◎︎ Return to Yodon Gate.

​

Paaaa!!-

​

A tranquil landscape as if it had never been like that before.

Returned to the original gate.

​

This trial was also successful.

Although the manager showed up late and took time, we ended up earning a lot more points.

​

I checked for a moment.

​

​

Current trial score is 1603p.

This is the point where you can climb to the 6th floor in one go.

All of this was achieved in just one night.

It will take a while to get over the 100th floor, but at this speed, it won’t take that long.

​

Why hesitate?

​

Tiring!~

​

Paaaa!!-

​

Jumped through space several times.

Although others seemed dizzy, it was a comfortable feeling for me.

​

This gate is a cliff area.

Although this place is also desolate.

​

“Will this ordeal be okay?”

“Please, I hope it’s a good place… .”

​

I heard a human voice.

Looking around, I saw several groups resting around the gate.

​

Even when I showed up, there was no reaction.

There seemed to be no particular concerns as all hostile actions were prohibited around the gate.

​

“These are people I’ve never seen at the gate… .”

​

It’s nothing to worry about.

The list of trials was immediately loaded.

​

​

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

⊙︎ Seven steps.

┗︎Administrator – Teriel.

⊙︎ Arena Tournament.

┗︎Administrator – Autus.

⊙︎ Destroy the heart of lava.

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

​

​

The first trial is seven steps.

It starts in 4 hours.

​

This time, I waited patiently and then entered the ordeal.

​

The ordeal was simple.

It involves crossing seven gates, and each time you cross a gate, you take a test. There is also a vicious trap that separates the climber and gives him or her the choice of passing the test with a companion.

My opponent chose the option of abandoning me, so I took care of the mid-boss level monster alone and chased after it and killed it easily.

At the end, an angel appeared as a boss mob… I don’t know if it’s real, because it took a few punches.

​

Nothing was difficult.

The lower level trials were very easy for me.

A day has passed since I climbed to the 8th floor in one go.

​

The ordeal continued without stopping.

I cleared the 8th floor trial fairly well, but received additional points at the administrator’s suggestion.

​

The 9th floor trial had elements of competition between participants while collecting items, but they passed the fastest by beating the administrator from the start.

The manager was strong, but it wasn’t difficult to use distraction and hallucination, and if you shoot him once with the breath wand, he was able to help.

​

So I climbed to the 10th floor.

​

​

​

​

​

◎︎ Pay 900p of trial points to go to the 10th floor Bestiel Gate.

​

Paaaa!!-

​

It’s already the 10th floor.

Because it was a low-level section, it was an easy trial, and I climbed the floor with a high score regardless of whether the manager showed up or not.

​

“It’s a quiet place here too.“

​

I checked my surroundings out of habit.

​

Bestiel Gate.

It is a dark area with no people.

It’s dark and humid, and there seem to be a lot of monsters.

​

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s near the gate.

From what I’ve observed so far, no monsters appear at the gate, and all fighting is prohibited.

​

It’s a safe resting place.

​

Tiring!!

​

◎︎ The exchange has been unlocked.

┗︎ You can use public values ​​and use the basic or user exchange.

◎︎ The message reception function has been unlocked.

┗︎ You can receive messages from beings whose sending function has been unlocked.

​

An interesting message came to mind.

The locked exchange has been unlocked, and you can receive messages from other beings.

​

“Exchange… .”

​

I immediately opened the system window and checked.

​

​

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

⊙︎ Exchange.

┗︎ Basic exchange.

┗︎ User Exchange.

┗︎ Power Exchange.

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

​

​

The exchange was divided into three.

​

1. Basic exchange

Literally basic items such as clothing, water, food, armor and weapons appeared on the list.

If you look closely, you can get an iron ingot for 500p or a lowest-level potion for 1,000p, but I’m not sure if this is expensive or cheap.

​

2. User exchange.

You can just see all kinds of rare items.

The seller’s nickname is indicated separately, and there are those with and without verification marks such as (safety) and (trust), and I am not sure about the quality.

​

3. Power Exchange.

They seem like cheap and good items, but they are slightly darkened so most of them cannot be purchased.

The names of factions such as ‘Saranic Alliance’ are written next to the items, and it feels like a guild-only exchange.

Some items are available for trading, but in order to buy the right items, you must belong to the relevant guild or become friends with it to gain permission.

At first glance, there are more than a thousand factions.

​

“Is it a real game? .”

​

There doesn’t seem to be anything I can use right now.

But later, when you accumulate a lot of public value, you will be able to get the items you want with this.

​

for a moment.

​

Is it possible for me to upload items too?

So what happens if you raise the tree of life?

​

First, you need to learn more about the exchange.

There are a lot of people with tower experience in the village, so it would be better to ask first before taking action.

​

Sigh~

​

Returned to level 0 elf body.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Tree trunk house.

As soon as I returned to my elf body, I opened my mouth.

​

“Arrived at the 10th floor.”

​

“Oh. Already on the 10th floor?”

“Hey… Hmm… After all, it’s Shinmok… … I don’t know what it is… .”

Shaella sat on the bed.

And the sixth Laferdion was seen sitting in Shaella’s arms.

​

“What are you doing now?… .”

​

Shaella was hugging the small Laferdion and stroking his head, and Laferdion had a melting expression on his face.

The guy who always had a benevolent smile was now very disheveled.

​

“What is it? You’re taming it.”

“Ugh… … .”

​

“… … … ?”

​

What does this mean?… .

​

I shook my head.

Several elves, including Tinia, have already fallen into Shaella’s hands.

Adding one or two people won’t change anything.

