410 # 391 Bael Event Start and Preparation.txt (1/2)

When I got back to Leaping, I couldn't move, so I asked Lily and the others to help me put the items in my inventory. First, I put weapons, event items, and tools in my inventory.

I also put the Aquas water, wood and ingredients I bought into Sknavikona. Phew...I made it in time. In a little while, the event's starting information came.

'It's time for the event to begin. Forced transfer of event participants is now in effect.

We were forced to transition to the first island.

When we all gather, an image appears in the sky. A frog wearing a crown appears in the image. Is that a frog? Weak.

'Ahhhhh... welcome!　Come to my game!　Wretched humans!　I am the Demon King Bael!　Let me explain the game to you again.'

Why do you have a child's voice? Is the Demon King such a shortage of talent? Well, okay. Now, let's hear the explanation.

”You must now go to five islands that I have prepared for you to conquer. You will liberate all five islands, and you will win. If all five of your islands are destroyed, I win. How easy is that?

Don't go on a hunch...this guy. He's looking down on us.

The only thing that can make you feel better about yourself is the fact that you're not the only one. The monsters under my command will appear as well, so good luck with that. You'll need to be careful because the monsters don't always attack only the player.

So you're going to target a base or a ship. The rest is largely a repetition of prior information.

And finally, there was the matter at hand.

In the end, if any of you win the game, I'll recognize your strength and give you the benefit of the doubt.

It's the same as in Astaroth. It would come out as a raid boss.

'Well, let the game begin!　At best, you'll entertain me.

The game starts and everyone moves in unison. I, on the other hand, haven't eaten lunch. Well, I brought in the material, so let's call it good. I explained to Mr. Saba Can and logged out.

When I finished lunch and logged into the game, the number of players was gone at once. Now, I'm going to do some production work. I can't move, though, so it's Lily and the others who will do it.

For now, I've decided to have the kids who don't have production skills make a lot of ice. Here's the resulting ice.

Ice of Aquas: Rare Level 9 Material Quality A

Ice made from Aquas water. It is very effective in keeping the drink cold and does not change the taste of the drink even if it becomes water. It tastes great even if you eat it as it is.

I can't wait for the shaved ice. But for now, we have to be patient. I didn't get much water from Aquas, you know.

Well, let's start with the coconuts. I'll show Aeon and Koi Fire how to do it. There are three hollows on the coconut, and we find a soft hollow in this one and make a hole in it with a knife.

Once the holes are made, you turn it over to get the coconut juice. Normally you can only get it from a young coconut, but it seems you can get it from a regular coconut for this game.

'This is easy... and...'

It smells sweet...

Don't drink it.

You can't spoil it for me! Here's what we got.

Coconut Juice: Rare Level 7 Cooking Quality B

A clear liquid found in coconuts. It is loved by people on the islands and in the desert as a nourishing drink.

Once the coconut juice is removed, the next step is to crack open the coconut. Lily takes out her hammer after a long time.

'Good!'

The coconut cracks. The cracked coconut yielded pulp, germ and fiber. Appraisal.

Coconut pulp: rarity 7 food quality B-.

The pulp in the coconut. It has little or no taste, but has a texture and aroma. Nutritious, but not a favorite foodstuff.

Coconut endosperm: rare grade 7 Food Quality B-.

The endosperm in the coconut. When boiled in water, it can be used to make coconut milk, and when dried, it can be used to make copra.

Coconut fibers: rarity level 7 Material Quality B

Fiber from coconuts. It is used for ropes and nets because it is resistant to salt water. It's also used for clothes and mats.

The name ”coconut fiber” struck me as a cool thing to say. Now, when we all tasted the coconut pulp, our tastes were divided.

Setia and meal seemed to be the favorites, but the rest were subtle. I'm on the delicate side too. But this one is so good in a shake that I'll keep it safe.

Coconut fiber is where the Japanese fox and Aranea come in. They dexterously make the netting. And here's the finished product!

Coir net: rarity level 7 net, quality B

Equipment specially designed for fishermen and anglers. Fishing net made of coconut fiber. Ideal for net fishing in the sea because of its resistance to salt water.

Why this special equipment! Let the regular players do the same!

I had a rope made in my single-minded hope. Here is the finished product.

Konya Yarn: Rare Level 7 Material Quality B

A rope made from coconut fiber. Mainly used for ship's ropes etc. It can also be used as a weapon. In addition, it is widely used as a material for mountain climbing items and new weapons.

This is an item that is treated the same as a needle. Rope is a big deal. Let's get a lot of them made.

Meanwhile, Setia also struggles with new wood. We'll start with the orc, but I'm hoping it will be better than Baobab's staff, but first we'll have to get a lot of wood made. Here are the results of the appraisal.

Oak wood chips: rarity level 7, material quality B

A square piece of oak wood.

