Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 342

There is a quest from John Trailer, the 52nd floor of

Geneta .

[John Trailer’s Request- Unexpected Quest]

-Sage John Trailer has a burden on his mind.

– How about helping him?

-Jewel of the beginning (1/1)

-Homunculus Geneta activated (0/1)

-Reward: Philosopher’s Stone (SSS)

A quest where you can get a Philosopher’s Stone.

Actually, I don’t know much about the Philosopher’s Stone. That it’s an SSS-level item and one of the key ingredients for making arcane gems that are far more powerful than mana stones?

It is said that it is used for other purposes besides Arcane Gems, but I cannot guarantee it because I do not have knowledge about alchemy.

Could it be because he stood tall?

“hey! Aren’t you going?”

The licker holding Rilka shouted.

A head that follows my gaze.

“oh! Jiji, Jiji!”

Rilka jumped out of my arms and ran to me.

It’s hard to say support.

The homunculus I need to find is Geneta.

I think it was said that it was in a state of inoperability because there was no energy source, but the reality was a bit different.

It’s the same as having no power, but it wasn’t completely inoperable. I saw him looking straight at me and opening his mouth.

“customer?”

She had the appearance of a boy, but like all homunculi, she was beautiful.

Because of its small size, it seems to have somehow endured in a power saving state. Looking at the condition, I don’t know how long it will last.

Are you still unable to move and just talk?

“Go human.”

alley corner. He was shabby, so he was sitting on the floor with his feet up on a stall that could be compared to garbage.

One tin can on one side. There were things posted that I didn’t know if they were for sale.

[Rotten meat]

-Ugh! smell!

– It’s broken.

[A minicar without one wheel]

-It rolls.

– No!

[An almost luxurious ring]

– Someone took the central jewel.

Do you have a conscience? Isn’t that just trash?

Meanwhile, the price is high. They ask for 5000 points for that one. Even robbery won’t do this.

A phrase written in small letters next to it.

– You will also receive Mana Stones and Magic Stones.

It seems to be to gain energy. Have you endured like this for so long?

I picked up the minicar with my fingertips. Do the wheels turn? The color is also peeling off and mottled.

Even the cheap items sold at stationery stores when I was young were not like this.

“You got it. have to buy Anyway, I have to buy it.”

“You have no conscience?”

The guy who casts a strong sale right away.

The reason why I was born is because I learned only the bad things like a kid.

“He has no morals!”

Timing Rilka, blinking in amazement, steps out.

ah. he was a merchant Sensitive to such fraudulent transactions…

“I’d rather buy mine!”

“Hey, son.”

-Fuck!

“it hurts!”

I just fed them honey chestnuts. do business here It should be done when the level is the same. It’s not even a store that’s run down. Do you keep the street vendors in check?

“Lilka, long time no see.”

“Ugh. I told you not to be here I’m not listening.”

After all, he’s an insider in the NPC world. It’s like the two of you know each other.

“Thanks for the magic crystal you gave me before.”

Rilka, who glanced at me and the members, pretended not to know. shameful look.

what. Did he help me even though I was trying to bully him?

“Why do you do good?”

“Oh no! There was something I liked!”

When I stroke his hair, he runs to the licker and hugs him again.

He seems like an insincere guy. Anyway, that’s not the point…

“Nice to meet you. Call me Evil Eye.”

“I am Geneta. Lack of energy due to constant talking. Buy that too.”

Point at the spoiled meat with a glance.

He smiled and took out the things he had been holding.

“I’ll give you something better than that.”

[Superlative Arcane Gem (S)]

-The core that moves the Homunculus.

– Boasts a powerful output.

For a moment, Geneta’s eyes widen.

I gave it to him without wasting time.

“Nothing else, I was asked by the wise man.”

“John Trailer?”

“uh. He was very sorry that he couldn’t take you.”

“okay.”

The guy with a faint smile accepts the Arcane Gem.

I was worried that I would have to install it separately, but it didn’t seem necessary.

– Because

the Arcane Gem spontaneously melted into his body.

-Geeeeeeing!

Waves of powerful energy.

For an instant, a blue light radiated from Geneta’s body.

[Acquisition of power resources]

[End of power saving]

[Operation is normal!]

The guy who was lying dead stretched out.

-Gigigigigg!

I heard a clicking sound in my joints as if I had been in the same position for a long time, but I didn’t care.

Rather, it just looks cool.

“Ugh! lived!”

A notification window that rings with him.

[Clear John Trailer’s request!]

[Reward will be given.]

Catch the object that fell from the sky.

Is this the philosopher’s stone?

Size to fit in one hand. It is a round stone that emits a strange bluish light.

It’s slightly transparent, like a jewel.

I’m looking at it with a curious mind.

“The Tongue Sage’s Stone!”

Rilka with her mouth wide open runs and jumps.

Uh huh where dare

I immediately raised my hand and dodged it.

“Give me!”

“No way, man. Where bare-mouthed.”

“Ooooh!”

Rilka raised her tail, but she wasn’t threatening at all.

I need to slowly think about how to use the Philosopher’s Stone.

Right now, I don’t even know what it’s for, and I’m not sure if it’s something I can use differently.

If you don’t know, I think it’s okay to sell it to Rilka.

then.

“let’s go.”

“huh?”

Without regret, I turned my back and walked out of the alley. I need to find accommodation.

