Episode 67 I Can’t Stand It When You Touch My Person
I picked up the bald man.
As he said, he lost his mind because he overdid it.
In fact, I think I lost my mind and fought towards the end.
How much combat and training do you have to go through to become capable of fighting unconsciously?
It was hard to even guess, but thanks to this I know one thing.
‘It’s not a coincidence that the bald man came up.’
Your words and actions may seem a little lacking, but your body doesn’t lie.
He was a guy who was ready to climb to the top.
If I didn’t have S-class powers, I would have fallen behind Bald Man.
“Then what kind of monsters are those who are on par with this guy?”
Licky and Nyangpun. I don’t know what their identities are, but I think they have something incredible.
When I think about it this way, all the members are extraordinary.
The same goes for the guy named Lee Jun-seok who contacted me.
Oh Ji-hyeok, who I somehow became acquainted with, is definitely an outstanding talent.
If things go positively, it will be a great help.
We’ll have to watch Oh Ji-hyeok and Lee Jun-seok a bit more, but we have to protect Bald Man, Lick Jjak, and Nyang-pun.
At least so that I can stand on the same level as others.
Can’t we make them run away like criminals even in a safe zone?
I looked for a solution and found my own way.
I can’t do it alone, I need help.
Naturally, the target of help is.
“Kilderless! I saved the bald man. He’s not in good condition.”
Two guys with immense power on the 10th floor.
Killdereth and Lilka.
“Ly down here.”
There was a bed prepared on one side of the room, as if they had known I was coming.
There was also something that appeared to be medical equipment, although its identity was unknown.
Killdereth, who had accepted the bald man, gently laid him down on the bed, fed him a potion, and connected the treatment equipment.
“You overdid it. If it had been just a little bit more severe, you would have died. You have no body or magical power left.”
“Will it be okay?”
I asked cautiously.
“Okay. Anyway, if you just hold on to your breath, you’ll get better in the safe zone. It just takes a long time. I’m thinking of going a little faster.”
-Woooooooooo
Under Killereth’s manipulation, the healing machine began to operate.
The pale balding man’s complexion noticeably improves.
“If you leave it alone for a day or so, it’ll be fine. Until then, just let it sleep well.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Yes. That’s it. You completed the quest safely. I’ll give you the elixir I mentioned as a reward.”
Killdereth took a small box out of his bosom, but I waved it away.
English: English: Good. I want one too.
But for now, I plan to put my greed aside for a moment.
“Kildereth, if possible, I would like to change the compensation.”
“Hmm?”
Killdereth wiggled his eyebrows, asking what he was talking about.
Of course, quest rewards are not something you can choose to get.
You just have to take what you’ve been given.
The same applies even if it is a quest given directly by an NPC, as is the case now.
NPCs are not objects of bargaining in the first place.
Behavior that may be met with resentment depending on the situation.
“Come and see.”
However, the only difference between me and other people is that my affinity with NPCs increased through Lilka’s quest.
Killdereth had shown me kindness before.
That there is a certain degree of favorability.
“Before that, Lilka, I have a question for you.”
“Me? What?”
Lilka, who was sneaking up on Deokchun and thinking about how to get him out, blinks.
“What exactly does it mean when you say that your affinity with NPCs has increased? And that’s with the vast majority of NPCs.”
“It’s a kind of trust that has been created! Haha. How can so many NPCs be like that? I’m a street kid. I’m the idol of the NPC world!”
Lilka said confidently, her hands on her hips.
Killdereth wiped his face as if he had seen something unsightly.
“This guy, Lilka, is a merchant, so he often meets NPCs on each floor. He’s the one who can move freely without any system restrictions, so we rely on him a lot.”
Meet NPCs on each floor.
I thought it might be because he was a merchant, but is it really true that he can move around to different floors?
If you think about it, although Lilka mostly stayed on the 10th floor, she wasn’t always visible.
At that time, when he was not seen, he seemed to have gone somewhere else and worked as a merchant.
“Ah. That’s right. You have to get the next quest! You’re not going to do it just once and then quit, are you? You’re going to have to do it anyway. Hehe. The customers are waiting, so do your best.”
Lilka pricks up her ears as if she suddenly remembered something.

