Golden Experience

The settlements that feed and pacify are dangerous places that are constantly exposed to the threat of monsters.

As a result, the weapon is severely depleted and must be purchased on a regular basis.

When they showed me the monster material they had, it looked like some animal fangs and leather. The leather has already been tanned.

"This is pig leather and fangs. Fangs become knives when sharpened, and leather becomes an armor material. Heat resistant and tough."

Is it like an oak when it comes to pigs?

I didn't see it in the middle of the continent, but is the oak breeding in this continent?

"Hmm. I'm sorry for being such an amateur, but I don't think we need to buy this fang as a weapon."

"No. It's too short. Even if you stick it to a stick of wood and make a reach, it's not easy to use because it's bent. In that case, you should sell your teeth and buy a weapon that's easy to use from the beginning."

It would mean cutting down on the training costs and maintaining combat power faster.

It's a really rational system.

And at the same time, perhaps it's an environment where people die more easily than the professor thinks. If a warrior has a shorter lifespan, he dies before he recovers the cost of his education, he has to use tools to make it more efficient.

"Looks like a pretty harsh environment."

"... okay"

"... oh, I see."

While the professor was listening to them, Yoichi and Saskatchewan stared at each other in silence.

I was perhaps worried about that kind of relationship, but apparently I was consulting on a friend chat.

"Mr. Feed, Mr. Pasi. We've actually traveled across the continent to train samurai.

Tomorrow, when the feeders finish the deal and return to the settlement, will you take us with you? I won't bother you. At the very least, I'm willing to defend myself. "

I always thought it was soft and difficult to stay in the Central Continent, but it seemed to have a splendid purpose.

Martial arts training is a clever way to put it, but in short, you'll earn experience.

Grow more efficiently by putting yourself in a harsher environment.

"That's good. All right, let me come with you. I am interested in the culture of the feeders."

"Hey, you, I'm not going to play games."

Play is play, and player is a player.

However, players do play the game, but there are two kinds of races: those who play the game with a sense of play, and those who play seriously because of this game.

That's what Saskatchewan wants to say. However, I don't think the professor is the same player there.

But even if you're a professor, you're not saying it in half the play.

The professor has a purpose, and he's trying to do everything he can to do it. I am still playing seriously as a professor.

"You know from what I'm saying, it's not a sweet environment enough to survive with that kind of strength. I won't say anything bad. Don't do that. If you die, it's over."

"I know that if you die, it's over. I also have a mission to fulfil.

As you know, the Central Continent is now beset by an unprecedented catastrophe. I don't know when I'll be exposed to the same environment as this continent.

In that case, it is necessary to take measures beforehand with the wisdom of the ancestors before this happens. That's my mission as a scholar. "

The second half is a bluff.

It is Magnum who is sympathetic to the unfortunate disaster.

"... your determination seems to be strong."

Well... I thought it was a friendship of my hometown. Can you take care of me while I train here? I don't know what Musha is. "

"It's not like I'm in my hometown in a real sense. Ah, I can't help it. Disasters on the continent are not our responsibility, so I'll take care of them for a while.... but is there a samurai?"

I have no doubt at all. What an honest player compared to Lyla. Again, this is the way to negotiate.

The next day, the bait and paci met at the end of the deal and left town.

I've already contacted Gustav and the others.

There was a strong interest in settlements outside the town, but their role is first to take control of the town.

If we build Bridge Head Guard here, we can investigate the continent at any time. There is no need to bother asking for the cooperation of the local people. If you're concerned about the settlement, you can go find it with your strength. They can do it.

Pretending to be weak and gathering persistent information is good for someone like a professor who is not good at fighting.

Yoichi and Saskatchewan had horses brought from the Central Continent, and the feed and pacifiers were used around the continent to bring birds like a two-legged duck.

According to a secret "appraisal", the species is an Arkeolaptor. It's a creature in the middle of a bird and a dinosaur that doesn't exist in real life.

It is problematic that four people ride and only the professor walks.

It doesn't mean you don't like walking alone, and it's not welcome to see a difference in march speeds within the unit, and it's not desirable for professors to literally pull their feet for food and pacification.

There is also a high risk of riding in unknown lands where we don't know when to get involved in combat.

Even in towns, Arceolaptops are often used to carry luggage and move around. Although temperament seems rougher than that of a horse, sometimes it is easier to handle than a horse because the whole head is covered with a thick cloth that blocks vision and hearing. That's why it's sold normally in this town.

The professor also decided to buy one of these.

I was worried that amateur scholars would suddenly be able to deal with monsters I didn't know, but I subtly "used" them while appropriately saying that I had the "riding" skill.

"... how about it, how about it? What a cute thing to do. All right, your name is Albert. Let's go."

Not to mention the desert, but the dry sand runs down the windy streets.

Even though it is a street, it is not as easy to understand as the central continent, and it is just about the extent that it can be used as a road because there is nothing.