I came here for a while because of a quest. If you’ve seen everything, you should go.

“Aren’t you taking me?”

“why me?”

Geneta, who naturally joined us, looked at me blankly and shouted confidently.

“If you saved it, you have to take responsibility.”

“…do you want to spit it out again?”

“Ugh! A naughty climber torments the homunculus!”

He immediately fell to the ground and began to struggle.

no this guy

I can feel the eyes of the NPCs on the street as I am afraid to panic.

“Isn’t that Geneta?”

“Hey, you bad guys. What are you doing to a child who is dying anyway!”

“Say it, say it. Eh.”

“hey. come to work Somewhere left a child behind and drove them away.”

There are not many climbers on the 70th floor. In fact, it’s safe to say that it’s made up of NPCs.

He felt the need to explain the situation to those who approached him with a stern expression, and grabbed Rilka by the back and lifted him up.

“Torturing. We got along so well. right?”

“Well then. Ahanghang.”

If it’s the words of the insider Rilka, public confidence will be built up.

“uh? i saw it earlier Did you hit Rilka on the head?”

“What is it? Where is the place to hit that little kid!”

“Kaak Tue! It was evil. I will give you a hard time.”

It’s counterproductive.

No wonder where they came from, the streets are full of NPCs.

He is carrying a club as if he intends to use real force.

“Gongblei. Is this right?”

“Wow, I think there will be 20 people?”

Nyangpun and Bosongsongi asked.

That’s right. It looks really good.

haha. Like this vicious little boy.

-Kuuuwook

“What? Ouch!”

I grabbed Geneta’s head.

“Let’s see you. run!”

First of all, it is an escape.

Rilka in the left hand. He grabbed the Zenetta in his right hand and ran.

“Huh huh?”

“I don’t know. Run at once!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s a bummer today!”

The guys who were confronting the NPCs also ran after me.

I think I picked up a troublesome guy.

* * *

An inn located outside the safe zone.

I ended up here while running away from angry NPCs.

It’s fortunate that the NPCs have restrictions on their area of activity, otherwise they would have continued to pursue them.

In any case, the inn was rented. Since it is not very large, the entire building was chartered.

Neither I nor Nyampun are lacking in points.

The members already have a soft song and even Rilka, but even Geneta joined.

7 people including me. Have you ever traveled around with this amount of people? It’s quite busy and not bad.

Sigh. I leaned back in my chair and turned my head to the corner of the dining room.

“It’s the first time I’ve done a good job like this.”

The members are washing and resting in their room.

I was sitting in a restaurant thinking about what to do with Geneta.

Genetta is scolding me with both hands raised for making me uncomfortable.

“Why am I?”

“Uh huh. If you said it straight, the NPCs would have been able to pass by as well.”

Unexpectedly, Rilka, who was punishing her, pursed her lips.

done. do it like this

“Come here, both of you.”

“Ugh. Arm Afang.”

“Dirty human bastards.”

When the two are called, he approaches while grumbling.

The quest was completed, but it was ambiguous to leave Geneta alone.

It could be a humanitarian dimension or a service to the wise, but…

‘If I don’t do something, this guy will keep sticking to me.’

It was obvious that the NPCs would come out unfriendly every time.

From the 70th floor, it is the upper floor. Not only is it unknown what dangers may lurk, but according to the information gathered so far, climbing is carried out in a different format than before.

Isn’t it different from having the conditions to go up to the next safe zone right away?

I want to do a bit of comparison here if possible. I have to stop by the store and work with Rilka for a while.

There are lots of things to ask.

“what’s the problem. Why are you doing this to me?”

“It is difficult to eat and live. As the system operates normally, more demands are made on the system. I can’t stand being a pariah.”

ah. That’s a very real problem.

In the meantime, I was able to endure moderately because it was in a power saving state, but now it is not.

An important issue for NPCs. What role do you have to play in order to live while maintaining your ego?

Whether it’s selling things like Rilka, giving quests, or rolling in the field.

Currently, there is nothing Zenetta can do. I don’t have anything.

It was possible to give the quest itself, but there was nothing to give as a reward.

In this case, you have to do production activities or do business.

‘It’s not easy either. There aren’t many climbers on the 70th floor.’

What could be the reason why the NPCs couldn’t help her, even though they felt sorry for her?

They also can’t afford it. He must be barely making ends meet.

Things will get better later when a lot of climbers, including those from the coalition, come in, but not right now.

“You know this side of Rilka well. no way? Like using it as an assistant.”

“Ugh. I wander here and there, so even if I have an assistant, I can’t get it.”

That’s right. If you only work as a blacksmith, you don’t know, but since you’re also a private trader, it’s practically the same as putting a hump on.

He is a guy who spends a lot of money to buy production materials, so I wonder if he can afford it.

Whatever it is, you have to live on your own.

I’m not a social worker, but did I sit down with an NPC life plan?

“What are you good at, Geneta? You would have done anything to climb the tower with the wise man.”

“I’m not in charge of combat, so I don’t know anything else, and I know how to do these things.”

Geneta, scratching her head, spreads her hands.

I didn’t have high expectations for being embarrassed.

-Paaaaaaa!

An unusual brilliance arose.

If he wasn’t in charge of combat, what role would he have played?

Light slowly fading.

He exhaled a long breath as if he had lost his strength. I checked the object in his hand.

“This crazy…”

I could understand why Geneta was left with the energy discharged.
