Paper 178 NPCs
What caught Jihoo’s eyes was the [authority to intervene in settings]. In theory, it’s like a cheat key that can do anything as long as you have enough SP.
The problem, however, is that the assumption that SP is infinite does not make sense. It’s not easy to get SP. No, it gets harder.
‘We have to make one system.’
At this rate, SP supply and demand will stop soon. The SP gained through achievements, awareness, and survival time has clear limits.
‘The best way to keep supplying SP even little by little is hunting.’
[Achievement] once achieved, you have to find something new. Hunting can also be counted as an achievement, but it is possible to obtain SP only by hunting.
What suddenly came to my mind was the black child and the knight of purification. And to hunt Dyurahan in the Black Forest on the 6th floor.
‘Because I can’t use it on the 11th floor or higher anyway.’
However, to upgrade, it is much more efficient to make new ones using by-products from the 11th floor or higher.
The 5th floor desert can become incapacitated if you fall into the sand regardless of your power level, and the 7th floor is a frozen sea, so it is not easier.
You never know what will happen to the 8th floor if you encounter a predator, so the most suitable place is the 6th floor, where you can hunt safely and have the highest frequency of monsters.
‘If you want to auto-hunt, the most necessary thing is self-recovery. No matter how high the level of the undead is, energy is required, and energy is also required to prevent durability from being consumed.’
Energy is important.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t just keep inserting mana stones.
‘The best thing is to get energy from the monsters you hunted.’
Take out the mana stone and absorb it?
It’s not easy.
I don’t know if it’s possible if the [Ego] level rises, but that’s not the case right now. Can I afford it with a separate power absorption option? To super-high-level objects from level 8 to 10?
it’s tough.
It might be possible if you give up one level and focus on mana supply. Very inefficient.
‘I get energy from hunting itself… … .’
It was [Growth Predation].
The story of gaining experience and leveling up means that it is also an energy. Even if the durability is sweet and energy is consumed, it will be restored when the level rises.
It is similar to how an artifact gets stronger the older it is and the more it is used.
‘But that alone is not enough.’
It requires not only ‘reinforcement’ to raise the level by devouring [experience], but also ‘restoration’ and ‘recharge’.
‘Growth predation also needs to be slightly modified.’
From nob le mt l. co m
Moreover, it is not easy to give each and every growth predation. Right now there are three, but more and more will be needed in the future.
‘To carry out my plan.’
So what I thought was this.
[Dominance (Lv. 04)]
: It is an ability that requires mental restraint to subordinate any being, and can greatly amplify the ability of the subordinate being.
* 3/40 of the current controllable objects
* Current mastery limit level Lv. 09
* Increases current control ability by 160%
‘Lerlia couldn’t be put into control, and the knight of purification with black hair. And even Dyurahan?’
To put Lerlia here, you need to raise it by at least 3 levels. Even with a simple calculation, an additional SP of about 20,000 is needed.
‘Not yet.’
Lerlia is strong enough even without this dominance. There is no problem since you can store it in your inventory.
Connect the modified [Growth Predation] here. An option with [Experience] and [Level] systems.
‘It’s to give growth predation to the object that controls it.’
[Dominance (Lv. 04)]
: It is an ability that requires mental restraint to subordinate any being, and can greatly amplify the ability of the subordinate being.
* Apply [Growth Predation] effect to the dominated object.
* 3/40 of the current controllable objects
* Current mastery limit level Lv. 09
* Increases current control ability by 160%
Instead of granting them one by one, it becomes the effect of a special ability called [Dominance]. It means that when you are being dominated, you will have the effect of [Growth Predation].
“Huh- I’ll have to spend 30,000 SP with this.”
This is the extent to which it has been reduced and reduced.
However, as the achievement came in again, 10,000 SP was supplied. One of the achievements was [an example of the primitive utilization of the system].
“Perhaps [permission to intervene] is a trait created for the system.”
It might have been a mistake to use it for an artifact.
Now is the final step.
“Justice.”
You need a plausible reason.
No one, even Shin Ji-hoo, a member of the Guild, can use a part of the tower as if it were his own.
It means that hunters hunting on the same floor can’t see it well. Even if he didn’t belong to this street, he would be criticized, but Jihoo couldn’t tarnish the image of [Artisan’s Street].
“Let’s join the safe zone.”
2nd and 3rd floors right now. And the safe zone on the 6th floor is a safe zone for horses.
The 2nd and 3rd floors ensured some level of safety with the predator’s head, but that’s not 100% either. The 6th floor is even worse.
It is a jungle.
Even if there are predators, stronger predators are born. After all, where those predators get eaten too. This means that even if you take the head of a predator-class metal ray, it’s not 100% safe.
“In the meantime, you can serve as a guard and subjugate the surroundings.”
If you do that, you will take care of the cause.
First, expand the hideout on the 6th floor and place the Knight of Purification and Black Eye. With the two of them, it would be easy enough to clean the area and fend off any predators.
“I need to find a few more undead.”
The 2nd and 3rd floors were too neglected.
The 2nd floor was surrounded by a group of orcs, so a level 7 durahan was enough. The 3rd floor has rogue birds, so it would be perfect to get rich.

“hehehehe.”
President Jeong Woo-yeon was happy these days.
Coming to the [Street of Artisans] was a godsend. If you were in Seoul, it would be so fresh and fine… … No, I wouldn’t have been able to see the demon corpse itself.
It would be nice to see a few rotting monster carcasses coming in from abroad from time to time. Didn’t he go to Europe and get the Death Knight he’s using now?