Well, it's not really a use for this one. But we've got the materials for the rune magic. All we need to do now is to build the rune spell.

I'll also get an oak branch from Setia.

”Dry.

The oak branches are dried and the branches are cut into small pieces with scissors. Here is the finished product.

Oak Smoke Chips: rarity level 7 Material Quality C-.

This material is used in smoked food. When lit, it produces an awesome smoke and an oak smell, so be careful if you don't like it.

It doesn't help that the quality is shabby... smoke chips are essentially made by machine. But now you're ready for some smoked food! Ah...oops. Didn't I have to stick with the smoke chips? Well, okay.

The yew tree is used for wands and arrows. They want to use the tusks of the hydra, so they must be vicious.

But they don't use the dragonwood. The reason is that it's a waste of money. There are only sapphires to be used as gems. You can't use it for a staff.

It is conspicuous when everyone else is producing them, so they were spotted by everyone. Yug and Sharrow were especially shocked.

''It's a new piece of wood!　And that's a lot!

'I got it this morning. I needed it for my trump card.

'You can't use up all that money, can you?　I'll buy it.

No. I'll use it all.

Yug screams at Setia's refusal. Mr. Mew and the others are calming him down. Sharrow-san, on the other hand, is still a net.

'Tact-san, this is...'

It's a net. I made one, but it's like a fisherman's special equipment, so I just left it there.

Or let me buy it!

Oh, what? Is it good? Fishing enthusiasts were not supposed to like net fishing. Then comes Mr. Mew.

The net is an item that shakes the very foundation of a fisherman or fishermen. Because the only thing this weapon says is that it's perfect for fishing.

I understood after being told that much. It's true that nets have been used for traps and such for a long time. So it's a weapon that can be used as both a fishing tool and a weapon. Mr. Shallow gave us some fish, and it's a useless weapon anyway. You're keeping it.

I'm sorry. I apologize for the hassle. You can thank me by choosing one of these items for me.

Exclusive equipment turned into a reward item!

'I'd appreciate it if you could exchange it for an event item. I'm looking forward to seeing you in a big way.

'Haha... that's a lot of pressure. But we have a harpoon, and I'll do my best.

Mr. Sharrow is motivated! Then Mr. Sharrow looks at the rope.

'By the way, what are you going to use this rope for?'

I want to ahhhh like a pirate!

I know!

The male players agreed. Mr. Sharrow is exclaiming. I knew everyone wanted to do it. Then Hikage focuses his attention on the smoke chip.

We can make a smoke chip out of it, that we can.

If you can make it, it doesn't seem much different than putting smoke in it normally, does it?

That's true...I have tried many things, that I have, but I can't seem to get a good one, that I have.

Well, a smoke ball is one of the most synonymous with ninja. If I could make one, I'd buy one. Then Mr. Lewin comes in.

”Everyone go back to your posts. Go back to your posts, the event has already started.

”Yes, Mom!

Oh, you guys... we talked about this beforehand!

That's probably not true.

The end was finally in sight as we all shared in the production work. I myself was in the middle of preparing the rune magic when the info came.

'The level of rune magic has reached 10. We have acquired the rune magic [Wind Rune] and [Fire Rune].'

I made it and used it as soon as I could. First, the wind rune generated wind like a windproof skill from a piece of wood. So it's a defensive rune magic.

Next was the fire rune, fire extended from a piece of wood to the target and ignited. This one is for attack. I have a feeling that wind will be more useful.

I made these as well, and all the production work was done. As a result, we got a lot of ingredients and rope. And here are the arrows Setia made.

Hydra's Poisoned Arrow: Rare 8 Arrows, Quality B

Weight: 30 Endurance Value: 60 Attack Power: 70

Effect: Increased distance (extreme), lethal poison

An arrow coated with poisonous blood made from the fang of a hydra and a yew. The effect of the yew tree allows for sniping at long distances.

It's a nightmare to have a hydra's poisonous arrows flying at a long distance. But this one could only make a few due to the convenience of Hydra's fangs. It's a complete trump card.

Then we get word from Ruin-san. He said that we've captured the first island. Furthermore, a large number of fish-type monsters seem to have appeared.

The time it took to arrive at the first island was about two hours on a fast boat, no fighting. Then it took about an hour to get to the boss's appearance point. They said that the horses were not able to use the rugged, rocky island. That's going to take quite a while.

The boss's name is Devil Clayfish. The Devil's Crayfish. Tetsushin-san defeated it with a single blow. He's fast, Tetsushin-san.

He left the first island's defense force from the fleet and proceeded to the second island while fighting the monsters.

'At this rate, will we be able to capture the second island at night?

'Well... considering it's the same distance, and we'll be stranded in battle, and some people will want to log out, I'd calculate to attack around 9pm.
