Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 531
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 7]
* * *
Bright sunlight came through the window.
Noon when the sun rises in the sky.
Pandora blinked as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Covering half of her face with a mask and decked out in a white dress, she checked her appearance in front of the mirror.
Although she only tied her hair up and changed her clothes, her beauty shined through.
From the beginning, she was known as one of the top three beauties in the world.
As it is said that half of Aphrodite’s ranking, which is known at a similar level, comes from her appearance, even people who did not know Pandora could not help but fall in love with her appearance.
If you go out into a crowded city, it’s natural to attract attention.
Moreover, Pandora did not want to take on such a troublesome task.
“Are you ready?”
Yuwon, wearing slacks and a coat, opened the door and came in.
Pandora nodded and approached Yuwon.
They were two people who lived most of their lives at home.
It was partly because Pandora stood out too much, but she wasn’t ready to live among people until now.
“huh!”
“Are you going to be okay?”
Stop-.
At Yuwon’s question, Pandora’s movements stopped for a moment.
Going out into the crowds was something she had been thinking about for quite some time.
No one has an easy first time with anything.
The same thing happened to Pandora, a double-digit high ranker.
Wouldn’t it be better to fight monsters?
People and the world were more difficult for her.
“…huh.”
A smaller answer than before.
Yuwon could see her shoulders shaking slightly, but Yuwon didn’t make any effort to stop her.
Because I couldn’t let her live in this small house forever.
“Let’s go out then.”
Yuwon and Pandora came out, shoulder to shoulder.
My steps were slow, as if I was still shaking.
Thanks to this, Yuwon walked leisurely down the street, occasionally glancing back at Pandora, who was walking holding his sleeve.
Even though her face was half covered with a mask, you could tell that she had put a lot of effort into it by looking at her eyes and cheeks that were slightly exposed.
Even though the makeup was a little clumsy.
‘Is this the first time I’ve seen you dressed up like this?’
When I thought about it, I had never felt anything like this before.
Pandora has never dressed up properly or put on makeup.
This was something that had never happened in at least the past 10 years.
‘It’s pretty.’
Meanwhile, Yuwon looked at the mask Pandora was wearing.
I wrote it because I felt burdened by people’s attention, but it inevitably seemed frustrating.
“stuffy?”
“huh.”
“Then do you want to take it off?”
“Hmm…”
Pandora thought for a moment and shook her head.
“No, it’s okay.”
“…okay?”
After staring at Pandora’s face for a moment, Yuwon put his hand into his inventory.
He took out an identical mask and covered his face with it.
“It’s a bit fair this way.”
“No one recognizes Yuwon anyway?”
“I’m not doing it for other people anyway.”
“then?”
“Because of how you feel.”
Pandora, who was glancing at Yuwon wearing the black mask from the side, opened her mouth and said,
“You look like a villain.”
It was a voice that seemed to have a hint of laughter
in it. Usually, he didn’t laugh much, but he seemed to be in a good mood to go out. Yuwon
and Pandora went out into the city.
The whole time they were walking together, Yuwon kept glancing into Pandora’s eyes.
What on earth was going on? Why is it so amazing?
‘It shines.’
Pandora was looking around like a child, but there was nothing interesting in the direction of her gaze. Nevertheless,
Pandora’s eyes were sparkling like a child visiting an amusement park for the first time.
“Amusement park, amusement park!”
Pandora hurriedly calls out to her,
“Look at that!”
Pandora raised her voice.
Looking in the direction she pointed, one of the residents was buying cotton candy for her daughter.
“The clouds are on a stick.”
“Why cotton candy…”
Yuwon asked, wondering if it could be possible.
“…Is this your first time seeing cotton candy?”
“Is that cotton candy?”
I guess I really didn’t know.
cotton candy.
It was a common snack not only in the district where Yuwon lived, but also in the tower.
Like children, Pandora showed great interest when she found a small cloud-like cotton candy the size of her face.
“Wait a minute.”
Yuwon bought the largest cotton candy sold on the street.
The closer Yuwon came, the brighter Pandora’s eyes sparkled.
“Try it.”
Yuwon blocked Pandora’s path with his body so that she could take off her mask.
Her face was obscured by the height difference, so she took off her mask and admired the colorful pink cotton candy.
“Wow…”
Pandora was worried at first because she didn’t know how to eat it, but soon she took a small piece of cotton candy with her finger and brought it to her mouth.
Even though she didn’t, she liked sweets.
It was only made with melted sugar, but it was the first time Pandora had tasted it fell in love with the fluffy sweetness of cotton candy.
After that, Pandora stopped eating only after eating several more pieces of cotton candy.
And after that.
“Amusement park! Look at this! It’s a horse monster…”
“It’s just makeup.”
“There’s someone fighting over there, we need to help…”
“We’re performing. Stop.”
“All of this is free, amusement park.”
“Because it’s unlimited refills. Just wait, you can’t take it home!”
While they were together, Yuwon had to explain things she didn’t know all day long.
When she came out of the small house, there were many things she didn’t know.
It was her first time mixing in with people.