The professor can't see the way at all, but the feed and pacifier seem to know where to go, and they let the birds go without hesitation.

Yoichi and his professors will have to keep up with it.

Sometimes the feeders stopped the party and looked around quietly.

He seemed to be alert to the monsters around him, but there was nothing in the professor's "true eye", and the yogis were shrugging their necks.

Does it have the ability to sense anything other than vision? According to "Appraisal", I don't seem to have such a strange skill, but is it due to the rules of experience?

So several times, whether it's a crisis or not, we did something, and after a long time, the professors finally got to a place that looked like a destination.

It was like a hole in the ground surrounded by big rocks.

With dead trees and rocks scattered around, it will be difficult to find this hole without knowing where it is.

The hole seems to be like a tunnel, and it doesn't feel like the surroundings are buoyant because of the cave.

The line approaches the hole, but there is a very unpleasant smell around the hole.

Honestly enough to be discouraged from entering. I feel sick just being here.

I checked my condition and found that I was slightly intoxicated. The professor has never been drunk, but is he so sick? If so, why do people consume alcohol?

The others don't seem to feel anything in particular, but what does that mean?

"I'm going underground from here. There are pigs and big scorpions around here, but the rocks are crushed and rubbed with herbs that smell like pigs. Pigs don't come in through the hole."

It's not just pigs.

The fact that they are beasts and human beings is that they are fine is probably because the professor is not a human species. In other words, Tanuki, the ultimate cuteness in modesty, has also been damaged.

"... a pig, anyway, is a big scorpion okay?"

"It's okay. Big scorpions, as the name suggests, are huge. Even a toddler can't get into this hole."

The continent still seems to be a terrible place when there are monsters so enormous that even children can't get into this hole.

"Hey, are you okay? You look pale."

"... oh, sorry for the worry. Hey, I think I'm drunk on the back of an unfamiliar bird. Horses don't work like this."

I don't know if it's true because I've never been on a horse before, but it's unnatural if you don't tell me anything more than having a 'riding'.

In fact, this arceolaptop shakes more than horses or nilcones. It must be because of the small number of feet. I can't help it because it looks like an ostrich covered in duck skin.

Are you not feeling well? You want to take a break?

"No, it's okay. Let's move on. If you go a little further, you'll get used to it."

I'm sorry to die at a break like this.

The medicinal herbs and herbs only appeared to be painted around the entrance, and the illness subsided when they entered the cave.

Given the supply of air in the cave, it is not surprising that the interior space is also full of smells, but that seems unlikely.

It doesn't feel like there's air in the cave, and perhaps there are air holes in various places.

The cave lasted surprisingly long, and the ground was leveled again.

Rather than being something that is not natural, they are developing and using something that is natural.

I was told that pigs and scorpions were wandering around, and I wonder if it's wisdom to move safely.

On the way, I decided to spend the night in the cave for too long.

Depending on the professor's condition, he would have done this near the entrance.

I'm glad I didn't have to.

I continued walking quite a distance the next day and walked through the cave.

To be honest, the professor's food was problematic because he didn't expect to spend so much time with others.

The inventory is stockpiled for a few weeks, but we can't take it out in front of the yogis. Now that we don't know what we're going to do on this continent, it's better to think of it as an NPC than as a player.

So I decided to buy food from the yogis.

They were not aware of the professor's troubles and were dignified to take the food out of the inventory and eat it, so they paid the gold coins to give it away.

They didn't seem to have any trouble with the gold and offered food for free, but the professor refused.

If you create a strange debt, you may add a touch of effort at some point. Even professors who are usually said to be con artists have such common sense.

With all this, the party took even longer to finally reach a destination.

It feels like a long time ago that I mistook the entrance to the cave for my destination.

The true destination, the feed and paci settlements, were the stretches of the underground caves, which were still underground.

But it's not just underground.

The end of the cave was like a cliff, with a view beyond it that I had never seen before. In a sense, this is a sight that can only be seen in the game.

Too much space to call the underground cavity. You can't even see the other end of the line in a dim, blurred vision.

Like a stalactite or something, there are columns stretching from top to bottom to penetrate the space. Is this what supports the ceiling?

Looking at the brightness, countless lights were blurry on the pillars and ceilings.

Looking at the nearest pillar, it seems that the moss is emitting light.

When I tried the "appraisal", it came out sparkly.

Reality shines on its own, not just by reflecting light in lens-like cells. In other words, this glittering mushroom is a game-specific fantasy. In fact, luminescent plants have not been discovered in nature in the first place. I've heard of fungi.

In the center is a thick pillar, and light stretches like a belt from all over the pillar.

This light is obviously different from the glitter, but what is shining? I can't see far from here.

In front of a line that loses its words to a scene that is too far away from reality, feed said, turning his back on the underground city that spreads under his eyes.

"Welcome. To Kera Malefix, Underground Kingdom. We welcome you, my friends of mankind."
