Bluish arcs of electricity danced in the air and the last android rushing towards them collapsed on the ground.
Pu-shu-shuk.
Yi Ji-Hye yanked her sword out from the bisected cables and wiped her forehead.
[Level up!]
Gil-Yeong, watching her from the sidelines, picked his nose and spoke to her. “Noona, you've gotten really good at this, haven't you?”
She oh-so-badly wanted to smack the boy in the head after listening to his sky-high ego-filled words, but had to stop.
[You can't attack the target.]
Regardless of what else, these two kids were invincible in this worldview. Nothing good would come from rubbing them the wrong way.
She alternated her gaze between Yi Gil-Yeong and Shin Yu-Seung before throwing them a question. “What are your levels now?”
“84.”
“I'm 87, unni.”
“What?! But, you were 83 a few days ago!!”
“I lied, you dummy.”
Yi Ji-Hye watched the two kids bicker and replied with a lengthy sigh. “I'm still 79, though….”
Still, she was able to level up quickly thanks to these two kids. Just as the slang implied, her levelling-up was lightning fast, as if she was riding on a bus, and that placed them on the list of the most wanted individuals of Next City.
[Android Yi Ji-Hye – 1888G]
More correctly, it was her alone. From the get-go, the kids couldn't be attacked anyway, so they didn't even show up on the wanted list.
“I guess it's about time we escape from this worldview.”
“I think it'll be over if we bring that down, unni.”
There was a huge tower occupying the centre of Next City where Shin Yu-Seung was pointing at. There was a battleship parked on top of that tower, and every time she looked at it, Yi Ji-Hye would receive a message from her sponsor.
[Constellation, 'Maritime War God', strongly recommends that you acquire that Star Relic.]
“…..Now that is surprising. Especially from our miserly general, no less.”
[Constellation, 'Maritime War God', dry coughs.]
It wasn't as if she couldn't understand her sponsor's heart, though. Anyone who clapped their eyes on that battleship's appearance would indeed understand where he was coming from.
“I just can't figure out why that thing's parked over there….”
If they manage to commandeer that ship, then the skies of all the worlds would become the 'Maritime War God's' ocean.
Yi Ji-Hye tightly grasped the hilt of her sword and spoke. “Yeah, it might be fun to shock the socks off ahjussi and my master. Hey, guys? Why don't we clear this place now?”
“Sure! It was getting boring using the bug all the time, too!”
“Yes, let's.”
The three arrived at a mutual agreement and began walking towards the tower, only for a completely unexpected message to enter their ears.
[Emergency patch has been updated.]
[From tonight's midnight onwards, the applicable scenario will institute 'Shutdown' system.]
[From 00:00 to 06:00, children under the age of 18 cannot utilise the applicable scenario.]
Yi Gil-Yeong and Shin Yu-Seung merrily running forward side by side suddenly began faltering precariously.
The boy muttered in a flustered vice. “N-noona, I'm sleepy….”
“Unni, run….!”
The two kids plopped down after saying that and fell into slumber. Yi Ji-Hye placed her hand near their noses and confirmed that they weren't dead.
[Applicable player is in 'Shutdown' state.]
For Yi Ji-Hye, this was one flabbergast-inducing situation.
“What the hell? I thought this worldview was 18+ from the get-go? Why is this shutdown thing even introduced??”
Their answers were different from each other's.
