Ch 9
Episode 8 – Somehow, Like This
– No, even if you say you’re lucky that you’re strong.
– Did you know that the turtle dragon’s thorns were exploding and put them in your head?
-What is the importance of that? I like it because our talents are hot.
“It’s not a big deal.”
He spat bloody spit on the floor. He frowned at the strangely rising taste of iron and approached the popoes.
-Jaejoo Kim Personal: Turtle Dragon is nothing to me
– Hahaha, that’s really creepy.
– Please explain. What were you thinking?
“I think it’s worth it. So we fought.”
– Is this a giraffe?
-I have nothing to say because I’m so proud.
‘Audiences aren’t the ones who watch the show while crouching down on me.’
In general, the average number of viewers on the second floor is difficult to exceed 100 at most. It’s because it’s still in the early stages, so viewers aren’t paying much attention.
[Current number of viewers: 198]
[Number of following: 117]
[Holding Coins: 201]
The number of viewers and followers was proving it.
‘Because of the unusual difficulty and the unusual way I clear it.’
He said he wasn’t wrong.
– I’m suspicious of something.
-Didn’t the manager give you a preference?
-Preference is a bitch haha Did you just come?
-You didn’t see 3 popois coming out on the first floor.
– You also have a one-on-one match with the Turtle Dragon on the 2nd floor as a favor?
-Look, you close your mouth right away.
Instead of leaving, the audience gradually increased.
“Popoi!”
As he approached, the popoes came near and looked at Jaejoo Kim and the turtle dragon alternately with their bright eyes.
– You seem to be asking if I can eat it?
– It’s so cute just looking at it like this.
-If those kids open their mouths later with a truck lol
– hey hey
“eat.”
The monsters in the tower basically have magical powers inside their bodies.
For a guy about the size of a turtle dragon, the shell itself must be a mass of magic.
“Popoi!”
As soon as Kim Jae-joo finished speaking, the popoes ran into their shells and began to chew the thorns.
-Are you doing that after listening to Jaejoo Kim?
-Is it normal if I feel like vomiting every time I open my mouth?
-extremely normal
‘Let’s go quickly. It’s still on the second floor, so there’s no need to wander here.’
We took too much time on the 1st and 2nd floors than expected.
On average, the 3rd or 4th floor or really fast streamers could be experiencing the ordeal of changing jobs on the 5th floor.
The higher the lead, the higher the broadcast exposure, so there was nothing good about being late.
“I’ll check the reward.”
-go go
-After seeing the hiccups on the first floor, I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.
-Really? When I saw the thing hanging around my neck, I wondered if it was a real cataract?
– Haha, but that’s what Popoi found out.
[Reward Arrival]
[Hidden Reward Arrival]
[Following 100 Reward Arrival]
There were three reward notifications floating in the settings window.
– Whoa. 3 Reward: Look at something beautiful
-I’m watching this show for this taste
-whhh
-Are you already 100 followers? it’s gone;
First, when I clicked the arrival of the reward, the box fell just like the first floor.
-Is it Christmas?
– I really can’t get used to the bright colors.
After opening the box, there are 3 contents in total.
Coin pocket, small backpack, shiny stones.
-Why do stones keep coming out? Isn’t it junk?
– But I think I’ve seen it a lot.
[500 Coin Pouch]
[Class: Normal]
[It is automatically converted into coins when acquired.]
As expected, when I checked the information, the coin pocket melted.
Then a small backpack.
[Subspace Backpack]
[Class: Rare]
[The invention of the genius mage engineer Rock Peace. Limit weight: 500kg]
‘Not bad.’
– oh lucky
-uh? that’s my time I tore my clothes and wrapped them up and went upstairs, but what?
– Something good came out lol
– About 500 kg is usable
If you’re lucky on the difficulty level, it’s an item that appears at the beginning, so the viewers’ reaction was also normal.
Finally, the shining stone.
‘It must be a magic stone, how do I do it?’
