Chapter 30 (2/2)
However, none of these guys were worth having a witty conversations with. ”Frankly, I thought your younger sister was terrible, but she seems decent just by waiting quietly in the back. Actually, I've been having some fun so I guess I'll eat it all.” I brought a hand to my mouth and made a rude gesture.
”Let's try to cut down on that perfect image. It makes my mouth itch.”
[The level of a talent has risen.]
[Taunt. Lv 4. 14/800]
[Eloquence has exceeded the limit.]
[Eloquence: 11]
I hadn't intended to do this. Yoon Sang-min's expression was completely distorted. Indeed, there were a few people with pretend faces in reality. But if they were scratched even a little bit, their true expressions would be revealed. Their true substance was usually sloppy.
”In fact, didn't you send four people after me in the middle of the night?”
”This b*stard is totally crazy!”
Rather, Yoon Sang-ah's mental state seemed better. ”Hey! What is so good about you!? You're just someone who buzzes around and shakes your tail when sucking up to someone&h.e.l.lip;”
I literally turned around. As the stone statue said on the fifth floor, this place was decorated with many facilities. There were tables for meals and beds for sleeping. Of course, I didn't intend to sleep leisurely. I headed to a corner of the wall. There was a human sized stone statue with a sign.
[■■■'s Stone Statue]
Was it the one from the fifth floor? I wanted to check.
[Welcome. Explorer.]
I was able to tell after hearing it talk. It was the same 'type,' but a different personality. ”I want to see the goods that you're selling.” It was literally a resting place, so there wasn't a lot in the store.
A meal for one person cost five silver. One 500mL bottle of water was one silver. Clothes or a blanket were sold for 10~30 silver. ”&h.e.l.lip; Is this the same price or money as the original world?”
[You are very sharp.]
This stone statue was more brusque than the previous one. However, their expressions when amused were the same.
[Certainly, the value of silver coins were different in those human societies. That market price has little meaning here.]
”It is a nominal currency.” I looked through the list that the stone statue showed me. There were only two items that weren't so-called necessities.
[Tellan Introduction:New Edition - 15 gold coins (= 300 silver)]
[Ticket: Return to 5th Floor - 10 gold coins (= 200 silver)]
[Improved Leather Travel Bags – 5 gold coins]
I was able to buy the introduction to Tellan for a few silver coins from the hidden store on the fourth floor. Of course, there was a difference between the 'old' and 'new' editions, but there were few changes in the language of the book itself. ”Has anyone purchased this book yet?”
[I can't tell you&h.e.l.lip;]
I see.
[&h.e.l.lip;Just.]
The stone statue showed some signs of playfulness.
[There is n.o.body who had purchased it so far.]
”&h.e.l.lip; Can you tell me that?”
[Won't it be okay? Anyway, autonomy is allowed to some extent. Besides, there was no other human in this room who asked me this.]
Even so, usually this wouldn't be done for no reason&h.e.l.lip;
[Nope. It is my personal interest.]
It a.s.serted. Then it spoke in a coy voice.
[Incidentally, I have already sold 10 of the return tickets. Six of them were purchased by explorers in the same city as you. Yes. Like Kim Hee-chul, there are those who worried about buying the book. Maybe they had no money left.]
”&h.e.l.lip;” I pointed to two of the improved leather bags. ”These two. I will spend the rest of the money on food and water.”
[Your purchase has been completed.]
I turned to leave. I might be able to get more information but&h.e.l.lip; It was worrisome. My back always felt cold from the gazes of those other brats on the fifth floor.
[I know why Iphos felt regret. Since the sixth floor, you have come into the area that I'm responsible for.]
”I'll see you later.”
[I am looking forward to it. Ah, you can leave early by taking advantage of that scaffold over there.]
The stone statue said from behind me.
[Hopefully you will have a good stay in the city.]
Yoon Sang-min and the others were heading towards the scaffold.
”&h.e.l.lip;” Based on their expressions, it seemed like they were preparing to say something.
“Listen carefully.” I would show them what real persuasion was. I placed both hands in my pocket, then completely removed the smile from my face and spoke sincerely. ”If you want to live, then give me all of your items and stay in your current position. That would be safer than becoming my meal.”
”&h.e.l.lip;”
”&h.e.l.lip;”
”&h.e.l.lip;”
[Induce Fear Lv 1. 88/100]
Who was this guy? One person came up to me.
I said, ”I'm telling you the truth. This b*stard. Don't get in my way. Okay?”
”You will regret&h.e.l.lip;”
”Thank you for the information.” Without looking back, I climbed onto the scaffold. My vision changed and the seventh floor appeared.
”Eh? You're already here?” Yang Su-jin, who welcomed me, was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. Eyes. Nose and mouth. Blood was pouring out from every hole in her body.
”What is this?”
”I tasted just one drop of the mixture. This is really a huge effect.” I sighed as Yang Su-jin gave me a thumbs up. I threw one leather bag at her.
”Next time, bring a change of clothes.” Then I checked on my 'key.' The condition was perfect.
Now was the time for the flower to bloom.
