#261, Sell it to the player
4th floor of an office building in a corner of Mapo, Seoul.
Seo Beom-jin got off the elevator, checked the name plate and stuck out his tongue.
‘her… ‘I thought it was just a detective agency.’
This was because the fairly neat building and the scale of using the entire floor were very different from what he had imagined.
When I waved my hand in front of the automatic door made of frosted glass and there was no response,
Seo Beom-jin, who smiled shyly to himself, shifted his gaze to the security device, camera, and doorbell in that order.
‘SHIS… .’
I rang the bell and looked at the name plate again, but soon the door opened and Yoo Jae-hyun, smiling brightly, walked out.
Weeeing─.
“Hey. “How long has it been since this happened?”
Seo Beom-jin, who witnessed the view inside the office over Jae-hyeon Yoo’s shoulder, joked half jokingly.
“what. What’s happening. Did you really succeed? Why are there so many employees?”
“Don’t misunderstand. “Let’s go in.”
Seo Beom-jin said, following Yoo Jae-hyeon.
“Hehe. “They said it was a private intelligence agency, but honestly, I thought it was just a detective agency.”
“There is no difference in what I do. And technically, I am the owner of the pants.”
“Boss Baji?”
Crash.
Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-hyun, who had arrived at the representative office, took Seo Beom-jin in, closed the door, and pointed to the office space outside the glass floor.
“These people are all from the National Intelligence Service during the Hong administration. “The black agents that are out there are all A-class.”
“Oh really?”
“What kind of money would I have to hire people like that? “Sohee paid all the money.”
“Hong So-hee?”
“uh. Sohee is the real boss here.”
ah. so… .
Looking at the mission of ‘SHIS’,
I understand intelligence service, but I was wondering what SH stands for.
However, the inside story that Seo Beom-jin learned was not simply about the mission.
It was the same reason why he sought out Yoo Jae-hyun first among his many classmates.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Because they were people who shared the same pain.
Suddenly, the two people who had been exchanging silent glances opened their mouths at the same time.
“well… How have you been?”
“how have you been doing?”
Jaehyun Yoo asked with a grin.
“You should get along well then. “Did you come in at all?”
“It’s not up to me to decide, so I don’t know what will happen later… . for now.”
“Oh, you came here for work? Come to think of it, I heard you entered PHC. where?”
“It’s Tersus… .”
“Wow Mr. “Isn’t it bigger than the Wagner Group?”
“Just in terms of scale.”
“wait. But what does it mean that Tersus came for work? “Is something going to happen again?”
“It’s not like that. Just establish a branch. “It was a little late to establish a branch in Korea.”
“ah… . but. “We’ve only been open for four years, and we’ve experienced two major disasters in that time.”
“But Mr… “The Yeobin Association is a bit picky.”
“Because PHC can be a security threat depending on who requests it. … what? Are you really in charge?”
“what… .”
“Wow. Seo Beom-jin is the head of the Korean branch of Tersus? This guy really succeeded. Congratulations.”
“It may or may not be approved yet. So that’s it. “I just want to ask my brother for a favor.”
Yoo Jae-hyun paused for a moment and then smiled bitterly.
In the context of the previous topic, Seo Beom-jin’s request is obvious.
Lobbying always comes first, which is also the American way of doing things.
“… Oiled?”
“uh… . After all, if you pretend, you are pretending. “I want you to find out where I need to add oil to make things run smoothly.”
I already knew the answer without any further research.
“that is… . In principle, it’s the association’s job, though. “I think it’s probably the authentic copy that actually decides your licensing issue.”
Seo Beom-jin also knew what Jeong Soo-bon was.
Who is the head there?
“Han Seongjun… “They say I haven’t seen him again since then.”
“uh. “There is a vice-president named Seong Hyun-soo, and Han Seong-jun handles the work through him as a teller.”
This time, Seo Beom-jin laughed bitterly.
