38. The mindset is that you can get the jewel anyway.

***

“You have arrived!”

“Lucky brother!!”

Quaaang—

As soon as Cheonun entered the battlefield, the situation changed quickly.

Jenna and Azel went wild after receiving the golden buff he emitted-

uuu!

The elite glitch, which was giving off such fierce momentum, collapsed in an instant.

“Wow….”

“We were on the bus.”

Yuna and Yeon Geun-gwan looked at the scene blankly.

Of course, they were able to capture the elite. I was also buying time until heavenly fortune came.

However, I never thought that Cheonun would appear and kill the elite like this.

In fact, it is common sense that catching an elite takes a considerable amount of time.

That’s why, when initially planning the route, we excluded routes that go through a lot of elites.

However, Cheonun, Azel, and Jenna caught the angry elite in an instant.

Just like when catching a general glitch.

The overwhelming performance made my complicated mind clear up.

“… But first, what should I tell you?”

“Yes.”

The elite was caught-

This is the ‘Room of the Angry Elite’. This is a place where no one knows the clear conditions. Even if you catch the elite, a portal to the next floor is not created.

The two people defeated the elite and hastily changed their expressions again to the approaching Cheonwoon.

“Oh, as expected, Fomaljo! “You caught something in one go that we haven’t been able to catch for hours!”

“Look, Brother Woon is not the kind of person we would dare tell anything about, right?”

“… Hey, I heard you were waiting for me to tell you how to catch it.”

Hearing Cheonwoon’s words, Yeon Geun-gwan scratched the back of his head.

I somehow managed to hold out until he came. Moreover, as he captured the elite in an instant, a good compositional picture was definitely created.

However, the problem came after this.

“There was a wait, but we didn’t expect it to happen so quickly…. Hmm, anyway, even if it’s elite, it doesn’t seem like a big deal to Fomaljo… If I had known this would happen, I would have taken a different route to catch a lot of elites. hahahaha… “

“I earned a lot of points on this route, so isn’t it okay?”

At my question, Chugwan and Yuna both scratched their heads at the same time.

“So that’s….”

“Actually, as you can see, the portal won’t open even if you catch the elite….”

I looked back at the words of the two people. Originally, the portal did not exist in the location where it should have been created.

“… “Has this not been cleared yet?”

“Yes, so this isn’t just an elite room. It’s an angry elite room….”

“No one here knows the clear conditions.”

“No one knows the clear conditions?”

“Yes. If we had known in advance, we would have avoided it….”

“It was originally an elite room, but it suddenly turned into an angry elite. This is 0.1% Probability….”

Looking at what he says, his facial expressions, and his attitude-

The current situation seems to be a bit embarrassing even for the two people who are known as dead people.

“… Does that make sense?”

First, I went to the place where the portal was originally supposed to be.

Then he waved his hand.

“There really isn’t one.”

I have dealt with the elite glitch, but it cannot be cleared.

“Yes, no one still knows how to do this, so if you know in advance, it is usually avoided. But this time it suddenly changed… “

“It doesn’t open when you catch a monster, and it doesn’t open when you perform a specific action….”

In fact, the only condition for opening the portal is to catch the monster –

No one at the tower has ever explained this. I just generally accept it and say, ‘That’s right.’

There will definitely be different clear conditions.

“Hmm, there must be a way.”

“That might be true…. But we think this is a bug created by Benongat.”

‘Benongat created a bug.’, D.

I’ve been thinking about it since I was in the break room. Is this tower a game or not?

Chu Gwan-i seemed to perceive this simply as a ‘game.’

The same goes for Yuna.

“Hmm, so anyway, wouldn’t it be resolved if Woon oppa discusses this with Benongat? That’s what we think.”

“That’s right. Anyway, even if 2nd tier people like us talk, Benongat won’t listen. It was designed so that it could not be broken in the first place, and there was no proper compensation. “Does this make sense?”

Yeon Geun-gwan spoke with a sense of injustice and frustration. In addition, he adopted a stance of slightly leaning towards Cheonwoon.

However, Cheonun just tilted his head.

“No, my thoughts are a little different.”

Well, apart from bugs and all.

“Do you two really think this tower is a game?”

“… Isn’t it a game? Even if you die anyway, all you have to do is get out of the tower… It’s not right to see it as just VR game-like content… It’s me?”

Yuna answered vaguely. On the other hand, Yeon Geun-gwan noticed something and quickly changed his words.

“Uh…. I originally thought it was a game, but now I suddenly have this thought. ‘I guess Cheonun-nim’s words are right.'”

hahahaha.

As Yeon Geun-gwan scratched the back of his head with a flattering expression, Yuna hit him on the forearm.

Wow—

“Ahh! Wow, sorry. “Tell me.”

“… As you said, it could be a game. But there were too many strange parts for it to be a simple game. Don’t you think, “Why does Mr. Taecho exist, and why is it so big for no reason when the rest area is only going to be located at the resort?”

“Umm… “Is that so?”

“I’ve never really thought about that part, but it’s definitely strange.”

At the question I raised, the playful atmosphere that the two people were giving off disappeared in an instant.

“So, unfortunately, I left alone at the resting place.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh, what kind of dogmatism are you talking about?” . “We are just assisting Cheonwoon as much as we can.”

With one ear to the now familiar social life of Yeon Geun-gwan, I took out my identity card from my pocket and showed it to him.

“That’s where I got this.”

[Α]

“What is this?”

“Jin Sponsor App… ? “What is this thing here?”

