Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

Chapter 55

# 55

55. Reporting Ceremony (1)

A few days later in the evening.

Jenna and I were waiting on a bench in the plaza.

The master was connected, and three-colored stones were rotating in the item synthesis window.

[Start item synthesis!]

[Optional Material – Lesser Fire Property Stone, Lesser Water Property Stone, Lesser Wind Property Stone]

[Complete Item – Lesser Property Stone]

[Success Rate – 87%]

[Synthesis Method – Automatic]

[Synthesize?]

[Yes (Optional) / No]

When Amkena touched ‘Yes’, the attribute stones spun and began to gather in one place.

White light colored the composite window with the sound of fireworks exploding.

System messages and control windows moved wildly in my field of vision, but I was the only one who could see them.

Jenna sat awkwardly on the bench and poked at me before saying,

“Is this a promotion?”

“okay.”

If you can see the status window, the description of the grade cannot be omitted.

According to the grade, there is a limit to growth, and the promotion is what allows you to break through. If you go into a little more about the stars and ratings, it’s not a 100% answer, but this is enough for now.

After the strike, Amkena steadily went back and forth between the 8th and 9th floors to train the 1st party.

I reached level 12, Iolka reached level 8, Aaron reached level 9, and Jenna reached level 10. Level 10 is the watershed of promotion. I was able to try to upgrade right away without wasting experience points because I kept collecting materials from the daily dungeon.

[Fairy Power!]

[

Fail!]

[Synthesis Failed!]

[Material disappears.]

‘Did it fail?’

Attribute stone is not an easy material to obtain.

Rare monsters are not always there, and the drop rate is not high. Still, in preparation for such a case, he had collected extra attribute stones.

Amkena opened the synthesis window again and tried to combine.

[Good!]

[Synthesis completed!]

[You have acquired ‘Low Attribute Stone’.]

A success message came to mind.

After a while, Isel came out of the warehouse holding the upgrade seat.

[You are also a 2 star. Years are free.]

Isel threw the upgrade seat with a sad expression.

Jenna took the upgrade seat and looked outside.

“It looks strange.”

[Master promotion begins!]

Knocked up.

The door to the synthesis was opened.

Jenna stared into the synthesis with a stiff face.

“You’re not going to die, are you?”

“Okay.”

I don’t know what will happen during the promotion process.

I couldn’t see it when I was a Master, and what I actually experienced was a bit special.

“Anyway, I’m coming!”

After saluting me, Jenna approached the synthesis center.

As soon as Jenna entered, the doors to the promotion center and synthesis center were closed at the same time.

While Jenna was getting promoted, I looked at the statue of a war horse adorned above the fountain.

I left the statue here and forgot it, but it seemed that someone had made a pedestal and decorated it.

‘It’s boring.’

I didn’t have to come to the promotion site.

It was because he said he was worried about Jenna and asked her to come with him.

Tired of looking at the statues, I organized my thoughts.

‘If you activate berserk, your body gets stronger, but your skills deteriorate and you lose your composure.’

Light radiated from the wooden doll that had been cut into pieces, and it began to recover.

I activated Berserk once more and started practicing again.

Do not lose control of your body while suppressing the heat in your head. The goal is to combine skills. Until the two skills merge into one. I wanted to complete it at least until I reached the 15th floor.

It wasn’t a sight to show others, so I practiced alone, but after a while I realized that someone was watching me.

“....”

Motion stopped.

I turned around and saw Edith leaning against the wall, looking at me.

Edith made eye contact with me and waved her hand.

“You have a lot of trouble late at night.”

“What’s going on this morning?”

Unlike Aaron, who is a training fanatic, Edith often finishes her training quickly. It was not uncommon to stay until late in the evening. Edith pulled herself away from the wall and came slowly towards me.

“I have something to say.”

“What to say?”

“We’re going to the 12th floor soon.”

“I guess so.”

Edith’s default affiliation is Party 2, but she temporarily belongs to Party 1.

At first, it was a little futile, but after battle after battle, he was now paying more than his wages. Edith hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth in a firm voice.

“Have you ever killed a person?”

‘This sounds ridiculous again.’

I sheathed my sword and turned to Edith.

“Why are you asking that?”

“I’ve heard that you guys weren’t from the combat profession. Jenna was a forester, Aaron was a hunter, and you were a farmer? I don’t believe it.”

“so.”

“Killing people is different from killing monsters.”

Edith lost focus.

It was like recalling a distant memory.

“From the 12th floor...”

“The enemy is a human.”

Edith silently nodded.

‘is it.’

The 2nd party attacked the 12th floor first.

On the 12th floor, Usher and Dicka went to the brink of death, which became the decisive reason for the 2nd party to join the strike. The reason they struggled was not the level of difficulty.

“Are you asking for determination?”

“Yes, to survive.”

“You know the answer better.”

I smiled and replied.

My life here was already established by the death of another person. Shay. Toby. Avant. There are only three of them synthesized by me. will increase in the future. Edith smiled bitterly.

“That’s true too. It’s as if you killed the maned wolf.”

“Do you want to criticize me?”

“No, I just... ha, I don’t know what to say.”

“No matter what comes out, no matter what they look like, they are monsters.”

“You’d think so, but your party might be different.”

“It won’t be different. If it’s different, you’ll have to save someone else.”

Humanoid monsters definitely exist.

A lot of it too. There were also many enemies who were not humanoid, but just human.

I didn’t expect to go from a skeleton on the 11th floor to a humanoid at once, but it was something I had to go through at least once anyway. I continued.

“In a word, it’s useless worry. Did you get an answer?”

“...okay.”

Edith hesitated a little and then disappeared outside the camp.

‘Murder.’

It is considered the worst crime in modern society.

Judging from Edith’s reaction, it seemed that the treatment was no different in Taoni.

‘It’s funny.’

Hundreds of goblins were slaughtered, and many things in human form, such as the black priest on the 10th floor and the walking corpse, were cut into pieces. I was tired of seeing people die. The color of the blood, its scent, and the heat remain vividly.

“...”

I drew my sword.

There was still a lot to do.
