Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 48

Episode 48. Seems worth more than I thought.

[Undigested mineral chunks of stone squirrels. (rare, material item)

– Stone squirrels usually eat stones.

For this reason, they prefer rocky or rocky areas as their main habitat.

And since it is a stone squirrel who is very greedy and has a quick temper, there are cases where various undigested minerals accumulate in the body by eating the trace minerals contained in the stone while eating it.

Moreover, the various minerals accumulated in the body with the secretions unique to the stone squirrel that digest stones are gathered together as if they were originally one.

That is the undigested mineral mass of the stone squirrel.]

“Hmm.”

I thought it was a stone, but it wasn’t a stone.

It is just an aggregation of several small minerals contained in a stone.

That’s why it was definitely heavier than a stone.

chin. chin.

I grabbed the lump of mineral in one hand and threw it and received it a few times.

And he opened his mouth low.

“It doesn’t seem like such a valuable material item from the description alone… but it’s rare.”

Even if it was not a legend, it would have been understandable to some extent that the members of the Gahwa Guild sang for joy.

but rare.

It’s better than normal, but to be honest, the rare didn’t belong to that good level.

To say that you’ve got some useful equipment, you have to match at least a rare level.

“By the way, when I saw this lump of mineral, I really liked it. Is there something?”

I had a strong feeling that there was definitely something I didn’t know.

And around this time, I started to understand the behavior of the Gahwa Guild.

Obviously, what they wanted wasn’t a toll, but this stone squirrel’s undigested mineral mass.

So, I wondered if I was paying an excessive toll on purpose.

to chase away

So, to make sure no one visits this place.

Of course it’s a guess, but somehow this seemed like the right answer.

“great. After all, this mineral mass is your Achilles heel.”

First, I picked up the undigested mineral chunks of the remaining four stone squirrels and put them in my inventory.

Obviously I don’t know its usefulness, but it’s definitely an item that will be worth the price.

and moved quickly.

There must be many members of the Gahwa Guild still hunting in here.

The guild leader of the Gahwa Guild, Kang Seok-tae, had a leisurely lunch and logged into the game as usual.

And as soon as he logged in, he could see that the guild chat window was very active, unlike usual.

So, with some curiosity, he posted on the guild chat room.

[BOSS Kang (Guild Leader): What’s going on? Why are you so noisy?]

Kang Seok-tae in his mid-30s.

Of course, he’s not young, but he’s not that old either.

However, Kang Seok-tae treated all the guild members equally, regardless of his age and youth.

If he didn’t like it, he didn’t accept him as a guild member in the first place.

And Kang Seok-tae himself thought it was okay.

because money.

In a world where money can control ghosts, it was very easy to control users in virtual reality who are not real people.

To that extent, Kang Seok-tae thought that he was a lucky man who caught the golden rope, which was a reliable source of money.

[Maxcal (Executive): Guild Master! Why aren’t you answering the phone! I called you a while ago!][BOSS Kang (Guild Leader): Huh? did you call I left my phone to go out to eat. But why? What did you call for?][Maxcal (Executive): There is a riot in the rocky area right now. A strange guy with a robe and mask all over his face appeared, and he says he’s slaughtering our guild members who catch stone squirrels![BOSS Kang (guild leader): What? What kind of crazy man are you? And are you just looking at it with your eyes open? Catch him now and kill him! How important is a stone squirrel!][Maxcal (Executive): We tried to do the same. So, while the guild leader was unable to contact him, he had already formed an advance squad and pushed him in, but he is so quick and clever that he cannot catch him, and he is only targeting a relatively weak hunting team!][BOSS Kang (guild leader): Oh. seed. what kind of motherfucker I guess I didn’t come here on purpose, did I?][Maxcal (Executive): I don’t know. But considering that there is only one person… Anyway, I think we should grab it first.][BOSS Kang (Guild Leader): Okay. I’ll go right now. Gather the kids.][Maxcal (Executive): Yes. All right. Come quickly.]

Kang Seok-tae, using the ID BOSS Kang, quickly left the home of the Gahwa Guild and moved to the Teleport Zone in the Pioneers City.

Then he spit out a swear word inside.

‘Isn’t this kid supposed to know something? I was sure no one would know from the place that held out the golden cord.’

in rocky terrain.

woozy woozy.

“What do you mean?”

“What kind of madman is in this rocky area right now?”

“Hey. He’s not just a madman, he’s exactly what we’re after. Four teams have already been beaten.”

“OMG.”

“I told you to stop hunting right now and come to the safety zone.”

“Then let’s go. What do you need to die for? And I didn’t mean to deal with crazy people.”

This is exactly the 5th Gahwa Guild’s hunting party.

It was noisy.

Did the story about me already spread?

So I jumped right in.

Shooting skills at them.

“Ice Field! There is superimposed thin ice.”

Passionate!

As soon as ice was formed in the ice field, thin ice immediately fell on the ice.

And the thin ice that met the ice quickly turned into thicker ice.

“Wow!”

“What… what!”

“Damn it. That crazy bastard!”

“Harm! In the guild chat window, that crazy guy’s ice field wasn’t an ordinary ice field.”

