Top of Hanamja Strategy 11
Not one, not two, no, three. It starts from the 16th floor.
[Enter the 16th floor of the Black Tower of the Republic of Korea.] [Physical abilities have been improved according to your level.] [Trait and combat skills can be used.]
Physical abilities further enhanced. The Cossacks moved forward to receive the mission. Joohyeok followed behind. However:
“Gobang! What are you doing here, not following me?”
The savage Gobang listened to the Cossack’s words but didn’t even look at him. Gobang just stared blankly at Joohyeok. He has a temper. I think I know who to listen to.
“Follow me, Mr. Gobang.”
“Understood. Gobang will absolutely obey the summoner.”
Only then did the savage warrior Gobang follow him. From now on, I will have to give orders one by one, even though it’s annoying.
[16th floor mission: Kill 30 Goblin Scouts.] [Completion time: Within 5 hours.] [Completion condition: Goblin Scouts 0/30] [Failure condition: Death or abandonment of the mission.]
The forest became busy as soon as the mission was given. Rustle, rustle. Something was moving.
“Summoner Bong, activate the energy shield. You should also prepare the Shadow Step skill so that it can be used immediately.”
“All right.”
Right then!
“Keep going!”
“Keeeeeek!”
Goblin scouts suddenly appeared. There are a lot of them, so they must have been in ambush.
‘It looks like there are well over 50.’
Spit! Spit-pit! Something like pitch-black needles flew towards the three people—from the front, from behind, from the ground, from above the trees.
“Avoid it!”
Knock knock, knock knock.
“I will stop it!”
The Cossack charged towards the forest, using his dagger to ward off the poisonous needles flying at Joohyeok. However:
‘Huh?’
A savage warrior stood still even after being stung by a poisonous needle. It didn’t even stick properly. Let’s shake off the body once; the poisonous stinger fell like corn.
“Mr. Gobang? What are you doing? Don’t just stand there—go out and sweep everything away.”
Moment!
A savage warrior’s eyes sparkled like a wild beast’s.
“I will obey your orders. I will kill them all. Even human assassins.”
“Except for Mr. Cossack.”
“Except for assassins.”
A patient who needs a lot of care. But:
Thump thump thump!
“Kuaaaa…”
The savage warrior roared and entered the battlefield. The goblin scouts hurled their poisoned needles, but they bounced off the thick skin. Snap! As the scout’s head was caught in a large hand, Ugh! Phew! A savage warrior just blew it up.
“…What?”
It was tremendous, evil force. Is that a person? The Cossack dodged the poisonous needles and cut off the goblins’ heads, but the barbarian warrior Gobang had no such luck. He ran at a terrifying speed, thumping, as if a poisonous needle or an arrow was flying towards him, grabbed its head, and blew it up. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Or he grabbed their legs and beat them. Whirl! Thud! Thud thud thud!
Terrible force. Meanwhile, Yaman looked at Joohyuk with an innocent expression, saying, “Am I doing well?”
“Okay, well done, Gobang!”
“I was praised by the summoner. I am better than the assassin.”
That’s true. At least in combat. ‘That savage warrior is only rare?’ At least SR—no, you could get SSR. ‘It might be rare because I’m stupid.’ That’s probably it, because being stupid is a fatal flaw.
Gobang dominated the battlefield. Goblins flew. This was because they were not winged but were thrown by a savage warrior. Even the beautiful maple trees were uprooted and blown away. Even a rock as big as a house flew away. Goblins who couldn’t avoid it were crushed to death one after another. The Cossack almost got crushed by the rocks.
“Hey, you bastard…,”
You did a good job picking. A savage warrior who could take all of the goblin scouts’ poison dart attacks with his bare body. As the aggro was drawn, the Cossack’s attacks became more fierce as he became free. Joohyeok also took out a mace from his inventory. The energy shield had already been activated. Ting! Ting ting ting ting! Poisonous needles fell after hitting the shield.
‘…Wow! What would have happened if there had been no shield?’ Is it good? ‘They’re doing energy shield experiments here.’ Certainly, the special rewards are all awesome. No wonder I can’t give up the platinum badge.
‘Then what about skills?’ I’ve been practicing alone so far, but what will it be like in real life? ‘Let’s go.’ Joohyuk took a step forward.
‘Shadow footsteps.’