It’s a useless item right now. I don’t know if it’s used for coin earning on the 10th floor or making magic-related items.
I ate the magic stone on the first floor and gained strength, so I thought about eating it myself, but put it on hold for now.
Each mana stone also has its own properties, so if you eat it blindly, you may be in danger.
“I’ll check the hidden reward.”
After putting the magic stone in his pants pocket into the subspace backpack, he pressed the hidden reward window.
– Gazah
– open quickly
– pounding
tuk.
This time, a stone the size of a fist fell to the floor without any other pavement.
The peculiar thing is that similar characters to those on the second-floor wall are engraved.
-Look at your disrespect.
– Whoever sees it will know that it is a beggar.
Picking up the stone, I immediately checked the information.
[Rune of Rank Up]
[Rank: Hero]
[A rune that raises the quality level of an item by one level. However, it cannot be raised to a higher level than the rune level.]
-Wow. is it honey?
-It’s worth breaking the hidden reward lol
‘It would be a waste to write now.’
The only limit is the grade, so if a good item appears later, it would be better to use it there.
-Let’s put it on the ax right now
-Look at the 250-coin bar and the 20,000-coin bar.
– Where’s your conscience?
– I think some spies are hiding now.
“I’ll write later.”
He simply dismissed it and put the runes in his backpack.
“This is the last time.”
All that’s left is the following reward.
-Is the following reward fixed?
-yep
– Hurry up and go to the third floor
– ㅇㅇ Kim Jaejoo Seeing you bleed, I’m going to fall down here
When I clicked the following reward, a message window popped up unlike the previous reward.
[Congratulations on reaching 100 following. I applaud your potential and congratulate you.]
[You can choose one of the following blessings.]
[Blessing of Health]
[Blessing of Power]
[Blessing of Agility]
[Magic Blessing]
[Lucky Blessing]
-This is invincible stamina
– What are you talking about?
-Agility isn’t bad when you look at fighting talent.
-No The top is all about tempera. good luck
Opinions in the chat window were divided.
Blessing is a kind of passive skill, and related stats are greatly improved.
Whatever you choose is fine, but magic is a stat related to wizards and magic engineering.
In the beginning, it was rather useless, so it was not mentioned much in the chat window.
“This would be nice.”
Jaejoo Kim reached out and picked the blessing of magic.
[Do you want to choose? Y/N]
– not; That’s dog shit.
– Thinking about it, it was just a couple.
-If you’re going to be a wizard, throw it away! right now!
-S…T….A…..Y
-Aren’t magicians or magicians full of magic anyway?
-The only trap card is thrown away;
“I have good magic.”
Jaejoo Kim pressed Y without hesitation.
– Oh, I messed up.
– This shhh I’m so scared
He didn’t choose it without thinking.
‘The answer is magic engineering.’
He was thinking of choosing Magic Engineering on the 5th floor.
Unlike wizards and knights who show strong power from the beginning, magician engineer is a profession full of difficulties from the beginning.
Even if you study hard, there are limited places where you can use it, so there are many people who regret it after making a choice.
So, the perception of general users is considered as a non-combatant or rear-assistant.
‘That’s just the beginning.’
He still vividly remembers the activity of a user in the video on the 50th floor.
‘It was the beginning of combat magic engineering.’
Reynolds.
American engineering genius.
His mouth widened as he watched the monsters being swept away by the satellite energy cannons he had created.
‘It’s unreasonable for me to make it myself, but it won’t be difficult to follow if you just lay the basics down.’
Jaejoo Kim knew his subject.
Even if he wakes up dead with his head, he won’t be able to develop a weapon like Reynold’s, but it was possible if he tried hard to imitate him.
‘The only downside is that it consumes an enormous amount of mana.’
So, without hesitation, I chose the blessing of magic.
– Even if I say it now, I don’t think I understand
-There’s no use in regretting later.
-Well, if you go to the 5th floor and choose a wizard, it will be useful.
[The blessing of magical power rests on you.]
“Popoi!”
