Chapter 21 – Luxury Coffee Cup (3)
- gong-ja-nim! It's straight. Kill her.
“Mati.”
ah -Ah. Gongja-nim yang. He bluffs. Ah, pity. Call him and kill him.
“Call.”
-Dang. He has the same card as Gong-ja-nim. But what can we do? Two pairs of Gong-ja-nim are the highest? Heehee. It's delightful. Let's keep going until we die, Gong-ja-nim!
“Upload.”
- Wow. He's trying to get a full house? Gongja-nim yang. Don'worry. I just looked down at the table to see the cards. He won't get a full house. Trust me, and go!
“All in.”
About 30 rounds of poker continue.
“· …………….”
The man across from me was shaking. Viper. The one-eyed hunter is on fire.
“Dirt! It's scam! ”
The viper exploded. The explosion! Table vibrates. The other hunters raised their cups as they expected. Fortunately, we were able to avoid spilled coffee. Mm. The right time.
“This doesn't make sense! It's been 30 rounds but this guy has never lost. Even bluffing doesn't work. It's scam! I don't know if it's passive, but he's using a goddamn skill! That's scam! A scam! ”
Do you have any evidence?
I sip my hot chocolate. It is now cold, and becomes a diluted chocolate latte. It's delicious too.
“I may be an expert in poker. I'll feel guilty if you accuse me like this without any evidence. Look at me well, sunbae-nim.
“Hey, is this really a Class F hunter?!”
The Poisonous Hunter shouted while looking at his surroundings.
“How can this be a Class F hunter! I'd believe if you said the Association lied about it after taking the side money. At least he's Class B! ”
“Wow. How do you know that I'm not an F class? ”
“Good? I know I'm…. ”
“Actually, I became a Class E Hunter yesterday. But I was busy cleaning the 10th floor yesterday and I can't tell the Association. ”
“…”
I smile.
“Thank you for judging me so highly. And Mr. Sir. You're out of chips. ”
“Eh..”
The Venomous Snake turned around and walked with great difficulty. To the outer zone. That's where people without chips sit.
“Welcome! Chen-mu Master! ”
The perverted questioner, who came out first, smiled brightly.
“I think it's time for you to come out. I ordered another espresso! You don't have to refuse. Drink as much as you want. ”
“I don't like espresso..”
“Iya! I-i know. Being a voter is bad! ”
“Fucking fanatic..”
The Venomous Snake sitting in the outer zone looked like he was about to cry.
Now, there are 3 hunters left in the game. L am. The Black Dragon Witch. And unexpectedly, the Crusaders.
“Mm.”
The Crusader saw his card and frowned. He was the deputy leader of the Civil Militia. A hunter who is famous for his truth. The Civil Militia was a union established to protect the capital on the first floor. They're like cops. And I heard he donated all his wealth to an orphanage or something.
“I lost.”
The Crusaders put down their cards while sighing.
“I think I have a pretty good poker face. Gong-ja Kim. Do you have clairvoyant skills? ”
“Maybe. It could be clairvoyant or telepathic. Just guess. ”
“Beginner lately.”
The Crusaders smiled bitterly. He leaned over and moved into the outer zone.
“Hei! How could you just give up! ”
The Venomous Snake shouted furiously at him. The part around his mouth was messy, like he was spilling his espresso.
“You should stay next to him like a hunting dog even though you think it won't work! Are you going to leave that con! ”
“Con artist. That's too much for a new hero. ”
“He obviously uses skill!”
The Crusaders shrugged their shoulders.
“I know from the beginning.”
“Hah? What?”
“Thank if I don't know. Does a beginner really suggest a game of luck without any preparation? The fact that he challenged us in this game meant he told us he could use his skills and get away with it without being caught. And we accepted the challenge. ”
The snake gaped with its mouth open.
“T, so ya?”
“Chen-mu Master .. It's good that you work hard for martial arts, but use your head.”
The Crusaders looked towards the Venomous Serpent pitifully.
“Since the beginning, we have nothing to lose. If we win, it will be great. But even if we lose, as the beginner said. He would register with all the guilds here. And that in itself is a pretty good result. ”
“B, But. We have our pride! How we will be treated the same as.. ”.
“Is vanity feeding you?”
The Venomous Snake was speechless.
“Espresso feed you! Here, Chen-mu Master. Drink!”
“Fuuck..”.
In the end, a Rank 2 player remained, the Black Mage.
And my.
Us two.
“…”
The witch focused on her card and spoke.
“This is a relief.”
“What?”
“Because you can get us.”
The witch staked her chip. Ups. He raised the standard. Is he trying to provoke me?
