Only I Have Two Towers Episode 215

 

In the Garden Under Moonlight

 

Right after the barbecue party ended.

 

“I’m sorry!”

 

I bowed my head to Jin Yun-ho.

 

The holy sword that was shattered with a single swing.

 

Even if it wasn’t as rare as darkness, holy weapons would still be quite expensive.

 

“It’s fine. This happens often. And the Player Hunter Bureau has a professional repair team. You don’t need to worry.”

 

“That’s a relief.”

 

I took out a bundle from my inventory and unfolded it.

 

The holy sword… No, the remains of what used to be a holy sword.

 

Jin Yun-ho’s eyes shook terrifyingly.

 

What exactly do you have to do to make a sword shatter into pieces like this?

 

This isn’t repair work – it needs to be made from scratch.

 

“No problem.”

 

Jinhyeok calmly took the bundle so he wouldn’t feel awkward.

 

Let’s sort this for recycling on the way home.

 

“Wow, this is a first. My stats have never increased this much except for level-ups or special benefits.”

 

Cheon Se-yeon checked her status window once more.

 

Even seeing it with her own eyes, she could hardly believe it.

 

All I did was eat meat and it went up this much?

 

“Me too. Even after moving so many boxes in the warehouse, my strength stat never went up once. I feel like my biceps got bigger.”

 

Yoo Su-yeon raised her arm to show.

 

A cute little bicep bulging out.

 

“Momo has them too!”

 

Bob-cut Momo also raised both arms, showing off her Doraemon-like biceps.

 

That’s amazing in its own way.

 

How did she butcher a black dragon with arms like that?

 

I opened a beer can and leaned back in my chair.

 

A beer after eating to your heart’s content.

 

There’s no other heaven like this.

 

“Se-yeon, what did you mean about Tower Site being in chaos? I’ll check it out later, but I’m curious.”

 

“Oh that. Jinhyeok, do you know Crown Jackpot?”

 

“Isn’t that a really famous gambling site? I heard they take bets on everything from sports to election results.”

 

“That’s right. They have quite a few categories related to Runner.”

 

“What…? About me?”

 

“Yes. Things like how long Runner will maintain SSS+ grade, when tower climbing will hit a wall, etc.”

 

“Oh.”

 

I rubbed my chin and nodded.

 

I roughly understood what caused the chaos.

 

“Since I skipped climbing, quite a few people must have lost money.”

 

“Exactly. According to them, what they call an upset really hit big. Since it continued from floor 1 to 70, thinking it would continue was the normal process. Anyway, people who lost money apparently came all the way to Tower Site causing chaos.”

 

“I probably don’t need to see the content. I feel like my lifespan got extended quite a bit.”

 

“It probably did a lot? You might live the longest here.”

 

While Se-yeon laughed playfully.

 

Jin Yun-ho, who was sipping beer, spoke up.

 

“The Player Hunter Bureau is also being careful about security. It’s never been officially revealed, but Crown Jackpot is known to be connected to various criminal organizations.”

 

“Right. I heard they handle enormous amounts of money. There’s no one scarier than someone who’s lost money.”

 

“Yes. They’re bound to become irrational.”

 

Jin Yun-ho nodded and let out a quiet sigh.

 

Actually, one or two gamblers coming isn’t particularly worrying.

 

I don’t think they could do anything to Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok.

 

But Crown Jackpot making a move is a different story.

 

There are rumors they can mobilize not only major criminal organizations but even small nations’ armies.

 

If they seriously target Jinhyeok, it would become a danger that cannot be overlooked.

 

“I should stay quiet for a while. Until their anger subsides.”

 

Jinhyeok spoke cheerfully while drinking his beer.

 

Watching him, Jin Yun-ho showed a strange smile.

 

The system that spreads news about Runner almost daily.

 

He wasn’t sure if staying quiet was even possible.

 

Creak.

 

People’s heads turned.

 

Jin Seo-hee walked out with an extremely pale face.

 

Se-yeon slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

 

“Is it because she was raised preciously? She’s weak, so weak.”

 

Following Jinhyeok’s advice, four people drank the beverage only after the barbecue party ended.

 

Everyone’s first reaction was identical.

 

The conversation didn’t just decrease but stopped completely.

 

The first person to recover was Yoo Su-yeon.

 

-Wow! That was dangerous!

 

Following her, Cheon Se-yeon and Jin Yun-ho also sighed in relief.

 

Saying it was really dangerous, that they barely endured it.

 

But one person, only Jin Seo-hee couldn’t speak even after a long time.

 

She made an extremely complicated expression then ran into the house.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“I’m getting better. But wow, this potion is incredible.”

 

Jin Seo-hee plopped down and smiled faintly.

 

“The terrible taste aside, this level of stat increase. How on earth did you get something like this?”

 

The other three people’s eyes also turned to Jinhyeok.

 

Especially Yoo Su-yeon’s eyes, a natural merchant, sparkled frighteningly.

 

“Trade secret. It’s also a structure where making two or three bottles is the best I can do, let alone mass production.”

 

Ellia continues alchemy at the Starry Forge whenever she has time.

 

As varied as the alchemy she performs, the results were equally diverse.

 

Like what they just drank, potions that increase stats or magic resistance come out, but sometimes terrible poisons that cause instant death upon consumption also appear.

 

Sometimes she synthesizes chimeras from monster parts, but most of the time she returns them to materials before long.

 

“So you gave us something that precious.”

 

“No wonder the effects didn’t make sense.”

 

“It was worth overcoming it.”

 

People nodding as if they had promised.

 

Taking the potion must have been almost on par with combat.

 

“Then shall we have a drink to celebrate our victory?”

 

Beer cans gathering in the center and clinking refreshingly.

