Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 136
136. Do You Perhaps Need Money?
I walked alone through the empty labyrinth.
In a way, it was someone else’s labyrinth.
‘To think I can look around the labyrinth after clearing it. This is a first.’
Usually after clearing a labyrinth, aren’t you busy getting out?
Or moving on to the next floor.
‘There’s no reason to stay behind. It’s not like they give you anything.’
Even before my regression, I never thought to look around the labyrinth.
I was too busy trying to survive, what was there to see?
Flap!
I flew around and looked at every corner of the labyrinth.
‘Well, there’s nothing special.’
I waited for a considerable amount of time, but the boss didn’t respawn either.
‘No message telling me to leave either.’
I was definitely trapped.
Well, an uninvited apostle entered, so there’s no way the system would be considerate.
‘I have no intention of staying trapped like this.’
I closed my eyes and used the function of the Transcendent’s Clockwork Watch.
I safely returned using instant teleportation.
It bothered me a bit that I came back without much gain.
‘It’s fine. Just not losing my companions is enough.’
Jason and the supporter party almost got wiped out.
Soon the front door opened with a beeping sound.
It was Jason.
“Oh, Tae Seong. You were home.”
“Jason, you’re a bit late.”
“Ah, I was talking with the Supporters for a while.”
I guess they had various discussions at the cafe again.
“Did you come up with any countermeasures?”
“Yes. It seems we’ve been hunting too dangerously.”
Well, a party that relies only on Jason.
It couldn’t help but be a precarious party composition.
After all, isn’t it better when everyone shares the burden of carrying the log together?
“So what did you decide to do?”
“We decided to recruit more dealers. About one or two people.”
“I see. It should be good to add dealers now.”
“The problem is we don’t know where to find them. If we openly recruit, an enormous number of people will flock to us, won’t they?”
I nodded while listening.
Considering the Supporters’ popularity, it wasn’t wrong.
“If possible, we’d like skilled people, but separating the wheat from the chaff among all those people… Sigh.”
“That’s your concern?”
“Yes. We talked about what to do for quite a while.”
Well, it’s not a big deal.
“If that’s the problem, I can solve it for you.”
“Huh? Do you perhaps know someone…?”
“Yes. I know some skilled people among my acquaintances.”
The German and British person who ranked 5th and 6th among the former Twelve Apostles of the Three Gods.
If I recruit them into Amon Guild, it would be easily resolved.
‘Though I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to persuade them.’
For now, I told Jason.
I would handle it, so don’t post any recruitment notices.
“Then I should tell Se Hee not to post the notice either…”
“No. I’ll tell her myself. I’m going to meet her anyway.”
Because I had something to give to Park Se Hee.
“Wow… So that person was Amon.”
Park Se Hee, Seo Mina, and Han So Ra were staying at the cafe, having a lively conversation.
None other than a conversation about Amon.
“I was so startled then, you know? Who would have known the Orc Hero would charge at Se Hee unnie?”
“It was fortunate that Amon appeared, otherwise I really thought I was going to die.”
“That’s right, why did you have to step forward?”
“Mina, what are you saying? She was trying to save Jason. If Se Hee unnie hadn’t intervened, Jason would already be gone from this world, wouldn’t he?”
“I’d rather have Jason die. Se Hee unnie absolutely cannot die. Just thinking about it makes me cry…”
It wasn’t a lie, as Seo Mina’s eyes really turned red with tears.
Park Se Hee smiled and expressed her gratitude for those feelings.
“I should be grateful to Amon. We almost had an ocean of tears, didn’t we?”
“If that Protective Barrier hadn’t appeared at just the right moment, it would have been really dangerous, unnie.”
“But that barrier was incredibly sturdy, wasn’t it?”
“Right. I’ve never seen such long-lasting Invincibility before.”
“It wasn’t Invincibility but just a simple Protective Barrier, right? The thickness is determined by the amount of Mana…”
“Then how high is Amon’s Mana?”
“I don’t know. But seeing how he easily subdued that terrifying Orc Hero, he’s definitely unimaginably strong.”
The others nodded at Park Se Hee’s words.
“He’s really amazing. How does he have a Skill that lets him enter other people’s Labyrinths?”
“Thanks to him, we hunted comfortably. We even avoided a life-threatening situation.”
“But Mina. You seemed to know Amon…”
“I told you before, right? About how I was harassed by Loan Sharks because of my father’s debt. Those guys were treating me pretty roughly back then, and Amon appeared and took care of them, remember?”
“He saved you in a moment of crisis again?”
“Yes, that’s right. I never dreamed that person was actually Amon.”
“So you had that kind of connection with Amon.”
Having a connection with Amon.
Everyone looked at Seo Mina with envious eyes.
“Um, this is a bit embarrassing to reveal… Actually, I had a connection with Amon from even before that.”
“Really?”
“What happened that’s so embarrassing?”
“Actually… I once tried to use Mind Control on Amon to steal his Items.”
