Chapter 105: How A Veteran Trains A Pet (1)

The transaction was done.

Of course, the place of trade wouldnt be inside the labyrinth.

I will come there. I missed the cup of coffee I had in the library. After all, good coffee is best enjoyed in a cozy place.

Jin-hyuk said something he didnt mean.

But

[Hmm. If that is the case, I will open the gate which comes this way]

Rick wiggled his tail.

What?

Did it sound like he was up to something?

There was a bit of hesitation in his voice and, after a short moment.

[Fufu. No. Surprisingly things turned out a little interesting. Not for other players, but only Player Kang Jin-hyuk deserves to come here.]

Rick managed to mumble those words out.

What?

Did he do something?

Jin-hyuk tilted his head and, at that moment.

Woong!

A large gate appeared in front of him.

This?

Jin-hyuk frowned slightly. This gate was different from what he had seen up until now.

The base was made of pure white ivory, and a gold mist covered the center of the gate, which was unusual.

That is what he meant.

Now he understood what Rick meant.

Before going to the village of the elves, he had planned to spend some time wandering around the dungeons.

Fun.

It didnt seem like this would just end at a simple deal.

Jin-hyuk took a step forward.

As soon as he crossed the gate, his vision turned black.

Woong!

As his darkened vision returned, the view in front of him changed completely.

An endless desert.

Under the blazing sun was a city filled with a brilliant ancient civilization.

Yah

Jin-hyuk let out a dry breath.

It felt like his lips were already burning.

At that moment.

Come here, Player Kang Jin-hyuk. I was waiting for you.

Rick greeted him in a black suit.

Couldnt he give up his suit under this scorching sun?

Just looking at Rick made Jin-hyuk feel even hotter.

I thought we would be in the library. I didnt think the gate would lead to a place like this. Were you enjoying a vacation?

Jin-hyuk pretended to not know.

Haha. I wish I was on vacation too, but I am here for work. Well you see. The Egyptian God that the player knows. This is where they are. They also wanted to meet player Jin-hyuk, so can you go along with them?

Right

The 42nd floor of the Tower of Trials.

This was the upper part of the Tower that most players wouldnt dare to imagine reaching. And now he had been invited there.

It must be because his lie of being protected by an Egyptian God had finally been exposed.

Do they want to see how I stumble before a God?

Or do they want to see how the situation is dealt with?

He didnt know which of the two was the purpose.

Well

No matter what he imagined, the result was bound to be different than he expected.

Rick acted as a guide as they entered the city. Many eyes focused on them the moment they stepped foot inside.

They were not human eyes.

Their bodies were of humans, but their heads were eagles, snakes, cats, and jackals.

I can already see the beings on the 42nd floor.

Jin-hyuk thought about his past. Usually, it would take a long time to get here, but thanks to Rick, he was getting an exciting experience.

It was also the first time he had met the Gods in person before reaching level 100.

As Jin-hyuk looked around the city, its residents were also strangely looking at Jin-hyuk.

Yah! Yah! Look there! A human!

Oh! I heard the humans entered the Tower, but for them to come this far!

Seeing as they came with Mr. Rick, they must have come through the gate, right?

Amazing. Getting his approval means that he is a special one among the humans, right?

Maybe he came to get the choice?

Already?

The whispers grew louder.

I feel like an elephant in a zoo.

Jin-hyuk smiled as Rick, who was next to him, said.

I am sorry. Since you are coming here for the first time, I wanted to give a little tour of the place, but I pulled you into something uncomfortable.

No. This is a fresh experience.

The views of the 42nd floor he didnt need it.

This was a familiar place.

He even knew that the 13th pot inside Anubis bedroom was a fake, but he would still have to act naive there.

He didnt care about others, but Rick being suspicious of him wouldnt be a good thing right now.

Did the Egyptian Gods say they wanted to meet me?

Yes. Thats it.

When I see you smiling mischievously, I dont think the reason is good.

After learning that player deceived me by claiming that you are protected by themhmm. Let me tell you.

Rick pointed to the desert in the distance. There was an impressive crater dug out of the flat sands there.

At one time, a Sphinx and a Pyramid used to be there.

A short sentence.

So.

It meant that when the Gods became angry, theyd go around and destroy large buildings.

When Rick was done speaking, he looked for Jin-hyuks reaction.

He expected Jin-hyuk to be nervous and regretful of what he had done after being frightened by the power of a God.

But

Such a shame. There must have been quite a few treasures, so why did all of them get broken? As expected, they are different.

Jin-hyuk just clicked his tongue as if he had no fear.

Mr. Jin-hyuk isnt scared?

His opponent was a god.

They were absolute rulers of the upper floors of the Tower. On the other hand, Jin-hyuk was a player who had entered the Tower just recently.

Both sides were incomparable to each other.

Yet

Well. Why should I be afraid of the 42nd floor instead of the 50th floor?

