Level Up

“I got it!”

Larry's shout comes through the door, and Carlson gets up on his feet.

I didn't even have to ask what I found out. If Larry finds out in all that excitement right now, that's all he's got.

“So what the hell is that? ”

“It really was a nutritional supplement. But it's kind of special. ”

“Special nutrition? ”

“Improves all of your body's abilities. ”

Carlson frowns. It didn't seem like such a big deal.

“A drug that temporarily improves all human abilities. I think…… it will be distributed through the black market. It's going to be hard to get permission. ”

“What exactly does it mean to enhance all human abilities? ”

“Your eyesight is about twice as good. ”

“Vision?”

“And your hearing is about twice as good. All the senses are twice as sensitive. ”

“That's very unusual. ”

“Yes, and a slight improvement in strength. Each person has a slightly different effect, which seems to be about five percent. ”

“5%... Clumsy. ”

“Yes, it also improves endurance. The same goes for stamina. That's about 10 percent, I think. ”

Carlson stares at Larry in a daze. Who wouldn't buy that if they improved their stats just because they took one medicine?

“Critically, it has a huge impact on your energy. ”

“What's the duration? ”

“About an hour. ”

“I can't sell it without it. ”

Perhaps if there were drugs like that in a world without dungeons, they would have been sold for fraud.

But it's not that kind of world now.

It is a world where dungeons and players live with beings that are outside the specifications of the world.

Lexton Energy is one of those companies that makes money off of things that are out of specification.

So maybe the speed at which the world accepts that Ferrain Eggs is beyond imagination.

“Figure it out.”

“Yes?”

“How to make Ferrain Eggs. Figure it out.”

“Oh, yeah. We're still investigating. But as I said before, these guys are incredibly secure. ”

“What happened to the black market they said was open? ”

“It should be open soon. We're promoting a lot right now. ”

“First... I'll have to harpoon it from there." ”

“I'll prepare in secret. ”

Carlson nods and shakes his hand.

“Yes, prepare yourself. ”

Larry steps outside, Carson grips his fist with an impression.

“Shit. Things keep getting worse. ”

Where the hell is Michael doing?

If you're not going to be able to come in person, you might as well throw in something useful, information, or talent.

Carlson sighs, leaning against the back of the chair, and presses his finger against his temples.

It seemed to come with a migraine because things got complicated.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocks on the door. Carlson looks at the door with a curious look.

At this time, no one would come looking for him. It's because I told Larry not to let anyone else come.

Who is it?

If someone had come, the secretarial office would have called first. But without that call, I heard a knock, and I had a strange thought.

“May I come in? I'm not a suspicious person. ”

Carlson frowns at the voice coming from outside the door. But then he nodded and said,

“Come in.”

If the opposing Pokémon wants to harm themselves, it doesn't mean that they won't come in, and if they're good at it, it won't help to stop them.

Carlson became increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that he was not a player.

"Will you tell Michael how to Awaken the Player?" I think there's a way to make a player even if there's no potential……. ’

When Carlson thought about it, the door opened. And then a black guy walks in.

“Michael sent me. ”

“Michael! Where is Michael now?" ”

Carson was reflexive to the word Michael. It was Michael, after all. How could he have predicted this and sent people?

He must have brought something important.

“Michael is looking over Africa right now. ”

“Hnng. Africa.... ”

It's been years since I've been running around Asia. But now Africa.

I'm sure this will take years. ’

Carlson suddenly got a strange feeling from this black guy. In the meantime, I've come across a lot of strong players, including Michael.

“You're an excellent player, aren't you? Did Michael help you?”

The man laughed.

“Yes, Michael is my savior. He saved my life, and he gave me this strength. He's like a god to me. ”

“God... Anyway, welcome. Talent is always welcome. More than that... Did Michael ask you to deliver anything? ”

“I do.”

The man said so, and put his hand in his pocket and took out a small leather pouch.

It was a leather bag the size of an adult fist, and the entrance was sealed with a leather strap.

The man put it on the desk in front of Carlson. Then I looked at Carlson and laughed.

“Mayotte.”

Carlson focused on the leather pouch as if he didn't care much for his name.

I could tell by pretending. No, I could have guessed. This must be a sub-space pocket.

What do you think is in here?

Carlson glances at the Mayotte. I thought for a moment if I could open it in front of him.

But it was Mayotte who brought this. And Michael sent me.

Carlson unties the leather strap and opens his pocket.

“Turn it upside down. ”

Looking at the Mayotte, he chuckles.

Carlson flips his pockets. A tremendous amount of stuff spills out, unbelievably large, in this little pocket.

The first thing that stood out was a big crystal ball.

Carlson picks it up and turns around. There is something odd engraved on the inside of the crystal ball.

I don't know how it was carved, but every time I turn it around, it changes its shape.

I put it down and checked the other items.

