Chapter 6 Tutorial (4) (2/2)
“Make it brief.”
“The attribute points you have. That’s all you have to pay.”
Conscientious merchants?
Yeon-woo placed his hand on the “Mineral water” at the bottom of the list.
[Mineral water]
A bottle of drinking water required when thirsty. Be sure to have some with you.

Price: Strength 2
Mere water costs 2 Strength points, and what? Conscientious?
Yeon-woo was so dumbfounded that he burst out laughing.
Of course, given its ludicrous price, he could just ignore it and not buy it.
But the problem was that humans needed water to live, and there was no way to supply oneself with drinking water or even food during the tutorial.
“3 Dexterity points for one day worth of food.’
Even if someone brought enough food and water from the outside, it could be lost on the way, or even be stolen by other players.
In addition, players who barely managed to get through Section A often found themselves in need of better equipment.
‘There’s a boss room beyond this point, so players have no choice but to fully equip themselves for the fight.”
So the players would have to bite the bullet and buy items from the mysterious merchant.

But then, with their lowered attribute points, the next fight would be even tougher, and they would have to trade the attribute points they had just barely manage to pile up again to buy the next set of equipment, throwing themselves into a vicious cycle.
And here he is, calling himself a ‘conscientious merchant’.
He was no better than a thief.
Yeon-woo smirked a little.
‘I don’t know who designed the tutorial, but they are truly evil.’
After closing the category window, Yeon-woo said.
“There’s something I want to buy.”
“Yes. Say it.”
“In exchange for all the attribute points I got from Section A,”
Yeon-woo had already decided what to purchase.

“I’d like to buy tickets to reset Section A.”
The rules didn’t allow players to re-attempt a section after clearing it. But when he heard that there was a rare ticket that could send a player back to any chosen place, a thought came to his mind.
If he could stack up attribute points by repeatedly going through Section A, wouldn’t it be much easier to proceed afterwards?
In that brief moment, the mysterious merchant’s eyes gave off a strange glow under the robes.
Eyes filled with interest.
“Do you mean the reset tickets?”
“Yes.”
“I do have those, but I’ve never seen anyone interested in that item. Usually, after surviving Section A, players would ask for things that can make the next section easier for them, and not something that will make them go through Section A all over again.”
“Well, I personally have something in mind.”
“If you say so.”

The mysterious merchant chuckled and then clapped his hands.
*Clap*
All the shelves at his back disappeared.
And then.
[Attribute points acquired through Section A will be paid in exchange for the purchase.]
[You have acquired ‘Reset ticket for Section A’ x10]
Yeon-woo felt his body deflating like a balloon. The battle hardened body he had just a moment ago felt almost like a dream.
Instead, his hand was now holding 10 pink colored tickets.
“The method to use the ticket is very simple. Just tear off your ticket whenever you want , and you’ll be teleported back to the starting zone.”
Yeon-woo shoved the tickets into his pocket.

“I’ll use it well.”
“I’d appreciate if you do. I must be off. I hope we meet again.”
The mysterious merchant gently turned around and melted away leaving no trace.
The room surrounding Yeon-woo also started to disappear like a wave, and he found himself in a different place.
Unlike the empty passage way he came through, ahead were dozens of scarecrows standing in a row. There were also some people other than Yeon-woo in that place.
Far in the distance, about five people were blasting away all kinds of skills against the scarecrows.
He also heard people screaming in anger, signifying that the scarecrows weren’t so easy to deal with.
[This is Section A’s boss room. Do you want to enter?]
Yeon-woo took out a ticket
He wanted to experience the difficulty of the boss, but with his current body’s condition, just one mistake and he would be toast.

He tore the ticket without hesitation.
*Whoosh*
He opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar place.
It was the starting zone where he had arrived before.
He drew a dagger from his waist and held it in his right hand.
‘I must raise my attributes as high as possible while I’m here.’
This time, he intended to make Section A entirely of his own.
