Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 350
350Tuesday Dark Continent (1)
[The probability that [Probabilistic Retaliation] will explode is around 10%.
Please note that this does not increase even if you have [Transcendence]. The 1.5x increase in performance is because it applies to reflection damage.…….
Anyway, it's still like that.
「The character was hit by [Suragak].」
The passive activated at a time when I was seriously worried that I had been scammed and consumed some strange essence..
So, it was a time when I received about 100 lashes..
「The character's luck blocks damage..」
[[Probabilistic Retaliation] was activated, and a transparent curtain appeared on the affected area as if protecting me..
and…….
「powerful luck.」
「Reflects 150% of damage received back to the enemy..」
The skeleton summoned right next to me imitated the kicking stance and stabbed Amelia with [Suragak]..
Even without vocal cords, it lets out a loud shout..
[Wow-!!]
Uh, this is the sound that plays when a jackpot is announced.?
Wait a minute, this won't hurt you too much.?
Those thoughts rushed forward, but it was already too late..
Powok-!
Perhaps embarrassed by the sudden explosion of the skill, Amelia was unable to dodge the blow and caught it with her shoulder..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
After hitting exactly one punch, the skeleton immediately turned into a halo of light and disappeared..
“Ugh…….”
“Are you okay?!”
I was startled and ran towards her, but Amelia took her hand off my shoulder and pushed me away..
“…Don't be too nervous. I was just a little surprised..”
What's surprising.
My shoulder was sore..
“Erwen, bring me splints and bandages..”
“Ah yes……!”
[Because of [the source of immortality], feeding potions to Amelia was of no use, so I adjusted the bones with my hands, applied a splint, and then bandaged her..
“Didn't I tell you to avoid it when your special ability is used?.”
“…….”
“If you can't avoid it, at least hit it gently..”
“…It was a gentle beating..”
What do you mean by gently hitting me?.
‘Even if it is a ‘big success’ decision, it means 100% of the original damage..
‘ah… It must be 150% because of transcendence..’
For reference, the original basic reflection damage is only 10%..
[Even if you calculate [transcendence], it is 15%..
Since the skeleton is summoned and attacks, it is possible to avoid it, so the skill value is not that high..
“Anyway, Amelia, you should take a break..”
“yes Now I just have to help you! I can avoid it well. You can also block it.!”
“…That's right.”
Soon Erwen summoned the spirit again, and Amelia went to the sofa and sat down as if she was somewhat intimidated..
and…….
「Your character has taken fire damage.」
「Your character has taken fire damage.」
「Character takes fire damage······.」
「······.」
This time, the skill was activated after 10 tries..
「The character's luck blocks damage..」
「general luck.」
「Reflects 15% of damage taken to enemies.」
A cute little skeleton is summoned next to me again and shoots out flames..
Because it wasn't a huge success, it didn't have a unique sound..
but.
Powwow-!
As Erwen dodged the flames to the side, the sparks that hit the wall flew everywhere..
and…….
“Oh, fire..”
“Hey, Erwen! water spirit!!”
“Ah, yes!!”
That day, we almost lost the house we had mortgaged..
***
After experiencing a near-fire incident, we went out into the yard at night and tested our skills..
And I got meaningful statistics.
‘First of all, it seems like there isn't much error in the probability.…….’
Unlike the first case where it was successful with as many as 100 tries, the skill was used an average of 15 times thereafter..
The problem is that statistics are just statistics..
There were many cases where it started working normally but suddenly stopped working, and in those cases, I had to hit it for a while for it to work..
The highest record was probably 198.?
‘Does this make sense?……?’
Even if the probability is 1%, it is not an easily understandable figure..
Even building up a stack like that did not result in a jackpot success judgment..
‘Well, I feel like it pops up a little better, but.’
Anyway, after completing the experiment with both passive and active skills, the three of us spent time each day making exploration plans..
The number one goal of the plan was money..
That's because I wanted a short-term loan of 6 months to meet my insufficient budget. Interest rates are high, and if you don't repay the money on time, your house will be taken over to the bank..
But maybe that’s why?
“Man, I’m okay… Even if you don't overdo it…….”
Erwen seemed to have given up on getting the house back when she took out the loan as collateral..
6You must have thought it would be difficult to raise all the money in just a few months..
but…….
“Didn't I tell you? I will try as much as I can.”
I am also a person with a conscience..
Since Erwen likes this house, it is right to try to protect it in any way possible..
“But to raise that money in a short period of time... After all, there is no other option than war..”
“Lane Wales is right. Because none of us have boats. So, this means that you can't even go to the 6th floor and ultimately have to stay on the 5th floor at most.…….”
“I don't see it that way. I think it would be better for me to participate in the war. I may stand out, but if I don't use [Giant], no one will think of me when they see me now..”
Without much discussion, we decided to participate in the war..
That's because if you join the royal family, you can ride a large sailboat and go up to the 7th floor at once..
‘If the three of us are at the level, the monster on the 7th floor is not a big problem..’
All three of them are strong in person-to-person combat, so they will be able to do well in war and collect bounties..
No, is the bounty the problem in the first place??
The enemies will all be mid-level or higher explorers, so if you strip them of all their equipment and sell it, the profits will be enormous..
As well as…….
‘If you do well, it will be possible to catch the 7th floor monster and reach level 7..’
It is possible to more easily fill the experience points that would have originally been achieved by conquering more than 60% of the 6th floor..
and…….
‘7When you reach level, you can eat the essence of the Underworld Island..’
