Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 741
Episode 741: Night
Invitation A strange entity that can obtain special by-products.
As expected, the quality is excellent.
“At this level, I don’t think we can make it above S rank.”
“Yes.”
There is more to know about equipment manufacturing than you might think.
It is basic to create an alloy by mixing various metals in proportion to achieve strength.
In addition, it is produced by combining various technologies.
There is one reason for making this effort.
To make better quality products.
In other words, if it is a by-product that can be made into a top-quality material through simple processing, it will be much easier to manufacture.
Another advantage is that consistent quality can be maintained without minor errors or mistakes.
together.
‘There are some with mixed properties.’
Depending on the type of monster, it may have properties such as lightning or darkness.
There are quite a few things that are confusing due to their rarity.
Even compared to the by-products obtained from killing the first monster, it is superior.
If you give it to Lilka, she will be happy.
‘There will be a chance to meet you.’
I don’t think I’ll clear the 99th floor without dying even once.
however.
“Why does it seem like it’s increasing?”
“Yeah. “Okay.”
There were two monsters at first, but soon there were more than eight.
After the first battle, the exploration team took the lead, claiming that there was a strange object they had seen elsewhere.
This is our fourth encounter.
Is it because the number has increased?
Even if it’s small, there are injuries.
This too will get better after a while.
“If it increases indefinitely, it will become a nuisance.”
It was unclear how many more monsters would appear in the future.
Besides, those guys.
Exploration Team 5’s reaction to not being on the 99th floor was also unusual.
“This is awesome! “Damn, I never thought I’d catch all eight!”
“ha ha ha. I knew it was a processing unit, but their skills are amazing. “I should have been chewed up!”
“I guess 8 isn’t enough! 10 of them! “20 of them!”
“There is still more left. That’s right. “When I got there, I saw there was more.”
Talking becomes increasingly strange.
Should I say it tasted a little spicy?
Eyeballs rolling around without focus, not even in context.
Every time I come back from hunting, my face turns red.
‘It’s definitely not normal.’
What can I say? Should I say that it is supported by evil?
It still is.
“now. It’s not over yet. “I’m sure you’ll be satisfied this time!”
“head! head! Arm and leg!”
“Exploration Team 5’s capabilities are amazing, aren’t they?”
“Of course, Paul!”
Of course, there is a guy who grabs me roughly and hits his head.
For reference, there is no NPC named Paul in the exploration party.
I checked the information again to see if I was confused.
[Big Morton]
-The king who does
N$$% -■■ on the 99th floor □%!
The information is unrecognizable, like a file that has been damaged by a virus.
It almost seems like a bug message.
It seems like the information window of Garti, who has mysterious powers as his power.
One thing is certain.
‘The information has been contaminated.’
It is no longer possible to obtain sound information.
The tower is where all sorts of strange things happen, but the 99th floor tends to be a bit more extreme.
“This way. This way.”
“We found them in the morning, so they probably couldn’t have gone far.”
The first time you met me was in the morning, but that’s bullshit.
“Tsk. “Guide me.”
He clicked his tongue slightly and nodded.
“Hehe. “They are not people who will be fried to death, they are monsters!”
“head! “I need to cut my hair!”
What is so good about it is that the exploration team laughs and curses.
I was lost in thought as I walked along with the guys pulling me.
If there is anything suspicious, you have to look closely.
That might be a hint to conquer this floor.
-Tuk-tuk.
I tapped my fingers and checked when there was a difference between when I first met them and now.
Obviously, the information was clear at first.
About 5 hours have passed since I followed them, and now that I check, the information has been contaminated.
When did the strange behavior appear?
‘It was two hours ago that I felt something definitely strange.’
Given the circumstances, I think their information may have changed around that time.
Seeing as the information window was not completely damaged yet, it must have collapsed gradually.
Wasn’t it written in the beginning?
The information is unreadable because it is contaminated with chaos.
It was reasonable to assume that the contaminated area increased over time.
I have suspicions when I see abnormal symptoms with him.
‘Could it be that behavior changed as information became contaminated?’
The information window tells you about the person.
Conversely, what if you change the information and change the person?
-Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
I got goosebumps for a moment.
It’s an assumption.
I was only thinking about the possibility, but what if it was real?
Go one step further.
‘It doesn’t apply to climbers too, does it?’
If so, the problem becomes bigger.
The climber’s strength is thanks to the power and stat title skills obtained through the system.
Is this part broken?
At that time, I can’t use my strength properly.
It’s not just about not being able to use one’s strength; it can also change the person itself.
Personality Taste Personality.
Either that, or the person himself becomes an idiot.
I hope it’s just a wild imagination.
Haven’t you already experienced it?
Powerful chaos.
‘The system also makes errors.’
I acted like that and experienced it too.
I wondered if the contamination might be contagious, but I wasn’t scared.
At least it won’t work for me.
I also have a huge amount of confusion.
‘I already have the concept. It doesn’t even affect me.’
Even the concept is being used.
One of the concepts is even half-hearted.
Ignoring other people’s rules and influence.
I don’t know what other people think.
“They’re all here. “It’s here!”
It looks like we arrived at our destination while concentrating on matters more serious than expected.
Now, as if they have no intention of hiding, the people confidently head towards the place where the strange body is and point to one side.
