A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower - Chapter 49



Only Krnovel

As soon as he entered the 46th floor, Rajix sniffed around.

The scent of thick metal.

That’s right.

There is ore here.

The location is the large rock over there.

‘Whoa!’

If I mine some ore and give it to the summoner, he will be very happy, right?

Then you can get recognition again.

When I first met you, I thought you were going to kick me out.

Even now, when I think about that time, I feel like I’m going to faint.

I worked hard so that I would never be kicked out again.

Thanks to that, I was able to secure a spot.

As time went by, I started liking this place more and more.

Summoners are especially better.

He smiled at me even though I didn’t fill my backpack, he eliminated my competition, and he let me eat all the delicious carrots I wanted.

carrot.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I’ve tasted carrots from all over the world, but these are the best.

And that’s not all.

The Summoner and his companions always call him by his correct name.

Hey, you, Rajix, Rajix, Rajix… Don’t say that, but just say Mr. Rajix.

It’s so good.

That you are a worker who can be respected.

Lajix, who is now unable to leave this place.

My life’s goal is to be with the Summoner and my companions for a long time.

But there was a problem.

You’re saying that the skin you took off isn’t worth any money?

For that reason, the Basilisk hunt has also been halted.

This is a big deal.

Leather is useless.

My heart became anxious.

I thought one seat was completely occupied.

That was a mistake.

The danger of losing the right to eat carrots.

then?

I should give you something else.

Fortunately, the answer was found on the 46th floor.

Metal is a valuable commodity everywhere.

Of course, it will be no different here.

Will the Summoner praise you again?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

I knocked on the stone, chasing the smell of metal.

Stone fragments scattered in all directions.

Knock knock, knock knock!

one side,

Joohyuk just watched without saying anything.

The sight of a round ball of fur digging with a pickaxe was quite a curious sight.

A piece of rock that bounces off the safety helmet worn by Rajix.

That’s why you always wear a hat.

Not to be cute.

Yes, safety is the most important thing.

[You have successfully completed the 46th floor mission.]

“uh?”

“Huh?”

[Notice: You have achieved the S++ rank for clearing the 46th floor of the Black Tower (Korea).]

[S++ Strategy Reward: Platinum Badge is awarded.]

[You can challenge the 47th floor.]

[Exiting the Black Tower of the Republic of Korea.]

‘When did it end?’

I was so absorbed in watching that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed.

Spot!

Joo-hyuk and the summoned people return to the living room of the spacious penthouse.

“After a while….”

Lajix frowned.

The reason is obvious.

“You still haven’t filled your backpack yet?”

“Yes, I couldn’t even take off the exoskeleton.”

I took off my backpack one by one and took out the ore. There seemed to be about five lumps of ore.

Lajix, who can’t even make eye contact and is watching Joohyuk’s expression,

“sorry.”

“…”

“Once I get in, I’ll work hard. I’ll fill my backpack.”

Suddenly my heart feels heavy.

There is also a feeling of sympathy.

The other summoned people seemed to have noticed the mood and did not say anything.

“No. Let’s stop here for today and rest. And don’t even clean.”

At Joohyuk’s words, Rajix opened her eyes wide and sobbed as if she was shocked.

“…I don’t need blood?”

What are you talking about?

“Who said it wasn’t needed?”

The Cossacks, the Gobangs, and the Gyeondalae also hurriedly said a word.

“Who says we don’t need workers who even do miner work? I’d rather go out myself.”

“That’s right. It doesn’t matter if Cossack-sama is not here, or if he is, it doesn’t matter, but if Rajix-sama isn’t here, this great house will eventually fall apart.”

“The warrior respects Lazix. She must be here. It would be sad if Lazix were to disappear. The assassin would not mind if she disappeared immediately.”

“Now, wait, I, I didn’t mean it like that…”

Rajix’s expression brightened at the encouragement of his other colleagues.

