Chapter 1669 – [End Content Is Too Difficult]

First, he was introduced as Kang Kwon-tae, and surprisingly, he was a climber, not befitting his title as a member of the National Assembly. Maybe he was at a good level, but he didn’t seem like a weak climber.

Still, he wasn’t a ranker and his level wasn’t exactly outstanding, but he was still at a high level for a person with a lot of money.

But in the end, that too is obvious. If you look, there are no calluses on his hands. He could have been a wizard or a back-up support type, but seeing as he didn’t show any effort, it seems like he was a person who used points or people to attack.

Maybe later, when I face an ordeal that I have to clear on my own, I’ll give up or get eliminated. Oh, so the current level is also stuck at that level?

Anyway, we left Ruri’s company separately and went to a nearby café to talk. Although it is called a café, it is a place where you can talk quietly because the space is divided.

“Hey, thank you so much for taking the time.”

“I asked to talk, so I just set aside time. So what’s your business?”

“I’m asking this before we start talking in earnest. What floor are you in charge of?”

“First of all, you are asking because you know that I am the master of trials.”

“Honestly, it’s a matter that everyone knows. I’m sorry if you were inconvenienced. I apologize.”

Well, actually, I don’t have to worry about that part, so there’s no problem. What’s important is what this guy will say.

“The reason I came to visit you is that the owner of a class that will have a big influence on the tower strategy has come forward. To be honest, aren’t the class owners much higher than those in positions like me?”

“Well… If you ask me, it could be so.”

“Now that I think about it, I don’t even know his name. What should I call you?”

“Oh, I’m the worst. Just call me whatever you want.”

“Are you a class owner based in Korea? If you think about it, the owner of the first floor was also a white rabbit-like person who took a motif from Alice in Wonderland. Looking at it that way, it wouldn’t be strange to say that there is a class owner who took a motif from Korea. “

No, this guy. It’s surprisingly cultured. No matter how well-known a person of that age is, even Alice in Wonderland knows it.

What should I say about this ambiguous feeling… That’s it.

He’s not a good human being, but that doesn’t mean he’s trash. The emotions I felt when I first saw him came from there.

There are many people who are biased towards one side, but such ambiguous people are rare. On the contrary, I think the saying that there is a middle ground is the best fit.

“I’m asking again what floor are you in charge of?”

“Well, what floor do you see?”

“Hmm, I don’t know much due to the lack of information, but it appears to be around the 70th or 80th floor. Oh, if it was higher than that, I can only say I’m sorry. I guess I don’t have enough eyes to see.”

Instead of the lower layer, they select the upper layer and float it on purpose. If it’s less than that, it means he looked better, so you can buy a score, and if it’s similar, it’s not really meaningful.


Just one thing. The mistake was that the top layer he least expected was the layer I was in charge of.

“The class I am in charge of is…”

“Oh, yes.”

“It’s the 100th floor.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s the 100th floor. The final layer of the Tower of Babel. I was the one who created the boss that sent a warning in China before and created that ordeal.”

“Uh, no, that’s… Um, uh…”

Less is better, and going in the middle is good because it’s flat, but I don’t think I’ve thought of the worst case scenario. Next article: Of all the people in our group, I am the most ordinary person on the outside. On the other hand, when it comes to strength and such, I am the strongest.

He was sweating profusely, as if he knew that this was an unexpected and difficult opponent. It was quite interesting, so we watched for a moment and were silent, then I slowly got up from my seat.

“Let me go to the bathroom for a moment.”

“Oh, yes.”

It’s nothing special, I just need to get some information for a moment. Even in my opinion, he is an ambiguous person, and it is difficult to decide what to do with this guy, so I had to listen to the story from someone who knows.

Meanwhile, I whispered to Ruri separately. I’m sorry for contacting you when you’re so busy, but I can’t help it since you’re the person who knows best.

-What, I just left and something happened?

“It’s nothing else. I met a person who is a member of the Korean National Assembly. Do you know Kang Kwon-tae?”

-That guy? It looks like he met up with the guy who made a fuss earlier and was waiting for him.

“It looks like we know each other? So what kind of person are you?”

-Uhm… If I could describe it in one word, hypocrite?

