Chapter 1661 – [End Content Is Too Difficult]

First, it was just me and Eden who went down to Babel Island. To be honest, I was thinking of going down alone, looking around, checking out the atmosphere, and then going down together, but Eden said she wanted to go down too, so I had no choice.

Well, it’s going to be noisy as expected. Eden attracts people’s attention with just his appearance, leaving out everything else.

“Me too, status window!!!!”

“Oh, yes. I’ll give it to you.”

Eden also received a status window from Thiem. However, since Eden is also a transcendental person, the status window is not normal and there are bugs in the skills and status areas. You can think of it as being roughly similar to me.

“I have the title of Master of Trials on the 40th floor.”

“The trials you made are good trials if you place them in the lower tier. Eat them to gain stats and skills, and then it will become easier later.”

“That’s true. Still, I guess this has some authority, right?”

“Oh, about that…”

“Shortly.”

“Hoeeeeek!!!!”

First, we cut off Thiem’s long speech. If I had left it alone, I think we would have talked for about two hours.

The Jade Emperor has a blunt style, but I don’t know why he is so lively and talkative. No, it’s nice to see that he’s lively, but I just wish he could fix the talkativeness.

“Each layer has a master of the trial. In short, it’s like an NPC. They are given authority based on their own judgment and play a role in coordinating various aspects of the trial. However, you are invited from outside and they are beings I created. They live in the tower and rarely come out.”

“It means that there is something.”

“Yes, as my agent and face madam, the owner of the first floor often goes out.”

“Who is the owner of the first floor?”

“Would you like me to show you for a moment?”

When Thiem gestured, boom!!! And someone appeared.

They said it was someone, but it was an animal, not a human. A pure white giant rabbit about half the size of an adult male. Not only that, but with his pocket watch, suit, and monocle, he looked like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

“Oh, Thiem. What’s going on? Oh, it looks like these are the customers I heard about.”

“Dipda is a big rabbit!!!!!”

“Nice to meet you, guests. My name is White Rabbit, and I am the owner in charge of the trials on the first floor. Please take care of me.”

Although it was large, it had fluffy fur and was decorated like a human, which was very cute. Not only Eden, but all the other family members in our house are also interested.

Ah, so I have no choice but to use it as a face madam. Cuteness may vary depending on aesthetic sense, but there is no one who dislikes it, because everyone will like a cute rabbit like this.

“It’s the first floor trial. This is the first trial. What kind of trial is it?”

“It’s the easiest trial. You clear it by killing one small animal in the field. And as a reward for clearing, you can use the game system. The reward is being determined to kill a life and being able to use the most basic system, so it’s a worthy trial as a first start. Isn’t it?”

“It’s like a white rabbit inviting you to Wonderland.”

“Ah, I took the motif from there. I quite like the works created by humans.”

“But if that’s the reward for clearing the first floor, what’s the second floor?”

“The reward for clearing the second floor is the inventory system.”

“It seems to be better planned than I thought.”

“Because striking a balance is important.”

Anyway, now I have decided to go out in earnest. Since Eden also received the status window, I gave away the Babel points I had.

How much did you give me? Roughly 95 million points? I have 5 million points and gave 95% of the money that TM gave me to Eden, but honestly, I feel like this is a bit much.

The period of stay here will be less than a month at best, but 5 million points is worth about 5 billion won in Korean money. It may be Zion, but I don’t have the confidence to spend this much money for that amount of time.

At the very least, I don’t know if I’m going to spend all my money on things like gacha or gambling… And if there’s a ceiling, I’ll play gacha with the characters I want.

Let’s get over the small talk for now, Eden and I made up our minds and got ready and went down to the waiting room on the lowest floor of the Tower of Babel, that is, on the 0th floor, not even the first floor. Surprisingly, there was something like a waiting room here, and all the places with 0 in them are places where you can rest. However, the 100th floor is an exception.

Well, that’s what the last floor is like. I’m the one who created the ordeal there, but whatever.

When I wanted to go, I was immediately taken to the 0th floor in the blink of an eye. I don’t know if there was a separate portal or something, but there were dozens or hundreds of similar ones besides the place we came down to.

“This body!!! Appears!!!!!”

“It’s not Momotaros, what are we doing?”

“Well, it’s a little too much to be amazed that it’s my first time. It’s nothing else, but I’m afraid someone will understand.”

Eden whispered softly so that only I could hear.