There was a sword, boots. It was a good artifact to look at. Give it to the players under control. Or keep it and use it at the right time.

There was also a jar of glass. Inside, there was a deep blue liquid.

It was nothing like that to curl Carlson's eyes. It was a bunch of papers.

“This……. ”

Carlson's eyes sparkled. He picked up a bunch of papers and checked them out. His face brightens.

“That's Michael. ”

It was about a new product.

It was also a great prize to keep players in the loop.

In fact, it was an object that I had been studying since the beginning. One of the most important processes was not working properly, so I was struggling.

However, this document describes how to solve this important process.

There were several other small artifact recipes that didn't even come into Carlson's eyes.

Of course, confirming this process did not mean that the goods would come out immediately.

But if we confirm this correctly, the next thing was really a matter of time.

“Finally...! ”

Carlson mumbles as he picks up the jar and looks around at the liquid in it.

This liquid was the key. Where to get this liquid and how to make it was key.

And it was all in this document.

Carlson looks up at Mayotte with a satisfied look on his face.

I liked the sight of Mayotte because I felt good. You're the one who brought me such good news.

“Michael said the crystal orb is very important. ”

“This?”

Carlson's gaze returned to the crystal ball.

Mayotte smiled and said.

“An artifact that can absorb energy for a month and then release it instantly. ”

Carlson's eyes widen.

“Have you tested it? ”

“I've done it myself. A town as big as this one just flew away. ”

Mayotte laughs as she says.

I smiled at Carlson's face. I've only just begun to think of one or two ways to punch those industrial futures.

“Did you say Mayotte? What's the level? ”

Mayotte smiled and replied.

“Level 212.”

Carlson's eyes turned to a flashlight. Mayotte's smile became more intense, confirming Carlson's expression.

Products launched in the future industry hit the US player market.

No, not only for the player market, but also for the general public.

Of course, no side effects, but if you keep taking them, who's left with a permanent improvement in their abilities?

It was a bit expensive, but everyone admitted it. I definitely wanted to save it for that much money.

Ferrin Eggis appears to be a good pill, but if you put it in your mouth, it melts naturally and passes through your esophagus.

And slightly increases all of the body's abilities.

It made me feel like a drug I could never break once.

Of course, it was not a formally filed drug. It was not patented.

Although we are waiting for FDA approval, the probability of approval is close to the bottom.

There is already a forward-looking lobby playing.

And the most powerful Lobby Force of all was, of course, Lexton Energy.

Of course, the future industry does not need to sell it in a normal way. Ferrain Eggis was distributed in bulk through the black market.

and infiltrated every corner of the United States.

Eventually, the FDA will have to approve it. Ferrin Eggs was a perfect drug with no side effects at all.

There was a group of people secretly approaching the New York branch building of the future industry.

“No matter how hard you dig, it really sucks. ”

“That's what we think, and the people at the desk don't think the same way. ”

“That's right. They think we haven't found the right one. ”

“If you don't like it, why don't you ask them to come? ”

“There are spies everywhere but us. Some of them are disguised as office jobs. ”

“Let them find out, then. ”

“They sent us because they're failing all the time. ”

“Phew. So what do you want? ”

“The location of the Ferrine Exhibit Factory. ”

“Does that even know where the factory is? How is that even possible? ”

“The location is coming out of that building. There's actually a room with some kind of factory structure. ”

However, it was known to all children that it was just a disguise.

The amount of ferrain extract on the market was not enough for such a small factory.

“So, what, you want me to go in there and scavenge the paperwork? ”

“No. I just need some important paperwork. There should be a safe. ”

“Either that or we can kidnap someone we know. ”

A man who briefly said the kidnapping as if he had forgotten the candy was moving ahead.

They were a team of five players.

Five players entered the alley next to the Future Industries building.

They climb up the wall. Every time I tapped the wall with my feet, it jumped up several meters.

So they arrived on the roof of the building.

He considers it less convenient to enter through the rooftop.

The plan was based on research on future industrial buildings by those disguised as clerks.

As they climb up to the roof, they head down the stairs. No, I tried.

Someone stands in the way of the entrance of the stairwell.

I couldn't quickly find it because my whole body was black.

“Oh my...... Did you get caught? ”

The five players retreat nervously. I was going to run away when I came along.

If the watchman yells or sends a signal, it's a waste.

But he just stood there.

“What is it?”

“I think that's just a doll. Made of iron.”

“Huh?"

The night vision was quite good, as was everyone else's.

“I can't see very well with all that black paint. These guys aren't fooling around, are they? ”

“The others would have run away in shock. ”

They say so, slowly approaching the entrance of the stairs. I didn't relax, just in case.

When I came close to the black doll standing still, the black doll opened its eyes.

A creepy flash flashes past you once.

The tension of the fight wrapped around the roof.

End of Future Industries
