Stuck in The Tower

Episode 685 Lee Jun-seok

: Did you hear wrong?

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

So.

“You are trash.”

Techid kindly told me again.

I was deeply concerned about whether I should blow off my chin even now.

What are you doing in a good mood?

Members make quick eye contact.

It felt like I was going to break the guy’s head at any moment.

-Frown. Grinning.

Techid sent a silent signal.

A sign that you have your own thoughts.

First, we captured the members.

There doesn’t seem to be any malicious intent.

‘Based on his authority, it appears that he is favorable to me.’

It means there is a plan.

Techid turned his gaze back to the crowd and continued.

“And I’m even more trash.”

A self-mocking voice continues.

“Who owns the safe zone?”

No one answered.

Everyone will have their own thoughts.

Everyone gathered here will have their own opinions.

“does not exist. “No one can say he is the owner.”

It’s a fundamental story.

Who is the owner?

Who will decide that?

If I were to be specific, it could be defined by the system that is the designer of the tower.

‘The system doesn’t care about that.’

Even though we care about fairness, there is no such thing as complete equality.

Only intention remains within the loose boundaries.

This is what was given there.

“The safety zone is created so that climbers can rest.”

and.

“It is NPC’s job to build infrastructure within it.”

In short, the safe zone has no owner.

We all live in our own areas.

The climber will eventually leave the safe zone and the NPC will continue to stay until a new climber appears.

The balance was maintained to some extent up to the 80th or even 90th floor.

It deteriorated in this way because there were so few climbers going up to the 96th floor.

“What about now? “The climber did not receive a green card, and some people are angry about that.”

I flinch.

Fabio trembled.

“It is a lawless area outside, and this is also the result of our neglect. Whose fault is it? “Who is the one who faced the problem and turned away from it?”

There will be excuses.

Climbers were rarely seen here, and there would have been little shortage of permanent residency.

The inertial problem had become entrenched, and ignoring it was the easiest avoidance.

“If the world has changed, we must also change. It is time to acknowledge change. I will take the lead. “I will prove that even a coward like me can step forward.”

I asked whose fault it was, but no one was pointed out.

There’s no end to whether you’re right or wrong.

That’s probably why I said it was even more trash than trash.

Those who are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves.

A declaration that by humbling oneself, one will turn the blame on oneself and shoulder the greatest burden.

It’s truly touching.

‘That’s not it, you old man.’

I covered my face with both hands.

That is also touching to those who know the situation on the 96th floor.

Most of the climbers gathered here have no idea what happened on the 96th floor.

I don’t know why Techid says something like that.

Rather, most people squint their eyes when they hear that something is trash.

I should have given a more detailed explanation before I brought him in.

I didn’t know you could give a speech like this.

Techid’s smile deepens, as if he knows how I feel.

“Being with each other as equals without hesitation. “That is the only way we can coexist.”

The NPCs and a few climbers were in a warm mood, but not the rest.

How do I fix this?

The worries didn’t last long.

Because the licker moved before I could even step forward.

“You mean to live without hesitation?”

Lickjjakki asks again.

“okay. “Without hesitation.”

“aha. “If you say so.”

-Bah!

In response to his response, Lick Jjak kicked Techid’s shin.

Great clothes!

The guy falls down and screams strangely.

Without missing that moment, the members step on Techid.

Don’t really step on it until you die, just do it in moderation.

“Lay down! Lay it down! Suddenly it’s trash. “You’re scaring people!”

“Yaaaaap! “I thought you were a troll!”

“This is fun! ha ha ha!”

“Kwaaaaaak!”

That’s right. Well done.

When something is awkward, appropriate punishment is necessary.

Is there anything better than this, which is refreshing for those who were internally offended by Techid’s remarks and shows that he is living without fault as he said.

“Oh father! “Hey you bastards!”

“Mr. Techid?!”

“Ahahaha! “I feel refreshed inside!”

