Golden Experience

Episode 242: Smile

"Your husband. We have roughly completed our intermediate dispatch to major cities around the country."

"There's nothing wrong with regular contact."

"The merchant vampires used the money they gave in advance to buy the store and prepared a safe house to be sure."

Azarea and the others are reporting.

An intermediate is a pedestrian sent to a larger city in every part of Shape. Naturally they are all vampires.

When Azareas became vampires, they were able to acquire Bran's similar "mission", although it was an undead exclusive. They used it to bring the merchants closer together.

Altogether, Bran could have "served," but Bran couldn't get in touch with all of them alone, so he decided to leave them all to the Ristrugones.

Of course, even if you say you'll be in touch, you can't really use friendly chat with NPC.

I had Azarea and the others prepare a report in advance, and Azarea contacted me by peeking at the person's vision at a certain time.

That's what Magenta said about regular contact.

Conversely, if there is a notification from us, we will take over the whole body and make a written discussion.

This is the way Blanc came up with it watching SNS.

"It's going well. Can you start a store or something already?

"No, there are not many products and there are no purchasing routes, so just..."

"The funds also seem to have been spent quite a bit when purchasing stores, so I was wondering if working capital would be needed separately..."

Unlike Rae and Lyla, Blanc's forces are not performing decent economic activities.

Thus when it comes to the funds in hand, it is only the property recovered from the houses when the entire city was destroyed, and naturally lost if used.

And in time, the merchant vampires already have all the money they can hold, and there's hardly any left.

If they have been used locally to secure the store, or activity hub, they will need to procure a new one from somewhere.

"Do you need a precursor... I don't like this. Hmmm......"

"In the meantime, do you want a local pedestrian vampire to attack the best merchants in the city?

"But Azalea, the big chamber of commerce is stiff, and it might be more difficult to secretly put it under control. If we make a scene, we'll have an impact on later activities."

"So does Magenta have any good ideas, too?

That's ─ ─

Merchant vampires also have 'servants'.

However, because they are still junior vampires, the characters they relate to become zombies. We need to shake a little more experience to make vampire subordinations so they don't get suspicious.

It's a pain in the ass to make a fuss before you actually take action again, even if you're forced to be on guard. We need to be as quiet as we can, even if we rule the merchants who seem to have the money.

"Then what about this?"

Carmine said confidently.

You're always concerned that Azalea is getting you ahead of you, and lately you're getting more opinions from a slightly different angle.

"It is not the big shop chambers that dominate merchant vampires, but the bosses of criminal organizations and slum dwellers. If it's a insecure place, such as a slum, it's known where there's been some noise. And then the Outlaws who" go on mission "raise the INT and make it smarter. Use them wisely, scam big stores, and take away their property.

If you fail, you have no choice but to shift the master of the Chamber of Commerce in the direction of "serving."

This is a very attractive proposal.

If Bran is going to fight the Rares shoulder to shoulder, maybe he should try something called a leap.

I always thought so, but Bran couldn't come up with a good idea in his head.

Ruling these gangs in the city and working fraud against the Big Chamber opponents is something that Lila is likely to do.

Because of that suggestion, I decided to leave this matter to Carmine.

That said, Carmine is not the only one who actually "operates" interlocutors around the world.

It was therefore decided to hit Carmine as the project leader with three Rice Trugones.

First, let the pedestrian vampire pretend he's not used to the city yet, and let him go to a subtle, insecure area.

Let the chimps involved there take the whole purse.

Even though there is little money left, it is a lot of money to make it a city chimp.

Even if your dick is a lone wolf, if you have such a large amount of money, you will always be sniffed by some kind of criminal organization.

If the chimp was originally involved in a criminal organization, it should always be paid to the organization.

Either way, we can track down the thugs who took the gold and find the criminal organization.

That's how you kill the leader of the organization you find and 'serve' the body.

For this last process, Azarea and the executive ranks were carried out immediately.

That's because it's cheaper than giving a merchant vampire experience.

