Episode 83. Great Magic Library (1)
[The main theme of the 5th floor is ‘escape’.]
The male player opened his mouth.
[Do you mean to start by being trapped somewhere?]
[Yes. Thanks to the disappearance of all the videos and records from the past, not much information remains, but we were able to reconstruct up to the 8th floor based on the memories of players who played the Tower of Trials at the time.] [Oh
. So many?]
[Ha ha. It’s all thanks to the dead players.]
“It’s funny that there are dead people up to the 8th floor. You have to go up to the 15th floor at least to enter the dead person axis.”
Taemin Lee, who was watching TV, clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.
“I know. But what can I do? Most people folded before the 8th floor. It’s amazing that we managed to uncover information even up to the 8th floor.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa also agreed with it.
“but. By our standards, the hurdles are too high for others.”
“If you look at it like this, I think preoccupying information is really big.”
“Isn’t that natural?”
The others added word by word.
Everyone’s face showed pride that they had experienced more than 15 floors of the tower.
Um…
Jinhyeok, who was watching that, scratched his cheek.
‘Should I save my words here?’
To everyone who was raising their noses, they had to see at least the tip of the tower to tell them that they were dead people.
Still, they are dear colleagues.
At least it won’t hurt your heart.
In particular, Chun Yu-seong was the kind of guy who would break the strings of reason if he was teased about being on the 20th floor.
‘I think about the mentality of the real team members. Even if I think about it, I’m a bastard.’
It was at that moment when Jinhyeok was nodding his head.
[…Then, can you tell me what type of escape to do?] [The
purpose of the 5th floor is to choose one of the places that are deadly to survival, such as a mental hospital, a gladiator field, a mine, and an uninhabited island, and escape from that place.]
[ It doesn’t look as hard as you think, does it? If you know the location in advance, can’t you prepare the attack in advance?]
The most important thing in escaping is information.
What characters will be in it?
What are the terrain and features like?
what can be used, etc.
If you know everything in advance, it means that there are many ways to prepare.
[Haha, it’s easy to think that way. But no. Since the location and composition of the 5th floor change every time, the advantage of the second round is also fading, and the nerf that seals the magical power is made. Rather, it will be the most difficult to capture so far.]
[Magic is sealed?]
[Yes. It seems to mean to clear it purely with your own strength.]
The environment is renewed every time you do it.
A nerf that seals unique abilities and skills.
Starting from the worst is the premise of this floor.
“It’s annoying that this floor is like this.”
“Whoa. I’ll have to be a little nervous for a while.”
“Ah, it was a floor that I didn’t even look at again after waking up once…”
A sigh came from here and there.
Everyone has to start at the bottom.
You must be thinking that way.
but only one.
Jinhyeokman was smiling leisurely.
You know.
How can I attack this floor as easily as possible?
And how to prepare for it.
＊＊＊
The next afternoon.
After recovering from fatigue at the hotel, Jinhyeok listed the rewards he got from defeating Pendariel.
‘Grade A Random Draw Box’.
‘Advanced skill enhancement book’.
‘Currency Exchange Fee 10% Discount Voucher’.
‘Entrance ticket to the Great Library of Magic’.
there are four like this
All of them were collected with only the real ones that had nothing to throw away.
I wanted to check right away, but before that.
“Status window.”
Jinhyeok activated his personal status window.
This is because you had to distribute the stat points you gained while leveling up.

——————————————————
Total of 7 including things that I forgot to look at the status window while hunting like crazy Raised the dog’s level.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Jinhyuk’s heart beat fast.
‘I thought I had grown through optimization in the past…’
It was an illusion.
Because now it was growing so fast that it couldn’t even compare to then.
‘haha. This is absurd.’
The actualized Tower of Trials clearly boasted a level of difficulty different from that of the game.
But more than that the difficulty has risen.
‘The breadth of my growth is much greater.’
Past experience and accumulated skills prove it.
how strong you have become.
Feeling a pleasant sense of exhilaration, Jinhyeok quickly distributed the accumulated 21 stats.
[Strength increases from 16 → 19]
[Agility increases from 16 → 19]
[Stamina increases from 16 → 19]
[Magic increases from 62 to 74]
After all, the most important thing is magic power .
When he raised 12 stats at once, he felt the flow of magical power spreading throughout his body much smoother.
good.
Then…
Jinhyeok picked up the ‘Advanced Skill Enhancement Book’.
An item that raises skills of Lv10 or higher by one level, and raises a skill level of Lv10 or lower by a whopping three levels.
Considering how difficult it was to raise the skill level, the value of this scroll was something that could not be converted into money or coins.
And, of course, I already thought about which skills to strengthen.