“So in the end… So, you’re saying I need to get Han Seongjun’s permission?”
“Of course. … why. You weren’t bad with Han Seongjun. With Taekwang Park – Oh, he’s also at Jeongsubon now. “Han Seong-jun’s aide, Linde, is doing tax fraud without doing anything.”
“Are you still not on good terms with Taekwang?”
Seo Beom-jin also went to Kwon Ha-seon’s father’s funeral, albeit late, and I heard that the two had a big fight there.
“What’s not to like? It’s already been more than 3 years… . By the way, thanks to the fight, I was able to talk.”
As Seo Beom-jin laughed, Yoo Jae-hyeon also smiled slightly and added.
“He was right. What’s wrong with Han Seongjun? Considering that he was separated from his father, he must have gone through a lot of agony of his own. But even so… , I think it would be hard to see him with a smiling face. I will definitely someday… .”
Yoo Jae-hyun stopped speaking, then closed his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
Seo Beom-jin was able to guess what Yoo Jae-hyun was saying.
plural… .
As long as he carries that blade in his heart, Han Seongjun will not feel at ease no matter what his relationship with his father is.
I knew it well because I felt the same way.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The gazes of the two people crossed once again in silence.
A look in your eyes that hesitates to say something. When each person felt that way about the other person’s eyes.
Crash.
Someone opened the door and entered without knocking.
“ah! There was a guest… , Seo Beom-jin?”
Since he had heard the inside story in advance, Seo Beom-jin naturally said hello.
“A long time. “You’ve become prettier.”
“Wow. My child started drinking American food and became more greasy. “When did you come in?”
“It’s only been a few days.”
“few days? It’s been a few days and now you’re showing your face? “You haven’t even contacted me?”
“No, because of work… .”
“What happened? “Just pretend it’s not important.”
“haha. just… .”
Yoo Jae-hyun, who waited for a while for the two to share their goodbyes, asked Hong So-hee.
“What’s going on?”
We only provided funds because we had something we wanted to pursue together, and she was not someone who visited the office often.
“ah.”
Hong So-hee, who looked worried for a moment after remembering the purpose of coming here, sat down on the sofa and muttered.
“… “Is this fate too?”
“What do you mean?”
Even though Seo Beom-jin asked back, Hong So-hee looked back at Yoo Jae-hyun and asked.
“Didn’t we talk about it?”
“Ah oh.”
Hong So-hee shook her head to herself, then stood up as if she had made up her mind, walked over to the glass, and adjusted the blinds.
“… … .”
Seo Beom-jin watched her in silence.
Hong So-hee, who had blocked all three sides from being able to see from the outside, went to the executive desk where Yoo Jae-hyeon’s name plate was placed and looked down.
Sweet.
You will hear the switch operating sound,
Weeeeing.
What sounded like a motor noise continued, and the wall behind the table split to the left and right.
“… … !”
Hong So-hee grinned and pointed to the space hidden behind the wall.
“You’ve seen it in a lot of movies, right?”
“… What.”
“What do you think?”
“How do I know?”
“Didn’t you go to America to increase your strength for revenge?”
“… … .”
“We weren’t playing around either. Follow me.”
As Hong So-hee nodded and entered the secret space, Seo Beom-jin looked back at Yoo Jae-hyun with a puzzled expression.
Jaehyun Yoo shrugged his shoulders and said, as if it was just as he was told.
“I couldn’t tell you earlier because it wasn’t my decision alone. Let’s do it together. plural.”
* * *
As expected, strong strength was not a sufficient condition for conquering the tower.
44th floor.
Even in Romance 33, the 43rd floor was my limit, so I ended up stopping on the 44th floor.
A stronger force than in the game helped me break through the 43rd floor, but the 44th floor, where there was no information at all, was really not easy.
Yes. information… .
With paths that were difficult to find, solving riddle-like problems, and sometimes including time constraints, the tower strategy was like a huge puzzle.
