The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 233:
Chapter 233 . 1 - Tutorial 55th Floor (2)
***
Editor: Tide
[You have cleared the 55th floor . ]
I had cleared the 55th floor in the Hell’s Difficulty level .
[All abnormalities and injuries have been recovered]
[You have earned 10000 points as a clear reward]
[You have earned 10000 points as the first clear reward]
[There are many gods who responded positively towards you . You have earned 84,000 points]
[There are many gods who responded negatively towards you . 11,000 points will be deducted . ]
[You have earned 3,300 points as compensation . ]
“Hmm…”
[See, it’s real . ]
The jewels were genuine, and as soon as I returned to the castle with them, Sung-Joo accepted them . It was an incredibly easy ending .
“If you don’t have any other plans, why don’t you take a few days off and stay at the castle?” said Sung-Joo .
As soon as Sung-Joo accepted the blue jewel, his face twisted with tears that wouldn’t stop pouring out .
The 55th floor’s mission was to find jewelry materials for treating the cursed spirit . And the old man, Sung-Joo, who repeatedly blew his nose in front of me, was the father of said spirit, the lord of this region .
Sung-Joo, who had begun to act unnecessarily clingy, kept saying that it was too late to go anywhere and that he wished to repay me in any way possible .
His attitude was abnormal and made me increasingly exasperated . His eagerness to keep me at the castle was certainly questionable .
“Fine, I won’t go anywhere . ” I’d given up .
With my compliance, Sung-Joo was thrilled enough to do a somersault .
He really was a burden .
It was late today, and I was tired of getting jewelry, so I told Sung-Joo that we’d talk again tomorrow .
I was led to the room by a servant of the lord .
It was only after the servant left that I escaped, to explore the castle .
In the past, I’d always went straight to the dungeon, so I never had time to look around the castle properly .
Along the spacious corridor were various artworks including paintings and sculptures .
Even in the evening, bright lights shone throughout the hall, so there was no shortage of exhibits .
One could easily tell how luxurious the castle was just by looking at the exotic, textured carpet and high ceilings .
But what caught my eye more than that was the night view .
The castle was home to countless buildings reminiscent of skyscrapers on Earth, each of which was decorated with bright lights and decorations .
The scenery from the top of such tall buildings was gorgeous . Standing atop the tallest tower in Seongju, one could see the entirety of downtown .
I opened the window, stuck my head out, and looked down . I could see that this building was only about 20 stories high .
If we can develop science and magic together, the result could be similar to modern cities like this .
I’ve seen many wonderful panoramas while clearing stages, but the problem was that I was never able to appreciate it properly .
I’m a little disappointed to think that I’ve been too focused on clearing floors and ignored these wonderful sights .

“Where is the bathroom?” I asked .
“Do you need guidance?” a servant gently responded .
“No… Never mind . ”
I refused the servant and began to look around the room once more . The room was so humongous that just calling it a room didn’t do it justice . It would take some time to look around the room .
I walked around, confirming the location of the bathroom and the kitchen, and went to lie down on the huge, soft bed .
When I did so, the strength in my body drained away .
Soon after, I felt a sense of refreshment, and it was as if my head suddenly cleared up .
“Ahbooboo . It’s magic, isn’t it?”
[Yes, it’s all on the bed . They’re too clever, actually managing to fit magic in a bed . It’s great . ]
I can’t believe they have a magic bed to relieve a user . It was quite an unexpected luxury . I don’t think they’d sell this kind of bed in the in-game store, so couldn’t I just steal one of these?
As I was thinking, Seregia, who had been quiet, called out to me .
[Warrior . ]
“Yes?”
I often talked to Ahbooboobu or KiriKiri, but Seregia never spoke to me first, so I answered immediately .
[Won’t you go to the next location? The portal has already been created . ] Seregia nagged .
I put the armor I was wearing in my inventory and changed into more comfortable clothes .
The spirit sword, which is usually at my waist, was also pushed to the edge of the bed .
“I’m going to get some rest . ”
[What?]
I’ve already cleared the 55th-floor, and I’m thinking of taking a few days off here . I really needed a break, but I’m still concerned about Kirikiri’s words .
And if I’m going to rest, I want to rest in a lively place like this, not in a solitary waiting room .
I heard that there would be some servants who would come to take care of me tomorrow morning .
I want to learn a little more about this place, which has high standards of living and uses technical skills, like magic .
Challengers who have cleared the tutorial are moving to Earth one by one . It was inevitable that magic would spread to Earth through challengers .
That’s what I explained to Seregia .
[Okay . ] Seregia replied in a stiff tone .
After Ahbooboo’s blade repair plan failed, it became harder to see him as the person who once monopolized the main position in his party .
I laid in bed, rubbing my chin while thinking .
Come to think of it, I’d often told myself I wanted to know more about cultures on different floors . I’d often thought I should spend more time at each level, appreciating their unique culture . But I’d never actually been interested in their culture . It was just an excuse to take a break, as I was obsessively pushing myself .
For the first time, I felt a genuine interest in the culture of this floor . I was curious and asked Kim Min-hyuk to collect more information if he could . Above all, I felt that I really needed a break .
Heading on to the next floor immediately didn’t seem like the right step in this case .