“Chip. what? Isn’t Ice Field’s original ability to decrease movement speed? What kind of vitality do you lose every now and then?”

fuck.

I laughed at the actions of the Gahwa guild members.

Because it was a situation where only the ice field and the thin ice that would give strength to the ice field were used.

But in front of me, a situation that was nothing like a battlefield was created.

So I immediately used another skill.

Because it is the original rule to aggravate confusion in a chaotic situation.

“The pouring hail. And the ice blast!”

supportive. puck! puck! puck!

“Chip.”

“What kind of damage…”

“Damn it. This isn’t just a crazy level…”

Until recently, I had a battle with a total of 4 hunting parties belonging to the Gahwa Guild, but if I had to differentiate it broadly, this was the second battle with the user.

The first battle was a battle with 11 Daesung guild members in the anthill.

And he won very easily.

Exactly at level 101.

And now it’s level 200.

However, it cannot be dismissed as simply increasing the level of 99.

Because in the middle, 200 remaining stat points obtained from Scorpion King’s quest, and excluding current strength and agility, he wore Scorpion’s King’s accessories, which increased his intellect by 100.

Moreover, at that time, it was a time to wear rags to use as it was not even equipped with a rare-grade Saidin’s armor set.

But now, it’s a rare-grade Elsha’s armor set.

So it’s not that I don’t understand how they look.

Of course I understood.

Because I don’t have to do the rest other than understanding.

“Where are you going anyway? Ice Prison!”

Perhaps because there was an order to run away rather than my adversary, there were those who ran away leaving the same guild member struggling in the ice field.

So I used them for the first time.

The ice prison that is meant to be used in times like these.

Koo woong.

An ice prison the size of a house was created in an instant, centering on the five people who were running away and locked them in.

Of course, those who were imprisoned in the ice prison did not stand still.

“Boo… break it!”

“Fire Ball!”

“Lethal blow.”

“Triple shot!”

Those who were imprisoned in the ice prison still seemed to have their own experience.

So, at the mention of the destroyer spit out by one of them, they aimed at a single ice grate and relentlessly attacked only that part.

However.

“What… what is so hard!”

“Why doesn’t the gold itself go away?”

I was also very slightly concerned.

I’m afraid it might break

However, the ice grate did not go even a small incontinence due to numerous attacks.

So, first of all, I left them alone and used Ice Spears and multiple Ice Arrows to organize the rest of the Gahwa Guild members.

Of course there was resistance.

by attacking me.

“die! You motherfucker! Wind Spear!”

“Soar up. So wrap around my enemies! The root of death!”

“Summoned earth spirit. Earth Spirit.”

“Poison Arrow!”

Bubbly!

In an instant, several attacks lodged in my body.

But that’s it.

None of the attacks did any damage to me, at least enough to cause me to frown.

And the appearance seemed to be a shock to the enemy in its own way.

Everyone couldn’t hide their bewildered expression.

As much as that, my appearance reflected in their eyes is an ice-type wizard with extreme attack power.

That is, there was something that had to be relatively meager.

defense right away.

However, my morale seemed to have been completely broken by my excellent defense.

And who is the demoralized person?

dealt with simply.

With Ice Sphere, etc., the cooldown is coming back soon.

Now all that’s left is the five people who are imprisoned in the ice prison.

bum bum.I walked towards them leisurely, as if I had been out for a walk.

And he held out his hand in front of them.

“?”

“What…”

They expressed strong doubts about my actions.

So I quietly opened my mouth.

“right? No matter how deadly it is, it will be difficult to give out the undigested mineral chunks of a stone squirrel, right? Seriously, I’m a thief. Anyway, once you die, there is only a small amount of experience loss and a penalty of not being able to log in for 24 hours. not cancer

not.”

Of course, the desire to ask was like a chimney.

What is the use of this stone squirrel’s undigested mineral mass?

But I didn’t ask on purpose.

No, instead of asking, he took another sip and acted as if he knew how to use it.

Because in such a situation, secrets often leak out.

However.

“I can never give a lump of mineral because I have to post it in the guild chat room as soon as I get it.”

“that’s right. Later, the executives will check each one and confirm.”

They had already figured out that their purpose was not tolls, but the undigested mineral chunks of stone squirrels.

Of course, I thought it would be precious.

But it seemed more precious than I thought.

Seeing you do something like that.

Still, I kept the situation a little bit more.

“Hmm… did you need that many mineral chunks? It’s not…”

I deliberately slurred my words out so that they could hear them.

And one of them bit the bait I threw.

“We don’t even know what we are doing with this mineral mass. Instead, I do it because I actually paid 5,000 won to all party members every time I got one of these.”

“Me too.”

Of course I asked for the bait, but unfortunately I caught it (雜魚).

That’s why none of the five people knew the actual use.

But I realized that there was more hidden value than I thought.

As such, their party consisted of about 20 people on average.

And if a party of 20 people per day acquires at least 50 mineral chunks, not 100, a total of 5 million won was required.

There was not just one such party, but several.

In the end, it failed to acquire information about its use, but it obtained useful information in its own way.

So I gave these five people a present.

quick death.

If you die quickly, even if it’s 1 minute 1 second, 24 hours for reconnection will come quickly.

“Ice blast.”
