Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 76: Ruins?

How many floors did the lick go up to?

I left the day before, so about the 12th floor? It might be on the 13th floor at the earliest.

The condition for clearing the 13th floor is to hold out for 8 hours, so I couldn’t have reached the 14th floor in time.

It may be an exaggerated idea, but considering the performances Lick Jjak has shown so far, the 13th floor seems quite possible.

There is also a strategy I posted, so there is no need to go through trial and error.

Oh wait.

“How do I attack the 15th floor?”

Didn’t think of this.

The strategies posted so far are up to the 14th floor.

The 15th floor has not been uploaded yet. I didn’t really have anything to post.

Because I cleared the 15th floor through the hidden quest, not the official route.

Like the 9th floor, there is a way to raise the hidden quest strategy.

“Probably not.”

The hidden quest itself does not happen unconditionally.

It happens only when certain conditions are met.

And no one knows the conditions. I can only guess based on the circumstances.

I met the same conditions for no reason, but it’s not that someone can work and someone can’t.

For example, suppose there is a hidden quest that requires you to kill 100 goblins while wearing a ring on your finger.

The person who luckily found the hidden quest for the first time by hunting while wearing the ring did not know all the conditions, so he could tell people like this.

‘If you catch 100 goblins, you’ll get a hidden quest!’

The next person who heard this news also hunted goblins, but since they were bare-handed, even if they caught 1000, the hidden quest would not occur.

So what will happen?

how it goes that’s insulting

‘That bastard groped!’

‘Why can’t I!’

Like this.

“It didn’t matter because the conditions were clear on the 9th floor.”

Because I openly mentioned the key to the Hyaltine Relic in the notification window.

The 15th floor was different. Three presumed conditions.

“Find a clue to the carnage, have experience catching 4-star monsters, and have a frost flame sword.”

It’s already dropped here.

I’m looking for clues. No matter how possible, dealing with 4-star monsters is close to impossible on the lower floors.

Not to mention the Frostfire Sword. If it wasn’t for Rilka, I wouldn’t even know it existed.

In fact, there is no one to wake up but me.

“It’s also very counterproductive to upload it blindly.”

A raider title I have.

The attack contribution points change according to the reaction.

If you post an unreliable strategy, your score may go down due to the adverse effect.

I think I should give up on the 15th floor strategy.

Because there is no need to take risks.

“I’ll have to give up on the 16th floor too.”

I pet the panting fire puppy.

Clearing this place in an unconventional way also has nothing to say.

It would be useless to say that it was cleared because the fire spirit didn’t attack.

sad. The opportunity to increase the contribution level disappears like this.

[Slayer-Title (Growth type)]

-All stats +10

-Luck stats +5 (Luck stats are applied separately from general stats.)

-Current contribution: 102 points (48 points left until the next reward.)

“Only 48 points I can upload more.”

what a waste. I want to write something down and upload it, but if I do something stupid, I’ll only get resentment, right?

There is only one way to make this happen.

“Breaking the next floor and raising the strategy.”

“Geek. That’s right.”

Deokchun nodded as if he agreed.

Also a smart guy.

What to do has been decided.

Because of the damn infinite coins.

for attack contribution.

You have to climb up to avoid being licked.

After all, there’s no reason to avoid licking.

“It’s like a few screws are missing, and it’ll be difficult if you accidentally reveal your identity and end up in the hair loss man’s ears.”

Isn’t good good?

I put Deokchun on my shoulder and stood in front of the portal.

“Keeing. Kee-ing.”

“king! king!”

It’s a pity that the bull puppies approach me.

It was very cute wagging its tail, but cuteness couldn’t stop it from licking it.

“If you want to live too, you’ll have to slap your belly and wag your tail, right?”

I can’t understand it, but I left some advice.

It’s a short while, but it’s a reward for healing while fiddling with it.

Then let’s go.

[Entering the portal.]

-Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

;

I think I had a little motion sickness before. Now that I’m used to it, there’s no inspiration whatsoever.

It just feels like floating in water.

I think it’s more comfortable inside the portal because the heat is gone.

-Paaah

[I enter the 17th floor.]

So, it’s just a short time.

The dry wind brushed my cheeks as my vision returned.

Grains of sand sticking to your lips.

“Is it a desert this time?”

“That’s it.”

I let out a small sigh.

When it comes to hot things, there is no place like the desert.

Should it just be hot?

“There is no shade, no water. There are no more hiding places. Your sense of direction is gone.”

It’s a tough place to survive.

Paradoxically, it was rather bearable at the top.

You can get something to drink and eat at the shop window.

ah. right.

“Come to think of it, Deokchun decided to buy me something to eat.”

I promised to buy anything in the shop window once.

The shop window has also been upgraded to silver level this time, so there must have been more options.

It might be a good idea to choose before you get busy again.

“That’s it.”

Deokchun shook his head and refused.

Maybe it’s not the timing yet?

“To the ark.”

Deokchun makes a circle with his fingers.

“I don’t have enough points right now, so I won’t choose?”

“Quack.”

I did spend a lot this time.

I upgraded my skills and raised the rank of the shop window.

Anyway, clever, no smart guy.

But I still have over 6000 points, so what are they doing to buy it?

I am afraid now.

you have to make a lot of money

‘Fortunately, I came up with a way to make money.’

Skill book combination using skill synthesis.

If you buy a lower-level skill book and turn it into a higher-level skill book and sell it, you can literally sit on a money cushion.

If there’s a problem.

“The fact that you have to figure out the combination formula one by one, and you don’t know when the skill synthesis will be deactivated.”

