Episode 137
After watching Minjeong’s training for a few days, she was sent to the Sacred Guild dormitory.
‘All the foundations have been laid.’
Since I was learning by getting hit, I learned it quickly.
Sword techniques were not taught separately.
［Transcendence Swordsmanship］
S-class swordsmanship.
If you look at the system level alone, it is at the same level as my main martial arts.
‘It’s up to my brother how he uses it.’
How to read your opponent’s presence.
Tips for moving your body.
It took several days just to teach him the basics of fighting.
Thanks to that, my movements have improved considerably.
“Oppa, come back after the test and have one more round.”
“I’m going to the tower. Come see me later.”
“Mr. Woo. Inseongha who runs away after hitting him!”
“Try working hard to develop your potential. Then you might be able to give me a beating.”
“We’ll see. I’ll train steadily and definitely beat you.”
The last words gave me a little goosebumps.
Why is my heart pounding?
After sending my younger brother away.
I contacted Ellie.
‘I need to get you to do some work before going up to the tower.’
If I go to the pagoda this time, I plan to stay for quite a while.
The ordeal of the tower.
The higher you go, the stronger it becomes, and the rewards increase.
Last time, I regretted that my visit was short because I had to worry about Pandemonium’s operations.
I met Ellie at the cafe in front of my house.
“I’m sorry for calling you during working hours.”
“Refreshingly. When didn’t you do that?”
“…Do you really have to treat it like that as a fact?”
“It’s okay. Assisting Mincheol Hunter is also my job. Although I have to work overtime more.”
It doesn’t look okay at all.
If I say more, I don’t think I’ll be able to get my head around it.
“Do you drink coffee with whole beans?”
“Oh my. You somehow remember that.”
“Because I always seem to order coffee beans.”
I got up from my seat.
To send Ellie to order, the gaze of those around her was too harsh.
People in the cafe glanced at Ellie.
Although she wore a neat suit, it could not hide Ellie’s beautiful appearance.
On the contrary, it felt more professional and more attractive.
‘Because it’s annoying when a lot of people see it.’
I brought two cups of coffee and returned to the table.
Oh, I came.
“Did your younger brother have a good time?”
“Uh. It’s hard because I’m so exhausted.”
“Hoho. It’s strange to hear such a thing coming from Hunter Mincheol.”
“What does that mean?”
He asked sharply, but Ellie just laughed.
I felt strange because I felt like I had heard enough of an answer just by looking at that smile.
“Have you looked into this guy named Doctor?”
“The results are not good. The black society hunters don’t know, so we
Because it’s not a territory.”
“Well, I can’t help it.”
I didn’t expect much.
This is the guy who developed various things, including summoning amplification circles and demonization capsules.
He must be a key figure in the plans of the Asmodeus group.
On the contrary, if the doctor’s traces had been easily found, they would have been concerned that it might be a trap.
“What is the association’s reaction?”
“They say they are going to formally protest against China and pandemonium.”
“It’s desk administration.”
“That’s right.”
Ellie’s eyes met mine.
Eat.
At the same time, laughter escaped.
In an instant, Ellie and I connected perfectly.
‘They are not the kind of people who will listen to you if you protest.’

I don’t know about black society, but Pandemonium won’t even bat an eyebrow.
Demons do not regard lower-dimensional mortals as equals.
If you treat it well, is it as good as Poppy, the dog you keep at home?
My perception of my past life was no different.
‘Because I wasn’t expecting it in the first place.’
Reporting to the association was a step of its own.
There is no way Pandemonium will give up its greed for the tower.
Fenrir descends.
Intermediate Demon Possession.
These are the guys who have already planned to destroy Seoul twice.
‘The association stumbled, so
It will be difficult to move.’
That was enough.
Jooook-
When I applied force to the straw, black liquid came up quickly.
The bitter taste of coffee lingered in my mouth.
“How is the situation at the branch?”
