Episode 193 Goinmul Corporation’s Unity Rally (Feat. Amusement Park) (1)
The person waiting for Jinhyeok at the cafe was none other than the Empire’s Swordmaster ‘Penheimer’.
Due to interference in the system, the information residents inside the tower can know about the outside of the tower is limited.
This means that things that can feel uncomfortable become self-filtered or automatically distorted memories.
Therefore, Penheimer was able to easily accept the world outside the tower.
Shake!
Jinhyuk walked over to the table where Fenheimer was sitting and sat down.
They say it has grown into the biggest force in the middle class… … .
It seems that the coins that can be used to get out of the tower can be used generously.
By the way, that guy is wearing a black suit instead of armor, giving him a really dignified feel.
If there was a British gentleman, I think this would be what he looks like.
“I was quite surprised that he asked me to meet him here.”
“Haha. I wanted to invite you to the empire if possible, but given the circumstances, it ended up like this. Thanks to you, I was able to see the world Jinhyeok lives in, so I guess it’s not that bad.”
Fenheimer took a mouthful of cappuccino.
“Hmm….”
The exclamation made it seem like he really liked the food of this world.
Tiramisu, Mont Blanc, Madeleine… … They were having a tea party.
“You pay the right price for your drink, right?”
“Of course. When I gave him a gold coin, the owner leased the store to me. That’s fortunate because I need to talk quietly.”
“…….”
These damn bourgeois… … .
Does Ellis or this person have a hobby of collapsing the value of a country’s currency when money rots?
Jinhyuk felt a pounding headache.
However, what matters now is not how rich the empire is.
The key is what kind of information needs to be obtained here and now.
“So. I’d like to hear why you wanted to see me. I’m sure you didn’t just invite me for a cup of tea.”
“You always like to get to the point. I understand.”
Fenheimer handed me a ring decorated with a gold dragon and a golden rose.
This… … .
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
These are two patterns that symbolize the imperial family.
“Is this like a pass to enter the empire?”
“Yes. It means that it is a gift received directly from a noble, so as long as you have this, you will be able to move around freely within the empire.”
Certainly, with this, freedom of action is guaranteed in many ways.
However, it was inconsistent to say that Penheimer came here in person simply to give her a ring.
It would have been enough to have someone else run that errand.
That means… … .
“It looks like Moorim is hitting harder than we thought.”
Jinhyuk cut out the beginning and got straight to the point.
“Well, how did you do that….”
“I have already heard that the martial arts group launched a preemptive attack. Naturally, everyone thinks that the situation is favorable to the empire.”
but.
In reality, things will go differently.
Even if I didn’t see it in person, my long experience told me that this would be the case.
“That’s surprising. It makes me wonder if they sent a spy to us.”
“That means that’s right.”
“As you said, the situation is not that good. Part of the 24th floor has already completely fallen to the martial arts side. One knight corps and a force of 5,000 men have been destroyed.”
The situation is more serious than we thought.
Even if martial arts does not look down on individual martial arts skills. It’s probably not enough to annihilate that many people, is it?
That’s right.
“Did the higher-ups intervene?”
This should be interpreted to mean that a higher power intervened.
Above the 35th floor.
In other words, from the level where the ‘Godhead’ and the ‘Transcendant’ reside.
“……They didn’t intervene.”
“Otherwise, there would be no card that could come out so strong in Wulin.”
“Actually, there’s just one more thing.”
At Jinhyuk’s words, Penheimer slowly opened his mouth.
And rather, he mentioned a name that was more troublesome than the intervention of the gods.
“Cheonma has closed its doors.”
Heavenly Demon.
If you were to select the overall ranking in the Tower of Trials, he was definitely one of the characters that was mentioned.
A being who has pushed the limits of the human body.
Therefore, the path it walks is stained with blood, and the places it touches become ruins.
A monster comparable to a natural disaster, worthy of being called a disaster from the sky, was one of the absolute forces that affected not only the martial arts world but the entire tower.
I can’t believe a guy like that came out after closing.
‘If this guy has gone beyond the natural world and reached the level of natural world, it will be a real pain… … .’
Jinhyuk added the newly appeared variable to the plan with a stern expression.

Then suddenly another question came to mind.
‘If the Heavenly Demon has truly appeared, it is useless to tell me.’
There is no way that a single player can be entrusted with a task that requires the attention of all the Empire’s Sword Masters and palace wizards.
No matter how much the player flies or crawls, he is still far below the level of the residents.
In the end, it means that Penheimer’s coming here has nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon.
I’m giving a lot of information, pretending to be verbose, but… … What interest is actually aiming for is… … .
‘is it.’
Something passed through Jinhyeok’s mind like lightning.
Now I understand.
What Fenheimer wants to confirm is to provide various types of information and figure out what results they can derive from those pieces.
It’s about information and analysis, and whether you can even grasp the fact that you’re being tested.
I don’t know what the reason is.
The reason why we are putting so much effort into it is probably because there is a serious behind-the-scenes situation.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
“I think that’s enough of what I’m talking about. Let me ask you one last question. What is the real reason you wanted to meet me?”
