CH 116

. Moonlight Festival (1)

[In order to learn the 1-star barrier 'Optical Refraction', you have to place 3 runes... .]

That's easy.

Before the explanation was even finished, Jinhyuk drew the runes in an instant.

The 'imprint of the moon' engraved on the shoulder instantly radiated a dazzling light.

[You have acquired the 1-star barrier 'Optical Refraction'.]

[Win the Cookie Bag Event!]

[750,000 coins will be refunded!]

[Do you want to challenge yourself to learn the next barrier?]

A method of adding new information to previously known knowledge.

Like a kind of infusion education, new contents about optical refraction permeated Jinhyuk's mind.

'Oh. Could optical refraction be used in this way?'

An interesting smile passed by Jinhyuk's lips.

Even if you know 99%, if you have 1% freshness, that alone would be worth learning the ability.

That's why it's better to choose a job you've never done before.

It's been a really long time since I was able to learn things I didn't know about the tower.

'Certainly, formally learning it helps to understand barriers more completely.'

Jinhyuk immediately opened the next barrier.

[If you want to learn the 1-star barrier 'under dark feet'... .]

Is this a trap-type barrier?

Likewise, Jinhyuk drew the runes before the explanation was even halfway through and placed them.

You don't even need to listen to hints about basic techniques.

That's about it.

It is a level of difficulty that you can do while sleeping.

'Well, it's only a one-star rating.'

Jinhyuk, who muttered mutterly, was given the next task.

Countless processes of taking the challenge and getting a coin refund followed.

Most of the players who chose Barrier had to tie their heads up and grunt, but it was a difficult question whether they could barely solve it.

For Jinhyuk, it was just the basic of the basics.

Time passed.

The number indicating the barrier's gender has been increased.

[2-star .]

[3-star .]

A rapidly flashing status window.

The higher the difficulty, the faster the barrier was acquired.

The deceased was slowly starting to catch on.

at last.

[Stop it, you idiot!]

[Are we digging the soil to do business?]

[Somehow, he doesn't spend a single penny on a coin, and he's eating out all of our belongings! This little guy's Shiki... !]

The system that exceeded the limit began to run rampant.

The act of completely disregarding morality.

Giving and withdrawing as many as 750,000 coins, and repeating it endlessly, of course, you can't help but get hot.

However, Jinhyuk lightly ignored the warning from the system.

Hey. This house is very delicious. What is this, even a generously giving tree would be teased as a hogu?

Whether it hurts or not is up to you.

This is just the exercise of right under the set rules.

Jinhyuk increased his speed even more.

Barriers, which are very difficult to understand, have been run through.

And finally.

[You have acquired the 117th barrier.]

I have cleared all barriers to learn.

It happened in just two and a half hours.

The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials.

After finishing all the work outside the tower, Jinhyuk headed to the meeting place to participate in the elves' festival.

'It's nice that it's leisurely, but it's only then that I feel like the main character in the apocalypse.'

Originally, it was a place that players did not often find, but after the news of the attack on the 10th floor spread, it became a ghost forest.

After all, only those who had the permission of the player who cleared the 10th floor could enter the 10th floor.

Of course, everyone must have turned on the lights and tried to find Unknown.

Exactly... .

'Chun Yoo-seong, who believes in Unknown.'

Jinhyuk's face turned sinister.

A situation in which Cheon Yoo-sung has already spread the rice cake called Unknown in every corner of the community.

It was only a pity to the last, but thanks to the addition of plausible hypotheses, there were quite a few fish caught.

I don't know, but there are many reporters, guild officials, and crooked fans around Cheon Yoo-seong, so a situation that is comparable to Busan's Haeundae in August is being produced.

For this purpose, the existence of Cheonyuseong was omitted from the raid video on the 10th floor.

'I'll have to apologize later.'

Not once or twice like this. If you say you're truly sorry, he'll probably understand.

Perhaps .

maybe it is

Jinhyuk erased the things about Cheon Yuseong from his mind.

Considering what the damn swordsman has been doing all this time, this is because he couldn't even get into the axis of revenge.

Instead of a troublesome thought, Jinhyuk pulled out a cutie pet from his subspace inventory.

The sweet potato, who had toddled, looked around eagerly.

You've just been born, so anything must look strange.

Green Mosquito!

Yeah, that's right. This is grass.

Jinhyuk looked at the sweet potato smelling the grass with a happy expression.

Watching the black sweet potatoes wiggle, I thought that someday I would like to go to the white snow floor together.

also.

Roasted sweet potatoes were the perfect recipe for winter.

A happy and peaceful atmosphere continued.

Until the sweet potato tried to put a poisonous mushroom in its mouth.

Wait! You're not eating that!

Red Mosquito!

