A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower - Chapter 144

Episode 144
Now that the collapse deadlines have been overlapped.
Climbing the unexplored upper levels is not a problem.
But the 80th floor was being cautious.
What if I go up first and an accident happens?
Could you call it a kind of battle of wits?
I wasn’t too worried.
No matter how easy the 70s are, getting to the 80s is very difficult.
But then it actually happened.
Two American cult players took turns climbing to the 80th floor.
Players who are not particularly skilled or talented.
Moreover, they may have amnesia or something, and they don’t even know how they attacked.
Eventually, a world notice was posted.
[World Announcement: The Demon Lord Diamat appears outside the tower.]
This is a big deal.
The curse of Kavalan may return.
At that time, the Japanese tower collapsed.
They even said that it was fortunate.
now?
It was obvious that something was going to happen, one way or another.
The U.S. government has launched an investigation.
First, let’s investigate the two players who caused the incident.
After investigating in every possible way, I was able to obtain information from people around me that they were bragging about certain items they had received as rewards from the tower.
Diamat’s Left Hand
Diamat’s right hand.
Modifiers for items.
The name of the boss of the 80th floor who appeared outside the tower.
There’s no doubt that guy is plotting something.
America was on edge.
Whatever the cause, American players have climbed the top 80 floors in the United States.
It could be branded a global troll nation, like France was.
Of course, there aren’t many countries that would openly criticize the United States, except for China and Russia.
What matters is face.
What if the world is in crisis because of America?
American citizens were also anxious.
How can you be calm when the 80th floor boss Diamat comes out of the American Tower?
So, every day is anxious for Secretary of Homeland Security McMillan.
If only I could find a clue as to where the Diamart that came out of the tower is, it wouldn’t be this frustrating.
But you can find it if you look for it.
Then I’ll make you pay the price for coming out of the tower without knowing.
Modern cutting-edge scientific weapons could not be brought into the tower.
It would have been possible to have a pistol that could fit in one hand.
But what if it’s outside?
Just push them away with missiles, fighter jets, tanks, and such.
Diamat and the like are made into honeycombs.
If you find it.
But I can’t find it.
‘Whew, where the hell are you and what are you doing?’
It would be the worst if a mass murder incident occurred.
That was when.
Bam!
A person opened the door to the minister’s office and came in.
It was Director Antonio.
“… Tch! This guy. You should have knocked before coming in. It’s already a mess.”
“I came here because it was urgent.”
“No matter how urgent it is!”
“Then shall we go out again?”
“…what?”
Secretary Macmillan studied Antonio’s face carefully.
‘Look at this?’
A smiling expression.
There is something.
“Tell me. Don’t hesitate.”
Antonio chuckles.
“I just had a phone call with the Korean Awakening Management Agency’s player, no, the director.”
“however?”
“Diamat told me not to worry.”
“…Wh, what are you talking about?”
“Literally. Think of it as an accident and move on.”
You said I don’t have to worry?
“Sir, really?”
“Yes, Mr. Bong took care of it.”
“Really? You’re not joking, are you?”
“Am I joking about this? I checked everything.”
Can I trust you?
You can trust it.
What if you don’t believe that the world’s best player handled it himself?
Macmillan raised both hands and cheered.
My stuffy chest felt relieved.
“Jesus! God, thank you.”
“Thanks go to Mr. Bong. He cleaned up America’s dirty mess.”
“I was going to do it anyway. I already got your number.”
Macmillan takes out his smartphone.
“Aren’t you going to answer the phone? I heard you don’t answer very often.”
“I should at least send a message. I just installed a Korean SNS messenger app a while ago.”
Macmillan used a translator to carefully write sentences in Korean.
– Thank you. Diamart processing. I will definitely repay you. Grace. I hope you will definitely visit. To America.
Then, after a while.
Tiring!
– You’re welcome.
“Oh! Look! I got a reply!”
“…I hope that will be good for you.”
