3 – Episode 3. Cracking down on the back door of deceased persons_(2)
“Wai, be surprised!”
“Wow! Why are you so surprised! It’s me!”
Why, what, why?
I was just working my brain on how to attack the road with this sh*t.

Of course I’m surprised when it suddenly pops up, you son of a b*tch.
The identity of the voice was the girl who disappeared with the two of them a little while ago.
He squatted down near my lap for some reason when he came, but now he looks up at me while lying on the floor.
Curly hair mixed with pink and white. Are you around 13 years old? Occupation: C-rank backpacker.
On his back, he is carrying a large bag that he can easily fit into.
I confirmed with my own eyes that he had obviously followed the people out… How did he get here?
“What are you? How are you here?”
“Ah… I was just going out and hiding.”
Did you just pretend to leave and come back?
You not only fooled me, but also fooled the people?
No matter how you do it, can you not see this? Have you been too careless with the relief of being alone?
Or was it that he was so short that he was completely hidden in the dark?
If not…
Maybe something like a racial trait.
Because his ears are too pouty to be human.
Hu, Gao would have been hurt if he had dug his nose just because he was alone.
“Why didn’t people follow and come back?”
“Because… That nose is really nice.”
“What does that matter?”
“It does matter! This is a secret… You know that tall guy from before…”
The girl looked at her exit several times, and then she beckoned me to come closer.
Then she said in my ear:
“Because his knife… smelled of blood the same as the corpse at the exit? It’s very strange, isn’t it?”
Ah, did you? Sorry. It really matters.
That bastard was worse than I thought.
As soon as he found out he was playing with other players, he immediately came to mind, but I never thought there would really be a guy who practices.
It was a despicable way to hunt new users after setting up a spot at the starting point.
For someone like me who believes in vocal evil, that’s the first thing to be suspicious of.
As expected, other people are hell.
And this would continue.
To survive in the tower, you must be constantly aware of other players.
You will be able to reach the top of the tower only if you conquer all the parts that have changed from the game, including the player, and the new things that were unknown in the game.
Cut out the mean things, use the hogu, and take advantage of the dog.
Of course, the first information to target is to find out how to use my unfamiliar job.
What do I need to do first for that?
To break through this darkness and reach the safe zone at the end of the passage.
A girl snooped inside her door and shuddered at her, then she asked me.
“But if you go down this road, what will you find?”
“Safe Zone. There will be something like a village.”
“Huh! Because I feel really good! Coming this way was the answer!”
That’s right. If only you can arrive.
If you enter this door, you will be in total darkness. No means can be used to light the fire, and three monsters are waiting for the player inside.
The fighting power is also a bit stronger than the original exit side.
You have to pierce it.
I was at a loss a moment ago, but I just came up with a solution.
Other people are hell, but Kobun is a different story.
I… I guess the one true adaptability is good?
“Didn’t you say you smell good?”
“Yes! I can hear well and my eyes are very good.”
“It would be nice if there were many advantages. But if you go out this door, it won’t do you any good?”
“Really? Why?”
Why, it’s a sh*t game.
“This tower is a place to incapacitate people, so give me your dog tags if you don’t want to search.”
**
Intimidation, conciliation, physical negotiations, I’ve thought of these methods as well.
The girl’s dog tag landed in my hand as soon as I finished my words.
He has a good nose enough to tell the owner of the blood by smell, but what kind of smell comes from me, so he puts so much trust in me?
Did you even smell Hogu?
Anyway.
As I grabbed the girl’s dog tag, information came to my mind.

