All Master of 100 Floors Episode 164

34th Floor. Treasure Hunt in the Desert

[Title: Wow, damn.]

[I thought I was going to burn to death. No. I thought I was going to freeze to death.]

* * *

Whirrrr.

The airplane slowly landed on the ground. The blonde woman. Olivia hurriedly got off the plane.

No procedures were necessary. People who saw her hastily moved out of the way.

If it had been her usual self, she would have smiled warmly and expressed her gratitude, but now she didn’t have that luxury. She only gave a brief nod and rushed through the city.

How far had she gone like that?

Small Playground.

Kang Jun-hyeok was waiting there. Seeing her, Kang Jun-hyeok stood up from his chair.

“You’ve arrived.”

“I’m sorry for making you wait!”

As soon as she received contact from Kang Jun-hyeok, she immediately boarded her private jet and came here. Olivia reached into her jacket.

“Here’s the item you requested.”

“Yes.”

Kang Jun-hyeok opened the pouch to check.

Inside were brilliantly shining gems.

Each one was high quality and large in size. Kang Jun-hyeok showed a satisfied expression.

He had used up all his gems clearing the 33rd Floor.

He needed to replenish them, but he had already obtained almost all the gems available in Korea.

However, looking overseas was different.

He contacted Olivia asking if she could bring gems, and she came in less than a day.

“Confirmed. Thank you.”

“No. Not at all. Rather, I should be thanking you.”

Olivia shook her head. Kang Jun-hyeok turned around.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

Kang Jun-hyeok took her to the nearby mountains.

More precisely, it was past tense though. Olivia hesitated upon arrival.

“Is this… really a mountain?”

“It used to be. It collapsed while I was testing various powers.”

Kang Jun-hyeok tested new powers here whenever he acquired them. As a result, the mountain had completely collapsed and become ruins. Olivia swallowed.

“Well then, shall we begin?”

Kang Jun-hyeok lightly gestured with his hand. Olivia drew her rapier with serious eyes.

The deal between him and Olivia was simple.

In exchange for receiving gems, he would spar with her.

She accepted that proposal immediately. To get a chance to spar with a Perfect Player for mere gems. There was no reason to refuse anywhere.

“Here I come!”

Whiiiing!

The rapier sharply aimed for Kang Jun-hyeok’s throat. He lightly leaned back and kicked at her. Olivia quickly twisted her body to evade.

“Your movements have improved compared to before.”

“Thank you!”

Olivia stepped forward and thrust toward Kang Jun-hyeok’s head.

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t dodge and grabbed the rapier. He twisted his hand as is. Olivia’s body bent along with the rapier and tumbled on the ground.

“Grrrgh!”

“But against opponents with overwhelming strength and speed, attacking vital points directly like that makes you vulnerable to counterattacks. You should aim for smaller areas gradually, or create openings. Come again.”

“Yes!”

Olivia gritted her teeth.

An hour later. Having reached her physical limits, Olivia sat down breathing heavily.

“Just… let me rest for a moment…”

“Take your time.”

Kang Jun-hyeok hadn’t even disturbed his breathing. Olivia looked up at him with awe-filled eyes.

“Not bad. You seem to have trained diligently.”

“…Even so, it’s only at a ‘not bad’ level.”

She gave a bitter smile.

“What Kang Jun-hyeok said before. I understand now. You knew from the beginning.”

Kang Jun-hyeok had told her.

That you are weak.

That he wasn’t speaking based on himself as the standard, but based on the universe as the standard.

She realized the meaning of those words. Kang Jun-hyeok silently shrugged his shoulders.

“The community keeps talking about special abilities. But we don’t have anything.”

Earth’s players had no internal energy, no magic, no superpowers. They were just ordinary humans. They couldn’t help but feel discouraged whenever they looked at the community. Kang Jun-hyeok affirmed.

“We are far behind compared to them. But that doesn’t mean we can’t catch up.”

“…That’s right.”

Kang Jun-hyeok.

Earth’s Perfect Player.

His power would rank among the top players even in the universe. Even though he was clearly a player from the same Earth, he felt distant.

After looking at Kang Jun-hyeok for a moment, she carefully asked.

“Could I… ask for advice?”

“Hmm.”

Olivia’s talent is outstanding.

Even looking at the entire universe, she would rank in the upper tiers.

But she couldn’t focus on herself.

She always took care of people and ultimately sacrificed herself for them.

She was someone who broke early compared to her talent. After pondering for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok spoke.

“Will you follow my advice without complaints?”

“Yes, yes! Of course!”

“Then focus on just one thing. Thrust.”

“Thrust… you mean?”

“With full concentration, without a trace of distraction, thrust ten thousand times a day in perfect form.”

“Uh. But then…”

“You won’t have time for other things.”

Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.

At that answer, Olivia realized.