“You heard? Mr. Rajix is ​​the person who needs you the most.”

Lajix is ​​so happy that his hair stands on end.

“Huh!”

He put his hands on his hips and exhaled breath, making a uniquely proud expression.

Oh my, so cute. So adorable.

“Would you like to eat some carrots while you rest? I ordered organic ones and they’re piled high in the vegetable compartment in the fridge.”

But Rajix shook his head.

“I don’t eat carrots.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“I want to go in one more time. I want to fill my backpack.”

“I told you you can rest….”

“No way?”

“uh…”

No, is there a ghost among your ancestors who died without doing anything?

Gyeondalrae came closer and whispered.

“Your Majesty, do as you say. Sir Rajis is already a servant through and through.”

“…”

There’s nothing I can do.

“Okay, let’s go in one more time. Go and fill up your backpack.”

“Huh!”

So, repeat the 46th floor.

This time I stood next to Rajix and watched him work.

Cossack, Gobang, and Gyeondalrae were just wasting time by luring Scorpion here and there without catching him to ensure Lajix’s smooth work.

Knock knock knock!

When you break a rock, shiny, metallic ore will come out, caught on the pickaxe.

Then pick it up and put it in your backpack.

How hard it must be.

Breaking rocks and picking up ore.

It’s like having to do two things by yourself.

“I’ll pick up the ore for you.”

“Huh? No. It’s hard.”

“I feel better if I do at least this.”

“Whew…”

Lajix was at a loss, but he had to do as the summoner told him to do.

The method of putting the ore in the backpack was easy.

Just hold it close to your backpack and the ore will automatically fall into it.

I kept going in.

It’ll be pretty heavy.

Knock knock knock!

Lajix focused solely on mining ore.

It doesn’t matter whether the scary scorpions come or not.

If the summoner was pleased, I would be happy to die while mining ore.

On the other hand, Joo-hyuk is worried about such a Rajix.

‘You’re working too hard.’

If you keep doing that, you’ll get sick.

Joohyeok also continued to pick up the ore that Rajix had dug up and put it in his backpack.

There’s nothing I can do.

If you don’t help Lajix, who will?

Meanwhile.

widely!

Ore that gets caught in the backpack entrance and doesn’t go any further.

end?

Finally filled it all up.

Somehow Joo-hyuk looks more cheerful,

“Ah! It’s over. It’s over! Now let’s go home and rest. What are you doing? Let’s hurry up and finish it and go out.”

It seems like the other summoned people were waiting too.

“Okay! It’s our turn. Leave it to us.”

“Finish it quickly.”

“I’ll shake the bell, Cossack and Gobang, you pay for your meal.”

“Princess, please play the Whimori Jangdan.”

Lajix with such a bright expression.

Is working that good?

“Hehe,”

“Oh my, look at the sweat, sweat.”

“Hehehe,”

Anyway, as long as you’re happy, that’s fine. Whether you work or play.

Well, I guess it’s okay to go on like this for the time being.

While helping Rajix.

And the mission was completed.

Spot!

He left the tower.

The ores taken out of the backpack.

There are about 70 or more large and small lumps.

Compared to leather, the volume is much smaller.

It appears that Rajix’s backpack is calculated in weight units, unlike the player’s inventory.

Even though the ores were small in size, each one was quite heavy, perhaps because they were mixed with metal.

‘What kind of metal are these?’

If you look closely, they are different colors.

A pitch-black metallic substance mixed with stone, resembling adamant, the silvery orichalcon, and the yellow sectonium.

‘Anyway, they’re all coming out at once.’

Among them, Adamant seems to be the most numerous.

The mined ore is stored in an empty room.

The quantity is still small.

I think it would be better to collect them all and hand them over at once.

But that doesn’t mean I have to do the same thing every day…

Let’s climb instead.

Up to the 49th floor.

Then the first strategy is to let Rajix rest.

Start climbing the tower.

You can get to the 49th floor in no time.