Jin-hyuk smiled.

Where did this confidence come from?

It was as if he implied that a God was easy to handle. His arrogance was touching the sky, to the point that it would be ridiculous to simply call him gutsy.

But why?

Rick didnt think that his confidence was baseless bravado.

He just felt it

And this was the instinct that he had built through countless years.

Puahaha! Indeed! As I thought, Player Jin-hyuk never disappoints. Interesting. So fun. I was quite tired of living the same life for long, but I dont think living such a long time like that is bad either.

Rick burst into laughter as if he was genuinely enjoying this.

From what he had seen, he was confident of one thing.

The charm he felt from Player Kang Jin-hyuk would not fade quickly.

This time he tried to create a problematic situation to confuse him.

But it didnt even phase him.

I dont know why. But I feel it. Mr. Jin-hyuk, I feel like one day you will be able to come all the way here.

Strange.

Strange. How so?

In the not too distant future, I also thought I would come here.

As expected.

He always had to get the last word.

Rick smiled.

Hehe. I am also looking forward to that day. Of course, when that time comes, I would like you to bring a bigger deal than Medusa.

After that, they spoke about casual things.

In the meantime, they arrived at a palace built of white marble.

This was the place where the Egyptian Gods resided.

[White Oasis]

I will be in and out for a moment. We have to inform the guards that we have arrived.

Yes. Sure.

Jin-hyuk gave a short response as he licked his lips.

Before I meet people with no brain, I need to prepare a bit.

Since he had predicted what kind of event would happen, it was necessary to prepare accordingly.

Even if I am a veteran and I meet the Gods a lot, that doesnt mean I go in unprepared.

Jin-hyuk activated his status window.

He was currently holding 2,153,188 coins.

This was the result of his 5th-floor video and past videos, which gave him consistent dividends.

It was a similar amount to what a large guild would possess. It would be absurdly inefficient to use this value to buy items that even gods could not resist.

But that doesnt matter.

I have never been obsessed with coins.

If it wasnt enough, he would find another way.

There was always a way for a veteran to do it.

Jin-hyuk opened the Coin Exchange to begin his purchase.

What should I say about this? Ah, this

Puahaha! What is this? This is fun.

Dont talk nonsense! Have you forgotten how much I suffered because of him?

Several voices spoke out inside the palace.

Right, this was how it was.

The people in front of Jin-hyuk were figures revered as Gods.

Absolute beings who could take down mountains with a simple gesture.

Those who most people would look at in fear.

However, the Gods, who usually would not lose their composure, were now shocked.

Horus commented on the absurdity of the situation.

Osiris thought that it was interesting.

Of course, Anubis had suffered a lot, so his anger was palpable.

And at the center was Jin-hyuk.

Is it unreasonable to receive an egg kept here in exchange for Medusa? Considering the Horus collection, I dont think it is a bad deal?

Jin-hyuk shrugged.

I dont know where you picked up information about the egg, but that isnt something a human can afford.

Horus drew the line.

It was so absurd that it was not even worth considering.

Well. After all, I have quite a knack for taming wild animals.

There were no bad animals in this world.

There was always a suitable method to tame pets.

You are treating a divine beast as a normal animal. No matter how ignorant you are, this crosses the line.

Horus sighed.

On the other hand, Osiris was stroking his chin with twinkling eyes.

It was quite interesting to see a human boldly demand what he wanted.

Why? Give it to him. Dont you think it will be fun?

Osiris!

No, he cannot hatch it, let alone tame one! Forget this. Just take the Medusa back.

Kukuku!

Osiris gently released his power. In an instant, the air began to freeze.

Indeed, a God was at a level where they would cause a disaster by being slightly pissed.

As the situation began to deteriorate, Rick, who was next to Jin-hyuk, stepped forward.

Haha. No, you arent speaking about breaking the rules in front of this old man, right? Player Kang Jin-hyuk came here as a guest. It is okay to play with humans, but I ask you to do it within the set limit.

Ah. I was just joking. I know it. Those damned rules.

At the mention of the rules, Osiris returned to normal.

At that moment.

I dont need anything.

Anubis, who had been grinding his teeth for a long time, came forward.

Thud!

A mummy over two meters tall appeared.

The bandages made it seem like a typical mummy, but the magic emanating from it felt like a dungeon boss.

Five seconds. Against this opponent, if you hold out for five seconds, I will exchange Medusa for the egg. Or whatever you want. It will not be anything against the rules and laws. Do you accept the terms?

Anubis spread his hand.

Five seconds is all I need to hold out for?

Right. But remember that the opponent can take your life at any

Anubis didnt get to finish his sentence.

Between one word and another, the sword strikes flashed like lightning and swept through his mummys body.

Kiiik

The giant mummy was split in half.

Swish!

The upper body, which had ceased functioning, fell to the ground.

The palace fell into silence.
