Part 48 The Safe Zone
The tower is forbidden.
Even outside the tower, artificial structures cannot be built within 100m of the surrounding area. It is the same in the tower.
If it weren’t for that, a tower this old would have been filled with all sorts of artificial structures.
“Isn’t it okay?”
Heeyeon Lee asked. Lee Min-ho, who was next to him, nodded as if he was thinking the same thing.
“In common sense, it is.”
The standard is allowed up to the extent of using pre-made caves like Lee Hee-yeon’s hideout, or making a simple tent and bonfire.
The criteria are not clear. If you add a little bit or start to stay for a long time, it will start to wear out and disappear.
The more artificial processing goes in, the faster the time goes, and the prefabricated cottages brought from outside disappear within minutes of being built.
And that’s not all.
Even if you use the materials inside the tower, if it has any artificial form, it will disappear.
“To be precise, the condition ‘unless it’s in the tower-‘ is attached.”
“It’s just rocks and trees, right?”
Yes.
The only place in the tower where you can build something is on the second floor. The 3rd floor cliff cannot be broken with only an A-class Aura Sword, the 4th floor is the [Altar], the space of trials, and the 5th floor is the desert. On the 6th floor, each tree is harder than steel, so I said everything.
And the important thing is that even if you make clumsy walls and roofs with the materials inside this tower, monsters will attract aggro.
“You don’t want to be eaten alive in your sleep, do you?”
Heeyeon Lee said.
Not to mention at night, it’s difficult even if you only rest during the day. Even if floating monsters were rare in the vicinity, there was no place without them.
In particular, right in front of it is a place where wars between orc villages or attacks by subjugation forces that form a party are constantly taking place.
“So, are you going to help or not?”
Jihoo asked with a confident expression.
In fact, this confidence did not come from the conviction that it could be made perfectly. Intertwined with A and E in the debt relationship… … To put it simply, the creditor Lee Hee-yeon came out of the conviction that she had no choice but to follow Ji-hoo’s words.
Perhaps reading that expression, she frowned and opened her mouth.
“what the! Huh- I said… … What can I do, boss? If you work hard, you can increase the installment period a little… … .”
He is also quick-witted and quick to change his attitude.
From rubbing his palms, he is very skilled.
“Here, I prepared a special ax and pickaxe?”
“… … .”
“Let’s dig trees and stones first.”
Jihoo handed over the equipment to Lee Hee-yeon and Lee Min-ho.
* * *
“This is the first time I’ve done anything like this in that tower!”
“… … Is this fun? Why do you look excited?”
“Look at this axe. I can’t believe I can use level 5 equipment!”
“The bracelet is taller.”
“No, but this is what I use myself. wow! Look at this. I don’t think I feel much weight, but the hitting feeling is no joke. Besides, it seems to find the ‘gyeol’ on its own. Is it an induction function? Or is ‘splitting’ an option? It’s great. oh my god!”
“… … It goes over the tree.”
After Lee Hee-yeon reached level 5, she thought, ‘Why do I have to do this?’ and ‘Doing this doesn’t reduce my debt.’
However, in the end, he cut down the tree even more diligently with the determination, ‘Since I received the ogre’s gloves, I should do this much.’
Clumsy-!
squeak.
thud!
The fifth tree fell.
“Whoa- this is much harder than normal wood, right?”
“I guess so. I have never been here to cut down a tree.”
Lee Hee-yeon and Lee Min-ho had become friends before they knew it. Of course, she didn’t always look good.
“Should we dig some rocks now?”
“Yeah, I’ve never done anything like this before. It’s easy because I know the way. How did the boss know this and even made the equipment?!”
Lee Min-ho had a lot of excitement from earlier. It’s not even hunting, but the person who likes to feel like this… … . Well, it can feel good not having to risk your life.
Several parties of orcs and several beasts that approached the sound of the wood being beaten were killed by Jihoo’s [Umyoung] and Lee Heeyeon’s dagger.
