A Transmigrator’s Privilege
Chapter 334
[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ is shocked by the crazy content consumption rate.]
[‘Balance-Adjusting Critic’ habitually tried to argue for nerfs, then came to his senses and praised you.]
[‘World-Building Words’ looks at you with pleased eyes and applauds.]
[‘Eyes that Watch Over All Chaos’ blinks rapidly in support.]
The enthusiastic response wasn’t limited to the gods’ messages.
“Wow! Max-level newbie conquers 100th floor!”
“As expected of a max-level newbie! I believed in you!”
“Kiya, I relayed the situation to the general chat, and the response was no joke.”
“The kids trapped upstairs are going crazy asking when the max-level newbie will come.”
“Sister! Fighting to conquer the 300th floor!”
“Let’s go before the Heumsungwan! Max-level newbies can do it!”
It seems like he’s as enthusiastic as when he saved the Serentra ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Continent.
I roughly looted the items dropped by the 100th floor boss of the Tower of Trials, ‘Crazy Raging Harpy’, and went up to the next floor.
I heard a cheering shout from behind me.
“Be careful, sis! The difficulty level increases significantly from the 101st floor!”
“Hey, doesn’t that person know that? You can tell he’s a veteran.”
“Huh, you’re a newbie?”
“No, you’re not?!”
“There are people who naively believe that.”
“There’s a rumor that the second time you’re a top player, you’re a kill hill. And among veterans, there are those who pretend to be newbies and play around.”
“That’s right. We just play along to make it feel good.”
“Well, I saw Kill Hill ask questions about Jang Byun Kwon before and pretended to be a newbie.......”
“He doesn’t seem to be a newbie.”
“Yeah. It seems like a spectator.”
... ... I can hear you all, you possessed beings.
[‘World-building Word Spirit’ says that since the second climb is a special case, it would be best to hide your identity for now.]
I started to act like a veteran who didn’t have a fortune. Suddenly, I felt a sense of doubt.
The possessed beings’ argument continued regardless of whether I did or not.
“You could really be a max-level newbie.”
“I said you’re a veteran.”
“Just in case....... Hey! The actual environment is created starting from the 101st floor! And they say the volcano is erupting right now and everyone is busy evacuating, so max-level newbies, be careful!”
“......Thank you for the good information.”
I bowed and took a step up the stairs to the upper floor.
Someone provoked me from behind.
“Childcare is so cool!”
“......!”
I almost reacted instinctively. But if you look back here, you lose.
At this moment, I controlled myself with self-control that rivaled Tesilid’s and climbed the stairs as if nothing had happened.
“You’re not reacting?”
“Isn’t that a killer heel?”
“It might be because the voice is thick and male, so it might not have attracted aggro.”
“Let’s trust the daughter of the constellation.”
The murmurings that seemed to be plotting a conspiracy faded behind me. I took a deep breath and climbed the stone stairs.
“Huh?”
When I turned the landing, something caught my eye.
There was a rest area with a view of the fields between the 100th and 101st floors. It wasn’t there the first time I climbed.
[He says that it’s the SS-class Possessor’s Lounge that the ‘World-Building Spirit’ has set up for you.]
“Oh! Thank you!”
Then I couldn’t just go without resting. Besides, I had something to do.
I sat on the couch and called up the system menu.
“Cash shop for the Iceman.”
I decided to farm items that would increase my combat efficiency.
You might not need them now, but once you pass floor 200, spec ups will become meaningful.
So if you’re going to buy them, you better buy them quickly.
[<Product> ‘Soul Pet (Trial Tower Exclusive)’
Adopt a pet, ‘Soul Pet’, that will help you in the Trial Tower.
Price: 1,000,000 Cash (Unlimited Purchases)]
“Buy.”
Just one.
[‘Creative Economy Manager’ urges bulk purchases, saying that 10 years should be the default.]
[‘Balance-Adjusting Critic’ wonders why he doesn’t take out compensation and instead buys it himself.]
“One is enough. And the gods are out of their minds right now. This is not the time to bargain over this issue.”
So instead of now, later, calculate the consumed cash and take out a lot of compensation... ... .
[‘World-Building Words’ is moved by your deep faith.]
... ... Let’s stop. A million cash isn’t a lot of money to me.
Soon, eggs in a basket appeared in front of me. The colorful eggs, like Easter eggs, began hatching, emitting a brilliant rainbow beam.
And finally, the small animal that was born... ... .
“Oh! Flying Squirrel!”
I wasn’t expecting it, but I picked out the pet I wanted.
A cute rodent with glossy white fur. Its black eyes sparkled gently at me and its strawberry-colored nose sniffed cutely.
Then it soon climbed onto my hand. The soft touch and warm body temperature of the small animal settled on my palm. I almost held my breath because of its loveliness.
