How to Survive as a Player Chapter 125

#125

Sehyeon was currently staring at Fan with a scary look.

“so… “What is this?”

“It’s a gift I made overnight for my allies. “It means reconciliation.”

The smiling face that was overusing the word reconciliation looked a little sad. It seemed like it wasn’t a lie to say I stayed up all night.

Sehyun looked at the box placed on the table. To be exact, a ring with a magic stone inside the box. A faint energy of magic stone could be felt in the brilliant emerald ring. The energy was so weak that you wouldn’t notice it unless you concentrated.

“It’s a mana stone with a location tracking device implanted in it. It took several hours just to process it. Since the nullification skill was engraved with triple compression, even the mana limiter won’t work. It can also detect vital signs, so it would be a good idea to wear it. “For example, right now.”

Fenn puffed out his chest and spoke confidently. It felt a bit like repairing a barn after losing a cow, but Se-hyeon accepted it with a grateful heart because it also felt like something.

“I accept it gratefully. But I guess you don’t bargain for ultrasonic bombing airships?”

“Haha, if you want, I can write a contract. However, it will be several times more expensive than the Mapok airship. “I can’t just give it to you.”

Sehyeon clicked his tongue without realizing it. The Mapok airship was also being used at a price that was ten times more expensive than the non-pok airship used by Lee Jae-young and Baek Do-hyeon. In other words, that was tantamount to saying that he would extract the same amount as the L-class magic stone transaction amount.

“I’ll think about it. And Mr. Fen.”

“Say it.”

“I want to ask you something. “This is a request I would like you to personally listen to.”

Se-hyeon put the ring with a magic stone on her empty hand and made a fortune. In fact, he initially planned to stay here for a while, but after seeing the heroes and Kwak Jeong-han, he changed his mind.

The current empire was empty due to the absence of a ruler. Moreover, even the heroes who were supposed to take care of the empire’s security were all here. So I had to go back as soon as possible. There are probably many retainers who are concerned about Sehyeon’s absence.

“I’ll listen.”

“I would appreciate it if you could go to the home of the Jaseng Empire and raise some flags.”

“Hmm, my knee suddenly hurts.”

What I was saying was that I couldn’t afford to listen to that. Even if he had the means, from Fan’s perspective, he probably wouldn’t want to help much. That was the way he looked at the Celestial Race, including Yu Si-un.

He also judged that the Celestial Race had no utility value.

“Do you think we can win the battle against the giant monster?”

“I think it’s something you don’t know unless you try it.”

“My thoughts are a little different. From the moment the current federation system was divided into two factions, we should already have no hope. Besides, I could be the only empire that needs to reach the 100th floor… “The difference from other empires is stark.”

“What do you want to say? “Say it.”

Fan showed quite a sensitive reaction when it came to achievements. His face, which was pretending to be relaxed, soon became stiff when the story of the monster came up. Perhaps he, too, was unsure about the current situation.

“Let me put it simply. If the first thing Mr. Fenn thought of was a striker, I think there should be a support unit to assist that unit.”

“Those are the Celestial Races?”

“yes. At this federation meeting, I will advocate for the protection and training of the Celestial Race. Of course, I will protect it and raise it myself. And we will prove their utility value. Mr. Fan, all you have to do is agree with what I say. “Don’t let them touch the Celestials.”

Fan’s eyes fell on the table. The fingers moving steadily seemed to be lost in deep thought. His ever-changing eyes slowly closed and opened for a long time before he belatedly raised his gaze.

“I guess so. However, do not forget that you can withdraw your decision if their utility value is not proven. In survival, some people are left behind. I am not generous enough to take care of everything. Rather realistic.”

Fan was a wise man with the eyes to objectively judge all cases. Sehyun also thought that was worth imitating. The reason he expressed his intention to agree may be because he thought that Se-hyun’s plan was a direction that would pursue a certain degree of stability.

He was a person who did not invest in things that had no value.

“Yeah, whatever. “Now then, can you please go take down the flag?”

“Haha, my knees… .”

“You have to hear the knee command once or twice for it to sink in, Mr. Fan. And if you had any intention of messing with the Earthen Empire in the first place, you knew that you would be captured by the hostile alliance. Just do what you already do in a big way and then go. “I won’t catch you.”

“Isn’t there too little benefit for me?”

“I think I became a cause.”

