Dimensional Wanderer – Login in a world on the verge of an apocalypse

8 – World 11. Regressor’s Melancholy (2)

Once the deal was concluded, the subsequent work proceeded swiftly.

After moving the Android Wenna’s data chip to an advanced artificial intelligence, replacing the body and installing a combat program.

It took less than 2 hours to get here.

Originally, the overall appearance had to be adjusted, but Karina, who was in a hurry, ended up choosing the right body with an eye test.

As a result, the working time was greatly reduced.

“Wenna, how are you feeling?”

“It is much better than before.”

The data accumulated so far and the impact of advanced artificial intelligence.

When the two were combined, it was confirmed that Android Wena’s facial expression and tone of voice changed smoothly.

To be precise, it was also changed to match Karina’s behavior and tone to Wena.

“By the way, Lady Karina. Why are you doing this to me?”

“Nothing. please protect me.”

“Um~ don’t worry.”

It was Wena who answered slightly playfully.

But in my head, I put Karina’s escort first.

Karina knew that too, so she didn’t say anything and slowly moved to the place where the food was sold.

Although the facilities in Molverton City were able to produce food materials, it was difficult to expect the same amount of production as before.

In addition, the food itself was originally a luxury item.

Therefore, it was said that the price of food materials was crazy, but it did not matter to Karina, who had the winnings in her hands.

‘What I need…’

In any case, Karina, who had the ingredients she needed at the grocery store, even bought a weapon for self-defense.

Then we headed to our next destination, District 4.

“Sigh.”

Suddenly, Karina sighed at the fact that she had to move like this.

This is the third and final regression.

I thought about it every time I returned, but it was regret that I logged on too late.

‘If only the return point wasn’t the first connection.’

If that was the case, I would have been running as a front runner by winning a prize with credit power like now.

Perhaps things would have changed a lot?

It was just hopeful, though.

‘Yeah, it’s in the past anyway. Now, as a latecomer, I have to think about getting ahead somehow.’

If this world was isolated by the fog of death and was on the brink of extinction.

The other world is on the brink of destruction with the presence of the Dark King released from the seal.

Less than 30% of the population survived.

Naturally, the existence of the player had to stand out.

And in order to lead that player and defeat the King, the strength of the body was important.

The problem was that it was never easy for Karina, a latecomer, to rise to such a position.

But I had to do it.

‘To do that, I need help from the Thunder Hammer, Mr. Hayden.’

Karina took a floating taxi that cost 50 credits per ride and immediately arrived at District 4.

[Beep – Thank you for using it.]

While listening to the set thank you, Karina, who got off the floating taxi, and Wena, with both hands full of luggage, looked around District 4 first.

‘As expected District 4 is gloomy.’

It wasn’t about the weather.

Because the weather was always dark.

To be precise, the atmosphere was gloomy.

Most of District 4 was empty, where not even human hair could shine through, and 20th Street, which was the only one, was filled with people dying every day.

Of course I know why.

Knowing the problem did not solve it.

‘Why is Hayden living in a place like this?’

With Hayden’s ability, he was able to stay in at least District 2.

Even so, the reason why he insisted on District 4 was unknown even to Karina, who was with him in the previous episode.

‘It seems to be related to someone from District 1.’

While I was thinking, I heard Wena’s voice.

“Wow, there was a place like this. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back?”

“It’s fine. Because no one will rush at you blindly.”

The reason Wena openly said to go back was that District 4 was judged to be dangerous.

Carina, who figured it out without difficulty, said it was okay and moved to the building where Hayden lived.

On the way, I felt the eyes of many people scattered all over the street, but it was a loss to give them eyes.

On the contrary, Wena looked around the extension with a strange face.

In fact, he wasn’t looking around District 4 because it was strange, but he was checking to see if there was any danger to Karina.

Karina also knew, but pretended not to know because she had ordered it.

“…”

Also, upon arriving at the building where Hayden lives, Karina recalled the memories of the previous episode.

Hayden, who decided to help himself in the previous episode, unfortunately, didn’t end well.

‘this time······.’

Promising not to lose him, Karina rang the doorbell.

beep-

[Who are you?]

A hoarse yet raspy voice.

It was a voice that reminded Karina of past memories.

Parbat!—

Then to the green light that seemed to scan one’s own body.

