17th Floor: Lee Dohee Enters the Defense Game

[Remaining Time: 65 hours 28 minutes]

“This is more manageable than I thought? No one’s ever gone from floor 10 to 20 in a week like this, right?”

• Doubt it.
• Ah, our penalty is…
• It’s okay, you’ll spend all your time on floor 17. That trial takes over a month.
• Yup~ Floor 17 is invincible~~
• Fr, does floor 17 look easy to you?
• You’ll get stuck on floor 17 anyway, lol.
• Info) These guys said the same thing on floor 16.

“Hmm… Is that so?”

The thought of those viewers getting flustered makes the corners of my mouth twitch up without me realizing it.

• Why does she look like that;;

[Ding~]

[Welcome, participant, to the Defense Game! Be careful, you will be defeated if the crystal in the center is destroyed!]

A very short and simple explanation. The theme of this trial is a defense game.

As the system explained, the trial on floor 17 ends after defending against a total of 50 waves of monsters.

Uniquely, this trial is done solo, so there are no solo play rewards.

So, do I defend alone? No.

In the beginning, personal combat power is needed, but the standard method is to defeat the incoming monsters to collect points and upgrade various troops and walls to clear the stage.

As you progress, a powerful monster army that you can never stop alone will appear, so the key is to create resource bases to increase food production and raise the tech level to defeat the monsters with powerful firepower.

You have to repair the destroyed walls from time to time, replenish the dead troops, and manage the resource base. In other words, you have to play in the manner of a common defense game.

However, Is it really necessary to play in the defense game style?

“Everyone, this is a defense game, but the conclusion is that you just have to kill all the monsters.”

• ???
• True, but
• Don’t tell me you’re thinking of catching them all alone?
• Don’t overdo it and die, just go the standard route. The death rate for the floor 17 trial is surprisingly high.
• What are you trying to do…?

First, I activate the game system.

[Remaining Points: 1000]

1000 points given at the beginning.

Looking at what can be produced now,

[Wooden Wall] 1 point per 1m

[Worker] 10 points

[Swordsman] 30 points

[Archer] 40 points

You can strengthen your base and create your own castle by using points appropriately like this.

Also, as the population increases, you have to create and manage food and residential areas, so you have to select workers appropriately to manage food.

‘In my past life, I enjoyed playing real-time strategy simulations.’

After wave 10, the underground dungeon is opened, and when the population increases, you have to build resource bases in other areas separately.

Of course, you have to fight to secure that place, and you have to constantly manage the resource base.

But when would I have time to cultivate food here? Although the game rules here allow food to grow in a week, my mission ends in 3 days.

That’s why I brought a strategy to match that.

That strategy is,

[Wave 1 begins] [Wave 2 begins] [Wave 3 begins] [Wave 4 begins] [Wave 5 begins] [Wave 6 begins] [Wave 7 begins] [Wave 8 begins] [Wave 9 begins]

“Alright~! Let’s go!!!”

Just a strategy to fight like crazy alone.

• ????
• Dohee, are you crazy?
• Huh? Did she make a mistake?
• That crazy bitch is acting up again.
• Ah, if you spam the start button, it keeps coming out.
• Uh oh… Isn’t this screwed up?
• A lot of people make mistakes like that, but isn’t she doing it on purpose?

“Yes, I pressed it all at once on purpose. I’m just going to break through this trial alone. I have a plan.”

• ???
• What
• Huh?
• That won’t work

Now I turn off the chat window.

I calmly look at the horizon. Beyond the barren wasteland with sparse grass, I can see several portals opening in the distance.

[Time Remaining Until Wave 1 Arrival: 4 minutes 5 seconds] [Time Remaining Until Wave 2 Arrival: 4 minutes 5 seconds] [Time Remaining Until Wave 3 Arrival…] … .. .

After waiting a bit, I can see the monster army approaching, kicking up dust.

[Number of Goblins Remaining in Wave 1: 500] [Number of Orcs Remaining in Wave 2: 200] … .. .

‘There’s a crazy amount.’

