Episode 693, Floor 97
The atmosphere on the 96th floor, which had been excited by various events and incidents, has become much calmer.
After all, the purpose of the safe zone was to prepare for going to the next floor.
The important thing here is to specify the accommodation.
Didn’t you say Choco Choco too?
They say that from the 97th floor onwards it’s like hell.
If you fall into the lawless zone when resurrecting on the 96th floor, you will be in trouble.
All climbers gathered here must obtain permanent residency and sign a contract for lodging.
“Does it make sense that the inn itself is lacking?”
“I guess not many people come up to the 96th floor.”
Taejun grumbles while twirling his gun.
Peace Land is climber-friendly.
That’s why there were people who voluntarily gave up their permanent residency.
The same goes for Tekid, the leader of Peace Land.
Since the leader set an example himself, those who followed him also created a small village near the safe zone.
The problem is that there is no place that can be used as accommodation.
“What if I register another NPC’s house?”
Before, I used Lilka’s studio or villa as a place to stay.
“It’s a little different here. We have permanent residency, but we don’t own buildings or anything like that.”
You can think of it as a kind of permanent rental.
The NPCs didn’t come first, the buildings came first.
It feels like each person has chosen a job and building based on their abilities.
In other words, only inns could be officially registered.
“Stop mumbling and let’s get moving. I’m sick of it too.”
“Whew. Okay. Let’s go, let’s go.”
Of the climbers who have now climbed up, 28 have not obtained permanent residency.
The inn is so small that it can’t accommodate many people.
Considering the additional people who will come in the future, we need to secure more facilities.
At least four of the five safe zones must be left empty.
It wasn’t just me who moved, but the members and others also dispersed to other safe zones.
Since the NPCs also went, how could things not go well?
You can tell just by looking at the kids talking.
[Licks the crown]: Hey hey. This is the end.
[Meow Punch]: Ophelia has also completed negotiations.
[Nimary Baldness]: I can negotiate well too, so why won’t you take me with you!

[Licks the top of the head]: No, no. You’re not that great. Sit down! Sit down! Wait! Hands!
[Nimary Baldness]: Hands!
[Licks the crown of the head]: That’s right!
[Petit Gongdu]: What are they doing?
[Meow Punch]: I lost the bet with the bald man, so I have to give him my hand for a week if he asks me to do it!
[Petit Gongdu]: A tamed bald man! This is yours.
I’m sure they’ll be able to discuss it well.
Two places are finished, so I just have to do well.
“Hey! What are you doing? Come quickly!”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
I ended the community I was secretly doing behind Taejun and followed him.
The place we found was the 5th safe zone.
A place made up of dependent villages surrounding the military and safe zone.
“Big Mountain.”
It was a place that had a name that roughly meant a big mountain.
Actually, I had no intention of coming here.
Taejun also said that in fact this place was no different from a warlord.
Originally I was going to go to the first safe zone.
“Those crazy lawbreakers. If it weren’t for those guys, I’d be having a good time.”
The safe zone that had been designated as a candidate site was raided by outlaws.
Ultimately, they succeeded in driving out the outlaws.
‘I didn’t know the inn would collapse.’
Several facilities were destroyed during the fighting.
Fixing it itself is not a problem, but it needs to be approved by the system.
It looks like the process will take some time.
They say it’ll all be done in about a month.
‘A month is too long.’
Didn’t Lee Jun-seok say that too?
The situation outside is not good.
If it took time to climb, I couldn’t just spend a month waiting.
I had no choice but to come here.
“Wow. The atmosphere is tense.”

“It’s even more so after the first safe zone was breached.”
“I don’t know if I can mix these words properly.”
He took out the letter in his arms.
Advertisements
A statement written by Tekid expressing support for himself and the NPCs.
Plus, his son brought Taejun with him.
I said I prepared for it, but I don’t know if they’ll accept it.
This guy Taejun also worked as an outlaw at one point.
The reason Big Mountain became a warlord was because of outlaws, so you’ll have to check the details yourself.
then.
I closed my clothes and headed toward the front door.
