A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower - Chapter 52



Only Krnovel

Late at night.

Suite room at Ilseong Hotel, Seoul.

Crown Prince Abdul bin Salah of the United Arab Emirates couldn’t sleep.

There are now only 15 days left until the UAE Tower collapses.

Still, the reason I stayed here for 5 days.

I expected that my request for provisional naturalization would not be accepted.

Would the Korean government readily lend out its top players?

However, individual opinions will differ.

Korea is known for guaranteeing maximum personal freedom to players.

I had high hopes for it.

So I tried persistently to contact player Nam Ga-eun personally, but… I was flatly rejected.

The position is that they will not even grant temporary naturalization for a single day, let alone 15 days.

Next.

Moved the Korean media.

To appeal to those who have recorded the S++ rank strategy of the Black Tower in South Korea.

They put out an article asking people to contact the embassy with the best terms.

But all the calls I get are prank calls.

A situation where all attempts have failed.

There is only one choice left.

I have no choice but to return to the UAE and beg the Saudi Arabian government.

But Saudi Arabia’s demands were too excessive.

Temporary naturalization is possible.

Instead, you must pass on the trait enhancement rune.

They also demanded land near the border.

This is an area with gas fields.

There’s $1 billion in cash, 1 ton of magic stones, 1 ton of top metal, 100 top leathers…

There is no thief like this thief.

But in return, he said he would help us conquer not only the 60th floor, but also the 61st floor in 6 months.

‘I can’t help it.’

Until things get back to normal, we have no choice but to sign a humiliating contract.

In any case, other countries will make similar demands.

A neighboring country is better than a faraway country.

Because we can’t continue to have bad relations with Saudi Arabia.

‘I guess I have to go back tomorrow.’

moment!

Tirik! Clang!

The suite door opened.

‘hmm?’

Security team?

I didn’t even call you.

Dragging and dragging.

The sound of a heavy object being dragged on the floor.

I was curious so I went towards the door.

“…”

A Western man was dragging two fallen bodyguards inside.

He even carried a shield and an iron club on his back.

It was clear that there was an intruder.

So I tried to avoid him, but my eyes met his.

‘Huh!’

Binsala took a deep breath.

I just kept sucking it in.

I had to exhale, but I couldn’t.

I couldn’t even move my body.

He just stood there as if he was nailed to the spot.

The man was laughing.

That laughter was so creepy.

A man walked slowly and sat down on the sofa as if it were his own home.

He gestures to the sofa across from him.

The expression “sit down” made my body move.

Breathing also returned to normal.

Bin Salah had no choice but to follow.

A piece of paper is placed on the table.

I took a quick look.

Interpreter, two words in English written in Korean.

‘Are you Korean?’

If you just look at his appearance, he doesn’t look like that at all.

Anyway, I’m calling people.

Binsala picked up the phone.

“Excuse me, can I call you?”

Nod.

A gesture of permission.

Yeah, I’ll call you.

Interpreters and bodyguards too.

Binsala sent a message on his smartphone.

He explained in detail the situation, saying that an unknown intruder had broken in.

Okay then.

Urrrr,

Bodyguards and attendants rushing into the suite.

Each of them pointed their pistols at the assailant.

“Don’t move!”

“Put your hands up! I don’t want to get a hole drilled in my head.”

“You guys protect the crown prince.”

“If you even move your fingertips, I’ll shoot you.”

Clank! Clank! Clank!

More than 10 guns were aimed at him.

But the man was relaxed.

Sitting on the sofa with your legs crossed.

“Who are you! How dare you…”

That was when.

Spot!

Crunch, rustling, rustling, rustling….

Flashes of light illuminate the dark suite here and there.

Thump, thud, thud,

The front part of the pistol is cut cleanly and falls to the ground.

Before he knew it, the assailant was holding a short dagger in each hand.

They say he cut off the pistol with a dagger.

Is that possible?

With just a dagger?

Everyone was speechless at this absurd situation.

No, I wasn’t surprised, I just couldn’t move.

A terrifying aura gripping the bodies of the bodyguards and attendants.

