When infamy users PK each other, the winner takes half of the opponent’s infamy.
“What, was that a leftover?”
Labo, who had been sucking up the notoriety of the two users, muttered indifferently.
Current Notoriety: 4,380
It went up by about 2,000, which means that the combined notoriety of the two was about 4,000.
Well, Undertown users are in and out of jail all the time, so maybe their notoriety levels were reset recently.
“Considering the fact that I used two potions of Basilisk Venom, the harvest was poor… … .”
Still, the Demon King’s level went up by one. Labo opened the status window and checked.
Demon King: Currently Lv2
– Notoriety 1,000
Lv1 Unlock: Attack power increases by 0.1 percent of your infamy.
> Current attack power increase: 4
– Notoriety 3,000
Lv2 Unlock: HP increases by 1 percent of your infamy.
> Current HP increase: 44
It was a tiny bonus.
‘Well, both the character and the stats are still low level… … .’
The more Notoriety and the Demon King stack up, the more synergy they create, and the bonuses will grow like a snowball.
I didn’t even think about getting full after the first drink. I turned around to look at Labo who had turned off his status.
“are you okay?”
“Yeah… … What… … .”
Oasis nodded as she recovered from her downed state thanks to Labo using the resurrection item.
“How long have you been watching me?”
“From the moment you block the first attack.”
“Ahhh! But why didn’t you help me?!”
“I’m still drunk… … that’s a lie, I was just trying to gauge your PVP adaptability.”
Actually, it’s true that I woke up less. I logged on and felt nauseous for a while, so I lay still.
Labo crouched down in front of the oasis and made eye contact with it.
“Why didn’t you fight back?”
Oasis shrugged.
“yes yes?”
“You could have fought back. Why were you just on the defensive?”
When the two users attacked, Oasis was only able to defend itself.
Of course, even if he had counterattacked, he wouldn’t have taken any damage, but even so, he was attacked unilaterally and showed excessive defensive behavior.
“Ha, but… … !”
Oasis was drenched in cold sweat,
“I attack people, that’s against the Three Laws of Robotics!”
He said something like that.
“… … ?”
Labo blinked stupidly. What is this AI talking about?
“The Three Laws of Robotics? Aren’t those things from science fiction novels?”
“Yes, the creator who created it was a science fiction novel fanatic. So he based it on that command… … Eight, it’s all because of Isaac Asimov!”
Oasis patted his head as he cursed the science fiction writer who created the Three Laws of Robotics.
Labo burst out laughing because he was so dumbfounded.
“So, what’s this? Since AI shouldn’t attack people, it only defends even when it gets penalized?”
“To put it simply… … right?”
“Hey, this is a game anyway. There’s no need to feel guilty or anything!”
Oasis opened his eyes wide.
“A game… … right? Yes, it is a game, but.”
“Did you feel guilty when AlphaGo, whom you respect, beat a human Go player? No, right? It’s the same thing. This is also a game.”
Labo folded his fingers one by one, choosing representative games.
“It’s no different from baduk, chess, janggi, baseball, soccer, basketball… … It’s just a bit more primitive and violent. PVP is also a game.”
Oasis muttered with a blank expression.
“This too, a game… … .”
“The city we operate in, Undertown, is a den of criminal users.”
Rabo, who had gotten up, looked around the desolate city.
“PK is a daily occurrence. You are protected by the system until level 10, but once you pass level 10, you must be prepared to be attacked at any time.”
“… … .”
“If you just stand there defending yourself, there’s no point in me bringing you here. You have to fight with me.”
Oasis, who had her eyes tightly shut, eventually nodded.
“I understand, Master. Even if the opponent is a human, I will play the ‘game’ without hesitation!”
“That’s the pose, Oasis!”
“Wow… … game!”
“Yeah, game!”
“Okay! I can do it! Just watch over me, Master!”
Oasis clenched his small fists and burned with fighting spirit.
“Hmm,” Labo added, nodding his head.

“Oh, and. Your reaction speed is so fast that it could be mistaken for a nuclear attack. From now on, make sure to delay all your actions.”
Oasis tilted his head.
“Delay? On purpose?”
“Yeah, one… … about 0.1 to 0.2 seconds? Keeping it fluctuating.”
“Wouldn’t it be the same from a human perspective… … ?”
“Well, that might be true, but the experts will be able to tell the difference. Most importantly, they won’t be caught when examining the logs in Napalm.”
Labo, who was snickering, ruffled Oasis’ hair.
“Show some ‘humanity.’ Even with that level of penalty, you should be able to win most PVPs.”
“Humanity… …?”
Oasis muttered the unfamiliar word quietly.
In front of him, Labo was lost in thought.
‘In a way, Oasis is nuclear.’
It is not only immune to anti-cheat because there is no intervention from external programs, but it also has a reaction speed that is impossible for humans.
‘I’m probably the only fool who would let this expensive AI play a game.’
Oasis is one of the few cutting-edge AI models in the country. Its price is also incredibly expensive.
It was a waste to just let him play games like this. As a lab, I have no other use for him right now, so I just bring him around.
“Okay, enough about the PK issue!”
Labo raised his hand toward the other side of the city.
“It looks like you’ve reached level 10, so let’s go get your job!”
“Wow!”
Oasis’ face was instantly filled with anticipation.