The skills to survive and endure on that floor are of course necessary, but that alone is not enough.
Information was the most important thing in the tower.
‘Sometimes it’s an experience that costs the character’s life.’
The good news is that I was able to survive several traps I fell into.
However, if I continued to recklessly try to break through like this, I felt like I would lose Gu Chang-soo.
“Changsu.”
“yes… .”
“I’ll do it alone from here on out.”
“Really?”
Gu Chang-soo, who had died several times but came back to life, was greatly pleased.
“Instead, you should go out and do what I ask you to do.”
“do! do! “I don’t mind anything as long as I can get out of here.”
It was an understandable reaction since I entered the order book on the 37th floor and stayed inside the tower until I attempted the 44th floor.
I didn’t count the days because I was in the tower where there was no day or night, but it was more than ten days.
In fact, no matter how crowded it was, it was difficult to conquer one floor and not go out and come back even once.
Even if you only look at the supply alone, it was inevitable, but it was possible because I had a subspace pocket.
“What happens to the top order books I’ve collected now?”
“Two on the 38th floor, three on the 39th floor… , one on the 40th floor, two on the 41st floor, one on the 42nd floor… . “Like this.”
“Isn’t there a 43rd floor?”
“yes.”
Even for top spells, the drop rate decreased slightly as the level increased.
“… It’s a shame. Anyway, go out and sell it all.”
“entire… “Everything?”
“okay. But sell it to the players. Not for those who are trying to secure it for jumping in advance, but only for those who can attack the upper floors. “Can you get an estimate just by looking at it?”
“yes… I know what you mean. … Shall we go right now?”
“uh. “Give me a return order and leave.”
“yes.”
In the empty palm of Gu Chang-su’s hand, a rolled up scroll appeared without any warning.
Players could also use their personal inventory.
Loco 33 provided unnecessarily realistic – very limited inventory space.
Of course, it was not comparable to Aspace in terms of capacity, but I was jealous of its simplicity.
“… … .”
When I received the return order and took it with me, another scroll appeared in Gu Changsu’s empty palm.
“then… . “I’m done.”
widely.
I grabbed Gu Chang-soo’s wrist as he was trying to hurriedly tear up the order form.
“100 million! “Why, why?”
“Changsu.”
“yes! yes?”
“If you betray me, I will come and kill you.”
“W-what, why did I… . “I never do that.”
“okay. “If you come to a world worth living in, you should live a long time.”
“… … .”
When I let go of my wrist, Gu Chang-su, who had been watching for a moment, nodded and tore the scroll.
It immediately disappeared in a blinding flash of light.
It wasn’t a particularly great plan.
If there is someone who returned from a higher level than me without being able to obtain the tower spell book, wouldn’t it be possible to purchase Gu Changsu’s tower spell book?
They probably have orders from a lower level, but there are times when they don’t have enough people.
There were also people who hoarded money to kick down the chaser’s ladder.
Even though they weren’t necessarily the ones who were ahead, the ones who started late even though I had penetrated the 43rd floor once were able to catch up while I was wandering around.
Regardless of whether you were ahead or behind you, you had to stop them anyway.
‘… Even the best guy in Rocco 33 wouldn’t be able to get past the 56th floor.’
As I encountered unexpected difficulties in conquering the tower, I changed my mind a little.
Rather than rushing too hard, let’s experience the letters engraved on the pagoda with our bodies.
In fact, interpreting the remaining 9 letters with a reading comprehension level of 1/10th is close to scratch heading.
However, after overcoming the danger of death several times, I naturally realized the strings that were used and expressed in traps.
I thought that meaningful progress would be made by understanding the relationship between succession and succession and inferring the missing points.
at that time.
Tsutsutsutsu.
“… … ?”
what?
The magic energy that I had been spilling carelessly without collecting it stretched like a thin thread and stretched out towards one place.
