Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 671
Episode 671:
All the disruptor forces have gathered.
As well as me and the big hook.
“I see you’re doing well? Okay. “Your face is sparkling!”
“Do you want to make it really sparkly?”
“I heard you’re too strict on me. “But that’s the charm!”
The rivals Chiriri Fairy and Choco Choco also gathered.
Normally, this many people would not have gathered.
“Evil Eye, how long do you plan on doing this?”
“On the outside, everyone seems happy, but a lot of dissatisfaction is building up.”
This time we had to get together.
Prices remain the same by using production plants in wealthy areas and underground shopping malls.
In addition, we raised our unit prices ourselves.
In short, it means that the amount of labor, wages, materials, equipment, etc. has increased.
Thanks to this, other workplaces that supply workers and materials were happy.
“From an entrepreneur’s perspective, this is a loss.”
In fact, entrepreneurs’ profits have decreased.
I am not simply saying that people who make a lot of money should receive less.
“There are a lot of taxes to pay, but the profits are low, so they think they are not treated well for the work they do.”
“It’s not just wrong. “Some people who don’t know me might say I’m just rolling a pen, but isn’t this the place where I make all decisions and take responsibility?”
It’s just as Drekfree and Paul said.
So far, we are controlling it with appropriate threats and rewards, but we never know when dissatisfaction will arise.
These are people who lived a decent life before we started working on them.
From their perspective, they feel like they are enriching others by distributing their wealth.
I don’t really deny it either.
To what extent is fair treatment?
This is very subjective.
What happens if I leave the table saying I can’t eat here?
‘There aren’t many replacements.’
Isn’t swearing worth the curse and the reward is not great?
How many people will do it?
Even now, we are accepting some losses for stability.
As time passes and the system is refined, an appropriate consensus may be found, but no one can know when that will happen.
Due to the nature of the tower, not everyone has a lot of patience as they don’t know when and how the game will change.
If that’s a good thing.
“It’s a shame that it reduces the burden even on the wealthy. “It would have been difficult otherwise.”
“It took some effort to convince him.”
“They were a bit stagnant, so they probably needed something new.”
Thanks to the activities of Chiri-ri Fairy and Nyang-fun, even wealthy villages have improved their economy.
It must have been a difficult decision.
“If you look at that side too, there is a completely empty hole.”
“The 95th floor is basically about basic products, but it’s a little different in the affluent areas.”
Perhaps because they are doing well, they have used their own high-end strategy.
The problem is that the quality of the tower as a whole is not extremely good.
Just showing off.
Or, they used high-quality materials that only work inside the 95th floor.
What can I say?
Should I say that they make it and use it among themselves?
It was more of a purpose to differentiate themselves from other 95th floor workers.
It doesn’t matter if you do it in moderation, but now it’s gotten worse.
In the end, they also had to enter basic industries.
The main trader is the system, and what the system wants is mass-produced products.
By cooperating with us, they are trying to gain a hand in the huge business facilities in the underground shopping mall.
‘Capital of wealthy villages and production capacity of underground shopping malls.’
These two were interlocked and were still rolling.
Well, problems big and small keep occurring.
“Don’t worry about management itself.”
Drexfree takes care of that well.
Because it is the largest organization in the city.
Whether it’s security or creating an atmosphere.
Having previously served as the head of the division, he was able to mediate various conflicts with great skill.
This is enough for regular reporting.
“Choco Choco Tralow.”
“The guy started moving.”
“The radius of action has changed. “It’s hard to track now.”
The two of them didn’t play while others were having a hard time.
There is only one mission entrusted to the two.
Monitoring Fahiru, who will be the key to clearing the 95th floor.
“The last time I saw you, you seemed really angry.”
“It looked like it was going to explode no matter what happened.”
The reason for changing the economic structure was simple.
Creating a different type of industrial structure from the existing one.
And thereby eliminating beggars.
‘Fahiru is strangely obsessed with beggars.’
So much so that it cannot be understood with common sense.
