Chapter 318: Surplus Man (7)
[ Kekek? Why are you doing this? ]
The fairy shuffled about in a daze.
Vikir looked down at the puzzled expression on its face, as if it really didn't understand.
'It's disgusting.'
Fairy are basically scamrs.
Not only does it try to live off the achievents of the participants in the survival competition in the tower, but it also often tries to steal their rewards.
The most common type is called "pingtang". It ans embezzlent.
If you're a newbie and you're not getting the rewards you deserve for completing a tough mission, it's almost always because these scamrs have done sothing along the way.
It is common for them to steal more than 5 out of 10 under the pretext of commissions and other things, and sotis they even boldly steal the entire reward.
The main pattern is to appear in front of the challenger, whose judgnt is impaired, imdiately after clearing a difficult mission, lure them in with a appropriate reward, and then disguise the real reward as scraps, scraps, by-products, or trash, remove it from the reward list, and retrieve it.
By rule, the fairy must show the challenger all of the rewards they have earned in full view of the challenger, so they can't hide them.
Therefore, the challenger must carefully consider everything one by one.
Any rewards that the challenger fails to pick out will naturally belong to the fairy.
'So, if you see an ultra-rare item like this, you will naturally try to steal it.'
Vikir grabbed the sack of candy from the fairy's hand and snatched it away.
[ ah ah ah ... ]
The fairy let out a frustrated whimper.
It will be like that.
For the sack Vikir now held in his hand was an extrely rare Hidden Piece, one that was rarely found in the tower, and even the fairies had no idea how to obtain it.
- /Exchange/S
Ultra-small bugs that live in the bodies of small creatures. Although it has the shape of a sack, it is actually the egg case of a parasite.
It does no harm to its host and feeds primarily on 'strange candy'. If it doesn't consu more than a certain amount of candy on a regular basis, it will die off naturally.
The amount of excretion is as large as the amount of food consud, and the excrent is said to have slightly different properties from the food consud.
-Candy Conversion (Special)
This creature eats 100 candies of the sa type and excretes 1 candy of a different color.
※The color of the excreted candy is random.
'...Pull out.'
Vikir ripped open the sack. Sure enough, there is a small parasite inside.
A small creature infected with this parasite has no health problems, but it does have one unusual ability.
It is the ability to eat candy and wrap candy.
For example, if Vikir feeds the parasite 100 red candies that increase its strength stat, the parasite will spit out a randomly colored candy.
It could be a golden candy that increases your level, a silver candy that increases your reflexes, a black candy that increases your physical resistance, a green candy that increases your agility, or a blue candy that increases your stamina.
In the latter part of the tower, you'll find a lot of strange candies, and if you use the worm correctly, you can even turn the most common red candy into the most valuable golden candy.
If you're lucky.
'... Before the regression, Camus got this.'
Before the regression, Camus was obsessed with getting white candy, which boosted her Magic Resistance stat, from all the candy she got from the Conversion Worms.
As a result, she had a ridiculous Magic Resistance stat, which allowed her to ignore Mana Surge and break through dangerous limits several tis.
'But that was also obtained at the end of the journey, on the lowest floor of the tower.'
Even Vikir himself hadn't realized he'd accomplished such a feat on the third floor.
Vikir turned his head to look back at the little madam perched on his shoulder.
"...It's hard enough to find a small animal you can trust, so I'm glad you're here. I would love to be the host, but my size makes it impossible, so do
a favor."
[hack-hack-hack-]
As Vikir stroked her, the little madam rubbed her cheek against his hand to show that she was happy.
Soon, a harmless parasite clung to her body. It settled under her chin.
She scratched at it for a while, but then forgot about it, as if it hadn't happened.
It seems to have no effect on the host, as the description says.
"I'll give you the stats I get in the future."
The little madam who will eat the stat candy will also grow rapidly.
Eating and excreting are two different things.
Vikir turned his head just in case, but the pile of candies behind him had already been collected.
When the fairy was deprived of the real reward, it seed like it was in a hurry to retrieve the rest.
Perhaps that was its entire fortune.
Still, there were a few candies still scattered about, as if it had been done in a hurry.
Vikir deliberately targeted them, kicking them as hard as he could.
"You should be grateful even if it's just a crumb."
Vikir picked up the candies, which were embedded in various parts of the Daylily's body.
The fact that the daylily's mouth had oddly shaped jagged teeth was a great help in this case.
Once he retrieved the candies that were stuck between his teeth, he had quite a collection.
15 red candies, 6 green candies, and 11 blue candies.
There were no golden candies.
Since they're so precious, it seems like they're the first to go.
...Poof!
Vikir pierced the Daylily's body with the sword of Beelzebub.
After a long climb through the popped eyeballs, he could finally see out through the hole in the back of the Daylily's flower.
When Vikir erged, covered in all sorts of nectar, there were gasps all around.
"Oh my God, you were alive!"
"We caught a cannibal flower! We caught an S-class monster!"
"And with a body weakened 100 tis!"
"What the hell is he doing, that guy...."
All the students of Colosseo Academy were shouting with joy.
However, none of them got close to Vikir.
The hound, who had just finished a bloody battle, hadn't quite gotten the hang of his vicious aura yet.
Only one.
"Vi, Vikir, use this ragged towel, I found it in the ruins! Ah, this is a scented oil, but you can use it to wash away dirt...."
Only Grenouille would co up to Vikir and tend to his needs.
But Vikir didn't mind the stares.
The first thing Vikir did when he stepped out of the Daylily was to grab two items.
