Solo Clear Chapter 6

After reading the first nine pages of the guidebook, there was a lot of information on how to survive in this place.

If I am the only one who has this information, then it is possible for Me to strengthen faster than anyone else.

"5,000 genies?"

"If the six of us gather all the Geny we have, it will be 12,000 Geny. We are willing to give you half to make a deal with you. "

It seems like the person behind me can't buy a guidebook.

Since I confirm that there is only one copy available, it is a clear result.

"With 5,000 Geny, you will be at a much higher profit when it starts. I saw various weapons and shields being sold in the store. They are not that great, but you will have a good foundation to start with. "

Without knowing the type of information contained in this book, Kim Byung Chul tries to make a deal.

Reason reassured.

If it was someone else, they would have made the mistake of agreeing to the deal.

"How about buying it for 22,000 Geny?"

"…What? What are you talking about? Do you know how to do simple math? There are six of us here and the maximum amount we can offer is 12,000 Geny! "

Kim Byung Chul looked confused.

No matter how much money they tried to raise, they would not be able to give such a large sum.

Of the students here, they might think he's unusual.

"Excluding myself, there are a total of 11 people here. The hiking group had six people, while the college group had five people.

Adding them together will give you 22,000 Geny. "

"… Are you telling me to get their money too and offer it to you?"

"Do you think that's a bad deal? I just started reading this, so technically, it would be the same as not reading a book. If you buy this book from Me now, then that information will only be yours. "

"Do you really think that book is worth 22,000 Geny?"

"I'm not the one who determines his value."

There was a moment of silence.

There were no words spoken, but through their eyes, it seemed like they had made a decision.

"Ha ha ha!!"

Kim Byung Chul suddenly laughed out loud as he tilted his head back.

"You're a crazy kid. Try adding the value of one book with 11 folds. Ha!!"

"Is that weird?"

"Nobody would think if they were sane. I'll give up on the guidebook. I may be able to convince others who are with Me, but convincing those students will be difficult. ”

Kim Byung Chul completely gave up on the guidebook.

I think he's great enough to laugh at her instead of getting angry at that ridiculous request.

"Well, now I'll be able to concentrate."

The first stage will open at 9, so I decided to keep reading until then.

There were some people who visited the store from time to time, but there were no meetings between the groups.

No one's meddling in my business either.

“The first stage will open 10 minutes from now. Players who want to explore, prepare yourself. '

Every time I hear the word "player," I feel like I'm in a game.

I felt struck by the fact that realistic people were placed here to play.

Including me, the others are preparing to enter the first stage.

"It's lighter than I imagined."

Instead of choosing a weapon, I decided to go with my instincts and choose a shield.

It is a simple round protector that you can see in any video game.

All I have to do is tie the leather strap that's fixed on the inside and I'm done.

Others buy healing potions or antidotes with their Geny, but.

Since I bought the guidebook, there's nothing else I can carry.

However, the amount of knowledge I gained cannot be compared to that.

"The dimensional door will now open."

I heard the door open.

It looks like it's really unlocked.

There are two requirements to enter the stage.

Use of the Weapon Selection option provided and the time set.

One can explore twice a day. Once at 9am and once at 9pm.

It is up to the individual whether they want to go exploring or not.

Whether it was on the same day, on the next day or if they had no intention of entering, they did not have to and could undergo the first stage.

However, if one decided to do that, they would have some difficulties.

Water and food are the most important items for survival.

It would be difficult to last for long with three 500ml water bottles and two energy rods.

People can get trophies from the stage and sell them to stores for Geny.

Using that Geny and buying the items needed was the rule to survive in this place.

"Watch your back as you enter the stage."

It sounds like Han Ji Suk told me that out of revenge.

What would he gain from constantly expressing a grudge against me?

Amongst the people, Choi Min Ki was somewhat the best, but now, he looked at me with disdain.

All I did was leave the group.

I didn't know this would cause everyone to hate me.

The smallest affection I have towards them has now been cleansed.

The climbing group entered first, then the student group and I entered last through the door.

"As expected, dark."

The ceiling is slightly above 2m and is connected to a very narrow road.

Most of the members in the climber group chose to use the sword, putting them in the worst situation.