I checked the information on the outside of the dog tag earlier, but this time I came up with more detailed information, including detailed stats and deck lists.
This means that anyone can see the information on someone else’s dog tags as long as they are in their hands… It’s like getting some pretty important information.
On the contrary, I knew in advance what kind of disaster would happen if my dog tag fell into someone else’s hand, and how much easier the game would be if I got the enemy’s dog tag in the future.
There are more things to pay attention to in the future.
And thank you, you guy without tension.
‘By the way… well, what else is this? It’s embarrassing.’
I checked Tilda’s ability one by one and moved my gaze to the bottom of her information window.
Important information was written at the top, and useless personal information such as height and weight was written at the bottom, but there was a strange number in between.
[Age: 27]
‘Why is this… the same age as me?’
Are halflings originally short? Of course I thought I was a baby and started talking half-heartedly.
I can’t do anything.
If we fix it now, we will both be embarrassed, so we should keep talking plainly. Lol…
Then Tilda asked, rolling her big eyes.
He was said to have been a mercenary before he came here, but judging from his thoughtless expression, he must have been a chore at best.
“But why a dog tag?”
“It’s kind of like an interview. I have to pass this road from now on, but it’s quite tricky, isn’t it?”
“Hey… Is there a monster?”
“Three. Besides, there is no light and you can’t use torches, so you have to deal with them with your eyes closed.”
“Mom… How do you pass that way… It sounds like you are going to die…”
“So why don’t you go for an interview? Put it in if you’re useful, or throw it away. That’s it.”
“Huh. No way… But can that dog tag tell you that? I can’t even see I don’t know anything about numbers and cards in particular.”
“I know very well. I know a lot more about this place than you think. And from now on, I’m going to think about what to do with you. Be quiet if you don’t want to be left alone.”
“Eup.”
To be honest, at first I was thinking of using it as a meat shield. I changed my mind after seeing the ability.
This bastard… Why is the performance so good for a C rank subject?
My stomach hurts.
[Agile Sense: Remove 3 attack and defense cards each. Instead, add an Amplified Sense card to your deck.]
[Friend of Plants: Takes half damage from plant enemies. You can grow plants in the village.]
[Collective: Greed gains +5.]
The strength is minus and there is only one attack card, so the combat ability is self-protective, but the fact that the basic card attack and defense cards are few is sure to be a huge growth engine in the second half.
Because the performance of the basic cards is garbage compared to the cards obtained from the tower. Better to just disappear from the deck.
And the greed that affects the inventory size is 5, which means you can carry all the items from the first floor.
Agility 3?
Agility is an ability that reduces the delay between using a card and using another card.
If I had 3 Agility, I’m confident that it would take less than 1 second to use the entire turn.
I envy you, really.
On the other hand, my abilities were really insignificant.
Class traits are locked, stats are all defaulted to 0, and a couple of cards have been added to the deck…
[Cooking/Life Card: Combine items to create a Item. The stats of the created item are determined randomly.]
[Delicious Smell/Skill Card: Amplifies the scent of food held by 3 times. When used against an enemy, the next card used by the enemy is always an attack card. If there are no attack cards in hand, the turn ends.]
‘I can’t tell by looking at it…’
Both of them were new cards.
But according to my experience, all life cards are fraudulent, so it’s still too early to call for Mangem.
There are life cards such as the [Alchemy] Card, which creates a potion once per battle, and the [Blacksmithing] Card, which permanently strengthens one card every time an enemy is killed. It’s about getting stronger.
Cooking cards are also worth researching.
And I only have memories of working in the kitchen all my life, except for games.
The rest was just a basic deck with [Attack*5] [Defense*5] [Dash*2].
Where did the combat cards that give you two for each class go…
I handed over the dog tags to Tilda.
“How are you? Is that useful?”
I can’t help but sigh when I see the bright eyes.
I can’t believe there are two such extreme combat sh*theads gathered together.
Wouldn’t it be the worst party ever on the 1st floor?
But what? I’m satisfied enough with this.
“I passed the interview. Congratulations.”
“Whew… Then you won’t throw me away, will you? Any plans on how to fight monsters? I’m sorry… But I’m not good at fighting.”
“I don’t fight. I will just pass.”
“You said you can’t see anything, is that possible?”
Originally, absolutely impossible.
With my deck, I just fight and fight with monsters, and if I’m lucky, there’s a 10% chance that I’ll have about 10 HP left.
The remaining 90% is game over.
But great halflings can.
“Give me your hand.”
“Yes? Hand? Wow!”
Tilda’s hands were small enough for her short stature.
This hand is the key.
The fighting ability of the two of us is absolutely zero.
Now, when you enter the room, you won’t be able to see anything, so you have no choice but to avoid the monsters while using Tilta’s hearing and smell cards at maximum speed.
If you happen to fight, you should consider that the survival rate per battle drops by 50%.
Only 1 coin play, coin is life.
But Tilda doesn’t know how to roll her deck. This is the only way.

“Listen carefully. The knuckles on my right hand indicate the type of card. The first one is attack, the second one is defense. When you enter the room, you have to press your finger to tell me the card order.”
“Yes? Yes? Wait! What do you mean?”
“I’m going to use your abilities instead to get through the room. You press my fingers to give me a list of cards, and I use my left hand to tell you which cards to use.”
“That… what do you mean…”
“Simple. I’m going to practice from now on, but if I can’t do it, I’ll die. Or live. Isn’t it tidy?”
