chapter 47
lord of ropes and whips
At the time I was remodeling two of the four guns I use, there was little I could do.
So now I decided to learn something other than guns.
what are you going to do to play
To become a decent cowboy, you have to learn other things besides guns.
This was the one I thought was most urgent.
I dealt with my opponent with a gun and kept my distance.
But no matter how great the guns are, the fundamentals of a cowboy are different.
A cowboy’s job is to ride horses and raise cattle.
There is one prerequisite for that.
One of the quirks I realized after hitting Sorina the other day was something like this.
[Discover hidden skills!]
master of rope and whip
– You hit someone like a whip.
– Whether it’s pain or pleasure, the other person is so surprised that tears come out!
– You can now handle ropes and whips.
Below that was another note of polite manners.
You are a man of many bones, dealing with people and animals with a long, flexible cord.
The rope and whip will always bend in the direction you want it to go.
And you know all too well how to move them.
But in return, you made a vow to the SM club and ranch god that you would not use them, showing your hostility to the many knives that cut whips and ropes.
When did I.
I kept reading my skills.
No matter how busy you are in the future, you cannot use your cutlery towards ‘living things’.
The only exceptions are forks, nail clippers and scissors.
If you have a dream of becoming a butcher, you should give up now.
If this happens, my idea of using a nice bowie knife is crossing the water.
I heard it and stabbed Lee Jung-soo with a pork cutlet knife, which is an essential tool in a Gyeongsang-style house.
He was made of steel, so he didn’t get hurt, but as the sword drew closer to him, I could feel my body draining of strength.
Feeling almost exhausted, I put my knife down and spread it on the floor.

Jeongsu Lee constantly asks while eating something.
“What’s up? Why are you cleaning the floor all of a sudden?”
“Nope. All of a sudden I saw a stain.”
I never stabbed anyone with a knife, but this might be a little tiring in case of emergency.
After possessing Rahobin, I moved to maximizing my strengths rather than trying to compensate for my shortcomings.
And at the point where I gained this flair, I came to the conclusion that in order to maximize my strengths, I need to be able to handle a whip and a rope.
Above all, there is nothing you can do with the gun right now.
I took the rope and whip I got in exchange for skill awakening and headed to the dungeon room.
And move according to the teachings of Anistine.
[okay. In that state, put the string into the loop.]
Knotting completes the great hangman’s knot.
[Now, find the motherf*cker you want to hang, hang it around your neck, hang it on a horizontal ceiling post, and pull it out. Even if you deal with a fairly heavy guy, the neck will break first and the rope won’t break.]
She watched me tying the rope with a satisfied look on her face.
[Should I be honest? coolie? I was a little skeptical when you said you were a cowboy with only guns. A cowboy must know how to handle a rope.]
“I admit it.”
Now was not the time to go around the dungeon, so it was necessary to learn at least one more.
If I only use guns, if I ever hit my limit, I have fewer options to overcome it.
Knowing your own fundamentals is a basic prerequisite to becoming a good person.
In order to do that, the basic thing you need to do is rope action.
This time, it’s an exercise in throwing a noose around the neck of an animal.
[It’s also a cowboy quality to hang a noose around the neck of an animal at once. It won’t be easy the first time, but…]
I hang a noose around the neck of a still mannequin at once.
“What did you say?”
[done. You’re a talent.]
After she released the noose, she went inside the mannequin and shook it vigorously.
[Still, it will never be easy to catch a moving target… Guaah!!]
The rope was hung on the mannequin at once and pulled.
Anistine, who had been grabbed by the neck for the first time since becoming a ghost, crawled out of the mannequin with a groan.
[This is unfair. I mean, it took me years to master this. They’re like goddamn guardians. Whatever I do, I do it like I’m good at everything.]
“What. Anyway, I need a lot of your know-how, so please help me.”
Anistine turned back, as if sulking.
[done. I don’t play with dirty cheaters anymore.]
“Master. If not Master, where would I learn such advanced skills? Don’t do that, let me tell you.”
[Ahem. You know something.]
While practicing individually, I also practice dealing with Anistine at the same time.
“Can you nest in this rope other than a gun?”
[There is nothing that cannot be done. But why?]
