Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 51 Potion

Luck stat reacted.

portion? no. As you can see, they are trash.

The source of the light is a wooden box in which a man is sitting.

The potion seller, perhaps unaware of my hesitation, continued.

“I have decided what to do later. After collecting all the money with the potion, buy a house first. One yacht Oh, that must be a bit difficult. Because of the marine monsters. That’s what if you do it in a lake or something…”

“Hey.”

I called him who was constantly talking.

“Oh, I have been talking a lot. Did you choose the right product?”

“Are there any potions in that box?”

“Are you here? There is, but.”

Scratching his head, the potion seller stood up and opened the wooden box.

I spread a scrap of cloth to use as a buffer and divided the compartments in my own way so that the potion would not shake.

The color is varied. There are also things that are unrefined or cloudy.

20 potions. Unlike the others, it was not marked.

I narrowed my eyes.

‘The light doesn’t come out specifically.’

It would have been nice if he had decided exactly what to buy, but the light only flickered vaguely.

Surely the box, not the potion, is the key?

Suspicions arose from seeing the options of the potions he sold, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Because the halo was hovering inside the box.

“These are also potions, but I didn’t bring them to sell.”

“Is there a separate owner?”

“It’s not like that, it’s because it’s a failure. It wasn’t just selling for money. I brought it to throw away on the way home later…”

I thought I shouldn’t sell the things that were laid out on the stall, but I didn’t mention it.

I’m done with buying them.

“I will buy them.”

“This? If you really want to buy it, we will sell it, but there is no refund, and if there is a problem later, we will not compensate you.”

“it’s okay.”

I hadn’t thought of that anyway.

I looked at the failed potions.

[Failed Fire Resistance Potion (F)]

-The energy of fire is alive.

– How about spraying it on the roadside on a cold day?

[Failed Potion to Strengthen Strength (F)]

– Drinking it will not overflow your strength.

[Failed Detox Potion (F)]

– The poison remains.

– It becomes poisoning, not detoxification.

Literally a failure. There were only things I would never recommend, even in good conscience.

I don’t know what he did to make him look like that, but it didn’t matter.

Because I’ve figured out why luck reacts.

I lightly brushed my breastplate.

“On him?”

Deokchun, who was in his arms, made a strange sound.

The light wasn’t only coming from the potion.

It happened to Deokchun too.

That means one thing.

To feed Deokchun a potion.

‘When I came up to the 6th floor, I ate white pills and got the recovery attribute.’

So how about eating that?

It’s questionable whether it’s okay to eat it once, but it didn’t seem like a big problem seeing the luck stat manifested.

Still, I can’t force feed it.

Because Deokchun is stronger than me.

I plan to take it and give it to Deokchun if he says okay.

“Since it’s a failure, I’ll roughly pay for the sickness. Are you buying all 20?”

“yes. I buy them all.”

“Then I only get 200 points cheaply.”

I don’t know since when the bottle price became so expensive, but I paid the points obediently.

200 points wasn’t that much money to me.

I didn’t want to waste time and emotions bargaining.

It’s true, though, that I feel a bit resentful.

I gave it a shot and took the potion.

“Did you bring a bag or basket? I have to use the box.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I opened the treasure bag and took the potion.

It’s definitely convenient to have this.

The man’s eyes glistened with greed when he saw the subspace item.

‘Look at this guy?’

He seemed to hide his expression right away, but he couldn’t avoid my eyes.

I remembered those eyes.

“Let’s go. take care.”

“yes. Please go in.”

As soon as he stood up pretending not to know, the man who clearly lost his words pretended to clean the stalls.

The sun has long since fallen.

If it had been on another floor, there would have been darkness where you could not see an inch ahead, but it was not a safe zone.

There were still lights leaking from taverns and inns that were open.

I walked slowly.

I brushed past the people walking the streets sparsely and passed a lively restaurant.

A lot of information comes in through the awakened and sensitive five senses.

The sound of laughter and the smell of food. Shadows sway through the windows.

and footsteps.

