Episode 239. The great explorer ‘Pesis’
Numerous residents of the Tower of Trials.
Among them, some especially remained in Jinhyeok’s memory.
Elise of the Ataraxia family or Rick Hennessy, the middle manager, Dark Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Church were representative examples.
And the man in front of him now was no less a person than them.
Great explorer Pesis.
‘Aside from me and the Godheads, he’s the one who knows the most about the Tower of Trials.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
It looked like he was looking at a tree, but in fact, Phesis’ main purpose wasn’t that kind of thing.
it’s waiting
Players who exert a great influence on the tower.
To be more precise…
‘To talk to me.’
Pretending not to know, Jinhyeok took off his pretense and approached Pesis.
“Are you researching Isthrian saplings?”
“Oh! Do you know about the Isrian sapling?”
“It is a tree that is the raw material of the juice that cures one of the incurable diseases, ‘sarcoma cancer.’
“Yeah. Ha ha ha. It’s amazing to see someone else in such a remote area, but the knowledge you have is even more amazing. Yes. That’s why I was looking at this sapling.”
No matter what.
“That’s strange. If it’s for curative purposes, Mr. Pesis probably knows that you can’t make a cure with a seedling this size, right?”
At Jinhyeok’s words, Pesis’s mouth opened wide.
I can’t help but feel frustrated.
Because he had an accurate insight into the value of the saplings he had chosen to draw attention to.
In addition, his real name came out, so it was like Pesis had sewn the first button completely wrong.
“Hahaha. You’re a much more fun person than I thought. Indeed, it was worth the wait. Player Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Did he realize that there was no need for clumsy acting?
Pesis let out a good laugh.
‘Yes, I’m glad to meet you too.’
Jinhyeok, who smiled brightly, activated the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
Tring!
A status window with the details of the opponent appeared along with a cheerful voice.

—————————————————
[Copy condition: Pesis receiving attention from numerous deities is the tower’s explorer and at the same time a messenger who spreads the tower’s news. To copy Pesis’ ability, you must clear both conditions.
1. Please listen to Pesis’ ‘request’ in a moment.
2. In order to recruit Pesis as a colleague, you need to show how good you are to your current co-workers. Continue to emphasize teamwork and boost morale. When a certain level of satisfaction is met, you will be able to catch both of the birds of copying abilities and recruiting colleagues.
‘I think I’m doing pretty well… The system is profound. There must be something different from humans.’
Jinhyeok tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the status window.
The first thing that caught my eye was, of course, the unique ability part.
Pesis’ unique ability, ‘Stair Floating’, has a fraudulent feature that allows it to freely cross each floor only under the 41st floor.
This means that you don’t have to deal with a boss monster or meet certain conditions to move on to the next floor.
However, it could not be seen as just good, and those who had this ability also had a fatal flaw in that they had to give up all skills related to combat ability.
‘I guess I should just enjoy exploring the tower purely, regardless of the battle.’
Still, there is no need to be disappointed.
I couldn’t copy the unique ability, but there were some skills that could be used.
‘Let’s see…’
Jinhyeok licked his lips.
Skill ‘Synergy’.
It is a passive skill that increases stats by 10% when two or more skills are used at the same time.
‘It’s a must-have skill for a multi-skill user like me. I have to get this unconditionally.’
pounding! pounding! pounding!
My heart was beating fast at the thought of shooting the already improved skills.
Above all, it was most thrilling to copy the abilities that others cherished day by day.
good.
I had a rough script in my head about what to do.
“So, for what reason were you waiting for us?”
“Haha… I didn’t mean it badly. Actually, I had something to do with meeting some of the top players and residents. Jinhyeok-nim is the fifth guest we met this week.”
An explorer whose main purpose is to roam the tower… meet people.
this is quite surprising
Perhaps the request the system said is related to this.
“What kind of guest are you?”
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
OK.
“Ranking of the tower.”
Pesis said something unexpected.
“…A top ranking?”
“Yes. As you know, there is no scale to compare the ranks between the many residents of the Tower of Trials and the players who have now joined outside the Tower. Officially, at least.”
Even in the Tower of Trials in the past, only the highest rankers were vaguely weighed, but the exact ranking was not grasped.
However, now that it has become a reality, a new standard is about to be created.
right by the system.
‘It’s fun. Is this a different point?’
I graduated from ranking games a long time ago, but this one is quite interesting.
The value of the influence that the rank means, not simply the rank converted into numbers.
That will serve as a huge factor in climbing the tower in the future.
‘Since it’s related to the system and deities, the higher the ranking, the more benefits will be given.’
Raising the popularity of the base currently occupied and strengthening defense facilities, etc.
Even when negotiating with residents, such as giving weight to remarks.
“If so, it must have been waiting for us to figure out the ranking.”
“Haha. That was a big part. In fact, aren’t the members of the ‘Goinmul Corporation’ led by Jinhyeok very competitive? I thought I had to meet them to fill the empty part of the rankings.”
“Although we are a minority of elites… so what do we need to do to participate in that ranking?”
“Oh! Are you saying you’re cooperating with the investigation?”
