Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 182

182. A stone statue with no choice but to be greedy (1).

I wasn’t the only one dealing with the ogre hordes just to show off.

In other words, this is the first time that it has officially exposed its power outside the Myeongjin Shelter.

So, there are those who secretly follow me and watch the situation, but I needed to show my companions who have the power to easily play with ogres.

I showed it enough at my brother’s wedding, including Smith’s, but it’s still a bit different from that.

And it certainly seemed to work.

“Wow!”

“Myungjin! Myungjin!”

“ Hong Jooyoung! Hong Jooyoung!”

“We are strong! Myungjin is strong!”

Cheers cheering for me and Myungjin.

Moreover, as I was aiming, the pride that he himself belonged to the Myongjin was revealed in the shout.

That is why Seok In-soo opened his mouth and handed him a towel.

“Thank you.”

“What is hard work? Anyways, pick it up quickly and move quickly. I have no intention of dragging it out for too long.”

There was no intention of recovering Gangwon-do, where Myeongjin Shelter is located, and there was no intention of making Seoul or Korea a clean zone from monsters.

Even if that might be possible for a while, in the end there will be no limit.

Moreover, if you kill a monster in reality, you will get coins that can be exchanged for Goldering, but decisively the item did not give any experience points to it.

In other words, in order to develop, you had to unconditionally play ‘Revival Legend’.

So, I ordered the quick golden ring and coin collection to Insu Seok.

After that, I turned the direction to 12 o’clock.

After a while.

The original purpose was a group of ogres blocking the way to the east coast.

Other than that, there were no monsters set up near the Myeongjin Shelter.

However, I was able to meet monsters often while walking around the Myeongjin Shelter, and I did not use my own hands on such monsters.

Apparently, it was necessary to give the special forces and the guards something of experience.

To be honest, I didn’t even need to use my hands.

However, the singularity was that in the meantime, the number of people following us increased considerably.

Then, just before the sun goes down, make a full circle around the Myeongjin Shelter and reach the outer buildings No. 6 and No. 7 where you first set foot.

“Wow! thank you.”

“Thank you for killing the monster.”

“Myungjin! Myungjin!”

A huge shout poured out from the crowd following us, including those who were monitoring the situation, wondering if they might be able to get into the Myeongjin shelter.

Of course, I didn’t know why he reacted like that.

It is said that they ensured safety even a little by cleaning the surrounding monsters.

However, he did not show any reaction to the cheers and entered the Myeongjin shelter as it was.

After all, we’re not, I’m leaving them at risk by not reaching out to them.

In front of the main base of Myeongjin Shelter.

“Everyone worked hard today.”

“no!”

He opened his mouth with a loud voice in front of the 700 people who were with this reconnaissance team.

Then 700 people answered with one voice.

First, as the voice subsided, he spoke again.

“From now on, we will clean up the area around Myeongjin Shelter at least once every fortnight. So, not only Myeongjin Shelter, but the area around Myeongjin will be made into a place where monsters can’t even dream of!”

“Wow!”

“Myungjin! Myungjin!”

The loud shouts of 700 people spread to the residents of Myeongjin Shelter watching us, and so the day’s event ended.

After that, we moved together under the name of Myeongjin, so we had a dinner with 700 people in the auditorium.Of course, before that, not only my father, but also a small number of senior leaders had reported on the day’s events.

And my dad complimented me on how good I was.

Even my words that I would clean the area around Myungjin Shelter every fortnight that I spit out without prior consent.

next day.

“The youngest sergeant. This is Insoo Seok. May I come in?”

“Come on in.”

I was puzzled by Director Seok In-soo’s early visit, but I immediately went inside.

If it were to come to him personally, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

And it actually was.

“Isn’t that an American holdlet?”

“Yes.”

The company that had the original technology for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd virtual reality connectors was a US company called Beuten, and also a closed beta game called ‘Revival Legend’, which appeared after the Beten disappeared, no, ‘Forgotten Legend’ The first place to show up was the United States.

In other words, being strong is strong, but the United States had to have more information than anyone else.

Moreover, Myeongjin in his own way has been loud enough to shout in Korea, so he knows that Hold Ledge, Shaype, and the US government are the ones who control the US.

So, I had no choice but to ask the question to Director Seok In-soo again.

“Why are they? I don’t think I’m coming here to celebrate my belated brother’s wedding.”

“First of all, I didn’t say the exact reason. But he said that he had something to ask for help from the youngest master.”

“Hmm…”

If you came to ask for help from Africa or Southeast Asia or South America with the exception of a few countries, you would probably do.

That’s because there was a place where the influence of ‘Revival Legend’ was worse than that of North Korea.

But it wasn’t America.

“I know first. By the way, Dad already knows, right?”

“Yes. As soon as I reported the report to the president, I came to this place. The president also told the youngest Bocchan to deliver it quickly.”

“Yes. all right.”

drawing room.

At breakfast and in the small meeting room, I had a brief conversation with my father, my brother, and head of department Seok In-soo, but I could not guess the reason for their visit.

So there was an opinion that we should meet first, and we met them in the drawing room.

“Hello. My name is Austin, who is in charge of the intelligence department at Holdledge.”

“Hello. My name is Sten, who is the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army in Holdledge.”

“Yes. nice to meet you. My name is Sangman Hong, who is in charge of the Myungjin Guild.”

The person in charge of the intelligence department and the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army.

It was easy to see that he did not come to Myeongjin with a light heart.

Positions like the head of the intelligence department or the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army are roughly close to or directly below the guild leader.

Of course, to believe the words of those who have seen it for the first time?

Of course, now Myung-jin has grown to the point where he can voice his voice not only in Korea but also in the world.

And most recently, he proved that power by winning first place in the 1200 level regular quest.

