I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel - Chapter 111

111 – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

When I opened my eyes, I saw a dense forest.

They said it was survival.

The middle of the forest seems to be the location for this quest.

As soon as I stepped on the soft soil, a message appeared in front of my eyes.

[You have entered the dimension ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’!]

[You cannot go outside until the quest is over.]

[In this dimension, messages from external deities and the use of shops are restricted.]

Except for the name of the dimension, it is not different from the contents of the quest.

I opened the store as a test, but it still didn’t respond.

The message of support from Godhead, which had been heard until just before, was completely cut off.

It seems to be true that it is completely cut off from the outside world.

‘Anyway, it’s quite a place to fight from now on-‘

“It’s a more peaceful place than I thought.”

Eunbyeol said while watching a squirrel walking on a tree.

I just nodded as I was thinking the same thing.

“I will. Sleeping at this level won’t be a problem.”

Once you feel the weather, it is not very different from Korea.

If I had to question it, would it be on the milder side?

You’ll only find out at night, but I don’t think there’ll be any major problems with staying there.

‘This isn’t bad enough.’

I heard that it was a different dimension, so I was prepared for a place like the desert where people can’t live.

I think I’ll be fine with this.

He nodded his head in satisfaction at the situation, which was better than expected.

But for some reason, Eunbyeol was staring at me with a strange gaze.

“Why, why are you like that?”

“Are you saying that on purpose?”

“Yes?”

When I asked again without knowing the English language, Eunbyeol let out a deep sigh.

Then she shook her head from side to side.

“……It’s okay. It doesn’t seem to make any sense.”

After saying that, he turned his head while fiddling with the eyepatch on her face.

As if muttering, I could hear him muttering, “What, I’m the only one who cares.”

Hmm, I feel a bit awkward with Eunbyeol since last time.

“What are you doing? Didn’t you check the surrounding terrain first?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Still, I didn’t spend the time together with Eunbyeol and Hut.

As the two of us were walking, we were talking comfortably before we knew it.

“I understand that you brought a lot of food. Shouldn’t we hunt and eat the animals here?”

“Because there might be poison. Even Eunbyul’s heal can’t cure food poisoning.”

“Mmm, that’s right.”

The heal Eunbyeol uses can only heal trauma.

Injured wounds heal at a speed that can be called modern medicine.

It has no effect on diseases such as the common cold.

“Even if it is the forest of the earth, it is dangerous to eat anything carelessly. Not to mention other dimensions. You may not know later, but you’d better be careful at first.”

As long as the squirrel lives, I think it’ll probably be fine.

It’s not a safe situation, and there’s no reason to risk it.

I also care about the comments I checked through the comment search.

“A bigger problem than that would be water.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

In fact, they can survive for several days without food.

In survival, that’s lethal, but not to the point of dying right away.

However, things are different with water.

Even under normal circumstances, a person will die if they do not drink water for three days.

In this environment, it would be much worse.

In some cases, dehydration can occur even if you do not drink water for a day.

‘If you care about it vaguely, it’ll put strain on your body.’

The problem is that water is a pretty tough resource to carry around.

Generally, the amount of water a person should drink per day is about 1L.

The horse is 1L.

Just carrying it consumes a lot of stamina.

Well, basically it’s not difficult for players with high strength.

Right now, the volume alone is considerable.

“I don’t even know what the conditions for this quest are. At worst, you could just survive weeks here. Securing water is essential for even the strongest.”

“……Maybe everyone thought that far, right?”

“If you’re a top player enough to come here, you will.”

If you eat something wrong in survival and get sick, you should see it as the end.

There aren’t many brave people who dare to take risks in such a situation.

Most of them probably brought enough food to eat.

‘And he must be thinking of stealing other people’s food.’

I have a subspace bundle, so I bring enough food and various items.

However, not all players are likely to be in such a comfortable situation.

A backpack would have been the limit at most.

Because it’s a survival event, you have to think about fighting or physical strength.

The easiest way to get food in such a situation is to steal it from other players.

Even if that’s not the case, players must kill each other anyway.

The more food or resources you have, the better.

“Hmm, but this… do I really have to fight?”

“Yes?”

When I turned my head to look at it, Eunbyeol hurriedly shook her head.

“No, I’m not saying I don’t want to fight now. If you look at the quests, there is no saying that you must fight people.”

“… ….”

Speaking of survival, I thought that cooperation between people is the basis.”

…After listening to it, Eunbyeol was right.

Because of points and food issues, I thought I had to kill the player and steal it.

