Chapter 129: Star Fall (12)
==========
- D. Asset3315 : Notice This is the Area Chatroom for professor Gyosu Park. Please take in note that any severe criticism or spamming with lead to repercussions from the Dome Streamer Support Branch.
==========
- aiosye2222 : What an interesting character.
- Somebodyhellme : Yeah. It isnt easy for an autopilot to do that well.
- Nigromaa : Doesnt he have it too easy though? He put his character on auto and hes still streaming and getting donos? Gyosus one hell of a sellout.
- arms5275 : How dare you little youthful motherfer to mention the great sir Gyosu Parks name like that!
- Adagio : You think its easy making your character like that? Trash noobs like you wouldnt even know what trials he went through to get to that level!
- arms5275 : Its always those scared wusses that say those things! Bastards like those guys should get their intestines pulled out to hang their useless bodies!
- CalloftheTax17 : We have confirmed your nickname and all activities on the Community. Solemnly prepare your will, Nigromaa. The days until the church visit you are not far.
==========
These guys dont even need me to be playing to fight each other.
Checking the area chatroom right after getting into the game pod, Gyosu tried to suppress the unpleasant feeling and entered the second chatroom.
==========
+ Player professor has entered the chatroom!
- arms5275 : I swear, if I ever meet that guy, Ill skin him alive and dry it for jerky to eat with whiskey.
- professor : Hello. Gyosu here. I have a question I wanted to ask.
.
.
.
.
- Andante : Woah.
- yobananaboy : the real one? the real Gyosu Park?
- Nigromaa : fr? frfr?
- Hitchi! : G, Gyosu sir! Uh. Im also a solo survivor near Area 47! I live a, alone and f, female. so please come check up my generator sometime!
- Whitesmith : Professors here!
- sheony : G, Gyosu sir! I live in Area 42! Please message me if you come near here!
- D.bioteam : Forgive us for asking, but when will you be available for a visit?
- CalloftheTax17 : EVERYONE SHUTUPPPP!!!!! HE HATH SAID HE HAS SOMETHING TO SAYYYYY!!!
==========
Halt!
The chat that was scrolling up at a speed I couldnt read stopped like it was paused. It felt like the blinking cursor on the screen was urging me to hurry up and talk.
This is why I didnt want to come here. Theyre too much.
This isnt going to work. I was thinking of buddying up with some of the useful ones, but Im just gonna say what I need to and ditch this place.
After roughly scanning the messages above, Gyosu carefully started to speak.
==========
- professor : Uh. first of all, thanks. Its nothing big, just looking for someone.
- Andante : Gyosu Park is. looking for someone?
==========
The chat quieted once again. And bursting out into that silence was an explosion of reactions.
==========
- Andante : Are you looking for a person?
- browknee : Is this the rumored BDSM recruit? I did think they would slowly start to expand..
- Whitesmith : Area 41! Call me Whitesmith sir! I cannot reveal detail information on the Community but I am a part of a group of 7 survivors! I have learned a bit of metalworking during the war! I can cut through anything with the right tools!
- sheony : Area 42! Solo survivor! Im a single woman in her 30s! I am currently selling wheat I grow in a small greenhouse connected to the shelter! I can kill people too!
- handymandy : Area 45. Leader of Scavenger team of 24. I dont like boring ones like the Dome or whackjobs like the Raptors, so just wandering around at the moment. Looking at the path BDSM took recently, I believe this would be a satisfactory place to be a part of. I trust that you know what it means for a group of over 20 members to have survived in this world, so Ill be expecting a positive response. Ah, for the kids, theyre all good at different things, killing people being a basic of course. Their farming skills are on a completely different level of specialization compared to those normal survivors who just dig through dirt. Through expertise in several different fields, we disassemble buildings and extract core resources, decompose and refine collected scraps and put them up on the Marketplace.
==========
The chat got all excited amongst themselves, and a list of self-introductions appeared like it was some sort of interview.