“Hee-yeon is going to dig some rocks now. Have you tried a little before? Make a line by drawing a round part with this, and if you hit it with a pickaxe as if pulling it from the outside, it will be cut along the line. It’s an option made with magic circuits, so you don’t have to be delicate.”
Lee Hee-yeon took a pickaxe and a carving knife and moved to one side. There are many rocks around here, so there will be no shortage of materials.
“Lee Min-ho is going to trim the twigs with an ax and peel them. You have to lightly burn the outside with electricity. smooth. Shouldn’t it burn too much?”
“yes! You can do well!”
“… … Yes, please slow down.”
Lee Min-ho seemed to have a more optimistic personality than I could have imagined. There might be something pleasant thanks to the rental of the bracelet, but it seemed to enjoy this work itself.
Jihoo looked at him happily and looked at the square he had been digging.
‘The foundation work must be important.’
What Jihoo got a hint from was the [General Store of Trust].
When his [View] level reached 4 and he had [Detail], it was clear that the container was not a normal building, but a by-product from the [Tower] and someone’s [Attribute].
‘If that’s not the case, that level can’t come out without a circuit.’
[Reinforced container outer wall (Lv.04)]
[Reinforced Iron Gate (Lv.04)]
[Reinforced Glass Window (Lv.04)]
It is part of the container that we saw with [Segmentation].
If the outer wall of a level 4 container is able to block bullets, it is not difficult to block an attack by an orc.
The glass panes aren’t for defense, so they won’t be as hard as the exterior walls, but they can withstand most impacts.
The important thing is that this is a level divided into subdivisions, and if you look at the container as a whole, it will be level 7 or higher.
Even predators can’t touch it here.
‘I’m still having a hard time.’
It could be done by hitting SP.
But you should save as much as you can.
– Retained SP: 4,750
The SP gained from entering this place is about 1,200. There was also hunting of orcs, and it was a figure that included the SP paid in proportion to the survival time.
‘If I hold on for about a week and stay active, I think I might be able to exceed 10,000?’
If you use your brain well, you can form a safe zone with less than 10,000 SP, and if that happens, you can easily collect 10,000 SP.
‘The problem is how to do it.’
I have something in mind.
First of all, the magic circuit must not be used. This is because the moment the circuit is entered, it becomes clear that it is an ‘artificial’ building.
[A Poorly Trimmed Log (Lv.02)]
: A Saber Wood that lives on the 2nd floor of the Unbreakable Tower. It was trimmed with trivial skills, but it is a very hard tree, so it is suitable as a building material.
[Roughly Cut Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
: A piece of rock on the 2nd floor of the Unbreakable Tower. I don’t know if it was trimmed or if it was broken and polished.
Trees and rocks in the pagoda are different from normal ones. As you can see from the cliffs on the 3rd floor and the trees on the 6th floor, they are materials with magic power.
“… … Insignificant, roughly.”
well that’s not important
I don’t know if this will work, but I was sure it would happen instinctively. Jihoo erased ‘poorly trimmed’ from [Little Trimmed Log (Lv. 02)].
– A total of 10 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
It definitely consumes less SP.
there can’t be many It doesn’t improve performance, nor does it change traits. Because it was just a system description fix.
“save.”
sparkle-
Also, there is no change whatsoever.
Only the name and description have changed.
The rock fragments were also modified in the same way.
[Log (Lv.02)]
: A Saber Wood that lives on the 2nd floor of the Unbreakable Tower.
[Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
: A piece of rock on the 2nd floor of the Unbreakable Tower.
There is nothing to delay now.
Jihoo dug the floor up to 50cm to prepare the foundation. Set up logs at the four vertices of the boundary of the foundation and drive them.
This will be the main pillar.
The ground was solid enough, but square-cut rock pieces were laid out like a puzzle piece. The soil will come up in the middle, but here we plan to lay the skins of predators that live on the second floor.
