Chapter 41

Level 2 Player

Trouble (2)

‘One tanker, two dealers, one healer.’

This was the composition of the party that approached Jin-su currently.

‘It’s approachable.’

One close dealer and one archer, that was all the deal of that party.

‘Because firepower is insufficient, hunting efficiency won’t come out.’

Recruiting dealers, especially mages, was urgent. To the degree that even a summoner wouldn’t matter.

‘Anyway, even if there are two healers, there’s nothing bad.’

If there is more than one healer, it was rather good for increasing the party scale.

‘It probably isn’t a party with outstanding skill.’

Then they would have already replenished the insufficient personnel. Also, a skilled party carefully selects and receives players who want to join.

This was an all too natural thing as it is directly related to life.

Decisively, this city is a kind of beginner village where players who arrived at Floor 100 not long ago stay for a while before adapting and growing their skill.

Naturally, if the level rises to some extent and skill increases, they leave for the next city where there are higher-level monsters.

‘Simply speaking, it means these guys also have a high probability of being newcomers who arrived at Floor 100 at most a few months ago.’

They are just pretending to be veterans.

“Wouldn’t it be good for people with the same pain to join forces?”

The large man who had been chattering for a long time finally brought out the main point.

“It’s fine. Even with the two of us, it’s sufficient.”

Jin-su stood up from the seat along with those words. It was right after finishing the late dinner.

“I’m fine too.”

Shin Su-a said that and then stood up from the seat following Jin-su.

“Arrogant bastards.”

The puppy-faced woman who had been sitting quietly muttered small. The expressions of the remaining 3 were also not very good.

“Hey, are you confident you won’t regret leaving like that later?”

“If you do that, you’ll die a dog’s death.”

“The hunting grounds of Floor 100 aren’t that safe. Not only monsters but there are also cases where the same players turn into enemies.”

The large man, the woman with a female warrior feeling, and the man with a neat impression ran their mouths in order. As curses, warnings, ill words, and threats came out in succession, Jin-su who was going to pass over appropriately stopped his footsteps and turned his head.

“Do you guys have the confidence not to regret spitting out such words to me right now?”

At Jin-su’s words, the puppy-faced woman flared up.

“Where is a brat who couldn’t even join a guild acting arrogantly!”

“Stop.”

The large man stopped the puppy-faced woman.

“How can you flare up at the nonsense of an immature brat. We with a lot of experience should endure.”

No, he pretended to stop and crushed Jin-su.

“Well, since you haven’t even properly experienced the monsters of Floor 100, it’s the time when confidence in one’s own skill is overflowing.”

“If they do that, they’ll die. Die.”

The man with a neat impression and the woman with a female warrior feeling also looked at Jin-su as if pathetic.

Pisik!

Jin-su naturally laughed. Those guys weren’t acting. They sincerely thought they were showing mercy and Jin-su and Shin Su-a arrogantly refused, so they were offended.

“That bastard is laughing?”

“Endure. It’s because there’s no maturity.”

The puppy-faced woman flared up and the woman with a female warrior feeling stopped her.

Jin-su turned his head and went up to the lodging.

“Jin-su. Are you just going to pass over like this?”

Shin Su-a who was following behind Jin-su asked in a voice full of anger.

“Listen to the nonsense of immature kids with one ear and let it out the other. Anyway, they’re only guys like moths that will die before long.”

The sound of Jin-su and Shin Su-a’s conversation entered the ears of the four people as is.

“Immature? Moths? I just those guys!”

“Just leave them. As time passes, they’ll know who the real moths are.”

“Yeah, it was good not to accept them into the party. Even if there are guys like that, they only cloud the atmosphere.”

“That’s true.”

The sound of the four people chattering was heard, but Jin-su ignored it. Those four can be ignored. The important thing was Kim Han-ul’s reaction.

‘He’s looking pathetically.’

Kim Han-ul also seemed to have the same thought as those four people. He was looking at Jin-su and Shin Su-a as if looking at immature children.

‘Not bad.’

There is no need to receive unnecessary attention.

It was good that the matter of recognizing Jin-su’s skill and clinging while begging to join the Daehan Guild doesn’t occur. Because it only brings unnecessary annoyance.

Jin-su had no intention of staying on Floor 100 for nearly 10 years.

Jin-su’s current goal was to obtain everything obtainable on Floor 100 and then climb to Floor 101 as fast as possible.

***

Jin-su and Shin Su-a had breakfast the next morning and then went outside the city to hunt. The rescue stone was of course put into the inventory.

“Nyaaaang!”

Leo called and gathered monsters.

Kwaaaaang!

Seogeok!

Jin-su easily hunted monsters together with the Shadow Summons, raised levels, and acquired achievements.

‘I thought surveillance might be attached.’

Quite a long time has passed since hunting started. But he didn’t discover a surveillance person.

‘Did they think there is no value in attaching a surveillance person? Or are they thinking of watching for a few more days?’

If there is no surveillance person at all, it was only convenient from Jin-su’s perspective. Even if there is, shaking them off wasn’t that difficult a thing.

Only that if shaking off the surveillance person, there is a possibility of receiving unnecessary attention, which was only annoying.

‘They probably thought I’m not a newcomer with skill worth paying attention to.’

For newcomers thought to have outstanding skill, a surveillance person is always attached. To grasp the proper skill and then pull them in as guild members.

‘Because if mistakenly taken by another guild, the person in charge’s position becomes difficult.’

But if a newcomer with falling skill, there is no need to particularly attach a surveillance person.

‘That also requires using personnel to some extent.’

Also, the absolute majority of newcomers usually appeal themselves and display their talents on their own to join a guild.

‘There is a fixed idea that joining a guild is basic on Floor 100.’

