Blood pressure marathon of the jar games (1)

- Tiling!

[Deus Ex Machina is your

Welcome to visit!]

I logged into the game after a while.

Today I came to the castle of golems

The outskirts of the painless gorge known as the ridge.

This vast open field, which was always quiet, was crowded with a large number of people for some reason.

And there are some familiar faces among them.

"Here you go, dear."

I'm here?

Drake and Yunsol greeted me.

The circumstances we have gathered in this wasteland today will be the same as those of all the people gathered here.

I lifted my head and looked at the two large pillars rising above the wasteland.

A long gold is drawn between the two pillars to mark the starting line.

The banner fluttering in the wind on gold reads:

there was a tongue

  Blood Pressure Marathon of the Jar

This event is basically a marathon.

The unique thing is that unlike a marathon that completes a horizontal course, you have to climb a vertical strange rock course.

After the cataclysm, an abandoned minefield rose to a height of 1,000 meters above sea level.

notice.

Even climbers must not use their hands and feet.

So, how do you climb this lofty stone mountain?

You have to climb this mountain with just one long hammer while you are in the jar.

"It's a really great extreme game."

Drake lifted his head and was astonished to see the stone mountain he had to climb today.

The rocky mountain, which is so high that it seems like it is touching the sky, sometimes seems impossible to climb because of the stones and stalactites that protrude beyond the 90 degree incline.

Players must climb up this steep rock wall while in the jar, pushing the jar with both hands, whipping the hammer like an oars or hook.

will do

In this process, very gruesome movements are required, such as hooking a hammer to a stone beak and bouncing up with its reaction force, or pushing the ground with a hammer and moving forward while riding in a pot.

(Of course, in this case, the jar and hammer are indestructible objects)

"How in the world is there such a crazy game?"

Yunsol doesn't seem to believe it

it's a dumb look

I briefly explained the concept of this game conference to her.

"This game is a mini-game inspired by the Car X Rider and Jar Hammer game."

As everyone knows, 'Car X Rider' is a casual game in which the enemy team and the blue team race in cars.

So what is 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy'?

It is a game that became popular in Korea in 2017 and has a simple structure in which a man riding in a jar climbs a steep and difficult stone mountain with only one long hammer.

Playing only with the mouse, you can jump by pushing the ground with a hammer, or grab the hammer like a hook and pull to move upwards.

It is very difficult to control because the feeling of operation is terrible and it is also affected by the physics engine.

In particular, even if you are almost at the top, if you make a mistake in one click, you fall right down and have to start over from the beginning, so it is also called a 'cancer game'.

In addition, there are countless falling slopes on this high and steep stone mountain, so it is difficult to break through one section.

Ten or hundreds of attempts are required.

It automatically saves in almost real time, so if you drop it, you're done. Since you have to start all over again, it can be evaluated as just vicious without any generosity.

"But it's worth it because it's such a difficult competition."

I looked up at this gigantic course that was almost a homage to the map of the pot hammer game and murmured.

walked away

This competition boasted such an extreme level of difficulty that it was later regarded as a course for many seniors to test their proficiency, courage, and perseverance.

Simply completing this course is a kind of trophy or medal.

Just as marathon is such a popular event in Japan, a deceased person who fights countless times with himself and eventually overcomes his limits.

Their appearance brings tears to many people.

"You mean Dahee Yu wanted to participate in this contest?"

Dahee Yu was a person who truly knew how to enjoy the game.

She seems to have known early on that she would become a truly high-level gamer only when she climbed to the top after overcoming this extreme irritation, fatigue and impatience.

" After all, I wanted to participate in this competition too."

An important key to causing the second cataclysm is also at stake as the prize of this competition.

So, both inside and outside the game, I had to win here.

"Good luck, partner."

I'm hiding under the hem of my cloak

said to Judilope.

Originally, there was a provision not to bring pets to the pot contest, but as far as I know, it starts from the second round.

Since pets are so rare, there are no specific regulations regulating pets in the first competition.

[Puu-]

Judilope grabbed the hem of her cloak and looked up at me.

Then.

[Uh... um... hemp]

I looked at Yoon Sol next to me and uttered inaccurate but manageable words.

"Hey! Our Judilope said it!"

Yoon Sol is startled and hugs and strokes Judilope.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

Judilope, who seems to be in a good mood in Yunsol's arms, turns around and looks at me.

[Ah Ah Ah.]

Five? Could the word 'dad' come out?

I looked at Judi Lope with anticipation in my heart.

