Volume 4 / Chapter 115

Park Jin Hyuk swallowed and walks around inside the mega tower as if it is his house . One floor has a tremendous amount of space and it is plastered in items .

The floors are separated so that some are level E and some are level D and C . They cannot go up to level B because the store has not been opened yet .

And this is just the tip of the iceberg . There are hundreds of stores of this scale in Mechanic City, and each store has items that they sell .

If they want to buy the items that they want, they will need to go around to find them .

The more surprising thing is something that even shocks Cha Jun Sung . This will be the same with other Lifers .

“We can sell items we buy in Mechanic City to Lifers?”

-[That is right . As a privilege for level C Lifers, the PDA store is a solitary means but Mechanic City stores are enduring . ]

-[They need to be items that you purchase because you have a purpose for it . Whether you purchased in store or from other Lifers . ]

If they are careful, they can save on points . If they only buy what they need and then sell when it is time to replace, it will be a lot of help .

The helpers have already taken action in the case of abuse . They have made it so that they cannot go beyond a certain amount of points when selling items that they purchased .

They could benefit if they want to, but they cannot profiteer . If that condition is released, the purpose of Mechanic City disappears .

It is annoying for groups and a good thing for individuals like Cha Jun Sung .

“Wow! It’s really comfortable to see everything together after going through lists . ”

It seemed mundane when they saw through their PDAs, but they now realized that there had been a lot of uncomfortable aspects to it .

They have nothing to buy, but there is fun in looking around . Honestly speaking, it is not that there is nothing they want to buy . There are, but they do not have enough points .

-[Time Limit: 8 million points, 1 . 6 million achievement . ]

-[Explanation: Two hearts method . Since 2 energy cores are attached, the vibration strength will be multiplied . It boasts incredible cutting power, but you need to keep in mind that there is that much risk . ]

It is the weapon that Cha Jun Sung favored when he was mid-level . The names are the same in the virtual and in reality .

Though it is included in the usual meaning and vibrating category, two heart activates 2 energy cores simultaneously and output is increased .

Overload – it is the perfect weapon for Cha Jun Sung .

Each of the party members stand in front of the weapon of their dreams and look on affectionately . This drought of points does not end no matter how much they gather .

‘Is there a way to use the city to gain points? I feel like there is . ’

There is . Though it may take some time, there is a way . However, Odin did not tell him what it is . Lifers need to figure this part out for themselves .

10,000 gained entry into Mechanic City, but no one noticed it . It is because there is not a single Lifer who has a job related to it .

They do not have time to think about how to make money when they are busy trying to get used to the city .

But it is not that difficult . Access is easier than expected as well . The only difference is who is first, and Lifers will figure it out soon .

Once that method is revealed, there will be strife . As they advance to more favorable positions, they will have more influence in Mechanic City .

After looking around the store for several hours, Cha Jun Sung went to look for an apartment . If they want to stay in Mechanic City, they will need a place to stay .

He is not going to go back to reality for the time being . He needs to experience the happenings of this place in order to get used to it .

The party members also respected his decision and enjoyed it as though they had come on vacation . Everything they saw was novel and exciting .

“I thought it’d be extremely expensive, but it’s cheap to rent if we just lower our standards . ”

Park Jin Hyuk looked through a stack of papers covered in complicated numbers .

It is the pricing of dwellings by zone and area . There is not a separate realtor, but the way to trade is not very different from their methods at home .

When they find the buildings that are up for purchase, there is a cyborg in charge of managing it . As long as they have the points, they can become the owners on the spot .

The basics are trading, charters, and rentals, and the points they need to pay are widely split by the location and size .

The zones are A through Z and there are 30 areas in each zone . There is no difference between zones, but the prices are more expensive as the area number is lower .

For example, zone W area 2 where Park Jin Hyuk was summoned is slightly better than zone A area 3 where Cha Jun Sung was summoned .

The area that Park Jin Hyuk is talking about is above area 25 – a neighborhood on the outskirts if compared with Seoul .

As areas 25 through 30 are cheap, they are lacking in amenities for Lifers .

They need to come out a far distance if they want to buy something without using the PDA . It needs to be at least area 20 for it to be a neighborhood that can be lived in .

Since they have figured out the usefulness of Mechanic City, they cannot decide on an apartment without thought . There are too many things that they need to consider before making a decision .

“We can’t ignore geographic factors . It’ll come into play a lot later . ”

“I know that too . I’m just saying that we should start out easily because we don’t have enough points to overdo it and there aren’t very many competitors . ”

They can get one room for a couple thousand points in cheap places on trading standards .