“…Yes. I understand.”

Olivia nodded with a hardened expression.

“Whether you follow the advice or not is your choice. You seem to have rested enough, so come again.”

Kang Jun-hyeok raised his hand. Olivia stood up.

* * *

The next day.

Olivia left staggering.

Manbyeonggi spoke.

[How merciful. You gave that child exactly the advice she needed.]

“If I received gems, I should at least do that much. And I have personal curiosity.”

Kim Ha-young.

He died meaninglessly in his previous life.

But in this life, he became a follower of Yulsir and achieved remarkable growth. It wouldn’t be wrong to say he became a completely different person.

Then what about Olivia?

She wondered how other people besides her could possibly change.

‘Whether I succeed or fail, I won’t lose anything.’

After briefly watching the direction she had left, Kang Jun-hyeok returned home.

Three days after clearing the 33rd Floor.

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 34th Floor.

[34th Floor Quest.]

[Find all the treasures in the desert within one week.]

The 34th Floor Quest was extremely simple.

He just needed to find treasures in the vast desert.

Of course, simple didn’t mean easy. The desert was close to the size of a major city.

That wasn’t all. It was hot enough to burn skin during the day and cold enough to freeze eyelids at night – an environment that could damage Players.

Under these circumstances, finding treasures within a week without any information was nearly impossible.

Moreover, there wasn’t just one treasure.

Even Players who somehow managed to find five or more treasures failed to achieve Perfect Clear.

But it wasn’t particularly difficult for Kang Jun-hyeok.

His defense was 79.

The desert’s heat and cold couldn’t deal any damage to him. Finding treasures was also no problem.

[Pixie’s Treasure Intuition.]

He had Pixie’s skill that revealed treasure locations.

He activated the skill. If there was no reaction, he moved to another location and activated it again. In just three days, Kang Jun-hyeok successfully found all the treasures.

“Is it here?”

This was the location of the last treasure.

[Digging.]

Pababaak.

After digging through sand for over ten meters, there was a box inside. When he opened the box, there were shoes and a metal chunk inside.

[34th Floor Quest Clear.]

[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate…]

[Check complete.]

[Achievement rate: 100%]

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

[5,614 gold has been granted.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Shoes: Desert King’s Shoes] acquired.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Heat-Cold Iron] acquired.]

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 34th Floor: 1 person.]

[You are alone!]

[Universe Announcement.]

[Congratulations everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 34th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]

[Great Feat + 3]

Kang Jun-hyeok, who instantly returned to Earth, checked his rewards.

[Desert King’s Shoes]

[Part: Shoes]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Strength + 3]

[Speed + 3]

[Defense + 15]

[Shoes of a king who once ruled a now-abandoned desert. Though buried in sand for a long time, their brilliance hasn’t faded at all.]

“Not bad.”

The defense stats were quite high.

However, the Kraken shoes he was currently wearing had the equipment ability to stick to any surface.

Considering that, it was regrettable to replace them. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

‘I need to meet an Enchanter soon.’

[Heat-Cold Iron]

[Grade: Advanced]

[Originally ordinary iron, but after receiving alternating heat and cold in the deep desert sand for thousands of years, it gained special power.]

An advanced-grade material.

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately went to find the Blacksmith. Upon receiving the Heat-Cold Iron, he showed an interested expression.

“Metal created by long years. What do you want?”

“Please make arm guards using this along with the meteorite I gave you before.”

The arm guards he had obtained previously were Slime Body.

They had an equipment ability that absorbed damage below a certain threshold.

But as the enemies he faced gradually became stronger, they lost much meaning. At this point, they were the most meaningless part. The Blacksmith nodded.

“Understood. Come back in a week.”

“Thank you.”

Pixie, who received the memories, summarized it in one word.

[Boring.]

A floor that simply ended with treasure hunting. From her perspective, it would be extremely tedious. At least thanks to using treasure hunting, he could gain about 150 starlight.

The Perfect Player title effect was resistance to heat and cold.

After finishing all confirmations, Kang Jun-hyeok stretched his body. The 34th Floor was extremely easy. He already knew that.

The problem was what came next.

The 35th Floor.

It was one of the floors boasting the worst difficulty.

It wasn’t anything else – it was purely difficult to clear. It was extremely tricky and required abilities close to omnipotence.

It was a floor where even his past life self had failed miserably.

‘I need to prepare as much as possible.’

Kang Jun-hyeok organized the situation in his mind and categorized what he needed to do.

And three days later.

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 35th Floor.

That place was a massive cave.

Moss grew and dew dropped into a small lake. In its center was one enormous nest.

And inside the nest was an egg as large as a house.

[35th Floor Quest.]

[Become the Dragon’s guardian and help it achieve perfect growth.]

The 35th Floor was Dragon raising.
