Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 121
121. A Guest Visits the Amon Guild
Wanderlust.
As the name suggests, it’s a skill that benefits you by moving around.
‘This is the only skill that lets me earn credits.’
Being unique makes it all the more valuable.
A skill that lets you earn money just by walking around.
In the labyrinth where I’ll be moving around a lot anyway, wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?
‘However, credits won’t increase indefinitely.’
There’s an acquisition limit, so it only rises to a certain level before stopping.
Then when the number of cleared floors increases, the limit is lifted and credits can be earned again.
‘Now that I’ve got the skill, let’s keep going.’
I pressed Y on the message asking if I wanted to go down to the next floor and wandered around looking for monsters.
Though it’s annoying to search for them one by one.
[Credit +10]
[Credit +10]
…
…
Every time I took a certain number of steps, messages like this appeared in my vision.
‘Let’s see how much I can earn.’
Lizardmen approached with hissing sounds, but.
Swoosh!
They were simply sliced apart like soft tofu by my blade strikes using time acceleration.
‘Oh, seeing how the credit accumulation speed has increased, it seems the distance traveled with acceleration is also being tracked.’
In that case, there’s no need to drag this out.
I’ll hunt as quickly as possible.
[Dark Lizardman Spearmen defeated 100/100]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 164th Floor!]
When I completed the conquest, I checked the credits earned from Wanderlust.
The method was simple.
It was displayed in the Skill Information window.
▷Wanderlust(S) [Credits currently collected: 10,482]
‘Oh, that’s not bad earnings?’
I had only heard that Wanderlust was good, but I didn’t know exactly how good it was.
This was the first time I was actually using it in this life.
‘Little drops make the mighty ocean – it may seem small now, but later it’ll be worth its S-rank value.’
Since they said the credit amount would also increase, I continued to the next conquest without worry.
‘I’ll ride this momentum and keep going. All the way to Floor 179.’
The news that Amon had created a guild had already spread throughout the entire world.
Perhaps because of this, posts like these would appear on Transcendence Net.
【Guys, how do I get into the Amon Guild?】
【I called the Amon Guild but they won’t answer….】
【Amon sir, are you accepting guild applications?】
【I want to join the Amon Guild too….】
【For inquiries about joining the Amon Guild, is this where I should ask?】
Inquiry posts occasionally came from overseas as well, showing international interest, and there were times when journalists came directly to the Amon Guild for coverage.
Whenever this happened, it was tough on the gangsters stationed at the Amon Guild.
“I’m reporter Bang Tae Ho from Jungsim Daily. Is this the Amon Guild….”
“No, it’s not. Please leave.”
“Excuse me? The signboard here clearly says Amon Guild….”
Bang! Click!
“Phew.”
It was only after locking the door that the Heeseong Faction organization member could breathe a sigh of relief.
“Cheol Soon, are those reporters from earlier still not gone?”
“No sir. They’ve completely set up camp out there.”
“Ugh… It’s so hard to even go to the convenience store now….”
Soon Gu and the other organization members all sighed in unison.
Who wouldn’t like their newly launched guild business receiving unprecedented attention and enjoying prosperity, but.
“The boss said not to accept any clients for the time being….”
“I’m sick and tired of telling every client who comes to go away, seriously.”
In a situation where anyone who came looking had to be turned away, it couldn’t help but be troublesome in many ways.
“Soon Gu hyung, are you sure Hee Seong hyung said not to accept guild members?”
“Yeah. I heard it clearly. He said we won’t be accepting guild applications from now on.”
“What? Not just for a while, but from now on…?”
“Then what are we supposed to live on?”
“Is there anywhere to make money?”
Soon Gu frowned deeply at the questions pouring in from all directions.
“Hey! The prophet Amon, who even gets lotto numbers right, is Hee Seong hyung’s backer, so why worry about money? Living expenses will come out regularly, so don’t worry, you bastards.”
“We do receive living expenses?”
“Y-yeah, man! Of course, where else would the money come from? Will it spring up from the ground?”
In reality, they hadn’t received a single penny and he was covering expenses with his own saved money, but Soon Gu didn’t mind telling white lies to protect his hyung’s pride.
“Sigh… At this rate, it would be better to just take down the signboard.”
“Stop talking nonsense and did you buy what I asked for properly?”
“Yes. Jeonju bibimbap, right?”
As he took out triangle kimbap one by one from the convenience store bag, the organization members each reached out to take them.
Then the organization members ate them up as quickly as crabs hiding their eyes.
Soon Gu was watching them pitifully, wondering how hungry they must have been, when one organization member held out a triangle kimbap to him.
“Hyung, this one.”
“Huh? No, no, it’s fine. You eat…”
“That’s not it, this is for the action squad leader…”
“Ah… I-is that so?”
Soon Gu awkwardly touched the back of his head.
“But why two?”
“Just in case, I bought one for Weihao too.”
“Yeah, good thinking. We should take care of our Wang Ho Wei too. He’s our first customer and last customer.”
Soon Gu, who had praised him, gestured with his chin to the organization member.
“Go deliver it directly.”
“Me?”
“Yeah.”
“But in the current situation, giving it to him is a bit…”
Soon Gu’s gaze moved to Weihao.
He was having a conversation with Wang Ho Wei about something.
Since he was speaking passionately in Chinese, it was awkward to interrupt.
Looking at their expressions, it seemed like they might be arguing.
“Say that again. What did you say?”
“I said if you’re Amon’s subordinate, act like a subordinate. Your conduct isn’t proper.”
Wang Ho Wei’s criticism was valid.
After all, Weihao had been lying on the sofa in just his underwear.
But Weihao had something to say too.
“I don’t even have money to buy clothes, damn it, so are you telling me to wear dirty clothes covered with monster fluids?”
