Chapter 229: Crack Museum (2)

“Who?”

“Park Deokgu.”

“…”

“…”

“Oh! It turned out that Yuno Kasugano of the Yozora Guild also revealed her intention to participate in this expedition…”

“She can’t.”

Lee Ji-hye looked at me as if surprised by my firm remark.

Of course, if she, who was counted as one of the Eight Seats, participated in the expedition, it would be something to cheer for. Unfortunately, this was not an ordinary dungeon.

‘Her luck stat is zero.’

Considering Yuno Kasugano’s luck stat, she would only prove to be a nuisance. Honestly, I wanted to tell her not to bother at all.

“This is unexpected. I thought you would want to take her…”

“She has a low luck stat.”

“Oh…”

“There’s not even a single ray of hope for her.”

“I knew you were a little close, but enough to share stats?”

“I don’t know it in detail, but…”

“Well. What can I do?”

She seemed to be glancing at me strangely, but seeing that she didn’t say anything else, I understood that she didn’t care. She didn’t really care who I went out with in the first place.

One thing she cared about was whether the people I went out with were useful.

I didn’t know why she thought that I would come back to her in the end, but one thing I could admit was that her presence made this work very easy.

‘I should have brought her to Blue.’

She was not only adapting well in the Black Swans, but she was also doing really great, so I thought it was fortunate to be in there, but there were obviously regrets.

‘I’m comfortable.’

We were so good working together that I had to think that. Lee Jihye began to speak as she checked on the expedition’s profile again.

“This is hard. The luck stat is also important, but it’s difficult to balance it, and it’s the first time I’ve been putting my energy into the formation itself. Of course, the formation of other expeditions was obviously tricky, but it was never that hard.”

“…”

“Besides… Looking at it like this, there aren’t many people with really high luck stats. Yours is only in your 70s… I thought it would be higher…”

“What is the average luck stat for those isolated in the museum now?”

“I don’t know. About 30? There could be an error of about minus 15 or plus.”

“It’s enough for them to fail.”

Of course, the most necessary part for attacking the Crack Museum was the luck stats.

I didn’t have to look for those with high stats with my Mind’s Eye.

Lee Jihye proposed to reveal some limit to luck stats for the attack on this dungeon, and of course, the Black Swan and Blue members agreed on this.

Contrary to what I thought that it would be a smooth formation, what made it hard was that no one had a higher luck stat.

Ideally, it would be to organize the expedition with only those with luck stats over 80, but those with legendary-grade luck were harder to find than those with talent in other general stats.

Among the players’ stat, there was no choice but to admit that it was the most veiled stat.

‘Of course, it was.’

How to raise it hadn’t been identified yet, and even why there was a luck stat in the first place was unknown. There were cases in which people with high luck stats died, and in some cases, people with low luck stats like Yuno Kasugano could still walk the path of success.

As your strength stat rises, you get stronger.

As the agility stat rises, you get faster.

The simple logic that could be easily applied to other stats did not fit well for luck stats.

Of course, getting luckier…

‘Seems to affect the production workers…’

Anyway, this expedition had no choice but to include those with high luck stats in the spirit of catching at straws. Of course, going to the expedition with this formation was suicide.

Being realistic, the number we were targeting to have is an average luck stat of 60 or more.

A member with this level of luck stats has the power to deal with at least a legendary-grade named monster. This was the core of this program and the reason why Lee Jihye was struggling.

“What did the Blue decide?”

“We are thinking about it together. First, we four are confirmed, such as me, Hyunsung, Hayan, and Hee-young.”

“Aren’t you taking Deokgu? Hasn’t he grown as a great power of Blue?”

“I have a lot of worries about that now. All other parts of him are good, but his luck stat is currently forty. It’ll be a problem just having him around.”

“Just put him in. He’s the one who can protect you when things go wrong. Since your stats and as well as Hayan’s and Hyunsung’s, are high, it probably doesn’t matter. The problem is our Black Swan members. What will Dialugia do?”

“I think she will probably participate… As it is a dungeon, it will be difficult for her to commit. I don’t want to welcome her because she is not good with weapons. Of course, she should be useful as her stats are high…”

“And what about her precious son?”

“If she comes with us, the guild members who’ll stay in Blue would take good care of Tol To-ri. I’m worried about leaving Tol To-ri alone, but… if she thinks she has to go, what can I do?”

