Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 10: Rats, Tribes and Hunters
"Heh, there's so much to say about a mission."
"Report to Crusade, Capture, and Delivery missions. It seems like there are only a few different playstyles."
Returning to the central control area, we quickly manipulated the terminal and looked at the list of tasks ordered from Amateras.
Even though we are still in the first town and no new fields are being explored in particular, our pioneering Command ships are sending in huge numbers like tsunamis.
Each player can order up to 10 tasks at the same time, so if you get as similar as possible, you can make money wisely.
"Let's focus on Letty's Enemy system. After all, I think it's the right way to be a fighter."
"I'm a bit of a crusader myself, but I don't really want combat power."
"Nevertheless, I don't think you can go to the untapped land if you're struggling with the Enemies of the Beginning Grasslands and the Forest of the Beast.
That's true, too.
I listened honestly to Letty's best advice and decided to develop my combat skills for the time being.
Orders were received for rat and tortoise crusades and for delivering items that resemble those drops. I also received an order for a slightly unusual achievement condition called a recording task.
Well, shall we go?
"Oh, let's do our best."
That's how we left town and went to the Starting Grasslands, where the sun rises.
"Yesterday I passed by during the night, so when I look at the bright spots, I get a different impression."
A thick steel barrier gate surrounding Susanoo opens onto a vast meadow.
There was nothing to see in the dark night, but the spectacle of rich nature can be seen in the light.
"The tall grass is growing. I'm worried I won't be able to take my legs off during the fight."
"As time progresses, it seems that places where people overlap naturally. I can't help it now."
Apart from thin green trees and rocks scattered all over the place, it's almost a flat field.
With your palms closed, you can see a small beast shadow in the distance.
"There are a lot of people near the gate, so why don't we walk a little?"
Avoid the gates, where people are constantly coming and going, and we aim for less popular places.
Although the number of people was high, the field was bigger than that, so it was unlikely that there would be an outbreak of enemy contact.
"That's the rat, right?... isn't it big?
"Big deal."
Letty, who was pinning her ears at her enemies, quickly finds the rat.
As she stared in the direction she pointed, she saw an object wrapped in brown hair from the shadow of the grass.
The problem is its size. Even though it is quite a distance, the shadow has a sense of existence. Probably three soccer balls lined up.
"Well, it's easier to hit than small."
"Ugh, I don't think you'll like it very much."
While taking pictures of mice with the camera raised from his neck, he shouted at Letty with an unexpected expression.
Haha, I don't think that's true of popular rats.
All right, let's hunt.
Put out the camera and put out the spear.
It's Neva's new fangspeare.
When I'm ready, follow me and Letty will have a fanghammer. It's a visual that still looks painful as a spike.
Ah, I'll take the lead.
That said, Letty suddenly starts running.
The mice quickly noticed her presence as she approached with a loud noise. Keep your head up and your ears up.
The moment the mice turned their backs, Letty made a loud noise.
"'Intimidation'! Uhhhhhhhhh!"
The red effect that triggers the technique radiates around her.
The wave swallowed the rat up and stopped running. His eyes are sharp and he is burning.
"Wow. Is that your combat skill?"
Skills that combine a variety of techniques to help combat operations. Its most basic technique, 'Intimidation', has the effect of attracting the enemy's attention by pronunciation.
"Hayaaa!
Letty's hammer was shaken by a flying mouse.
A sharp, pointed head shakes the skull of the mouse.
"Stunned."
Nice.
Stun is one of a number of state abnormalities. Chance to cause a strike weapon like a hammer to hit your head.
Those who become Stunned are deprived of sight and incapacitated.
In other words, a one-sided opportunity to attack.
"'Double Thrust'!
Purchase the cartridge earlier to activate the technique you just learned.
Protruding spear appears blurred and a twin damage effect is blown.
"'Strike' ah!
Letty also slammed both hands at rats who were still stunned.
It is the basic technique of the Cane Magic skill. A powerful blow shatters the bones of a rat.
All right!
Letty's preemptive and punching, my twin punches in my hair, and the rat's HP bar vanished in an instant.
We had some skill levels up in the Beast Forest, and this is what the first field energies would look like.
"I'm bored."
"Thank you."
Sitting on the ground and struggling with Letty to recover the LP I consumed, I walk to the lying rat.
The technique was activated by changing the shape of the “sword” from a fangspear to a large, thick knife.
"'Dismantling'"
Then a red line appeared on the remains of the mice in sight.
I slip the knife to trace the line.
I know Letty's snooping over my shoulder, but I can't interrupt my work.
Continuing to trace the line, the item was sent to the inventory.
Hmm. Seventy percent successful.
It would be a good category at first.
"What were you doing?
Letty asks after watching the work finish.
I had my inventory displayed on the display and said while showing the items that fit inside.
"I used Disassembly skills. Use the technique to see the red line, trace it and cut it with a knife to get a bonus on the dropped item."
Oh yeah. What do you mean, poor...?
"Say what. It's an effective use of resources."
What I took from this mouse was herbivorous mouse fur. Then, an item called "Herbivore Tail" was added by "Dismantling".
As always, I don't know what it will be used for, but it is better to have one than none.
Incidentally, Dismantling Skills are also one of the skills classified in the same living system as Camping.
Well then, I'll hunt the requested amount quickly. Ah, just say a word before you attack. It also raises the level of skills. "
"I see. Let's keep it that way!
Return the knife to the spear and remove the camera.
Meanwhile, Letty looks around and looks for new enemies.
"There it is! This time it's Tori."
Behind his fingers is a large chicken with brown feathers. There are three wings wrapped around the grassroots or something.
Quickly put it in the finder and cut the shutter.
By the time I was running the camera, Letty was already running.
"'Intimidation'! uuuuuuuuuu!"
Loud and flashy effects.
The excited chickens spread their wings and pointed their sharp mouths at Letty.
"'Double Thrust'!
Point your neck at a different chicken from the one Letty targeted and stick out a spear.
Two pricks without putting hair in. Damage effects erupt, shredding the chicken's HP bar.
"Ho ho! It was a blow!
Really? It's a boulder. "
Responding to Letty's pleasant voice, he repeated his basic attacks.
I managed to scrape off the chicken's health.
Looking back, Letty blew up her second HP.
"Are you done?
"It's over!
Work hard on the clear expression letty and dismantle it.
After checking the inventory for items, we walked out into the meadow looking for more enemies.
