Joo-hyuk and his colleagues returned to the penthouse.
They put the table and chairs back in their original places.
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s crazy.”
Lajix, who became a self-made man.
Two things have changed.
First.
Earth items are placed in Lajix’s subspace backpack.
It’s not like you can’t bring Earth objects into the tower at all.
There are also permitted items, such as clothing, shoes, hats, smartphones, body cameras, and guns.
This is called a “possessory judgment.”
A small, light object that can be held in one’s hand.
However, it was impossible to store even the smallest items in the top-only inventory.
It’s something the player carries and enters.
The top-only inventory only contains items received from the top.
Now everything is possible.
As long as the size is appropriate, there are no limitations.
An all-rounder and all-round porter.
You can put anything in Lajix’s backpack.
Second.
Item detection ability.
When it was rare, Lajix could only smell the ore.
But now that he’s become a Ssul, his item-finding skills seem to have advanced by two levels.
So, the Blink ring and its fragments would have come too.
Joo-hyuk took out a ring from his inventory.
It’s full of scratches, perhaps due to the passage of time.
Fortunately, it didn’t rust.
“It’s a blink skill, so where can I try it?”
As I put the ring on, ideas about how to use it popped into my head.
A kind of teleportation.
But long distances are impossible.
The limit is about 3 meters.
“Blink!”
Flash.
Joo-hyuk, who had been in the living room, appeared in the kitchen.
“And!”
Let’s continue.
Blink, blink, blink, blink…
Flash, flash, flash, flash…
Joo-hyuk’s new appearance showed up here and there in the house like a ghost from a horror movie.
“Ugh, I feel dizzy.”
“Wow,”
“This is truly a wonderful transformation.”
“The warrior has less to worry about. The summoner is safer.”
Did you use it about five times?
It can be done 10 times in a row.
It says to charge every two hours, but don’t use it all up.
And an unidentified rune fragment (1/7), and an unidentified ticket fragment (1/5).
According to the item information, the rune is 1/7th of a piece, and the ticket is 1/5th of a piece.
The runes that Joo-hyuk knows so far are the rune for leveling up, the rune for increasing the level of the victim, and the rune for strengthening characteristics.
Tickets include top-jumping tickets, skill cooldown reset tickets, multinational top dragon tickets, and grade-confirmed summon tickets.
Of course, this isn’t all.
They said that as you go up the tower’s floors, items that weren’t available before will appear.
What if the unidentified rune fragment is actually a trait enhancement rune?
What if the unidentified ticket fragment is a skill cooldown reset ticket?
What if these pieces came together?
“Isn’t this the greatest of the greats?”
Actually, there is something I have been thinking about while conquering the 60th floor.
The fact that opportunities to receive special benefits are disappearing.
There are currently 61 Platinum Badges in your inventory.
If everything goes according to plan, you’ll get special benefits on the 64th floor.
After receiving it?
The 69th floor is next.
If you use the multinational tower ticket, you can go to the 68th floor.
However, you cannot attack floors 67 and above without any preparation.
You have to slowly climb up to meet the deadline.
When do we go up to the 68th floor?
There is only one ticket left to use the multinational tower.
But what about Lajix’s abilities?
Runes and tickets, which were previously only available as special benefits or tower raid rewards, can now be created through “collecting.”
Now that you know, how can you just stay still?
First, you need to find out if runes and ticket pieces of the same type can be combined.
“I guess I’ll have to go into other floors too. To find the pieces.”
The summoned people nod their heads at Joo-hyuk’s suggestion.
“What about the 61st floor? It’s the upper floor that hasn’t been conquered yet.”
It’s a good idea, but you should also keep in mind the S++ rank strategy.
“Let’s go there with the Holy Sword.”
After coordinating the schedule with Deputy Director Jeon Gwang-il.
“Then should we go to the 60th floor? I think there will be a lot of deaths there.”
“Well.”
Not a very good choice.
The 60th floor is where the Wyvern Lord and the Venomous Wyvern appear.
Of course, there will be many dead people.
But the question is whether it remains intact.
“The 60th floor might have all the corpses and items melted away because of the poisonous pool.”
“Ah! That’s right.”
