SSS-Class Hunter is Going to Rest - Chapter 57

Episode 57 Negotiation (6)
2024.06.06.

The plan Daphne explained was as follows.

In any case, if it was certain that humanity had entered the countdown to extinction, Team Daphne would have to make an effort on its own, but at the same time, it was necessary to train as many people as possible.

To believe the words of the ‘Great Beings’. The hint that there really was a hint to avoid the extinction of humanity hidden in the Tower of the Philosopher, and that it would be possible to grow properly through it.

Right now, there were an overwhelming number of hunters who joined guilds and ran dungeons for their own gain, rather than those who ran the tower, but they also needed to build up their skills in the tower.

To do that, a certain amount of image making was necessary.

First, show how Team Daphne was working through the broadcast without exaggerating, and explain the strategy in as much detail as possible.

Since she couldn’t teach each and every team individually, Suzy thought that would be the most efficient way to do it.

The team members were hesitant for different reasons about whether it would work, but they had no choice but to accept it.

There was no other way right now, and it was really a desperate situation.

From then on, during the forced break time that the ‘Great Beings’ had given, Team Daphne lived a regular life. When

the sun rose in the morning, each person would exercise or do yoga, and together they would simulate the 81st floor and the floors thereafter, discuss which route to take when filming the video, and rest as much as they wanted during the remaining time.

Now that time really started flowing again, it was like running a marathon.

It was time to conserve as much strength as possible in body and mind.

Suzy looked at the cushion made of jewel cross-stitch with a happy expression and took out her terminal to take a picture.

Since she had really made good use of the items her fans had given her this time, she wanted to prove it with a picture.

Ding.

Ding.

Ding.

Suzy put down the terminal she was taking pictures of and looked at the status window. She

must have turned off the sound, but strangely, the notification window with the notification sound turned on was pouring out notifications.

Seeing the numbers over 999+, she was a little surprised and reached out to unmute.

[νόμος protests your actions.]

[Νύμφη expects your actions.]

[σκιά awaits your actions.]

[απόγευμα gets impatient with your actions.]

[νόμος gets impatient with your actions.]

[Νύμφη expects your actions.] [σκιά

gets impatient with your actions.] [

Τύχη gets impatient with your actions.]

[Μουσα gets impatient with your actions.]

[Κάστωρ gets impatient with your actions.]

[Πολυδεύκης gets impatient with your actions.]

Since it’s a number 999, I thought it was just a lot of talk.

‘… … ‘It’s increased.’

Suzy looked at the status window with puzzled eyes.

Up until now, it had definitely increased a lot, but there were only four ‘Great Beings’ combined.

I don’t know why everyone came here to watch while the team was taking a break.

‘I’m… … the main content of a famous OTT, what’s that?’

And it’s even free.

Something like that.

Suzy smiled in vain as she watched the log rising at an absurdly fast rate.

If there was going to be that much interest, why didn’t they have interest when I was climbing the tower a long time

ago? But when people were doing well according to their goals, they thought, ‘Oh, they’ll do well on their own if I just leave them alone,’ and didn’t care, but now that they were lying down, everyone was pecking at them like crazy, which was really pathetic.

Suzy thought about what to do and took out her ring.

Anyway, she needed to know exactly when this time-stopping event would end so that she and her teammates could prepare, and she also had a few things to ask of them.

As soon as she put the ring on her hand, her head immediately rang and she felt a connection with the great being ‘νόμος’.

– How long are we going to rest?

The first one to pop out was Chae-geun , who

must have been so frustrated. ‘If your inner thoughts are this obvious, it’ll be disadvantageous when we negotiate.’

Soo-ji thought that, and asked back as if she didn’t understand what he was saying at all.

“Why? What’s wrong?”

– It’s boring just watching. I wish he’d climb the tower now.

“Using human life as a tool so trivially. Isn’t our lifespan incredibly long? From their perspective, a few days or so are just a fleeting moment.”

– So?

“You’ve got too little patience for something like that.”

[νόμος protests at your actions.]

[Νύμφη is intrigued by your actions.]