As we repeated this in cities everywhere, criminal organizations that gradually spread to the shapes became mostly under Blanc's control.

I solved the natural and financial problems in the process, but because of this, I decided to let the Mafia scam as a normal business.

"Now you're doing well."

"Yes, you can start a shop."

"Oh, that's nice!

"Well, the store's not the point."

"It was!

Bran's aim is to dominate the shape.

It's not about doing business.

Nevertheless, the society behind the country's major cities is already in Blanc's hands.

If you are concerned, it is easy to attack and destroy cities everywhere right now, and in fact the life of the shape is in hand.

Even here in King's Landing.

The Blancs were now at their home base, the largest crime syndicate in the King's capital.

There were more than one criminal organization in King Shape Capital, but all the top of the organization are under Bran's command.

However, the general constituents have not been informed of that.

Regular members struggle with other organizations in search of territory on a daily basis, but do not recognize that they share the same head.

"Something's amazing, isn't it? Don't come in so much money. This. Experience, too.

Crime is profitable. I know it won't go away from the world. "

"There are expenses for that, too."

And manpower, too.

"It just looks that way because of the size of the business. The profits are enormous.

Um, master?

"Huh?... Oh! Well done, Carmine! You're in good hands!

"No, of course not."

Carmine swelled her nose and replied well.

Initially, Blanc intended to put all the gangs that make up the criminal organization under control.

But some of the gangs were pretty mixed up that weren't dwarves.

When Carmine, the project leader who noticed it, was uncomfortable and made junior vampires look into non-Dwarf constituents, there were indications that he was using something that looked like an inventory. In other words, it turns out to be a player.

If you think about it, not all of the players are integrated into NPC's human society, working as mercenaries, or as craftsmen or merchants.

Naturally some people will find such engagement with others cumbersome, and when it comes to those people, and what about players like you who didn't choose any more demonic players, you can only be a burglar or bandit.

It is a street gang in the streets.

For this reason, "missions" were reserved for the boss of the organization and the characters in its vicinity, and if there was little chance of being a player, they were killed immediately.

Even if you 'serve' while you're alive anyway, it doesn't change the outcome after you die and then revive it as undead and then 'serve' it.

The suspicious one kills and waits awhile, and if the body is going to disappear, it's the player.

NPC can only be a weak zombie if it undead more than an hour after death, and it loses its lifetime memory.

It would be troublesome if we had to wait that long, but we didn't have to. Because if you're a player, you mostly squirrel without waiting five minutes. It was easy to discern.

In other words, the best way to tell if you're a player was to try to kill them for now.

I once chatted with Rae about the difficulty of discerning players. I'm sure you'd be happy to teach me this.

Also, if you kill a suspected gang of players, you decided to fight under the guise of suspicion.

Bran dominates only the upper levels of each organization, and the lower levels of the organization remain in a territorial struggle to naturally articulate the struggle.

"You're getting a steady list of thinkers."

"Could these methods be applied to Rare or Lyla's dominance?"

"Yeah, yeah. There aren't many cases where I can give those two information, so this is going to surprise you at the next tea party."

If you are alert to very common combat players, you can monitor the mercenaries in general, so it is easy to understand.

But it's hard to discern merchants, craftsmen who integrate into society, and in a sense, outlaws, criminals, etc. who are one of the social landscapes, are players.

In such cases, it is quick to kill them first.

It's taken me days to get there, and the Archangel event is almost over.

Later, though, this country would have fallen already, as long as it had taken control by force of even the places that hit the day, like around the royal castle.

A perfect meal of fruit tart - a delicacy made from plenty of fruit taken from the Oral and served on gold to the best confectioners in the Shape King's capital. Lila's preferred handmade, but the confectioner's got a buff when she ate it - she was cheeky - and suddenly opened the door of Bran's office to smash, and a tough guy rolled in.

Mr. Blanc! Dear Magenta! "

"Huh? What? Who?"

"Ah, this is my subordinate. ─ ─ Something's wrong! It's rude!"

"I'm sorry, too! But there are strange ones in my shema...!

