. The great explorer 'Pesis'

Numerous inhabitants of the Tower of Trials.

Some of them especially remained in Jinhyuk's memory.

Ellis of the Ataraxia family, Rick Hennessy, a middle manager, and the Dark Emperor of Heavenly Demon Protestantism were typical examples.

And the man in front of them now was no less than them.

The great explorer Pesis.

'Except for me and the divinities, he is the one who knows the most about the Tower of Trials.'

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

It looked like it was looking at the trees, but in reality, the main purpose of Pesis wasn't anything like that.

it's waiting

The players who exert a great influence on the tower.

A little more precisely... .

'To talk to me.'

Jinhyeok, who pretended not to know, took off his shichimi, and approached Pesis in front of him.

Are you studying Isrian seedlings?

Oh! Do you know about Isrian seedlings?

It is a tree that is used as a raw material for the juice that cures 'sarcoma cancer', one of the incurable diseases. It is not yet complete.

Hey, hahaha. It's amazing to see other people out there like this, and even more amazing the knowledge you have. Yes. That's why I was looking into this sapling.

no matter what

It's strange. If it's for the purpose of treatment, would you be aware that you can't make a cure with a seedling of this size, right?

At Jinhyuk's words, Pesis's mouth widened.

You'll just have to be frustrated.

It was because he was seeing precisely the value of the seedlings he had chosen to attract attention.

Also, his real name came out, so for Pesis, the first button was sewn completely wrong.

Hahaha. You were a lot more interesting than I thought. Indeed, the wait was worthwhile. Jinhyuk Kang player.

Did you realize that you don't need clumsy acting?

Pesis let out a good laugh.

'Yes, I'm glad too.'

Jinhyuk, who smiled brightly, activated the 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

T-tiring!

A status window with details of the opponent appeared along with a cheerful voice.

Lv12

[[Copy Conditions: Fasciss, attracting the attention of many divinities, is an explorer of the tower, and at the same time a messenger spreading the news of the tower. Both conditions must be cleared to copy the ability of Pesis.]

1. After a while, please listen to Pesis's 'request'.

2. To recruit Pesis as a teammate, you need to show how good you are to your current teammates. Continue to emphasize teamwork and boost morale. When more than a certain level of satisfaction is met, you will be able to catch both birds: copy ability and recruit companions.

'I think I'm doing pretty well... The system is also profound. It must be something different from the human standards.'

Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the status window.

The first thing that caught my eye was the unique ability.

Pesis' unique ability 'floor floating' has the deceptive feature of being able to freely cross each floor under the 41st floor.

It means that you do not have to deal with boss monsters or meet certain conditions to move to the next floor.

However, the only thing that could not be seen as good was that those with this ability had to give up all of their combat skills and had a fatal flaw.

'Irrespective of the battle, you should enjoy purely exploring the tower.'

No need to be disappointed though.

You can't copy the unique ability, but there were some useful skills among them.

'Let's see... .'

Jinhyuk has his taste buds.

skill 'synergy'.

When using two or more skills at the same time, it is a passive skill that increases the stat by 10%.

'This is an essential skill for multi-skill users like me. You should definitely get this.'

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating fast at the thought of firing up my already improved skills.

Most of all, it was thrilling to be able to copy the abilities that other people cherish and cherish day by day.

great.

I had a script written in my mind about how to do it.

So, what were you waiting for us for?

Haha... It wasn't with bad intentions. Actually, I had to meet several top players and residents. Jinhyuk is the fifth guest I met this week.

An explorer whose main purpose is to wander the tower... meet people

This is quite surprising.

Perhaps the system's request is also related to this.

"What kind of guest are you talking about?"

Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.

OK.

Ranking of the top.

Pesis said something unexpected.

...the ranking of the top?

Yeah. As Jinhyuk-nim knows, there is no metric that can compare the rankings between the numerous residents of the Tower of Trials and the players who have joined outside the Tower, at least officially.

In the past, even in the Tower of Trials, only the top rankers were vaguely weighed, but the exact ranking was not grasped.

However, now that it has become a reality, a new standard is about to be established.

That's right, by the system.

'It's fun. Is this a different point?'

I graduated from rank game a long time ago, but this is quite interesting.

It is not simply a numerical ranking, but the value of the influence that the ranking means.

That will be a huge factor in climbing the tower in the future.

'The system and divinities are also related, so the higher the ranking, the more benefits will be given.'

Raise the reputation of the base you are currently occupying, and reinforce defense facilities, etc.

In negotiating with the residents, the weight of the remarks is given, etc.

Well, it must have been to figure out the rankings that have been waiting for us.

Haha. That was a big part. In fact, aren't the members of 'Goin-Mul Corporation' led by Jinhyeok so fierce? I thought that we had to meet to fill in the blanks in the rankings.

"We are a small elite, but so how do we participate in that ranking?"

Oh! Are you saying you're the Primary God by cooperating with the investigation?

