Ch 70
Episode 69 – Plan.
Sewoon Lee was a senior.
It means elder, and it is a position given to you if you want to roll a little in the clan.
It also meant that the link with the 10th floor would be cut soon, and it would be like shit to roll again on the 20th floor.
Since it was a lower clan created on the upper floor in the first place, there were no regrets on the 10th floor, but it was clear that life in the tower would become difficult if a death occurred.
That was definitely the idea.
“Can I consider myself in a position to make a deal?”
Until you meet the monster in front of you.
Now, he has to worry about the present rather than the future, and his life rather than wealth.
“of course.”
Sewoon Lee forcibly turned his hardened brain.
‘young.’
It was a cold impression, but I was relieved by the youthful face.
No, I had to force myself to think that way.
Otherwise, every word that comes out will squeak.
“Do other people think so?”
“I’m the leader here, so don’t worry about it.”
There was no need to ask for consent.
Because they, who were at the entrance, were so tired now that they couldn’t even open their mouths.
On the way home, I saw the inside of the temple in a mess, and there was no blood on my face, so I’m going to sleep for a while.
“I know it’s rude, but may I ask for your clan name?”
It may sound like you want to know what level you are.
Jaejoo Kim also knew him, so he spoke carefully.
“This is Hanshin.”
Sewoon Lee revealed the clan name without hesitation.
Kim Jae-joo seemed to be in trouble for a while, but after a while he opened his mouth.
“It wouldn’t be any good if we talked for a long time here. I’ll just tell you the gist.”
Sewoon Lee stopped breathing and concentrated.
There was no high or low in Kim Jae-joo’s voice. So I had to figure it out in action.
He looked at his eyes and expression, but even the only face that was revealed didn’t change like a doll.
The only change was Kim Jae-joo’s mouth, which opened slowly.
“I want to join a clan.”
“yes?”
He gave strength to the shoulder that was falling out, but he couldn’t hide his dismayed voice.
“Isn’t it?”
“It’s not…”
I was speechless at the unexpected remark.
Naturally, I thought he was a member of the clan, and I thought of a coercive request, but the wrong words came out.
“Are you not a member of a clan?”
“Now. I was framed in the original place.”
“What name are you?”
“I will explain later.”
Sewoon Lee nodded slowly, needing time to think.
‘Suspicious.’
Either way, it’s a risky request.
It was the feeling of having to accept a time bomb that could explode when.
Even so, the words “No” could not come out of my mouth.
In my head, I was constantly reminded of the miserable interior of the temple, literally torn apart.
Although Lee Se-woon did not speak for a long time, Kim Jae-joo was not urged.
just stare
‘Damn it.’
That was more difficult.
“Then let’s do this. It will be decided after meeting with the clan leader.”
Kim Jae-joo readily accepted Lee Se-woon’s proposal.
“thank you. I will repay the favor. Either way.”
Kim Jae-joo’s dignified attitude made Lee Se-woon feel that he was worthy enough to take on an adventure.
Most importantly, the intuition that made him survive in the tower was speaking.
to accept this transaction.
In front of the portal on the 10th floor.
It was quiet in front of the castle gate just before noon.
There were two men who scrutinized the small groups of users who occasionally came out of the portal.
When the person who came out was wearing a robe and a hood around, the act of checking their face even after asking for permission was suspicious.
“Excuse me.”
Leaving behind the anxious-looking user, the two men stepped back again.
The two belong to a clan they know.
Hippocrit clan 5th generation.
The first group was established on the 30th floor, and the influence that spread like the root of a tree reached up to the 10th floor.
Considering that most of the starting locations of the powerful are on high floors, being able to move users on the 10th floor, albeit clumsily, was amazing.
Users who joined the clan were well aware of that fact.
It is common for them to grumble thinking about the future with a solid road ahead, but now they are consistent with their fixed posture and hardened expression.
– Don’t relax.
It was because the broadcast that had been neglected and died a long time ago was turned on.
At the sudden instruction of the clan leader, two viewers were attached, one for each person.
“yep.”
“All right.”
All I could tell was that they were users on the 50th floor or higher belonging to Hippocrit.
That fact alone made me unable to think of anything else.
The Hippocratic clan was created with the intention of devouring the tower, and it was clear that the clan members watching them would sit down without leaving the tower.
That said, there is a high chance that we will meet face to face someday.
– Isn’t it twisted?
“Oh no!”
– I know you’re excited that you’ve just arrived. come to your senses
“Yes!”
It was a terrible feeling watching a senior who was not discharged from military service.
Rather, I felt fortunate to have a large number of people coming out of the portal now.
This is because there were several users who hid their faces with robes behind them.
“Please stop for a moment.”
Neither of them came first, and quickly approached them.
