Only I Have Two Towers Episode 065

Move Complete

Morning sunlight seeped through the curtains.

“Ugh.”

Was it because I overate with sake until late last night?

Opening my eyes is particularly difficult today.

Poke poke poke poke poke.

I felt fingers poking various parts of my body.

Originally there were two with Momo and Kancheo, but today I feel three.

When I barely opened my eyes, I saw Ellia sitting alongside Kancheo and Momo.

“Oh, you’re awake? It was fun so I joined in.”

An older elf with 3,271 years of age.

She has a unique trait called Primordial Curiosity, and it seems she doesn’t discriminate by field.

“Commander. Commander. You must wake up. Something’s not right outside.”

“Right! It’s war, war!”

“Huh? War?”

Momo and Kancheo nodded with excited faces.

Come to think of it, I could sense several people in the living room.

Is Jin Yun-ho here?

I got up groggily and pressed down my messy hair.

Then I left the room.

People’s gazes focused on me.

Those gazes were so intense that I stopped walking for now.

I could see why Momo called it a war.

“Hello, Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok. It’s been a while, though it’s only been a day.”

Why is she here?

Jin Seo-hee, dressed in a black dress, greeted me with her arms crossed.

Cheon Se-yeon was looking at Jin Seo-hee with a face full of displeasure.

Jin Yun-ho and Min Yu-gyeong, caught in between, were sweating profusely.

Jinhyeok raised his hand with a disheveled face.

I don’t know what this situation is, but I should greet them first.

“I came to help with the move, but there was an uninvited guest.”

“I’m the landlord, so who’s calling who an uninvited guest?”

Jin Seo-hee lightly ignored Se-yeon’s words and spun around.

“You’ve packed your things, right? Please tell me where they are. The employees will move them for you.”

“Why would you move that? Team Leader Jin Yun-ho and I agreed to help, so you go home. We even made moving plans while eating late-night snacks.”

“You’ve become quite childish, Se-yeon.”

“Excuse me.”

If I left them alone, they’d keep bickering, so I spoke up.

“I only have this one bag, so I’ll carry it myself.”

Everything else is in Momo’s bag.

The place I’m moving to is built-in, so I threw away all the furniture.

“Is that so? Then I’ll wait downstairs. Say your farewell to Hunter Cheon Se-yeon and come down.”

“Making it sound like a farewell.”

Cheon Se-yeon bared her teeth growling at Jin Seo-hee leaving the house.

Jin Yun-ho, watching this scene, shrugged his shoulders.

“Isn’t this working out well? It was troublesome since a Gate suddenly appeared.”

Jin Yun-ho checked his phone.

A Gate alert that rang as soon as we arrived at Cheon Se-yeon’s house.

A 52nd Floor Gate occurred near Bukhansan, and an emergency return order was issued.

It happened that Ranker Cheon Se-yeon was here, so her deployment was decided.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Jinhyeok. I was going to help you move leisurely today.”

“It’s fine. You treated me to expensive and delicious late-night snacks and drinks. That’s enough.”

“Phew. But how did Jin Seo-hee even get up here?”

Jin Yun-ho cautiously raised his hand.

He was in a position where he had to take Cheon Se-yeon to Bukhansan.

He had brought a substitute to help with Jinhyeok’s move.

“So Team Leader was a spy. Wait, come to think of it, Team Leader is also a Jin? Don’t tell me?”

“I wish that were the case, but unfortunately we use different Chinese characters. Let’s get going for now.”

We all got ready and got on the elevator.

‘Thank you for everything.’

Through the closing doors, I also said goodbye to the officetel that had taken care of me.

“Mr. Jinhyeok. You climbed again today without fail. I thought you’d rest for at least a day after going through such a big ordeal.”

Jin Yun-ho, who had received news of the Pantheon update while organizing the scene.

He couldn’t help but be amazed when he saw it.

He had seen countless hunters so far, but no one had climbed the Tower with such determination.

This goes beyond climbing addiction – it seems like he loves the Tower itself.

“I’m still lacking, so I have to climb diligently.”

Jin Yun-ho smiled.

Usually, the country or Hunter Bureau would be begging players to stop fooling around and climb.

But here’s someone who climbs on his own – it’s impossible to dislike such a Player.

“This is just in case, but was there any suspicious person on the Newcalliope? Like an influencer you’d never seen before, or someone who wasn’t there initially but suddenly appeared?”

The strange phenomena and testimonies that occurred at the scene.

To explain these, a third party excluding the existing passengers was needed.

Jinhyeok subtly licked his lips and put on an innocent expression.

“Well. There wasn’t anyone particularly strange.”

“I see.”

Jin Yun-ho sighed deeply and leaned against the elevator.

His head already hurt thinking about how to write the report.

“Oh, and tomorrow and the day after, the Pantheon might update a bit differently.”

“Huh? What do you mean…?”

“I got a special reward from the 36th Floor I cleared at dawn today. Compression tickets for the 30th and 40th Floor sections.”

The expressions of Jin Yun-ho, Min Yu-gyeong, and Cheon Se-yeon all stiffened at once.

“Mr. Jinhyeok. Don’t tell me you’re going to use those?”

“Yes. I have to use them. They came out.”

Cheon Se-yeon was startled and Jin Yun-ho let out a groan.

“Since you’re updating such incredible records, it’s delicate for me to say this, but honestly I don’t want to recommend using compression tickets.”

“Me too. Have you searched on Top Site? I’ve never seen a case where using those ended well.”

