SSS-Rank Mechanic Player - SSS-Rank Mechanic Player chapter 71

Charr. squash. squash.

Taejeong, who landed on the water off the coast of Wando, muttered as he watched the rising sun.

“I don’t know what’s particularly strange when I see it here.”

The view of the sea seen from the inland was nothing short of tranquility.

Calm waves and wind.

A clear sky without a single cloud.

There was no sign of a storm anywhere.

“Let’s go as far as we can see, for now.”

Taejeong, who floated into the air again, began to move forward.

As I was flying through the refreshing sea breeze, I suddenly thought of Soyoung.

It was Tae-jung who couldn’t even take her near the sea because of her busy life.

She too had grown up early and had never said such a thing, but as an older brother, it was only natural that she wanted to show that a place like this existed.

‘I’ll have to take Wolmido with me later. Now that I am a Hunter, I should be able to enter.’

South Korea was a controlled country.

No, it was a structure that had no choice but to be controlled.

Starting with randomly appearing movement portals, numerous field dungeons that are still unorganized.

So is the beach.

Even now, many monsters were infested, and protecting civilians from them was like a guild’s duty.

So, the only places I could go as a civilian were, at best, developed cities.

A place like the sea full of monsters is a place you can’t even dream of.

But now that Tae-jeong became a hunter, he was able to roam around pretty much any place.

In particular, the place where the guild’s shares are included is even more comfortable.

How long did it take to fly like that?

wheein-!

A vortex formed with the strong wind, and his model began to stagger.

And a group of black clouds and pouring rain in the distance.

Waves the size of a house were rolling in below.

“It’s from there.”

Taejeong thought about going a little closer, but shook her head and made up her mind.

Falling in strong winds is no problem, but I was worried about lightning striking from all sides.

Taejeong, who started the descent slowly, summoned the navigator just above the surface.

Then the blaster attached to his back was released, and something huge wrapped around his body.

At the same time, a sense of weight was created, and the collapsed fuselage began to sink into the sea.

“Ohh. This is a diving aircraft.”

The aircraft seen from the inside was in the form of a capsule.

One round window on the left and right sides, and one straight through window on the front.

There was a stick where both hands were located, and in front of it, there was a display along with the console.

“This is more novel than a protector. Is it because everything is blocked? It really feels like riding something.”

Taejeong felt as if she was in a small spaceship.

I’ve never actually seen it, but it looked similar to what I saw in the cartoons I saw as a child.

Moreover, in the case of the protector aircraft, it was not a structure that was blocked this far, so somehow it felt more new.

It’s like the feeling you get when you pick up your first car.

“Gerard, give me the coordinates to Jeju Island.”

-All right. You have completed setting the coordinates to Jeju Port, the first display at the bottom left.

“this? OK. Then, where should I drive slowly?”

As the power was increased, the aircraft began to slowly move forward.

The operation was very careful and careful as if handling a baby.

All external searchlights were on, but underwater visibility was not very good.

It was because the light could not come in due to the bad weather outside.

But there was no problem.

It was because he had a smart artificial intelligence called Gerard, and a very good radar and deep sea navigation that tells the destination.

The first underwater voyage in my life went smoothly.

The image in the sea, which was initially hazy and difficult to see, is now accustomed to and worth seeing in its own way.

Another thing I didn’t know was that this aircraft had an automatic navigation system implemented.

Thanks to this, he was able to sail comfortably in autopilot mode.

“But roughly how many hours will it take?”

– 10 hours at current speed, 6 hours at full speed.

“It takes quite a while. Didn’t I say that the maximum output is 4 times the mana currently consumed?”

-That’s right.

“I guess I should have brought some work. I don’t think I’ve ever done 10 hours of hunting, so let’s try image training.”

That moment when he was just about to lean on the back of his head.

A beep sounded from the left display.

belt! belt! belt!

After straightening his posture again and confirming it, Taejeong asked Gerard.

“What’s up on the radar?”

– It means that something is approaching.

“This is a conversion from sonar to large radius, right?”

-That’s right.

“Then you mean a monster. I turn off auto and I drive.”

-Disable autopilot.

Holding the stick again, Tae-jung kept his pace and kept an eye on the situation board on the left.

‘500 meters. 300 meters. 100 meters… 50, where are you?’

With about 50 meters left, he slowed down and looked left and right.

The object on the radar has already shrunk to 10 meters.

‘Where are you?’

While Tae-jung was looking out the window and looking for a target, he heard Gerard’s warning sound.

– Below.

“under?”

bang!

At the same time as he answered, a tremendous force was applied to his body.

The impact was so strong that the plane instantly jumped up to ten meters.

“Kuk. How strong are you?”

– Coming again.

“You won’t get hit twice.”

Taejeong, who started controlling the aircraft right away, stretched her power out in front of me.

At the same time, I turned around to check the figure of the guy.

“I-what is that?”

In front of Taejeong’s eyes was a huge wall.

A yellow-brown, faded wall full of holes.

He was thinking about what that was and was about to move the stick, when suddenly a huge hole opened in the middle of the wall and something appeared.

