The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 16:

Tutorial floor 60 (Part 3)

 

As usual I was humming to myself as I was walking through the empty residential district .
This was the good thing about being along .
There was no one to comment if I was tone deaf or couldn’t keep the beat . Hahahahahah .

I went to the outdoor café that I’ve been going to a lot recently .
I took a seat and ordered .

‘One caramel macchiato please . ’

My points were deducted and a caramel macchiato appeared in front of my eyes .
Nice . Really nice .

I’m starting to taste the feeling of life these days .
Instead of feeling despair and powerless every day, it was filled with hope and excitement although I was alone and I couldn’t go any further .

This was all thanks to the newbie Lee Yeon Hee who entered the **** difficulty 30 days ago with the start of the 81st Attempt .

These days my time passes as I think of her day by day .
What can I do to help her grow stronger more efficiently?
Are there any other safer roads she can take?
What if she gets real unlucky and just dies?
I had daily thoughts of her with a certain worry and also an expectation .

I needed to help her even just a little to make sure that her growth was safe and efficient .
Hence, I gathered all the information I had seen on the Community chat and made a small guideline fit for her .

She was growing stronger by the minute, faster than anyone that had entered since the Tutorial's 1st Attempt . If we took a look at her growth rate, she’s probably growing stronger faster than I did when I was attempting this during the 1st attempt .

But of course, she has the information that I didn’t know back then, but this didn’t mean that she didn’t have much ability as me to get stronger .

Actually, she was overwhelmingly superior to me in that sense .
When I entered this place during the first attempt, I was a nobody with small muscle mass from atrophy of the muscles . I wasn't that fit either , at the best it was just subpar average .

She on the other hand was a professional archer .
On top of that, she was Korea's national representative, a qualification that is rumoured to be harder to get than the Olympic gold medal .

Basically her muscle mass, stamina, flexibility and reflexes were much more superior than mine .
Although archery itself is not a sport that requires large movements, if you get to the professional level, your basic training would be much more intense than a normal person .

On top of that, the concentration, ability to think, originality, ability to make decision, motivation to challenge, mind control etc… Her mental stat would be amazing .

Due to the large psychological impact of the sport, I heard that the archery national representatives have a special training to become numb to such distractions .
She would know highly of bio feedback and even thinking routines and active routines .
It may be hard to think of a programme like an actual professional, but she should have some experience so her ability to relate certain training programmes and apply them would be exceptional .

What was even better was that she had the determination and motivation to clear the Tutorial too .
Although she did disregard my aid in getting the tolerance skills and ability to tank hits to help aid with training, she takes into account most of the advice I give her . She’s using this to the best of her advantage by applying them to her own training practices and planning of growing to clear the Tutorial .

The best . Perfect .

This wasn’t something that could simply be done just by relying on superior specs .
The multiple sports players, fighters, and even special agents that were dragged into this tutorial world . How many of the gifted and talented have been killed here?
Even those so called ‘specialists’ couldn't ensure their survival in Hard difficulty .
Let's not bring in Hell difficulty here, where the difference is off the scales . . .
With no relation to the outcome, the fact that she cleared the 1st floor proved that she was smart and had promising talent .

Of course just clearing the 1st floor doesn’t assure your safety for what’s to come .
Even with all that said, clearing the 1st floor doesn't mean that you're prepared enough for what's to come .
A plenty number of people had died on floors higher than the first, nothing was to be taken for granted .

But I couldn't help it . I was excited about Lee Yeon Hee's arrival, maybe a little bit too excited . Clearing the 1st floor and the progress she was making to grow stronger was evident, it was plenty to keep my hopes up .

‘Five cookie gift sets . ’

My points were deducted and 5 boxes of cookies wrapped in pink wrapping paper appeared .
This was perfect .

I took out the bag I had prepared in my inventory .

I put the cookie set in the bag and checked what was in the bag once again .

A light leather armour set with no specifications required .
A finger tab and arm-guard for archers .
A necklace that amplified intelligence and protected the mental status .
Rings that had useful everyday skills .
A one-use warm lunchbox set and a variety of drinks .
Thin clothes and underwear to wear underneath the armour .
Basic toiletry and a high quality sleeping bag .
A mirror, perfume and cosmetics .
100 quotes to boost motivation and a poetry book that was good to read before going to sleep .
A rubiks cube and other mentally stimulating devices .

