81 Outgoing Episode 5: Two Acts of the Original World

One month has elapsed since the beta testing of VRMMO "World Disaster Online", commonly known as "WDO", began. The beta test period is one month, so today is the last day.

Me, three East and Asai, who got a one-in-10,000 chance to participate in the beta test, logged in as soon as school was over every day and spent quite a bit of time in the game.

Currently, the three of us are in the process of attacking the Cave of Greed with an average enemy level of 150.

Beta testing for WDO says you can do almost 100% the same as the first release of the product version, and you can normally go in whether it's the 'Cave of Greed', also known as the last dungeon of the first release.

Of course, 'going in' and 'going home alive' are different things. Most guys die fast.

"Brace will be here in 10 seconds."

"Okay." Toughness, "" Shield ""

"GYAOOOOOOO!"

The Greed Dragon (Green Dragon), the final boss of The Cave of Greed, breathed heavily to exhale his braces. After Asai finishes his self-buffing with Eastern advice, the braces of the Greedy Dragon are released.

"'Guardwall'!

"Sorry to bother you."

Me and East hide behind Asai using a skill that broadens the shield's defensive range. The braces were taken completely by Asai, so there is no damage to the two of us.

Like many online games, WDO also sets players to choose a profession (job) for their adventures.

Asai's occupation (Job) is guardian (Guardian). He is a wall actor (tank) dressed in bee armor and equipped with a large shield.

Asai has very good eyes. And this goodness of the eye is not just simple vision, it also includes motion vision and so on, and the field of view is wide. And its ability also seems to be effective in VR games and is great as a wall actor (tank) that will accurately prevent attacks.

By the way, Asai's PN (player name) is' Arthur '. It's almost the realm of daisy, though it's worth naming heroes and such in the game.

"So, here's the offense next." Blizzard ""

The occupation (job) in the east is a wizard (spellcaster). He wears a black robe and carries a cane.

Activate the highest level of ice magic in the current situation, chanting behind Asai, towards the Greed Dragon.

The PN (player name) to the east is Ease. I'm taking it from East (Hissing).

"GYOOOOOOO!"

The Greedy Dragon (Greedy Dragon), which has been stiff for 5 seconds due to the recoil of the brace, cannot be defended.

> 5092 damage.

"This will increase the recoil time by another 5 seconds! Gene."

"Leave it to me!"

I rush out to the greedy dragon. From here on out, it's my job to be an avant-garde attacker.

My profession (Job) is Kensei (Swordmaster). It is an attack specialist with high attack power and travel speed. He is a lethal combat maniac (battle junkie) who cuts in with minimal protective equipment, such as a breastplate.

PN (player name) is Gene. Brilliantly, they are all real name PNs (player names).

"'Sword Dance'!

Activates the skill of a continuous attack, with 10 slashes hitting the Greed Dragon.

> Critical. 2051 damage.

> Critical. 2366 damage.

> Critical. 2124 damage.

> Critical. 2310 damage.

> Critical. 2097 damage.

> Critical. 2189 damage.

> Critical. 2227 damage.

> Critical. 2007 damage.

> Critical. 2211 damage.

> Critical. 2130 damage.

Naturally all deal 1.3x damage critically.

For the record, the Critical Rate due to 10 Continuous Attack Skills' Sword Dance 'and my current status is 5% per hit.

After two hours of intense fighting, the HP gauge of the Greedy Dragon (Greedy Dragon) finally went to 0 and vanished as it became a particle of light.

Along with the boss's crusade, a drop item is stored in the storage of each of the three people. It doesn't publish who gets what drop items, so it can be a source of trouble for some parties.

"Okay, you're finally done. Arthur, Tank, good job."

"Ha, I'm tired. I'm fine with my body because it's VR, but I'm mentally tired..."

I wander Arthur, who has been a tank in the avant-garde for two hours.

"Good luck. But you feel like you're wasting something because you defeated the corner boss and you don't get 1 EXP..."

"In the first place, me, Ease and Arthur are at their highest levels, so there's nothing you can do about it, right?