Their legs are wobbly.

His face also turned pale.

It felt like a sharp blade was pointed at my Adam’s apple.

And the face of a strange man with indecipherable emotions.

A terrible expressionless face that makes it hard to tell whether he’s smiling or angry.

The assailant pointed to the paper again.

I’m telling you to interpret.

Binsala glanced at the attendant who could interpret in Korean.

“All. Who are you?”

An interpreting attendant.

The Cossack did not answer the question.

just,

“Bring me the rune of strengthening characteristics.”

Ouch!

Crown Prince Bin Salah is surprised.

A rune for strengthening characteristics?

I absolutely cannot respond.

Even if I die here.

So I tried to express my refusal with the determination to die.

“Even if you kill me…”

“I’ll clear the 60th floor within 15 days. And the 61st floor in 6 months.”

Wince!

Binsala stopped talking.

“Oh, how? Because you naturalized?”

“No, there is no naturalization.”

“…Are you kidding me right now?”

The Cossack continued with a bitter smile.

“Are there any players from the United Arab Emirates here?”

“…”

Binsala kept his mouth shut.

Actually, there is one person I brought along.

Omar Hassan, a promising player being nurtured by the United Arab Emirates.

I also fed the trait enhancement twice.

But still level 27.

It was a long, long way to get to the 60th floor.

Bin Salah always carries Omar with him.

It’s because of security issues.

You are safest next to yourself.

Also, a rune for strengthening characteristics.

But you want me to call him?

“There it is. Bring it now.”

“…”

“Don’t kill them. They’re just unconscious. But if you don’t listen, they’ll all die.”

And then.

“Want to try it?”

The murderous atmosphere that filled the suite became even more intense.

I feel like my throat is going to get cut even though I didn’t do anything.

Some attendants fell to their knees in extreme fear.

“Call me quickly.”

Binsala realized.

You should listen to the author.

Otherwise we’ll all really die.

Everyone’s neck will roll to the ground like the butt of a pistol.

He gave instructions to his attendants with a wink,

After a while.

Omar Hassan entered the room.

The Cossack looked at him and asked.

“If you’re a player, you can probably check the items, right?”

Omar glanced at Bin Salah and nodded.

The Cossack took out a paper ticket, similar to a yellow card, from his pocket.

“Check it out, you can call the effect yourself.”

The moment I took the paper with trembling hands,

‘hmm?’

Omar’s eyes widened.

“…Multinational top ticket?”

With a face that seemed curious about Binsala.

“Omar, what, what ticket?”

“This is a multinational tower ticket. You can enter any tower regardless of nationality…”

“what?”

“The system message told me so.”

A ticket to use the multinational tower.

As the name suggests, it is intuitive.

Of course, this is my first time hearing about it.

But Omar would never lie, and the system tells him so, so it can’t be fake.

The Cossack, who had received the ticket again, spoke forcefully.

“I promise. The 60th floor of the Black Tower in the United Arab Emirates will be conquered within 15 days. And the 61st floor as well.”

There was a brief silence.

The fear also gradually subsided.

Because I knew that this man was here for the purpose of trading.

Crown Prince Bin Salah’s head turned quickly.

A promise to conquer the 60th floor within 15 days and the 61st floor after 6 months.

The conditions are incomparably better than those in Saudi Arabia.

You don’t have to give away any land, tower materials, money, or anything else.

Just one rune to enhance your traits.

But will this type of contract be kept?

What if the promise isn’t kept even after giving the rune?

Meanwhile, the Cossack pointed his finger at Omar.

“you.”

“Why again…?”

“I give you a gift. As a token of my friendship.”

“Sir, a gift?”

The Cossack took out the hammer and shield he had brought and placed them on the table.

“Take it.”

Omar looked at Bin Salah, not knowing what was going on, then picked up his hammer and shield.

At the same time, an exclamation burst from his mouth.

“ah!”

I was surprised.

It had to be that way.

‘What item….’

Effects: Increases the user’s concentration when worn, dazzling flashes, strengthens physical and magical defense, and has a certain probability of reflecting attacks back to enemies when defense is successful.