“I like it. It’s so good that it’s a problem.”
“What do you mean? Is it like irony?”
“No. Thanks to Hunter Mincheol, things are going well and I have a lot to do.”
The size of the guild operated separately by the Yongsan branch of the Interstellar Union has grown significantly.
Several hunters joined the guild after hearing a rumor that I might soon become the 7th S-class hunter in the country.
Selling interstellar alliance products has also become easier.
A lot of the auxiliary equipment I used was Interstellar Alliance.
no.
Thanks to being sponsored by the Interstellar Alliance, most of it was Interstellar Alliance equipment.
“A product bearing Mincheol Hunter’s name is also scheduled to be released.”
“Why is the shame mine?”
“Hoho. You should be proud.”
ha.
Come to think of it, we talked about advertising models last time.
At first I thought it was a joke.
Now it is difficult to pass it off as a joke.
“By the way, I have a request from Harin.”
“Are you talking about Boss Lincewood?”
“Uh. Once the results come out, I’ll tell you about it.”
A magic circle that absorbs the tower’s energy and creates chaotic fragments.
It is the work of ‘Doctor’, a being who joined hands with the Asmodeus faction.
‘Because I’m bad at magic.’
Aside from combat magic, I know very little.
The applications of magic are diverse.
In particular, if you are not an expert in magic engineering, you have no idea how it works even if you look at its structure.
‘Harin is an expert in that field.’
As far as I know in this life, he is the most outstanding magic engineer.
In addition, I asked Ellie to do small tasks such as managing the training center.
By the time we finished talking, the coffee had run out.
Ellie looked intently into my eyes.
“Are you going straight to the tower?”
“That’s right.”
“I… I have a gift for you.”
huh?
A sudden gift?
Curiosity welled up.
“What? Please show me that gift.”
“Well, it’s still a secret.”
Wow.
Would you like to take a step back from this?
I bent forward and narrowed the distance between me and Ellie.
“A gift is only meaningful if it is delivered to that person.”
“Hoho, I will give it to you when you return safely from the tower.”
Will you give it to me on the condition that I return from the tower?
I don’t know what it is, but it succeeded in appealing to people.
“Okay. Just wrap that gift. I’ll be back to pick up the room soon.”
“You can look forward to it.”
Ellie smiled and elegantly drank the remaining sip of coffee.
米 氷 米
The moment I set foot on the tower, my vision turned black.
I felt like my body was floating, and my eyes quickly detected an object.
［Tower of Trials – 5th floor］
［Floating Garden］
This time I didn’t start at the next step like before.
Hanging Garden.
It was inside the small ‘tower’ that we stopped by just before returning to Earth.
If you stand in the magic circle on the floor, you can immediately take on the 6th floor ordeal.
‘what. ‘Because there’s nothing urgent.’
I took my eyes off the magic circle.
The fifth floor of the tower was different from previous trials.
A space where challengers stay.
It is a place where all kinds of information, items, and people gather.
‘You can use points to buy information on the next floor or useful equipment.
He said.’
This is a story I heard from Seonghee Jeong, an association agent with whom I had a relationship in the past.
I was lucky to meet Seonghee as soon as I got to the 5th floor.
Southern part of the city.
I walked towards the so-called Sanghoe District.
‘The atmosphere is different here.’
The western blacksmith district, where the air is hot from blacksmiths working with bellows.
The Northern Community District, where various races selected from various dimensions gather in one place.
There was a strong feeling that the South had greatly expanded the interstellar alliance.
“Cheap. Cheap. A unique grade knife made from the Sha’s fingernails costs only 100,000 points!”
“A top-quality healing potion made by processing holy oil from Mt. Isu, which can only be found on the 10th floor of the tower. Selling for 10,000 pt each!”
A street vendor with goods spread out on the street.
There are numerous stores on both sides of the road.
I felt like I was walking down the crowded streets of Myeongdong.
