I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 74

74 – Why do you have unique characteristics?

Is it because you defeated the boss-level mantis monster so easily? I blamed myself for letting my guard down for a moment and braced myself to never let something like this happen again.

After that, there wasn’t much difficulty.

A repetitive task of moving around, hitting monsters and scanning them diligently.

“Unique characteristics? What is this turtle bastard?”

I climbed on the flame-engulfed shell of a turtle scorpion monster and tilted my head, and only agreed after checking the description of its characteristics.

“It’s a real siege-specialized monster. It feels like it was created with a specific purpose in mind.”

– Kierrruk!···

In the distance, winged monsters were seen pattering down from Hong Seol and Shelter’s sphere attacks.

After roughly clearing the outskirts, I quickly moved towards the shelter to scan the guys.

+96P

The Insight trait attempts to rob you.

– Trait robbery failed!

Among his characteristics, [Nebo’s Protection] Increases the speed of magic recovery when hovering in the air for a certain period of time, and [Magic Blade] Is the ability to fling part of the body like a blade.

“The magic blade seems to only work on humanoids if it is used by pulling out hair… It seems like it might be useful if it is grafted onto Tenkete…”

Puggeokeuk!

I jumped into the air, swung the pohola I had caught, and reached the shelter.

– Haaa!

– Keueek!

Around the shelter, Hyunah Kim and all the shelter people were running out and beating up the shield soldiers.

Inside the shelter, Uncle and Eunchae were still attacking with the synchronized spheres.

Shelter durability: 43,999/47,000

“You saved a lot of durability. When the firepower was concentrated in the beginning, Amna’s dedication showed its power.”

And just before the last remaining monster is hit with a sphere shell, the stage is cleared.

The characteristics of Eunchae were connected to a mantra.

As soon as the trait [Abundance] Was activated, a clear message appeared, and the option of what to do with the remaining shelter durability came to mind.

“Everyone makes an offering to the goddess.”

＜43,999 Durability is converted into points and offered to the Goddess of Abundance. With the grace of the goddess, a portion of the offered points is returned to you every day.

Daily point supply: 264＞

“Good shot~”

Yoon Byeong-cheon, who happened to be next to him, raised his thumb.

While playing Stage 21, we calculated the point consumption per person per day, even at a rough estimate, to be around 40P.

So, now we can solve the point supply and demand for 6 people with one investment.

“It’s fun…”

With the ability to borrow characteristics and the overall power increase of team members, it was a struggle to swim.

I felt like I was able to feel the fun I felt at the beginning of the game again, thinking that the stage was not an object of fear, but an opportunity to realize growth.

And a clear message that came to mind after a long time.

＜1,224,000P is added due to the shelter effect.＞

Points held: 15,284,543

‘··· I expected it, but the supply and demand of points jumped several times. Earning over 8 million points in one stage…’

I earned close to 100,000 points by scanning with the insight trait, and 4201, who joined as a new sponsor, was a big contributor.

And the total of the gifts given by the numerous spectators who made small donations was about one million.

It may have been a combination of all the donations received during the 21st stage, but I was still dazed for a while by the sudden increase in income.

It’s a bit disappointing.

‘After scanning nearly 7,800 animals, the only two characteristics I obtained were swinging wildly and walking quickly.’

Small steps (intermediate)

– Move by specifying the ground near where your gaze touches. (3 Times per stage)

– Movement speed increased by 70%

– You cannot change direction mid-movement.

‘It has limitations, but if used well, it is a better trait than sprinting.’

It’s close range, but it can increase movement speed three times, so it’s definitely useful.

“Oppa – good job. Look at your face.”

Good scent…

It was a scent I smelled every day, but Eunchae’s body scent absorbed after the battle had another magical power.

When I looked around, I saw Kim Hyun-ah with a refreshed expression and her narrowed eyes were lined up.

Hong Seol also looked refreshed, as if he was very satisfied with his offensive power.

Euncheol was still unable to control his excitement as he froze several turtle monsters.

After showering, I lay down on the sofa for a while and checked Lingling’s messages.

Her team also didn’t seem to have had any major difficulties.