Of course you should.

In order to achieve the first copy condition, you have to grant the request anyway.

Of course, saying that fact does not need to diminish Pesis's favorability.

'You are destined to be forced to join our company.'

And at that very moment.

[Members of the small and medium-sized force 'Go-Man Corporation' have been incorporated into the ranking measurement.]

[People included in the ranking are Jinhyeok Kang, Alice von Ataraxia, Andria, the 5th floor boss monster, Yuseong Cheon, ???(Sweet Potato), and Teresa de Laurencia.]

A blue status window appears.

After Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, Wolyoung, T-Bone, and the 5th Elemental Spirit also did not make it into the rankings.

The names of Melena or Dwarf Blacksmith Orun, who were at the level of an executive in the Mine Association, were also nowhere to be seen.

How high is the replacement standard?

Jinhyuk said it was absurd, but Pesis exclaimed with exclamation over and over again.

Hey, it's amazing. I'm sure so many people will be included in the rankings! I've met a lot of people lately, but it's the first time I've ever had a member like this.

A lot?

All, of course, there are so many! The rankings that can be included in the ranking are up to 1,000. There are giants in the upper echelons. They are included in the ranking, but there are also beings that I have not met under my authority. He's also amazing as a player, especially among the players, there aren't many cases in the rankings."

Pesis, who was talking urgently, added a word.

Of course, ranking does not mean combat power because various other factors such as achievements and influence are at work, but except for a few special cases, it is generally considered to be in direct proportion.

if so .

It means that the 'the guys' on the top 50 are also on the rankings.

Since Pesis also doesn't know everything perfectly, it would be correct to think that the system manages the whole thing.

That was then.

Why did it take so long? Did someone you know do it?

mosquito!

Elise and the sweet potato, who were waiting behind them, approached.

Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa, who was at the back, also looked at Jin-hyuk and Pesis alternately with curious eyes.

Ah, sorry. It's been a long talk because there's something quite interesting. You guys should take a look too. They say this is the latest system introduced.

Jinhyuk gestured towards the air.

Huh? What is it?

mosquito?

"Ranking ?"

Wow. It's amazing.

Everyone's eyes turned upwards.

[???Sweet Potato (28th), Ellis von Ataraxia (29th), Kang Jinhyuk (117th), Teresa de Laurencia (231th), Cheon Yuseong (688th), Andria (815th)]

[There may be parts that the system cannot grasp due to various variables.]

[Reliability 97.85%]

Come on, wait! Are you kidding me?

Alice immediately raised her hand high.

What's wrong? I think it's just right for me.

That's right! What the hell is right! Why am I ranked lower than that stupid reptile?

As if she could never comprehend, Elise began to run rampant on the road.

mosquito!

On the other hand, the sweet potato, which received a high ranking, waved its tail in Jinhyuk's arms with a proud expression.

That's right, sweet potatoes are counted when they manifest themselves. You know what about ancient species?

Well, then what about me?

You were like that in your prime. It means you're not like that now.

What would you say if you had a good story about the tiger smoking days?

Not now.

"That's the case but I'm pretty useful, too. If I do it right, I can do better than that anemone."

I know. What made you feel so embarrassed. Not like you.

Jinhyuk lightly placed his hand on Alice's head.

For a moment, I had the illusion that Alice had become calm.

"I have a fairly high ranking."

"Mr. Teresa wasn't she highly regarded for her rise when she 'fallen'?"

Ah... it's because of that friend...

Theresa bowed her head in embarrassment.

It seemed that it was not easy to accept the black version with a completely different personality from his own.

understand it

To be honest, that version was too burdensome for me.

The parties must feel like they are facing a black history at every moment.

Finally, Cheon Yu-seong also showed his molars and growled low.

"There is no way that the gap between me and you is this wide."

"Are you arguing that you didn't know how to beat me just a while ago, and you already completely forgot about it?"

I never said that.

Wow Is this kid carrying an eraser in his head?

I'm genuinely curious how you got into medical school with that head.

No matter how you look at it, sticking a knife to the CSAT supervisor's neck seems more realistic... .

Okay. Let's not talk. I'm an idiot trying to get you to get a robe.

huh.

Cheon Yoosung turned around coldly.

As expected, the atmosphere between Jinhyuk-nim and colleagues is good.

Does this look good?

"Fighting is only possible with people you truly trust."

Pesis, who was smiling brightly, stretched out.

Well then, let's hurry up, because we can't get them too late and lose their lead role in Goin Corporation.

"To lose it who else is coming besides us?"

Did you not know? Another faction was invited to the banquet held at the Imperial Palace right now, besides Jinhyuk.

At Pesis's words, Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

"If it's another force maybe?"

Yes. The last Demon Clan, Belmariel. Those who got rid of him are now heading to the Imperial Palace. Maybe Jinhyuk-nim has heard of it too.

The name 'Gandara'.
