Episode 76: Is it a relic?
How many floors did the licker climb up to?
Since we left a day ago, we were probably on the 12th floor? Maybe even the 13th floor.
The 13th floor requires you to survive for 8 hours to clear, so you probably won’t be able to get to the 14th floor due to time constraints.
It may be an exaggeration, but considering the performances that Licky has shown so far, it seems like it is definitely possible to get to the 13th floor.
Since I have uploaded a strategy guide, there is no need for trial and error.
Oh, wait a minute.
“How do I conquer the 15th floor?”
I didn’t think of that.
The walkthrough posted so far is up to the 14th floor.
I haven’t uploaded the 15th floor yet. In fact, there was nothing to upload.
Because I cleared the 15th floor through a hidden quest, not the official route.
There is also a way to increase the hidden quest strategy like on the 9th floor.
“It won’t work, probably.”
The hidden quest itself does not necessarily occur.
It happens when certain conditions are met.
And no one knows what the conditions are. They can only guess based on the circumstances.
It’s not like some people can do it and others can’t just because they have the same conditions.
For example, let’s say there’s a hidden quest that requires you to kill 100 goblins while wearing a ring on your finger.
A person who was lucky enough to find the hidden quest while hunting with the ring on might say this to people because they don’t know all the conditions.
‘If you kill 100 goblins, a hidden quest will appear!’
After hearing this news, the person also hunted the goblins, but since he was bare-handed, even if he killed 1,000 of them, the hidden quest would not occur.
Then what will happen?
What the heck. I’m starting to get angry.
‘That kid was joking!’
‘Why can’t I do it!’
Like this.
“It didn’t matter because it was the 9th floor and the conditions were clear.”
Because the notification window explicitly mentions the key to the Hyaltin Ruins.
The 15th floor was different. There were three possible conditions.
“You will find a clue to the massacre, you will have experience in catching a 4-star monster, and you will have the Frost Flame Sword.”
It’s already an outing here.
Even if it is possible to find a clue, dealing with 4-star monsters on the lower floors is nearly impossible.
Not to mention the Frost Flame Sword. If it weren’t for Lilka, I wouldn’t have even known about it.
In fact, there is no one else who can wake me up.
“If you just upload it, it will have a negative effect.”
The title of tactician I have.
The contribution score for the strategy changes depending on the reaction.
If you post an unreliable strategy, it may backfire and lower your score.
I guess I’ll have to give up on the 15th floor strategy.
Because there is no need to take risks.
“I guess I’ll have to give up on the 16th floor too.”
I petted the panting puppy.
This place was also cleared in an unconventional way, so I have nothing to say.
Saying that the level was cleared because the fire spirit didn’t attack would be useless.
It’s sad. The opportunity to increase contribution is gone like this.
[Strategist-Title (Growth Type)]
-All stats +10
-Luck stat +5 (Luck stat is applied separately from general stat.)
– Current contribution: 102 points (48 points left until next reward)
“I just need to raise it by 48 more points.”
It’s a shame. I want to write something and upload it, but if I do something useless, I’ll just get negative feedback, right?
Since it has come to this, there is only one way.
“Break the next floor and upload the strategy.”
“Yeah. Okay.”
Deokchun also nods in agreement.
As expected, he’s a smart guy.
The task has been decided.
Because of the f*cking infinite coins.
For contribution to the strategy.
You have to climb up to avoid getting licked.
If you think about it, there’s no reason to necessarily avoid licking.
“It seems like a few screws are missing, and if I reveal my identity and the bald man hears about it, I’ll be in trouble.”
Isn’t what’s good good?
I stood in front of the portal with Deokchun on my shoulders.
“Squeak. Squeak.”
“King! King!”
Puppies coming towards me with a sense of regret.

It was really cute to see him wag his tail, but cuteness wasn’t enough to stop him from licking it.
“If you want to live, you should show your belly to Lickjak and wag your tail, okay?”
I know you won’t understand, but I left some advice.
Maybe I should say that it was the price I paid for healing by briefly touching it.
Then let’s go.
[Entering the portal.]
-Wooooooow
The vision is blurry.
I think I used to get a little motion sickness, but now I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me at all.
All I felt was a sense of floating, like I was floating on water.
It also seems more comfortable inside the portal thanks to the heat dissipating.
-Paaaaat
[Enter the 17th floor.]
Even so, it is only a momentary relief.
As my vision returned, a dry wind swept across my cheek.
Grains of sand sticking to your lips.
“Is it the desert this time?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I let out a small sigh.
When it comes to heat, there’s no place like the desert.
Is it just hot?
“No shade, no water. No more shelter. No sense of direction.”
It’s a place where survival itself is difficult.
Ironically, it was rather tolerable at the top.
Because you can buy drinks and food at the store window.
Oh, right.
“Come to think of it, I decided to buy Deokchun whatever he wanted to eat.”
One time, I promised to buy anything that was in the store window.
This time, the shop window has also been upgraded to silver level, so there will be more choices.
It might be a good idea to choose one before it gets busy again.
“Yeah, yeah.”
However, Deokchun shook his head and refused.
I guess it’s not the right time yet.
“On the track.”
Deokchun making a circle with his fingers.
“You don’t have many points right now, so you’re not going to choose?”
“Ggg …
I did spend a lot this time.
I upgraded my skills and also raised the shop window level.
Anyway, he’s a clever, no, smart guy.
But I still have over 6,000 points, so what are you going to buy?
It’s scary now.
I need to earn a lot of money.
‘Fortunately, there was a way to make money.’
Skill book combination using skill synthesis.
If you buy a lower grade skill book, turn it into a higher grade skill book, and sell it, you can literally sit on a mountain of money.
If there is a problem.
“The fact that I have to figure out each combination individually and that I don’t know when skill synthesis will be disabled.”