SWAT! Joohyuk disappeared in an instant. The afterimage left in that place. The poison dart hit the shadow and passed through. Pfft pfft! SWAT! SWAWAWAT!
‘This is so sweet.’
Is there a better skill for running away than this? There was a reason why the Cossacks were told to learn from this. I’m getting more and more skilled. Enough to not be afraid of the stinger. The scouts focused their poison darts on Joohyuk. SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT…, you are just fooled around by the rapid movements and illusive afterimages.
‘It’s fun.’ Much more than you think! ‘Do I have any talent?’ No way! That’s nonsense. At last:
[Notice: You have achieved the S++ level of the 16th floor of the Black Tower (Korea).] [S++ Clearance Reward: Platinum Badge awarded.]
Two is definitely better than one. No, three?
※ ※ ※
Hannam-dong, Seoul.
Director Park Gyeong-su and Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il chatting while drinking warm tea.
Player Bong Joo-hyuk, who recorded the S++ grade strategy.
He also gave him equipment for a very cheap price.
“Whew, I feel relieved. Is Bong Player satisfied too?”
“Yes, it seems so. He informed me that he will climb the 16th floor this evening.”
“Really? It was worth it.”
I wish I could start climbing
And set a record too.
“By the way, should we leave Bong Player’s affiliation as is? Or should we continue to pretend not to know?”
“Pretending not to know seems like a good idea.”
“why?”
“First, it can hide the existence of the S++ strategy recorder, and second, this method is effective due to the nature of the Bong player.”
“Hmm.”
“You can just watch quietly and if something like this comes up that requires support, you can resolve it immediately.”
Commissioner Park Kyung-soo also nodded.
Honestly, I still don’t understand.
I stabbed you like that, saying I’d give you benefits, and you didn’t even blink an eye.
“I’m just leaving work. You?”
“Player Bong said he’ll clear the 16th floor today, so I’ll check and then leave work.”
“Will it be possible this time? It gets really difficult from the 16th floor onwards.”
“Well, if you wait a little bit···,”
Right then!
dripping.
A person opens the door to the office and comes in.
It was Lee Min-ah, a player and manager of the management office.
“Hey, Manager Lee, what’s going on?”
“Oh, it just came up.”
“What the…, Ah! No way?”
“Yes, this is a record of the S++ rank strategy for the 16th floor of the tower.”
“Heh heh.”
I sold you some equipment for cheap and you started raiding right away?
“16 consecutive floors of S++… Is this possible?”
Manager Lee Min-ah answered.
“In baseball terms, it’s like a pitcher pitching 16 consecutive perfect games.”
“What a crazy record.”
It’s not something to be overly happy about.
Would the neighboring country just sit still at this point?
“We must hide the information thoroughly. In particular, we must keep an eye on movements in China and Japan.”
“yes.”
We must also continue to build trusting relationships.
“Form a dedicated team. And include Bong players and their families in the support group.”
What if you could benefit not only yourself but also your family?
Maybe it will be more effective.
“Don’t make a fuss about it.”
“···If we don’t show off, won’t they know that we did it?”
“Even Bong Player will notice. He’s just timid, not stupid.”
“Yes. I will take responsibility and push it forward.”
Commissioner Park Kyung-soo has a goal.
During the remaining term, I must definitely have Bong Joo-hyuk join the elite team.
※ ※ ※
The Korean record for the highest tower climb is 65 floors.
Norway, along with Saudi Arabia, are tied for second place in the world.
On the other hand, China and Japan, which are also East Asians, are far below.
In fact, since information about each floor of the tower is recognized as a public good shared by all of humanity, it is not difficult to figure out where something comes out and what type of mission it is.
The problem is the players.
Since the fate of a nation depends on just one player, securing a skilled player is key.
That’s why there are fierce scouting wars, and talented players are classified as national assets and thoroughly protected.
Yoo Cheol-min, who has soloed the 65th floor of the Korean Black Tower and is currently challenging the 66th floor, is a player coveted by people all over the world.
In particular, the recruitment of Korean players from Japan and China was very persistent.
It was like a silent war.
If player Yoo Cheol-min changes nationality, that country will definitely rise to the 65th floor.
China has a large population.
Therefore, the number of players is also proportional.
China’s Tower Climbing Progress Has Only Completed 58 Floors, Now Trying the 59th Floor
It’s a stark comparison to Korea, which is currently working on the 66th floor after completing the 65th floor.
