Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 173
Episode 173. Night Reception (2)
Outside the Tower of Trials.
Countless people waited for the whole story of the incident to be revealed without sleeping until the day dawned.
That’s right.
Outstanding rankers from all over the world headed to the first floor, but the situation inside was completely wrapped in a veil.
In addition, in China, the Chinese Guild had disappeared due to an unknown monster.
It was a natural result that everyone’s curiosity exploded.
But just then
[A new video has been updated in the Hall of Fame.]
The long-awaited video has been uploaded.
And the video…
was a surprise itself.
[The video plays.]
It was a giant scorpion wrapped in black skin that turned the city into hell.
overwhelming majesty.
The players of the Chinese Guild, which was said to be the strongest in China, were torn to shreds.
Of course, the Chinese Guild also tried to create a gap by taking advantage of the numbers, but it was all futile.
one person per room.
It took less than a few minutes for dozens of players to turn into corpses.
But just then
someone showed up
…the air has changed.
The Black Scorpion, which was so strong, fell in one blow.
I couldn’t even discern with my own eyes how they were attacking.
-Shank’s left arm!: It’s Kang Jin-hyuk! That person is Kang Jin-hyeok!
-Red Rabbit: Somehow. I thought some crazy guy came forward.
-To me, chicken is murder: it is possible with Kang Jin-hyeok. really crazy How can you fight like that? than now. Is it true that you caught that huge scorpion in one shot? Isn’t this like editing?
-zlrot7885: no editing. I can’t reveal my name either, but I live by editing videos for famous guilds, but there’s no trace of me touching the videos. It’s 100% steamed.
-End of Life: How much stronger have you become? At this point, isn’t it the level of a kangaroo mixed with Australian wallabies?
– Wild geese are gireokgireok: Yes. 3 to 5 tons cheap kangaroo.
china.
No, even the Chinese guild, which prided itself on being the world’s strongest, left helplessly and one player dealt with the monster, so of course the reaction is hot.
The last scene of using ‘Star’s Protection’ and the part about sweet potatoes were edited, but this alone was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
The highlight was an interview with Shaoting that followed less than an hour after Jinhyeok’s video was uploaded on the bulletin board of honor.
It was an interview conducted by a view tuber whose main content is dealing with the daily lives of world-famous rankers after visiting China.
“Brothers. hello. I’m going to fly to China again this morning and become the center of attention, really… really! I was able to recruit with difficulty. Let’s see right away without having to talk long.”
‘Lemon Tree’, a popular view tuber with yellow hair, waved at the camera.
Like a view tuber with 3 million subscribers, the progress was neat.
As the camera rotated, a woman with long straight hair wearing a black suit was caught.
“My name is Shaoting, who is in charge of the Chief of Staff of the Chinese Guild Headquarters.”
“hello. Shaoting player. Since we don’t have much time, I’ll ask a few questions that viewers are most curious about. first. In the video, the main attack group and Namgungcheon players, which can be said to be the main force of the Chinese guild, were not visible. Where the hell have you all gone?”
“Me too… I don’t know. No matter how much I tried to contact my superiors, it didn’t work.”
“You mean they all ran away.”
Lemon Tree touched a sensitive spot, but Xiao Ting did not deny it.
In fact, no one from China showed up until after all the fighting.
“The comrades who were with us risked their lives to evacuate civilians, but it was not enough for us.”
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t inflict even the slightest wound on despair.
but.
“Thanks to player Kang Jin-hyeok, we were able to safely evacuate the citizens.”
“Did you ask for something in return?”
“no.”
Shaoting shook his head slightly.
“He said he genuinely wanted to save people.”
There is no need for a reason for humans to save humans.
Jinhyeok left China without adding a word like that.
– Noryangjin Teojutdaegam: The new kimchi that I put in the refrigerator at home is about to become grand.
-Shank’s left arm!: Wow. After all, this is the real ranker. It’s the player I’m subscribed to. really.
-Red Rabbit: Needs to be pushed at the national level. brother Kang. It seems that there is no publicity effect to promote Korea.
– Return of Saeyoung: In fact, it already exists among players. At most, Unknown or the woman floating in India this time should be worth rubbing against.
-They ate well: They say that it was thanks to Jinhyeok hyung that they added a condition to tell players not to die in the labyrinth.
-Bee Gongdu: I think I will become a fan of Jin.
-Fire trucks don’t stop NAVER: Honestly, I’m the same guy, but I think I’ll fall for him.
-When you come, Merona: After searching, it’s creepy that Gongdyu is a man and the fire engine is a woman.
Comments praising Jinhyuk poured in like crazy.
The traffic has soared to the point that the ViewTube server is paralyzed, so it hurts my mouth to say any more.
and.
“I’m not that nice.”
Jinhyuk, who read the comments meticulously, nodded.
The guys around me complain a lot, calling me the devil or Satan.
‘As expected, the only people who know my true value are my subscribers.’
This is why there is nothing wrong with the old saying that if you live a good life, blessings will come.
Ellis, who was next to him, looked at Jinhyeok with a shocked face.
“Are you good? You’re not serious, are you? About the president of a vicious company.”
