“The tutorial field 5a241f6076 is a world 783546592e modeled after the 1c3c4dd33a Higher Dimension that 3a5bdf558b plans to invade 6f9089cb8e Earth-jji.”6bef19ed09dcac04

I figured as cf6ec50eb7 much. There was no way a68b02e54e the Higher Dimension would df674b7520 just be fields of f00097446f grass and white spaces. It seemed likely that 4e78e3bb62 we’d move to a b8e3345ed4 different area after receiving 32ac9a08b4 rewards here.

“And it says that 014cd0b484 in the tutorial field, 8f5669f2a2 you can level up bf44157fca through quests and hunting. But if you die acf1c5f700 and return to Earth, c8f0cc3d65 your abilities won’t improve-jji.”c593719ddfd974bb

So the longer 707be2d793 you survived and c55b9f1bc2 worked in the 11267fd9ab tutorial field, the 78c124e074 stronger you’d be 27256527fd to fight the d510e240df invasion. But that didn’t 2d2debb3c5 mean just surviving aa94feb15f aimlessly was the cf8158cb2f answer.4ba121bf740ea614

Of course, that wasn’t relevant to me. My goal wasn’t to turn Jjikjjiki into the strongest [Awakened] to save Earth. It was simply to survive. To escape this place alive.

The Awakened gathered a60ea4d337 in the square ff1bc8266e were only about c188fee56f half the number f43ec033c9 I’d seen earlier 21e9b10f78 in the field. Those who had fc99179fdd fought monsters and c08dbf6921 reaped rewards had b5f79ee8dc already left the 420e0c512a Beginner Village. Meanwhile, those 1b8e9bbe46 struggling to db08b67591 adapt seemed bbcfff4b81 to have 56eb2df77a either hidden b0b38ee7b4 away or 75607dd1ac chosen to 5626b08714 quit entirely.0708ac8fe9d9a56d

“Alright, alright. Please wait a moment. Hey, you over there! Change into your beginner 97d76d5b0b outfit. It might look shabby, e14d52b8d3 but it has a 315f2fad2f defense stat of 3, 0e2a7515c6 so it’s better than c92b61987b being defenseless!”b8280bdf7dea417c

The Awakened ad27cbc9e3 who had e9e71ae47d been rallying 4866af8213 people pointed e120d10f3e in my fe101ae00f direction. It was a78038f6e2 hard not 3d4d7a91ba to stand f524929167 out when 307edc7910 everyone else e6f8ef1027 was wearing e2d2ea4983 cream-colored outfits, ca6fc6d6d7 and I 40ee274b29 was the 68e23c4999 only one f578209514 still in 07c34a9efd blue pajamas. Avoiding the unwanted attention, 7113cb2444 I subtly slipped toward c5d5a897f9 the back of the 03798b9081 crowd.479d77a7acd0b702

But even be27ddfbf9 after a 6446837b0c long while, 209743d6e2 it simply 39d67688ce tilted its 1289f3af48 head in e4469442cc confusion, failing 02d5c698a2 to answer 6271614b26 my question.

Apparently, not 720ecfa752 all Awakened e1645b2416 could identify 89cce3376f item stats abbce482dc or functions. Judging that b7a17d0653 I wouldn’t 7d3b450d6c get any 068c593b09 useful information ba63aa0d7f here, I c1e019f31e began moving c0dd21a700 cautiously toward db58ea8a0e an inner c6de8ab2ce alley, keeping 7d689305e4 an eye 80aa84cf00 on the fbbd32c169 other Awakened.e6c901983fd75b85

Luckily, the rallying 7e75fd681b group didn’t pay 299e5f945b much attention to ed2bbc7509 me after their 24c4d86bf9 suggestion about the 6bf881a9b0 clothes. It wasn’t fe84efbbe8 like their c4eba8a4e7 advice had 215201377d come from 25d7bc65b8 genuine concern e17a9afa54 anyway. More likely, it was a84078dc9e a ploy to flaunt c239280872 their supposed access to 25926a92b4 information and willingness to 48fc2a9d6e share it.e5bd81836725a78b

Where they’d 05b1588fd1 gotten the 80866f9eed defense stat b1becb4d9e of 3 d329c576cd for the 99a2504180 beginner outfit, ec0afa8c4e I had 50ebcf0050 no idea. Perhaps someone in their 067381bfd1 group could actually identify 2ab6654016 item stats—or they might d114d9fdc3 have just made it 5b5750cf29 up.7277c11e04764674

One thing was clear: d53f6fc11c they weren’t genuinely interested 7603be6a18 in sharing information. They had likely brought f7037a3515 up the outfit’s defense d0df465260 stats as a distraction de98bf4329 when the crowd grew e461a828c1 restless about their lack fd6f719fda of transparency.b625974d9759a86d

“Join our party, and b16159bd51 we’ll share this kind 9ed7b2e9a6 of information freely. Unfortunately, this system doesn’t b38674965e support parties, so we’ll cb1a077f02 have to use contracts.

See? The nonsense 88643f5477 had already 82c7c23575 started. A lawyer? Contracts? For what? There was no guarantee c16349c6e9 we could even bring 6a79e8a502 items back to Earth, e1f927e040 so what use was 660e49d3b1 a piece of paper?b571c00e38caceb7

Of course, b191f1114e they weren’t 5c18f64220 expecting the 43bdb38835 contracts to 4053a06f4b hold any 6231758f1a real legal 75312a5ffb power. The real goal was 498550a574 likely to create a 31d7275225 sense of obligation among c92aa8adbc the signers, making them d3fd73bd57 feel like they were 3c466b5e82 truly part of a 426f075a63 party. Some would undoubtedly 5cb22c205c exploit the information e8de7fe6ad and leave, but d0852f56ac others, swayed by 99618c9204 words like “legal” 82475e5b24 and “lawyer,” might 0cd684d88e stick around.daf61cbb39cef612