Up to now, I have synthesized skills by relying on the eyes that keep an eye on the S-class Power Star and the luck stat, but there is no guarantee that this will continue in the future.

In order to continue working, I had to combine the skill books that can be purchased from the shop window.

It was limited in several ways.

Well, these are things you can do when you have some money.

It’s hard to try with 6000 points.

Shouldn’t it be worth trying if you have at least tens of thousands of points?

“Nothing goes easy.”

“That’s it.”

“Cheer up,” Deokchun taps his shoulder.

thanks. After all, there is only you

“In that sense, can’t I just give you a boxed lunch?”

“Geugegege.”

The guy who sticks out his tongue saying he has no clue.

It’s nasty. Someday I’ll be stronger and punish you.

I think Deokchun who read my mind laughed, but he must be mistaken.

Well, the small talk is over.

“The clear conditions aren’t that difficult.”

[Floor 17]

[Kill Sandman (0/30)]

[Kill Sandworm (0/30)]

[Find an Oasis (0/1)]

Monster hunting is easy.

Sandman and Sandworm. Because they are 1 star and 2 star monsters respectively.

Sandworm was also a 2-star horse, so it wasn’t difficult to deal with because of his low aggression.

With my specs, I can handle even a few swarms.

“Oasis is the problem.”

Sand dunes rising everywhere.

Terrain that changes whenever the wind blows.

Sand dunes collapse and reappear repeatedly due to sandworms popping out of nowhere.

There is virtually no way to locate it.

It is said that if you are unlucky, you may wander around the same spot.

Because of these conditions, a considerable number of hunters were retired on the 17th floor.

If there wasn’t a shop window, it would have fallen more.

“I don’t care.”

–

Perched on the tallest sand dune near Kuuk, I got into a high jump position.

Thighs pulled tight.

Enormous strength was gathered in the strengthened muscular strength.

– Quaang!

kicked the ground hard

Sand blowing in all directions.

There was a large pit in the place where I was.

I wonder if it floated close to 3 meters.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 9]

-Quaaaaaang!

I had a real blast.

A method that has been quite useful lately.

Acceleration and displacement using explosions.

Riding on the reaction force, I climbed higher.

-bang! Quaang!

Once more. And one more time.

I continued to use the fire balm until there were no dunes higher than me.

The mana is running out.

My body shakes from the repulsive force, and blood rushes to my legs because it defies gravity.

The point at which you feel dizzy after floating in a high place.

“found.”

I was able to find an oasis.

West. It’s not crazy far.

Although it is hidden by several sand dunes, it is within 10 kilometers if you look at the distance in a straight line.

I engraved the location of Oasis into my mind.

– Huung

The body that has lost momentum begins to fall.

fast. faster!

The downy hair stands on end as if riding a gyro drop, and the body shakes precariously with the wind.

A dangerous situation in which you may fall on your back or head if done incorrectly.

-Suaaaaagh!

“Ahhhh!”

I heard the wind tearing in my ears, and Deokchun also hugged my neck tightly and howled.

I dragged Deokchun.

“Do you believe me, Deokchun?”

“To him? To that!”

After tilting his head for a moment, Deokchun shook his head vigorously.

He read my thoughts and seemed to know what to do.

He raised his eyebrows.

“Just trust me!”

“Arch eh eh!”

Right before I hit the ground, I threw Deokchun up into the sky.

Deokchun flying through the air with a loud scream.

1 meter to the floor.

[Fog Stroke (b) lv.4]

-Saaa

I turned into a mist and gently fell to the ground.

There was no shock.

After a short time of 0.5 seconds passed, I reached out my hand after recovering my body.

“Gww!”

“Right.”

Deokchun, who fits in the palm of your hand.

Deokchun, who had been wide-eyed and giggling as if in a daze, regained his eyes.

“Geek!”

-The tongue that flies

aiming for my cheek.

I dodged by snapping my neck.

Whoops. How many times have you been slapped on the cheek? This much is predictable.

This is the greatness of mankind. Amphibians.

-Fuhuaaaak!

“evil! hey! Spitting fire is against the law!”

“Ugegegege.”

Deokchun spewed fire as if he felt resentful of not being slapped on the cheek.

I brushed it off quickly before it burned my hair, but I couldn’t help the smell of grilled squid.

I should be thankful that I didn’t burn Holladang. I almost went bald.

Next time, I’ll have to give you a nice cheek.

No hair, man.

“Whoa. let’s go.”

After a short commotion, I put Deokchun on my shoulder.

Got the direction. All that remains is to go there.

The method is not difficult. Jumping and flying with propulsion with a firebomb.

It’s not a very efficient way, but it’s better than running around and going the wrong way.

It’s been 10 minutes since I moved and moved alternately like that.

By the time I felt my mana drying up, I began to see an oasis with my naked eyes.

Sandworm and Sandman?

“Ughhh.”

“Geuuuuuu”

[Kill the Sandman (13/30)]

[Kill the Sandworm (9/30)]

Even those who died from the explosion are enough.

All that remains is to hunt near the oasis.

The 17th floor is also fine.

“I can run from here.”

To save mana and also to hunt.

You don’t have to fly to see it.

-Chaang

Nan pulled out the Frostfire Sword.

Thinking of hunting on the way.

“Geooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Go away!”

He slashed and slashed monsters in his path.

Those who could not be reached were swept away using the fire bomb.

For me, 1 2-star monsters aren’t even an obstacle.

By the time the oasis is so close.

– Woo-woo-woo!

“uh?”

[Hyaltyn Relic Key responds.]

The Relic Key in the treasure bag began to vibrate.
