Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 32 Treasure Goblin

Deokchun and on top of a tree some distance away.

I was vigilant in all directions, wearing a ghillie suit made of woven bushes.

A treasure goblin who never knows when and where to appear.

I didn’t know it, but it was clear that it would appear as a 3-star monster.

Although I was nervous as I had never faced a proper 3-star monster.

‘I can catch enough.’

If everything went according to plan, there was no problem.

I kept my seat, hiding my presence as much as possible.

30 minutes like that. -The

bush across from

Sababa Park Deokchun shook.

A face poked out through the leaves.

Long hooked nose, green skin and long ears.

It was the face of a goblin that was flawless.

‘crazy!’

-Koo-goo-gu-guk!

His size increased rapidly with a ghastly sound of bones and muscles twisting.

An unreasonable change that makes you wonder if it is CG in a movie.

“Kiyaaaaaagh!”

The bastard roared.

A green torso, glistening with sweat.

Tight muscles and developed fangs.

Is that a real goblin?

The appearance I knew before is nowhere to be found.

[Treasure Goblin – Awakening]

– Greed incarnate!

– A strong obsession with treasure made him gain power beyond species.

-3-star enhancement. (It can be enhanced up to 4 stars.)

Power also confirmed that he is not an ordinary guy.

I couldn’t help but open my mouth.

Can you upgrade to 4 stars? Where is that!

-Koo-gu-gu-gu!

“Cheup.”

A bloody aura emanates from the person who has finished strengthening.

Truly a 3 star. It is on a different level from the degraded version of the fish-man warrior seen on the 5th floor.

A life that pierces the skin and madness for treasure.

He didn’t seem to have any special abilities, but that meant that he became a monster comparable to a 3-star with just one body, so in a way he was even more amazing.

– Quaang!

The guy stamped his feet. The guy who quickly runs to Deokchun.

It’s time to do the job.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.2]

-Quaaaaaang!

First, take advantage of Deokchun’s distraction and feed him fire chestnuts.

As it was a B-class skill, the effect was obvious.

The one who had been hit in the head at once hesitated for a moment.

“Deok Chun!”

“Gweek!”

Responding to my will, Deokchun ran to me and hugged me.

“Kiyaaaaaagh!”

Is it still 3 stars?

The guy who came to his senses quickly swung his huge arm.

“late.”

I didn’t even flinch.

because.

[Unlocks the gold chroma key.]

[Opens inventory]

It’s because I carried out the operation faster than he rushed at me.

Treasure goblins are dangerous because they strengthen them with treasure in front of them.

Conversely, if you can unlock its reinforcement, it’s just a 1-star rudder.

‘I’m going to go head-to-head with a 3-star just because I’m crazy.’

Deokchun returns to his original color at once.

The Arcane Gem disappeared into the inventory.

-Talk

“Kee Kiee.”

The fist of the treasure goblin flying towards me touched my leg.

There was no damage.

Because the reinforcement had already been released from his body.

It was nothing more and nothing less than an ordinary goblin.

“It’s insignificant!”

– Kwajik!

Without hesitation, he slammed his head down.

A treasure goblin that collapses with the sound of something breaking.

This is all thanks to the stats that have risen with the starter kit.

[Destroy Treasure Goblin (1/1)]

[Quest cleared!]

“I’m glad it went as planned.”

I stroked Deokchun and looked at the notification window.

The operation was simple.

An Arcane Gem, an item that corresponds to a treasure.

In addition, a gold chroma key bought at the shop for 1000 points.

Inherit the Arcane Gem from Deokchun who dyed it and use it as bait.

After that, you see.

[Server first! You defeated the 7th floor boss monster!]

[3000 points will be paid.]

[Starter kit effect.]

[All stats +1]

[Boss monster death confirmed.]

[7th floor monster hides in the hideout. (Remaining time: 47 hours 59 minutes)]

The sweetness of enjoying the rewards while admiring your own wisdom!

I don’t think I’m going to climb the top with this taste.

“That’s it.”

“why. Good is good.”

I scratched Deokchun’s head, who stuck out his tongue, and looked at the sky.

Points are good and stats are good, but this is not the main thing.

[Quest Reward-Treasure Bag]

[Ownership of the treasure bag is transferred to Cho Hyun-soo.]

“That’s right!”

I expected it.

I caught a treasure goblin, what would you give me?

A treasure bag, of course.

