Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 21

Episode 21. good job

A large mansion located in Hannam-dong, Seoul late at night.

A group of people sat around a luxurious sofa located in the center of a large study room and talked.

Chairman Hong Sang-man, the owner of the mansion and the head of the Myung-jin group, is in the lead.

“Is this the document that Albert Albert sent me this time?”

“Yes.”

In response to Chairman Hong Sang-man’s question, Ahn Dong-young, chief of staff, said, pointing to the hot papers that arrived less than five minutes later.

“Chief Albert is in a lot of trouble. Make sure you take care of it enough. So that you don’t feel sad in any way.”

“Yes. We are especially concerned.”

It took less than five months to receive the first secret document sent by Albert, the head of the US branch of the Myungjin Group, by a handful of senior executives, including Chairman Hong Sang-man, who were close to him.

And when I checked the documents, everyone thought the same thing.

Albert, who was appointed as the head of the US branch, said he was crazy.

Or he misunderstood April Fool’s Day.

However, it has been more than 10 years since I joined Myungjin Group, and I knew the person and ability enough to send him to the US branch, which is the most representative and largest market, so the verification work began.

With the feeling of crossing a stone bridge, knocking on it.

Of course, it was almost impossible to confirm the movements of the American government and other groups representing the United States in their home country, the United States, but fortunately there was a way to confirm it from outside.

That’s because, according to the urgent papers sent by Governor Albert, they were moving around the world.

Of course, Korea is also the home of Chairman Hong Sang-man.

That said, looking for users who have only played one game.

So, Chairman Hong Sang-man secretly moved the group’s information room and started an investigation, and was able to catch it easily.

Scouts of the US intelligence service and groups representing the US.

And as soon as he confirmed that, Chairman Hong Sang-man made a decision.

According to the documents sent by Albert, it is already too late, and being late here means being thrown out of the race track.

No matter how absurd that is.

So, from that day on, Chairman Hong Sang-man created a secret department within the group.

He puts the most trustworthy person in charge.

In any case, Chairman Hong Sang-man picked up Albert’s documents less than five minutes after he arrived.

And he read each line carefully, and handed it to Ahn Dong-young, the chief of the secretary’s office.

After that, Ahn Dong-young, the chief of staff, Hong Ki-young, the first son and successor of Chairman Hong Sang-man, and Seok In-su, the head of the secret department, read the documents in turn.

“Quest…”

When everyone checked the documents sent by Albert, Chairman Hong Sang-man stroked his chin and opened his mouth.

There were many things written on the document, including other minor details, but the most important of them was about the quest.

He said that concentrating on the quest and securing the coin was the only way to reverse the situation that was lagging behind.

Director Seok In-soo immediately opened his mouth to the mention of Chairman Hong Sang-man’s quest.

Because it is his own responsibility.

“There are a fair number of quests within Revival Legend. And depending on each quest, the rewards are different. For example, it could be experience, it could be an item, or it could be a golden ring. However, there is one thing in common. That’s what the coin is. There are rumors that there are several thousand quests, but the 550 quests I checked were the maximum.”

“Exchange?”As soon as Director Seok In-soo finished speaking, Chairman Hong Sang-man immediately asked.

As I read the documents, exchangeability was the most important thing.

“Impossible.”

And the answer to that question leaked out of the mouth of Hong Ki-young, the eldest son of Chairman Hong Sang-man, not Seok In-soo.

Because I am also a member of the secret department headed by Director Seok In-soo and the leader of hundreds of members selected and selected by the Myungjin group.

“It’s impossible…”

Chairman Hong Sang-man raised his eyebrows slightly at Hong Ki-young’s comment that it was impossible.

Because exchange is impossible because it belongs to the individual, and it is ultimately the power of the individual, not the power of the group.

And at that time, Ki-Young Hong continued to speak as if he had not finished speaking.

“But I don’t think it’s necessary to make a conclusion. Because in the future, there may be ways to donate to the guild or organization to which you belong.”

“Yes. There are so many variables in this game, it seems like a hasty decision to make in advance.”

Ahn Dong-young, chief of staff, chirps at Hong Ki-young’s words.

At that sight, Chairman Hong Sang-man nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“great. Anyway, it doesn’t look like we’re going to lose money, so let’s set up one more action for the future. quest right away. When you receive a quest from all guild members, focus on solving the quest. If it’s hard on your own, even if you add strength.”

“Yes.”

“all right.”

In this way, we continued to discuss the documents sent by President Albert, led by Chairman Hong Sang-man.

next day.