Characteristics: Maintains composure in any abnormal status. Never breaks.

Effect: Increases attack speed during battle, freezes target, increases attack range, and activates Ice Field with a certain probability when hitting.

Feature: Guides enemies into a twilight sanctuary, never to be destroyed.

The Cossack chuckled at that sight.

I can tell just by looking at your expression.

You’ll be amazed by the item’s effects.

As Omar stood there blankly holding his hammer and shield, Bin Salah said,

“Omar, what is it?”

“These are both items from the tower. They are not crafted items.”

“It’s not production?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen an item like this. It’s definitely not something you can find on the market.”

“Really?”

“Yes. The optional effects are also amazing. It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s the strongest weapon. I want to go into the tower and use it right now.”

Binsala looks at the Cossack with a strange gaze.

“This item… is it for sale?”

“I told you, it’s a gift of friendship.”

“What if I don’t give you the trait enhancement rune?”

“I won’t give it to you and then take it away. But everyone here will just die.”

I think so.

‘It’s a gift.’

Omar seems to really like that gear.

I saw him in rapture, hugging his weapon and shield tightly.

“Can the tower really be conquered just by handing over the runes?”

“On my name.”

“What’s your name?”

“Gobang.”

High-class.

It’s a strange name.

That’s not important though.

“Crown Prince, I have a question for you. Are the runes for enhancing characteristics in this room right now?”

“No. There’s no way he’d carry something that important….”

“Here it is.”

The Cossack looked around the room and said:

“The living room? No, that room? No, not there either. Maybe the bedroom?”

The response came.

“That’s right. I was in the bedroom.”

Gulp.

Binsala swallowed dry saliva.

“Be honest.”

“…”

“I’m not only good at killing people, I’m also very good at torturing them.”

What can’t you do?

A situation where you can make people unable to move with just a look.

“If I torture you, I can make you offer a rune of attribute enhancement with your own hands within one minute.”

“Hmm.”

“But just stay still. Don’t miss your chance.”

I have no choice but to believe his words.

A person who is capable of doing so, someone who can do so.

But so far no one has killed anyone, and no one has even given them gifts.

A thousand thoughts pass through Binsala’s head.

A proposal to conquer the tower without naturalization.

I also provided proof with a ticket.

Who could it be? Could it be the S++ rank strategy recorder?

By then, will you be able to use your abilities outside the tower?

No, identity doesn’t matter.

Whether you can keep your promise or just eat the runes and stick your feet out.

If only you could confirm that.

The worries were getting longer.

Nevertheless, the strange man named Gobang continued to wait.

I can’t stand it anymore, I’m ready to torture him.

I’m still so scared that my heart is pounding, but I’m starting to believe more and more.

After a while.

Bin Salah made up his mind.

I decided to put my fate on the line with Gobang.

“Just wait.”

Binsala went to the bedroom and came out carrying a small aluminum bag.

A bag that explodes if you enter the wrong password for fingerprint recognition.

Crunch!

He opened the bag and caressed the rune for a while.

“Here it is. Take it.”

The Cossack said with a grin.

“Congratulations. You survived with this. The UAE will be safe too.”

I finally got the reinforcement rune.

And the ugly weapons were also put away.

“Let’s keep today’s work a secret. It won’t be good if others find out, right?”

Binsala’s body trembled.

Somehow I felt relieved.

Because even though that villain had achieved his goal, he still kept himself alive.

“Oh, I see. Keep it a secret…”

“Oh! Are you satisfied with the deal?”

“What does that mean?”

“The deal we made. We have to be satisfied. Both of us. This is a serious matter.”

“…I am, I am satisfied.”

“Yes, you will be more satisfied in 15 days. And in 6 months.”

And then, swish!

The Cossack disappeared into the darkness.

It was like a dream that Bin Salah had.

Is this really a good thing?

You’ll find out in 15 days.

***

Joo-hyuk was alone in the penthouse.

The Cossacks were sent for negotiation purposes, and Gyeondallae, Gobang, and Lajix were released.

Honestly, I’m worried.

