Episode 193. Unity Contest of the Goinmul Corporation (Feat. Amusement Park) (1)
The person waiting for Jinhyeok at the cafe was none other than the Empire’s sword master ‘Pennheimer’.
Due to the interference of the system, the information that residents inside the tower can know about the outside of the tower is limited.
This means that things that can feel out of place become self-filtering or automatically distort memories.
That’s why Pennheimer could easily accept the world outside the tower.
rattle!
Jinhyuk approached the table where Pennheimer was sitting and sat down.
It is said that it has grown into the largest force in the middle layer… It
seems that it has reached a level where coins can be used generously enough to come out of the tower.
By the way, that man also wears a black suit, not armor, so it gives off a dignified feeling.
If there is an English gentleman, I think this is what it looks like.
“I was quite surprised to see you here.”
“Haha. If possible, I wanted to invite them to the Empire, but the situation was such that it became like this. Thanks to you, I was able to see the world where Jinhyeok-sama lives, so I can say it’s not too bad.”
Pennheimer took a mouthful of cappuccino.
“Hmm…”
exclamation seemed to really like the food in this world.
Tiramisu, Mont Blanc, Madeleine… You were holding a very tea party.
“You’re paying for it and drinking it, right?”
“Of course. The owner rented out the shop for the gold coins. It’s fortunate for me as I have to have a quiet conversation.”
“…”
These bourgeois…
Is it a hobby for Alice and this person to collapse the value of a country’s currency when money rots?
Jinhyuk felt a throbbing headache.
But what matters now is not how rich the empire is.
The key is what kind of information you need to get here and now.
“So. I’d like to hear about your reasons for wanting to see me. I bet you didn’t invite me for a cup of tea.”
“You always like to get to the point. I see.”
Pennheimer handed her a ring adorned with a gold dragon and a golden rose.
This is…
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed.
These are two patterns that symbolize the imperial family.
“Is it like a pass to enter the empire?”
“Yes. It means a bounty received directly from a nobleman, so if you carry this, you should be able to roam freely within the empire.”
Certainly, if you have this, freedom of action is guaranteed in many ways.
However, to say that Pennheimer had come all the way here simply to give her a ring made no sense.
It was that much of an errand, so it would have been enough to have someone else do it.
That means…
“It seems Moorim is hitting harder than I thought.”
Jinhyeok cut off the beginning and stabbed the core.
“That, how could that be…”
“I’ve already heard the story that Moorim made a preemptive strike. Everyone would of course think it was a favorable situation for the Empire.”
but.
In reality, things will go differently.
Even without seeing it in person, long experience was telling me that it would be so.
“That’s surprising. I wonder if you sent a spy to us.”
“That means you’re right.”
“As you said, the situation is not so good. Part of the 24th floor has already been completely taken over by Murim. One knights and 5,000 troops have been destroyed.”
The situation is more serious than we thought.
Even if Moorim is not at a level where individual martial arts are not taken lightly. Wouldn’t it be enough to destroy that many?
that it is
“Did the upper echelons intervene?”
It should be interpreted as meaning that a higher power intervened.
Above the 35th floor.
In other words, from the floor where the ‘godhead’ and ‘supermind’ reside.
“…they didn’t intervene.”
“If it wasn’t for that, there wouldn’t be a card that could come out so strong in Moorim.”
“Actually, there’s just one more thing.”
At Jinhyeok’s words, Pennheimer slowly opened his mouth.
And rather than the intervention of the gods, he mentioned a more troublesome name.
“The Heavenly Demon has finished closing.”
Heavenly Demon.
If you were to pick out the entire rank in the Tower of Trials, he would definitely be one of the most talked about characters.
A being who threw that limit with a human body.
That’s why the path he walks is stained with blood, and the place he passes through becomes ruins.
A monster comparable to a natural disaster, to the extent that the word disaster from the sky was appropriate, was one of the absolutes that affected not only Murim but the entire tower.
To think that a guy like that came out after closing.
‘If this guy has gone beyond the real world and reached the realm of the natural world, it’s going to be a real headache…’
Jinhyeok added a new variable to the plan with a firm face.
Then, another question came to my mind.
‘If the Heavenly Demon really appeared, it would be useless to tell me.’
There was no way the sword masters of the empire and the royal palace mages would entrust a single player with a task that they would all have to stick to.
No matter how much the player can fly and crawl, he still falls far short of the level of the residents.
In the end, it makes sense that Pennheimer’s coming here had nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon.
Pretending to be redundant, he gives various information… but what Lee Ja is actually aiming for is…
‘Is that so.’
Something flashed through Jinhyuk’s mind like lightning.
now i get it
What Pennheimer wants to confirm is to give this and that information and figure out what kind of results this side can derive from those pieces.
It’s about information and analysis, and whether you can grasp the fact that you’re testing it.
