Chapter 57 – Calamity Fish Hunting (2)“Are the arrangements complete now?’
“We’re done somewhat. We gave the Juicers to Yohan’s guys earlier and gave them basic explanations as well. They’ll be fine from now on.”
When the people of the tutorial come in, they had to give them basic notices and then spread out again.
“How are the standards for the guys this time around?”
“You know how it is. That it increases a bit every year.”
The man clicked his tongue.
And because of that the standards of those who go through the Tutorial increase every year.
Since the environment of the End Root gets harsher as time goes on.
‘Tsk. The number of survivors would increase greatly if the Calamity Fish didn’t exist.’
If you take into account the fact that the level of the beasts increases the closer one gets to the giant World Tree it means that the difficulty of where newcomers land after the tutorial increases every year.
‘You need to stay on the boat longer as well.’
Since the roots will grow back and the difficulty of the tutorial will get lowered to fit that.
‘14% of the people had survived last year but it’s only about 11% this year… about 3 billion more would come over but for the survival rate to be like this…’
But the speed at which they were coming was increasing at a very rapid rate.
Though the immediate survival rate had decreased the number of newcomers had increased.
But at this rate, in about 5 to 6 years from now all of humanity would be dragged here and then all get massacred in the tutorial.
The helper clansman made a bitter expression.
If the difficulty of the tutorial gets reset because the Calamity Fish disappeared and the Roots grow back then the number of people will increase greatly but sadly the Calamity Fish was not something humans could deal with.
And the man stared at the guy standing in front of Camille Rowe in the distance.
No, he didn’t even fight back and forth.
He didn’t have any skills or artifacts.
The rumors of this guy will get spread very fast.
The man who was standing atop of the cross mumbled inwardly as he looked at the guy walking towards him.
Camille laughed absentmindedly at Hansoo’s words.
She was going to make the attempt anyway.
Hansoo opened his eyes wide at Camille Rowe’s words and then looked at her.
“…?”
“…”
If you take into account that thing’s movement speed then it’ll arrive around then.
It was better to prepare as soon as possible and kill it off in the distant sea.
Since the amount of casualties will explode upwards once that thing goes insane at the last moment.
Hansoo got up from his seat as he finished his words.
Camille clicked her tongue and asked as she looked at Hansoo’s back.
Hansoo shrugged his shoulders.
‘Since I need to receive the Juicer.’
Camille remembered what she had forgotten about at those words.
‘Oh yeah, he was a beginner.’
‘Well okay. I have some things to do as well.’
Camille got up from her seat and then walked towards the Helper Clansmen who were guarding the Cross.
‘I really wish… I really wish my sibling hasn’t come yet.’
Since the number of people who had been coming here over the Tutorial had been increasing.
That was the reason why the Seven Departed Souls and many others who had the qualifications to go up stayed at the Red zone to search around.
The reason why that Helper Clan was able to be maintained was very simple as well.
The Helper Clan was the place that the minds of those who didn’t have the leisure to search for their family because of the harsh environment they’re faced with but wanted to stop such things as death from happening supported.
‘That person called Eres is amazing. How did she think of such a thing 20 years ago?’
Of course in the most basic ways only.
They helped with the most basic survival tactics and preparations but surviving after fighting against a beast or other people was all up to themselves.
Camille greeted one of the Helper clansman after she arrived.
“You’re a VIP, of course. Let’s see…”
Usually they would only give basic warnings and the Juicer.
A personed searched by a VVIP with a stronger backing will be checked to see if he was at the tutorial or not. (* PR Note: VVIP = Very Very Important Person?)
“It doesn’t seem like they’re here on this side of the Roots. Though we can’t check up the tutorial with the amount you supported. I don’t know about the other Roots but all the intel will be gathered within two days so come find us then.”
With a few people behind him.
Those were the people who the VIP or the VVIP asked to find. “Hoooh…”
Since there was no way to know if they hadn’t been dragged into the Otherworld or had died at the Tutorial.
‘Focus on the Calamity Fish.’
Camille spoke to Hansoo who had gathered the Juicer and a few other things.
Hansoo spoke with a very serious expression.
“…”
Camille sighed, shook her head and then spoke.
Since you couldn’t kill it from the outside.
“Well. Okay. There’s a lot of things to be prepared. I’ve prepared the boat already, though it’s a 30 man boat.”
Since the heavens will be falling apart.
Well of course, quiet is relative to what it would be. Hansoo shook his head.
“What?”
“Hey! You crazy bastard… did you just leave that behind?”
Why would he have done such a thing when there are so many people who desired boats.
“Don’t worry. I’ve hidden it well. Let’s go to the next subject.”
While Camille was shaking her head, Hansoo checked the things Camille had prepared.
Since she had already prepared the things which you could only gather at the Base Root or the Trunk. Camille smirked at that.
Those things were things which you couldn’t even see during the tutorial stage.
“Did you prepare Apon’s Body Fluid? We need that.”
“….You know about that?”
Being strong was being strong, it was a completely different problem from intel.
“…”
Camille looked at that Hansoo. Trait.
‘I thought he would have a battle-related trait… but for it to be the Library.’
‘Perhaps he has two traits?’
While Camille was thinking of this and that while looking at Hansoo, Hansoo, who had finished checking Camille’s preparations, laid down a decision.
Camille had prepared quite well but this was not enough.
Other things might not be needed but this was a necessity.
Hansoo spoke out the things needed to Camille.
Camille would definitely get them in time.
While Hansoo was making plans for the future, Camille nodded after checking the list that Hansoo had told her.
The 17 things he had told her were things she didn’t prepare because she wasn’t sure but were things that she had thought that might work at one point.
Camille, who had finished her thoughts, quickly separated from Hansoo and started to head towards a different direction from him. ‘Though it’s a bit tight… I can get them all if there are no problems along the way.’
While Camille was jumping with light movements a loud voice was heard from some place.
She then turned her head towards the direction of the voice.
“Woah woah. Don’t glare at me like that. We have a rather unique relationship between us. We’ve gone in and come out from within the Calamity Fish together.”
For someone who had barely held onto his life and come out from within the Calamity fish to become a Quadratus.
“I’m still using the relic I got from within the stomach very well. Kuhuu. I thank you. Since it’s all thanks to you. I’ve reached quite a high place thanks to that.”
A weird skill was applied onto the sword where the air which the sword had passed through shook. “…Are you going to disturb me again?”
“Uwahahahaha! What kind of misunderstanding do you have. If we really disturbed you seriously then you think you can even attempt at the Calamity Fish? If we did it properly then you would’ve died already. We just kept you alive because of old friendship.”
As Camille was flustered Gyesoo giggled as he spoke.
“…”
“…So are you here to ask me to join your Quadratus again?”
“Nope. We aren’t really interested anymore.”
“Isn’t it a bit shameless to ask for attention after 13 failures? It’s not even fun anymore.”
“I’m here because I have some business with that newcomer. Was he called Kang Hansoo?”
“Woah. Don’t glare at me like that. It’s not a bad proposition on his terms either. You see, a scout has come in from above.” [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
Since huge tornadoes will be rushing around its body.
There were a lot of things needed to be prepared before going into its body but a lot of time could be saved with just this much.
‘…Does he have a trait like a Library?’
‘The first thing we need to make is the
Camille looked at Gyesoo with a slight frown at those words.