“Deokchun, is he following him?”

At my question, Deokchun, who was in the armor, poked out his head and looked behind him.

“Quack.”

He nodded.

As expected, his eyes were full of greed, so he was following me.

Somehow, the guy who said he was going home only pretended to organize the stalls.

Isn’t it too obvious? If you’re trying to hide that you’re focusing on me, you should have acted more naturally.

After passing through a bright spot, I continued to a quiet street and headed for an alley.

[Night Vision (E) Lv. 4]

It was dark, but thanks to the skills I trained on the 9th floor, there was no problem seeing.

-Taat I

spurred my feet without any preliminary movement and flew my body over the wall.

I lowered my posture and caught my breath.

Deleted the popularity. The state where the hand is placed on the handle so that the sword can be drawn at any time.

I thought while waiting for him to come.

Why is he targeting me?

Covet the treasure bag? It is a valuable item as it is a subspace item.

‘Isn’t that reckless?’

It’s not a field, but it’s a safe zone, and you’re trying to robbery.

Even if he was punished by the manager, he wouldn’t have anything to say.

Even today, a pickpocket cut off his wrist.

The strange thing is not only that.

‘Obviously he said he had no talent for combat.’

He said he was afraid of hunting and was going to make potions.

A guy like that is going to commit a robbery?

back and forth don’t match In the first place, he did not have the right weapons and armor.

One comfy robe. I didn’t see anything that could be called a weapon…

but if you check anything, you’ll know.

-Broseureuk

As expected, the potion seller who shows up soon after.

I was looking around at the entrance of the alley with my face sticking out.

It’s sloppy. His neck was even stiffened in fear.

No matter where you looked, it didn’t look like a robber.

Why are you tailing me?

“Where did you go?”

Mustering up courage, he groped the wall and came inside.

I am cautious every time I take a step, as if I don’t have the skill to see ahead in the dark.

Did you move about 10 meters like that?

He stopped, as if he had given up on moving forward.

“It’s damn fast. Oh what should I do Will you recruit me just by looking at it?”

‘Recruited?’

I listened. Why are recruiting here?

there’s something i don’t know

He stared into the air and waved his fingers.

Looks like you’re checking the community.

“I’m sure the thing he was using was like a treasure bag. If you just figure out the accommodation and let us know, there will be a way to enter a large guild.”

I know you talk a lot, but you talk a lot even when you’re alone.

Thanks to that, I got the information….. but

it seems that there was a separate notice from a large guild.

‘Did I tell you to report it if you find someone with a treasure bag?’

what to do Are you collecting subspace items at the guild level?

It’s definitely a good item to have.

Even so, there is no reason to recruit them to a large guild.

Treasure bag large guild. I looked into the relationship between the two.

‘Smart bastards.’

I soon found out why.

It’s been a while since I uploaded the 7th floor strategy.

Those who have already ascended cannot hunt Treasure Goblins.

In other words, having a treasure bag at this point.

‘It’s likely to be me.’

Because I’m attacking the fastest and climbing up.

Hair loss man and Licking Nyangfun, who occupy the lead, have not yet reached the 10th floor.

Although there may be people among the latecomers who get only treasure bags and go straight to the 10th floor.

‘There’s probably none.’

Even to fill the starter kit, the climbing speed will inevitably be slow.

I was frivolous. From now on, I’ll refrain from using the treasure bag when there are people around.

At least until the number of people with treasure bags increased.

“I have to report it first. It would be difficult if someone else was playing the game after dreaming about it for nothing. okay! I should also give you the potion I made as a gift. If you see my competence, you will definitely recruit me. Hehehe.”

The potion seller murmured and left the alley.

It must be heading to the guild building.

can’t stand still Because he saw my face

Would it be better to kill it too?

I wonder what would happen if I let them out of the tower.

‘no. It’s a big risk.’

Defeating that guy will give you the title of murderer.

That you have to collide head-on with the processing tube.

It is not yet time.

so.

“I have to deal with it in a different way.”

