Episode 343
Yongdu Island!
Khan Daydream said there was a backstory to this place. It seemed like it would be worth it.
First of all, isn’t its appearance unusual?
Moreover, the staff of life, or rather the fragment 77 of the collapsed world, is shining at the top.
“There might be treasure or dungeon ruins there.”
Greed is stirring!
The disconnection dungeons I’ve cleared so far have been nothing special. But this time, I felt like it was real.
When I headed in the direction indicated by the compass, I was able to arrive at the lower part of Yongdu Island.
“?”
But for some reason, the popularity remained.
Footprints on the dirt floor.
X was shocked.
“…Surely there is a player who came this far?”
These guys are crazy because they really want to die!
Any Fate player cannot be unaware of the dangers of dragons.
It’s level is easily over 2,000, and it’s so strong that it can’t be compared to monsters of the same level.
I didn’t understand it through common sense.
“Wow, it’s amazing that you crawled all the way here.”
Shaking my head.
X shook his head.
Anyway, it was X who first discovered Yongdu Island.
Even if there were people who arrived first, it would be impossible to clear the dungeon or ruins.
visor.
X took out his weapon.
“Let’s go in, Yongyong.”
Bulm.
Yongyong, who was sniffling, followed behind X.
“…It smells kind of familiar.”
A mixture of familiar smells was wafting out.
As I followed the scent, a large stone door appeared in a crevice in the rock. Yongyong called X.
“Get it here!”
“How did you come to know about this?”
Finding the entrance wasn’t easy either. If Yongyong wasn’t there, X would have been lost for a long time.
Maybe it’s an NPC and not a player? Reasonable doubts began to arise.
“You’ll find out when you go in.”
Whether you are a player or an NPC, you are the one who clears it. With a firm resolve, X opened the stone door and entered.
Tiroling!
As soon as my vision darkened, a notification rang.
[Entering the ancient ruins ‘Yongdu Island’!]
“…Ruins!”
Dungeons and ruins.
Although both have boss monsters and huge loot, there is a clear difference between dungeons and ruins.
First of all, there was a difference in the number of monsters.
Monsters respawn endlessly until the dungeon is cleared. Meanwhile, a certain number of monsters appeared in the ruins.
There were also differences in the loot that could be obtained.
‘Relic items appear in the ruins first!’
Artifact grade item!
Boss monsters in ruins have a high probability of dropping a set of relics.
Separate relic items are inferior to unique grade items, but the story changes once you receive the set effect.
Thanks to this, relic items in sets are sold at extremely high prices at auction houses.
“If you just listen to the explanation…”
Anyone can see that the ruins look better than the dungeon. However, clearing the ruins is not easy.
Above all, unlike dungeons, there are numerous traps in ruins.
It is difficult to attack the ruins unless you have a special profession such as a trap maker or explorer.
Of course, it was a stranger’s story to X!
“It’s okay to just step on a trap.”
Ignorant vitality!

In addition, the blessings of all kinds of rune stones and the effects of the Heavenly Cooking sub-skill.
Oops, the armor is also normal armor?
Considering these things, the probability that X would fall into the trap and die would converge to 0.
“I can survive with just my bare body!”
Needless to say, Yongyong had dragon skin. So, the two walked into the ruins without fear.
Traps triggered everywhere.
Sweet!
Let’s step on something.
[Trap activated!]
[Be careful, poison arrows are flying from all directions!]
Shoo shoo shoo!
As soon as the notification was made, poisonous arrows spewed out from all directions.
“Yes, it tickles.”
“What happened?”
Of course, I easily ignored it and moved forward again.
Degurrr.
Even if a huge boulder falls.
bang!
One punch and it turns to dust. Thanks to this, the loud noise did not stop in the ruins.
Startle!
The advance team that was carefully exploring the ruins could also feel the presence.
Naturally, the advance team was Asus and his companions. Dallas opened his mouth with a very scared expression.
“What on earth does that mean?”
“Maybe it’s a monster?”
“If it was a monster, wouldn’t it have appeared when we entered?”
“That’s it again.”
They chatter anxiously. Even though Asus was an experienced company, it wasn’t that I wasn’t worried.
Anyway, the leader of this party was himself.
Asus ordered.
“I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to confirm the identity of the person making noise at this entrance.”
The group camped at a narrow entrance.
Asus pulled the appropriate item from the inventory.
There were so many items with unique effects that I felt like I could just waste time and run away if I had to.
“You’re definitely crazy to run wild like that in the ruins.”
Gulp!
As I was waiting while listening to the loud noise, I suddenly started to feel dry.
A loud noise gradually gets closer, followed by a shape that is slowly revealed. It was the moment when the eyes of two crazy people met.
“Why are you out there…?”
*
‘Well, I thought it was strange.’
There is no reason for NPCs from the disconnected continent to visit Yongdu Island.
That’s what it means to be a player.
