Episode 303. Baek In-tap
It’s not a foreign country.
It’s so strange that a nest from another world called [Baek In Tower] has appeared in this Republic of Korea.
Jeong Ha-seong was shocked and turned inside out by the news.
And by canceling my dinner shopping schedule, I bought myself some time to fact-check and exchange information.
***
Sejong Special Self-Governing City, Republic of Korea.
A man wearing light-toned, comfortable clothes soon gets out of the car.
Next to him stood a man wearing black leather gloves.
‘In this weather?’
At first glance, it may seem like a bit of a hot outfit, but the person wearing it is a hunter with a very cool vibe, so the feeling of discomfort disappears as you watch.
‘There’s not a single drop of sweat. Is it because you have a cold constitution, or is it because of an undiscovered awakening ability?’
At the scene in Sejong, there are several unfamiliar civil servants from the Constitutional Court and A-class Awakened people with the Beef Up skill.
“Hunter Kang Chang-ho, didn’t you see the call?”
Of course, even in this strict security system, only one awakened person did not disappoint expectations.
“Well, I’m not sure if he’s in the dungeon right now… or not.”
Kang Chang-ho.
The assaulter and the awakened one have recently been raiding various dungeons regardless of region for the purpose of reaching an agreement.
But at first, I thought he was going too faithfully… … .
At some point, the opponent closed the dungeon by using a team of A-class hunters brought from abroad as a proxy.
In common parlance, they practiced ‘automatic hunting’ by simply listing the names of the party leaders in the list.
Because of this, there is a high probability that Kang Chang-ho himself is outside. As expected, he has not confirmed contact with the association.
“Jeong Ha-seong Hunter.
The agreement we signed doesn’t say that I have to run the dungeons myself, it just says that I have to solve at least a certain number of dungeons per month.
Then this isn’t a broken promise?
Even if I recall it again, it’s just nonsense that makes my hair turn white.
“Excuse me, Hunter Jeong. Are you okay? Your face looks pale for some reason.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
However, Jeong Ha-seong ultimately tolerated the other person’s actions.
Because it was annoying.
I never expected Kang Chang-ho to faithfully fulfill his duties, and when I think about it, I feel grateful that he cleared the dungeon even if it meant pouring in money like this.
But since you’re going to bother me anyway, why not come to a dungeon like this?
“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo……”
Swish.
Jeong Ha-seong glanced up at the giant gate in front of him.
And then he closed his eyes tightly and said.
“I’m sorry, but would it be possible for you to force Hunter Kang Chang-ho into participating in the attack?”
The man in black gloves standing next to me shuts his mouth awkwardly, like a frog that has eaten the wrong food.
“Yes… I know that a person of your character like Hunter would never use such violent methods. I know that. But.”
The blonde hunter is still silent.
“under…….”
The undisputed number one in the Korean hunter industry knew what to do with his fellow trader’s words and calmly interpreted them, holding back his anger on his own.
Anyway, let’s just let Kang Chang-ho’s case slide.
In any case, a tiring incident has arrived in many ways.
That would be the case, since the dungeon in front of them was known to be extremely difficult.
“excuse me.”
At this time.
A person who awakened from the Gangwha lineage in Sejong City said.
“Hello, Hunter Jung! But I just received the official document and went out right away. When I searched the Pixie database, nothing came up.”
“yes?”
“It seems like a pretty dangerous dungeon. What exactly is [White Tower] that two S-ranks came here?”
The saying, “seeing is believing” is also used in this industry.
The association’s office staff worked day and night to provide hunters with as much quality information as possible.
To be exact, we have put a lot of effort into collecting data.
But no matter how hard you run around, it’s hard to know the details of another world better than someone who is directly involved in the field.
“If this explodes, will Sejong City be ruined?”
Perhaps the best explanation for this situation is a living legend whose personal experience has run into the thousands.
The two men’s heads turned simultaneously at the question of a Sejong City resident.
At this, the A-class Awakened person flinched.
“well.”
Contrary to concerns, what followed was only a friendly tone from the national hero with a good voice.
“First of all, since this dungeon is the first to appear in our country, South Korea, it seems that actual cases have not been well reported.”
“Ah, yes.”
“So let me tell you. [Baek In-tap] is……”
After a while, Ha-seong said.
“It starts with the name, meaning that it will take a hundred people to clear this dungeon.”

Something is not right from the start.
“In simple terms, it means that it is a difficult dungeon.”
“omg.”
“I first experienced this type of dungeon called Baek In-Top in Singapore. Well, from what I’ve researched, it seems like it’s a term from some game… “
“What term?”
“If you’re someone who enjoys entertainment, you’ll probably understand it easily. This special blue gate can be summarized in one word. The interior is a ‘boss rush’ format.”
Aha! Boss Rush!
When those words came out, several young people at the scene exclaimed in understanding.
