This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 174

familiar world

Aris thought for a moment that something was wrong with her ears.

However, seeing Yooseong’s unusual expression, he realized that he hadn’t misunderstood.

“… … What was the grade of the quest when me and Yooseong-nim first met?”

“E grade.”

“Uh, um… … . Obviously, I told you to do anything, but this is a bit… … . Wouldn’t it be better to do at least one or two easy quests to gain experience rather than immediately entering combat?”

“That is hard. There are several reasons, but once you take you out of an easy quest, you will lose money.”

Currently, the grade of the android Aris is in is A+.

If you take out an item of this level from a quest before talking about a cow slaughter knife to catch a chicken, the artifact usage rate of an E or D grade quest will be 100% from the start, and the clear rank will be FFF.

It is a clear rank with penalties such as confiscation of karma points rather than rewards.

If it’s a C-rank quest, you won’t see any loss, but it’s hard to see any benefit unless you raise the fate change rate to 100% or more.

“In order to use A-level skills or items, you have no choice but to challenge at least a B-level or higher, if possible, A-level quest.”

“Then why don’t we downgrade this body? By changing the power source from dragon hearts to mana stones, rare metals or high-tech parts to low-grade parts, and lowering the grade, we challenge easy quests.”

“The second reason why we have to challenge high-level quests, we can’t afford to waste time on easy quests right now. Do you know about the situation on Earth?”

“Well what… … .”

Aris, who surfed the web and watched New Tube whenever she was bored, licked her lips.

The lively atmosphere with the establishment of the academy and the international contractor association quickly turned into the end of the century atmosphere as Europe became a mess due to the undead crisis.

Rich people went crazy about building bunkers, mass suicides occurred everywhere, and a significant number of people became criminals saying they would enjoy themselves before they died anyway.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the world was already half ruined if I added a little exaggeration.

“The system is still maintained, but if there is one more major accident like the undead incident, humanity could really be ruined. We need to build up our strength ASAP before that happens.”

“Yeah, but I struggled so much with E-rank quests, but I might not be able to solve it at the lowest A- grade.”

“The reason I struggled then was because I didn’t know anything and didn’t have anything. But now it’s different. Now you can use skills and items. Even if the level of the quest is much higher, the actual difficulty level will be much lower than that.”

After thinking for a while, Aris finally nodded.

Even after suffering 999 deaths, Yooseong did not give up and defeated the Chimera, fought the Archwitch to save himself, and finally created a new body.

Even if you catch it at least, it’s a situation where you owe your life three times.

I could do anything to repay the favor.

“great. then… … .”

[Access to the multidimensional navigation system.]

[The quest observation was successful.]

– Color of the end.

– Invaders from the sky and protectors from the underworld.

-Only 10 minutes to reach the nuclear missile!

-The moment you deal with the demon king, your trusted colleagues betrayed you.

-… … .

After checking the list of quests, Yooseong narrowly opened his eyes.

As always, choosing one of the many quests was difficult.

Especially in this case, it was all the more so as several conditions were added.

‘The A- grade [The Hero Who Couldn’t Become a Hero] quest was so difficult that I couldn’t clear it without actively using skills and items at the end. To clear A-rank quests, you must not save your skills and items. And if you have to actively use skills and items, you have to choose a quest that has the highest utilization.’

It was easy to find quests that met the criterion for selecting quests so far, ‘the actual difficulty would be lower than the marked difficulty’.

For example, [The moment the demon lord was dealt with, the trusted colleagues betrayed] the quest.

There is a possibility that this quest could easily progress by causing infighting among party members.

However, there was little room to use skills and items, so it was ambiguous to choose.

Yooseong, who had been turning the pages for a while, suddenly found a certain quest and blinked.

[Finding Treasure]

-Civilization Classification: B-15

– Civilization Rating: 0.71

-Difficulty: A

-Muk Cheol-young, a descendant of a fallen samurai family, heard a rumor that the Cheonma Jangbo-do, which was a long time ago, was discovered by chance. It wasn’t long before he set out for Murim with confidence in the thought of gaining the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon and raising a family, but Muk Cheol-yeong realized how dangerous and cruel Murim was. Please help Muk Cheol-young survive and fulfill his will.

-clear conditions

1. Return to the family safely: 30,000,000 Karma, Mukryong Shrine ×1, Supreme Blood poison wine ×1, Great Hwandan ×5.

– additional conditions

1. Obtain Cheonma-dong’s Treasure: 200,000,000 Karma, Cheonma-dong’s Treasure x3.

It didn’t matter how small the number of rewards was.

No, it was better.

According to the information sent by Kang Chang-seok, if the number of rewards in a high-level quest is small, there is a high probability of getting a high-end item.

One powerful item is far more valuable than a bunch of obscure junk.

However, it wasn’t because of the reward that Yooseong was interested in the [Finding Treasure] quest.

“B-15.”

The second quest you cleared, [The Church of the Heavenly Demon. Last moment] and the same civilization classification code.

‘Obviously the time multiplier at that time… … .’

I don’t know the exact time scale because I didn’t measure the time, but if I estimated it based on the situation at the time, I was certain that there would be a lot of difference.

