Ch 81
Episode 80 – Nangjungjichu (囊中之錐).
“Would you like me to write a letter of recommendation?”
Palaham glanced at Shin Se-joon with distasteful eyes.
Shin Se-joon bowed his head shaking trembling as their eyes met, and Palaham’s forehead narrowed.
“yes.”
“The reason is?”
“I need it. You need to be at the level of a centurion or higher.”
Palaham pondered for a moment, then grinned and turned his head to the side.
“Leto.”
“······yes.”
“Write it down.”
“yes?”
“Are you going to turn down Rachanta’s request?”
“······All right.”
Palaham took a parchment and a quill from the master bedroom and handed it to Leto.
Leto looked at Shin Se-joon, who had a look of reluctantly accepting anyone who saw him.
“name.”
“Yes Yes?”
“What is your name?”
“My name is Shin Se-jun.”
“It’s an odd name.”
Leto gave strength to his hand and started to wave the quill.
“ruler.”
“Gam, thank you!”
“I have nothing to be thankful for. Say thanks to the person next to you.”
At those words, Shin Se-joon glanced at Kim Jae-joo and smiled awkwardly when Kim Jae-joo shook his head.
Shin Se-jun’s expression in the front yard was brighter.
“First, look for buildings related to magic engineering.”
“yes. Thank you. I will look for it right away.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
“Yes Yes! I will come with good results.”
So Shin Se-joon left the road with footsteps that seemed to fly.
– Reynolds?
– What is that? are you eating?
-Oppa, do you have any other woman besides me?
– At the end, you forgot.
– Oh, ooh;
While watching Shin Se-joon getting farther away, viewers expressed their doubts.
“It’s a man.”
And he is a genius in magic engineering.
I definitely remember that he was on the same floor as Jaejoo Kim now.
We could have met earlier if we were lucky, but Jaejoo Kim doesn’t trust luck.
– So who is it?
“Someone who can help me.”
If it was Reynolds, it would definitely be a big help.
Not just gloves, but more than that.
-haha.
-Are you really from the future?
-Kingly’s God Sim on
– I guess I was right. 5252 Jaejoo-kun! Was it “Regressor”? I believed it!
– What can you say, you idiot;
The audience was in an atmosphere of skepticism.
‘It would be difficult to even think of a video.’
There were some misunderstandings.
It was best for him to let the viewers decide for themselves.
It was too risky to tell the truth.
Conversely, I couldn’t do anything because I was in a hurry to hide it.
-But I don’t care if Jaejoo Kim is a regressor
– I have a question?
-Actually, at first, I saw Jaejoo Kim because he was more special than the other kids. Now I just want to cheer
-No?
-What are you talking about, if it wasn’t the root, I unfollowed you earlier.
-ㅆㅇ
-Look at how ferocious popoi moms are; Without Kim Jaejoo, Popoi wouldn’t exist.
-Push the top of our talent ㅠㅠ Put the manager in it ㅠㅠ
– Everyone, calm down; I’m still only on the 20th floor.
– So haha What should I do now?
“You have to prepare.”
according to the audience
We’ve only just reached the 20th floor.
The kid just took off his shirt, but it’s too early to show up.
‘Can Shin Se-joon find Reynolds?’
Shin Se-jun.
When he reached the 50th floor, he did not climb the tower to climb, but was a detective.
He said that he did not want to leave the tower due to circumstances, but the reason was not in the video.
‘By the way, I can’t see Mr. Park Jung-soo.’
Park Jung-soo, who was a knight, came forward and took charge of the body work, and Shin Se-joon moved from the back, so they got along well with each other, but Park Jung-soo was nowhere to be seen.
‘Have we not met yet?’
Jaejoo Kim closed his eyes and wandered through the vast sea of memories.
The voices of the noisy drinkers and the smell of alcohol soaking the air came to mind.
Shin Se-joon smashed the glass on the table and said in a drunken voice.
