Only I Have Two Towers Episode 164

For New Tactics

“It’s been a while since we’ve met. First time since the exchange meeting, right?”

“Hello. Have you been well?”

“Of course. It’s all thanks to you, Jinhyeok. We almost got into serious trouble because of the United Kingdom.”

“Oh my. I didn’t really do anything, but I’m glad it worked out well.”

After shaking hands, I followed Jin Seo-jun down to the underground.

“We just need to go a little further. The main gate would be too conspicuous.”

He’s right.

Jin Seo-jun, the next chairman of Genex.

The moment we enter together, all eyes would definitely be on us.

We took the private elevator that was already waiting for us.

‘Unexpected.’

I thought it would be all shiny since it’s something only the owner’s family uses.

It feels more rough and crude than the elevator at Genex headquarters.

“It’s a bit plain, isn’t it? The chairman really doesn’t like decorating. Even the headquarters building elevator was decorated only after Seo-hee and Seo-jung convinced him.”

I smiled awkwardly, feeling caught.

Jin Seo-jun often seems to see right through my thoughts.

He didn’t awaken mind reading, did he?

“I’ve only seen owner-exclusive elevators in dramas, this is my first time riding one, haha…”

“Other companies are probably as fancy as you imagine. The chairman is just a bit unique.”

The elevator stopped with a ding sound.

The doors opened and an empty corridor greeted Jinhyeok.

“I told them to take about an hour break.”

“I’m sorry for causing trouble because of me.”

“Sorry? Everyone was so happy about it. Please wait here for a moment.”

I sat down on the sofa I was guided to for a while.

Jin Seo-jun came back carrying a large suitcase.

“You said any unused iron weapons would be fine, but I couldn’t possibly treat my benefactor that way.”

The suitcase opened with a heavy sound.

Inside, bracelets of various colors revealed themselves.

A bit unexpected.

Since it’s Genex, I expected rough and sturdy steel items to appear.

“I heard that players who climb daily find putting on and taking off equipment quite bothersome.”

“That’s right. I’m always tightening, loosening, putting on, it’s chaos. This is harder than going through the Tower.”

Of course, even if it’s bothersome, I’ve never forgotten to equip armor.

As master Seira said, one must never let their guard down.

I’m free from lifespan limits, but I’m not free from death like Dark.

“Would you like to try it on? It won’t help in combat, but it should reduce Jinhyeok’s laziness a little.”

Poke poke poke poke poke poke poke poke.

Hands poking my leg at incredible speed.

I looked down.

Momooooooo!?

When did she manifest?

Momo had cleverly manifested where Jin Seo-jun couldn’t see and was poking my leg.

Hmm!?

Flushed face, dilated pupils, breathing like a rhinoceros.

Momo’s face was strongly insisting.

That what was placed above was an incredibly good item.

Gulp.

Dry saliva went down my throat.

For greedy collector Momo-sensei to have this reaction.

My heart started pounding.

“Then I’ll shamelessly…!”

Despite my words, my hands moved quickly as if someone might take it away.

As soon as I touched the bracelet, a system window appeared.

[Boundary Mage Ertra’s Bracelet / Grade: Legendary / Level Restriction: None]

# This is the bracelet of genius mage Ertra.

# After realizing the truth about boundaries in childhood, Ertra became able to freely cross them.

# Her specialty was magic that made weapons held or armor worn disappear.

# A masterpiece completed by combining Ertra’s magic with a legendary craftsman!

# This item operates with ON / OFF.

# OFF: Sends all equipment worn by the user beyond the boundary.

# ON: Recalls items sent beyond the boundary. If other equipment is worn in the original position or there are obstacles, it returns to inventory.

# Cooldown and resource consumption: None.

Yeeeeeeeees!?

My left hand was on the bracelet, my right hand covered my mouth.

I couldn’t scream unsightly in front of Jin Seo-jun.

With trembling eyes, I read the description again carefully.

There’s no attack or defense power attached.

But if there was a convenience stat, it would be +100,000% level.

How can such an item exist?

Snap!

Momo disappeared after giving a chubby thumbs up with a face that said ‘I told you so.’

As expected of great collector Momo-sensei.

She never misses.

“I hope you like it…”

Jin Seo-jun stopped talking.

The moment our faces met, he realized.

That it was a completely meaningless thing to say.

‘I’m glad you like it.’

An intense reaction that was more than rewarding, overflowing with satisfaction.

He’s someone who makes you want to give more when he has something.

Jinhyeok stood up after carefully securing the bracelet.

Then he bent his waist beyond 90 degrees to an acute angle level.

“Thank you. I’ll use it well. Tower climbing will be much more comfortable from now on.”

I love the Tower, but the preparation process was boring and bothersome, now I can skip it entirely.

Of course, it would be convenient if the other friends had them too.

‘Sorry guys. I’ll use it first!’

Instead, I decided to help more actively with equipping and unequipping work.

“Then shall we move on to today’s main topic? Please take this elevator.”

“Yes.”

Ertra’s bracelet was truly unexpected luck.

The real purpose of today’s visit was something else.

Jin Seo-jun pressed the basement floor 10 button in the elevator.

It’s the first time seeing such a basement floor number, so it’s quite fascinating.

Ding.

The doors opened and a huge space appeared.

I guarantee it’s several times larger than our house.

