Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 50. Is there anything else to watch?

Pickpockets and handlers. The fight between the two was a battle between a whale and a shrimp.

overwhelming disparity.

Officer Jinmu Lee’s ax was both heavy and sharp at the same time.

From the form he handled, he could tell that he had been using an ax for a long time.

It must have been that he decided on the weapon to use and practiced it even before he climbed the tower.

On the other hand, pickpockets were threatening in their own way, but they could not hide their clumsiness.

It must have been a street that was called to the tower after living without any preparation.

Still, the fact that I came this far means that I survived the tutorial and growth section.

‘Is there such a difference?’

It’s to the point of doubting whether it’s really a person on the same floor.

Pickpocketing isn’t particularly ugly.

Considering that he was an ordinary person, he had a toxic spirit and actively moved.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but sometimes sharp attacks follow.

Even though he was exhausted to see how much his strength supported him, he didn’t miss the sword.

Spinning around to find gaps was also good enough.

‘In terms of how much effort was put in.’

I’m already behind in all aspects of speed, physical strength, and skills, but I move more than my opponent?

It’s no different than just cutting off my own weight.

When I was looked down on, I had to risk everything and throw a gamble to increase my chances of winning, but to fight after a search battle.

never win

If you recognized that the opponent was strong in the first place, you had to use a strategy that suited him.

“How long are you going to just go round and round! Would you like to pickpocket with it?”

“Why did you pick up a longsword when you can’t even use a sword? Raise the window man!”

“I’m going to bet on where my wrist will be cut. left hand or right hand. Gather those who want to bet!”

“here! I’m hanging on my left hand 100 points!”

“Oh, I don’t know. isn’t that your right hand? 200 points bet!”

The audience wasn’t interested in the outcome either.

just enjoy the spectacle. Gambling was in full swing among the onlookers.

It must be a fait accompli that the processing officer wins.

“Haha!”

“Try to be a little more aggressive.”

Jinmu Lee’s ax blade ran across the pickpocket’s shoulder.

A shallow but long cut. Blood drips down the back of the head.

The most stimulating entertainment is a bloody duel.

“Oooh!”

“Oh Mr. I can feel it. Let’s make it hot!”

Every time people scream and go wild, the pickpocket’s body gets more scars.

The appearance of putting on a show for one’s own servants and authority.

Half mischievous spite full of shenanigans and surprises.

Even at the same time, there is even a viciousness that induces the other person not to give up by giving some gaps.

There was some data accumulated about Lee Jin-moo, the manager of the Daseong Guild.

‘I don’t think I need to see more.’

I didn’t expect to be able to see the proper skills.

If it was a life-or-death opponent, I wouldn’t have acted that way.

Already, that confrontation was nothing more or less than entertainment.

I turned around.

“I will pass. Please step aside.”

“Yaya, we have a seat.”

“It’s honey.”

Before I knew it, I went to the market to avoid more people.

There were many people gathering, but no one leaving, so it was easy to get out.

It wasn’t just walking.

I was thinking about the move of the processing officer I saw a while ago.

I know that what I saw now is not Lee Jin-moo’s strength. Still, I can guess a bit.

‘It was hidden because of showmanship, but the basics are solid. I like to fake and do a lot of flashy moves when dealing with pickpockets, but when I actually fight, I’ll mainly aim for counters.’

I ran a simulation in my head.

There was no difference in weight class. The weapons used were completely different, but me and the gnome were on the same level.

Is it to support the heavy axe? The handle of the sword belonged to the long side.

In a normal case, the difference in reach wouldn’t be large, but his attack could go deep in an irregular way.

‘Attack can fly from an abnormal trajectory as much as it is power.’

Fighting with Hunter shouldn’t be based on when you were a normal person.

This is because his physical ability has already been strengthened to the extent that he can perform movements that are impossible with common sense.

It’s only on the 10th floor, so it’s only weak.

I tried to fight Lee Jin-moo without skill.

“It will be easier than you think.”

“Quack.”

I thought I could break it down enough.

He did a lot of exaggerated movements to get the attention of the onlookers.

Inefficient but brilliant action.

It wasn’t something to do in front of an enemy who was seeking his life.

It’s only in practice that the degree is different, but well, it wasn’t that easy to change a habit.

‘Even to see the effect of authority, I can’t reduce that part.’

The better the reaction of the crowd, the higher the stats go up.

Conversely, if he is pushed away, a similar situation will arise.

To the audience, the character of the manager is not important.

As long as it can stimulate and excite you, that’s enough.

It didn’t matter who got hurt.

In other words, even if he gets hit and I overwhelm him, he gets a buff.

Either way, it’s a win-win situation.

Even so, it was not without gaps.

“It’s okay if there are no people.”

The law of destruction was simple. Stop if his authority creates a useless place.

Surprise peripheral line of sight dispersion. There were many ways.

If none of these things are available.

“You can use that method.”

“To the crab. Kwwwww.”

After reading my thoughts, Deokchun thought for a moment and nodded.

Let’s put the processing tube aside for a while. I had no intention of bumping into them until I got everything I needed on the 10th floor anyway.

For now, let’s focus on our original purpose.

Just in time, there was a commotion, and the market was quiet, so I walked around the streets more comfortably and looked at the goods.

Is there anything that looks special? While paying attention to whether the Power or Luck stat was activated.

First of all, I’m thinking of going around the mall.

I was also curious about what the NPCs were selling.

– With my daughter,

“Come on!”

The NPC sitting at the counter welcomed me.

A blue flame burning in his chest.

It is a mysterious phenomenon every time I see it.

I looked at the owner’s face as it seemed to be rude to stare.

