1st place Guild's D-class Guild Leader Episode 4

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

I wandered around with Lyrit and found a small cave off the beaten path.

 

Inside, fortunately, there was no sign of the others.

 

"It's already sunset. It's dangerous, so don't move any further, let's rest here."

 

Lirit was overjoyed that she could finally rest, and she went right inside.

 

The status window displays the time. The sun had already set, and there were about 20 minutes left until midnight's reckoning.

 

Before the end of the day, we took bread from another supply box we found and broke it in half. Half the water was also divided.

 

He stared at Lilit's red lips pursed for a moment before opening his mouth.

 

"Tomorrow when Day 2 begins, you'll be hiding in this burrow. I'll go out on my own and come back. I'll definitely be back."

 

I promised Lirt. I even walked my pinky finger in case I didn't believe it.

 

Perhaps worried about this, Lilit looked at me anxiously.

 

"What if you die?"

 

"I'm not dying. I'm going to live somehow."

 

I deliberately picked out comments that looked cool.

 

With only a few days left until the first day count, it was to pull out the scene as far as possible from the viewers' popularity vote.

 

As time passed, the exhausted Lirit leaned against the wall of the cave and began to doze off.

 

Even then, I was watching the timer dwindle to 3, 2, 1, until the closing time.

 

 

 

[Stop!]

 

[Everyone, stop the fight, and now you have 5 minutes to check the results and move to a safe place to rest.]

 

 

 

If you're still fighting or wandering through the woods, crawl somewhere and get ready for bed. Lilit and I are already ready.

 

 

 

[Day 1 has ended.]

 

[From now on, we will release the results of the ranking settlement for Day 1 individually. Survivors should check the results and rewards before taking a break for Day 2.

 

Please note that if Day 2 has not started and the contestant starts the fight, they will be eliminated immediately.]

 

 

 

Lilit woke up and rubbed the corners of her eyes. The text focused on his status window as it went down.

 

(Of course, everyone can only see their own windows, so from the outside, it looks like both I and Lirit are looking into the void.)

 

 

 

[Day 1 Settlement.]

 

[Of the 600 participants, there are 381 total survivors.]

 

 

 

You've killed a lot of people.

 

Lyrit shuddered as he counted the dead.

 

I was still too early to fully recognize the character as a life, so I just vaguely imagined who those kill points would have gone to and how much.

 

 

 

[All participants have just been sent their personal ranking scorecards.]

 

[Click "Browse" at the bottom to confirm.]

 

 

 

Name: Rudel

 

Congratulations! You've survived Day 1!

 

[Daily Settlement]

 

Kill Points: +0

 

Collected Points: +1140

 

Points Played: +162678

 

 

 

 

 

As I read through it for free, my eyes rolled over when I saw the number of "play points."

 

No, I found three boxes and it was 1140 points, but what is that hundred thousand number? You have to find 100 chests to get there!

 

"Rudel, can I ask you something?"

 

In my astonishment, Lirit poked me in the shoulder with his fine fingers.

 

"Do you know what this point of play is?"

 

Suddenly, I thought that if I looked at the results of the retribution together, I would be able to make an analogy.

 

"Lirt, can I look at you?"

 

"Yes! Here."

 

Lirit immediately shared the results window with me.

 

He doesn't know how to doubt people, and he's nice.

 

It's not that he trusts me in particular, but I think he was willing to show his information to everyone.

 

Innocent and kind-hearted Lyrith. I'm going to protect you.

 

I looked at the two results side by side.

 

 

 

Name: Lyrit

 

[Daily Settlement]

 

Kill Points: +0

 

Collected Points: +359

 

Points Played: +192422

 

 

 

 

 

All she did all day was being dragged around by Isfan and finally being rescued by me.

 

That's impressive, but he hasn't accomplished anything that would earn him points of play.

 

And yet you have 30,000 more points than me.

 

Now I know what it is.

 

This point of play is a numerical indicator of the "viewer popularity vote".

 

Game companies can't teach us, the game characters, the concept of 'viewers', so they replaced it with the term 'play point'.

 

It's a pretty plausible camouflage.

 

If you do something active or impressive, your popularity vote score will go up.

 

If you call it a "play point", the characters might naturally be convinced.

 

Again, I made the right choice. Saving Lilit was a boon in the end.

 

 

 

[Levels and rankings will change depending on the results.......]

 

 

 

Beltiron.

 

As the experience points in the game increased, there was a sound effect that increased the level one by one.

 

Tuying, Tuying....... Hey, why does it seem like you're leveling up a lot?

 

 

 

[Level 11!]

 

[Participants' level-up average: 7.6]

 

 

 

Once again, I was thrilled with the miracle of the popular vote of Lyrit.

 

I'm a stat dirt spoon character, and I don't have the power to kill people, level 12? Did you surpass the average of the participants?

 

"Lirith, how much have you leveled up?"

 

"Me 12."

 

Even Lirit has risen by 12 levels. This is the power of the popular vote.

 

I opened the status window to see the stat increase with the level.