“In human form, her luck stat was about 80.”

“Your Guild Master…”

“Yes. She has about 80. If that’s the case, the front line isn’t bad. Even if any named monster pops out, they’ll be able to respond flexibly, especially Deokgu…”

“He is definitely helpful. In the first place, pure tanks with specs capable of receiving attacks from legendary-grade named monsters are rare.”

“The priest line is a bit weak, but it seems we can’t do anything about it, and this makes it difficult to organize the backline. We don’t know when a monster with high physical resistance or with high magic resistance will appear…”

“We’ll have to talk a little more about the formation. I think the guild masters are things… They’re the expert in catching monsters, and we’re just giving an opinion as a strategy team. All we have to do is submit a report, select a list of names, and do our job. When’s the next meeting?”

“In about two hours.”

“Let’s look at the distribution team.”

“What about the formation? There are still some members left from my guild…”

“I’ll finish it.”

Although she looked at me suspiciously, Lee Ji-hye nodded immediately. I understood why she seemed suspicious, though.

She didn’t know that I knew about the Black Swans very well. While walking around in the Black Swan, I had already confirmed the attributes and rough specifications with my Mind’s Eye.

Of course, I remembered those who went above the executive level, so it felt a little more comfortable to do it alone. This meant that making a formation with the attributes, stats, classes, and dispositions considered is something that other people couldn’t do.

‘If everyone reveals their status window, the story would be different…’

Unexpectedly, there were many things that the people here wanted to hide, especially in terms of disposition and characteristics.

It was not common, but considering that many people leaked false information by using the fact that others couldn’t check the status window, I thought that I would be the only one on the continent that could form a suitable group for this expedition.

Formation was also about statistics, after all.

If I compared the dungeon strategy to a soccer game and thought of the expedition’s formation as the 11 players, the answer would soon come to me.

I had to consider the rate percentage when two players were used together, the win rate when a particular player played at home, and the odds when they didn’t play.

The victory of the game would be the success of the expedition, and the defeat of the game would be the failure of the expedition.

Of course, certain parts could not be explained in this kind of way.

‘Because it’s just a numerical value, anyway.’

Obviously, there were other variables in practice, and it was entirely up to the expedition to respond to these said variables.

In the first place, if the players were capable enough to play against each other, they wouldn’t have needed a manager or coach.

Statistics never lie. This was far more persuasive than the useless power of friendship or the inexplicable kind of passion and spirit.

‘What kind of disposition usually fails in expeditions?’

Of course, I was not a god. I also knew that it was dangerous to judge a person only by their disposition or characteristic.

However, in order to increase the probability of success, even by a little, I knew it was not bad to quantify and mix these small parts. This was emphasized to me upon seeing how nervous our lovely returner was.

Unlike Park Deokgu, who optimistically thought, “We just need to draw well,” Kim Hyunsung was unexpectedly unable to hide his nervousness throughout the decision of this expedition.

It was obvious as to why he, who always exuded confidence, would be like this.

‘Has he ever experienced it?’

Again, this was only speculation, but I’m sure he’d have experienced the Crack Museum at least once. If not, at least he may have heard about this dungeon.

What I could predict was that if a mythic-grade monster pops out, all of our companions would be annihilated.

I knew how dangerous our situation was, given Hyunsung’s hardened expression. Due to his anxiety, preparations were done at an urgent pace.

Perhaps Kim Hyunsung is worried about the ones who have been sealed or have signed a contract with the Crack Museum.

There was definitely a monster that he thinks to be impossible to control with his own power.

‘I will carry you.’

There wasn’t much I could do, but at least I could help in this aspect.

It had been a while since I had focused on something to this extent. No, it had been a while since I’d been busy dividing most of my duties to others’ tasks.

It had also been a long time since Lee Jihye left the office upon noticing my energized state.

The meeting began, and the report of the unit I organized was safely delivered to Kim Hyunsung and Park Yeon-joo.

Of course…

“Hyunsung-ssi, your Vice Guild Master… is really competent. How… How is this… possible?”

The expedition I formed had gone onto an immediate pilot training session that produced results that even surprised the Guild Master of the Black Swan.

‘I was lucky.’

It had gone exactly what I thought.