Why is that so?
At first, I overlooked it, thinking it could happen, but my doubts continued.
What did he say?
Those who can’t have anything can have few things.
I thought it was some kind of nonsense.
‘It was like a rule.’
When climbing the 90th floor, there are times when there are rules unique to that place.
The 91st floor chaos fragment has the same rules as the mafia game.
The vampires of Bant Castle on the 92nd floor had a clear boundary between day and night.
93rd floor Pantadamia? Needless to say, I brought the rules of the game.
The 94th floor is similar. If you think about it, it took the form of a war of occupation.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t penetrate the entire floor.
Because there were rules given to individuals.
Even when he was on the 91st floor, the killer couldn’t kill someone in daylight.
All NPCs in the inner walls of Bant Castle were decorative NPCs.
When I became the Demon King of the Demon Castle, I was restricted from invading without permission.
For dragons with great power, there was a penalty called Dragon Night.
If you look around, there are such elements on each floor.
The only difference is whether it is obvious or hidden.
“Change and chaos.”
Ultimately, it’s about seeing the truth and the rules and changing them.
That is the key to clearing the 90th floor.
Is it any different here?
Consider Fahiru.
Even if it is not at the level of fragments of chaos, it is possible to have your own rules.
The guy here even deals with the system, so there’s no way there are any restrictions.
I focused on that.
‘I was trying to see the reaction when the beggars disappeared.’
I was aiming for this.
The guy who was active as a true beggar suddenly withered away.
Not only did facial expressions change, but the frequency of begging and eating also decreased.
Like I lost all motivation.
Did being a beggar mean that much?
I don’t know that much, but one thing is certain.
He doesn’t like the current situation.
However, you can’t make a fuss.
Because his role was to deliver goods to the system.
It was clear that if the infrastructure was destroyed, there would be restrictions.
The guards won’t stay still either.
So what options are left for him?
“They might attack us.”
“It’s the same even if it’s not us. “You’ll be able to destroy a few factories in no time, right?”
What is it?
It’s terrorism.
Wouldn’t they try to create beggars again?
Even if that wasn’t the case, it was clear that they would have a grudge against us for making this happen.
I don’t know what that method will be like.
I think it would be most convenient for him to drag us to the Altar of Blood and then fight.
“You are taking care of the Altar of Blood properly, right?”
“The product no longer exists. There used to be a few guys who secretly got products, but they’re not there anymore.”
Dreckfree clenches his fist.
There was no need to ask what happened to those who secretly brought the goods.
Product eradication.
Because I did that first.
Therefore, no one goes to the altar of blood.
We don’t even have to go anymore.
“Until its location is identified, move in groups of at least two people.”
In particular, Dreck Free and Paul were always made to go with other guys.
At least in Dreck Free, there are a lot of bodyguards who are in debt, so it’s a little bit safe, but Paul doesn’t have much personal power.
Now is the time to monitor the situation.
At the same time, this may be the answer.
“It’s been two months since the Blood Altar stopped operating. Do you know what this means?”
“The system may have doubts about the qualifications of the person in charge.”
“The system is absolutely lenient. Especially if it’s something like this.”
It’s just like the fairy said.
Although mass-produced products continue to be traded, creating NPCs and recovering high-quality materials is only possible at the Blood Altar.
In other words, the role of the 95th floor itself is progressing smoothly.
“It means that the role given to Fahiru is not being performed properly.”
“If it were a system, it would be possible to change the administrator.”
“As time goes by, we are the ones who have the advantage!”
Waiting until Fahiru is stripped of his qualifications as ruler of the 95th floor.
To seal the Blood Altar so that it cannot function.
This is strategy plan A.
On the outside, not much has changed, but on the inside, a lot will change.
Results may not come quickly, but it is safe.
That’s an advantage.
but.
“Something feels uncomfortable.”
I felt an unknown sense of anxiety.
It didn’t take long for the cause of that anxiety to be revealed.
* * *
-Why!