The green light was to check the other person’s biometric ID.

Personal information stored in the biometric ID could not be read, but at least the face and name could be identified.

Of course, since this had happened in the previous episode, Karina didn’t express herself and stood quietly and brought up the main topic.

“I’m here to make a deal.”

[Well. come in.]

With the current scan, he should have figured out that he is a resident of District 3.

In addition, there was even Android Wena, but Hayden allowed entry without much thought.

rumbling-

Then, when the shutter went up and the door appeared, Karina went inside with Wena.

Inside, as expected, Hayden…

‘yes?’

Hayden was there, but next to him was a large connector that could hold two people.

Was there an original connector?

Hayden said to Karina, who briefly remembered her memory.

“Seeing that you came all the way here and said you would make a deal, you must have heard my rumors.”

“Yes. I heard rumors.”

“Is the luggage the android is carrying in the back food materials?”

“that’s right.”

“It’s nice that I don’t have to explain at length.”

Hayden gestured lightly to the kitchen.

Karina also knew that there was a kitchen in that direction, so she moved right away.

Similarly, Wena, who was following behind, asked as if wondering.

“What does he want?”

“Delicious dishes.”

“Should I?”

Wena was able to do basic cooking because there was already a program related to household chores.

What’s more, I bought a lot of food materials now.

There was a high chance that a decent dish would come out.

However, since there was no way to cook such a dish, Karina refused.

“No, I have to do this.”

“Are you Karina?”

“I’m thinking of making a slightly difficult request. That’s why you can’t have simple dishes.”

Karina said that, took Wena’s luggage, took out various ingredients, and started cooking.

First, the meat and vegetables were chopped and fried in a frying pan, adding seasoning.

“Wenna. Come over and knead some flour.”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, the dish wasn’t overly complicated, so it didn’t take long.

Stir-fried meat, vegetables, and seasoning are wrapped in flour kneaded to make a square shape, then sprinkled with egg water liquid and coated with bread crumbs.

Finally, just fry in oil and you’re done.

It was a dish that would remind you of croquettes if you saw it in modern times.

Chii Ii-

Carina carefully placed the fried bread on the plate and brought it to Hayden.

Coming out of the kitchen, Hayden was tinkering with the inside of the interface.

‘But that connector…’

Looking back now, it was clear.

In the previous episode, Hayden didn’t keep the connector nearby.

Karina felt suspicious about that part, but put the dish down.

Hayden glanced sideways at the dish Karina had put down, then looked at it properly again with a surprised face.

“Did you make this?”

“Yes. It’s hot, so eat with care.”

“…”

Hayden, who didn’t respond to the word to eat, immediately took a bite of the fried bread Karina made.

Since it was a small piece of bread, it disappeared quickly after a few bites.

Hayden, who ate the fried bread again, muttered in a reminiscent voice.

“······It reminds me of old memories.”

At that answer, Karina smiled inwardly.

I didn’t understand that there was a connector out of nowhere, but the most important answer was the same as in the previous round.

By the way, the current dish was also the bread that Hayden’s mother bought for 10 credits on his birthday when he was little.

Hayden, who grew up eating only multi sticks every day at the time, was so surprised that there was such a taste in the world as soon as he ate the bread, and even shed tears.

In addition, it was also an opportunity for Hayden to become obsessed with delicious food.

Carina said, recalling the information about Hayden.

“Can I trade now?”

“I can’t say no to eating this. tell me.”

“Yes. I’ll give you 10,000 credits every month. I want you to help me.”

Even in a world like this, credits were useful as long as the city was somehow managed.

10,000 credits was not a low amount either.

However, Hayden asked with a worried expression.

“Are you asking for help from another dimension?”

“that’s right.”

Karina answered calmly, but expected Hayden’s answer later.

‘Give me a moment to think.’

After answering like this, I will eventually allow it.

He may look blunt on the outside, but I knew that he had a kinder personality than anyone else.

“Sorry, but that would be difficult.”

So permission… Huh?

For a moment, Karina had an illusion as if she had heard something empty.

“I’d rather ask for something else. Then I will think positively.”

“to?”

But it didn’t seem like an illusion.

“Now, wait a minute. What did you just say?”

“That’s hard, so I asked for another favor.”

“…”

surprisingly.

A completely different answer came out than expected.
