Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 92



Episode 92 Player (4)

The vacant lot began to stir with the reveal of the nickname.

I closed my eyes for a moment and took stock of the situation.

First of all the Elfnuna they are talking about.

It’s the nickname I used.

Without thinking much I named it that because my character at the time was an elf.

and….

‘I’ve even written a compendium of stats…’

Was it around the third year?

I felt like it was a shame that I had to go through all the trouble to organize it by myself so I saved it and posted it on the bulletin board.

As expected from a mangame bulletin board I remember that the number of views did not exceed 100 even after a year.

however.

‘Why is everyone looking at me like I’m treating someone with a rare name?’

Come to think of it she told me earlier that she was her fan and all.

Why?

She said the last time she was in that community was maybe five years ago.

‘…I became famous without even knowing it?’

Whatever the cause I came to a conclusion.

I became famous.

We can gradually find out why it became famous.

Because we have gathered enough clues to deal with it right now.

“Oh you misunderstood.”

A time of about 3 seconds.

After understanding the situation I smiled brightly and waved my hand.

“I am his fan. If you read the nickname carefully you will understand. It’s not an elf sister it’s an elf nuna. “Nunna.”

It was a good thing that one spelling was changed because of the nickname duplication.

Because I hate receiving unnecessary attention.

“Oh now that I think about it….”

“The nickname is different.”

Men look at my nickname again after hearing my words.

“It’s Elfnunna! Not Elfnuna!”

“Was it an impersonation?…”

“Of course it can’t be like that. “She said she was Korean so I expected a little bit but….”

Soon they exhale as if they are exhausted.

Some people look at it with a slightly unsatisfactory gaze perhaps because they feel they have been deceived.

“Haha if you’re a fan you can do that!”

The room leader ‘Dark Man’ smiled and moderated the atmosphere and gave us some rules to follow in the room.

Is it necessary to call each other by their honorific title?

There was nothing particularly worth remembering other than the fact that if you attract disruptive aggro you will be expelled.

“Then I’ll just leave and you can talk freely. “It doesn’t matter when I leave.”

The atmosphere that welcomed new arrivals was short-lived.

People go back to their original positions and talk about random things here and there.

As I was thinking about where to go a white man approached me.

He was a player with the nickname Pink Guy.

“Elphnunna how old are you?”

“Oh I’m in my first year.”

Actually it’s been 5 months but I think people might look at it strangely if I say I came here too early.

However the answer that came back was unexpected.

“Really? “I see you received the letter quite late?”

“yes?”

“Well it is said that only a few people receive letters after gaining fame and most of them receive them in the early stages when they make themselves known.”

“okay….”

“Elfnunna seeing as I’ve finally received your letter I guess you’ve been acting well. “I started out as a human and was carrying luggage when I received a letter.”

“Oh yeah….”

“Anyway once it’s been a year you’ve only been there for about 70 days… I guess you know what’s going on these days right? “How about there?”

I don’t know if there was an incident worth mentioning so I asked back as if I had misheard.

“70 days…?”

I obviously just said it’s my first year.

But why is it 70 days ago?

Pink Guy continued speaking with a sad expression on his face.

“Oh if this is your first time you won’t even know. “The flow of time is different in that world and this one.”

“Different?”

“yes. “One month on Earth is about five months here.”

Simply put it means a time ratio of 1:5.

As soon as I heard it I had a strange feeling.

‘It’s only been a month….’

I’m glad that less time has passed but I wonder if they’ve been reported missing.

There should have been someone looking for me outside of work.

Afterwards as I continued to chat with the man named Pink Guy I was able to hear various stories.

“How to get back? well. “I heard there is a lot of speculation…but nothing is certain yet.”

Even players who came here much earlier have not been able to figure out how to return.

The founder of Ghostbusters is a man who has been around for 20 years.

“Isn’t it amazing that you cleared that game 5 years ago?”

“That’s right.”

The more new information I hear the more I feel defeated.

Does it feel like your pride as a person is collapsing?

Whatever it is isn’t it true that in the end everyone here is an expert who reached the gate of the abyss before me?

‘Even though they look stupid on the outside they are actually great people—’

“So Elfnuna what mode did you wake up in?”

huh? How many times?

As I looked at him as if I had no idea what he was talking about the man added.

“It’s not like they broke the original version and Elfnuna didn’t break the remake version either. What speed mode did you use?”

No even if you say that I don’t understand…

A remake?

“Would you understand if I told you it was a pirated copy? You know that. “A game file that allows you to adjust experience points and drop rates that was posted on the Stone Iven bulletin board 5 years ago.”

uh….

Was there such a thing?

Soon Pink Guy spoke with pride that he couldn’t hide.

“Oh I’m not bragging but I broke it by 50 times.”

How can there be so many people who have beaten this game?

It was a moment when a long-standing question was resolved.

***

[Dungeon and Stone].

The game that took 10 years of my life to finally be able to enter the final boss room.

While I was playing I had many thoughts about how a game of this level of difficulty could exist.

but….

‘You can set the maximum experience value to 100 times and the drop rate to 100 times?’

What kind of crazy scam settings are there?

Until now I didn’t even know the max level was 30.

Even if you catch all the monsters that come out of the labyrinth level 11 is the limit.

‘Wait a minute does this mean that if the max level is 30 you can feed 30 essences to each character?’