“That is indeed a wise decision.”
“Whoa!”
So what’s the best choice?
“Let’s go to the 59th floor. This time, let’s not attack the wyvern and just explore for items.”
“Pressure!”
[Enter the 59th floor of the Black Tower in South Korea.]
As soon as you leave the safe zone.
“Mr. Lajix, please.”
“Huh!”
Degurururur, Lajix rolled at high speed.
Joo-hyuk also used his shadowy steps to chase after them.
The lightning wyvern floating in the sky didn’t even care.
Cossacks, Gobang, Gyeondalrae, and Veronica also stayed up all night, protecting each other with their rifles.
It was quite a large space.
And yet, Lajix rolls along so well.
Right then!
Stop!
Then it stopped rolling.
“Later?”
Looks like he smelled something.
Stop!
Take a golden pickaxe from your backpack.
Started digging the ground.
“You found it.”
What is it?
Item? Fragment?
A tense moment.
Lajix stopped digging with his pickaxe and lowered himself into the deep hole he had dug.
“Whew!”
He took out a bent stick.
What?
Pick up the stick that Lajix gave you and check the information.
<The Rotten Elf World… . ???>
Effect: Broken.
Limitation: Not repairable.
“Hmm.”
It looks like it’s made of wood.
Elf world, what? I can’t confirm it anymore.
“What is this used for?”
Then Gobang stretched out his hand,
“I think the warrior knows. I will show you.”
“Is it so?”
Joo-hyuk handed the stick over to Gobang.
“This is the bow used by vegetarians.”
Bow?
“If you bend it like this and hang a bow on each end….”
Moment!
Stop!
A stick that breaks without warning in the middle.
“…Uh.”
“Omg!”
“Oh, it’s broken.”
“This.”
“Ah!”
Lajix began to tremble and tears welled up in her eyes.
I worked hard to get it out.
“After a while… .”
The Cossack became angry and chased Gobang away.
“I knew this would happen. You were just bragging about your strength without any sense, so Gobang needs to take responsibility. The Lajix workers will never forget this.”
“Your Majesty! How can you be so reckless! How can you so easily destroy the thing that the most important servant has found with difficulty? Even cutting off your finger to apologize would not be enough!”
“Destruction of supplies is a felony. This is a military court. Sergeant Veronica, under military law, you are under arrest. Prepare for 100 days in the brig.”
Gobang looks very embarrassed.
I stepped back, sweating profusely.
“I, the warrior, the warrior… , I, I’m sorry.”
Oh my.
What a desperate sight.
A gentleman who grabs the basilisk’s tail and throws it on the ground.
“Okay, stop and go find something else. It was a mistake, so please be patient with it, Mr. Lajix.”
“Huh.”
The situation was quickly resolved when Joo-hyuk intervened.
Degurrurur.
Lajix went out exploring again.
Stop!
I smelled it again.
Again with the pickaxe, thump thump thump!
This time?
“Whew!”
Lajix raised his small hand in a flash.
“Oh!”
It was a piece of stone.
Then?
I received it quickly and checked it.
<Unidentified Rune Fragment (1/6)>
The rune fragment is correct.
However, the color and material are slightly different from those I collected before.
The number of pieces in the finished product.
Before it was a gun (1/7), now it’s a can gun (1/6).
I tried putting two together just in case.
“It’s not sticking.”
Different rune fragments.
There’s no need to be disappointed.
Something similar will come out someday.
Lajix continued to explore.
As a result, one more ticket piece came out.
But again it didn’t come together.
“Is it possible to only collect fragments?”
It’s not going to merge at all from the beginning?
And then.
“Whew!”
This time, a piece of paper.
“Good job.”
Joohyuk took the piece and matched it to the original ticket pieces. Swirl,
“Huh?”
Finally, the pieces came together.
The item information was also a piece of an unidentified ticket.
<Damaged???… Ticket (2/5)>
It changed like this.
“It’s stuck!”
“It fits like a glove. It’s amazing.”
“That’s all. Thank goodness.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Quarterly officer! Thank you for your hard work.”
It has become certain.
Collecting pieces of the same type of paper makes a completed ticket.