Our level is currently 150. It is the maximum value of the first period release.

WDO will have up to 6 people per party. I'm doing crazy things like breaking dungeons in the same level zone usually by half the party.

"That's right. We're here for an item."

"So, Gene, how was the key drop item?

You ask me, Arthur, naturally.

If these three partied together, they'd drop me almost 100% of their valuable items. There's nothing wrong with asking me first.

"Uh, 'Demon Sword Grid' is your first fixed reward. Other than that, the most precious thing about random drops is... 'The Jewel of Life'. Is this an item that can be resuscitated without Despena? Then" Ingots of Orihalcon ". It's a material item for production."

"Oh, you're still concentrating on Gene's... I just have regular consumer items..."

"Same goes for me. But it's not about Gene, is it?

I got two people to show me their storage, but all the brilliantly off items are dropping. If you think about it in terms of the amount of the sale, it wouldn't be less than a tenth of mine if you put the two together.

"Right...... Looking at Gene puts the existence of 'probability theory' at risk"

"Huh? 'Probability theory' is the kind of discipline that bad luck guy thought of to comfort himself, right?

……

In response to one of my words, we both turned our backs in silence. Why...

We should both know that there is such a thing as' probability theory or something pointless' in my theory...

"Well no. The Devil's Sword Grid is a one-handed sword, so can I have it?

"" No objection ""

Neither one of us uses a one-handed sword, so I got it. That's a replacement because it's stronger than the weapon I'm using right now.

"I want the Ingots of Orihalcon."

"I want the treasure of life, so it's just fine."

Depending on the party, we basically publish and distribute everything, even though there are rules that say "drop items are people's things."

Given the nature of beta testing, holding large quantities of rare items individually is not a very good idea.

We appropriately divided the items apart from the three big guys and decided to return to Player Town around the end of all distribution.

It's a beta test, so not so many people in Player Town. That said, if you're walking in the city, you're not quite like that number of players.

"Oh, isn't it Arthur? Let's have another adventure together."

"Oh, see you next time"

"Arthur! Now where have you been?

"Oh, I've defeated the Greedy Dragon (Greedy Dragon) in The Cave of Greedy"

"... Seriously"

"Seriously."

"Arthur, you say you come to the weapons maintenance every once in a while. You're not forgetting, are you?

"I didn't forget. I like your arm, so it won't deteriorate inside. That's why we go less often."

"... Next time, let's get out of my way"

"Please don't."

"Just kidding."

Mostly speaking to Asai. Most of them were players who had adventures with Asai. When you're not adventurous with us, Asai mixes naturally with the players there.... only the most sociable of the three. In addition to "good eyes," he also has "eyes that see people," because he's a ton of demonstrators.

"That's a helper king, isn't it?"

"Are you doing the same thing as real"

"Sort of."

Of course, even in real life, that skill is showing up somewhat, and it is pulling on the helpers of the department's activities. Because of their height and power, they are constantly solicited from the athletic department.

Among the stories I've had with Asai, our party has become quite famous and is treated as one of the top players. Only three of us are taking the first offense of a number of dungeons, so naturally...

There are also numerous races in beta testers known as abolitionists. It is specifically about people who do not participate in society. Aside from that race, I don't know if ordinary students like us are top players.

At least, we don't know what other player we've leveled.

Of course, there's a little karaki in this. Simply put, it is a fast leveling using a bug in the EXP table.

It was after East reported the discovered bug to the operation that he made a gorilla profit during the period until the bug was corrected. Bug reporting is obligatory, but the terms didn't say don't use the bug afterwards, so I didn't hesitate to let them make money.

"I shouldn't have a bug. If a bug exists, it should be used. You have to make sure you can't do what you don't want to do from the start."

This is one of the eastern theories. It is a thing that should not be made into a situation where any squid can do it. You can do whatever you're not banned from doing. I'm free to ban it later, but I won't allow you to take what you've gained by then. and radical inside.

"But there's also the possibility that you can suspend your account, rewind it, and get your hands on it from the operation, right?

