This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 176

Let’s find it slowly

Even if you get caught, it’s enough to just fight.

Yooseong, who found Jeomsoi bringing food, swallowed his words behind his back.

“The food you ordered is here! have a good meal!”

“Come on, let’s eat.”

“I will enjoy this food.”

To be honest, the taste of the food was not good.

Aris has been eating various foods from the Earth since Meteor and Mystery, which have become accustomed to msg, have been improved and can feel the taste.

Somen noodles and roast duck were not enough to satisfy the taste buds of the two.

However, Yoosung and Aris continued their meal with smiles.

“How are you feeling?”

“No problem. If I had to pick one, the Dragon Heart’s magical power was more ferocious than expected, and it was difficult to control even with the Demonic Eye of Truth?”

“If you think something is strange, just tell me. You are more important than beating the quest.”

“Yoosung!”

“The body can be repaired or remade, but the dragon heart cannot be obtained again. If something goes wrong… … . Ugh, I hate to think about it.”

“Yoosung… … .”

“It’s a joke, a joke.”

Yoosung smiled mischievously.

Through the battles of the past few days, Aris’ combat power has been fully verified.

“I was worried that there would be a problem because it was my first real performance, but I’m glad I did. So now I have to think about what to do next… … .”

In order to completely clear the [Finding the Treasure] quest, you must get the treasure of Cheonma-dong and return to your family safely.

The problem is that the exact location of Cheonma-dong is unknown.

‘The same jangbodo that started to be discovered a few months ago. All the important information has been damaged, and the only things that can be recognized are the four characters of Tongtian God and the topography of Dongting Lake?’

It’s a trap.

It is also an obvious trap that anyone can see.

However, the legendary heavenly horse that unified Murim in the past, Jangbo-do of Tongcheonsinma Haecheongyeong, blinded people, and Moorim was thrown into confusion due to unmanned soldiers seeking treasure.

The battlefield that Yooseong experienced when he started the quest was one of those confusions.

As hundreds of thousands of various warriors gathered from all over the world wandered into one area, of course there was inevitable friction, and a large-scale rotation was held in a nearby jingju to cover the right and wrong and eliminate competitors.

‘Once you look at the quest, it’s clear that Bidong exists. The problem is, I can’t even guess where it is. Seeing that hundreds of thousands of people have not been able to find it even after months of searching, there is a possibility that it is in a place that cannot be found by simple methods, or in the worst case, it is in a completely different place, not Dongdong Lake.’

Yooseong drank the bamboo leaf extract in the glass at once and continued his thoughts.

‘You shouldn’t be obsessed with non-dong. Let’s think about it from a different perspective. Who, for what purpose, spread Jangbodo?’

He would not have gone through the trouble of making Jangbodo and scattering them all over Moorim without any purpose.

There is a clear purpose in spreading Jangbodo.

I don’t mean to cause confusion in Moorim.

If that was the goal, there would have been a better way.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know. The only thing that changed because of the spread of Jangbo-do was the gathering of people at Dongdong Lake… … .’

“for a moment. Could it be that gathering people at Dongting Lake is the purpose itself?”

Why did you try to gather people?

The reason could be understood by looking at the current situation of Dong-ho Dong.

Hundreds of thousands of unmanned soldiers are constantly scouring the Dongting Lake area.

The person who spread the newsletter is using hundreds of thousands of soldiers to search for Dong Dong Lake without spending a penny.

‘If you know the exact location, there’s no way to use this method. The criminal’s shopping cart must also have been damaged. What you’re looking for won’t be something like an object. That’s because the person who found it just takes it and goes away. No matter how many people there are, it can’t be physically moved at all. Even if you find it, you can’t do anything with the power of an individual or a small number of people, so you have no choice but to reveal your identity to those around you. There is only one thing that satisfies these conditions.’

non-dong.

I don’t know if it’s the Heavenly Demon’s or someone else’s, but there’s Bidong somewhere in Dongdong Lake.

At least someone who spread the newsletter believes so.

After finding out the purpose, the identity of the culprit was also naturally guessed.

‘As long as it’s not something to kill and give to others, of course the culprit will also aim for Bidong’s treasure. In other words, there is a criminal among those who enter the rain. I don’t know how many people will fit inside Bidong, but you have to overcome them to claim the treasure, so you must be pretty confident in your skills or form a group.’

“Have you eaten?”

“Yes. Yooseong-nim, don’t you eat more? I had somen noodles and half of the roast duck left.”

“I remembered something urgent. You can finish and eat.”

bang!

Yoosung put down a silver coin on the table and stood up.

It was too much for the price of food, but it was worth it because the money was taken from the pockets of the dead Volcanoists anyway.

‘Mukcheolyeong.’

-… … .

‘Cheol-young Muk?’

– Hick? Did you call me?

Yooseong faintly frowned at the servile voice that came from inside his head.

Muk Cheol-yeong, the client this time, had a very weak and servile personality, contrary to his wonderful name.

Still, when the synchronization was completed for the first time, he pretended to be strong, but after flying in the sky with Aris or defeating the volcano wave’s chaser, he lost his temper and didn’t say anything all day unless he spoke to him first.