I don’t even know what the reason is.
The fact that he is putting so much effort into it must be because there are circumstances behind him that are not light.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
“I think this is enough for me to 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 Jinhyeok.”
Pennheimer burst into madness.
But it was only for a short while.
The words that followed the laughter were more sincere than ever.
“It is true that the war broke out, and it is also true that the Heavenly Demon appeared. However, all of that must be resolved by us. What I would like to ask Jinhyeok-sama to do is to select a spy inside us.”
“The concubine… sleeping?”
“Yes. Someone is colluding with Moorim. It is a situation where inside information is being stealthily. And judging by the level of information, there is a high possibility that a very high place is involved.”
This thing is pretty complicated.
If done well, it could turn out to be quite interesting….
Roughly, I guessed which side betrayed the imperial family.
Regarding the empire, it was thanks to the fact that he had studied it with interest enough to know it line by year from the founding of the country to the present.
“If I do, what can the Empire do for me in return?”
“Support from the middle class…provision of the shortest route to the upper level. I promise these two things.”
It means that it will reduce the work that should take years to a few months without having to break through the complex 20th floor one by one.
“I’ll see you soon in the Empire.”
＊＊＊
[Employees of Koinmul Corporation. Good afternoon everyone. In the meantime, we haven’t had time to see each other’s faces because we’ve been working hard, but we’ve prepared a small place for unity this time, so all those who received an invitation are invited to attend.] [Location: Theme park located on the 1st floor of the Tower of Trials / Time:
Afternoon By 3 o’clock.]
A polite invitation has been delivered.
However, due to various restrictions, the members who came to the meeting place were somewhat confused.
First of all, Kim Hee-woong, who was in charge of the Black Crow Guild, Andrea, who was in charge of the psychiatric ward, and Melena, who was in charge of the Mine Association, could not attend.
Instead, Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa were there.
Of course, it was a bonus that Alice, who was clinging like gum, and Wol-yeong, who was hiding in the shadows, joined.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park.”
Theresa looked around with a childish look on her face.
Located in the center of the Tower of Trials, the theme park boasted an enormous scale that was incomparable to Disneyland.
In fact, quite a lot of people gathered here to relieve the accumulated stress of climbing the tower.
“Is this what it’s like to call a busy person?”
Chun Yu-seong did not hide his displeasure.
hmm.
Even though it looks strangely uplifting.
While grumbling in words, I want to hear a serious explanation as to why the eyes are fixed on the roller coaster.
Seriously, why are you holding a coin equivalent to the price of the free pass in your other hand?
“If there’s anything you want to say, say it. Don’t make that face like a puppy that’s hungry.”
“Yeah. There’s something I want to say. I’ll put up with it because I’m afraid I’ll get stabbed at the amusement park.”
“What does that mean?”
“I don’t mean anything different. I just want to keep the peace of the long-awaited company unity competition.”
If the image of a medical student wielding a longsword even makes it onto the Crucible Tower community, that’s pretty embarrassing.
It’s even more difficult for a video titled ‘The reality of Korea University’s sword master.avi’ to roam the Internet.
Jinhyuk shook his head quietly.
Right then.
back.
Ellis, who was next to him, pulled on Jinhyeok’s sleeve.
“Human. I want to eat that. Quickly. Quickly.”
Ellis pointed to the large cotton candy and gulped down.
If they don’t buy it, they’re ready to turn the entire amusement park into ruins.
It’s very cumbersome to serve this bastard’s queen.
At the first general meeting of shareholders, there were only employees who listened well and were
quiet.
“Cotton candy, hot dogs, beaded ice cream… Just give me one of each kind here.”
Since it happened like this, I was thinking of shooting it to relieve the stress that had accumulated over the years.
‘I got 500,000 coins by attacking the 2nd floor, so I guess I can afford this extravagance.’
In addition, as the number of views of uploaded videos is steadily increasing, the emptied balance will fill up more thickly than before.
Above all, Ellis was a card of conversion that could be used in endless content in the future.
With that in mind, the coin I am using right now felt like a pittance.
＊＊＊
For the next 6 hours, the party rode various rides, ate delicious food, and enjoyed a long-awaited, sweet break to their heart’s content.
Not to mention Teresa, who grew up in strict manners, and Cheon Yoo-seong, who has a blunt personality.
Alice, who had never been to such a place, was about to lose her voice from screaming so hard.
“Shall we go back now?”
Seeing that the sun had gone down, Theresa suggested that they disperse.
It was almost closing time, so it meant that we should stop going back now.
but.
“No. What if I go already?”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders with a strange smile.
“Yes? Are there still more?”
“Sure. Not yet. There is one most important place left
. ”
Jinhyeok pointed to the innermost part of the amusement park.
He saw a door that was hidden behind a splendid view
. It was a door
to
climb
.
