033. Conquest War (2)
Confusion.
A scene that matched the words unfolded right in front of my eyes.
Every chat that comes up shows off its grotesqueness to the fullest…
I felt creepy in the situation where words like murder and plunder came and went easily.
“…”
I can’t even guess what the hell happened to make it look like this.
The chat was updated even while I was standing in a daze because I was dumbfounded.
-Dark Knight: Looking for achievements related to murder or how to acquire resistance skills.
-Citrus Jjambbong: Stop looking for achievements related to fucking murder, you bastards. You’re not even human, you bastards.
-Dark Knight: Fuck you, he’s not going to give you a trial instead of you, but he’s giggling.
-I want to eat Choco Pie: If you went through the 4th floor ordeal, you would have committed murder, but why are you pretending to be clean?
-Orange Mushroom: So lol I’m looking for a murder achievement to survive, but who knows what I like?
-There’s a space behind the pillar: The murder achievement is the most efficient, so I’m not sure?
-I don’t know: Maybe he’s a bastard who didn’t even get blood on his hands while riding the bus on the 4th floor.
-Citrus jjamppong: How are you going to have a conversation with these crazy bastards?
-Hunting Addiction: Haha Even in the integrated ordeal on the 6th floor, you must kill unconditionally, but it’s better to get some achievements.
Not normal.
Since killing cannot be avoided, achieving related achievements is said to be efficient, but that is a matter before efficiency.
“It’s just that everyone thinks they’re at the level of a serial killer.”
I frowned as I watched the ensuing chat.
Of course, I can see what they are thinking about trading achievements related to murder.
The trials on the 6th floor must be about killing other challengers.
The achievements associated with it will be from the idea that you can make a big profit by selling it.
It would be difficult to sell other achievements, but if the Tower of Trials leads this fight, all the achievements related to murder will be revealed someday.
‘…No matter how high-ranked challengers are, this is serious.’
He went beyond harming others in order to survive.
If there is a benefit to be gained, it is an attitude as if it will be obtained no matter what.
Even encouraging others to do so, everyone is sharing things such as mental resistance and murder achievements.
That’s why I’m proudly spitting out that sound while only looking at efficiency.
“…Looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem like it’s time to talk about a challenger from the other world.”
I don’t think there’s anyone among them who would have met a challenger from the other world.
No, even if there is, it would be a loss to ask about this and that while pulling aggro.
‘Because there’s no worse situation than getting attention from crazy people.’
It would be convenient to just know the current situation.
– Frog: I just finished the 5th floor trial, what effect would it have if I learned the mental resistance skill?
-Hunting Addiction: Reduces the psychological impact of pain resistance or similar resistance skills. It’s less psychological pain.
-Orange Mushroom: If you have pain tolerance, you will suffer less psychological pain even when you commit acts such as murder, so it is easier to make rational decisions.
– Frog: Can you tell me about the pain reduction percentage of mental resistance?
-Dark Knight: F class is 10%, E class is 12%, D class is about 15%. That’s what I learned on my own.
– Frog: Oh, that’s right…. Thank you for your reply.
-Hunting Addiction: Let me know if you need Mental Resistance. I’ll teach you how to acquire skills at a low price.
-Dr. Cheokcheok: You’ll see a lot of things you won’t see in the future anyway, but there’s nothing wrong with getting mental resistance.
“I was wondering why they were selling mental resistance skills…”
They were appealing that people who are not familiar with murder or looting could be less shocked.
It was immediately clear why everyone in the community had suddenly become desensitized to murder and looting.
“It was because of mental resistance.”
The effect of reducing some of the mental shock is attractive, but it is a double-edged sword.
If you always drain mental pain with skills, there will be no problems.
‘Originally, I knew it was to the extent of relieving emotional shock and keeping cool.’
In the Tower of Trials, where you have to go through dozens of death ordeals, mental resistance is poison.
Apart from one’s will, all mental pain is reduced by skill.
Certainly, it may be attractive to those who are not strong in spirit, but if you use it for self-justification, it will not be very good.
The chats in front of you are the result.
I have no choice but to kill others for the 6th floor ordeal, so I will get achievements.
It was the people who were angry about not knowing what was wrong with it.
“…”
It seemed that he could finally see the dark side of the Tower of Trials.
For some, the Tower of Trials might have felt like a new opportunity.
For some, it came to me that the Tower of Trials was nothing more than taking away everything.
The remaining low-level challengers on the 5th floor were showing that reality.
‘I’m sure he didn’t know because he always entered right away when it was time to take on the challenge.’
Perhaps similar conversations were being repeated downstairs.
However, recognizing that fact, I neither harbored anger nor frowned at the Tower of Trials.
If the Tower of Trials hadn’t existed and the world had just rolled on…
‘I would have been worse off than the challengers over there.’
Even before the Tower of Trials existed, the world rolled along the same principle.
The winner gets everything and the loser loses everything.
The tower of trials simply appeared and the winners returned to the starting point.
So opportunities that would not have been given to me were given to me.
‘Then, is there anything more hesitating about?’
If I can become strong only by stepping on someone, I will gladly do so.
He no longer had pity or frowned at the other challengers.
– Frog: Is it possible to purchase the mental resistance skill learning method?
-Hunting Addiction: Yes, of course it is possible if you give me points.
– Orange Mushroom: There are achievements that go well with Mental Resistance, so if you have any ideas, please contact us!
-Dark Knight: Find an easy achievement for your next ordeal, whether it’s murder or something.