Humans are social animals and have the habit of forming groups.

The mission clear deadline of Floor 100 is a whopping 10 years.

The absolute majority of players belong to guilds.

‘Players not belonging to a guild are mostly cases of falling skill or having defects in personality.’

Very rarely, there were cases of not belonging to a guild even though possessing outstanding skill. But it was only a very small minority.

‘I hope they continue to treat me as an immature brat and ignore me like this.’

Then it seemed it would be really convenient from Jin-su’s perspective.

“Nyaaang! Yam! Yam! Yam!”

Leo ate meat to its heart’s content. There was meat that came out as items when monsters died, and there was also meat Jin-su took out from the inventory and gave.

‘I don’t know how the stomach is formed to eat.’

Jin-su returned to the lodging last night and purchased large quantities of various kinds of monster meat at the auction house.

‘It’s enormously cheap.’

Most didn’t even cost 1 point per 1 kilogram. Goblin or orc meat was even sold at 1 point per 10 kilograms.

‘Is it natural since monster meat is the item discarded first when the inventory fills.’

The fun of seeing the system message that loyalty rose when giving food to Leo was also substantial.

‘Even if the appetite is enormously good, the meat price won’t cost much.’

Jin-su tested by giving various kinds of meat to Leo. The conclusion was that whether goblin meat or drake meat, it eats well.

‘Although it seems to like higher-grade monster meat a bit more.’

It eats all well, but if giving meat of higher-grade monsters like kraken or drake, loyalty rose faster.

‘I’m also curious until when it will rise.’

Jin-su smiled and took out meat from the inventory and fed it to Leo. The appearance of the small body munching and eating a meat chunk larger than itself was cute and really amazing.

‘Even if it only herds monsters well, it does more than the food price.’

Thanks to Leo, the hunting efficiency rose enormously.

“Today, let’s go in a bit deeper.”

“Yeah, that seems good.”

Perhaps because of the big haul sometime, it felt like the number of monster individuals itself decreased sharply.

Jin-su and Shin Su-a moved farther from the city.

‘If it becomes a degree of needing an expedition, I’ll have to try going through another gate.’

The city had a square form and there were a total of 4 entrances. The exit Jin-su and Shin Su-a entered yesterday and today was the south gate.

‘First, let’s sweep up the achievements and hidden pieces obtainable in this city.’

Floor 100 is enormously wide. Therefore, it is composed of several cities.

‘This place is like a beginner village if likened to a game.’

Naturally, the level of the monsters is also on the overall low side.

‘Since there will be no chance to come again in the future, I must not miss even one.’

After rest ends, he was thinking of entering the undead hidden dungeon through a week’s expedition. If he clears the undead hidden dungeon, he plans to go to another city, so there will be no chance to come here again.

“Nyaaaang!”

As they moved to some extent, Leo’s cute roar rang throughout the forest again.

“Kyaauung!”

“Keurureureu!”

At the same time, all kinds of monsters swarmed.

Jin-su used magic attack skills in the long range while holding a staff and wearing a robe, and in close combat, he wore armor and swung two swords to cut down the monsters.

The Shadow Summons also fiercely acted and hunted the monsters.

At that time, information that players were approaching came from the Shadow Archer who was in charge of surrounding scouting with the thought that a surveillance person might be attached.

‘Did the Daehan Guild attach a surveillance person to grasp the skill?’

That was the thought that arose first. Jin-su hurriedly dealt with the monsters and hid the Shadow Summons into the shadows.

“Where did all the monsters go?”

“I saw them heading this way. If we track, we can find them.”

At that time, the voices of the players reached Jin-su’s ears.

‘It’s not the Daehan Guild.’

The language the approaching players were using was not Korean but French.

‘Which country’s party is it?’

There are quite a few countries that use French as their native language. Jin-su first collected the loot into the inventory.

“Huh?”

At that time, the players who had been approaching at a fast speed discovered Jin-su and Shin Su-a and stopped their feet.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

Jin-su moved his footsteps while taking Shin Su-a. When meeting an unfamiliar party in the hunting ground, pretending not to see each other was the implicit rule.

Especially on Floor 100 where the influence of guilds is strong, that rule acted more strongly. Because if a quarrel arises and a fight breaks out, the matter can grow and spread into a war between guilds.

“Those guys are newcomers who just arrived at Floor 100 a few days ago.”

“Is that true?”

“Yeah, I saw them. They were being taken by the Daehan Guild?”

“But why are they here?”

“I don’t know either.”

“It doesn’t seem like there are Daehan Guild guys nearby.”

“I confirmed with the exploration skill. There aren’t any. Those two and one Stone Golem is all.”

“Really? Then we just have to be careful of the Stone Golem.”

11 players using French surrounded Jin-su and Shin Su-a.

“What are you doing?”

Jin-su asked while furrowing his face.

“Well? What are we doing?”

“If you want to live, show some sincerity appropriately.”

The players using French said while aiming weapons at Jin-su and Shin Su-a.

“Ha!”

Jin-su let out a sigh full of annoyance.

‘There is no place without guys trying to easily earn points through PK.’

The reason for saying to show sincerity appropriately was the meaning of taking out the items in the inventory. If a player kills a player, skill books or class change books come out. Equipped items and possessed points can also be obtained.

‘But the items inside the inventory disappear as is.’

So they make threats in the form of showing sincerity.

“Kill them all without leaving even one.”

At Jin-su’s words, the players who had been using French made expressions as if they were dumbfounded.

“Is that guy crazy!”

“Are you acting up relying on only one Stone Golem?”

“Kill them right now!”

The moment the players who had been using French charged at Jin-su and Shin Su-a.

Sareureuk!

The Shadow Summons that had been hiding in Jin-su’s shadow all jumped out at once.
