Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 92

92. The useless one, the useful one (1).

“Check the name.”

As soon as we confirmed the additional rewards according to the contribution, we started to check the title this time with inflated expectations.

[Title: 4th anniversary event winner.

-This is a title given to 59 members of the group who placed 1st in the 4th anniversary event.

: Increases vitality by 50,000.

: Increases mana amount by 50,000.

: All stat points increase by 100.

-4th Anniversary Special EXP Blessing: Additional 5% EXP acquired when killing monsters.

-4th Anniversary Special Golden Ring’s Blessing: Additional 5% Golden Ring acquired when defeating monsters.]

As soon as I saw the name, I had one thought.

that’s just awkward.

That much, 50,000 vitality and 50,000 mana were the lowest figures except for the title of ‘one who does not decline’, which can be seen as almost a penalty.

All stat points increase by 100.

Moreover, the title of ‘successful first step’ obtained a while ago was an increase of 300 stat points for every 100,000 increase in vitality and mana, so the disappointment was even greater.

Of course, there were two options to offset that disappointment.

Instantly increases experience by 5% and Golden Ring by 5%.

‘Hmm…’

For a moment, I thought about what kind of efficiency those two would show.

And frankly, it was judged that acquiring an additional 5% of the Golden Ring was meaningless.

As much as that, the Golden Rings they already had were enormous, and I did not feel the need to supply them like crazy through hunting in the future.

This time alone, he even acquired a whopping 1 billion Golden Rings.

Anyway, getting an additional 5% Golden Ring is definitely not a big deal, but I definitely liked the other one.

Obviously, 5% cannot be called a high number, but considering the level-up that will continue in the future, it is an option that will allow you to take a few steps ahead of others even if you are inferior.

So, if there was no 5% increase in experience, I would have been very disappointed by the title of the 4th anniversary event winner, but it was still somewhat comforting.

However, it seemed that I was too full based on the reaction of those around me.

“Big. Getting a title for the first time at level 1037!”

“And if you have 50,000 HP, 50,000 vitality, and 100 stat points for every stat point, that’s enough for an intermediate level title!”

“There is also a 5% increase in experience and golden rings that are not found in general titles.”

A title that earns the envy of others just by possessing it.

There were very few people who had even one title.

That’s why he couldn’t keep his mouth shut for a while when he revealed his first five titles in the presence of his older brother and older sister as well as his father.

Moreover, he currently has a total of 7 titles, including this title and the title of successful first step obtained a while ago.

I felt a sense of pride.

Even if there is a performance difference between each title, it is something to be proud of anyway.

Moreover, I have a memory of receiving 300 remaining stat points saying that I achieved a great achievement when I had 5 titles.

Anyway, unlike the last time I felt a little dissatisfied with the title of the winner of the 4th anniversary event, this time I was able to find a part I was worried about while checking it with a happy heart.

59 people who spoke directly.

In addition to the title of winner of this 4th anniversary event, there were exactly 59 people in 20,000 coins, 1 billion golden rings and 500 remaining stat points.

In other words, it is a soft purple that is completely excluded from compensation.

Of course, in the message to make a sacrifice, it was mentioned that the person who made the sacrifice would not receive any compensation, so I knew it, but I had to be concerned.

Because Yeon-Bora’s role in the entire 4th anniversary event is not light.And it didn’t seem like I was the only one who noticed it.

For a moment, the atmosphere subsided as if it had been buzzing and buzzing.

And then, the only person who could change the atmosphere here opened his mouth.

This is the future Chairman Yeon Jung-hwan.

“haha. Thank you all for thinking of our Bora. Although Bora is not here, she must be very happy to have contributed to Korea’s victory. So you don’t have to be depressed because of Bora.”

Chairman Yeon Jeong-hwan spoke with a generous smile and continued to open his mouth as if he still had more to say.

“By the way, I would like to invite all the people here and hold a championship dinner, but I am sorry that I cannot move around recklessly because they are like beams from the guilds to which they belong, but I will omit that part. But if I had to say one word as the head of the future guild, I would come this far.

