Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 204
Chapter 204 Two days
have passed since the deal with the scavenger Nyangfun ended.
As expected, day and night existed here, and the daily temperature difference itself was passable, but the sensation of floating in the dark evoked primal fear.
Besides, a storm that came without warning.
Water drips from above and there is only water below.
I couldn’t see, but the waves soared up to tens of meters, and water came in through my nose and mouth every time it overturned.
Even up to this point, it’s a situation where swearing comes out by itself.
“Cheer up!”
-Quad deuk!
“Are these monsters sleepless? How come you show up just to rest? Do you have CCTV installed somewhere?”
“That’s it.”
These marine monsters are equally diverse, not only diurnal but also nocturnal.
If that’s the case with the King Creviatan you just caught.
He looks like a giant crayfish, but how well he swims.
They run away when attacked, and attack again when they want to be quiet.
It was after dawn when I got angry and chased it to the end and caught it.
Watching the sun rise over the horizon was spectacular.
“I want to escape. My body smells fishy.”
Now, the greatness of nature and all that mattered less.
should be done in moderation
Even if it’s just two days, it’s such a hardship, but how hard is it to endure a month?
At least now, he had time to rest after catching King Creviatan, the head of a district.
Another guy who smelled it would come in less than an hour.
You should rest a little more while complaining.
After making a small ice sheet with Frozen Break, I climbed up and lay down.
Still, thanks to catching the monster, the levels of Frozen Break and Electric Shock rose a lot.
Due to the nature of the environment, I was also electrocuted, so my resistance to shock also grew.
[Frozen Break (AAA) Lv.1]
[Electric Shock (AA) Lv.9]
[Lightning Resistance (B) Lv.8]
Excellent.
All of this is possible because I drank the elixir and my magic power increased.
There’s no way Danny’s skill level won’t go up after using his skills all day long.
It’s good, but a bit tired.
-A
moment of yawning. An alert rang.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: Well received, Mr. Gauguin! I sent the settlement money.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: Don’t eat halfway through and tell Evileye well.
[Petit Gongdu]: Of course. I will deliver it to you without missing anything.
in my pocket
Deal with Nyanpun.
They decided to supply potions and equipment.
Points are 50% of the transaction price. Contracted to receive the rest as a skill book.
Besides, there is one special condition.
“We decided to make a deal first if we were to obtain a Fellain Set from the Flower and Bird Bureau.”
There are still two more fell line sets left.
Since you don’t know where you are, it’s important to keep your eyes and ears open as much as possible.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: Are you saying you don’t want to sell that one-time invincibility artifact yet?
[Petit Gongdu]: I’m trying to seduce you, so please wait.
[Nyan Cat Punch]: Aww… Thank you!
Surrogate victims did not trade. If you need it later, sell it then.
Then let’s see how much it came in.
I also disposed of about 400 potions, so it must have come in a good amount.
“Oh my.”
“That’s it.”
I looked at the items that Nyangfen gave me as a personal transaction, and I admired them a little.
There are quite a few skill books. About 30 or so.
The grades also vary. If possible, I asked for things that are not sold in the shop window, but I never thought they would.
I thought it would be moderately common because there was no stock.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: Ah, Gongdyu Gongdyu. Ask if you can make more water of life.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: There are quite a few people looking for it.
“It’s because of the water of life.”
I guess roughly.
The water of life is an item that is not sold in the shop window. There is bound to be less supply than demand.
It is only natural that the creator must have divine power.
The Flower and Bird Bureau must have picked out the skill book to let me know that they care about me.
“It will be a good relationship.”
At least business-wise, it’s a great group.
The skill book will be used as a material for skill synthesis.
I have no intention of writing right now. I’m in a hurry to go up to the 52nd floor.
Come to think of it.
“I didn’t wear it in a friendly match.”
I tried to check the newly acquired skill through skill synthesis, but the match ended in a bland way, so I couldn’t use it.
It doesn’t matter much. After all, there is always something to write about.
A new skill I created.
[Clinging (C) Lv.4]
– You can stick to a target.
– It’s not a dream to walk on walls when your rating goes up!
The rating itself isn’t great, but the efficiency is good.
Right now, it’s all about sticking well somewhere, but what if the level goes up later?
“At that time, as explained, we will fight regardless of terrain.”
While climbing the tower, he experienced various environments, and there were many times when he was uncomfortable due to physical limitations.
When simply climbing a cliff or catching them on top of a tree. Like when you catch a grotesque bird, when you get on top of a flying monster, and so on.
If I had this skill, I would have made the climb more comfortable.
I synthesized the skill book sold in the shop window and raised the level to 4.
He shook his hands and threw himself into the water.
“I am going this time.”
“That’s it.”
Deokchun climbed on top of his head.
They are saving their stamina by swimming alternately.
Even though it’s a spiritual creature, you can’t drag me around all day.
At least in the marine field, Deokchun is more likely to be active than me.
* * *
I wonder if I moved half a day more like that.
Little by little the landscape of the field changed.
It was the same as the sea.
“Did everyone find it difficult?”
Traces of those who fell to the 51st floor were found everywhere.
Equipment and items floating around after losing their owners are proof of that.
There seemed to be nothing useful.
You can also see buoys made of planks and miscellaneous rubbish.
Some made a makeshift raft by tying several leather canteens sold in stores.
“Rurrrr.”
Someone over there is sinking under the water as if his stamina was exhausted.
It was too far away, so I couldn’t save it.
Please, a good place…..
Wait a minute, if you die anyway, you’re in the safe zone or outside.
