Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 16
Episode 16 Awakening Test (1)
The next day, the three headed to the Seoul Arts Center, where the Awakened Association was located.
The first thing that caught my eye was a 150-story skyscraper.
Jinhyuk raised his head.
I could see the ends of the buildings touching the clouds.
“Is this because it was constructed with the unique ability of the architecture field?”
I’ve heard of it, but it’s really great. You finished this in a month, right?
“This is the headquarters of the Awoken Association. It also manages tests and handles all tasks related to the Tower of Trials here.”
“and. Come to think of it, it’s already been 3 weeks. My heart was shaking a lot when I was taking the test.”
“Eh, is this a joke? You’re going to beat King Kong with your bare hands, so what? why Didn’t the examiner get scared when he saw you?”
“Oh my goodness. Is that what you said to me, Taemin?”
Yoo Yeon-hwa smiled brightly.
The eyes are smiling, but the tail of the mouth is the same.
That moment.
creepy
Goosebumps appeared on Jinhyeok and Lee Taemin’s skin.
This is…
similar pressure to the first time I met the Minotaur.
I’m probably mistaken.
…maybe.
“…”
Lee Taemin also swallowed dry saliva.
And quickly changed the subject.
“ah! right. If hyung comes out this time, why don’t the three of us join the same guild?”
“Guild?”
What guild suddenly?
“’Dangun’ or ‘Father to Fight’ are not well received by newcomers, but hyung and we should be able to pass. To be honest, from the 15th floor, it is impossible to attack without a healer or buff debuff…”
Oh, did you mean that?
Well, it wasn’t once or twice before that a small number entered a labyrinth or ruins and was annihilated.
No matter how tall you are, the higher you go, the more you will hit the limit in numbers.
The two judged that it was efficient to grow with strong helpers.
‘Tsk tsk.’
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inside.
‘That’s why I didn’t fail to climb the tower.’
Experience. item. Hidden Peace.
I’m busy making everything with solo, but if I’m with my colleagues, I have to share it all, right?
If you really want to be with them, it’s enough for you to use them and then throw them away.
“I think I should make it clear at this point, but I have no intention of belonging to any guild.”
It’s just disgusting to be tied down.
Especially if the higher guilds are instructing them to do this and that.
“then. My brother, me, and Yeonhwa noona are the three of us going?”
“No, even if you do that, the efficiency will decrease as well.”
It’s a waste to share it with three people.
The best way is….
“Let’s make it a rule to move separately, but let’s do it together only in a specific section. The two of you must have come together, so I won’t stop that, but I’m more comfortable alone.”
yes this is the best
“It’s hard to do three or three, but even that goes separately?”
“brother. Isn’t that too dangerous?”
The two of them made faces that seemed hard to believe.
That’s right.
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa are deceased figures who have climbed the Tower of Trials to the 20th floor.
That means you put a lot of time and effort into it.
That’s why I knew better than anyone.
No matter how low a floor is, solo play is no different from suicide.
But there was something that even those two didn’t know.
There is a class even among the deceased.
And…
the fact that there is a player who wandered alone in Mangem, where everyone left, and eventually saw the end.
“Let’s start with the test. We should go soon before there are more people.”
Jinhyeok smiled and headed towards the building.
“uh…? Uh uh.”
“It should be…”
Two people with bewildered faces followed behind him.
＊＊＊
“Come on, please take a numbered ticket and wait for your turn!”
“The D-09 group test will be held soon, so if you qualify, please go to the test center!”
Despite being a weekday, the inside was filled with people who came to see the test.
It seems that the temptation of the top is really great.
Seeing how it seduced so many people.
“Please please give me a good grade. I don’t even want it until D-class. Even if it’s E-class, please.”
“Even if I can only enter a top 10 guild, my life will bloom…”
“I want to sign a direct contract with the Awakened Association. is it good Wear your official ID card around your neck and be proud.”
If you are judged below F grade, you will be deprived of even the opportunity to go to the second floor, let alone the snow painting of a higher guild.
That’s why everyone prayed earnestly with the hope of winning the lottery.
himself.
Be different from others.
of course.
Jinhyuk’s gaze at them was cold.
‘Even if they enter the tower, they won’t survive for even a month.’
At best, it was obvious that he would become a loser staying on that floor, having compromised with reality.
No, I’d rather be aware of the fountain and stay calm.
It was even more of a headache if I was clumsy and grabbed my ankle.
Jinhyeok looked away and pulled out a numbered ticket.
[E-01 Group]
‘It’s worth coming early.’
Currently, Group D is halfway through.
You’ll only have to wait about an hour.
“But what day is it today? Do you think there are too many reporters than usual?”
Taemin looked around and tilted his head.
Even at a rough estimate, dozens of reporters were waiting for someone with cameras.
They looked like puppies who were anxiously squirming all over their bodies.
“I know. It’s kind of weird.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa also added a word as if affirming.
I don’t know if it’s four or five at most.
There was no gathering of reporters of this size unless a prospect from a large guild came.
Are there any unknown events?
The moment I thought…
boom boom!
Suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance.
A group of people entered the building with someone shouting.
“Park Ha-na! It’s Park Ha-na from the Black Crow Guild!”
Park Hana.
How could I not know?
A hot topic rookie who heated up the media and the Internet through the Hall of Fame.
“and. Is that woman Park Ha-na? Did you enter the labyrinth on the first day and come out alive?”
“…tired. I watched it continuously through the View Tube, but I never thought I would see it in person today.”
“Beside him is Park Ha-jin. I heard you made a deal with the Chinese side a while ago.”