I’ve tried everything.
The first player to climb will be given the title of hero and a reward…
The production of magic stones is enormous.
As a result, the Chinese economy was prospering.
But the problem is the sluggish climb to the top.
The Black Tower was built near the metropolis of Shanghai, and only two months remained until the deadline for conquering the upper floors.
What if the collapse countdown starts like this?
I can’t just sit back and do nothing.
A proactive response is needed.
The goal is to attract excellent players to their home country through naturalization policies.
So where do we get talent from?
The country next door is Korea.
There are a lot of talented players.
Even if you don’t necessarily recruit the best player in Korea, Yoo Cheol-min, you don’t have to worry about the top team collapsing if you naturalize anyone from the elite team.
Popularization, pride, things like that don’t matter.
That kind of thing collapsed a long time ago.
But there is news from Korea.
Is there anyone who has cleared 16 consecutive S++ floors?
I have never heard of or experienced a player like that before.
Can you stay still?
There are almost no pro-China figures in Korean politics, so they cannot do any behind-the-scenes work, but there are still some who believe in it.
Although they are Korean players by nationality, they are ethnic Koreans of Chinese descent, so they are naturally cooperative with China.
Even now, they are putting forth their best efforts to persuade the elite team and find out information about the S++ strategy recorder.
※ ※ ※
In the case of Japan, it is more urgent than in other countries.
There was only one tower, but its location was a problem.
Japan’s Black Pagoda is located on the west side of Mount Fuji.
Although it is far from a major city, there are observations that if the tower collapses, it will affect the seismic zone.
A major earthquake of the kind never before experienced in the Kanto region could occur.
The sinking of the Japanese archipelago becomes a reality.
Even the Hamaoka nuclear power plant is said to be unsafe, so a tragedy like Fukushima could happen again.
Korea is fortunate in that regard.
Because it’s neither a big city nor an earthquake zone.
So Japan was very jealous of Korea.
Why is our Japanese pagoda located in an earthquake zone, while our Korean pagoda is located in a rural mountain with few people?
Why are Korean players better than Japanese players? Isn’t Japan a country that is recognized as a gaming powerhouse?
When the tower first appeared, Japan was confident.
Top climbing, like a game system.
In Japan, there are many hikikomori who don’t work and just stay at home and play console games.
I thought things like tower climbing would be easy once they awakened as players.
But the results were disastrous.
Top climbing progress: 56 floors.
Last among the three countries of Korea, China and Japan.
Even if we somehow get past the 50th floor, what happens when we get to the 60th floor?
It was obvious that the tower would collapse.
Japan’s choice was similar to China’s.
Bringing Korea’s elite team players to Japan.
Or, you can bring in the S++-grade strategy recorder who’s been making a lot of noise these days.
Fortunately, there are many pro-Japanese politicians in the Korean political world, so if we utilize them, we will soon be able to achieve good results.

16th floor strategy also S++ success.
Cossack said that the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th floors were no problem.
“Summoner Bong, I almost died. You made such a savage, a bastard, into a useful human being.”
To be honest, I wanted to say, “Isn’t he stronger than Mr. Cossack?”, but···,
“Oh my! It was possible because Mr. Cossack led the way.”
“Hehehe, that’s too kind of you.”
“ha ha ha!”
Then he looked at the savage warrior.
“You piece of shit! Stop eating!”
“The kitchen is delicious.”
“Chicken! Is this the kitchen? Chicken!”
“Yeah, kitchen.”
Once the strategy is over, the party is basic.
So I ordered chicken.
I ordered 10 of them, considering the size of the savage warrior, but they disappeared in an instant.
Just pick up a box and pour it into your mouth.
Wagjak, wagjak!
They chewed it all the way down to the bones.
“Summoner, you are a good person. I will give my life if you feed me the kitchen.”
“chicken!”
“That’s right. Kitchen.”
“Oh my god, shit!”
This is just chicken.
The 20th floor is right in front of you.
Assuming everyone gets the platinum badge,
‘What is the special reward?’
Skills? Items? Attribute enhancements?
Anything that can make me safe is fine.
There was also danger to himself during the 16th floor goblin scout subjugation mission.
If it weren’t for the shadow steps and energy shield, I would have definitely been stung.
What if you were naked and had no skills?
Always be careful.
Pride is absolutely forbidden.