“oh. “What is this?”
Twenty strange creatures standing as if welcoming me.
Some objects are truly surprising.
[I was influenced by concept boasting.]
[I was influenced by concept finger pointing.]
It was a monster of tangled concepts.
“let’s go! Let’s go to hell!”
“It’s the processing team’s turn to move! good!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll look after you. LOL!”
Exploration team members yelling and driving me away.
Now even the way he speaks has completely changed.
Is information becoming corrupted faster as time passes?
Or else.
‘Am I being affected by that strange entity?’
It was an unknown task, but it was clear that it had to be done.
“Not all monsters are the same.”
Just a taste of the ones I’ve met so far.
The real danger was over there.
So kill it.
After that.
“You too soon.”
Exploration team members.
I’ll have to do some experiments with them.
-Quaang!
He drew his chaos sword and rushed forward.
* * *
A monster influenced by the concept.
The evaluation of them was simple.
“They’re annoying.”
“Yes.”
Not only does he have outstanding physical abilities, but he also uses strange abilities.
It was similar to a disaster, but it was not stable and there were no disaster-specific rules, so there was no such thing as a destruction law.
In the meantime, I use the power of concepts like fragments of chaos.
‘How many more of these guys are there?’
It was clear that if they moved around in a group, it would be a threat.
Besides that.
[The level of the strange entity is low.]
[The concept cannot be obtained.]
A notification that appears when killing an object that has a concept.
The level of strangeness is low and the concept cannot be obtained?
In other words, if you catch a strange entity above a certain level, you can obtain the concept.
This is like.
‘I feel like I’m being forced to get a concept.’
One of the essential conditions for becoming a fragment of chaos is two concepts.
I could feel the will to force the concept into those who wanted to reach the 100th floor.
I don’t know if all of this is the system’s intention or the influence of some other entity.
It was so explicit that it wasn’t even funny.
“That’s it.”
I wiped the blood off my body and looked back.
From the point where half of the monster was wiped out, the exploration team showed hostility towards me.
Because they fired arrows and skills in my direction to keep me in check.
Then it stands tall.
The point at which I caught all the strange objects.
[The low-level monster exploration team 5 was unable to overcome the allowed chaos and disappeared.]
It evaporated like a lie.
Since the system notarized it, it would be natural.
Were they also strange creatures?
I couldn’t confirm it when I first looked at it with authority.
“Hmm.”
I scratched my head.
If I had known it would disappear like this, I would have given it a try.
It’s unfortunate, but is there anything else?
From what Ophelia said, it seems like there are still more people like that, so it’s not too late to try.
Rather than that.
“Where are we going?”
You have to decide where to go next.
It’s been quite some time since I followed them.
Night is slowly coming.
There are no traces of people around, perhaps because we have come to a fairly remote place.
I tried going up to the sky to see just in case, but it was the same.
I checked the community to see what other kids were doing.
[Mean Meow Punch]: Help me! Hehe… Strange NPCs are begging me to build a house
[licking the top of my head]: Have I finally gotten into architecture? Octopus-footed conglomerate Nyangfun!
[Mean Meow Punch]: No… I hate architecture…
[Your hair is falling out]: There’s something called a strange body here. Everyone be careful
[lick the top of your head]: Where are you? Nyangfun seems to be far away and I met the Magma Fairy
[Hair loss from your head]: I was with an NPC who said he was from some kind of exploration team.
“The hair loss man came up?”
He died from the 98th floor and fell into a safe area, but luckily he made it to the top.
Nyangfun seems to be stuck between the NPCs.
Since we met the Licking Magma Fairy, there won’t be any major threat.
Than.
[Petit Gongdue]: Beware of fake exploration teams! If you follow them, you’ll meet something strange!
[Petit Gongdu]: Gongdu with a brilliant mind… I found out something amazing!
[Petit Gondue]: Are you aware that the information of the expedition team will be contaminated?
[Petit Gongdu]: When information is contaminated, people change, so check regularly to see if stats☆skills, etc. change (poof!)
I don’t know if the hair loss man met a healthy exploration party.
I guess it doesn’t matter since I said I’m from there.
Still, I solved the information I found out just in case.
I will pass on the information to others, so everyone will prepare in their own way.
I looked around other places besides the chat room with the members, but there wasn’t much to talk about.
Ophelia is also not responding as if she is doing something.
“It’s gotten a lot quieter.”
Are there too many climbers going out?
The community, which was always noisy, also cooled down.
Feeling a subtle sense of regret, I turned off the community.
The sun sets soon.
Maybe it’s because it’s in the middle of the wilderness with no lights or buildings.
The sunset seemed to be setting, and soon night came.
“Let’s rest too.”
“Okay. “In the chest.”
We fought several battles today.
You need to rest for the next task.
It was a time when I was preparing for camping.
– Sabak.
A woman holding a lantern appeared in the darkness.
A person is approaching me straight, with his face covered by a hood.
“You must have lost your way.”
The figure peeking out in the flickering light was quite a beauty, but I raised my guard.
“If it’s okay, please stay the night at my house. It’s dangerous at night.”
A woman who generously shows favor.
I know.
Until just a moment ago, there was no one around.
Far away.
“It’s close to my house.”
The fact that the cabin appeared like a mirage.