“Hahahaha, right! Was there no other information besides that?”
“It was there. Diamart’s true identity is… … .”
The U.S. government moved quickly.
I can’t just let it go.
We need to alleviate the people’s anxiety.
Let’s give reporters an update on the Diamat deal at a press briefing at the White House.
The news broke first in the United States.
└ Can I really believe it?
└ Of course. It’s the Korean Awakening Management Agency.
└ But how did you deal with it? Did you kill it?
└ Is there anything else that can be done besides killing?
└ Hmm, she’s a succubus queen, but it’s too bad.
Korean community sites also exploded.
└ Mom!!! Bring me a bowl here!
└ Today, the Succubus Queen will be serving you specially.
└ Gojo, what did you say the next day? You said that you should only trust your top players, right?
└ But how did you do it? Do you know where Diamart is?
└ Tsk tsk, you little bastard, you can’t tell just by looking at him? You found him with clairvoyance and used the teleportation technique to quickly deal with him!
└ This isn’t a joke, it seems like it’s true.
└ Long live the world’s best player, Comrade! Long live Joo-hyuk!
└ Hey, North Korean players. Stop cheering for Joo Hyuk.
└ My name is Park Joo-hyuk, and I get surprised every time I see that.
└ I’m also Joohyuk. Lee Joohyuk.
└ I am Jang Joo-hyuk.
└ Yeah. If someone saw it, they would know that the best player’s name was Joohyuk.
└ But I’m really curious. Who is the best player? Does the government know?
└ America knows too, right? They won’t reveal it to protect your identity.
└ At this point, I really want to know who it is.
└ There is nothing good about your identity being revealed.
The identity of the world’s best player.
It has never been disclosed to the public.
The Korean Awakening Management Agency also sent an official letter to each media outlet, asking them to refrain from covering stories about top players.
But now things are starting to change.
The level of interest has crossed the threshold.
Who on earth could it be?
If we just find out, it’s a big scoop.
It’s not just journalists.
YouTubers, cyber wreckers, and paparazzi also jumped in.
They said they would give 100 million or 200 million if people would just report on who they suspected to be the best player through their personal broadcasts.
All sorts of absurd reports were running rampant.
However, there were also reports that had a very high level of credibility.
*
Joohyuk’s penthouse.
As always, the training of new recruits falls to the Cossacks.
“Everyone has to start off with the hard work at their first job. That’s how they can be recognized by CEO Bong and loved by their seniors. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Okay. Then I’ll start by cleaning the living room. And then I’ll do the dishes. There’s a lot to do.”
Former succubus Queen Diamat lies down on the living room floor and begins to mop diligently.
“Hueeek!”
Then Lajix snatched the rag from Diamat’s hands and shouted at the Cossack.
It’s my job to clean, so why are you taking it away from me? It’s my job to clean, so why are you protesting?
“Haa, Lajix worker!”
“Whew!”
“You are the master of the universe. You should leave the cleaning and other things to your juniors and do the big things.”
“… Huh?”
Even the fairy Gyeondalrae got involved.
“Cossack, you are right. Even servants have classes. That man is an untouchable slave, and we are slaves of the upper class. How can we do the same job?”
“Hoeeeeee,”
Lajix felt happy when he heard that he was a slave of a wealthy family.
Well, how much would it cost to clean with a small rag like that?
Your cleaning equipment is far superior to mine.
So I left Diamart to do the cleaning.
On the other hand, there were some people who frowned.
Tiring!
A message from Marie arrived on Gyeondalrae’s tablet.
: Damn it! Dress her up properly! She’s throwing away her summoner’s eyes. Or cut off her tail! @&$%#$!!!
Looks very angry.
: Okay. I’ll put some clothes on you. Actually, I didn’t like the look either.
: Do your best. No matter how much you surrender to the system, never trust it. If possible, get that %&@&#@-like dreamcatcher away from the summoner.
Gyeondalrae tilted her head.
