I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel - Chapter 117
117 – Exploring
I couldn’t help but think about the point message that suddenly popped up in front of my eyes.
[From now on, you also get 1000 points every time you kill the same player!]
‘If you kill a player, you get 1000 points?’
There was no such story in the quest contents or in the Hatter’s explanation.
The only ones who can know this are the players who have really killed people.
A quest that only carries a penalty if you dare to kill the player.
Perhaps only a few people can know this information.
That said, it is not a pleasant story.
You can’t go around killing people indiscriminately to earn points.
‘If I had to question it, I’d get a bonus if I dealt with those who were targeting me.’
I don’t intend to go out and kill people on purpose.
But it’s a different story if you attack first.
There is no need to be merciful to people who come to kill people with the goal of 1000 points.
In fact, there is a realistic reason why the unit price is not right.
You can’t tell if a player is strong just by looking at their appearance.
If you’re a weakling like last time, of course it’ll be fine.
But what if the opponent I want to fight is someone who can easily defeat a boss monster?
If not, what if he is part of a large group of over 20 people?
Even if you kill him like that, you only get 1000 points.
The profit is too small to risk death and hunt humans.
‘……I understand now that I am in the position. Conversely, the other players don’t need to target me.’
Killing a person in one day on a quest like this means that you’re either quite insane or confident in your skills.
I wouldn’t want to aim for such an enemy.
I don’t know if you need a lot of points or if it’s hard to get them.
There are animals in front of you that will make it much easier to get points.
Wouldn’t it rather look at my location and avoid sparks?
At least for me, I don’t want to meet someone like that.

‘Then I guess it’s okay to say that I don’t have to worry about other guys attacking me right now.’
If you have to compare it, it is similar to an RPG game.
It is better to catch a lot of weak mobs that have a lot of rewards and are much weaker than to level up by catching boss mobs with difficulty.
My location is not easy to find.
There are people out there who will recognize them a little out of curiosity, but they will go back if it’s difficult or dangerous.
At least you won’t be attacked by other players right away.
The only problem is that it can track my location.
Well, that part is unfortunate, but it can’t be helped.
‘Isn’t what I have to do in the end not change?’
For now, I need to find clues about clearing the quest while conserving my stamina here.
I walked slowly towards the cave where the rabbits and Eunbyeol were.
“Eunbyeol-ssi, wait a minute….”
“Um, that can’t be… ….”
When we arrived at the cave, Eunbyeol was sleeping well wrapped in sleeping rabbits.
Thanks to the warm bunny, it seems that he was very sleepy.
‘You’ve relaxed quite a bit.’
I didn’t show it, but it seems that it was quite difficult to heal a large number of rabbits.
Well, it was better than trembling over an enemy that hadn’t come yet.
You have to rest enough so that you can do well in the next fight.
“Umm… ….”
Eunbyeol slightly turned her body.
Then, the cloth covering her thighs lifted up, creating a strange scene.
“Hmm! Hmm!”
I involuntarily turned her head away.
Even if Eunbyeol was wearing a saintess outfit, it was so revealing that even if she slightly turned her head, her insides could be seen clearly.
But if you are so defenseless, you have nowhere to look.
If I were to say that I was a viewer anyway, I would be alone.
That’s why you can’t stare at them.
Beep?
At that moment, a rabbit that had been awake stared at me.
It’s pure eyes as usual, but somehow it seems to be looking at it as if it’s a bit pitiful.
“What, what are you looking at?”
Beep~
A rabbit shrugs exaggeratedly and sighs openly.
As expected, it is certain that he is looking at it pathetically.
Beep? Beep! Beep!
The rabbit pointed to Eunbyeol, then pretended to hug her tightly.
…There’s nothing you can’t do with an innocent-looking face.
“Hey, don’t you think human work is that simple? When it comes to a relationship between a man and a woman, there are a lot of things to worry about and a lot of things to be careful about.”
Beep.
Beep.
Beep beep.
Even the rabbits who were listening quietly by the side began shaking their heads with a sigh.
That action is strangely upsetting.
