Chapter 93 – 93. Labyrinth Pioneering Project

After checking the lab infiniteyrinth taken from the gangster survivor, I looked at the accessories they had.

There were two rings and one necklace. First, I checked the item that the tattoo pig was wearing earlier.

[Warrior’s Old Ring: When fed with the lowest grade magic stone, physical abilities are doubled for 1 hour.] [Durability 4/7]

“Hmm..”

This is a duplicate item. Moreover, it was the same as the item that Yeongsik was maintaining in quality.

“If this happens…”

The warrior’s old ring, which is currently maintaining its quality, can be destroyed and replaced with another item. Because the same thing came out.

Or, since there is another identical item, you can hit it with a disassembly hammer to see if it disintegrates, or it might be a good idea to just give it to Ayuni, who is a stat junkie. Even duplication is not a bad thing. It’s actually better because it’s an item with good performance.

It’s much better than something with dubious performance.

“Good from the start…”

Next is the ring the blonde gangster was wearing.

[Ring of strength increase: When worn, strength increases by an additional 3.]

“Wow…”

Increasing strength stat by 3 is a pretty good effect. There wasn’t even a need to feed it magic stones or durability. The durability feels like it decreases significantly every time you use it, so you have to be careful at all times, but since this has no durability, it was a pretty good ring that allowed you to get an extra 3 stats just by wearing it.

“This is good..”

I tried it on right away. At first, my finger didn’t go in well, but at some point it went in easily. It feels like it naturally adapts to the thickness of my fingers. I think it may be a mystery because it is an item.

As I was wearing it, I felt like my grip became slightly stronger. I just have to have this. The stronger the power, the better. Now, I think I can use this to deliver crushing blows more quickly and simply.

“The last one is…”

This is the necklace the pierced woman was wearing. I felt uncomfortable because there was a lot of blood on it, but I decided to wipe it on my clothes and check the details.

However, upon closer inspection, I saw that the decoration on the necklace that I thought was a crystal ball was an eye. Red-colored eyes. It feels like the devil’s eyeball has been pulled out and placed inside a glass bead. It was a much more unpleasant item than I thought.

[Watcher’s Faded Eyes: Detects the gaze of a hostile entity looking at you. You can even determine the approximate location.] [Durability 4/10]

“Shiva…”

This was an incredible item that allowed the opponent to roughly understand the hostile entity and its location when they first discovered it.

It is truly a counter-level item to Heejeong’s detection and detection skills such as field of view expansion. If you wear this, you will be able to quickly spot enemies targeting you from a distance.

Isn’t this an incredible item that allows you to react immediately to the opponent even after being observed first?

“I guess I should wear it…”

As for the blood on the necklace, just wash it off with water. If you wear this, you will be able to prepare for long-distance attacks to some extent, so it is appropriate for me to wear it when walking around outside.

If deserters or their equivalents are looking to shoot me from afar, I will be able to recognize them immediately.

We may be able to launch a counterattack.

“Oh..”

When I hung the necklace around my neck, it was quite heavy.

Now I have checked all the items obtained by killing the awakened people. All that’s left is to open the green reward box obtained by sacrificing their bodies.

“Please.. Something good..”

I opened the box as if I was playing gacha. I hope a great scam item comes out.

“Oh… Huh?”

[Rune Stone of Evolution: When used on a weapon, it greatly increases durability and grants 2 random effects.]

It’s up! I already have one, but it’s okay to have another one like this. Reinforcement items are always welcome. Moreover, it is an evolution rune stone.

“Hey..”

With this, there are now two evolution rune stones. In addition, there are about five strengthening rune stones, so if you evolve and succeed in strengthening all five times, you will be able to obtain a truly amazing weapon.

I only have one item so I couldn’t use it because it was a waste. Now that I’ve found it again, I can use it.

“Ugh… Okay… This is it.”

As expected, Awakened farming is a real mess. I only robbed three people, but I gained a lot. Of course, I threw away the bag full of the cat’s body, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Because when the blond gangster threw the bag at me, the cat corpses inside the bag came pouring out.

The zombies are already coming so I have to leave quickly, but I can’t just pick up the cat corpse left on the street.

Well, anyway, I’ve had enough, so now I have to attack the base.

I put the Rune Stone of Evolution in my pocket and opened the gate.

Now that I’ve confirmed everything I can, I’m going to explore the infinite labyrinth in earnest this evening.

******

As I entered the base, Saeyeon and the black snake wrapped around her wrists greeted me. Kang Ji-yeon, Seung-hee, and Hee-jeong were not seen.

“Is Inho here? Come on. “You worked hard.”

“My sister had a hard time too.. But Jiyeon..”

“Seunghee and Heejung just brought me into the room.. That didn’t go well, did it?”

“Yes.. I went home and.. There was no one there. Maybe..”

“Ah..”

Even after Kang Ji-yeon entered her labyrinth, she could not stop crying. She cried for a long time and was now grabbed by Han Seung-hee and Lee Hee-jung and entered her room.

I felt like my mentality was very shaken. I needed to keep a close eye on this. If you suddenly turn around and commit suicide, there is no answer. So Seunghee and Heejeong probably stayed next to Kang Jiyeon to watch.

This is a time when it is not strange for someone to decide to die.

It is relatively peaceful inside this labyrinth, but outside it is nothing short of hell spread over royalties.

Moreover, I did a lot of farming in the beginning with Saeyeon, so I don’t have to worry about food right now, but this isn’t infinite and it will run out someday.