He went there, boasting confidently…

An assassin negotiating? How can I possibly trust him?

Anyway, I checked the special features and all that’s left is the random summon.

But I have no intention of calling now.

We have to assume that the negotiations will fail.

Even if we have to take out Rajix, we have to wait for an opportunity on the 55th floor.

Or go up to the 60th floor.

Even if the negotiation goes well, you still have to climb to the 60th floor, and even if the negotiation fails, you still have to climb for special benefits.

But what if another non-combatant appears in this situation?

“Ugh.”

I can only sigh.

I hate to even imagine it.

But even in the worst case scenario, there is a card to overcome.

Madness.

The strongest summoner in the LSSR class.

When I think about it that way, it’s quite a powerful presence.

If only he were a little less crazy, I would have joined.

If only they hadn’t said things like, “Kill the powerful, start a war”

‘Should I call you?’

You may have changed your mind.

If so, it is something that can be used as a hidden card.

My heart is gradually tilting.

I want to call.

Now I want to check what you think.

‘Hey! It’s nothing, I’ll just call you once.’

Let’s do it.

Joohyuk opened the status window catalog list.

“Summon Mad Demon!”

[The mad horse has been summoned.]

Spot!

The mad horse finally reappeared.

Still, one aspect is fresh.

“Summoner, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you again.”

“…Yes. Me too.”

Actually, I’m not very happy about it.

“After being forcibly released by the summoner, I’ve been reflecting a lot. What on earth did I do wrong?”

oh!

Something is different.

“I realized that such an extreme method is not suitable for this world. There is a limit to how much you can kill a person, it takes a long time, and it also has serious side effects.”

“you’re right.”

oh my god!

Our mad horse has changed.

“…Would you like a drink?”

“I won’t refuse. If it’s something you give me as a summoner, I’ll take it even if it means taking poison.”

Joohyuk took a can of cold soda out of the fridge, opened the lid, and handed it to Gwangma.

Drink it cold.

“It’s been almost a thousand years since I tasted worldly food.”

I really like it.

The smile on his lips proves it.

“Killing all those in power was a stupid idea to begin with.”

“Oh, it wasn’t stupid, but it was a little extreme.”

“Hahaha! That’s right.”

And at the same time.

“I wonder which country is the most powerful in the world.”

If it is a strong country,

“It’s America.”

“America, ruled by a king?”

“No. The President.”

“Aha! I see. Then all I have to do is make the President of the United States a married man and make him follow orders.”

“…yes?”

What about the unmarried person?

“There is something called the Law of the Real Soul. It destroys the human spirit and turns it into an obedient puppet. It is a task that consumes a great deal of mental energy, so even I can only create one person at a time.”

Why more and more?

“All you had to do was use the Marriage Act to make the President of the United States follow orders, instead of waging a war of conquest, pacify the world, and then unify it later. It would have been simple, but you didn’t think about it and were stupid…”

ha.

I’m going crazy.

“The Summoner and I don’t have to get our hands dirty. Of course, there will be great damage from the war, but it is a sacrifice for the greater good.”

“…”

“Let’s get moving quickly. Where is the President of the United States? If we are to wage a war of conquest, we must act now.”

Nothing has changed at all.

“Your Majesty?”

“Go ahead. I’m sure you’ll like it. It’s a plan I’ve come up with after much reflection.”

“You lack reflection. You’re going in the wrong direction. Very wrong.”

“…huh?”

A madman blinking his eyes.

At the same time, Joo-hyuk’s lips opened.

“Summoned.”

“No, why do you keep…”

Spot! And,

[The satisfaction rating of the mad horse was given as 1 point.]

It was a mistake to call and ask.

Forget it and just do a random summon or something.

At that very moment!

Tiring! The front door opens.

“Chung! Summoner Bong’s right hand man, reliable confidant, master of negotiation, Cossack has arrived.”

Huh?

already?

“…What happened? What about the rune for strengthening the trait?”

“Hehehe, hehehehe, hehehehehe.”

The Cossack laughs, as if he can’t stand it anymore.

I felt like I knew without even hearing it.
