Min-hyeok’s current walkthrough video was not about clearing the 6th Floor.
—You’re probably disappointed that this isn’t a 6th Floor clearing video, right? Actually, this might be a more important video than that, so please don’t turn it off and watch a little longer.—
Saying that, he turned around.
A tree of massive size was situated there.
He placed his hand on the tree, which somehow felt refreshing just by looking at it, and began his explanation.
—This fellow is called the Healing Tree. It’s what you see when you reach the end of the 6th Floor. As you might have already noticed, this tree is essentially the reward for the 6th Floor.—
After introducing the 6th Floor reward right from the start, he began to reveal the things he had discovered in earnest.
á…³Actually, I put it that way, but the entire 6th Floor is practically a treasure warehouse. I will explain the reason starting now.á…³
As he spoke, he combined materials from the 1st Floor to the 5th Floor with the fruits and plants he had found on the 6th Floor.
─For bear meat, you have to combine this and this. It’s gross, isn’t it?─
It was a plant stem that wriggled like an octopus even though it had been cut.
On top of that, a liquid that looked terrifying just by looking at it was dripping from a strangely shaped fruit.
He grabbed them with his hands without hesitation and stuffed them into a Slime Bottle that contained finely sliced bear meat.
—Bear meat is tough, and perhaps because the creatures use a lot of Fighting Spirit, the Mana it contains is full of toxicity. Therefore, it must be properly subject to Aging. That’s why these gross things are necessary.─
The fruit, which was slightly acidic, would neutralize the toxicity of the bear meat, and the wriggling, high-vitality stems would amplify the effect of infusing vitality into the bear meat.
It was the same for other meats.
For some meats, he used exploding fruits to burn the outside and evaporate the toxicity, extracting only the inner meat.
Other meats were left to undergo Aging inside mushy plant juice.
However, there was a different protagonist in this video.
—Some of you might have noticed, but I plan to try strengthening the 1st Floor potions, which were incomplete, using the Healing Tree.—
When he turned around after saying that, Slime Bottles were lined up in a row.
Some had only roots, Some had only leaves, And some contained both leaves and roots together.
There was even a bottle full of only liquid, as if he had extracted the sap.
á…³To be honest, I don’t yet know which ones are effective or if they can be processed. Among these, some will be failures, and some will be successes. Additionally, there will be meats that require extra ingredients. Even if you use the same materials, the results will vary depending on the ratio.á…³
For a moment, he stopped talking and looked at the experimental meats and solutions surrounding the Bonfire.
á…³I won’t give you the answer. So, I recommend that you try the rest for yourselves.á…³
Saying that, he lifted the meat he had made and took a hearty bite.
—Mm… it’s delicious. For your information, if you clear it, you can go all the way to that beach over there. If you go there, there are clumps of salt rolling around; if you add that, you can gain additional options and eat delicious meat like this.—
He spoke with a smile as if giving a special bonus and stuffed all the remaining meat into his mouth.
—As you can see, this place can be a field of opportunity. You don’t necessarily have to achieve a Perfect Clear. Try exploring the jungle at least as much as you can. Perhaps you might obtain a special reward.—
Before anyone knew it, he took a bite of a unique fruit in one hand.
At that moment, a bluish energy was seen being sucked into his mouth.
Was that satisfying?
He looked around with a deep smile.
—The 6th Floor is a more beautiful place than you’d think. I hope you all will definitely enjoy this scenery together.—
As he spoke, he panned the camera to show the entirety of the 6th Floor, and then the screen gradually turned black as words appeared.
[You can do it too.]
The video ended completely with a message encouraging people to challenge themselves without fear.
Was it because most people had seen the video?
The comments section exploded.
á…³He’s basically saying don’t just greedily aim for specific materials, but actually try to clear it.á…³
L That fruit he ate at the end. Isn’t that something that raises Mana like an Inner Core?
L I think so too. It’s a similar reaction to when I ate an Inner Core.
