Alone Max Level Newbie-Episode 152
152angry masquerade ball (2)
The first floor of the Tower of Trials can be said to be the most complex place in many ways..
At the same time as the entrance for players from all over the world, there was a field where they could hunt..
This is because they also had a 'neutral zone' where monsters could not approach, like where Jinhyuk and Ellis are now..
“It's here?”
Ellis looked around with a curious look on his face..
Only 50m high. To the side, the endless outer wall gave off an incredibly intimidating feeling..
“that's right. There's going to be a masquerade ball here..”
Jinhyuk nodded..
Maybe it's because I came back after a long time, but I have new feelings..
Growing up so quickly and climbing the tower that I didn't have time to catch my breath probably played a part..
[You have entered the neutral zone 'Nameless City'..]
As we went inside, a quite interesting scene unfolded..
Murmur.
The interior is crowded with numerous players from all over the world..
However, what was unique was that it was not the players, but the beings mixed in..
The sight of clothes floating around like a ghost caught my eye..
“Those guys. It's not a person?”
“They are the minions of middle managers. I mainly take care of miscellaneous tasks for the entire city..”
Most players don't even know there is such a thing as a middle manager, so they don't know these detailed settings..
All you can do is think of it as an NPC in the tower..
‘Of course, players who received the invitation will now notice its existence..’
Jinhyuk walked down the street with the corners of his mouth raised..
If you're going to attend a prom, you'll definitely need an appropriate outfit..
The place where my steps stopped was a clothing store in a corner of the alley..
Although it wasn't as noticeable compared to other places, this was a store run by a craftsman that only people in the know knew about..
Well, I didn't necessarily choose this place because of the clothes-making skills..
rattle!
When the door opened, a goblin with green skin and a small body appeared..
and.
I also saw the appearance of a very familiar man..
“What, did you receive an invitation too? Well, Sword Saint… … Is it natural since he is a swordsman?.”
Beautiful appearance like a sculpture and a unique sharp atmosphere that is difficult for anyone to approach..
It was a natural occurrence.
Cheon Yu-seong, who was standing on a circular stepping stone and entrusting himself to the goblin priest, opened his eyes wide..
“……you!”
Just recently, they threw a person in ice water during a hunting competition or something..
The person who cooked and ate the game was delicious and then disappeared..
Since the culprit with at least 50,000 ugly hairs is right in front of me, I can't help but feel jealous..
“Now, wait! I know you're upset. Before that, listen to me.”
“I've been offended by your grayish tongue more than once, do you think I'll fall for it again??”
Cheon Yu-seong stretched out his hand toward the sword placed on the table as if there was nothing more to hear..
The air suddenly froze.
If you do it wrong, you could get stabbed here..
“Hmm. It's difficult for both of you to fight here.…….”
The goblin tailor also played with the glasses he was wearing..
Anyway, did this so-called civilized person throw cultured food into Poppy’s bowl next door?.
It's amazing that a guy like this will become a doctor who deals with the lives of future patients..
Still, I have to stop it right now..
If there's really a fight, you'll end up in the prison in the tower, regardless of whether it's a dance or something..
“No, it's real this time. I was going to get you a kendo from the prom to give it to you anyway. Barter! okay. With that!”
Jinhyuk shouted urgently..
Then Cheon Yu-seong stopped..
“It's called barter.?”
“Yeah man. You know that my brother cares about you very much, right? I'll get you something decent, not something fancy like that..”
“I'm saying this because you don't know much about this sword. At least 10 floors below…….”
“The option to increase cutting power by 30% when you successfully attack 3 times is not a bad option. However, with that, you'll be struggling 'there' on the 8th floor right now.?”
“Well, how do you do that?…….”
Surprised, Cheon Yu-seong tried to say something but then lost his voice..
okay. This damned person would know what type of sword it is just by looking at its appearance..
‘Besides, was he even predicting where I would move next?.’
I'm not a person with any kind of foresight..
Cheon Yu-seong’s pride was crushed at the thought that all his thoughts and actions were being read..
But I can't help it.
In fact, it is currently not easy to break through the labyrinth on the 8th floor..
If I could get a better weapon…….
This time too, I have no choice but to let you be hooked by those words..
‘Phew. Let's calm down.’
And let's be careful.
Cheon Yu-seong caught his breath..
We must repeat the memories that have already been experienced countless times and completely compensate for the loopholes..
Because only then could I escape from that terrible demon..
“good night. really. Let me really try to believe it one last time.”
“don't worry. There are even 4 verses of the national anthem, so I'm sure I'll trick you again.?”
This time, I plan to find a really useful sword and hand it over..
It's human psychology that even if you can't do it 10 times, if you do it well once, it melts..
Bad men aren't popular for no reason..
furthermore.
‘If they had given this superficial reason, I wouldn't have suspected it..’
In fact, there was a hidden reason for offering the sword for free..
That is, only by passing through the cumbersome labyrinth on the 8th floor could Cheon Yu-seong concentrate on training on the 15th floor..
This is because you have to devote yourself to training and acquire skills that only training enthusiasts can obtain, in order to be able to copy those skills..
There is a 90-day copy grace period for the same target, but the cooldown will be sufficient by then..
‘I won't let it happen this time. I will definitely give you the sword..’
‘Hehehe. Hurry up and grow up. A skill shuttle that will decorate my status window..’
Everyone has different thoughts.
