Shincon’s One Coin Clear - Chapter 17
Episode 17. Street of Murder (4)
[Goddess’ Mischief: Non-first attack on monsters in the stage. Significantly increased agility. When attacked, there is a 10% chance of a blessing from the goddess or mischief.]
The sun swallowed a sigh inwardly.
‘I’m glad it’s real.’
[‘KKTheBest’ donated KRW 1000,000!]
[Goddess’ Protection → Shield Goddess’ Mischief → Enhance]
-Mr. What kind of support is burning a million won at a time?
-My monthly salary in 3 hours.
– It looks like the money is rotting away.
-If you’re KK, you’re not someone who has to worry about money.
-Isn’t Yoon Taeyang like that too?
-That’s it too.
“A shield is a shield. Enhancement is a buff, right?”
-huh. it will be right
Then the system window popped up.
[Exchanging air and water.]
[A blue light falls on player Taeyang Yoon.]
Blue light.
I have a reason to go a little more quietly than before.
Taeyang searched a few more surrounding buildings, focusing on reducing his presence.
“hmm. It looks like you’ve looked all around.”
I checked the supplies that Taeyang farmed.
Elixir that raises stats necessary for battle, such as muscle strength and reflexes.
The performance wasn’t bad.
There was no elixir-level doping item like Apophis’ venom gland, but it was a strange thing to eat Apophis’ venom gland in the first place.
One regrettable thing is that there is no doping item that is the raw material of the combination.
-Let’s just eat this.
“okay.”
An immediate increase in power was also a necessary factor.
Aaaaaaagh!
As the sun consumed the elixir, a tearing scream was heard from somewhere.
– Oh, that’s a surprise.
“Is there a battle around?”
– Let’s avoid it for now.
The street of murder was divided into three districts.
A residential district centered on apartment villas
A factory district lined with factories.
And the commercial district with all kinds of shops and markets.
There are no people, but it is separated by buildings.
The texture of the supplies that came out frequently in each district was also different.
In the residential district, the type that jumped relatively well, and in the factory district, high-quality equipment and commercial district leap and equipment came out equally.
At this time the Sun was in the residential Earth.
“Shall we turn towards the factory district?”
factory district.
This is where most of the equipment comes from.
Even though I couldn’t consume it in ‘The Goddess’ Mischief’, I even got ‘Apopis’ Poison Gland’.
Even though it was farming for a short time, the farming status of doping items was not bad.
-huh. Let’s go get the equipment. Your outfit is too shabby right now.
There was a sufficient supply of doping items, but only one equipment item was obtained.
“Equipment is just as important as doping items.”
-From a macro perspective, equipment is more important.
Doping items are only applied in the Street of Murder stage, but equipment is not.
It means that it can be used in the next stage as well.
Thanks to this, the factory district was the most densely populated area for players.
If you can get the same extra power, you’ll want more sustainable equipment than a one-time elixir.
-Isn’t the factory district the most explosive?
-But you can’t not farm equipment.
-ㅇㅇㅇ There aren’t many stages that spread equipment like this.
Farming of equipment.
It is an important factor.
‘But that’s not what’s important in the factory district.’
Over 10 factories.
In one of them was the key to the landmark clock tower in the center of the city.
The clock tower is an ordinary building on the outside, but inside it was a hidden stage filled with clockwork soldiers.
And on top of that was an artifact.
It is not an Artifact of the level of using Firestorm encountered in the snake’s den, but an Artifact of tremendous performance with enough performance to change the player’s fighting style.
There are even a few stages where clearing is guaranteed just by obtaining this artifact.
‘It’s called a graduation item.’
This is why Hyun-hye liked ‘Ophelia’s Chocolate’.
With the Elixir ‘Goddess’ Mischief’, I was able to ignore the Clockwork Soldiers and steal the Artifact.
The sun, which was heading towards the factory earth, suddenly asked.
“Originally, every stage has one hidden stage?”
-singly? no. 2. There may be three. All I know is this
“oh. Maybe other people will know?”
Just as KK taught me the secret elixir recipe.
-… … yes. In the past, they didn’t tell me even if they knew about it, but things are different these days.
The sun glanced at the chat window.
The chat window was surprisingly quiet.
– It’s okay, right?
-Is it true that 20,000 people are watching here?
-lol.
-All of you useless bastards hahaha.
-How can you keep silent without leaving a single person out hahahaha.
While moving to the factory district, the sun caught in the middle of the day.
A gloomy city.
Even though it was full light, there was still no one walking around.
What is unusual is that all the buildings damaged in the battle have been restored.
All objects within the killing distance returned to their pre-broken appearance after a certain period of time.
The sun soon found the clock tower.
The clock tower was the reference line dividing the central three districts of the city.
“That means we have to climb to the top of this tower.”
rattle. rattle.
The door was still locked.
“Cabi.”
The sun passed through the clock tower and entered the factory district.
***
The demon lord Andromalius, Dantalian, and the 68th rank demon lord Belial gathered together and sat across the table.
Andromalius, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his mouth.
“Mute, the tiger beast. That guy who came in recently was the most worth seeing.”
Dantalian nodded in agreement.
“In the lower section, there are places where the Beasts definitely run out.”
“What about the beastmen who went upstairs? The guys I saw looked like they had buds. The same goes for the four people on this floor.”
Belial, a woman with a sensual body and a languid impression, shook her head.
“Individual armed potential is not bad, but the higher you go up, the more you see its limits. Especially from the 37th floor.”
“Why?”
“They don’t even think about joining forces with other players. Dantalian Unfortunately, I think this attempt was wrong. Beasts don’t fit in the dimensional labyrinth.”
said Andromalius, petting my pet snake.
