There are 50 more episodes to watch… right?
A pickpocket and a processor. Their fight was like a fight between a whale and a shrimp.
An overwhelming gap.
The axe of the processor, Lee Jin-mu, was both dull and sharp.
From the way he handled it, you could tell that he had been using an axe for a long time.
It seems that he had decided on the weapon he would use and practiced with it before even climbing the tower.
On the other hand, although the pickpocket was a threat in his own way, he could not hide his clumsiness.
It must have been because they were living without any preparation and were called to the tower.
Still, getting this far means you survived the tutorial and growth stages.
‘Is the difference that big?’
It’s so suspicious that I wonder if they’re really on the same floor.
Pickpockets aren’t all that bad.
Considering that he was an ordinary person, he was very venomous and moved actively.
I don’t know if it’s intentional, but sometimes there are sharp attacks that follow.
Even though he was tired, he didn’t let go of his sword, as his strength supported him to some extent.
Going around in circles to find an opening was also tolerable.
‘In the sense that I put in effort.’
You’re already inferior in speed, stamina, and skill, but you move more than your opponent?
It’s no different from just cutting off my own flesh.
When you look down on someone, you have to risk everything to increase your chances of winning, but you go through a scouting battle and then fight.
You can never win.
If you recognize from the beginning that your opponent is strong, you should use a strategy that suits them.
“How long are you going to go around and around in circles? Are you going to pickpocket with that?”
“Why are you holding a longsword when you can’t even use a sword? Pick up a spear, man!”
“I’m going to make a bet on which wrist will be cut. Left or right. Anyone who wants to bet, gather around!”
“Here! I’ll bet on your left hand. 100 points!”
“Oh, I don’t know. Isn’t that your right hand? I’ll give you 200 points!”
The audience also didn’t care about the outcome.
Just enjoying the spectacle. Before I knew it, gambling was in full swing among the onlookers.
It’s a foregone conclusion that the processor will win.
“Khaak!”
“Try to struggle a little more.”
Lee Jin-moo’s axe blade swiped the pickpocket’s shoulder.
A shallow but long cut. Blood drips down.
The most exciting entertainment is a bloody duel.
“Ohhhhh!”
“Oh, shit. This is so exciting. Make it hot!”
Every time people shout and cheer, the pickpocket’s body gets more and more bruised.
A show put on for one’s own glory and power.
Half-joking, half-malicious shenanigans and surprise attacks.
And yet, there is a viciousness to the point of leaving gaps in the other party to prevent them from giving up.
There is some data accumulated about the processing officer of the multi-star guild, Lee Jin-moo.
‘I don’t think I need to look any further.’
I had no expectations that I would be able to see real skill.
If it was a life-or-death battle against an opponent, he wouldn’t have acted like that.
That showdown was nothing more or less than entertainment.
I turned around.
“I’ll pass. Please step aside.”
“Hey, there’s a seat available.”
“This is so sweet.”
I went to the market to avoid the crowd of people that had gathered there before I knew it.
There were a lot of people gathering but no one leaving, so it was easy to get out.
It wasn’t just walking.
I was thinking about the movements of the processor I saw a little while ago.
I know that what I just saw isn’t Lee Jin-moo’s full power. Still, I can get a rough idea.
‘Although it’s overshadowed by showmanship, the fundamentals are solid. He likes to use fakes, and when dealing with pickpockets, he uses a lot of flashy moves, but when fighting in real life, he’ll mainly aim for counters.’
I ran a simulation in my head.
There was no difference in weight class. The weapons we used were completely different, but Nana and that guy were on a similar level.
Perhaps to support the heavy axe? The axe handle was quite long.
In normal cases, the difference in reach wouldn’t be that big, but irregularly, the bastard’s attacks can penetrate deep.
‘As much as the power is there, the attack may come from an abnormal orbit.’
Fighting a Hunter shouldn’t be based on what it was like when you were a normal person.
Because your physical abilities have been enhanced to the point where you can perform movements that would be impossible in common sense.
