Chapter 186
Chapter 186
1.
When multiple delicious choices are given, it always leaves people in a dilemma.
It would be great to have them all, wouldn't it?
Is it because of the malicious intent of adults who want to teach us the harsh reality of the world — that what we want cannot be obtained so easily?
In most cases,
If you choose one, you can’t have the rest.
The way the Hidden Root Task 50 was structured followed that logic.
[Task - 51]
[Type - Choose]
[Objective - Choose]
[Choice Window]
- Make one of your companions gigantic.
- Strengthen 100 of your subordinates.
- Make natural objects gigantic.
- Make defense facilities gigantic.
- Make water-based weapons gigantic.
Gigantification Potion
You can give the potion to a companion to make them a powerful ally.
You can give it to a named animal to make it a powerful named animal.
You can pour it on terrain or materials to create an impenetrable natural fortress, defense facilities, or water-based weapons.
The player can choose how to invest the gigantification potion.
‘It’s too much freedom to handle.’
If the game had no branching paths and just told you to do whatever, it would be different.
But in missions like this, where the effects and efficiency change drastically depending on where you use it, it made me think a lot.
- Gigantamaxed Dancing Princess Miniature Can't Be Helped
- Absolutely Gigantamax the Dancing Princess!!!
- Silent Swordsman, make the Dancing Princess Miniature gigantic. No compromise.
The cutscene showed the Animal Elder Gigantic Turtle thanking for protecting the animals and handing over a potion.
Upon receiving the potion, a question that had been on my mind finally unraveled.
‘So, that’s why the animals following the Dancing Princess suddenly grew. There was such an item.’
The magical potion that turns baby animals into Gigantamax Pokémon.
I couldn’t resist it.
[?1. Make one companion gigantic.]
[?The Turtle from the pond evolves into Gigantamax Turtle General.]
-?
-?
-Why isn’t it the Dancing Princess Miniature?
-Why are you using a potion on a turtle?!
-Crossing the line!
Ha Eung Eung sighed deeply.
Why didn’t they understand?
Her love for Turtle King.
Had they never played Pokémon?
Or had the times changed?
Ha Eung Eung took out her communication pen.
[Love Turtle King]
Her own timid rebellion.
For a moment, the silence was broken.
And like a dam breaking, chat flooded in.
- What era is Pokémon even from?!
- Were you raising it to make a Turtle King? lol
- Haha, if it’s Turtle King, I’ll give you credit.
- When you’re in your first year of streaming, it’s exactly the time you’d want to raise a Turtle King haha.
- I want to raise a Venusaur though.
- You’re not a streamer, you idiot.
- Yeah, your dad’s a soul-devouring madman.
With heavy steps, the Gigantic Turtle General and its baby turtles built a dam, extending the lake for waterworks.
As they added more structures, viewers who had suddenly gone off the rails started fighting with each other.
‘Without a manager, this is inconvenient.’
It used to be great when things would fall into place without much effort.
[Don’t fight.]
She clicked the names of the two viewers who had started a fight, manipulating a system she wasn’t familiar with to move the lines beyond ten.
[Level 1 Exam Miniature has been permanently banned.]
[BobmiFire has been permanently banned.]
- Don’t fight! (angrily)
- If you permanently ban them, there’s no need for fights. haha
- Don’t even leave the seeds of conflict.
- This is how a massacre swordsman should act.
- I used to be terrified of managers’ ban times, but after seeing this, they seem like angels.
It didn’t matter which creature was raised first, or whether Venusaur was grown last.
[In the end, I’ll raise them all.]
-?
- Eh?
- What are you raising now?
Ha Eung Eung’s gaze shifted to the next mission.
[Task - 52]
[Type - Choose]
[Objective - Choose]
The second gigantification potion.
New gigantification target selected.
The target was a flower-adorned creature wriggling in the corner (not an animal).
The Gigantic Turtle General and the Gigantic Parasitic Flower, the Flame Weapon.
The animals I gigantified, inspired by Pokémon, did not grow the way the Silent Swordsman intended, except for the original Gigantic Turtle General.
Grrruuuuhh
Biiiiiiaaaa
The roar of a giant beast echoed as the Gigantic Parasitic Flower scattered spores everywhere, growing massive flowers.
While it showed no signs of the spores settling on our side, it quickly drained the energy from wild animals, causing them to wither and die.
The Fire Salamander grew into the Flame Weapon, digging into the ground and erupting molten lava from below.
Ssssss
Kuuuuguuu
The atmosphere was filled with carnivorous spores and flowing lava.
If Lee So-hye jokingly called herself the Demon King, this battlefield really seemed to be building into a Demon King’s lair.
As I wondered where this could be used in a way that would be deemed appropriate, I suddenly had a thought.