I quickly looked through the items left on the street.
The average rare rating is 30,000 points.
The average unique rating is 150,000 points.
And… the average level of legend was around 700,000 points.
[l,767,750pt]
Points that can be used to purchase two legendary grade artifacts.
These are powerful weapons that cannot be obtained even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars on Earth, but in the Tower,
It was easily obtainable.
As long as there are points.
‘The points I gained from the tutorial and the second floor were not at all low.’
1 million during the trial on the 0th floor.
On the 2nd floor, I got 500,000 points.
At first, I didn’t realize how big this was because I earned a lot of points.
As I walked around the public garden, I realized the value of points.
The Sanghoe district also sold consumables needed to climb the tower.
［Returnstone – 60,000 pt］
If used, the trial will be stopped and you will immediately return to the 5th floor of the tower, [Hanging Garden].
60,000 points.
This amount is enough to purchase two rare grade items.
‘It’s cheap for the price of life.’
Once you take on the challenge of the tower, you cannot escape it until you move on to the next level.
The second floor is also called [Deep Sea].
That’s why.
The Hearthstone was a safety device that allowed one to give up the ordeal at any time.
I bought a hearthstone just in case.
‘There’s nothing else I want.’
Only 2 transcendent grade artifacts.
There is also a legendary level.
The weapon was of unique grade, but I had no intention of changing it.
The rest of the equipment didn’t feel lacking at all right away.
Use your points to buy enough
No artifacts with outstanding performance were found.
While walking around the Sanghoe district, one sign in particular caught my eye.
[The story the wind whispers]
A sentence with a metaphorical expression.
It was an information guild that dealt with all kinds of stories in the tower.
The moment you step into the guild building, you are immediately transported to an isolated space.
A being wearing a blue robe.
A person whose race or gender was unknown greeted me.
“What business do you have for the storyteller?”
“I want to hear the story about the 6th and 7th floors.”
“A light wind is 1,000 points. A strong wind is 10,000 points.”
Is the importance of information expressed by the strength of the wind?
It’s a fun place.
“I want to get some fresh air.”
“I don’t know what will happen,
How about facing the strong wind in advance?”
“It’s no fun if you go in knowing everything.”
I shook my head.
Tower of Trials.
It is a place where trials are presented to those who climb them, and appropriate rewards are given when they overcome them.
If you go in knowing everything, is it an ordeal?
The robed being tilted its head.
“If that is what you mean.”
［Pay l,000pt to the Story Whispers of the Wind store.］
Points were automatically deducted.
At the same time, a translucent window appeared in front of me.
［Tower of Trials 6th Floor – Breath of the Underground］
［Goal: Collect minerals］
［A space where the interests of a large community are intertwined.］
［It is recommended to join a community or act with a large number of people.］
［Risk level: LOW］
［Tower of Trials 7th Floor – Rules of Survival］
［Goal: Survival］
［Survive for 28 days in a wild jungle similar to the Catachan dimension.］
［It is a good idea to prepare a survival kit.］
［Risk level: Medium］
what.
This is pretty detailed, right?
‘I climbed up without even knowing what the ordeal was.
It’s different from when I went.’
This was enough to prepare me for the ordeal upstairs.
In particular, the information on the 7th floor was more useful because it enabled preparations related to ‘survival’.
“Thank you. Then…
The moment when you are about to leave your seat.
A being wearing a blue robe grabbed my wrist.
Thin and cold.
“What’s going on?”
“It looks like you are alone. The 6th floor is a community area.
“It would be better to get Niti or hire someone from the 5th floor.”
no way.
Are you even worried about me?
Although it’s just a pointless comment.
It didn’t feel bad.
“don’t worry.”
He gently removed his finger and waved it left and right.
“I’m usually comfortable alone.”
After smiling lightly at the blue-robed being, I left the information guild.
Preparations to go up to the 6th floor are complete.