To be honest I can’t even imagine it.

Isn’t this a level where you can just stick to everything without having to give up anything or choose anything?

I felt like a fool thinking about the best combination while thinking about the synergy of each essence.

From what I’ve heard it even seems like cracks which are the key to growth can be opened at any desired time…

‘If the drop rate was 100 times the number items would just be pouring out.’

Thirty integers.

And a super munchkin character armed with all kinds of Noble Phantasms.

Five such characters come together to form a party?

It’s clear that if you hit it with a primordial dragon a lord of destruction or a leviathan that you caught after hundreds of tries it would have been overwhelming.

“So Elfnuna how many times did you wake up?”

“…I have 50 times as much.”

“Oh I see. “Wasn’t it difficult?”

It’s not that difficult.

With these conditions I’m confident that I can clear it in one go no matter what kind of event occurs such as a dimensional collapse or something like that.

but….

‘If I say that it will be my loss.’

As soon as I gained fame a demon hunter came looking for me. Excessive attention can be poisonous. It is foolish to take risks by showing off someone.

Let’s not do anything flashy and just find out what we need to know.

“How many times did the person who created this place use the ship mode?”

“Oh him? Don’t be surprised when you hear it. You cleared it in 15x mode. “It would have been possible since you were the original user.”

“Fifteen times… I see.”

I thought it was something that should be surprising so I pretended to be surprised. For reference Pink Guy said that the average value of players is 60 to 80 times…

It was only after hearing those words that the conversation of people laughing and chatting from afar began to sink in to my ears.

“Haha isn’t this a truly ridiculous world? I still haven’t been in a crack. “In the game you just had to click.”

“Huh that’s right. “If it’s this hard to get into the crack how can we get to the last floor…”

“I heard it was a game with a lot of Easter eggs so I should have been paying attention to those things.”

Players lament and compare the remake version they have played with reality.

It was worth it.

This is a reality version with a higher level of difficulty than the original.

“Whoa….”

A deep sense of desperation washes over me.

Seniors who beat this game before me.

Thinking about that I was trying to console myself by saying that I should somehow find something to learn from rather than putting it down…

Doesn’t this look ridiculous?

“Elphnuna?”

“sorry. “I was thinking about it…”

After that I continued talking with Pink Guy for a while.

In doing so I learned things that are common sense that an average player would know and I became more aware of how this community works.

Also one question was resolved.

‘Remake… So the game started to become popular again as the copy was being circulated and my nickname also became famous….’

In many ways the conversation with Pink Guy was beneficial.

It was kind of fun too.

“Ha I wouldn’t have any other wish if I could eat just one slice of pizza… Elfnuna is there anything you would like to eat?”

“Coke and soup.”

“Soup and rice? “What kind of food is that?”

“It’s the most efficient food I’ve ever eaten.”

How long has it been since we last had this conversation?

***

After chatting a few words with other people I left the new room.

Finally Pink Guy asked if he could add me as a friend and I politely declined. He was definitely a nice guy but I didn’t want to be friends with him.

Even though he was nice to me he was too nice to me.

Just like you would treat someone you like.

‘Anyway I think I know everything I need to know now…’

Even after returning to the room where the computer was I read bulletin boards and notices cramming random information into my head.

So now it’s time to achieve what we came here for.

‘Let’s learn about dimensional collapse.’

Tapping on the keyboard I checked the timer written in the lower right corner.

What was initially 12 hours has already been reduced to 7 hours.

Even if you don’t log out the space will close when time runs out so you had to hurry.

[exchange]

Use the mouse to open the exchange page.

Here a service was provided where information goods etc. could be purchased with Ghost Point GP.

Simply put it is possible to obtain goods or purchase rare items using GP.

but….

‘As expected it would be best not to touch this.’

I decided not to use this function as much as possible.

In the case of goods they must pass through reality.

No matter how complicated the brokerage system is.

Even if the system seems quite safe.

In the end since real objects come and go in reality there is bound to be a point of contact with me as a barbarian.

[Owned GP: 0]

Therefore the option to recharge GP with real money is also a pass.

Of course you need GP to purchase information about dimensional collapse…

It wasn’t a big problem.

Because you can be self-sufficient here.

Click click click.

Use the mouse to apply [information] filters among exchange items. Then change the category to [Purchase Request].

Then countless questions appear.

[20GP] Is there an easy way to get to the 2nd floor?

[100~500GP] I’m training to be strong and would like to know how to train strong from the beginning.

For easy questions less GP was offered as a reward.

but….

[7000GP] I would like to know about the special events for each staircase of the 4th floor of the Tower in the Sky.

[2800GP] I would like to know exactly how the passive skill ‘Dragon Master’ is judged.

In the case of in-depth questions the rewards at stake were large.

Therefore they were sorted in descending order of price.

Because that’s the most efficient.

[70000GP] How to conquer the 1st floor tier monarch. No joke.

[69000 GP] Please only talk to people who know more about Skull Island on the 6th floor.

1st tier lord?

[I requested a 1:1 conversation with TacitRonin.]

[Transaction completed.]

[Owned GP: 70000]

Skull Island the hidden piece element on the 6th floor?

[I requested a 1:1 conversation with Bro_78.]

[Transaction completed.]

[Owned GP: 139000]

There is nothing I don’t know about this game.
