Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 49 Let’s check our skills

– As

Kildereth snapped his fingers, a dark purple dome surrounded us.

[Space block (S) Lv.???]

– Creates a space disconnected from the outside.

‘oh. crazy.’

S-class skill?

Are you just writing it like this?

It’s a while to be surprised inside.

“Whoa. Calm down. What I am about to tell you is a secret. Since I am an NPC, I have a role assigned to me and I have limitations.”

“Ah yes yes.”

I nodded my head with a sense of goodwill.

What the hell are you trying so hard to say?

“As I said, I can’t give you something directly. I’m the manager of the arena, and the manager can only deliver rewards in prizes. Systematically impossible.”

okay. Let this be so.

NPCs seem to have their own circumstances.

What can I do if the system says no?

“First of all, I guarantee to upgrade the winning prize. I’ll give you the seed right there.”

-Faat

Kildereth clenched and opened his fist, and before he knew it, a lozenge-shaped medallion was in his hand.

Do all NPCs use these magical abilities?

I don’t know what it is, but I received it because it was given.

[10th Floor Arena Seed Ticket]

– You can advance to the finals without going through the preliminary rounds.

“I think I knew it beforehand, but for the arena event, the preliminaries and finals are held on the same day. Just not going through the qualifiers is a huge benefit.”

What he said was true.

Thinking about the finals, it was better to save stamina.

However, it is common to get eliminated in the preliminaries if you do not hesitate. I had to exercise my skills to some degree.

This is the primary benefit.

‘Besides, if I don’t go through the qualifiers, I might not give the other person information.’

During the battle, there is no choice but to expose the skills and techniques that one uses.

then it’s trouble

Oh Ji-hyeok, who fought on the 6th floor, is coming up.

Three days until the arena event.

Maybe I’ll be able to get to the 10th floor within that time.

Since he was an elite, it was obvious that he would participate in the arena.

‘Oh Ji-hyeok knows what skills I use.’

Oh Ji-hyeok itself is not a problem.

Even if he became stronger than before, he was confident enough to win.

One thing I care about.

‘Even if I wear a mask, you can find out my true identity.’

It’s enough to camouflage the appearance, but you can’t change the skill.

It was obvious what I would do if they discovered my true identity.

They will bring a large guild to catch me.

He rubbed his chin and fell into trouble.

‘I can’t use Fire Bomb?’

I’m thinking of writing it if I’m really in a hurry, but I think I’ll have to refrain from it.

I put the seed ticket in my treasure bag and looked at Kilderless.

‘Are there any more?’

I sent my eyes with my heart.

He averted his gaze for a moment, then shook his head.

“Okay. One more help. The number of people who make it to the finals is odd. One goes up with a bye. I will give you that seat.”

“It’s good.”

I smiled lightly. It’s a bye to pass the preliminary round.

This is great. Because it’s a much better condition than others.

‘If I still can’t win first place, I’ll have to die.’

really.

Not bad at the cost of an unexpected accident.

After all, it’s just that he’s lost some magic power, and he’s not seriously injured.

Since we don’t know how that NPC will turn out, let’s step back.

“I will gladly accept your favor.”

I nodded my head.

“I’m glad you liked it. Hmmm. So that’s it. I didn’t make any mistakes.”

“yes? What happened? I only applied for participation.”

“right? Ha ha ha ha ha! A friend who speaks well. I’m looking forward to the time of competition. I think it will be a fun event after a long time.”

Kildereth gave a thumbs up with a bright smile.

I also smiled and got up from my seat.

“Goodbye.”

“yes. thank you.”

[The space block (S) is lifted.]

I came out, being greeted by Kildereth.

I’ve done everything I could with this one right now.

“Three days.”

short time if short. I will have to prepare myself.

It’s true that I have better specs than others, but I shouldn’t relax.

Other contestants will also sharpen their knives to compete.

As there are so many different skills and powers, I don’t know what variables might arise.

“Shouldn’t I be stronger too?”