The Shape King capital is huge.

The gangs are dividing and ruling the society behind that broad king's capital. Only some of them know the most about it, and the majority of the gangs are desperately fighting over territory.

One of those split gang territories is Shima, a tough man under Magenta says.

Apparently, a suspicious pair of people have been raiding there.

In fact, not long ago, both groups that were supposed to be fighting had been destroyed.

We had received reports from junior vampires of lispawned relatives that two strange men had broken in, but we didn't even know who they were.

Given the small number of people in pairs, it is difficult to think of government.

But I don't think anyone would attack the Mafia if it wasn't for security purposes.

Perhaps the two men who attacked this time are the same as the two who have spoiled the war.

"Strange guys, that's not specific. Make sure you report it properly. In front of your husband?

"I beg your pardon! Uh, one was wearing a design I've never seen, probably a leather top or bottom, and the other one was that..."

"What is it?

"The other one is the cook."

Azarea and the others didn't look good about Bran going directly to the scene, but Shape also came with the meaning of training. Eating cake in the office is not usually called training.

When I came to see a tough guy, he was still in the middle of a praise review.

Considering that a tough man came to the report after the raid and listened to the report and Bran and the others came here, it's been quite some time. It can be said that the men of the harsh men have endured a lot.

No, it's strange that only two people would attack the gang in the first place. Is it a suspicious couple who are working hard in this case?

"Is that the pair? You're fighting with a knife and a frying pan... It's definitely cock. And you look a lot taller. Is it because I'm a dwarf around? You're a tall cock..."

And the other was Hideo. He is an example transformative hero.

I didn't think it was that strong when I met you before, but can you really be a gangster in the city?

It's been almost a week since then. Or maybe he grew up earning experience somewhere.

"That's enough. Tough uncle. Lower your men. It's a waste of talent. We'll clean up the rest."

"It's easy.... ─ ─ Hey! Back off! They'll get your ass here! Thank you, Ola!

The tough man took his men back.

Later Blanc and the three Azaleas, then Hideo and Cock were left behind.

"─ ─ You! That sword! That was a vampire! Where did you send Dr. Stanislav?

Bran is wearing a red robe the other day. I don't think I can see his face, but he saw Rare's big sword and decided just in case.

But Blanc is a vampire, a fact that cannot be understood from the last encounter alone.

Where did the information come from?

"Seems like you're trying to rule this city from the back with dark forces, but I won't let that happen!

I saw the Azareas, but they shook their necks slightly.

I don't see any information leaking that this one is a vampire.

"─ What grounds are you saying I'm a vampire?

"That voice! You, you were a woman!

"Rude! Watch your mouth! Answer the question!

Carmine raged and yelled Hideo.

The atmosphere is the only perfectly cool female executive, but the blanc I was asking was going to be more confused whether to keep your mouth shut or answer questions.

"When you're about me, you can easily deduce that from your outfits!

"Besides, some of the gangs in this city seem to be turning into vampires. I was supposed to make it ground meat, but the next day, there was someone who would live."

Hydeo simply speculated from Blanc's outfit.

Not now, but when I met Hideo before, I did wear a piece of a noble man that the Count gave me. It might have been vampires.

On the other hand, what this cock says is quite frightening.

It's just that the gang is resurrected because it's the Azarea's family, and it doesn't matter at all whether they're vampires or not.

But in this outfit, they said they grabbed the knife and turned it into ground meat.

I'm afraid I won't be able to eat hamburgers in the future.

─ ─ Being close to Hideo means this cock is a player, too, but I wonder why some crazy guy is just a player like this.

"Well, if you're finding out, you can't help it. But when I found out we were vampires, it didn't change anything. Azalea! Magenta! Carmine! I did it!

"Yes, sir. Summon: Lower Vampire

The Azareas summoned the vampires under their command and hit Hydeo and Cook.

The battle has begun.

"Hey!

"I got this one, Hideo! Transform faster than that!

"Oh!"

It seems that the cook is called a towel.

