Chapter 136: Base area and hermit crab cooking
There we were greeted by a mysterious message. It seemed to be a description of the base area. Here's the summary.
Defeat the boss monster to release the base area.
You can get normal monsters and normal food around the base area.
The number of normal monsters and food around the base area is fixed.
You can log out in the base area.
Recover vitality and magic power just by being in the base area.
The base area is targeted by event monsters.
If more than the specified number of event monsters gather in the base area, the base area cannot be used.
When the base area is hijacked, event monsters will appear from the base area. Appearance speed increases with the passage of time.
If the base area is hijacked, the food around the base area will be poisoned. Releasing the base area does not cure it.
To release the base area again, it will be released by annihilating the event monsters in the base area.
This is...delightful, but terrible.
"Emm...could this event have been a defense event!?"
"I'm not so sure...there's no doubt you need to defend, but I think it's trying to say that after the ingredients are gone, you can let the event monsters take over and earn points"
"I, I see...you can certainly do that"
Chiffon is convinced, but if you can do that, it's certainly one of the moves you can make.
"The problem is that it doesn't say that the increased event monsters will stay only in the base area...if you go out of the area, the field will be full of event monsters and the other base areas will be in danger"
"So you can earn points with a lot of monsters, but the risk of dying again increases"
"In this kind of event, the downside of dying again would be quite high"
In that case, it's still better to protect it. The worst case scenario would be if the base area is taken and the other base areas are not liberated.
You'll be stuck with repeated battles and diminishing satiety.
"Emm. What should I do now?"
"Oh well...let's start by releasing information about this place and the base area. We can't defend it by ourselves"
"Right...let's send it to our friends"
"And the bulletin board...I'll take care of this. Takuto-kun, can you take care of the defense?"
I guess Im the right person for this job.
"I'm in charge"
"Wh, What should I do..."
"Chiffon, gather ingredients. You can kill normal monsters, right?"
"I, I'll be fine! ...Probably"
Probably?
"The ingredients will be fought over by the players. If you don't get them while you can, you'll be in big trouble"
That's true. I'm going to have to start gathering ingredients too, because I'm going to need more than the other players.
If that's the case, let's split up and gather them together.
"Summon Legion!"
I summon my summoned beasts. Chiffon and Tristan were speechless.
"Uwa~...what is this?"
"Defense, Takuto-kun, I have a feeling you'll be fine on your own"
No No, you're exaggerating. It's just impossible.
"Lily, Koihi. Go with Kotetsu and the others to kill the monsters around here and collect meat"
"I'm on it! Takuto!"
"I, I'll do my best...!"
The meat gathering team consists of Lily, Koihi, Kotetsu, Gale, Byakuya, Kitsuneko and Rex. This is a meat-loving team.
"Ion, Setia, you lead Konoha and the others in collecting apples and anything else that can be eaten"
"Yes!"
"I'm on it"
The apple gathering team consists of Ion, Setia, Konoha, Hiyori, Yuuga, Sabik, Aranea, Himari and Luna. I chose the ones I thought would be good at collecting apples. Yuuga will be the detector.
"Me, Gray, Chess, Kurogane, Loco Moco, Airy, Puyosuke and Route will be defending. Gray, you'll be on alert, okay?"
"Gau"
I think we'll be okay for now.
"I, I...what should I do..."
I've thought of everything.
"Chiffon, can you go with Lily and the others? Lily and the others can't dismantle"
"Eh? That would make me get the items?"
"Since the three of us will be sharing the food anyway, I thought we should be efficient"
The two girls were surprised.
"Eh!? Are you sure?"
"Is it the food that Takuto-lun collected?"
"Ah...there are so many summoned beasts, we'll have to get more food than we need"
Of course, medicine is necessary for survival. But you know...the taste flashes back to the past.
"For now, we just don't have to worry about starving to death. You know how you get points for giving food to the producers?"
"Ah!? That's right"
"Let's split up from here. We'll cooperate when it comes to defense"
Hmm? Why is that? Chiffon asks me.
"Eh? Can't we be together all the time?"
"If you rely on Takuto-kun and earn too many points, you'll be hit?"
"Uh...that's definitely scary"
Ah...that's what's going to happen...that's definitely scary. After that, we each had to gather the ingredients.
