## Chapter 241 – 241. Tutorial Floor (13)
#241. Tutorial Floor (13)
There was a basis.
That rabbit bastard who casually burst people’s heads had spared me, who had caused a commotion.
That kind of attitude was enough to instill confidence in those gathered in the clearing that I was quite valuable.
Besides, thanks to the fantasy novels I read when I was younger, it wasn’t too difficult to understand the current situation.
Afterward, I happened to join forces with a person named Baek Ji-hyeok and created a camp.
Originally an E-class Hunter, he was strong, and the camp quickly grew in power.
At first, we were busy running away, but once we cooperated with people and got used to superpowers, the monsters were nothing.
At first, I thought I had fallen into the afterlife, but now I knew that this place was a new opportunity given to me.
Just when everything was going smoothly, a strange guy appeared in the camp.
I didn’t like him from the first impression.
The fact that he didn’t lose his composure in a situation where armed men were paying attention to him, and that he had two women by his side who were so beautiful that the word “beauty” was not enough.
I felt deprived.
I, who had been reigning like a king in the camp for the past few days with the new power called WP, felt infinitely small.
Women?
Everyone in the camp was just so-so, and the only beauty who could compare to those two women was Rose, who belonged to the combat unit.
A black rose that you could never reach, and that invariably showed its thorns if you tried.
Inferiority complex washed over me.
Afterward, when I came to my senses, I was pathetically sitting on the floor, having soiled myself.
The moment I saw myself reflected in the puddle, I was reminded of the days when I was pushed out by insignificant things and ridiculed by everyone in the department.
A terrible sense of humiliation enveloped my entire body once again.
I stayed up all night, day after day, enduring for the moment of revenge that would come someday.
The murderous intent that I had suppressed in that way gradually reached its limit in the early morning.
Ting-
「The amount of WP held by all player candidates will now be revealed.」
「Overall Ranking
1. Kang Hyun-woo – 55,372WP
2. Lucy – 24,724WP
3. Lee Se-rin – 15,370WP
4. Yoo Ah-rin – 6,210WP
5. Baek Ji-hyeok – 4,793WP

A new opportunity had come.
-50,000…?
It’s a different world for a conglomerate chairman to buy a building worth hundreds of billions, but it’s inevitable to feel jealous when an acquaintance buys a building.
For Lee Gyu-ho, that ranking table was like that.
The moment I saw the unrealistically large amount of WP, one thought filled my head.
-…If I can just kill that bastard, I can enjoy power even after entering the tower.
On the surface, he seemed to be caught up in excitement, but he was more rational than ever.
Just like he had obtained a precious item in the special space called the dungeon, he thought that guy must have also been lucky enough to obtain WP in the dungeon.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense in the first place.
Even if you honestly work at a company and sign up for a savings account, can you become a billionaire?
Unless you’re lucky enough for stocks to soar or house prices to rise, it’s realistically impossible.
Moreover, I also learned about the transcendent existence called Constellations.
That they can sponsor us with WP as well.
As a result of combining the overall situation and that rabbit bastard’s words, I came to the conclusion that he was just a nouveau riche who was lucky.
Well, I didn’t think there were no variables.
If he cleared the dungeon, it wouldn’t be strange for him to have good weapons, armor, or items.
Nevertheless, this was an opportunity that would never come again.
The die had already been cast, and I had even secured two F-class Hunters, who were the core of the combat unit, and four combatants, using the women and WP as bait.
Including myself, there were seven of us, while the opponent was just one man and two women.
We can win.
I definitely thought so.
But it was only after seeing the heads and torsos of the six men, excluding myself, scattered on the floor that I realized something was wrong.
“I really don’t understand. You’re scared of monsters, but you think I’m easy?”
The coldly subdued voice pierces my heart like an ice pick.
My hands and feet are trembling like aspen leaves, and I feel like all the blood in my body is drying up.
Only then did I realize.
“Do you really think I gathered this by playing poker?”
That my judgment was wrong.
That he was not just a lucky nouveau riche.
***
6,047WP.
That was the WP I got from beheading the six men Lee Gyu-ho brought.
To be honest, I was very disappointed. Shouldn’t the combat unit have at least 3,000 per person?
But I decided not to dwell on it. There’s nothing more foolish than being attached to side income.
‘Still, 1,000 per person is a bit much.’
Well, there are people who spend a lot of money wherever you go. They must be like that.
Surprisingly, there are many places to use WP.
The tutorial-exclusive store sells not only food but also luxury goods like cigarettes and various daily necessities, and there were women in the camp.
‘Prostitution is a business that is deeply rooted in the entire history of mankind.’
I agree that there’s nothing like sex to relieve the stress accumulated from hunting monsters.
But I also agree that there’s nothing more foolish than spending all your money on prostitution when you should be saving.
It’s not like you’re going to be satisfied living as a prostitute for the rest of your life.
Well, enough with the digression, the conclusion is one.
“I hope you’re a good saver.”
“H-Hik?!”
Lee Gyu-ho was horrified and crawled on the floor as I approached.
He didn’t look very good. The moment I approached with the intention of dealing with him appropriately.
“Please wait.”
I was stopped by an uninvited guest who had come just in time.
