Episode 492. 32nd floor ‘Thunderbolt Plateau’ (2)
‘What are these guys?’
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the right.
A group of men and women who appeared to be in their mid-to-late 20s were standing there.
Hesitating to see if there is something to say.
“That…”
Kang Soo-ah opened her mouth as the representative.
“What happened?”
“My name is Suah Kang from the Prime Service Guild. Mainly chasing issues that become issues in the Tower of Trials, I was really impressed by Kang Jin-hyeok Flair’s performance. I just came to see you in person like this.”
“Huh…”
Jinhyeok’s nose went up slightly.
“There are rumors that he has a good-looking face, excellent skills, and that he takes care of his colleagues so frugally. I am a huge fan!”
“Hoooh…”
The raised nose looked like it would pierce the sky.
“I don’t mind. I never thought the rumors would spread like that. Did you buy it with back money?”
Chun Youseong clicked his tongue.
“Kuhm! greatness! You came to know me very well. So is there anything I need help with?”
“yes! It’s nothing else, I want to go with player Kang Jin-hyeok in this raid. Could it be… is it possible?”
Kang Soo-ah hurriedly added a word.
“Of course, the ownership of the by-products, etc., belongs to player Kang Jin-hyeok, and later, we will give you half of the video ad revenue for the edited version of ViewTube.”
for a moment.
What about advertising revenue?
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
This is not a very bad condition.
Unlike other places, the prime service received ‘fortune-telling’ as advertising revenue from the beginning of the contract.
Considering that it was impossible to obtain iron ore even with money due to various reinforcements, it was a proposal that could not help but be tempted.
Especially now, when we have to strengthen ‘Napoleon’s Coronation’ through Orun.
“That’s the stupidest thing in life… yup yup!”
Jinhyeok blocked Cheon Yooseong’s mouth as he tried to speak.
At most, new slaves come voluntarily, so there’s no reason to stop them.
It is human nature to put pumpkins that have come in whole vines into your pockets.
“It doesn’t matter to us, but the road will be a bit rough, will it be okay?”
“sure! Since then, I have experience in clearing 15 dungeons, 3 labyrinths, and 1 ruin!”
“That wouldn’t be too bad. But everything is good, but the proportions are a bit…”
“Yes? A ratio?”
“I think 5:5 is a bit small.”
“This is national rule, but by any chance, to what extent…?”
“Whoa…that’s it.”
Jinhyuk naturally let out a deep sigh.
But just then
Tring!
[A new skill is opened due to the amazing acting skills and the habit of cheating.]
[Sigh]
Difficulty to obtain: C
Description: Bargaining power increases by +30% when negotiating deals. You can shake the mentality of the target, and the stats increase as the depth and length of the sigh change.
[Acquired abilities are stored in the ‘Memory of the World’.]
Skills can be acquired through skill books or special quests.
‘You got it this way?’
After meeting Rick Hennessy a few times, it seems that something similar to the copy condition has been met.
Not by cheating others as if they were breathing.
…never.
[Lv1 ‘Sigh’ skill is activated.]
The skill was activated and Jinhyeok sighed once more.
Whoa.
A sigh flowed out that was on a different level than before, as if it was really shaving off raw flesh.
An elderly mother at home and a little brother who is hungry.
And it was a heavy sigh, like that of a boy who has to feed them.
“In fact, the risk we have to take in this raid is not normal. It’s not that I’m ignoring Mr. Sua Kang and the members of the Prime Service Guild, it’s just that it’s a dangerous place. Besides, we decided to do it together, but if there was a loss of life, our names could be damaged.”
“That… is true. Then how about 6 vs 4?”
“If you always sharpen your senses, be alert to your surroundings, and guide the routes hidden on these stairs, this is another 24-hour fatigue. Even more so, if you have a high-quality workforce, the pay will be even greater.”
“7 7 vs. 3…”
He gave 70%
“I’m fine, but Yuseong next to me says he’s not okay. Isn’t that the key… No Yooseong?”
“Damn it. If you call me by that title one more time, I will cut you off.”
“look. There are a lot of complaints.”
“Ha, I see. 8 to 2. Absolutely no more.”
Normally, I would have compromised to this extent.
Because it was almost a forced condition.
but.
“I would like to, but I think I will have to pay 10% more due to inflation, burden of labor costs, and rising raw material prices. Let’s finish clean with 9 to 1. Since I’m a member of the Prime Guild, I’m giving a special 10%. In fact, there is nothing left except for this and that. Whew.”
“Inflation happened in the middle of a big conversation?”
“Because the Tower of Trials is a place where the economic situation changes rapidly.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
Sua Kang’s lips twitched, but she didn’t adjust her proportions anymore.
“I can’t help it. Please take good care of me.”
“sure. Without credit, I am a corpse.”
[A contract has been signed between the Goinmul Corporation and the Prime Service Guild.]
9 to 1 is ridiculous, but it’s not bad business.
Because I was able to get the value of the name of the deceased person corporation.
‘This isn’t bad enough.’
Because of that, Kang Soo-ah could not see it.
The twisted smile on Jinhyeok’s lips.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
[You have entered the 32nd floor of the Tower of Trials.]
Shoot ahhh…
As soon as you entered the 32nd floor, a cool breeze brushed your skin.
