Alone Full Level Newbie-Episode 160
160fury. faction selection (4)
[‘You have accepted the conversation request from ‘Moorim’ side..]
Jinhyuk nodded as if he had been waiting..
OK.
A solemn looking old man with white hair appeared..
‘It's been a while since I saw the Murim people..’
Jinhyuk looked at the other person as if he was interested..
The other person also looked at him with a face full of all kinds of emotions..
However, he soon calmed his expression and got to the point..
“My name is Mo Yong-su, a long-time writer of the Mo Yong family..”
Hey Moyongse.
It's good there.
Still, it’s one of the five major Sega.?
“On behalf of Moorim, I will give you one chance. If you join us, especially forget all the stupid things you've ever done.…….”
[You stopped talking.]
It seems like this friend still doesn't know who is A and who is E..
Should I say that I still feel like my lungs are full of wind??
[‘Moorim' side will try to request conversation again..]
[I refuse.]
[‘‘Moorim’ side……]
[Block it.]
It was resolved neatly..
good.
Now what's next…….
Jinhyuk accepted a conversation request from ‘Empire’.
“haha. nice to see you. My name is Fenheimer of the ‘Kingdom of Caladium’ belonging to the Empire..”
Age that looks boring.
However, the magic power flowing from the voice did not belong to the criminal..
indeed…….
Are you saying that you are one of the 100 Sword Masters that the Empire is proud of?.
I've hung out with this old man in the past, but it felt strange to talk to him in real life like this..
“So far, I've seen the impressive performance of Jinhyeok Kang. It may seem boring because many people have already said it, but I really can't help but admire it..”
Fenheimer's bright smile resonated pleasantly..
Still, this old man knows how to make a contract..
How to make someone like you.
How can the other person comfortably focus on the conversation?.
Of course, the words that came out of Jinhyuk's mouth became softer than before..
“This is Jinhyuk Kang. I have heard many times from administrators about the reputation of the empire..”
“ha ha ha! It was nothing…….”
Fenheimer's complexion brightened noticeably..
When the other person shows interest, you can't help but get excited..
“By any chance, player Jinhyeok Kang, do you have a faction in mind??”
This is the force I have in mind.…….
Of course there is.
However, I have no intention of playing down this hand carelessly..
“That's something I'm going to think about slowly from now on. I have to choose the one that helps me..”
“No, of course. but…….”
“ah! In that spirit, can I ask you a favor??”
“yes? Please do me a favor?”
“I thought the 25th floor was pretty decent, but other people didn't seem to think so. So, I would like you to negotiate a fallback plan..”
“If it's negotiation, are you really saying that I should ask the manager directly??”
“That's right.”
“……!”
At Jinhyuk’s words, Penheimer’s eyes turned round..
This is because I had no idea that they would make such a bold request when the contract had not yet been signed..
It's a given..
This is a huge force controlling the middle layer of the tower..
Well said, he's a promising player. The reality for players was that they were nothing more than useful chess pieces compared to themselves..
But what on earth is that slyness??
Isn't it the same as trying to shake up all the initiative and the situation??
‘Is this reckless? Or am I confident??’
I don't know the answer.
At least at this moment.
Fenheimer bit his lower lip..
“What kind of negotiation do you want??”
“hmm… … A ‘right to guarantee survival’ would be fine..”
The right to guarantee survival is the right to finish the game without dying even if you are caught in a trap, and can only be used with the approval of at least a mid-level manager..
It may sound good, but nothing is free in this world..
Because this authority exerts enormous influence on the system, not only is a huge amount of coins consumed, but various other penalties are imposed..
Simply put, it means that it is a power that cannot be easily used even by a large power..
Fenheimer swallowed dry saliva..
I could clearly see him trying to figure out how to get away from this proposal..
“Middle class… … As for the manager, I understand that you are also close with Jinhyuk..”
“Yes.”
“If that's the case, can't you just ask me directly??”
“That's true, but then I'd owe Mr. Rick a debt..”
Why throw away a usable hand when there is someone in front of you who can do it for you??
I plan to ask Rick when it is more earnest and important than this..
“……Indeed, you are saying that you will never suffer any loss..”
“I learned that if you want to survive in the tower, you must not lose even a single bean..”
“Puhahaha! Such a selfish heart. If you want to go up, of course you have to do that. Don't say cancer.”
Penheimer burst into laughter.
I actually seemed to like Jinhyuk’s honest, unpretentious appearance..
“Can I take this to mean that you will grant my request??”
“yes. It would be safe to say that it was a success. Of course, we hope that Jinhyuk Kang and we will not forget the kindness we have shown him..”
“sure. Of course I have to remember that..”
I am confident that I can remember well..
However, the problem is just remembering well..
Anyway, this is the end of the defense for the rest of the players..
At least valuable prospects will avoid being killed in droves at the end of the raid..
No, that's all.?
If it were revealed who set up this defense plan, there was a certain place where the cheers and applause of everyone in the world would go..
Give me a bottle and give me medicine.
I heard this is working quite well?
＊＊＊
[All players will be transported to the ballroom when they die due to traps and monsters in the labyrinth. However, if you are even grazed by an attack, all public points accumulated so far will be lost..]
[However, deaths resulting from battles between players or other battles will not be recovered..]
[This permission has been activated by player Jinhyuk Kang.]
A status message appears in front of all players..
“This…….”
An earthquake occurred in Mary's pupil..
I realized what it means to go to the ballroom when you die..
The rest of the players also realized the meaning of the status message a little later..
