The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 220:

[Welcome to the Tournament . ]
[Tournament Day 1, 0:17]
I’m moved to a secluded forest .
How unexpected .
Previous tournaments were held in the residential areas like floor 30 or floor 60 .
I thought this one would take place in the residential area of floor 90, but instead I’m transported to a forest . .
More importantly, there is nobody around .
I thought it would be crowded with people, but I can only sense a woman and a man .
Only two people .
[Lee HoJae，50th floor: What’s this?]
[Kim MinHyuk，30th floor: …Hey . Tell me honestly . You pretend to read all my messages, then ignore them, right?]
Yep .
I decide not to send a reply to Kim MinHyuk after seeing his message .
“Hello?”
The woman pacing around comes to greet me .
“Yes . Hello . ”
I greet the man who approached late then request the duo to explain the situation to me .
The woman speaks with embarrassment .
“Didn’t you read the guide? The Order of Vigilance informed us last month . ”
No .
I haven’t been in the community in a while . How could I have read that?
“Why don’t we proceed? You can listen to the rest as you go . I can deal with all the monsters enroute alone anyways . ”
Boasts the man a step behind us .
He looks to be in his early 20s .
After entering the tutorial, challengers will not suffer from natural aging .
Given that, the man can be two or three years older than he seems .
But that’s unlikely .
Because they don’t recognize me .
This proves that both of them are challengers who have only recently entered the tutorial .
“Yeah . Let’s head on first . I’ll explain it as we go . ”
While walking along the forest road, I get a detailed explanation from the woman .
The woman tells me her name is Lee Jin
I think it is a pseudonym, but she insists it’s her real name .
I didn’t tell her my name .
According to Lee Jin, this time the Tournament has lots more content than before .
As a result, the rewards has increased correspondingly and the duration has been increased to one month .
“First of all, if you want to enter the venue, you need to get there with two randomly assigned team members . ”
“Why increase the meaningless process?”
“I’m not sure, but many people in the community are saying that the content was prepared for players who have not experienced party play yet . ”
I heard the laughter from the man ahead .
This **** is starting to annoy me to no end .
You, one strike .
Disregarding him, there is something I don’t understand in Lee Jin’s words .
“Player?”
“Yeah . ”
I expressed doubts about the strange word, but Lee Jin says nothing .
Player?
She used the word so naturally, I’m embarrassed to ask again .
I take the chance to ask Kim MinHyuk instead .
[Lee HoJtae，50th floor: Hey, What’s a player?]
[Kim MinHyuk，30th floor: … Please . Why do you sound like an old man? That’s what people call challengers in the community . ]
Kim Minhyuk told me that people who challenge the stages are called players, while the challengers who stay in residential areas or specific stages are called NPC .
[Kim MinHyuk，30th floor: I’m really,really busy, Okay? If possible, ask the people around you about this kind of thing or wait till evening . Let’s meet tonight . I’ll give you a lesson on common sense . ]
A lesson on common sense?
That really does make me sound like an outdated old man .
[Kim MinHyuk，30th floor: Don’t you think so?]
Kim MinHyuk truthful message stabs my feelings so I close the dialog box .
Lee Jin probably likes to explain and educate others because she’s always talking about something .
In addition to the simple combat competition, the tournament has a variety of new content .
For example, you can try to complete the labyrinth within a limited time or tackle a Time Attack Stage as a party .
There are lots of activities .
“We can’t finish all the events in time . Everyone in the community says it’s best to challenge two or three events . ”
The Tournament this time has changed in many aspects .
If the previous tournament is like a colosseum, this one is more like a comprehensive amusement park .
I haven’t seen it with my own eyes yet, but I felt it from Lee Jin’s description .
“What do you want to challenge?”
“I don’t know . ”
My plan was to return to the stages after a few days without challenging anything .
Of course, this is no emergency .
I just don’t want to spend a month here wasting my time since the items and elixir rewards in the championship prize pool are useless to me .
I tell Lee Jin that I’m just going to meet some friends and take a few days off .
“Why? Just try one . This is the first time this has happened, who knows when we’ll have this chance again? Do it for the experience . I hear that some events aren’t dangerous . ”
After listening to Lee Jin’s words, the man walking in front says sarcastically .
“Hey, looks like he hasn’t been here long, just leave it . Since his equipment is all shiny, he may have found a patron among the top ranked players . I’ll handle it . ”
Erm… Let me think .
Is that a strike?
Then two strikes .
There’s still one count until a strikeout .
But I’m in a bad mood .
Okay, let’s think of it as a bean ball .
Note: A bean ball is when a pitcher throws the ball directly at the batter’s head .
[KEEEK!]
Then an ugly monster pops out in the middle of the forest .
The unusual creature looks like a combination between a dog and frog .
“Back off! I’ll handle it!”
After his roar, I stare at the man’s face as he draws his sword . .
The man turns to me and asks .
“Yes? Do you have any complaints?”
“Get down . ”
[keeek!]
The horrendous monster immediately falls to the ground .
It watches me from the ground, it seems quite intelligent .
Even if it could understand me through my skill, Time Before Babel, it’s honestly commendable that it can grasp the power gap between me and it .
In the face of a sudden situation, the flustered man sends alternating gazes at me and the monster .
This guy is even less intelligent than the monster .
It’s hard, but I say it again mercifully .
“What are you doing? Get down . ”
