Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 156

156. New hunting grounds (1).

There is a saying that drinking water alone will make you fat.

There is a saying that goes one step further and you gain weight just by breathing.

And, of course, they must be lies.

If you gain weight by drinking only water and breathing, your stomach will burst and die in a short time.

However, when I changed ‘flesh’ to ‘strength’, it seemed to fit the word.

In other words, it was still level 1000.

Compared to that time, not even one level had risen.

But it got very strong.

1800 intellect and 1800 stamina, plus 900 mental strength is not something that can be taken lightly.

In other words, it is like drinking water and breathing only to become stronger.

that was me now

Of course, it is true that the 5-reinforced Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword was upgraded to 6-strength also had a significant effect on my strength. Because it was possible to the end of the reinforcement beyond that, it was clearly in the realm of drinking and breathing.

anyway.

Those attacks were ticklish.

Anyway, the hunt continued until 9:50.

Myungjin Guild Headquarters.

It was not a place to show up late as if it were the main character, so he showed up before the promised 10 o’clock.

While playing this ‘Revival Legend’ to her mom, she was even told to get there early, something no one had ever heard of.

Of course, everyone was already seated there.

It’s obviously not late, but it’s a situation that can only be embarrassed.

But no one gave me the slightest notice.

Except for my mother.

Still, she didn’t do anything more than her mom, knowing that within ‘Revival Legend’ you shouldn’t pretend to know me.

Somehow she sat up to me and her dad opened her mouth to see if she had talked enough beforehand.

“Then we’re all gathered, so let’s move on.”

“all right.”

“We are already ready.”

To the father’s words, future president Yeon Jung-hwan and the Tugal Guild’s Tamir guild leader immediately responded, and it was decided to move.

And, of course, my father decided to lead this advance squad, and there was no objection to it from the Future Guild and the Tugal Guild.

Because they didn’t show anything in the previous quest for them to have a say.

Of course, it was the same for the Myungjin guild except for me, but it wasn’t a big problem.

Because I belonged to Myungjin.Anyway, like everyone else, I took a key out of my inventory and opened my mouth softly.

“Use the key to the new hunting ground.”

[I used the key to the new hunting ground.

-Move to a new hunting ground.]

I felt like I was being taken somewhere with that message, and soon a new sight appeared in my sight.

The moment when 20 people, including Hong Jooyoung, used the key to the new hunting ground.

Immediately, a message rang in all areas, not just Korea, Japan, and Mongolia.

[An excellent expedition has discovered a new hunting ground.

-After 30 days, a higher level hunting ground will be revealed in all areas.

– In the newly revealed hunting ground, all monsters will drop more experience and golden rings than before.

Other new items and crafted items appear and drop coins with a low probability.

However, if you die in the new hunting ground, you have a different death penalty than before.

: The cooldown for reconnecting after death is increased from 1 day to 7 days.

: Upon death, a slight decrease in experience is changed to a large amount of experience loss.

: Every time you die, a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 10 stat points drop randomly.

Randomly dropped stat points are not permanently restored.

If the stat points of the initial connection state of 10 Strength, 10 Stamina, 10 Agility, 10 Spirit, and 10 Intellect fall to the stat point of the initial connection state, you will be permanently unable to access ‘Revival Legend’.]

A message to the world.

Some cheered the message, while others were concerned and worried.

It was also an opportunity to acquire a coin that would not change even if it was given a billion dollars by hunting monsters, but conversely, the death penalty that was almost nonexistent increased tremendously.

In particular, the permanent drop in stat points greatly fueled the worries and concerns.

No matter how flashy and good the items and skills are, it is stat points that support them, and after all, if the stat points are low, there is no idiot who doesn’t know that it is a light apricot.

Anyway, while joy and worry crossed, everyone had the same question.

Such a question as to who the outstanding expeditionary force mentioned in that message is.

Of course, the question was resolved faster than expected.

Because there were not only two people who watched the expedition, including the Mitsuya Guild of Japan.

questionable space.

It was literally a questionable space.

Instead, there were four huge signs in front of the mysterious space and a gate that moved them to another space that appeared in many other games and sci-fi movies at once.

“…simple.”

“So.”

It was not difficult to grasp the situation according to the words that were flowing around.

The sign in front of each gate had the following words written on it.

[1300][1400][1500][????]

Just looking at it, it means a hunting ground of 1300, 1400, and 1500 levels.

And the message that rang as soon as we arrived here was enough to know it.

“It is said that the message that rang out for us also rang out.”

“Unlike us, who have the key to a new hunting ground instead, they say that it will only be revealed after 30 days.”

“It seems that the message below resonated only with us.”

Those located here were the top executives, including Myeongjin and the future guild leader of the Tugal Guild.

So, a lot of information came in quickly.

Then, Dad nodded at the information and looked towards the message that only rang to 20 people here, and I turned to that as well.

[Congratulations.

– Found a new hunting ground faster than anyone else.

As a reward, you can use the new hunting ground 30 days in advance by using the key to the new hunting ground.

In addition, 20 people with the key will receive the following buffs for a month.

: Doubles the amount of Golden Rings obtained for one month.

: The item acquisition rate is doubled for one month.

: Coin gain is doubled for one month.]

A limited buff given only to 20 people located here.

Others don’t know about it, but I felt a little disappointed.