 

Beer spilled on our hands, but that’s even better.

 

We gulped it down while enjoying the blowing wind.

 

This is happiness.

 

I went down the stairs at the sound of the doorbell.

 

When I opened the door, Yun Mi-ri from the Player Hunter Bureau greeted me.

 

“Wow, the smell of meat.”

 

Yun Mi-ri glared at Jin Yun-ho standing alongside Jinhyeok.

 

“Eating everything by yourself and then calling me to drive. You’re a completely evil team leader.”

 

“What are you talking about? You said you were coming. To pick up the meat.”

 

Yun Mi-ri, who received the ice box, bowed her head once more.

 

“Jinhyeok-nim, we’ll eat well. We were actually running short on food supplies.”

 

“That’s fortunate. I’m glad it helps with food supply.”

 

“Oh, and… Just a moment, come over here.”

 

Yun Mi-ri led Jinhyeok to a corner.

 

“This is hot news that even the team leader doesn’t know. The approval was submitted a while ago, but the process was quite complicated, so it just got approved. As of today, Jinhyeok-nim’s annual salary is 100 billion won.”

 

I covered my mouth.

 

It hadn’t been long since it became 60 billion, and now it’s 100 billion?

 

Perhaps because the numerical scale changed, it feels even bigger.

 

“As you know, you must keep this secret. Even among the Players affiliated with the Hunter Bureau, only Rankers receive 100 billion or more. No matter how much of a Runner you are, if rumors spread that an unaffiliated Player is receiving 100 billion, it would cause chaos.”

 

“Don’t worry. I’ll take it to my grave.”

 

I made a gesture of locking my lips.

 

“Just like last time, this is also an after-tax amount. It’s illegal. No, let’s call it a loophole? That sounds less bad.”

 

It was to minimize as much as possible.

 

The possibility of tax agencies like the National Tax Service paying attention to Runners.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“We’re always grateful. Then I’ll escort the drunk person. Team leader, please get in quickly. I need to drop you off at the Hunter Bureau and go home.”

 

“We ate so well. See you again.”

 

“Drive safely.”

 

I waved my hand vigorously.

 

The luxury SUV quickly disappeared into the distance.

 

After a while, I looked to the side.

 

Se-yeon standing beside me, waving her hand.

 

If she weren’t here, I would have thrown an uppercut into the air.

 

Annual salary of 100 billion achieved!

 

“Weren’t you going to ride together?”

 

“I called a taxi. But Yoo Jin-hyeok-ssi.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“I’m disappointed. You’re rushing me to leave quickly.”

 

“You could stay and sleep here.”

 

Se-yeon stared intently at Jinhyeok.

 

As always, he says such things so casually.

 

Anyway, he probably means sleeping with Jin Seo-hee in the annex.

 

“I need a lot of things when I sleep somewhere else.”

 

“Come on, you already showed me your bare face.”

 

Se-yeon swallowed dry saliva.

 

Words that could cause tremendous misunderstanding if someone heard them.

 

On one hand, it’s also fortunate.

 

To think he knows that as a bare face.

 

Just as intended.

 

“I’ll prepare a proper housewarming later and come visit. Oh, the taxi’s here. I’m going.”

 

“See you later.”

 

After finishing the farewell, I climbed the stairs.

 

Lights and small sculptures positioned at intervals on the stairs.

 

These are things I hadn’t seen before.

 

‘Look at the details.’

 

I only asked for interior remodeling of the house, but they paid attention to this too.

 

I should treat them with utmost hospitality once more.

 

When I went to the garden, Momo walked over from the opposite side.

 

“The older sisters are completely in dreamland!”

 

Yoo Su-yeon and Jin Seo-hee who went into the annex completely drunk.

 

Seo-hee had asked me to look at her swordsmanship while staying here, but I’ll have to postpone it.

 

“Is that so?”

 

I quickly cleaned up the things that were spread out.

 

Then I set up a new grill.

 

After taking out meat, alcohol, and drinks and lighting the charcoal for a while.

 

Friends began to manifest one by one.

 

“I want to eat more dragon meat!”

 

“I’m a bit peckish.”

 

“It was torture smelling it from the rooftop, wasn’t it?”

 

I had moved some up intermittently, but it seemed insufficient.

 

Let’s grill it properly and eat.

 

“Isn’t Odongtongi tired? I’ll grill.”

 

“No! If Ellia grills, we’ll have to throw away the meat!”

 

“Ugh.”

 

Cold but not wrong.

 

Last time with the Korean beef, she turned it into crispy crackers.

 

Momo, the meat grilling master, picks up the tongs once again.

 

Her ability to grill to just the right degree every time is almost machine-level.

 

“Kancheo. You put the cuckoo clock Ellia gave you in front of the annex, right?”

 

“Perfect! If the old lady’s cuckoo clock isn’t broken, it’ll ring right away.”

 

“My cuckoo clock doesn’t break. It’s alive.”

 

I placed it there just in case.

 

Though I’d notice early with presence detection if Seo-hee or Su-yeon wake up.

 

“Captain.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Did you return the gun?”

 

“Not yet.”

 

“Can it be modified? I need something that fires faster.”

 

I was actually pondering this.

 

What kind of gun Kancheo could use.

 

The unique trait acquired from this Epic promotion, Clay Rides the Wind.

 

Since explosive power amplifies in proportion to speed, he needed a weapon that could launch clay quickly.

 

No matter how fast the existing gas gun was, it couldn’t compare to a real gun.

 

“Wait a little. I’ll quickly get you something suitable for Kancheo.”

 

“Thank you! Loyalty!”

 

While Kancheo was saluting gallantly.

 

“Master.”

 

Renia, who hadn’t been seen for a while, manifested beside me.

 

“Rakshasas.”
