Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 84

84. root.

“Ice Storm. The pouring hail!”

Bubbly! Bubbly!

Whoops! Whoops!

Using Blink to dig into the undead monsters collected by the No. 3 Mole team, he immediately used the wide-area skill linkage following the ice field.

In this linkage, more than 100 undead monsters are all instantly killed.

And this attack had no choice but to gain a little power without me knowing.

Because the experience was 99.98% up until the moment.

For that reason, a message rang among the monsters that fell.

[Level has risen.]

Of course, it was a message I heard a lot.

However, the reason this message is unique is that it is the message that informs the 400 level.

So the message didn’t stop there.

[You have acquired 4 skill points by reaching level 400.

– You can additionally learn up to level 5 skills.]

Having a lot of skills doesn’t necessarily prove strength, but what is certain is that it contributes to strength to some extent.

So, a smile was drawn on his lips as soon as he acquired 4 skill points, but he persevered.

Dae-Yoo, because I don’t need to inform Chairman Seo Dae-Young of my level 400 achievement.

‘Check time.’

[It is 23:54.]

Considering that I always hunted until 1 am, the remaining time for today is about 1 hour.

I thought it was like a chimney, wanting to learn new skills right away and match new level 400 legendary items with them.

With the 5 billion Golden Rings acquired yesterday, it currently holds a total of 6.5 billion Golden Rings.

However.

“Let’s go. As the number four sheepdog team.”

“Yes.”

Jinyoung Lee, who always supports me and manages the team of 4 Monster Malls, spoke in the same voice as usual.

And for the rest of the hour, he continued hunting as he had always done.

Five minutes before 1:00 in the morning.

“You did a great job today.”

“no. We have a lot of extra income thanks to Ashirante-sama.”

“Yes. We are more grateful.”

I ended the hunt with thanks to those who drove the monsters for me on the grounds that I was yielding all items including the Golden Rings dropped by the monsters.

And behind them who use the teleport zone in the grave of the dead, I also climbed onto the teleport zone.

“move. Kotum Castle.”

[Move to Kotum Castle.]

Anyway, skills can be learned anywhere as long as there is a tower in the central plaza, and there is an auction house here too, so I came to Kotum Castle, the most familiar to me without hesitation.

And he moved straight to the central square.

Because acquiring skills was more important than items right now.

Moreover, I have already thought about the skills to acquire.

[There are currently available ice-based skills.][There are currently upgradeable ice-based skills.]

As soon as we approached the tower in the central square, a message rang.

‘Check skill list.’

First, check the skills you currently have.

1. Level 3 Ice Ball. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

2. Level 3 Ice Vault. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

3. Level 3 Ice Weapon. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

4. Level 3 Ice Shield. (Level 1, 3, 5, 7)

5. Mild frostbite. (Passive.)6. Level 2 Ice Field. (Level 2, 5, 7)

7. Level 4 pouring hail. (Levels 2, 4, 6, 8)

8. Level 4 Ice Blast. (Level 2, 4, 6)

9. Level 3 Multiple Ice Arrow. (Level 2, 3, 5)

10. Level 3 Ice Prison. (Level 3, 5, 7)

11. Level 3 Flesh Ice. (3rd level.)

12. Level 4 Ice Spear. (Level 3, 4, 6)

13. Level 4 Blink. (Level 4, 6)

14. Level 4 Ice Storm. (Level 4, 7, 8)

A total of 14 skills currently possessed.

I waited for level 400 even more because of one of them.

That is, the level 2 ice field can finally be upgraded to level 5.

I immediately tried upgrading all of the skills that could be upgraded to level 5, including the ice field.

[Would you like to upgrade level 3 ice shield to level 5 ice shield?][Do you want to upgrade level 2 ice field to level 5 ice field?][Are you sure you want to upgrade your level 3 multiple ice arrow to a level 5 multiple ice arrow?][Do you want to upgrade level 3 ice prison to level 5 ice prison?]

“Upgrade.”

Of course, as it is upgraded to level 5, the power will naturally increase, but the cooldown time is inevitably increased as a reward.

However, I can confidently say that I already have a faster cooldown than anyone else, and moreover, I decided to upgrade without hesitation because I plan to acquire a new passive skill considering that.

And when the 5th level upgrade for the 4 skills was finished, this time, I searched for a new skill to learn.

