Published at 6th of September 2023 05:50:51 AM

. Ricknoth's Pawnshop

What appeared beyond the familiar gate... .

jerk.

It was Rick Hennessy, one of the middle managers.

you're finally here It's like this squirrel-like inspiration.

Heh heh. Oh, my, my.... Looking at it, you must have been very angry.

Rick burst out laughing.

His relaxed appearance touched Jinhyuk's nerves even more.

The voice went cold.

Obviously, didn't you say that you would prevent the manifestation of the higher powers? Demon Clan's manifestation and Friedman's live editing. These were the conditions I demanded.

Of course, I remembered the terms of the transaction. But, the barrier was so well prepared that there was a hole in the barrier? Thanks to you, I forgot too.

There's a hole in the barrier that Rick, the middle manager of the world, made? Are you telling me to believe it?

Sauron is sitting there talking about lasik surgery.

I don't know where they are telling such a blatant lie with an innocent face on the subject of turning on the map hack and looking at every nook and cranny of the tower.

As the atmosphere began to cool down, Rick added a word hastily.

Heh heh! Big! It wasn't on purpose. Actually, we had trouble on our side as well.

Hey. You'd be right. Of course, what it is is a secret, right?

No. It's our mistake, and I have to tell you. A few hours ago... Moorim launched a pre-emptive strike against the Empire. It's just like sending an advance squad, but part of the 24th floor has been completely turned into ruins.

At Rick's words, this time Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

'Oh.'

look at this

Did you attack the empire first in Moorim, where the size of the power was reduced?

Has it been crouched up until now?

'Jeongfani, Saffany... People who don't work well together and have a huge headache called Heavenly Demon Protestantism would make such a decision.'

This is going to be fun

I didn't know what the plot was, but it was obvious that it would have a huge impact on the future of the tower.

I understand there are circumstances. That doesn't mean Rick can break his contract with me.

Of course. Even if it doesn't, as a bonus concept to Jinhyuk in the sense of apology, one of the items I have is 'true number'

I'm trying to give you my rights... How are you?

It's not just giving, it's 'can buy'

I'll give you the right... .

Indeed, Rickdown.

It means that you are considering what to choose as well as how to negotiate as a point of observation at the same time as compensation.

"As Jinhyuk-sama already knows, the items I have are not common in the tower."

Yes. I know it well.

In fact, Rick, the owner of the group, had a lot of treasures that the players couldn't get no matter how hard they tried to save them.

Opportunities like this don't come often.

In addition, since Macedros gained various benefits, including the 'Key to the Rift', I was able to give a brief grace period for Rick's atrocities.

very for awhile.

Okay. Let's do that.

It's a wise decision. Well, what do you want? We also have weapons, armor, accessories, relics, and various elixirs, so please feel free to tell us as long as your balance allows.

Well. I don't think I'll be able to buy or do anything with my coins because I used up all my coins a while ago. I'll barter instead.

Hmm. It's not bad either, but Jinhyuk-sama might have something that I might be interested in... Heo Eok!

uuung!

When Jinhyuk activated the subspace inventory, Rick's eyes expanded as if they were about to pop out.

I had no choice but to do so.

It was because it was none other than a sweet potato that was toddling around without knowing anything.

Okay. Come here.

mosquito!

The sweet potato slipped into Jinhyuk's arms and hugged him.

Closing your eyes gently and enjoying your hands is a dragon that never fails.

Oh, are you saying that you are going to exchange the ancient species...?

Rick's voice trembled violently.

On the other hand.

"Mom, Mogiii!?"

The sweet potato, noticing something strange, struggled in Jinhyuk's arms.

Be quiet.

Even if I give you a million dollars, you won't give up.

Ah! I'm telling you in advance for fear of misunderstanding, I'm not exchanging sweet potatoes.

Well then...?

I'll give you a sweet potato scale.

What an ancient scale!

Greed flashed in Rick's eyes.

...what do you want in return?

A 'compass' that marks where cracks appear. I'm sure... I know that Rick-san has it too, right?

Now that you've got the key from Macedros, all you need to do is figure out where the rift comes from.

Jinhyuk was going to solve it through Rick.

Their eyes cross each other's eyes.

From now on, this is the main game of negotiation.

[[Rick Hennessy Lv25 'Deep Sigh']

Activate the skill.]

Uh-huh...

Rick frowned and stroked his chin with his hand.

The deep drooling sound that seemed to drain the soul was only admirable whenever he heard it.

"I like the scales of ancient species, but it is difficult to get my price because they are not adults and do not even know their true name. In addition, they have to be stored in a special solution because the maintenance cost is not a joke. Of course, there will be customers who are looking for them. It may or may not be possible, right? It's just that I have to bear all the risks on my own... It's not easy.

The lengthy explanation was close to bullshit, but it was strangely convincing.

Maintenance and inventory issues, low demand due to rarity, etc.

From an economic point of view, it seems to have a good assortment.

[[Rick Hennessy Lv22 'Strike']

Activate the skill.]

I mean... I will do it on condition that you lend me 10 scales and an ancient bell for a week. Whoa, whoa. Really, this is the limit. On the contrary, I am at a loss, but as Jinhyuk-nim, I do this under special conditions."

