Episode 368 – Second Missing Link (4)
Falling things have wings. Usually, things that cannot fly have no reason to fall.
But the two people who are now falling, Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho, have no wings.
However, the two people's attitudes toward the fall were different.
-No lol I was going to increase the speed again there lol
-Vertical drop Munyaguut!
-Pupago stretched out his body to go slowly somehow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok dived vertically to increase speed, as if he were doing a gunner ground, but Park Joo-ho took a classic skydiving stance.
-Isn't this actually Godple trying to use Purpago as a parachute?
-What is a human parachute? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this the parachute appointment or something?
-I brought my best friend to work, so it was a parachute, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's so hard to work at a black company!
The audience was laughing at the contrasting images. The atmosphere changed with the sudden burst of air.
-What the f*ck!?
-What? It wasn't just a hole?
-I almost bumped into something just now lol
-There are obstacles too?
-How did you avoid it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Reaction speed ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-Can you see that in the dark?
It was late at night, and the darkness was deep. The only source of light was the crystal attached to the propulsion system.
Although the field of vision was extremely limited, Lee Gyeong-bok activated the propulsion system and changed direction in an instant just before colliding with the obstacle.
It wasn't just viewers who were nervous about the situation.
“Even that sweet taste is good because it has a bitter taste, bittersweet love…!”
Park Joo-ho, who was tied up with Lee Kyung-bok, stumbled as he evaded him. His singing grew louder as an obstacle passed right beside him.
-WA! Karaoke in the air!
-What the heck lol is this a coin karaoke?
-I couldn't attend Perpago's aerial concertㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What the heck lol Is that shaking right now dancing?
-(Robotcon)(Robotcon)(Robotcon)
-I love you! Funnier! Input/output! Puppago!
-(Fluorescent cone)(Fluorescent cone)(Fluorescent cone)
-Oh my gosh, did you come back?
The viewers didn't miss the opportunity. Aren't they the ones who are more genuinely interested in teasing than anyone else?
In an instant, the chat window was filled with glow-stick-wielding, enthusiastic emoticons and flashing robot emoticons.
It wasn't just the viewers who were surprised as the broadcast progressed.
'No, really, how do you think like this?'
Of course, it wasn't meant in a bad way. Lee Kyung-bok smiled, looking at the sparkling chat window.
I was just curious about the thought process that could make one think of this as a concert.
'You guys are cute.'
Isn't it a streamer's duty to live up to expectations? Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly and raised his voice.
“It wouldn’t be fun if it just fell off, right?!”
Lee Kyung-bok lightly manipulated the propulsion system. As sideways thrust was applied, the ship began to rotate.
“Reality isn’t sweet!”
Naturally, Park Joo-ho, who was also tied to the rope, began spinning around. Still, he didn't stop singing.
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Aerial performanceㅋㅋㅋ
-This much spiral force here?
-Did you match the lyrics in the meantime? LOL
-What is the ability to see the broadcast angle of the spread?
-5252, you don't know the big data algorithm? LOL!
-You even do concerts in the air, that's professional, right?
-When did you become a professional idol? LOL
-Is this the AI YouTuber?
-to
Even while spinning, he didn't neglect obstacle avoidance. It was a while before such a spectacular(?) descent could continue.
'We're almost there already.'
Lee Kyung-bok slowly prepared to land.
Although it was invisible to the eye, the distance to the floor could be estimated through information transmitted through the spirit.
“Okay, I’ll get ready to get off soon!”
He raised the propulsion system vertically and began to slow down. The mood in the chat room changed again.
-I found out it was a guerrilla concert?
-It ended too quickly?
-I miss you alreadyㅜㅜㅜ
-Huh? Oh oh oh oh!
-I think we're going to bump into each other?!

-Pop it up behind me! Pop it up!
Only Lee Kyung-bok was affected by the propulsion. Slowing down didn't slow Park Joo-ho down either. Consequently, the gap between them rapidly narrowed.