There is no end to upgrading specs.

It’s also fun at the same time.

I took off the mask and put it in the treasure bag. I think if I go around like this, attention will be drawn.

If everyone wears a helmet or a mask as long as the blade is standing, it causes people to be wary.

It’s important to hide your identity, but it’s not a good idea to overdo it and become embarrassing.

In the first place, I came here with my bare face from the dorm.

As long as the face was not sold, there was no particular problem.

“Let’s go, Deokchun. This time it is the market. I’ll buy you some snacks while you buy mine.”

“Gueheh? Gweek!”

Deokchun is also in good shape.

Plaza on the 10th floor. There are all sorts of grocery stores and stalls spread out by people climbing the tower.

Although the shop window is close to universal, the list itself is not very large.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s still bronze.

Since the list changes periodically, there is a way to wait for something good to come out, but with two days left before the event, there was no time to do that.

“I don’t expect much, but you never know.”

Since it is only on the 10th floor, there is a high possibility that there will be no great items.

no. Most likely just stuff like that.

Nevertheless, treasures were always hidden, and I had the ability to find them.

‘Eyes watching the S-class Power Star. Please this time too.’

There is a story that is commonly heard in the tower or outside.

I bought an old item, but it turned out to be a sealed weapon.

It was a treasure with special powers.

Getting a chance at an outdated and outdated armor store is a cliché among clichés.

Can’t you say me?

“there. Go see some stuff! Is the quality good?”

“Isn’t it hard to eat fruit in the tower? The taste is amazing. Try it.”

“Do you have someone to barter with? I need a shield.”

“Do you have any production-related skills? We are looking for someone who can repair equipment.”

As I walked along the street, I saw a square before I knew it.

People and NPCs are crowded and hectic.

I have no intention of going to the center. Most of them are restaurants or cafes.

“East to west.”

As far as I learned through the community, that is the market.

The south side is filled with accommodation and other facilities, and there is a portal to the 11th floor in the north.

I’m thinking of going all the way, starting from the east side.

The market was busy as there was no one to manage it.

At least, it wasn’t difficult to see things because people moved around to avoid the stalls.

“I got you bastard! Handler! is a pickpocket Cut off your hand right now!”

“My me when! let go!”

There were as many accidents as there were many people.

A situation where everyone is armed for hunting.

Of course, it was rare to have a pocket, and most of them were using bags or belt pouches.

It was common to wear pockets around the waist like I did.

In other words, it is no different from paradise for pickpockets.

“Stupid boy. Why are you stealing other people’s things?”

“I know. Besides, if you’re going to aim, aim for someone who’s a bit easy going, or at least choose the Phoenix Guild.”

As they said, there was a mark with a phoenix on the shoulder of the man who was suppressing the pickpocket.

The 5th largest guild rank is Phoenix. That I’m never someone to look down on.

It seemed that he committed it because he thought that the things he possessed would be valuable as he belonged to a large guild.

‘What’s the harm of one-tangism?’

I felt no sympathy. A situation where I already have a treasure bag.

Even if it is stolen by mistake, the damage is serious. It’s better not to have these guys.

-Mong-seong-mung-sung

The tower lacks things to play with. These incidents and accidents were of great interest, and people flocked to see them from all over.

Even if you stay still, you are drawn to the scene of the incident.

‘It’s good timing. I guess I’ll have to see what the handling officer here is like.’

If you are a loser, you will be in trouble.

Knowing your opponent’s strength in advance will help.

Of course, even if I grasp my skills, I have no intention of rushing right away.

‘I have to stay calm until I get everything I need on the 10th floor.’

after that? Of course I intend to deal with it.

The processing officer basically wears the title of murderer.

In other words, you can get skills by defeating them.

This was another reward I would get on the 10th floor.

He has already lost his grip with large guilds. They’re also targeting me, so there’s no reason for me to stay still either.

I heard that Lee Jun-seok clearly manages the 10th floor by the Eclipse and Daseong guilds.