Fan’s eyebrows twitched. Her smile was revealed as she bent her back and placed her elbows on the table, clasping her hands together.

“If the circumstances allow, I would like to scout you. “I think we’ll get along pretty well.”

“Okay, there’s no time, so speak quickly. Are you going to remove the flag or not?”

“I’m going to go for a walk after I get some sleep. Did you get an answer?”

Sehyun smiled. It was a word of permission.

“Yes, of course. “Brace your knees well.”

The justification given by Se-hyeon was the pretext necessary to destroy the Toje Empire. Se-hyeon’s thought was that Fan, who had been wanting to dismantle the Toje Empire, was also unable to uproot it due to the hostile alliance’s attention.

Then, Se-hyeon became a good-looking bait and provided an excuse for the collapse, so Fan had enough justification for it.

The hostile alliance will not be able to hold Fan responsible for anything in this regard. On the surface, it seems that Fen’s position is that the earthen empire came first when he touched Fen’s troubles.

So, the profit that Fan gained from this incident was more than expected. There’s one more thing.

“Mr. Fen, you probably know from video communication that the fuel magic stone of the airship modified by the Earth Empire is L-class. For reference, after checking our transaction ledger, it appears that the Black Empire has no history of trading magic stones with anyone other than the Engineering Empire, the Protection Empire, and the Magic Empire from the beginning until now.”

“Does it also include the time you took two months off?”

“yes. However, unlike Fen, who continued to trade, the Protection Empire and the Magic Empire were empires that I traded with in the early days when I started acquiring L-class magic stones, before the market price was even set. Transactions after that are not in the ledger. Among them, the Protection Empire has a history of returning magic stones to us due to research failures, so this is not the case. Other than that, please find out for yourself. Don’t forget that Mr. Fan is also included in the suspect category as long as he is in the transaction ledger.”

If you ask Yu Si-un, you can quickly find out which empire was behind the Toje Empire. However, the reason Se-hyeon did not ask Yoo Si-woon was to obtain clear evidence, not information. The plan was to entrust the investigation to Fan and, once evidence was secured, hold the empire behind it responsible.

“It’s unfair.”

“If it’s unfair, let’s find out and hold a presentation. I also hope that Mr. Fan did not sell that precious L-class magic stone somewhere. First of all, I will receive and deliver the coordinates to Yu Si-un’s empire before the sun sets, so please go for a walk later.”

“Of course. “First of all, I’d like to sleep for a bit. Can I borrow your bed?”

Sehyun nodded with a generous heart. As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened his knee, which was so painful that he thought he was going to die, and walked straight to the bed.

It was almost at the same time that he lay down on the bed and Sehyun got up. Sehyeon put on his outerwear and walked out the door where everyone was waiting.

From now on, it was time to go meet Park Seung-gun. The goal was to retrieve all the contracts from the Celestial Race, but Park Seung-geon would never give them up easily.

Therefore, Baek Do-hyeon, who can use psychic communication in case something unexpected happens, decided to go with him.

Squeak-

When I opened the door, a chill seeped in. As she shrugged her shoulders and opened the front door through the middle gate, snow carried by the wind fell on the back of her hand.

There were heroes standing proudly in front of the dazzling scenery. As I moved my gaze to the side, Yoo Si-woon, Baek Do-hyeon, and Lee Jae-young also came into view.

They were eyes filled with trust. Is this also because of the system Bill Will mentioned? For Sehyeon, that was the only way to explain why he was so trusting.

“Let’s go, everyone.”

Sehyun pushed her wandering thoughts to one side and stretched out her feet. An airship majestically anchored on the mountain behind led the way.

Now was the time to just end the bad relationship.

Park Seung-gun’s location was the lowest level of the airship’s hull. The dark prison, without any light, was full of a foul smell. Maybe that’s why the air itself felt sticky.

As I followed Ruhak, relying on the glowing mana stone, I began to see a dark shadow inside the prison. They were all Park Seung-gun’s tribe.

They were glaring at Se-hyeon and the hero as they passed by, their hands and feet tied to chains hanging on the wall. They all had life-like perspectives.

The inexplicable fishy smell that was stinging my nose became increasingly severe. It was only when Sehyeon reached the end of the prison that he learned the cause of the stench. Where Ruhak’s steps stopped, there was Asha. I wondered where he had been, and it seemed like he was working a shift here. He simply thought so.

Until you look ahead.