I made sure that I didn't send too many items that would protect her .
I didn't want to hinder her growth rate by giving her exceptional equipment from the start .
She has to grow as much as she could in the lower levels . Otherwise, it will be hard for her stay alive in the later floors .

Although there was the potential to clear the other floors with some of these overpowered items, it had its limits . Nothing was guaranteed in Hell difficulty .
There were more than just traps to threaten the players stuck in the Tutorial .
Horror, anxiety, loneliness, the list goes on .
The number of people that fell due to mental problems were numerous .
Due to this, I chose to gather equipment that would lessen the stress she was experiencing .

Would it be enough?
If it was a guy I would have even sent maybe a **** magazine .
I wasn’t too sure what to send to a girl .

Would it be ok to send her a vibrator?
As I was thinking of this, a message appeared .

[Park Jung Ah: Aren’t you going to say anything?]

Park Jung Ah .
One of the few girls I knew .
The leader of the JaGyeongDan which was a group who kept public order and law in this place .

[Lee Ho Jae: Hell difficulty 60th floor . No problems here . I mean, it would be weird if there were any problems . You know there’s only me in this place, why do I have to do this every week?]

I too was a member of JaGyeongDan .
Evidently, I didn't really do much .

[Park Jung Ah: Are you saying that it’s ok to be late every month just because you don’t want to do that?]

I mean, it wasn't a big deal .
I wanted to talk to her anyway .

I talked to her about the **** that I was about to send to the newbie and asked Park Jung Ah if it was ok .

[Park Jung Ah: Of course you can’t, you retard!]

It was pretty expensive .
It wasn’t something a newbie that just cleared the 1st floor could buy easily with their points .

[Park Jung Ah: It doesn’t matter if it is expensive you **** . ]

It’s important to relieve yourself from your sexual desires .
You can get positive results physically and mentally . Not only does it help you relieve stress, it can also help with depression .

What do I do?
Should I at least send her a glue stick?

[Park Jung Ad: You're a pervert I swear…]

"Auction . "

I opened the Auction tab and listed the bag .

The opening bid was 77 points .
When you send a gift to a person through the Auction tab, the starting bid was always 77 points .

Although there were times where people who bid on items for 77 points just to disrupt this unofficial method of gifting, but it wasn’t too common .

There is a law passed down by the JaGyeongDan stating that disrupting the sending of gifts was illegal . If such an act were to be committed 3 times and the person does not apologise or compensate for it, the person goes on the Wanted List .

When you're on the Wanted List, you're liable to be arrested when steppnig into any JaGyeongDan territory .
And of course, it goes without saying that you get punished .

Due to the tutorial’s distinct characteristics, the punishments the JaGyeongDan performed were standardised .
With no relation to law, once an outlaw was captured, they get sent to a waiting room or a residential area for a JaGyeongDan representative to lay judgement .
Judgement could vary from imprisonment to the death penalty .

The judgement is strict and fair . Luckily,there hasn't been anyone in JaGyeongDan who has attempted to manipulate the laws to their advantage .

However, these were rules that were easy to use for one’s self gain . There were many times where people of the JaGyeongDan complained that these rules were too loose, however they have never been changed once .

The reason for this was to plant a seed of doubt into the minds of the people, hence preventing crime .
I agreed to this point .

During the time of the Tutorial's inception ,there were a lot of assault and **** victims .
Most of them were underage and elderly women .

But now, the elderly and women could grow through the Tutorial and become superhuman .
As you go up floor by floor, members of the JaGyeongDan could be seen stationed in waiting rooms . The number of members varied, from 3 to a maximum of 20 people . If it weren’t for this, then perhaps chaos and anarchy may have continued up to now .

As long as these responsible people are part of the JaGyeongDan, then the rules,laws and punishments were always enforced in a proper manner .

‘Hooooo . ’

The bag was safely sent to Lee Yeon Hee through the auction tab .
Hopefully this bag will give her some help .