A player who can enter the dragon’s nest without fear and find hidden ruins…
“When I thought about it, you were the only one.”
Asus answered.
“Who is going to say it?”
This was the first time in the legendary explorer’s life that he had seen ruins like this.
It’s full of traps that can kill you even if you pass by them! If I didn’t have the legendary explorer’s special skill, I would have been forced to log out a long time ago.
It’s a monster that approaches while activating all those traps… When I thought about it, this was only X.
Katharine spoke to X.
“How can there be such coincidences?”
“Iknow, right.”
“They say that if that coincidence continues, it’s meant to be….”
Sigh.
Katharine’s subtle gaze towards Danwoo.
“If the relationship turns over, the lover… yay!”
Kuuk.
Danwoo pinched Katharine’s exposed side. Danwoo asked calmly.
“Anyway, how did you come here?”
“Actually, I got an item with amazing effects.”
“…item? What?”
Asus’ eyes brightened.
Wouldn’t Asus know about Leo Gagali?
I handed the compass to Asus to at least appraise it. Astonishment appeared on Asus’ face at the compass’ effect.
“What is this fraudulent effect? Wow, keep this for yourself. “If something like this is released into the world, the status of a legendary explorer will be reduced to shit.”
Hidden class legendary explorer.
It was a compass with comparable effectiveness. Asus shook his head as if he had seen something he had not seen.
X took the compass and asked.
“Have you never heard of Leo Gagali?”
“Leo Merci? “I don’t know, I’m not interested in other adventurers.”
If you didn’t know, it was inevitable. X explored the ruins at the speed of Asus and the others.
Anyway, isn’t this also fate? When the rest point appeared, X asked Yongyong.
“Yongyong, please prepare that.”
“I got it!”
Yongyong freely utilizes subspace. Soon, a gun carriage that did not fit the ruins at all appeared.
Colors appeared on the faces of those gathered. Dallas looked around at the gun carriage.
“This is X’s gun carriage that I’ve only heard about through rumors…!”
“Don’t you know that there is chaos on the Arba Continent as well?”
“Has the rumor spread there?”
A horse without feet can travel a thousand miles!
The news that X had started a gun carriage and the good deeds he had done on the Severed Continent were spread to the Arba Continent and across the sea to the East Continent.
Asus added a word.
“I never thought I would become famous through the food business. “You still haven’t forgotten your original intention?”
A cozy meal!
Even though X was obsessed with gold, he still had a conscience.
From exploring the East Continent to keeping other beings in check. He was not shameless enough to receive gold from those who went through hardships with him.
“nice! “I opened my wallet for this delicious taste.”
“The effect has improved a lot since last time?!”
“Our Yongyong eats a lot too.”
“He eats a lot even without saying anything.”
Meal over!
X and his companions began exploring the ruins again.
“Actually, it’s my first time exploring ruins properly. “I will explore this area at my own pace this time to gain experience.”
Excluding special circumstances, X has repeatedly hunted in hunting grounds that others cannot visit.
X decided to take a step back in order to gain new experiences and check out their strengths behind the scenes.
Close.
Katharine hugged Yongyong.
“But Yongyong will help us, right?”
“I am different from an irresponsible owner!”
“Reliable. “Our Yongyong.”
It looks like the running has not yet come to an end. How far did it go like that?
Food!
Suddenly, the sound of something flying was heard.
“Everyone prepare for battle.”
Asus, who was in the lead, lowered himself closely.
Those who take out their weapons.
Danwoo, who was able to fulfill the tank role, stepped forward. He advanced forward holding his shield as high as he could.
“Ugh!”
Danwoo immediately let out a terrified scream.
The group was left wondering if they were suffering from a fear debuff. But soon I was able to naturally understand the reason.
Food!
Giant cockroaches rushing towards you, waving their wings!
“Bar cockroach?”
“Ugh, it’s scary big, isn’t it?”
“Wow, a wheel as big as a person is flying!”
Sometimes what is familiar is more frightening. The dragon roach felt more repulsive than the polluted creatures.
Although they were ready for battle with an indomitable will, the faces of the companions had long since become distorted.
Moreover, the level was not low.
A whopping 1400!
It is not surprising that Asus, who has the weakest physical strength among the party, loses his life in one hit.
Yes, if it were like normal times, this party would have been wiped out. But…
“I can still see the pattern!”
Haven’t they been eating heavenly food?
bang!
Danwoo gritted his teeth and blocked the attack.
[Fatal blow!]
Although there was a critical hit due to the level difference, it did not cause much damage. There was Yongyong, the strongest creature, who promised to cooperate with the party.
Tuk!
Yongyong instantly killed the dragon roach that was charging towards him with a single tail strike.
Asus finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Really, if I hadn’t met you, we would have been wiped out here. Thank you again.”
Was he even listening? X, who had found his original intention, was swallowing his saliva.
‘The chubby thing has gained as much weight as it should!’
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
