[νόμος coughs in vain at your actions.]

[σκιά praises your actions.]

[Κάστωρ bursts into laughter at your actions.] [

Πολυδεύκης praises your actions.]

[απόγευμα criticizes νόμος at your actions.]

[απόγευμα laughs at νόμος at your actions.]

I didn’t care what the reaction was.

However, the situation where they were taking sides was funny in the meantime.

Suzy spoke firmly to the Hunter System.

“Exchange all the gold I have.”

A new window immediately popped up.

[You cannot cancel after exchanging.

When exchanging the full amount, you can exchange it for 34,635F excluding the fee.

Would you like to proceed?]

34,635F.

Just seeing that number made my heart race.

The price of the 10-tier item 〈(Annihilation) Justice Boots〉 I saw in the ‘shop’ was 3,000F.

And I clearly remembered that the prices of other items weren’t that different.

If I had that much money, I could buy about 10 tier 10 items.

I had been thinking that there was no way to significantly increase my power without recruiting other team members, but it felt like I had found another answer.

‘It’s helpful that I saved money because I had nowhere to spend it.’ It did

n’t matter if I didn’t have a single penny of gold left. After all, that money was money I had saved with Elaine.

If I had to spend money to keep her as Elaine, I wouldn’t mind spending it.

And as a hunter, there was no reason to spare money to become stronger.

If I could, I would gladly take all my assets.

‘If I were to ask the blacksmith to forge a tier 10 weapon, the old lady would break her back.’

Just thinking about it was fun.

Suji smiled and answered.

“Do it.”

A window showing the amount of gold appeared before my eyes. The number that was hard to read at a glance suddenly decreased to 0, then a new space expanded below and changed to F units.

It was exactly the same number I had been notified of in advance, but I checked it again just in case, and my head buzzed and I heard a voice.

– It would have been better if you had listened to me first.

He was grumbling like a child.

Suji snorted.

“Now? What are you trying to scam me with?”

– Look at this. There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding. I am neither a bad nor a wicked being. The reason I wrote “Laurel Tree” was because I wanted to help. There is nothing wrong with listening to me.

Suji smiled, pulling up one corner of her mouth.

No matter what he said, he was someone who helped Soo-ji while balancing the bet.

Maybe he could rely on him. However,

the fact that he kept everything secret and that he got anxious when Soo-ji had too much made him untrustworthy.

“Let me hear it. What do you want to say?”

– … … If you break the balance too much, you know. The force that tries to balance it again will work.

Soo-ji nodded.

I know.

I just got a few good tier 9 items and sent out 3 S-class waves.

If I buy 10 or so tier 10 items, will I get an SS-class wave?

But now, I don’t have the luxury of worrying about the aftermath.

And Soo-ji had something to believe in.

It was the improvement of the skills of all hunters in South Korea.

Even if it was only for a few days, experiencing the Tower of the Sage was a huge opportunity for advancement. Especially for those who stayed in dungeons for a long time.

Just by forming a team and learning how to defeat bosses over and over again, your fear of higher-class monsters will be greatly reduced. That will directly lead to skill.

And the national buff I got on the 85th floor was also quite useful.

Considering that the time given to me was not short, I planned to rely on other hunters for about a week.

“I’ll take care of that part. You just mind your own business.”

– … … I warned her clearly.

“Just open a shop when necessary. Did I say something too great?”

– There was chaos.

A thin, soft sound like the wind mixed in my head.

It seemed like she was sighing.

Suji laughed.

It was funny how he acted like he would give her anything to climb the tower, but then tried to control her so she wouldn’t have too much.

They would bet with similar people, but the two parties to the bet weren’t that different.

These guys and the Messiah.

They were each other.

Soo-ji changed the subject.

“What’s F read?”

– Huh?

“G is read as gold. What’s F read?”

– Franc, I think.

“You know a lot about human currency units. Don’t joke around, be serious.”

– Farewell.

