Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Set Items

[The shop window is unlocked.]

[Currently, Jo Hyun-soo’s rank is Bronze.]

-Silver rank can be upgraded with 10000 points.

[Gather points to upgrade your level!]

[Tip. Beware of scams when trading privately.]

[Tip. In the auction house, you can get items that cannot be obtained from the store.]

It is a shop window.

A place to go in and out in the future.

A valuable service that sells basic equipment and potion artifacts.

I heard that sometimes high-grade items come out. If the opportunity arises, I will buy it right away.

Sometimes there are some points.

So let’s build some specs.

“You have to wear gear so you don’t look like a newbie.”

Since the Sangun Guild is chasing me, I have to hide my identity as much as possible.

I mean, to work freely.

Now that they are targeting those who have just finished the tutorial, it will be more effective.

“Let’s see.”

I checked the shop window. A scrambled list.

What should I take care of? weapon? armor? Or an artifact that replenishes other stats?

It’s not bad to buy a skill book if you have money, but my total wealth is 3280 points.

Let’s check the price first.

“It’s more expensive than you think.”

I looked it up just in case, and the default is 2000 points.

It’s only an E-level skill book. Hmm.

Even if the grade is low, the grade goes up as you accumulate proficiency.

If it is judged useful, the price seems to rise even if the grade is low.

The skill box, which is rated one level lower than the skill book, also has a base value of 1500 points.

The lower level is about 1700 points.

Good news. Because I have a lower skill box that I haven’t used yet.

First of all, I have to set up the equipment and sell it if it is not enough.

“Let’s choose armor first.”

Weapons come later. Because survivability is the most important thing.

If necessary, you can use the window you have now.

As long as it was an item used by fish-man warriors, it can be acknowledged that it is strong.

Or should I sell this too? It stands out too much.

I was exposed to other people when I got out of the plaza earlier.

Keep for now.

“I don’t know what to choose.”

I carefully checked the list.

There are too many types. From cloth armor to chain mail, plate battle suits and even leather armor.

If you go further and look at parts and shields, there are more.

As it is a bronze grade shop window, there is nothing better or anything like that.

All of them were D-F class equipment.

[Tip. In the Bronze grade shop window, C-grade items sometimes appear. How about resetting it occasionally?]

“It’s a C grade.”

It’s definitely good.

[Reset – 22:15 until the remaining time]

[You can reset it with 1000 points.]

I don’t want to search for it by blowing away 1000 points.

There is no guarantee that you will win unconditionally, and even if you do, you will not get enough points.

Should I just buy something?

There is also a way to use it roughly, raise the shop grade, and then properly equip it.

Although this is possible with points in the end.

Capitalism looks the same whether outside or in the tower.

Choose appropriately from the list. I’m not in a position to live by looking at this and that.

“First of all, I need to take care of my mobility, so let’s choose the lighter one.”

-I

was trying to press down on the chain armor, which looked okay, but something shone in the shop window.

A familiar light now.

The S-class power star-watching eye was activated.

[Feline’s Yellow Body (E)]

-Can I buy

it? I checked the item.

yellow armor. It seems to be quite light as it is lightweight. It also looks comfortable to move around.

however.

[Felline’s Yellow Body (E)]

-Defense +3

-HP +1

“The option itself is trash, right?”

Even though it is rated E, it is classified as an item.

Unlike general equipment, it is said that it has several effects.

Even if other E-class equipment can’t do it, defense is +5 and other stats are about +3.

In fact, if you look only at the specs, it was closer to the F-class than the E-class.

“What to buy?”

i decided to buy

I decided to believe this time as well as I had benefited from the authority.

There must be something hidden.

At most, an E-class item. How expensive is it to see how expensive it is?

Looking at other E-class items, I could buy most of them within 1000 points.

–

I pressed the buy button without much doubt.

[Purchase complete!]

[2000 points will be deducted.]

“Huh?”

The points flew away at once.

My brain stopped for a moment and I stupidly blinked my eyes.

So now 2000 points have been withdrawn…..

“Where is this! It’s not a scam!”

Nothing else, E-class equipment?

Power yes man! I believed in you!

nonsense.

How are you?

“That’s right!”

Deokchun frowns and avoids the seat, probably not liking me running around.

A look of annoyance.

There are various expressions of emotions on the subject of frogs.

Then what are you going to do? uh? I can’t see anything right now

“Kahiah ─.”

Did you read my inner thoughts? Deokchun started collecting saliva.

“Ah Okay. You can just stay still.”

“Geg. That’s right.”

I sat quietly on the bed.

Only then did Deokchun nod as if he was satisfied.

I had forgotten for a while that Deokchun was higher in rank than me.

my pitiful life How did you come to notice the frog?

“Whoa.”

Feeling skeptical about life for a moment, I sighed.

Let’s calm down. After the points have already been spent.

[Tip. Products purchased from the shop window cannot be resold for a week.]

Looking at the tip message, it seems that refunds will be difficult.

For me, who had to climb the tower right away, the period of a week was by no means short.

I looked at the list of shop windows that said SOLD OUT.

