Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 187

Chapter 187 The 48th floor

Q&A is over.

The conversation with Bosongsongi and I caused some confusion.

Because the conditions for challenging the 100th floor and the existence of top climbers above the 60th floor have been revealed.

At the same time, there was a lot of controversy about my position.

Thanks to this, the chaos level went up by 1 point.

Although it was difficult for the participants to be sure after Lee Jun-seok took the lead, the heat cooled faster than expected.

Don’t talk too far.

4 It’s not the 50th floor, it’s after the 60th floor.

It was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble, but overall it was a satisfying time.

Except for me, of course.

My mentality was torn because of those who took advantage of the confusion to confess their love to me.

“Whoop whoop.”

“That’s it.”

It is natural to relieve stress during Q&A.

I annihilated the stone rock turtle on the 46th floor and neatly hunted the hidden boss, the 5-star Monster Island Turtle.

The same goes for the 47th floor after that.

In order to use the buff Chihirin gave her, she fired her skills indiscriminately and as a result.

“It’s just dark.”

Most of the field was charred.

Digging everywhere, mountains were smashed, and there were no monsters to be found.

It froze, was struck by electric shock, melted by beams…

Above the hole, underground water or something unknown was coming up.

It was a bloody scene, but I sat down in my seat.

I’ve been running wild for the past few days, but I’m running out of energy.

This is all because of the conversation I had with Bosongsong.

“The guys upstairs are watching me?”

I registered the fusongsongi as a friend while giving the camera and photo registration skill.

Apparently, very little information has been revealed since the 60th floor.

At this point, I would like to hear advice and help.

There was also information obtained from Lee Jun-seok, but the story of a person living in the upper class is more realistic.

“It seems that there are several forces that exist in the upper layers.”

Bo Song-song said that he was still in the mid-60s, so he did not know the details.

There weren’t many people left after the 60th floor.

Did you say that if you only look at the people active in the community, there are roughly 40 of them?

More than you think

There will be people who don’t use the community, so it’s right to see that there are more.

There was a fact that I found out here.

“On the 70th floor and above, channels are opened separately. The 60th floor is the middle ground where both the lower and upper classes can be active.”

By default, communities can only post on channels below the floor they are on.

I’m targeting the 40th floor, so I can write on all channels below the 40th floor.

Channels on the 50th and 60th floors can only be viewed.

Channels on the 70th floor could not be viewed due to lack of access.

You can read it from the 65th floor.

“I’m guessing they’re going to make a difference based on their skills.”

so that they cannot interfere with each other.

Those who went up to the 70th floor or higher said that they could only write on the upper channels because of restrictions.

I wondered why there was so little information about the upper floor, but I thought there was a reason like this.

scratched his head.

It is said that it is rising faster than others, but it is still lacking.

It’s because I’ve confirmed that strong people who are stronger than me and can even compare to NPCs exist.

Those who climbed and came out of the 60th floor are classified as S-class hunters, and the total number worldwide is less than 100.

Among them, about 30 people died fighting named monsters called disasters, and those who died in various accidents and those who retired due to age were excluded, and there are about 50 S-class hunters who are actually active.

That is the current figure, 13 years after the creation of the tower.

that means soon.

“There are as many S-class Hunters as there are people who will overturn the Hunter world once they go outside.”

Monsters beyond the 60th floor, which were thought to be the limit of human beings.

There are over 40 such guys.

The problem is that I don’t know what those who are interested in me think.

After adding as a friend, I remembered talking to Bosongsong via private message.

[Fluffy]: Of course I thought it was on the 60th floor, but it wasn’t… I said something useless.

[Fluffy]: There are not many normal people in the upper class.

[Soggy]: There are nice and weird kids, and there are literal psychopaths.

[Fluffy]: Rookie group in the middle? I don’t think it’s to the point of being called a villain.

[Fluffy]: From what I’ve heard, it seems like some of them are on the 80th floor.

