The Support Ate it All-Chapter 465 - 10th Week ×1.5 (2)

The lower floors of the dungeon building were teeming with students.

Everyone had jumped straight into raids from day one, eager to make the most of the 1.5× drop rate boost.

A long line stretched out in front of the elevators, while the impatient ones chose to take the spiral staircase instead.

The others watched curiously.

“Ah~”

“So that’s how it works. Got it.”

I then added four more random boxes, bringing the Glutton Points to 500.

Afterward, I looked around at the group and asked,

“Shall we head straight down? If you need more time, let me know.”

“I’m ready.”

“M-Me too…”

Go Hyeon-woo and Hong Yeon-hwa each gave a quick response, and Seo Ye-in gave a small nod.

So I nodded as well and stepped forward onto the spiral staircase.

“Alright. Let’s move.”

Currently, we were only authorized up to Floor E. To go lower, we’d have to sneak in.

Of course, I’d already arranged things in advance.

When we reached the bottom of Floor E, Shin Byeong-cheol, who had been waiting, gave us an exaggerated bow.

“Well, well, you’ve arrived.”

“Are the ‘items’ ready?”

“Hehe, I’ve prepared something top-notch today, just for you.”

Shin Byeong-cheol gave a sly grin.

Then, he slowly extended his tightly clenched fist toward me.

As I held my hand underneath, he loosened his grip, and the “items” dropped into my palm.

They were four anonymous badges.

A type of recognition-disrupting item that makes the wearer’s appearance seem completely ordinary.

Shin Byeong-cheol asked casually,

“You sure you don’t need a guide?”

“We’re going on our own today.”

Even now, students were going up and down the spiral staircase in large numbers.

If we put on the anonymous badges and blended into the crowd, it wouldn’t be hard to reach Floor C.

In fact, it was even less risky than going down late at night.

Shin Byeong-cheol clearly understood that but still looked disappointed at the loss of work.

“Well, can’t be helped.”

“Next time. Here, take this.”

As payment for borrowing the anonymous badges, I handed him the last E-rank random box I’d held onto.

At that, Shin Byeong-cheol rubbed his hands together in a pathetic display.

“Hey, hyungnim, how about just one more? Couldn’t you spare it?”

“Mr. Shin Byeong-cheol, think about everything you’ve taken from us so far.”

“…Ahem.”

Unable to argue, Shin Byeong-cheol let out a forced cough.

Then his expression turned desperate.

“Come on, cut me a break. I’m totally broke right now.”

“Weren’t you rich?”

“I blew it all in the tournament. No—! I went all in on Namgoong-senior, and then—!”

Come to think of it, the top candidate to win the tournament had been Namgoong Chang-cheon.

He lost to Song Cheon-gi by the slimmest margin. It was barely a sheet of paper between them.

I understood the situation now, but that didn’t mean I suddenly felt sympathy.

“So basically, you blew all your money on gambling.”

“Ahem! No need to put it quite so bluntly…”

“And now you’re asking us for a bonus? I’d call that inappropriate behavior.”

“Mm, honestly, you’re right. I admit it.”

Go Hyeon-woo joined in with a gentle smile.

“I still remember the business plan you once mentioned. With your skill, I believe you’ll bounce back in no time.”

“You get it! You’re truly my friend.”

“But still, it’s best to keep betting to a moderate level.” 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

“Ahem… Noted.”

Shin Byeong-cheol reaffirmed his resolve.

Whether he would end up opening a small teahouse in some corner of town or become the owner of a massive coffee franchise with dozens of shops remained to be seen.

Soon after, we each put on an anonymous badge and stepped onto Floor D.

From this point on, all the students we passed were upperclassmen, but none of them paid us any attention.

There were simply too many people, and everyone was too focused on their own progress.

Thanks to that, we made our way down to Floor C without any trouble and arrived at our destination.

Then, as if on cue, all of us turned to look at the teleportation portal.
