Chapter 224 Have you prepared something like this?
Bruhem’s remarks.
Quite significant.
“What do you mean support?”
“One of the many forces that exist in the tower. It’s a story about Helldying Kitchen taking care of you.”
“Ooooh! I don’t know, but it sounds good.”
Not just good, but very good.
Climbers also have a different survival rate depending on whether or not they belong to a guild, but do they receive support from a group of NPCs?
You will have a higher chance of succeeding in climbing than you imagined.
not omnipotent After all, you climb the tower yourself, and NPCs aren’t free from the system either.
Let’s focus a little more.
Bruhem opens his mouth.
“As you may know, there are various forces in the Tower. Not even NPC climbers.”
“You mean a large guild?”
“It includes that. Let me tell you a few places. First, this Hell Dying Kitchen.”
Bruhem spreads his fingers and continues his explanation.
“An arena federation led by Empress Geumcheon, headed by Killerless, the country of flowers and birds.”
“uh? Did Kildereth also have power?”
“Sure. The arenas in the tower are all united. Fleta on the 34th floor belongs there too.”
I didn’t know that.
It was strange.
Kildereth and Fleta are ex-husbands. Even though there were various circumstances, there was no reason for Kildereth to come to see it.
If you’re the president of the arena federation, that’s understandable.
“There are many more. A hidden garden run by druids and elves. Fractal Park created by fairies and spirits, and so on. In addition to NPCs, there are also places made by people who climb the upper floors. There is a rookie group and there is a group that likes sea fishing.”
What else do you like about sea fishing?
I made it without a first name.
“Recently, there was a place called Pejing Union. The growth is amazing.”
flinch.
shuddered slightly. There was nothing to say about sea fishing.
Because I was the Petit Kongdue of the Petit Union!
It’s unfair, Lee Jun-seok made the alliance, but why is it my share of shame?
While he was calming himself, Bruhem’s explanation was coming to an end.
“If you add up the little things, the number is even greater. It’s bragging, but Hell Dying Kitchen is on the fairly large scale. There will be no harm to you.”
I think the appeal for Helldying Kitchen is over.
Let’s see how candid it is.
If you only say good things, you won’t be trusted.
Even Helldying Kitchen has clear limitations.
A limitation that all NPCs have in common.
“Of course, there must be a cause. You have to relate to us in some way. Otherwise, there is no way for Helldying Kitchen to intervene.”
“You are honest.”
“There is no reason to hide it.”
puts my mind at ease a little
If you don’t tell me directly, I was going to ask.
NPCs have restrictions on their actions.
A statement that there is a limit to directly attacking or assisting climbers except in special cases.
Bruhem was coming up with a solution.
“It’s a relationship… I still wanted to ask you something.”
No matter what I say, Park Jae-kyung goes first.
“Come on, I see. I still have to learn a lot more. I want to work as a chef here!”
“great. Of course you will have to climb. It’s also a good option to stay for a while and build up your strength. I saw earlier that you do the main dish.”
Bruhem’s gaze turns to me.
“On the other hand, the VIP prepared ingredients separately for grooming and assistance.”
“you’re right. So, I want to do something other than cook.”
I don’t have as much passion for cooking as Park Jae-kyung.
I learned the cooking skill because I felt I needed it for future climbing.
It was obvious that if I left and became a chef, I would be greatly influenced by Helldying Kitchen.
A position where I can receive their cooperation but not be swayed. That is what I want.
It may be selfish, but is there anything special? Life is like this.
Bruhem nodded as if he had noticed.
“How about signing a partnership agreement, VIP? There is a food procurement team in Helldying Kitchen, but there are restrictions on the scope of activities as long as you are an NPC.”
“You mean to bring ingredients or spices for alcohol that you can’t find here.”
“That’s right. The Kraken’s leg or the flesh of the Mestoca larva brought by the VIP are in hard-to-find places. Not to mention the blue dragon’s tears.”
“Let’s do that.”
Nodding, Bruhem takes out the contract.
It was given to Jaekyung Park and me, but the content was different.
I was going to be in a partnership and he was going to be a chef.
After carefully examining the contents, I completed the signing.
[A partnership agreement has been signed with Helldying Kitchen.]
[Artifacts exclusively for Helldying Kitchen partners will be provided.]
The message that the contract has been completed comes to mind and a black bracelet is given.
It is made of an elastic material, and it adheres to itself when worn on the arm.
You wouldn’t even know you were wearing it if you weren’t conscious.
[Helldying Kitchen Partner Bracelet (A)]
– Temporarily connected to Helldying Kitchen.
“VIPs can trade the obtained by-products through the bracelet. I’ll do whatever you want in return. Points, as well as items and information are possible. Other things too.”
“Information?”
“There are as many things as there are many staff dispatched to various places in the tower.”
“Then you can also see what floors are on.”
“It is possible at a level that is not subject to system constraints.”
“All right. We will try to maintain a good relationship in the future.”
“I am.”
They shook hands and stood up from their seats.
You can check the details yourself.
Helldying Kitchen reaped more than expected.
now it’s time to go back
What is Jaekyung Park?
“Be well.”
“I’m sorry I sent you alone. Thank you for coming and seeing this place. It’s kind of a return gift, but when you go back, the cooking utensils that are left behind are the older brother’s.”
Come to think of it, I cooked before being invited to the party.
I couldn’t even take care of it properly because I came over here.
It seemed like a bit of a time-lapse, but if you can get it for free, there’s nothing wrong with it.
It’s what he used, so the performance must be certain.