“Hey, it’s done. I will go out and come back, so tell me when Eunbyeol wakes up. Got it?”
Pippi.
Leave the rabbit answering as if he understood, I went straight out of the burrow.
Soon we followed the rabbits’ guide and headed outside through the cave we had passed through.
It was fortunate that I had memorized the roads and unique terrain when I first came.
If I had come without thinking, I would have wandered a lot even on the road I had seen once.
I think I know why the rabbits chose that place as their hiding place.
“Hmm, has anyone come this far yet?”
As we walked like that, the forest we had entered appeared.
The scenery is still calm and even peaceful somewhere.
Still, since time has passed, players who have adapted to a certain extent will continue to hunt.
It’s just that the forest is so big that it still looks quiet.
I don’t know how long this peace will last.
After killing all the prey in front of me, I’ll move to another place right away.
I don’t know how many players will come here, but soon the whole forest will be filled with the smell of blood.
It would be faster if there were people organized around a strong boss.
‘Isn’t that something I need to worry about right now?’
It doesn’t matter what other people do until the conditions for clearing come out anyway.
For those who move in groups, there won’t be many cases where they act emotionally.
If you act on your own emotions and cause harm to members of the organization, in the worst case, you may die or be abandoned.
In that sense, the guys I met on the first day should be seen as gathering among themselves.
Basically, they weren’t even in the mood for battle.
In our case… Well, I don’t deny that it’s a bit of a special case.
Even if it’s me, I’m clearly aware that this world is a web novel and I’m the main character.
It is genuinely amazing that such a heart is not forgotten in a world that is perishing like Hyena and Eunbyeol.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the strength to go astray, or that he’s not a born adult.
Something to protect even if the world collapses.
I feel like I still have it.
‘It would be much better than a human like me who calculates others with numbers.’
The fact that I sided with the rabbits in this quest wasn’t without strategic thinking.
Because I intuitively felt that I couldn’t approach the essence of the quest simply by hunting.
Maybe I can feel it because I am at an age where I perceive this world as fiction rather than reality.
“Anyway, let’s do what we can for now.”
As I walked, I slowly checked the terrain and traces around me.
It is to prepare for the possibility of leaving the place where I am currently living.
No, considering that I was being tracked by another player, it was more likely.
Fortunately, the risk of being immediately tracked was low.
As I said, there is little merit in targeting me, and even this pursuit does not appear unless you consciously try to see it.
These players are busy enough with hunting and other things.
There aren’t many people who don’t have anything to do to see where the players are.
I looked around moderately and checked places that would be good for hiding places.
As I walked like that, I slowly approached the location where I hid the guys I had killed.
As you know, this is a different dimension from the Earth I used to live in.
Then I wanted to check what would happen to the body if I died.
At the same time, I want to see exactly how he died.
‘……Isn’t there?’
But there was nothing in the place where I gathered them.
It was when I was wondering if the corpse would automatically pass over if I died.
“I guess waiting was the right answer.”
Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me and felt several movements.
When I turned my head, I saw people jumping out through the trees and bushes.
To the extent that even I can’t feel it now, did each one of them learn a skill to hide their presence?
I feel like I’ve been waiting for the figure that filled all four sides without any gaps.
‘……Are this number of players already organized?’
I thought it would be a bit difficult for me to break through this encirclement and escape.
Everyone here must be a great player.
To create an organization of this level with only them is quite a skill no matter who knows.
At that time, the person who spoke to me walked out.
The person who came out unexpectedly was a tall, beautiful woman with a good figure.
He is wearing a black cheongsam.
It’s not suitable for battle, but it probably has a special function like Eunbyul’s saint’s clothes.
First of all, the flowing atmosphere seemed familiar with the battle.
It is not the confidence you have simply by relying on numbers.
“I was curious about who it was, but I never thought it would be this young. Besides, they are Asians like us.”
“Is that China?”
“Yes, so are you Japanese?”
“I am Korean.”
“Oh, excuse me.”
The woman drew a smile on her eyes.
It was as if I was exploring what kind of person I was with the gaze that naturally looked up and down.