And repeated attacks over ten days.

And there isn’t much left.

Check the 50th floor special and the random summon cooldown.

***

Korea was peaceful.

At least there were no problems climbing the tower.

But the situations in the neighboring countries were completely different.

japan.

Yoo Cheol-min was never able to recover from his mental breakdown.

They even refuse to enter the top because they are trembling.

So, he lost all the benefits he had received upon naturalization and was expelled with his family to a small town in Japan.

In the end, the Japanese government chose to sign a temporary naturalization agreement with the United States for players.

A US government player who was conquering the early 60s became Japanese for a month.

No one knows how much Japan gave the United States in return, but it must have been at least several dozen times the cost of renting the Holy Sword.

The situation was no better in another neighboring country, China.

A spark landed on the instep.

The 59th floor conquest is just around the corner.

But even after kidnapping so many players, it ultimately failed.

At this rate, the countdown to collapse will begin.

If you can’t stop one, three will fall in succession.

In the end, China’s choice, like Japan’s, was a temporary naturalization contract.

In fact, the number of floors to climb, 59, is ambiguous.

The current global average number of floors climbed is 55.

There are only a few countries that have conquered the 59th floor.

The United States, Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, and Saudi Arabia.

The upper 60s were the only countries other than Korea and the United States.

In fact, Korea and the United States should have also adjusted the number of floors.

One floor every six months.

Step by step.

But how do you stop players from entering the tower and attacking it as they please?

In a situation where you don’t even know who, when, or which floor will be conquered.

Even though there were a lot of talented players, it was still a problem.

Even in the past, there was an incident in the United States where three unconquered upper floors were conquered at the same time within a month.

Korea was like that too.

It’s pretty high up now so that doesn’t happen.

And with the government actively intervening, it became possible to regulate it.

But we cannot rest assured.

Because an unknown player may appear at any time and place and attempt to climb to the upper floors without any control over the floor number.

Anyway, from China’s perspective, there was no proper place to request temporary naturalization.

The US already had professional players who were temporarily naturalized in Japan, and it was too proud to ask Korea, so in the end, they had no choice but to beg from Russia.

A huge price had to be paid for a one-month temporary naturalization.

They even demanded land, and parts of Heilongjiang Province became Russian territory.

The border has been redrawn.

It was a terrible humiliation for China.

Even if you say you got over the hump thanks to that.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates entered Korea through Incheon International Airport.

***

Awakening Management Agency.

Commissioner Park Kyung-soo and Deputy Commissioner Jeon Gwang-il are talking.

“Your Majesty, what about Crown Prince Abdul bin Salah? You said you were going to meet him today?”

“I’m planning to meet you later this evening, with the President.”

“Do you know what the matter is? The Crown Prince is suddenly visiting Korea.”

“First, look at this. It’s data from the National Intelligence Service.”

Director Park Kyung-soo placed the documents on the table.

Has the mastermind behind the attempted kidnapping of elite players been revealed?

I opened the document, but… it wasn’t there.

“In Abu Dhabi…, a terrorist attack?”

“Yeah, just three days ago.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Isn’t this an incident that hasn’t even been reported on the news?”

“The UAE government controlled the reporting. About 10 players were killed at once.”

“…yes?”

Jeon Gwang-il read the documents carefully.

“What the heck! Karim Zahid is dead too?”

“It’s a shame. In addition, more than 10 players above level 50 managed by the state also died.”

Karim Zahid.

A national player challenging the 60th floor of the Black Tower in the United Arab Emirates.

How much effort has the United Arab Emirates put into developing it?

I am a player who has raised my character by sweeping up all the runes that enhance characteristics that are on the market.

The biggest culprit that caused trait enhancement runes to disappear from the market was the United Arab Emirates.

Because they just kept feeding their country’s talented players.

“As far as I know, there are about 20 days left to clear the 60th floor of the Black Tower in the United Arab Emirates. However, Karim Zahid and all the level 50 players were killed by the explosion….”

