[It looks interesting . ]

Ahbooboo spoke as he looked at me silently .

It may look interesting since I’m playing catch marbles .

“What, would you like to try?”

[You know I can’t do it . But you play it well, marbles catching . ]

“Because it’s a game that is to be played with others . Since I was a child, I have been reluctant to admit defeat for this kind of thing . So I made up my mind to win and my skill in turn grew . ”

[Oh… so you played since childhood . ]

What was that attitude?

[If you lose one round, you’d be the annoying kid who declares it invalid and restarts the round . There are always such people . In order to get the results they want, kids struggle desperately, scream, and make trouble . ]

The description is very picturesque .

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen so many children who act shamelessly after losing to me that I can imagine that scene immediately .

But that’s not usually the case in my childhood .

“Regardless, I haven’t done that . ”

[Forget it . Everything has its first time . Anyways, the games played with other people should be lost in order to learn . You still refuse to admit defeat even now?]

“No, you swine . I’ve hardly lost anything like that so far . ”

It’s true .

If I see someone playing catch marbles, I will observe the rules and methods of the game before consulting that person .

Then I’ll practice by myself and invite that person to play when I think I can win .

Since I was a child, I prefer winning games rather than enjoying them .

If one’s eyes are only set on victory, it’s impossible to make a fool of yourself when challenging someone without knowing the methods .

[Yes, yes . You are right . ]

What should I do with that nasty mouth?

“Wait till I learn silencing magic one day, you just watch . ”

[Then I’ll dispel it . You can’t touch me unless you’re better at magic than I am . Ho, Ho, Ho . ]

I think that’s the biggest reason this guy doesn’t teach me magic .

Damn it .

Speaking of the long-lost childhood stories, I can’t help recalling that time I lost to an older kid in my community at a fighting game .

That is a very rare memory .

Note: It means that the MC seldom loses, so there are few such memories .

I put my bag in the seat next to the game console and was brushing past instance zones, but very few people moved my bag aside to challenge me .

I didn’t practice it enough then and that kid was a very good master .

If I could win, pigs might fly .

After losing two games in a row, I ran out of coins and had to go home .

By the time I got more money and returned to the arcade, that kid had disappeared .

My revenge for that lost has not yet been completed .

Because I haven’t seen that kid since .

I chose to be an E-sports player as my profession, which must have been influenced by this memory .

In a sense, that experience had a great impact on my life .

I pick up the scattered marbles .

After about 10 minutes, I think I’ve played enough .

“Is this all right?”

[No . You must check for even slight symptoms of poisoning . The toxicity can penetrate into the body through the surface of the skin . ]

Ahbooboo is right .

Every time this happens, I feel inconvenienced by my excessive resistance .

If my resistance is weaker, I could react immediately at any level of incubation .

After leaving the waiting room, I have to spend some time experimenting .

I was just playing catch marbles with crystals made from Poison Ki and aura .

This is what Kiri Kiri advised me to do .

When I asked Kiri Kiri about the development of the Poison Ki, she got angry with me at first, but then told me that I should improve the safety of my Poison Ki rather than its power .

She added that enhancing the power and flexibility comes after this .

She suggests that I should liquefy Poison Ki for coating first .

As soon as I return to the waiting room, I make poison blood and started testing .

But whether it’s glass, plastic, or steel, it’s not easy to directly coat things with dissolved Poison Ki (poison blood) .

Magic couldn’t control the Poison Ki, so I had to store it as solidified aura crystals .

Making aura crystals was more difficult than I thought .

After several days of hard work, I was able to produce crystals of the shape and size I wanted .

As the final work, I made several crystals with black venom dangling inside and red aura wrapped outside .

Now it looks like a gem .

[Yes, it looks like a gem, a gem mined from hell . The surface is as bright red as blood and there is a dark sticky liquid slushing inside . The only person who can see these things as gemstones is you . ]

I ignore Ahbooboo’s murmur .

That is just my personal feeling .

I appreciate the aura crystal, I was making sure my hands will not be stained with poison .

I should confirm it again outside the waiting room where I can try more experiments .

Kiri Kiri’s advice was helpful .

Have I known that even if she has asserted that there were no tips for me, I would eventually get useful advice if I just approach a subject without going straight to the point .

Another thing is that just one cake won’t entice her to make suggestions .

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: Hey, are you available?]

Kim MinHyuk’s message after such a long time .

No matter what happened, it’s usually Park JungAh who sends messages to me .

I have rarely talked to Kim MinHyuk since I handed over the personnel management of Hell Difficulty to Lee Hyung Jin .

Although we occasionally chatted, since he didn’t have to meet with me to discuss the Order of Vigilance and he had nothing to report, the chatting time naturally decreased .

[Lee HoJae, 41st floor: I’m available . ]

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor:… When did you go up to the 41st floor? Well, forget it . I got information from the newcomers who entered this round . It’s said that the government is investigating the status and the location of the challenger’s family . It is estimated that they will get the information next cycle or the cycle after that . ]

That’s a long time .

When those graduating from the tutorial come into contact with the government, their first action was to confirm the status of their families .

It’s been months since graduates began to appear . It looks like the government is finally starting to work .

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: It seems that there are several graduates who are dissatisfied with the government . There is a rumor that they intend to go to other countries and because of this, they are now accused of being traitors or something . I guess it was because of this that the government rushed to action . ]
