Pick Me Up!

Chapter 12: If You Want to Survive, Ride the Wave Well (3) (1)

The opportunity presented itself.

From what I saw, it was truly abundant.

Even though the intricate details of our battles were bypassed when transmitted to the Master, it didnt mean that the Master was completely unaware of the situation. He could still gather enough information to know who was at the forefront of the fight, who was most active, and even who was slacking off at the back.

[Bookmarking Han ().]

[Bookmarking Jenna ().]

It seemed like there was no room for the same mistake again.

Iselle appeared and shouted.

[Jenna, Yellens. Head to the synthesis facility. Now!]

Synthesis facility? Where is that?

[Cant you see the door on the right? Just go in there.]

Yellens looked at me with an anxious expression.

What now?

Do you want me to help you?

If you had even pretended to fight, I would have tried to help a little. Just like Shay did with me, I was willing to make some concessions, even for a single goblin.

Even though I completely ignored him, I still spoke to Jenna.

Go ahead. Nothing will happen to you.

Ill be back.

Jenna left, walking with determined steps. On the other hand, Yellens couldnt bring himself to move.

Why arent you going?

W-What will happen if I go?

Youll face judgment for what youve done.

I was unreasonably dragged here in the first place!

Thats your opinion.

[Well, look at that! Were on the same page for once!]

A mischievous smile played on Iselles lips.

[Im tired of changing diapers for you kids. Get in there already.]

Im not going.

[Is that so?]

Iselle pushed Ellison into the synthesis facility.

The door closed.

[Do you really want to synthesize?]

[Yes (Select) / No]

[Synthesis complete!]

[Yellens () turned into light and disappeared.]

[Jenna () leveled up! Acquired Eye of the Eagle skill!]

A while later.

The door of the synthesis facility opened, and Jenna walked out with a bewildered expression.

What happened? That man turned into light and disappeared.

Those who are useless in this place become sacrifices for those who are useful. Next is my turn. Which one of you will it be?

I looked at the two of them and spoke.

The door of the synthesis facility hadnt closed yet.

[Next, Han, Toby!]

Are you going to send me back home?

Iselle seemed too bothered to answer and tossed Tobys wrist. I followed and entered the synthesis facility. Beneath the synthesis facility, surrounded by walls of metal, a purple magic circle glowed ominously.

Is it finally over? Im going back home. Im leaving!

He murmured with an ecstatic face.

Think that way if you want.

I didnt have the energy to retort. Who would want such a death, I would rather die fighting.

Toby gradually disintegrated, disappearing.

[Synthesis complete!]

[Toby () turns into light and disappears.]

[Han () leveled up! Acquired Composure skill!]

When we came out to the square, the synthesis facility had closed and didnt open again. The remaining one, Aaron, stared at me blankly.

I smirked and patted Aaron on the shoulder.

You got lucky.

Why, why didnt they come back? Did they die?

They might have gone back home. Why, do you want to try it too?

Aaron raised his head as if he had gone mad. Then he spoke with a distorted face.

You, you bastard, did you know about this and didnt tell us?

If I had told you, would you have believed me?

Aarons body trembled, but he didnt rush towards me. He just let out a deep groan and went back to the dormitory.

I spoke to Iselle.

Is todays schedule over?

No, wait! Master hasnt logged out yet.

Iselle twirled in the air and disappeared.

After a while, a system message appeared.

Constructing facilities. Please touch the desired facility type.

You have chosen the subsidiary building Forge for Armory Lv.1. Would you like to construct it? Construction requires 500 gems.

[Yes (Select) / No]

A forge, huh?

Well, since weve accumulated quite a lot of materials, it was time to synthesize equipment.

Master, if youre busy in reality, how about allowing the hero to take autonomous actions? You might obtain special rewards!

[Tips/The heros Autonomous Actions is one of the core features of Pick Me Up, allowing the hero to act according to their own will even when the master is not logged in. The results of their actions vary depending on the heros disposition.]

[Yes (Select) / No]

Master, would you like to end the session?

[Yes (Select) / No]

Then goodbye!

The rainbow-colored sky turned gray. It was the end of the Pick Me Up session.

Is it over? Jenna asked.

For now.

What about those people?

They probably died.

People who are deemed unnecessary by the Master disappear in that room.

Upon hearing me saying that Jenna looked a bit troubled.

Why are you so gloomy? When did you become so whiny?

When the time comes when Im no longer needed, will I disappear too?

Her expression was nonchalant, but her hand was trembling.

As the floors go up, the monsters we have to fight will go stronger, and the humans who are summoned will also become stronger. If we die, we either dieat the hands of enemies or become sacrifices. Its one or the other.

I see. It seems that you know everything about this, dont you, Oppa?

I asked Jenna.

Do you want to live?

Yes.

Then follow your Fathers words.

My fathers words, Jenna murmured as she looked at me.

If you want to live

Ride the wave well.

I passed by Jenna and returned to the dormitory.

I took out orange juice from the refrigerator. I stretched my legs on the black sofa and lay down, gulping it down. It was amazingly refreshing.

Iselle, come out if youre here.

[Who are you to tell me to come out!]

Im getting tired of that repertoire. Change it up a bit.

[Rraah!]

Iselle charged at me.

I stayed still. Iselle couldnt bring herself to touch my body and only swung her fists in front of me.

Youve had a hard time too.

[Huh! Noisy!]

By the way, the tips that were sent to Anytng, was it you who sent them?

[Whats it to you? What does it have to do with you?]

It does.