-Ugh,

the treasure bag sat down on my hand.

It was a shabby lucky bag the size of the palm of my hand.

[Treasure Goblin’s Pouch (B)]

-Bound item.

– Cannot be opened by non-owner.

-It is connected to the subspace, so it can contain many things.

“What a bound item.”

Its performance and security were comparable to those of high-end items.

Inventory was still lacking.

I’m carrying a bag, but it’s quite worn out, so I didn’t know when to throw it away. I guess I should use that at this time.

Feelings are new.

“When I was outside, I acted as a subspace item myself.”

The days of working as a porter pass by.

Did the subspace bracelet start at 100 million in the Hunter Market?

How can you get something like that for free?

Even this is a bound item.

only I can write

“This alone is a hit, but the content is more important. Hehe.”

Laughter leaks out.

As a treasure goblin, whatever you have in your pocket will be there.

-Ugh,

I opened the pocket with anticipation.

[Acquire the Skill Book.]

[Acquire the Soul Stone.]

[Acquire the Ruins Key Fragment.]

“Oh!”

The space seemed to be distorted, and three items came out from inside.

A situation of admiration.

I quickly skimmed through the information.

First, the skill book.

[Buff Dice (C)]

– Roll the dice to obtain various effects.

– The higher the number, the better the effect.

– You never know what buffs it will take.

“Buff skill!”

this is pretty good

It has a bit of a gambling feel, but it’s still C-class and there are no penalties.

There is no reason to be debuffed because the number is small.

That alone was well worth it.

I immediately opened the skill book and learned the buff dice.

ruler. to the next.

“It’s a soul stone.”

what else is this

First of all, I don’t think it’s worth writing about.

I’m a person who has nothing to do with the soul or anything.

“They look similar to arcane gems, but they feel different.”

how to say Should I say it’s like a dream?

A strange yet warm feeling.

Looking at the black smoke pulsating inside the translucent crystal, I felt like I was being sucked in.

“Ugh.”

I came to my senses and looked away.

It secretly attracts people.

[Soul Stone (???)]

-It has a soul.

-It has been sealed for a long time, so its identity is unknown.

-Maybe react when exposed to something related?

I don’t know how to look at the description.

There is not even a rating listed.

There is no particular reaction to authority.

At first glance, it looks like japtem.

There’s nothing certain, so let’s get it right away.

The treasure goblin took it, so whatever it is, it must be meaningful.

I put the soulstone in the treasure bag.

Then finally.

“The Ruins Key.”

The most anticipated remains.

what are the relics

It is a dungeon that exists inside the tower.

Roughly, it can be viewed as the same concept as a gate, but this is not a dungeon that anyone can enter.

It is open only when there are special conditions or qualifications.

It is just a background that normally exists in the field.

“The difficulty is varied, and the reward is sweet.”

Relics can be understood in these two sentences.

You don’t know what will happen, but you can get what you normally can’t get.

I heard that whether or not you become a high-ranking hunter is determined by the accumulation of these things.

[Key Fragment of Hyaltin Ruins (1/3)]

– A key fragment that allows you to enter the ruins of Hyaltin, the divine kingdom that existed in ancient times.

– Rumor has it that great treasures lie dormant.

-Can be obtained in the growth period.

“Oh oh!”

Descriptions I like.

It is written that there is a great treasure openly.

It’s a rumor anyway.

It’s true that there’s a good chance it’ll be good.

furthermore.

“It can only be obtained during the growth period.”

After all, I was good at hunting while staying on the 7th floor.

If I had gone straight ahead because I was so preoccupied with going up, I wouldn’t have even seen it.

As you can see, there are only 3 pieces of the key.

7th floor. 8th floor. 9th floor.

Can’t you just see the angle?

“Isn’t it something you can get by killing the boss mobs?”

It’s a guess, but I thought it would be like that for some reason.

I got this by killing the treasure goblin, the boss of the 7th floor.

“It’s enough to check.”

You have to go upstairs anyway.

I have to catch them too.

Aren’t they my precious stats and points?

“Okay, let’s get some rest.”

“Geeee.”

-I

slumped down in my seat.

My body aches from fighting all day long.

The system says it’s safe for 48 hours, so that should be fine.

First of all, let’s take a break and write a strategy.

Don’t go out and die stupidly.

“Community open.”

I opened a community sitting on a moderately flat rock.

On the 6th floor, I couldn’t even look at it because I came to the 7th floor to catch goblins because I was fighting the handler.