After that, you can look at the situation, delete the essence of the gachabon, and move on to conquering Belarios..
‘8When I level up and get one more Essence, I'll have to delete Storm Gush as well. It's easier to mine essence for level 9 after you've worked hard as a class lord..’
As I'm sorting out my future training direction, I suddenly feel strange..
I think the middle part is definitely over at this point..
Before you know it, you’ve already come this far..
After a brief moment of sentimentality, Amelia asked Erwen:.
“But Tersia, are you okay? I believe it originally moved with the fairy race's executive branch..”
“Oh, that too. Are you okay??”
“That's okay. I recently took a vacation..”
“vacation?”
“yes. I won't be entering the labyrinth for a while, and even if I do, I'll be moving separately. So you don't have to worry about this problem..”
“…If that's the case.”
From then on, I listened to Erwen and Amelia talk about how the war had progressed so far and made plans..
And time goes by…….
「1I entered the crystal cave on the first floor..」
The day of entering the labyrinth has dawned..
***
A crystal cave with a soft purple glow.
As soon as I opened my eyes, Amelia took the lead and found the way..
“Then come this way..”
“Wait a minute, if you're looking for a way, I need more—”
“Amelia is a guide.”
“…Is that girl?”
Erwen received a high level of education from her older sister, equivalent to that of a professional guide, but she no longer insisted on being called a guide..
I feel like my pride is a little hurt somewhere..
Honestly, it was a feeling I couldn't understand..
I also have a navigation function installed, but I don't feel sad about not being able to use this function..
‘It's much easier to just follow along, but why bother??’
Well, it's still a bit interesting.
It's a team of three people, and all three of them have the ability to find their way..
Is this the elite few??
ta da da dat.
Anyway, all I had to do was follow along, so I kept looking around while running. The atmosphere of the labyrinth I entered for the first time after returning was very different from what I expected..
I expected to see knights with noble families' seals on their chests and explorers from clans everywhere, but…….
“There's a lot more than the low-level explorers thought..”
Explorers who smell like newbies are also seen here and there..
In general, the expression is bright..
Because we are inside a labyrinth, there is tension, but no one is trembling or afraid..
“That? The royal family implemented many policies for low-class explorers. I guess that day… Because a lot of top explorers died…….”
After listening more closely, I found out that there was a reason why there were more people on the first floor than when I was a newbie..
The royal family's policy was also a policy, but the major factor was that most of the large clans were disintegrated..
Once the water change took place, it should be said that it turned into a land of opportunity where all you had to do was plant a flag.?
A representative example was the 5th floor..
“5No one is controlling this floor……?”
“It may exist, but it's not as bad as it used to be..”
In the case of the Great Demon World, it was common for clans to occupy and monopolize fields where monsters appear, but these days, it is said to be rare..
In that case, it would be better to participate in the war.?
It seems that this trend has become more severe as the war money was generous and the royal family rewarded you with the desired number if you upgraded your major..
“You're one step late.”
We arrived very early, but unfortunately the first floor portal had already been opened by another explorer..
So, is the official time attack a failure this time too??
「2Entered the beast's den.」
1There was no way it would be the 2nd floor while the time attack on the floor also failed, so I took some time to move after getting to the 2nd floor..
Because I have a leisurely schedule anyway..
‘I said the deadline was the 25th..”
The royal family's method of recruiting troops is very simple..
25Arrive at Raemia, the island of beginnings, by day one..
For a team that has just entered the 6th floor, the period is a bit tight, but for the three of us who have free passes up to the 6th floor, it's a different story..
‘Because there is no wizard, the speed does not decrease..’
If it had been before, it would have been time to take a break a long time ago, but no one is telling me to stop..
and the result.
‘It's already on the 3rd floor……?’
1I arrived at the 3rd floor by the end of the day..
Even though it didn't run as fast on the second floor as it did on the first floor..
“Man, are you having a hard time? drink this.”
Surprisingly, these two had a lot of leisure even after running like this, so it seemed like they could move faster if they wanted to..
Well, these guys are civilians?
“Erwen, I probably told you not to call me uncle in the labyrinth.?”
“Oh right. I'll be careful…….”
Erwen, who heard my attention, smiled shyly and nodded, and we slowly started preparing for camp..
There was no need for night watch.
It was at the beginning of the 3rd floor anyway.…….
“All I have to do is set up my alter ego, so sleep comfortably..”
Thanks to Amelia’s [self-replication], there is no need to waste a single person..
“Wow, Amelia. After all, it’s comfortable to have you around.”
“Don't be too nervous. It's nothing.”
Huh, I'm being picky..
Even if it's a double body, it's true that you're going through a hard time, so I'm saying this as a thank you..
“yes that's right. It's no big deal.”
“huh?”
“Well, I can do something similar.……?”
Erwen said that and immediately summoned the spirit..
I heard that unlike before, summoning while sleeping isn't particularly difficult? It is said that the consumption of spirit power is not a burden..
“And by using the dark spirit, you can make it difficult for monsters and other people to see. how is it? Aren’t I much better? yes? Yes?”
“Yeah, yeah... you are better.”
I wanted to refrain from comparing my colleagues, but the strange pressure made me nod my head..
But was this the answer you wanted??
“Well then... Please do it too.”
“…huh? what?”
“That's it. What I said to that woman earlier…….”
Soon, Erwen twisted his body..
“Well, it's convenient because I'm there... … . Well, as expected... I'm the best... … . There's only me and me……”
No, I never said that..