“What?”
The middle-aged man at the forefront had a reluctant expression on his face.
The ordeal was hard, and his face was full of tiredness.
“This is the Hippocratic clan. I have something to check for a while, so please cooperate.”
“Are you very lazy these days? Hold on to the tired people and start with the clan name.”
The two men rolled their heads with a finite expression as much as possible at the uncomfortable look of the middle-aged man.
He raised the corners of his lips, which he usually only used when laughing and flattering.
‘You must have come from the 16th floor.’
Since 30 people came out at once, they must belong to the same clan.
Just like before, it doesn’t work if you just stick with the clan name, so it must mean that you put some strength on your shoulders.
However, there were no particularly striking faces, so it must have been a recently created place.
“Haha, sorry. I am Han Gyu-seok, and this is Lee Chul-min.”
“This is Sewoon Lee.”
The two explained the situation while laughing at the blunt words of a middle-aged man.
“So, you mean that there is a bastard of criminals who ran away from your clan, so we need to check it out?”
Sewoon’s eyes widened.
Rather than being surprised, it was an expression of realization.
“yes.”
Han Gyu-seok and Lee Cheol-min relaxed.
Seeing Lee Se-woon’s round eyes, they knew that their lies were true.
“Don’t you know that believing only what they say and obeying them is a loss of face? To be honest, I don’t like being held captive like this.”
Sewoon Lee glanced at the users passing by, chatting.
The response returned was unexpected.
“You know. There is no broadcast recording function, so it is difficult to find evidence in this case. We just need to show our faces to see if there is anyone we are looking for.”
The answer prepared just in case flowed out of Han Gyu-seok’s mouth.
“Everyone belongs to our clan. There are no criminals looking there.”
“still······.”
“I said no, are you going to try it?”
Sewoon’s attitude was firm.
“················ogue.”
“················ogue.”
Han Gyu-seok and Lee Cheol-min kept their mouths shut like honey-eaten idiots.
If the story leaked in this way, it was clear that the rumors would spread even on the 20th floor or higher.
It’s like saying, ‘The Hippocratic Clan is getting more and more Yunan’.
Cold sweat formed on their foreheads as they intuited that something insignificant was getting bigger.
Gyu-seok Han glanced at the chat window.
‘What can I say or say!’
Did the frustration work out?
A chat window pops up.
– It’s important, so you have to check it. Call me about 50,000 coins to give you a reward
Han Gyu-seok was grateful for chatting casually calling about 50,000 coins.
Sending praise to the clan member who seemed to have given me an answer to the damn situation and that it was not that big of a deal.
He quickly approached Lee Se-woon and suggested in a soft voice.
Of course, I expected that Sewoon Lee would be surprised and lay down with his mouth open and spread his stomach.
“You sound funny.”
The reply that came back was cold.
“Do you think we looked like hogu for a while?”
“yes. yes?”
“It’s about whether Hanshin is funny. Even if I give you 500,000 coins, I will listen or not, but what? 5 million? Aren’t you going to turn off, you bastard?”
Han Gyu-seok and Lee Cheol-min quickly exchanged glances.
They both had bewildered expressions on their faces, so they said they had never heard of it.
Their heads quickly turned to the chat window.
Before even looking at him, Gyu-Seok Han’s chat window was showing a new message.
– get out
Chul-min Lee’s chat window.
– Apologize and leave
It was the same reaction.
If they didn’t know and they knew, the answer was obvious.
The new clan is right, but it didn’t start here.
That it is a place with enough power that Hippocrites noticed.
When the two realized that, their eyes suddenly trembled.
“Actually, there were a lot of mistakes.”
He hurriedly bowed his back and quickly fell away from the portal.
Still, the glances at the users who appeared occasionally seemed to be looking at a broken machine.
Sewoon Lee sighed in response to that stupid move and spoke softly.
“let’s go.”
Jaejoo Kim and Sewoon Lee made a simple appointment and parted ways.
“Thank you for your help.”
At the words of Jaejoo Kim, Sewoon Lee shook his head.
“It was nothing. Rather, we were helped. Because I ate the rewards of difficulty 60 or higher raw.”
“I did it because I needed it, so you don’t have to feel burdened.”
Sewoon’s eyes lit up.
When I say it was necessary, I mean that everything was intentionally staged on the 16th floor.
The brain, which was only now running, was whispering that the guess would be correct.
“I think you will get along well with the clan leader. Then see you tomorrow.”
“yes. I will go to the address you gave me.”
– What? what’s the situation?
-Who’s aiming at Jaejoo Kim now?
-Jaejae, trust only hyung, if you come to know the name of the clan, I will break the whole pot.
– Did you just come? Are you Hippocrites?
-I’m going to break the pot now.
