I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 099
29. Shin-gung Lee Su-jin (2)
“no.”
Lee Soo-jin, who had been shaking her head, tilted her upper body back to show that she had no such intention.
“It must be some kind of monster like that ‘warlock’… I don’t want to experience that kind of humiliation again.”
Lee Soo-jin, who was muttering while leaning her upper body back, added with a subtle expression.
“However, if you are going to pick a fight with me, I have no intention of avoiding it.”
I was confident that it wouldn’t turn out like it did a few months ago when I confronted the unidentified warlock on the 10th floor.
She succeeded in making the name Shin-Gung her own, and the arrows and skills she used were also… different from back then.
“??? Exactly?”
Eugene shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Soojin, who was leaning back.
“I have no intention of making a move unless someone challenges me first. Even though it looks like this, I’m still busy.”
Eugene got up from his seat.
“Are you going? Since you came here yourself without sending the deer, I thought you’d stay a little longer and then go?”
As the sponsor stood up, Philip, who had been sipping the beer he had received as a gift, showed a slight hint of disappointment.
“I’ll stay on the 20th floor, but I don’t think this is a problem that can be solved at Philip’s store.”
“What is it?” “I received a letter, but it has been soaked in deer saliva and the ink has smudged.”
Eugene, who couldn’t show the contents, only showed the blackened letter and asked for a recommendation for the next destination.
“I want to restore some of the damaged parts.”
Philip, who had confirmed his problem, nodded his head, hiding his regret.
“Well, that can’t be fixed here. Rather than blacksmiths or inventors… it would be better to look towards the alchemists.”
alchemist.
They were the creators of the workshops in the tower that made magic scrolls, potions, jewels, and other magical items.
“Alchemists… Is there anyone you can recommend?”
“No. I’m not close with those gentlemen.”
As Eugene clicked his tongue in disappointment at Philip’s answer, Lee Soo-jin quickly got up from her seat and spoke to him.
“I know.”
“There are some pretty good alchemists. I know one.”
Eugene looked at her, thought about it for about 10 seconds, and then asked.
“Hmm, weren’t you wary of me?”
“I was on guard. I did.”
Shin-gung Lee Su-jin let out a short sigh and continued speaking.
“I saw that cloak and knew it had nothing to do with drugs. I wanted to apologize for picking a fight out of the blue, and I also had a suggestion to make.”
He pulled his chin in and his face still had a lingering sense of discomfort, but there was no hint of malice.
“Well, okay.”
Eugene readily agreed to accompany them.
“???for a moment.”
Philip stopped Eugene as he was leaving the store, and suddenly held out his right hand and asked him a favor.
“Can I check the condition of your sickle?”
“Ah, yes.” I was worried that its durability might have decreased since I swung it with all my might twice… It was just the right time.
“Please.”
Eugene, who had left the sickle he took out of his inventory, left Philip’s shop with Lee Soo-jin.
“What do you suggest?”
Eugene, who was following Lee Soojin, who was leading the way, to find an alchemist she knew, immediately asked.
“There are two.”
“Do you have any suggestions?”
When Lee Soo-jin nodded, Eugene’s face frowned.
“Can you introduce me to one alchemist, or two… I can listen to them and then decide?”
Lee Soo-jin nodded repeatedly and told him about two things she wanted to suggest to him.
“The first offer is that you go after the warlock of the Drug Guild with me, and the second offer is that you introduce me to the warlock who knocked me out before.” Eugene, who had been grimacing at her offer, asked why.
“Why such a suggestion?”
“Because that’s what I want.”
Eugene let out a short sigh at her answer, his heart leaning towards rejection.
“By the way, the problem of ink spreading on paper… I think it can be solved without going to the alchemist you recommended?”
There was no reason to accept it.
“No, I think you should accept my offer.”
“Why?”
“That letter… It said something about the teacher and the hidden class?”
When Lee Soo-jin, who was leading the way, mentioned the contents of the letter, Eugene’s legs, who was following her, stopped for a moment.
“Of course I didn’t look at it in detail, but it seems like a pretty important letter… Isn’t it about something that shouldn’t be mentioned elsewhere?” It was certain that he had glanced at the contents of the letter with his Shingu eyes.
‘You shouldn’t turn off the absolute domain for no reason… …
Eugene grumbled to himself, activated his absolute domain, and looked at Lee Soo-jin.
“Yes, well… there was some content written there that would be embarrassing if it were revealed.”
“Then even more so… you should follow my suggestion. If you accept both of my suggestions, it’ll be a win-win situation. You’ll keep the information and get introduced to an alchemist.”
“Why?”
Eugene asked again, “Why?”
“Why… The contents of the letter… …
“Why don’t you just kill him?”

The atmosphere froze in an instant.
It felt like a cold wind was blowing.
“Right now, here, if I twist your neck and run away… I don’t think there’s any need to listen to your offer.”
