Regression Is Too Much

41 – The second floor is too suspicious (2)

“You know. What do you want?”

“… “

“A sign. Pass it over Since you’re capable, shouldn’t you just accept a new quest?”

Men still blackmail women.

Let’s take a peek and summarize the information we can derive from this situation…

First. That woman put the gold rank token in her hand.

How do you know? There’s something shining golden above your head, and you’re stupid not knowing. Apparently, if you get a token, it has a function that advertises in all directions.

And second. Violence is not allowed here.

I don’t know what the exact scope of violence is, and I don’t know what will happen if I use violence, but that woman is reluctant to push men past her.

Just one question… Can’t we just jump past it?

I have a personality that can’t stand questions. Among the three people blocking the road, I spoke to the man in the middle.

“Hey.”

“… What?”

When I heard a voice behind me, the man reflexively tried to push me away, barely stopping.

“That woman, why didn’t she just jump over?”

“What?”

“No… You guys are blocking the road, but I just thought it wouldn’t be possible to just skim over it quickly.”

“Ha. Did you just come Stop bothering me and get out of here.”

A man looking straight ahead again without a proper answer.

It looks like you don’t want to tell me… I can only try it myself.

“Huh… “

As a result of searching on the Internet, the world record for sergeant jump is 155cm. However, my physical ability, whose stats have been pumped through the achievement level and the berserker’s medicine, is more than that. Transcended the limits of existing humankind.

It contracts the muscles in its legs and releases the accumulated power for an instant. As soon as my feet come off the ground, my body soars rapidly to the point where the surrounding environment looks like an afterimage.

This is the point of view of a superman. This is the world where superhumans live. This is what I should get used to…

Kung!

“Kek!”

Instantly, the front of my eyes flashed, and I felt intense pain in my neck and back of my head, and my vision went forward.

“What?”

“That bastard, did you jump?”

As soon as the men looked back, embarrassed by the sound my head made, I saw a woman who was looking for an opportunity to squeeze through the gaps between the men and run toward the angel.

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the second floor.]

***

“… Okay.”

I never thought they would physically block the ceiling.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have jumped a little more gently. But what I regret is the fact that I jumped with my arms above my head and hit my head.

No, the arms can pass through invisible barriers… It’s a little unfair that the head can’t go through.

When I took off a pair of leather shoes and threw them over my head, the shoes bounced off about 3 meters away.

“Hey, Chin… “

Before the loud black man could speak to me, I walked over to the angel who was raging by the fountain.

“As a bonus, rewards for each level… “

“Angel.”

“Wait a minute! I’m explaining it!”

After finishing the explanation, the angel looked at me.

“Yes, what is it?”

“It looks like there is a protective film on the ceiling… I think this arm can pass through.”

“Why is that a problem?”

“… Isn’t it strange that the arms can go through, but the head can’t?”

“No wonder! Humans are human even without arms! You’re human even if you don’t have legs! But if you don’t have a head, you’re not human! All barriers are based on the head and chest! At least on the floor that Raphael-sama presides over! Explain why in detail… “

“Thank you.”

The barrier is the head and the heart.

Leaving behind the angel who was trying to make a fuss again, I quickly stepped into one of the alleyways connected to the vacant lot.

＜2Nd floor＞

-Clear Conditions: Cleared by receiving recognition from the city residents and bringing a token of recognition. However, you must not leave the city area. Climbers get along well with each other!

-Clear Reward: Depends on the grade of the mark.

The sentence ‘You must not leave the city area’ was confirmed. Because I confirmed with my body that it was physically blocked. I also confirmed the condition of getting along well.

I’ll have to experiment with the detailed conditions and punishment, but… At least, it was clear that the people who had come to the second floor in advance were reluctant to engage in violence.

What I want to know now is the quest. I think I need to check how this quest is done.

“I’ll pass.”

“Oh, yes.”

Just then, a person with a silver pattern walked out of the alleyway.

Unlike the woman with the golden pattern, he walked to the angel without any hindrance, presented a sign, and disappeared somewhere.

“… Hmm.”