Goblins and orcs, as well as lizardmen, skeletons, trolls, ogres, satyrs, lycanthropes, centaurs, and other various monsters are rushing towards me like crazy.

“Hoo…”

I take a small breath and run.

I run out alone against the thousands of monster army.

All buffs are stacked 5 times. I feel the world slowing down.

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”

[Battle Cry] A wide-area taunt skill often used by tanks.

If they pass me and break the crystal, it will be troublesome, so I shout loudly to draw aggro.

The viewers won’t know if I used a skill or just shouted to get their attention unless they experience it themselves.

Dududududu!!!

The first to rush in are the centaur troops. The creatures with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human are charging to tear me apart, armed with huge spears and shields.

In reality, my defense is high, so I won’t be pierced at once, but the physical force of about 500kg of centaur colliding at about 80km/h is not weak enough to ignore.

[Shock Wave] Strongly stomping on the ground creates an effect as if an earthquake has occurred around you.

Kwagwagwagwang!!

The centaurs slow down or get tangled up and fall over as they try to regain their balance. Their greatest specialty, the charge, has been offset.

Now I charge first.

“Kuh…?”

I stab a spear into the heart of a centaur who is making a flustered expression.

I immediately dodge the spears stabbing in from all directions with a low jump, and land behind another centaur nearby.

“Hello…?”

“Kua?”

Poohak! When I cut off the arm of the guy I’m riding, he starts rampaging and sprinting like crazy.

I got a good horse.

He’s trying to drop me off, but I’m rather maintaining my balance there, killing the other centaurs who are panicking.

As he’s rampaging like that, other monsters start to attack me.

‘Damn it, I haven’t even finished cleaning up the centaurs yet…’

A huge ogre about 5m tall is trying to crush me.

I abandon the centaur I was riding and switch to the ogre.

Puh-uhk!! However, another ogre attacked without caring about his ally, so I had no choice but to jump off the ogre mount in a hurry.

‘Damn it…’

As I’m falling in the air, various types of monsters on the ground aim their weapons at me.

“Haaaap!!”

I knock away the weapons with my spear and barely land, but all the monsters rush towards me again like I’m being sucked into a black hole.

[Divine Power Release]

Kwaaaaaang!!!!

A skill that purely releases the divine power of the body to sweep away the surroundings.

I create a small gap and move my body in the direction where there are relatively few monsters.

“Kuweeeeeeoh!!!” “Uheeeeeoh!” “Owooooaaaa!!”

Thousands of monsters of all kinds are chasing me. Even while being trampled by the big monsters, the small monsters rush towards me recklessly.

“Haha…”

‘This is harder than I thought?’

I regret it a little, but it’s already spilled milk.

I can’t afford to lose from the start.

“Come on. Let’s fight!!”

I kick off the ground and run.

“Hee… Hec hec…”

About 2 hours later.

Lee Dohee is lying on the floor covered in a mixture of red and green blood. She has no strength to move her body because her stamina has been squeezed to the limit.

‘Did I underestimate it too much…?’

It’s definitely different from fighting humans.

Humans usually lose morale and fall into fear when they meet an opponent who is much stronger than them and their companions die around them. So, they often die without being able to exert their original strength.

But these monsters are not.

They don’t fear their own death and rush at me. Not only their own lives. They rush at me like zombies, whether their allies next to them are trampled or crushed.

‘Disgusting guys…’

I open the chat window during a short break.

• She’s winning against this, lol.
• What is it? Was that earthquake-like thing in the middle a skill?
• She was doing something similar to mana release too.
• Fr, isn’t that a skill? Did we learn it secretly?
• Lee Dohee, explain~

As expected, the quick-witted Awakened ones noticed that I was using skills appropriately in the middle.

Originally, it is common sense that skills cannot be used unless they are learned through the system.

But I have something to say that I can use as an excuse.

“Umm… It just happened when I did it? After the abbot and Cheonma did something to me, the energy in my body moved freely. So I just released it randomly as it was.”

• ???
• That’s possible?
• That doesn’t make sense
• What? Why can’t I do it?

