[Welcome to the 30th floor free zone.]

[Users below the 40th floor cannot watch the streamer’s broadcast.]

The first thing that greeted me as soon as I left the portal was the system message.

‘I don’t even know who went out.’

The number of viewers has steadily increased and has already reached 1,600.

– Wasn’t it 2,000 people earlier?

-I think there were about 400 people on the 30th floor.

-If we meet, will we pretend to know or not?

-???: p… … popoi.

– Oh haha

[Coins are distributed to viewers.]

– off

-Tell me if you need a coin.

-I don’t have any favorite kids.

-Really; Are only the real dead left?

-See your own payback.

Jaejoo Kim looked around carefully.

The characteristic bitter smell emanating from the wood-finished wall and the faint scent of the forest mixed with the dirt feet of travelers pierced his nose.

“What the hell is that ‘qualification’?”

“I’m going back, really.”

I saw people sitting in front of the bar table, lamenting and sipping alcohol.

“I heard that the Fairy King just killed him?”

“why?”

“I was trying to deceive myself with a lie or something.”

“Aren’t you crazy?”

Some people chatted while sitting on sofas placed close to the wall or at tables decorated like cafes.

It was crowded with people like that, and they didn’t care who came out or entered the portal.

“Wow. Here… … .”

Reynold, who followed, was next to Kim Jae-joo and burst out in exclamation.

“Where have you seen the most?”

Reynold nodded slowly and looked around.

“It’s a travel giant.”

As he said, the beginning of the 30th floor begins with the ‘Traveler’s Giant Tree’.

It was a kind of meeting plaza where exchanges between users took place, and at the same time, it was a place where trials began.

“Let’s start with the room.”

Jaejoo Kim nodded to Reynolds, who said he didn’t know what to do, and walked ahead.

Occasionally, people paid attention to Kim Jae-joo’s unusual attire, but he quickly lost interest and fell in love with his colleagues.

“Haha, something is awkward.”

Reynolds stared shyly into the air at the stinging gazes pouring around him.

“It’s only Asians here. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Rather, more attention was focused on Reynolds, a foreigner in a neat suit.

‘Did Seong-Min Han reach the 30th floor?’

As soon as Kim Jae-joo entered this place, he knew that people would recognize him and talk to him or approach him, so he was nervous inside, but he felt like he was losing his pulse due to the indifferent reaction.

– Why are you quiet?

– It’s kind of weird.

“But there are so many people.”

“… … Iknow, right.”

The strange thing was that it wasn’t the only thing.

‘… … Couldn’t there be so many?’

As Kim Jae-joo knew, the traveler’s giant tree was not crowded with so many people without a space to set foot.

When you go out, there are convenient buildings built by users recommended by the manager, and of course there are places that also serve as lodging facilities.

“it’s okay?”

When he stopped in contemplation in front of the exit door, Reynolds stared at him with a puzzled expression.

“yes… … it’s okay. Let’s go.”

Kim Jae-joo thought it was necessary to get more detailed information from Han Seong-min, so he opened the door and came out.

“Wow, is this really concrete?”

Reynolds followed and opened his mouth to see the well-maintained road on the ground.

The streets were neatly built in a modern way, to the point that when I turned my head along the road, the forest in the distance looked awkward.

“I think so.”

“I think the beings of the forest would be shocked to see this… … .”

Reynold looked around blankly, and when he almost bumped into someone passing by, he hurriedly retreated to the side with a smirk on his face.

This is because the streets were full of people like the downtown area of the globe, so it was just right to bump into each other.

“In the first place, I don’t even go anywhere where humans are, so maybe it doesn’t matter.”

“That is also true. haha.”

– Oh, it’s a memory from the 30th floor haha

– Have you seen me in a long time?

– But were there always so many people here?

-Nope; Actually, it was a bit strange in a giant tree, but this is a bit Abaseban, isn’t it?

‘how… … .’

Kim Jae-joo was immersed in trouble as he walked through the crowded crowd to find a lodging building.

I heard that the change occurred in the spirit forest, but I couldn’t understand why there were so many people.

“Do you know the way?”

Reynold, embarrassed by the crowd, caught up with him and raised his voice.

“yes. Don’t worry, just follow me.”

“It seems the viewers are telling you.”

“… … haha.”

-Yes-No.

– You never told me?

-Now that I know how to do it, there is no hunsu.

-Pago Kim, what the hell is he… … .

After passing the busy commercial street, I was able to breathe when I came out to the magic workshop street located in the middle.

It was because there were so few people that the surrounding scenery caught our eyes.

– It’s the same here.

-Really; The 30th floor is at a level where magic engineering is less neglected, but not to the extent that it is treated like that.

“I look forward to seeing what you make here.”

Reynold’s eyes twinkled and he scanned the machines in front of the workshop.

“There will be new materials, so I’m sure there will be good results.”

“My hands are itching just hearing about it. I need to remodel that ‘Enian’ quickly… … .”

“Now is enough, so there is no need to rush.”

“Haha, that can’t be! You’re my money, and I’ll make it my top priority.”

It was then.

A group approached Jaejoo Kim and Reynolds, who were walking side by side and looking around.

As if being chased by something, they approached in a hurry and lined up to block the way ahead.

– Mush haha

– Do you want to give it a try?

“there.”

All five of them were wearing their robes deeply, so their faces could not be seen.