It was none other than the eyes.

A giant eyeball the size of its own torso.

It was only then that Taejeong realized that he was the Great King Octopus, the watchman of the sea.

A large monster with a body length of 30 meters.

He had been memorizing about sea monsters for the past few days, and he was the one he wanted to see the most.

“They say it’s so hard to see, maybe you’re lucky.”

Tentacles descend in a -45 degree direction.

“uh.”

Taejeong, who answered Gerard’s warning, started to turn the aircraft to the left.

Then, a huge tentacle passed in an oblique line came into view.

‘It’s really big. If I get it right, I’ll go to the goal.’

It was a precarious situation, but Taejeong’s eyes were shining with curiosity rather than fear.

In fact, when I saw it in the encyclopedia, I wondered if there really was such a huge guy.

It was because it was such a huge size that he couldn’t even get a sense of 30 meters.

But seeing it in person, this was not so great, it was phenomenal.

Great King Octopus, who belongs to the 3rd class large monster, is about this size, but how big are the ones with 1st class or limited class?

Taejeong, who had stuck out her tongue, lightly dodged another incoming tentacle attack, then stepped back in front of the guy’s eyes.

Now that you’ve looked around, it’s time to finish.

Weaknesses were already known.

“Set a target. The coordinates are his eyeballs.”

-Setup is complete.

“Loading torpedoes.”

– Loading complete.

“Goodbye, octopus head.”

As he finished speaking, his hand pressed the final fire button.

Then, along with air bubbles, two small torpedoes began to be fired from the launch tubes on the left and right sides of the fuselage.

It turned around like a snake moving, chasing the coordinates, and soon it pierced the final target, a giant eye, and caused a huge explosion.

Papa pat! Pod!

It took a while for the body to be pushed by the shock wave of the explosion.

I heard a message announcing his death.

[You have defeated King Octopus.]

[Acquire 5 million EXP.]

[You have acquired the Parasitic Giant Clam.]

“Five. items.”

Taejeong, who easily dealt with it, opened her inventory and checked the item.

Then, a huge clam filled with water was put in the first row of the second row.

When I took it out with both hands, the water dripped and the vivid smell of the sea was transmitted.

“Look how fresh it is. Roughly 20 inches.”

A seashell so large that it would not fit even with two palms open.

It was the second best item among the items that Octopus drops.

magic stone.

The jewel that this shell contained was a magic crystal.

A small magic crystal with market value ranging from 1 billion to 5 billion.

The difference in price is because they are all different sizes.

“If it’s this big, I think it’s worth it to fit in.”

Taejeong tried to open her mouth by touching the seashell to check the shape of the magic stone.

However, despite its size, the clam does not budge.

After a few more attempts, he eventually summoned a skin suit with added strength.

Then, due to the increased power, the tightly closed mouth of the clam opened wide.

And a jewel the size of a baby’s fist.

It was a larger size than I thought.

“I’m guessing roughly 3 billion won? It’s bigger than the one I ate at Crescent Moon Land before. By the way, this is a field, so why are items coming into the inventory?”

– This is not an ordinary field. I can’t tell you in detail, but it’s safe to see it as a dungeon in the area affected by the storm that is spread over the sea as it is a place dominated by power.

“Are there many places like this?”

– I can’t say there are many, but I can’t say there aren’t either.

“What kind of pun is that?”

– You will gradually come to know.

“What good. The important thing is that you got one item.”

In any case, it was a pretty decent profit.

This alone earned the minimum round-trip mana value.

Having received an unexpected gift, he set sail again in a good mood.

Compared to normal sailing, underwater sailing has a lot to see.

From unknown fish to monsters that occasionally appear.

Some places were so muddy that you couldn’t see at all, but it was still better than seeing the endless open sea.

For a while to go that way.

I was suddenly drowsy.

“I haven’t slept since dawn, so I’m tired. I think I need to get some sleep before I can go and work, Gerard.”

– Yes, master.

“If you see a monster on the radar, wake it up.”

-Don’t worry and go to sleep.

“Then let me ask you a favor.”

After asking Gerard for an alarm and switching to autopilot mode, Taejeong reclined and fell asleep.

how much time had passed

-master.

“uh.”

-We will arrive at Jeju Port soon.

“already?”

Waking up with a dirty face, Taejeong checked the watch on her wrist.

Exactly 4 hours had passed.

“It seems like I just closed my eyes for a while, but time goes by so fast. Did everything go well?”

-There was one monster approaching, but it turned around and didn’t mention it.

“Well done.”

Stretching and relaxing, he prayed to reach the port quickly.

and after a while

The speed of the aircraft rapidly decreased, and something huge began to catch my eye.

“That… Isn’t it a boat?”

What caught Taejeong’s eyes was the lower part of the hull.

The aircraft that passed by it and touched the port rose to the surface.

Then, a huge ship and an old pier can be seen on the right.

Immediately turning his skills inactive, he used his blaster to rise into the air.

At the same time, Taejeong, who was carefully checking the condition of the ship, muttered while looking inland.

“Isn’t this an abandoned ship? Who is it?”
