Return of the Frozen Player 597
screening test (2)
“The floor… … Locked?”
While attacking from the 1st floor to the 7th floor.
No, even more so, it was the first time in history that he hadn’t even been asleep for 25 years.
Surrey shook her head.
“I made a lot of noise about it for a month.”
“Really… … No wait, one month? That I’ve been bedridden for a month?”
“Oh, didn’t the bonnyeo tell you?”
“I didn’t.”
You were eating only apples.
Seo Jun-ho asked.
“So what?”
” what?”
“It says to ask the manager here.”
one month. This is plenty of time to ask your manager about the situation and get a response.
However, Frost shook her head.
“As far as I know, no one has succeeded in making inquiries.”
“what? why?”
“I don’t even know. Isn’t that why it’s such a mess?”
Seo Jun-ho immediately turned on the Vita and connected to the Internet.
The articles on the portal site are in his field of vision.
came into
[Where the hell are the managers? A system of unfriendly floors.]
[The 8th floor is still firmly locked, where should the players go?]
[Winter is coming. Is the second sidewalk coming after 25 lost years?]
[Are there any clues downstairs? Investigating players scattered across seven floors (photo).]
It sure seems like a mess.
Politics, economy, society, world, no matter which news category you go to, there are only stories on the 8th floor.
just because.
Seo Jun-ho got up and prepared to go out.
“Where are you going?”
“To Deokgu.”
You probably have more information about this situation than Internet news.
“Yes, we will exchange again when we get additional information.”
After the phone call, Deokgu turned off the Vita and let out a deep sigh.
“You are tired.”
If you are at this level, how hard will the players on the front line work?
He poured the cooled coffee into a sip and began to leaf through the new reports.
“If you don’t want to nag him, you’ll have to find some clues before you open your eyes… …
“If anyone hears it, they’ll know I’m bullying you.”
Deok-gu turned his head in surprise at the sudden voice.
There was a familiar back figure overlooking the night view of Seoul.
“You, when did you come in?”
“About 10 minutes ago? night walk.”
“hey! Even though it’s between you and me, we have to keep our privacy!”
At those words, Seo Jun-ho turned his head and looked at him gently.
“privacy? Are you talking about the text message you had with Skaya earlier?”
“……Kuhm.”
Seo Jun-ho, naturally sitting on the sofa, opened his mouth.
“So, how are things?”
“To be honest, I don’t know.”
Duke shook his head.
“Starting with Grey on the 1st floor and Lazy on the 2nd floor… … All managers are out of touch.”
“hmm.”
There is only one way for players to contact the admin.
It was just using the community’s ‘Customer Center’ bulletin board.
“So now all the players are scattered across the seven floors looking for clues.”
Seo Jun-ho stroked his chin.
“If it was normal, I would have said a word or two even if it was annoying when the inquiries came this far.”
“In other words, are you intentionally avoiding an answer?”
“I think there are three main reasons for that.”
Duke’s eyes widened.
I wondered if this guy, who had only woken up in the hospital bed for a few hours, had already done his calculations up to that point.
“… … World associations and guilds assumed two reasons, but you have one more.”
“two?”
Seo Jun-ho asked with a funny expression.
“Let’s listen. Are you thinking the same as me?”
“Well, people think it’s all the same because they live there.”
Deokgu moistened his lips with his tongue and quickly began to explain.
“First of all, the holy sword that the Heavenly Demon stole. Words went back and forth about whether that was the reason.”
“Great. After all, we should pay attention to that part first.”
“So, the players who are currently exploring the floors are actually searching for the Heavenly Demon as well.”
“Good. Then what about the second reason?”
“This is not the opinion of the association, but the opinion of the players who participated in the 7th floor capture… …
Deokgu looked him in the eyes and continued.
“The opinion is that the level of the players is too low to enter the 8th floor, so they are deliberately blocked.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded.
This also coincided with my thoughts.
“Certainly, the floor master of the 7th floor, Cho Wol-je, was strong. It was because he was a strong man on the level of annihilation.”
To be honest, the attack would have failed without confidence.
The level of difficulty was high enough to be sure.
“Of course the enemies on the 8th floor will be much stronger.”
Then, it is true that it is an unsuitable place for players to be active.
“When I was training in Confession Hall, Reiji once said something like this. Right now, our attack speed is unusually fast.”
“That must mean that the level of the current players is better than expected.”
But strength is always relative.
No matter how conceited a player was on the 1st floor, he could still live on the 3rd or 4th floor.
“If the main reason why the 8th floor is blocked is because of the low level of the players, this will take a lot of time.”
“How much?”
“Well, I don’t know, but in a year or two I’m not sure.”
Even if the players who participated in the raid on the 7th floor were determined and only focused on hunting.
It was my opinion that at least 5 years were necessary.
“Okay. But even there lies a fatal problem.”
Deokgu sighed and recalled the hologram layer in front of his eyes.
“It is the absence of prey.”
Beep, beep.
The lights in Balbortan on the 3rd floor, Trium on the 6th floor, and Frontier 23 on the 7th floor went out.
It was said that none of the three floors remained.
“As you can see by the lights on, it’s okay for low-level players. After they grow at the gate of the earth, you can hunt them on the second floor where monsters are constantly breeding. After that, go up to the 4th floor and challenge Seo Jun-ho. The problem is top-notch players. They don’t have a place to grow.”
At least there was only one place on the 5th floor, Neo City.
“But even the polluted caves in Neo City have already reached 33% purification rate. That’s a whopping 13% increase in the past month alone. in other words,
It means that when the purification of the place is over, then there really will be no place to hunt.”
