I'm a max level newbie - episode 239
239fury. The great explorer 'Pesis''
Numerous residents of the Tower of Trials.
Among them, some of them especially remained in Jinhyeok's memory..
Representative examples include Ellis of the Ataraxia family, Rick Hennessy, a middle manager, and Dark Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Church..
And the man I see now was no less than them..
great explorer pesis.
'Aside from me and the gods, he is the one who knows the most about the Tower of Trials..'
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
It looked like it was examining the trees, but in fact, that wasn't the main purpose of the Pesis..
I'm waiting.
Players who exert great influence on the tower.
a little more precisely…….
'To talk to me.'
Jinhyeok pretended not to notice and pretended not to notice and approached Pesis..
"Are you researching Isrian saplings??"
"oh! Do you know about Isrian saplings??"
"This tree is the raw material for the juice that treats ‘sarcoma cancer’, one of the incurable diseases. It's not yet completed, though.."
"Hey. ha ha ha. It's amazing to see other people in such a remote place, but the knowledge you have is even more amazing. yes. That's why I was taking a look at this sapling.."
No matter what, you say so..
"That's strange. If it's for treatment purposes, you probably know that a cure can't be made from a sapling this size.?"
At Jinhyeok’s words, Pesis’ mouth opened wide..
You can't help but be embarrassed.
Because I had an accurate insight into the value of the saplings I had chosen to attract attention..
In addition, his real name came out, so it was as if Pesis had sewn the first button completely wrong..
"ha ha ha. You turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought. Indeed, it was worth the wait. Player Jinhyuk Kang."
Have you realized that there is no need for clumsy acting??
Pesis burst out in a good-natured laugh..
'yes, nice to meet you too.'
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and activated ‘Eyes of Gluttony’..
ring!
A status window with the other person's details appeared along with a cheerful voice..

[Copy conditions: Pesis, who receives the attention of numerous gods, is an explorer of the tower and at the same time a messenger who spreads news from the tower. To copy Pesis' ability, you must clear both conditions.
1. In a moment, please do me a favor from Pesis..
2. In order to recruit Pesis as a teammate, you need to show how good you are to your current colleagues. Continue to emphasize teamwork and boost morale. When a certain level of satisfaction is met, you will be able to catch both birds: copying abilities and recruiting colleagues..
'I think I'm pretty good at it... … As expected, the system is profound. I guess the standards are different from humans..'
Jinhyuk slightly tilted his head and turned his gaze back to the status window..
The first thing that caught my eye was the unique ability..
Fessis' unique ability, 'Stair Floating', has the deceptive characteristic of being able to freely move between each floor, as long as it is below the 41st floor..
This means that you do not have to deal with boss monsters or meet certain conditions to advance to the next floor..
However, this ability cannot be seen as just a good thing; it also has a fatal flaw in that those who possess this ability must give up all skills related to combat ability..
'Regardless of the battle, you should just enjoy purely exploring the tower..'
There's no need to be disappointed though..
Although unique abilities cannot be copied, there were some useful skills among them..
'Let's see…….'
Jinhyuk quenched his appetite..
Skill ‘Synergy’'.
2It is a passive skill that increases abilities by 10% when using more than one skill at the same time..
'It's a must-have ability for multi-skill users like me. You definitely have to get your hands on this.'
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating fast at the thought of firing off my already improved skills..
Above all, the most thrilling thing was copying the abilities that other people had worked so hard to accumulate..
good.
I had a rough script written in my head about what to do..
"So, for what reason are you waiting for us??"
"haha… … . It's not that there were bad intentions. Actually, I had work to do by meeting several top players and residents. Jinhyuk is the fifth guest we met this week.."
An explorer whose main goal is to wander the tower... … meet people.
This is quite surprising.
Perhaps the request made by the system is also related to this..
"What kind of invited guest is this??"
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth..
OK.
"Top ranking."
Pesis said something unexpected..
"……It's the top ranking.?"
"yes. As Jinhyeok knows, there is no standard to compare the rankings between the numerous residents of the Tower of Trials and the players who have now joined outside the tower. At least officially."
In the past, the Tower of Trials only vaguely weighed the top rankers, but did not know the exact rankings..
However, now that it has become a reality, a new standard is about to be created..
Right away, by the system.
'It's fun. Has this also changed?.'
I graduated from ranking games a long time ago, but this is pretty interesting..
It is not simply a rank converted into numbers, but the value of influence that the rank represents..
That will act as a huge factor in climbing the tower in the future..
'Since the system and gods are related, the higher your ranking, the more benefits you will receive..'
Raising the popularity of the base currently occupied and strengthening defense facilities, etc..
When negotiating with residents, comments are given weight, etc..
"Well, I guess what they've been waiting for for us is to find out the rankings.."
"haha. That part was big. In fact, aren't the members of 'Goinmul Corporation' led by Jinhyuk very competitive? I thought we had to meet to fill in the blank part of the rankings.."
"We are an elite few, but... … So what do I need to do to participate in that ranking??"
"oh! Are you saying you will cooperate with the investigation??"
"Of course I have to do it.."