Rather thin air and barren environment.
This is the ‘Thunderbolt Plateau’ that announces the beginning of the 32nd floor.
“Wow, this is what it looks like. It is really spectacular.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to have a good look. ah! My name is ‘Jonathan’, a Ranger from the Prime Service Guild.”
“My name is the distance dealer ‘Romanowski’. I wish you well. ha ha ha.”
“The tank position ‘Ahn Il-man’. I know he’s a famous person, but I’m the kind of person who has to see it with my own eyes to understand it…”
“My name is ‘Sandra’, a healer. It’s still not enough, but I’ll do my best to treat you.”
A total of five including Kang Soo-ah.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one.
‘Prime service…’
‘Eye of gluttony’ penetrated the four people.
I’ve listened to it a few times lately, but this member is quite interesting.
One out of five seemed to be quite far from being a View Tuber.
‘This will be more fun than I thought, but it’s not just taking tourists.’
The sour bitterness stung the tip of my nose.
I feel like the back of my head is going to tingle…
but anyway, a temporary raid was organized with these members.
“From here on, you have to be careful because lightning strikes with a certain probability.”
Jinhyeok picked up one of the stones that had fallen on the floor.
It was the kind that had a blue light among a few of the innumerable ones.
Right then.
Parts!
A huge lightning bolt fell from the sky.
In an instant, the stone was charred black.
Flaw! Pachichik…
But a stone the size of a palm absorbed all of that gigantic lightning.
Jinhyeok, who was holding the stone, was not hurt.
“Three Gods…”
“Such powerful lightning fell from the start.”
“It is terrifying. Is this why the Eagle Children suffered like that?”
The facial expressions of those who were watching changed 180 degrees.
‘It really was a more dangerous place than I thought, right?’
Kang Soo-ah also muttered with a hard face.
The anticipation and excitement I felt when I first came here had completely disappeared.
“How did you know that stone blocks lightning?”
Romanowski asked in a slightly suspicious tone.
Well, it’s been a few days since the 32nd floor was opened.
It may seem suspicious that you already know these conditions.
But what makes the Tower of Trials so convenient… is that you can come up with any number of excuses for these things.
“I have been to similar ruins before. There, too, the attack was carried out in a similar way. If you go to the 27th floor, Storm Coast, these tips will be helpful.”
“Ah… I see.”
“I heard that there is no place you haven’t been to. That’s awesome.”
Everyone burst into exclamation.
Only one.
Except for the deity who is hiding around here.
[The deity ‘Crying Thunder’ looks bewildered.]
[He asks if all the credit is due to him.]
Jinhyeok heard the deity’s grumbling in his head.
In fact, it wasn’t stones that absorbed the lightning, it was Thor’s ability, the god of thunder.
It would be impossible to block lightning even if you were holding a stone with a slightly unusual shape.
‘Of course I don’t have to tell you that fact.’
Jinhyeok looked at the group diligently searching for the fallen stone.
Even Chun Yoo-seong was picking out the stones, pretending not to see.
Where can I find Baeknal?
Does it eat seeds?
‘The only chance for you guys to be sane is to listen to me carefully.’
In particular, obedient children will be considerate so that both the outside and the inside do not become crispy.
Except for those who speak rudely or harbor impure thoughts.
“For now, let’s try to find a place that can be used as a base. Chun Yoo-seong will do the scouting first, so in the meantime, all you have to do is collect as many uniquely shaped stones as you can.”
“Are you asking me to do some reconnaissance?”
“Uh huh. It looks like our key is very oily in the belly. How can you make me eat grassroots porridge tonight?”
“… I have only presented my personal opinion once. I will scout hard and come back.”
Chun Yuseong mumbled and left.
The rest of the people also moved to find their own role to play.
When he was left alone like that, Jinhyeok opened his mouth to the air.
“Thanks to that, I was able to get off the start cleanly.”
Parts…
The space shuddered and a large man appeared.
In Norse mythology, a deity responsible for power.
It was Thor, the Lord of Thunder.
“Kuhm! They say they found a way to bring Yggdrasil back to life, but can they not come? In addition, thanks to the provision of a shelter on the side of the Egyptians, they are relatively safe. If you received a favor, it is your duty to repay it.”
“Is the pursuit still fierce on the Olympus side?”
“Because you know very well that you shouldn’t leave any regrets.”
Certainly…
those tenacious and cruel bastards can’t miss this opportunity.
For the time being, Anubis will protect you, so you can manage to hold on, but…
It’s just a temporary measure anyway.
To find a fundamental solution, making Yggdrasil regrow is essential.
“If you find all the ingredients, you should be able to germinate the seeds.”
“I hope that is true. But…”
Thor, who was talking, looked at Jinhyeok.
It’s like I’m missing something.
Or, it seemed to ask if he was deliberately ignoring it even though he knew it.
Jinhyuk immediately answered that question.
“As for the rats, I was also vaguely aware of them. But somehow, I packaged it properly. It only recognizes its existence because of its body odor. It is not specific.”
“As expected, you noticed. It’s definitely as you said.”
Thor nodded.
“One out of five people over there is not human.”
Sophistication that does not get caught in the ‘eyes of gluttony’.
An unusual third being is participating as an engineering member.
covered in human skin.
