Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 60 The Art of Explosion

Later that day, Zhuang Yusheng returned to the rented house of the two of them, bringing back dry food and water as usual.

As he said, he didn't buy 【Bomb】.

"Seeing the appearance of those kobolds, I am convinced." Zhuang Yusheng said, "They have already made a proper response to the [Bomb]. It is a good thing that the [Bomb] has no effect if it is used again——I am afraid of them Prepare something like an extra-large slingshot, and bounce the 【Bomb】back."

It's all about your magic!I believe you!
He patted Zheng Zhuo's shoulder and said with a playful smile.

But Zheng Zhuo only felt that he wanted to save money as much as possible.

"(I don't know if he will remember everything after he goes out. I want to know how he reacted when he found out that he couldn't take out all the money he saved.)"

He said secretly in his heart.

……

the next day.

[There are still 47 days until the world is destroyed]

The countdown to the destruction of the world is decreasing little by little.Zheng Zhuo returned to this dungeon again.

The two appeared at the connection between the second and third floors.The paralyzing breath that slowed down thinking was thrown behind them.Continue to go deeper into the dungeon, and the air becomes drier a little bit.

Zheng Zhuo vaguely smelled rust.

The further you go, the less light there is.

What can be seen is getting darker and darker.

"It's never been this dark here before."

Zhuang Yusheng complained and lit the torch.

"When I came last time, I could see the yellow glowing fluorite in the kobold camp from this position. Now there are more expenses for torches..."

He grumbled.

"After earning that money last time, I drank too much! I paid too much for drinks... I was too impulsive... Sure enough, you can't drink alcohol, and you can't be a man after drinking... At that time, you should have walked far away with money... buy A remote small farm...Can you buy it? It’s not bad to buy a dungeon management right. After working for ten or eight years, and saving enough money, you can open a hotel in the town leading to the capital. A life where you don't need to lick blood with a knife..."

Zheng Zhuo's complaint to Zhuang Yusheng is that it goes in the left ear and goes out the right ear.As he conceived his own plan, he walked forward silently.

Tap, tap.

Leather boots stomp on the ground.

Soon, the gate made of iron and bronze reappeared in front of my eyes.There are so many spikes on the gate that it looks terrifying at first glance.

"arrive."

Zheng Zhuo raised his staff and knocked it on the rocky ground.

"You step back."

He turned his head and said to Zhuang Yusheng who was still rambling on.

……

Zheng Zhuo stared at the iron door carefully.Rivets, steel nails, steel thorns, copper hooks...

Before he came here, he thought confidently, "Even if the inside explodes and the door flies out, I can still use [Healing Lv.2] to heal it."

But now, when he really arrived at the scene, he lost his confidence again.

Zheng Zhuo looked back.

Zhuang Yusheng had already hid far away at the corner of the passage.He hid himself tightly behind the big rock, only poking his head out slightly, revealing one eye.

Zheng Zhuo saw him make a "come on" gesture to himself.

"..."

On your own.

Zheng Zhuo forced himself to concentrate again.

"[Identification]."

……

【steel nail】

Attack Power: 【】

【Steel Thorn】

Attack power: [—]

【copper hook】

Attack power: [——]

……

The net is some frightening results.The names of various dangerous decorations appeared, and the physical strength reduction effects they could cause were listed below.

Zheng Zhuo compared those effects with the stamina bar below his own level, and found that if they hit all of them, he could kill three of himself.

"No...not here to see this."

Zheng Zhuo suppressed the hairy feeling all over his body, and looked carefully again.

This time, he looked at the distribution of those dangerous decorations.

Kobold settlements must not have a standard production process.Therefore, the dangerous ornaments on their gates are not so neatly inserted.Some places have more spikes, some places have less.

Zheng Zhuo used [Appraisal] to see the distribution of those spikes intuitively.As a result, parts with fewer spikes were found.

"The part near the right mountain wall has fewer spikes."

Zheng Zhuo walked forward cautiously and approached there.

Sure enough, there were only some harmless rivets at the width of about two humans.

"It's here."

Zheng Zhuo raised his staff.

"[Energy Chain], get ready."

A blue-violet light lit up the room.

"freed."

Bang!
The impacted energy chain made a deep dent on the gate.

Well, it works.

"Prepare."

Zheng Zhuo had to speed up the pace to break through the door before the kobolds approached.

Boom, boom, boom.

After releasing three rounds of [Energy Chain Lv. 2] at the same location, the iron skin was pierced.

A buzzing sound came from behind the iron sheet, and Zheng Zhuo immediately moved forward.

Dim yellow fluorite lighting, slow-moving ugly rhinos and lizards, and kobolds riding on them.Spiky sentry towers and towers, kobolds jumping around behind crooked buildings...

Through the iron sheet, he saw the real appearance of the third layer.

"...the number is too much."

Zhuang Yusheng said that in the kobold camp, "there are only three or five rhinos and six or seven lizards, and the security is very loose."

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

There are at least three rhinos that Zheng Zhuo can see.The lizards could not be seen clearly, but no fewer than five.

Zhuang Yusheng also said that the kobold camp was at least several kilometers long.

If there is such a strict security at the entrance...

"……hiss……"

Zheng Zhuo understood why Zhuang Yusheng said "the challenge level here is at least 60" when they first met.

"[Identification]."

Kobolds vary between Lv.20~Lv.30.The level of the rhino is Lv.35, and the level of the lizard is Lv.32.

Zheng Zhuo's level is Lv.3.Zhuang Yusheng's level is Lv.1.

"Oh please."

When he was still in the real world, he had never tried such a large level gap in games.

but……

"Now I am not only capable on paper."

He forced himself to be calm.

【Quick cast】.

Levels are nothing more than numbers once you get the hang of it.

"It's coming."

Zheng Zhuo took a deep breath.

He sensed the only benefit of the tighter patrol: the rhino's footsteps drowning out his pounding on the iron gate.

"[Energy Chain], get ready."

The light came on again.

"freed."

thump.

"Ready...to release."

thump.

……

After a while.

Below the first hole opened, Zheng Zhuo opened a new hole.

That position just matched the height of the head of the rod.

This time, Zheng Zhuo didn't wait any longer.

He slipped the tip of the staff into the hole.

"[Grease technique], get ready."

Yellow light forms a ring.

"……freed."

Swish!
A viscous liquid appeared out of thin air and splashed behind the door.

Zheng Zhuo heard the sound of the rhino running in a hurry but slipped, the commotion of the kobolds jumping around, and heard the whistling of the horn——

"[Fireball], get ready."

Success or failure is here.

"freed!"

The tumbling heat wave swept the entire entrance in the next second.
