I Have Supported My Favorite Character for 10 Years

37. Something like a box is wagging its tongue.

***

A cave in the middle of a mountain.

“Aren’t you taking a break?”

“Take a break.”

“You need to rest.”

“Aren’t you taking a break?”

“Take a break.”

“You need to rest.”

Why on earth do we need a place like this?

I didn’t even have the same question.

Although it was referred to as a cave, it seems more accurate to think of it as a factory dug into the mountainside.

The cement cave was dug so deep that the end was not visible-

Because NPCs were standing in two rows on both sides of the cave.

Like products that have just been shipped from the factory.

‘Factory… ? ‘Is it really a factory?’

If you think like that, it again goes against the previous hypothesis.

If this is a game-like world, why would a factory be needed? The developer can just change it at will.

“… Ah.”

Then-

I discovered the gap between the hypothesis ‘This is a game-like world’ and the question ‘But why are there so many useless things?’

Developers who create games try not to include unnecessary elements.

There will be optimization issues, and the goal is to give users the most enjoyable experience possible.

Of course, even in games, there were cases where unnecessary things were added.

“Easter egg….”

So, is this entire rest area an Easter egg?

Whatever-

I think there might be an answer in that cave.

As soon as I got close, they all turned their heads and stared at me. With his unique, bizarre expression, he asked if I was going to take a break.

“Aren’t you taking a break?”

“Take a break.”

“You need to rest.”

“Yes, I won’t.”

Of course, unlike the strangeness, the fear disappeared.

“Aren’t you taking a break?”

“Take a break.”

“You need to rest.”

“I’m not doing it, so shut up you NPC bastards.”

Give me the Easter egg.

If possible, add my nickname as well.

I moved closer to the cave. Their voices grew louder.

“”Aren’t you taking a break?””

“”Take a break.””

“”You need to rest.””

“Maybe I should have brought earplugs.”

It is extremely noisy. NPCs like endless mannequins.

I covered my ears and took a step forward.

The cave was truly endless.

White cement wall. A white light bulb hanging on it. NPCs with strange expressions lined up on both sides.

The scenery was repeated over and over again.

[00:01:30]

Now, there is only 1 minute and 30 seconds left to stay in this resting place.

But there is still no end in sight to the oysters. So much so that I wonder if this makes physical sense.

“… “It’s sick.”

It may be an endless space in the system. Still, I have to see the end of what I came for.

‘Activate patron buff.’

The buff that had not been turned on for about a week was activated, and I felt a surge of vitality throughout my body.

Cheonwoon shot forward as is.

Quang—

[00:00:10]

Let’s run for over a minute at such a superhuman speed-

“… Is this the end?”

I was finally able to reach the end wall.

There were no NPC mannequins in front of the wall. Just an empty space.

Empty walls.

“Ha, this is the end?”

Swearing words just come out.

Time is up.

I don’t want to go back without any income.

[00:00:00]

The time indicated 0 seconds. Now it will be automatically transferred to the next floor.

That time waiting to be transmitted.

Suddenly, an unexpected hologram appeared before my eyes.

— You who have not rested…

Kugugugugugugugu—

— What was the reason you came to the resting place?

“If you put it that way, what is the reason for the existence of this space in the first place?”

Holograms had no answer.

Something just popped out of the cracked wall, making a loud noise.

[Α] Shaped piece. It was automatically sucked into my identity card.

[The alpha key has been saved in the app.]

[The sponsor app is updating.]

[Jin Sponsor]

Update in progress…

***

Thanks to Uncle Chugwan and Yuna, the path up was smooth.

Of course, there was a fork in the middle-

Anyway, the route splits to the left and right and then heads back to the next elite room.

“Since it’s just an experience, shall we check out the treasure room?”

In response to my question, Jenna said, “Good!” And I answered-

So we reached the treasure room.

There are only treasure chests lying around, and behind them is a portal leading to the next floor.

“What do you want to give in the treasure chest?”

“Treasure chests give you items that can only be used in the tower, or sometimes credits, jewels, etc.”

“Oh, then it would be nice if you gave me a jewel.”

The treasure chest was designed so that it could be opened without a key hole.

I approached the box and rubbed my hands.

“What will come out?”

Exciting reward time.

It feels like I’m running a gacha.

“Please use Dancha!”

