Part 11 Talent Modification
“So, you came to say hello?”
Aunt Miyeon.
Jihoo and Heeyeon call her that, but outsiders call her ‘Chief of the Union’. She waved her fan slowly and looked at the two customers with a disapproving expression.
“Yes, I came to say hello. In our Samhyeon Artifact, for this indomitable tower attack… … .”
“Okay, are you there?”
“… … yes.”
Team leader Oh Yong-pil was sweating profusely, but he managed his expression calmly. You shouldn’t show a lack of confidence, bewilderment, or anxiety.
“The confidence to break through the 18th floor and block the 23rd floor. there is?”
“Yes, at Samhyeon, we thoroughly prepared. Supply, Hunter, Survey and Auxiliary. We will attack perfectly.”
Kim Mi-yeon’s expression is that she doesn’t like it.
It has to be.
The ownership of this [Indomitable Tower] belongs to governments, associations, and unions. It was divided into three places, but this attack was established with the consent of the government and the association, excluding the union.
“Tsk tsk, that old man pushed me like this without telling me.”
Oh Yong-pil knows who the old man is.
He was the current president of the association, [Lee Gu-sang, King of the present demon], and one of the strongest in the world. He was a hero of Korea and a legendary figure who raised the status of the Korean Hunter Association worldwide.
“I mean.”
“yes.”
“I can never tolerate it. I settled here 20 years ago, and lost my husband and child 15 years ago. No wonder the 18th floor was blown up 10 years ago by some bastards, and it took 3 years to stop it. After all, you came here to drill another 18th floor five years ago, right?”
“… … I apologize.”
Oh Yong-pil hit his head on the floor.
I know what’s going on. He was just an assistant manager at the time, but it was because he was on the scene.
“Do you know how many friends died then?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know. Hundreds in 20 years, and more than 90% of the pioneer artisans have died.”
she picked up the phone
His eyes were fixed on Oh Yong-pil.
‘Inspiration’ was written on her cell phone, and she turned it into a speaker phone and put it aside.
– hello?
It was Goosang Lee, the president of the association.
“Hey, Iggy.”
– What are you doing? our Mrs. Kim.
“This tower attack. Are you really confident?”
– Oh, is it because of that again? It’s been 7 years since I shut it down. The power itself is different between then and now.
gulp.
There was a moment of silence, but Han Jin-joong, who was next to Oh Yong-pil, couldn’t hold down his tension and swallowed.
– What, who is it? Oh, are you from Samhyeon?
“Okay, just to give you a warning.”
– Well, yes. I bet you this time it will be really successful Is there a girl called Choi Hye-yeon there? He’s the one I’ve raised for the past 7 years. to attack the tower there.
“If you fail this time, you will come and block it yourself no matter what. If any of my people get hurt because of that, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
– Look how rough it is. I get it, it’s real. I’m sure this time I’m absolutely in charge! I’m from there too Would I risk it there?
“… … The guy who left everything behind, where is he from?”
– You couldn’t help it.
“done. If we fail this time, the Samhyeon group won’t be safe either.”
– of course. I told you I was going to go and pull out all the poles. hey? are you listening
To that voice, Oh Yong-pil and Han Jin-joong answered with their faces turned white.
“yes? Ah yes! yes! I am listening!”
– do well. Understand? The survival of your group is at stake in this attack. okay?
“yes! I will definitely do it! certainly!”
– Yes, the discipline is tight. Good luck. I’m leaving. Where do those monstrous bastards keep crawling out? Hey, aren’t you standing there?!
pop-
So the phone hung up.
Silence passed. Kim Mi-yeon had an expression that she didn’t like it, and the two in front were so nervous that their lips were bluish.
“When is the attack?”
“Exactly 7 days left.”
“Have a good look. I’ll lend you the supply depot.”
“thank you!”
“As before, I won’t let you go if you try to find out and cooperate. okay?”
“Yes, I understand!”
* * *
– Survival time: 72,010 seconds
– Survival SP: 1,800
– Total SP held: 2,430
– [I survived 20 hours on the 1st floor! (Normal)]
– [Still a clumsy survival expert (Normal)]
– [Your dream is a junk dealer? (Normal)]
– 200 SP will be paid.
– The skill level of [Read (Lv. 03)] increases.
– The proficiency of [Setting Intervention (Lv. 02)] increases.
“after-“
Jihoo moved busily.
I rummaged through the lobby for 20 hours, collected broken artifacts of [Rare] grade or higher, and spent time repairing and restoring them.
I found about 30 in total, but 25 were sold cheaply to the hunters in the lobby and I only had 5.
Because it was needed on the second floor.
“Are you leaving in about four hours?”
“Yes, I’ll go to the second floor in just four hours.”
“Okay, then I’ll turn this way around and come back.”
“okay.”
She knows a lot of people here.
She is also far-reaching, but since she has been climbing for 10 years, anyone she doesn’t know can be considered an outsider.
‘Now let’s try to modify the talent.’
Total is 2,600.
This is the best SP I’ve ever collected.
Just in case, I tried to see if I could raise the level of [View] or [Intervention], and it worked.
It’s because you asked for a ridiculous SP.
‘Even if it’s cheap, it’s not efficient.’
There is no particular benefit.
Why don’t you just keep building up your proficiency… … ?
“for a moment.”
I heard that talent also has a growth type.
then… … .
Talent :
[Slightly delicate dexterity (D)]
[Slightly superior mental strength (C)]
[Insignificant but not bad magic talent (F)]
Of these, the most notable is dexterity.
There are stats, but stats have limits. Talent increases the limit and also increases the rate of stat growth.
In the end, talent comes first and stats come later.
『Delicate Dexterity (C) [Growth – Mastery 0%]』
Description: He was gifted with dexterity, with the ability to adapt and learn very quickly. The more complicated and difficult tasks and new tasks are completed, the steeper the rise in proficiency.
