The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I watched as I licked the cream on the bottom of the plate and waited.

Of course, what Kirikiri was licking was not an empty plate after I had eaten the cake.

Of course.

I'm not that trashy.

After receiving a promise from Kirikiri not to tease me with my name, I bought him a cream cake.

I tried to ask him what my name meant, but he said Kirikiri couldn't say it was privacy.

“No, my name is my privacy. Why can't I hear it? ”

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh. ”

Kirikiri smiles and gives a rough answer.

I snatched the dish that Kirikiri was licking.

“Ahh, give it, give it! ”

“Will you answer me straight? ”

I received a promise to answer sincerely and returned the dish.

However, Kirikiri only replied that he couldn't tell you yet, and began licking the plate again.

Well, privacy information is expensive.

That's how I decided to move on.

Knowing my name doesn't matter right now.

“Kirikiri, 19th floor, then. ”

Kirikiri is still busy licking empty plates.

I sighed once and bought a candy bar.

“Kirikiri, oh, do it. ”

“Ah.”

Like I said, I handed a candy cane to Kirikiri's mouth that opens his mouth.

I took the plate from the gap and put it in my inventory.

Kirikiri is distracted by the candy in his mouth and doesn't care that the dish is gone.

“If you give me some answers again, I'll take away the candy. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

Another fluffy tone.

As usual, but he's in serious condition today.

“About the 19th floor. ”

“, I'd rather think about the next floor than the last floor. ”

“There are people who are going to challenge you on the 19th floor next, so you need to know the information. And I have my own personal questions. ”

Kirikiri smiles and says.

“When you clear the 19th floor, it's because a new case started, right? ”

You nod.

It's so convenient to have an advisor who can see inside me.

“Of course, even if you lift the curse or wake up the godmother after that, you won't receive any clear rewards. That's normal. The stage is already cleared. ”

“Then why did you leave those devices after clearing them? ”

“After clearing, there are no conditions to see how the challenger makes decisions and moves. I have nothing to do with Clea, but the gods want to know that. What choices do the challengers make? Does the choice match his or her preference? These things."

Understood.

The gods watch the challengers and sometimes give them power in order to finally become their apostles.

The more devices you have to judge the propensity of the challengers, the better.

None of those devices would have ever existed.

How many are hidden on each stage?

However, on the 19th floor, after the stage is completed, we will try to see how the challenger moves in a situation where no reward is promised.

“Unlike Hou Jae Ae, other challengers don't meet a giant ghost until they get to town. In fact, after killing so many ghosts in such a short time, the appearance of giant ghosts was accelerated. That's why the challenger has to stay alive until the godmother wakes up from consciousness. Or run away. Protecting him for an indefinite period of time, risking his life with no reward promised, that's his goal after clearing. ”

“A stage with such a purpose. Somehow it was easier. ”

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

“Well."

“The 19th floor is not an easy stage. ”

Is that so?

It was pretty easy compared to the 17th and 18th floors.

“That's because the Hou Jae Ae is going through 18 floors so hard, the 17th floor is straight through. ”

I thought about it, too.

If there is a challenger in front of me who has passed 17 floors, the difficulty will be much lower than the difficulty of 17 floors that Lee Hyung-jin will face.

“Um... So, about the 19th floor... ”

After saying it out loud, I couldn't think of anything else to say.

“Do you have any more questions about the 19th floor? ”

I was a little troubled by Kirikiri's question.

There were no questions left in my head.

Questions are required to target the stage.

“I don't know.”

“You just want to talk more? ”

I said it once, I'm gonna say it again.

This is how convenient it is to be able to read minds.

Kirikiri sometimes clarifies my thoughts that I did not know.

“Yes, it is. ”

He admitted it.

I wanted to talk to him about the tribes, including Lararira.

I wanted to know more about them.

They were already in the past, but maybe they didn't mean anything.

I laid out chocolate-cookie and milk and talked to Kirikiri for a long time.

* * *

“It's no wonder you can't manipulate souls with your soul-collecting skills. Soul collecting is literally a soul-gathering skill. If you want to move souls, you don't tell them what to do, you ask them. ”

That's what I thought.

How can I be sacrificed for pig blood?

“That's not a bad way either. ”

Does it really work...?

“Or releasing the spirits, giving them something they like, doing something they like.... ”

After hearing Kirikiri's explanation, I had to give up my plan to actively pour out my soul.