A quest window appears at the same time.
[Lilka’s Request – Forced Quest (2)]
-You have successfully completed Lilka’s request (1) and gained her trust.
-She’s always busy. Numerous NPCs are waiting for Lilka’s visit. And they’re also waiting for the items she’s requested!
-Do you know? If I help Lilka, something good will happen?
-Tears of the Yeti (0/30)
-Crown of the Eye Spirit (0/1)
-You can now complete quests from other NPCs since you have gained their trust.
-Reward: Odelto’s Ring (B), NPCs’ attention.
I just looked at the quest.
As expected, it’s an incredibly evil quest.
The Yeti is a monster that appears on the 24th floor, and I don’t even know where the Snow Spirit is.
“Don’t worry about the quest. I’ve finished my business on the 10th floor, so I’ll be going back and forth to the safe zone on the 20th floor. I’ll be able to find it soon. Please take care of me this time too!”
“Uh, um. Okay.”
I nodded my head hesitantly.
I can never get used to that guy’s shamelessness and insanity, no matter how often I see him.
Well, that’s true.
Trust has been created. Well, it’s more strange that trust is not created when someone who climbed up to the 10th floor brought back the scales of the Hwagapryong.
“Back to the main topic, I think you’ll feel better if you think we have gained trust. If our relationship continues, we could become friends.”
“That’s right. We’re not bad people either! These days, the people who climb the tower treat us like we’re robots.”
Killdereth and Lilka add their remarks.
I think I know what it roughly means.
Because it means that you become a person who can ask for favors depending on each other’s position and relationship.
A store NPC might give you a discount, or a specific NPC might give you a quest that they don’t give to others.
“Kildereth, in exchange for giving up the reward, may I ask you a favor?”
I looked at the balding man lying on the bed for a moment.
He’s a jerk, but you can’t hate him.
“This guy is one of them, but my friends will be coming up to the 10th floor soon. Lick the crown, Meow Meow Punch. Have you heard of them?”
“Well, we have ears too. But those guys are your friends… … .”
“Yes. I am Petit Gongdu.”
I confessed honestly. Something I couldn’t tell anyone else.
Could I say NPC? Originally, I wasn’t going to say anything.
This was a sign of trust on my part, and furthermore, a desperate attempt by someone to help me.
Because you revealed what you wanted to hide.
Killdereth slightly raised the corners of his mouth as if he realized the meaning.
“Ugh. Your tastes are weird. Are you a pervert?”
Lilka That guy doesn’t seem to have any thoughts.
If I just hit you once, your wish would be over.
Since you are in a position to ask for something now, you should stay still.
“… I have some circumstances. I don’t want my identity to be revealed.”
“I guess it’s because of those guys. I understand.”
Killdereth waved his hand, gesturing in the direction where the commotion had just occurred.
Since they know that a large guild is attacking the bald man, they seem to have guessed the general situation.
“Would you help my friends to operate in the safe zone? You too, Lilka. I will definitely complete all the quests you give me, no matter what happens. If you want, I can even write a contract.”
I got to the point.
Once you’ve reached the top, the climb continues.
That we can’t stay on the 10th floor forever and protect the members.
The same goes for the upper floors. I’m in the lead now, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll be in the future.
This is because you are not simply going up by fulfilling the clear conditions, but rather by going up while finding hidden pieces hidden on each floor.
At least until the members can protect themselves, they need the help of NPCs.
“Ooh. Okay! No need for a contract, just some other conditions.”
As expected of a merchant, this is what happens. Lilka set a condition.
What could it be? Is it to reduce the quest rewards? Or is it to send me on a personal errand?
I waited for her to speak, a little nervously.
“Let Deokchun touch me every time we come to the safe zone!”
“Huh? What the heck!”
Deokchun is freaking out. He sticks to me like a piece of gum. He seems to really hate it.
“Deokchun, please help me. Okay? Help me.”
“Eughhhhh.”
He shakes his head from side to side.
I can’t help it. I didn’t mean to do it this way.
“A special lunch box once every two days. I’ll give you one ticket to choose the menu. Buy whatever you want. No limit on the amount.”
I opened the store window and opened the food category.
All kinds of food and ingredients are listed in a row.
