Chapter 38
CHAPTER 38
At a later date, Wiseman gave me his conditions and they were surprising .
“I want you to add me to your party,” he said . “If I’m with you, I’m sure I could learn more about The World . ”
BlackRose and I looked at each other .
“Is that all? You want to join?” I said with a sigh of relief since I was secretly nervous about what kind of price I would be charged .
Wiseman looked at me in amazement for some reason .
“You don’t know your worth . The chance to work with you is invaluable . ”
“What do you think?” I consulted with BlackRose .
“It’s a little weird, but it’s okay, I guess,” she shrugged and said .
“I don’t mind . “
So, with that, Wiseman joined our party .
“Nice to meet you, Kite and BlackRose . I’ll send you an email about the Epitaph later . For the time being, I won’t give much weight to combat . However, I think that I can help with trading, negotiations, etcetera . ”
Wiseman said with a smile .
But I quickly realized that this was his own expression of humility .
Wiseman was a hardcore heavy user of The World .
He was familiar with the various game strategies and tips in The World .
His advice led us to a dramatic increase in strength and an efficient level up .
Even that day, we were trying to look up a rumor posted on the bulletin board at Wiseman’s suggestion .
There was a character in the area who kept talking incoherently and it was suspicious .

“What do you mean by suspicious?” BlackRose asked .
“Suspicious in the sense of a hidden game scenario? Or suspicious in The World?”
“Of course the latter,” said Wiseman .
“Since it’s just a rumor, several players are already trying to contact the character . However, no event is released and they will not get any new rewards . The character is just there, without any meaning . At least, the players feel that way . ”
The area was on the Lambda Server .
When I got to the dungeon, I found the character in the deepest part . At first glance it looked like a normal PC, but if you looked closely, you could see that there were cavities all over the PC’s body .
When targeted, his name was displayed . It seemed he was named Plaird .
As I approached, Plaird turned to me with a dancing gesture .
“Do you know? I’m looking for something, but do you know where it is?”
He spoke in a bland tone .

“What are you looking for?” I asked .
“I’m looking for it because… I don’t know . I don’t know . What do you not know?”
“Are you messing with us?” BlackRose said .
“Coming? Not coming?* We will meet in Net Slum whether you’re coming or not . We can meet without deciding the time . If we meet, it’ll be a nice rendezvous . I’m sure we can meet . I don’t know I don’t know . ”
Wiseman stood at a distance and looked at Plaird with great interest .
Plaird turned away as if he had suddenly lost interest in us . He started walking as if to dance .
“I don’t know I don’t know . Now I know . I don’t know I don’t know . Definitely don’t know . ”
Suddenly, someone transferred in as though obstructing Plaird .
Shortly before ascertaining who it was, the man stuck out his right hand and gouged out Plaird‘s torso . Plaird vanished without a trace, having been pierced in a place where he was solid .
“You… Lios!” yelled BlackRose .

With his hands on his hips, Lios spoke as though spitting .
“Garbage data . ”
“Lios? Why are you here?” I said, surprised .
“Debugging . Deleting bad data . That’s my job . ”
“Defective data…”
“That doesn’t concern you,” Lios said to her and yelled at us .
“Didn’t I tell you to lay low until my next instructions? Why did you disobey me?”
I was at a loss for a reply .
“No matter now . Laying low means doing nothing . Do what you’re told . Understood? Over and out!”
