I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 089
26. Treasure Goblin (2)
The sap of the World Tree was rolling around on the floor of level 41.5.
“What is this?”
Serin lifted the cup made of leaves and tilted her head when she noticed the clean dew inside.
“If it’s the sap of the world tree??????
Eugene, who was shaking the treasure goblin, found Serin standing there awkwardly and asked her.
“this……
When Serin approached Eugene holding a leaf cup and showed him the item, Eugene immediately let out an exclamation of admiration.
“Hey, this?”
Eugene, who had a nostalgic expression on his face at the object that brought back old memories, held out the leg of the treasure goblin he was holding to Serin.
“Hold it for a moment.”
“yes?”
“The level is covered with a question mark, but the speed is fast and the strength is not that strong, so just hold on tight.”
“Hey! Human! Let go!”
Seo Rin, who had been given the goblin by chance, frowned at the sight of the guy writhing around in a handstand pose.
“I miss you.”
“Is this something you know?”
“I know.”
When I saw the word ‘World Tree’ in the item name, I had a suspicion, but it seemed like it was directly related to Rasil.
“If it weren’t for this on the 98th floor, I wouldn’t be here.”
As Eugene muttered with a longing expression, Serin, who had guessed that it might be that way, smiled awkwardly and answered.
“Then, what is that ‘transcendent poison’ that was displayed on the window?” “It’s a vicious poison.”
“Huh??????
“The 98th floor that I saw was exactly like this. I started off by receiving a reward because I came down from the 99th floor. So to speak… first the ordeal, then the reward.”
“First the trials, then the rewards?”
“Because I came down from the 100th floor backwards. The process of clearing the trials and receiving the rewards was also reversed for me.”
It started from level 1 to floor 100, so it would have been fair to have that level of handicap.
“Well, I guess so.” Seo Rin asked Eugene, who was grabbing the treasure goblin he had handed over back into his hands.
“But there’s no particular reward… Ah, La Sil and Eternal were the rewards for the 98th floor?”
Eugene, who had been chuckling without realizing it as Serin, who had asked the question, found the answer on her own, spoke up.
“no.”
“Wasn’t it?”
“The reward for that level was a branch of the World Tree. It was one of the few items obtained from above… without a level restriction.”
Before Serin could ask her question, Eugene continued.
“But it broke on the way down.”
“yes?”
“It’s broken.”
Eugene, who had been gritted his teeth as he answered, began swinging the arm holding the treasure goblin even more forcefully.
“Ugh, ugh! No!”
The treasure goblin’s bundle, which had started to scatter gold along with coins, had become quite emaciated compared to when we first encountered it.
“Eww, my gold! My treasure! No! No!”
The Treasure Goblin was a being that could only be encountered when certain conditions were met.
First, there will be a lot of goblins around.
Second, you will need to lure enough goblins with enough gold to summon the treasure goblins.
Third, pour the prepared gold into the mouth of the goblin that is attracted to gold and can become a treasure goblin.
There are three main conditions that must be met before you can meet him… This guy.
“Humans are cruel! The cruelest in the world! The treasure I worked so hard to collect! Oh, damn it, they’re trying to take it away!”
As the bundle became lighter, the treasure goblin’s groaning grew louder.
“I poured in ten million gold, so I need to spit out a little more.”
The rule was that the treasure goblin summoned in this way would give a reward equal to the amount of gold invested by the climber. Of course, catching the treasure goblin summoned in this way and extracting the treasure was entirely up to the climber’s own ability… … .
“The bundle seems empty now… Will it still come out if I shake it some more?”
Tears and snot were pouring down from her golden face.
Although he was ugly, Serin felt pity for him as he cried pitifully, so she suggested that it be okay.
“??Keeeek!”
Eugene mercilessly drove his fist into the abdomen of the treasure goblin that was hanging upside down.
“Don’t feel sorry for these kids for no reason. The moment you feel sorry for them, they’ll hit you in the back of the head.”
“Oh, really?”
“Goblin guys are a particularly cunning race. This one is particularly vicious.”
Eugene chuckled as he watched her throw up, saying, “Kuhek!” after punching her in the stomach a few more times.
“Clever… …
Serin, who knew the characteristics of goblins, gulped and swallowed.
“This kid, you must have hidden something in your stomach too. Throw it up quickly. If you don’t want to get beaten up more.”
“Keuk, keuk! Save me… …
Seo Rin, who had a hard time seeing the whole scene, reluctantly turned her head.
She asked curiously as she waited for the violence to end while looking around the scenery on the 41.5th floor.
“Treasure Goblins… can only be seen here?”
Eugene, who was holding the treasure goblin upside down, answered Serin’s question lightly.

“no.”
This method of summoning the treasure goblins should work not only on the 41.5th floor, but also on the goblins you meet on the 50th floor and above.
“You can see it from above, but it’s not as easy to call it out as it is now… It’s a structure that can be seen from a hidden space, not a hidden layer.”
