Chapter 375 – #100. 6th Floor (2).
#100. 6th floor.
The demon king’s neck fell and my abilities grew.
Maybe it was because he fought alone, he climbed quite a bit.
A portal was created behind the throne where the demon king was sitting.
If you go there, you can rush to the 6th floor.
We went up to the 6th floor.
The magic of the demonic castle disappeared and a clear atmosphere was felt.
Thanks to the air purifying filter, I was able to breathe in much more pleasant air than on the 5th floor.
“Here… 6th floor?”
Isilia and Orihime look around the 6th floor.
It is not a fantasy world run by magic, but a total set of technologies created by science.
The 6th floor, the space battleship is the main background.
From their eyes, I couldn’t help but wonder.
“They are new friends.”
“I don’t think it’s a guild unit. Did you come up for a small party? How great?”
All players coming up from the 5th floor are summoned to the central plaza.
That means there are people around you.
The players staying on the 6th floor showed interest in us.
It was made up of different races.
Because it is a player who has reached the upper level, the level can be guaranteed.
Ironically, however, there were many cases in which the condition was more serious than that of the lower classes.
Arms cut off or one leg missing.
Due to the potion’s potion’s efficacy being drastically reduced, damage such as amputation could not be recovered.
In addition, since it was suffered by the parasitic host parasite, it was impossible to return to its original state through natural recovery of the victim.
I need a priest…
Priests who are skilled enough to go up to the 6th floor are few in the first place.
Priests who have dedicated themselves to the guild alive so far are very few.
Probability of bestowing the priest’s power, which is such an important force, to other players.
Zero.
‘That’s why it’s also the section where the number of cyborgs increases.’
When body organs are damaged, mechanical equipment assists the body.
There is a system for him in the space battleship, which is the background of the 6th floor.
Substituting biological organs with mechanical devices gives the parasite host parasite an advantage.
Although the value of one’s own race was diminishing, there was an advantage on the 6th floor.
“Welcome.”
As we stood there dumbfounded, one of the spectators stepped out.
It was an orc whose lower body was completely replaced with a mechanical device.
‘The voice…’
A mechanical device is also attached to the neck.
Did you hurt your vocal cords?
Because of this, it was not the original voice of the orc.
“It might be awkward since he just came up, but he’s a player climbing the ‘Tower of Struggle’. I think he will be able to adapt quickly.”
He is a worn-out player.
I wasn’t young enough to parent because the environment had changed.
“The 6th floor is living in a free atmosphere. The inside of the battleship is all of the 6th floor… Because the battleship is incredibly wide.”
One battleship is comparable to a three-story kingdom.
If you have enough coins, you can live without lack until you die.
It is the most developed layer within the ‘Tower of Struggle’, so there is no discomfort.
“Instead, there is one thing I have to promise you.”
The orc spread his index finger and focused his gaze.
I couldn’t help but stare at the body that didn’t match the beautiful voice.
“Sometimes monsters from the outside start an invasion. Parasites, parasitic hosts, encroach on space battleships. In that case, the players have to come together to stop it, but they have to respond to the conscription unconditionally.”
Parasites periodically invade.
At that time, all guilds and players on the 6th floor step forward to block it.
It was a treaty that had been handed down from an innumerable past.
‘Important information is being conveyed while remaining hidden.’
There are conditions that prevent parasite invasion.
That condition would only be communicated to the heads of the 6th floor.
“Other than that, freedom is guaranteed. It’s not a safe zone inside the battleship, but unless you’ve lost your fear, you won’t harm it.”
If a PK occurs within the space battleship, it thoroughly retaliates.
Since the players were summoned from various dimensions, there are endless ways to find out the culprit.
However, we cannot do anything about the PK that occurred in ‘Sirius’, the mother of the parasitic host parasite.
Since there is no evidence that PK has occurred, it is impossible to deal with it.
During the hunt, each person has to be careful on their own.
“If you have any questions, you can ask the other players and ask them. If you haven’t joined a guild, we recommend taking this opportunity to find a guild you can join. For the four of us to survive… The 6th floor is quite difficult.”
Parasitic host parasite.
It is a monster that has compatibility with all living things except for cyborgs.
‘If you touch me even once… There’s nothing I can do about it because it’s gone.’
Organisms such as cells that are not mechanical devices cannot block parasites.
The moment you touch it, you have to cut out that part.
Otherwise, you will die within tens of hours…
“Thank you for letting me know.”
Dahee Yu came forward and organized it.
I passed the orc who taught me the basics and left the central square.
I didn’t think the players’ eyes would fall.
Since the upper layer was already stagnant, the new force had no choice but to draw attention.
Merger or alliance.
Since our numbers are small, everyone must be aiming for a merger.
“How does it roll here?”
Dahee Yoo asked while walking.
In the central square, there are passages on all sides.
Each area can be branched out, and each aisle has close to thousands of rooms.
Even while walking down the aisle, I could feel the gaze around me.
The windows in each room would make eye contact.
“We need to buy a room.”
“With coins?”
“Uh. And since each room has a different structure, the price varies widely. Most of the rooms already have owners.”
Can be seen as an advantage.
If you purchase a room with additional features from the guild that came up first, then it will continue to be passed on to the next generation.