“Of course I have to.”
To achieve the first copying condition, you have to do the favor anyway.
Of course, there is no need to reduce Pesis’ favorability by saying that fact.
‘Because you are destined to be forced to join our company.’
And right at that moment.
[Members of the small and medium faction ‘Goinmul Corporation’ have been incorporated into the ranking measurement.] [The ones who have been incorporated into the rankings are
Kang Jin-hyeok, Ellis von Ataraxia 5th floor boss monster, Andrea Chun Yu-seong ???(Sweet Potato) Teresa de Laurencia. ]
A blue status window appeared.
Apart from Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, Wol-young, T-Bone, and the five spirits also did not make it into the rankings.
I didn’t see the names of Melena or Dwarf blacksmith Orun, who were at the executive level in the Mine Association.
How high are the replacement standards?
Jinhyeok was dumbfounded, but Pesis spewed exclamations as if he were excited.
“Wow, that’s amazing. I never thought so many people would be included in the rankings! I’ve met a lot of people lately, but this is the first time I’ve seen a group with members like this.”
“Are there many?”
“Of course, there are a lot of them! The ranks that can be included in the rankings are up to the 1,000th. It’s amazing, especially since there aren’t that many players who make it into the rankings.”
Pesis, who was talking urgently, added a word.
“Of course, rankings do not mean combat power as various other factors such as achievements and influence come into play, but except for a few special cases, it can be regarded as generally in direct proportion.”
If that’s the case…
it must mean that the ‘guys’ on the 50th floor of the tower are also in the rankings.
Seeing that Pesis also doesn’t know everything perfectly, it would be correct to say that the system manages the whole thing.
It was then.
“What’s taking so long? Did you even know someone?”
“mosquito!”
Alice and Sweet Potato, who had been waiting behind, approached.
Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa, who was the furthest behind, also looked at Jin-hyeok and Pesis alternately with curious eyes.
“Ah, sorry. It’s been a long time since I had something interesting. Take a look at it while you’re here. They say this is the newest system.”
Jinhyeok gestured his chin toward the air.
“Huh? What is it?”
“mosquito?”
“Ranking…?”
“Wow. That’s amazing.”
Everyone’s eyes turned upward.
＊＊＊
[???Sweet Potato (28th) Alice von Ataraxia (29th) Kang Jin-hyeok (117th) Teresa de Laurencia (231st) Chun Yoo-seong (688th) Andrea (815th)] [Depending on various
variables There may be some parts that the system cannot figure out due to errors.]
[Reliability 97.85%]
“Wait a minute! Are you kidding me?”
Elise immediately raised her hand high.
“What’s strange about it? It looks just right to me.”
“Reasonable! What the hell is appropriate! Why am I ranked lower than that stupid reptile?”
As if she could never understand it, Elise started to run wild.
“mosquito!”
On the other hand, sweet potato, which received a high ranking, waved its tail gently in Jinhyeok’s arms with a proud expression.
“That’s right, sweet potatoes are strong when they manifest as their main body. You know about ancient species, right?”
“So, what about me?”
“You were like that in your prime. That means you’re not quite like that now.”
What would you say if I told you a story about the days when tigers smoked cigarettes?
Not now.
“That’s it… but I’m quite useful too. If I do it right, I can do better than that sea anemone guy.”
“I know. What made you feel so intimidated. Not like you.”
Jinhyeok lightly placed his hand on Alice’s head.
For a moment, I had the illusion that Ellis had calmed down.
“I’m secretly ranked high.”
“Teresa… when she ‘fallen’, isn’t it that the rate of increase was quite high?”
“ah… It’s because of him…”
Theresa bowed her head shyly.
It seemed that it was still difficult for her to accept the blackened version, which had a completely different personality from her own. I
understand
. Because it was about the degree.
The person involved must feel like facing a dark history every moment.
Finally, Chun
Yoo-seong also showed his molars and growled lowly. “The gap between me
and you can’t be this wide .” You said you didn’t know if you could beat me, but have you completely forgotten about it already?” ”
I never said that.”
Wow… Does this kid carry an eraser in his head?
Seriously, how did he get through medical school with that hair ? No matter how I look at it,
it seems more realistic to put a knife in the neck of the CSAT supervisor…
“It’s done. let me speak I’m an idiot for trying to get you to wear a monk’s robe.”
“Hmph.”
Chun Yoo-seong turned away coldly.
“As expected, the atmosphere between Jin-hyeok-nim and his colleagues is good.” ”
Does this look good?”
It’s only possible between people you can trust.”
Pesis smiled and stretched.
“Then, let’s hurry up. We shouldn’t lose the lead role of the deceased person corporation to them because we arrived too late.”
“To think it was stolen… Is anyone else coming besides us?”
“Didn’t you know? At the banquet being held at the palace, other factions besides Jinhyeok were invited.”
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed at Pesis’ words.
“Another faction… can’t it?”
“Yes. The last demon, Valmariel. Those who eliminated him are now heading to the imperial palace. Perhaps Jinhyeok-nim has also heard of the name ‘Gandara’.”