Summoning the treasure goblin, using it to invest gold to steal the treasure… the 41st floor was the best.
“First, pack your things.”
Eugene, who had been telling the treasure goblin to collect the items that had fallen on the floor after the explanation, hit the treasure goblin’s stomach once more, even though it couldn’t even make a ‘kkuek’ sound.
Bam…….
The treasure goblin, which had vomited out the last item in its stomach with one last punch, turned into golden dust and disappeared.
[Treasure Goblin’s Ring]
[Rank: Unique]
[accessories]
[This is the first treasure that the Treasure Goblin acquired. It brings greater fortune to the wearer.]
[Wearing Conditions: None]
[Luck ability increases significantly.]
[Possessiveness: Increases the probability of obtaining items of Rare grade or higher through Trial Hunting.]
Eugene, who had checked the last item dropped by the treasure goblin, quickly threw it to Serin.
“It’s a dud.”
“A dud?” “Aside from the items in the bundle, there’s another item that the treasure goblin usually drops. I needed that… but it didn’t drop.”
“But this looks good enough, doesn’t it?”
“It’s bad for me.”
Even if wearing that ring greatly increased one’s luck, it was impossible for one’s luck stat to change from minus to plus.
“I’ll just pack it for now.”
Serin, who had moved the items she had received into her inventory, straightened her knees and stood up from her seat.
“Is it the end?”
“It’s the end. What more do you expect?”
Serin muttered with a strange expression as she looked at the scenery from the 41.5th floor.
“Don’t you pack these?”
The setting here was a room filled with gold and silver treasures.
As expected of a treasure goblin’s lair, the walls were made entirely of gold, and everything rolling around was gold.
“You can’t pick them up. To be exact, even if we pick them up, they’ll go back to where they were when we leave here… Picking them up is useless.”
“ah.”
“The only thing we can take from here is what the treasure goblin had.”
Serin nodded at Eugene’s explanation before asking how to get to the next floor.
Sssss! The golden dust that had been the treasure goblins until just now began to surround the two people’s bodies. [Current floor: 45th floor]
In the shattered forest.
“hmm.
A pot-bellied giant that looked like two thatched cottages put together was walking around, making a thump, thump, sound like the earth was spinning.
45th floor.
In other words, the ogre layer.
It was also the first floor where climbers who started from the first floor encountered strength beyond their standards.
“Somehow, I feel like it’s a practice ogre.”
“Is this for practice?”
The two people who escaped from the 41.5th floor where the treasure goblin was were hiding behind a broken tree and watching the ogre.
“Yeah. For practice.”
To Eugene, the ogres here looked like babies compared to the ogres he encountered on floors 50 and above.
“The goblins originally felt like rascals, so they were similar, but that one… It needs to be a bit more powerful to make people feel alert.”
Perhaps because the stairs to the 44th floor were blocked, there weren’t many climbers going up to the 45th floor.
“Isn’t there an instructor here?”
“Uh… … Serin tilted her head as she looked around at Eugene’s question.
“That’s right. Since this is a trial, there should be three instructors… but why can’t I see them?”
This time, Eugene tilted his head.
‘Did he suddenly get old?’
It was because the voice coming from the side was very quiet and different from what I had heard before.
“???Who, who are you?”
Serin, who discovered the protagonist with a hoarse voice before Eugene, asked the old man sitting next to her.
“Just… a priest passing by.”
It was an old woman wearing a simple nun’s habit.
“Oh, I think you’re addicted… Can I help you with this?”
Before I could even hear the answer, the old nun reached out and began to use her divine powers.
Then… … .
Eugene’s body began to create small fireflies through the divine power used by the old nun.
[The status effect ‘Vile’ has been purified.]
At the same time, a window appeared before Eugene’s eyes, showing that the evil had been purified.
‘ what?’
The Eternal’s evil, which could only be purified by the sap of the World Tree that had not rotted, was completely purified by the divine power used by the old nun.
‘how?’
Eugene, who had been making a blank expression, narrowed his eyes as he grabbed Seo Rin’s shoulder.
“In my opinion… it doesn’t seem like you’re just a passing person?”
Of course, it was a grateful thing that it had purified the evil that had not yet been resolved, but the fact that it had come close to me without me even noticing… I couldn’t just pass it by.
‘Something is strange.’
The old nun who approached me without me knowing was very suspicious, but strangely, I didn’t feel wary.
“The old lady in the nun’s habit… … Unlike Serin, who was narrowing her eyes in wariness, Serin was mumbling while blankly staring at the old nun who approached her.
“Are you… a saint?”
“what?”
“The Saintess of the Field Guild! Now that I think about it, the necklace is… …
Serin, who had discovered the necklace symbolizing the Field Guild, checked the head of the old nun.
[Sophia]
[Level: 81]
Certainly, it was the name of a saint.
