Chapter 43: Eleventh Floor, Two Doors (1)
The Community.
[Is it true that Zone 1 provided everything for free?]
[Yeah, for real. Each cafeteria item costs 1 point. I trembled buying even a single beer.]
[(Breaking News) Climbers in the lowest rung of the leaderboard had to pay 10 points for lodging lol.]
[That's why some people even ended up sleeping in the hallway 😂.]
[Do you guys not have achievement points? What's the big deal about 1, or even 10 points?]
The Community was ablaze as usual, although this time the conversation was centered around the difference between the tenth floor’s zones.
Ha Hee-Jeong had been right about the treatment of climbers in other zones. Climbers in the bottom section of the leaderboard had to pay 1 point for food and 10 points for lodging. That doesn’t seem like much at first glance, but it was a different story when you accounted for the sheer number of climbers.
A hundred thousand people spending 1 point on food meant 100,000 points that could have been used to strengthen the climbers instead. And to think the only difference was a petty ranking on a leaderboard.