Until now, the only people in her world were Yuwon and Hercules Son Goku. It was.
No.
‘Was Zeus also there?’
Zeus.
The guy who gave Pandora the box containing Azathoth’s memories and imprisoned her in the dungeon of Olympus for a long time.
Due to his actions, Pandora lived without knowing the things that an ordinary person should enjoy.
‘Next time you see me, hit me. I guess I should give it to you.’
When Yu-won was thinking about the day when he would meet Zeus.
“Yu-won, Yu-won!”
Pandora
tugged on Yuwon’s sleeve.
“Look at that.”
“that?”
Yuwon’s eyes moved along Pandora’s Pass.
Amid the bustling crowd,
he saw people gathering and making bets.
“It’s not every day! It’s a match against the top ranker who visited the first floor! Players and residents will be judged. “No problem! Everyone, please experience this thrill!”
A middle-aged man with a large hat and a cane in his hand playing the harp.
And players and residents extending their hands to the man, hoping to participate in the game.
Yuwon looked at the scene and asked,
“Does it look fun?”
“That’s not right.”
“then?”
“….”
Seeing Pandora not answering, Yuwon tilted his head.
Then,
‘Ah.’
Yuwon found what Pandora was looking for and nodded,
“You said you’re good at waiting, right?”
“huh.”
“Then stay here and wait a moment.”
Sigh.
After stroking Pandora’s head once, Yuwon walked towards the man who was soliciting customers.
“I’ll pick it up soon.”
The world refers to a ranker who is in the top 10 percent of the rankings as a ‘top ranker.’
It means that he or she is a person who has been recognized for his or her special influence and skill achievements among the rankers.
In that respect, Cyric was on a par with the top rankers.
His The abilities were hallucination, deception, conspiracy, and lies.
Most of them specialized in deceiving and confusing the opponent rather than combat.
‘I underestimated Asgard too much.’
Although he was a high ranker, his nickname was not that great.
Cyric the Trickster.
It was an insulting nickname rather than an honorable one.
Nevertheless, Cyric was not too ashamed of his name. However,
he wasted the money he had wasted by defrauding Asgard. I just thought it was a waste.
‘Still, I’m glad.’
Shock shock-.
Cyric quickly shuffled the 10 overturned cups and watched the message that came into his head.
[100 points obtained.]
[100 points obtained.]
[100 points…. ]
‘Thanks to idiots, it’s easy to make money.’
100 points for each challenge.
Cyric smiled inwardly as he looked at the foolish customers who took on the challenge because they were blinded by the prize.
To the players downstairs, the name ‘Ranker’ was like sweet honey.
To them, Ranker. He was an object of envy and was nothing short of a mentor.
However, among such rankers, deceiving people and extorting money from Cyric, who was ranked high, was as easy as breathing. ‘If I just
hang on here for a while and collect about 1 million points, I can go. ….’
Just like
that, Cyric was turning over the cup to mix it up and calculating the date in his head.
“Can I just guess where the marble is?”
The black-haired man approached Cyric and asked,
‘You’re here again.’
The man’s tone was a little annoying, but Cyric didn’t mind.
If he revealed his feelings to this extent, he wouldn’t have been called a fraud in the first place.
“That’s right. I’ll mix the cups, so you can find the marble.”
Cyric covered his face with a mask, smiled kindly at the challenger, and raised his hand on the table.
“Now then, let’s begin.”
The rules of the game were simple.
First, find the marble among 10 randomly mixed cups.
Second, find the marble. When you find it, you get the first prize or try the next game with 11 cups.
The more challenges you take, the bigger the product becomes.
“At first, lightly…”
Shak Shashak Shasha Shak-.
Cyric moved his hand.
As he quickly mixed the translucent cup, the people watching exclaimed in exclamation.
“Ohh….”
“Hand. “Can’t you see this?”
“I think I can see a little bit…”
“Did you see it?”
“I think it’s over there.”
“I saw the complete opposite?”
“You ignorant things. It’s in the middle.”
People’s opinions were completely divided.
Those who pretended to be sure of the location of the marble and those who raised both hands and feet, saying they had no idea.
Cyric deliberately used his hand to make the location of the marble visible every once in a while, so that the next challenger would be the next challenger. They were encouraging people to come out.
Moreover,
‘the probability is 1 in 10 anyway.’
Human psychology is simple.
On the outside, it may seem like a game of tracking marbles with your eyes and guessing their positions, but in reality, there was no one here who could follow Cyric’s hand with their eyes. In that case, there was only one way.
Gambling
.
10 All you have to do is take one of the cups.
Pak.
Cyric, who was quickly mixing the cups, stopped.
“You know the rules, right?”
Weeeeeee.
Cyric’s red eyes looked at the man standing in front of him.
“You can choose a cup that seems to contain a double bead.”
Yu-won stared at the cup containing the marble.
Among the cups spread out on the wide table. Yu-won’s eyes were on Cyric’s face.
“You’re missing the bottom.”
Cyric looked embarrassed.
Yuwon, with an irritated look on his face, said firmly,
“There are no marbles here.”