‘Ears, so cute!’
The flying squirrel climbed up my arm to my shoulder and curled up and settled down. I guess this is how we go together.
[<Other> Soul Pet Flying Squirrel
A companion that will enhance your combat abilities only in the Tower of Trials.
It moves with artificial intelligence, but sometimes it has real intelligence. Let’s have a chat.]
“Hello?”
The flying squirrel gently touched my cheek with its small nose as if greeting me.
Ah, it’s really cute.
I carefully placed my index finger on the flying squirrel.
I gently stroked his head with my fingertips, and he closed his eyes tightly, feeling good.
[‘The Eyes That Watch Over the Chaos of All Creation’ asks, tremblingly, if that’s cute.]
[‘The Cynical Man Who Balances Things’ turns around and giggles.]
[‘The Words That Build the World’ trembles with inexplicable jealousy.]
[‘The Architect of the Skyscraper of Trials’ secretly enjoys it.]
Are you hungry? There should be nuts in my inventory.
“Want some walnuts?”
[‘World-building Word Spirit’ says that all you need to do is feed it mealworms.]
[‘Balance-adjusting Tongue-wielder’ chimes in, saying that it should be fed with wriggling, living mealworms.]
[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ urgently shouts that it doesn’t need to eat anything!]
Unfortunately, there were no mealworms in my inventory.
I guess I’ll have to give it a name.
“Let’s go, Cotton Ball!”
[‘Balance-adjusting Tongue-wielder’ bursts into laughter at the intuitive and insincere naming.]
[‘World-building Word Spirit’ snickers, saying that it’s an overly cute name.]
[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ doesn’t really like it because it lacks dignity, but I’ll accept it.]
Is it because of my mood? The gods, especially the architect, have been giving me strange messages since a while ago.
Well, it’s not that important, and I’m busy using my body more than my head right now. I cleared my mind and climbed the stairs.
That's how I arrived at the 101st floor of the Tower of Trials.
Kwakwakwakwang! Boom! Kwareung!
An active volcano erupting loudly greeted me.
"Hmm, the boss here was a magma golem in the volcanic zone. How's the path?"
Meanwhile, the possessed beings were busy running away from the flying fireballs.
"Eww! Everyone, get out of the way!"
"Ugh. Max-level newbies, come quickly!"
I walked toward the volcano in the direction they were escaping.
And as a side note, I also deployed a water barrier over the possessed beings' heads.
"Huh? What's going on? The volcanic ash hasn't been flying since a while ago..."
"Wait, over there. That guy, by any chance..."
The system map showed the shortest path to the boss zone. I slowly increased my leg speed.
I ran forward, using my skills to create a path if there was none.
I soon arrived at the mountainside where the lava valley flowed.
[The ‘Architect of the Skyscraper of Trials’ is panting, complaining of the heat.]
I turned my head slightly and glanced at the cotton ball hanging on my left shoulder.
The cute flying squirrel was breathing through its mouth instead of its nose because it was so hot.
Hmm, I think it’s clear at this point.
“Protection.”
I wrapped my entire body in a skill to avoid the heat.
The flying squirrel, who was in close contact with me, naturally entered the area of heat dissipation.
[The ‘Architect of the Skyscraper of Trials’ feels comfortable.]
I supported the flying squirrel’s body that seemed about to fall off my shoulder, patted its back and butt, and then urged it on again.
That was when.
“Whew! Save me!”
“......!”
I turned my gaze to where the scream came from.
A miner, or rather, a possessed person, was surrounded by small golems and was in danger of losing his life.
I was preparing to pull a bolt from the sky to save him.
The desperate scream of the black-haired young man struck a chord in my heart, and I found myself listening.
“Not now, but later! I told you to die later! Just wait until I buy the regression artifact...... Ugh! This is not how I planned to meet my favorite character again!”
Of course, the golems would not tolerate such circumstances.
The moment the golems, who had curled up into a ball and turned into a boulder, tried to crush the possessed person.
“Divine punishment.”
The lightning that poured down in response to my call turned the boulders into gravel.
“I, I survived....... Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.”
The black-haired young man with a face as if he was about to cry repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
I stared at him for a while and then carefully opened my mouth.
“By any chance... Masuyori?”
“Huh?”
Judging from his reaction, it was true.
“I, do you know me?”
Masuyori asked me my identity with sparkling green eyes.
Before I could feel embarrassed, a revelation from God came.
[“The World-Building Spirit” said that since we were friends, it would be okay to reveal our identity.]
However, Masuyori had a better sense than I thought.
“Could it be... Kill Hill Noona?”
Instead of saying yes, I smiled and gave a belated greeting.
“Nice to meet you, Mayoya. Did you earn a lot of money to buy Jang Byun Kwon?”
