Episode 116. Moonlight Festival (1)
[You need to place 3 runes to learn the 1-star barrier ‘Optical Refraction’…]
That’s easy.
Even before the explanation was over, Jinhyeok drew a rune word in an instant.
The ‘imprint of the moon’ engraved on the shoulder instantly emitted a dazzling light.
[You have acquired the 1-star barrier ‘Optical Refraction’.]
[Win the cookie bag event!]
[750,000 coins will be refunded!]
[Would you like to challenge yourself to learn the next barrier?]
How new information is added to the existing knowledge .
New information about optical refraction seeped into Jinhyeok’s head like a kind of indoctrination.
‘Hoo. Was it possible to use optical refraction in this way?’
An interesting smile passed over Jinhyeok’s lips.
Even if you know 99% of it, if you have 1% of freshness, that alone is worth learning the ability.
That’s why it’s good to choose a job you’ve never done before.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to learn things I didn’t know about the tower.
‘Certainly formally acquiring it helps me understand the barrier more completely.’
Jinhyeok immediately opened the next barrier.
[To learn the 1-star barrier ‘Underfoot’…]
Is it a trap type barrier this time?
Likewise, Jinhyeok drew the rune words and placed them before the explanation reached the middle.
You don’t even need to hear hints about basic techniques.
That’s about it.
It’s hard enough that you can do it while sleeping.
‘Well, it’s only a one-star rating.’
Jinhyeok, who muttered softly, received the next assignment.
Countless processes of taking on challenges and getting coins refunded followed.
It was a conundrum that most of the players who chose the Temple of Confinement could barely solve without wrapping their heads around it.
For Jinhyeok, it was just the basic of the basics.
Time passed.
The number indicating the success of the barrier has increased.
[2-star…]
[3-star…]
Status window blinking rapidly.
As the difficulty level increased, the speed at which the barriers were learned actually increased.
The deceased slowly began to catch on.
at last.
[Stop it, you crazy bastard!]
[We’re digging in the dirt!]
[What happened to this guy who didn’t spend a dime and skipped everything we had! This young bastard’s Shiki…!]
The system that exceeded the limit began to run wild.
An act that completely ignores commercial morality.
As many as 750,000 coins were given and taken out and repeated infinitely, so of course I couldn’t help but get a fever.
However, Jinhyeok lightly ignored the system’s warning.
“Yeah. This house is very nice. This would be at the level of teasing that even a generously given tree is a hogu.”
Whether it hurts or not, that’s up to you.
This is just a legitimate exercise of rights under established rules.
Jinhyeok increased his speed.
All the difficult barriers were broken.
And finally.
[You have learned the 117th barrier.]
You have cleared all the barriers you can learn.
It happened in just 2 hours and 30 minutes.
＊＊＊
The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials.
After finishing all the work outside the tower, Jinhyeok headed to the meeting place to participate in the elves’ festival.
‘It’s nice to be free, but it’s only like this that I feel like the main character in the apocalypse.’
Originally, it was a place not often visited by players, but after the news of the 10th floor spread, it became a ghost forest.
After all, only those who had the permission of the player who cleared the 10th floor could enter the 10th floor.
Of course, everyone must have turned on the light in their eyes and tried to find Unknown.
To be precise…
‘Cheon Yoo-seong, who believes that he is Unknown.’
Jinhyuk’s face turned dark.
Chun Yoo-seong has already spread rice cake called Unknown in every corner of the community.
It was a post that was nothing more than a feeling, but thanks to the addition of plausible hypotheses, there were quite a lot of fish caught.
I don’t know, but now around Chun Yu-seong, there must be a situation comparable to Haeundae in Busan in August due to numerous reporters, guild officials, and crooked fans.
For this reason, I deliberately left out the presence of Chun Yoo-seong in the 10th floor raid video.
‘I should at least apologize later.’
It’s not once or twice like this. If you sincerely apologize, they will probably understand.
Maybe…
maybe.
Jinhyeok erased the things about Chun Yuseong from his mind.
Considering what the disgusting swordsman has been doing, this is because he couldn’t even enter the axis of revenge.
Instead of thinking about the headache, Jinhyeok took out a cute pet from the subspace inventory.
The sweet potato that had toddled out looked around eagerly.
Since I was born not long ago, everything seems strange to me.
“Green Mosquito!”
“Yes, yes. This is the pool.”
Jinhyeok looked at the sweet potato smelling grass with a happy expression.
Watching the black sweet potato wriggling, I thought that someday I would like to go to the white snowy floor together.
also.
Roasted sweet potatoes were a law that went well with winter.
A happy and peaceful atmosphere followed.
That is, until Sweet Potato tried to stuff the poisonous mushroom into his mouth.
“for a moment! You are not eating that!”
“Red Mosquito!”
The sweet potato chewed and ate the clown mushrooms.
Drying it is useless.