“Somehow, unlike other items, it only says that it is purchasable.”

Why didn’t I think it was weird in the first place?

Do you think even the shop window is going to fuck me?

no. Blame myself for falling into such a lame trap.

Because the tower is a place where you can’t survive with poor observation skills.

Let’s say I’ve experienced it beforehand.

Let’s start by checking the balance.

“1280 points left.”

little. After getting the shop window, I got some idea about points.

Being able to figure out the level of points I have.

You cannot buy other items with this.

At least one E-class item?

If it’s F-class, I’ll be able to do something, but it’s better not to live in that situation.

Because F-class equipment itself has poor performance.

It’s an ordinary item, but it’s more like a junk that is treated as an item because an option is attached.

“I can’t help it.”

The only option is to sell the lower skill boxes.

I took the skill box out of my backpack and brought it to the shop window.

[Would you like to sell a lower skill box?]

[1700 points. (YES/NO)]

“Sell.”

I tried to write if possible.

Still, thanks to that, I was able to raise it to 2980 points.

There was also a way to sell the Arcane Gems in the inventory if I was going to be sure, but I thought I’d leave that as an emergency fund.

You don’t know when and how you’ll need points, but you don’t have to use them all already. If I changed it to a point for no reason, it would only make me want more.

“Anyway, this is enough bullets.”

set an hour

Silence for one second.

Suddenly, curiosity about the equipment I had just bought piqued.

“What on earth is this so expensive?”

Was it simply a trap product aimed at Hogu?

If so, why did the authority react?

In the meantime, the Authority had only delivered positive information to me.

“Hmm.”

I looked down at the armor worn on my body before I knew it.

It doesn’t look special except for the yellow color.

As he slowly moved his mana and focused on his eyes, the power began to manifest.

explanatory note popping up.

[Fellain’s Yellow Body (E)]

– One of the equipment used by the challenger Fellain who climbed to the 99th floor of the tower a long time ago.

-It is sealed.

– How about looking for other equipment? Maybe you can get your original power back?

-Set (1/7)

I couldn’t help but be astonished.

“What! The 99th floor?”

I don’t know the name Fellain.

I had never heard of such a name among hunters active overseas as well as in Korea.

Besides, aren’t you talking about Authority? that it is very old

It has only been ten years since the tower was created on Earth.

It’s been quite a while, but it’s not enough to say that it’s been a very long time.

What’s even more surprising is that this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this phrase.

“Inventory.”

I took out the Intermediate Arcane Gem.

something that shines brightly.

The only A-grade item I have.

[Intermediate Arcane gem (A)]

-The work of John Trailer, a wise man who climbed to the 92nd floor in the past.

– Left alone, he tried to attack the tower by creating an artificial life form, the Homunculus.

-Climbing failed, but his achievements remain.

A person named John Trailer is also described as having climbed to the 92nd floor in the past.

sure with this

“The tower has been there before.”

I don’t know if it was on Earth or somewhere we don’t know about.

One thing is important.

‘There are things left by those who climbed the tower in the past.’

It wasn’t a great discovery.

In fact, aren’t the items we use also like that?

Items that cannot be replicated with modern technology are widely available.

Now, as it continues to evolve, even artisans make items.

I compared those common items with the two items I got.

There is a difference.

‘It’s related to the person who climbed the tower in the past.’

Is this a big difference?

First of all, Arcane Gems definitely have a difference.

Because it’s an A grade in the intermediate level. The Philosopher’s Stone is also included, and the effectiveness is good.

The breastplate I’m wearing is also unusual.

“It is sealed. Set items there.”

It was sealed and the specs were that way. Originally, it must have been a great piece of equipment.

Since it was said to have been used by someone who climbed to the 99th floor, there is no need to doubt its performance.

“In other words, items related to those who climbed the tower in the past are better.”

If I’m right.

“I’ll have to look for those things in the future.”

He raised his eyebrows.

It’s something only someone with S-class powers can do.

Because the information is not visible to others.

At best, you’ll only see the item name and the options that are revealed.

Maybe you can get something good for a cheap price.

“That’s about it later.”

Now you have to decide.

I’m not sure if I’m going to use this thing I just bought.

I was told that even set items were difficult to obtain, so the effect when gathered was not comparable to other items.

What if I could collect all the set items?

“It’s great, but.”

In general, the more set effects, the better.

3 sets rather than 2 sets. It’s true that 4 sets are better than 3 sets.

The fall line set consists of seven pieces of equipment.

Of course, collecting them won’t be easy.

Because someone else might have it.

In that case, it will be difficult to secure the item.

“No.”

Come to think of it, is that not going to happen?

Who buys stuff like that?

It only shows up as sealed to me, but to others it’s just a crap item.

Even the price wasn’t written correctly.

I bought it because my power was exercised, but if I was sober, I wouldn’t even take it.

“Okay. Decided.”

Collect the fall line set.

Until then, you can use other equipment.

“Let’s go shopping for what we’ve already done!”

I opened my eyes and started searching the shop windows.

To find an unlikely set item.