​

The moment I thought,

Laferdion spoke with courage.

​

“Poetry, Shinmok… I think Shaella is a very good person.”

​

“… What do you mean? Laferdion.”

​

“Well, wouldn’t that be all good.”

​

“… … … .”

​

“Shaella is right~ You speak well,” she said, stroking Laferdion again.

​

What was the intention behind that?

Was it true that he said it out of his own will?

​

I shook my head again and returned to the main topic.

​

“Shaella. There is something I want to discuss.”

​

“What is it?”

​

“The exchange has been unlocked, and I’m thinking about posting items here too. It seemed like there was a lot that could be done for public value.”

​

“Exchange? I don’t really know because I haven’t used it. I was busy climbing straight up.”

​

Unfortunately, I did not get a satisfactory answer.

Instead, I asked other questions.

​

“What floor did you climb to?”

​

“I think it was a little over the 150th floor… Then the invasion started and I had to go back. Actually, my stay in the tower will be less than three months. So, I don’t know the details.”

​

“Do you know who the force that captured you as an experiment is?“

​

“Hmm… I didn’t pay much attention at the time. I remember it was probably the biggest force.”

​

“The biggest force… .”

​

“Why is that?”

​

“I just thought it would be good to know.”

​

“Heehee~ You don’t want to get revenge?”

“Hehe… I would be really happy if Shinmok helps Shaella.”

​

“… … … .“

​

“Asshole. It’s embarrassing. Right?”

“Yes~ Shinmok is shy.”

​

Okay.

​

I ignored it.

If I talk more, all I’ll hear is useless talk.

​

First things first… .

​

[Ilian.]

​

I plan to discuss it with him and find out more from the villagers.

​

​

​

Tree trunk house.

table.

​

“After investigating, it seems that each exchange has some problems.”

​

I sat down with Ilian and had a conversation.

​

There are a lot of people in the village.

Therefore, if I had Ilian, I could quickly find out information about the exchange.

​

First, let’s summarize Ilian’s words.

​

1. Basic exchanges are expensive.

If you directly interact with people at the tower, you can get it at almost half the price.

Also, there are literally only basic items, making it difficult to find what you want.

​

2. User exchanges are prone to fraud.

You cannot inspect the item in person, and you cannot return it once you purchase it. It must be inferred solely from the description written by the owner of the item.

Trust verification marks can also be manipulated by colleagues, making it difficult to trust. Therefore, most people who use the exchange for the first time are scammed.

The advantage is that they have all the necessary items.

​

3. The power exchange has many restrictions.

Most exchanges are trustworthy as they are operated directly by the powers that be. The bigger the power, the higher the credit rating and the more good products there are.

However, there are restrictions on items that seem to be good, so ordinary people cannot purchase them even if they have a lot of money.

This is only possible if you belong to a faction or have a close relationship.

​

Roughly like this.

It’s all just vague.

Usually, it is best to interact directly with people in the city or village of the tower.

​

still… .

​

“There is enough material to make money.”

​

Thanks to direct transactions and power exchanges, the user exchange is less utilized than expected, but there are still quite a few people who use it.

Because everyone in the world uses it.

​

I roughly understand the trading system.

Now all that’s left is the actual battle.

​

Anyway, I am in the seller’s position.

There is nothing to lose by trying it.

If anyone buys the tree of life once, they will come back again and again.

​

blast furnace.

​

“Going again.”

​

“I make money and buy some nice things~”

“Yes. I hope everything goes well.”

“I always support Shinmok.”

​

Shaella.

Ilian.

Laferdion.

​

The ceremony was carried out with three people seeing off.

​

​

​

​

“Phew… .”

​

I returned to the 10th floor human body.

Since this is the only body registered in the system, the fruit must also be made separately here.

​

first of all.

​

Boop!~

​

A tree of life was created by modifying the stem cloth.

Although it is a clone with limited nutrients, it can squeeze out about 7 lives.

​

Now… .

​

Tuk.

​

The system was called.

I went into the exchange section, clicked register product, and filled out the necessary information carefully.

​

​

​

The article was completed with great effort.

​

but… .

It looks like a very suspicious article.

Since there is no money for commissions, raising the price lower than the desired price seems even more like a scam.

​

me. You might not have any talent for business.

​

I don’t know.

Only one person will get caught.

​

Tiring!~

​

◎︎ The product ‘Life Tree’ has been registered.

◎︎ 2,000p of public value will be deducted as a fee.

​

Faaah!~

​

The tree of life disappeared from my hand.

At the same time, his expression became frowning.

​

“Commission is 20%… … .”

​

Although it was raised, the 20% commission was over the line.

Fraud aside, I now understand why people prefer direct transactions.

This is too much of a loss.

If it doesn’t sell, you’re just wasting your money.

​

I wish someone would buy it for me… .

​

​

​

“… Life and? What is this?”

​

Somewhere on a high rise.

A woman with purple hair.

While looking around the exchange from her secluded house, she discovered an absurd item.

​

“Isn’t this too blatantly fraudulent?… .”

​

Nickname – SSS level elixir dealer.

If it is called the tree of life and has ridiculous efficacy like a panacea, it has unproven reliability at the low price of 10,000p.

​

This is something that even Hogu would not be caught by.

That’s definitely the case… .

​

“… Ugh… … Also, the buying instinct.

​

“Ha… I hate myself for getting caught even though I knew it was a scam. If it really has a purifying effect that can even cure gods as written… … Kkajitgeo.”

​

Tiring~

​

◎︎ I purchased the Tree of Life.

◎︎ 10,000p has been deducted.

​

She was the first to purchase Muchan’s products.
