Episode 10: The Fairy’s Strategy
I looked at the notification window.
Up to the 6th floor, rewards related to the system are given.
Even if we ignore the strategy, it must be true since numerous hunters have testified to it.
On the second floor, I also received a community reward.
[3rd floor clear reward]
[Status is opened.]
-The harder you work, the higher your stats will be, right?
also.
The rewards did not disappoint.
Can I finally know my objective level?
Stats are important.
Because you can see my overall abilities.
Not only that. Knowing this objective information will also make it easier to fit equipment later.
“Because items that are given a grade have requirements.”
How much strength, how much agility. Something like that.
If you buy equipment that doesn’t match your level, you won’t be able to use it.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s an item of a lower grade.”
Not all items have conditions.
I thought back to the magazine I had been reading before being invited up to the top.
Hunter Job. I used to read it a lot because it had a lot of detailed information and magazine knowledge.
“I think it’s said that the conditions start to change starting from B-class equipment. It’s easier to assume that AA-class equipment is definitely present.”
I heard that there are cases where conditions are attached to equipment of lower grades, but not many.
Likewise, there was no requirement to wear items of a higher grade.
Wouldn’t it be too complicated if each and every one had its own conditions of use?
It’s not like people know all the items.
This means that you cannot increase stats according to the item in advance.
Even now, new items are continuously being discovered.
Despite this, many hunters preferred conditional equipment.
“Generally, conditional items are more powerful.”
That’s why hunters gradually grow by adopting one concept.
After all, you get stronger faster by focusing on one stat rather than worrying about multiple stats.
Wearable items will also be oriented towards that area.
Interestingly, this system allowed for a certain degree of equity for the lower classes.
There is a limit to the guild’s support. Even if you give them something good, if their stats don’t match, they won’t be of any use.
But, in a position where you can’t receive support, you have to give up and go in.
“There’s no need to worry anymore.”
Competition is only important between guilds.
Whether others get ahead or not, I just need to keep moving forward at my own pace.
Anyway, the higher you go, the more your own ability becomes important than support.
There’s no reason to worry about high-end equipment now.
Not only have I not yet cleared the tutorial, I don’t even have any equipment that can be called an item.
Still, I’m curious.
“Status.”
I called out the status with a slightly expectant voice.
[Cho Hyun-soo (Maximum target floor – 2nd floor)]
-Strength 5
– Agility 7
– Stamina 6
– Horsepower 5
I was able to see some fairly brief statuses.
Just an ordinary person who works out a little. That’s the feeling.
I was a fool to expect that.
I feel a little bit let down.
“Still, it’s a bit above average.”
Because the sum of the strengths and weaknesses is 18.
The average tutorial section is 15.
It would be higher if you only count those who belong to large guilds, but the tower does not discriminate.
It means that there are people who have less physical ability than me.
If we were to grade people who actually passed the tutorial, it would be different.
Don’t be too upset. Your stats will grow anyway.
Because I can go up by rolling my body, and I can also go up through other equipment, titles, quests, etc.
Even if it’s Himminche, that’s okay.
There was one thing that stood out.
“It has 5 magic power?”
I was inwardly amazed.
I heard that most of them are 1. At most, they don’t exceed 3.
Magic is something you are born with.

Strength and stamina can be felt and developed even before climbing the tower, but magic power can only be gained by entering the tower.
Feeling and utilizing something that did not exist before is like telling a person to flap their wings and fly in the sky.
Even if you think about it simply, it was a difficult task, and that is why it falls thoroughly into the category of talent.
“Did I have that kind of talent?”
I’m not sure.
Because it is not clear what standard is used to measure horsepower.
If there’s one thing that’s certain.
“It means that you have a definite strength that others don’t have.”
It may be useless now since you don’t have the skills, but it will be different later.
Unlike other stats, magic power is not something you can raise just because you want to.
It must be raised unconditionally through items.
Of course, magic-related items are ridiculously expensive.
Of all the people currently going through the tutorial, I probably have the highest magic stat.
Perhaps even more than all the hunters below the 10th floor.
“That’s that.”
After clearing my status, I moved into a hallway filled with traps of all kinds.
You need to pick up the bolts that fell on the floor and the backpack that was left at the entrance.
You should also bring a knife and a dagger.
I did everything I could to survive, but it all ended up in chaos.
Picking up things here and there took a while.
Something I had forgotten came to mind.
“Oh, let’s take the glowstone too.”
Honestly, I was jealous.
That’s secretly expensive. I’m saying it’s okay to sell it or use it myself.
It’s unfair to be treated like a dog, so shouldn’t you get something out of it?
It’s a shame there’s no ladder though.
“If you don’t have it, just make it.”
I made a ladder using the spear that was stuck in the spear trap and the ballista that flew in at the very end.
Maybe it was because the tool had stopped working. Surprisingly, it wasn’t difficult to pull out the blade.
All you have to do is bundle up the arrows that are scattered all around the footsteps and make a ball.
It’s a good thing I have a rope in my backpack.
-Cock! Cackle!
When I struck the glowstone with my dagger, the glow fell off.
Although some gravel got into my eyes, it was nothing compared to the joy of farming.
“There’s more than I thought. Hehe.”
I got a whopping 16 glowstones.
How much is all this?
They say that people live well if they save money.
Since this is a section where they’re trying to suck my life out, I have to pull out my gallbladder to maintain balance.
“I should take a couple of windows too.”
There is a crossbow for long-range weapons, a dagger for short-range weapons, but no medium-range weapons.
Use it sparingly and, when necessary, use it as a spear.
Arrows pass. Unfortunately, the crossbow I have is the one used by Kobolds, so it doesn’t fit.
Than that.
“Is there anything hidden here?”
I slowly looked through the traps I had been through.
