I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 54

54 – Instinctive Choice

“I guess 20 was the limit? Well… How would we know?”

Did you have to be the last person to survive in the first round to know the limit by completing 20 characteristics? This was not information that ordinary regressors could know.

The right to resurrect the second deceased is…

For a moment, the two people who died during the bug mission came to mind.

‘I’m not worried at all. Filter. I would have chosen this if it wasn’t for immediate use.’

It’s not number 1, it’s number 3…

– Isn’t this only one time?

– This is number 1.

– I also like number 1. I feel like I can do anything with 40 traits.

– It must be difficult to fill 20 characteristics, so is there a need to do 40 now?

– It’s not like you’re given a piece, but the purchase ticket is the same as the ticket to resurrect the deceased? This is a bit much.

– No… I think it’s right to buy that Lord of Chaos… But isn’t that the way it goes?

Well, everyone except Euncheol and Eunchae think number 1 is better. I don’t know what Euncheol’s thoughts are.

‘No. 1 Will definitely be helpful in the future, it feels like a 100% guaranteed second place lottery. Number 3: This isn’t even a finished product, it’s just a ticket to purchase a piece? I’m not even giving you a piece… But it will depend on the price and performance of the full armor. It feels like a first prize lottery with low odds.’

I don’t know how great Lihlimo, the leader of the Lord of Chaos Legion, is, but I do know that his full armor is worth a lot of money.

Hmm… I’m screaming in my head that the opposite s*x is number 1, but why? The heart says number 3.

‘If you think about it, if you give me just one piece, there might be no way to collect it next time, right? If it’s a purchase voucher, as long as you have the points, you’ll be able to complete the full body armor someday…’

＜00:02:59＞

‘aaah, don’t set a time limit!’

There is no consideration for people with disabilities!

Still, I don’t think it’s number 3… Even considering cancer alone, this… There’s too much uncertainty.

“This, this…”

Thump thump thump thump-

Don’t show off, my heart, you have to choose number 1…

“One, one time… Four, three times!”

– Huh?

– …Hmm?

– hehehehe…

– Oh… Number 3? It’s an adventure, but are you aiming for the jackpot?

– Yes! Leader! That’s it!

The reactions of the people at the shelter were extremely mixed, but no one was dissatisfied with my choice.

Well, anyway, it’s my personal reward. I buy what I’m attracted to.

‘Wow… Are they really just giving me a purchase voucher… Can’t I just give them a piece?’

······

Phewㅡ

A sigh naturally flowed out.

“It’s on the list, boss!”

“Heh, okay”

Euncheol’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as much as I did.

I carefully read the description of Rihlimo’s full armor in the store list.

[Rihlimo]’S full armor fragment

– A piece of full armor of [Rihlimo], Who led the legion of [Kirinan Nbai], The lord of chaos and the one closest to the starting point of the beginning. When you collect all 6 pieces, you can obtain complete full armor.

Piece price of 1: 5,000,000P

– mana +1000, ???

Piece of 2: ???

Price for a piece of 3: ???

.

.

.

“Five million…”

Wow…

Everyone was speechless and stared blankly ahead at the words that came out as if someone was spitting them out.

‘It’s crazy… The price of the first piece is 5 million, but every time you buy more, the price will probably go up ridiculously… Still, if you buy it, it seems like it has 1000 mana and an additional effect. Even with just 10 million mana, the efficiency isn’t that bad, but the evaluation will change depending on the added effect.’

Do you feel at ease because it comes at a price that you can’t afford right now?

With just 20 mob stone rings, you can increase your team members’ magic power by over 1000 for a much smaller amount of money, so it may seem inefficient if you think about it that way.

“I’m excited about the abilities hidden behind it. Well, it’s equipment that I can’t buy right away. I think I’ve prepared for the second half of the game.”

If the prediction about the growth direction of my characteristics is correct, after passing a certain stage, there will definitely come a point where money is accumulated because there is no place to spend it even if you want to spend it. Thinking about that time, this purchase ticket would be a good choice.