[Μουσα is frustrated by your actions.]

[Πολυδεύκης is impatient with your actions.]

[σκιά is impatient with your actions.]

[Τύχη is impatient with your actions.]

[Κάστωρ is impatient with your actions.]

Even as he spoke, the log continued to rise without stopping.

– Because we’ve never been in a position to wait for something like this.

It really was.

How arrogant.

Suzy was planning to return to the top anyway, but she tried not to show it.

“I’m sorry. But it’s too much fun when you play. And you didn’t set a limit when you stopped time in the first place.”

– Because humans have tendencies. I expected it.

“What’s wrong with my personality?”

– I’m not the type to just play around and have fun.

“Did I look like a model student? I’ve been a bit lazy lately, but I guess that doesn’t reflect my personality?”

– Wasn’t that because something happened that was temporary?

Soo-ji snorted internally.

She thought he knew all the details.

Those events were before the alarm about the ‘Great Beings’ went off for her.

“But once you play, what can you do when you really enjoy playing? And if you follow people around and watch them, you’ll know how satisfied I am with eating, playing, and lying around.”

– But now that she’s about to leave, didn’t she put the ring back on?

“I talked to my team members, and they’re all still too worried. Instead of leaving it to a weak, small-handed, and small-footed person, why don’t you catch the monster yourself?”

– … … If that’s possible, wouldn’t it be a bet?

It seemed like she was getting angry. It seemed like she could sense the sarcastic tone in her speech.

But Soo-ji didn’t stop there and kept nagging.

“I can’t just climb the tower, there are many things I can prepare for here. If I train my mind and meditate, who knows? Maybe I’ll find a way to solve this situation.”

– Now… … stop.

“You’re rushing me so much, I’m starting to not want to climb?”

Soo-ji didn’t show any expression on her face, but on the inside, she was laughing at the pitifulness of the ‘great beings.’

Just because they’re divine beings and can control the life and death of humanity, they don’t necessarily need to be perfect as individuals.

But why are they acting so childishly?

[Νύμφη is intrigued by νόμος’s actions.]

[Μουσα is annoyed by νόμος’s actions.]

[Πολυδεύκης is intrigued by your actions.]

[σκιά laughs at νόμος’s actions.]

[Τύχη leaves the room at νόμος’s actions.]

[Κάστωρ is amused by νόμος’s actions.]

She glanced at the log.

It seemed that as the owner of this ring, she was more impatient because she had to communicate with Suzy directly in front of the other ‘great beings.’

– … … What do you want?

Not long after, νόμος asked.

Judging from the strange and creepy sound of ice forming and falling in her head, she thought the other person might be annoyed.

Suzy held back her laughter and answered right away.

“I didn’t really want anything. I’m just saying that because you’re giving me something, but I’m thinking about organizing my items and leaving. I’ll see what you do.”

– You’re watching me do it?

“There are quite a few boxes that I haven’t opened yet. I’m going to open them all and go.”

She raised her hand and pointed to her inventory.

A long, sigh-like sound of wind swept through her head.

– Are you telling me to manipulate the odds?

“Who told you to manipulate it? I said I’d just watch you do it.”

After saying what she wanted to say, Soo-ji opened her inventory and took out the items, laying them out on the floor.

Since all the rare and hidden-grade item boxes were still unopened, she had to open them one by one to check the contents, and on top of that, she had to strengthen some of the items she had obtained this time.

– That guy is watching too. There’s a limit to what I can do.

“That guy? The Lord I told you about last time? You mean the opponent in the bet?”

– Right.

“No, I’m not asking you to break some big rule, am I? “The last time I saw you, you seemed to have quite a bit of discretion.”

– Everything follows the rules of Shangri-la. Even if you have discretion, it’s not that great.

Shangri-la.

Su-ji smiled nonchalantly, repeating the words over and over again.

“That’s your opinion. Anyway, try to cooperate. I’ll try to climb up to the tower as quickly as possible, considering your sincerity.”

Once again, the sound of the wind that resembled a sigh was heard.

Su-ji almost laughed out loud.