* Dexterity has a positive effect on all tasks involving the hands.
– Consumes 1,800 SP.
– Do you want to save your settings?
“save.”
There was no need to worry.
It’s not enough to rise to C grade right away, so the skill level rises. Hand dexterity is essential as there will be countless appraisals, restorations, enhancements, and productions in the future.
Not to mention, even if [Magical Circuit], [Combat Talent] or [Talent] were created later, dexterity would be a morale buff.
flash-
A small light arose.
The light permeated Jihoo’s status window, and his entire hand was corrected with a tingling sensation.
– [Talent has been modified! (Normal)]
– [Excellent setting intervention application! (General)]
– [Found the ‘Growth type’ setting. (Rare)]
– A total of 350 SP is paid.
– A special setting intervention [Growth type] was discovered.
– Register the keyword [Growth type].
– You can save the [Growth] option at 30% SP.
“keyword?”
[Keyword (1/10)]
1. Growth type
– The one to which the setting intervention is applied grows. ‘Growth’ means that ‘limits’ will disappear, albeit slowly.
2.

“Can I enter up to 10 in total?”
Or maybe it’s something that can be found in this impregnable tower.
more important than that.
‘I have 1,180SP left.’
So, there is one thing that caught my eye.
[Insignificant but not bad magic talent (F)]
It is a magical talent that seems insignificant just by looking at it. What would happen if [Growth] was given here?
‘It may be faster to just raise the rating, but there is nothing urgent. It takes time to learn a new magic circuit anyway.’
『Insignificant but not bad magic talent (E) [Growth type – Mastery 0%]』
Description: Late-air plastic surgery talent. It’s not completely absent, but it has a slightly slower growth rate. If you keep doing it, you might see the light someday.
“… … Just because you put on a growth type doesn’t mean it’s all right.”
This alone consumes 300 SP.
I thought it was 30% of 1,800, but it seems to vary depending on the type of talent and talent level.
So I decided to step up.
『Ordinary Magical Talent (D) [Growth Type – Mastery 0%]』
– Consumes 600SP.
– Do you want to save your settings?
“Save, this should be enough.”
I still have SP left, but I don’t use it.
It was time to head to the second floor. 24 hours have been filled, and as expected, three more achievements have been added.
* * *
“Wow, is this the second floor?”
“Yeah, isn’t it cool?”
It is a wonderful sight.
The place they came out was halfway up the mountain, and they could see the jungle below. At first glance, it is unbelievably wide and dense.
“It will be about five times the size of Yeouido. The curtains are closed so you can’t go outside. The place to go to the third floor is the desert area. There is an average level 4 to 5 orc colony over there.”
Jihoo nodded.
The sun is hot and the air is humid. The sights are wonderful, but there are many dangers lurking within.
She moved with Jihoo.
In the middle, I saw animals like anacondas and leopards, but they didn’t approach her.
“No animal will come close. No matter what I do, I’m one of the predators here. But there are some higher predators, and there are some reckless ones, so you stick around.”
“Are you a little too big?”
“Did you know that now? That’s why I get 10 million won a day here.”
They said it was like a leopard, but it was bigger than most tigers. But what of the beast watching her closely?
‘It’s amazing.’
Could it have been an hour or so?
It was hot and I felt like going crazy. Lee Hee-yeon, who was next to her, did the same, but she was much more distant than Ji-hoo, perhaps because she was using magic.
“It’s insanely hot in here.”
“Originally, ordinary people can’t even breathe properly. It looks like you’re a tempo, but there must be a limit. Let me know if you want to go back anytime.”
“I can hold on.”
Having said that, it was difficult.
I never thought it would be this hot and humid. I somehow amplified the heat resistance and heat tolerance, and added the cold attribute to the mountaineering set, but I couldn’t completely block the heat.
It’s also not a place you can just come to.
So it took us 3 hours in total. Then I saw the entrance to the cave, which was neatly organized.
“Are you here?”
“Yeah, sometimes there are bears or snakes inside. Stay here for a minute.”
I see
There’s even a bear or something in the nest.
“Not today, let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
If it seemed like you were dying, you’re right.
He followed her in.
Inside, the floor was covered with animal skins, and the heads of tigers and leopards adorned one wall.
『Eastern Predator [Rare] (Lv. 04)』
Description: The head of a 150-year-old tiger that was originally a predator in the east. It is difficult for predators below that level to approach.
* [Less Dignity]
* [Less Horror]
“oh.”
“Assessed?”
“Oh, is this great?”
“This is the guy I caught three years ago. I must have fought with this guy for a week then. My arm fell off halfway.”
“… … .”
“Thanks to that, I got a ridiculous nest in this jungle. The leopard next to me was the one I caught five years ago.”
“Awesome.”
“Now you know! I am a B-class Hunter.”
Well, the horse is a B grade, but it is a powerful hunter that is considered the highest in this indomitable tower. I was a little underestimated because the level of power was 4, but I don’t think it’s to the extent that Jihoo thinks.
“Even if you have this, do bears come in?”
“Bears are on the same level as this tiger. This is level 4 right?”
“huh.”
“It will. Snakes are naturally stupid, so they don’t show dignity or fear. so it’s dangerous I can only stop beasts below level 4.”
“… … .”
“don’t worry. It’s my job to stop them. The problem is heat and poisonous insects. And it’s a goblin. Goblins are intelligent, so they won’t come without looking at the skin on their heads.”
Jihoo shook his head.
This was a real new world.
however,
“Oh, and the real thing is from night.”
It looks like it hasn’t even started yet.
Bruh at least the author bothered to show a single monster in this floor unlike the first floor where mc cleared it with just a single sentence💀