Teijun suddenly takes out a gun and I stop him.

Climbers covering their faces among astonished NPCs.

Even the cheering Pejing Union and the top hunters secretly pretending not to notice.

No matter what the process was, the meaning was conveyed.

Nothing specific has been decided yet, but at least we have created an atmosphere.

This is enough.

At least by getting started.

“Today is a party! “Brothers, gather around!”

Since ancient times, there is nothing better than festivals to achieve harmony.

Jaekyung Park, who had already been thinking about doing this since he came here, called Helldying Kitchen.

It goes without saying that he is a chef himself.

Torches lit up everywhere.

There are even people who say a lot because they think this is the time.

Although nothing is prepared, none of the people here are short on points.

At least they can take care of themselves.

They take out drinks and alcohol purchased from store windows and set off firecrackers.

“Everyone has accumulated a lot.”

It seems like everyone prepared from the beginning to find something to enjoy because they thought this was the right time.

They may have thought it was a place of harmony as climbers gathered in one place.

‘It could be that people have been hungry all this time.’

One way or another, the tower constantly presents trials.

There are quite a few people who climb alone in closed spaces.

Maybe you just want to relieve stress.

“You can enjoy today.”

Night on the 96th floor.

The gathering of so many climbers has great meaning in itself.

Shouldn’t those who have worked hard so far be given at least one day of rest?

* * *

I’m tired.

I am more tired than when I fought day and night.

There was also a physical aspect.

“Where on earth is Lee Jun-seok hiding?”

The biggest thing was that I was harassed by the union people.

Should I say that it felt like I was falling directly into a whirlpool of confusion while watching from a distance?

The coalition tried to find and punish Lee Jun-seok, the fundamental cause of this, but he never showed up.

Considering the circumstances, it must have been on the 96th floor.

‘Do you have a good sense of crisis?’

I prepared 101 ways to safely and painfully torment people for him.

Tsk.

Let’s not be too sad.

In the end, if you have a long tail, you will be caught.

If you think about it, the cause of all of this lies with me.

Just as I was yawning from fatigue that would not go away, Nyangfun, looking fresh, came out into the living room.

The hair loss man is still sleeping and he and I are lying on the sofa.

That’s because I woke up early and didn’t lie down, but fell asleep on the sofa.

“How are you okay?

“This is about as easy as it gets. “It’s been a long time since I had a fan meeting.”

That’s right.

Come to think of it, this guy is from an idol background.

Pink Punk was a fairly famous group, so they must have held several fan meetings.

“Ugh. “I will take away your stamina.”

“Naaah!”

Thump.

Lick Jjak, who was lying on the sofa, grabs Nyang Fun and pulls her.

A guy who is dragged and hugged without resistance.

What is that? Is it a body pillow or something?

Maybe it’s because the height difference between the two is about 30cm, so they can’t move.

It looks like there isn’t much will to get out of Nyangpundo.

I feel a bit more alert after having a slightly drowsy and leisurely morning.

“Wasn’t it more normal than the coalition people thought?”

Lick Jjakjak, who only turned his eyes to look at me, asked.

It’s normal.

“Of course.”

We were the only ones with a screw loose, but we were all fine.

And surprisingly.

“He was embarrassed to be called by a nickname.”

“Kkkkkk. “You feel it after experiencing it yourself.”

Lick, giggling and laughing.

When I called people I often saw in the community by their nicknames, I could see their faces turning bright red.

okay. This is it.

Isn’t there a saying called ‘yeokjisaji’?

Since they have experienced it themselves, there is no need to cause an uproar in the community anymore…

[Lost Farm]: The only thing that is disappointing about the first 96th floor meeting

[Lost Farm]: There is no Gongdu!

└ㅇㅈ If only Gongdu was there, it would have been perfect

[Muscle Pumping Warrior]: Have you seen the bald man’s glutes? This is real.

