Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 187
[Level Up with God Episode 187]
* * *
50th floor.
A rich and beautiful world where heaven and earth are connected.
It was a quiet mountain in the early morning, just as the sun was rising.
Son Goku, who was lying on a flat rock and yawning sleepily, raised his head and looked up at the clouds.
“It’s coming soon.”
The size of the cloud that caught Goku’s eyes quickly grew.
Clouds gradually coming closer.
In Son Goku’s Hwaan Geumjeong, another image of himself riding on the cloud was reflected.
“Is that guy the 14th?”
I had a very hard time finding it.
However, because it was dark under the lamp, he was staying on the 50th floor, not anywhere else.
“Anyway, that self-indulgent bastard… Ah, that bastard is me.”
Son Goku slapped his mouth as the words came out of his mouth.
Let’s overcome this annoyance and get up.
“Did you call me?”
Before I knew it, another Son Goku was standing on a cloud that was right in front of me.
“When did you last call?”
“Isn’t it dangerous? Calling it like this. “What if the people above find out?”
Does each alter ego have a slightly different personality?
Even though the situation was the same, the clone in front of him had slightly different thoughts from the twelfth clone, Son Goku.
“Why are you so worried that it’s not like me? “If there’s a problem, we fight.”
At the words of the twelfth Son Goku, the newly arrived fourteenth Son Goku frowned.
“Without a body? Do you think that’s possible?”
“It would be impossible.”
“Man, no matter how ignorant we are, there is a limit. “What nonsense…”
“That’s why I called you.”
“…you guys?”
It was plural, not singular.
The fourteenth time, a question mark appeared on Son Goku’s expression.
Hwareuk-.
The two people’s Hwaan Geumjeong responded.
“This is the fourth person.”
Slurp-.
Two of the rocks scattered around change their appearance.
Two people with a golden spirit.
Two other clones appeared in the place.
“Sixth and eleventh.”
The twelfth Son Goku.
He pointed at the newly arrived Son Goku.
“Fourteenth.”
Four clones gathered at the table.
It would have been shocking to know in ‘Heaven’. Those who are wary of Jecheon Daeseong will not be happy to see the clones gathering in one place.
Even though he knew that, Son Goku gathered his clones in one place.
-Gather all the clones until I go up. I guess it will be much easier for you who have luck and can climb up and down the tower.
Yuwon has only reached the 42nd floor.
Moreover, Hwaan Geumjeong only has half of it.
The role of collecting the clones was the responsibility of the clone rather than Yuwon.
‘It may take the world of heaven, but…’
Nevertheless, there was a part of me that believed.
‘When that guy comes up.’
-When I go up to the 50th floor…
there are four Son Goku.
They all shared each other’s memories through Hwaan Geumjeong, and at this moment, they remembered one person in common.
-Then save Son Goku.
‘At that time, the main body is rescued.’
* * *
After the 40th floor, the exam becomes seriously difficult.
As the level of players increased significantly and the level of difficulty increased, the time it took to take the test also inevitably increased.
Yuwon took two tests.
42nd and 43rd floors.
Of course, all of them passed the test.
“I guess there’s no point in taking the exam anymore.”
It’s so outrageous that even the proctor who took the test held his tongue.
Yuwon did not give the manager a test.
The schedule wasn’t that complicated, and there was no reason to rush up the tower right away.
‘Even if we get to the 50th floor, it’s meaningless unless all the clones gather.’
At this point, the exact number of self-immolations was unknown.
However, considering that Son Goku was the ‘twelfth’ he had met, it meant that there were at least twelve clones.
Furthermore, there was no reason to move in a hurry since the item had to wait to be produced.
So Yuwon leisurely climbed the tower.
For some, that alone would be something they would risk their lives and do their best to do, but for Yuwon, the time itself was a kind of rest.
A path I have already walked once.
Because walking again wasn’t difficult and the difficulty of the test wasn’t that high.
[Welcome to the 44th floor.]
Desolate air.
The air was hazy, as if it were full of dust, and the sky was unclear whether it was night or day.
Pungent smell.
’44th floor.’
Yuwon frowned as he stepped onto the 44th floor.
It was my second visit.
Even before returning, I did not come back to this floor after ascending to the top.
There was one reason.
‘This place is worse than hell.’
The world of Hell on the 42nd floor may not be a good world to live in, but it is not the most dangerous world.
However, the 44th floor, which is always compared to hell, had much worse security conditions than the 42nd floor.
A world ruled by three ghosts.
The Three Ghosts, who were given control by the administrator, neglected this world in the name of ‘freedom’.
freedom.
It’s a pretty and romantic word.
But the results weren’t that good.
Freedom without law brought about the worst consequences in the world of the 44th floor.
‘Freedom is the same as a lawless zone.’
A world that is much smaller than other worlds.
In this world, there was no such thing as a management office. Here, power was law and rule.
“Aaaah!”
A scream heard from afar.
It started as soon as we arrived.
“This guy is amazing?”
“Hey, don’t kill me yet! Take the point first!”
“I know, man. “I thought it was once or twice…”
An unpleasant conversation continues.
Yuwon ignored the conversation. In this world, it was impossible to get involved in all these things, as it might be in other places.