This means that there are at least two handlers.

I’d love to see both of them show up.

“Everyone get out of the way. Witnesses forward.”

Unfortunately, only one showed up.

Well, it’s strange that the managers are rushing in for pickpocketing.

“Stop moving there. If you escape, you will be punished immediately. Onlookers backed away. You guys reserve your space.”

“Yes, I understand.”

At the order of the processing officer, the guild members of the same group pushed people away and made a seat.

A trembling pickpocket and a member of the Phoenix Guild holding him.

In fact, the situation is over, but why are you doing this?

I inspected the disposal tube indistinctly.

[Lee Jin-moo-murderer]

-The processing officer on the 10th floor.

– Belongs to a polyglot guild.

– It’s a species.

-Power: Executioner (B)

“Oh?”

admired a little It’s a B-class power.

Did Oh Ji-hyeok have C-level powers?

That level is pretty good.

‘What is an executioner?’

I got a rough feeling, but I couldn’t figure out what the exact ability was.

-Giying

put a little more magic into his eyes.

Let your eyes tickle for a while.

[Executioner (B)]

– The more spectators, the better the reaction, the higher the stats during battle.

– Some of the increased stats are permanently applied. (0.001%)

Detailed information came to mind.

It’s about grade B, I guess. It’s a separate condition, but it’s a great ability.

It was because it permanently raised his abilities.

The efficiency is not good, but I don’t know that either.

If it piles up and piles up, will it become a level that can’t be ignored?

‘I think I know why they’re making a fuss when they should just catch them.’

The safe zone is the only place in the tower where people gather like this.

In addition, the location of the processing center.

Even for the sake of authority, it was good to have a public punishment.

Well, according to the system description, it could be something like that.

“You are a member of the Phoenix Guild. apologize It made me feel uncomfortable.”

Manager Lee Jin-moo talked to the person who was pickpocketed.

“Okay. I’m not so lame as to be robbed by this kid.”

The Phoenix Guild member lightly shook the bag he had recovered before he knew it and put it in his bosom.

It’s a bonus to push the pickpocket who was holding the back of the back.

“I’m going to go see the work.”

“It is. Don’t worry, I’ll do the right thing.”

“That’s because he’s famous. take care of it.”

The Phoenix Guild members waved their hands and left leisurely.

Daseong’s guild members cleared the way for him to pass, leaving only Lee Jin-moo and the pickpocket on the round stage.

An oddly flowing tension.

“Pick up your weapon. If you defeat me at the discretion of the manager on the 10th floor, the crime will be tolerated and I will not interfere at all from now on.”

Lee Jin-moo took out the ax hanging from his back and opened his mouth.

arrogant remarks.

For Hunter, it was a remark that could cause repulsion.

“Sorry. I won’t do that again!”

It didn’t look like a pickpocket.

The one who always bows his head and apologizes.

Tsk. tongue-in-cheek

Apologies should be made to the kid who was stolen, so why are we doing it to him?

“What are you doing. Just slice it up!”

“Ah, so many words. Stealing from the tower where each piece of equipment is missing? That’s indirect murder, you bastard!”

“That’s a strange guy. He fights against the person who stole it, but the manager comes out, so he behaves lowly.”

“You dirty child. Kaak Tue!”

Those who were watching, wondering if they had the same thoughts as me, also spit out swear words.

Lee Jin-moo, standing still and enjoying their reaction.

[Lee Jin-moo’s stats increase slightly.]

It was also a show for the power.

As he raises his hand, those who were swearing shut up.

Standing proudly in front of the pickpocket, Lee Jin-moo pointed at his hand with an axe.

“But if you lose to me, your wrists will be cut off.”

The pickpocket’s eyes are busy at his declaration.

You’ll find a place to escape.

Naturally, there was no retreat as long as people camped out.

In the end, the pickpocket must have accepted the situation and gritted his teeth.

“Damn it! Okay, let’s stick together!”

He drew his sword and charged at the officer.