It doesn't say in the terms, but I just asked east because the possibility is not 0.

"Yeah, of course, I'm wearing protection. If you try to put your hands on my data, the whole system will go down."

"" Scare me!

It was just hacked.

"Oh, don't worry, because we're also protecting two avatars"

"When..."

"Gene...... Give it up because this is where Ease is now."

After such an exchange, we have reached level 150, which is less than our predecessor.

Incidentally, the bug we used is that when we attack an enemy immediately after popping with an error of less than or equal to one millisecond in time, we can defeat it in one shot and pop it again immediately after. It lasted about five hours accurately until it was interrupted.... Asai.

The fact that he was losing his vitality from Asai's face in the second half would not be of particular concern. It's good to have an equal share of experience.

"It was a dangerous place, wasn't it? I'm glad I managed to clear the Cave of Greed by the end of the day."

"Oh, it's definitely easier to keep Gene's" Devil's Sword Gried "or something inside the beta."

East cuts out stories like that at the home we bought at our party.

WDO beta testers are given considerable preference. One of them is data takeover from the beta. Of course, you can't start off with a powerful weapon and level in the second half of the beta.

Simply put, it's 'easier to get back to where you reached with beta' stuff. First, the acquisition experience is doubled until the level reached at the time of the beta is reached. This makes it easier to get it up to its original level.

And when it comes to items, you take over some depending on the level at the end of the beta.

However, it is not possible to use it from the outset, but a number of conditions need to be met and liberated.

You have to think carefully about what to take as conditions become more stringent than rare items.

It is like having a less rare item and putting on a starting dash or taking it to use the thoughtful item I have struggled with beta one day.

By the way, we are currently in the process of being set up to take over in the player home.

"You took over all the rare items I got today. Neither Ease's" Treasure of Life "nor Arthur's" Ingot of Orihalcon "are quite valuable..."

"That's right."

"Naturally."

Players who attack a dungeon for the first time will receive a special first offense exclusive item. In this Cave of Greed, it is the Devil's Sword Grid.

Pre-announcements say the first tactical exclusive item turns into a super low probability drop item after the first tactic. In other words, it is overwhelmingly easier to get it in the first attack.

And it's even more overwhelmingly easier to get it with less people beta.

"To a certain extent, you're going to take over low-rarity item enhancements so you can start dashing."

"Reinforcements don't add to the takeover conditions, do they?"

"Yeah, so since the takeover conditions went public, the blacksmith's demand has gone up the eel. Someone I know seems busy."

Even low-rarity items will have some abilities if enhanced.

And because the terms of the takeover do not include enhancements, there is no reason not to enhance the items for the start dash.

Occupations such as blacksmiths, where items can be enhanced, have been very busy since the release of details about the succession.

In the first place, since it is beta testing, it is natural that there are few production jobs, but only demand has increased. There are so many customers that they don't even log in.

"Arthur's blacksmith (") reinforced it as a matter of priority. "

"Right. Thank you very much."

"Now you can afford a startup dash."

Arthur's connections are useful at times like this.

The three of us are outfitted with enough boost value to afford at the beginning.

"No, not in my case..."

"Oh, speaking of which, it's almost the season of the Society..."

I also remembered in the line East said sighing.

"Yes, a week after the official release"

"Wow...... Seriously. Yabe......"

"It's a real hassle. Well, if you think this is also to have a fun student life, it's the thing that you can put up with. Ha..."

East is smart enough not to have to go to high school anything.

East attends high school, if I may say so, is my eastern self. Instead, they are obliged to announce any results at overseas societies once a year. This year he said he wrote a paper on AI in about a week or so.

"Speaking of which, what did you announce last year?

"It's a VR system"

East answers my question lightly.

"" Yes?

"So I made an announcement of the underlying theory of the VR system used in this game"

……

Me and Asai, who are out of line. I didn't think you were a part of this game.

"Well, hacking is easy too..."

"It's only a basic theory, so it has nothing to do with the development of the game. Well, I'm good at hacking originally..."

I don't think that's a good thing to say in your mouth.

