Chapter 372: Eighty-Sixth Floor, Waiting Room (1)
[47 hours 42 minutes until the rest period ends. Please take a rest.]
The message came through just as I was halfway up from the spring, about to begin my training. At the sound of the notification, I sank back down into the water.
- Ha Hee-Jeong (Eighty-seventh Floor): Hey! You should’ve messaged me when you got back. Why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t even notice since I was busy training.
I had figured that since I had spent a decent amount of time on the eighty-fifth floor, a proper conversation with Ha Hee-Jeong would take at least ten minutes.
Of course, I could technically talk while getting ready, but I preferred to focus solely on the conversation.
- Kwon Su-Hyeok (Eighty-sixth Floor): I thought you could be sleeping. You usually message first, anyway.
- Ha Hee-Jeong (Eighty-seventh Floor): Still! You should’ve reached out first. You were stuck on the eighty-fifth floor for days.
- Kwon Su-Hyeok (Eighty-sixth Floor): Alright, alright. I’ll message right away next time.
After sending the reply, I glanced over at Doppy. “Doppy, keep going on your own just a bit longer. I’ll be there soon.”
“No rush! Ryun’s teaching me well!” Doppy, who had been swinging his sword, responded enthusiastically. I nodded, then turned back to read the newest message.
- Ha Hee-Jeong (Eighty-seventh Floor): Nothing bad happened, right? Was it just a really long trial?
- Kwon Su-Hyeok (Eighty-sixth Floor): Yeah. No combat or anything. It was just a week-long ordeal. How was the eighty-sixth floor for you?