“It was somehow ambiguous.”

Not a villain. However, that does not mean that if you are not a good person and are a hypocrite who does false good for a purpose, my senses cannot help but react ambiguously.

However, if the bad feeling was relatively small and the vague feeling was the main thing, it seemed like a level that even a hypocrite could tolerate. When I see filthy politicians or people like that, I feel dirty, like looking at filth.

In the first place, if you get into politics, you can’t be completely clean. It is extremely rare to find a clean person even in politics.

-You probably know, but that old man is a climber. Well, not a ranker, but still mid-level? A little below that? Anyway, that’s about it. He entered the tower early on and became a climber.

“You seem to have good action skills.”

-Well, at that time, I was not even a member of the National Assembly and was in the midst of preparing to enter the political world. Then, I climbed the tower, and it seemed like the existence of climbers would have a big impact on society, so I climbed the tower, became a climber, became a politician, and got elected. We are active in climber human rights and have quite a bit of approval rating.

“You picked up a lot of things there and ate it?”

-That’s true, but it’s at a level that’s acceptable. And personally, I can’t look at it negatively because I have been indebted to it before.

“Do you owe me something?”

-You know what I said before. They said they tried to get Yohan to re-enlist in Korea. But he was the one who helped me by talking about the human rights of climbers.

“He probably didn’t help with pure intentions.”

-Yes, Yohan and I immigrated to Babel Island, and because of that, we influenced the public opinion of the high-ranking people who tried to get him to re-enlist, which caused his approval rating to plummet and became a powerful figure in the ruling party. Because he was so indebted to me, I took a few pictures of him, and even though he had immigrated, word got out that he was close to Ranker, so his approval rating went up, and he became a celebrity.

“I’m really greedy, but I guess I should say I’m also capable… I’m a bit selfish, but I still tend to work.”

-Honestly, even if you’re not a top 1% politician, wouldn’t you be in the 20th percentile?

“That’s right.”

Most politicians in the world have no ability and are greedy, which is why they are destroying the country. It is understandable to see that the minimum wage increase was decided by rock-paper-scissors, and the salary increase for National Assembly members was passed unanimously.

However, Kang Kwon-tae is a person who is greedy but also capable. They may be taking care of their own greed, but at the point when they came to meet me, they are pursuing the public interest to some extent, so they are much better than those tax thieves. At least pay the tax you get.

“How should I handle it?”

-Do it in moderation. Since I’m just snooping around to see if there’s something to pick up anyway, why not give me some crumbs? If you get the right amount, you will be able to remove it.

“Okay, I’m busy, but thanks for talking to me.”

Since I roughly figured out what kind of guy he was… I came out of the bathroom and went back to my seat. If you give it some time, it shows its true form, but seeing as it doesn’t run away, I don’t know if it’s greedy or timid.

As I sat down, I smiled slightly and asked him his purpose. It’s obvious what you want, but it still gives you a choice.

“Yes, then Mr. Kang Kwon-tae. What do you want from me?”

“Ahaha, it’s nothing else…”

“If you ask for a hint for conquering the 100th floor, it’s just the same as what you saw. The 100th floor boss has already appeared in China, so I don’t have anything to tell you.”

“Still, there’s not just one boss, right? There’s actually a gimmick that helps with conquering…”

Oh, you mean something that often happens in games? It is a gimmick-type boss that is difficult to catch with normal methods, but becomes easier to catch when you use specific means or items.

I didn’t answer and just took a sip of coffee. When he realized the meaning of my not saying anything, his expression hardened.

What I’m not saying is that it’s just an ordeal that can be cleared by simply defeating the boss with a gun, without any items or gimmicks to help you defeat the boss. This means that the monster that slaughtered nearly 10 million people in a matter of hours and slaughtered nearly 10 million people in just a few hours must be captured without any external help.

At least I didn’t say the worst thing about it is that you should catch it solo, not at a party. You will find out about that automatically when you enter later, so there is no need to tell you that.

“Of course, since it was brought out as a warning, it won’t be that strong inside the tower. Still, it won’t be easy.”

“Ah, that’s a good thing. Considering the connection between the climbers who have grown so far and the party… Hmm.”