The same goes for runes.
It’s all thanks to Lajix.
I can’t believe how cute it is.
Joohyuk said as he hugged Lajix, who was now covered in dirt.
“Mr. Lajix.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t go anywhere and stay with me for a long time.”
“Hoeeeeee…”
“Get ready to wash!”
“Whew!”
A clump of fur rose high into the sky.
“Don’t raise it too high. It’ll be a Wyvern addon.”
“After a while?”
Now I have nothing to worry about.
The Lajix of Susual,
He was the very embodiment of privilege.
Beijing, China.
Top Attack Special Intelligence Unit.
Even within Chinese political circles, few people are aware of the existence of this department.
Even the central party officials don’t know.
Of course.
The job is to kidnap players from other countries and use them to conquer Chinese towers.
Only a few people know about it, including the Chinese president and a few members of the Standing Committee.
Director General Lai Yuan, head of the Special Intelligence Service, was receiving a report from Vice Director General Xiao Jun.
“Did you find out?”
Chief Li Yuan with an indifferent voice.
Xiaojun answered, sweating profusely.
“We have compiled a list of all players in Korea. We are currently investigating players related to the keyword ‘Gobang’ mentioned by Crown Prince Bin Salah.”
“Joy!”
Chief Li Yuan continued speaking with a laugh.
“So you don’t know yet?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Let me ask you something.”
Gulp.
Xiaojun swallowed dry saliva.
“It’s the 59th floor. They say they managed to conquer it somehow with the help of the Russians, but do you think our players will be able to break through to the 60th floor with their current level of skill?”
“…”
Xiaojun couldn’t answer.
Because I know it’s impossible.
“I can tolerate one failure, but not two.”
Failure.
The incident where special forces brigade soldiers who had been sent to infiltrate Korea to kidnap elite players died.
The Northeast China Special Forces Brigade led by Deng Guanlin is the most elite operation team.
They have never failed a mission so far.
This is not a team that will ever be defeated by the likes of the National Intelligence Service, and even if it were to be, it would be helplessly annihilated.
But then it happened.
By someone unknown.
“Xiaojun, you go to Korea yourself. Do you think it’ll be over if you just sit here and give orders? Bring the S++-grade Korean strategy recorder with you no matter what. If you fail, you’ll die there.”
“…All right.”
Japan was personally taken care of by Prime Minister Kawaguchi.
“Mobilize the entire Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office immediately. Don’t just bring the chaff, bring the kernels of truth.”
An essential presence for Japan’s fate.
“And look into the political world as well. No matter how much money it costs, find out who the owner of the Holy Sword is… It could be the same person.”
It wasn’t just China and Japan.
All the countries that were gradually moving up moved simultaneously.
Go to Korea.
Who is the real identity of Gobang, is the S++ rank strategy recorder true, and who is the real owner of the Holy Sword.
Crown Prince Bin Salah of the United Arab Emirates also entered the country via Incheon International Airport on a private plane.
Reporters gathered like clouds because I said I would come in advance.
Bin Salah smiled and answered reporters’ questions one by one.
It was a very unusual thing.
“Your Highness, why did you come to Korea?”
“We plan to discuss joint development between the Korean government and the United Arab Emirates.”
“Is this a request for temporary naturalization for the future conquest of the 61st floor? Or is it a loan for the Holy Sword?”
“It is not a temporary naturalization. However, I am considering lending the Holy Sword.”
Also a question about the high room.
“What does Gobang mean? Is it a person’s name? Or is it a group name?”
“Gobang? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“But in the interview…”
“I never said that. You must have misheard.”
The reporters were persistent, but Bin Salah firmly denied the allegations.
“What are your future plans for Korea?”
“Nothing is planned. I’ll stay at the HG Hotel for now and then decide.”
“What is your expected departure date?”
“That hasn’t been decided yet.”

It’s already been three days since we searched for the top.
I searched the top two floors thoroughly since this morning, but I didn’t get many results. Several items are broken, corroded, and non-functional. If there was just an explanation that they could be repaired like the Holy Sword, I would fix them and use them, but it is clearly written that they cannot be repaired.
The pieces just wouldn’t come out.