"Speaking of which, it looks like a new bug was added to yesterday's update. I was hacking and I discovered it."

"That's a mess."

It must be quite important because the east says so.

"It's so dangerous, I decided to patch my avatar on my own"

"You like it too much..."

That's right, Asai is also stunned. I can't seem to say 'now' exactly.

"But if you leave this bug, you can't log out or something deadly."

"What's that scary?"

It's usually a lawsuit bug that you can't log out of VR games, right?

"Don't worry, I'm also hitting the patch on the two avatars"

"No, I'm not at all relieved."

"Oh, you're okay with this game going on?

To be honest, I'm anxious to keep playing games that leave such deadly bugs unattended.

"At least we're absolutely safe. Besides, honestly, I can't do it publicly because it's a bug that I found out after hacking it, right? Oh, don't worry. This conversation log has been replaced with dummy data."

"Ease is too omnipotent and scary"

"Don't say it, Gene. Because you're a monster enough."

"Arthur can't say much about people either. Normal people can't stab flies flying with claw twigs, can they?

A strange space has arisen here, where monsters call others monsters.

"All right, now you're ready to take over."

"Yes, all you have to do is wait for tomorrow's official service"

I finished setting up the takeover, so I no longer have anything to do today.

You can't go on an adventure halfway because the items you take over will no longer be available.

"Well, I'll just come around and say hello to my fellow Beta players."

"As always, Arthur is a shark."

"That's just sociability."

"No, you guys are gonna be normal this much, right?

"" I won't... "

I say with all my voice to the east.

In the first place, I don't have someone close enough to say hello. If I "know a friend" who put Arthur through it when I blabbed him, I would do a lot of it......

"Coming, and you guys coming?

"" I'm not going. I'm not going. ""

"We're good friends, you guys..."

"I'm already going to log out"

"Oh, so am I."

It's Friday and the time is around 10: 00 at night.

Beta will end at midnight and official service will begin tomorrow at noon.

It seems that some beta testers will have a banquet until beta is over and forced to log out. Of course, Asai will also participate in it.

Me and East are not going to participate. They are two tough spiritual bearers who don't care if they say they're not close.

"Tomorrow, after the first little gathering, it's okay as usual, right?

Two people snort at my confirmation.

"Right. All three of us act differently."

"Yes, as usual"

The three of us worked together to advance the offense because time was limited during the beta.

But there's no reason to rush as fast as it did when Beta was in the formal service. In the first place, the general dungeon has been attacked...

It's Theory that the three of us don't really act together in the first place.

When the three of us are acting, it really takes shape to suit the other two. But if you're acting for three, you have no idea what's going on with the other two with too much personality right now.

It is our 'as usual' to enjoy it.

For the most part, the level or knowledge is east. I collect rare items. Networking is supposed to be outrageous for Asai.

"See you tomorrow"

"Good luck"

"Oh, goodbye."

Thus, our last day of beta testing ended.

The next day, the day the official service begins.

"I am the true GM (Gamemaster) of this world. That authority has allowed me to seal your logout. From now on, you will be asked to participate in the Death Game. Naturally, there's no veto."

In a voice that echoes the entire VR world, one of the GMs declared:

"What is this!? You really can't log out!?

"What's a death game!?

"No way, are you really going to die!?

"You're kidding me. It's our wedding tomorrow! Get us out of here!

Many players were crying and complaining. The last one is not very sympathetic. Don't play the day before the ceremony.

Naturally, the three of us have been logged in since the day of the official service.

The first thing East said when he heard that word......

"I thought it was a rational and manipulative program"

It's here.

You, weren't you set to be a genius?

"Patch of Ease. Sounds like it's working in the official version..."

"Oh, Arthur's fine too..."

There's usually a "Logout" button left on our menu screen.

"Well, shall I log out"

When we logged out of a death-game that couldn't be logged out, we patched other people's VR machines and cleared the death-game with them all alive.

The producer who was planning the death game was arrested and the game was normally all recovered. Too bad it was quite interesting.

A week later, East went to the Society to make an announcement without any misgivings.
