Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

# 241

241. Play some games (2)

The dawn when Amkena disconnected.

After finishing my personal training, I called Issel.

[What’s going on, Loki?]

Isel rubbed her eyes in her baggy pajamas and flew towards me.

It seems to have come from a sleepy sleep. Sorry to wake you up, but I had an urgent question.

I cleared my throat and explained the general circumstances.

[Aha.]

Isel nodded.

[You mean Master made a friend? That friend was close to Earth. By the way, my friend was dispatched as a helper shortly after starting the game?]

The system of Pick Me Up is quite complex, so even long-time players can get confused. One of them is the community system. Masters below level 20 could not use the community system. In other words, even if Amkena wanted to send me to Jinho-chan’s waiting room, that guy couldn’t because the ‘dimension gap’ hadn’t opened yet.

If the mission was not cleared up to the 20th floor, Jinho-chan could not receive help from Amkena.

But somehow now I had a dispatch order with the Lucette.

That means the order worked.

“It’s normal when a message pops up saying no. Isn’t this a bug? So I want you to look into it…” [

Oh, that’s not a bug.]

“What?”

Isel drew a large circle with his right hand.

Stardust flew around and a hologram window popped up in the middle.

[Enjoy Pikc Me Up with your friends!]

[Update for newbies by newbies of newbies!]

[1. Eh? They say they’ll spread it out?]

[Immediately give 2 Advanced Summon Tickets to new Masters who have completed the tutorial. A chance to get a 5-star hero for free! Start the game. Now is the right time!]

[2. Go with friends!]

[Sprout users struggling with difficult difficulty? Was it hard to watch? Worries NO NO NO! If you are friends with each other, even masters on the 20th floor or lower can use the ‘Dimensional Rift’ feature on a limited basis!] [

3. Invite friends and get rewarded Pak Pak Pak!]

[This event is for existing users…]

I read the notice slowly.

Part 2 is the problem. It was the part that said ‘Go with friends’.

‘If we are friends with each other… can we send dispatches to the 20th floor or lower?’

I stared blankly at Isel.

“When was it patched?”

[As soon as Loki reached the 50th floor.]

Issel cleared his throat a couple of times before continuing.

[That’s because the company had an emergency. Looks like a game that copied the concept of Pick Me Up is hitting the App Store. They are sucking in all the new users or something. To attract new customers…]

“The system has been changed.”

[That’s right.]

I grabbed my forehead.

I never thought I’d get slapped in the back like this.

The dimensional rift is a system that has been maintained since the game was released.

I never thought that it would change overnight.

‘It must be because it’s a game.’

It was both real and a game.

The rules can change at any time due to patches.

I seem to have forgotten about it for a moment.

“Then this dispatch is not a bug either.”

[Won’t we go to the master friend’s waiting room soon?]

I frowned.

I thought I’d have some personal time for the first time in a while.

[It’s a dispatch anyway. Thinking of going on vacation, I think I’ll just come back after resting. I don’t intend to sit there…]

“No. Never.”

[Hwiyu.]

Issel wiped his chest as if he was relieved.

Then he winked one eye at me and spoke in a cheerful voice.

[It’s none of my business whether or not that master’s waiting room, Jinho-chan, goes bankrupt, so go play to your heart’s content! Fighting Loki!]

Issel raised his right hand to me and disappeared while spinning around.

…I’m on my way to help.

‘It’s absurd.’

I let out a deep sigh.

I don’t know what Amkenna thinks, but the reason I’ve helped Master all this time was for me.

Because getting stronger in the Taoni language is directly related to my survival.

But this has nothing to do with my survival.

Even if Jinho-chan quits, there’s nothing I can avoid.

This case was pure volunteer work with no benefit to me.

‘I’m going to have to wait for some time.’

Amkena won’t expect much from me either.

Even if I go, there isn’t much I can do.

break the mission? It is impossible to belong to different affiliations. I don’t know if you’re re-challenging the cleared floor, but I can’t climb the tower instead.

At most to make a few suggestions.

It also required Isel’s help, and it was only possible if the Master accepted it.

Taonier was an unusual place, and there was little that an ordinary hero could do.

The scheduled departure time for the dispatch was early in the morning.

The distance between Amkena, who is on the 50th floor, and Jinho-chan, who is not even on the 10th floor, must be quite far.

It seemed like it would be a pretty tiring road.

Even if I go back to my dorm now, I won’t be able to sleep for less than three hours.

It would be better to sleep on the way.

‘Haa really.’

bored to death

I shut the door to the personal training room that was open.

It was morning like that.

‘….’

I boarded the express flight without even saying goodbye to the members.

[Dimension 003117 – Ram]

After some time passed,

we arrived at what is believed to be Jinho-chan’s dimension.

The name of the dimension is Ram.

A tower of endless height was built on the wide expanse of the blue sea.

Whoops.

The Lucette I was on board slid into the spinning dimensional vortex at the corner of the tower.

There is no dock here, so I have to jump into the whirlpool myself. It’s natural because the waiting room facilities are poor. It was nothing to be bothered with.

Well, if you kill time roughly, you will know that amkena is useless and send it back.

Just in time, the airship was flying right next to the dimensional vortex. I lightly jumped over the railing and threw myself into the spiral.

The feeling of falling that I had tasted hundreds of times swept through my body.

When I closed and opened my eyes, an unfamiliar yet familiar sight came into my field of vision.

dark room.

There is a showcase made of iron.

Large and small paper boxes were placed everywhere in the showcase.

‘Is it a waiting room warehouse?’

It was more like a barn than a warehouse.

Well, since it’s level 1, it can’t be helped.

Even Taoni once stored items in a place like this.

profit.

The warehouse door opened with a gloomy sound.