The cooled air was gently released..
＊＊＊
“By the way, did that person also receive an invitation??”
Cheon Yu-seong glanced at Ellis who was behind Jin-hyuk..
Ellis had been watching the battle of nerves between the two with interest for a while..
“Yes. Jim also…….”
“ah. He also came to participate in the prom..”
Jinhyuk quickly intervened..
If it had been just a little bit late, the lines that had a second-year middle school student would have flowed out without any filtering..
“……Right. I thought he was an unusual player from the 7th floor, but what country exactly did he belong to??”
Well, that question is pretty awkward..
Of course I can't tell the truth.
“Lou, Lou… … Mania?”
“It's Romania?”
“what!? Jim is not about Romania or anything, but about the great… … town!”
Once again, Jinhyuk covered Ellis' mouth..
“Roughly somewhere around there. Perhaps because he is a descendant of a fallen nobleman, he is extremely proud, and because he was greatly shocked, he says some nonsense, so please understand..”
“Well, I understand. I'm done, so I'll just go. I'll see you again at the prom.”
Cheon Yu-seong turned off his interest in Ellis without asking any more questions..
And paid the goblin tailor for the suit..
“2,500Coin confirmed. Then, I will send the completed suit to Cheon Yu-seong’s personal subspace inventory..”
The goblin bowed politely..
After a while, Cheon Yu-seong leaves the store..
“Can I make matching suits for you both to wear to the prom? In my personal opinion, it seems better to unify all clothes and shoes in black..”
The goblin tailor asked in this direction..
“suit… … ah. You have to wear a suit. I need to match two suits.…….”
well.
“I'm more interested in something else than that..”
“Hmm. Of course, in addition to suits, we also handle bags and accessories, but we are not a specialist in those areas..”
“Not like that. Like the scales of Mt. Mangapsan. Red Drake's claws or something. I wanted to buy some of the roots of the flowering plant or something like that..”
“haha. These are all types that cannot be found on the first floor. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do about it..”
The goblin tailor burst into laughter and shook his head left and right..
It was a bonus to make a bewildered expression, as if seeing someone looking for fish in the mountains..
but.
Jinhyuk still hasn't lost his smile..
as soon as…….
“Is that possible? A great middle manager just can't get that much stuff.?”
'Cause I had to blow this up.
It wasn't a long line, but the meaning it implied was by no means light..
The goblin's eyes slightly wavered..
It was only a moment, but Jinhyuk did not miss the subtle change..
“I think you've mistaken me with someone else, but I'm not a middle manager, I'm just the owner of this store..”
also.
It comes out like this..
If you're going to turn away like that, there's no way you can do it..
“three.”
Jinhyuk spread his fingers..
“There are exactly three things I found strange:.”
The goblin didn't answer..
I just kept my mouth shut and waited for Jinhyuk to speak..
good.
This passes step 1..
“First, this store. From the moment I entered, there was a sweet scent tickling my nose. It is the scent of ‘Snowflake Rape Flower’, which grows only on the 16th floor of the tower. It has an excellent effect on fatigue recovery and mental and physical stability... … hmm. You also mixed the scents of several different flowers.?”
Swamp wildflowers commonly found in rainforests’.
Even the ‘last dew’ that grows only on snowy mountains for 10,000 years.
There were quite a few different scents mixed together..
All in a combination that can bring out each other’s synergy..
“Isn't it strange? The owner of a small shop on the first floor of the tower. That there are flowers that can only be found on the middle floor or higher of the tower? And that's just to use it as an air freshener..”
“…….”
The goblin still didn't answer.
However, the expression is a little different from the first time..
The expression of interest showed anticipation for the next words..
“The second thing is that when Cheon Yu-seong unleashed his magic power, you were not at all intimidated..”
Goblin is considered the weakest member of the tower..
Such a weak monster dares to withstand the momentum emitted by players with an average level close to 50.?
It's a story that doesn't make sense..
The gap between the two was as wide as a tiger and a hamster..
In other words.
The story is that the goblin in front of you now is different from an ordinary entity with a small body and weak magical power..
“Lastly, you asked if you two would also wear suits..”
For the first time, the goblin questioned Jinhyeok’s words..
“If two people are coming, isn't it common sense to wear two matching suits? I don't understand how that's a clue..”
“no. It's strange. Because since the Masquerade event has occurred, the beings in this city will be able to check whether the player has an invitation or not..”
Who are the typical visitors?.
Who is the target of this event?.
means you know everything.
but.
“This friend does not have an invitation.”
Jinhyuk pointed over his shoulder at Ellis..
Jinjo, not a player.
That's why there was no invitation from the beginning..
Also, it means that someone who knows this well is confident that Ellis will also go to the ball.…….
“This means that you have already received information about me from Rick. Of course, if you know the owner of the caravan, you will also be leading a high-level group..”
He's probably one of Rick's executives..
‘I was a little surprised because it was my first time seeing him..’
Anyway, I've said enough about this..
If you have a conscience, you won't be able to get away from this..
And as if to prove that thought.
“Haha! This is true. It leaves me speechless. Rick said there was an interesting player recently, but I had no idea he was this interesting..”
The goblin burst into laughter and was happy..
however.
“But there is one thing Jinhyuk Kang is wrong about..”
The corners of the goblin's mouth turned up..
Meanwhile, Jinhyuk's eyes were shaken by the next words..