[Fluffy]: Although they say they are a rookie group, they are actually people who have cut ties with large guilds.

As Lee Jun-seok expected, they escaped from a large guild.

No wonder.

Rookies are subject to some kind of restriction.

Because you’ll plant a bomb in your throat that can’t tell you the information.

I don’t think I’ll have a good heart for the guild that did such a thing.

An individual’s military power is already at a level that can stand against a guild.

It is highly likely that he also removed the bomb from his neck.

The question is, why are they paying attention to me?

“It must be because of the attack, right?”

“That’s it.”

“Kiki profit?”

It’s harder to be invisible.

Bosongsongi also said that there are several other groups that are interested in it.

After all, he was leading the biggest force outside of the upper class.

Large guilds have also won, so the current mainstream is the Pejing Alliance.

It was obvious that this time, by revealing the chaos figures, it would get more attention.

together.

[Fluffy]: I have a lot of interest in Evileye.

[Soft Song]: He’s the one who wiped out the rookies.

Another identity, Evileye, was also drawing attention.

This makes sense.

In any case, those who dipped their toes into the guild.

You must have been listening to news from junior rookies.

The problem is that Evileye and Petit Gongdu are the same person.

The guys you’ll meet when you go upstairs.

Will it be hostile or friendly?

It’s not something to worry about right now.

You have to think with your head to know how it will come out when you actually meet.

It is important to build up my strength so that I can respond to any problems.

“In the end, the work to be done is the same.”

Get stronger and head to the top of the tower.

Whether it’s a hunter, an NPC, or a monster, the power to overcome it.

It was necessary even for climbing.

[The duration of the buff fairy’s kiss has ended.]

A message popped up over my head as I made up my mind.

A week has already passed.

I couldn’t even check properly because I was so focused on raising my skill level.

Although the results were good.

The overall skill level has risen significantly.

It has been promoted to AA rank quite a bit, and resistance skills are also on the rise.

Skills such as Digg and Water, which were used in miscellaneous, also improved to some extent.

The attack skills that I use as my main are looking at the latter half of AA rank.

As Chihirin said, the fairy’s kiss was a great buff.

I spent a lot of money to raise my rank, but I have to accept this much.

While using it, I spent more points and raised the shop window to the gold level.

Because in order to raise the skill grade to S grade, you have to use the gold coupon sold in the gold grade shop window.

What does that mean?

[Fire Bomb (AAA) Lv.1]

-Quaaaaaang!

It means that there is a skill that can be promoted to S-class.

The place where I stretched out my hand was a meadow that looked fine.

A huge explosion occurs in its place.

At once, the meadow turned into a lump of charcoal.

The hot air raged and the ground was stained black.

Considering when I first got this skill, it’s a huge improvement.

at this level.

“If I hit a few 5-stars, I’ll catch them.”

A 4-star rating is no longer a concern.

Even if you don’t have to use skills, you can catch it with a few knife cuts.

You can tear it apart with your bare hands.

got stronger

obviously got stronger

“It seems like we still have a long way to go.”

A sense of urgency arises.

The specs themselves are great.

To be honest, I am confident that I can win even against a hunter on the 50th floor.

I don’t know until the 60th floor.

But there was one thing that got in the way.

“Thinking about it, this happened because I promoted all the skills I have now.”

“That’s it.”

Fire Bomb was also a B-class skill at first.

I continued to use it like a pervert and went through promotion after promotion and raised it to AAA level.

in other words.

“It means that I was born with no skills beyond A-class.”

There were various skill grades, but there was no such thing as a born AA level skill or a born AAA level skill.

All of them are upgraded to AA or AAA through promotion.

It’s different from S-class skills.

A native S-class skill. A native SS-class skill. You can get it this way.

If there is only one difference.

[Tip. S-class, SS-class, and SSS-class skills cannot be upgraded.]

[Tip. Special enhancements are possible from birth S-class skills and above.]

Skills with S have no concept of advancement.

together.

[Tip. General skills below A-class can be upgraded up to S-class.]

