
"Oh, wow, that's right. I'm sorry."
The players, who noticed the bumbs approaching them, would fade.
That would be the case.
Anyway, it's a horde of over fifty hobgoblins.
Besides, I don't know if the players know, but there's also gobling in the center of it.
A little city is enough power to drop.
"There's a lot of big goblins here!
"What the fuck!?
"In the meantime, attack ─ ─"
"Ma, wait!
A woman stopped the players trying to arm themselves.
Looks like an NPC knight to see him in armor similar to the knights around him.
From the way the armor shines, it could be their boss or something.
"You didn't read the system message! It is forbidden to unilaterally attack even demons around here! If you want to fight, offer a proper PvP..."
I was surprised.
Based on the content of the story, it sounds like a player, not a knight.
The knight of the NPC can't say what a system message looks like or what a PVP looks like.
But that outfit is weird for just a player.
Also, knights working in tents and knights simmering soup in a large pot look closer together.
What if he was a player, but joined the NPC's power bracket?
Impossible.
Anyway, I just made an agreement with a mysterious woman named Rae.
I know that something called a player has a lot more guys than Bumb could have imagined.
Anyway, thanks to the knight lady players and the NPC knights around them, who calmed down the excited players, the bamboos were able to head to the event venue.
A little tent passed through town, and Gaslak was baptizing the knight.
That's probably what Rae was instructing me to do, but it's really player-smelling behavior. No one suspects this gas lark is NPC.
At the same time, he has succeeded in keeping his consciousness from turning to the bump where he hid himself in a food tunic.
If there were a player with a fine body like Gaslaak, there would be many things to think about for other players.
If Gaslark is better than Bumb, I don't think any player on this scene can win. If such a person had slept in the wild.
"... I didn't know there was such a strong demon player"
"... hey, isn't he" Blanc "something?
"─ You're number one in the last invasion! I see..."
It doesn't sound good, but it looks like the players are whispering rumors about passing bamboos.
All of that gaze is fixed to the gas lake.
I lose my mind on Rare's support at all. I've often thought this far and made arrangements.
When the female knight confirmed that no one was going to attack the bumbs, she began walking towards the tent a little further away.
Looking at the back without saying anything, there was a bright blonde hair ahead of him as he walked.
Rare.
I'm blindfolded pretty far up, but I could see Rae nodding lightly to see if I noticed this one's gaze.
Bamboo nodded back and went down the stairs to the basement, the entrance to the event venue.