“I want to see some weapons.”

“What is a weapon? knife? There are axes and spears. Just talk.”

“I’m looking for something, so I’ll look around for now.”

“Yes yes. Take it easy.”

You can’t ask if there are any weapons with hidden options.

I walked slowly and inspected weapons and armor and miscellaneous items.

‘It’s ambiguous.’

I did find it eventually.

[Sturdy Dagger (F)]

– Not special, but a solid dagger.

This is the general information you see.

However, the information revealed through the Authority.

[Sturdy Dagger (F)]

– If the master’s blood is soaked, a curse of bloodshed may occur.

– Absorbed blood (0/100)

– Recognizes the first blood eaten as the owner.

– However, the curse only applies to the owner.

It was that if the conditions were met, it could become a cursed dagger.

The Curse of the Bloody Blood.

It is a powerful curse that rots not even bones and flesh, but blood itself.

In terms of grade, wouldn’t A just eat and go in?

The only problem is that it only applies to the owner.

‘It’s just a cursed item.’

where do you use this

Should I use it for a present for a child I don’t like?

I considered the possibility that the person who received the gift would cut his hand and the possibility that it would lead to the manifestation of the curse, but there is still no answer.

Is it because it’s F grade?

I pondered for a while.

“How much is this?”

“It will be 200 points.”

“Check please.”

[Points will be deducted.]

I bought it after confirming that the price was reasonable.

First of all, it has a special function.

I put the dagger in the treasure bag and came out.

3 hours like that. I walked around the mall from east to west and inspected the goods.

The results were disappointing. Because that’s all I got in the first place.

“Well, there can’t be many things with hidden options.”

“That’s it.”

After all, the only thing I have hidden options for is Fellain’s yellow body.

The store will do this much and from now on.

“I have no choice but to aim for street vendors.”

“Ugh?”

Items that NPCs sell, but there may be items that hunters sell.

Deokchun cries, asking, “Are you going to go around again?”

It looks stuffy because it’s still in the armor.

I also have something soft inside, so I feel a little weird, but is there anything special?

After all, how to create opportunities yourself.

It was right to make a profit even if you sold your feet.

Still, I feel sorry for Deokchun.

“When I see street vendors, I buy them like snacks. The smell of chicken skewers was no joke. How is it?”

“Eek! Whew!”

The guy who is already drooling. I put my hand inside the armor and scratched the guy’s head and moved on.

* * *

“Choose, pick. I drop japtem.”

“Need something not sold in the shop window? Take a look around.”

“We sell daily necessities made by handicraft. It’s not sold in stores. I even have a toothbrush!”

Certainly, the quality itself is lower than the items sold by NPCs, but their own ideas shined.

A toothbrush made of monster hair and wood. It’s like a son of a filial son made by processing bones.

It also has razors. I don’t know how it was made, but they also sell shaving cream.

Things that can be made and sold because they came from outside.

I also bought some toothbrushes. In the meantime, I chewed the tip of a tree branch and used it as a toothbrush…..

I saw some Korean food that I missed.

It seems that those who have lived on the 10th floor for a long time are making kimchi.

I couldn’t help but stop my feet at the kimchi stew boiling in the pot.

The color is crazy. You absolutely must eat that.

In the end, all I got from going around the street vendors was a few necessities and a handful of food baskets.

There were no achievements whatsoever.

In the safe zone, the sun was starting to set, as if day and night were certain.

It’s time to go home.

I couldn’t look around anymore because the hunters who had opened stalls away from fatigue were closing their business.

I’m still sorry

“Let’s see one last thing.”

“Ugegegege.”

Deokchun was annoyed, but quickly calmed down when he put the walnut snack in his mouth.

How are you, man? Once you taste it, you won’t be able to come to your senses.

If you go into the dorm and try the kimchi stew, you will pass out.

It’s not something to feed a frog, but it doesn’t matter because Deokchun is a young creature.

Unknowingly, I approached the street vendor who was cleaning up, dreaming of Koreanizing Deokchun’s taste.

“Are you still in business?”

“ah? yes. Let’s take a look around.”

A man in his 30s wearing a robe.

His fingertips are dark as if something had stained his beard that had grown haphazardly.

what he was selling.

“portion?”

“yes. I have the power of alchemy. ah. What does it feel like to climb the top? The skills I acquired are far from combat. If I just go, will I be more of a bottom hunter? I changed my career path.”

Sitting on a rough wooden box, he opened his mouth.

He looked like a bandit, but his voice was thin and he talked a lot.

Was it a sales job before entering the tower or a two-much talker?

I don’t have much interest, but hesitating to talk.

“While this has happened, I’m trying to raise my potion making skill in the safe zone. After I leave, I can work at the research institute or guild workshop. After all, it’s better to work inside than hunt. Isn’t white the best color?”

“okay.”

“Here, we sell cheaply and collect points to buy materials and stay there. from bottom to top. A self-made potion maker! kuh! A large guild that recognized my abilities will surely send a love call.”

I roughly agreed with his words and inspected the potions one by one.

Whether it was self-produced or not, the rating wasn’t very good.

The effect is poor.

[Practice Potion (F)]

-Heals minor trauma.

[Ambiguous antidote (F)]

-Is it an antidote…?

There were also items that were questionable whether they could be used.

If you buy it cheaply, you might be able to use it somehow, but it wasn’t worth eating during a life-or-death battle.

Of course, there were no special options hidden.

I’m sorry, but as he said, a large guild will never send a love call.

“It’s okay. I saw it well.”

nothing more to see

I raised my bent body.

[The Luck stat responds.]

A light flickered from the wooden box he was sitting on.