I must have seen a group squatting beside the alley I entered.

Do bullies blocking the road filter silver?

Leaving behind unnecessary impressions, I quickly stepped into the alley.

After walking along the narrow alley, the road widened again.

“… Hmm.”

If the second floor is a city, then the place I arrived at is a kind of residential area. Bed town. On one side, there were houses of reasonable size close to each other, and on one side there were shops such as bakeries, blacksmiths, and grocery stores.

A villager just happened to pass by me.

The way I found out he was a villager was simple. For he was wearing cloth, not leather armor like the climbers.

“Hello?”

“… Hello.”

Residents accept my greetings with eyes that say the world is annoying. Regardless, I decided to ask what I was about to ask.

“This is my first time here… Can I ask for directions just once?”

“… Yes what Because I have nothing to do anyway.”

He nodded unexpectedly and motioned for me to follow him.

“Are you a climber?”

“…”

“There is no need to hide it. Not everyone here. I know it’s on the second floor. I am in the position where I signed a contract with God in the first place.”

A villager who speaks calmly.

“… Aha.”

“At first, we were ambitious too… I get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. There is no separate reward. I just give them the same assignment every time.”

A villager taking me to the bakery.

“For example… The owner here bakes a loaf of bread and gives you a silver token if you submit it. The ingredients, of course, will be provided by the host.”

“… Is it that easy?”

“Some are easier.”

This time, I’m lying in front of a small alley. A resident takes me forward.

“Give this man anything to eat and he’ll give you a Bronze Token. You can give me the by-products from making bread at the bakery earlier.”

“… “

“Don’t look at me like that. In the first place, there is no limit on the number of tokens… We don’t lose anything by giving more or less.”

Villager shrugs. According to him, receiving a Silver or Bronze level reward seemed like literally lying down and eating rice cakes.

However, all my doubts have not yet been answered.

“How do I get Gold Tokens or Platinum Tokens?”

“Um… “

The villager tried to be as expressionless as possible, but that didn’t stop him from slightly twisting his eyebrows.

“Would you like to take a look over there?”

As he said, I looked around and saw a splendid mansion at the end of the road.

“That is the house where the self-proclaimed nobles live. In the yard like this, they are still f*cking idiots to keep their dignity.”

“… Ah yes.”

“I know that if you are recognized by them, you will receive a golden mark. They say they’ll give you a platinum token if you really like it, but unlike other tokens that don’t limit the number, each person only has 3 platinum tokens.”

“Ooh… “

“But… We do not recommend aiming for the golden mark. Those chimes have really good personalities. Anyway, useless bastards. If it were me, I’d just get the Silver Mark. Wow.”

Residents who spit on the floor just thinking about it made me feel dirty.

“Aha… Thank you for your kind guidance.”

After I parted ways with the residents, I started walking, looking around the streets.

The number of residents was really large. I also saw a few mixed players.

They’re all people who can give you a Bronze or Silver rank mark…

“Hmm… “

My head is complicated.

The first thing that comes to mind is ‘Can I duplicate quests given by villagers? Is it okay to bring multiple tokens?’ Was the question.

And the second question that came to my mind is the enormous gap between the silver and gold grades.

It’s too easy to get silver level tokens. It’s a giveaway level.

If you want to survive in the top, or if you want to become stronger, this was a level that pushes you to challenge the gold level.

Was it intentional? Or is the head of the angel who designed the second floor a flower garden?

And the third is Dongbit, and the conflict between the villagers who give Silver Tokens and the villagers who give Golden Tokens.

It seemed that there was something behind it.

However, one bigger question than the three questions above was eating away at my heart.

“Suspicious… so suspicious… “

Maybe it’s because I’m an avid reader of web novels… Or, I don’t know if this tower induces flexible thinking.

However, personally, I don’t think it makes sense that the rewards are cut off at the Platinum level.

“… No matter how you think about it, I guess.”

Diamond Tier Rewards. Or, a hidden reward that can only be obtained once.

The structure of this town… It’s kind of odd that there aren’t any hidden rewards.