“It’s a terrible thing.”

Yes, that’s right.

Not only the top players, but also the mid players who could support the waist are gone.

“No, how on earth did you do the security?”

“Security was a problem, one of the bodyguards was an Islamic extremist. That was revealed shortly after the incident.”

My bones are chilled.

If you think about it, it’s not someone else’s business.

This can easily happen in Korea, too, since outside of the tower, players are no different than ordinary people.

A similar incident almost happened a while ago.

“You must have come to Korea to request temporary naturalization. But Nam Ga-eun is not a player. It’s impossible.”

“Of course. But the UAE seems to be desperate. They’re begging for permission, saying they’ll restore it immediately after the attack is over.”

Top players from each country are not eligible for temporary naturalization.

The United States also trains and operates specialized naturalization players.

Because dual citizenship is not allowed.

Players can only enter the towers of a single country.

There is even a theory that people with dual citizenship cannot even awaken.

I got temporary naturalization, but what if I pretend to be crazy and they don’t restore my citizenship?

How many cases like that have actually occurred?

Temporary naturalization is also something that can only be done if the country has the power.

“The American naturalization specialist player is in Japan, Russia has signed a contract with China, and the UK, France, Saudi Arabia, and Norway also do not have a temporary naturalization specialist player, so it must be difficult. I can understand why they came to Korea.”

“Because you most recently successfully cleared the 66th floor, you probably thought you had some time to spare.”

The Black Tower in the United Arab Emirates is located near the oil fields.

If the tower collapses, the oil fields will not be safe either.

Although magic stones are fully functioning as an alternative energy source, petroleum is still a valuable resource.

Commissioner Park Kyung-soo looked around for a moment, then opened his mouth and whispered quietly.

“Actually, there is one more thing that the United Arab Emirates wants besides Nam Ga-eun.”

“Are you talking about Manager Lee Min-ah? Absolutely not. Manager Lee is also in the process of climbing the 60th floor, and even if she is qualified, she cannot be sent.”

Manager Lee Min-ah is also ineligible for temporary naturalization.

She is the administration’s plan B.

You can think of it as inheriting the role of the former Nam Ga-eun player.

“It’s not Manager Lee Min-ah.”

“Then who?”

“A player who recently achieved consecutive S++ ranks up to the 49th floor.”

“under!”

Is the United Arab Emirates crazy?

“No, I don’t even know who you are…”

Of course I know Park Kyung-soo and Jeon Gwang-il, but

“It seems that the UAE believes that Korea has figured out the identity of the S++ player.”

“Even if you know, temporary naturalization is nonsense.”

Player Bong Joo-hyuk’s current floor is 49th.

I have to climb 11 floors within 20 days.

It won’t be difficult for him at all, he’ll probably be up and running in 11 days.

“You must absolutely deny your knowledge. You must not even give them a chance to poke you.”

“Why are you like this? Do I look like someone who would do that to you?”

“Hahaha, I always trust you, sir.”

Commissioner Park Kyung-soo chuckled and continued speaking.

“Still, let’s give Bong Joo-hyuk some luck because this happened to him. It’ll probably be reported in the media soon.”

“Yes, we were planning to meet today anyway.”

“Oh! How’s the leather business going?”

“Well… there was a hitch.”

“What is it?”

“Because of the lack of leather cutting and working tools.”

Basilisk hide must be cut with a knife made of top metal.

If you forcefully cut it using equipment, it may be possible to cut it, but the leather will be damaged.

Above all, delicate workmanship is impossible.

Sewing itself doesn’t work.

“You say there’s no spare metal in the workshop?”

“It’s also tight to make weapons,”

“Is it difficult to import?”

“Yes, they probably don’t even have enough money to make their own equipment.”

Jeon Gwang-il was also worried.

It was a business that player Bong Joo-hyuk trusted and entrusted to him, but it started off on a rocky note from the start.
