Suzy burst into laughter and squatted down next to them.

“I told you earlier that I wanted to catch them on the first try. Actually, I made a bet.”

“A bet?” “A bet

?”

“A bet with the ‘Great Beings’?”

Suzy nodded her head vigorously.

As if telling the ‘Great Beings’ who were listening to her to look at her.

“As I just said, the condition was that we catch them on the first try.”

Peace’s eyes widened and she blinked.

“Team Leader, you’re brave. Against an EX-class… … .”

Saint also shook her head.

“That’s why. At first, when I couldn’t see them properly and Elaine’s shield broke, I thought there was no chance of success. To be honest, if I were asked to come back again, this is a floor I wouldn’t be confident in.”

Elaine also nodded.

“I think the visual aspect is definitely important. Since you can’t see them, it’s hard to predict. No matter how many times I come to this floor, I never get used to it.”

“You don’t think I’ll get used to it?”

“Yes.”

Elaine must have been quite tired, because the context of her words was strange. It sounded like she had been here several times.

When Suzy pointed it out again, Elaine smiled softly and nodded her head again.

At that moment, Saint, with a look of anticipation, suddenly sat up from his lying position and adjusted his rabbit ears, asking.

“So?”

“Yes?”

“So, what’s the bet reward? If it’s not someone else, but the ‘Great Beings’, then there should be something.”

“Ah. That’s why I worked so hard to clear the 81st floor. Now, those bandits and sluts are debating whether or not to give them the reward they promised.”

“… … What is that? People who won’t be… … No, they’re beings who won’t be.”

“That’s what I mean.”

As if unable to endure their conversation any longer, two new messages appeared in the status window that had been paused for a moment.

[νόμος coughs at your actions.]

[Νύμφη opens the shop door at your actions.]

– I wasn’t trying to wipe my mouth, but if the balance is off, it’ll cause problems with the bet with the Lord.

“After losing 101 times, isn’t that bet already off balance?”

– That’s not it… … .

“I feel like I’ve been fooled.”

– … … Since the shop door is open, you can come in whenever you want. However, this time, no one else is allowed.

It was a shame that I couldn’t go in with my teammates.

It was for safety reasons, and it was also helpful to have someone else’s perspective when purchasing items.

However, it seemed like the ‘Great Beings’ had made the greatest concession possible, so Suzy nodded without saying anything.

The idea of ​​being able to come in ‘whenever you want’ sounded really good.

She finally opened her mouth after reorganizing her equipment just in case.

“Okay. I’m ready. Show me around.”

– Right now? Yes.

The answer was refreshing, but the guy’s voice was devoid of energy, as if he had been laughed at and ridiculed so many times in the meeting.

[Νύμφη visits the store.]

As the system message appeared before his eyes, his vision became blurry. It felt like the space beneath his feet was disappearing, and he felt like he was falling somewhere.

‘It’s similar to the feeling I got at the top of the laurel tree.’

When Suji thought back to that time, she felt sick for some reason.

The special hint she had received back then was the worst.

The moment she unconsciously took a defensive stance, her vision cleared.

The place before her eyes was different from the Abi-Gyu-Hwan she had seen back then, and it was a completely different space from the inside of the tower she had originally stood in.

The floor was covered with black acrylic-like tiles, but it was so far out that she couldn’t tell if it was inside or outside the building. It was

so dark above that she couldn’t tell if it was the ceiling or the sky.

Here and there, glass boxes were placed on pedestals about a meter above the ground, and each box contained a different item. It

was more like a museum than a store.

There was no sign of people around, and the only person in the vast space was Soo-ji.

‘It’s beautiful… ‘

She thought absentmindedly.

The space, and each and every item displayed there, were beautiful.

She put her hand on the nearest glass box and looked at the snow-white boots placed inside.

[〈(Annihilation) Justice Boots〉 Tier 10

Speed ​​+129

Berserk (Strength and Speed ​​increased by 10%, increased from the value including item correction value.) Max Duration 9 minutes

Set Effect: Offsets the penalty incurred when Berserk ends.