Obviously, Bora played a big role, but there are people who played a bigger role. That’s Ashirante. Probably no one can argue against it. So, as the guild leader, the future guild, I am making a suggestion.

I think De has to repay him to some extent. There is no law that there will be no confrontation between countries like this in the future.”

I never thought that future Chairman Yeon Jung-hwan would mention me.

Moreover, he did not even know how to refer to me, who was superficially good at Daeyu, as the main pillar of the entire Republic of Korea after leaving Daeyu.

And as soon as Chairman Yeon Jeong-hwan finished speaking, a loud voice came from the other side.

“That is correct. Obviously, it would have been impossible to come this far without Ashirante-sama after round 80, no, after round 70. So, I totally agree with Ashirante-sama that we should all be compensated to some extent. But I have to give something back to Bora.

I think you do. Obviously, what Bora did was great.”

Daesung Chairman Kim Jung-han’s words.

It was certainly a word that anyone would notice, but Gusan-do, Myeong-jin, and Dae-yu did not object to it, and in the end, it was decided that way.

I decided to give a special reward to me and Yeon Bora.

And at that moment, the message rang.

[The 4th anniversary event has ended.

-All users in each area within Ludon’s arena will be moved to their area after 10 seconds.]

First of all, for me, I also got 1st place, and I looked at the message with satisfaction because I got an additional reward of 400 remaining stat points according to the contribution.

New York, USA.

“……”

“……”

“……”

There was only silence in the conference room of the Holdledge leadership, who had lost first place.

Of course, he finished second and received a decent second prize of his own, but that made him even more furious.

It is self-evident that the 1st prize is better than the 2nd prize is good.

Especially when it comes to coins.

And then, in a heavy atmosphere, one of the five top executives spoke up.

“Where’s number one?”

“That’s… Korea.”

“Korea? The South Korea I know?”

“Yes…”

At Austin’s response, the head of the intelligence service, sighs erupted throughout the conference room.

Somewhere, for the first time in my life, I heard a question mixed with the question of where the country of the Republic of Korea is attached to.

A conference room where the first place comes from an unexpected place and shouts out one word at a time.

“Everyone, be quiet!”

However, silence soon settled in the words that erupted from the seats of the top five executives.

And as silence settled in the conference room, one of the top executives asked another question.

“How…how is it possible for Korea to be number one? As far as I know, I know that Korea was not even on the list at all.”

Holdledge has compiled its own list of countries that will make it to the rankings of the 4th anniversary event.

Of course, expectations were far out of line.

The hold ledge was also completely unexpected in the counterattack of the sacrifice that occurred in the 32nd round and the sacrifice that occurred in the 68th round.

However, what was more unexpected than that was Korea’s No.

That’s why we’re holding this meeting right now.

Anyway, to the question of the top five executives, Austin, the head of the intelligence department, wiped his sweat and opened his mouth.

“That’s… we haven’t figured out the exact information yet. However, as there are 59, not 60, witnesses at the scene, we will collect information as quickly as possible.”

“Will it be faster? South Korea, too, would try not to divulge information as much as possible.”

“Whether it be money, fame, or threats, I will move as quickly as possible.”

“Hmm.”

“greatness.”

In response to Austin, the head of intelligence, the five top executives salivated as if they didn’t like it.

But it wasn’t polished.

It’s only been 10 minutes since the 4th anniversary event ended.

After that, the meeting went on for a while.

Even though the 4th anniversary event was over, the heat still did not subside.

“Then let’s break up here.”

“Thank you.”

“You suffered.”

There was no such thing as a grand dissolution after being kicked out of Ludon’s arena.

We just shook hands once and parted for each guild.

And on the surface, since I am the Daeyou Guild, I first moved with the Daeyou Guild member, and then broke up immediately.

Because I had work to do right now to log out and rest like them.

hunting right away.

The period of obtaining 50% additional experience was exactly 30 days.

So, as soon as they parted, they moved to the grave of the dead, but there were already widely distributed and hunting Daeyu guild members.