Although the viewers were terrified, anticipating a clash.
“Hold on a second!”
Lee Kyung-bok never made such a mistake.
He delicately maneuvered his thrusts, turned, and moved behind Park Joo-ho. Then, he grabbed him by the back of the neck with a violent slap.
Park Joo-ho gasped and gasped, but the speed steadily decreased.
-Oh my gosh lol what kind of luggage is that lol
-Black company special) Employees are not treated as human beings
-So it was historical fact?
-Ah lol this is a neck carriage (not)
-What is the back of the neck carry? lol
The two landed safely while the viewers laughed. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and lightly shook his hand.
“Oh, that was really fun. Isn’t that… okay?”
Park Joo-ho remained stuck to the ground, still in his skydiving position. At Lee Kyung-bok's question, he slowly stood up and adjusted his clothes.
“Well, it’s nothing special. It’s just too short, which is a shame.”
At that answer, laughter spread through the chat window again.
-???: Nothing happened…!
-I wish they would hold an air concert too.
-Next time, you're going to do an album concert instead of a single, right?
-Encore! Encore! Encore!
Lee Kyung-bok burst out laughing at that. But he had to continue the broadcast, so he clapped his hands to distract them.
"Oh, good. Let's do the concert again next time. It definitely feels like it was written as an execution."
He illuminated the surroundings with a crystal. The shadowy space was revealed, revealing the shattered skeletons beneath.
– Are these pirates who were executed?
-Wow;;; It's so scattered that it actually gives me goosebumps
-It probably didn't hurt because it hit an obstacle in the middle.
-Imari, I lived because I was a god.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere in the chat room was set.
“It certainly seems that Camilla wasn’t lying.”
"huh?"
“Look at the floor.”
At Park Joo-ho's subsequent words, Lee Kyung-bok shone his light downward. He swept away the accumulated dust with his foot, and a metal object came into view.
“Ah! I saw this at the ruins?”
“Looking at the size and structure, it seems like it was an elevator.”
From those words, the viewers could also infer the situation.
-Oh lol this is an elevator that collapsed and became an execution platform
-Wow, that's right lol. So that's why it was this deep?
-Who would think of coming down here? Lol
-???: Did you do it?
-Pirate shacks lol they're right under your feet but you didn't know?
-It's dark under the lamp, Imari, lol
Lee Kyung-bok quickly scanned his surroundings with his crystal and reached out.
“There’s a passageway over there. Let’s go there right away.”
There was a passage leading inside. The two immediately began exploring.
“The structure is a little different, isn’t it?”
"It seems like it's story-only? The first Missing Link also had a daily dungeon concept."
“Oh, that’s true. There’s no difficulty selection here.”
The hallway was straight and there were no other rooms. It was a short walk.
“Oh? This is completely different.”
“I guess this is where things really begin.”
There was a huge door in the center.
There was a slot in the middle of the door for a crystal, but that slot was also large.
“Oh, this won’t work. I guess I’ll have to meet Camilla again to make any progress.”
Lee Kyung-bok tried using a crystal inserted into the propulsion device, but it didn't even fill half of it.
“I guess I’ll come back again.”
"I think so. I'll start by looking for a meeting point."
Soon they moved towards the further passage.
* * *
Lee Kyung-bok reached the end of the passage.
“Hmm, the passageway is collapsed.”
Strictly speaking, it wasn't the end of the passage, but rather the passage itself that had collapsed. This left viewers perplexed.
-Huh? What happens if I do this?
-You can't even enter the ruins?
-It seems like it's blocked because you didn't enter through the official route?
-What the heck lol Do I really have to go back up to the execution grounds?
-No lol I have to re-do this lol
-Pupago's rock climbing concert, okay?
-Hey, are you going to do it? Hahaha
The road was not visible.
But Lee Gyeong-bok was calm.