Once we moved here, people’s attention was focused. The gaze is focused on our Eden, not anyone else.

Even though there were over a thousand people gathered here, it was natural that he would stand out among them. No, who does Eden look like? Rather, in terms of appearance alone, he is superior to Zion.

“What is it? Is it an upper climber?”

“I heard that there is an item on the upper floor that increases the charm stat…”

“No, at that point, no matter how much you use that item, the original plate has to support it.”

“Where do you belong? Is there a guild? If not, should I suggest one?”

Voices are heard from all directions. And the language of that voice was not one, but many.

I don’t know if it was some kind of major English, but there were also African and leadern dialects mixed in that even I didn’t know. However, the reason I was able to understand it was because of the characteristics of this place.

Even if Thiem created Babel Island and the Tower of Babel, no fool would climb the tower. Since humans are creatures that believe only in what they see, it was normal for them to be skeptical.

However, one of the reasons I was convinced of the existence of the Tower of Babel was because of the characteristics of this place. This is because, although it may not be possible in other places, on Babel Island and the Tower of Babel, no matter what language was used, language was understood. It was all thanks to Thiem’s ​​administrator authority, but from this human’s perspective, it was like a miracle of God.

But it’s really ironic. In the Bible, the Tower of Babel was the cause of the division of languages ​​while challenging God’s feat, but here, God built the Tower of Babel to challenge God’s place, and on the other hand, even languages ​​were unified as one.

In some way, is this something you’re targeting? Seeing as Thiem named the owner of the first floor from Alice in Wonderland, it made some sense. It must have been inspired by various things.

Anyway, Eden and I came out of the waiting room on the 0th floor and were able to look around the outside of the tower in earnest.

“Wow, there are so many different things. Mom will be happy to see it.”

“That’s right. There are many different architectural styles from different countries.”

Even if it is a modern architectural style with its own formality, there are differences in details depending on the country. Although it was built in a state-of-the-art style, there were buildings lined up on the main street in front of the tower that would make an educated person look around and think they were buildings from another country.

Originally, I didn’t know much about architecture, but I learned a lot from Sion. And above all, most of the things on the main street in front of the tower were similar to embassies of each country or had the flags of those countries hanging.

“The thing hanging on the building in front is the American flag.”

“It seems like America is half the world here too.”

“But why are China and Russia next to it?”

“Eden, although China and Russia were divided where you lived, they are still powerful countries in their own right.”

“What is it? Am I in the Lostbelt? Where is Gongsangsu!!!!!”

“Stop talking about Daldongne’s game.”

We began walking around Babel Island in earnest. It was a place where each nation’s home base was divided into separate districts based on the land guaranteed by Thiem, but the culture was also unique as more than 100 nations were intertwined on one island.

One side sells bungeoppang, and the other side sells takoyaki, midiye dolma, and Philadelphia cheese steak sandwiches. It seems as if something without a root is the root.

Among the many street vendors, Eden was interested in Midiye Dolma, which is steamed by putting fried rice in a mussel shell and topping it with mussel meat. The street vendor owner seems to be from Turkey, but perhaps because of the nature of Babel Island, conversation was possible even without knowing their language.

“Oh!!!! This looks delicious. How much does this cost?”

“Haha, she’s a pretty girl. 2 for 1 BP.”

“Really? Then give me everything you have.”

“Yes?”

“Give me everything you have.”

“Ah… Thank you pretty girl!!! Please wait a moment!!!!!”

Midiye dolma is completed by not just eating it as is, but by sprinkling lemon juice on it.

To see if the fruit is expensive, squeeze a lemon cut in half and sprinkle it on. It was a very well-made midiye dolma with the taste of chewy mussels well-roasted in spices and the acidity of lemon.

“You’re good at making it. Moang is a talented person.”

“Because my cooking skill is level 3. And I’m just grateful that you enjoyed it.”

Oh, I heard it was quite delicious as a street vendor, but was it receiving support from the system? Looking at it this way, it seems that Thiem’s ​​intention was successful, as even street vendors are benefiting from it.

Anyway, I watched people walking down the street while drinking lemon juice. There were people who stopped and looked at Eden blankly, but many people just passed by.

There are ordinary people with nothing unusual, but there are also people who are armed. It had a strange atmosphere mixing fantasy and modernity, so it was fun to watch in its own way.

“Mister, it’s my first time coming here, so where should I go to a restaurant with good food?”