In addition, I felt like I opened my eyes while meeting President Shin, who runs the [General Store of Trust]. After following him a few times, it was the second time that his achievement went up a notch.
I touched a special object of level 10 or higher with a [magical organ] that is said to be hard to see, and even touched a Mira Rich.
In addition, with the creation of artificial soul stones with the word [Purification], undead were not only used by warlocks, but also spread to the general public, so I couldn’t help but be happy.
smart-
“uh? Boss Shin!”
“It’s been a while, are you busy?”
“no! are you okay. The other day, because of the rift, I got quite a few corpses of demons and monsters, so I was researching them.”
“Okay, did you get anything good?”
“Very good. The freshness is especially great, and there are a lot of gaps between the eyebrows, so even if you use it as a ghoul, you can maintain your current level. But what are you doing?”
“I’ll buy some undead.”
Jihoo explained briefly.
Then he said
“ah! Do you mean that there will be security NPCs on the 2nd and 3rd floors?”
“Oh- is that so?”
“Do you even subjugate occasionally?”
“That’s an appropriate analogy.”
“Great! that was possible It would be perfect if they even gave you a quest.”
“… … !”
A flash flashed through Jihoo’s mind.
A very good idea.
why didn’t i think of that
As Hyeonmu does in [Hyeonmu’s Rare], if you help, you will receive a special reward.
‘Quest, Questra.’
It can be difficult right now.
But I was able to get a rough frame. If you make a scroll and consume SP, you can give a plausible quest.
‘Completing that quest will allow me to receive SP.’
I tried to earn SP with the recent [Awareness] achievement, but it didn’t go my way. I wondered how many times an [Achievement] would appear and get it, but in the end, it was an [Achievement], so the limit was clear.
But this is different.
Hunting is the same, but there is also a way to create a system that can obtain SP.
‘Certainly I was prejudiced.’
engineering thinking.
He lacked creativity because he was buried in magic circuits and physical principles. It’s because I didn’t think I could make something like this.
“thank you. That was helpful. Quest, that’s a good idea.”
“really? What a relief.”
There was such a conversation.
What was unusual was President Jeong Woo-yeon, who was not familiar with Jihoo’s [characteristic]. I was curious, but I didn’t ask.
It must be because it is a world where anything is possible with a [characteristic]. If not, he’d be someone who doesn’t care much about other people’s business.
anyway.
“Please recommend some undead to put there. It would be nice to have a combination of durahan and rich.”
“It’s a bit excessive on the second floor, but… … . Still, if it’s an NPC, it’s right to overdo it. There are times when the players will just mess with it.”
“… … .”
Jihoo nodded.
I didn’t even think of that. President Jeong Woo-yeon seemed to have played games quite a bit, so everything he said was helpful.
“It certainly is. If you don’t have to place low-level ones and make a party with strong ones, it will help maintain order.”
“Still, if there are too many of them, it can create a sense of incongruity, so it might be better to have a majority of ‘beast-type ghouls’ for the undead in charge of subjugation, and one Lich and Dura for the NPCs guarding the hideout. If you go upstairs, you’ll even subdue the guards with the Death Knight and the Lich!”
“It’s good. that thought. Could you give me an estimate?”
“sure. I don’t know, but there are decent corpses piling up these days, so it’ll be soon. Some have already been made.”
At this time, President Jeong Woo-yeon started business.
This is the list I bought.
* Second floor
-Lich (Lv. 08): 1
-Durahan (Lv. 07): 1
-Nostril Dog (Lv. 04): 5
* 3rd Floor
-Lich (Lv. 08): 3
The 2nd floor needed a subjugation of the surroundings, so I ordered a level 4 beast-type undead, and the 3rd floor was mainly for guarding, and it was all for hunting down rogue birds, so I limited it to 2 liches.
“Are you going to put the Knight of Purification and the Durahan you used on the 6th floor?”
“There’s even a black kid and a black kiriyum golem.”
“Enough… … . Still, shouldn’t I have a couple of level 8 liches as support? It won’t be easy.”
“That would be better.”
There are many variables on the 6th floor.
There were so many different types and characteristics of monsters, and sometimes even level 7 or higher predators appeared.
In the end, a total of 150 billion had to be spent. Still, 6 level 8 liches and 1 durahan are cheap.
Recently, the potion made by Jihoo and Hyungbae at Samhyeon was released, and the underground dungeon and Hyunmu’s rare were released, so it was not difficult because the money earned was enormous.
The problem is more than that.
“The desert on the 5th floor is difficult and the glacier on the 7th floor is also difficult because of whales, so I will build it on the 8th floor.”
“Yes.”
“Ha- it won’t be easy there either. Level 9 undead sometimes appear there, right? A large undead.”
“So that’s what I mean.”
Jihoo asked what it would be like to catch the [Hell Dog] seen on the 11th floor and use it for subjugation around the 8th floor, and catch the [Reaper of Flames] seen on the 12th floor and use it as a guard on the 8th floor.
At level 12, it was a half-spiritual skeleton monster, and it mainly used a large flame scythe over 3m long.
It was perfect to use as an NPC on the 8th floor.
“Hmm, it’s a spiritual body monster.”
“Is it possible to become undead?”
“I don’t think there will be much difference from Richie. it’s possible. You’ll have to try it once, but I don’t think it’s difficult. Inner Mana Stone or Crystal of Chloride? Such an energy source must be indestructible.”
Jihoo nodded.
It’s not difficult.
This is how Jihoo’s [Indomitable Tower] NPC input project began. In the meantime, he also accelerated the production of spirits to be used on the 12th floor and above.