“There may be a way.”
A question mark appeared in the chat window at his confidence.
"Didn't Camilla say in the cutscene that there's a separate, safe entrance? Since there's no other way, this must be the right one."
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to look closer.”
The two approached the collapsed passageway and looked around. Soon, Park Joo-ho gestured.
“Hey, there’s water in here. I think I can get in.”
“I guess I’ll have to dive and get past.”
There was a gap where water had accumulated, but fortunately it was wide enough for a person to enter.
'It's quite a distance.'
Lee Gyeong-bok estimated the distance using the path he had drawn in his mind through the divine power. It wasn't something he could simply swim across.
“This looks like a place that passes through the propulsion device.”
“Oh, I’ll definitely get out of here faster if I use that.”
"I'll go alone this time. I can enter the cutscene alone. I think I'll return through that door anyway."
Lee Kyung-bok gestured to Park Joo-ho to move aside.
“Just take a break.”
“Okay.”
-You're not doing an underwater concert?
-What the f*ck are you doing underwater lol
-It's time to spread and cool down, Imari.
-Wouldn't it be water-cooled if you go in?
-I have to take a break because I'm following the god-like king lol
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the chat, then took a slow breath. Then, as he dove, the propulsion system began to activate.
-What about swimming pool?
-No lol why does it come off so well with a motor attached!
-It's not that wide, but I haven't even hit it once lol
-There are no restrictions whether in the air or underwater?
It was a quick process to get out of the underwater passage. I exhaled gently and emerged from the water, and a light appeared beyond the passage.
“Oh, I guess this is the exit.”
He shook the water off his wet hair. Then, as he approached the exit, the screen changed.
-Ugh lol I spread it and teleported lol
-Get forcibly summoned!
-The cutscenes are so awesome lol
-Is this completely different from playing?
-I didn't know you could jump off the scaffold!
-???: There's only one propulsion device, so why is it running!?
– Seriously lol I came in through a completely different route lol
In the cutscene, the protagonist was riding a boat with Park Joo-ho. As they approached the coastal cave, Camilla and her subordinates, who had arrived earlier, appeared.
"You got out faster than I thought? If it had been any later, I would have just left."
“Because I’m ready to escape at any time.”
Based on the protagonist's answer, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were able to infer the situation.
“It seems like there was originally a process of escaping from the port.”
-I feel like there was some kind of urgent cutscene lol
-Really ㅋㅋ The pirates came chasing after him late and Jun-gong started the sailing ship first and then he grabbed the rope thrown by the captain and climbed up and stuff ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Just like this, lol. Just explain it to me. lol
-You just skipped King Chi?
-???: I will leave it as King's God
-Perfect shortcut, it's so fast!
Meanwhile, Camilla snorted.
"It's too early to be relieved, though. The Pirate Alliance would have sent a pursuit ship. Well, leaving the sailing ship behind and coming by boat was a good choice."
"If you fire a signal flare, they'll come back. By the way, I didn't know the ruins were this close."
“It’s actually a good thing.”
“Well, they’ll probably think we’re running far away.”
"But the aftermath is the problem. Do you know what Bartholomew's nickname is? Pirates may boast, but he's the real deal."
Camilla's face hardened and she pointed back and forth between the protagonist and herself.
"Either you or me, Bartholomew has been marked for the kill. At this rate, one of us has to die for this to end. So far, Bartholomew has always survived."
“Then things will be different from now on.”
Despite her warning, the protagonist remained calm.
“Huh, you’re full of yourself?”
“If I was afraid of pirates, I wouldn’t have joined the navy.”
“I’d like to say that you’re just boasting, sir… but, seeing as you’ve managed to sneak in here, I don’t think you’re just boasting.”
Camilla waved her hand as if she was okay with it, then reached out to her subordinate. A large crystal was placed on her hand.
“Take it.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a key.”
-Oh? This should fit that door?
-So it was Kanu who gave it to you?