I know that when I fight with her, I can unleash even more power.

Just like when using a gun, Rope will be able to exert more lethal power with Anistine.
“There are times when I need your help urgently. Because I’m an amateur and I may not be able to fly the ropes properly. I want to write one in an unpredictable way that people can use when they are careless.”
[What, without touching your hand, use a rope to tie an opponent or snatch their feet?]
“What is it?”
Although she grunts, she nestles in the rope.
[In an unpredictable way. Can’t you correct it as a dirty number?]
“Let’s agree that this is an unfair method. Most of all, I need your help. Cowgirl.”
[right. An amateur like you needs a pro like me.]
Anistine, whose nose has risen again, is a very easy-to-handle ghost.
Anistine’s rope was certainly able to move like a whip.
Anistine, who moves like a snake, but moves in a flashy way so that it can catch you behind, brilliantly jumped in the direction I wanted.
If she and I coordinated, it seemed that I could wind the rope in the direction I wanted and the way I wanted to subdue the opponent.
“I think we need more practice. I think with a little more I can get used to it.”
[right. Practice makes perfect.]
It would be nice to have a more moving target, but right now I don’t have anyone to practice with.
Wait a minute. Is there a place to practice properly in this facility?
Go practice right now.
The place I went back to was the place where I did the rescue training last time.
It’s a zero ground omega.
This is usually a place for rescue drills and training for overcoming disaster areas, but
It was also a place that gave an appropriate level of difficulty so that individuals could cultivate the ability to overcome rough terrain.
A newly appointed instructor opened the facility.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a cadet. Are you here to hone a new skill?”
“That’s right. I’m here to hone my rope action.”
He climbed into the elevator of the tall tower with a tired expression on his face.
“And you must have come to me for advice.”
“I’m still at a beginner level, so I’m here to learn. I heard that the newly appointed instructor is an expert in this field.”
When everyone gets compliments, their lips go up.
In particular, when the level of these facilities rises to a certain level, people do not often visit them.
How grateful it is to have a cadet who ruminates about past glory to a newly appointed middle-aged instructor with low self-esteem.
And I sucked up the advice of a tired middle-aged man.
“Rope and whip. I’m using pretty old stuff. It just looks like it came from the farm. These days, cadets mostly use mechanical devices with cables. A hook gun or something that thieves can use. It’s about your body right now, so you can pull it off with it, but you’ll need something better than that to capture or subdue an enemy. It looks like it will break soon.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
sh*t. Then again, this means money is coming in.
The amount of money you need to put in increases as you hone new main skills one by one.
What I now have in hand is a whip that Indiana Jones would use and a thick rope for a lasso to throw at a cow in the West.
Now, dungeon subjugation is not enough.
A more fundamental investment is needed.
To do that, you must get a scholarship.
“It is important to know exactly what abilities you have. The best thing to do is to strengthen your physical abilities to the point where you can jump, and your ability to move.”
He left a bunch of tips and tricks.
Following his advice, I rode steel frames and pipes over and over again to carve out tall buildings.
You can use your whole body to change your position, use it to rescue others, and sometimes use it for attack or capture.
Above all, it is a weapon that can cover many of my weaknesses.
All the weapons I use are firearms, and weapons that inevitably make noise.
Even with a silencer, it is a problem, but the revolver is a weapon that cannot even be equipped with a silencer.
This is because there is a gap between the cylinder and the barrel.
This weapon, capable of subduing and capturing nearby enemies, is certainly capable of defeating enemies without revealing its position if used properly.
Of course it sounds like a whip.
Concealment and hiding are possible.
Unlike a gun whose position is unconditionally discovered when the battle begins, it may be possible to add more utility.
The middle-aged instructor continued to say whether he knew my heart.
“I’ve sent three combat bots in your direction now, so take care of yourself.”
A robot approaching with a red diode glowing.
When you fight with a gun, you can only send them in one shot, but now you have to deal with them more carefully.
player win. I raised my whip and struck the robot.
The whip cuts through the air and makes a sharp sound.
The first subsonic weapon of mankind was the whip.
If it were a human, it must have been strong enough to tear a part of its body.
It was a destructive force that left a long scar and said, ‘The oriental cowboy took my ear.’