The truth is that I already knew everything and there wasn’t much to tell. So I decided to ask just one more question.

Actually, I feel sorry for TM if I give spoilers, but this isn’t free either. Instead of telling her, I plan to ask her to look after Ruri’s convenience. Since you came here and helped us a lot and suffered because of it, we should pay you back in some way.

“Anyway, since we know everything on the 100th floor, let’s just ask one more question. Among the tiers that were announced separately, what is the most curious trial?”

“Hmm…”

Since I told him about the 100th floor, I thought about asking him to tell me about the trials created by Keter on the 95th floor just before that, but after thinking for a while, he chose the lowest floor, that is, the 40th floor created by Eden.

Well, that is actually the correct answer. The hint for the 40th floor is the one that can be used quickly as it is the lowest. Moreover, it is easier to increase the distance in the beginning rather than in the second half, and only then can you get ahead of others.

“Tell me about the 40th floor, the 40th floor ordeal.”

“That was an ordeal created by my daughter, and it was quite a coincidence.”

“Oh, is that so? Among the people in the group, there are people who look like a mother and daughter. Is your daughter the one who looks like an elementary school student with silver hair?”

“That’s the child’s mother.”

“Uh…”

“The older one is the daughter and the smaller one is the mother.”

“Oh, yes. I see. Excuse me.”

He seemed to have seen something indescribable. After coming out and the relationship between Eden and Zion became well known to the world, Eden saw Zion as her mother even though it was legal, so this reaction was unexpected.

Anyway, since I wanted a hint for the 40th floor, I only told you the basic form of the trial and how to clear it.

“It is better to enter the 40th floor as a party rather than as an individual. You can clear it by hunting or gathering in various environments to collect ingredients, cook them, and share them with party members to accumulate points and reach a certain level.”

“It’s a strange ordeal. What happens if I clear it as an individual?”

“There is no outright penalty for entering alone, but if you enter as a party, there is a party bonus, so it will take a long time to clear alone.”

“Ah, I see. Then the clear reward is…”

“The ingredients and dishes you eat there are rewards. Depending on the ingredients, they give you status or skills. Likewise, if you eat them with your party, you get a party bonus.”

“Oh, it’s not an ordeal that will take a long time to clear if you want to, but if you think about the future, it’s a class where you have to invest time and stay for a long time. Um, I understand. Thank you very much for letting me know.”

A slightly sinister smile appeared on his face. He is probably thinking about how to use that information.

But, if it satisfies personal interests while also guaranteeing the public interest, I have no intention of tackling it. Because there are no innocent victims, and it’s not like you’re sucking up other people’s blood. Moreover, I plan to leave in a few days.

Having said all I wanted to say, I got up. Oh, and it’s a bonus to tell the story of Ruri.

“I’m just going to get up now. My family is waiting for me. Oh, and can I ask you a favor?”

“Just tell me anything. I’ll do my best.”

“Nothing else, please take care of Ruri’s convenience.”

“Hmm, as the master of trials, are you favoring a specific climber?”

“It’s not that, it’s just that we know each other personally. Even before I became the Master of Trials… No, isn’t it? Anyway, we’re not strangers, and I’m worried.”

I met this Ruri a few days ago, but it’s hard to say anything since I can’t say I don’t know her at all. Still, I got help and made fun memories thanks to Ruri, so I have to help.

… On the other hand, there were things like this that caused a mess, but let’s leave that aside. There isn’t enough time to tell the story of Ruri’s accident.

“If you say so… Yes, I understand.”

“And Ruri will know much more about strategy information, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him to be friendly with her.”

“Huh? Then, information on the 40th floor strategy…”

“Well, if you want to attack at the government level, wouldn’t it be better to have a ranker?”

Even if Ruri joins the company later, it will be difficult to make any profit on the 40th floor with only production professions and two rankers. Especially if he targets the hidden boss.

Even if it is not a major power like the United States, it would be enough to have support from Korea, which is ranked among advanced countries. With this, it seems like I have somewhat repaid the debt I owed to Ruri later.

… No, but why do I feel like I’m working even on vacation?

I feel dirty after taking my vacation and coming back to work!!!!