You’re overreacting.
I’m getting impatient.
Even now, I am watching Diamart with my eyes open through the crack in the door.
Anyway, Gyeondalrae took out clothes from her closet and put them on Diamat.
The tail was also hidden inside the clothes.
The new employee orientation is almost over.
Now it’s time to enter the tower.
Joohyeok said as he handed Diamat the rune for increasing the level of the converted defector.
“Take this and come back after you level up.”
“… Huh? Th, what is this?”
“At least Saru can do one person’s share.”
“Ahhh.”
A moved Diamart.
The soul’s status has fallen three levels due to a breach of contract.
This is a chance to make up for it one step further.
“Thank you, Summoner, sniff.”
I was writhing in tears.
‘Oh.’
Every single thing he does makes my heart flutter.
Cleaning is also like that.
Neither the way he speaks nor the way he cries.
It can’t be helped.
Seducing people is a special trait of the succubus race.
“… Hmm! See you next time.”
“yes.”
“Summon Diamart.”
Spot!
and
“Summon Blood Wolf!”
Spot!
“Whoa!”
Lajix raises his hand to welcome the appearance of Blood Wolf.
“Woof, woof!”
The responding blood wolf.
The two of them became true soul mates.
*
I plan to climb the 77th floor today too.
Mr. Cossack, before you leave to break through the ranks, you must see your father Hartman’s face one last time.
Then I plan to go on vacation.
I haven’t seen you for two weeks.
Shouldn’t we have a farewell party before that?
On the blue beach.
“Mr. Cossack.”
“Pressure!”
“What are you going to talk about when you meet your father today?”
“There’s nothing special. It’s the same every time.”
“which?”
“It’s a story about my mother.”
“… … .”
My eyes suddenly feel sore.
Do you remember your mother’s face?
“Are you making any progress in the conversation?”
“It’s difficult. You keep saying that this is the tower and that you are a bound soul, but nothing changes.”
That’s right.
It seems like you understand, but when you re-enter, it resets and you are back to where you were.
It’s sad to see.
How heartbreaking is that?
A son goes to kill his father and gets killed instead, and the father who killed his son later realizes the truth and goes mad.
Even the Cossack does not remember his mother’s face.
Yet always with a bright expression.
Wiping away tears secretly.
Start climbing the tower.
[Enter the 77th floor of the Black Tower (NO.2) of the Republic of Korea.]
Spot!
But right then!
“huh?”
“uh?”
“…what?”
“Hmm.”
“That’s… … .”
77th floor.
The prisoners were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, there is a man standing on the sandy beach like a totem pole.
Not too big or too small.
A smooth scalp without hair or eyebrows.
It’s not even a real thing.
Something like a holographic image.
“you…….”
The expression of a mad horse with a sharp mind.
“I just remembered. You are the manager.”
manager?
[That’s right. I’m the designer who plans and designs the missions and rewards for each level.]
moment!
A tremendous amount of murderous intent pouring out.
All the summoned people were glaring at the administrators.
“Why do you dare come here?”
“How shameless. I will make you suffer the punishment of heaven someday.”
“Fuck, you little bastard. Where are you staring? Close your eyes!”
“Light! I curse you!”
“Whoa!”
“Krrrrrr!”
It was intense animosity.
Of course.
The mastermind who designed the Kavalan curse and sent Diamat out.
The dark force that has been threatening the summoner.
Can you stay still?
But why did the manager appear in front of the player?
Is this okay?
A crescent moon energy rose from the hand of the mad horse.
Swish! The goblin has grown huge.
Jiying, the Cossack is wielding a dagger.
All summoned ones prepare for battle.
[Woah, don’t do useless things, I’m just welcoming anyway.]
“I know. If it were real, you would have been torn to pieces already.”
[I didn’t come here to fight.]
The manager designer then locks eyes with Joohyuk.
[I’ve come to make a suggestion. Are you willing to listen?]