“Who is it?”
“I came as an envoy from Peace Land. This is Teijun. He is Mr. Tekid’s son.”
“Peace Land?”
The guard looks at me and Taejun with suspicious eyes.
“Will this prove my identity?”
Taejun hands over a ring.
One of the rings that Tekid had.
Representatives from each safe zone have their own connections.
It was enough to get to know each other.
“Come in.”
We passed through the dependent village, following the guard who had just finished checking.
Buildings that are completely devoid of aesthetic sense, but are practical.
It seemed like he was living a relatively smooth life, perhaps because he was protected by the military.
Even outlaws won’t touch this place.
As expected, a strong force was needed to achieve peace.
“There isn’t much difference inside.”
“Is this the current situation?”
“It looks like they’ve built an additional wall.”
The safe zone wasn’t much different from Peace Land.
The walls are bigger and taller?
You can also see weapons like ballistas, but those are only useful against monsters.
Those are the real ones.
“It’s a defense system.”
It is equipped with a magical defense system, including automatic turrets.
Since you’re a warlord, I thought you’d just be ignorant and carry a sword and shield.
“The lord here is a wizard. A battle wizard.”
While I was getting slightly interested, Taejun came up to me and whispered.
“And the personality is dirty.”
Advertisements
“hmm?”
“You’re a bankrupt person. That’s why I didn’t want to come here.”
If Taejun, who has a flawed personality, can say something like that, then it must be something.
It’s surprising that such a person is playing the role of a lord.
“How do you not know that?”
“I came here once to buy some stuff. I think I said something like, ‘Where the hell is that outlaw kid hanging around?’”
Ow.
It’s a similar situation.
But still, isn’t it too much to just slap someone in the face?
This guy has such a bad temper that he probably pulled out his gun right away.
“He was so quick-witted and had an incredible sense of when it came to stealing things.”
“Aha. You robbed the lord’s belongings? The lord who is a wizard?”
“I thought you were a little dull. You were fat!”
It was your fault, you idiot.
“I think you could take a little more.”
“No, that lady hit me?”
“Yeah. Did you feel wronged by being beaten by that fat lady?”
Ouch.
Taejun stiffens at the sudden presence of someone.
I had a rough idea because I felt the magic power surge.
‘This kind of thing is more fun when you watch it from the side.’
So I pretended not to know.
“Ha, haha. Hello.”
A guy who naturally uses honorifics.
I took a step back and looked at the person who had revealed himself.
Just an ordinary-looking woman.
If there’s anything unusual.
‘Is that a staff member?’
The staff, which was as long as his body, was made of metal and had a protruding end.
What is that staff? It’s a mace.
His thick arms exude presence with his exposed sleeves.
Wow. Look at the veins.
I thought I was in good shape, but my bone structure is different.
A thick body overall, not just the arms.
‘That’s not fat, that’s muscle.’
Advertisements
Taejun, I knew you weren’t afraid, but why would you mess with someone like that?
I think he’s really great, but now he has a purpose.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Evil Eye.”
“Hello, I am Ponya, the manager of Big Mountain.”
“I came here to secure a mountaineer’s permanent residency and use the inn.”
Cook. He poked Taejun in the side.
“This is a letter from my father.”
“I know there’s been a lot going on lately.”
She nodded as she looked over the letter, leaning on the staff member’s shoulder.
“I get what you mean. Yes, the safety zone is for climbers.”
Does that mean?
“But it’s not like we ended up like this without the influence of climbers. Like the people right above.”
At first I thought he was talking about Fabio, but he wasn’t.
If you say above.
“Smile cap.”
“Yes. He stirred it up once. He’s the kind of person who sees NPCs as real NPCs. Hmm. At least that’s what happened back then.”
I don’t know the full details, but it looks like that guy got into some trouble.
Strangely enough, there are some people in other safe zones who view climbers with hostility.
“It wouldn’t be hard to give up some of the permanent residency. Of course, that would mean that many people would have to leave, so we’d have to clean up the lawbreakers outside.”
“You’re telling me to go and punish them.”
