Pick Me Up! Novel Chapter 240.1: Stop Playing So Much (1) (1)

The matter with El Cid was now over.

Of course, a few questions still remained.

First, why El Cid had tried to go to Server 1. This wasn’t too hard to deduce. During the process of clearing Dorado’s scenario, he beca dissatisfied with the ga developers and decided to take matters into his own hands.

‘Dissatisfaction...’

I recalled the contents of the Book. From the 50th floor, where El Cid had fallen into the ga, up to the 80th floor, where he was called a king, the text and illustrations were well-docunted.

The problem lay beyond that.

‘The final story is likely a fabrication.’

The story awkwardly appended at the end of the book depicted El Cid saving Dorado, becoming its king, and then setting off on another adventure. The true history of Dorado was probably written on the pages where the ink had smudged, making it unreadable.

‘There must have been issues after the 80th floor.’

The fragnt series truly began to erge after the 80th floor. It seed the scenario had diverged drastically from El Cid’s expectations at that point.

Judging by how El Cid devoured his subordinates, it’s evident that they couldn’t return ho even after reaching the top of the tower.

‘.......’

This is becoming quite a headache.

There are too many questions. Why didn’t El Cid fuse with the sub-master and instead fall into Dorado as a one-star hero? What did he see at the end of his mission? And why did he recklessly confront , even though it was akin to suicide?

‘Would he rather hand over his legacy to

than die at the hands of an unworthy master?’

It’s too late to ask now.

I decided to set these questions aside. No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t co up with any answers.

Ultimately, the answers would only beco clear if I ascended the tower to the very top.

In any case, The Book of Reversal, which was both the final raid reward and the key material for a seven-star promotion, was now in Anytng’s possession.

However, with Iselle’s manipulation of the log, Anytng might not even know she has it.

If The Book of Rebersal were usable, I would have handed it to one of the mbers of Niflheimr’s first party, but right now, it’s nothing more than a decoration.

For now, I decided to keep it. I might need it later.

After Wiryung and I returned to Townia, we were given another long period of rest.

Passing through the 50th floor had caused significant losses. Edis and other elite heroes had died, and most of the airship fleet had been damaged or destroyed. It would take quite so ti to regain our original strength.

So, I’m spending a rare vacation.

Well, it’s more of a personal training ti than an actual vacation.

Due to all the recent work, I’ve neglected my training, so I needed to catch up.

‘Let’s keep ?? Nоvеl??g??t ?? (Official version) an eye on the surroundings too.’

As I sucked on the straw, a refreshing liquid slid down my throat. It was a special energy drink made by a Townia-affiliated pharmacist, designed to enhance training efficiency.

As I moved my feet on the pedals, two wheels spun wildly. This was a new piece of training equipnt that Anytng had placed in the training room on the 4th floor. Jenna had jumped in surprise at such a novelty, but I was already bored of seeing this sort of thing on Earth.

It was an exercise bike.

The carpenter at the equipnt workshop made the body based on Anytng’s blueprint, and Katiio made the power engine. Though it looked clumsy, it was actually quite well-made. If you added a weight of about 50 kg, it was effective for training.

I pedaled while occasionally sipping my drink, a towel around my neck.

With my left hand on the handle, I used my right hand to touch a holographic screen.

[MyuTube??]

[Pick

Up’s Master, ‘Anytng’s Channel]

[Subscribers: 13,253]

Since surpassing the 50th floor, one of the benefits has been the increased amount of ti I could spend online. Moreover, I no longer needed to hear Iselle’s “Fairy Power” chant to access sites.

‘The subscriber count has increased.’

I scrolled down.

A video titled “Townia, 50th Floor” has been uploaded under the latest uploads. The view count had reached 320,000, easily surpassing that of any famous BJ.

I clicked on the video and browsed through the comnts.

Great video ^^

The scale of this stage is enormous!

Thumbs up! Looking forward to the 55th floor!

Why does the fragnt series start from the 50th floor here? Isn’t that a bugged account? As far as I know, they only appear after the 80th floor.

At first, I thought you were just catching a ride, but it seems like Anytng’s skills are improving rapidly. The more I see Han, the stronger he gets! Isn’t he almost at the level of Seris now?

Ha, seriously, this ga is so luck-dependent.

Everyone else has good heroes, and I’ve got nothing!

So, Anytng, are you going to apologize for massacring the Silver Star Guild?

The comnts were different from before. Up to the 30th floor, half of them were complaints about Anytng being a “bus rider,” but now, there were hardly any such remarks. At most, a few people were criticizing the Silver Star Guild incident.

‘Anytng has improved a lot too.’

At least she doesn’t just sit back and watch anymore.

On the 50th floor, she had helped reorganize the fleet’s formation, supplied items, and warned us of dangers—various small but crucial contributions.

Compared to the old Anytng, it was like night and day.

She had evolved from a re freeloader to a master who could handle more than her fair share.

It was a dramatic transformation, akin to an ant evolving into a Brachiosaurus.

‘Her playstyle has changed too.’

I looked up.

Even though it was nearly dawn in Earth ti, Anytng still hadn’t logged off. She was diligently handling tasks in the waiting room. Her average online ti had more than doubled.

If it were just for a day or two, I’d let it slide, but this has been going on for nearly a month.

And if that weren’t enough, she’s been spending nearly 100,000 won every few days on gems.

‘A light free-to-play user... has turned into a hardcore addict.’

If you add up Anytng’s spending, it’s easily surpassed a million won by now. Although there’s so inco from MyuTube, the personal expenses must be considerable.

‘She’s becoming a seasoned player.’

According to Iselle’s report, Anytng has started sharing Pick

Up tips with her MyuTube subscribers. The content has also changed. She no longer shares useless tips like “Give a military horse statue to your favorite hero, and they’ll carry you.”

Now, she seems to have learned how to manage her heroes to so extent.

Right after clearing the 50th floor, Anytng awarded rewards to the main combat units. For Kishasha, it was premium-grade beef, for Velkist, a training outfit, for Katiio, a neck pillow for rest during endless overti, and for Jenna, a hunting bow. Lastly, for ...

‘Why is it still a military horse statue for ?’

There seems to be a problem.