I didn’t set the alarm on purpose while going to sleep last night.

As usual, I wake up at 7:30 and have a simple breakfast and log on to ‘Revival Legend’ because there is nothing to do.

So, after I was forced to rest, I decided to go to sleep.

There will be very few cases like this in the future.

That is why, when I woke up, I checked the table clock and it was pointing to 11 am.

I got up right away, went to the bathroom, washed quickly, and got ready to go out.

Yesterday, on the phone call, I decided to have lunch with my mom.

For dinner, the whole family, including her father and her older brother and sister, decided to go together.

I immediately washed up and went out of the studio to the nearby city bus stop.

Then, we took the now familiar city bus to the vicinity of the house in Cheongdam-dong, and took a taxi and got off in front of the house.

“son!”

And as soon as I got out of the taxi, someone was waiting for me in front of the magnificent gate.

it’s mom

“Why are you here?”

“It’s because my son is late.”

“that…”

The words that I slept too much never came out of my mouth.

“done. Let’s go in.”

“Huh.”

My relationship with my mother was good from the beginning.

Because she is not coercive like the mana of other chaebol families, and she always thinks from my point of view.

Anyway, she was led by her mother’s hand and went straight to the kitchen table.

The supper has already been prepared.

And there was an unexpected person.

right sister.

“uh. did you come go a little quicker Does this sister have to cook because of you?”

“How come it’s the weekend and you don’t have a date today?”

Even when I was in school, my sister was always busy.

Especially on weekends.

And at my words, my sister put one leg on top of the other, lifted her head, and opened her mouth as if recalling the past.

“Kuh. Those days were good. It’s time to meet this guy and that guy without any worries.”

slap.

“Ouch!”

“You have nothing you can’t say!”

“No, you are right. As the daughter of a chaebol family, she has such a flowery beauty, so it’s no wonder she’s popular. To do that, she at least made me look less pretty. How tired I am because she gave birth so beautifully.”

Knowing her sister’s personality in the first place, she didn’t respond, but after washing her hands, sat down at her seat.

And she had lunch with her mom and sister after a long time.

talking about this and that

“What about your father and brother?”

“company.”

“Even on the weekend?”

“uh.”

“I am busy.”

“Ugh. don’t talk I can’t even remember the last time this older sister went on a date.”

“To your sister?”

“of course. This older sister is beautiful, but she has a lot of talent.”

“what…”

I didn’t really respond to my sister’s words.

Because it’s true.

After having a friendly lunch in my own way, I went to my room, which was still being cleaned.

I have something to prepare in advance.

It’s the 3rd generation, and it’s a high-end virtual reality connector.

smart.

Then there was a knock on the open door from behind.

with my sister’s voice.

“Do you play games?”

“……”

Of course, the scope of application of virtual reality is limitless.

Education, video, telephony, conferencing, medical care, business, etc. To the extent that it is easier to find unused fields.

But the biggest use of them is still games.

“uh.”

answered cautiously.

Because I’m a little shy about going out of the house as a game.

Moreover, even more so for the older sister who threatened her father instead of threatening me with a barricade for me.

“what game?”

But the older sister asked in a voice that didn’t care at all.

“Revival Legend.”

“Revival Legend?”

“Huh.”

“Occupation and level?”

As far as I know, my sister didn’t play games or anything like that.

However, since the profession and level were mentioned naturally in her mouth, she straightened her posture and opened her mouth.

“Ice-based wizards and level 100.”

“Hmm. It’s level 100 for an ice magician. Two or three weeks? That must have taken Oh, if I had done it alone without any support, it would have taken a month and a little longer.”

“Well… just about that.”

5 days.

No, more precisely, it took four days and eleven hours.

However, I didn’t feel the need to correct it, so I was a little ignorant of my sister’s words and moved on.

“Good job.”

“what?”

Even after entering Seoul National University, I didn’t want to show my mother that I was playing games on the subject of not returning to school.

But she told me because she was my sister.

Because I still had the image of my older sister poking her hair out for me with a barricade in my mind.

But she never thought that her sister would tell me that she was good at playing the game, so she had no choice but to ask a big question.

“Well done. Especially, Revival Legend was chosen among many games. Send a message to your sister. ID and where are you now?”

“?”

For a moment, she couldn’t take her sister’s words properly.

As if she was reflected in the sense that her sister also plays the game.

But after saying that, the older sister turned her body and walked away.

As if her own errands were over.
