027. Preoccupation (2)
165 million won.
An amount of money that a mere aspiring hunter could not have dared to imagine was put into the bank account.
Even though I became strong through all kinds of trials in the Tower of Trials, I am also a human being.
He forgot to take care of his expression and raised the corner of his mouth in an instant.
The things I could do with this money momentarily filled my brain.
‘…Then what are you doing? It’s money that will come out soon.’
Soon after I came to my senses, I began to regain my composure.
It was not for nothing that they were preoccupied and sold items at high prices.
There are things to experiment about the Tower of Trials, and it wasn’t good to be obsessed with money.
Thinking of that, the corners of his mouth, which had risen steeply, quickly flattened.
“Deposit confirmed.”
Contrary to his excitement, his voice didn’t waver in the slightest.
“Then I’ll take care of the things now.”
The female employee responded and immediately retrieved the items that were on the table.
Although it was a bit of a waste, these were items that could not be used on higher floors.
“I would appreciate it if you would listen again next time.”
“Yes then.”
I came out of the store with my regrets neatly folded and started looking at other stores.
Because I had a question.
The Tower of Trials system made it possible to bring items purchased inside to the outside.
Then, in the opposite case, I would like to take the items I bought outside and bring them inside.
It’s still speculation, but it might be possible to take it with you.
Of course, this is not an unfounded speculation.
‘If I could bring the equipment, I would have made it possible to bring it back.’
However, the question was whether the equipment bought outside the Tower of Trials could be used.
So I’m trying to figure it out from now on.
“If you make money, you have to spend it.”
Looking at the stores scattered around the Hunter Market, I smiled bitterly.
Now it was my turn to spend the money I earned.
***
“Croken Magic Tower Restoration Box”
“Grade: D+”
“Magic Engineering Items for repair developed by the Croken Magic Tower, once called the Magic Tower of Geeks.
” It can be restored to its shape.」
「The items put inside the tier must fit the size of the box and can only repair one.」 「
And due to use restrictions, repairs can only be made once.」
「Purity Stone」
「Rating: E-」
「Injecting magic power cleans the user’s body and all equipment on her body.」
「However, items with special effects cannot be removed with the Cleansing Stone.」
「Cooldown is 3 hours.」
after returning to the room.
I looked around the Hunter Market and looked at the two items I had purchased.
It was the result of a careful selection of only those that were thought to be effective if used in the Tower of Trials.
‘The Restoration Box of Croken’s Tower and the Stone of Cleanliness.’
I thought it was pretty good for the equipment I bought at 97 million won.
The restoration box of Croken’s Tower was D+ grade.
Even though the stone of cleanliness is E-class, it is obviously an important item when in the tower.
‘It’s probably more so in the Tower of Trials, where washing isn’t a requirement.’
Once I got rid of the stench, I realized how terrible the smell was.
Even if you spend some money, if you can keep the minimum cleanliness, it’s good to keep it.
“To be able to lose 100 million won just by buying two things…”
To be honest, I was about to laugh, but it was a choice I couldn’t help.
Because this was the only practical item that could be used in the Tower of Trials.
‘To be precise, they were items that could be selected within 100 million won.’
It was important to leave a certain amount of extra money, so I chose only that amount.
Just because you enter the Tower of Trials doesn’t mean you won’t come back to Earth.
‘To maintain my hunter qualifications, I have to hunt twice a year.’
A-class hunters may not retire, even with honorary positions, but not below.
Unless it is a special case, such as belonging to the Hunter Association, if you do not continue your hunter activities, you will be subject to forced retirement.
In any case, the hunter is a job to deal with gates and monsters.
If you don’t have a practical activity record, it’s natural that you won’t see the benefits as a hunter.
‘Of course, I don’t think that’s the only reason he’s coming back, but…’
Right now, it’s better to focus on the Tower of Trials rather than reality.
The Tower of Trials, which will be returning soon, still has trials left behind.
To reach that place on the 8th floor, you have to go through three more trials.
Now that permanent return is restricted, the Tower of Trials is the most important thing.
Having made that decision, I sat down on the chair in front of the computer and stared blankly at the ceiling.
I’ve done everything I need to do, there’s only one problem left. ‘The question is, can I take
these
things to the tower like I thought?
There’s nothing you can do about it right now, so all that’s left is to wait for the time to return to the tower.
‘I’ll be back tomorrow anyway, so there’s nothing to worry about.’
For now, it was decided to resume gathering information.
It was because I thought that something new information might have been updated since this much time had passed.
clack clack.
I was in the middle of looking for information related to the ‘Tower of Trials’ on the Internet.
“…what is this again?”
“Have any of you ever been to the Tower of Trials?”
He paused at the newly updated post on the community used by the hunters.
What is this madman
‘The guy who solves the information about the 4th floor ordeal, and this guy too…’
There are quite a few guys who seem to have a screw missing somewhere.
I wonder what your thoughts are when you lightly write about the Tower of Trials.
Now wasn’t the time to question that.
Click.
「Author – I’m a former Class D Hunter
.」 It’s urgent.”
As soon as I read the text, I was able to confirm that it wasn’t a lie.