I’m thinking of doing it in an indirect way.

I moved faster than that.

* * *

The wooden fence of the inn where the members of the multi-castle guild are staying.

It was late in the evening, but the lights were on.

It was because there was someone who came to the manager Lee Jin-moo.

A space that looks like a single room. Two men were sitting in a room that was being used as a conference room after removing the bed.

Jinmu Lee and the potion seller.

“So you found the one with the treasure bag? Are you sure?”

“yes. sure I confirmed that he bought 20 potions from me and put them in his pocket.”

The potion seller looked at him and answered.

processing officer. One of the few people who can use force in the safety zone on the 10th floor.

The potion seller continued, being careful not to offend his planting.

“What about my promise? I always admired the multi-sex guild. I am confident that I will give my life and be loyal, and since I am talented in potions, I can work in the workshop as well.”

“I cannot tell you about that now. Until you check it.”

Jinmu raised a corner of his mouth and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Once it’s clear that he’s the one we’re looking for, we’ll keep our promise.”

“thank you!”

“So did you find the lodging where he was staying?”

“I didn’t see it go into the building, but I know where he disappeared.”

In a word, I don’t know.

The potion seller was intimidated and looked at Lee Jin-moo, but Lee Jin-moo’s expression was unexpectedly bright.

Dangerous glinting eyes. raised eyebrows.

For some reason, the potion seller swallowed at the feeling of pressure.

“Good.”

“yes?”

“Isn’t it that he moved with the possibility of tailing in mind? It suddenly disappeared.”

“Uhh can you see that?”

“It just so happens that the person we are looking for is that kind of guy. They want to be thorough and hide themselves.”

Took. Lee Jin-moo patted the potion seller on the back.

“Go away. Call me later.”

“Thank you! Be healthy!”

Upon a positive answer, the potion seller bowed his head and quickly left the building.

Because to him, Lee Jin-moo was a fearful subject.

“Would you be okay, Superintendent? It doesn’t seem very helpful.”

The place where the potionist disappeared. As the door closed, one of the guild members asked.

“no. That’s enough. Because there’s a good chance he’s on the 10th floor. From what he said, it looks like he’ll be staying here for a while. Because I bought a lot of food.”

“Once they noticed the tailing, they might have headed straight up.”

A worried guild member commented, but Lee Jin-moo shook his head.

“If you wanted to go up, you would have gone up a long time ago. He’s not afraid of big guilds. He must have tried to hide himself and get what he wanted.”

Lee Jin-moo already knew that through the cooperation of the Sangun Guild, the person presumed to be Petit Gong-du had a direct conflict with the manager Oh Ji-hyeok.

It means that he does not hesitate to go further and collide with large guilds by force.

He really was a goal hitter.

“Of course, what he said could be a lie. I’ll recruit them to a large guild, because there are many coveted ones. That’s what you need to do when you go there and make them pay for it.”

Jinmu Lee shrugged and put the box the potion seller had left on the table.

something given as a gift. He said he was a potion maker with great potential.

There is a shop in the tower, but not outside. That means you have to produce your own potions.

As he said, if he was competent, he could have pursued the recruitment separately from this job.

‘I don’t expect too much.’

Even after talking for a while, I could tell that he was the type with no ability and strong bluffing.

Still, just in case you don’t know.

Jinmu Lee picked up a potion and looked at the options. I immediately clicked my tongue.

“It’s trash. do you want to write?”

“it’s okay.”

“Isn’t it a bit too? take it away It just takes up space.”

“All right.”

The time when the guild members were trying to clear the box according to his instructions.

“Stop for a moment.”

Lee Jin-moo lifted a potion.

hardened face.

The guild members who felt doubts about the sudden change of emotions read the option information.

face turning red.

“That son of a bitch! I’ll get you right away!”

The guild members grabbed their swords and ran out.

The potion in Jinmu Lee’s hand.

[Neuropexin mixed with poison (E)]

– It is mixed with neurotoxin.

It was poison.
