CH 20

Ruins, Corridors of the Fallen (1)

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Seeing the blinking status window, Jinhyuk's heart was beating rapidly.

A one-line sentence written as a privilege.

Yes.

I kept wondering.

The fact that I saw the top of the tower for the first time, but there was no reward for it.

The reason the system has been silent until now.

All of that.

'Is it because of the idea of giving it along with the reboot update?'

Jinhyuk hurriedly looked around.

It's done. So, how much do you pay per day?

"I give in coins rather than cash."

What is it. Mr. Park. What are you going to do with the coin? Climb the tower?

Porters like us are left with receiving cash. A stiff cash is better than a coin that can't be used outside.

Everyone is in a state of mind talking about the party.

Then this is... .

It must mean that the reward given only to me is correct.

I'll check.

Jinhyuk muttered quietly.

OK.

[The first perk opens.]

[Passive 'Eat alone' is activated.]

[Eating alone]

Description: If you take it alone without sharing the final reward, you can get the best of the possible rewards.]

[Luck stats are permanently increased by +10.]

[Adaptive stats increase by +10.]

[A cold heart is activated.]

[Relentless Heart: You will be able to maintain your composure even in dire situations. However, the human heart may become pale.]

'Unbelievable!'

Jinhyuk unconsciously clenched his fists.

I'll give you the best of the rewards if you read it alone.

Things I never thought of popped up.

crazy

this is really crazy

yea that's the way it is

Optional rewards often appear in the Tower of Trials.

It's a good choice. It's like running a gacha.

There were even cases where only one out of thousands made a jackpot.

But wouldn't that mean ignoring that probability altogether?

without sharing it with others.

As long as you keep the condition of eating it all by yourself!

'haha.'

Thanks to the many experiences he has accumulated so far, he has become a character that is not surprised at all.

However, it was difficult to swallow the cheers that erupted this time.

Are you biting your lower lip with your molars?

'Lucky stats... Hopefully, I'll even give you this.'

not as much as the gap,

In the Tower of Trials, which boasted the highest level of difficulty, luck boasted tremendous efficiency.

Chewing on even the probabilities with blunt words, and overturning impossible situations all depended on this luck stat.

'It's the first time I've seen the adaptive ability... .'

It means adapting to something, and we can only guess.

It was an ability that did not exist before.

Even if the last one was excluded, the other two perks were close to fraud.

Besides, the first perk means that there is at least a second perk.

'If you see that the status window no longer appears, it must be the end of this for now.'

Jinhyuk carefully checked the reward once again and closed the status window.

At that moment, the story about the crew was over.

If it's 300 a day, it's not bad.

It's not bad. I'm risking my life. It means that our lives are worth 300.

Damn. Since when did you start paying attention to that? Besides, I've heard from the deputy oh here, that you're participating in a guild that's full of bread this time?

The eyes of the porters turned to Oh Seung-hwan.

Yes. This raid is a combined battle. Two of the top 10 large guilds and mid-level guilds participate.

large guild.

If it's in the top 10, that's a pretty high ranking.

Because the number of guilds around the world has exceeded 10,000.

"Besides, there are a lot of solo rankers participating, so you don't need to worry too much."

Draw?

Fuhaha. We can safely hide in the back and carry the luggage.

"It will take about three weeks, so even if the expenses are not deducted, 5,000 per two will drop."

Everyone burst into cheers at Oh Seung-hwan's words.

Let's go to sleep. If it's almost over, let's end it here.

How about a glass of soju with Mr. Park and Mr. Kim? In addition to pork belly. Huh?

Ugh. Soju is good. Still, it reminded me of alcohol.

There's a store I know, so just follow me. It's about making the pork belly very deadly.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed to a drinking party.

Isn't hyung going to come over there? If you want to work hard tomorrow, you should have a glass of soju!

I'm fine.

Jinhyuk shook his head.

Even if you take a good rest right away and raise your condition to the highest level, alcohol is not enough in a panguk.

Not everyone knows, but not too much.

How dangerous is the ruins of the first floor.

'It's nonsense to think that it's possible to attack just by going to a top 10 guild.'

The future of the raid was already decided.

Annihilation or close to annihilation.

it will be one of the two

And.

Jinhyuk's goal is to find a gap that only the deceased can do in the set ending.

Aww!

A huge desk shattered, and wooden fragments splattered in all directions.

Whoa. Whoa!

It seems that the minute has not been erased. The man's shoulders shook violently.

"This is what kind of bastard is this!"

Master of the Black Crow Guild.

Shin Gun-soo.

He was in a state of anger at the news he had just heard.

yea that's the way it is

A once in a lifetime opportunity.

He had kicked the ladder to the top in the new world.

It was also due to the mistake of the person he trusted the most.

"Do you know how many coins and items were invested in attracting the Fighting Father guild ?"

sorry.

Park Ha-jin, who was kneeling on the floor, bowed her head.

Sorry? I'm sorry? Does a guy who knows how to be sorry do that?