It’s only a little weak because it’s only on the 10th floor.
I tried fighting Lee Jin-moo without using any skills.
“It’ll be easier than I thought.”
“Ggg …
I thought I could break it easily.

The guy made a lot of exaggerated movements to get the attention of the onlookers.
Inefficient but flashy moves.
It was not something one should do in the face of an enemy who was threatening one’s life.
In real life, the degree is different, but well, habits are not something that can be changed that easily.
‘I guess we can’t reduce that part even to see the effect of the power.’
The better the audience reaction, the more abilities you can increase.
Conversely, if he gets pushed back, a similar situation will arise.
The character of the handler is not important to the audience.
As long as I can stimulate and excite them, that’s enough.
It didn’t matter who got hurt.
That is, even if the picture shows that he is being attacked and I am being overwhelmed, the guy gets a buff.
Either way, it’s a win-win situation.
Even so, it wasn’t without its flaws.
“It’s okay if there are no people.”
The method of destruction was simple: just make the place where his power is useless.
Surprise, distraction, distraction. There were many methods.
If even these things don’t work.
“That method will work.”
“Hey. Geez.”
Deokchun, who read my thoughts, thought for a moment and then nodded.
Let’s put the processor aside for a moment. I wasn’t planning on crashing into it until I got everything I wanted from the 10th floor anyway.
For now, let’s focus on our original purpose.
At that moment, there was a commotion and the market was deserted, so I was able to walk around the streets and look at the goods more comfortably.
Check to see if anything looks special. Pay attention to see if any power or luck stats are triggered.
First of all, I plan to wander around the commercial district.
I was also curious about what items the NPCs were selling.
-Daughter
“Come on in!”
The NPC sitting at the counter greeted me warmly.
A blue flame burning from the chest.
It’s a mysterious phenomenon every time I see it.
I looked at the owner’s face, thinking it would be rude to just stare.
“I’d like to see some weapons.”
“What kind of weapon is it? A sword? An axe? A spear? Just say the word.”
“I’m looking for something, so I’ll just take a look around.”
“Yes, yes. Take it easy.”
You can’t ask if there are any weapons that have blatantly hidden options.
I walked slowly and examined the weapons, armor, and miscellaneous items.
‘It’s ambiguous.’
I finally found it.
[Sturdy Dagger (F)]
-A solid dagger, but nothing special.
This is the information that is generally visible.
But the information revealed through the power.
[Sturdy Dagger (F)]
-If you drink the blood of your master, you may be subject to the curse of the blood monster.
-Blood Absorbed (0/100)
– It recognizes the blood it drinks first as the owner.
-However, the curse only applies to the owner.
It was said that if the conditions were met, it could become a cursed dagger.
The curse of blood destruction.
It is a powerful curse that causes not only bones and flesh, but even blood itself to rot.
If we look at the grades, wouldn’t A just be able to eat and go in?
The only problem is that it only applies to the owner.
‘It’s just a cursed object.’
Where should I use this?
Should I use it as a gift to give to someone I don’t like?
I looked into the possibility that the person receiving the gift would get their hand cut and that this would lead to the manifestation of the curse, but there was still no answer.
Is that because it’s an F-class?
I thought about it for a moment.
“How much is this?”
“I’ll give you 200 points.”
“Please calculate it for me.”
[Points will be deducted.]
I bought it after seeing that it wasn’t that expensive.
First of all, because it has special functions.
I put the dagger in my treasure pouch and went out.
So for three hours, I walked around the shopping district from east to west, looking at things.
The result was disappointing, because that was all I got at first.
“Well, there can’t be that many items with hidden options.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
If you think about it, the only item I have that has hidden options is the yellow body of the Feline.
That’s all for the store, and from now on.
“There is no choice but to target street vendors.”
“Huh?”
It’s the same with items sold by NPCs, but it might also be among the items sold by hunters.
Deokchun cries and asks if he’s going to wander around again.