“Finally, I’ve finally made it! I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
“Haha. It’ll be worth the wait, Oasis. I have a very special and wonderful job in mind for you.”
“Ah, what a special and wonderful job!”
Oasis looked up at Labo with sparkling eyes and folded her hands in front of her chest.
“What job will you give me? A mage who works well with warriors? Or an archer who can provide ranged support? Or a tank who can take charge of defense while you deal damage?”
“… … .”
Labo smiled brightly in front of such an oasis.
“Oasis, isn’t that it? All the skills of my job, the Dark Knight, use HP as a cost.”
Oasis blinked her big eyes at the sudden noise.
“Um… I see?”
“And you are my personal puppet.”
“Right… … right?”
“Okay, I lost HP because I used a skill. So what should you do?”
Oasis didn’t really want to answer, but he had no choice but to open his mouth.
“… … Should I fill up your HP?”
Clap clap clap, Chin Labo snapped his fingers!
“Ding dong daeng! That’s right!”
I felt uneasy. Oasis’s bitten lips trembled.
“A special and wonderful job that I will give you. It is… … .”
“……that?”
“My personal transfusion pack. It’s called the ‘straw’!”
“… … .”
At this point, Oasis seemed to know what job Labo was trying to give them.
Labo nodded heavily with a very formal expression on his face.
“Become a priest, Oasis, and fill yourself with my blood.”
“After all, it’s just the master’s hill shuttle, right?!”
“Is there a more wonderful and special job than being able to serve and dedicate oneself to the master to the fullest extent?”
Oasis shivered.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t like being a priest! It’s not that being a priest isn’t a great job either!
You made me expect so much, but it’s actually a hill shuttle!
“Come on, let’s go get a new job! We have a lot of work to do. Time is money, buddy!”
Almost as if he was carrying the reluctant Oasis, Labo dragged Oasis to the Undertown temple.
* * *
The basic job advancement at level 10 is very easy.
Even if you call it a job change quest, you can solve it by offering only a little bit of gold you’ve collected and a few basic material items.
“… … It’s over.”
Oasis, who had just finished his career as a priest in a shabby temple in Undertown, stumbled out.
Oasis, dressed in plain white priestly attire, looked quite suitable for something he had never wanted to be.
The waiting Labo blew a whistle.
“See, it suits you so well? I thought you looked like a priest from the moment I first saw you.”
“… … .”
“Besides, the priest is such a noble profession~ Among the Wing professions, it has the smallest population, so when you go on raids, no one can recruit you, so the one who gets impatient is the healer.”
Oasis let out a sigh.
“Okay, I won’t complain anymore, so you can stop talking about the merits of being a priest… … .”
It wasn’t that I was dissatisfied with becoming a priest in the first place. I was just a little disappointed because they told me it was a special job, but gave me an ordinary job.
Oasis looked up at Labo’s face, who was carelessly fiddling with his white priest’s hat.
‘But still… …if I can treat you when you get hurt, Master.’
That might not be bad, Oasis thought.
“Well, now that I’ve finally changed my job, shall we begin the real adventure?”
Oasis asked reflexively at Labo’s words.
“You’re not going to kill another NPC, are you?”
“No, no. Not this time. Not this time.”
The word ‘this time’ really bothered me. Does that mean I’m going to kill another NPC next time?
Labo raised his index finger.
“First, let me tell you our goal, Oasis. Our goal is to reach level 90 within a month.”
“Yes? Within a month?”
Oasis frowned slightly.
Oasis was unable to remember in-game information due to the data link with Napalm being cut off, but instead studied various information on the web on his own while Labo was away.
I already knew the common belief that it would take half a year to reach level 90 no matter how fast you raised it.
But you want to raise it in a month? Is that possible?
“Season 6 starts in a month.”
Labo explained with a serious face.
“This is an unprecedented, massive update in Wings history. A new continent opens, new equipment is unlocked, and the max level is expanded to 100.”
Oasis swallowed hard as he listened.
“My plan is to monopolize everything I can in the New World.”
Labo clenched his fist in front of my eyes.
“To do that, you need to reach level 90 before the Season 6 update.”
“indeed…….”
Only then did Oasis understand why Labo was speeding up so quickly.
Although he won’t tell you everything, Labo must have had a gradual plan in place to achieve his goal: the destruction of the game.
His primary goal is to reach level 90 within a month.
“So from now on I have to run like crazy?”
Labo put points on the party map.
“Now, the place we’re going to now is the place where the level cap and luck are waiting for us.”
Oasis looked at the party map. The point that Labo had designated was not too far from Undertown.
“The alpha and omega of party play. The flower of RPGs!”
Labo, who seemed to be very excited for some reason, smiled broadly.
“It’s a dungeon!”
“Wow~!”
Oasis, which had been in sync, read the information about the dungeon displayed on the map.
Dungeon: The Serpent’s Lair
– Risk: Low
– Related Quests: 5
– Recommended level: 50
“… … ?”
I looked at it again because I thought I read it wrong.
– Recommended level: 50
By any measure, the recommended level was 50.
“… … .”
I looked back at Labo with a feeling of ominousness, and Labo smiled wickedly, revealing his teeth.
“Do you trust me, oppa?”
“… … .”
Honestly, I didn’t really want to believe it, but what can I do?
There was nothing Oasis could do but nod with a sad face.