“Farewell, you say?”

– Yes.

“Why is the currency unit farewell?”

– Fantasy. Fallacy. Anything is fine. If it means illusion and failure. It’s just a unit that humans made up for easy understanding.

There must be many beautiful and pretty words that start with F.

Farewell, illusion, failure.

Why did he only talk about those?

“Is there a meaning to that?”

– That’s hard to say.

“Is there a standard for the items and equipment displayed in that store?”

– That’s hard to say either.

It felt like it was starting again.

Even though it was just a store.

“Again, you’re just going to pass it over. Can’t you tell me because this is a hint?”

– … … You’re the first one to dig this far so persistently. Honestly, if you look at the amount of information you’ve reached, this is more than all those times. Without any memories, that’s amazing.

Soo-ji looked at the number 34,635F floating in front of her eyes.

The guy was wrong again.

If he didn’t have any memories, he wouldn’t have been able to get that much money.

He just didn’t go through so many regressions.

Soo-ji had Soo-ji’s memories.

Memories of struggling at the academy, memories of meeting the current team members one by one, memories of laughing, crying, and talking with them.

If he had watched the repeated life from the first to the 100th time, then this time would definitely have the least amount of information.

However, Soo-ji liked who I was now.

She turned her gaze to Elaine.

As always, when she looked at him, her eyes easily met his eyes that were looking at her first. Their gazes lightly entangled.

According to what he said, the current Suzy was ultimately a product of failure.

But that was still good.

He wanted to take the current Elaine and the current himself to the future.

Perhaps it was strange that he had to struggle like this to obtain something that was obvious.

“That’s it for now. I’ll think about the purchase list in advance and ask them to open the store. You can go and discuss the plot until then.”

– … … Anyway, I get the suspicion.

The guy grumbled and shut his mouth, perhaps feeling sorry for not being able to gain Suzy’s trust.

As a signal that the conversation was over, Suzy waved her hand toward the team members and put down the terminal she was holding, and the team members looked curious.

“What is it? Even talking to Noah is full of strange things.”

“Are you talking about ‘Great Beings’ again? Are you going to that store again?”

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Saint and Peace rushed in and asked questions, and Nature, who was lying quietly on one side, twisted her body as if stimulated by the words ‘Great Beings.’

Suzy cleared her mind to explain everything one by one.

It would be right to start with the conversation she had with Noah.

Suzy raised her left hand and pointed to Nature.

“I remember that I personally suggested recruiting Nature as a team member, but it’s embarrassing to say this. I think Nature is related to the cracks.”

“… … cracks? How is that possible?”

“If it’s related to the cracks, does that mean it’s involved in creating the cracks?”

Saint and Elaine asked one after another.

Saint and Peace were like that, but it was a little funny to see Elaine ask with wide eyes.

“Elaine didn’t know?”

“I never even thought about that.”

“Elaine doesn’t know anything.”

It was good that he, who acted like he knew everything, had information he didn’t know.

Getting his hands on things he hadn’t experienced would be a clue that would allow him to move one step further than the failure Elaine had experienced.

Suzy gestured toward Nature.

“I think we’ll have to interrogate him to find out for sure. I’m a little worried that he might kill someone again in “Messiah”. Or he might pretend to be loyal to “Messiah”.”

Nature wiggled her body at Suzy’s words.

“Ugh, ugh!”

It seemed like she was gesturing that she had something to say. But it was hard to just let her off the hook.

Peace grinned and raised her hand.

“But how can you fool people like this and act like a teammate? Before the Messiah kills you, should I take care of your hand first, boss?”

“Peace, please stop. The person you tortured last time begged to be killed and left. How can you do such a horrible thing to a living person? Such barbaric torture would not be allowed in any country.”

Saint immediately brushed his hair back and agreed.

Suzy barely held back her laughter. Since when have you been the boss, and since when have you been torturing people?

At this, Nature moved her body more violently as if she had something to say.