And that vast space was filled with various iron weapons like swords, spears, and daggers.

“Are you really sure this is okay? There aren’t any major defects, but they ended up here because they were difficult to sell. There are also many early model prototypes mixed in. As I mentioned on the phone, I’d prefer if you took the ones that are currently for sale.”

Jinhyeok picked up a nearby sword to examine it.

Jinhyeok shook his head with a smile.

“No, this is perfect. You’re not using any of these, right?”

“Yes. We call it a warehouse, but they’ve been left here indefinitely. You can take as many as you want.”

He gave two thumbs up.

As many as you want.

This part was important.

Ding ding ding ding.

The signal sound from the elevator.

“Yes. This is Jin Seo-jun. Yes. I’m currently in the basement. Oh, is that so? Could you wait just a moment?”

Jin Seo-jun approached with an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry. A foreign buyer has arrived, so I need to go up for a moment.”

“Oh, no need to apologize. I’ll take care of things myself from now on. Please go ahead.”

“Yes. I’ll be back as quickly as possible. If you need anything, you can press the bell next to the elevator.”

“Yep!”

Jin Seo-jun gave a light bow before going up in the elevator.

Jinhyeok waved until the door closed, then spun around.

And rubbed his hands together.

After waiting a bit, he felt movement beneath his feet.

“Captain! Yodel Rangers unit leader Kancheo! Returning after completing reconnaissance mission!”

“How is it?”

“All clear! Nothing there!”

He thought as much.

This was a warehouse located deep on basement floor 10, where abandoned weapons ended up, with no communication signal.

Installing security would cost an absurd amount, and it wasn’t really a place that needed such security anyway.

“Good, good.”

Jinhyeok smiled and summoned all his friends.

“Momo and I will put everything in our bags. We don’t know when he’ll come back, so let’s gather everything as quickly as possible.”

“Is this stealing?!”

“Hey now. Stealing? You heard him. He said we could take everything.”

Jin Seo-jun had definitely said “as many as you want,” but Jinhyeok seemed to interpret that as “everything.”

Kancheo swallowed nervously.

‘As expected of the Captain. Such incredible boldness!!’

They split into Momo’s team and Jinhyeok’s team and began their operation.

How dare these items occupy Genex’s precious warehouse space.

He planned to clean it all out.

One hour later.

Chairman Jin Tae-gon and Jin Seo-jun, who arrived late to work due to a Blue House visit, went up in the elevator.

“You should have called Seo-hee or Seo-jung. How could you leave a guest alone like that? And in the basement where there aren’t even any CCTVs.”

“I’m sorry. He seemed like he wanted to be alone, so I went up without much thought.”

“Hmm… I suppose that’s possible.”

He thought of Jinhyeok in his mind.

Bright and polite, but the type who really liked being alone.

# This is basement floor 10.

The elevator that had been going down for a while stopped, and the moment the door opened.

???????

Dozens of giant question marks appeared over both their faces.

They somehow managed to step out of the elevator.

But that was the best they could do.

They couldn’t move any further or close their gaping mouths.

“Seo, Seo-jun. What in the world… is this?”

Jin Seo-jun had been called a prodigy since childhood.

As such, he had never once failed to answer someone’s question.

But now, even though the questioner was Jin Tae-gon, an answer was impossible.

No matter how fast he made his brain work, no answer came.

What exactly would one have to do to completely empty a warehouse?

And in just one hour at that.

“Well, I’ll be.”

Jin Tae-gon, who came to his senses first, took a step forward.

And looked around the emptied warehouse.

“I don’t know whether to say this is amazing or expected.”

Truly a Runner.

His actions always exceeded the bounds of common sense that ordinary people possessed.

Jin Seo-jun also barely managed to follow, but still looked dazed.

Jin Tae-gon nodded several times while looking at the warehouse, then spoke.

“Well, well… I thought we might pay down some debt, but it’s increased again.”

The basement floor 10 warehouse had been a major headache for Genex.

The performance was insufficient to sell to Players, and they were inefficient for daily use since they were made as weapons.

But they couldn’t just leave them there forever, so they had planned to spend a massive budget to clean it out someday.

And Jinhyeok had done it for them for free.

“How on earth did he take everything?”

“How would I know? Even when Genex made its own assessment, we estimated it would take a full two months.”

Being made of steel, each piece of equipment was incredibly heavy.

It would have been grueling work to move them from basement floor 10 to ground level and then dispose of them.

“Next time we meet, I’ll have to subtly ask about his secret. Though I doubt I could replicate it even if I heard it.”

Jin Seo-jun rubbed his face and slowly walked around.

He had taken everything very cleanly without dropping anything on the ground.

“I’m curious what he plans to use them for.”

“Indeed. Maybe he’s planning to raise a large-scale army. Though his awakened ability probably isn’t that type.”

Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok uses chains and swords.

Surely a class specialized in weapon usage.

The question marks only kept multiplying with no sign of decreasing.

“In any case.”

Jin Tae-gon smiled refreshingly.

“This worked out well. For Genex, and for the weapons that were left to gather dust without seeing the light.”

He had felt uncomfortable every time he came to this warehouse.

It was because iron that had been painstakingly refined was being discarded without proper use.

But not anymore.

With a light and refreshed heart, he hoped.

That the children made at Genex would be helpful to Jinhyeok as well.