Of course, the alien, who couldn’t help but know this, looked at Ha-seong restlessly, and Jeong-ha-seong suddenly tensed up when he saw the man’s reaction.
This is because the number one ranking side interpreted the man’s actions as giving a hint.
“Oh, right. There are a lot of people here who don’t know the technical terms, so I’ll have to explain everything first. Well, not everyone studies all the time like Hunter Kim.”
A distortion that is no longer worth mentioning.
“Well, and since the White Tower is a rare dungeon, there’s probably a lot of information that hasn’t been revealed to the world. Well, then I’ll tell you about the parts I experienced in as much detail as possible.”
The national hero continues his explanation.
But in the conversation that followed, I couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Well, that’s because the black-haired mammal remembered every little detail and explained the contents of the dungeon.
The conditions of the White Tower are complex.
① The name is Baekintop, but the structure cannot accommodate 100 people. The internal area is narrow like an arena, so the number of challengers is naturally limited.
②There are 10 floors in total.
③When you enter, only bosses that exist in the world will appear randomly within the dungeon difficulty range.
④ Here, the randomness includes the number of enemies. In the case that Jeong Ha-seong experienced, they came out in a chaotic manner in the order of 3-1-2-2 (enemies) per floor… .
⑤When you enter through the gate, the entrance closes after about 30 seconds and the first floor trial begins, so no additional personnel can be added in the middle.
It feels like a dungeon that was purposely created to extract pain.
This is a gate where only leader-level monsters come out one after another.
‘I think I’ve definitely heard something like that somewhere on the news.’
The Awakened people gathered at the scene almost nodded for a moment, but then when they heard the example coming from Ha-seong’s mouth, they all opened their mouths in bewilderment.
“To use an analogy, this dungeon is like a Golden Fragrance [Grid] with three of them coming out at a time, one of them is shaking the ground in a ground shaking pattern, one is swinging its fist at the hunters, and the last one is coming to tackle them.”
“Ow…….”
oh my god.
“It’s crazy to even imagine. But it seems like it’s designed to get more difficult as you go up the levels. In the second half, all the demons that you don’t want to see come out from one place…….”
Anyway, it’s difficult.
As Jeong Ha-seong finished his story with that explanation, silence fell.
“Jeong Ha-seong. But didn’t you close this Baek In-tap by yourself before?”
The one who broke the mood was a blond man.
“Yes. When I broke the White Tower, Singapore was suffering from oversaturation of the Dragon’s Nest… Korea was also not very well-off, so I remember that I ended up going there alone.”
“hmm.”
“At that time, I was personally working very hard. I was fully awake three days a week, so looking back now, I wonder what kind of mindset I had while working…….”
A little trouble.
The number one ranked hunter somehow notices the blonde below him standing next to him during the conversation.
But the recollection of something is fleeting.
“In addition to this, the White Tower is also a dungeon that feels more difficult due to the basic limitations of humans.”
Jeong Ha-seong straightened his head and continued to recite the important details of the dungeon.
“First of all, ‘camping’ is impossible.”
“camping?”
“The room is small. Once you kill all the monsters in that round, you’ll be immediately moved to the next floor, so there’s no time to rest.”
“Ugh.”
“So this is a dungeon that kills people.”
Once you start clearing, it’s a gate where you can’t even sit down for a moment until you reach the final floor.
The Awakened people gathered at the scene all harden their expressions.
Their eyes looked tired, like those of office workers facing an unwanted holiday.
If the gate mechanism is this complex, even if we gather all the A-class players, there will definitely be various dangers.
Could it be that the prestige of [Baek In-tap] has been high for nothing?
“Don’t worry too much, everyone.”
However, their country did not have to worry too much about such unusually high-difficulty dungeons.
The appearance of various attributes.
The long path that is characteristic of tower-type dungeons.
No matter what evil flaws you add, in the end this is just a nest. But as you can see, the hunting industry in the Republic of Korea is blessed with one thing: human resources.
“The conversation has gotten long. As per the agreement already reached with the association headquarters, I will be in charge of this gate.”
“omg!”
“yes?”
It’s nothing more than an attempt to conquer [Baek In-tap] by one person.
“I just gave you the explanation so that you can refer to it if something like this pops up again while I’m away.”
What’s even more surprising is that the person who spoke had a rather bright complexion.
“Since the Baek In-top’s rank is fixed at A-class anyway, it’s actually the cleanest to have one high-ranking person handle it rather than forcing a lot of people to join in.”
For reference, Esther declined the offer, saying she did not feel the need to rush into a dungeon that was not even an S-class.
“1 person?”
But besides that purple-haired sorcerer, isn’t there a companion here right now?
“Why one person? What about Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo next to you?”
“Ah. Mr. Kim Hunter……”
Sigh.
Between an office worker and the number one ranking person talking.