-Chief Yeti: Well, I just came to the 5th floor, can someone explain what this is going on?
Everyone is just a competitor, and it’s not my role to judge right from wrong.
I just watch.
What your competitors are preparing and how they will use it.
It’s easy to deal with when you know everything.
***
「Time remaining until the 6th floor trial – 1 hour 12 minutes」
Unlike the previous trials, there was not much to prepare for this time.
It was because he had already completed all of the tests on the performance of his skills and moving his body to adjust to his abilities.
In the past, I would have adapted to my abilities and would have trained more.
It was a level where I didn’t have to do that anymore.
‘Actually, if my senses are this sensitive, I can adapt right away to the rise in my ability level.’
It was time to end the groaning because I couldn’t adapt to my growing body’s ability.
Of course, I didn’t do anything in the meantime, but I also sought useful information.
-tkfdlsrhkd: Killing a teammate in the 4th floor ordeal earned the achievement ‘Traitor’. Strength increased by +1.
-Save me: For those with Mental Resistance, check out the achievements related to killing. This is a secret honey, so when you kill, even if you do something special, achievements accumulate.
-IiIiIIIiIIIi: If your teammates show a bit of troll disposition, just stab them in the back on the spot. that’s comfortable If you are still alive, you will only become an obstacle. It’s easier to build achievements that way.
-King Parasite: Did you know that you changed your name to ‘Hyedi Gongdu’, a kid who suddenly solved the ordeal information on the 4th floor?
-Gaerannamul: That bastard’s nickname is that? Because of that son of a bitch, it was useless to use the question ticket, but damn. If I meet you, I will kill you.
-A dog that barks when it sees a madman: Are you a suicidal person? Hyedi Gongdu’s settlement grade is B-class, and you are even D-class, so how are you going to kill him?
There were those who occasionally shared their achievements, and those who informed them of other people’s information.
To be honest, I didn’t have anything that would be of much help, but this was enough to be sure.
“No one can believe the ordeal on the 6th floor.”
Looking at the current community, I feel that there are a lot of crazy people.
Lee Seong-hoon, whom I met in the 4th floor ordeal, is at the level of a decent class.
I realized that I couldn’t trust my teammates and that the only person I could trust was myself.
And if there was any other income, it was about getting to know a person named ‘Hyedi Gongdu’.
‘Was it the challenger who suddenly ruined the community atmosphere in the waiting room on the 4th floor?’
It was information that I was able to find out because there seemed to be people who came up late from the 4th floor.
Of course, if I used the points, I could have gotten more detailed information
.
It was all the more so because there was only information that gave only personal gain.
Even if aggro is attracted, it will be difficult if the information is released like a challenger called ‘Hyedi Gongdu’.
“In many ways, it’s better not to chat.”
As I was doing this and that, the waiting time flowed steadily and eventually reached zero.
「Are you willing to accept the 6th floor test?」
A message asking if you would like to take the test came to mind and an option appeared along with it.
Of course, as before, when I clicked Accept, a portal appeared.
Whoa…!
「Enter the 6th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「Difficulty – Hard」
「The theme of the ordeal is ‘occupation’.」 「I
hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result after the penance he/she chose.」
A strange sight unfolded.
Chwa ah ah ah.
Waves rushing incessantly spread their presence to the ears.
“…ocean?”
「The trial on the 6th floor begins.」
「Remaining time – 50 minutes」
「Trial break condition – Occupy one of the base tiles in all directions within the remaining time」
「Trial failure condition – the death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time」
「 Trial Breakthrough Reward – Random Draw Box (B)」
「Trial Failure Penalty – Death」
In the middle of the wide sea that can be said to be vast.
It was a place formed by dozens, hundreds, thousands of tiles floating on the sea and sticking to each other.
It was then that I felt a bit of a head turn.
“…”
The 5th floor ordeal was a narrow cave, while the 6th floor ordeal was conducted in the sea.
That too, on top of the tiles floating in the middle of the sea.
‘It’s out of the blue, but it’s like the Tower of Trials.’
It was then.
Woo woo woo.
Portals opened here and there, and challengers emerged from them.
Then, a portal opens on the tile next to me, and a message pops up.
「Assignment of team members has been completed.」
「Collaborate with team members to overcome the ordeal.」
As in the 4th floor ordeal, the 6th floor ordeal seems to have team members.
‘It would be nice if it weren’t for a challenger like Lee Seong-hoon.’
It was the moment when I looked at the portal with that thought in mind.
Wedge love!
Suddenly, a golden blade came out of the portal and rushed right in front of me in an instant.
‘No crazy…!’
The expected challenger did not come out, and the blade soared, so I had no choice but to panic.
However, apart from being embarrassed, the body formed with overwhelming ability immediately reacted.
Tup.
He grabbed the golden blade with his bare hands and held on to it.
It was a feat that he was able to do when his durability reached 43.
It was confirmed in the waiting room that if you were careful not to grip the blade tightly, your hand would not be cut even with C-class items.
Therefore, I was confident that if it was a weapon for a challenger who stayed in the lower ranks, it would be fine even if I grabbed it with my bare hands.
“Uh huh?”
Hearing the embarrassing voice coming from beyond the portal, he calmly drew his sword.
After confirming that a man with a stupid expression came out of the portal, he moved the sword in his right hand.
Woowook!
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Traitor’.」
「Muscle strength increases by 1.」
I cursed at the message that popped up at the same time as blood welled up in the air.
“Damn it.”
The trial on the 6th floor was not smooth from the start.