To achieve the first copy condition, you have to do a favor anyway..
Of course, there's no need to diminish Pesis' likeability by telling that fact..
'You too are destined to be forced to join our company..'
And at that very moment.
[Members of the small and medium-sized power 'Goinmul Corporation' were included in the ranking measurement..]
[Those included in the rankings are Kang Jin-hyuk, Ellis von Ataraxia, 5th floor boss monster Andria, Cheon Yu-seong, ??? (sweet potato), and Teresa de Laurencia..]
A blue status window appears.
Aside from Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, Wolyoung, T-Bone, and the top 5 spirit beasts also failed to make it into the rankings..
The names of Melena and the dwarven blacksmith Orun, who are both high-ranking officials in the Mine Association, were not visible..
How high is the standard??
Jinhyeok looked dumbfounded, but Pesis was so excited that he continued to let out exclamations..
"Wow, that's amazing. I never thought so many people would be included in the rankings! I've met a lot of people recently, but this is the first time I've come across a faction with members like this.."
"Is it a lot??"
"Of course, there are a lot of them! The ranks that can be included in the ranking are up to 1,000th. There are also huge powers at the top. Although they are included in the rankings, there are also beings that I have not encountered under my authority. Just being in this is amazing. In particular, there are not many players who are ranked in the rankings.."
Pesis, who was talking urgently, added one word..
"Of course, the ranking does not directly mean combat power because various other factors such as achievements and influence come into play, but except for a few special cases, it can be viewed as being generally directly proportional.."
then…….
It must mean that ‘those guys’ on the top 50th floor are also ranked..
Seeing that Pesys doesn't know everything completely, it would be correct to say that the system manages everything..
It was then.
"Why is it taking so long? It was as if it was someone I knew.?"
"mosquito!"
Ellis and Goguma, who were waiting behind, approached..
Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa, who were furthest behind, looked at Jin-hyuk and Pesis alternately with curious eyes..
"Oh sorry. This is a long story because there is something quite interesting. While you're here, take a look too. They said this is the latest system being introduced.."
Jinhyuk gestured toward the air..
"huh? What is it??"
"mosquito?"
"ranking… … I said?"
"Wow. How amazing."
Everyone's eyes turned upward..
＊＊＊
[??? Goguma (28th), Ellis von Ataraxia (29th), Jinhyuk Kang (117th), Teresa de Laurencia (231st), Yuseong Cheon (688th), Andrea (815th))]
[There may be parts that the system cannot understand due to various variables..]
[reliability 97.85%]
"Now, wait a minute! Are you kidding me??"
Ellis immediately raised his hand high..
"What's strange? It seems just right to me.."
"It's appropriate! What on earth is appropriate! Why am I ranked lower than that stupid reptile??"
As if she couldn't understand anything, Ellis started running wild..
"mosquito!"
On the other hand, the high-ranked sweet potato waved its tail gently in Jinhyuk's arms with a proud expression..
"That’s right, a sweet potato is strong when it appears as its true self. You know the thing about ancient species.?"
"Well, then I?"
"You were like that in your prime. I guess that means it's not that bad now.."
What's the point of telling a story about how popular it was when Tiger smoked cigarettes??
Not now.
"But... … . Still, I’m quite useful too. If you do it right, you can do better than that sea anemone guy.."
"I know. Why are you so intimidated? Not like you."
Jinhyuk lightly placed his hand on Ellis' head..
For a moment, I had the illusion that Ellis had calmed down..
"I'm secretly ranked high.."
"Ms. Teresa… … When it ‘falls’, isn’t the rate of increase rated quite high??"
"ah… … Because of that friend... … I see.."
Teresa lowered her head as if embarrassed..
It seemed like it was still not easy for him to accept the black version, which had a completely different personality from his own..
I understand.
To be honest, that version was a bit burdensome even for me..
The person involved must feel like they are facing dark history at every moment..
Finally, Cheon Yu-seong also showed his molars and growled lowly..
"There's no way the gap between me and you is this wide.."
"Just a little while ago, you were fussing about how you don't know how to beat me, and have you already forgotten that??"
"I never said that.."
and… … Is this guy walking around with an eraser in his head??
I'm seriously curious how you got through medical school with that brain..
No matter how you look at it, holding a knife to the CSAT proctor's neck seems more realistic.…….
"done. Let me not say anything. I'm a fool for trying to get you to bow down."
"joy."
Cheon Yu-seong turned away coldly..
"As expected, the atmosphere between Jinhyuk and his colleagues is good.."
"this looks good?"
"Bickering is only possible between people you can truly trust.."
Pesis, who was smiling, stretched out..
"Well then, let’s hurry up. You don't want to arrive too late and lose your spot as the main character in Goinmul Corporation to them.."
"Being taken away... … Who else is coming besides us??"
"Didn't you know? Aside from Jinhyeok, other forces have also been invited to the banquet currently being held at the imperial palace.."
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed at Pesis’ words..
"If it's another force... … no way?"
"yes. The last demon, Valmariel. Those who eliminated him are now heading to the imperial palace. Probably Jinhyuk has heard of it too. The name ‘Gandhara’."