“You only have… one set of clothes?”
“Yeah! When Amon dragged me here, I couldn’t pack anything and flew here, damn it… Do you understand how I feel?”
Weihao vented his resentment as if he had a lot built up.
“Do you think I want to be here? I’m in a position where I’m being monitored! I don’t want to get involved with those stupid thugs standing over there either. I have no intention of joining Amon Guild!”
“Then why are you here? Run away.”
“You call that a question? Is your head a flower garden? If that were possible, I would have done it long ago!”
“Why can’t you run away? Are your hands tied, are your feet tied? If it were me, I would have crossed the sea immediately.”
Wang Ho Wei couldn’t understand.
For Weihao, who couldn’t explain the situation, it was just frustrating.
If he explained that the Death God was in his head, wouldn’t he just be treated like a crazy person?
“Anyway, I can’t run away, damn it!”
“Does Amon have a tracking skill or something?”
“Ah, I don’t know!”
Looking at Weihao who couldn’t answer, Wang Ho Wei thought.
That there was some secret.
‘Still, I’ve grasped the situation.’
The relationship between Amon and Weihao, what Weihao usually did as action squad leader, his past actions, etc.
He had obtained most of the necessary information.
It was just regrettable that he couldn’t interrogate him more.
‘This guy is easy to handle.’
Is that why Amon keeps him around?
Wang Ho Wei didn’t know the detailed intention behind bringing Weihao all the way to Korea, but he was satisfied.
With the thought that if he played his cards right, he could steal the guy’s action squad leader position.
‘What could it mean that he made him action squad leader? At least he must think of him as a trusted subordinate.’
He didn’t know what weakness was being held that made Weihao struggle so much, but he planned to steal the guy’s position.
Just like he had stolen the position of head of the underworld.
‘Of course I won’t kill him. He’s Amon’s subordinate. Plus there was a warning not to fight each other.’
He just needed to make Weihao’s stupidity stand out.
Additionally, it would be even better if he could show how capable he himself was.
The method he had thought of as his first plan for this purpose?
‘To lead him into entering the labyrinth right away.’
If he dies on his own in the Labyrinth, his vacant position would naturally become his.
Wouldn’t this be a peaceful method?
Wang Ho Wei, who had decided to execute his plan right away while he was at it, suddenly let out a chuckling laugh.
For Weihao, who was already in a bad mood, this could only be an irritating situation.
“…Why are you suddenly laughing?”
“Ah, sorry sorry. I just remembered what you said earlier. Hehe.”
“What’s so damn annoying that you’re cracking up?”
“You said earlier that you couldn’t wear your clothes because monster fluids got on them, right?”
“So what?”
“That sounds like you’re saying your skills are so pathetic that you can’t even avoid fluids… Pfft, to say something like that with your own mouth… it’s kind of funny.”
“This bastard really!”
Weihao shot up and glared murderously while in his underwear.
Wang Ho Wei acted out a worried expression without any agitation.
“Huh? Don’t tell me you want to fight? Amon is probably watching, right? This is bad. If he finds out we fought, there’ll be hell to pay.”
“Grrr… Damn it!”
Organization member Cheol Soon approached Weihao as he returned to his spot.
“Boss, please try some of this…”
“I’m not eating, you bastard!”
Wang Ho Wei’s eyes gleamed as he watched Weihao blow away the triangle kimbap with telekinesis.
“If you have such useful telekinesis, why were you getting monster fluids all over yourself?”
“You think I wanted to get covered in it? I fell into a trap and had no choice!”
“If you fall into traps, that means your skills aren’t that great…”
“Have you even seen my skills? A bastard who hasn’t even tried trap missions running his mouth.”
“Trap missions? I’ve done them.”
“At best it was probably the early 30th Floor.”
“No? I’ve cleared all the way to the 39th Floor.”
“What? You?”
Weihao asked in surprise.
“So you’re saying it’s your turn to enter the 40th Floor now?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought you were useless, but you’re pretty good.”
“Don’t tell me you too?”
“Of course. Did you think I couldn’t clear that much?”
“Yeah. You were pathetically covered in fluids and walking around in your underwear, so I honestly looked down on you. Frankly, you could just ask those subordinates over there for clothes, but seeing you not bother to change into new clothes made me think you’re kind of dirty.”
“Ah, this guy’s been subtly picking at me from the start.”
“It’s not subtle, I’m openly picking at you.”
“This bastard! Want to have a go!?”
Round two began once again.
Each time this happened, the subordinates around them watched the two like time bombs that could explode at any moment.
For Wang Ho Wei, he could only smile inwardly thinking everything was going according to plan.
“Can you show your real skills in such a cramped place?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Let’s enter the Labyrinth. Coincidentally, we’re at the same floor level, so we’ll probably be grouped as a party.”
“You’re suggesting we see who can hunt more monsters, right? Fine. Let’s go in right now.”
“Put some clothes on first.”
The two who had been bickering opened the office door and left.
A silence fell as if a typhoon had swept through.
“Did they leave?”
“Why did those two go out?”
“Don’t tell me they went to fight?”
“What about the reporters who were at the front door? Did they all leave?”
Just as the organization members were murmuring.
Knock knock.
The office door opened with a knock and a man entered.
“Um… this is the Amon Guild, right?”
“Who are you? Are you a reporter?”
“Huh? No.”
“Then? Are you here to join the guild?”
“No, that’s not it either. I came to meet Amon… isn’t he here?”
“Amon?”
The organization members were dumbfounded.
He came to meet Amon, whom even they hadn’t seen?
“Who are you to meet Amon?”
“Me? My name is Kim Ju-wan.”
“Who’s that supposed to be?”
Kim Ju-wan’s eyes gleamed as he answered.
“I’m the person who made an appointment to meet with Amon before.”