“That’s true, but it’s not necessary this time.”
Ponya smiles and looks at me.
“I don’t want to be calculating even towards Lilka’s friends.”
My mouth opened at the unexpected name.
“You’re just around the corner.”
“Yaaaaaaap!”
As she said, in the distance, someone jumped from a building and ran towards her at incredible speed.
Perked ears and a bushy tail.
“Bad dreams!”
“Crash!”
The guy who just dropkicked me.
I thought my side was going to come out.
“Safety, come to the zone! Just! Go?!”
“Ouch! Why are you hitting me!”
“How can the so-called successor just walk away like that!”
Advertisements
It seems like he went up to the 95th floor without even talking to Pahiru.
There was nothing I could do at that time.
Because I had to keep pressuring him while he kept dying.
Is it because my fist is small? It feels like all my strength is concentrated in one place.
It was somewhat correct for the time being.
Because it would be a sad thing for Lilka.
Only after the strength drained from the slamming fist was I able to sit up.
“Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t help it back then.”
“Eeeeeee. So this is what our only successor looks like. Hey.”
He patted the head of the guy who was kicking the floor as if he was displeased.
Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time since I touched it. The grip feels good.
Ponya looks at the sight with a pleased expression.
“Since the hotel capacity is limited to 12 people, we will only reserve 12 permanent residency spaces.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“No problem. You can register tomorrow. Have a good time, you two.”
-Kuuuk.
“Eww! Why! Why me!”
“Taejun, let me talk to you for a moment. I’m also curious about Mr. Tekid’s current situation.”
“S-Save me! Evil Eye!”
Ponya grabs Taejun’s ear and pulls him away.
He was talking with a smile, but the veins on his forehead were visible, so it seemed like he had a bit of a bitter personality.
Naturally, I ignored Taejun.
“I’m glad I made it to the 96th floor.”
“Then I’m afraid I won’t be able to come up?”
“Haha. Who would be the successor and not be able to come up?”
A guy who confidently puts his hands on his hips and puffs out his chest.
Why are you proud?
Well, if you like it, then let him enjoy it.
“Lilka, I have a question.”
“What?”
I’m also thinking about doing some preparations before going up.
“The guy on the 99th floor. Did you catch him?”
There are those who have reached the 99th floor, including Lilka, Killdereth, and Alios.
In particular, Lilka has been through so much that she has been wandering around a world on the brink of destruction, holding onto pieces of chaos.
Although he gave me trash powers, it is also true that he helped me in many ways.
Advertisements
I was curious.
Not only Lilka, but also Killdereth and Peline have reached the 99th floor, so they must have met the King of Worshipers.
Did you win? That monster?
“Curious?”
“You can’t speak.”
Lilka nods at my words.
It means that there is information that cannot be disclosed yet.
Because it will be systematically blocked.
That’s right.
“Not now. There are things I need to know first.”
As before, the story will be told in a quest format.
-Tiring.
[Lilka’s Request (9) – Forced Quest]
-Lilka believes in her successor!
-There’s not much time left until we go up.
-For you, Lilka wants to make something good.
-Then I guess I need to get the ingredients?
oh.
Are you trying to make something for me?
As I was looking over the quest details, Lilka grabbed my arm.
“Are you going up tomorrow?”
“That’s right. The situation outside is not good.”
“Ouch. Okay.”
A somewhat gloomy expression.
I snickered and lightly gave the guy a pat on the back.
“evil!”
“I have some time until tomorrow, so let’s play together.”
“Ooooh! Good!”
It’s okay to take a break before going to hell, right?
So, have a nice day and the next day.
[Entering the 97th floor.]
-Wooooooooo.
The members and I went upstairs.
Where the smile cap is.
at the same time.
‘The top floor of the tower.’
-Ta-at.
Advertisements
Landed lightly on the ground.
Where I am.
“Wow. The atmosphere is tense.”
It was an island.
An island trapped between something that may or may not be poison instead of the sea.
A black, dead sandy beach.
It was full of corpses and equipment that had been washed up by the waves.