I guess I’ll have to go up to a higher floor.
Wouldn’t there be more of them on the 60th floor?
Anyway, I used up all my chances to enter the top today. The summoned people were hanging out in the penthouse.
Tiring!
Suddenly, a message notification sound came on my smartphone.
It turned out well since I had nothing to do.
Joohyuk went down to the apartment’s underground parking lot and looked for the car.
“Welcome.”
“Yes, Deputy Commissioner.”
Joohyuk climbed into the passenger seat.
“I came because I have something to tell you.”
What is it? Is it any good?
Jeon Gwang-il handed over two large paper bags placed on the backseat of the car.
“This is…”
“Yes, they are high-end luxury bags made by HG Fashion. One is a men’s pouch, and the other is a women’s handbag.”
Oh!
A bag that is out of the ordinary at first glance. It’s so gorgeous, with rainbow leather mixed in.
‘But it stands out too much.’
How do you go out with this?
‘Mother, father, what should I give you?’
It might not be appropriate for their age.
“And this too…”
Jeon Gwang-il showed a card that looked like an invitation.
“Here’s an invitation. The Wildflower & Vasily Showcase will be held at the HG Hotel in a few days, and quite a few people have come for the management office. Many elite players are also expected to attend.”
A showcase,
Celebrity events that we only hear about through word of mouth.
“…Oh, a lot of celebrities will come, right?”
“Yes, because it’s a showcase. It seems like they mainly invite top stars.”
It means you can see the people you’ve only seen on TV when you go there.
‘Wow… that would be amazing.’
My ears are ticklish. My mouth is watering.
“If you don’t feel like it…”
“No, I’ll take it for now.”
Joohyuk received the invitation and carefully put it in his pocket.
“Oh! Vice Minister, what is the schedule for the Holy Sword reservation?”
“In three days, players from Norway will visit. A week later, Russia and Saudi Arabia are scheduled to visit.”
Three days later.
“Then, after the Norwegian player uses it, can you give me the Holy Sword for a bit? I might need it.”
“Ah! Are you planning to conquer the 61st floor?”
“Yes. I’ll try going up. Just to the 66th floor.”
“Okay. I’ll bring it to Team Leader Lee Min-ah in three days.”
I think it would be a good idea to try exploring the pieces on higher floors.
That’s all for now.
After saying goodbye to Jeon Gwang-il, Joohyuk went back up to the penthouse.
Tirik.
He opened the door and went in.
Gobang was watching TV with a stern face.
As soon as he saw Joohyuk:
“Summoner, this is strange.”
“Why?”
“My name keeps coming up on TV.”
“Huh?”
Your name is coming up?
As it turned out, it was an interview with Crown Prince Bin Salah of the United Arab Emirates, who was visiting Korea.
Joohyuk glanced at Gobang.
But Gobang’s expression didn’t change at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.
It’s really shameless. It’s shameless.
At this point, I think he deserves to get hit with one more hammer.
Joohyuk spoke to Gobang with a calm expression.
“I wonder if someone stole your name?”
“Theft? Are you saying they stole it?”
“Yes, I wrote Mr. Gobang’s name instead of my own.”
Gobang’s face turned bright red at those words.
“The warrior is furious, for stealing the sacred name the Summoner gave him. He is very angry.”
An ominous atmosphere.
“…What would you do if you knew who it was?”
“I’ll break their waist in half.”
That’s too much.
“Wouldn’t just a slap be enough?”
“Okay, I understand. If the Summoner thinks so, I will put up with it.”
Joohyuk said with a sly smile.
“What happened was, I was trying to negotiate a rune to enhance my traits…”
Spot!
Gobang came running with shadowy steps and whispered:
“Look, Summoner Bong.”
“…Why?”
“Please look at me just this once. I will live a good life from now on.”
Well.
What should I do?
Should I save him?

Author’s Note
It’s not a configuration error.
The settings regarding possession judgment appear from Episode 6 onwards.
Body cams, smartphones, gas masks, and pistols—
You can bring things like this in. However, they cannot be stored in the single-top inventory.
ㅠㅠ.
I think the explanation was lacking.
Sorry for the confusion.