I don’t know if there is a concept of SSR items.

Anyway, come out with something good.

The moment you grab the top of the box and try to open it.

“Guweee!”

The tongue stuck out of the box.

At the same time-

The box stuck its tongue out at Jenna and Azel.

— Occasionally, a Mimic will appear in the reward room instead of a chest. Therefore, it is best to keep women at a distance when opening the box. Mimic is a pervert who exposes women.

This is what Yeon Geun-gwan said in passing while climbing the tower the other day.

Those words came to Cheonun’s mind only now.

“No!!”

I activated the buff in a hurry.

The moment Mimic was about to stick her tongue out at Jenna.

She quickly extended her fist.

Quaaang—!

“Oh, brother!”

The Mimic was hit on one side of the wall and disappeared.

“Something like a box is wagging its tongue.”

And that too to my daughters.

Actually, even if it wasn’t me, Zena or Azel would have been able to handle it.

However, I feel quite good about the fact that I protected Azel and Jenna.

The buff is definitely good. I didn’t know I could react so quickly like Zena or Azel.

Furthermore, it was my first time catching a monster in person.

I burst out laughing.

Two people immediately came up to me and asked.

“Oppa, are you okay?”

“Joah, get healed!”

“I’m okay, are you okay?”

You were the one who was attacked by Mimic in the first place, not me.

I don’t know if it was an attack or just a flick of the tongue.

“Yes! I’m okay.”

“Yes.”

“Anyway, now that it’s like this, I’ll just pass the treasure room. “Let’s just destroy all the boxes and let’s go.”

What about Jewel?

I don’t want to take the risk of Mimic sticking her tongue out.

“Okay! I will crush them all with my sacred hammer!”

I smiled happily at Azel’s words and unfolded her map.

“First of all, we’re almost to the next elite room. “Where would you two be by now?”

If you roughly calculate it, it seems like you’ve already gone to the elite glitch room.

They said they would let you experience catching elites here, so they’re probably waiting for you.

First of all, I have to go up and join the team as quickly as possible. Because I can’t have you two taking up their time because of me.

“Azel and Jenna, do you both need a break?”

“No, oppa, I’m fine.”

It wasn’t really a battle.

“I also have a lot of energy!”

“Then let’s go up right away.”

***

[Room of the Angry Elite]

“Bake!”

Quaaang—!

“Leno, if you’re having a hard time, change your plan! “Let’s help Aina and attack together!”

“Yes, master!”

Damn it, it’s no surprise that the elites also have guys like this.

Yuna immediately understood Yeon Geun-gwan’s instructions and gave orders to her contractor.

“Aina! Let’s just go on the offensive! “Uncle, we’re going to do it this way, right?”

“That’s right, if things continue like this, we’re bound to be eliminated anyway.”

Yeon Geun-gwan and Yuna and their friends climb each stage within the time limit.

I took as much time as possible to climb up, but it was impossible.

In the end, I had to come up to the elite glitch room-

Unfortunately, they were having a hard time due to the appearance of the giant club elites who were launching crazy attacks.

If things continue like this, both of them are in danger of dropping out, putting their titles of ‘ranker’ and ‘#1 guild graduate’ to shame.

“No matter how I catch this guy, how am I going to explain it to Mr. Woon?”

“I’m worried about that too. hahahaha, if you ask, ‘Why aren’t you going to the next floor?’, What do you answer?”

Lotus Root Gwan ripped off his head.

“This is where you are supposed to be eliminated, hahahaha, so you just get eliminated.”

“That’s a really good explanation. Ha – it’s still better that way. When we came up, if only our tombstone was there….”

“That is truly terrible. I guess you’re lucky enough to come back after completing the whole week… “

“Ha, but if I hold on for time, I will have time to explain somehow. If I show you how to defeat it and tell you that there is a bug and the portal to the next floor doesn’t open, wouldn’t it work out somehow? “You can also ask Benongat for it.”

“I wish I could do that too. “I hope that luck follows us.”

“f*ck, please!”

Yeon Geun-gwan spits out swear words.

An angry elite glitch raised a huge hammer in front of him.

Bake!

At that time, the status window they had been waiting for appeared before their eyes.

[Jin sponsor Pogyu Soft Haejoa has entered the battle.]

“…Finally!”

“…Jin Sponsor?!”