I'd like to take a closer look at it in "Appraisal," but Rae and Lyla have cautioned me to be cautious about "Appraisal" against players.

I have no choice but to go astray, but now I have no chance of doing so.

"Come on! Don't think you can beat me in Kitchen!

I wonder what this guy is talking about. Where is the kitchen?

This is one of the headquarters of the gang under Bran, and is ostensibly a liquor store.

Of course, the kitchen will be somewhere in the building, but at least not where the towels are rampaging right now.

Looking at such a thing, a knife suddenly appeared on both hands of the towel.

The frying pan I held in one hand just now has disappeared somewhere.

"What the..."

"First, chop it up!

Tool cleverly takes the knife of both hands and chops and chops the vampires one after the other.

Nevertheless, it is a knife.

The vampires are just as defensive, not to mention inferior, than the raw meat of the ingredients. Naturally the knife spills quickly and becomes unusable.

But every time, Tor shouts "kitchen" and "minced", and summons a new knife in his hand.

"... Is it a skill or something to summon a knife? And the activated word is not minced in the kitchen or anything."

"Hmmm...... no, seriously, you don't know. What the hell is that?"

"Let's go, 'kitchen'! Next thing you know, we're gonna braise the horns! When you call yourself a vampire, you can't be brought back to life!

The next time Toor screams, a huge lidded pot appears instead of a knife.

Tor blew a chopped vampire into a pan and began to heat it with fire that appeared from nowhere.

It smells pretty good there, but this is a nasty one considering the ingredients. If you sniff it, you may throw up later.

"'Shadowlance'!" Blaze Lance "!

Bran emitted magic in the middle of the reflection.

Tor tried to keep the burning spear out of the giant pan, but a spear of invisible shadows pierced his flank a moment ago.

Keep your consciousness focused on the conspicuous' Fire Magic 'and secretly hit' Dark Magic '.

This is the method of warfare that came to mind from the magical simultaneous shooting that took place with Lyla in the Battle of the Archangels.

In such a shadowy place, such as the interior of a building, it is probably unavoidable.

"Guo!? Then don't be stupid!

And the moment you lose your posture, 'Blaze Lance' hits you straight, sharpening your LP a lot.

It is Bran's magical attack, which also damaged the archangel, the reid boss. A cock that uses mysterious skills is not something that is so bearable.

"Todome--" Lightning Strike "!

"Wow! I've never lost in the kitchen ─ ─"

Toor finally abandoned his dialogue with guts and disappeared into light. He was still a player.

"─ Sometimes the unintelligible show up..."

It was a fake cook, but it's amazing how easy it was to defeat a junior vampire and withstand Bran's magic attacks twice.

Caution should be exercised if players who have difficulty discerning if they are such irony or bees will continue to show up in the future.

Whatever Rae, Lyla, or Blanc is, it's hard to be sufficiently vigilant at first sight in those serious azaleas who are only kidding.

"Hey! Fucking vampires!

Hideo had finished his transformation at some point and was battling junior vampires.

The cook distracted me and missed the transformation scene.

"Is he the only one left?

"Yes, there have only been two of us since the beginning."

In that case, it won't be a problem even if it can be slightly removed.

Blanc put his back sword to the ground and threw off the red robe he was wearing.

The robe falls backwards fluttering. I had a very cool performance. The results of the training are shown.

The sword and robe were recovered by Azarea and Magenta.

"Alright, then... 'Transformation'"

I whispered that it would be troublesome for other players to hear the activation word from Hydeo, who knows perverts very well.

Transformation, if only to say, most characters would consider it a 'transformation' of another skill, but not necessarily this Hideo alone. Instead, if Hideo doesn't know the 'Transformation' skill, he should associate the 'pervert' one.

In that case, you will be suspected of changing the activation word. Changing the activation word itself is probably possible for the NPC, but because it was updated at the start of the official service, it is unnatural to know it even if it was possible for the NPC. And Rare said.

Bran's body is boosted by the activation of "Pervert", and armor like armor breaks through his clothes from the inside.

