New start

Velo, pull out the catalog for the stuff that he can buy. The A.I tells him that the only things left are some utility stuff like a bed, portable tent, or glowing flashlight. He can even upgrade the wristband terminal to do more things.

But the cost is too expensive like upgrading the terminal to have a force field costs 12,000 points. So Velo start looking at a more affordable.

He lands on an item called heating pads. It's a square pad of about 5 Cm in length. It's used for heating cooking utensils making them hot instantly. Even though it's a one-use item, Velo can get 3 of them. He thinks that this will come in use full if he wants to cook something in the wasteland. In addition, it can set the temperature up to 200c.

With, the help of the A.I. Velo can also remove the limiter and heat the chosen object up to 1000c.This can be used as a weapon as the A.I. suggests.

Velo asks for a simulation of the Fassa gun, but the A.I. can't get an accurate simulation with just a description, so Velo has to bring the gun here. He got a little disappointed. But he can't do anything about it, so he brushes it off.

The A.I. after hearing the description from Velo, asks him to record or capture the city and its ruins. In exchange, the A.I. would get him an extra reward. Another thing that he has to do was find out why the ruin tracker flooded the underground base.

Velo completely forgot this objective in his first run. This time now that he has more information, he should form a plan.

He has to reliably kill a ruin tracker. If he wants to stop the ruin tracker flood, he knows that he has to kill a lot of them. So he plans to get the Fassa gun here and let the A.I. scan it and use the simulation to kill it with the Fassa.

Or alternatively, he can earn more money and purchase a more powerful gun. He palms his face because he could have prepared for that if he had just asked the shop owner.

Velo, decide to go with the same setup as last time, but this time he brings more nutrient packs with him. He makes his way out of the Dumo ruins and waits for the same truck to pass by.

Velo arrives at the O'ruma city in the slum part. He plans to sell the nutrient pack one at a time. Selling all of them at once will paint a big target on his head.

After that almost the same event happened. he felt a sense of Dejavu. It's like he reliving his life again.

The next morning he grab his money at the hunter guild and buy the hunter terminal. This time he makes sure to turn off the auto-battle record.

He goes to the gun shop this time too. There's no way he will miss out on a free gun with the generous shop owner. Velo got done with that too.

Velo's now at the hunter guild for information.

"Hello is there an escort mission to Dumo ruins?"

Velo, ask the receptionist. The guy that hears his question looks at him like he's an insane person.

"Sorry sir, no one wants to go to Dumo ruin now due to the sudden invasion of a ruin tracker. There you are a notice that you receive 2 days ago."

"Oh... then is there like a subjugation request?"

"There is, but at your rank, you wouldn't be able to receive any of them plus no team would accept you."

A ruin tracker invasion is a rare event where a lot of ruins tracker gather at the ruins. People often get a hunch that they're looking for something but they don't know.

Velo is now stuck with nowhere to go again. He has two options first which is to go on an escort request to Dumo tower like he did in the past or to buy vehicle and travels there. The first option is now undoable unless he gains more credibility and the second one requires more than 10 million tels.

Then his only option now is the new hunter program from Frenzy or sell more of the nutrient packs. He bring a total of 4 this time.

"Can I apply for the new hunter program from Frenzy?"

"Let me check..... Yes, you are qualified, the location of their base has been sent to your terminal."

"Thank you."

"Wait for a second........ You're Velo right?"

"Yes"

"The inner walls people want to speak with you"

"?"

Velo is visibly confused. The receptionist guy looks at him and laughs.

"Well, you did sell 2 Chocolate flavor nutrient bars right?"

"Yes"

"That's the reason, They most likely want to buy more from you. Anyway, a car will arrive to take you to the wall. Make sure to wait outside."

Velo is very suspicious of this. His experience says that it wouldn't be as simple as selling his good but on the other hand, if he can get access to inner walls it'd get him more points. He waited outside the hunter guild and a luxury-looking car came up to him.

"Get in the car kid."

The driver says that with a disdainful expression and a harsh unwelcoming voice. Velo often hears that inner walls people don't like people that live in the slum. It's turned out that they're not exaggerating.

Velo gets inside, the car is decorated with luxurious leather seats. Velo nervously takes a seat. It's not as soft as the bed in Dumo tower but it's better than the cheap hotel.

"Don't touch anything. You will put your filthy slum scent on the car"

"..."

Velo sits still after hearing him. Velo doesn't affect by the man taunting words but he also doesn't find it pleasing either.

The car travels through the crudely construct cement road closer to the wall.