It looks like he’s feeling suffocated from being stuck inside the armor.
I also have a strange feeling because there’s something soft inside, but what can I do?
As the saying goes, opportunities are something you create yourself.
It was right to take advantage of what was worthwhile, even if it meant selling one’s feet.
But I still feel sorry towards Deokchun.
“When you see a street vendor, let’s buy some snacks together. When I came here earlier, I saw that the smell of chicken skewers was no joke. What do you think?”
“Geeeek! Gee!”
The guy was already drooling. I put my hand inside his armor, scratched his head, and walked away.
* * *
“Pick, pick. I’ll get rid of the junk.”
“Do you need something that isn’t on sale in the store? Come take a look.”
“Selling handmade daily necessities. These are not sold in stores. We also have toothbrushes!”
Of course, the quality itself is lower than the items sold by NPCs, but their unique ideas shine.
Things like a toothbrush made from monster hair and wood, or a filial piety hand made from processed bones.
There’s also a razor. I don’t know how they make it, but they also sell shaving cream.
Things that can be made and sold because they come from outside.
I also bought a few toothbrushes. I used to chew on the end of a tree branch and use it as a toothbrush… … .
I also saw some Korean foods that I missed.
It looks like the people who have lived on the 10th floor for a long time have been making kimchi.
I couldn’t help but stop by the kimchi stew boiling in the pot.
The timing is crazy. You absolutely have to eat that.
In the end, all I got from going around the street stalls was a few daily necessities and a basket full of food.
There were no notable results.
The sun began to set in the safe zone, making day and night clear.
It’s time to go back to the accommodation.
Aside from being tired, I couldn’t look around anymore because the hunters who had been setting up stalls had closed up shop.
But I still feel sorry.
“Let’s look at one last thing.”
“Eugegegegege.”
Deokchun was annoyed, but he quickly became quiet when I put a walnut cookie in his mouth.
What do you think, you punk? Once you taste it, you won’t be able to come to your senses, right?
If you go into the accommodation and eat kimchi stew, you will faint.
It’s not something you can feed to frogs, but Deokchun is a spirit, so it doesn’t matter.
Dreaming of Koreanizing Deokchun’s taste without knowing it, I approached a street vendor who was cleaning up.
“Are you still in business?”
“Oh? Yes. Let’s take a look.”
A man in his 30s wearing a robe.
His beard is haphazardly grown, and his fingertips are dirty as if something had gotten on them.
What he was selling was.
“Potion?”
“Yes. Because I have the power of alchemy. Ah, it’s hard to climb the tower. The skills I’ve acquired are far from combat-related. If I just keep going, I’ll end up a bottom-tier hunter. I changed my path a bit.”
He sat on a crudely made wooden box and opened his mouth.
He looked like a mountain man, but his voice was thin and he talked a lot.
Were you in sales before you got into the top, or were you a talker?
He keeps talking even though he’s not really interested.
“While I’m at it, I’m going to raise my potion making skills in the safe zone. I can work in the research lab or guild workshop when I go out. It’s better to work inside than to hunt. Isn’t white the best?”
“okay.”
“Here, I sell cheaply and save up points to buy materials. From the bottom to the top. A self-made potion maker! Hehe! I’m sure a large guild that recognizes my abilities will send me a love call.”
I roughly agreed with what he said and examined the potions one by one.
The grade wasn’t that good because it was self-produced.
The effect isn’t that great either.
[Practice Potion (F)]
-Treats minor injuries.
[Ambiguous Antidote (F)]
-Can it be detoxified?
There were also some items that were questionable in terms of whether they could even be used.
If you buy it cheaply, you might be able to use it somehow, but it’s not something you would eat in a life-or-death battle.
Of course, there were no special hidden options.
I’m sorry, but as that guy said, there’s no way a large guild will send you a love call.
“Wow. I enjoyed it.”
There is nothing more to see.
I slightly raised my bent body.
[Luck stat reacts.]
A light flickered from the wooden box he was sitting on.