It was Baek Ji-hyeok.
“If you’re going to interfere, get out of here right now… No, just get lost.”
A golden aura flickered over the sword.
Baek Ji-hyeok swallowed hard at the sight.
He appeared as if he had been waiting for me to deal with Lee Gyu-ho?
Beyond suspicious, I couldn’t help but think that Baek Ji-hyeok was the one who orchestrated all of this.
“…I hope you don’t misunderstand. I’m only here to make a good offer to Hyun-woo.”
When I glared at him without saying anything, Baek Ji-hyeok immediately bowed.
“First of all, I apologize. This is my responsibility for not being able to control Gyu-ho. But I swear to God that I didn’t order it.”
“So?”
“I’d like to offer Hyun-woo an apology and a proposal.”
Baek Ji-hyeok was desperate. Unlike the way he looked a few days ago, he didn’t seem to have any composure.
But no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine that he would bring a meaningful proposal.
I thought it was a waste of time.
As if he was aware of that, Baek Ji-hyeok hurriedly continued.
“There is someone among my colleagues who has a skill to summon monsters. It’s dangerous, so we haven’t used it much, but it can cover a radius of 800m.”
I think I know roughly what he’s trying to say.
“You’re going to summon monsters, so you want me to help you hunt them?”
Baek Ji-hyeok nodded. He looked very nervous.
800m.
It’s an ambiguous range, but its efficiency is several times better in terrain with many obstacles like a forest. If this were Earth, it would have been a skill that would have been treated quite well.
“Can’t you just do it among yourselves as you’ve been doing?”
“Our strength is not enough. The number of combatants in the camp is less than 20, and most of the main members…”
Baek Ji-hyeok looked at the corpses scattered on the floor. It seemed that the people Lee Gyu-ho brought were the main force of the camp.
Of course, even if they were alive, the plan I just mentioned was still reckless.
The forest is a living hell right now. The significantly increased number of monsters is maintained even during the day.
It’s at least twice as many as on the first day.
Summoning all the monsters within 800m is like telling everyone to commit suicide together.
“I don’t understand.”
Looking at the ranking table, Baek Ji-hyeok has about 5,000 WP, so there’s no reason to take such a reckless gamble.
Of course, he may have become greedy after seeing the ranking table.
But he didn’t seem foolish enough to lose his mind because of the immediate gain.
“Why are you trying to suffer when your life is at stake?”
“…There are still many people in the camp who haven’t collected 500WP.”
I was dumbfounded by that.
What a saint.
“Were you a devout religious person? Or a philanthropist?”
“Shouldn’t we save those who can be saved?”
It was a cliché ideal.
“Are you going to change the diapers of grown adults?”
I would have understood if there were even minors.
But there were no minors in the camp.
“Even if it’s just 10 people, that’s 5,000, and if it’s 20 people, that’s 10,000. You don’t think that’s possible in the next two days, do you?”
“…If it really doesn’t work out, I’m thinking of sharing my WP.”
At this point, I had no choice but to revise my assessment of Baek Ji-hyeok.
He’s not a great leader, he’s just a pushover who only knows how to give to others.
“Even if they survive with the help of others, they will only be weeded out after entering the tower. Are you going to take care of them then too?”
Baek Ji-hyeok was silent.
He doesn’t have any countermeasures.
Ignoring him, who was no longer of any use, I approached Lee Gyu-ho.
“J-Ji-hyeok! Please save me!”
Lee Gyu-ho begged for his life to Baek Ji-hyeok, not me.
It was a wise decision in its own way. There’s no way I’m going to save him even if he begs me.
‘Well, if he was really smart, he wouldn’t have come to kill me in the first place.’
I didn’t want to waste any more time.
The moment I swung my sword to cut off his head.
“Wait a minute.”
Interference came again. But it wasn’t Baek Ji-hyeok.
Ting-
「’Incomplete Moon’s Eye’ is activated.」

It was that woman, the camp’s third F-class Hunter and the only woman in the combat unit.
Yoo Ah-rin, who walked out with her tied-up hair fluttering, was still beautiful. She was comparable to Lee Se-rin.
Although she still looked young, she had a fresh charm. It was like seeing a freshman.
“Can I ask you for a favor?”
Even in a situation where there were only six corpses scattered around, Yoo Ah-rin was calm enough to not look like she was 20 years old.
Most women of that age would be horrified and run away.
She was not an ordinary strong-hearted person.
“What is it?”
Yoo Ah-rin glared at Lee Gyu-ho with cold, subdued eyes.
“Please let me kill that man. I’ll give you all the WP.”
“W-What is that crazy bitch saying?!”
Lee Gyu-ho screamed in horror, but I didn’t want to pay much attention to him.
“Why?”
“He told me to sell my body.”
I nodded.
“Kill him.”
“Thank you.”
Yoo Ah-rin bowed her head.
Immediately after, she drew her sword at an incredible speed and ran towards Lee Gyu-ho.
Although Lee Gyu-ho, who was flustered, raised his sword, it took less than 5 seconds for his neck to fly away, drawing a red trajectory.
He rolled around on the floor a few times before stopping next to his colleagues.
Yoo Ah-rin, who was shaking off the blood on her sword, looked relieved.