Well, this is a mess. I didnt mean it in that way.
Reading through them was more interesting than I thought, but because leaving them be would make the rumor that were finding new members a new fact, I quickly continued talking.
==========
- professor : Its not that. I wanted to check if anyone visited our shelter recently. Someone keeps on leaving scraps at our doorstep as protection fees.
- Andello : I, Its me! I left them there! I do not know the nearby geography.. but do you know the building debris with the big red X drawn on it? I moved into the building next to it!
==========
Oh. I thought that I had seen a message similar to that before, but I found it faster than I expected.
==========
- professor : Ah, there. You cant find anything better than that if you dont have a shelter. Good spot. Thats one down. Anyone else? I heard there was three.
- Andello : One is probably my wife! We visited separately so you dont mistake it as an attack.
- professor : Then two. Is that everyone?
==========
There were a bunch of messages, but most of them were about whether they were really going to protect them, or that they were disappointed that they were that kind of group, and other useless side talk.
- Shared incredibly deep personal conversation during camp : Increased Bonds Borka Dalrune (Maxed), Ottman Bodlair, Aldrich, Notum.
~~~~~~
There it is. Meaningful conversation and incredibly deep personal conversation. What exactly did my character talk about? The autopilot mode usually progressed in the route as close to the normal Players actions as possible. My character. Who just turned twenty and made it through all sorts of harsh trials like a chad. What personal thing would that sort of character talk about at night with his close companions, emotions amplified by the campfire and starry skies?
Heheheh. I didnt know that Captain was such a romantic man. A woman of the desert is waiting for your arrival.
[At the end of where those stars she taught me point, is where I will meet her. Her name, lets say, is Rakshasha. Her real name is only mine to keep.] Ahahahah! How touching of a story! Professor, when this war is over, why dont you quit everything else and become a bard?
You deny it, but I can sense through my entire body how excited you were. Have hope! You said that woman called Rakshasha was quite powerful amongst the Desert Kingdoms, so you might actually meet them in Kingsland! We came into this tavern because you strongly insisted that this place was connected to the Moon Shadow.
Ohohohoh! To see that you can find such a small thief guilds mark with just a glimpse of an eye! The power of love! You cannot ignore it! As it is one of the emotions that rings ones heart the deepest! Ahahahah!
Bang!
Listening to Aldrich tease him with his raspy voice, Professor slammed his head into the table. He couldnt bear to look up.
Damn it. I thought we just traveled!
Thinking about it, ever since he played as the character Professor, his life has been a series of crises and problems. If he was asked about a happy moment in his life, there was just one. When he looted the mage tower with Rakshasha. His experience with her and the kiss that she gave him were engraved into the mind of the character called Professor, and with the warm night vibes of a campfire, flowed out on its own!
==========
- takealook : Hey, prof. You look busy outside, so just leave for a couple more days, can you? Your characters one hell of a streamer LMAOOOOO
- Speedwagon : It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the Players character is an ego created by the Players mind. So even if Gyosu Park pretends hes fine, hes actually starved for affection in the inside.
- Noru_is_druig : Look. How nice is it being honest? Now, lets forget all of the eyes of the world, and switch this to an 18+ only stream. Rakshashas opulent bosom! Her curvy body! When the water that splashed on her from the rafting trailed down her tanned skin, and she twisted up her hair. Ahhh! Im gonna go rewatch the recording!
- Jokass : Careful, youre gonna wear it out.
==========
Ahh. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
This is embarrassing. So fing embarrassing!
The entire world knows [Age 24 / M / Gyosu Park / Zero Dating Experience] now! I was wondering why there were so many messages emphasizing that theyre women or asking, Wanna go see my generator? in the second chatroom; its because they saw this! Oh, mother! Your sons marriage chances are over! Hes known as the national cherry boy now!
Tap tap.
Professor raised his bloody forehead because someone tapped his shoulder. A man who seemed to be the owner of the tavern flinched, then pointed at the large dent on the wooden table.
