Chapter 391: Bael Event Start and Preparation |
When I got back to Liebling, I was stuck, so the girls helped me put the items in my inventory. First, they put weapons, event items and tools.
In addition, I put the water, wood and ingredients I bought from Aquas into Sukuna Bikona. Phew...I made it in time. A little later, the event start information came.
『It's time to start the event. Forced transfer of event participants will be performed』
We were forcibly transferred to the first island.
When everyone gathered, an image appeared in the sky. A frog wearing a crown appears in the image. Is that Bael? He looks weak.
『Aaah...welcome! To my game! Poor mortals! I am Bael the Demon King! Let me explain the game to you once again』
Why the child's voice? Is the Demon King so short of talent? Well, never mind. Let's hear the explanation.
『You will now conquer the five islands I have prepared for you. If you can liberate all five islands, you win. If all your islands are destroyed, I win. Easy, isn't it?』
This guy is getting on my nerves.... He looks down on us completely.
So, they are targeting bases and ships. The rest of the information was pretty much the same as before.
And at the end, there was still a story.
『If any of you win the game, I will recognize your strength and take you on myself』
It's the same as by Astaroth. He would appear as a raid boss.
『Then, let the game begin! Let's have some fun!』
The game started and everyone moved at once. On the other hand, I haven't eaten lunch. Well, I brought in the ingredients, so that's good. I explained to Saba Can-san and logged out.
After finishing my lunch, I logged into the game and the number of players disappeared at once. Well, I'm going to do some production work. But I can't move, so it's up to Lily and the others to do it.
For now, I asked the girls without production skills to make a lot of ice. Here is the finished ice.
Aquas Ice: Rarity 9, Material, Quality A
Ice made from the water of Aquas. The ice has a very high cooling effect and does not change the taste of drinks even if it turns into water. It tastes outstanding even when eaten as is.
I can't wait for shaved ice. But for now, I'll be patient. I couldn't buy much aquas water.
Well, let's start with the coconuts and clean up first. I'll show Ion and Koihi how to do it. There are three hollows on the coconut. Find a soft hollow in the coconut and make a hole with a knife.
Once the hole is made, turn the coconut over to get the coconut juice. Normally you can only get it from young coconuts, but in this game it seems to come from regular coconuts.
"This is easy...and"
"It smells sweet..."
"Don't drink it"
Don't even try to spoil me! Here's what I got.
Coconut Juice: Rarity 7 Cooking, Quality B
A clear liquid contained in coconuts. It is loved by island and desert people as a nourishing drink.
After removing the coconut juice, the next step is to break the coconut. Lily takes out a hammer after a long time.
"Yoishyo!"
The coconut cracks. From the cracked coconut, the pulp, endosperm and fibers are removed. I appraise them.
Coconut Pulp: Rarity 7, Ingredient, Quality B-
The pulp inside a coconut. An ingredient with little taste, texture and aroma. Rich in nutrients, but not a favorite ingredient.
Coconut Endosperm: Rarity 7, Ingredient, Quality B-
The endosperm inside the coconut. When boiled in water, coconut milk can be made. When dried, copra can be made.
Coconut Fiber: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B
Fiber obtained from coconuts. Because of its resistance to salt water, it is used to make ropes and nets. It is also used for clothes and mats.
Unexpectedly, I felt cool about the name of coconut fiber. Now, when we all tasted the coconut pulp, our tastes were divided.
Setia and Mir seemed to like it, but the rest were not so sure. I was on the subtle side too. But I'll keep this in a safe place, because it is very tasty in a shake.
Coconut fiber is where Wako and Aranea come in. They dexterously make a net. Here's the finished product!
Coir Net: Rarity 7, Net, Quality B
Equipment for fishermen and fisherwomen only. Fishing net made from coconut fiber. Because of its resistance to salt water, this net is ideal for net fishing in the sea.
Why is it exclusive equipment! Let ordinary players have it!
I asked them to make a rope for me with a single-minded hope. Here is the finished product.
Coir Yarn: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B
Rope made from coconut fiber. It is mainly used as a rope for boats. It can also be used as a weapon. It is also used in a wide range of applications such as mountain climbing items and new weapon materials.
This item is treated the same as a needle. The existence of rope is huge. Let's get a lot of them made.
Meanwhile, Setia was also struggling with new woods. First of all, oak is expected to be better than baobab cane, but first, she needs to make a lot of wood pieces. Here are the appraisal results.
Oak Splinter: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B
A piece of oak processed into a square shape.
Well, the use for this alone is unknown. However, I was able to get a material for rune magic with this. All we have to do now is to prepare the rune magic.
I also got an oak branch from Setia.
"Drying!"
I dry the oak branch and cut the branch into small pieces with scissors. Here is the finished product.
