CH 83

. Magic Library (1)

[The main theme of the 5th floor is 'Escape'.]

The male player opened his mouth.

[If it's an escape, are you saying that it starts with being trapped somewhere?]

[Yes. There is not much information left because all the videos and records from the past have disappeared, but I was able to reconstruct up to the 8th floor based on the memories of the players who played the Tower of Trials at that time.]

[Oh oh. So many?]

[haha. It's all thanks to the dead players.]

It's funny that up to the 8th floor is stagnant. You have to go to the 15th floor at least to enter the stagnant axis.

Taemin Lee, who was watching TV, clicked his tongue as if it was ridiculous.

Yeah. But what can I do? Most people have folded everything before the 8th floor. It's great that you got the information up to the 8th floor.

Flexibility was also there.

Well. Considering our standards, the hurdles are too high for other people.

"If you look at it this way, I think it's a really big deal to have preempted information."

Isn't that obvious?

Others added one word at a time.

On everyone's face, I could feel the pride of having experienced more than 15 floors of the tower.

Well .

Jinhyuk, who saw it, scratched his cheek.

'Should I save my words here?'

To everyone who dared to raise their noses, they had to have seen at least the end of the tower to be able to say that they were dead.

Still, they are my dear colleagues.

At least it won't hurt your heart.

In particular, Cheon Yoo-seong was a guy who would break the ties of reason if he made fun of him for being 20 stories tall.

'Really, I also think about the mentality of the team members. Even if I think about it, I'm a me.'

That was when Jinhyuk was nodding his head.

[ ] If so, can you tell me what kind of escape I should have?]

[The purpose of the 5th floor is to choose one of the deadliest places for survival, such as a mental hospital, a gladiator, a mine, and an uninhabited island and escape from that place.]

[It doesn't look as difficult as you think, does it? If you know the location in advance, can't you prepare for the attack in advance?]

Information is the most important thing in escaping.

What kind of characters will be in it?

What about the terrain and features?

what you can use, etc.

This means that if you know everything in advance, there are plenty of ways to prepare.

[Haha, it's easy to think like that. But no. On the 5th floor, the location and the composition inside change each time, so the advantage of having a second car is fading, and the nerf that seals even the mana is done. Rather, it will be the most difficult to attack so far.]

[Mana is sealed?]

[Yes. It seems to mean that you have to clear it with your own power.]

A new environment every time you do it.

A nerf that seals unique abilities and skills.

The premise for this floor is to start with the worst.

This floor is so annoying.

Uh-huh. It's been a while since I've been nervous.

Ah, really, I was on the floor where I didn't even look at him twice after waking up...

There were sighs coming from all over the place.

Everyone has to start from the bottom.

You must be thinking that way.

But only one.

Jinhyukman was smiling leisurely.

that you know

How can I attack this floor as easily as possible?

And even what preparations have to be made for that.

the next afternoon.

Jin-hyeok, recovering from fatigue at the hotel, defeated Pendariel and chururuk listed the rewards he obtained.

'A-class random draw box'.

'Advanced skill enhancement book'.

'10% discount coupon for currency exchange fee'.

'Magic Great Library Admission Ticket'.

four like this

All of them were collected with nothing to throw away.

I wanted to check right away, but before that.

Status window.

Jinhyuk activated his personal status window.

This is because I had to distribute the stat points gained while raising the level.

He raised a total of 7 levels, including the ones that didn't see the status window because he was hunting like crazy.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Jinhyuk's heart was beating rapidly.

'In the past, I thought I grew up with optimization... .'

It was an illusion.

It's because I'm growing so fast now that I can't even compare it to back then.

'haha. This is outrageous.'

The realized Tower of Trials boasted a level of difficulty that was different from that of the game.

However, than the difficulty increased.

'I have a much bigger room for growth.'

Past experience and accumulated skills are proving it.

how strong you have become.

Feeling a pleasant uplift, Jinhyuk quickly distributed the accumulated 21 stats.

[Strength increases from 16 to 19.]

[Agility increases from 16 to 19.]

[Health increases from 16 to 19.]

[mana rises from 62 to 74.]

The most important thing is mana.

When I raised the 12 stats at once, I felt the flow of mana spread all over my body become much smoother.

great.

Then... .

Jinhyuk picked up the 'Advanced Skill Enhancement Book'.

An item that raises the skill level above Lv10 by 1 level, and raises the skill level by 3 levels if it is below Lv10.

Considering that it is becoming more difficult to level up the skill level, the value of this scroll was something that could not be converted into money or coins.

And, of course, I have already thought about which skill to enhance.