The special lunch boxes are great, but they are also full of great food.
As the scroll went down, Deokchun’s eyes moved along with it.
“How is it? Call?”
“Ugh. Ugh.”
Deokchun, who had hesitated for a while, nodded.
As expected, you’re not a carnivore, you spirit.
I don’t know what to do with myself when I see someone with a heart like Hahae.
I scratched Deokchun’s head.
That’s it for Lilka. All that’s left is Killerless.
“Kuuuuu! This is the first time I’ve seen something like this while being an NPC. Not bad. Just like that guy.”
He shakes his head and laughs.
I don’t know who that guy is, but it’s a positive response.
“I already hated seeing the big guild guys set up shop, so this is good. I guess I should step up now. I’ll help you out, especially this guy.”
Killdereth pointed to the bald man.
The expression is subtle.
“I’ll take responsibility for this guy.”
“Huh? You?”
Lilka glared, but Killdereth just shrugged.
“Oh, and I’ll keep it a secret that you’re Petit Gongdue.”
“Thank you. Lilka, you too, in secret… … .”
“Don’t worry, I might not be that tactful.”
I took one last look at the bald man, said goodbye to Killereth and Lilka, and left the room.
“for a moment.”
Killdereth, who called me like that.
He threw something and I reflexively took it.
[Giant’s Heart Essence (B)]
-A sword created by extracting the heart of a giant.
-It has the strength and defense unique to giants.
-How about becoming a great human sandbag?
“What is this?”
“It’s a gift. Go up. Until there’s nowhere left to go.”
Before he could say anything, Killdereth snapped his fingers and the door closed automatically.
I quietly looked at the B-class elixir and spoke through the door.
“Thank you, Killdereth.”
I never thought I would feel this way towards a person, let alone an NPC.
I can’t remember the last time I received an unmerited favor.
I walked down the hallway, scratching my head.
I leave the rest up to them.
And I.
“I have to go and fiddle with those processor brats one more time.”
If I had any coins left, I would have survived by now.
I’m such a petty person that I feel satisfied only when I get revenge on those who mess with me, and I can only sleep soundly when I make sure that those who mess with me can never do it again.
In a word.
“You messed with the wrong person.”
* * *
The moment when Jo Hyun-soo kills the revived Lee Jin-moo and Park Se-hyeok and expels them out of the tower.
Killdereth and Lilka, who remained in the arena, were talking with Talmalman next to them.
“You seem a little strange?”
Lilka, resting her chin on the bed, looked at Killdereth.
Killdereth knew what it meant, but pretended not to know and looked away.
Lilka pokes him in the ribs, not liking his reaction.
“Would you like to speak? The great Killerless. Doing a favor to a kid who just broke through the 10th floor. And even treating a stranger? What are you planning?”
“Nothing much. I just saved the successor. If your limbs are intact, you can follow the training.”
“Aha! Right, Huh? Successor!?”
Lilka, who had been nodding, suddenly stood up from her seat.
Lilka grabbed Killdereth by the collar and shook him.
“Are you crazy? Don’t you know that you can only choose your successor once? What if you’re a weirdo? What if you’re an idiot? How could you pick a successor so suddenly!”
“I’ve already decided. I’ve injected some of my power into you along with the treatment.”
Killdereth spoke while looking at the treatment machine attached to the bald man’s body, and Lilka sat down, hitting her forehead, speechless.
“Ah. My head hurts. I don’t know what I’m thinking about, whether it was before or now.”
Killdereth, who was grinning, took out an ice cream and handed it to me.
Lilka accepts it quickly. She still has a grumpy expression.
“Petit Gongdura. Strangely, when I see that guy, I think of him. That’s why you gave him the quest. I bet you’ll get the Frost Flame Sword.”
“No!”
“100 million!”
Lilka raised her eyebrows after kicking Killdereth in the side.
Killdereth trembles, wrapping his arms around his sides.
Lilka sticks out her tongue, saying, “What a mess.”
Lilka, who had sat back down for a moment, wrinkled her nose.
I overreacted in an attempt to hide my feelings.
‘it’s annoying.’
Ah, Lilka was chewing on her ice cream.
Thinking of that guy I can’t see now.