-It was true that you can't enter without watching the cutscene lol
Camilla handed the crystal to the protagonist and slightly raised her chin.
“There aren’t many crystals this big, so be thankful.”
"Isn't the price of life enough? I didn't know you'd expect gratitude."
“…Anyway, they say that the nobles are unlucky.”
Camilla glanced at the protagonist and then gestured to her men. They immediately prepared to launch the boat.
“Anyway, I kept my promise, so I don’t owe you anything for this.”
“Where are we going now?”
"Since I've become a public enemy of the Alliance, I should be cautious for the time being. But why do you ask? Are you even worried about pirates, Your Majesty?"
The protagonist thought about it for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I heard something strange at the tavern.”
"her?"
“I heard that the Camilla Pirates only targeted fellow pirates. Is that true?”
“What does it matter now?”
"Because it's different from what I know. The Camilla Pirates' notoriety was mostly about their targeting merchant ships."
Camilla brushed his tangled hair away from her and shrugged.
"Both are true. They targeted pirates and also raided merchant ships."
“…What does that mean?”
The protagonist, as well as the viewers, were bewildered. How could a pirate attack only earn them a reputation for raiding merchants?
"Hey, how come you don't know, you're disguised as a pirate yourself? Aren't you being too dismissive of pirates?"
“Among the pirates, there are some who disguise themselves as traders?”
The protagonist's eyes widened. That fact alone was enough to explain it all.
“So, originally those disguised pirates were raiding merchant ships, but the Camilla Pirates gained that notoriety.”
-Oh lol, that's right lol
-No lol why didn't I think of this?
-If you want to make a surprise attack, it would be easier to disguise yourself as a merchant than to fly a pirate flag.
-So, Mr. Kanu robbed pirates pretending to be merchants?
-But then, isn't the Camilla Pirates not just infamous, but also falsely accused?
-Wrong?
Viewers, too, grasped the situation, but questions soon lingered: Why did he claim the other pirates' misdeeds as his own?
The protagonist quickly figured out the reason.
"So that's how you got recognition from the Union? With your notoriety, other pirates won't dare bother you."
Notoriety wasn't a bad thing for a pirate. Even if it was a false accusation, Camilla had no reason to explain herself.
“Captain! We’re ready!”
“Let’s not see each other again if possible.”
Camilla turned her back at the subordinate's voice. The protagonist soon caught up with her.
“Wait a minute, I have a favor to ask.”
"ask?"
Camilla's eyes, which had been sharp, widened.
"You have the Atlantis manufacturing device, don't you? I want to use it."
Discovering the second ruin wasn't the only goal. We also needed to secure a map of the third ruin.
Camilla laughed at the request.
“I can’t give you that, can I?”
“What do you want…”
“The manufacturing device is not on my ship.”
This time, the protagonist's eyes widened at her words. Was his reasoning wrong?
“What I wrote isn’t portable.”
“Portable?”
"Yes, there's a device in the ruins. It's quite large and can't be removed. If I had a manufacturing device, why would I have gone to the Crimson Coast in the first place?"
"Were there separate types of manufacturing devices? Indeed, was there?"
Like the protagonist, the viewers could understand what she was saying.
-It seems like the manufacturing devices are separate, for installed and portable use?
-Ah, from Kanu's perspective, it's hard to keep coming and going, so he looked for a portable one.
-Well, if you do it wrong, you might get caught by other pirates lol
-So, if I just go into the ruins, everything will be resolved?
Camilla boarded the boat, seemingly speechless. Before her men could row, she spoke to the protagonist.
“Oh, I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but it’s better not to get too deep into it.”
“What does that mean?”
"Many of my subordinates have heard strange sounds. Be careful."
“That’s surprising. You even worried about me.”
Camilla raised a corner of her mouth at those words.
"Of course I should be worried. If you're alive, Bartholomew's attention will be distracted, right?"