Despite spending a whopping 15 days in the quest, when they returned to Earth, there were still orcs nearby.

If the time elapsed on Earth is taken as 5 minutes, it has a time multiplier of thousands of times, and even if it is set as 1 hour, it has a time multiplier of hundreds of times.

“Actually, in terms of importance, time multiplier is the top priority.”

There are very few worlds where the difference in time scale is extreme, but they do exist.

After finishing the quest in this world, I came back, but on Earth, many years have passed and humanity has already perished… … There is no guarantee that the same unfunny things won’t happen.

Until now, quests were chosen based on difficulty and rewards because there was no way to check the time multiplier.

‘But if I could figure out the time multiplier, the story would be different.’

There were quests that were easier and had more attractive rewards, but [Finding the Treasure] was the only quest that allowed you to know the time multiplier.

Having hardened his heart, Yoosung approached Aris and held her hand.

“Yoo, Yoosung?”

[‘Finding the Treasure’ begins.]

[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]

[Dimensional coordinates specified and connection of Ariadne’s thread completed.]

[Spirit moves.]

“die! die! Die!”

“Yes, the death penalty? why… … !”

“aaa!”

Screams and the fishy smell of blood came from all directions.

The time needed to grasp the situation was only a fraction of a second.

“Get lost!”

Yoosung instinctively rolled forward at the strong killing force felt from the nape of his neck and the loud cry.

squeak.

A few strands of hair fluttered in the air with the feeling of a cool breeze passing through the back of my head.

If I had been a little late in my judgment, I would have moved on to the second round less than 5 seconds after starting the first round.

But it was too early to be relieved.

Realizing that his blow had missed, the man fired a follow-up blow, and Meteor barely escaped the attack by rolling back and forth.

“It’s Naryaotagon! Fuhahaha!”

“Are you kidding me?”

Yooseong smiled at the man’s ridicule.

Synchronization is not complete, so the client’s abilities cannot be used, but the user’s abilities can be used.

Yuseong, who took out his heavenly hand from the subspace and put it on, bounced off his body and punched the man.

“Now really kill me… … .”

Kwajik!

The man who swung his sword vigorously flew away without being able to scream once.

For a moment, the people around the meteor hesitated.

That time was extremely short, and people soon became engulfed in battlefield madness and started swinging their weapons, but they did not approach the meteor as if there was an invisible wall.

Just a few days ago, they realized that their opponent was a master they could not match.

Yooseong started to take out other items from the subspace as well.

The situation around him was not serious, and he decided to wear all the equipment from the start, as he had decided to use the item sparingly anyway.

Yuseong, wearing nano clothes that were converted into long guns with a plasma ax on his waist and an elemental bow on his back, hesitated for a moment before putting on silvery-white cross earrings.

“It’s amazing. To think that something appeared out of empty space. I don’t think it’s a trick, but what the hell did you do?”

A heavy voice cut through the screams and clashing weapons.

When I turned my head to the place where the sound came from, I saw an old man wearing a blue uniform with a whirlpool.

[Synchronization with ‘Mukcheolyeong’ has been completed.]

[You can use the skill of ‘Muk Cheol-yeong’.]

Muk Cheol-yeong’s voice came from inside my head.

However, Yooseong did not move, and focused his whole mind on the old man in front of him.

An old man who walks up on a bloody battlefield without a single drop of blood on his clothes.

He could never have been an ordinary old man.

‘It’s a proper A-rank quest. It wouldn’t be strange if a monster that could kill me with a single finger appeared from the start. You can’t relax even for a moment.’

“Heh heh, why is there no answer? Could it be that you didn’t hear me?”

The moment the old man raised his hand to stroke his beard, Yooseong raised his inner energy and sent it to his legs.

‘I hit before I get hit!’

The opponent is a master whose ability cannot be guessed.

You have to put all your energy into a single strike.

shooting star.

With the explosion, the shooting star reconciled with a ray of light and was shot forward, and it was only when they were so close that their breaths could touch each other that the old man panicked and tried to swing his sword.

‘Wait, close range?’

I realized something was wrong, but the arrow had already been shot.

puck!

With a heavy destructive sound, the meteor’s fist pierced the old man’s chest and protruded from behind.

“Bee, you coward. in the middle of talking… … .”

The old man, who had been silent, fell to the floor like a doll with a thread cut the moment he pulled out his fist.

Yuseong, who alternately looked at the bloodied fist and the old man, muttered in an absurd voice.

“Why are you so weak?”

The old man was never weak.

If he had fought properly, even Yuseong wearing all the items would not have been able to guarantee victory or defeat.

There is only one reason why the old man was in vain.

It was because he was completely caught off guard, probably guessing that Yooseong wasn’t a master due to his enemy’s powers, his sloppy appearance, and his flat Taeyang blood.

However, there was no way Yoosung or the others knew about such a situation.

Looking at the result, Yooseong saved the life of an old man with just one match.

A heavy silence fell on the battlefield in an instant.

And after a while, someone muttered in a trembling voice.

“Mae, Maehwa Sword is dead!”