“surely. Cooperation is necessary from the 37th floor onwards.”
“On the contrary, due to the conflict, some demon kings complained. Those who aren’t even ‘human’ run amok in the human camp.”
“hmm. I’ll have to come up with a stage to tame them.”
“Can I? These guys are imprinted like that from the beginning of their DNA.”
Dantalian grinned.
“Anyway, thanks to the guys, isn’t it a pleasure to see them in between? like now. I think that is enough.”
Belial shook her head.
“It’s not enough. Do you know how many complaints there are these days that humans are being pushed behind on the frontlines? Purkas even said that if it continues like this, he will change over there.”
“Humans have never been stronger than Orcs or Elves. From the beginning of the Labyrinth until now, it has always been the same. Aren’t our demon kings the ones who came in after seeing the reverse match? You don’t have to pay attention to that.”
Dantalian nodded.
“Man tribe. It’s hard to handle, but it’s obviously incompetent potential is high enough. If only a few show adaptability, we’ll break even. By the way, where will everyone be living this time?”
“Oh, you mean.”
bet.
In fact, it is pruning to select promising players by borrowing the framework of betting. It is to create an environment
in which players who seem weak and unlikely are weeded out and
those who appear strong and promising are rewarded.
When this pruning work goes well, the fun of seeing it from the position of the demon lords has increased.
The content of the bet was simple.
The demon kings each choose one player.
The most superior looking player.
Fight them and give a reward to one player who wins.
Belial spoke first.
“What are the conditions? clear? How many achievements?”
Dantalian replied.
“How about attaching it once in a while? who is the strongest I think the picture will come out easily if you just decide the mission target for this stage.”
Andromalius twitched his eyebrows.
“Are you asking me to manipulate the stage?”
“It’s not manipulation. Isn’t this much up to the discretion of the demon lord of the floor in charge? This is not an arena for power battles after the 37th floor.”
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem. I like it.”
Dantalian grinned.
“The rewards that will fall to the players are um. Andromalius, since it’s your layer, how about searching for Noble Phantasms?”
‘Searching for Noble Phantasm’ is a rare level disposable skill card that gains a synergy of deadly poison +1 thief +1 wizard +1 when slotted.
When a skill is used, there is a function that informs the location of a card with a unique grade or higher in the corresponding stage. It can be used only when the level is unique or higher.
“great.”
Following Belial’s agreement, Andromalius nodded as well.
Now it’s time to choose your players.
The player was struck by Belial.
“I’ll bet on the tiger’s rim.”
“What? Didn’t you hate the beast race?”
“Irrespective of emotions, judgment should be made rationally. Level of supply and demand for skills and supplies. Aggressiveness. At least on this 5th floor stage, he is the strongest.”
Dantalian turned to Andromalius.
“That one?”
“I bet on beastmen too. Valkar, the wolf beast. If you lead a life-and-death fight to the end, the one with grit will win in the end.”
Dantalian smiled lightly.
“You two belong to the beast tribe.”
Belial looked at Dantalian.
“I am curious about your choice. What remains is blur. Are you Arin, the fox beast? I’m sorry Because there was no ‘guy’ who went up first.”
“Even if there is, Belial, you would have struck first.”
“oh. Caught.”
“surely… … . The other remaining players aren’t even comparable to the Beasts.”
Dantalian opened his mouth.
“I’ll bet on player Yun Taeyang.”
Andromalius’ eyes lit up.
“Yun Taeyang? The skills are at a high level, but it must have been less than a day since you came in? Isn’t the difference in supply level significant?”
“Andromalius. Are you a player you know?”
Belial asked.
Belial was the Demon Lord in charge of the 7th to 9th floors, so he was relatively ignorant of the players on the lower floors.
Andromalius replied.
“He ranks first among players from ‘Earth’. The speed of supply and demand for achievements is close to the previous level.”
“Ah Earth.”
Belial’s expression darkened.
Most demon kings thought that humans from Earth were only chaff with a lot of numbers.
This tendency became more severe for the demon king in charge of the higher floors, because the limits of the players from Earth seemed clearer as they went upstairs.
They even recently refused to climb the labyrinth as a group.
It is said that refusal to climb is a problem that time will solve, but there are few demon kings who like humans from Earth because those who do not have the ability are not sincere.
“Originally, precious jewels are mixed among insignificant stones. Player Yoon Taeyang is such a player.”
“well. Isn’t gold coming from a vein of gold and silver from a vein of silver?”
At Belial’s words, Dantalian shrugged.
“I can’t imagine. Are players from Earth really that great?”
Belial asked with a doubtful face.
She was a person who believed that the background of the earth itself did not match the dimensional labyrinth in the first place.
“You don’t believe me?”
“Honestly. The limit for players from Earth was the 45th floor. On top of that, everyone has degenerated into mediocre players. Did you see it?”
Belial’s words are certainly true.
Dantalian shrugged.
“What I am sure of. Would you like to place a bet this time?”
“In kind?”
“yes. I bet the voice of a wise man that Yoon Taeyang wins.”
Andromalius frowned.
“Are we going to gamble now?”
“I want to walk for fun. for fun. Is there anything you can’t do?”
All sports are like that.
It’s fun enough just to watch it, but the moment a big or small bet is placed, you become more immersed in watching it.
Andromalius leaned back and leaned back in his chair.
“I will fall.”
Dantalian looked at Belial.
“That one?”
“Not bad. I think it will be a good entertainment. I bet 3 mage souls.”
Her cherry lips drew an arc.
“great. The bet is settled.”
Dantalian clapped and clapped.
Andromalius waved his hand and raised the screen to the 5th floor.
“Then let’s see. Whose discernment is the most accurate?”