A knight emerges wearing a biologically designed full-body armor with a glossy white tone and black armor by the way.

"─ ─ I can finally test this form of performance."

"Ki, you! The way it looks, it's not Dr. Stanislav's!

"Exactly. He was happy to help."

"Don't bullshit me! I guess you guys forced me to do it!

I don't know if I was forced to.

It's true that Dwarves named Stanislav are controlled by Rare, but it seems like they were willing to cooperate, whether they were family members or not. Depending on how he sees it, Rare gave him the lab, budget, and materials as much as he liked.

"This kind of thing, I guess, was a disagreement or something. Well, no. Then one thing to my validation...... let me have it with you!

Kick the ground and head to Hideo.

Bran is certainly a player who has built magic, but recently he has also shaken AGI and STR. The VIT went up on its own, so I left it there.

I am worried about DEX, but Rare and Lyla also said that it is not necessary because DEX's hit correction can be covered by technology for melee attacks. That's why I didn't shake it so much. Blanc also didn't have the skills to use DEX for judgment.

Hideo could barely react to Bran's movements, which could be described as quasi-disastrous, and a blow just waved down his arm went right into his shoulder.

This is also advice from Rae, but if he's not used to fighting, he's more certain to swing his arms and legs around and hit his opponent than to poke him with his fist, and he's at a lower risk of injury. At that time, brittle ends like fingertips need to be protected by gripping them in, but now they are all covered with armor.

Originally, they only have the effect of flickering the opponent, but if done with Bran's talent, it can be a fine and threatening attack.

Bran also acquired "bare hands", so even if he normally held his fist and threw a poke, he would not have been injured by system support, but just in case.

You should get used to such attacks.

Blanc's swing shattered Hydeo's shoulder crust with a single blow, dealing huge damage.

"Ugh! What is this power...!

"... oh, so powerful... I'm not sure if you're just weak. All right, now it's your turn. Try attacking me for a second."

"* giggle *... damn it, don't regret it! Enough!"

Hydeo jumped vertically on the spot to shake off his shoulder pain and released a drop kick to Blanc.

Hideo's legs hit Bran's chest directly and the heavy noise of hard metal colliding with each other echoed.

However, although there was a shock, Bran didn't take any damage.

"Bye, stupid...!

Thanks to properties like "armor" and "crust" as well as elevated VIT.

Hideo's stats and abilities do not damage the current Blanc.

"Huh. What's the matter with you? Try harder and make me smile."

"You......!

Hideo stares at a blanc of attitude that can be described as arrogance.

"... aren't you smiling already?

"... if you're not smiling, heh, what the hell..."

I don't care about the Azarea coming in from behind.

Even though Hideo repeatedly attacks, nothing works for Blanc as one.

It's like just before a power-up, an irrationally powerful enemy phantom appeared.

I let it stay that way for a while, but there are no particular signs of change in the situation. Being cornered and empowered, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"I guess it's time. In the meantime, you've become one indicator of the performance of this flesh. Perhaps the same enhancement was applied by that dwarf, so if you're going to have this one-sided advantage over you, just say enough for one second."

Not exactly the same reinforcement given the material used, but the same direction.

"Doctor......! Really, you've sold your soul to an evil organization......!

"I wonder what it is. You should forget about that guy, too, and find a new partner. Oh, could that have been the case with that cock earlier?

Maybe that cock runs a coffee shop or a snack somewhere.

No, or is he a champion too? I didn't seem to have transformed.

"I don't know if I'll ever see you again, but I'll see you for now. And say hello to Cock just now." Hellflame ""

Blanc activated magic around himself, burning down Hydeo without any damage from his shoulders.

Performance priority, self-inflicted damage ready performance, but little damage was done to Bran.

It seems that VIT is much higher than INT, and it was not damaged by the resistance of Mythrill and Adamas.

If we continue to strengthen in this direction, we may be able to establish a one-of-a-kind style of combat in which even a suicide bomber is safe.

It's another different direction from the Rares, which are more killer builds in one way or another.