[Level 5 Ice Rain (Active, 3 required skill points, 1,200,000 golden rings required)

: Creates a rain of ice in a certain range.

: There is only level 5 ice lane.]

Cold rice Daewooin skill.

Because it started at level 5 and ended at level 5.

Therefore, considering that other representative wide-area skills such as ice field, pouring hail, and ice storm can be upgraded from level 2 or 4 to level 5, level 6, etc., up to level 7, 8, and 8, respectively, This is bound to drop significantly.

Moreover, the required skill points were three more than Ice Storm.

Of course, there were occasions when it was used often.

Raising all skills to the maximum level is not always a good thing.

It was very important to properly distribute the cooldowns of the skills because you can’t just suck your fingers and stare at the skills for which the cooldown doesn’t come back.

However, even considering all of that, the three skill points are inevitably excessive, if not a little.

That’s why I’m in the middle of a cold meal that doesn’t fit my likes or dislikes.

Furthermore.

‘Because it’s not at level 500.’

In the past, every 5, 100, 200, and 300 level, level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4 skill, and now that level 400 has been achieved, up to level 5 skill can be acquired.

So, if you follow the rules, it seems that you can learn level 6 skills at level 500, but it is not at level 500.

I’m at level 600.

That is, from the 6th level skill, the term of level 200 changes, not the term of level 100 before that.

For example, the level 6 skill is level 600, the level 7 skill is level 800, and the level 8 skill is level 1000.

So, instead of always giving 3 skill points, this time I was given 4 as much as I used to.

So, in a field where you have to pay more attention to your skills, using 3 skill points for one skill is inevitably overkill.

However.

‘First of all, it’s definitely useful.’

The current representative wide-area skills are pouring hail and ice storm.

And both of them are level 4, so for the time being, they have no choice but to use it that way.

The next level of the pouring hail is level 6, and the ice storm is level 7.

Of course, it is possible to use Ice Storm by raising it to level 7 as a skill functional ring, which is a legendary backstitch, but I plan to leave it sealed for the time being.

Anyway, in such a situation, the new level 5 wide-area skill will definitely be of great help.

and.

‘After all, the single skills are Ice Ball, Ice Bolt, Multiple Ice Arrow, and Ice Spear.’

In particular, I did not feel the lack of a single skill in that Ice Ball and Ice Bolt can be used almost without a cooldown.

Moreover, my skill is not weak enough to be ignored as a low-level single skill.

‘get.’

So, as I had already made up my mind, I immediately learned the 5th level ice lane.

And 3 of the 4 remaining skill points have already been used.

I searched for one skill to use the remaining one.

Of course, this is also one of the skills I decided to acquire in advance.

as soon as.

[Ice-type skill cooldown reduction (Passive, required 1 skill point, required golden ring 2,000,000 gold ring.)

: Reduces the cooldown of all acquired Ice-type skills by 3%.

: For every 3 ice skills, the cooldown of all ice skills decreases by 1%.

-When you acquire this skill, the number of ice-based skills you currently have: 15.

– The cooldown of all skills of Ice type is reduced by an additional 5% to the base 3%, for a total of 8%.]

If you learn Ice-type skill cooldown reduction, you will have a total of 16 skills.

And among them, except for Blink, a total of 15 skills were ice-type skills.

To be honest, I did not intend to learn the skill of reducing the cooldown of ice-based skills with the characteristic ‘Ice Man’.

Because he already had less skill cooldown than anyone else.

However, the skill levels started to rise gradually, so no matter how fast the skill cooldown was, there was definitely a delay.

Especially after using the 7th level Ice Storm as a skill functional ring, I definitely felt it.

It’s good, it’s really good, but it’s a pity that I don’t use it often.

So when I reached level 400, I promised myself that I would definitely learn this skill.

In that way, I learned the skill to reduce the cooldown time of ice-based skills and stepped out of the central plaza.

Next destination?

It was, of course, an auction house.

It was possible before, but now I can afford without hesitation to get the best items for my level.

So this time, I’m going to buy a proper weapon.

Also, both a sword with the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword in mind and a staff-type weapon that properly raises intelligence.

In any case, it only took 3 minutes to upgrade the skill and learn a new one, while investing close to 30 minutes at the auction house to purchase the 400 level legendary Shunan’s robes set, one-handed sword and staff, respectively.