Since the prices get higher as the area goes lower, a small apartment or house in zone A area 3, where they are now, will cost tens of thousands of points .

Large ones will go from 500,000 to 1 million, and buildings reach over 2 million to 3 million . The mega tower with stores or buildings with dozens of floors are in the tens of millions .

As the price is higher, there are more benefits . There are so many that they cannot be listed .

“Odin, that building . Is it the place I’m thinking of in Life Mission?”

-[You are right . This is maintained on a system that is 100% in synchronization with the virtual version . ]

The building that Cha Jun Sung is looking at is not that much smaller than the mega tower . It can be used as residence, but it is not a store .

Training Room .

It does not mean a gym or health center . It is a place for training where Lifers can virtually battle all types of mutants .

It plays as important a role as stores do to Lifers . It is something he had wished to see, but it was a new feeling to see it in reality .

“Let’s go there and then decide . Let’s each try it out while we’re there . Jin Hyuk, I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen this since it hasn’t been long since you joined Life Mission . ”

The training room system only takes above level 5 . This means that there is no information on levels 1 through 4 . Park Jin Hyuk was in Life Mission for a shorter period of time .

He would not have been able to gain entry in the short period of 1 year .

Koharu and Kyoko frequented it, so they only showed interest and did not get surprised . Cha Jun Sung and the party members walked over slowly .

Zing!

When they got to the entrance, the door opened automatically . A cyborg was waiting at the counter . There is no greeting to welcome the guests .

The cyborg explained concisely . There are many ways to get season passes, but Cha Jun Sung’s group only got a one-day pass .

They received cards that would allow them to deal with levels 5 and 6 for a day . The price is 20,000 points – expensive for a one-day pass, but it is worth trying out .

Cha Jun Sung’s group went into a large space that the cyborg led them to .

Physical examinations would soon be starting . They will need to create characters if they want to go into virtual battle and in order to do that, they need to quantify Lifers’ physical abilities .

Everyone except Park Jin Hyuk was used to it . Bizarre machines measured their muscular strength, health, and speed, and had all of their gear inspected as well .

The examination ended after about 1 hour . It did not take too long .

They left the examination room and went to the rooms written on each of their cards . They can fight as a party, but they decided to experience it separately .

The training room in zone A area 3 is empty as Cha Jun Sung’s group is the only people there . In a few months, it will be packed with Lifers .

If people use tricks like riding buses, they can get to level C . They just cannot get over to level B through the level C advance mission because they will be held back by contribution .

The room provided a pleasant space for people to stay in . It is like a luxury apartment . He can see a wide space that leads into the room on the right .

It is blocked with a glass door and there is a card reader .

Woong!

-[Card scan, one-day pass confirmed . Entry into training room allowed . ]

It is a dark atmosphere . It is normally like this . It is easier to concentrate in a dark space than in a bright area . It has been created so that Lifers can concentrate .

There is a cushioned chair in the middle of the room with a helmet . It is the gear that makes the virtual battle possible .

Beep beep!

Cha Jun Sung put the helmet on, sat on the chair, and saw a large hologram pull up in front of him . There is a selection of many level 5 and 6 mutants and maps .

“Search, Caicus . ”

A list of hundreds of mutants is only dizzying .

One day is not a generous amount of time . It is obvious that he will lose to a level 6, and it is better to choose a particular type of level 5 instead of looking through all of them .

-[Searching Caicus… . . Search complete . Please select details . ]

Just as people have different physical conditions, there is a difference between mutants of the same species . It is telling him to choose between whether he will fight with a weak one or a strong one .

The Caicus in 9 to 10 meters tall and has 100 times the muscular strength of humans . There are many other surprising aspects about it, but this is the basic form .

If he chooses one with the highest specifications, it will be like a top level 5 .

“Start with a weak one . ”

He will start out easy . Cha Jun Sung honestly did not think that he could win if facing it off one-on-one . They will be similar or he will be disadvantaged .

Winning? It is important . If he wants to complete the mission, he will need to kill the strongest mutant that appears in that mission .

But that is the case when going through a mission in real life . Right now, it is more important to focus on understanding the Caicus than it is to win .

He fought it countless times in the virtual,  but he cannot become arrogant . If this happens, everything he creates in the future will collapse .

“Let’s have fun for one day, today . ”

He will put his entire body into it since there is no danger of dying .