'Glacier modeling is the most important thing to grow not only for the fifth floor, but also for the future.'

A versatile skill that can be used in various situations as well as attack and defense.

If I had to choose just one thing, this would definitely be the top priority.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

The scroll disappeared with a bright light.

At the same time.

['Glacier Sculpting (氷河造Form)' has been upgraded to Lv8.]

Pants... !

A cool breeze spread through the inside of the hotel.

What? It seems to be getting cold all of a sudden? Did you turn on the air conditioner?

What kind of air conditioner is it in late fall? Damn it. Besides, it's not an air conditioner, it's almost like a freezer.

I think there is something wrong with the central air conditioner...

Resolve it quickly so that customers don't feel uncomfortable. If you catch a cold and come in with a complaint, we'll all get along!

Jinhyeok didn't know, but the hotel staff had to move busy for a while to find the cause.

Meanwhile, Jin-hyeok, who has strengthened his skill, picked up the golden box lying on the bed.

Grade A random draw box.

As the name suggests, it is a gacha-type item that can be drawn from among A-rank items by turning roulette.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

A huge golden roulette appeared in the room.

Numerous items corresponding to rank A were engraved on the roulette with a size of about 2m.

'shall we start.'

When I lowered the lever, the roulette wheel started spinning at a great speed.

once, twice.

T-tiring!

[Please press the red button in the center.]

When you press the button, an item is selected and the selected item can be used.

By the way.

Jinhyuk waited patiently with his arms crossed.

He looked at the button as if he didn't care.

[Timeout has been exceeded.]

[Turn the roulette once more.]

A red status window with a warning voice appeared.

It seemed that the opportunity itself would be forfeited if it wasn't even this time.

'A cheap threat.'

Jinhyuk checked the status window and lowered the lever again.

However, this time too, he did not make a choice.

Of course, there were many reasons for doing this.

Is it some kind of bug?

Or is it called probability manipulation?

Jinhyuk accidentally found a loophole in the system he had manipulated to fuck the players.

'If you give up playing roulette 36 times in a row, the speed of roulette will decrease by 99.99% on the 37th time.'

It's like playing in slow motion.

After that, all you have to do is wait for the roulette to reach the desired item.

In fact, last night, I even used this method for Cheon Yoo-seong to pick out the desired item.

Just one thing.

The only downside is that it has a shelf life of one week.

A playful smile hung on the corner of Jinhyuk's lips.

It was because Cheon Yu-seong, whose elemental sword was smashed a week later, was clearly visible in the streets.

'I'm a little sorry, but I'm not lying.'

He said that he would give me the materials to complete the elemental sword. Didn't you promise that the elemental sword would last forever?

Above all, you can enjoy at least a week with the newly drawn elemental sword, so it's not a scam.

Cancer, not like that.

While nodding his head, the 37th turn he had been waiting for came.

It was slow enough to show which roulette was pointing at.

it is now

Jinhyuk pressed the red button for the first time.

[You have selected A-rank, 'three-color pill'!]

red, white and black.

Three pills with different abilities appeared.

If you want to be able to use it within a week and help you attack the next floor, this is the best.

Jinhyuk kept the pills in a corner of the subspace inventory.

'This is a coupon that gives you a discount on currency exchange. You can use it later when you upload a video with a lot of views.'

One last thing left.

It's a magical library.

Higher versions of skill, ancient goldsmiths, and barriers that appear only in the middle or higher floors of the tower.

The library of other dimensions, where you can learn one magic skill that others cannot easily access, was not lacking enough to make your heart flutter as it is.

However, there was an unexpected tension on Jinhyuk's face.

Because the manager of the library you're about to meet was quite a nuisance.

'I'll see you again with that young man after a while.'

The librarian who manages the library, 'Rick Hennessy'.

The biggest pawn shop in the tower was also owned by the inspiration.

Jinhyuk also used to trade often in the past, and he gave Rick the nickname 'Thanos'.

This is because the items brought by the other party are always slashed at half price, and the items they own are sold at twice the price.

Truly a miracle transaction.

It was a leisure that only those with huge capital and inexhaustible items, as well as those with iron plates on their faces, could afford it.

But.

It will be different this time around.

'This is probably the first time you've met me.'

'It's not the first time I've met you.'

It's different from the past when I was beaten up without knowing anything.

Because this time, I knew everything about the opponent.

Jinhyuk bought some items at the 'coin exchange'.

And blown mana into the most important ticket of this reward.

[The Magic Library has been opened.]

kukuku kuk kuk!

A gate with a green surface appeared.
