Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 137

“It’s information about the next trial!”

Park Jung-pil shrugged, boasting about the information he had obtained.

As a regressor, Se-un naturally knew the information, but it was beneficial for the information to come from Park Jung-pil’s mouth.

‘It would have been a bit awkward for me to say it first.’

Even if he trusted the Diablo Clan, revealing that he was a regressor was dangerous.

If the information leaked, he didn’t know what kind of scrutiny might follow.

Besides, he realized that the management office was directly monitoring him thanks to Tuning, whom he met in the crystal cave.

If the fact that he was a regressor was conveyed to the Constellations through the management office, he didn’t know what would happen.

Perhaps, the Constellations were likely to capture Se-un, who knew the future.

This was also why he couldn’t easily tell Yoo Seo-ah about the regression.

“I see that they are selling tickets called return scrolls that allow you to return to the shelter!”

He already knew this as well.

Wasn’t one ticket 100,000 contribution points?

Se-un had over 3 million contribution points by achieving hidden quests and ranking in each trial, but other players did not.

For others, 100,000 points was a contribution they could only acquire by saving money to buy equipment.

However, having a chance to escape when you can’t handle the trial is like having another life.

“So, I asked while buying a drink, and the next theme is poison! If you don’t prepare an antidote or something, you’re going to have a hard time!”

He brought back more information than he thought.

To be precise, the theme is not just poison, but a swamp, but it was true that one of the most dangerous environmental factors in it was poison.

He was already wondering what reason to use to prepare an antidote, but thanks to Park Jung-pil, he had one less thing to worry about.

“Good job.”

“Right? Do you know how hard I worked to find out this information? Haha!”

“Tell Yoo Seo-ah. Oh, and Lee Ha-neul too.”

“Yes! Oh, and…….”

“What?”

“Um, can you give me some money too? I feel like I’m losing out if I pay with contribution points. Hehe.”

The guy politely held out his hands to Se-un.

He made excuses that more expenses than he thought followed to find out the information, but Se-un knew it was nonsense.

Still, the information he found out was quite helpful to the clan. There was no point in hoarding the money anyway, and since there was some left, he threw a few gold coins to Park Jung-pil.

“Ehehe! Thank you, 형님 [hyung-nim, older brother or respected senior]!”

“Oh, and this too.”

“Ooh! This heavy pouch is surely!”

“Give it to Lee Ha-neul. Tell her to use it when making the antidote. You know what will happen if you steal it, right?”

“……Haha, who would steal it! I, Park Jung-pil, am a guy who thoroughly keeps his promises to 형님, even if I don’t know other people!”

“Okay, go quickly.”

“Yes!”

With preparations for the poison complete, worries about the next trial completely disappeared.

‘Will it take about two days?’

The time was near to end the rest period and go up to the next floor.

* * *

“Did everyone bring their antidotes? There’s plenty of room, so take plenty.”

During the remaining period, Lee Ha-neul gathered various herbs in Scavenger [a marketplace or area] with the money Se-un gave her.

Using them, she was able to make not only various antidotes but also more medicine than before.

“Know that it’s all thanks to me! Ahem!”

Park Jung-pil was seen shrugging his shoulders and raising his nose next to her, but there was no choice but to indulge him for now.

Thanks to him, Se-un was able to inform the clan about the next trial without having to make excuses.

He always seems to be a nuisance, but he is a guy who helps when you least expect it.

‘Still, it would be difficult to walk alone in the swamp.’

The trials up to the 20th floor were often challenged by one or two players.

Even though it was the 20th floor, it was still treated as the lower floors, so it was a place to test the qualifications of the players.

Even if you are not a combat-type job, you must have at least minimal combat power in the tower to survive.

In that sense, Go Chang-seok, including the twin sisters, were overcoming the trials better than Se-un thought.

“Swamp. I’m already looking forward to what kind of monsters will come out! I hope amphibian-type monsters come out. I have something to experiment with…….”

Was it because he completed Saha’s predator as an undead?

There was no worry on Baek-hyun’s face at all. Rather, he was full of anticipation as if he was going on a picnic.

Well, he can’t handle crocodiles alone yet, but his power is the strongest in the Diablo Clan except for Se-un.

Of course, Kang Han-cheol’s skills are not easy to deal with in a one-on-one fight.

No one can keep up with Baek-hyun against monsters.

Besides, the poison of the swamp does not affect his undead state, so the next floor was nothing more than a trial for him.

“Swamp. It’s going to be uncomfortable.”

On the other hand, Kang Han-cheol’s expression was full of discomfort.

Because he was as heavy as his large size, his movements would be uncomfortable in the swamp where his feet would sink.