Clink
[Paid 300 sil]
Ah, the cold, harsh reality. You never leave a moment to yourself.
Whether I felt sad or not, the world continued without me.
Yeah, forget all of that! The real me will solve the problems in reality! Im not Gyosu Park right nowIm Professor, half-mute with a weak-ass body! Warrior Professor!
I quickly wanted to bury away those terrifying memories. Another memory; cover it up with some other shocking thing.
For now, he decided to check the other things on the log aside from autopilot Professors shocking confession!
Danglter is the village where the dark mage used to be. My report that we defeated a high-ranking dark mage probably had an effect, but with the western front in shambles, the importance of the land that Ive secured in the east got that much more important, which is probably why they sent people out this quickly to set up an outpost.
[Mmm I dont think theres much of a problem here. You are doing your job well, but since all you use as an excuse for the source of detailed information is I heard it from the Queen, they dont completely trust you. But even with that, for an autopilot character, isnt it a pretty big plus to get authority over the churchs secret intelligence branch?]
Thats true. The system must have approved that a lot of my playthrough was solved with my tongue. Looking at how even my autopilot character has a silver tongue.
First of all, it was an incredibly good thing that Borkas relationship status was maxed out. His objective was to use the churchs intel to find his kidnapped children after all. Since our status has peaked now, he probably shouldnt leave me even after finding his children.
Intercepted messengers horse so this was why we got here early. I thought that all of the horses would have been collected for the war, so we would have needed to walk the whole way back.
But he must have still had some moral left in him since he promised to deliver the message as well, and looking through his inventory, he found an item called [Messengers Desperate Letter].
Lets see [The Dinsfer Kingdom cannot send reinforcements due to a sudden civil war. Atuan Saegans group, found as corpses after being ambushed by an unidentified being. Due to sudden declaration of war from the Fordyce Kingdom, the three city-states, including Tenuim and Shuron, were unable to send reinforcements] No wonder the messenger tried so hard to deliver this news. Our mute buddies must be moving along busily right now.
That looks like a military letterare we allowed to open it like that? Even though you are a Warrior?
Of course we cant, but of course we should. Its a letter with a nobles stamp on it, and the messenger was in a hurry to deliver it to the point he was close to fainting. How can you not open it? You just dont need to get caught. Who am I? Im a mage!
Grinning at Borkas stunned face, Professor started to return the letter he finished reading to its original state.
First, he rolled up the parchment paper and tied it. Adjust the half-torn seal back in its place as close as possible, use a drop of water to create a soft copy, then melt the wax in the candlelight and press down the water drop mold
Voila! Ma-gic! Looks just like new, right?
The parchment letter that has not been opened was complete.
Looking at that, Ottman gripped his forehead and let out an exasperated sigh.
Look at him. Water magic is known for its pure images, and yet he manages to utilize it in such a way
Keheheh! Just call it creative magic!
It is a good thing. A man with skilled hands is popular with women.
Yep, yep. Our captain would get all the love if there were any women around.
Ughhhh! Please! How long are you going to tease me with that for?
Gwurh. It is not embarrassing thing. One day, big small human will find female who is attracted. I dont like though.
Dont comfort me, Notum! Thats even worse!
==========
- Noru_is_druig : ??? : Youre a good person. There is someone out there for you. But not me.
- Jokass : 0 Confessions 1 Rejection LMAOOOOOOOO
- takealook : Its easy killing a Type 3 mutant but dating is hard LOLLLLLLLLL
==========
It wont go away. No matter how many times I change the subject, these people are going to tease me for days, heck, weeks with this!
Euh, ahhhhhhhhh!
Surrounded by mocking laughter on all sides, what Professor ultimately chose was
Kahahah! Where are you going? Romantic young man!
Hes going to look for a tree hole. Positive.
Escape. Behind him, who ran out of the tavern with a crimson-red face, was a broken swinging door, an even angrier tavern owner, and his group, handing him more silver coins.