Oak Smoke Chip: Rarity 7, Material, Quality C-
A material used for smoked food. When lit, it produces great smoke and the smell of oak, so be careful if you don't like it.
The quality is shabby...smoke chips are originally made by machine. But now we're ready for some smoked food! Oh...shoot. Shouldn't I have stuck to smoked chips? Well, no matter.
She uses yew wood for staff and arrows. She wants to use the fangs of the Hydra, so it must be evil.
But she doesn't use dragonwood. The reason is that it's a waste. The only jewel we have is sapphire. It can't be used for a staff.
When everyone was producing, it was conspicuous, so everyone spotted us. Yug-san and Shallow-san were especially shocked.
"It's new wood!? And there's a lot of it!?"
"We took it this morning. I needed it for a trump card"
"You can't use this much, can you? I'll buy it"
"No, I don't want to. I'll use it all"
Yug-san screams at Setia's refusal. Mew-san and the others are trying to calm her down. Shallow-san, on the other hand, is still a net.
"Takuto-san, this is..."
"It's a net. I made it, but it looks like a fisherman's special equipment, so I left it as it is"
"L, Let me buy it!"
O, Oh? Is it good? I had an image that fishermen don't like net fishing. Then comes Mew-san.
"The existence of nets is an item that shakes the very foundations of fishermen and fisherwomen. Because all this weapon says is that it is best for fishing"
I understood when she said that much. It is true that nets have been used for traps and other purposes for a long time. In other words, it is a weapon that can be used both for fishing and as a weapon. Shallow-san had given me fish and it was a useless weapon anyway. I'll give it to him.
"I'm sorry. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you. In return, please choose one of the items in this exchange"
The special equipment has been turned into a reward item!
"I'd be grateful if I could exchange it for an event item. I expect you to play a big role"
"Hahaha...that's a lot of pressure. But I also have a harpoon and I'll do my best"
Shallow-san is motivated! Then Shallow-san looks at the rope.
"By the way, what are you going to use this rope for?"
"I want to do aaaaahhh like a pirate!"
『I know!』
The male players agreed. Shallow-san is absolutely thrilled. I guess everyone wants to do it. Then, Hokage-san paid attention to the smoke chip.
"I think I can make smoke balls with this, degozaru"
"If you can make them with this, it doesn't seem much different from putting smoke in a normal bowl, does it?"
"I have tried many ways, that I have, but I can't make a good one, degozaru"
Well, the smoke ball is one of the synonyms of a ninja. If I could make one, I would like to buy one. Then Ruin-san came.
"Everyone go back to your posts. The event has already started"
『Yes Ma´am!』
"Y, You guys...you had a meeting beforehand!"
That's probably not true.
The end was finally in sight as we were all sharing the production work. I was in the middle of preparing the rune magic myself when the information came.
『Your rune magic level has reached 10. You have acquired the rune magic 【Rune of Wind】 and 【Rune of Fire】』
I immediately made and used them. First of all, the wind rune generated wind like a windproof skill from a piece of wood. In other words, it's defensive rune magic.
Next, the fire rune, fire extended from the piece of wood toward the target and ignited. This one is for attack. I think wind is more useful.
After making these, the whole production process was over. As a result, we got a lot of ingredients and ropes. And here are the arrows Setia made.
Hydra Poison Arrow: Rarity: 8, Arrow, Quality B
Weight: 30 Durability: 60 Attack Power: 70
Effect: Increase flying distance (extreme), lethal poison
This arrow is coated with the fangs of a hydra and the blood of a deadly poison made from a yew tree. The effect of the yew tree makes it possible to snipe at long range.
A long-range, poisonous arrow from a hydra is a nightmare. However, only a few of these could be made due to the hydra's fangs. It's a perfect trump card.
Then I received a report from Ruin-san. They have conquered the first island. Furthermore, it seems that a large number of fish-type monsters have appeared.
It took us about two hours to reach the first island without a high-speed boat or battle. After that, it took about an hour to reach the point where the boss appeared. The island was so rugged and rocky that horses could not be used. That's quite a long time.
The boss's name is Devil Crayfish. Devil crayfish. Tesshin-san defeated it with a single blow. He is fast, Tesshin-san.
Leaving the first island's defenders from the fleet, we proceeded to the second island while fighting monsters.
"At this rate, will they attack the second island at night?"
"I think so...considering the same distance and the fact that there will be some people who will be stranded due to the battle and some who will want to log out, I would calculate that we will attack at around 9:00 p.m"
"Takuto-kun, could you log out while you still can and leave with the supply ship at 7:00 pm?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Ruin-san holds her head down as I salute to her. I'll do my best to get Ruin-san used to it.