All together, it cost about 100 million Golden Rings.

Big spend for the first time.

But it wasn’t too much of a burden.

Because there was still 6.4 billion gold rings in the inventory, and it was not too much of a problem even if there was a loss to some extent when reselling it later.

next day.

You are not connected to the game.

So, I spoke to Daeyu in advance.

I can’t access the game for personal reasons, and even if I do, it’s sparse, so there’s no need to run the Monster Mall team.

So today, I had an appointment with my whole family to go to Gangwon-do.

Travel?

Of course, a trip can be called a trip, but more precisely, it was more of a confirmation of a home for the future of Myeongjin, which is being built in Gangwon-do.

And I just found out about this.

I simply knew that they were building a fairly large building in Gangwon-do.

In the news, there was only a brief report that Myeongjin Construction was building a fairly large complex leisure facility in Gangwon-do.

Anyway, it’s been 3 years since I made the first shovel, and it’s not yet finished, but it’s got a rough shape, so the whole family decided to go there in the name of a trip.

So, I prepared early in the morning and moved to the main house in Cheongdam-dong.

Of course, I brought the 3rd generation virtual reality connector.

When I have time, I have to hunt even if there is no Monster Mall team.

Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do.

“Did the media play to build a complex leisure facility in a place like this?”

No, it was not an empty field, but it was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was nothing to play, see, or eat at all.Of course, it was impossible to see directly in the field of vision, but he said that there is a 38th parallel that separates north and south not so far away.

In other words, even if a complex leisure facility is actually built, there is no marketability or profitability at all.

So, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed that the media play of building a complex leisure facility worked here.

And my sister completely relieved my embarrassment.

“Brother. There is nothing that cannot be done with money in Korea.”

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

because it’s true

And as we entered a little further, we were greeted by a building that was not that big and not spacious.

But when I entered the building, I knew it.

called an iceberg.

In other words, an iceberg is a very small part floating on the surface of the water, and there was a body boasting a huge size in the invisible water.

That’s why there is an expression called the tip of the iceberg.

Especially this building.

“…I don’t know how they came up with the idea of building a building like this. Besides, it’s been three years since I just checked the information on ‘Revival Legend’.”

Of course, it costs more to build a building underground than to build a building on the ground.

And the deeper it digs into the ground, the more it inevitably rises to the ceiling.

“next year? Or, in my later years, Myongjin Construction may go bankrupt. no i will go bankrupt I used it all up with not a single penny left.”

“……”

I was speechless for a moment at the words of my older sister, who responded with a smile to my words.

After that, everything but the missing was there, so I went outside after looking around a place that was closer to a castle rather than a nest.

“By the way, do you still have a lot to do? When I arrived, I saw that there were a lot of dump trucks coming and going.”

In response to the question posed to Director Seok In-soo, manager Seok In-soo opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

“It’s not Myeongjin’s.”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t understand the words of Director Seok In-soo, so I had no choice but to ask.

“It’s not from Myungjin, it’s from the future. The future is also in the midst of making a mark in Gangwon-do.”

“……”

Clearly, Myeongjin is not the only one preparing for the future.

Anyway, that day, he did not go to his house in Seoul, but unpacked his luggage at a villa in Gangwon-do.

After dinner, we talked for about two hours and then went to our respective rooms.

Of course, the thought of logging into ‘Revival Legend’ to raise even a single experience point was like a chimney, but I fell asleep right away because I was tired from moving around all day today.

While Hong Jooyoung was lying on the bed and falling asleep.

Something fell out of Hong Jooyoung’s sole.

After that, I started moving slowly and leisurely.

It’s definitely bigger than when it first appeared.

And the thing that was crawling like that, no, now it definitely resembles a root, it suddenly lifted its tip as if a meerkat raised its head, and then started moving swiftly in one direction.

Whoops!

Lightly through the thick wall.

Not far from the villa where Hong Jooyoung is staying.

Chwiik. Chwiik.

Life that was apparently not on Earth, such as the one that appeared in Annapurna in the Himalayas, appeared.

Of course, the creature also looked around, turning its head in all directions to the environment it had seen for the first time.

But the dark darkness.

So, as the creature was moving to a bright shimmering light not far away, she noticed a sound.

Shh.

The sound of something running at high speed.

But before he could react, he could hear other sounds.

Whoops!