Even 8 driving teams for me.

Of course I understood.

If you gain 50% additional experience, catching just 2 monsters will have the effect of catching 3 monsters normally.

In other words, even those who were not usually interested in hunting had no choice but to become interested.

For a moment, I thought that the 8 Malls, who were hunting them hard, would force the team to drive the monsters, but I decided that there was no need to introduce the villains to that extent.

Moreover, it was time to find a new hunting ground.

That is why the level did not rise even by one level after the last hunting in the grave of the dead before the start of the 4th anniversary event, but the remaining stat points increased by a whopping 900.

Naturally, it was all invested in intellect, and as it grew together, his stamina of 900 and psyche of 450 also increased.

There is also an increase in all stat points by 100 due to the title.

Considering all this, it was like that before, but now, the grave of the dead has definitely been reduced to an easy hunting ground for my level.

But there was still a disappointment that caught my foot.

That’s the monster driving team.

Apart from everything else, it was efficient in terms of time and labor.

If you can do it, you absolutely have to.

Of course, there was a trick where I could have the effect of having a driving team even if I didn’t have a driving team.

Blink with zero cooldown.

‘Then it would be nice to be there.’

After Dae-You’s chairman Seo Dae-young declared that he would no longer support me, he looked for several hunting grounds.

And among them, I found a hunting ground that was quite good for me.Moreover, it was also owned by Myung-jin.

I immediately whispered to the head of the office, Seok In-soo.

I confirmed that it was a 100% abandoned hunting ground, but I was wondering if there would be a member of the Myongjin guild who hunts because of the 50% increase in experience.

That’s why I plan to use Blink with zero cooldown there.

I want to hide it to the end as my last secret, but I don’t want to just wrap it up because I’m afraid of maggots.

“move. Steelfang Smilodon Habitat.”

[Go to the Steelfang Smilodon habitat.]

So the next hunting ground was decided.

Between levels 800 and 900, strong physical attack power is basic, and it is a smilodon habitat where it is difficult to properly attack because it is too fast.

And the fact that it was quick and that everything else was very attractive came to me.

That means you can gather them quickly.

“welcome. Asirante. Thank you for contacting Myungjin in this way.”

At the Smilodon Habitat, Chief In-su Seok was already there.

With 5 people in the back.

And, of course, they acted like they didn’t know each other.

I already know that the 5 people behind me are trustworthy, but there is something just in case.

First of all, I pretended not to know the manager Seok In-soo.

“Yes. Thank you for listening to my request.”

“haha. What. Rather, thank you for reaching out to us first.”

Naturally, I plan to hunt while using the cool-time zero blink without hesitation.

You have to make the most of the 30 days that you can gain 50% more experience.

And those five people are responsible for sealing off the entrance to the Smilodon habitat for me.

Of course, in the meantime, there is a restriction that they cannot hunt, but they decided to give enough compensation to offset the restriction.

Anyway, after shaking hands with Insoo Seok, I stepped into the Smilodon habitat.

But after a while, he stopped at the spot with a whisper from an unexpected person.

It’s the whisper of the purple one.

[kali: What are you doing?][lumen: hunting.][kali: I work hard.][lumen: You have to work hard for 30 days. I’ve heard the story anyway. I’m very sorry, but I’m still strong.]

That was all I could say to Yeon-Bora.

[kali: Oh. Did you hear?][lumen: uh.]

There was no whisper from Yeon-Bora for a while in response to my answer.

So, thinking that even the lavender had nothing to say, a message, not a whisper, rang as I went back into the Smilodon habitat.

[Kali has sent information about the titles ‘Useless’ and ‘Useful.’][Title: useless person.

-Limited title for 300 days. (Remaining time 299 days 17 hours 44 minutes)

-This is a title that can only be obtained by those selected as sacrifices in the 4th anniversary event.

-It is also a title that gives an opportunity to transform the useless into the useful.]

Obviously, a person who was useless by name alone made me feel really bad.

But it wasn’t at all, and the useful person who could change it showed performance enough to put my tongue out of it.