L There’s a fruit on the 6th Floor with an effect similar to an Inner Core?
L What is that Healing Tree? If we have that, doesn’t it mean the Healing Herbs from the 30th Floor range won’t be needed anymore?
L It means the meats can get a second reinforcement too; what would the effects be?
L I’m curious about the potion effects. If it becomes possible to manufacture intermediate or high-grade potions, many people will stay on the 1st to 9th Floors for over a year and keep trying.
Um.
The aftermath of the video, which gave a huge shock to the low-floor hunters, was quite significant.
Perhaps because word had spread, articles about Min-hyeok’s walkthrough video began to appear one after another.
[Unnamed uncovers the secrets of the 6th Floor! Shocks the world once again…]
[Will the 6th Floor bring a revolution to the low-floor ecosystem?]
[Giant Guilds! Investing in 6th Floor Perfect Clear for the Healing Tree…]
[A point in time where large-scale support is needed for the 1st to 9th Floor walkthroughs on a national level…]
Most were saying that the 6th Floor must be cleared, but was that easy?
How could ordinary rookie hunters do what even an SS-class couldn’t?
─Honestly, it’s only possible because it’s Unnamed.─
L Exactly.
L Realistically, we could at least aim for the 2nd Floor if we put in the time, but after that, it’s hard.
L But is it necessary to do a Perfect Clear of the 6th Floor?
L True. As long as we can somehow get the fruit, we can experiment.
Seeing an idea someone had tossed out, someone must have put it into practice immediately, because before a day had passed, a piece of meat appeared on the Auction House.
[Rabbit Meat Marinated in Sticky Fruit]
[Description: Sweet meat. Eating it grilled feels like eating meat marinated in honey. However, because the completion level is low, it is slightly tough and the options are limited.]
[* (Fixed) Has a slight health recovery effect.]
[* (Random) Has a temporary resistance effect against low-grade poison.]
It was a simple effect, but because the taste itself wasn’t bad, everything that was posted sold out in an instant.
There isn’t much delicious food among the food in the Tower.
One could bring food made outside, but it would have a negative impact on the clearing rate.
Because of that, existing rabbit meat was already popular, but the rabbit meat posted this time had decent options, so it sold out instantly.
—Whoa! It all sold out in an instant. Originally, the rabbit meat I made had some toxicity left in it, but even though I just aged it roughly, the downsides disappeared and the effects became much better.—
When someone posted a verification shot of the Auction House sell-out along with a post, others began to challenge themselves by dipping their toes into the 6th Floor.
This was because avoiding the fruits thrown by monkeys and picking up a few to test was enough for the experimental effect.
As a result, a sudden rabbit meat craze blew through the Auction House, and price competition began.
Even if it was a minor option, if a slightly better effect was attached, it was repeatedly posted at a higher price like magic.
Perhaps because guilds had even begun purchasing it to study it as a unit, the price of just one hunk of meat began to exceed hundreds of thousands of won.
—At this rate, it’ll even be traded for a million won!—
L Other countries will probably be curious about that meat too, so it’ll go up more for a while, right?
L This is crazy!
L Level 9 hunters have really caught a break.
L I’m so jealous.
The price of low-floor meat had begun to form a bubble.
Perhaps to normalize this?
Unnamed posted one of his own meats on the Auction House.
[Auction Time: 06:00]
An auction ending in just 6 hours.
The type was the same rabbit meat.
However, even the name was a bit different from the existing rabbit meat.
[Magic-infused 2nd Floor Rabbit Meat Aged with 6th Floor Materials]
[Description: Meat marinated in fruit, it has a soft and clean taste without any gamey smell. Because it was seasoned with Mana Salt, the taste is also excellent.]
[* (Fixed) Mana and health recovery effects are granted.]
[* (Fixed) There is a slight wound recovery effect. The effect is amplified when taking a potion.]
[* (Random) Temporary vitality may occur in the body.]