“……Hahahaha! I think it was the right decision to come to Jinhyuk.”
Penheimer burst into laughter.
But it was only for a moment.
The words that followed the laughter contained more earnest sincerity than ever.
“It is true that a war broke out, and it is true that the Heavenly Demon appeared. However, all of that must be resolved on our side. What I would like to ask Jinhyeok to do is to select the spies within us.”
“Concubine…sleep?”
“That’s right. Someone is in cahoots with Moorim. They are cleverly stealing internal information. And judging from the level of information, there is a high possibility that a very high-ranking person is involved.”
This thing is quite complicated.
If done well, it could be a pretty fun game… … .
I could roughly guess which side betrayed the imperial family.
When it comes to the empire, it was thanks to the fact that I had studied it with such interest that I could read it all year by year, from the founding of the country to the present.
“If I do it, what can the Empire do for me in return?”
“Support for the middle layer…and provision of the shortest route to the upper layer. We promise these two things.”
This means that work that would have taken years can be reduced to a matter of months, without the need to climb the complex 20-story stairs one by one.
“See you soon in the Empire.”
＊＊＊
[Employees of Goinmul Corporation. Good afternoon everyone. We haven’t had a chance to see each other since everyone has been working hard, but this time we have prepared a small event for unity, so everyone who has received an invitation is requested to attend.]
[Location: Theme park located on the first floor of the Tower of Trials / Time: Until 3 p.m.]
A polite invitation was sent.
However, due to various restrictions, the number of members who actually arrived at the appointed location was somewhat mixed.
First of all, Kim Hee-woong, who was in charge of the Black Crow Guild, Andria, who was in charge of the mental ward, and Melena from the Mine Association were unable to attend.
Instead, Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa were there.
Of course, it was a bonus that Alice, who clung to her like a piece of gum, and Wolyoung, who was hiding in the shadows, joined us.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an amusement park.”
Teresa looked around with a childish look on her face.
The theme park located in the center of the Tower of Trials boasted a scale so large that it could not even be compared to Disneyland.
In fact, quite a few people gathered here to relieve the stress accumulated from climbing the tower.
“Is this what it means to bring in someone who is extremely busy?”
Cheon Yu-seong did not hide his unpleasant feelings.
hmm.
Despite that, he looks strangely excited.
I’d like to hear a serious explanation as to why my eyes are focused on the roller coaster, even though I’m grumbling verbally.
No, seriously, why are you holding a coin equivalent to the price of the free pass in your other hand?
“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t make that face like you’re a scared puppy.”
“Yes. I have something I want to say, but I’ll hold back for fear of getting stabbed at the amusement park.”
“What does that mean?”
“It doesn’t mean anything. I guess I just want to maintain the peace of the long-awaited company pep rally.”
If an image of a medical student wielding a long sword were posted on the Tower of Trials community, it would be quite problematic.
It is even more troubling that a video titled ‘The Reality of Korea University’s Sword Master.avi’ is circulating on the Internet.
Jinhyuk quietly shook his head.
Right then.
Kuuk.
Ellis, who was next to him, pulled Jinhyuk’s sleeve.
“Human. I want to eat that. Quickly. Quickly.”
Ellis gulped, pointing to a large piece of cotton candy.
If you don’t buy it, the entire amusement park is going to be reduced to ruins.
It’s such a hassle to serve this damn queen.
At the first general shareholders’ meeting, only obedient and well-behaved employees gathered… … .
Jinhyuk, who had been pondering memories of the past for a moment, gave up everything and headed to the food court.
“Cotton candy, hot dogs, beaded ice cream… just give me one of each of the things here.”
Since it was already like this, I was planning to release the stress that had built up and make a sure shot.
‘I conquered two floors and received 500,000 coins, so I guess I can afford this level of luxury.’
Moreover, as the number of views of the uploaded videos is steadily increasing, the empty balance will fill up more than before.
Above all, Ellis was a conversion card that could be used as endless content in the future.
When I thought about it that way, the coins I was using felt like pennies.
＊＊＊
For the next six hours, the group rode various rides, ate delicious food, and enjoyed a long-awaited break.
Not only Teresa, who grew up with very strict manners, and Cheon Yu-seong, who has a blunt personality.
Ellis, who had come to this place for the first time, screamed so hard that her voice went hoarse.
“Shall we go back now?”
Teresa, who saw the sun had set, suggested disbanding.
It was almost closing time, so it was time to head back.
but.
“No. What if I leave already?”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders with a strange smile.
“Huh? Are you saying there’s still more?”
“Of course. Not yet. There is one most important place left.”
Jinhyuk pointed to the innermost part of the amusement park.
I saw a door that was hard to see because it was hidden behind a gorgeous view.
What can I say?
Even at a glance, it was a door that seemed to have a creeping energy that made it seem like one should not enter.
“Now that we’ve had some fun, it’s time to enjoy the stagnant water amusement park to the fullest.”
That place… … .
This is the real ‘hard mode’ hidden in the amusement park.