“They said it was the alpha key.”

[Sponsor], Or rather, the app screen where you are now a [True sponsor].

Only the ‘Alpha Key’ that I had picked up from my resting place was drawn on a blank white background without any other UI.

“Actually, it could be considered an Easter egg in the game. However, in order to obtain this key, I had to keep doing ‘useless things.’”

It’s me, it’s a shame because my buff was applied to me-

If it were an ordinary sponsor, it was a distance that could have been reached only by spending all of the available 168 hours on foot, knowing in advance the exact location of the strange cave in the mountain.

A ‘useless’ act that does not fit the purpose of ‘clearing the tower as much as possible and acquiring goods.’

But when I did that, it gave me this unique height.

“Unnie, then what do you use that key for?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. But, this is what I think. Could this key actually be a way out of this seemingly buggy room?”

– Or something like that.

“I think there is a point. But if you say there’s a place where you can use a key in a cave like this-“

Yeongeun Gwan said that and looked around him.

“… “I don’t think I can see it, but let’s look for it first.”

“Well, wouldn’t there be a keyway on the cave wall or something? “If you watch fantasy movies from the past, something like that will appear.”

Yuna looked at me with her eyes sparkling.

Mr. Chugwan made an argument.

“Kid, I’ve read too many novels. “That key isn’t even a physical key, it’s in the app.”

That was when Mr. Chugwan was arguing with Yuna.

Something caught my eye.

Just as Yuna said, there is a groove in the shape of [Α] On the cave wall.

Like, this is the groove where you put the key! It seemed like he was saying.

“… “I guess Yuna was right?”

I don’t know if it will work or not.

But first, I brought in my identity card.

Just like tapping ‘SamXPay’ or ‘AeXPay’ on the card reader.

Then.

Beep—

Kwagwagwagwang—

Suddenly the cave started shaking like crazy.

The earthquake continued for a while, and soon.

Thump—

A [Β]-Shaped key popped out from one wall of the cave along with a sound.

[Beta Key]

“… And.”

“Look at this old man! “I’m right!”

***

We were victorious and quickly climbed the tower.

After beating the Angry Elite Glitch room, I was quite relaxed after that.

It is high enough to climb up while chatting.

I roughly told the story about ‘Mimic’ that I experienced with Jenna and Azel.

“… Well, fortunately, I stopped it.”

Then, Mr. Chu Gwan reacted first.

“As expected, you are Fomaljo! Wow, you handled Mimic like that yourself! Actually, it’s a bit difficult for an ordinary person’s body to deal with mimics. Actually, in the past-“

“Mister! Are you going to talk about that again?”

Yuna blushed.

“How long are you going to pretend to be a kid? Even though I called you a kid, you really act like a kid. Anyway, Fomaljo, there was actually a very weak supporter in the past, and the contractor was Mimic….”

“Noisy! When will you arrive at the room and you’ll keep talking about such perverted things?! “Hurry up and open the box and give it to Lucky Oppa!”

Yuna’s power slam(?) Exploded onto Yeon Geun-gwan’s back.

“But wait a minute. Let’s not bother opening it. “I just want to be blown away.”

Because I don’t want to see Mimic sticking her tongue out at Xena and Azel again.

When Cheonwoon extended his hand to Azel and took the hammer, Yeon Geun-gwan and Yuna urgently tried to stop him.

“Uh… Fomaljo, we have the skill to distinguish between a Mimic and a regular box to some extent.”

“Luckily, there is a greater than 90% chance that that is a real box.”

“Hmm, really? But more than 90% means there is a 10% chance, right?”

That’s right.

Still-

“There is a high probability that it is a box, and even if it is a mimic, it can be disposed of immediately, so the national rule is to open it first. “This is especially true in the beginning when jewel supply is limited.”

“But I will break it with a hammer.”

“… Yes?”

“As I said before, you have to do something useless to give it to me. These keys.”

The Alpha Key obtained by going through a useless cave in a useless location, and the Beta Key obtained by needlessly entering the angry elite room where everyone said ‘there is no reason to enter’.

“If I break the reward box once, won’t the next key come out?”

So far, I’ve gotten one from the rest room and one from the elite room. The remaining room types are random, normal, and treasure chests.

Random room is actually a room that appears randomly among other rooms.

I thought the remaining key would come out of either the normal or treasure chest room.

Among the two, I think the probability of finding a key in the treasure chest room is higher.

“Anyway, we’re fine because it’s a reward for luck….”

It’s still early days, so it would be best to watch each Jewel as much as possible, right?

Cheonwoon shrugged her shoulders at Yuna’s worried words.

“As you know, most goods are plentiful….”

“I have the mindset that I can get the Jewel anyway.”

In fact, Jewel has already set a new record in the dungeon and is the most popular among my riders.

The two shrugged their shoulders and took a step back, as if telling them to take care of it.

“Then I will destroy it.”

.

.

.

Outside the tower.

The faculty of Benon Academy gathered near the tower, waiting for the sponsors who cleared the tower to return.

But, then.

Great cherry—

Great cherry—

With the sound of a huge bell-

Benon God’s sacred rays began to illuminate the tower.

This is an effect that appears when a sponsor starts sponsoring or gives a gift.

However, the back and forth did not match.

“What is it? If you don’t have a sponsor, you won’t be able to enter the tower….”

Still, the bell rang.

Benongat’s message passed between them who were kneeling without understanding the meaning –

No, his mantra resonated.

— Sponsor Jin’s birth is imminent.