Still, everyone had thought about how to act based on the information Park Jung-pil had brought over the past few days, so there was not much to worry about.

“Is everyone ready?”

“Perfect!”

“Let’s go and come back easily this time too!”

“Ah, I hope I don’t get caught with this 오빠 [oppa, older brother or term of endearment for a male]!”

“What? This brat! That’s what I should be saying!”

“This 오빠 doesn’t know grace! I’ll never help you if I get caught with you next time!”

“You said you didn’t want to get caught, but you’re already thinking about getting caught with me, what.”

“No, I absolutely hate it!”

There was no tension on people’s faces.

It was not that they were careless, but it was possible because they had obtained enough information about the next trial and had perfectly prepared for it.

Therefore, Se-un did not make any special comments this time either.

Yoo Seo-ah also lightly shouted a word without giving a long speech this time.

“Then, let’s all finish safely and see you at the residence!”

“Aja Aja [fighting, cheer up]!”

Everyone opened the system window with their own shouts.

– Would you like to challenge the trial on the 11th floor?

When Se-un nodded, the golden sand desert disappeared and the view was darkened.

* * *

When I opened my eyes again, the golden sand grains disappeared and the dark green swamp filled my vision.

The trees with huge roots were dropping brown autumn leaves down, and the fallen leaves in the swamp were slowly rotting.

This is the trial on the 11th floor.

It was a green swamp.

– Welcome to the trial on the 11th floor.

– Theme: Crossing the Swamp

– Time Limit: 48 hours

– You have set foot in a swamp where bizarre cries echo.

– Escape the green swamp in front of you.

The content of the trial was the same as Se-un knew.

Like the previous river crossing, mountain climbing, and desert crossing, this trial also starts with escaping the swamp.

However, the difference is that the direction is not given.

Since it is a trial to simply escape the green swamp, it did not matter whether you went east, west, south, or north.

Instead, the difficulty of the trial varies depending on the direction you go.

There were places where no monsters came out and the toxicity was weak, while there were also directions where strong toxicity and groups of monsters swarmed.

Where to go was entirely the player’s choice.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ drools, saying that there seems to be a lot of delicious things here.

I stretched out my arms and took a deep breath to adapt to the swamp.

The mucous membrane of my nose tingled and I felt a slight toxicity. Nevertheless, Se-un did not use the antidote.

From the beginning, he didn’t even think about using the antidote.

Unlike antidotes, which are difficult to use because the usage and duration vary depending on the poison…….

– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Skin of the Poison Salamander ]

– The skin of the Poison Salamander, which is known to live only in poisonous environments and live with poison for the rest of its life.

Se-un had a great way to block the poison.

“Hoo…….”

The toxicity that came in with the air stimulated the lungs.

Originally, it is good to cover your nose and mouth with a cloth in the desert to prevent poison from entering, but it did not matter to Se-un.

Because the toxicity that came deep into his chest was disappearing like a lie.

Skin of the Poison Salamander.

Like the mermaid’s fins, this treasure also became one with Se-un’s body as soon as he used it. Not only the outer skin but also the respiratory organs such as the lungs became resistant to toxicity.

I put my hand into the swamp where the toxicity was more concentrated than the atmosphere, but it only tingled a little at first and did not have any significant effect.

‘Now I have to decide on a direction.’

I don’t know the hidden piece on the 11th floor. Before the regression, Se-un did not have a way to effectively block the poison like now.

Still, thanks to the information Park Jung-pil obtained from the shelter, he managed to get an antidote, but as I said before, the antidote is not a perfect solution.

For that reason, he tried to find a place with the weakest toxicity and move forward.

Even before the regression, the compass of the journey never reacted while moving forward.

But…….

‘It reacted at first.’

The moment the trial started, the compass of the journey showed a slight reaction.

Before the regression, I thought about moving in the direction the compass of the journey pointed, but I changed my mind because of the swamp environment that looked rough even if I looked at it roughly.

However, it is different now.

He has a body that can withstand even if the toxicity gets worse and the power to deal with even if strong monsters appear in droves.

Now, he can head in the direction the compass of the journey first pointed. The problem is that Se-un does not have the compass of the journey now.

The solution was simple.

‘The most difficult place.’

The place where the swamp becomes the deepest and stickiest, the place where the toxicity in the atmosphere is so strong that it tries to melt the skin, the place where monsters swarm in all directions. You have to go there.

Se-un, who was looking around for a while, soon grabbed the direction and started moving his feet.

The swamp grabbed his feet, but as in the desert, when he put internal energy into the soles of his feet, the discomfort disappeared like a lie.

Soon, he felt the toxicity that touched his skin being absorbed and neutralized, and Se-un moved further and further forward.