└Gluteus? Excited!

└ Fluffy and Muscle Fairy were no joke

└ That’s true, but Hair Loss Man is tall. It’s harder to fill it up with muscle ㅇㅇ

[Illusion]: A photo taken with Lick Jjak!

└Afterwards, Mr. Nyangpun, who realized it haha,

quietly turned off the community.

Yes, I had false expectations.

Humans are creatures of adaptation, and those who have survived the tower so far are those who have adapted faster than anyone else.

It’s already depressing to think that things will be the same in the future.

Still, whatever.

“I’m glad I became friends with other places this time.”

It is true that the Peujing Alliance is the largest force within the tower.

Because the number of people is significant.

Previously, their climb count was low compared to other top groups.

‘Now we’ve all caught up.’

A total of 43 people gathered on the 96th floor this time.

Among them, there are 22 members of the Pejing Union, including me and the members.

Well, there are people like Park Jae-kyung who have no clear affiliation.

‘Because it’s a case close to the Peujing Union.’

anyway.

This was especially true because there was no separate guild or strict rules.

We could join even if we belonged to a separate guild or group.

Although its scale and influence have grown, there are some who view it as a waste.

Because it was essentially a fan club, it seemed strange to climbers who were not interested in this field.

You’ve done a lot of different things.

[Player 32]: Is the community yours?

[MacGuffin_Black]: Subculture? What is this minor group? Is this a nerd gathering?

Since it appeared frequently in the community, some people were dissatisfied.

Aside from that, I wasn’t very close to groups that had their own goals or had long-standing ties with each other.

If you look at the Rookie Group and the Fairy Club, they were mainly involved with our members and not with the Pejing Union itself.

‘Big Star and Noble Knight are kids with clear goals.’

These weren’t kids who liked hanging out in the community either.

I’m glad we got this opportunity to hang out and become closer.

“I guess I’ll have to get ready soon.”

Now that the urgent matter is over, it’s time to move.

This time, everyone decided to get together and exchange information.

We are also looking for a solution to the problem on the 96th floor.

There will be a gathering place for climbers and NPC representatives.

Since it’s after lunch, we’ll be meeting in about 4 hours.

Naturally, the members and I will step forward as representatives of the Pejing Union.

I also wanted to take Lee Jun-seok, who actually manages the alliance, but I couldn’t find him, so I had no choice.

The Union people said it was on the 96th floor.

Saying that I would give it to you when I met you was only half a joke, and I wanted to see you at least once.

If you think about it, I also received help from Lee Jun-seok several times after joining TOP.

The timing is right for you to continue your thoughts and recover your condition.

-Quaang!

The door opened.

No.

It wasn’t opened, it was smashed.

As if they had been dozing off for a while, Lickjjakki and Nyangpun took out their respective weapons and held them.

I also half-drawn the chaos sword reflexively.

“Is this an attack?”

Thump thump thump!

The bald man, who was probably sleeping, also ran out into the living room.

“It’s an attack!”

What the guy who invaded said was also shocking.

They confidently call it an attack.

I sighed softly and lowered my sword.

“Oh, what is it? Teijun.”

“Who is behind you?”

Is there still some lingering festive atmosphere from the night before?

The person who came to visit us was Teijun and a man we had never seen before.

and.

“…Ophelia?”

It was Ophelia, the leader of the Noble Knights.

I corrected my posture.

It is not a configuration that can be carried together.

Plus, everyone’s expressions were unusual.

“There was an attack. “My father is recovering now!”

“There were people who were attacked last night. One person from Noble Night died, and Fabio, who was also attacked, is fortunately still alive.”

Teijun and Ophelia opened their mouths.

attack?

There are even deaths.

It wakes me up.

Naturally, my gaze went to the man behind me.

“I didn’t want to greet you like this, but I came here because of the situation.”

He closes his eyes and comes forward.

“My name is Lee Jun-seok.”