But it was obviously not very helpful for the iron bots.
I can’t use this whip against a well-armored opponent.
However, the whip is not only valuable as a lethal weapon.
The whip I flew was wrapped around the bot’s arm, and I pulled it hard.
I lose my center of gravity and trample the head of the bot that came in front of me,
I know it’s a machine, but the feeling of crushing the motherboard is like stepping on the skull, so it’s a strange feeling.
At the same time, it grabs the bot’s arm that is pulling in the cutlery with a noose.
Tighten the noose tighter, break the robot’s arm, and wrap its neck with a rope to subdue it.
It then kicks the inundating bots and rips off their heads.
The noose, lost due to the head and body falling, is quickly retrieved back into my hands.
Again, I throw the lasso in my hand to the rest of the bot’s neck.
It catches and hangs it skillfully like a human hunter who has been dragging people for years.
“It’s a great way to fight. Because ropes and whips are unpredictable weapons. There must be very little experience in using such a weapon itself. If you encounter an enemy with a defense that is too high for a gun to work, you can’t kill it, but you can use it to subdue it.”
A middle-aged instructor taught me some skills.
I feel like I have become a more useful guardian after learning useful ways to move and things to go further in the dungeon.
Finally, it’s time to take the exam.
The whip can be used to move easily like Tarzan.
He wraps his whip around the pole on the other side and swings over it.
At least you won’t have to run a long distance forward to get in.
And the rope is good for climbing.
Hang the loop and tighten the knot.
And like a special forces soldier, he climbs on a single rope.
I couldn’t even imagine the original body, but the devil’s back made that possible.
“Originally, you have to go by tightening the bottom with your feet, but you can go up with just your arms. That’s great. But I’ll also teach you how to use your feet to climb. Be sure to remember If you don’t have the strength later, know that there is another way.”
Climbing the building was fun in its own way.
I was able to learn how to use my body using the power of my whole body, and it was good to overcome my weight and gravity and climb one step at a time.
The best thing in particular was thinking about how to climb that road.
As if playing chess against a cliff, he climbed up between the grooves with his feet and overcame them day by day.
Did it take about two hours like that?
I succeeded in climbing to the end of the building without using the stairs.
The wind blowing from above the building seems to blow away the salt and heat from my whole body.
Shaking the sweat from my fluttering hair, I look into the distance.
The sweat you shed today reduces the blood you shed tomorrow.
Today, in the future, I slightly reduced the probability that someone dear to me will die.

Looking at the noisy class atmosphere, I could tell that something unusual had happened.
“Hobini. The date before the promotion has changed!”
“how?”
Looking at the schedule, my eyebrows automatically go up.
That’s a big problem.
The position of the ascending and descending battle had been moved to the middle of the weapon modification, as if they were openly poking at me.
I ended up playing the relegation battle without the weapon I had planned to receive.
I’m still close to a beginner when it comes to ropes, and I’m still not proficient enough to use it in real battles.
Besides, the opponent assigned to me is a class D tank.
A rope and whip alone will not do any significant damage.
I don’t want to give it away easily.
I will definitely go to the house with the living room.
After class, I found Betty.
Betty sighs as she listens.
“Even if you beat me to death, the gun doesn’t come out within the deadline. The material for the product you requested has arrived and is on the way to the grinder, and the gun that will be the base has already disassembled all the detailed parts and discarded the old parts…”
“It doesn’t have to be that gun. But if you have a gun that I can use even for a moment, give me one.”
“eww. Right now, I only have an automatic pistol. I’ll look for something useful for a while.”
There’s one thing that catches my eye over Betty, who is digging through old cupboards.
“How about that one? Betty?”
“ah? Is that that?”
The thing she put down was quite old.
“Obviously it’s a gun that fits your gun, but can you use it in real life? Ammunition capacity, range, everything would not be satisfactory?”
“Instead, there is a surprise.”
i ask her
“This and this. And lend me this. this will live Please lend me the grinder for a moment.”
“I think I know what you are thinking. But would that be enough?”
“You should try.”
I’m sorry for those plotting this scheming, but I’m ready to deal with it.
But before I crush it, I’ll have to get the basics of a cowboy with the skills I’ve acquired.