‘Didn’t I say there are openings and openings in this world too?’

– Yes, yes. But they probably don’t know anything about Jangbo-do or Cheonma-dong. How many people are looking for Opening and Haomen?

‘Do I not know what you know? What I’m asking is something else. Tell me where to go to meet them.’

-Mmm, all I know is openness. All you have to do is approach the beggar with a string knot tied around his waist and ask to buy some information.

‘Just say you want to buy information, right?’

Yooseong, who was walking around, found a beggar tying two knots around his waist in a corner alley and sneaked closer.

“We don’t know anything about Jangbo-do or Cheonma-dong, so just go.”

I was rejected before I could even speak.

Yooseong said with a little effort in his voice to the beggar who didn’t even look at him.

“What I am looking for is not information about Jangbo-do or Cheonma-dong.”

“Hehehe. Then don’t say so. What information do you need?”

“Information on forces and masters to be wary of in the Dongjeong Lake area, and the area where people have finished searching. For now, this will be enough.”

“Well, the number of people is not one or two, and the second information includes a map, so it is quite expensive… … .”

“How much?”

“Four gold pieces, no, five pieces.”

The price went up, but Yoosung didn’t care and took out a pocket from his pocket and threw it.

Open degree, who received the pouch, checked inside and widened his eyes.

“Give me ten. Get it as soon as possible and with the most accurate information.”

“Wait a moment, Daehyup!”

The opening degree that shouted loudly called another opening degree nearby and whispered.

I don’t know what he said, but the opening degree that heard the whisper disappeared somewhere at a speed that left an afterimage, and after a while, he appeared with a wad of paper and parchment.

“Go take a look!”

Yuseong left behind Open Island, bowing politely, and moved out of the village to a place where there were few people.

If it had been during the day, everywhere would have been crowded with people trying to find Cheonma-dong, but fortunately it was late at night, so I was able to find a place where there were no people.

“Aris, please watch your surroundings for a moment.”

Yuseong, who entrusted Aris with vigilance, took out a new item from subspace.

A long, cylindrical object reminiscent of a mortar.

Its identity was a portable satellite launcher, an item obtained as a reward for the [Encroaching City] quest.

Yooseong, who mounted a metal orb the size of a child’s head on the launcher, activated the device.

Dismissed!

The satellite disappeared high into the sky, leaving sparks and blue flashes instead of explosions or flames.

After a while, a video of Dong Dong-ho, taken by a satellite, appeared on the dedicated terminal.

Yuseong then took out the map received from the opening and compared it with the map of the terminal.

‘As expected, there’s quite a difference.’

No matter how much effort is put into it, man-made maps can never match the sophistication of satellite maps.

When the searched area marked on the map created by the opening was calculated as conservatively as possible and transferred to the satellite map, the difference more than doubled.

“First of all, move this to another place and sell it to the opening again… … .”

“Yes? Are you selling? Wasn’t that why we were looking for Bidong?”

“… … why are you here Aren’t you vigilant?”

“I checked, but no one is there? So why are you selling it?”

Yuseong, who discovered Aris’s pupils, which became smaller and larger like a camera lens, replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

“Because I don’t think there will be Bidong on the ground.”

It’s less than a year for him, but as a result of interrogating Mukcheolyeong, he found out that it was more than a thousand years ago that Haecheongyeong rose to the level of demons by the standard of this world and unified the Wulin and established the world of magic.

It is not known how long Haecheongyeong has been active, but at least the time when Bidong was made would be hundreds of years.

“Think about it. I made Bidong not in a remote place where no one lives, but in a place where there are a lot of people. Even now, hundreds of thousands of unmanned soldiers are scouring the area to find Bidong. But you still haven’t found it yet? Which is higher, the possibility that Bidong is near Dongting Lake and not found, or that it is in a completely different place?”

“… … Maybe the latter?”

“right. There’s only one thing, I’m going to spread this map and help people search more carefully, but the chances of finding Bidong on the ground are extremely low. The location of non-consent I think is over there.”

Aris, who turned her gaze to Yoosung’s fingertips, let out a small exclamation.

“It’s under Dongting Lake, not near Dongting Lake.”

“You made a cave under the lake?”

“You could have made it yourself, or you could have found the original cave. Anyway, the place we need to find is underwater, not on the ground.”

“Wow!”

“So please take good care of me in the future.”

Aris, who was clapping and cheering, tilted her head at something strange.

“Me, Yoosung? You just said, ‘Please take good care of me in the future’. What do you mean by asking for good things?”

“What is it? It’s a non-dong search. The catalog specs Sophia sent me said that you can work without difficulty even at 3,000 meters underwater.”

Aris, who was looking at the meteor with blank eyes, turned her gaze to Dong Dong-ho.

A vast lake that is as dark as pitch black and unfathomable.

You say you have to search there yourself?

The carefree voice of Meteor was heard in the ears of Aris who was in despair.

“This world has a huge time scale difference, so even if it takes several months, not a single day will pass on Earth. We have a lot of time, so let’s find it slowly.”