“When did you and this bastard first meet? don’t talk On the 10th floor, I beg you to save me, and cry-”
“Are you drunk?”
Jaejoo Kim’s eyes opened.
Shin Se-jun and Park Jung-soo obviously met on the 10th floor.
‘What happened?’
– Hey, hey, what do you think?
“…just. It reminds me of someone who likes to drink.”
– Hahahaha action!
-I’m not very good at it– I still remember when I was working part-time at a restaurant before I came to the tower, the drunken customer made a fuss while talking nonsense. I said it was like a daughter
-OMG; Did you just take note?
– When I check out, they give me 100,000 won, so I said, ‘Goodbye. Daddy was like
– He really looked like a daughter, so he gave me pocket money.
– Is it a monster born of capitalism?
– I’ll give birth to you ㅇㅇ;
-Ah haha So you’re really trying to help Shin Se-joon or Messi?
“yes.”
I had to help myself.
It’s a later date, but the two of them made their name known like that, because they went under Han Seong-min and reached their peak.
Not only the Hippocratic Clan, but even the crazy people on the 80th and 90th floors were talking about it.
‘Even if that’s not the case…’
They are people who got along well with Jaejoo Kim.
We became close enough to be willing to help if we were in trouble, and we were able to talk to each other and become mentally reliant on each other.
Even if they didn’t remember themselves now, they couldn’t let it go.
‘Should I try?’
Kim Jae-joo, who came out of the brief impression, took a deep breath.
Jaejoo Kim has a lesson he learned when he decided to come to the tower.
No matter what happens, it’s good to start with what you can do.
It was the same when I came to the 15th floor.
Before that, Jaejoo Kim in the video was like that.
“Kim Jaejoo, you are really crazy. How did you get to the 90th floor by yourself?”
“You can do anything.”
His hands moved quickly.
[Holding Coins: 83508]
When I saw the coins piled up all of a sudden, my stomach was bloated.
I even felt like I was going to fly away if I didn’t use it quickly.
[Free Auction House]
[Please select an item.]
[1.Weapons 2.Armors 3.Materials 4.Consumables]
I went straight to the armor list and set the search term to rotonto.
There weren’t many for sale, but it was difficult to write, so I had almost one, so I thought I’d buy it as is.
But.
[Search Results: None.]
There were no items for sale.
A bree, a type of trousers, and a thong that secures everything, of course.
All of Rotonto’s items were not even visible.
– Was Rotonto so popular?
-No, there are many for sale on the 40th floor
– Guess who stocked up?
Jaejoo Kim quietly stared at the search results.
‘Hippocrit.’
That was most likely.
‘That’s the way it is…’
It is said that the information that he is using Rotonto’s items has been leaked.
It was kind of a warning message.
Knowing what you’re doing and watching you mean quietly surrender.
‘Is this because?’
Now I think I understand why Han Seong-min told me to go to the 20th floor.
He must also be busy adapting to the rapidly changing situation on the 20th floor, so it was clear that his control over information had been disrupted.
He must have decided that Kim Jae-joo had to be sent up quickly before Hippocrit could squeeze his breath any more.
The meaning of the warning was clear.
Hippocrit recognizes Jaejoo Kim as an enemy.
‘It’s fun.’
Jaejoo Kim was an awl in his pocket.
An awl with a sharp blade that rips through the pocket and can become a threat at any time.
Kim Jae-joo’s striking move would be offensive to others, and I expected that there would definitely be a check.
It was still only the 20th floor.
Hippocrit’s response was overkill.
That is enough to make the viewers hate it.
– This looks like a hip hop thing.
-If you don’t want to doubt it, you can’t do it haha
– Han Seong-min, aren’t you working?
– That’s second to none, it’s boring lol.
-Ah, I’m not sure if that’s the case, but I’m getting annoyed.
– What to do if you’re angry.
– I don’t go out because I’m bothered, huh? one time out?
– damn it
Viewers were still skeptical, but half-confident.
“it’s okay.”