As if they had already finished eating, they rushed back to Jaejoo Kim and got on the body.
The turtle dragon’s shell disappeared, revealing its pitiful flesh.
-ㅗtㅑ
-Suddenly a friend lol
– This is the first time a turtle dragon has looked so pitiful.
“Then let’s go. I’m getting dizzy.”
His head was spinning as if the blood shed from the battle was excessive.
-If you go to the next floor, the wound will heal, so let’s go quickly.
-go go
Jaejoo Kim hurriedly moved and entered the portal created on the wall.
The third floor was a barren, flat ground with nothing that stood out except for a large temple.
What is unusual is that a large human-shaped stone statue guards the entrance.
“I think I’ll live a little now.”
-LOL
– Was it because he was insane on the second floor?
-No It was a concept up to the first floor, and it came out of my heart from the second floor haha
– That’s
As soon as I entered the 3rd floor, Jaejoo Kim’s wounds were washed away.
[The 3rd floor trial begins.]
[This is the Temple of the Forgotten Old God. Guardians who have been dormant for a long time will test you.]
[Win the battle with the Guardian.]
[Time remaining until battle starts: 09:53]
[Be careful. If you leave the temple of the Old Gods, you will be trapped on the 3rd floor.]
– The details of the ordeal are starting to become more detailed.
-It is used to filter up to the second floor.
– Did you wake up? I can’t admit this feeling?
-The 3rd floor is the real thing
‘There is no big change in the view of the third floor.’
This time, I was worried about what kind of hardship it would cause, but apparently there was no difference from the video.
‘That’s right…’
Through Kim Jae-joo’s thoughts, he heard the sound of a portal opening next to him.
“Oh cloud hyung! Thank you for the 10 coin support.”
The identity of the voice is another streamer.
He was a young man with sports hair, who looked to be in his early 20s.
“ah.”
The man also noticed Kim Jae-joo and approached him with round eyes.
“Hey, how are you?”
The man approached with careful steps and put his hand on it.
Judging by the tattered armor and cracked weapons, it looks like they came from a fierce battle.
“hello.”
Jaejoo Kim held hands in a calm voice.
“Human, are you a streamer?”
“you’re right.”
“Hey, sir.”
The man’s eyes widened and he sniffled.
“Sin, I’m sorry. I’m out of business.”
“it’s okay.”
-okay. Is that kind of reaction normal?
-Isn’t Jaejoo Kim a real robot?
-it’s okay? A lot of people were surprised, right?
As a man, he was suddenly dragged into the tower and confused.
When I came to the tower, I saw people for the first time, so my tension was relieved and I almost burst into tears.
“What’s your name?”
Jaejoo Kim put his hand down with an awkward expression and asked a question.
“My name is Ha Yeon-seok.”
“I’m Jaejoo Kim.”
“Yes. Yes. Nice to meet you. Jaejoo.”
– You don’t laugh when you hear your name?
– If it were you, would you laugh at that situation?
– It’s like Go Gun.
As time passed, Ha Yeon-seok, as if calming down, nodded while talking with the viewers, and his eyes widened.
“Popoi?”
Then, with a blank expression, he turned his head to look at Jaejoo Kim.
“Excuse me over there, but by any chance, those who rode on their shoulders and heads are called Popo, is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The viewers are upset. Why is Popoi there?”
“I happened to be like this on the first floor.”
– How come it’s like this?
-Kim Jae-joo Black History hahaha
-But even if you’re like me, I can’t say that I became friends with Popo just because I was on the first floor.
-lol
“Then maybe…”
Ha Yeon-seok’s words did not continue to the end.
Kugugugu Palace.
It was because the sleeping stone statue was waking up by scattering stone dust.
“We’ll talk later.”
Jaejoo Kim swung the ax lightly.
‘The third floor is a two-person cooperative ordeal, so is the difficulty the same?’
Then he had nothing to fuss about.
‘If it’s a guardian’s weakness, it’s obvious.’
Jaejoo Kim ran to the statue without hesitation.