Soon, Judilope pointed at me and completed her speech.

[Ah Lat.]

I grabbed Judilope and tucked it under the cloak.

After finishing the marathon rock climbing race, which is so extreme that my blood pressure rises, the relationship between the two of us will be tense.

Gold will be stronger.

'Before the Second Cataclysm, I tried to increase the affinity with Judilope, but it worked.'

I thought as I received the jars and long hammers handed out by the organizers.

Meanwhile.

Me, Drake, and Sol Yun took one of the red and blue jars.

was randomly assigned.

The race is divided into an enemy team and a blue team, and in addition to those who entered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, the team score is calculated separately.

Drake and Yunsol received a blue jar.

I also went into the jar.

Tuk!

When the hammer is pushed back with force, the jar moves forward.

Then, when the hammer was hung on the stone beak in front of it and pulled, the jar moved forward.

Then, driving the momentum and pounding the floor with the hammer, the jar soars upwards.

'The controls are the same as before the return.'

I nod confidently

and looked straight ahead.

When I glanced at the starting line with a squint, I saw that many other people were participating in this match.

Judging by the fact that there were quite a number of men who went into the jar naked, it seems that the followers of the Doolleong Church followed me.

And there were some unexpected faces among them.

,,...uh?,,

I opened my eyes wide as I saw the woman occupying a high point in the glass in front of the starting line.

Ayaka Akisada. She also participated in this blood pressure marathon jar competition.

'I mean, that person is also a bit of a geek.

I smiled and looked away.

Before long, another familiar face appears on the podium in front of the starting line.

Demgirl Hong Young-hwa, she seemed to be in charge of presenting and broadcasting today's game, holding a microphone and standing in front of the podium.

And next to him is another familiar face.

Marquis Scrooge. In the past, the best in the world that saved me from being tricked by Mamon.

The rejecting NPC was standing next to Hong Hwa-hwa and smiling kindly.

Hong Young-hwa said:

you]! Today I would like to introduce you to Marquis Scrooge, the biggest sponsor of the Blood Pressure Marathon!"

Then, thunderous applause erupted from everywhere.

Marquis Scrooge for the money he paid for this gigantic event

His wealth is still great.

I also applauded his talent.

Marquis Scrooge smiled warmly and spoke in front of a large number of participants.

[I could have hosted a contest that you would like. A contest that is moderately easy to overcome, moderately fulfilling, and moderately successful.]

But soon, Marquis Scrooge's eyes shone with determination.

[But I didn't do that.]

Thousands of people look up at Marquis Scrooge with tense faces.

Marquis Scrooge opened his mouth again.

[To be honest, this contest is not a good and fruitful contest.

All. Bitter, capricious, frustrating, merciless, cold and inhuman.]

Everyone shut their mouths and listen to Marquis Scrooge's speech.

But not many people know that his speeches are derived from the maxim of Bennett Foddy, who made the 'Jar Game' in the past.

Marquis Scrooge continued.

[This contest is held for very special people. It's you. This contest will give you trials and hurt, a feeling of betrayal, and regret and despair. Why did I plan this event?]

After a moment's pause, Marquis Scrooge glanced over the faces of the group.

And then he smiled.

[Getting Over It. Then you will know.]

People were a little surprised because he had a humorous expression and tone that was quite different from the character of Marquis Scrooge, who was usually known for being arrogant and overbearing.

Of course, I wasn't too surprised to know that Mamon had changed since he disappeared.

Overcome this, right?

I removed my gaze from Marquis Scrooge and turned my head slightly to look to the side.

Behind the starting line, inside the space where the temporary stage was installed, stood a huge cannon holding its snout toward the sky.

"Wow! Marquis Scrooge! What is this giant cannon? It's huge!"

[Heh heh heh, that's a cannonball. woo

A cannon built to commemorate the achievements of a winner when he emerges. We are planning a spectacular fireworks display that will remain in the memory of everyone for a lifetime. It's a game I learned from a young friend some time ago.]

It seems that Marquis Scrooge still remembers the fireworks I held in his mansion.

I must have been quite impressed with it at the time.

Hong Young-hwa is the huge size of a cannon

He looked up and opened his mouth.

"Wow, wow, seeing it up close is really great!"

[Heh heh heh, it's probably the biggest cannon in the world.]

"But if a cannon this big just made a mistake or something, it would be a big deal, wouldn't it? Do you have any size?"

[Oh, don't worry about that. This cannon is a special cannon, so it is large and strong.