It’s the look in your eyes as if you heard something you couldn’t hear.
“Saying that there is no other company that is as interested in the welfare of its employees as our company…”
“What kind of bastard’s welfare while working penniless? Even the goblin slaves subordinate to the Ataraxia family will receive more than that.”
“…”
Damn it. I have nothing to say.
However, if you back down from here, it will be a vicious situation that will remain in the world.
Jinhyeok quickly squeezed out the words to refute.
“Can’t you see the employees struggling every day for their growth? You want to live well together? How hard are you working?”
“That’s what you take advantage of while growing up, carrying it around as a side leg.”
“…”
This time, it was blocked.
This damned mosquito knows every detail of the inside because they stick together so much.
This is why whistleblowers are the scariest.
If so…
“Is there any evidence that I actually did that? Don’t catch harsh people with words, give objective evidence.”
The principle of presumption of innocence. evidence attention.
There are great laws in the world.
“Sounds like proof. The judge will shed tears of blood even if you gather only the testimonies of the children who signed a slave contract with you. I didn’t know, but even sweet potatoes were tricked into using them?”
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato also swung its tail from side to side with its cheeks inflated.
Maybe it means he’s angry.
With the witnesses coming out, it became a situation where this could not be subtracted or beaten.
However, there is one fact that even Alice overlooked.
There are ways in the world to bribe witnesses.
“Our sweet potato. Have you been struggling a lot? yes yes I know everything.”
Jinhyeok gently stroked Sweet Potato’s hair.
Before he knew it, he was holding a large magic crystal in his right hand.
A ‘green magic stone’ bought at a coin exchange for 100,000 coins.
When I sprinkled seasoning that suited the taste of the ancient species with ‘Different World Restaurant’, I thought of the perfect snack.
Brilliant green waves formed in the sweet potato’s pupils.
This will be unbearable.
“mosquito!”
Mouthwater flowed from the sweet potato’s mouth.
“hey! I’m not trying to placate you with something dishonest to eat!”
Elise shouted.
Of course it’s useless.
Misread! Misleading!
It was because the sweet potato, which had already fallen into the magic crystal, was holding the magic crystal tightly with both hands and chewing on it.
“Gumaya. Did I use you?”
“mosquito?”
“Isn’t it?”
“mosquito!”
It’s done with this.
＊＊＊
When Jinhyeok entered the ballroom with Alice, the inside was already crowded with people.
Whoa.
‘All the precious people have come.’
Jinhyeok exclaimed.
Unlike the first prom, which consisted only of players, this time, a lot of heavyweights from the middle class came down.
In particular, the residents of the ‘Empire’, who overtook their rivals and proudly took the first place, were different from that aspect.
From the sword master Pennheimer.
A High Priest who serves the 8th Circle Great Mage and Goddess Ferris, the only three in the Empire. And even Alfred, who is called the Iron Chancellor.
All those who could be called the real power of the empire gathered in one place.
‘Even if I introduce myself just once, the players will tremble.’
It’s not even an imperial wedding. To be honest, I never imagined that I would see this many members on the first floor.
In addition, Moorim’s side has also gathered quite strong members.
Mo Yong-soo, a member of the 5th generation family, was away, but young masters who seemed to be figures of shamans and volcanoes, including the Namgung family, stood out.
Well,
no matter how hot he was, he couldn’t blow away the players’ chance to win.
Especially now, when the use of the Chinese card has drastically declined.
In addition, the elemental side and small and medium powers were also visible.
‘The third force…’
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed.
A special faction composed of intelligent monsters that are neither residents nor players.
Like the Caracal of the Frostblade Tribe we met in the freshwater lake, or Andrea, the owner of the psychiatric ward, they were aliens, but they joined forces to exert influence on the tower.
‘It’s definitely a force with charm.’
It wasn’t mainstream, but it was definitely a place with its own merits.
It was then.
In the distance, I saw Chun Yu-seong and Theresa entering the ballroom.
In contrast to Chun Yoo-seong in a white suit, Teresa in a black dress.
‘Is there still an aftermath?’
Theresa, with her rather tired face, was clearly different from before.
Maybe…
“If it were you, would you know? What does it mean to corrupt a saintess?”
Alice spat out Jinhyeok’s thoughts instead.
“…okay. It can be a double-edged sword.”
Know.
That it’s not easy.
but.
“It is absolutely necessary.”
From the moment they cross the 20th floor, players will taste completely unknown territory.
It means that you can never go to the top with normal methods and growth.
So, in order to survive, it was necessary to become strong.
“okay. What are you thinking?”
“What is it? Do you trust me?”
“Even though it’s sinister, I always make the right decisions. And shouldn’t there be at least one person who believes in you?”
Hmm.
Is this a little thrilling?
Well, even though Alice always grumbled, she always supported my decisions.
Even in the middle of having to climb the tower in solitude…
…I wonder if he’s one of the few comrades I can open up to.
“With that in mind, let me ask you a favor.”
Jinhyuk put something on the table.
and.
“This… can’t it?”
Seeing that, Alice’s eyebrows curled in reverse.