“Oh, no way. Did you choose this place after arranging all this??”
“We didn't even know that, but we were busy swearing..”
“When he disappeared a little while ago, he wasn't running away; he was going to do something for everyone. That's right. I also only resented strict people..”
“It's really different. What about us?…….”
The atmosphere became solemn..
At the same time, it made me reflect on the ranker who quietly does his job even when everyone criticizes him. What weight must one bear to climb the tower for humanity?.
of course.
Not everyone was like that..
“That's not it! Don't you know? Everyone is playing to that guy's tricks.?”
Liaoyu had a blood clot in his neck..
You may have fooled others, but not yourself.
This must all have been designed by Jinhyuk to wash his image..
However, despite Liaoyu's earnest cries, the reaction of those around him was extremely cold..
“Mr. Liaoyu. What do you mean by that now??”
Maria raised her eyes..
“Look at it calmly. That phrase! Doesn't it say that if your public value is even grazed by an attack, it will be completely lost??”
Originally, it was a public value that would disappear only after death..
However, due to Jinhyeok's intervention, even if you are injured, all the merits you have accumulated so far will disappear..
This means that it has become much more difficult to gather public knowledge and connect with advantageous forces..
“Mr. Liaoyu. We are now able to preserve our ‘lives’. They say public values are important, but are they as important as our lives??”
“Maria is right. She saved a drowning person and didn't even ask him to hand over his bundle..”
“Don't you need to know how to be grateful?.”
“China... … I guess you don't know how to be grateful..”
A cold response followed..
In the end, Liaoyu curled up his tail..
‘Damn it.’
Why on earth? How can someone so selfish and pretentious get all the praise??
If you hadn't chosen the 25th floor in the first place, your life wouldn't have been in danger..
This means that everyone would have been able to compete on much better conditions.!
However, since he was in a state of being buried if he opened his mouth one more time, Liaoyu had no choice but to vent his anger inside..
right then.
[Things went wrong. Eliminate Kang Jin-hyuk.]
A familiar voice penetrated Liaoyu's ears..
He was a murderer of the martial arts faction..
“I am… … Are you saying I have to deal with it??”
Liaoyu asked back with an uncertain face..
Liaoyu knew better than anyone else that a 1:1 match with Jinhyeok would be difficult..
[do not worry. Because your role is not combat.]
A one-time protection that can be received from the power.
‘epiphany)’.
The moment Liaoyu meets Jinhyeok.
[I will stop this guy from breathing..]
Mo Yong-su, who was in the ballroom, will appear in the labyrinth to personally eliminate Jin-hyuk..
＊＊＊
About 3 hours had passed since I entered the labyrinth..
More than half of the players were eliminated.
Even though they were rankers who could fly and crawl, it was not enough to avoid all the traps on the 25th floor..
In the end, as time went by, the number of dropouts increased exponentially..
of course. Meanwhile, Jinhyeok was traversing the labyrinth at ultra-high speed..
Was this crazy speed run possible because he had memorized all the patterns??
That wasn't wrong, but it was thanks to a more efficient method..
“If even an arrow were to hit my body, it would be under the sweet potato tonight. Everyone gathers on the moss on the wall.”
Jinhyuk threatened..
“Hehehe!”
“Okay, so stop threatening me. We're doing our best too!”
“Soo, I feel like I'm out of breath.”
“I want to live. I want to die. Do I really want to live? I'd rather kill you!”
“Everyone is so loud. But it seems like I'm having a hard time too.”
Naturally, the spirit beasts unleashed their elemental magic with all their might..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Kwaaang!
Colorful sparks erupted as walls of ice and fire collided with various traps..
‘left here.’
Jinhyuk turned the corner and accelerated even more..
‘The body strengthened by the 'Sword Demon Emperor Treasure' passed through the ground like the wind..
fault! fault!
Vision changes rapidly.
All minor attacks were blocked by the spirit beasts, so the magic power was preserved..
And there is only one reason to save stamina and magic power..
‘Probably moving towards Moorim and Junghwa..’
Yes.
This is exactly why.
Since Mo Yongsu and Liaoyu were partly provoked, the situation will be very high..
‘It won't work at Liaoyu's level, so if you want to kill me, you'll have to use [Security] and Mo Yongsu will appear directly..’
I had already planned out in my head how the opponent would move..
All that remains is how perfectly the script can be written so that the characters faithfully fulfill their roles..
It's not far now.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
puff!
Kakakang!
The spirit beasts that had been firing their skills for nearly three hours to protect Jinhyeok were already on the verge of exhaustion. But, it doesn't really matter anymore.
Because I could see the end of the passage from far away..
It was then.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Suddenly a bright light erupted from beneath my feet..
At the same time, dozens of thorny vines rushed towards Jinhyeok’s body..
It was a double trap triggered using time difference..
However, just before the vines completely engulf Jinhyeok's body,.
[Sword's Tomb is activated!]
‘Black energy soared from ‘Fang’..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Green fluid gushed out from the vines that had been cut into dozens of pieces..
Whether it's a double trap or a surprise attack that catches you off guard, it doesn't work..
The various traps had long since escaped Jinhyeok's attention..
How many minutes did it run like that??
Jinhyuk finally left the passage and stopped in his seat..
A 100m wide cave, one of the few in the labyrinth..
If they were setting up an ambush, this was the most likely location..
however.
Players from the Chinese guild or martial arts figures, who were supposed to be there, were nowhere to be seen..
instead.
“giggle!”
“lol. It's finally here.”
There, the people he wanted to face the most were waiting for Jinhyeok..