Faces that stand out together.
Besides Park Ha-na and Park Ha-jin, there was another person who caught people’s attention at once.
“Oh my God, there is also Kim Ki-tae from the Father to Fight Guild!”
chump chump chump!
Camera flashes went off all over the place.
One of the seven largest guilds in the world and the second-largest guild in Korea, Brawl Abi.
And even the executive level rankers there.
“Don’t miss a single scene!”
“With a frontal shot. Take a picture with three people together!”
Reporters were thrilled.
No, I couldn’t help but admire it.
This kind of scoop is more than enough to decorate the first page.
＊＊＊
“Whoa.”
Huge body, approaching 190 cm.
Kim Ki-tae lowered his sunglasses slightly and let out a sigh mixed with annoyance.
“Why are people so busy? All dogs and cows are being tested now. What is it?”
“It seems that more and more people are dreaming of making a fortune. Why aren’t there a lot of people who believe that the tower is the only opportunity to rise in the world these days?”
Park Ha-jin answered immediately.
“Anyway, the bugs want to suck the honey again. Don’t you know that there’s no point in struggling?”
Well, if I had known, I wouldn’t have tried it in the first place.
Knowing the fountain, I will live squished.
“Anyway, have a good day today. It was all because of your brother and sister that I purposely came this far, but if I made a mistake… you know?”
“Of course.”
“Do not worry. I’ll do better.”
Park Ha-jin and Park Ha-na nodded.
It’s a golden rope that I barely caught.
somehow
whatever number
It must be successful.
And the plan was already perfectly laid out.
“Because we don’t have much time, we get rid of the people in line. I can’t just sit here for hours while the reporters are waiting.”
Park Ha-jin nodded towards the tall people next to him.
OK.
“Let’s pave the way.”
“Hey, can’t you see people passing by? stick to the left and right left and right!”
“Move quickly. Don’t get beaten up while messing around.”
Players belonging to the Black Crow Guild split the line.
The roads parted as Moses parted the Red Sea.
There were no voices of dissatisfaction there.
“greatness!”
“Where did you put the documents with your personal information…”
Even the Awakened Association officials turned their eyes away and turned away.
This is the reality.
That the signboard of a higher guild is above laws and rules.
however.
The hulking steps stopped abruptly.
Three people were blocking the road without getting out of the way.
To be precise, two people holding back and one holding out.
In particular, the guy who was holding out was leisurely sipping ice water from a mineral water bottle.
“What are you? Didn’t you hear the word Vicky?”
“Vicky? why me?”
Jinhyuk tilted his head.
no seriously.
I pulled out a numbered ticket and waited for my turn, so why is it called Vicky?
If you had just arrived, you would have been assigned to group F?
‘Oh no way…’
As if thinking of something, Jinhyeok pushed the number tag into the big man’s face.
“This is the alphabet used in America… It starts with A, BC D, and then E. Then F. If you don’t know, memorize it now.”
Yeah, maybe you don’t know the order.
Usually, we learn from elementary school.
My heart is pounding.
‘It’s unfortunate.’
Do you have any difficult family affairs?
“Someone doesn’t know that, so ask!”
The hulking face flushed red.
“Poop!”
“What kind of eye-level education is this?”
A roar of laughter emanated from the indiscriminate joke.
“…”
Kim Ki-tae, who was watching, frowned, but did not step forward.
It’s like it’s something like this that needs to be solved on its own.
at last.
“Shit assholes. Get out of the way!”
Park Ha-jin, who was behind, stepped forward.
“I don’t know what he is doing, but he is making a mistake. It’s not too late, so be quiet. Before you grind it up and drink it.”
Threaten once and for all.
‘Is this the older brother Park Ha-na mentioned?’
Looking at his eyes, he doesn’t seem to have any hesitation in actually killing a single person.
It’s fun.
How could it be that siblings can’t figure out the subject matter so much the same?
“Everything is fine, but can we talk about it a little further? My eyes sting from the smell of my breath.”
Jinhyuk held his nose with his hand and frowned.
“Tongue brother?”
Lee Tae-min was startled and grabbed Jin-hyeok’s wrist.
“brother! what’s the matter?”
What surprised me was Yoo Yeon-hwa.
“crazy!”
“Did I hear you right? that person now To Park Ha-jin…”
“I decided to die. Are you insane?”
Even the onlookers opened their mouths.
of course.
The most amazing thing was Park Ha-jin, the person involved.
“you… what now…?”
The blood drained from Park Ha-jin’s face.
“The thing on the neck is not a head, but a dumpling? The air seems to be polluted just by breathing, so it means to close your teeth up and down.”
Jinhyuk smiled and wrapped the words a little prettier.
It’s a bonus that they put a ribbon on the poop.
“This bastard. hey. can you afford this? If you think you won’t be able to touch it because you have a lot of eyes right now…”
“Oh no way. What are you afraid of who are nothing other than the Fighting Fathers Guild?”
“It’s nothing if it’s not a fighting father’s guild?”
“Right? Doing well in Korea is the father to fight. Are you guys and.”
Jinhyeok shrugged and continued.
“What is the name of the black crow? A black crow?”
It’s not like there’s a white crow.
“Where are you missing?”
Or a poet or a literary boy?
Ambiguous expressions are allowed there.
Whatever it is, I can’t understand the naming sense.
“this! You worm-like bastard! You really wanted to die, so you went crazy!”
Park Ha-jin stretched out his sword as if he had nothing to look at.
Obviously…
“You started first?”
In an instant, the air suddenly changed.
It’s so cold that you get goosebumps all over your body.