It's so dark that it's hard to see anything in front of you.

In the guidebook, there is information related to the first stage.

The first stage is the Prase Mine.

The name Prase comes from broken quartz, which has a bright green color like emerald.

Placing my hand on the wall, I slowly walked down a strange path.

While walking down the path, I saw a small light in front of Me.

The candle is placed as a guide on the path where Cobalts pa.s.sed.

That is, this is one of the pathways that Cobalt uses.

The size of cobalt is really small and is known as one of the weakest monsters, but.

The playbook mentions that one should never let their guard down.

It is mentioned that it is common for inexperienced beginners to be surrounded by Cobalts and eventually be annihilated.

The explanation of the book is written as if the author experienced it himself.

That's why, in order to get used to this place, I decided to explore carefully on the first day.

Click, clack, click, clack !!

I heard footsteps from the right path.

"He he's. I managed to steal the quartz while the supervisor wasn't looking. Look at that."

"What if you get caught? The watchdog whip is no joke."

"We don't need to be caught. Stupid jerk. With the money we pay each month, we won't have anything left after we spend it on food and lodging."

Two Cobalts pa.s.sed by while having a practical conversation.

I never imagined that I would be able to understand the monster conversation.

"I might have to fight them."

If I let them pass, they'll join the others.

Two monsters seemed like a reasonable amount to fight.

After a long sigh, I ran towards them.

"Huh?"

One of them felt Me and turned towards Me.

Placing the shield in front of me, I stormed and pushed Cobalt against the wall.

From Cobalt's strange-looking head, green blood started seeping out from him.

"Hu ... man !!"

The remaining cobalt tried to blow the whistle hanging on his neck with all his might.

If they blow that whistle, then all the Cobalt around it will know that there is a threat and run over here.

Bam !!

I kicked his chin with all my might.

"Armh !!"

The way Cobalt starts rolling resembles a porcupine.

Their main weapon is the tool they use to dig out quartz, which is a pickaxe.

I took the pickaxe Cobalt had in his hand.

"Wait !! I have a wife and children. My mother became sick after my father was killed by you humans !! Look at this."

After reaching his pocket, Cobalt took out a picture.

It was a photo of the Cobalt family, but everything looked the same so it was hard to tell who it was.

This battle would end with a single attack.

It makes no sense that I hesitated to kill this Cobalt.

"d.a.m.n it. Why can't you resist like a normal monster?"

"You're a fool b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How can I beat you myself?"

Gosh, what kind of monster begs for his life because they have a family to take care of?

It began to beg on its knees right before we started fighting.

Am I in some kind of sitcom?

"Ri .. true. It's a very expensive item. It is called quartz and is quite large in size. I'm sure you'll be able to sell it at a high price."

Putting the quartz in front of me, Cobalt begged for his life again by putting his hands together.

Grabbing the quartz, I put it in my inventory.

"Since you're accepted, it means you'll let me go, right?"

"First, put the whistle down."

"Good."

Grabbing the whistle that was around his neck, Cobalt threw it to the ground.

Knowing that they had survived, they trembled.

I can't waste any more time here.

When the other Cobalt sees us, I'll be killed.

"You look like a good man. Or you become good because you let fear take over."

I dropped the pickaxe that was on the ground.

I think Cobalt saw it as a sign I let him go.

"thank you. I won't forget your kindness !!"

After Cobalt turned around, I took a step forward towards them.

"sorry. I thought I'd be afraid of the consequences if I let you live."

"…Huh?"

Sparks.

Using a pickaxe, I attacked Cobalt's head. (PR: the G.o.d of duels disappointed in you .. whoops wrong novel).

Maybe hold a grudge and get revenge on me later.

I killed his friend and stole the quartz, so he might have a big grudge against me.

If I let it live, it will definitely remember it and try to retaliate later.

"… I feel bad."

Putting both of Cobalt's bodies in the corner, I waited for more Cobalt to pass.

For three hours, I kept doing the same thing.

Behind Me, the corpses of Cobalt were piled high, creating a disgusting smell.

If I continue, I think I'm gonna be so stressed out that I can go crazy.

So, I ended the first day of exploration.