Price 3,000F]

It was something I absolutely had to buy the first time I saw it.

Like any hunter, I wanted to get my hands on a set item no matter what. It wasn’t a simple collecting desire.

Since there was a limit to the number of slots where I could equip equipment, the difference between receiving the set effect and not receiving it was huge.

“This… … How do I buy it? F? What’s the price unit?”

The answer came back quickly.

– It’s a currency that’s only used here.

“I don’t have that currency? Are all the other items like this?”

– Then I can’t buy the item. What a pity.

Suji narrowed her eyes.

She wasn’t teasing anyone.

“Are we going to do it like this?”

– That’s not how it’s done. The bet was to take you to the store.

The guy seemed to have finally found his composure.

He must have figured out his blind spot.

‘Is this the conclusion you reached after a meeting? Taking you to the store and not letting you buy it?’

Suzy smiled in vain, dumbfounded.

Asking me to look at items I can’t even buy.

It’s like not letting you eat a banquet in front of you.

Suzy clicked her tongue and looked around in astonishment.

The items in the glass box were all Tier 10.

〈(Incandescent) Absurd Kite Shield〉 Tier 10, 〈(Flaming) Prayer of the Forsaken〉 Tier 10, 〈(Pitch-black) Fire Barrel〉 Tier 10, 〈(Frigid) Auto Bow〉 Tier 10, 〈(Catastrophic) Armor of Faith〉 Tier 10, 〈(Pitch-black) Silence that Screams〉 Tier 10, 〈(Incandescent) Shackles of the Dead〉 Tier 10.

There were also things that were the same as Suzy and Elaine’s main weapons.

Even Suzy had several copies of the “Shackles of the Dead”, each with different modifiers. There were even tier 10 versions of the armor and shield that she and Elaine liked to wear.

She looked around to see if there were any main weapons that Peace or Saint liked to use, but there weren’t any.

‘Is there a separate standard for items sold in the shop?’

She didn’t know the details, but she was sure that the items here were desirable. The

items that she got as initial rewards at the top floor of the tower were tier 8 or 9 items at best.

She had to collect three of these items and synthesize them to get a tier 10. To think that such a precious item was being sold at the shop. It would definitely be a great help if she could buy it.

And who knows, she might be able to synthesize a tier 11 item with three tier 10 items.

Suzy whistled lightly as she looked around at the things that made her eyes spin.

Even so, if I had enough money, I would want to ask for ‘everything from here to there’ like the main character in a drama.

She glanced at the log in the status window.

[απόγευμα is watching your actions with interest.]

[Νύμφη is watching your actions with interest.]

[Μουσα is watching your actions with interest.]

[σκιά feels sorry for your actions.]

[νόμος is elated by your actions.]

Suzy took a deep breath. She

couldn’t go back empty-handed after coming all this way.

If that was the case, she wouldn’t have insisted on catching the monster on the first try, and she wouldn’t have used such a wasteful item.
She tried to persuade her opponent calmly.

“Let’s talk.”

– Yes.

The guy readily answered.

“I think you’re mistaken. Remember carefully. I asked for an item to deal with EX-class enemies if I won. Do you remember?”

– That’s… … That’s right.

Now that he’s gotten used to this conversation, she could easily tell that νόμος’s voice was laced with confusion.

Suzy pressed on a little more.

“And that’s why you said you’d give me access to the ‘shop’.”

– … … But.

“Then you should give me something useful to deal with EX-class enemies, right? What if you just open the shop door? You set up goods that I can’t use, and say something fancy like I can come in whenever I want?”

These guys really were foolish.

Every single thing they thought was trivial.

When Suzy ground her teeth and argued, the guy was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh-like wind sound.

– I can’t win an argument.

“A fight about words? I’m just demanding a fair price. Don’t be weird with your words.”

– … … Okay. Just pick two and take them.

“Really?”

– Right. Anyway. Like mother, like daughter.

Soo-ji turned around to choose an item, but stopped dead in her tracks.

“What did you just say?”

– Huh?

Soo-ji asked with a completely different, sinister tone than before.

“… … What did you just say? Say it again.”