Gunsu Shin picked up a golf club.

And he began to beat Park Ha-jin without mercy.

Whoops!

Whoops!

Gagging! Gagging!

"I fed your sister the most refined Korean ginseng we have."

A fortune that could almost be called a miracle.

The only Korean ginseng with a refining rate of over 50% was given to Hana Park.

"You just have to follow along and blow the trumpet when Hana Park gets an A rank."

Violence was engulfed in emotion.

puck! kwaduk!

back and shoulders head.

Wherever his hand could reach, beatings continued to the extent of ruthlessness.

But, you can't do any of those things right? Huh? Was it that hard?

Boo woo woo!

kwaang!

A golf club hit Park Ha-jin's head with the sound of breaking the wind.

Red blood splattered on the floor.

Turn it off...

In the end, Park Ha-jin's body collapsed.

Only then did Shin Geon-soo stop hitting and toss the golf club to the floor.

The guy who interrupted. Who is it? Say what he's doing.

"Well, that's a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk "

Jinhyuk Kang?

It was a name I had never heard of.

What's your rank?

" "

Park Ha-jin did not answer.

I couldn't answer exactly.

Can't you hear me? What's the rank?

When Shin Gun-soo tried to grab the golf club again, a crawling voice came out.

...it's F.

F.F?

In an instant, Gunsu Shin felt a shock as if he had been hit with a hammer in the head.

Haha, this is outrageous. I mean. It was shot by a rookie who received an F rating, right?

head

At this point, even if you want to be angry, your pulse is relaxed.

Okay. Isn't that kid going to take the second test soon? Take the kids and clean them up. If it's in the dungeon anyway, there's no evidence left.

The command of the slaughter (追殺令).

Gunsu Shin decided to move at the guild level.

All right.

Park Ha-jin clenched her fists.

In the past, I suffered because I was careless. This time it's different.

As long as Shin Geon-soo's permission is granted, the group consisting of B-class players will move.

'As much as I was... . No, I'll kill you after playing with it for as long as possible.'

Ha-jin Park's head was filled with thoughts of Jin-hyeok crying and begging for his life.

4:30 in the morning the next day.

Jinhyuk headed to the meeting place, the Tower of Trials.

I'm here. It's Mr. Kang, right?

Here! Come this way.

It was not yet sunrise, but the porters and miners had already arrived.

Since the players had to be able to focus on the battle alone, the non-combat type people had to move diligently.

Assistant Manager Oh Seung-hwan was nowhere to be seen.

'Well, because that person was the manager who brokered.'

Instead, there were far more people waiting than the porters I met yesterday.

About ten minutes later, someone cleared his voice.

Big! Khuh-Hum! Kim Kyung-yeol, who is in charge of the food. You can call him Kim.

A man in his early 50s introduced himself.

Our job is to carry food and other supplies for the 300 raiders for a week. In terms of weight, it will be 70-80 kg per person. It won't be easy, but we all have a tight schedule, so let's all do our best. Will you take it?

Captain Kim mentioned the gang,

But most of the faces were contorted.

Damn it. It must be damn heavy.

I'm going to go all out. Doesn't that mean I have to carry it all day?

"Still, the weight will decrease as time goes by "

No noise. Go to the front of the truck and pick up your items in turn. They say you have to arrive by lunchtime.

Several voices came and went.

I grumbled, but I couldn't help it.

Because the contract has already been officially signed.

Soon after, the porters were handed out heavy-looking backpacks from trucks.

Mr.... Sibure.

Big!

People who crumple their faces as if carrying everything in the world.

Come on, take it. There are no exceptions for F-class, so don't be harsh.

Principal Kim handed Jinhyuk a backpack.

However.

'Well?'

Jinhyuk, carrying the backpack, tilted his head.

light.

too much.

'almost I don't feel any weight.'

But does this make sense?

The level was the same from the labyrinth until now.

After the tree of mangroves. Since I have never increased my strength stats, of course, a backpack weighing over 70kg will not feel light.

no way.

Something passed through Jinhyuk's head.

Jinhyuk immediately activated the personal status window.

Name: Kang Jin-hyuk

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Level: 1

Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 11 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 10

Only one.

Something has changed.

3 perks given with the word that the second update has been made.

And among them, the last stat whose purpose was unknown.

[Adaptive stat +10]

Yes.

That's it.

'Because I am a porter, I feel light weight because I am used to it.'

Assuming that, the front and back are correct.

Besides, if you can get the same effect as you do now in battle or in other situations... .

It is a stat that cannot be compared with the gap or luck.

That was then.

for a moment.

wait for a sec.

'This is a stat given only to those who have seen the top of the tower, isn't it?'

Although the odds are atrocious, there was a way someone could get other stats anyway.

However, adaptive abilities are an exception.

'At all... There is no way to get it.'

only one.

Except for me.

As the thought continued, goosebumps all over my body.

It seems like I got the performance of a lifetime.
