Chapter 5 Decimal And Hexadecimal Numbers
It may be a little late, but this part about Space Attribute and Healing Attribute.
Space Attribute: 1 Healing Attribute: 1F
Is this like the attribute level? Space Attribute is 1, but there's an F to the right of 1 for Healing Attribute.
It's the same in other places too. For example, it seems to be related to physical status.
Strength: 1E Mana Quantity: C8
Strength is 1E, and Mana Quantity is C8? Is it a glitch, perhaps? Just because I'm not a hero, does it have to be this bad?
The tablet-like thing didn't have a display for strength, but if it did, it would probably be 1. Mana Quantity is probably the maximum MP, right? This might also be displayed as 8.
No matter which display I look at, there are only letters from A to F besides the numbers. But it feels like I've seen it somewhere before. Oh, it might have been at work.
My job, I was a systems engineer, so I kind of noticed something. This, it might be hexadecimal notation for 1E.
In decimal notation, it goes like this: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then it carries over to become 10.
But in hexadecimal notation, it goes like this: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, and then it carries over to become 10 (which is sixteen in decimal).
When you convert 10 (which is sixteen) in hexadecimal to decimal, it's not 10 (which is ten) but actually 16. It's a bit confusing, but this is how it's counted.
So, if the strength stat is 1E, when you convert it to decimal, umm, 10 becomes 16 and E becomes 14, so it's 16 + 14 which is 30. The strength stat is 30, huh? ...Wait, this seems familiar.
I remember now, in a certain MMO, my character was a priest. They're still in the process of leveling up, but I think I allocated 30 points to strength.
I'm pretty sure Healing Magic was at level 31. When converted to hexadecimal, that's 1F? Huh? I remember the maximum MP was 200, in hexadecimal that's C8. Huh? What's going on? It's the same as the display on the screen though?
Anyway, I'll understand once I raise Healing Magic by 1. It should display as 20 (with a zero) when it goes up again. Let's think of a way to raise it.
How strong is 30 strength? Landing from that height like a superhero, without breaking ankles or wrists. Normally, wouldn't you break a bone?
...Anyway, let's aim for the Adventurer's Guild or something. That's a common template in light novels, right? And then there's the inn, and meals, no, the tavern. I want a drink. I just want a drink. Anyway, alcohol. I can't do this without a drink.
As I started to walk, my right ankle hurt. It doesn't seem to be broken, but maybe it's just a sprain. What should I do? Oh, I know. Can't I use Healing Magic?
Squatting down, I put my hand on my right ankle. "Heal," ... No effect. I try "Display Self-Status" again and tap on the Healing Attribute. Oh, it moved to the next screen. What's this? Huh? Is this the spell list straight out of an MMO?
Well, it's subtly different, isn't it? Oh well, "Recover (healing spell)." ...Ohhh, the pain is easing. The magic amount also decreased from C8 (200) to C7 (199).
Since the Healing Attribute level is 31, it seems I can use advanced healing spells. The ones above are grayed out, probably not usable? Alright, looks like I can level up my skills. I'll find some time to give it a try.
Anyway, I should go to the guild. Without limping from the no-longer-painful right foot, I walk along the buildings towards the royal castle.
This royal castle is huge, massive. I wonder if I've been walking for about 10 minutes? Finally, the seams of the outer wall have appeared.
A drawbridge? So long. The area around the royal castle is surrounded by a moat, so once the bridge is raised, you can't enter. Well, that's why the outer wall is long.
But this isn't the main gate, huh? After all, there's hardly any coming and going of people. If I go from the other side, will I come across the main gate? Ugh, going back is such a hassle.
Even though I've walked a long distance and for a long time, strangely, I'm not out of breath. Me, who tends to be indoorsy, could I have done this much exercise? Or maybe I'm still in a dream――nah, that can't be it. My ankle hurt, after all.
Gradually, the town below the castle should be visible soon. Or maybe not. It's not like the castle is right next to the town below, right? Then what kind of tourist spot is it?
After crossing the drawbridge, looking right and left, I can see pedestrian traffic in the distance on the right side. I can't see anything on the left. So, let's go right.
After walking for a while, I managed to reach a place with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Now, first I thought of looking for a tavern, but something caught my attention and I tried to 'Display Self-Status'.
The screen display looks AR-like as usual. I looked all around from the upper right to the lower right. And there it was, the current time displayed as '16:54.' When I tapped it, the display switched to '4:54 PM.' Maybe this one's better.
Ah, amidst the commotion of the transport, was it because I wasn't a Hero? Or was it because there's a goddess who took pity on me and did this? I mean, due to some reason or another, it seems that my UMPC (notebook computer) was destroyed and 'something' got mixed up. There were smartphones, but I couldn't find the UMPC anywhere. That's probably what happened.
It's almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so this sun-like star is tilting, giving off the evening sun? No, it might not necessarily be setting in the west. Either way, soon the sun will set and it will become night. I need to find a place to have dinner and some alcohol, and I also need to find a place to stay. Oh, rather than that, maybe I could find a guild and get some good recommendations there.
No, more than that. I have to survive in this world from now on. I have no one to rely on. I understand the reality well. However, considering what needs to be done in the current situation, if I think of it as the MMO I always played and consider what's missing, the first thing that comes to mind is food and drink. If they run out, I'm done for. Even if I have money, money can't fill my stomach or quench my thirst.
Alright, time to go shopping. Then I'll find a suitable place to stay, and after that, it's dinner and drinks. Once I've decided, it's time to act. It's not like there's a tomorrow over there. I have to act as if it's a death game where it's over when you die.
If food and drink are integrated into my UMPС through an OS that governs something like 'Display Self-Status' here, storing them in the inventory will prevent them from spoiling. Even if they do spoil, if I store items that can be preserved, I won't be in trouble.
Thinking that way, I went on a shopping spree for food and drinks with up to three gold coins. Out of the 30 slots in my inventory, 25 were empty. Five of them were filled with dried meat, grilled meat skewers, water, and sweet drinks. I see, so you can stack the same items. It's really helpful, seriously.
In one slot, I have a drink that's extremely cold. I put it there to take it out tomorrow morning and check if it hasn't become lukewarm. This kind of verification process is essential for gamers.