If this continued, elite players over level 300 would have to catch orcs on the second floor.
“There is no way we can do this. It is a structural defect of the layer.”
“No, there are no flaws in the structure of the layers.”
“… … Do you even listen to what I have to say?”
“Managers are not stupid. The one who created the layers and systems must be smarter. No matter how much we outperform their expectations, they can’t count.
I couldn’t have done it.”
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes sank.
“Coincidentally, this is also the third reason I think.”
“Wait, then, is there a way to solve the two problems of the absence of the hunting ground and the locked eighth grade at the same time?”
“that’s right. I think the answer
chuck. His finger pointed to the fifth floor.
“It’s right in Neo City.”
“I said, but the polluted oysters there
“I’m not talking about oysters.”
“then?”
“Neo City is the most scientifically advanced floor out of the seven floors that have been opened so far.”
“Yeah, everyone knows that… …
Deokgu’s eyes widened as he nodded his head inadvertently.
After reading Seo Jun-ho’s thoughts accurately, he pursed his lips several times.
“Now, wait. really? cow that is possible
Is it Lee?”
“In theory.”
“But I understand Neo City is cut off from communication with the outside world, right?”
“Ah, Jincheon Namgung did make such a law.”
He closed the planet and banned all exchanges and communications with the outside world.
It was because he was afraid that his position would be endangered if the death of the emperor was discovered.
“But I solved that a long time ago. Didn’t you tell me?”
Isn’t that why the top of overflow came to do business with him?
“If you can come from outside, you can also go from inside. Well worth a try.”
In an unexpected way, Deokgu fell into deep thought.
“If what you are saying is true… … I can definitely solve the problem of the hunting ground.”
“The universe is wide. There must be too many monsters. If I issue space mercenary qualifications to players and send them out,
Only.”
“Then what about the 8th floor? Why does that have anything to do with this?”
“Simple. Floor managers aren’t just programs.”
In other words, it exists somewhere in the universe.
It is said that if you can go to space, it is also possible to visit them directly.
“I don’t know why they locked the 8th floor, but if they don’t even answer questions like this… …
Seo Jun-ho shrugged and stood up.
“We have no choice but to go directly to the head office, right?”
“But you know where to go to meet me and go there?”
“I think I know roughly.”
“… … Where are you?”
“There’s a place that always comes up whenever I talk to the managers.”
Where the ‘upper people’ are, as they say.
“Empire.”
It is the Aeon Empire.
* * *
When I returned to my room, I saw familiar faces gathering, as if I had heard that I had woken up.
Skaya was the first to speak.
“I heard from Deokgu. You said you thought you could go to space?”
“… … Are there any secrets between you?”
“of course. Because that’s a lover.”
“Woo-wook. stop. The chicken breast meat I just ate seems to be coming up.”
Despite Ramadat’s booing, he
The woman persevered and continued.
“Take me too.”
“hmm.”
To be honest, I was thinking of going alone. Because it was so dangerous.
‘The Empire might not be happy with us coming in person.’
In the worst case, it could blow up the ship.
With that situation in mind, Seo Jun-ho did not want to increase the number of heads.
“I know what you’re worried about, but it could be the other way around.”
“The other way around?”
“It’s a bit disappointing to be alone, but a situation where you need a colleague.”
It was definitely not wrong.
“Of course I won’t just ask you to take me. You can prove it.”
“proof?”
“If you go against Junshik and cross the threshold, go. Is this enough?”
“Eh.”
Jun-shik, who was lying on the sofa reading a comic book, opened his eyes.
The boy awkwardly raised his upper body and cried.
“Why me? Fight the body… … That’s the original, sir. I’m a jerk.”
“Junho is busy going up to the 5th floor and preparing various things.”
After hearing it, it wasn’t such a bad thing.
Above all, I didn’t ask you to take me with you.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t know what these guys are.
I don’t know exactly how strong Mana is.’
It was different from when they were hanging out 24 hours a day.
With that thought in mind, it seemed good to check my capabilities once in a while.
“It’s okay. Then, stick with Junshik once in a while, and leave the video.”
“good. When will we do it?”
“It’s a bit late today, so let’s start tomorrow.”
When the friends, who showed strangely friendly feelings, left, Jun-sik approached.
“It’s the body. Shall I do it with all my might? Or should I adjust it a bit?”
“hmm. If it’s your strength now… …
Theoretically, it can use up to 95% of the body’s power.
Of course, it will require training as before.
“Only 70% of the power is used. Also, you also do training to increase your maximum output.”
“Yes, I want to read more comic books.
“ruler.
Seo Jun-ho held out a hologram card printed on the Vita to him.
“With this, eat what you want to eat while controlling your condition, and after the sparring, you are free to read comic books or not.”
“I, Seo Jun-shik, will bark like a dog and work like a cow for the boss.”
Jun-shik, who bowed at a 90 degree angle, received the card with both hands.
Seo Jun-ho asked as he packed his coat.
“Oh right. it’s surrey Didn’t something like nuclear come out after taking the transcendental pill?”
“It didn’t come out.”
Well, even the robot Namgung Jincheon didn’t have a nuclear weapon.
How much more could the transcendental emperor with a mass of light have a nuclear nucleus.
Seo Jun-ho nodded and asked before leaving the front door.
“Then take good care of the house. Don’t mess with things.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“Who is your mother? child.”
“Then…Dad?”
Seo Jun-ho, who shot at Jun-shik, who was talking nonsense, left the house.