‘Not only for the 5th floor, but also for the future, the most important thing to develop is glacial molding.’
An all-purpose skill that can be used in various situations as well as attack and defense.
If I had to choose just one, this would definitely be my top priority.
Whoa!
The scroll disappeared with the bright light.
at the same time.
[‘Glacial Formation’ has been upgraded to Lv8.]
Parts…!
A cool aura spread throughout the hotel.
“what? Do you think it suddenly got cold? Did you turn on the air conditioner?”
“What kind of air conditioner is it in late autumn? shit. Besides, this isn’t an air conditioner, it’s almost like a freezer.”
“There seems to be something wrong with the central air-conditioning system…”
“Solve it quickly so the guests don’t feel uncomfortable. If you catch a cold and complain, we’ll all be hated!”
Jin-hyeok didn’t know, but the hotel staff had to move busily to find the cause for a while.
In the meantime, Jinhyeok, who strengthened his skills, picked up the golden box lying on the bed.
A-rank random draw box.
As the name suggests, it is a gacha-type item that can be drawn from among A-rank items by spinning a roulette wheel.
Whoa!
A giant golden roulette appeared in the room.
The approximately 2m roulette wheel was engraved with numerous items corresponding to A rank.
‘shall we start.’
When the lever was lowered, the roulette started spinning at breakneck speed.
once twice.
Tring!
[Please press the red button in the center.]
You have to press the button to select an item and use the selected item.
however.
Jinhyeok calmly crossed his arms and waited.
He stared at me as if he didn’t care about the buttons.
[The time limit has been exceeded.]
[Run the roulette again.]
A red status window with a warning voice appeared.
If I didn’t choose again this time, it seemed that the opportunity itself would be taken away.
‘Cheap threats.’
Checking the status window, Jinhyeok lowered the lever again.
But this time, it was the same as not making a choice.
Of course, there were reasons for doing this.
Could it be some kind of bug?
Or should I say probability manipulation?
Jin-hyeok accidentally found a loophole in the system that was manipulated to cheat the players.
‘If you give up spinning roulette 36 times in a row, the roulette speed decreases by 99.99% on the 37th.’
As if it were playing in slow motion.
After that, all you have to do is wait for the roulette to reach the item you want.
In fact, I used this method for Cheon Yoo-seong last night to pick out the item he wanted.
Just one thing.
There is a downside to the one that I picked up that way, but the expiration date is a week.
A mischievous smile appeared on Jinhyuk’s lips.
It was because a week later, Chun Yoo-seong, whose attribute sword had been smashed, could clearly see the way he ran wild.
‘I’m slightly sorry, but I didn’t lie.’
He said he would give you the materials to complete the attribute sword. Didn’t you promise that the attribute sword would last forever?
Above all, you can enjoy at least a week with the newly drawn attribute sword, so it’s not completely fraudulent.
cancer don’t
While he nodded, the long-awaited 37th turn approached.
The roulette slowed down enough to show which one it was pointing to.
It is now.
Jinhyeok pressed the red button for the first time.
[You chose the A-rank ‘three-color pill’!]
Red, white, and black.
Three pills appeared, each with different powers.
If you want to be able to use it within a week and help you reach the next floor, this is the best.
Jinhyeok kept the pills in a corner of the subspace inventory.
‘It’s a coupon that gives a discount on currency exchange. I can use it later when I upload a video that gets a lot of views.’
One last thing left.
It is a magic library.
Higher version of the skill A barrier that appears only in the middle layer or higher of the Golden Sorcery Tower, which was buried in ancient times.
The other-dimensional library, where you can learn one magical skill that is not easily accessible to others, was enough to make your heart flutter as it is.
However, unexpected tension flowed across Jinhyeok’s face.
The manager of the library, whom I would soon meet, was quite a nuisance.
‘I’ll see you again with that old man after a while.’
The librarian, Rick Hennessy, manages the library.
The greatest pawn shop in the tower was also owned by the old man.
Jinhyeok also used to trade often in the past, and gave Rick the nickname ‘Thanos’.
This is because the goods the other person brought were always slashed at half price, and the goods they had were sold at twice the price.
Truly a miracle trading method.
It was a leisure that only those who had enormous capital, infinite items, and iron plates on their faces could afford it.
however.
It will be different this time.
‘This will be the first time you’ve met me.’
‘This isn’t the first time I’ve met you.’
It’s different from the past where I was treated harshly without knowing anything.
Because this time I knew everything about the other person.
Jinhyeok bought several items from the ‘Coin Exchange’.
And the most important ticket of this reward was infused with magic.
[The Great Magic Library has opened.]
Kukukukukuku!
A gate with a green shimmering surface appeared.