A siren sound that is significantly different from the traditional bell sound that rings when a problem occurs.
The warning sound that penetrated my ears meant only one thing.
“It’s an attack!”
“Everyone, go to the shelter!”
“What did the security guard do! “I heard you cleaned it up last month too!”
“Shut up and run! “Run and make noise!”
Workers run out of the factory and follow the security guards to the shelter.
The store doors close and the shutters come down.
Those in the house locked the windows and went down to the basement.
The loss of business on this day and the emergency shutdown of the factory would have been enormous, but it was nothing compared to the cost of life.
“It’s coming from the other side too!”
“Aerial monster discovered!”
A guard that moves quickly.
The large hook and the underground shopping mall also did not stand still.
If we were going to end up at the guard line, we might have fallen behind, but if not, we had to fight to protect our property.
In times like this, they even collect space rent from the residents of the commercial complex for stepping out.
“I see a whole bunch of monsters here.”
“I thought it was safe because there were no castle walls or anything.”
“It’s not wrong. “If it’s on the outskirts, monsters rarely invade the city.”
Choco Choco answers the questions of me and Nyangfun.
I knew there were monsters near the city too.
They said that even in the clearing where they were when they left the Altar of Blood, if they went a little further away, they could see monsters.
In fact, I was thinking about using this to open a blacksmith shop.
If you bring in monsters, you will fight them, and battles require a lot of equipment.
Although it was a method that could be seen as a bit trashy.
‘Because I just thought about it.’
Since I didn’t do it, there’s no reason to be pricked by my conscience.
“Yes.”
“That’s right. “You just thought about it?”
On the other hand, he did something real.
A sudden monster attack.
It’s absolutely not normal.
That is, if this happens periodically.
Look carefully.
“That’s a monster that only appears after crossing the mountain range.”
“I guess it’s true that he dragged me here.”
The type of monster that has attacked the city is unusual.
There are those living nearby as well as those living far away.
These guys have no reason to come here.
This is an incomprehensible situation unless someone forced it into you.
“I never thought Pahiru would come out like this.”
“I don’t think they intend to attack directly. “It’s interfering with what we’re doing.”
That would be correct.
If damage accumulates in this way, the factory cannot operate normally.
but.
‘It must be a big burden for him too, right?’
They don’t even manage the Altar of Blood, but they even sabotage the factory?
Well, anyway, what is left for him?
He doesn’t have time to be like this.
[The system doubts the qualifications of a specific NPC.]
[Discusses punishment for NPCs who interfere with task performance.]
Although he did not specify who it was, he could tell.
I’m guessing they’re talking about that guy, Fahiru.
Let alone doing his own thing, he gets in the way?
You’re just falling into a hole yourself.
If it falls apart on its own, that’s fine with me.
“Block the front. “Restart work at the rear as soon as safety is secured.”
“Let’s talk to the guards and proceed with the subjugation.”
“Rather, if you come this way, you get by-products and it’s good.”
“That’s a high-quality species over there! “I think I can take care of it separately and hand it over to Helldying Kitchen.”
Now we have become accustomed to attacks.
The monsters on the 95th floor are not particularly strong.
Even if he’s strong, he’s not at the ancient level.
Normal grade monsters were not threatening even if they came in droves.
“He’s stupid too. It would have been better to launch a surprise attack instead of something like this.”
I also nodded at Tralow’s words.
It’s inefficient.
No, this is just a meaningless struggle.
It is true that there was some interference in one way or another.
‘Seeing as the system is blatantly sending out messages, I guess this is too soon.’
At most, after a month, the system will impose restrictions.
That’s it.
The 95th floor will also be completed.
Time to nod your head.
-Uuuuuuung.
My vision has changed.
A sudden burst of brilliance.
I reflexively drew my sword and prepared for a surprise attack, but what appeared before me was something else.
[Punishment of NPCs who interfere with work is discussed.]
[Subject: Petite Gondue]
“…Me?”
The gaze of a huge system.
That gaze was by no means favorable.
