19 Information manipulation ②




 One thread on an anonymous forum was gaining momentum with new information.

 I heard they found a staircase in Kanazawa's mercantile house.

 mjk, did someone capture it?

 9 Nameless Adventurer ID: fdewsah
 I heard it just appeared out of nowhere, right near the entrance.

 Huh? Near the entrance?
 You're lying.

 11 Nameless Adventurer ID: fdewsah
 I'm serious.

 12 Nameless Adventurer ID: csxfrev
 Has anyone else been up there?

 13 Nameless Adventurer ID: fdewsah
 They say it's not an ascent, it's a descent.

 14 Nameless Adventurer ID: sdgresx
 I'm well aware of that information.
 You know, I hear they have equipment in the basement that's stronger than the Black Iron Sword.

 The thread was a nice rough one. By the way, 14 and 16 are my posts.

 Unfortunately, no humanity has reached the underground treasure chest yet, but I've actually planted a piece of equipment higher than the Black Iron Series - Silver Spear.

 This equipment will be presented to a human being who seems to have a rear end and likes social networking.

 And the point of this expansion was the location of the stairs.

 While dungeons are supposed to be placed at the far end of a dungeon, I deliberately placed them right next to the entrance.

 The reason was to entice high level humanity to the first level without wasting their lives reaping the lives of the first level's underlings.

 Perhaps, but the higher level humans had more experience.

 The aim was to make the dark elves behind them gain experience, to clarify the segregation and provide the low-level humans with a safe place to earn money as before, and the high-level humans with a place to earn money that they could head to immediately.

 After that, the clever manipulation of information (writing through self-made posts) continued to work, and a small number of human beings, even those beyond level 3, began to invade my controlled territory.

 The second layer, the dispositions I've placed since the beginning of the game, are wolves and goblins.

 Once humanity reaches level 3, they are used to fighting. With a half-hearted force, they would easily just present their experience.

 The concept of this time is to let the Wolves and Goblins, who are good at group battles, reduce their strength in the early stages, and then use their elite troops to finish the job.

 After repeated trial and error, I tried to adjust the number and types of subordinates and equipment to be deployed to maintain an appropriate survival rate.

 It's hard........

 The adjustment was even more difficult than he had imagined. The factor was the strength of the human race.

 It's unclear how strong they became in terms of stats as they grew from level 1 to 2 or 2 to 3, but whether it should be called player skill or mental growth, humanity had become stronger than their stats.

 Specifically, they were no longer hesitant to defeat their subordinates (monsters). Attacks became more skillful - they were used to fighting.

 In the end, we had to throw in a fully equipped kobold, a new force of dark elves, and a foul goblin that could be called a tiger's child every time.

 In the end, the fight to the death was repeated, and humanity's survival rate had reached a dangerous level of less than 50%.

 This is bad......... If things continue like this, we won't be treated as a 'breadwinner' anymore.

 According to the information I've gathered from the Internet, there is a group of people backed by the government and large corporations, commonly referred to as the "Gachigans" or the "Brave Men" or the "Heroes".

 They are an elite group of people who devote themselves to the liberation of inaccessible areas and the capture of dungeons with the noble mission of "the survival of mankind". As long as the dungeons are designated as "profit centers," they won't be targeted, with the help of public opinion...

 It would be a problem if the "tough guys" came.

 However, my fears were dispelled by a strange incident.

 That event was the presentation of a Silver Spear to the long-awaited, rear-facing young intruder.

 When I learned of the intrusion of 12 young people who were going "Eeeewww," I instructed my men to cut corners. The chosen youths successfully arrived at the treasure chest and got Silver Spear.

 The youths immediately retreated when they obtained the Silver Spear.

 Then, at the entrance to my domain, they raised their silvery white spears to the heavens and proudly posted on social media.

 It was apparently the first time a rank C equipment appeared from a treasure chest, and the young man was in a frenzy. The world covered the photos posted by the young man in the news every day.

 The power of the Silver Spear that the young man had obtained was tremendous, and the young man who was level 2 quickly grew to level 4 in the blink of an eye. Once again, he had shown the world the importance of equipment.

 I mean, that Mr. "Eewww" was level 2?

 --!

 Level 2?

 I've come up with a plan.

 Currently, the highest level of humanity is 11, but that person is a foreign human being. If it was Japan, the ace of the government-backed "gachi-tai" would be 8. 6 was the highest level for local heroes.

 Currently, my controlled territory was packed to the brim, with the benefit of Mr. 'Eewww', but there were also the occasional high-level humans who had targeted Silver Spear and invaded the area.

 The high-level humans were troublesome anyway. To be more specific, the CP was in a huge deficit.

 Goblins and Wolves were cut down like scraps of paper, and the one thing they could manage to counter was a fully equipped Kobold. If I prepared the same number of Kobolds with full Silver Series equipment, I could advance the battle to my advantage, but if they were defeated, the lost CP would be endlessly large.

 If possible, I'd prefer that the humans invading my territory be level 3 or lower.

 Therefore, I begin to prepare for information manipulation.

 I've changed the contents of the treasure chest to match the level of the invading humans. The Silver Spear was given to the level 2 humans who had invaded. Even level 3 humans would receive the Black Iron Series equipment. Level 4 humans were presented with the Iron Series equipment, and those who had exceeded level 5 were presented with a wooden sword.

 Naturally, not all intruders were presented with the equipment, but the equipment was adjusted for randomness as a jackpot.

 In addition, he used anonymous message boards to manipulate information.

''I heard that the treasure chest in Kanazawa's 'earning ground' becomes a good item if the level is low, and it becomes trash if the level is high.'''

 At first, it was not credible and was treated as a story, but a level 5 human being who obtained the wooden sword posted an angry comment on social media. On the contrary, the lucky boy who obtained the Silver Spear posted joyful comments on social networking sites, which made my fabrications ring true.

 As a result, with the addition of the great work of the 'Association for the Protection of Earned Money', the humanity that invaded my control area was mainly level 3 and below.