“My name is Xiao Mei. I am the leader of the Black Society, a survival group in China.”
“Hmm.”
“Oh, you are not surprised.”
“Should I be surprised?”
“Usually, when I say this, they are surprised that a woman is the leader.”
Now that the opponent is a woman, there is no need to be surprised that he is strong.
Because gender and age don’t matter much when it comes to becoming stronger with skills and traits.
Looking at Yuri right now, she looks like an ordinary girl on the outside, but she is so talented that she slashed monsters.
“I like it. In fact, I’ve been waiting for a man like you all along. I thought I would definitely come back to see the corpse.”
“Do you have something to do with me?”
“Yes, if you don’t mind, would you like to join our black society?”
[The opponent used the ‘Temptation of a Saved Girl’!]
[With the skill effect, you will feel like and want to obey your opponent!]
[The attribute ‘Metafiction’ ignores the opponent’s skill!]
Ignoring the message that floated in front of my eyes, I glanced to the side.
She’s probably her leader. Maybe she herself, but her other subordinates didn’t seem to like me very much.
Or maybe they see me as a competitor.
“I don’t know why you’re suggesting that. Do you need someone else’s hand to kill an animal?”
Xiao Mei opened her eyes in a slight surprise when I didn’t mind despite her skills.
But she soon regained her composure.
“The more allies, the better. Especially useful for people who have committed murder.”
‘Aha, is it good to write in discarded words?’
If you only injure people and don’t kill them, you won’t be pursued.
In other words, even if you fight, you only need one person to hit the last blow.
There is a loss in selecting that person from within the organization.
Moreover, they are not mediocre, but talented people in their own right.
But it’s a different story if I’ve already committed murder and I’m an outsider.
Since I’ve already killed, there’s less pressure, and I can just throw it away if I have to.
“…The preparations are thorough.”
“It’s okay for now, but there will always be fights with other people. Let’s prepare for that time in advance. It’s called Yubimuhwan, isn’t it?”
“With this amount?”
“Whoops, there are a lot of pretty scary people here. There are organizations with more than 40 members. We have to be careful too.”
Well, the behavior itself is not strange.
A quest where you don’t know what will happen.
Until you know the clearing conditions, you probably want to conserve your strength as much as possible.
Perhaps there are organizations that have already formed alliances with each other.
“Yeah, even so. So what’s the good for me?”
“I will protect you during the quest. And if there’s something to kill, I’ll give you 500 coins each time. That’s not a bad suggestion, is it?”
“Is that all?”
“Sorry, but you have no other options.”
As the woman raised her hand, the men behind her each raised their weapon and aimed at me.
“If you refuse, we have no choice but to subdue you, tie you up, and see if stabbing you with your arm will count you dead.”
“It would be impossible with just this amount.”
“Yes?”

Seeing Xiao Mei staring at me with her puzzled face, I waved her hand.
Anyway, I didn’t come today to fight, but to get information, so this is an unexpected harvest.
“Thanks for the information. I’m going like this today, but next time you’re going to kill me, bring 100 people.”
Isn’t it because he was in charge of the organization’s leader with a form?
Noticing something suspicious in me, Xiao-Mei shouted.
“Stop that right now!”
But it’s already too late.
I immediately activated the skill I had prepared.
Because I didn’t go to a dangerous place without thinking.
[Used the skill ‘Sentence Movement’!]
[Move to the place you were in the episode!]
My body instantly landed in the cave I was in earlier.
As expected, the effect of the skill is certain.
I bet you didn’t know you could use teleportation.
The range was narrowly inside.
“Eunbyeol, outside earlier…!”
It was when I was about to speak to Eunbyeol right away.
In the middle of the cave stood a half-naked woman.
“Ah.”
Eunbyeol, a face she knew well, looked at herself with a slightly surprised face.
Soon after, her white cheeks gradually turned red.
Perhaps he was washing while I was away.
Embarrassed glances come and go.
Pippi!
In the midst of that, the rabbit who said something to me earlier gave a thumbs up as if to say “Lee Yeol”.
No, I didn’t mean to.