‘It was good to bring the hide and head of a predator from the hideout Lee Hee-yeon used in the past. A crossbow might not be of much use because of its low level, but it will serve as an alarm.’
If it is a level 5 predator leather, it has effects such as moisture proof, heat preservation, and dust proof by itself without any artificial treatment.
“Here will be the door. Up to the waist, I will make a wall of rocks using clay kneaded with water as an adhesive, and I will use long cut trees above.”
“Can I put a tree cut to this length here?”
“Yes, do you have a groove on the main pillar? There will be an oblique cut out of it. Then it will be fixed without nailing it.”
“Isn’t this going out?”
“For anything that goes out, I will catch it at the top of the pillar. I’m going to cut it longer than the wood for the wall and put it in a groove.”
It was searched on the famous video platform [Tube].
I searched to build a primitive house here, but it wasn’t one or two. There were quite a few people who completed a plausible house in an unexpected way.
There was nothing Jihoo couldn’t do.
‘I’d like to make a fireplace in my heart, but if I do, I’ll die from the heat.’
It rises quite plausibly.
It was a stone wall up to the waist, and above that was a wooden wall. In four places, the poles were thicker than the other trees, and there were also doors and windows.
It is an artifact that has been perfectly touched by human hands from beginning to end, but shows no signs of aging or deteriorating.
So, the system description by [View] modified by [Setting Intervention] is full of only [Logs (Lv. 02)] and [Rock Pieces (Lv. 02)].
“Wow, is this going to happen?”
“Iknow, right. Will it last long?”
“That’s important. It’s not like there weren’t people who tried to make a hideout like this.”
Jihoo listened quietly.
That’s right.
What matters is whether or not it is maintained.
It’s a problem even if the system doesn’t see these wooden structures as [artificial]. beast or predator. Or, it was obvious that a goblin or orc would collapse just by hitting it.
If you look at the building that has been shaped by Jihoo through [View], it looks like this.
[Log (Lv.02)]
[Log (Lv.02)]
[Log (Lv.02)]
[Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
[Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
[Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
[Rock Piece (Lv.02)]
put this together
It is to recognize separated natural objects as one natural object. To do so, Jihoo created a [unique ability] called [combination], the opposite of [segmentation].
There was a special skill called [Fusion], but this was different from [Combination].
『Fusion (Lv.02)』
: Combine different settings into one.
(However, settings that can be fused are classified according to the level.)
[Convergence] is literally merging different settings into one to create something new, and [Combine] gives the settings as they are and binds multiple settings into one.
Now all I had to do was tie it up.
– A total of 1,350 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
“save.”
[Combination]
: Replace the ‘description’ of several ‘segmented’ entities with a single approximate ‘description’.
It is the creation of [Special Skill].
Of course, it’s normal to consume a lot of SP.
Jihoo deliberately ‘subdivided-‘, ‘approximately’, ‘replaces’. SP consumption was minimized by putting words such as
This is not the way to ‘combine descriptions of multiple entities into one.’ I confirmed that fixing the back consumes more than twice as much SP.
[Pile of Shattered Saber Logs (Lv.03)]
: A pile of saber logs stacked on a broken rock. ??? formed by action.
‘???’ came out.
It must have been a way to circumvent the system settings. Jihoo tried to fix it before the system went back into place.
This time, I decided to plant a clear identity even if I used a little more SP.
[The Predator’s Nest]
: Broken rocks and broken trees naturally settled down to create a cozy space. It is the home of the strongest predator in the vicinity.
The only thing Jihoo has changed is the name and description.
The level was not touched.
– A total of 350 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
“I almost ran out of SP. save.”
narrowly matched.
It seems that the use of 10 SP for each material was quite large.
– Save completed.
– Learned a new way of [Setup Intervention]!
– Achievement achieved!

More system phrases came to mind than I thought.
However, what surprised Jihoo was the finished explanation of the hideout.