Skills that were born below A-class have clear limits.

In the end, if you grind and polish what you have now, the end is fixed.

S-class Lv.10.

Whether it’s a fire bomb or an aurora beam, this is the limit.

You need to acquire a higher level skill.

Otherwise, you will eventually hit a wall.

“NPCs are beings who have climbed the tower and must have many skills that have been promoted to S rank.”

So does Kildereth.

Didn’t he just raise his silence skill to S rank?

At that point, quite a few skills are S-grade. It is said that the skill used as the main weapon is more than that.

“Nevertheless, it means we haven’t reached the 100th floor.”

this is true

At first, when I didn’t know anything, I thought I would be able to do it with groundless confidence, but the more time I spent at the tower and the more I knew, the more I realized how difficult it is to take on challenges.

Even so, the option didn’t exist.

Being stuck in a tower for the rest of your life and becoming an honorary NPC is a specification.

Wait…

“What will happen if I’m confined in the tower until the world is destroyed?”

Are you automatically kicked out?

Or transform into a real NPC?

I had goosebumps on my back.

I don’t know if my imagination is lacking, but I didn’t see any good results.

In the worst case, wouldn’t existence itself disappear?

Top is the place where common sense is thrown away.

There was no law against it.

The tower has already been created, and more than 10 years have passed.

How long can our world last?

“Deokchun, let’s go up. Get ready for Deodeok.”

“The ark.”

“Hey hey.”

I called Deodeok who was absorbing the corpses of monsters lined up in the field.

Maybe it’s because he ate well these days, he gained a bit of weight.

The radiance is flowing.

It seems that the outline of the face has become clearer.

It’s strangely good looking, so it makes me feel a little bad.

“To that.”

“Hmm, let’s move.”

I cleared my throat at Deokchun’s criticism and stood up.

As the skill level was raised on the 47th floor, options were also created.

[Select]

[Seal the hidden cursed doll]

[Release the hidden cursed doll]

It was an option to seal or release a cursed doll hidden somewhere.

“What about this?”

The doll was destroyed by the chin that I used the skill.

[Broken Cursed Doll]

-A device containing a powerful curse

-…

– If you fix it well, it might work?

– This sturdy thing is broken.

I didn’t aim for it, but I ate this option too.

Whether it’s sealed or unlocked, what should I do if I’m fine?

It’s a bit embarrassing too.

Because it was hidden, I accidentally broke it.

Originally, it seemed to be strong enough to withstand a fair amount of shock, but thanks to Chihirin’s buff, her skill level went up a lot… I

can’t help it.

“Let’s break it.”

“To that.”

“Hey hey.”

Deokchun and Deodeok shake their heads.

what can i do You can’t live the way you want to live in the original world.

I held the broken cursed doll in my hand.

– Crisp!

grabbed it as is.

The doll whose durability had reached its limit was broken.

[Selection complete]

[Destroy the cursed doll completely]

[Sent to the 48th floor.]

-Ugh!

I was swallowed by a portal.

[Floor 48]

[Choose.(0/1)]

A familiar transfer time passes.

When I opened my eyes, a desolate landscape greeted me.

If I hadn’t moved to the portal, I would have mistaken it for the 47th floor that I had destroyed.

It seems that this condition is even worse.

“It looks like it was hit by a nuclear bomb.”

I’ve never actually been to a place where a nuclear bomb fell, but it might look like this when I go.

empty board.

The charred trees stood as charcoal without falling down, and the mountains were pushed aside like sand castles.

All of the places where the building was supposed to have been are a few stones.

overcast sky.

It looked like it would rain any minute, but all I could feel was the dry, burnt wind.

With every step you take, the ash piled up on the floor is stepped on, leaving footprints like snow.

what the hell happened here?

Not anywhere else, but the 48th floor…

“It’s where there’s a quest related to Odelto’s ring.”

Is it to clear my doubts?

Unlike other places, the options appeared right away.