You cannot put a single shell or the like. Only things like very fine powder can be loaded. Something like fireworks. It's good to say that he has little ability to kill.]

Hearing these words, Hong Hwa-gyeong taps the cannon's large gun barrel as if reassured.

Yeah! From now on, before the competition begins, I will briefly explain the course to all participants!"

Hong Hwa-hwa opened a screen window and displayed a hologram image for everyone to see.

Thousands of people gathered in the wasteland look at the hologram that Heunghwag shows.

The map of 'Blood Pressure Marathon of the Jar' began to be analyzed.

When Hong Hwa-hwa touches the halo, the lower part of the huge stone mountain is greatly enlarged.

A space filled with relatively gentle rock walls, dead trees, and stalactites sticking out.

"Now, the first part is the 'Tutorial section'! This is the section you see the most when you go up and down the rock wall."

Hong Young-hwa quickly flipped the screen like a slide.

Then, a little higher than that

The liver is enlarged.

On the uphill road between the narrow and steep canyons, a narrow passage that cuts almost vertically, you can see lanterns burning eeriely here and there.

"Next up is the 'Devil's Chimney! You have to climb a narrow, vertically sloping place past the rock wall, but the road is narrow, so it will be difficult to maneuver with a hammer and a pot!'

Numerous participants who have heard Hong Hwa-hwa's words are already in a long line from here.

But the next course seemed even more difficult.

Fortresses and fortresses under construction, as well as buildings and houses under construction, form a long slide.

The vines and bushes that had grown thickly and withered away looked desolate.

"Then 'The Land of Furniture

(Furniture Land)'! It's a space full of discarded furniture! The narrow gap between them is really hard work, so it's nicknamed the devil's intestines, right?

Next was the section where the setting sun was dyed orange.

The church building towering over the granite cliffs looked magnificent.

In particular, the magnificence is further doubled by the bell tower that rises straight upwards.

The next section is called 'Anvil Jump'! A steep slope and almost blocked passageway! And even swarms of wild bats lurking all over the place! Absolutely ignored It's a neglected course. How many trials will I have to overcome to get to the top of the anvil at the far end?"

It's terrifying just looking at it here.

Some people are already packing

As far as turning back from the starting line.

However, Hong's explanation is not yet over.

"Next is the 'Bucket Jump' section! Do you see a bucket hanging at the exit of the section where a large snake lives? The distance between the obstacles is so great that I don't even know how to break through them. To run a distance that even a healthy body cannot run, confined in a jar, this

It's really hard!"

The next map revealed was a mountain range covered with snow and ice.

44 Yes! It's finally here! 'Ice Mountain (Ice Mountain), section! I don't know where to hang the hammer because of the snow and I can barely see! It's even cold there! If you accidentally slip on the ice, you'll be dropped right into the tutorial section! but worry

do not! Your jars are indestructible, so they will protect you from any fall damage!"

And soon the last, normal is seen.

"Now, finally! This is the 'Tower' section! If it's on top of the ice mountain and you've come all the way here, then, in reality, the worship service is over!

A tower towering over the top of an icy mountain through a raging blizzard.

Gradually zooming out, Hong Hwa-hwa's map introduction finally came to an end.

When the map description was over, there was a new commotion at the starting line.

"Ugh, that's crazy difficulty! If I had known it was such a difficult competition, I wouldn't have come out!"

"I have to give up right now. Then there will be no suffering."

"Who would go crazy for a contest like this? It will probably be abolished from the next episode."

Some immediately throw their hammers away and go back the way they came out of the jar.

However, surprisingly, a significant number of people were still burning their will to take on the challenge.

I was also one of them.

'It's hard to ignore this contest.'

It may not seem popular because of the extreme difficulty, but in fact, this competition will receive explosive love after the first round, and become a longevity event that will continue up to hundreds of times after that.

Even in the beginning, there were only 3 or 4 professional teams from the 1st to the 4th round, but after the 5th round, it exploded, giving rise to as many as 63 professional teams.

"The difficult and esoteric difficulty unique to this competition is enough to provoke the dead. Whoops...

I suddenly miss the seniors I used to hang out with before returning home.

The older brothers and sisters who took me on the bus while loving me like a child after 70,000 hours of game play.

'Where is everyone doing what?'

Later, after the contest, they

I thought it might be a good idea to look for it.

right then

then! game! Let's start yo oh oh oh!"

The cry of Hong Hwa-hwa, announcing the start of the race, resounded.