“Well, that’s a pirate-like consideration.”
The protagonist let out a hollow laugh, as if he found it absurd. With that, the screen went black, and the cutscene ended.
“Oh, you’re right back at the door.”
“It seems there was no need to dive and pass by in the first place.”
The location changed to a huge door in the middle of the passage, the entrance to the ruins.
-Ah hahaha it wasn't originally that long?
-I thought the road was uncomfortably narrow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: Why are you going there?
-Advertiser King Lee Dongjeolhaengㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Smurf who creates roads where there were none?!
-What? It's the usual God-play.
-This is the right room^^
As the viewers laughed at him, Lee Kyung-bok also smiled along.
“Okay, good. Let’s begin exploring the ruins in earnest!”
He inserted a giant crystal. With a dull ring, the door filled with light and opened to the left and right.
* * *
The internal structure of the ruins was different from the ruins I had first experienced.
“It’s the same as having a hallway and a room, but the doors are all open.”
“I wonder if what’s inside is furniture.”
Most of the room's interior was in ruins, but there were still some intact objects, like a bed and a desk.
“It looks like a residential area.”
“Oh, the apartment where the Atlanteans lived? Something like that.”
As I continued forward, observing the passage, I soon reached the end. Inside, a wider space unfolded.
-Oh? What is this place?
-A plaza or a lobby? Something like that.
-There are quite a few passageways, right?
-The structures all seem similar?
-Isn't this Atlantis Gosiwon?
-Oh my gosh, why is the goshiwon coming out?
-The soundproofing here isn't very good either. Are there refrigerator thieves?
-omg!
There were several passageways along the circular structure. As the two entered further, a cutscene played out.
“This is where the light comes in.”
The protagonist approached a pillar still emitting light among the many structures. He examined it, his eyes gleaming.
"This is it! This is the manufacturing device Camilla spoke of!"
The writing was illegible, but there were symbols determining the proportions of ingredients.
“But there’s no place to put the materials. Are they supplied automatically…?”
Unlike the portable manufacturing device, there was no input port. The protagonist quickly manipulated the device.
After a while, the third ruins map was printed.
“Okay, next is the wetsuit.”
He took out the diving suit recipe he'd received from Scheherazade and entered it. But this time, things were different.
-What is it? Is it an error?
-Oh my! Why are you doing this!
-It's not a blue screen, it's a red screen!
-Do I need to find the third ruin to get the diving suit?
-Hey, it's hot, it's hot!
The light emitted by the device turned red. I couldn't tell what it meant exactly, but I knew it meant something was wrong.
The protagonist was about to get up with a disappointed expression on his face.
“Is this a map?”
A hologram projected from the device unfolded a map. Soon, a yellow dot appeared on it, and the lower point zoomed in.
“Is this a material? Is this a material warehouse?”
A blue symbol representing the material appeared next to the enlarged point. The symbol then connected to another point.
The viewers immediately grasped the situation.
-Ah haha, this is telling me to fill in the ingredients.
-Somehow lol it's so easy to get!
-King Bro! I'm going to make you go deeper!
-All Kanu-nim's warnings were just bait, Imari.
That was the end of the cutscene.
"Oh, right. I thought it would be a bit boring to just settle everything here. I guess we should also check out the strange noise Camilla warned us about."
Lee Kyung-bok, who had regained control, smiled brightly.
"I'm excited to see what awaits us. Let's get going!"
The viewers also laughed along with the lively voice.
-If Kanu sees Godple, he'll probably be dumbfounded ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: Something's dangerous?! I told you not to go!? Don't expect anything!
-???: Dangerous? Does that mean fun?
-Difficulty expert Smer Su-beom lol
-The meaning of danger is fun, isn't that the perfect English dictionary?
-If you tell me not to do it, then don't do it!
Warnings and cautions.
It was a word that meant fun to Lee Kyung-bok, although it was a source of worry to some.