‘······ Just think of it that way. It may seem like you’re rationalizing it to yourself, but it’s not wrong. ‘I haven’t completed even half of the characteristics yet, so I have room to spare.’

I felt like I bought an air conditioner in the fall, but seeing people already moving toward the kitchen one by one reminded me that today was not the day to think about such things.

“Anyway, it’s over, let’s have a drink!”

– Yes!~~

– Oh! Am I finally learning how to drink, boss?! Ouch, it hurts!

– Stop talking nonsense and follow your sister.

I followed Euncheol, who was being dragged by the back of the neck by Kahi, to the kitchen.

Brurrr

‘Oh, it’s Ringling’

Lingling: Did you compete today? What rank did you get? I couldn’t go out. Isn’t it too bad to just hit him once?

‘Hmm… Linglin didn’t make it out, it seems our information wasn’t disclosed to other teams. It’s embarrassing because it feels like I’m bragging.’

Dog: 1st place…

Lingling: Wow! For some reason, it seemed like it! Doggy is strong! It’s cute, but it’s also strong! ㅠㅠ

‘You really like me, thank you… And I need to break the idea that I’m cute at some point, but I feel like I’m deceiving myself…’

Dog: Thank you. What was your team’s result? Even one member of our team was in the top 100.

Lingling: Ah! Our team placed 3rd, 4th, and 10th!

“Wow… Crazy… The Lingling team’s strength is amazing, right?…”

Three people made it to the top 10.

If you think that ringing characteristics are added to low power…

‘That won’t happen, but if we fight against the Ringling team, won’t we be sure to lose?’

Not only does it have the number of people, but it also has quality.

‘I’m glad it’s not a direct competition game…’

There is a difficulty adjustment depending on the number of people, so if you weren’t the first to clear, you would probably have fallen far behind.

‘If you think about it that way, it might not be a very good game…’

And I ask the questions I heard during the event.

Doggy: Are the 3rd, 4th, and 10th ranks melee attack types? High strength or agility?

Ringling: Oh? How did you know? It’s been a while since I’ve shared this with you, so I’m not sure if it’s accurate, but they’re all kids whose other stats were much higher than their mana. Of course, the magic power has been boosted with accessories.

‘Well, then I understand that I was the only one who was fine. Was it an ability that affected the lower my physical ability? That guy.’

“Come on, our shelter leader, let’s have a drink first! Should we have a glass of toothpaste soju?”

“Huh? Uncle, I don’t drink mint soju – oops!”

“Now, pour yourself a drink quickly, Uncle!”

“Toothpaste and soju are included hahahaha”

Kahi and Uncle grabbed my chin and forced me to drink mint chocolate soju.

Gulp-

I barely managed to push the mouthwash-colored soju down my esophagus and briefly commented on my thoughts.

“Wow – what is this…”

– Fuhahahahaha! Look, the shelter director won’t like it either!

– No… The expression is like that because of how it tastes. Please give me some too.

– When I saw the shelter director’s expression, I thought I should never drink it.

‘Is that what my expression was like?’

[I think your expression is very funny.]

[I think your expression is strange.]

[I feel great joy seeing you.]

[I feel very grateful to you.]

[You…]

‘··· Well, everyone looks happy.’

With a bowl of boiling raw fish soup and soju, we reminisced about past events with people and chatted.

“No, I mean, there were hundreds of millions of people overlapping in one space.”

“I should have seen the shelter director punch! Ugh…”

“I’m really sad that I couldn’t see it too…”

I could show it to you now. If only someone could hit me once…

“Mister! Give me your finger.”

“Huh?”

Let’s bump fingers with Kahi after a long time.

– Resident Gahee Shin transfers 1,000,000P. Do you agree? Y/N

‘Agree once’

Points held: 10,640,096

‘Heomi… I’ve passed 10 million! How many mauve stone rings do you have?’

