Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Author note:

As for the fish sauce mentioned in the previous chapter, as I mentioned, it has a ridiculous smell when you actually make it, so although you probably won't faint, you will cause a lot of trouble for your neighbors, so please be careful.

-------------------------------------------

Open the windows and ventilate. Lily and the others have collapsed due to the fish sauce effect, so let's check out the event before reviving.

Contents: 『This event is about survival on a desert island. War merit points earned by defeating and attacking monsters. Contribution points are earned by the player's attack on the event. There are two types of points, each of which can be exchanged for prizes after the event. The stronger the weapon, the rarer the item, the higher the points』

So it's an event where you have to work hard to get high points. War merit points are for combat jobs. Contribution points are for production jobs. Of course, the combat jobs can earn contribution points because they are involved in the event and the production jobs can also kill monsters and attack, so they can also earn war merit points.

I have Liqueur, so I guess I'll be focusing on attacking. I want to take advantage of the horse's speed and movement distance. Well, as usual, let's just enjoy the event as it happens. And here's a note of caution.

Points to make note of: 『No weapons, armor, tools, or other equipment items may be brought into the event. Dueling and PKing are not allowed. Helping NPCs are not allowed. Identifying other players' monsters is not allowed. Summoning and Taming is not allowed during this period. Bringing in gold is not allowed. Skills can be acquired. Despena during this period will result in an additional reduction in points earned. There will also be a negative impact on the earned points. If your earned points are negative at the end of the event, your earned points will be zero. Items earned in the event will be kept. Due to the large number of players, the event will be divided into several groups』

You can't bring in items to the event...well, it would be weird if you could bring in food in a survival game. But not being able to bring in ore is tough. It seems that Hephaestus can't participate in the event, so I guess I'll have to ask Crow-san to repair my weapons after a while.

Also, if dueling and PKing are not allowed, does that mean that it's forbidden to take points from players who have earned them?

The inability to identify other players' monsters is for summoners. So you've made it impossible to summon horses by list summoning even if others identify Liqueur during the event. Well, this may be natural, considering that we're trying to divide the game into different countries.

And the next one is also important. You can't summon...I mean, I always summon in the summoning room, but I guess you can also summon outside. I forgot about that.

You can now acquire skills as a matter of fact...or you can say that there are cases where you have to acquire them.

And then there's the minus of points earned in Despena. If you think about adapting to minus, there may be a situation where minus can occur...don't feel unpleasant.

But the two things that are a mystery to me are that you can't bring in money and groups. What do they mean?

As I finish reading, I get a message. It's from Ruin-san. She wants to talk about the event through communication. I want to exchange opinions with her, so I use communication immediately.

"Ah...this is Takuto, Takuto here. Please respond, Ruin-san. Over"

『Why are you on a soldier's radio...you're so cheerful in the morning』

"...You're not getting on it, are you, Ruin-san..."

『Please do that kind of play between men. Did you confirm the contents of the event?』

It's sad, but I'm sure Rook and Crow-san will be happy to oblige. That was the story of the event.

"I just checked"

『Yeah. What did you think of it, Takuto?』

"I was told by someone I know that it might be a raid event, but I don't think it'll end up being a normal survival event』

『That's what I thought as well』

So Ruin-san agrees with me.

"And I'm curious about the various restrictions"

『The prohibition of PK and duels is a big help for us. Some games compete for points, but in that case we, the production staff, are just ducks. Of course I think about countermeasures』

Uwa, there are games like that...it would be hard...

『Well, from the administration's point of view, they wanted to hold an event to collect pure points』

I see. I didn't understand the last two meanings.

"Do you understand the meaning of group and money?"

『Yes. Since there are a lot of people, we are talking about holding events on separate servers. Takuto-kun isn't aware of it, but the servers are usually separated, right?』

"The servers are divided?"

『Umm...I'm not sure how to explain it. You know that you can't have dozens or millions of players in the first town, right?』

Ah, that's impossible, if you ask me.

『That's why we have a number of identical game fields to divide the players』

Hee, I didn't think about that at all...wait?

"But wouldn't that mean that there would be cases where players would be separated from each other?"

『Of course, there will be cases like that. Normally you would specify a server, but this game looks at friends and logs and seems to be collecting players who have some connection. Even so, there were a lot of players who couldn't attend the last social event and protested to the administration』

That's what happens. But the problem is this event.

"What do you think will happen to this event?"

『I don't know. I'm not sure if it will be the same or disjointed...but I think it's an event that presupposes cooperation with players, so I think it's highly likely that close people will get together』

Indeed. Certainly, I don't think it's premised on cooperation between players.

"I wonder why money is not allowed?"

『Perhaps it's because money is a substitute for points. For example, if you cook a meal for a player, you'll get contribution points. If you cook a meal for a player, you get contribution points. On the contrary, even if you give the ingredients to the cooking player, contribution points will be generated, so I think that you do not need money』

"Ah. So that's how it works..."

If both parties can earn points, then there is no need for money.

『This is also a good way to prevent Despena. You can't have any negative effects on your cash reserves』

Ah...Indeed. At present, the minus money you have will hurt. Does that mean that point minus is a substitute for Despena with minus money?

『Well, I can talk to you tomorrow, so let's keep it up to this point』

"Hmm. Directly?"

『Yes. With the exception of Crow, we've decided to head to Freetia』

"I, Is that okay? Are you sure you don't want to stay in Wantwork, the country of industry?"

『I've been thinking about it, but the other production workers are in Wantwork, right? I was wondering if it would be a good idea for us to head to Freetia. I was thinking. There are going to be a lot of Summoners and Tamers in Freetia. I'm sure there will be a lot of normal people heading there as well. Takuto-kun has already given us some information on how to get there, so we'll be able to conquer it with more confidence than in an unknown land. With that in mind, I've decided that there are more than enough business opportunities in Freetia』

Oh~. It's as if a merchant is looking ahead to the future.

『And it's great that we can buy the materials you're getting, Takuto-kun. I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to update their equipment before the event. Even if the price is a little high, will you sell without reservation?』

"I'll do my best to collect them..."

『Huhu, you don't have to worry about it. In Takuto-kun´s case, you´re a natural at collecting things. See you tomorrow』

You're a natural at collecting things, aren't you? I? Speaking of which, I feel like I've accumulated quite a bit if I've raised the level...good, lets stop thinking deeply. But it's honestly reassuring to have Ruin-san and the others here. And finally, the other players have started their journeys, haven't they? Oh, I forgot about Crow-san. Well, he's probably in Vainreef, the land of mines...but I wished him luck.