[* (Random) One of Mana, Strength, Agility… increases.]
First of all, the traits were so different they couldn’t be compared.
Furthermore, the description stated the taste was also incomparably better than other rabbit meats.
Everyone’s jaw dropped at the options and taste descriptions, which might be showing the peak of low-floor meat.
Was it because they were curious about the taste?
Or was it because it was something Unnamed had posted?
The price rose like crazy.
—The money flexing has started again.ᅳ
L But even if I were rich, it’d be worth splurging on at least once. Just how did he make it for a description like that to come out?
L Right. If it were a high-ranking hunter, they’d probably splurge millions just out of curiosity.
L First of all, the options themselves are on a whole different level.
High-ranking hunters were already flocking only to Min-hyeok’s meat due to the gap that was embarrassing to compare with what others had posted.
Even though the transaction ended at several million won in an instant, rabbit meats were posted on the Auction House every time someone tested them.
The more they did, the more they just felt the wall and were frustrated by the rabbit meat Min-hyeok made.
—Just how on earth did he make that?─
L Setting the taste aside, the fact that it has four options is a wall in itself.
L Even the fixed options themselves are at an insane level.
L I flexed some money and experimented by buying up all the 6th Floor fruits currently on the Auction House, you know? It doesn’t work. It seems like there’s a specific ratio or something.
L This makes me feel competitive.
L I’m trying too. If I make it properly, I’ll make some money.
Since everyone felt that Aging rabbit meat was something worth trying, they started the challenge of Aging it in various ways using 6th Floor fruits.
Was it because so many people challenged it?
In less than a day, someone even succeeded in mimicking up to three options.
á…³Only three random options. Still, I feel a sense of accomplishment.á…³
L Great job!
L Congrats!
L Congrats! If you do just a bit more, you’ll get a decent option!
It was while everyone was congratulating them.
Unnamed posted a verification shot along with a comment on that post.
á…³Something made using only 2nd Floor materials.
[Magic-infused 2nd Floor Rabbit Meat]
[* Randomly applies medicinal effect. (Vitality)]
[* There is a slight Mana recovery effect.]
[* There is a slight health recovery effect.]
[* A synergy effect occurs when taking a health potion (containing Slime Mucus).]
The author of the post wailed at Unnamed’s kind explanation that simple things like four options could be made using only materials from the 1st and 2nd Floors.
While he was delivering despair to a rookie hunter like that, rookie hunters all over the world were feeling despair for other reasons.
[Italy: Practically giving up on 1st Floor Flawless Clear! Will focus on 1st Floor Perfect Clear and long-term cultivation]
[Australia: 1st Floor Flawless is only possible because it’s Unnamed. Converting to a long-term policy so that a second Unnamed can emerge in the future…]
[Brazil: Flawless Clear is only possible because it’s Unnamed. We will no longer place a burden on rookie hunters!]
Countries began to emerge one after another admitting that a Flawless Clear of the 1st Floor was close to impossible.
As countries giving up began to increase one by one, mocking posts appeared on Hunternet as if they knew this would happen.
á…³If what someone else does looks easy, that person is an Artisan.á…³
L In the first place, even if they succeeded in a 1st Floor Flawless Clear, they wouldn’t even be able to follow what Unnamed does.
L True.
L Now other countries have started to realize since they’re hitting a wall. That Unnamed is an irreplaceable existence.
L The more it’s like this, the better we have to protect him. Let’s cling to his pant legs so he can’t leave Korea!
L Unnamed-nim! If you come to the US, we’ll give you tax exemptions plus 1 trillion…
L If you come to China, we’ll give you a whole city!
L If you come to the neighboring country, Japan…
L Everyone get lost! He’s coming to our European Union!
It was already becoming an established fact on all the world’s Hunternet platforms that Unnamed had entered an irreplaceable territory.
And Min-hyeok, who watched this, made a resolution.
‘Until I reach the high floors, let’s hide my identity no matter what!’