“Well… If you guys get the reverse muscle tax while being penetrated front and back by Cheonma and the abbot…”

• What?
  • You crazy bitch, LOL.
  • You think I’d take it?!!!!
  • Become gay…
  • Ugh, I imagined it and I’m gonna puke.
  • Go away!!!
  • If you’re so upset, you guys should get fucked too, LOL.

“Just so you know, you have to get gaped all day long like a sex doll.”

• Gasp
• Stop it, damn it.
• Don’t stimulate my imagination.
• ?? I’m down, though?
• Gay, gay…
• Barf
• Arghhh

The viewers are horrified and shocked.

In reality, the techniques you can use after receiving the Tendon Changing and Marrow Washing Sutra from the Abbot and the Heavenly Demon aren’t things you can just use. Only those who have used them a lot in the past know how to use them, but who’s going to prove that?

‘There’s no way there’s anyone in the world who’s been fucked by both the Abbot and the Heavenly Demon at the same time, right?’

Of course not.

That’s why, even if there’s something a little strange, no one can refute it because no one has experienced it.

• Is this bitch just a genius…?
  • Getting that combat high again after a long time.
  • Hmm
  • Where’s Lee Do-hee getting gang-raped by multiple monsters?

“Don’t say weird things… I’m going to get back to work now.”

[Remaining Points: 41420]

All the miscellaneous tech trees are skipped here.

Usually, in this trial, you either develop magic in the late game, or you develop science.

But there’s another direction besides those two.

That is…

Hero Tech!

[Hero Summoning Altar: 5000 Points] [Hero Upgrade Base: 10000 Points]

• What?
  • Wait, isn’t that the one that was deemed complete trash?
  • Do-hee?
  • Uh, uh, don’t upgrade that.

What I need isn’t hero summoning.

It’s the Hero Upgrade Base.

This place has a system that can increase the stats of heroes, and surprisingly, this number also applies to the participants.

[Strength of All Heroes +1%: 1000 Points] [Agility of All Heroes +1%: 1000 Points] [Defense of All Heroes +1%: 1000 Points] [Divinity of All Heroes +1%: 1000 Points]

It costs 1000 points to raise it by only 1%.

It seems like completely trash efficiency, but this number also applies to equipment and buffs. And as you go to the late game, the points you get increase exponentially, so it’s actually a late-bloomer tech.

If you can endure the early game, many people recommend Hero Tech.

Besides, you don’t have to bother picking workers to produce food or taking over resource bases.

Food production takes a considerable amount of time, so this is the only way to break through quickly.

And it’s not just about breaking through quickly.

It’s about the hidden ending.

For that, I have to get stronger.

“I’ll raise them evenly for now.”

[Hero Strength +7%] [Hero Agility +7%] [Hero Defense +6%] [Hero Divinity +6%]

[Remaining Points: 420]

I want to proceed with the 10th wave right away, but my stamina is too low.

“Haa… Let’s eat first.”

I remove my armor and shower my body with water from the water bottle, then crush potions and apply them to the wounded areas to heal them.

• Oh my.
  • She just takes off her clothes naturally now.
  • Even her pussy is soaked.

‘Ah… I did it too naturally…’

The habits from my previous life came out too naturally.

I cover my body again and put on my armor.

Then I open the pack of tuna bibimbap, cubed radish kimchi, and fried egg.

• But is the difficulty originally this hard?

“That’s because I summoned them all at once…”

After all, summoning them one by one only lengthens the battle time.

Look at the battle just now, more than half of the enemy monsters died by trampling each other.

I’ve chosen the path that allows me to go with maximum efficiency without dying.

‘Maximum efficiency and maximum results. I will only think about that.’

Just like this tuna bibimbap, which costs 20,000 won each if you buy one serving, making it 60,000 won, but costs 50,000 won if you buy three servings.

“Nom nom…”

***

After eating and recovering some stamina, I start the 10th wave.

[Number of Cyclops Remaining in Wave 10: 1]

“I can see it from far away…”

Thump… Thump…

The ground is shaking with heavy movements.

I can see a huge body approaching 20m, and a large one-eye staring at me from afar.