Hope is slowly disappearing. It’s not strange if you want to die. That’s why mental management is important. So as not to die suddenly.

So that I don’t die in a place I don’t know. If you’re going to die, I want you to tell me. Because I need to get skills.

You may think that I am a calculating person, but since I am in a position to lead a group, I cannot help but be calculating.

Even the death of a colleague must be managed.

Maybe even the death of someone I love.

“Inho, let’s eat first. Are you hungry? I cooked some food. Come here quickly.”

“Sister.. Thank you.”

Saeyeon took me with her and she prepared me a meal.

I was quite hungry after walking all day, but after eating a good meal, I just wanted to rest for a while.

Of course, I couldn’t rest even if I wanted to. My companions haven’t returned yet, so I can’t just rest. Maybe he’s waiting for me to come rescue him.

“But sister, other people…”

“Everyone is probably still in the labyrinth. “I just came and had dinner and went back.”

“Aha..”

“And this. Yeongsik wrote it down and told me to give it to Inho. After reading it, the labyrinths are different for each entrance, but I think I summarized them roughly.”

“Are you Yeongsik? Oh..”

After thinking about random things for a while and digesting them, I took over the notebook that Saeyeon had given me.

It was filled with information about the labyrinth recorded by Yeongsik. From information about discovered hostile creatures or monsters to objects that should not be touched or places that appear dangerous.

“Huh…”

It appears that the party members were numbered in order, starting from the left entrance. Among them, numbers 1 and 2 are the graveyard area of ​​the immortals, and numbers 3 and 4 are the beasts’ den. Probably number 5 is the battle of the warlord.

First of all, it was written that number 1 appeared to be a contaminated area and entry was not recommended. It seems that no one in the group has gone in. This seems like a high-level area, so I have to be careful.

Next, if you go straight down the spiral staircase number 2, you will reach the cemetery area. The first floor is okay, but the second floor has a lot of locked doors and traps installed everywhere.

Lastly, it was written that a strange energy was felt from the 3rd floor and the strategy was given up.

The really dangerous guys are probably crawling out from the 3rd floor. Perhaps a spirit such as a ghost or evil spirit may pop out.

These guys are helpless if you don’t have a way to fight against Astral Sword or similar, spirit-type monsters.

Next, beyond door number 3, there are many monsters flocking to attack. It was written that each individual was weak, but there were so many of them that they gave up trying to attack them. Also, the road seems to be a very complicated natural cave. If you go in by mistake, you won’t be able to get out. I have to be careful.

Lastly, number 4 appears to have a dense forest. Moreover, it was written that a person presumed to be a prisoner had been found.

It seems useful for procuring food because there are many herbs and animals, but the deeper you go, the denser the virgin forest becomes, and I guessed that those who ignore the hunter’s incense burner may pop out.

“He’s a prisoner..”

“I saw it earlier. It looked like some kind of lizard. And he was holding a wooden spear.”

“Wow.. If those guys are swarming around..”

“No matter what, I think Inho can kill them all, right?”

Haha. Really?”

Like my sister said, unless I’m a zombie that’s the end of the world if I get bitten, I’ll probably be able to get my child back to school if I just use my skills well. Of course, if the opponent hides and shoots a poisonous needle or comes out with a strange skill, I would be in danger too.

First of all, I confirmed all the information about labyrinths 1 to 4. As expected, it was rewarding to entrust the group with exploring the labyrinth.

How nice it is that they collect information like this on their own without me having to run around trying to do anything.

“Then the remaining number 5 will be the Battle of the Warlock.”

“Huh. Everyone is in there now. There are dolls moving around inside, and it looks like there are a lot of facilities. When I heard it, it was the workshop owner’s pendant? “I think I’ll be able to use the facilities if I walk around wearing that.”

“Really?”

“Huh. Junho said it while we were having dinner earlier, and it looks like there will be a power unit and water tank inside. But it looks like some conditions must be met to use it.”

“Oh..”

This meant that if the conditions were met, water and electricity could be used inside the labyrinth. As expected, my prediction was correct.

The safe zone added when creating the labyrinth and the forerunner’s workshop are exquisitely interconnected, so the forerunner’s workshop is densely packed with facilities for the safety zone.

The best. While others are shivering in the cold… I can live here without envying others…!

This is largely due to Yeongsik, who discovered the golden gate. Thanks to Yeongsik, we were able to change the golden gate into a green gate and create an infinite labyrinth that is easy to live in.

“Now, the battle and defense of the warlock will be the top priority point of attack.”

“Huh. I heard there’s a facility management room deep inside… You’ll just have to go down to the second basement level first. It seemed like the entire first floor had been explored. Now, here.”

“Is this… A map?”

“Huh. “Hyuna and Junho drew it.”

“Wow..”

It’s truly touching. We filtered out all the strange people and only those who accepted who were in good condition, and even though there were five people gathered, there was no trash.

“This is seriously shit..”

I stood up again, stroking Saeyeon’s head.

Then Saeyeon came into my arms.

Little Saeyeon is cute.

“Are you going already?”

“Yes. We need to quickly catch up and help. But it’s late today, so… Let’s see, I’ll be out in two or three hours.”

“Huh. Hehe. Then, I’ll prepare it so you can wash and rest. Come back.”

“Yes.”

After giving Saeyeon a light hug, I took only her weapon and quickly entered the battlefield of the former brat.