They say they won’t take it away even if they die, but what can they do to stop it?
Of course, the ancient species wouldn’t get sick if they ate a poisonous mushroom…
“Whoa.”
Jinhyeok let out a sigh filled with complex feelings.
It seems that this is why parents cannot take their eyes off their children even for a moment.
After an uproar, Jinhyeok walked through the forest with sweet potatoes.
The remaining time is about 3 hours.
You have to hurry to arrive on time.
How long had I walked through such familiar forests and trees?
Finally, the two arrived at the place where they were supposed to meet.
however.
‘Because they look like fucking elves.’
I arrived on time, but quite understandably, Sylvia was nowhere to be seen.
Do you think that being an hour or two late just because you live over a thousand years is the beauty of blank space?
During that time, if I hung upside down, I wondered if I could make fun of the time commitment… I began to seriously want to test it.
However, Jinhyeok shook his head.
done.
If you discuss the value of time with those who play fresh games, only this one loses.
‘I have to do something I couldn’t finish at the hotel.’
Originally, I was going to do it after entering the village of the elves.
It wouldn’t be bad to deal with the empty time now.
Jinhyeok immediately activated the status window.

——————————————————
Full of content.
All of these were the results that proved how hard he had been running.
‘There are so many barrier types, so it seems to be displayed that way.’
The important thing is to distribute the stat points obtained by catching the rock giant.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
So far, I’ve been mainly raising my horsepower, but now I need to give it a little variation.
‘Since I skipped 4 floors at once, I’ll need to balance other stats starting from the 11th floor.’
especially stamina.
It was better to raise the stamina stat to create synergy with the passive ‘shallow breathing’.
After that, it was because the battles were longer or there were more things to go to melee.
[Strength increases from 20 → 22]
[Agility increases from 20 → 22]
[Stamina increases from 20 → 31]
Other things are raised, but more weight is placed on physical strength.
In this way, the stat distribution was completed.
‘It’s getting stronger and stronger.’
The experience as a deceased person and the skills that are tightly packed. In addition, huge stat rewards through the first clear.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Jinhyuk’s heart started beating fast.
It was hard to hide the excitement at seeing himself grow to the point that no one dared to follow him.
okay.
‘I will continue to be the first to lead.’
We will create the best results through only the best process without making a single mistake.
Because that’s what I saw at the top of the tower.
and.
‘Because no one but me will be able to see the top of the tower.’
no one else
only one in the world.
I am the only one who can climb this tower to the end.
Jinhyeok once again strengthened his resolve.
But just then
“uh! You are here early!”
An elf with bobbed hair and pointed ears appeared from beyond the bush.
It was Ranger Sylvia.
Jinhyeok’s eyebrows curled into a reverse shape.
“…you came early?”
You’re here early!?
“Why are you like that?”
“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting here?”
“yes? That’s what I’m good at…”
Sylvia shook her head slightly.
ha.
you did well
“You see this? I waited so long for mushrooms to grow on my body?”
“Ah… I don’t think I can see…”
“Be quiet! What are you doing well now! yes!? What’s more, my child got a stomach ache while eating it!”
Jinhyeok pointed his finger at the mouth of the sweet potato.
“Red Mosquito!”
There were leftover clown mushroom crumbs hanging from the sweet potato’s mouth.
It was an absurd statement that made no sense in terms of common sense, but Sylvia’s face turned white at Jinhyeok’s words that ran like a rapid-fire gun.
Her lips trembled as if she had completely lost her soul.
It’s nothing like making fun of an inexperienced rookie ranger.
Should we say that there is a difference between a 100-year-old Neunggureunggi and a newborn yellow peepee?
In the end, Sylvia had to pay the price for coming 30 minutes late.
“That… I’m sorry. I thought I came quickly. I didn’t know you’d been waiting for that long.”
“Let’s be careful in the future. yes?”
“yes yes! Next time, I will be sure to come on time.”
Sylvia quickly nodded.
Jinhyeok’s mood was somewhat relieved at the completely compliant appearance.
There is nothing like making fun of a frightened newbie when it comes to stress relief.
“by the way. Why are you so late?”
“ah. Actually, I have something to do about the festival. It may sound like an excuse, but I was very busy.”
“Well, collecting ‘swamp figs’ isn’t that easy.”
At Jinhyeok’s words, an earthquake occurred in Sylvia’s pupils.
“How else do you know that?”
how do you know
I know because I went to a village in the past and was even banished permanently.
Even back then, I remember how the elves’ backs were bent while gathering the fruits.
“Where did you pick it up?”
Jinhyeok, who was roughly surrounded, turned his body toward the forest.
“You have to go to the left and you will see a village…”
Tsk tsk.
This is also called an elf.
“This way is much faster.”
Sylvia stretched out her hand, but Jinhyeok didn’t even pretend to hear and took the lead.