I have golden rings, items, and coins, but I didn’t have any experience points.

But unlike me, everyone’s interests seemed to lie elsewhere.

“Hmm. It is definitely nice to have this buff and preempt a new hunting ground 30 days in advance…”

“The death penalty is not that great.”

“So. Even if one of them dies…”

Obviously, the death penalty was even stronger.

No, it was not a level, but an enormous increase.

That’s why everyone was busy moving except me.

After a while.

“There are 1 healer and 0 supporters.”

“The other 7 who can be classified as tanks, the other 12 are all dealers.”

“……”

Of course, healers and supporters cannot be said to be mainstream.

In particular, the healer and the supporter were not in the field of choice for the guild leader and direct line of each guild for the sole reason that they could not receive the spotlight because they left everything else.

That’s why there was 1 healer and 0 supporters.

There were 7 other tanks and 12 dealers.

And for a normal 20-person party, it wasn’t a party that could be said to have a good balance.

Because if you’re dealing with a weak monster, 1 healer and 0 supporters can do that, but if you do that, 7 tanks is bound to be a very large number.

Conversely, when dealing with powerful monsters, 1 healer and 0 supporters are the worst.

However, the problem was that the hunting grounds of the minimum level available here were powerful monsters as they were at level 1300.

Then, one by one, the eyes gathered towards me.

Obviously, I am the best tanker and the best dealer who can beat drums alone enough to not need healers and supporters.

First of all, there was no reaction to those gazes.

Then he nodded his head slightly.

Because at this party, my mother was there after my father, older brother, older sister, and Seok In-soo, the head of the department.

No matter how much experience the party lost, he did not intend to abandon the whole family.

Moreover, out of the 20, there were 14 Myungjin including myself.

In the end, most of the profits from this party have no choice but to go to Myung-jin.

So, I decided that it would be better to move together in consideration of the overall situation and benefits.

So he nodded his head.

And the atmosphere was revived by my actions like that.

It’s okay to say these things out of my mouth, but just having my presence on the same side can inevitably raise my morale.

“great. Then, exactly 10 minutes later, I will enter the level 1300 hunting ground. And for the sake of speedy delivery and command, I will use the word of command.”

“Yes!”

“all right.”

To my father’s words, not only Myungjin, but also Mirae and the Tugal Guild answered directly without hesitation.

There is a clear possibility that there will be numerous monsters as soon as you move right away.

And in the meantime, I tried to whisper to my mother.

[lumen: Mom, be careful. And in case of an emergency, he’s always behind me.][Two sons and one daughter: Will her son protect her?][lumen: …uh.]

Tried pretending to be cool for my mom a second time.

The first was shown when I entered Seoul National University as a senior, but in the end I failed.

So she was determined not to fail this time.

10 minutes later.

“Everyone enters the 1300 level hunting ground.”

“Yes.”

First of all, my mother, the only healer, stood at the back, and 11 dealers stood in front of it.

And in front of the 11 dealers, 7 tanks were seated, and I was alone in the front.

No matter what the situation, I am the one who will accept it without any difficulty.Anyway, I set my feet first on the 1300 level gate.

woah ah ah.

Suddenly, a bright light hit me, and my vision was blocked, so I focused all my attention on the front.

Because there might be a monster running away.

But that didn’t happen.

Instead the message greeted us, not me.

[You have entered the 1300 level hunting ground for the first time.

-As a reward, all stat points increase by 100.][There is a bonus event by entering the 1300 level hunting ground for the first time.

-When defeating a boss monster, 100 remaining stat points are given to everyone who inflicts even 1 damage on the way.]

“Five!”

“Wow!”

“If all 100 stat points are 500, a total of 500…”

“Only because of the reason you entered!”

Of course, the desired stat points for each type are bound to be different.

For example, the melee dealer has strength, the ranged dealer has agility, the wizard type has intelligence, and the tank has stamina, etc.

So it would have been better if they gave me 500 remaining stat points, but it’s free anyway.

And although it may be useless to you, it was absolutely no harm if it was high.

Especially when it comes to physical and mental strength.

Moreover, it still remained.

what?

That’s the 1400 and 1500 level hunting grounds.

That’s why.

“Everyone gets out of this place!”

“Yes!”

“all right!”

There is no need to postpone it until later.

What’s more, if you put it on right now, it will be helpful for hunting later.

So my father’s order to retreat was given, and everyone answered with one voice.

After that, I immediately entered the 1400, 1500 level hunting ground, and I heard the same message I heard when entering the 1300 level hunting ground there.

In other words, all stat points have already increased by 300.

“Kukk.”

“I didn’t do anything, but it’s already 1500! 1500!”

Of course, the atmosphere was very good.

Because what I’ve acquired now isn’t enough, I’ve gained a lot.

Then he turned his gaze to the gate on the far right.

[????]

The gate was made up of question marks, unlike the ones with numbers clearly written on it.

However, when entering the [1300], [1400], and [1500] gates, he realized that the safety zone was set like other hunting grounds, so one tanker stepped into it.

However.

puck.

He could not even enter the gate and was thrown away.

And it wasn’t just him.

puck. puck. puck.

Everyone who tried was thrown away like the first tank.

After a while.

“No messages were ringing.”

“There was a strong reaction, as if they were not going to allow entry.”

As the level was not written on it, it seemed that there was something restricting access.

However.

bum bum.