It’s a suggestion.
‘What kind of drugs is this kid trying to sell again?’
[That was truly an amazing feat. Even though you are a summoner, your achievement of climbing the tower is something that will go down in history.]
‘hmm.’
That’s right.
Of course, all the summoned people did it.
[So I propose: a special reward for a special player.]
oh!
You’re giving me a reward?
What is it?
Take it out and look.
[But to get the desired reward, you’ll need a special mission, right?]
‘… By any chance this kid.’
[So I plan to design the 81st floor specially. If you succeed, you will definitely be rewarded, and if you fail, you will get nothing.]
Look, look!
I knew it.
‘coon.’
Who knew it would fall?
[It’s a simple law of equivalent exchange. Put the desired reward on the scale. Then the difficulty of the 81st floor will be determined accordingly.]
Equivalent exchange is a no-no.
‘What? Putting the reward on the scale? How do you see people?’
If you thought that kind of thing would catch your eye, you misjudged the person.
Safety comes first, not greed… Stay still!
‘The reward you want? No way?’
Joohyuk looked at the manager and asked.
“Excuse me, what reward do I want?”
[Yes. Runes of attribute enhancement, catalog expansion tickets, dragon hearts, demon lord’s heart… choose whatever.]
‘Oh!’
You’ll give me anything?
Then my thoughts change again.
Joo-hyuk called all the people who were summoned together.
“Let’s give it a try. It’s a good opportunity.”
“However, the difficulty of the mission will be determined by the reward. You may get caught up in the administrator’s evil scheme.”
“It’s worth a try if you have the catalog expansion ticket and the rune for strengthening characteristics.”
“My Lord! High risk, high return.”
“What if the risk is too great to bear?”
“Let’s think about it carefully. There’s no particular rush.”
Let’s argue.
There are mixed opinions, but there is something that is more urgent than anything else.
“I would like to request the liberation of the Top Soul. Master Hartmann, I will free you from your bonds.”
“Ah! That, that kind of… … .”
“Wow! I never thought of that, old man.”
“Confucius… This is indeed an altruistic decision.”
“Excellent, my lord.”
“Sergeant Veronica Caliber, victory! Glory to the Commander!”
but.
“I disagree. Ask for the runes to enhance your traits. It’s useless because of me and my father… … .”
“Oh, really! If Mr. Cossack is your father, he’s as good as my uncle. Hey? I should be a little more filial to my uncle.”
“… … .”
A Cossack bowing his head.
Joohyuk turned his head and spoke to the manager.
“Is it possible? Lord Hartmann, liberate your soul.”
The manager flinched.
The big thing is, is it normal to free a soul from a tower?
The agreement between each other, the causality has been satisfied.
According to the law of equivalent exchange, the difficulty will increase like crazy.
But that’s not enough.
More for sure failure!
[Yes, put it on the scale. But will that be enough? You can put one more on it.]
okay?
Then what?
The summoned people gathered together and started talking and babbling.
“Runes for strengthening traits?”
A manager who can’t hide his bitter expression.
[As much as you want.]
Again, they gathered together and whispered, whispering.
“Did you see that kid smile?”
“It all shows in your expression.”
“If you raise the level to the level of trait enhancement runes, it will be impossible to conquer.”
“Let’s leave that out.”
“No, it would be better to just take away my father’s liberation… … .”
“fizzle!”
Opinions were gathered.
“I will only put one thing on the scale: soul liberation.”
[… It’s a guaranteed reward. It’s given unconditionally just by completing the strategy.]
“It’s okay. I’m not greedy.”
[What if you have 5,000 tons of high-grade magic stones? I’ll give you a large quantity of the highest-grade magic stones.]
Huh?
Reassemble.
Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
“It’s okay. You can just dig it up.”
[The brave find the treasure… … .]
“Yeah, I don’t have courage. I’m a coward.”
[… … .]
Don’t go over there! You obvious bastard!