The sweet potato chewed and ate the Omulomul clown mushroom.

Drying it is of no use.

How can you stop them when they say they won't lose them even if they die?

Of course, the ancient species won't get sick of eating one poisonous mushroom, but... .

Whoa.

Jinhyuk let out a deep sigh.

That's why parents seem to say that they shouldn't take their eyes off their kids for a second.

After a riot, Jinhyuk walked through the forest with sweet potatoes.

The remaining time is about 3 hours.

You have to hurry to get there on time.

How long did you walk past those familiar forests and trees?

Finally, the two were able to reach the place where they were supposed to meet.

But.

'It's like fucking elves.'

Arrived on time, but obviously Sylvia was nowhere to be seen.

Do you think that being one or two hours late if you live for more than a thousand years is the beauty of a blank space?

Even if I hang it upside down during that time, will I be able to laugh at the time promise? . I started to seriously want to try it.

However, Jinhyuk shook his head immediately.

done.

If we discuss the preciousness of time with things like new games, this is the only loss.

'I have to do something that I couldn't finish at the hotel.'

Originally, I was going to do it after entering the village of elves.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to deal with the vacant time now.

Jinhyuk immediately activated the status window.

barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to 'fold'

state has been switched to.

stuff that's full of stuff.

All of this was the result of how hard he had been running.

'There are so many types of barriers, so it seems to be displayed that way.'

The important thing is to distribute the stat points obtained by catching the rock giant.

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

So far, I have mainly uploaded mana, but now I have to give it a little variation.

'Since I skipped 4 floors at a time, I guess I'll need to balance other stats from the 11th floor as well.'

especially fitness.

It was better to raise the stamina stat to create synergy with the passive 'shallow breathing'.

After that, the battles were longer or there were more occasions to go to a melee.

[Strength increases from 20 to 22.]

[Agility increases from 20 to 22.]

[Health increases from 20 to 31.]

Raise other things, but put more weight on stamina.

In this way, stat distribution was completed.

'I'm getting stronger.'

Experience as a deceased person and skills filled with it. There is even a huge stat reward through the first clear.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Jinhyuk's heart started beating rapidly.

It was hard to hide the excitement at seeing himself growing so much that no one dared follow him.

Yes.

'I will be the first to go ahead.'

Without a single mistake, only the best process will produce the best results.

Because I had seen the top of the tower for that.

And.

'Because no one else will see the top of the tower except me.'

no one else

only one in the world.

I am the only one who can climb this tower to the end.

Jinhyuk once again strengthened his resolve.

But right then.

Oh! You're early!

An elf with short hair and pointed ears appeared from beyond the bushes.

It was Sylvia, a ranger.

Jinhyuk's eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction.

...are you here early?

You said you came early!?

Why, why?

Do you know how long I've been waiting here?

Yes? Well, that's good for me too...

Sylvia shook her head slightly.

ha.

you are well

Can you see this? Did a mushroom grow on my body after waiting too long?

"Ah I don't think I can see "

Shut up! What are you saying you did well? Now! Yes!? Above all else, my baby got a stomachache while eating it!

Jinhyuk pointed his finger at the mouth of the sweet potato.

Red Mosquito!

Leftover clown mushroom crumbs were hanging around the mouth of the sweet potato.

It was an absurd remark that made no sense in common sense, but Sylvia's face turned white at Jinhyuk's words, which were rushing like a rapid-fire gun.

Her lips trembled as if she had completely lost her soul.

It's nothing like making fun of an inexperienced novice ranger.

Should it be said that there is a difference between a 100-year-old stag beetle and a newborn yellow crocodile?

In the end, Sylvia had to pay the price for being half an hour late.

"Oh, that I'm sorry. I thought I had come sooner. I didn't know you had been waiting so long."

Let's be careful going forward. Yeah?

Yes, yes! From now on, I will definitely come on time.

Sylvia nodded quickly.

Jinhyuk's mood was somewhat relieved by the appearance of being completely submissive.

Den, who relieves stress, is nothing like making fun of a frightened newbie.

By the way. Why are you so late?

Ah. Actually, I have work to do about the festival. It may sound like an excuse, but I was very busy.

Well, collecting 'swamp figs' is not an easy task.

At Jinhyuk's words, an earthquake occurred in Silvia's pupils.

"Well, how do you know about that?"

how do you know

I know because I went to town before and was even deported.

Even then, I remember the elves bending their spines to collect those fruits.

Where did you pick it up?

Jinhyuk, who was roughly wrapped around him, turned towards the forest.

"Otherwise, you have to go to the left to get to the village "

ttttttttttttttttttttt

It's also called an elf.

It's much faster this way.

Sylvia reached out, but Jinhyuk did not pretend to listen and began to take the lead.