I had no choice but to deal with ghosts with claws that could only scream and moan.

“A little closer, and your palm would be bigger. ”

“But it's also hard to write. Then... ”

I'm going to move on to the next question, but Kirikiri has restrained me.

“Wait!”

Kirikiri, who raised his hand to stop me, said with a firm gesture like a traffic cop.

“We're running low on quota. I just have two important questions. ”

It's already the third time today, but the adviser who can read my thoughts is so convenient.

I know my questions in advance, and I can filter out what I need to prioritize.

“Ahem.”

Kirikiri raises his head and shrugs.

“Let me ask you about level-up rewards first. Why all of a sudden there's no Level Up Reward. ”

Since some time ago, stats and skill levels received as level-up rewards have decreased and there are no level-up rewards available at all.

Level up rewards were one of two ways to easily grow stats and skills with clear rewards, so losing level up rewards is a really big hit.

This is the status of my status window.

After obtaining spherical skills to aid skill growth through training and practice, several skills can be rapidly grown.

However, not all skills could be grown in time.

Some skills were in retaliation because they were difficult to grow into Nogada.

That's why I needed more skill growth from level-up rewards.

“Let me make this a little shorter. ”

When giving out expensive information, Kirikiri explains the sentence in the shortest possible way.

I've told you before that even if I use the same quota, I want to tell you as many keywords as possible.

“It's not gone. Your growth has caught up with the system's reproductive system. No offense, but it also means you've got everything you need on your level. Maintain status until some level is reached. Level 51. ”

“You won't get any level-up rewards until level 51. Can you get it after that? ”

Kirikiri scratches his chin for a moment.

“Normally, when your level is higher than level 51, if your level does not cross the next line. ”

Next line.

Level 51 was the first line, so the next line is level 101.

I couldn't predict what my growth trend would be like right now.

“Next question, I need some advice on the 20th floor. ”

After the big Dane on the 18th floor, he decided to take advice from Kirikiri on the next floor.

Even if you are clearing a stage without any crisis, there is a big difference between guessing what kind of trap there is and not having any information.

“It's going to be hard this time, even if it's Hou Jae Ae. ”

“Oh, really? ”

I was a little excited that it was difficult.

“The next floor is the one that needs party play. Up to 6 people. ”

Oooh!

Ohh!

I felt excited.

Like gasoline on fire, expectations for the 20th floor soared rapidly.

Since the 11th floor, this is the first stage that requires party play.

Do you think I've grown up enough?

I was already looking forward to getting stuck in the wall again, like on the sixth floor, or if I could get through the wall even if it was hard.

“54783; … This is not what I expected. ”

Kirikiri smiles as if it were a bit ridiculous.

“The advice on the 20th floor is to watch the back. It's not a complicated stage, so don't worry. And I think it's time to take the elixir. ”

* * *

Welcome to the waiting room on the 20th floor.]

I took the elixir from my inventory and laid it on the floor as Kirikiri advised.

The elixir I received from the master and the elixir I received as a tournament reward, even the last elixir I received from godmother.

I see you've gathered quite a bit.

One question was whether we should take these elixirs now or later.

I thought about it for a while, but I decided to postpone my intake later.

Maybe we can clear 20 floors without taking the elixir.

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: Yo, are you alive? Why haven't I heard from you?]

[Hojae Lee, 20th Floor: Of course he's alive.]

It's been a long time since I heard from Min Hyuk Kim.

It seems that some of the busiest things at the beginning of the round have passed.

I had a lot of things that I haven't been able to talk about for a while.

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th floor: Min entered 89th floor this time.]

Challenger on Izzie difficulty.

With the exception of Lee Chan Yong who died, he is the challenger who reached the highest level.

Such Park Min now entered 89 floors where Lee Chan Yong was stagnant.

89th floor. It was a stage on Easy difficulty that had nothing to do with me, but it was also a stage that felt strangely close.

I found something in common with my appearance blocked on the 6th floor and Lee Chan Dragon's frustration blocked on the 89th floor.

And I was sorry to see him like that.

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: I'm worried about whether I can do it well or not.]

[Hojae Lee, 20th Floor: You'll be great. I hope so. Tell him to cheer up later. I'm leaving for the stage.]

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: Yes, contact me later.]

With Park's best efforts, I started a new challenge as well.

“Go.”

[Welcome to the 20th floor stage.]