So he said he had already been contacted in advance from Hold Ledge’s headquarters in the United States.

However, he did not know whether the person in charge of the intelligence department or the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army would come.

Anyway, they said goodbye to Dad and sat down on the chair.

Then their story began.

“The reason I came to Myeongjin is because I have one thing to ask for help.”

“I’m going to ask Myungjin for help at Holdledge…”

“haha. You seem too humble. Or maybe you’re looking at the hold ledge too high.”

Most of the conversations were conducted with Dad and a person named Aston, who is the head of the intelligence department.

And after the conversation between them, a man named Austin hardened his face and spoke softly.

“Hmm. Hmm. So it’s a shame, but we made a big mistake this time because we were blinded by greed.”

“Are you mistaken?”

“Yes.”

Summing up the words of Austin who followed, Holdledge said that he had acquired an item from a dungeon similar to Indonesia’s dungeon of ordeal.

a large stone statue.

At the same time, there was also a message.

[Destroy the stone statue.

-You can get a reward when you destroy a stone statue.]

So, it was said that Holdled also launched an attack to destroy the statue.

But at that moment, he said that the stone cracked and vomited something.

straight oak.

Of course, in today’s world, it is not a big deal for a stone statue to vomit orcs.

He said that he attacked the orcs without even paying attention to Holdledge.

Of course, the Orc, the pronoun of a monster that was weak against that attack, died as it was.

And so far there are no problems.

However, the item dropped as the orc died was a problem.

Just 500 coins.

If there is a lot, it is a lot, if it is less, a small amount.

No, considering the specificity of the coin, it had to be a huge amount.

So Holdledge said he attacked the cracked statue carefully this time.

However, a monster that only grows bigger and no longer appears.

First of all, Holdledge said that he waited without attacking the statue any more.

Then, the next day, the cracks disappeared, and the stone statue was restored to a clean, like-new appearance.

After that, he said that when he attacked again, it cracked, and this time a monster a little stronger than an orc popped out.

He gave me 700 coins because he was a little stronger than an orc.

Hold Ledge said he had judged that up to that time he had acquired a colossal treasure.

Of course, he also said that there was an opinion that it should be smashed as soon as possible even inside the hold ledge.

Because the fact that a stronger monster appeared than before also meant that one day there would be a monster that could not be dealt with.

Holdledge wasn’t stupid enough to know that.

But what a coin.

In a situation where it also went from a hundred units to a thousand units instead of one or two, the hold ledge came to say a little more, a little more, and in the end.

“Monsters are no longer a problem. No more incontinence can be made on the stone no matter how many attacks are thrown. That means that we can no longer attack the stone statue and make the monsters with a significant amount of coins vomit.”

Austin finished speaking with a dark expression on his face.

“But does that matter?”

frankly it was embarrassing

He didn’t say directly how many coins Austin got, but he probably won tens of thousands, maybe 100,000 or more.

So when he told me that there were no more monsters, he even thought that he was lucky.

However.

“Yes. It becomes a problem. Because… that’s the way things are.”

Soon, Austin pulled out a few pictures of the stone statue fluttering in a red haze from her bosom.

Of course, that alone didn’t seem like a big problem.

Unless it’s written below.

[The stone statue has reached the threshold of accepting the energy of death.

-If you do not destroy the statue in a short time, the latent energy of death is released from the statue.

-The energy of death that comes out once makes the whole continent a land of death.

: The stone statue that has begun to emit the energy of death cannot be destroyed until the entire continent turns into a land of death.]

While Hong Jooyoung has a conversation with a man named Austin.

New York, USA.

At Hold Ledge’s headquarters, five top executives sat around a table and talked.

“Will the information about NPCs move there?”

“It will move. Information about NPCs still has tremendous value.”

“And since we gave Austin room to negotiate, there should be no problem in bringing Asirante or Hong Jooyoung here. What’s more, it’s something we did, but it has nothing to do with Hong Jooyoung anyway.”

“haha. How did you start your first meeting with Hong Jooyoung so poorly…”“It was just that we were too greedy.”

“Right. I was too greedy.”

The five top executives of Holdledge ended the conversation with such a bitter bite.

Myungjin Shelter’s drawing room.

“……”

When I looked at the words in the picture, I had only one thought.

These Americans in front of me are truly a bunch of nuisance.

And it didn’t seem like these guys didn’t know that either, as they put their eyes down and avoided my gaze.

Of course, I was not sure whether it was really possible to turn the whole continent into a land of death, but anyway, what was certain was that it had to be destroyed as soon as possible.

There’s no need for a risky experiment for nothing.

So I immediately opened my mouth.

“By the way, if you can’t even make gold on a stone statue in Holdledge…”

Of course, it was never a guild where hold ledges were common.

A guild like one of the few in the world.

That’s why I asked such a question, and Austin’s mouth came out with the answer I had expected.

‘Cause this isn’t the first time

In other words, there was a case where they invaded Japan through a wall called Channel or Server together with the Future Guild.

And then I was the one who broke through that wall.

No matter how many tens or hundreds of attacks, only one of the most powerful attacks is applied.

“Even if the statue receives countless attacks, only one attack with the strongest damage is effective. Of course, I’m not asking you to destroy it for free. I am fully willing to repay him.”

Austin’s response immediately opened his mouth.

“Then let’s hear the reward.”

The words that came out of Austin’s mouth after that were quite surprising.

Because I couldn’t even imagine the existence of an NPC.

However, it was clear that NPCs were fighting the military units in the video presented as evidence.

Of course, you’ll find out at some point later.

But it was very important to know before others.

I was able to prepare ahead of time.

There.

“I will give you 20 billion golden rings and 30,000 exchangeable coins.”

The price wasn’t bad.

In particular, the US is cheap shit, but if it is not resolved, there is room for damage to me.