“Oh, is this your first visit to Babel Island? Then, if you turn down that alley, you will find some alleys with delicious restaurants. On Babel Island, places that don’t taste good tend to go out of business, so you won’t miss out on anything.”

“Thank you!!! Then I bought a lot… Ah, I ate it all.”

“Thanks to you, I finished early today. See you next time, pretty girl!!!!”

“If there is a relationship.”

It’s a nice place just looking at the atmosphere. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the people here, unless they are just starting out, were using the Tower of Babel game system. Although there may be differences in level, the basic idea was to climb a few floors and use the basic system.

Honestly, if you can use the game system, inventory, etc., It becomes incredibly convenient. Moreover, if you look at it, each city has a portal connected to Babel Island and each person has an inventory, so it is easy to move goods… Oh, is that why the price is cheaper than expected?

Anyway, I walked around leisurely and entered a restaurant alley. There are so many different buildings and delicious smells that it seems like there will be a lot to eat.

“Shall we go to a suitable place first? Where do you want to go first?”

“There’s something like a Korean restaurant over there. Let’s go from there.”

“Are you still eating Korean food here?”

“I’m curious what the Korean food here is like.”

“I guess so.”

The Korean food eaten in Korea cannot be the same as the Korean food eaten in other countries. Sometimes things are changed to suit local tastes.

A similar example is something like marathon soup. Korean malatang is popular because it is made based on beef bone broth, but mainland malatang is actually spicier and more spicy, and the broth is not drinkable. Looking at things like that, I wonder how the localization is done.

When I entered the store, the inside was crowded as if it was a well-known and well-run store. However, the seats are comfortably arranged, so you don’t feel stuffy or uncomfortable.

It was like something I’ve experienced many times in the past: the employee who faced us was shocked to see Eden, was speechless, and looked embarrassed. Now that I think about it, I haven’t experienced anything like that since I came out, so it seems like it’s been a while.

“Welcome… Ah.”

“There are two people. Is there room?”

“Ah, yes!!! Come this way!!!”

We followed the staff’s instructions and sat down inside the store. However, when I looked around, there was no menu board or anything like that on the wall, so I thought they were giving me a separate menu, but soon a system window popped up and appeared in front of us, like a store showing menus on a pad.

It looks like it was made separately and has its own design, and it is a futuristic-looking menu board that can display images of dishes similar to holograms. Considering that it didn’t exist when it was a street vendor, maybe you have to open a separate store to use it or something?

“If you order, we will bring the dish to you. If you need anything else, please feel free to call us.”

We leisurely looked at the menu and chatted about the atmosphere of the store and various other things. First, they say they are receiving support from the game system, but people were doing the cooking and serving, so it looks like they are not leaving everything to the system.

In fact, the worst thing is that if you just give it points, it will come out on its own. If that were the case, I would have absolutely hated it, not to mention the taste.

“Cooking is everything from making it to eating it.”

“Maybe because she’s our daughter, she thinks the same as her father.”

Rather than leaving everything to the system, use the system as a good tool and develop civilization. Looking at it, it is noticeable that T.M. Coordinated well.

Anyway, after ordering and waiting a bit, the dish was brought to our table. Perhaps because it is a Korean restaurant, the main menu was basic Korean food… That is, bibimbap, japchae, bulgogi, tteokgalbi, etc., Dishes with relatively few likes and dislikes, even if they were inconsistent. In addition, the liver is less spicy and has a stronger sweet taste.

I think it was probably localized that way. Korea will certainly be settling down on Babel Island, but there will be more non-Koreans than Koreans.

“Still, this is delicious in its own way.”

“In the end, it tastes good because it’s a matter of taste. But…”

If you take a quick look around, there are people pretending not to notice or just looking at Eden openly. There were even people who saw Eden while passing by outside the store and came in without realizing it.

So far there have been no major problems and no one has approached us. I wondered why that was, and Eden came up with a plausible hypothesis.

“Isn’t it because they think I’m a top climber who has somehow raised their attractiveness stat because I’m so pretty? Then they’ll be at a high level, so they won’t be able to approach me easily.”

“That could be possible.”

Does this mean that appearance can also be an indicator of status or level? Then I look like a newbie.

But that peaceful time was short-lived. It seemed like there was a commotion at the entrance of the store, and soon a man entered the store.

He was equipped with good, high-level equipment that was different from what he saw on the street. He spotted this place and stopped with a start. Then he walked straight towards this direction.

… I knew it would be like this. Let’s see what kind of incident will occur.
