Chapter 72 (1/2)
“Since his main weapon is the sword, don’t you think he’ll definitely have a vibrating weapon?”
He did have one. Until he dismantled it to put it in the cyborg’s stomach.
Woong!
The summons gate opened. Cha Jun Sung is entering. If a party is formed and the members enter a mission, they cannot break up the group or quit.
Is that why? The Lifers did not worry about this aspect.
“Hello. I am Overload. I’m embarrassed to meet you all in real life.”
“Hello!”
When Cha Jun Sung gave his introduction first, the others greeted him.
Awkwardness is the first emotion that Cha Jun Sung feels. For him to be the operator of the bus feels like he is wearing clothes that are not his.
The Lifers look all over Cha Jun Sung’s body. What could it be? They are examining his body to take a look at the famous Cha Jun Sung’s gear.
They look confused. His gear is mediocre. It is okay, but it is the type that can easily be found among large guild executives.
It does not fit in with what they had imagined and wished for the famous Overload.
‘His gear is…..’
‘Is it because virtual and reality are different?’
‘Maybe his gear isn’t much but he wins with control? It’ll be possible with Overload.’
They did not express it, but they had negative thoughts. Cha Jun Sung noticed this. He does not care. They will soon be shocked.
The cyborg comes through the summons gate. The Lifers’ eyes widened. The members entering the mission are a total of 10 including Cha Jun Sung.
“Huh? 11 people?”
“Overload, no Odin, who is that? Our party is full.”
The summons gate closed. The Lifers were more confused because it came out of the same gate that Cha Jun Sung did. How did 3 of them come from the same place?
“You were disappointed when you saw my gear? Let me give you an introduction. This is my cyborg, Hercules. It’s because I put all of my points into fixing this guy up.”
He had given the cyborg a name. Hercules, half god and half human son of Zeus and Alcmene. It is perfect for something that fights with strength.
“Wow!”
“Cyborg!”
The Lifers made a fuss, thinking ‘Of course! It’s Overload!’ Then they went to Hercules and started touching it.
It feels like steel or a rock. Not even a needle would penetrate it.
“It’ll be a lower cyborg since you opened level D, but will it be helpful?”
One Lifer threw a sharp question. The cyborg sold in level D is of a lower level. Even if it is well armed, it cannot take on more than a few level 2 mutants.
“It is of middle class. I was completing a mission when I was given the opportunity to get it.”
It is too early to say that he went into level C. There are chances of experiencing windfall in a mission, and he made sure to emphasize that point.
It is true that he did pick it up. He had taken something that was going to be disposed of.
“Wow! Middle class?”
“Then the abilities of a middle class?”
“After testing it, it seems to be able to take on a strong level 3 one-on-one.”
The Lifers did not have the energy to be surprised anymore, and their jaws were dropped. They have never seen a level 3 mutant because they are in level E missions. How strong does that mean it is?
A low class cyborg costs 150,000 points. Its efficiency is low compared to the price so even in the virtual version, it is only used as a shield or to carry the owner’s gear.
Starting with the middle class however, it has a lot of uses. Its price is incredible as well.
“I guess it’s only sold in the level C store?”
“I guess so since it’s not in level D.”
“400,000 points went into just fixing it. I’m sure it will.”
Cha Jun Sung responded to the Lifers. It is better to release some information rather than trying to hide it all. Word of it will spread anyway while he goes through missions.
“We will go in now.”
“Good!”
The Lifers cheered. The storm surrounding Hercules was tremendous.
“Hercules, go out and kill all mutants within a 1km radius.”
“Mission confirmed!”
Hercules went outside the building. The Lifers did not need to follow. If they hang around safe spots, the mission will be over.
Attainment or escape is difficult for Hercules with its limited artificial intelligence. The order to kill resolves everything.
“I’ve never ridden a bus like this!”
“How could this be! If the cyborg takes care of all of the mutants, there’s nothing for us to do?”
Cha Jun Sung is used to level E missions. If they get past the regular radius, there is the chance for a special mission. They need to decide on a distance and play within it.
“Is there anyone here who is willing to ride the bus long term?”
“How are you going to operate long term?”
“I intend to go periodically once a day at a decided time.”
4 Lifers held up their hands. It is a bother even trying to look for another bus. The other 5 did not speak. They were just going to ride the bus a few times and rest for a while.
There is one reason why he wants fixed passengers. He can buy the cheaper parts with a couple hundred points, but they can go up to a few tens of thousands later.
If Cha Jun Sung takes this on all alone, there is no reason to let other people on his bus.
He could figure out a few tens of thousands, but he will need external power beyond that. If he is to do that, he needs to find as many long term passengers as he can.
He is thinking of receiving a large part and letting them ride the bus a few times, or letting them ride a few times and then getting the large part. He is estimating that it will take 2 to 3 months to make 3 million.