"Is this what I should aim for? Let's think about a lot."

"I don't recommend self-inflicted attacks, but I'm in favor of boosting defenses"

Bran's hopes prompted the Azareans, who were looking backwards, to approach with robes and kenzaki.

"For now, only those two people have been raiding, so this will solve the problem."

"Sorry to bother you...... I'm sorry."

Carmine brought in a tough man earlier.

Just one. I don't have any of my men's chimps. I guess Carmine got me distracted and drove me somewhere.

His men could have a mix of players.

Rare just pisses me off when an unspecified number of players see this figure.

Bran was able to defeat Hydeo and the others by dealing with them individually this time.

But even though it's not a big deal, Hydeo and Toor are also players. If the opponent is also a player, the burden is heavy on a little violent chimpanzees and freshly reborn junior vampires.

"Oh, if any of those arrangements show up, will you call us soon after, or Odishan's men pre, uh, what's with the vault? You'd better hit someone."

"─ Well, the guys in the vault don't have to be their family to die. I understand."

Neither one of his subordinates is certain that a normal living dick is a player.

But once he kills and puts him on the list, the chimp is definitely a player. It is difficult to have a subordinate who is not a player but it is easy to have a subordinate who is a player.

Perhaps it would be better to shake some more experience with the junior vampires who are also part of the family.

This raid by Hideos was only as threatening as it could have been until Bran's arrival, but it is not always the case.

"All right, then let's go home and have a tart!

"... what happened to the war?"

"... I've taught the underworld, and I think it's okay for now."

"... hehe, so far, I'm the # 1 Medal of Merit"

"I hear you. Yo! Well, I'm in a state where I can always do it, and I'm not an example Stanislav, but Dwarf doesn't know what he's hiding, and he said if we're going to fight, we should build up some more power over here before we do. You don't have to fight it to weaken your opponent. I learned from watching Lyla!

If we're going to fight, we need more experience. At the very least, I want a rare stat at the time of the previous event.

And if you're going to weaken your opponent without fighting, you need to master the economy more.

Either the gangs under Bran or the decent aristocrats and royalties still need money to eat.

But on this continent, where economic activity between nations is scarce, there is little understanding of the value of currency, and it was said that it is rare or lila.

In shapes with lots of craftsmen and lots of mines, taxes are commonly paid in gold, but there is not a city that collects in kind, such as food, like in rural areas. Such things also seem to be contributing to the lessening of currencies.

Even in such cities, it is not mandatory to pay with food, but it is possible to pay taxes either way. It seems that they are simply paying in kind because the holdings of gold coins themselves are low in agricultural cities.

Using the economic power and violence of criminal organisations as backbone, the takeover of domestic front chambers of commerce will be pursued in the future, buying up crops in such agricultural cities with gold coins and developing them economically. We would all be happy to sell if the buyout amount were set higher than paying the crop as a tax.

As a result, most of the tax will be paid in gold, but at that point nobody else is in trouble. Even to the state and aristocracy, the food originally paid as taxes is redeemed by selling it to merchants. It only saves me time.

But what happens if, after that happens, for example, all the fields throughout the country have been burned down?

There is no stockpile of food and there may be gold at hand, but there is nowhere in the market to buy anything. Yes, except for the Chamber of Commerce under Bran.

Blanc is well aware of the anguish of hunger. It is the junior vampires of the subordinates who know exactly, but those of the subordinates belong to Blanc.

And on the border side with neighboring Oral, Lyla's bandits are trekking, and it is very hard to say that Pairee and I are close due to the effects of the previous event.

If so, no matter how expensive, the state has no choice but to buy food from Blanc's breathtaking Chamber of Commerce.

I don't know about the people, but the royal nobility shouldn't have threads on the gold if it's to eat.

Ultimately, long live the artifact in exchange for food.

"Name it and sell the artifact if you don't have bread!

"... does it work that well?"

"... if they lumped food into the vault and smuggled it, it wouldn't be a bankrupt operation at once."