“What?”
“Oh, really?”
“What happened was…”
While they were having this conversation for a while.
“Huh? Amon is coming here?”
“Really?”
Not long after Park Se Hee spoke, Amon really appeared.
“So you were here.”
“Oh, you came?”
“Please sit here.”
Since it was who it was, everyone’s attitude was polite.
In a way, from their perspective, Amon felt like both a benefactor and an Agency CEO.
He was the person who made the current Supporters possible.
“Would you like to order coffee? I’ll buy it for you.”
“I’m fine. I just came to talk briefly.”
“Even if it’s brief, it’s one drink per person, so you have to order.”
“In that case…”
Only after Amon completed his order did he bring up the main topic.
“I heard from Jason. That you’re looking for a Party.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It seems like there are limits with just us currently.”
“Do you also think it’s better to find a Party, Amon?”
Amon nodded up and down, showing his agreement.
“Right. But don’t do public recruitment.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“I know better people.”
“Oh, really?”
“Will you find them directly for us?”
Amon nodded once more.
The Supporters were delighted.
“If Amon introduces them, they must be trustworthy!”
“Mina. Your voice is too loud. Someone might hear.”
“Oops, sorry. But honestly, even if we said Amon, no one would believe us.”
“Right. You look too young.”
“You look the same age as my high school Younger Brother, so that says it all.”
While they were rejoicing, Amon suddenly looked at Park Se Hee and held something out.
“Take this.”
“Huh? This is… a Ring, isn’t it?”
“Oh, what!? A proposal?”
“Ooh, unnie!”
Park Se Hee instantly turned red as a beet from the mischievous teasing around her.
Meanwhile, Amon wasn’t flustered at all and just responded dryly.
“It’s not a proposal, it’s a Ring with Magic Power Options. It’s useless to me.”
“Ah… Thank you. I’ll use it well.”
“What about me?”
“Don’t I get one?”
Now the Supporters were even joking with Amon.
After giving the Ring to Park Se Hee.
“Tae Seong!”
Using Instant Teleportation to go to the United States, I met Joshua.
“You said you had urgent business, what’s going on?”
“I wanted to give you the Magic Stones I’ve collected so far and some C-Rank Magic Stones.”
“C-Rank, you said?”
The surprise was brief as Joshua’s eyes sparkled.
He seemed happy that new Magic Stones were appearing every few days.
“May I take a look?”
When I took them out of my Inventory, Joshua couldn’t hide his amazement.
“Wow, these are heavier than the D-Grade ones you gave me last time? The color is much better too.”
He was satisfied with the lustrous color and solid weight.
“I’ll discuss with my father and sell them at the highest price for you. Just leave them to me.”
“Understood. Joshua, you’re always reliable.”
“Thank you. If you have time, would you like to have a meal together?”
After finishing a meal at an American restaurant with Joshua’s hospitality.
I asked casually in passing.
“Is there a place around here that sells Powerball?”
“Excuse me?”
It would be surprising.
In Korean terms, it would be like a billionaire suddenly asking where to buy lotto tickets.
“Why Powerball…?”
“I want to try one.”
“Do you need money by any chance?”
At those words, my mischievous side activated without me realizing it.
“If I needed it, would you lend it to me?”
“Of course. I could lend even tens of billions to Lord Amon.”
“Do you have tens of billions?”
“I don’t, but I’d have to take out loans to lend it to you.”
Whether he was serious or not, Joshua responded with a serious face.
‘I do need money though.’
The Money Bundle Swing skill that gets stronger the more cash I hold.
To use it as a finishing move later, I need as much money as possible in my account.
It’s not urgent yet though.
“It’s fine. I don’t urgently need money, I’m just doing it for fun. If I win, I’d get trillions of won, right?”
“That’s true, but it’s not an easy thing to do…”
Joshua doesn’t seem to know.
That I have a Future Sight Skill.
‘Haven’t the Supporters told him yet?’
I thought the Supporters would tell Jason, and Jason would tell Joshua?
‘Surprisingly tight-lipped, all of them.’
Since he doesn’t know, there’s no need to tell him.
“You never know if you’ll win or not, right?”
“Uh, that’s true. But it’s not easy…”
“Anyway, foreigners can buy them too, right? What about taxes?”
“I don’t know the details, but foreigners probably pay a bit more in taxes.”
After getting various information.
I went to buy Powerball with Joshua.
“Would you like to buy one too, Joshua?”
“No, I’m fine. It’s obvious it won’t work anyway.”
Joshua just watched me mark the numbers.
“You’re buying manually?”
“Yes.”
Because I know the winning numbers.
Hiding my inner thoughts, I checked the numbers that came to mind through Clear Mind Like Still Water.
“Right now there’s no winner so the rollover is huge. If you hit it, it would really be record-breaking.”
“How much is the jackpot?”
“3 billion dollars.”
That was 5.4 trillion won in Korean currency.