Again, a strange mana was included in the eloquence.

Anyway, one timing to use the skill is crazy.

Just because he slashes everything in half, doesn't mean he's nicknamed Ricknoth.

Hmm .

Jinhyuk, who was listening quietly, nodded.

It's not about accepting it.

I was trying to pretend that I didn't know if I had put forward a suitable condition. As long as it comes out to the bone in this way, you have to play it properly.

It would be easier to just talk to Mr. Hasting. I don't think I can communicate with Mr. Rick. Please call your supervisor.

Yes... yes? What do you mean by that...

Rick stuttered, as if in great perplexity.

I tried to pass on one big mistake considering my relationship with Rick. But, aren't you actually trying to hit me? I'm sure you're forgetting, but the manager's breach of contract is a felony. would you?

It is the habit of the deceased to forget grace but not the enemy, so he remembers it very clearly.

What the junior manager 'Karman' did.

gulp .

Dry saliva ran down Rick's throat.

It was because he instinctively felt that the situation was not serious.

I think it's normal if the favor continues, but it's a pity. Personally, I really liked Mr. Rick.

Come on, wait! I'm sorry! I... I! I was wrong.

Rick grabbed Jinhyuk's sleeve with a pale face.

I didn't want to even imagine what would happen if Hasting came here.

How do you pass the compass?

I'll give you one scale...

In the end, Rick raised the white flag.

However.

Jinhyuk did not accept the white flag.

Actually, there was no need for that.

Now the initiative has completely shifted to this side.

Um. I really, really, really want to give it to you, but now that I look at it, our sweet potato looks so pitiful.

Mosquito... Mosquito mosquito.

The eyes of the sweet potato were wet with the thought of plucking the raw scales.

This is something that, as a human being, cannot afford to do. How could you do such a savage thing with those piercing eyes?

no way .

Give it for free.

What do you like about being a regular? In times like these, we're kind to each other.

No, considering how many scams I've been deceived by Rick in the past, this doesn't even count as a victim.

Ah, no matter how much it's free...

I can't do it, so then, where do you go and try it yourself?

Jinhyuk gently stroked the sweet potato's hair.

Whoops!

mosquito!

Sweet potato exposed pointed fangs.

It was the eyes that felt the will to chew it and eat it as it is if I touched it with my fingertips.

Well, even middle managers.

Your liver won't stick out of your stomach enough to touch the scales of an ancient species.

Ugh...

I knew it.

Rick retrieved his outstretched hand.

Send the compass to my subspace inventory. It will take some time to find it, so I'll give it three days.

"I see I will. Let's do that. Please, please, keep this a secret from Hasting-sama."

Don't worry about that. Instead, please take care that Mr. Rick gets the damned sub-manager properly punished.

Personally, I never wanted to see that guy face again.

I didn't even want to get stabbed in the back of the head.

sure.

I won't let you appear in the tower again, so you don't have to worry about that.

Rick's anger for throwing a treasure alive was sure to be directed at Kaman, so there's no need to worry.

timely.

[The 8th and 9th floors have been attacked]

[You have achieved an amazing achievement.]

[This event will be inducted into the 'Hall of Fame' for one day tomorrow.]

[Level has risen.]

[Level has risen.]

[Level is .]

[ ] It went up.]

[You have acquired +500,000 coins.]

[['Title']

You have acquired the right to choose one.]

[You can check the details of the title through detailed information.]

A successive status window revealed who the true winner of this battle was.

With this everything was finished.

Now it's time to get out of the maze.

Two familiar faces appeared in the old-fashioned room.

One was Senior Manager Hasting, sitting in a chair, sipping tea.

The other was Sub-Administrator Kahman, who was trembling and terrified.

Darely, the crime of breaking the rules of the tower and trying to take care of his teeth from the bosses was so heavy that he had to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

But.

That wasn't the reason why Kaman was trembling in fear now.

"Ha, Hasting-sama sa, please help me. I made a mistake."

That's it.

Hasting put down his cup of tea.

There was a particularly loud clicking sound.

I was so supportive not to fail, but I blew up the board. This is really annoying. I'm really upset.

The cold voice and the energy captured like a blade... .

It was hard to think of it as the mild Hastings of the past.

"Hey hey hey."

Kaman took a small step backwards.

His face, completely tired of fear and fear, was filled with only the desire to 'live'.

Especially, didn't you line up the higher Demon Clan this time, so that no matter how stupid you are, you don't fail.

The reason why a sub-manager was able to link the two tiers and even summon Macedros from the demon world.

It was all possible because Hasting was behind the scenes.

I deliberately chose a low-level manager so as not to be noticed, but I guess I made a mistake. You've been working hard all this time, Mr. Karman.

with it.

Hasting's conversation has come to an end.

I, please...!

with a desperate cry.

Kwajik!

The entire space engulfed Kaman's body.

But right then.

dreaming

A shadow filled with unidentified tentacles fell in the room.

[ ] .]

An ominous feeling that cannot be described by text and language began to encroach on the room.

Even Hasting shuddered and shuddered.

Don't worry too much. Primordial Masters. I will do my best to keep no one from accessing your supreme sanctuary... this hasting will do its best.