– Not! I can’t buy a rotonto right now, aren’t you mad?
“yes.”
– shy;
It was really good.
After all, the rotonto is a preliminary book and an item that came by chance.
It wasn’t bad just being there, because there were other items that he was really concerned about.
[Search Result: Blood Stone]
[Number of registrations: 196]
Kim Jae-joo purchased a mid-to-lower blood flow stone considering the output and size of the glove.
Since magic engineering is not yet recognized, the price starts from 2,000 and goes up to 10,000 coins.
There was no proper price point.
Especially on the 20th floor, there were not enough people who could afford to be interested in magic engineering.
[Auction items arrive.]
As soon as he pressed the spear, bloodstone fell into his outstretched palm.
Soon after, he put down his backpack and took out his mechanical gloves.
As soon as the switch was pressed, the back of the glove’s hand opened, and the blood stone was placed on the mechanical glove with just the right size.
The mechanical armor sparkled in the magic circuit as if delighted, and shone clearly.
– Hey, geek, come to think of it, why don’t you give the machine gloves a name?
-mind! Have you forgotten what Mr. Cray said! Let love be love!
“What is your name?”
Obviously, Cray had said that on the 10th floor.
“Give me a name. No matter how wonderful and beautiful they may be, if they don’t have a name, they’re dead.”
‘Should I do that? Yes, it’s just a tool.’
While Jaejoo Kim was idly thinking about it for a while.
“Popoi!”
Attracted by the magical scent of the blood flow stone, the popoes raised their heads.
The popoi looked at the surrounding landscape for a moment, and then they stick their heads out.
“…Keeping.”
When he saw a dog with a familiar appearance, he jumped out.
“Laha, Cordin, Verin.”
“Popoi!”
The popoes began to circle around the mechanical glove Kim Jae-joo was holding.
“I’m not eating.”
“Popoi?”
Maybe they understood Kim Jae-joo’s words, but the popoes paused for a moment and stared at Kim Jae-joo.
“Popoi!”
He fluttered as if he knew it and ran to the dog.
The startled dog ran away and the chase began in an instant.
– Big lol
-Our Popois ㅠㅠ
“Popoi!”
The popoes quickly grabbed the dog with their fur and licked them as if grooming them.
‘·······The name.’
He sighed and got up.
He raised his hand, paused for a moment, and finally opened the auction house.
What I bought was a crafting tool.
It looked like a short flat-blade screwdriver and had a shiny tip.
– What are you going to do?
“I’m going to name it.”
When Jaejoo Kim infused magic into the tools, the blades began to shine blue.
He headed towards the mechanical glove he was holding in his right hand.
The iron powder came out shallowly along the hand, and the lettering was soon completed.
『Enian』
Enian, the god of victory.
These letters were engraved with the hope that her protection would be with them.
– Enia?
-I really like the name of God Kim Jaejoo haha
-ah. The name should have been basically ‘Popo-E MK-2’
– I like that.
-Popoi moms
Before engraving, I was reluctant, but when I engraved it, it felt not bad.
“I like it.”
– What if you are?
In the meantime, Popois all played with the dog and approached Kim Jae-joo.
“Did you all play?”
“Popoi!”
The popoes who jumped up with happy sounds as if they were satisfied.
“·······Popoi.”
Suddenly, he hid behind Kim Jae-joo.
“what’s the matter?”
The popoi now stared at one place, even silently.
Jaejoo Kim followed his gaze and turned his head to the outside fence.
There was a bird there.
A red-eyed bird sitting on the fence and staring at Jaejoo Kim.
hold on hold on hold on
It was a bird not seen in Tarha.
It was not a good environment for pigeons to live.
But Jaejoo Kim has seen such a bird in the tower.
“······manager?”
hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on
The howl of the pigeons grew louder as if sneering.
“…you still do.”
Jaejoo Kim put Enian in his right hand without hesitation.
Wii ing.
The magic circuit began to burn brightly.