“haha??????
“You don’t think you can do it?” Eugene’s ten fingers, which were pointing toward the floor, began to gain strength.
“There will be a penalty, right?”
Sujin, who was staggering in the invisible cold wind, barely managed to ask in a trembling voice.
“yes.”
Eugene answered.
“I didn’t get penalized.”
“Murderer… Are you a believer?”
Lee Soo-jin, who mistook Eugene for the hidden class, held her breath with a pale expression.
“no.”
It wasn’t that I had changed my profession to the hidden class of Murderer… I was just at level 10, so I wasn’t at a level where I would receive a penalty.
“Now I’m thinking maybe I should have just changed my career to that… …
This was a lie.
A lie that works.
“You saw the trending article, right? If you can chase it in both the field and Everest at the same time, don’t you have a rough idea of what it’s like?”
If it’s a shrine, it’s a nickname given to the best archer in the tower.
With such a nickname, there was no way she wouldn’t know the meaning of the trending article she had just checked.
“I think the situation should be reversed just by not killing them and letting them live, but I have two suggestions… Shouldn’t I make them?”
Soojin’s lips, which had not been able to breathe properly, began to tremble.
“Oh my god??????”
The name Lee Su-jin… It was a name that Eugene was also familiar with.
The name was originally not the ‘Shin-gung’ of the tower, but the famous name of the ‘National Representative’ outside the tower.
I remembered the peaceful but not-so-peaceful times when I didn’t know there was a tower… the moment when I cheered on the national team with my grandmother in the jade tower.
‘Lee Su-jin of the Republic of Korea! Lee Su-jin! Gold medal!’
Eugene, with a bitter expression on his face as he recalled the past, chewed over the words, “fellow Korean.”
“Let’s be fair. Be fair.” Soojin, who had barely escaped the cold wind, listened to Eugene’s words while sweating profusely.
“I may not be able to accept your proposal in the way you want… but I can accept it indirectly.”
“then?”
“To be fair, I have two suggestions that I hope you’ll consider.”
When Eugene raised his index and middle fingers and mentioned two suggestions, Lee Soojin nodded immediately.
“Okay.” A fair deal seemed much safer against this monster than a one-sided offer.

In a small, deserted village that wasn’t in ruins, Serin sighed as she ate bread from a basic store.
“ha.”
It was just before dawn.
Serin, who had been chewing on the words ‘urur’ and ‘stampede’ that Eugene had told her, muttered, unable to endure the long silence.
“A floor where you are given a chance to level up… Tough times… Geek■Oh… It must be a floor where large-scale trials appear… …
Seo Rin, who was recalling the advice he had given her, met his eyes with a dreary figure.
“It seems like you’re not getting enough sleep.” When Eternal asked, Serin, who was fidgeting with her folded fingers, muttered something vague.
“I have insomnia.”
〈I see.〉
Serin, who felt a little relieved by the evil spirit’s calm answer, turned her gaze towards the hill where the dawn was rising at the sound she felt from afar.
“What is that??????
I saw something bustling.
I thought they were a bunch of bugs moving around, but upon closer inspection, I saw that they weren’t bugs at all.
Goblins and orcs… … .
Two trials were swarming like swarms of insects, covering the hillside at dawn.
They were rushing in to reduce the empty village where Serin was living to ruins.
‘I see. So this is the floor where you are given the opportunity to level up…
Serin broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the monsters, which were probably in the thousands.
〈???Are you scared?〉
A small evil spirit sitting on the deer’s horn asked.
“well?”
Serin answered.
“With you two protecting me from behind, what could I be afraid of?”
〈I’m sorry, little brother… but this body will focus on taking care of the deer teeth.〉
“haha??????
The evil spirit grumbled as he answered, but she could tell.
Even if you say that, if you are in danger, you will be watching me closely… … .
〈Euuum… … ?> While talking to Eternal, Serin heard the sound of a country girl opening her eyes.
〈Uh, uh… Huh?〉
Rasil, still half-asleep, looked around, the leaves sprouting from his head twitching.
〈Here… … .>
Heh, his mouth opened wide and he turned towards the evil spirit sitting on the opposite horn.
〈Are you awake, tree woman?〉
<… … .>
The small lips that were gaping open began to tremble, bee, bee, bee.
〈My, my seat… On that horn, why is Eternal… I told you not to let me sit… … .>
Serin, who had been quietly listening to the trembling voice, sensed something ominous.
〈Huh, hmm… My… deer’s place… The deer’s antlers… are dirty… … ?>
“Uh, uh… Rasil.”
〈S, deer… deer nest… huh, huh pheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!〉 Indeed, the transcendent ordeal above was different in that it howled in its sleep and threw a tantrum.
“Huh?!”
The dense noise of the World Tree reminded me of Serin, who had unconsciously covered her ears.
‘ ah.’
And then I realized.
‘You just popped it.’