“I hope you have a healthy climb.”
“I’ll contact you later if I get something good.”
“That’s right.”
Goodbye is like this.
[Party ends.]
[Reverse summoned.]
-Ughhh!
A magic circle was created under my feet, and light poured out.
A snapping feeling runs through your body.
[Floor 54 – starvation area]
I returned to where I was.
* * *
Park Jae-kyung’s cooking utensils that remain in a lump.
Quite a lot. There are basic items such as a simple cutting board, kitchen knife and pot, and there is even a grill, although I don’t know why they brought it out.
The cold galbijjim is a bonus.
Like oil that has hardened to white, a white skull Belzart is visible.
“Bad bastards…”
“I’m here.”
“Aaaaaaa!”
The guy who was watching the braised ribs with tears like chicken poop screamed.
The resentment and resentment filled in it can be felt intact.
Is it really that hard to just have to look at the food in front of you?
it will be hard Ande is starving with his arms and legs tied.
Had I known this, I would have brought some leftovers from the party.
Even thinking about it, it’s already too late. It’s impossible to go back.
Although there is a bracelet connected to Helldying Kitchen, it is only for trading.
It wasn’t something that allowed me to teleport.
“I am waiting for you. I’ll make you anything.”
The quest he gave me.
[Belzat’s Recognition – Unexpected Quest]
– NPC Belzat wants to escape from the curse of the void.
– I have no desire to die at the same time.
-Make them free from the effects of the curse without breaking it.
-Reward: Portal Creation ???
I have to cook for this too.
You don’t have to, but it’s necessary to maximize the effect.
You must have earned a cooking-related title. Shall we show off our skills? The moment I thought.
“hmm?”
[The SS-class powerful star-watching eyes are displayed.]
-Pababababat!
As the authority was activated, numerous message windows popped up.
There are so many that it’s hard to even comprehend.
suddenly?
I’m sure there was nothing there when I went to Helldying Kitchen.
than that
“This is no joke.”
The information shown through the Authority is unusual.
[Sealing Stone of the Five Chambers (AA)]
[Seven Demon Fences (S)]
[Thunderbolt Barrier (AA)]
[Binding Totem (A)]
.
.
.
A magic circle rising brightly from the floor.
Totems located everywhere.
Among them, the highlight is the seven giant stone statues of demons.
All of them are artifacts that restrict movement.
A whopping 24 of them. Six of them were rated AAA or higher, and there was one, but S-class artifacts were also mixed in.
Valley with Belzart.
A group of people appear above it.
many.
Around 60 people surrounded them as if they were surrounded.
I was able to figure out their identities.
“The Killing Squad.”
“That’s it.”
It’s not from a single country.
At least five countries have joined forces.
It is not a coincidence that they came together. A thoroughly planned place.
What I didn’t notice was probably…
‘I must have prepared it when I was invited to the party.’
This is so… I never thought an opportunity would turn into a crisis.
I glared at them.
“How come only one returned.”
The masked guy scans the surroundings.
Are you looking for Park Jae-kyung’s location?
I pretended to be calm and raised my head.
“I’m preparing to hit you in the back.”
“Do not lie. Because I confirmed that you guys disappeared at the same time. If only one returned, it must mean that the guy who went with him has fallen out.”
It’s not a fallout, but the situation is similar.
Because you can’t come to help me.
You don’t know what my condition is.
“Did you come here to catch me? You guys have nothing to do.”
“It’s unsightly to pretend to be relaxed.”
It was kind of embarrassing, but at times like this, you have to go out shamelessly.
“Can you see the NPC behind me? This guy is in a very angry state, and if you touch him wrongly, you and I will just die.”
I used Belzat, who was shedding tears and saliva, as bait.
No matter how bad they are, they don’t want to take the risk of turning even NPCs into enemies.
-Someone
sent me a signal.
It was psychological warfare, and they started using debuff magic before they had time to do anything.
[Gravity (AAA) Lv.1]
[Adhesion (A) Lv.6]
[Death (AA) Lv.4]
[Wind String (AA) Lv.9]
[Exhaustion (AA) Lv.2]
.
.
.
Dozens of debuffs stack at once.
Although the protection skills were activated to protect me.
[Magic Nullification (AA) Lv.3]
[Three magics are nullified!]
[Nullification failed! Exposed to 9 debuffs including sensory deterioration!]
[Mind Protection (AA) Lv.2]
[Blocks 16 mind attacks!]
[Mind protection failed! Exposed to trauma and 3 debuffs!]
[Curse resistance (A) Lv.1]
[Blocks 5 curses!]
[Curse protection failed! You will be exposed to 9 curses besides the uneasy gaze!]
They had too many skills to block everything.
If it was someone else, this alone would kill me.
“Grow!”
But I gritted my teeth and persevered.
It seemed like he would fall down at any moment, but even at this moment, the level of his protection skills was rising as he repeated defense successes and failures.
It seems that if I make a mistake, it will go away as it is.
I tried to pretend to be calm.
“As I’ve heard, you’re a monster. Even so, death does not change.”
“You’re so crazy.”
“You will pay for inciting the crowd.”
“Don’t kill me gracefully. Many of my comrades died because of you.”
He has no hesitation in saying bloody things, probably because he has accumulated a lot.
Why are you doing this to me… It’s you guys who did bad things.
I have a headache.
I think I’m going crazy.
They also don’t have infinite magical power.
Cold sweat dripping down, but proudly.
“If you’re going to make noise, go off, and if you’re going to attack, attack.”
I snapped my stop.
