17. Strengthening internal stability (5)

“Why didn’t you go out when the chef was called?”

“Me, me?”

“Yes, you. Are you right for Chloe?”

“Yes....”

“From now on you will cook.”

[Chef recommendation list!]

[‘Chloe(★)’]

[Do you want to appoint ‘Chloe(★)’ as the restaurant’s chef? Existing chefs will have their positions canceled.]

[Yes (optional) / No]

That’s right Issel.

Good job.

“Kee, wait. I’ll make it again!”

“You lie when you don’t know how to?”

One notice is worthy of praise, but if it’s a lie that will be caught anyway, it’s better not to. The gazes of those in the audience, including Zena, grew cold.

The stare intensified when Chloe brought the potato dish. Chloe presented a variety of dishes that can be made with potatoes, such as potato salad topped with a refreshing sauce, grilled potatoes with butter, crispy fries, and a warm stew.

“It’s delicious! Potatoes come in so many different flavors.”

“Because there were various seasonings...”

Chloe shyly lowered her head at Jenna’s praise.

Dolph sat in a corner and said nothing. I said.

“Listen while eating. I won’t tell you twice. Do the same to the newcomers next time what you guys heard today. If you don’t want to see them die stupidly.”

I explained the basic rules of this world to the people gathered at the restaurant.

being a master. That we have to do our job to survive. The number of floors increases with each mission and can be released upon reaching the 100th floor.

I thought about it for a while, but he also told me about synthesis. It’s a fact that will come naturally anyway.

“Is that... true?”

“Believe it or not, you guys make the decision. Instead, you take responsibility yourself.”

Even though people were trembling with anxiety, it seemed that they somehow came to terms with it. At least there were no crazed or rampant ones.

“If you prepare hard enough, you can survive.

Jenna said in a lively voice.

“Are we doing something else?”

The young carpenter raised his hand.

“You and Chloe are carpenters and cooks respectively. You can help us in other ways.”

“I, I also work as a carpenter...”

“If the lie is exposed again, shall I recommend you as the first victim of synthesis? I think it will be a good textbook.”

Dolph kept his mouth shut.

It is true that non-combat jobs are more likely to survive than combat jobs, but this is not a place to be at ease. Seats are limited, and there is no guarantee that heroes with better skills will not be summoned. If he is pushed out of his seat, there is only one thing waiting for him. Therefore, even non-combat workers had to constantly hone their skills.

[Are you sure you want to terminate the connection to the master?]

[Yes (optional) / No]

[Then, goodbye!]

Amkena left the waiting room as if satisfied.

After the meal, the rooms of the lodging were distributed.

This time, I also decided to stay in this place rather than the original room.

“A level?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

All three are level 2.

The difference in stats with me is at least 7 to 8. It is more than a child and an adult.

However, if it was simply the difference in power, it wouldn’t have been so overwhelming. I am also far superior in additional abilities such as body vision and reaction speed. Perhaps it is the effect of agility.

And above all, skill.

An unknown power is correcting my swordsmanship. The cause was, of course, the low-level swordsmanship I had learned. You can instinctively feel where to draw your sword and shield and move your legs and arms.

‘It’s absurd.’

On Earth, this kind of achievement could never have been achieved with a short period of training.

On the other side of the training ground, Jenna is shooting an arrow while running. Every time the protest was pulled, a hole was punched in the humanoid target 30 meters away. That guy has already reached the lower archery level 5. The lower dagger skill was also at level 2.

On the other hand, Aaron is sluggish. I reached spearmanship level 2 a while ago, but haven’t progressed any further. He was the first to come to the training ground and the last to go back to his lodging, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have skills that he doesn’t have.

The three people in front of me each gained level 1 swordsmanship.

When these guys first came, they looked like wilted bean sprouts, but now they are playing as if they are at home. Perhaps because we are similar in age, we even got along by saying that we were older brothers and sisters.

Well, it’s better than squatting like everyone else. A few days have passed, but the remaining two haven’t come to the training center yet. It seemed to be looking for an exit.

Again, in vain.

Now I don’t even care

Do it yourself.

A few days later, the free 10-year draw was held once more.

I didn’t even have to step out this time. Aaron and the trio took care of it. In particular, Aaron volunteered to participate and greatly reduced the sacrifice of the first battle. Only one person died during the ‘weeding out’ process.

“There are more and more people.”

Jenna said while sucking on the candy.

A lollipop made by hardening sugar water, which Chloe made for Jenna who wanted a snack.

“There will be more in the future.”

I was laying my back on the sofa in the lobby.

Now I’m used to staying at the inn. If I don’t think I want to go to my room, it won’t appear when I open the door.

Jenna said after biting down on the remaining candy.

“By the way, Master, why don’t you go to the 5th floor?

I knew the words would come out.

It’s been quite some time since I cleared the 4th floor harpy and goblin section. In the meantime, Jenna and Aaron, the main party, have been destroying only the 4th floor. Other sub-parties were staying on the 1st or 2nd floor.

‘Of course I won’t go.’

The difficulty level rises rapidly with each multiplier of 5 layers. It was a kind of boss stage concept.

If you’ve seen Amkena’s strategy, you know that it’s a dangerous act to drive us to the 5th floor like this. Regardless of level or equipment, the number of people was insufficient.

‘I need 2 more people.’

A maximum of five members per party.

Candidates to join our party are probably two of the three. Because he is young, he adapts quickly. There was also the coming and the enthusiasm. Gide laughed and said that this kind of life would be better than eating in the field.

We’ll see if that thought continues.

The tutorial for Pick Me Up is over, but

the actual tutorial isn’t over yet.

To the newcomer who came in today, Aaron said that as long as he keeps his mind straight, he can survive unconditionally.

So far. up to the 4th floor.

I know.

How demonic the difficulty becomes after that. Even after being weeded out and training at the training center, how many times will I die in the future battle... Even I can’t guarantee that I can survive 100%.

There were countless trap missions with extremely low success rates, such as survival missions, even on the 10th floor or lower.

I didn’t bother to tell Jenna about this.