There are several additional features.
The most popular feature is, of course, the recovery facility.
An organ that amplified the natural healing power was a device welcomed by any guild.
Of course, not everyone can have it.
It was like a poisoned Holy Grail in that it could always be a PK target.
“But we don’t have to greedy for a room like that.”
I have a divinity.
A divinity of overwhelming performance that cannot even be compared to recovery rooms.
Attaching a severed body?
It’s very simple.
If it’s not dead, it’s possible to bring it back to normal.
They said that the value of a priest shines more brightly in the upper layers.
“Then shall we get a normal room?”
“That would be better.”
It is better to have a room as large as possible.
You can’t use it by changing the internal structure, but it’s better to be wide than narrow.
“Let’s go to the residential area for now.”
The space battleship is divided into each zone.
There is a separate arsenal and maintenance facility, and there are lodging facilities for the crew.
It’s not that the armory doesn’t have a room for lodging, but it’s not that wide, so it’s a room that most guilds would refuse.
Each room is given a code.
If it is a room with major facilities, it is called by its name.
Most of the rooms in the residential area are coded only.
“Can we just get one room?”
“Uh?”
“I heard that the power is divided between each guild? Then it’s good for us to stick together. Is not it?”
Dahee Yoo naturally insisted.
It was true, so I couldn’t refute it.
In fact, other guilds seek large-scale accommodating facilities, and then expand their territory.
A room like a room for 20 people would be used as a guild house.
‘Even if it’s impossible to change the internal structure, it’s okay to put something inside.’
First of all, securing a large space was a priority.
“Then… We have a room for 10 people.”
[D-10-21]
Dahee Yoo stood in front of the tightly closed door.
Since no one owns it, the display for recognition is quiet.
“It’s 1 billion to live at all. Wow, that’s expensive.”
Dahee Yoo was disgusted and firmly paid the bill.
Coins were overflowing, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Beep-.
A light came on on the display.
Recognizing Yoo Da-hee’s information, he opened the door.
The 6th floor is different from the ‘room’ on the 4th floor.
It only has ownership within the space battleship, and there are no major merits or debuffs.
But, that’s enough.
Not sleeping in the hallway, getting a bed that is disconnected from the outside.
The value of 100 million won per person is enough and remains.
Of course, we wrote more than that.
“You have to register here. Then we can open and close the room too.”
I put my hand on the recognition display.
Information about me would have been passed on to Dahee Yoo.
“Well…”
Dahee Yoo scans the air.
It seemed to read my information.
[Registration failed.]
“Uh?”
“Kim Jin-woo is eliminated.”
Dahee Yoo rejected my registration.
At the same time, Isilia and Orihime accepted.
“Why don’t I?”
“My heart.”
Dahee Yu quickly turned her head.
Isilia and Orihime entered the room as well.
“Sir, just come in.”
As I stood blankly in front of the door, Orihime pulled me over.
It was just that the closed room could not be opened, and it was possible to come and go.
If I am alone outside or inside, I will be in a state of complete exile and confinement.
A sigh came out of my mouth.
“Oh oh… Surprisingly good.”
The room was spacious.
The downside was that it was long and open, so it was impossible to distinguish private life.
The division of personal life between us was meaningless.
This structure has already been experienced.
‘It’s better than the army.’
During my military service, our platoon dormitory did not have beds.
I used to use a normal table, but at that time, even if I set it wide, it was less than 10 pyeong.
Fifteen years have been spent in such a place.
This 10-person room was close to heaven.
“Really wide…”
Dahee Yu looks around.
It was a 10-person room, but the usable area was more than that.
I think it’s about 30 or so.
There is no shortage of writing with four people.
It seemed like it was too much.
“Don’t you have anything to take out? Everything you need is provided…”
There are five pairs of simple beds built facing each other.
In a separated space, there are two toilets and two shower booths of 1 pyeong.
A table in the center, ten chairs, and even various convenience equipment.
“Applause comes naturally.”
Occupied a bed.
It was the most corner seat.
And I called the kids.
“Now that I’m on the 6th floor, I’ll have to try the parasite flavor.”
There is no reason to stay in a residential facility for a long time.
When you’re done organizing, it’s right to go to the parasite mother planet ‘Sirius’ right away.
Because it’s a returner.
There was no need to be afraid.
“Do you know how it goes? I haven’t heard any explanation.”
“… There is a transmission facility down to the mother planet. Warp Gate.”
All players inside the battleship descend through the warp gate to the parasite mother planet.
For this reason, there are many convenient facilities near the warp gate.
Whether it’s a repair facility or a rapid healing facility.
Various facilities are provided to take care of emergency patients.
Of course, you have to pay a high price to use them.
There was no way the guilds that had already occupied it would give it up.
“Let’s go for now.”
Dahee Yoo put her clothes down on the bed next to me.
Aicilia and Orihime frowned, but couldn’t say anything to Dahee Yoo.
The two got up from their seats after fighting over the seats across from each other.
The seat across from him was taken by Orihime.
“Dad… !”
“Who are you calling daddy? I’ve never had a daughter like you.”
“… That doesn’t mean… !”
Dahee Yoo cut Aicilia who was trying to tease her.
We headed to the warp gate.