Murder and extortion violence.
These sharp and unpleasant words are nothing more than everyday life in this world.
‘It’s a start.’
Jump and jump -.
Yuwon walked down a quiet street.
Old, old buildings.
It was difficult to find people on the street, but I felt many eyes.
-Hey, I think that guy is new.
-First of all, dress neatly.
-Look at your confident steps.
– Take a closer look. Is he a good guy or not?
-Perhaps there are other people in the group…
hiding between the buildings and spying on them.
It was exactly like when I first entered the first floor.
A bunch of wolves that rob new players.
Their behavior was not much different from theirs.
The difference is that it is so large that it cannot even be compared to wolves.
‘The size of the 44th floor criminal group is equivalent to that of most mid-sized guilds.’
Of course, not all of them belonged to one group.
In the first place, it is almost impossible for arbitrarily violent criminals to unite as one group.
However, even though they are scattered like dots, they become one again out of necessity.
That’s scary.
That unity created under the name of freedom and lawlessness.
And the invisible, greater force that created that unity.
-Should I just send it? It feels strong.
-Should I do that?
-If he happens to be connected to a large guild, it will be a pain in the ass. I’m still a bit confused these days.
Yuwon’s eyebrows narrowed as he heard people talking about him.
I can’t believe I just sent it.
This was unexpected.
‘I thought it was a good catch…’
Yuwon hoped that there would be someone who would naturally attack him like this.
But, unlike wolves, they were good at smelling things. It was amazing that a guy who had robbed someone had a knack for finding easy-going guys who said he was good at it.
Yuwon sighed inwardly.
There was nothing I could do about it.
‘It might be a little contrived, but it doesn’t matter.’
Yuwon, who was walking down a quiet street, turned sideways.
The conversation of the guys who were whispering to me stopped.
Yuwon looked at them accurately.
Jeopuk-.
The steps that changed direction were moved.
Between buildings.
When Yoo-won entered the corner alley that was their den, they were embarrassed because they were the same guys who were picking their prey.
-What is it? Coming this way?
-What do we do?
– Just catch him? Or run away?
-Damn it! What kind of run is run away? Why us?
While we hesitated, the distance quickly narrowed.
Yuwon entered the alley.
A street with no one around.
Yuwon came into the midst of it and opened his mouth.
“Let me ask you something.”
There was no answer.
Instead, they crouched further and kept their mouths shut.
Some guys slowly improved their lives. These were guys who chose to fight rather than hide.
Sigh-.
“Let’s talk.”
Yuwon turned his head and met the eyes of a guy.
That moment.
Spot-.
A sharp line appeared in front of Yuwon’s neck.
Kaaaaak-!
Hard metal sound.
The guy, who revealed his hidden body and brandished a short sword, stepped back with a confused look on his face.
“What is it? when?”
When did you use the skill?
Yuwon stroked the side of his neck with his hand.
‘Is this the guy who just came up to the 44th floor? It’s so dull.’
I didn’t use any special skills. The reason the sword didn’t go in was simply the difference in stats.
Stamina stat exceeds 100.
The stats were excessively high for a player on the 44th floor. Even if he had used a powerful skill by pouring in magical energy, there was no way that a clumsy swing of a sword would have worked.
The reason I didn’t dodge the knife wasn’t that big of a deal.
There was just no need to stop it.
Chin tap-.
As if they had decided that there was nothing they could do about the appearance of just one person, other party members appeared around them.
They blocked both sides of the alley and surrounded the top of the building. Seeing the group blocking all directions, the man who first swung the knife at Yuwon opened his mouth.
“Everyone be careful. “That guy uses strange skills.”
Despite what he said, he didn’t seem very careful.
Do you believe in numbers?
His face was very proud and his voice was full of confidence.
Perhaps there are players in the group who live on higher floors other than the 44th floor.
“What do you need to be careful about? To the guy who just came up.”
“That guy isn’t even a ranker, so what are you going to do?”
“Looking at the rough estimate, it looks like there’s something to be ripped off…”
These guys are talking with Yuwon in the middle.
Yuwon looked at the number of people filling the alley.
‘A little over thirty. It seems like a small guild.’
Although this was small, it was the size of a guild. It didn’t seem like there was anything particularly up or down, but among the gangs that could be found on the 44th floor, it was quite large.
It seems it wasn’t a coincidence that I first saw the amusement park and just wanted to let it go.
If it was of this size, there would have been a lot of detail in this area, and there was bound to be at least an eye for people to see it.
‘Good.’
The bigger the scale, the better.
I need as many people as possible to know what I am going to do from now on.
Yuwon raised his hands up and said.
“I’m not trying to fight, I’m just trying to ask you something.”
There was no need to draw a weapon.
Even if you fight, you must not kill.
From now on, they must become faithful feet to convey his words.
“They say one of the three gods is here…”
The three gods.
Three items that three high rankers, including Susanoo, ‘Three Noblemen’ are looking for.
As soon as that item was mentioned in Yuwon’s mouth, the atmosphere that had been tense just moments ago became tense.
“Does anyone know anything?”
The bait has been thrown.
Bait for catching big fish.
