Chapter 61 (1/2)
Cha Jun Sung’s expression is dark. It is ever since he picked up Kyoko’s call. He saw the mission written on his PDA and started worrying.
-[Level D Mission: Slayer’s Prison] [Goal: Annihilation]
-[Content: Slayers who became involved in crimes beat Lifers to death. A section survived, so they ran away to the prison but the Slayers followed them there and occupied it. Annihilate the Slayers and return the mission to its original state.]
-[Reward: 8000 points]
Annihilate the Slayers. According to Kyoko’s explanation, there are 4 Slayers.
It is unbelievable. There are 2 adults and 2 children, and the large child is about 2.5m large. Its attacking power would fit on the weak side of level 3.
“Even after ignoring the small child, there are 3 others. Are the heavens testing me?”
He had not known it would be so difficult to put trustworthy party members together.
If he accepts this request, he would go in alone or maybe have Park Jin Hyuk follow him in. It is a dangerous mission.
If Cha Jun Sung himself had been involved, he would have used his connection to ask Lim Si Hyun. He can just repay as much as he receives.
Strictly speaking, Koharu is an outsider. It is impossible to drag them into it when he himself is deciding whether or not he will accept.
Tick tock tick tock!
The second, minute, and hour hands moved. 2 hours passed as he contemplated.
He asked Kyoko to give him time to think about it. It may feel like she is being dried out by the second, but he could not act as if he is choosing from a menu at a restaurant.
“Kyoko will know the spot, right? If they’re alive, we can join them.”
There are 13 survivors including Koharu. If they join, there is added power. The goal is to quit and leave the mission rather than complete it.
“What do I do about Jin Hyuk?”
He searched Zephyrus in the PDA list. Should he tell him? If he has the Head Hunter, he could kill a Slayer in one go. He had seen the power for himself.
-[What are you up to?]
-[Playing a game. When do we go into a level D mission? Regular life is boring.]
Good. Should he tell Park Jin Hyuk that the candidates to join their party are stuck in a mission and ask if he would like to go into an 8000 point mission to kill 4 Slayers?
He could not get himself to ask. The level is too high. Saying it is giving him a burden. He does not want to use this method, but he needs to get an idea of Park Jin Hyuk’s thoughts.
-[A party candidate is stuck in a mission. Her sister barely got out.]
-[We need to save her!]
-[It’s 8000 points. The mutant that comes out is the Slayer. I’m going to say no.]
He is not speaking. It is a natural reaction. The difficulty of the mission can be guessed from the reward points and mutant name. Cha Jun Sung was also speechless.
-[How trustworthy is the person?]
-[Do you know why I liked solo plays more than parties in the virtual version?]
-[Because it’s more comfortable?]
-[As you know, the game is where troublemakers hang out. They do all kinds of things with things we can’t see. Lying and backstabbing are common.]
Cha Jun Sung is the respected Overload, but his network is weak.
The people he meets just pass by him. He did not contact anyone in the reality version and put in the legwork to find Park Jin Hyuk.
He does not have light friendships where he exchanges light chatter. Koharu is the only friend who he thought he would be able to trust in reality.
-[But I can’t risk my life for that.]
-[Let’s go.]
Park Jin Hyuk accepted the mission. He is not saying it recklessly.
-[We could die.]
-[You said she’s trustworthy. As long as we’re in Life Mission, we’re risking our lives whether it’s a 5000 point mission or 8000 points.]
The number of points judges the difficulty, but they could get unlucky. Life and death is decided upon entering.
-[You were just testing me, right? You said we shouldn’t go but were going to go by yourself?]
-[Hey.]
Park Jin Hyuk’s answer is 60 points. 40 points were really that he did not want to go in.
-[Is it the 2 of us?]
-[There’s a Japanese woman, Kyoko, who will also be going with us. She is that rare medic. I think I remember hearing that she goes to medical school.]
-[Her level?]
-[I didn’t ask. But she is Amhu’s little sister, so you think it’ll be low? She’ll have at least a few pieces of medical equipment from the level D store.]
Types of medical equipment are categorized as external, internal, and trauma injuries.
Of course, trauma injuries are expensive. How much was it? 400,000? 450,000? All intermediate procedures are possible without visiting the briefing room.
Arms and legs could be attached again if cut off. A medic cannot help but be respected.
What is more is that she is a medical student. If a doctor is a medic, he is led by a lot more medical knowledge than the average medic is.
-[Thanks.]
-[She’s a candidate to join our party. Since she’s my successor, she’s worth saving.]
Reward points 8000, mission name is Slayer’s Prison, Cha Jun Sung created a party. As soon as he created it, Park Jin Hyuk applied.
Woong!
Cha Jun Sung told Kyoko that they accepted. She was so happy she could jump, but was shocked that only 3 people including herself would be entering the mission.
However, it would take too much time to get in contact with Tanaka to get Anger’s guild together. They would need to go like this.
-[Ms. Kyoko, can you hear me?]
-[Yes!]
They are tied as a party. Park Jin Hyuk and Kyoko could hear him.
-[Leave the mutants to us and lead us through the fastest way possible. Since you’ve gone in before, our chance of survival increases if all goes well.]
They will enter the mission, work out their operation, and move.
-[We apply.]
-[Application complete. You are being sent to level D mission Slayer’s Prison. Mission start.]
Cha Jun Sung looked around him. There is nothing special. There are stairs going upstairs to lead outside at the end. It looks to be a subway station.
He went toward the stairs. It is a 1m rectangular iron door. It is a warehouse or bunker.
It is frustrating because all of the summons areas, indicated by the helpers, are blocked. They must think that completely closed areas are perfect.
Creak!