“I'm from Ukraine. To be exact, I am from where Ukraine used to be. With the war, after I lost my family, I suffered a lot. As you know. A woman who lives alone outside or in this tower is tough. ”
“I think so.”
I gladly accepted his provocation. Lift back. I raised the stakes.
“…”
He hesitated for a moment and knocked on the table twice. That is he received the victory. The count spreads the cards as the dealer.
“So, what do you want to say?”
“Everyone in the tower. And especially the first generation. It's hard to find someone who doesn't have a heart-breaking story. I am also an ordinary orphan. ”
My card is one pair.
“... This peak is like my hometown.”
It is a flush.
“In the tower, people don't ask where you're from. No, we made it like this. The fact that I am from Ukraine. Your Chen teacher is from China. That you are from Korea.it doesn't matter in our tower. ”
“Is that so?”
“Iya. Thanks to the blessing of the tower, we were able to understand each other. Here, we're all the same. More than the outside world. ”
If this continues, I will lose.
But I raised the stakes even higher calmly.
“People outside assume here the trash can.”
“Even roses bloom in the trash can.”
The witch gave a call signal.
“Kim Gong-ja's. When the clock in the sky shows [00:00:00], the media will spread articles about you. You will start a different life than before. Hope you deal with it wisely. ”
“That sounds good.”
Another card is flipped over the table.
“I don't brag, but I like attention. I love it when people praise me and envy me. It's truth. That's all it is. ”
Now my cards are two pairs.
“... You are honest. I think you're the opposite of Sword Saint. ”
The card's still a flush. I have a shorter hand, but.
“All in.”
“…”
“I'm confident.”
I took my eyes off the card to look at him.
“I'll tell you everything now while we discuss this topic. I don't want to be treated like you because I just finished the 10th floor. 20 Floor. 30. The 40th. The 50th. And the 100th. I will conquer them all. No matter how long. ”
“…”
“I know you think the tower is special. I appreciate that. I don't plan on fighting in vain with all of you. But I consider you as my opponent. ”
Who was the first to climb the tower?
Who is called a hero?
To be remembered by people, to be complementary, to receive jealousy. To build the golden tower that everyone saw.
“I want to see the world outside the tower rather than inside the tower.”
I will climb the tower.
“Refugees. Starving. I don't have time to worry about that. Honestly. If you need my name, use it. How many times do you want. Just support me in climbing the tower. ”
The feeling of conquering the tower. I want to feel it again. I only tasted it once, but I felt like an addiction.
Because it's so amazing.
“...See.”
The Witch sighed after silence.
“I think wrong. You are not the opposite of the Holy Sword, but exactly the same. ”
The Witch put in all the chips. Clatters. They all gathered in the middle of the table like a small mountain.
All in.
Is that a compliment?
“No, it's a curse. The greedy man. ”
Last card turned. The opponent's card is a flush. Mine is. Full House.
That's compliment.
I smile.
“Thank you.”
That was my victory.
“Lalu seperti yang dijanjikan, kuharap aku diperlakukan sama seperti kalian semua.”
“Can I expect that the more authority you have, the more work you will have?”
“Hm? Isn't it a hunter's job to climb the Tower? Don'worry. I will continue to do the job as a hunter. ”
“A lazy beginner..”.
The witch smiled bitterly.
-mm. Kim Zombie is a little lazy. If there was a skill for laziness, he would reach Class S.
‘... Are you really going back to Kim Zombie as soon as the game ends?’
- Of course, you mutant zombie! Gong-ja-nim's ass! ‘
Bae Hu-ryeong flew away excitedly.
- zombies! A zombie! Zombie bastard! Wow, I didn't know I would miss this so much! I'll never bet with you again slacker!
‘Suffering ..’
How the person called the Sword Emperor was pitiful.
I clicked my tongue and stood up.
“You've left?”
“Iya. The 11th floor will open soon. I have to get ready now if I don't want to be behind other people. ”
“How will you prepare if you do not know what it contains?”
Mm.
“Not bad give them instructions here.”
Because I will be treated like them, it is not bad if they owe me a little. I organize my thoughts and talk.
“This is [Play].”
“Hm?”
“Floor themes 11 to 20 are [Play].”
Everyone looked at me with sparkling eyes. Clearly why. With even the smallest hint, you can move faster than others. The information I have given them now is priceless.
“They gave me instructions as a gift to clean the floor 10.”
That's lies.
I still haven't got the prize for the 10th floor. I guess I'll get it when the clock reaches 00:00:00. But I still know what will happen now.
Knowledge of the future. There is no reason not to use it.
“I don't know more than that.”
“...Thank you for sharing.”
The witch nodded her head.
I will definitely return this favor.
I hope for that.