I know they’re not just trying to scare me.

Jinhyeok had already searched various things on the site before sleeping.

– @ Use it if you want to die quickly!

– @ I compressed two floors and immediately pressed the escape button. The monsters were insanely strong.

– @ You’re lucky if they just get stronger. Sometimes random monsters pop out and you die before you can even press escape.

“There were quite a lot of harsh posts.”

“How many floors are you planning to compress?”

“For now, four floors: 37, 38, 39, and 40.”

“Whaaaat?!”

The three people were shocked and their jaws dropped.

Even combining two floors is tough, but four at once.

The monsters getting stronger was one problem, but the bigger issue was that unnamed bosses that had never appeared before might show up.

Since there’s no information available, there’s a high chance of dying without even being able to escape, just like the comment mentioned earlier.

“While we welcome Runner Jinhyeok’s rapid floor progression with open arms, wouldn’t it be better to think about the compression ticket a bit more?”

“That’s right. It’s too dangerous. You’re already incredibly fast as it is…”

Ding dong!

The elevator arrived before Se-yeon could finish speaking.

Jin Yun-ho’s phone was already ringing non-stop with urgent calls telling him to hurry to Bukhansan.

“Go ahead quickly. You’re busy, aren’t you?”

“No, ah… Jinhyeok! Let’s talk after I come back from Bukhansan in a bit. The compression ticket is really dangerous.”

“Please assess the danger level a bit more before deciding. You absolutely shouldn’t use it recklessly! Promise me!”

Cheon Se-yeon and Jin Yun-ho raised their voices even as they moved away.

Jinhyeok smiled brightly and waved at them.

He was grateful for their concern, but it was pointless.

He was definitely going to use it.

“They’re being clingy until the very end.”

Jin Seo-hee, who was rolling down the window, shook her head.

“You said you don’t have luggage, so I sent the employees back. Get in. Just give me the location.”

“Yes. Then I’ll ask for your help.”

“What help? We have plenty of debts to repay on our end.”

He got into the sports car that would stand out wherever it went.

Let’s go.

To my sweet home!

Right after arriving at the officetel.

Since there wasn’t much luggage, organizing was finished quickly.

While rearranging the desk and dining table positions last.

“You’re setting it up like a large family would eat here even though you live alone. Your friends must visit often.”

“I like eating with plenty of space.”

Jinhyeok dusted off his hands and straightened his back after finishing the arrangement.

A clean and spacious high-quality marble dining table.

Looking at this, how should he put it.

He was deeply moved.

It felt like just yesterday when he was huddled together with Seira and Kancheo in the basement eating chicken, and now he had this kind of house and dining table.

Once again, he thought it was good that he became a Player.

Jin Seo-hee, who was sipping tea on the sofa, spoke up.

“Continuing our earlier conversation, we’ve identified the dead Vesta guys.”

As expected of Genex, he supposed.

Even though they must have been scattered by the explosion, they had completed identification. Impressive.

“The guy who called grandfather wasn’t from Vesta. He was more like a broker connecting the main contractor and subcontractor.”

“We need to catch that guy to find out who the main contractor is.”

“Yes. It probably won’t take long. Uncle Cha Myeong-jun went personally. He was a master at finding people even before awakening.”

Security Manager Cha Myeong-jun.

He had met him during lunch last time.

He was an unforgettable person due to his tremendous first impression and presence.

Jin Seo-hee emptied her teacup and got up.

“I’ll head out first because of company business.”

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t even offer you a meal. Thank you for bringing me here today.”

“It’s right nearby, so don’t mention it. But please keep that meal voucher. I’ll use it later.”

“Yes, something delicious next time!”

Jin Seo-hee nodded with a smile.

When he first met her, she was cold as ice.

But since the Newcalliope incident, she seemed to smile quite often.

“Oh, and I haven’t told grandfather about what I saw on the Newcalliope. That it was all you, Jinhyeok, who froze the sea and caused the explosion. Well, even if I told him, he probably wouldn’t believe it anyway. I don’t know how you were able to do such things either.”

“Thank you. For being considerate.”

“You don’t need to thank me. It’s because of my personal selfishness.”

Jinhyeok looked puzzled, but Jin Seo-hee didn’t seem inclined to give an answer.

“Well then, see you later.”

Jin Seo-hee smiled slightly as she left through the door.

There was no way she could say it.

That she wanted to have at least one secret between just her and Jinhyeok that others didn’t know about.

‘I’m really being childish.’

She felt even more childish and immature since she had felt a strange sense of superiority about this when meeting Se-yeon earlier.

‘Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

From long ago, grandfather Jin Tae-gon had always said.

To live appropriately for her young age.

Though it was a bit late, she decided to consider it following grandfather’s advice.

And in the house that became empty after Jin Seo-hee left.

Jinhyeok summoned his friends.

“Hurry up and organize your stuff.”

“Got it! This is my room!!”

“No! It’s Momo’s room!”

“You youngsters have no manners. Adults should choose first, as is proper.”

While they were running around noisily here and there.

He opened his inventory and used the compression ticket.

[Using 30th Floor Section Compression Ticket. Please select floors to combine.]

A list from the 37th to 40th floors appeared before his eyes.

Without a second’s hesitation, he selected all floors.

[Compressing 4 floors into one floor!]

[40-4th Floor of the Tower of Despair Annex appears!]

Jinhyeok stretched refreshingly and smiled.

Shall we go take a look?