“what happened?”

Jaejoo Kim prepares a prediction poem by turning magic into his body.

“Big, uh, huh.”

The man in the middle came forward, lowered his robe, and cleared his throat.

He was a young man with short hair, but his eyes were full of anxiety.

“Kim, you’re Kim Jae-joo, right?”

“But?”

The man flinched for a moment at the blunt words, then hardened his expression and opened his mouth.

“You came all of a sudden and was surprised. First of all, let me apologize!”

Then he quickly bent down, and the four people behind him also bowed and shouted ‘I’m sorry!’ as if they had made a promise.

– Belt?

– What haha

At first glance, there seemed to be no hostility.

To say that it was a sudden sneak attack, there was no aggressive movement even when predicted.

On the contrary, Kim Jae-joo’s face was to the point of burning hot as the people passing by said a lot.

“It’s okay, so stop.”

“yes!”

With a sharp answer, the man straightened his back and looked at Jaejoo Kim with a determined expression.

“… … First, tell me who you are.”

Jaejoo Kim sighed at those burdened eyes.

“yes. We belong to the ‘Blue Moon’ clan, which is quite large on the 30th floor. I am Yeon Jung-min, who is in charge of the head senior there.”

– Oh haha

– Do you think you know what it is?

-Really; This is normal, but the reaction from the giant tree was strange.

As the viewers say, Jaejoo Kim also got a sense of what they came for.

“Even though it is old and does not occupy any area, the solid bond between the clan members and teamwork-”

“stop.”

Kim Jae-joo cut off Yeon Jeong-min’s words about the clan and shook her head.

“I am not interested.”

“yes?”

“Are you here as an invitation to join a clan?”

“uh… … Yes. I know you’re not part of a clan… … .”

At Kim Jae-joo’s decisive attitude, Yeon Jung-min blurted out the end of her speech.

“I have no intention of going anywhere yet.”

“If you are embarrassed to have come suddenly… … .”

Yeon Jung-min looked at his eyes with a tone that was filled with regret, but Kim Jae-joo shook his head again.

“no. I’m not really interested.”

“Oh, you see… … .”

“There is something else I want to ask you.”

Yeon Jung-min nodded quickly.

“Yes Yes! You tell me.”

“How did you know I came to you? I don’t think anyone recognizes me in the traveler’s giant tree.”

“Ah, that… … .”

Yeon Jeong-min, with a frown on her forehead, scratched her head, and then slowly opened her mouth.

“Someone keeps spreading false rumors just in time for Kim Jae-joo to enter the 30th floor. You can’t find it unless you’ve seen it in person.”

“yes?”

“I heard that he was a man in his 40s, or that he was a woman after seeing him in person… … Some say they have already entered the 31st floor… … So anyway, everyone probably thought it was a rumor and didn’t know about it.”

Jaejoo Kim noticed one strange thing.

“Then you are saying that they were the viewers who watched my broadcast?”

“Oh, right. That’s why I came here to make a recruitment offer… … .”

“As I do my calculations now, I think about 400 of my viewers were staying on the 30th floor, do you know where they all went?”

Yeon Jung-min took a deep breath and opened her mouth quickly.

“As you can see, there weren’t that many people there, weren’t there?”

“yes.”

“The conversation was at a level where we couldn’t even speak properly, so everyone resigned. There are probably hundreds of people waiting for Jaejoo Kim in this neighborhood or in a secluded place.”

Jaejoo Kim felt a more fundamental sense of incongruity than that.

“… … How many people are there originally on the 30th floor?”

Yeon Jung-min smiled bitterly as he shook his head and said oh well.

“Oh, look at my mind. I didn’t tell you that. All channels on the 30th floor have been integrated.”

Jaejoo Kim only then realized the identity of the sense of incongruity, and quickly called the system window and changed the channel.

nevertheless.

“Is it the same?”

Yeon Jung-min was still smiling shyly looking at Kim Jae-joo in the same place.

– mm

-Has it changed like Tarha?

– That’s not it. Users who tar are separated and dropped.

‘Unlike Tarha.’

When the user changes the channel, unlike the 20th floor, where the user stayed on the channel, the 30th floor merges everything.

“So now everyone has their eyes turned on.”

Yeon Jung-min was afraid to miss the chance to get to know Kim Jae-joo, so she opened her mouth quickly.

“What do you mean?”

“If a human who has been recognized by the Fairy King appears, there is a high possibility that the game on the 30th floor can change itself.”

Jaejoo Kim understood what Seongmin Han was saying.

“It is no different than saying that a human being trusted by the Fairy King would seize the power of the 30th floor.”

At that time, I was skeptical about how much influence I could have on users in 100 divided channels anyway.

‘This… … .’

If all users are tied to a single channel, the story is different.

“So now there is a commotion. Without even making a suggestion to the manager, people who are dying are homeless in the open forest… … .”

-Oh, shhh

-???: When I was in LA…

– Whoa!

Kim Jae-joo sighed as he saw Yeon Jeong-min talking nonstop.

“Oh, did I say too much? haha.”

Yeon Jung-min, startled at him, quickly looked into Kim Jae-joo’s eyes and spoke carefully.

“So, are you going to the Fairy King right away?”

His eyes were shining brightly to see if there was any falling Congolese.

“… … I guess so.”

Jaejoo Kim had an intuition that he had something to deal with first.