Oh. There it is!
When I walked to the starting point on the 3rd floor.
I saw something shiny.
[Broken gear mechanism spring]
-If I have it, something good might happen?
Same description as the Cobalt’s claws collected on the second floor.
Nothing good has happened yet, but it can’t hurt to have it. It’s not something else, it’s just S-class power.
I packed a fist-sized mainspring in my backpack.
Maybe it’s because I cleared the 3rd floor. I feel more confident.
The confidence that we are moving forward, little by little but surely.
If you don’t stop, you’ll go further.
That’s all I can do.
“Break time.”
Let’s take a rest.
I opened the special lunch box and turned on the community.
It’s time to get back at the government and the big guilds that screwed me over.
“Please help out the kids who are having a hard time.”
Shh. The corners of his lips went up.
* * *
Top 30 floors. Residential area.
There was a man inside a building with a large tiger painted on it.
Choi Seong-mo. A person who climbed up to the 39th floor and fell right before the 40th floor.
There are no coins left now.
If you fail to climb this time, it means that you will have to leave the tower at the most on the 39th floor.
‘If it’s the 39th floor, it’s only a C-class. Even if I go back to the guild, I’ll miss out on a high position.’
Just one floor. If I had reached the 40th floor, I would have become a B-class hunter.
The building where Choi Seong-mo is located is owned by the Sangun Guild, which belongs to a large guild.
He was a rookie who had been raised with great effort by the Sangun Guild.
Although, contrary to expectations, the results are not as good.
“Phew.”
Choi Seong-mo, who was smoking a cigarette while shaking his legs, exhaled a long puff of smoke.
It’s already the fifth generation. I feel like my insides are burning with frustration.
Even if you only get a B-class, you won’t be as concerned about what others think. You can still become a team leader.
Even if I heard a few harsh words, I would have been able to live my guild life without any problems.
But what about C-class hunters?
They are no different from regular guild members.
It means that you have not lived up to the expectations that have been placed on you.
“The guild leader’s personality makes it impossible for him to stay still.”
Since they’ve poured in money, they’ll try to get the capital out somehow.
No. Maybe he was trying to kill me.
Choi Seong-mo was a rookie in the Sangun Guild. He knew information that he shouldn’t have known.
“It wasn’t a contract at that time.”
When I didn’t know what to do, I signed the contract after hearing just one word from the guild leader.
AA-rank hunter. The leader of the large guild, Sangun. If someone like that says, “You have potential,” you won’t believe it and just give in.
Even if you regret it, it’s already too late.
“Damn.”
To be honest, I felt wronged.
The tower is a place where you never know what will happen.
The guild leader would know best that this isn’t a place you can get through with just a little bit of training in advance.
Even so, there is no one to complain about it.
I would feel more comfortable if I were a regular guild member.
-Kwaang
“Brother! Have you seen the community?”
While I was smoking a cigarette, the door opened roughly and a man came in.
Kim Seong-jae, a guild member of Sangun who cleared up to the 31st floor.
At the same time, he was a lower-ranking rider who climbed the tower later than Choi Seong-mo.
“Community?”
Choi Seong-mo frowns as he puts out his cigarette.
I’m already upset, so what nonsense are you talking about?
“There’s a channel open to those kids in the tutorial section. Another troublemaker showed up.”
Choi Seong-mo wiggles his eyebrows at his words.
What could possibly happen in an already painful situation?
Choi Seong-mo opened the community with a small sigh.
If it’s a tutorial section, channels below the 10th floor.
“hmm?”
Choi Seong-mo frowned.
When I entered the channel, a rather flashy title caught my eye.
A post that has so many views that it even has a notice attached.
The title is.
<@#$!!♡Tutorial 3rd floor strategy@@ Must read for beginners!!!!!!!♡!!$#@>
It was something that couldn’t be explained in words.
what’s this.
Choi Seong-mo, who had closed his eyes tightly in shock, clicks on the article.
-Hello. This is Petit Gongdu!
Today we will learn about the 3rd floor strategy.
This must be cool news for those of you who are suffering from hot weather, right?
Of course I’m not hot!
Petit Gongdu doesn’t sweat or anything. (wink)
.
.
.
Gulp. Choi Seong-mo blinked as he read the text.
What did you see?
It felt like my brain stopped for a moment.
“Did you come running here to show me this?”
Seongmo Choi, who had been blankly staring at the community for a moment, glared at his junior.
-Saaaaah!
“Ugh!”
The junior couldn’t help but freeze at the sharp stab of murderous intent.
The gap between the 31st and 39th floors was that big.
The junior, who had barely come to his senses, swallowed and continued speaking.
“Kye, keep reading. If you see a guy like this, be sure to tell me.”
Choi Seong-mo, who was glaring at his junior once more, continued reading the text.
Focus. Until the end.
The face that was initially stained with irritation gradually became stiff.
When I read the very last line, the corners of my mouth twisted.
.
.
.
You got it? Floor blade-saw blade-wall blade-sledgehammer-arrow-ceiling-ballista.
This is the first half.
Then flames – tunnel – random blade – black tile – back of head spear.
This is the second half. Aren’t there too many traps?
What should I do!
If you’re stupid, just memorize it!
Don’t trust other strategies.
Oops! I spilled the oppression.
Well then, I’m off!
Petit Gongdu is a fairy, so she has to sleep. Poof!
Kkukkuk.
Choi Sung-mo, with his fist clenched, turned off the community.
‘What kind of kid is he?’
What kind of swollen liver guy did this?
I don’t know.
But one thing was clear.
“Tongue, bro. What should I do?”
“What the hell! Let the kids go!”
If I don’t handle this, even if I become a B-class hunter, my life will be lost.
Because managing the 6th floor was the responsibility of the Sangun Guild.