First, let’s look at what we’ve written before.

“The reaction is not as good as I thought.”

I tasted it.

Somehow, the notification that the attacker title was upgraded didn’t pop up.

I think it was because Baek-hwan was mentioned when talking about the 6th floor.

It doesn’t matter to people who haven’t eaten it, but it’s difficult for people who have already eaten it to accept.

“There are people who eat baekhwan and get better.”

In a way, the policy that saved his life was Safer, but he openly said that memory manipulation was at stake, so it was only natural that he had antipathy.

I guessed it to some extent, so I didn’t pay much attention.

What’s more worrying.

“What about the other kids?”

Lick Nyan Nyang Punch on the crown of bald man.

The question is whether these three ate baekhwan.

It’s time for these guys to step up.

I checked the comment box.

“oh! Hair loss man!”

I was able to see the comments about your hair loss.

[Hair loss on your head]: This is ㅇㅇ. When I asked the kid who ate Baek-Hwan about the tutorial, he couldn’t remember.

“okay. Good job.”

nice First of all, no worries about bald man.

what about the other kids?

[Lick the crown]: Huh? Are you on the 6th floor?

[Hair loss on your head]: No. 7th floor now.

[Lick the crown]: Ah;; I don’t like it. you fell behind

[Your hair is falling out]: Why, why?

[Nyangnyang Punch]: (Nicely).

Judging by the reaction, it seems that the other two have not yet reached the 6th floor.

Well, since the hair loss man said, I won’t eat it.

They’re not idiots either, so they won’t eat anything suspicious.

“uh? wait for a sec.”

I felt out of place.

It’s fortunate that the hair loss man didn’t eat baekhwan.

“How did you not eat?”

By the time I reached the 6th floor, the control of the large guild was strengthened.

I even confirmed that I was eating baekhwan.

Was it a good trick?

Pretend to eat it and put it in your inventory, or secretly hide it.

I don’t know what it’s like in real life, but I don’t think I used my hair like that when I think of the hair loss man seen in the community.

–

I came out of the strategy article and found the traces of the hair loss man.

Judging from the time of writing the comment, it seems that he came up to the 6th floor a little later than me.

If so, it is possible that you have posted.

At that time, there was a big commotion in the plaza on the 6th floor.

Maybe he took advantage of that gap to avoid the eyes of the large guild.

“Yes.”

Looking through the list, I was able to find an article written by a hair loss man.

A hot new article not too long ago.

I clicked on the article.

“…Are you really crazy?”

I couldn’t help but admire.

[Loose hair on your head]: Hyung loosens a tip.

iced coffee. Hello everyone. How are you all?

grow. The body that opened the portal by breaking through a large guild.

What portal are you going through?

no no no

“You said it was the hair loss man who made the fuss in the plaza?”

I couldn’t believe it, but looking at the comments, it seemed like it was real.

-Oh oh! Liberator of the 6th floor!

– This Shem ㄹㅇ monster.

– Push all the way from the square to the portal c.

-Brother, I’ve never written a bad comment on my older brother’s post. Trust me. (Heavy-footed).

-Ah, a little bit. It’s just hair loss.

└ You are now dead.

Although the bad comments are still running.

If you look at the overall atmosphere, it seems to be true.

“Whoa. It’s a good thing.”

I wondered what kind of crazy guy he was, but he was unexpectedly close.

How did you break through?

I couldn’t help myself either.

I read the comments and confirmed what the hair loss man did.

As soon as he arrived on the 6th floor, the hair loss man who turned the plaza into a mess went straight to the portal.

Small and medium-sized guilds and independent hunters, who had already been dissatisfied with the blockade of the portal, rose up and went to the 7th floor.

In fact, it was correct to assume that the blockade of the Sangun Guild had ended in failure.

“No matter how much I was holding the processing officer, it’s amazing.”

“To that.”

Deokchun also nodded.

what. can’t you read too?

“Geg?”

The look on his face as if he was asking a stupid question.

Yes. It’s a spiritual thing, but I’m sure you can read it too.

He’s a pet and he reads my thoughts.

I decided to go over it roughly and turned the contents back to the main body of the article written by the hair loss man.

I was distracted for a while, but the reason I clicked on the article was because of the title.

Hair loss man’s tips.

What is it?

I read the article slowly.

“uh?”

I couldn’t help but be a little flustered.