The hunter, who had been standing still like a sack of barley, slowly put his head inside the gate.
“I just followed you to analyze the rarity gate.”
“Ahh~”
“I guess you also have [emotion] skills.”
So that’s why you were standing there with your back to the ground like it was someone else’s problem.
Well, it’s true that I rarely see an appraiser accompanying someone on a dungeon raid…
‘A S-class emotional intelligence.’
Even in a case like this, is it right to protect people with special abilities?
It was around the time when Sejong City staff were embarrassed by the overly strong emotions.
The dyed-haired man who had been poking his head into the passageway of the other world pulls his body back again.
“Have you checked everything, Hunter?”
Confirmation.
Yeah, that’s definitely what I came down to do at first.
“Hunter?”
The emotional observer, having finished observing, immediately reacts strangely.
I thought it was a perfect expressionless state that no human being could discern.
‘Europshow.’
This dungeon called [Baek In Tower].
Because no matter how much I looked around, something was strange.
A certain atmosphere that feels like ‘cheap’, especially if expressed in words mainly used by the people of this land.
‘hmm.’
It’s clearly a nest that is marked as A-class by Pixie’s analyzer.
When I went inside, the magic I felt on my skin was slightly different.
‘Why do I feel so uneasy?’
In the judgment of the Archmage.
This dungeon felt like the magic power levels on each floor were excessively uneven.
“Ugh.”
“Why are you doing that?”
But it was difficult to explain this to Ha-seong.
‘The lower floor is clearly an A-class gate no matter where you look… but I have a gut feeling that the upper floor would be an S-class gate.’
because.
The negative atmosphere felt here was something that could only be perceived with the transcendent magical powers of a great wizard.
“Hunter Kim. Are you worried that I might overdo it in this dungeon?”
“…….”
“But I already experienced the Baek In Tower last time, so I know. I’m sure that I can conquer this place much more easily now.”
“…….”
“I will achieve results that will make you regret what you taught me. Please trust me.”
There would be no benefit in revealing such a wonderful sixth sense in front of Earthlings.
After finishing the calculations, he said, gently pulling up my glove towards my wrist.
“Ha Sung-ah. I changed my mind, so please contact the association.”
“yes?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just want to take a look at the gate.”
It means that since it is difficult to explain anyway, they just made up some other reason.
“Anyway, I have to see the results of the class with my own eyes, so I can find out what needs to be improved… “
“iced coffee.”
Jeong Ha-seong.
A young man with a calm personality who usually shows little change in expression soon starts to show many reactions.
By the time the hunter standing next to him said this while touching his forehead, the number one ranked man was unusually shocked.
“Ugh. Suddenly, I have a headache from the stress and muscle tension from the fierce battle with Kang Chang-ho…”
“omg!?”
“…Since I have more left, it will be difficult for me to help in the battle, so please keep that in mind.”
It was just that the Sam Baek-an side had such a dry expression that it was difficult to understand.
When I listened carefully, I realized that it was just a joke and the mood soon lightened.
“Oh, yes! Of course. I will take great care of it so that you can focus solely on the analysis.”
The Korean [Baek In Pagoda] has a severely divided magic power concentration by floor, like a mixture of water and oil.
So is the final boss of this dungeon really an S-rank that has been given resources?
‘There’s an 80% chance that it was just my mood.’
It doesn’t really matter what it is.
‘Even if a real S-class chin-up boss appears, there’s a 90% chance that Jeong Ha-seong will roast him.’
As seen in the [Six-foot Corridor] incident the other day.
Jeong Ha-seong’s current skill level is different from when he cleared the Singapore [Baek In-top] in the past.
‘And, even if something really goes wrong, if this body armed with equipment worth a trillion won helps, there is a 100% chance of survival.’
Huh.
But if you are lazy and the S-class you worked so hard to raise dies, it would be a big problem.
So, in order to prevent the loss of the delisting payment, he decides to take out insurance called self-insurance.
Ranked #1 after rigorous training!
Additionally, you will be accompanied by a bio-trap detector that is superior to most emotional detectors.
These two monsters are only judged as Class A, so what kind of trouble could they possibly experience?
“Hasung-ah. Let’s get ready quickly.”
“yes.”
“Come to think of it, tomorrow morning is Yoonseung Ahn. I have an acquaintance in the industry who got an invitation to a famous restaurant on a social media site called Gram, so I also got a free schedule….”
.
.
.
But the great wizard and his disciple.
I regretted entering this nest just 30 seconds after entering the dungeon.
– Ding ding ding ding ding ding… … .
-【Welcome】
To be exact, I was regretting challenging this nest ‘with my colleagues’.
– [If life is too easy, it’s no fun.]
– [So this time it’s new]
– [Prepared.]
Anyway, how on earth did those sentence elements that are so frequently omitted end up inhabiting the bodies of complex mammals like humans?
– Penalty
