Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 282

282 – Returner Fight (1)

I believe in the butterfly effect. I believe that the smallest difference in behavior can make a big difference.

“What’s wrong?”

“No.”

Therefore, we focused on performing all actions the same as in the previous episode. Cleared the 27th floor with ease. After waiting for a while while washing up, I had Jiwon contact firefighter Park Cheol-jin. A company dinner is a dinner party, but it’s because Michael Jeter wanted to maintain his promise to support us.

But should we say that boring is boring? Drinking jokes are usually fun when you first hear them, but when you hear them again, you can’t give a pleasant and refreshing reaction. Still, I tried. I tried to show the same reaction as the previous episode as much as possible.

“By any chance, did I say something wrong?”

“Oh, no. “No.”

Of course, there is a limit to human concentration, and because of that, there was a minor mistake where Michael Jeter lost concentration and frowned when repeating the story. I was able to repeat the previous episode with ease. There are no variables. The world will proceed in the same way.

And let’s talk a little more about maintenance.

“Are you conserving your contribution more?”

“Let’s wake up to the 30th floor and think.”

“Okay.”

I decided to save my contribution a little more. It’s not that I don’t have enough strength right now, so it seemed better to use up the contributions I had accumulated when I was overwhelmed.

The level is… It’s still the same. To be honest, I had some expectations when I killed the dragon, but the level was not unlocked. If killing such a great dragon doesn’t unlock the level, do you have to kill a god to level up? I don’t know.

Still, I don’t feel like I’m lacking strength right away, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

“Are you ready?”

“Of course!”

Preparation is over. Condition is excellent. Mentality is also good.

28. 29. 30. There are only three floors left until the 30th floor. There are three steps left to move into the future.

“Let’s go.”

Maybe. It won’t take long.

-Entered on the 28th floor.

“What. Are you a newbie?”

“Hey, newbie, stand up instead of lying down… “

-Teook.

“Huh?”

The moment I found consciousness. I caught the kick that was swinging towards my head. I think this has happened before. I blocked it this time.

“Uh, that. Hmm. “I’m sorry.”

“… Why is a bastard of that size lying down? Damn… I wonder if he’s holding his form properly… “

When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw a bald man with a long beard slightly lowering his head and some furry dogs looking at me and whispering. Wait, furry? It looks like some kind of Yeti. It’s not a person

Anyway, their bodies were all muscular and trained, and they had weapons nearby. They are warriors.

Okay. I can see it right away. They are stupid but strong. I understand because I see you talking behind your back so loudly. For these kids, you have to go harder to get the job done.

“Where am I?”

With a cold expression on my face, I asked them in an innocent tone. The bald head shrinks slightly and speaks obediently.

“That… “Didn’t you come here knowing that?”

“I don’t know.”

Wooden floor. Pot. Several soft-looking sofas. Massage chair. TV. Water purifier. It looked like some kind of office, or like a break room. However, the overall design was avant-garde and did not seem to be the Earth’s style. Should I say that the furniture does not fit together and is out of place?

I glared at the bald man again. The guy hesitates before answering.

“Oh, well. “You may not know.”

“Explain in detail.”

“… “What did you say to me?”

“Uh.”

“… Fuck.”

The bald man with a beard cursed softly, turned his head, looked at me, and began to explain. Why did that guy’s hair grow down instead of up?

“Here is…” “It’s an arena.”

“Arena?”

“Don’t you know what an arena is? What is an arena? “

“No. No, more details.”

“… Therefore. This is the largest arena in the universe, and we are the ones fighting there. Make money too. And gain fame. If you do well, you will also get women.”

“Space?”

“Space.”

Let’s just say that the background is space scale.

“If you fight and win, your ranking goes up… As your rank rises, the reward for winning also increases… If you lose too many times, you get kicked out… Again… “

“I understand roughly. “Is the fight one-on-one?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Uh… That’s right.”

So, this is a bit like the pvp ranking of the game. If you fight one-on-one and win, your ranking goes up. Fight money is also rising. A place that gains fame.

“Try talking about something else.”

“Okay… “

The bald man was not good at explaining things, but fortunately I was able to understand clearly.