Up until now, I’ve been synthesizing skills by relying on S-class powers, stargazing eyes, and luck stats, but there’s no guarantee that will continue to be the case in the future.
To continue working, you need to combine mainly skill books that can be purchased from the shop window.
There were limitations in many ways.
Well, these are things you can do when you have some money.
It’s hard to try with 6,000 points.
It would probably be worth a try if you had at least a few tens of thousands of points.
“Nothing comes easy.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Deokchun pats him on the shoulder and says, “Cheer up.”
Thank you. After all, there is no one else but you.
“In that sense, wouldn’t it be okay to just give it to them as a lunch box?”
“Ugh, ugh.”
A guy who sticks his tongue out and says it’s out of the question.
It’s annoying. Someday I’ll be stronger and beat you up.
It seemed like Deokchun had read my mind and was snickering, but I must have been mistaken.
Well, that’s enough small talk.
“The clear conditions aren’t that difficult.”
[17th floor]
[Sandman Kill (0/30)]
[Sandworm Kill (0/30)]
[Oasis Found (0/1)]
Hunting monsters is easy.
Sandman and Sandworm. They are 1-star and 2-star monsters respectively.
Sandworms are only 2-star monsters, but they have low attack power and are not difficult to deal with.
With my specs, I can handle as many as they come.
“The problem is the oasis.”
Sand dunes rising everywhere.
The terrain changes with each wind blow.
The sand dunes are repeatedly destroyed and re-created by sandworms that suddenly appear.
There is virtually no way to determine the location.
A saying that means if you’re unlucky, you might end up going around in circles in the same spot.
Due to these conditions, a considerable number of hunters retired from the 17th floor.
If there were no store windows, it would have fallen more.
“I don’t mind though.”
-Kuk
I took a high jump position on the nearby, highest sand dune.
Tight thighs.
A tremendous amount of strength was gathered through the strengthened muscles.
-Bang!
He kicked the ground hard.
Sand blowing in all directions.
A huge hole appeared where I was.
It must have risen to about 3 meters.
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.9]
-Kwaaaaang!
I had a real blast.
A method that has been quite useful lately.
Acceleration and position transformation using explosions.
It went higher, riding on the rebound.
-Bam! Kwaang!
One more time. And one more time.
I continued to use Firebomb until there were no sand dunes higher than me.
Magic power is slowly draining away.
The body shakes from the recoil, and blood rushes to the legs because of the gravity.
The moment when you feel dizzy after floating to a high place.
“Found it.”
I was able to discover an oasis.
West. Not crazy far.
Although it is hidden by several sand dunes, it is less than 10 kilometers in a straight line.
The location of the oasis was engraved in my mind.
-Hooooong
The body, having lost its momentum, begins to fall.
Faster. Faster!
My hair stands on end as if I was riding a gyro drop, and my body sways precariously in the wind.
A dangerous situation where, if you make a mistake, you could fall on your back or head.
-Suaaaah!
“Eeeeek!”
The wind tore through my ears, and Deokchun hugged my neck tightly and cried.
I grabbed Deokchun.
“Deokchun, do you trust me?”
“Him? Him!”
Deokchun, who had been tilting his head for a moment, shook his head vigorously.
It seems like he read my mind and knew what I was going to do.
He raised the corners of his lips.
“Just trust!”
“Ouch!”
Just before it hit the ground, I threw Deokchun into the sky.
Deokchun flying through the air with a loud scream.
1 meter to the floor.
[Fog Run (B) Lv.4]
-Saaaaaaah
I turned into fog and gently landed on the ground.
There was no shock.
After a short 0.5 second, I regained my body and stretched out my hand.
“Ouch!”
“Right.”
Deokchun, who fits in your hand.
Deokchun, who had been gaping with his mouth wide open as if in a daze, regained his composure.
“That’s it!”
-Whew
A tongue flying towards my cheek.
I avoided it by twisting my neck.
Haha. I’ve been slapped a few times in the past. This much is predictable.
This is the greatness of humanity, amphibians.
-Poohwaaaaah!
“Ouch! Hey! Spitting fire is against the rules!”
“Eugegegegege.”
Deokchun blew his breath, upset that he couldn’t hit her on the cheek.
I quickly brushed it off before my hair got burnt, but I couldn’t help but smell like grilled squid.
I should be thankful I didn’t burn the whole thing. I almost went bald.
From now on, you should give me a nice cheek.
No hair, you punk.
“Whew. Let’s go.”
After a brief commotion, I lifted Deokchun onto my shoulder.
We’ve got the direction. All that’s left is to get there.
The method is not difficult. Jump and use the Fire Bomb to propel yourself to fly.
It’s not a very efficient method, but it’s better than running around aimlessly and ending up on the wrong path.
I moved around like that, alternating between moving and checking the location, for 10 minutes.
As I felt my magic power drying up, I began to see an oasis with my naked eye.
Sandworm and Sandman?
“Euuuuuu.”
“Geuuuuuuuu.”
[Sandman Church (13/30)]
[Sandworm Kill (9/30)]
There are quite a few people who died in the explosion.
All that’s left is to hunt near the oasis.
The 17th floor isn’t much of a deal either.
“You can run from here.”
To save magic power and hunt at the same time.
There’s no need to fly to a place where you can see it.
-Chaang
I pulled out the frost flame sword.
I’m thinking of going hunting on the way.
“Geuuuuuuu!”
“Gooooo!”
I slashed and slashed the monsters in my path.
Those who couldn’t reach were swept away using Fire Bomb.
For me, 1st and 2nd star monsters aren’t even an obstacle.
As we approached the oasis.
-Wooooow!
“uh?”
[The Hyaltin Ruins Key reacts.]
The relic key in the treasure pouch began to vibrate.