In fact, it might be better to cooperate with each other.

Hunting is not difficult when top players join forces.

Right now, not only me, but Eunbyeol can win alone if he’s at the level of a wolf.

If there are dozens of talented people like that, even the boss would be ridiculous.

‘Unbeknownst to me, the players thought they should kill each other.’

Maybe it’s because she’s a Eunbyeol who rarely fights with other players due to her nature.

Your thinking is more flexible than mine.

“I see. I hadn’t even thought about it that far. As expected, Eunbyeol seems to have a wider field of view than me.”

“Chi, even if I praise you, won’t you forgive me for making your heart flutter earlier?”

What else is it to forgive something that made your heart flutter?

Anyway, it was when I was pondering Eunbyeol’s words.

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard over the sky.

[Ha ha ha! Are you eagerly exploring the forest, customers!]

A likable voice, but a tone that is strangely unpleasant to hear.

When I looked up, I saw a hatter in a giant hologram.

I didn’t expect to see that face like this.

Wasn’t it that I couldn’t use the perish shop?

[Maybe you can’t use the perish shop? You must be thinking the same thing, right?]

…I guess it’s because of my mood that the man’s eyes are on me?

I believe so.

[Of Calls! Unfortunately, the doom shop is not available there! This time I’m just a guide! Shit! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to over-sell your merchandise! It’s such a damn system…! Huh? What? You want me to follow the script? Ah, okay, okay.]

The hatter gestured in the air and continued his explanation with an annoyed face.

[The reason why the hatter you love appeared here! That’s to explain this quest to you. As many of you might have expected, this quest intentionally hides the process and achievement conditions of the quest.]

Is it to cause a difference in information with the outside?

This quest is of the kind that can’t be left midway, and can’t convey information outside.

I just think it’s malicious to tell people about it after they’ve come in.

[As you know, this is a quest to earn points through hunting! There are many spirits living in the dimension you are in. Oh, don’t worry even if it’s a spirit. At best, they are just slightly intelligent animals. Things like squirrels, foxes and rabbits. Maybe smarter than the March Hare here gagging! Now, wait!]

The hatter was knocked down by a high heel that flew from the side.

…..Still an interesting combination.

Even after the fall of the March Rabbit Hotel, it seems to be living well.

I haven’t seen it even after summoning the shop for a while.

[Hmm! Hmm! There was an accident for a while. Anyway, killing those spirits will give you points. Of course, the stronger you are, the more points you get, right? By the way, even if you are not the winner of this quest, a huge reward is planned. I hope you all continue to challenge yourself.]

After saying that, the hatter suddenly made a sly expression.

[Also, the conditions for clearing this quest are kept secret until the end. Please do your own research and complete the quest. Well, it goes without saying that a huge reward awaits those who figure it out and clear it, right? By the way, the quest will not end until cleared.]

Ah, that was a bit embarrassing.

Doesn’t that mean that if I don’t clear it, I might have to live here for the rest of my life?

‘No, it’s probably a structure we can figure out somehow, seeing as you say that.’

As the hatter said, the reward for clearing it will be enormous.

The core of this quest was to find the conditions while hunting for points.

[Aeaand-! The points you have accumulated can be exchanged for coins at a 1:1 ratio! Whooping! By the way, the weakest spirit here gives 100p. How much value is this alone… Everyone here should know, right?]

I felt that the hatter’s eyes had instantly changed into those of the merchant.

But it’s such an unconventional story.

Even if you kill quite a few zombies, the coins that come out will not exceed 50.

From noble mtl dot com

Bosses have a different story, but catching them requires risking one’s life, and it’s difficult to see them in the first place.

But at most, 100 coins for catching a rabbit.

Even if you catch 10 of them, you get 1000 coins.

This means that the money that can be earned by catching dozens of zombies will come in at once.

‘If this is just the amount of points, how amazing are the alternative quest rewards?’

Rarely, I even heard doubts about the unconventional proposal.

I’ve never thought of the quest as having a specific purpose.

But there’s no way there’s such a comfortable quest.

No way the spirits are worth 100 points! With that said, if you hunt a player, you’ll get 1000 points! Won’t you do this?

[Ha ha! Those eyes stained with greed! Personally, I really like it! Then we should also talk about the player-to-player hunting you’re probably most curious about. As explained in the quest, points are awarded even if you kill the player.]

As expected, this story came out.

The hatter then said as if he was going to die of laughter.

[Points awarded for hunting players are 1 point!]