A challenger on the 5th floor or higher who knows about Hearthstone.
I don’t know what the difficulty level is, but it was interesting content.
‘I’m more curious about what he was thinking when he posted it.’
I quickly scrolled down because the interest level rose rapidly.
“I was able to hold on to the 4th and 5th floors. The 6th floor ordeal is also an integrated ordeal, so I’m
anxious
and going crazy.
”
In other words, it was a challenger who stayed on the same level of difficulty as me.
‘Is the trial on the 6th floor already approaching…’
How short was the ordeal on the 5th floor, so I wondered if it was already the 6th floor.
After putting that question in my mind for a while, I scrolled down again.
drooling drooling.
“The fuckin’ administrators, if you keep asking questions, they only answer little by little.” “
In the waiting room on the 4th and 6th floors, ‘that bastard’ sloppily solved information about the integration ordeal, so the community is now, as you know, fighting their way out.
” It’s the same as asking everyone to die.”
“Guys like us have to share information to increase our chances of surviving
.
”
Now I feel like I’m getting a little bit of a sense of the situation.
‘Just as information about the integration ordeal was spread in the waiting room on the 4th floor, it seems that information has been released in the waiting room on the 6th floor as well.’
The challenger called ‘that bastard’ referred to in the article must be the guy you saw on the 4th floor.
Surprisingly, I was able to get quite a bit of information.
‘The guy I saw on the 4th floor is a brawler, and the trials on the 6th floor are integration trials.’
And the author even knew that he was a low-level challenger who had used up the question area.
Of course, I had no intention of responding to the message to share information.
‘Because there’s no information to share, and there’s no need to.’
I was designated as 16th in the 4th floor trial settlement, so I belong to a high-ranking challenger.
And since I haven’t used the question ticket so far, it’s accumulated.
However, there was no reason to take a clumsy approach and create useless variables.
It was then.
“Dancing with the Goblins – Are you mentally ill? What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
Even though the post was created right away, the number of comments started to increase, as if it attracted aggro.
「Modern Orcs – Actually, there are quite a few retired hunters who suffer from mental illness.」
「Salary Lupine – Ah, I am also a D-class hunter, but if I make a mistake, I will get mental illness like this guy. It’s a bit scary.”
“Hunter playing Jeonggong Game – Tower of Trials or Challenger, don’t talk nonsense and go play a game, man with a mental illness.
”
‘Well, there’s no way I’ll be able to answer a
post like this right away…’ Me too. Can we have a one-on-one conversation? I’m on a hard level too.」
「Dodakbung – ㄹㅇ Empathy comes ha. Can I talk to you? I have information. Let’s get together with the challengers of the same difficulty level.”
“…Yes.”
It was revealed in the article that everyone was nervous, probably because they were driven to the edge of a cliff.
Anyway, it was surprising that the low-ranking challengers also returned.
‘If I was that anxious, I could have just practiced in the tower and then challenged the trials.’
I couldn’t understand why he returned while spending so many points.
Of course, I don’t know the details, so it’s not good to jump to conclusions.
‘Anyway, the number of returnees is starting to increase.’
Seeing as if he had finished the 5th floor ordeal, there was a strong possibility that he had just returned.
That meant that more and more official information about the Tower of Trials was increasing.
“It’s fortunate that I returned faster than others to preempt it.”
If not, it will get you into trouble later.
Satisfied with the quick return, I searched the Internet further and came up with something more.
“Everyone, do you know about the dungeon called the Tower of Trials?”
“All civilians, be careful not to be dragged into the Tower of Trials.”
“Looking for challengers to form a team in the Tower of Trials.”
More information than you think is being released.
There were even warning messages posted to see if there were any returnees among the general public.
‘Well, among the difficulties, there was also an easy one, so of course it will appear soon.’
At the same time, there were those who were interested in the Tower of Trials.
“What the hell is the Tower of Trial about? It’s this guy and that guy and
it’s all about tower tower tower .” It was easy to predict
that
the Tower of Trials would soon appear on the surface of the water.
‘I don’t know what effect this will have…’
One thing I can be sure of.
That means you have to go back to the Tower of Trials and go up to a higher floor.
That way, I would have been able to know more about the situation.
‘The 6th floor is an integrated ordeal, and the 5th floor is an individual ordeal
.
But for some reason, that fact came as less shocking than I thought.
‘If I have to fight, I’ll just fight.’
Rather, it makes you wonder about the reward you will get when you fight and win.
I don’t know if it’s because he killed a person once or because he over-adapted to the tower.
It seemed that he now understood what it meant to adapt to the tower.
‘It must mean that I’m used to the struggle and the rewards given at the end of that struggle.’
It was obviously a human being with a screw missing somewhere, but it wasn’t bad.
That would be the case, at least until the eighth floor was reached.
“It’s the 8th floor…”
It was the intention to use the collected question tickets the moment the Tower of Trials exclusive system was expanded again.
After that, you’ll know more about the Tower of Trials than before.
so.
“First of all, we must thoroughly prepare for the trials of the tower.”
For now, all you have to do is overcome the ordeal without change.