 

How much stat does it increase when you go up to level 10?

 

 

 

[Name] Rudel / [Level] 12

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

[HM] 189 / ▲104 / D

 

[Strength] 186 / ▲106 / D

 

[Dexterity] 272 / ▲166 / ▲C

 

 

 

 

 

In just one day, I got a grade that wasn't a D....... It's still the blood of a new foot, but where is it?

 

I can only see hope. I clenched my fists and let out an inward cheer. Lirit looked at me like I was cute.

 

"Lirt, have you raised your stats a lot?"

 

"Wait a minute...... Three stats went up by 80, 80, 70."

 

Even though you're level 1 higher than me, that's it?

 

Perhaps the stat increase varies from character to character. Depending on the initial ability, the percentage of stat growth seems to be measured differently.

 

So how much would people like Isfan have climbed? Damn gold spoon bastards.

 

I'd like to get the GNOME status window and see it as well. I'll have to sneak up tomorrow and see if I can see it.

 

"But, Rudel, I don't know what the last chapter is about."

 

Correct. I was so focused on the level that I forgot the last page of the closing results.

 

Following Lyrith, I flipped through that part as well.

 

Yes?

 

 

 

Daily Closing Comment

 

 

 

 

 

Comment? No way.......

 

 

 

'No, I bet a million on him to die'

 

 

 

 

 

I was stunned for a moment by the familiar text that I thought I would never see anymore.

 

In the final chapter of the closing results, there were a few things that viewers might have said about me.

 

 

 

'The reversal wins, the reversal wins, the reversal wins'

 

"Who is all-in from day one? I'm not going to have a reversal with him. From what I've seen, Rudel didn't buy it by chance, he's shrewd'

 

"That's why you should not look at stats, but look at intelligence."

 

 

 

 

 

Aha. There are a lot of people who bet on "I'm going to Die" and were embarrassed from the day it was released.

 

Come to think of it, it seems that the manual on the game's website says that a few chats posted in the community will be drawn and sent to the game.

 

That's what it was. Having the characters look at things like letters from the internet.

 

 

 

"Isn't it cute to walk hand in hand with Li Lit? (*??? *)?’

 

'I survived well, I'll live tomorrow'

 

'I'm nervous when I throw a stealth potion;;; It's brave'

 

'Thank you for saving Lirith!'

 

 

 

 

 

It's a lottery, but the odds are that the percentage of these comments will probably represent your overall assessment of me.

 

Most of them are puzzled that I survived, or angry that I lost my game currency, but some of them love my chemistry with Lirit and are rooting for my survival.

 

This alone is a great achievement.

 

At the beginning of the game, I was just like, "If you don't die, you'll lose the money I bet on, so die."

 

But by wisely escaping from Nahean, taking the risk and taking the lith out of Ishfan, my stock price has risen slightly.

 

This got me a little bit of "I don't want to die" viewers.

 

"Lirt, can I take a look at yours?"

 

“응!”

 

 

 

'We're so nice...'

 

'What's pretty?'

 

'I don't know, I love you for the time being'

 

 

 

 

 

yes, I expected that. Most of them are praising the beauty and flirting.

 

"What is it? Who wrote me a letter?"

 

Lyrit was puzzled. It's not just Lirith, all the characters want to do something about this.

 

I don't know how to explain to Lilit, "viewers, real users."

 

If I explained the real world outside of the game, the GMs would be frightened and erase me.

 

"You're pretty, kind, and courageous, so maybe Heaven wrote these comments about you."

 

"The sky?"

 

For a moment, I thought about referring to the viewers as "God," but I changed my mind because I felt bad.

 

That's why I used the abstract word "sky." Looking down from overhead, I could see the sky.

 

"You don't have to worry too much, it's just for fun."

 

"Yes!"

 

Lirit nodded, innocently believing in my words.

 

Then came another announcement.

 

 

 

[Rewards will be given according to your level.]

 

 

 

At the same time, two boxes fell in front of each of them.

 

When I opened the box, my eyes widened.

 

Inside, she had various potions, a mini bowgun that could be concealed on her wrist, and a comfortable blouse and slacks that were labeled "body armor."

 

And even steak salad and fried rice in airtight containers with no expiration date.

 

Ok...... This is it. That's the reward.

 

It's a shame I don't have a stealth potion or a gun, but that's about it.

 

Just as he was smiling contentedly, another announcement rang out.

 

 

 

[In addition, from Day 2, the "Inventory" function and "Trait Ability" will be unlocked.]

 

 

 

This was also information that I had already learned from the website.

 

As he nodded his head in agreement with the unfolding, he saw Lirit yawn and crawl into the corner of the den.

 

"Are you going to sleep?"

 

"Yes."

 

"yes, it must have been hard, but I slept soundly."

 

Lilit sat down, smiled at me, and then closed her eyes in peace.

 

When I saw that, I felt tired. I thought I'd better go to bed for tomorrow.

 

I took one last quick glance at the results, then lay down quietly on the opposite floor.