A cold wind brushed my cheeks, and a wide space came out.

It was the waiting room square.

‘The master is connected.’

The sky is flashing white.

It was an indication that the master was connected.

On Jinho-chan’s screen, an information window saying that a friend’s hero has arrived must come to mind.

However, since there was no reaction, it seemed that he was doing other things with the game turned on.

‘A hero is…’

“Wow, a very strong looking person has arrived!”

I heard a voice I didn’t know if it was exclamation or self-talk.

The sound of someone running.

I turned my head.

“Hey, mister. Can you see me?”

He is waving his hand in front of my face.

“You can’t see me, can you?”

I looked at the woman in front of me with my eyes wide open.

Age is high, but I’m in my early 20’s.

Purple cloak and gray skirt. He is wearing a white shirt.

She had her shiny light brown hair braided into two pigtails.

“My name is Cadia Leroux. What about you? Where are you from? I graduated from Serami Academy with the top honors…”

I slowly looked around the plaza.

I don’t see any other heroes besides this one.

“Well, I woke up after receiving a revelation from the Goddess, so here it is. No matter how genius I am, it was a bit embarrassing. After that, even…” “Hey.

”

“Green monster. Did you say goblin? I’ve only seen it in books…”

“Is there anyone else here other than you?”

“It’s nice with my magic sword…”

I grabbed the chattering woman’s mouth.

“Oops!”

“Is there anyone but you here?”

“Ah, Uncle’s been smitten.”

“Don’t call me Mister. If you don’t want to be beaten.”

“Do you call that hummer? Oba?”

I continued to think while holding the woman’s mouth.

The only one here is this guy.

If so, there is a high probability that it will be the hero that came out in the first draw.

‘It’s not 1 star.’

You can guess just by looking at the appearance.

It’s clumsy, but this guy has learned magic.

It meant a high-class hero of 3 stars or higher.

‘I don’t think he’s lying.’

If there were no heroes in the waiting room when this guy was summoned, it would not have gone through the synthesis with 1 achievement.

Then the possibilities are narrowed down to one. If the first 1-star hero died in a battle with a goblin.

It’s very rare, but not unheard of. This will skip the compositing tutorial.

“Where is Isel?”

“Isel? Who is he?”

“Overseeing the waiting room… No.”

I shook my head.

Why are you talking nonsense?

I decided to sleep or sleep in the dorm.

“Wait a minute, mister! Where are you going while we’re talking?”

“Leave this.”

“You seem to know something about this place, but can you tell me something? I’m not sure about the situation.”

“I don’t know either.”

“Wow, openly lying. Anyway! Whether you know it or not, don’t go. It’s boring to be alone all the time. Talk to me.”

clap clap clap.

I turned the doorknob of the inn.

but it doesn’t open

‘Is it because I don’t belong here?’

shit.

Are you being discriminated against for being dispatched?

“Open the door here.”

“I don’t like it.”

“…”

“Mister, no, I’ll think about it if you listen to me.”

Headaches started coming.

I sat down against the wall of the plaza.

I wish Jinho-chan would come and put him on a mission, but I couldn’t figure out what he was doing.

“Anyway, oppa also received a revelation from the goddess? Will you fight for Ram with me from now on?”

Judging from the reference to the goddess, this guy’s rating seemed to be at least 4 stars.

“3rd floor? I woke up to that point. I’m sure the Goddess said that she had a colleague, but I was always alone. I thought I was going to die of loneliness.”

I played solo until the 3rd floor.

Since the newbie event is happening right now, Jinho-chan was able to perform Advanced Summon twice for free.

But alone.

I looked around the waiting room one more time

. A waiting area given by default when installed.

It seems that the basic training center was not installed.

Here, I could see Jinho-chan’s play style.

‘I guess he doesn’t have much interest in games.’

I know this type because I’ve encountered it a lot.

I’m just doing it roughly, but if the game doesn’t work out or it’s not fun, I quit it right away.

And I’m looking for another game.

In a word, I was a migratory user.

Amkena was at least trying to find a strategy . I did it.

That’s why I set up the training center in the first place.

I reached the 3rd floor, but I didn’t pick a hero or build a facility?

It meant I didn’t have the will to play the game.

Maybe I’m playing another game with Pick Me Up turned on. ”

I think I’ll go to the fourth floor soon. I wish you could help me, but I’m good enough on my own. There was nothing special until the 3rd floor. I finished the 5th floor too…”

“No 5th floor.”

Cadia blinked and looked back at me.

“If you don’t want to die, train yourself. You must also have a colleague. Strategize well. Suggest a summoning when the Master returns. Ask them to make a training center.”

“Summon? Training center?”

“If you go to the 5th floor thinking like that, you’ll die.”

“It’s been easy so far…”

I kicked my feet as I got up. I jumped at Cadia

who was chattering and put my forehead on his forehead.

“What did I say?”

”

The summoning and training center…”

“Yeah. It’s a summoning and training camp. After a new recruit comes in, analyze his strength. Pick a leader and build a team. Practice as a team so that you can cope with any task that comes your way. Do it until you get to the 5th floor.”

“Oh, mister, that’s fast. I couldn’t see Aren’t you very strong?”

“You’ve become weak.”

“Yes? What…”

Click.

I pulled my dagger from the dagger sheath behind my belt.

Cadia

didn’t react until I hacked her cloak to pieces with five knife cuts

. fell on.

“What?”

“Okay? Even if there are a hundred kids like you, it won’t work for me. I came here much before you, so if you don’t want to die, just follow my words.”

“What did you just do? Is it magic?”

“It was just a quick move.”

“…a lie!”

“Don’t be irritating. Do you want to vomit at my words one by one?”

“Che, what did you say?”

This bastard… not to say a word.
