145 # 136 Base area and hermit crab dishes.txt (1/2)

That's where we get the mysterious info. It seems to be an explanation of the base area. In summary, here's what it says.

To open the base area, you need to destroy the boss monster.

You can get normal monsters and food around the base area.

The number of normal monsters and food around the base area is fixed.

You can log out of the base area.

The base area will restore life and magic just by staying in the base area.

The base area will be targeted by event monsters.

The base area will become unusable if there are too many Event Monsters in the base area.

If the base area is hijacked, Event Monsters will emerge from the base area. The speed of the monsters will increase as time passes.

If the base area is taken over, the food around the base area will be poisoned. The base area will not be cured by releasing the base area again.

To free the base area again, all event monsters in the base area must be destroyed to free it.

This...is...delightful, but terrible.

'Well... could this event have been a defense event!

'I can't say that... it's definitely something we need to protect, but I think he's trying to say that after the ingredients are gone, we can let the event monsters take over and earn points.

Nah, I see... you could certainly do that.

Chiffon is convinced, but if you can do that, it's certainly one of your moves.

'The problem is that it doesn't say that the increased event monsters will only stay in the base area... if they go outside the area, the field will be full of event monsters and the rest of the base area will be in danger.

It means you can score points with a large number of monsters, but the risk of returning to death increases.

'I think the downside of coming back to death in an event like this is pretty significant,'

That still sounds like it would be better to protect it. The worst-case scenario would be if they take your base area and then don't free up any other base areas.

You'll be stuck with repeated battles and reduced satiety.

”Well. Where do we go from here anyway?

'Well... let's get the word out about this place and the base area first. We can't defend this place on our own.

Well... do you want me to send it to a friend anyway?

'And the bulletin board...I'll go for this one. Just in case my face works. Takt, could you take care of the defense?

I guess I'm in the right place.

I'm in charge.

Wow, I don't know what to...

”Chiffon has to gather ingredients. What about the regular monsters?

That's all right!　...maybe.

Maybe.

'The ingredients are going to be a player's war. We need to get them while we can, or we'll be in trouble.

You're right. I may have to gather some ingredients as well... since I'll need more of them than the other players.

When we decide, we'll all need to split up and gather them.

”Summon the Legion!

I call my summonses. Chiffon and Tristan-san are exclaiming.

''Wow... what is this?''

Defense, I'm starting to think you're going to be okay, Mr. Tact.

No, no, no, that's an exaggeration. It's not normal.

''Lily, love fire. I want you to join Toratetsu and the others in defeating the monsters around here and collecting the meat.

I got it!　Takt!

But I'll do my best, sir.

The Meat Gathering Team is Lily, Love Fire, Toratetsu, Gale, Byakuya, Foxx, and Lex. This is the meat-loving group.

Aeon, Setia, lead Konoha and the others in collecting apples and anything else that might be eaten.

Yes!

I'm on it.

The apple collecting team is Ion, Setia, Konoha, Hiyori, Yuu Fang, Sabik, Aranea, Himari, and Luna. I chose the children who seem to be good at picking apples. Yuu Fang is the perceiver.

Me, Grey, Chess, Black Iron, Locomoco, Airy, Puyosuke, and Root are the defenders. Grey, take care of the vigilance, okay?

Gow.

That should be okay for now.

'Wow, I... how do I...'

I've thought about it.

'Will Chiffon come with Lily and the others?　Lilly and the others can't take it apart.

'What?　That way I'll get the item, okay?

Since the three of us will be sharing the food anyway, we figured it was more efficient.

They are surprised.

'What?　Are you sure?

It's all the food Mr. Tact collected, okay?

''Uh... there are a lot of summonses, so we'll need to get more food.''

'I'm sure that's true. We'll talk to you about food after we gather it and decide.

Yeah, you're right...

For some reason, I have a feeling they're both pulling back.

Before I do, I tell them both the results of the demolition of the Rock Hermit Club. Then the reactions were terrible.

'Dirt means you're a dwarf girl next.

”Mo, I vote for the mole!

Tristan, my magic stone summoning isn't just for subhumans.

Chiffon, why did you choose the mole?

Mr. Tristan logged out. Chiffon headed into the forest with Lily and the others.

''We didn't do well at all in the boss fight, so we have to work hard.

Chiffon was fired up, but he had a bad feeling about it. Well, I asked Lily and the others to protect her, so it should be okay.

I'm going to make a hermit crab dish while I'm away.

Why would I make it? That's because they didn't have the cooking skills. I ask them why.

”...because it's combat-only.

Isn't it a matter of life and death if you don't have troops to feed, even if you're combat-only? Mr. Tristan.

'Wow, I don't have one either... but I do the cooking itself!

What does Chiffon appeal to you? If you're going to cook, why don't you take the skill?

So it seems I'm the only one who can cook, so I had to cook while I was away in the name of defense.

I heard I can eat hermit crabs, but I don't know how to cook hermit crabs. Is it the same way to cook crawfish, shrimp and crab?

Fill the pot with water from the lake. I did some tests, and the water looks fine. I magically turn on the fire.