– bluff haha

“it’s okay. Thank you for caring me.”
Jaejoo Kim was concerned about something else.
‘I’m going to meet Hanshin here.’
Hanshin (嫺兟).
If the Hippocratic clan aims to settle in the tower, Hanshin has the opposite tendency.
The first goal is to put the safety of users first, and to get out of the tower as soon as possible.
‘It was around this time that I reached the 10th floor.’
Jaejoo Kim vaguely knew that Hanshin was increasing the scale, but did not know that it would affect the 10th floor already.
‘It would be nice to share some greetings.’
I had no intention of joining a clan.
Because the clan was only a shackle to Jaejoo Kim now.
It was best to break through the 20th floor quickly.
However, Hanshin’s name was too heavy to just ignore it and go, so I thought about showing off his face.
If he was the 10th floor clan leader, he would be a candidate for a future executive.
‘Maybe I can get help later.’
The clan that Jaejoo Kim considered the worst was the Hippocrit clan.
Because it was a place where users were used like machine parts by any means.
One of the thoughts of modernizing the tower.
‘Lee Sewoon’s helping me must have had a big impact.’
The enemy of the enemy can be a friend.
Jaejoo Kim had no intention of throwing away the cards that came in.
He circled the alley and got a room in a hotel on the corner of User Street.
This is because the watchers were also in places other than the entrance.
This is because there were people who looked at the faces of people around them in a pair of two or lifted up their robes.
The Beast Auction House where the Beast Hunter is located, and in front of the user’s street. It was seen in two places.
Perhaps it was because Popoi revealed his existence in the broadcast.
‘For the time being, the popoi must hide.’
After entering the room, Jaejoo Kim put down his backpack and finished taking a shower and eating.
-But why does Hanshin suddenly come out?
-Hanshin crazy bastards haha They’re terraforming even on the 10th floor
– Calm down, folks; They don’t have bad intentions though.
– Well, compared to the hip bastards
-What else is hip jjil?
-yep
– It’s special;
Jaejoo Kim realized while looking at the chat window that came up confusingly in the meantime.
How many floors do viewers live on?
‘Is it almost 30th floor or higher?’
The Hanshin Clan did not have a good image from the start.
In order to seize the arbitrary users, force was needed rather than dialogue.
There was a time when there was a strong backlash from users on the 30th floor due to the radical method.
-But why is this room so disliked by Hanshin?
-Are you on the 20th floor?
– How did you know;
Most of the viewers who are reacting violently in Kim Jae-joo’s chat window now mean that they know the dark side of Hanshin.
‘Why did you watch my broadcast?’
When high-level users come to watch the broadcast on the first floor, it means that there is something wrong.
– But did you like Sewoon Lee?
-Really; If someone like that lends you money, you’ll pay it back right away.
– ㅋㅋ I lent 6 million won to a friend of 10 years, but I’m a diver ㅠㅠ
-I paid a friend’s fee for 10 years in arrears ㅠㅠ
– Bad bastard.
-Bee friend.
-I was 300 for 5 years, but I lost contact. Is 60 million won a year a national rule?
“················ogue.”
– Look at Kim Jae-joo’s steaming haha.
-You know what, we paid in advance for a friend’s fee, right? (frown)
– Forced friend
“Ah yes.”
Even if you ask me outright, I didn’t think I’d be honest.
‘You’ll find out later.’
Jaejoo Kim finally sighed and opened the backpack.
Then, the Popois sticking their heads out as much as they can, one, two, three, whether they thought it was safe.
They all jumped out.
“Popoi!”
Even though he had been in the backpack for quite some time, looking around Kim Jae-joo, it didn’t seem like it was hard.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
Kim Jae-joo took out the stones he had picked up on the way and gave it to the popoes.
“Popoi!”
Cordin approached the fastest and grabbed the stone.
Verin rolled the stone and looked around, then gnawing at it.
Finally, Raha rolled a stone with her tongue and pushed it out at the feet of Jaejoo Kim, who was sitting there.
“it’s okay. I ate.”
When Jaejoo said it was okay and shook his head, Raha stared at Jaejoo with bright eyes.
“Popoi!”
As soon as he knew it, he began to chew on the stone.
Jaejoo Kim gently stroked Raha.
The soft feel of the rustling fur passed between his fingers.
‘I have to go to the workshop first.’
The top priority in the present situation was the restoration of mechanical armor.
-But these days, chatting with dirty seats is rare?
-When Popoi came out, he wasn’t the only one who said one word at a time.
– It’s there every time I come, so I can’t see it all of a sudden, so it’s empty.
-uh? Not on the viewers list?
-Eh? did you go to sleep
– Didn’t you turn on the broadcast even when you were sleeping? haha
