Current Location: Floor 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)
Sages Advice: 3]
The box Ahri carried over was still closed.
Sorry but I havent opened the box yet. He said there could be a violent weapon, so I thought it would be better to unbox it together with everyone inside a safe room.
I like that. And I think it would be safer for me to open it.
Jinchul-hyung immediately reached forward and took the box in his hands. He must have been feeling uncomfortable throughout the night just like me, and was probably eager to be useful in any way.
The box was quite easy to open, and inside was an item that everyone was very familiar with.
A gun?
Is it a gun?
Thats a lot more normal than I thought.
Jinchul-hyung took out the pistol with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Like, sure a pistol is a good weapon, but what are we supposed to do with this? We dont even have bullets! Noonim, are there bullets on the HP Market, by any chance?
They dont sell bullets on Amazon do they? That is quite strange though. Have a look at the magazine are there bullets inside?
Hyung shouted after opening it with a click.
Wow! These guys are damn scammers; theres not a single bullet inside! How could they do this after taking
Now now~. The two of you, please be quiet for a while. There is an instruction manual here.Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com
As Ahri said, there was a small manual inside the box which had a very simple instruction.
Load the magazine with blood and bullets will appear.
Everyone in this place is perverted or something. Did they really have to give us a blood-draining gun?
Well, at least theres a way to load the gun with bullets. Lets test it out.
Saying that, Ahri was about to take out the syringe from before but it was then.
Jinchul-hyung snatched it away from her.
Lets use someone elses blood at least.
Ahri didnt bother stopping him, so Jinchul-hyung took out his own blood before dropping them into the magazine.
Hmm. By the way, wont there be an issue with hygiene if we use one syringe for multiple people? We are not trying to transfuse the blood but its still not that safe, right?
Its okay. They probably have syringes on the HP Market.
Now that you mention it, replied Eunsol-noona. I should probably get one right now. You guys can go on. Ill buy some syringes.
After about a minute since we shoved the blood inside the syringe into the magazine, a click suddenly echoed from the gun.
Looks like its done. Let me try shooting it.
Bang!
It was definitely about as strong as a real gun, and a faint mark appeared on one of the walls.
It seemed that we finally had a proper weapon in our hands. Of course, we did have the bracelet which was incomparably more powerful and of higher status than the gun, but the bracelet wasnt something that was specialised for brawls. It didnt have a direct killing potential either.
The rare good news put everyone in a better mood. We enjoyed a good meal, used the gun a few more times and chatted to spend time.
After having breakfast, we all headed to our room and were separated into our personal spaces.

Lee Eunsol walked over to her bed.
It was painful. Even though she could move her hands just fine and she had been pretending like it was okay in front of everyone else, the pain was still there.
But even so, it was bearable.
The breakfast was done, and they decided to continue with the next room after having lunch so she decided to rest until then. Something amusing that she realised was that she had more rest time after entering the Hotel.
When she was outside, she had so many things to do that having 5 hours of sleep a day was already a luxury, but nice food and good sleep became passives after coming to the Hotel.
Lying down on the bed, she turned her head and noticed a small piece of paper.
There are two main things we need to do on this floor then. Eunsol-noona said to organise the situation. First is to retry one or more rooms out of Room 101, Room 102 and Room 104 to get an Inheritance. Second is to have a look at Room 106.
Lets go with the second option first. The first one sounds way too hard already.
Okay. Well go to Room 106 first then. As for the resolution attempts for rooms other than Room 103, I think we should have a day off to thoroughly double-check what we know, what we can do and come up with a proper and extensive plan. There are a lot of things on my mind already, but lets start by checking Room 106.
Currently, our two goals for the 1st Floor were as follows.
First, obtain one or more Inheritances.
Second, find out the identity of Room 106, which was not a Cursed Room.
After deciding to start with the second goal first, we stood up and headed to Room 106.
As expected, I grabbed the knob first but there werent any notifications. Even though there were a lot of weaknesses to Sages Advice, this meant that there werent any risks immediately after opening the door at the very least.
Opening the door, we headed inside.

/Welcome customers to the Hotel Land of Hope!
The Hotel Land is full of very exciting attractions.
You may now go through 7 types of attractions!
If there are survivors even after experiencing all 7 attractions, there will be a surprising reward waiting for you!
However, attending the Hotel Land is not compulsory. You may still leave. Just like a Cursed Room, if there is a survivor at the end of the attractions, everyone that died in the process will be brought back to life.
# Would you like to start the Mission Room: Hotel Land of Hope?/
Silence befell the area as we started processing the information in our heads.
So, it means there are 7 types of attractions in this amusement park thing, and passing them will give you a reward, right? By the way, how could they even call themselves a Hotel Land of Hope and straight-up say, If there is a survivor as if its obvious that theyll be killing us? How is that related to hope in any way? Anyway, can you check the room information now, Kain? Jinchul-hyung asked.
/Room 106: Mission Room Hotel Land of Hope/
It says Mission Room, Hotel Land of Hope. Looks like going into this room is not compulsory. Thats why Room 107, the Gate Room, was open even when we didnt go to Room 106 and it seems that we can still leave.
The door to the corridor really is still there, and this time, we are still in a room without suddenly being sent somewhere.
After Eunsol-noona, it was Grandpa Mooksung.
It is time to make a decision. Are we going to proceed?
What was the right call here?
Even though we had gone through several Cursed Rooms, one with an optional participation like this one was a first. The fact that we can enter the Gate Room even while ignoring Room 106 meant that we could leave the Hotel by fully ignoring it until the end.
I think it depends on how we approach this. Jinchul-hyung added. You might think, Is there a reason to bear the risk by going into a room that we dont even need to beat? but you can also think of this as a chance to get stronger by obtaining the surprising reward. I think its meaningless to linger on this topic for too long. Lets just decide by majority.
In the first place, the reward was very unclear so it was rather difficult to logically compare the risk with the benefit. However, I had a feeling that the reward wouldnt be an Inheritance. There would probably be a different type of reward to Cursed Rooms, right?
The result of the majority vote was more one-sided than I thought. Everyone wanted to challenge the room except for Elena.
After staying in this Hotel for weeks and after going through several processes of death and resurrection, we had already started considering the risk of death as something of little regard, and we were more expectant of the upcoming reward.
How were we even supposed to let the Hotel know of our challenge though?
That question of mine immediately became useless. As expected of the Hotel that always monitored us, an alarm popped up as soon as everyone stood up and walked forward.
/The Hotel Land of Hope will now begin!
Real Life Bumper Car
3! 2! 1! Start!/
Real Life Bumper Car? What kind of name was this?
*
When the dimensions fluctuated and the scene around us changed,
I noticed what that crazy name was about!
Everyone appeared inside a sedan in a large arena that was about 3 times the size of a football field.
Like, half of us didnt even know how to drive and yet they threw us into individual vehicles.
VUUUUUUUUNNGGG!!!!!
That was when a deafening roar echoed from somewhere.
When I turned to the centre of the arena in a fluster, I found a monster truck that was as big as a house.
Like how was that even a bumper car? Thats a freaking bumper truck!!