“But why are you giving it all? Still, you received it, so you can just use it.”

“No, I’m going to buy you this and that anyway, and I put those 30,000 points in my pocket. hehehehe.”

“hahahaha, yes, I understand. If that’s what you think.”

‘With over 10 million points, my strength has surpassed 800.’

With my current strength, wouldn’t even that praying mantis be able to lift it?

‘Once you pick it up, move it away from the shelter, knock it over right away, and then beat it like a dog… Hmm, is that too simple? It will make the spectators more enthusiastic…’

Even though my glass was spinning for a while, I was so busy thinking about how to fight alone that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed.

“Oh my god~ hehehe~”

“Are you drunk?”

Her face was beautifully ripe, like a peach.

“hehehehe… Isn’t Kibuni at the helm? Ugh…”

‘hehehehe, a cute kid is cute even when he’s drunk.’

“Oh my, Eunchae, we’re very drunk~ Shall we go to the room with you?”

“Okay, Kahi, the baby’s condition is not good, so go in and sleep.”

“Oh no, I can’t lift it. hehehehe, uncle, please move Eunchae.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

I carefully supported Eunchae’s shoulders and legs and moved to the room.

‘I’m glad you’re wearing pants.’

Actually, the only time she wore a skirt was when she was wearing a school uniform.

He gently placed Eunchae, who was as light as a feather, on her bed, looked at her for a moment, then quickly turned around and came out of her room.

‘I can’t trust myself anymore. Let’s not stare at it for nothing.’

When I held her, the smell of her body that I could smell for a moment made her lower body tingle.

‘Let’s think of the spider beast. The faces of zombies…

When I thought of the faces of the monsters, I felt my excitement subside and for the first time, I felt grateful to them.

But I don’t know how long I can endure it like this.

Living with these beautiful women in a limited space is difficult for a strong man.

‘Do I really have to endure it?’

It felt really immature to worry about something like this while playing such a crazy death game, so I let out a short sigh and headed back toward the kitchen.

“Oh our hero Eungyeon!”

“I’m Merle Hero again.”

“Puhihihi, you’re a hero! It’s an honor for me to be humbled by the number one person on earth in my life, puhahahaha!”

“You’re a hero, right? Shelter director, now that you have more points, I feel really reassured.”

I slowly savored soju with my uncle, Byeong-cheon Yoon, and Hyun-ah Kim, who drank together in silence.

“··· When is sparring?”

“Huh?··· Ah, yes, what are you going to do tomorrow?”

Hyuna seemed to want to see her win as soon as possible.

‘With my current abilities, I think I will easily win even with Hyuna’s characteristics…’

Well, if you stick to it, you’ll understand.

“Stage 21 has the image of resting, but you need to be careful when going out of the shelter. There are living shelters around, so you might run into people there.”

Byung-Cheon Yoon expressed his opinion in a serious voice.

“I definitely had problems like that in the first round. I hit and fought with other shelter people and even touched women.”

Her uncle pressed her forehead, as if recalling a troubling memory.

“······ I think we should make some basic rules. If they want to go a certain distance away from the shelter, I can escort them.”

“Well… It might be a bit of a hassle for the shelter director, but then you’ll feel relieved.”

Mr. Byeong-cheon Yoon, who responded to my opinion, looked around for a moment and then spoke again.

“And I’m also worried when the baby is born. They won’t hold an incredibly strange event, right?”

······

“I hope that doesn’t happen. What can I do with a newborn?”

“···It’s the same with things like baby supplies, and I’m worried about Jinsol after the baby is born. It might be difficult to use strength in battle.”

‘That’s right… The cost of having a baby is not a big burden, but due to Jinsol’s condition, Jinsol’s fighting ability decreases or cooking becomes difficult, and as a result, Chef Jeonggi may have to cook on his own… I need assistance. Should I add one person? ‘I guess I should think about Aksh*ta.’

We chatted for a while and drank for quite some time.
