Volume 4 / Chapter 114

“The hell… . . ”
-[To put it simply, Mechanic City is a large public briefing room . ]
Cha Jun Sung was speechless with Odin’s explanation and the new world opening up in front of him .
He had thought that nothing more in Life Mission could surprise him, but this was just an illusion . As the level goes up, there are things coming out that are beyond common sense .
A large city with an area of 2000km . It is larger than Korea’s Jeju Island . It is like looking 100 years into the future, full of things that they do not know of now .
It is too big to say that it is a city . It is the size of a small country .
After meeting Empress of Light, he accepted the changes while going through the PDA as usual while resting .
The path to Mechanic City is not hard . If they say that they want to go, the assigned helpers set the coordinates and open the gates . Since it is not a mission, they can go back whenever they want .
-[Extensive system . The human brain capacity can understand this concept at once . We will explain it whenever necessary . ]
“I don’t have to understand everything . It’s like a city in Life Mission . ”
It is a game . The only difference is that it is not connected to brainwaves like in the virtual, but has come over to the true body in reality . That is all he needs to know .
He will learn the parts of the extensive system over time . At times, it is easier to learn with the body than with the mind .
Cha Jun Sung looked around and thought, ‘So this is Mechanic City . ’ The notepad does not detail specific parts . It only gives an overview of the main points .
It does not lay everything out, but just things like ‘Mechanic City opens when the number of Lifers who have opened level C reaches over 10,000 . ’
His surprise had been great even though he had already known about it, no matter how indirectly . So the average person would be dismayed .
“Without getting complicated, only explain the basics that I need to know immediately . ”
Even if he is going to get to know the basics by experiencing them, he cannot wander around this large city without knowing anything . He needs to at least know the basics .
-[Mechanic City is maintained by top level and special cyborgs, and the only living beings who can enter are only Lifers who have met the conditions . ]
-[It is a city . There are residential buildings there, so Lifers can live there if they use up all of their points . ]
It means that they could completely live in Life Mission . If they do not return to reality, they become people who do not exist there . It is similar to migration or immigration .
This is welcoming for people who want to live freely in Life Mission without entering missions through separate dimensions and going through a process .
-[All items from levels S through E are sold because it is the store headquarters, but entry is limited if the level is not met . ]
The basic principles of level classification are the same . If the PDA is an internet shopping mall, Mechanic City is a department store . This alone gives it a different flavor .
“Are there any places that are restricted or off-limits to Lifers?”
-[As long as they do not try to go outside, there will be no sanctions . ]
-[The levels will separate the restricted areas, so they are not specified . Do not worry because you will not be arrested or anything . ]
Odin told him that Mechanic City is created as a dome . It is covered in an incredibly thick alloy, so they could not get out even if they wanted to .
Put nicely, it is a large city . Put in another way, it is an isolated area . There are no complaints . A 2000km area is perfect to become tired just by moving around .
[If any wares are damaged, Lifers must pay in corresponding points . ]
It sounds like they are being told not to make a fuss, but that is not the only thing . It said that it would not become involved in any way in Lifers’ PKs or disputes .
Lifers can do whatever they want as long as they do not cause damage to the city .
Cha Jun Sung left the outer area and went toward the city center . There is a skyscraper with dozens of floors . Even the architecture is all state-of-the-art .
The exterior is grand, but the quiet is reminiscent of a ghost town .
It opened today . There are 10,000 people entering . There will be more going forward, but it is large enough for millions of people to live in . It is lacking compared to the area .
On top of that, the 10,000 people were summoned to different locations and not everyone had been summoned . They do not know the geography, so they cannot meet even if they want to .
-[Jun Sung, where are you? This place is huge . What is this? We’re like families that were separated or something . ]
Park Jin Hyuk’s voice comes out of the PDA . Where is he? How would he know . It is difficult to even choose a direction immediately . They are going wherever their steps lead them .
-[Cha Jun Sung, your location is zone A area 3 . Exchanging locations with helper Zephyrus . Park Jin Hyuk is zone W area 2 . The distance is 94km . ]
Odin exchanged locations with Zephyrus . They are 94km apart . It would take days to meet by walking . If they get lost, there will be no end .
-[Since we’re all separated, we should meet where Jun Sung is . ]
-[Okay!]
-[Good!]
Kyoko made the suggestion . It is right for them to go to the leader . The locations have been identified due to the helpers . They just have to choose a place to meet and get to the area .
***
Moving is easy . There is mundane transportation as there is in reality . There are taxis, subways, and buses . As it is a quiet town, of course there are no Lifers .
There was no traffic because there were no people, so they were able to meet that much faster .
“I saw 2 people on my way here . ”
“Really?”
“Yes . We only talked for a moment and they said something about Spain, but they said they were a cadre of a large guild . They looked really confused too since they aren’t used to all of this yet . ”
Park Jin Hyuk saw Lifers while he was walking around . They are all in the same situation so they did not ask each other anything and simply exchanged courtesies .
Cha Jun Sung, Kyoko, and Koharu in contrast, did not see any Lifers . Whatever they are doing and where they are hiding, they cannot be seen anywhere .
They do not have the thought that they need to meet others . It is just an observation .
When they were standing on the roadside, several heavily armed cyborgs passed them . They did not pay attention as though inanimate .
“Look how they’re armed . They’re holding all sorts of things . It’s war setting . ”
Park Jin Hyuk looked at the passing cyborgs and whistled . Like he said, the cyborgs’ arms are great enough to bring out admiration .
They seem to be the best . Their basic battling efficiency must be at least level 5 . With that setting, they are estimated to be high level 5 or mid level 6 .
“They need to do that much to prevent any Lifers’ unexpected behavior . ”
“Is that right?”
“Imagine there’s someone making a fuss with a battleshoot on . They’ll need to beat them if they need to in order to calm them down . It’s a safety device to protect this city . ”
-[You have guessed similarly . As there are more Lifers, there will be more cyborgs . Everything will be in proportion . ]
Odin added on to Cha Jun Sung’s explanation . It is on speaker mode for the entire party to hear so that Park Jin Hyuk and the others could understand as well .
As the number of people entering increases, there will be weird people mixed in . If there is 1 crazy person in every 10,000, there will be 100 in 1 million people .
This is not the ultimate goal, but policing is one of the reasons for placing battle cyborgs . If they let their guards down, the city will fall into chaos .
“Well this is so sudden that I don’t know what we’re supposed to do first . ”
“Since we’re here, let’s look around the city and find a place for us to stay . Once there’s an inflow of Lifers, there will be rapid changes to this place . ”
It is empty and boring now, but say hundreds of people come gathering in . They will see the bizarre scenes they saw in the virtual version again .
They will be coming in and out constantly, and they cannot rule out the chance that they might stay long term . They need to select a good residence just in case that happens .
When there are more Lifers and an imbalanced supply and demand, Mechanic City would be occupied and they might have to stay in a cheap house .
“Let’s go there first . ”
Cha Jun Sung pointed to the tremendous skyscraper . It is a mega tower, used as a place to meet . Its other significance is the store .