Lingling: The performance of several people recruited before stage 20 was very great. Those people are neutral like me, so the forces are now balanced into three. One of them is Korean and, apart from being a bit talkative, he was incredibly helpful!

“I’m Korean…”

Lingling: I heard his name is Lee Jung-shin. Do you know?

Doggo: I don’t know. This is my first time hearing it.

Linglin: I asked just in case! hehehehe!

Anyway, the Ringling team was still moving in the direction of strengthening its power by recruiting talented people.

“Is there room for monsters during battle? We’re about to explode right now…”

I didn’t understand for a moment, but considering that the space was folded here and there during the Punch Machine event, it seemed like it was possible somehow.

“Anyway, let me ask you sometime… Um… Wouldn’t it be better to leave stage 25 alone?”

After clearing stage 25, I plan to make a suggestion to Lingling.

In the current atmosphere, there is a high possibility of rejection.

“Because just suggesting it once won’t ruin our relationship.”

After this, an additional ring was purchased for each of the 12 people who only had one Mob stone.

Points held: 12,886,943

The team’s mana has increased by another 660, so the next stage will be cleared with ease.

However, since there were three mantis monsters in the next stage, Euncheol decided to team up with Hyuna Kim to freeze one of them.

“The host has the scent of a butler. Speaking of cats… Is this the one people were talking about?”

I thought it was an easy stage, but the number of deaths was 1 million.

“It must be because of the mantis chimera that the number of deaths is not decreasing…”

If you were a Shelter who barely got past stage 20, this stage would have been quite painful.

Balanced stats, 6 hand blades, huge body, hard keratinized outer shell.

It was easy to get over it because it was our shelter, but it was definitely not an easy enemy.

And a new monster appears, which the host calls a cat.

He was said to be an annoying guy who rode something like a black panther, moved quickly, and used hit-and-run tactics.

It looks like a Yeti that has lived its entire life in the jungle, and it attacks shelters and players using its long spear.

“So, I hope you come up with something good.”

I uploaded messages little by little, as if I was pecking at a Hwatu card, and checked the list of stores that were recently unlocked.

And after a while, a ticket caught my eye.

Attribute Limit Expansion Ticket

– Extends trait limits by 5

Price: 500,000P

“Huh? “It’s not as expensive as you think, right?”

I never thought of a frog tadpole, but 500,000 points doesn’t seem that expensive anymore.

Anyway, I was happy because it was a product that relieved my worries as I was slowly approaching the limit of 20 characteristics, so I checked the following list.

Right to install shelter moat

– Install a moat surrounding the shelter. (Current shelter rating: Advanced+++)

Price: 800,000P

“Do you think it would be better to install a moat?”

I asked Hong Seol, who came next to me and touched my thigh.

“Yes. Do you think it’s worth the money? “I think it would be much safer if we could just stop the small dogs from advancing for a certain period of time.”

– 800,000P

As soon as Seol installed the moat with his opinion, a long pit began to form surrounding the shelter.

The people in the shelter came out and watched the process, and then nodded with satisfaction on their faces.

I also went out and looked around, and when I stepped on the pit, a transparent floor was automatically created, so it was designed so that we could pass by without any problems.

The width is still only about 1m, but even with that alone, it will not be easy for shield soldiers to attack properly.

“Let’s go through the stage first and see the effects.”

“Yes. It seems to be quite effective.”

While I was talking to Mr. Jeong-gi while looking at the moat, the scent of powdered milk spread to me and I turned around.

“Would you like to see Woojin’s dad? Dad. Try it, Dad.”

“Abbu-“

hehehe, cute thing.

Hong Seol came outside holding his son Woojin.

It was a sight I had become somewhat accustomed to by now, but since I rarely came out of the shelter, I stared at Woojin for a while, caressing his cheek.

“Dad?!”

“Wow…”

Although he still had a long way to go before he could follow her words, she was trying hard to stimulate the baby.

After spending some time walking around the shelter with Seol holding the baby, I returned to the sofa and read through the newly created store list.

The remaining points after buying the moat are 12 million.

Points held: 12,086,943

“The equipment is… A ring, and… A spear? “This is my first time using a window.”