Let’s know how to live well.
In the middle, I collected trash and made something to float.
It’s not that hard once you put your body on it and hit the foot. From a distance, it looks like a pile of garbage, and it has a subtle camouflage effect.
The pace was a bit slow though. It’s not a bad exchange because you can save stamina.
-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Maybe it’s because I worked hard all day.
The pillar of light that seemed far away came closer.
The further you go, the more wreckage there is.
It seems that other people have also flocked there.
After all, it would be better for your mental health to aim and move somewhere than to stay still in a place with nothing.
If you have the ability, you can aim for the peak like me.
If people get together, they can cooperate with each other, so the probability of survival will increase.
Of course, people come together.
“Aaaaaagh!”
“go away! You children!”
Although it meant that there would be more accidents.
“What else is that?”
Not too far away, a group of climbers who were moving by building a pretty decent boat were attacked.
The attack was carried out by five people who entered the submersible.
Approached secretly and entered the ship in an instant.
Assassinate the hunter who was on the boat as it is, and collect the loot.
In less than 10 minutes, the boat was seized and disappeared.
“It’s not something these guys have done once or twice.”
“That’s it.”
A scavenger or plunderer that was only heard in words.
If you die in the tower, you respawn in the safe zone.
In some cases, it moves entirely, but in other cases it drops items.
If you die while missing the equipment, the items will remain.
It is better to simply stay nearby and capture it, but there are those who attack or induce death by inducing plunder.
Why are those who are hard to see on the 30th floor installed on the 50th floor?
“I’m from another country, that’s it.”
People on the 30th floor are from the same country.
A story that could come for revenge. It is also managed by large guilds.
But what if you are a foreigner? Can I come back because I was beaten on the 50th floor?
You don’t even know my name? If you wear a mask, you can’t even see your face.
Even if you die in the tower, you don’t actually die.
In fact, there is no evidence, so stop pretending that you didn’t do it.
Is that all? Class A Hunter from the 50th floor. It is a top hunter that protects the core power of each guild and at the same time in the country.
Even if perfect evidence is found for the culprit, it is common for the state to step in and solve it.
“Even if they come, there’s a high chance that the victim will be weaker.”
It’s me, I have infinite coins, so it doesn’t matter, but other people don’t.
While the victim died unjustly and left the tower, there is a high probability that the looter would have climbed higher than that.
Fortunately, this one is better.
There are rumors that African or South American servers are no joke.
“It would be nice if I could calmly and proudly climb the tower. Tsk.”
Even if you say this, it doesn’t mean you don’t know what they think.
Surprisingly, many Hunters who have reached the 50th floor have a low desire to climb.
It’s because there is a mindset that you won’t be able to climb to the 60th floor anyway.
I must have obtained the A-class hunter qualification. They must be going out after a while, selling items and making a living.
Without knowing that the world has entered a transition period of destruction.
no no no no
I don’t know when I’ll clear the 100th floor, but if the outside reality explodes before then, I’m in trouble.
For the sake of my comfortable future, I have to deal with those who reduce climbers.
“Please save me.”
As I continued my thoughts and moved forward, I heard a voice.
About 40 meters away.
A man is repeating going in and out of the water as if he had exhausted his stamina.
The surroundings are full of wreckage of what must have been a raft.
Did this person also suffer?
It could be something like that or not.
“Catch this.”
“thank you!”
– Kwaaak!
He could be someone who pretends to be a drifter and preys on prey.
This guy was the latter.
The moment he held out the buoy, he pulled me and threw his sword at me.
A clean and quick blow.
Even though it was a single stab, it was a season with three skills inside.
-Quad deuk
“What is this!”
“Eh. Let’s do something good. Why are you clumsily like this?”
I was able to easily grab his sword.
Even if it looked like this, he was the one who avoided the NPC’s attack.
This is ridiculous.
His sword shone black and blue, but it was impossible to pierce my defense.
“How did you know?”
“How do you know? One was robbed 10 minutes ago over there, but if there was a guy like you, he would have robbed you as well.”
You know that a looter is a looter for nothing.
Even kids who are fine are attacked and eaten off, but you leave a child who has fallen into water like this?
There wasn’t even a fight. I’ve been here and haven’t heard any noise.
I think he and the guys who attacked the ferry 10 minutes ago are on the same team.
“Eight!”
The guy who gave up his sword, as if my prediction was correct, tried to blow the whistle that hung around his neck.
– Quickly!
“Cheuk!”
“That’s right.”
Sooner than that, Deokchun hit him on the head.
What hit did you hear the head breaking?
Looking slightly embarrassed, I saw Deokchun, wearing an outer glove in one hand, making a V.
I also gave a thumbs up.
what to do with this guy
It seems like it could be put in the water like this.
“It’s just a little bit like going.”
Judging by the appearance, there is a high possibility that there will be these guys at every corner on the way to the peak.
It’s crazy.
All I could see was a pillar of light.
Isn’t it a perfect place for people who have been floating aimlessly like moths attracted by light to gather?
There will be people who would rather go down to the peak than hold out for a month.
There is no better prey than those who have lost their stamina from coming from afar.
Therefore…
“I’m going to have to shake off some of the things they plundered and get a boat.”
I saw earlier that he also took a boat.
Wouldn’t there be a bigger ship in the base?
I thought so.
– Beep!
I blew the whistle he was wearing.
I’ll let him call me anyway.
5 minutes passed while I was a little sad.
“Oh come.”
I could spot three ships coming towards me.