Anyone can register in the arena. If you wait a bit after registering, an appropriate matchup will be created, and if you win there, your ranking will rise. Money will be paid to the account you entered when you first registered, and if your ranking rises sufficiently, it will be broadcast on air and you will also receive a broadcast fee… It is said that it is that way.

“Is it possible to die while fighting?”

“Well, in principle, you can kill me…” ” Since they are partners, there are not many people who kill on purpose. “If a bad rumor spreads, the opponent may refuse to fight.”

“Hmm.”

Doesn’t the fact that I just tried to kick someone in the head count as part of the spirit of partnership? Or maybe they were trying to discourage me because I was new. I don’t know. Anyway, the atmosphere didn’t seem as scary as I thought. Should I say it’s a bit ‘entertainment’? Should I say it’s sporty?

Perhaps the goal of this floor is also related to this arena. I have to register first.

“So, where do you register?”

“… This is the waiting room. Probably the fact that you’ve come this far means that registration is over… “

“Aha.”

“… “

Registration has already been completed. After barely understanding, I looked at the TV flashing loudly on the other side of the wall. On one TV, a number was written like a bank waiting number, and on the other TV, people were about to fight. The audience’s enthusiasm.

〈28th floor〉

-You can clear the arena when you rank in the top 100.

-Your identification number is 67271711.

“100th place.”

Only then does the message window quietly reveal itself. All you have to do is be in the top 100 in the rankings.

“Bald head. “What rank are you?”

“… 241,104th place.”

I glanced at the magic power in my eyes and saw that there was magic power, but not much. Even if you look at the soul, it doesn’t seem to shine that much. A guy who is roughly in the strongest class for an ordinary person is ranked 240,000.

“What rank am I?”

“Why did you do that to me…” ” ” Since he’s a newbie, he could probably surpass the 1 millionth rank.”

“Okay.”

If that guy is in the top 25%… I get it roughly. What does it feel like?

I was nodding as I thought I had figured out the situation, then I opened the door and something resembling a spherical drone flew out and scanned my face. I instinctively tried to avoid it, but it didn’t seem to cause any harm, so I just left it alone.

“Seaweed. June. Like. It’s your turn.”

After scanning the face, a smiling emoticon appeared on the surface of the old drone. It was my turn, and it seemed like the drone was there to guide the way.

“Can I follow you?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

I stood up, patted the fur of the fluffy yeti-like guys near the exit, and followed the drone out of the waiting room. I didn’t notice it when I saw it from afar, but the Yetis had a strong animal smell. It was dirty.

Anyway, when I opened the door and came out, a black universe greeted me. The walls of the hallway were transparent, and the universe and the twinkling stars were clearly visible. It really is a worldview that is a bit absurd to science fiction.

“Are you new?”

“Oh.”

“He’s human.”

The hallway was full of non-human things. The slimy-looking guy looked at me and smiled, the fish-looking guy opened his eyes wide, and the cat-looking guy made a fuss. I desperately felt like it wasn’t Earth, and I felt like making a fuss, but… Since I was going to fight right away, I kept my cool attitude as much as possible.

“This is the place.”

“Okay.”

How long did you walk? The drone stopped in front of a small door. Without delay, I opened the door and went in. There was no reason to hesitate.

“Hoo.”

Inside the door was a playground-like space with a dirt floor. Is not it? It’s a bit narrow for an exercise device. It feels roughly like four school classrooms joined together.

Walls and ceilings made of iron. Dirt floor. There was a small door on the other side, and it had the same design as the door I entered through. It’s probably like a space where the other person enters.

“It’s a little different.”

What I saw on TV earlier was a very large space with an audience and a lot of cameras. Maybe it’s because it’s my first fight. There is nothing except a drone floating in the air.

“Huh.”

Well, it won’t take long. This floor.

-67271711. Entry completed.

I wasn’t confident I would lose. No matter who comes up against it. I will rise to rank 100 as quickly as possible.

It rattled. The door on the other side opens. I took a deep breath and prepared for battle. It will be over in one shot.

-67271710. Entry completed.

“… Huh?”

“Oh?”

I thought so.

“… “Jiwon?”

Until I confirmed that the woman standing over there was Choi Ji-won.