‘Should I give this to someone else?’
If I get bigger, I’ll become much stronger.
An approach fitting a martial artist who prefers to grow stronger on their own rather than relying on others.
This simple-mindedness led to a reckless decision to use the gigantification potion on myself.
[?6. Strengthen yourself. (Hidden)]
Hidden trigger and Hidden Root lead to a Hidden Choice!
- Does this mean I can finally get a hidden weapon?
- There’s also a hidden class promotion, you know?
- If you look closely, the player’s appearance is also wrapped in darkness. The player is hidden too.
- Everything’s hidden theory, lol.
- With so many hidden things, can we even still call it hidden...?
Our Silent Swordsman is getting stronger.
In their own way, different from everyone else.
As the viewers thrilled at the heartening sight, something unexpected happened.
Crack
“?”
Adding gigantification to the Silent Swordsman.
Adding good things to good things, everyone naturally expected an amazing result.
But no one could have predicted it.
Koooouuaaaa!
The player’s body grew so large that it broke the cell and fell beneath the field.
[You have died.]
[?Would you like to restart Task 54?]
- What is this lol
- The Silent Swordsman grew too large for the world to handle.
- Go, you’re not a vessel we can contain!
- This is like the monster apocalypse lol
- Adding good things to good things doesn’t always make it better… note to self.
- Is this like British cuisine?
- This guy left broadcast to learn variety shows and came back lol.
There were a few minor complications, but the animals were steadily strengthened, and the strengthened animals began affecting terrain and helping with the city-building.
Thus, the final task 60 was reached.
[Special Task]
[Task - 60]
[Type - War]
[Objective - ?: Knight Miniature (Invasion Army Commander)]
The knight who should have been defending the inner gates of the capital came back leading a massive miniature army.
[(?°?°?)?]
And they were shocked.
Within just 10 turns, the entire field transformed into an evil realm, something they never expected.
The concept of Hidden Missions in the 50s is clear.
Strategically invest in the gigantification potions to balance between reinforcing your troops and city-building!
In that respect, the Silent Swordsman’s animal army had long lost its balance.
Grrr
Animals of gigantic size, comparable to the player.
The owner of the dam, the Gigantic Turtle General.
The owner of the parasitic spores, the Gigantic Parasitic Flower.
The inhabitant of the lava, the Flame Weapon.
Even behind them, new gigantic species are decimating the miniature invasion forces in real-time.
The charging predator, the Giant Ostrich.
The noise bomb, the Giant Cicada.
The flying disaster, the Giant Cockroach.
[(? ? ?)]
[( ; ? ; )]
[( ? ^ ? )]
Could it be that the investment in aggressive unbalance paid off?
Despite the overwhelming invasion, the forces scattered and were systematically wiped out.
The Knight Miniature, no matter how hard they searched, was nowhere to be seen.
[Our animals have grown so well.]
- Seriously lol
- This is OP
- The animals just melt away?
- 9 potions 9 boss mobs strategy is amazing.
- And the 3 new ones I made didn’t even get a chance to appear.
Just like that, without even a single whip being swung, Task 60 ended.
The overwhelming firepower battle was clipped by the viewers and exported through Lee So-hye’s stream.
“… What is this? Monster breeding simulator?”
They called me here to play Whip Simulator, and what is this guy doing?
More baffling is why this is still Whip Simulator.
Lee So-hye, confused, soon understood the reason in the following clips.
- Nooo!
The gigantic beasts lost their command, and to regain control, I would have to face them in 1v1 battles in a mini-boss event!
An event-style match using the whip not for attacking, but for controlling!
[Quiet down.]
Whip!
- Crouch…
Of course, the Silent Swordsman won 9 out of 9 matches.
There were minor issues along the way.
“Are you crazy? Why on earth did you make the cockroach gigantic!”
- Hahahaha
- This is the normal reaction
- Do you want to know the secret to the Giant Cockroach’s birth, human?
- I clipped that too.
- Want to watch?
“No, don’t bring it here. I’m not curious at all. No, I don’t want to know!”
<DoItIfYouWantToDoIt donated 10,000 won!>
Nope, you already clipped it, you have to watch.
(Suddenly, the clip showing the Giant Cockroach instead of a ladybug is shown.)
<GiantFirePleaseStop donated 10,000 won!>
(The video of the Silent Swordsman in despair after getting a Giant Cockroach instead of a ladybug.)
- Substitution match lol
- Today’s highlight.
- I’m already grinning imagining it being exported to VTube lol.
- The Silent Swordsman in despair is funny too.
- The Giant Cockroach blasting away miniatures with its wing force was badass.
The unwanted Giant Cockroach began making its existence known to the world.
