Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 74

74. Impossible quest.

[Level 400 regular quest ‘Stop the Scorpion King.’ begins.

-Each defender moves to its own defensive position and must block the attacks of the Scorpions for a total of 6 rounds.

-The boss monster, Scorpion King, appears to the defenders who blocked the attacks of the Scorpions with the highest score.][The 91 defense will be located at the 7th defense line in the B area.]

Whoop!

At the end of that message, I felt my body moving somewhere.

Of course, somewhere in the B zone is the 7th line of defense.

And in general, but not all, I faced the rest of the people who gave me envy as if I was facing a celebrity I admire.

Moreover, this is the second challenge.

At the first challenge, the eyes were not like this.

Clearly, eyes full of criticism and displeasure welcomed me.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand.

At that time, the ID of Asirantera was not known, and she was apparently level 131, which was far short of being able to participate in the level 400 regular quest.

Anyway, the moment I was thinking a lot about the completely reversed situation from then, most of them rushed to me and opened their mouths.

“Hello. Asirante-sama!”

“It is really an honor to meet you.”

“I am Baek Sang-hyun with the ID Raon. I have always admired Ashirante-sama.”

Celebrity’s popularity.

Of course, this popularity wasn’t the only thing.

“How the hell are you so strong that you fart like that?”

“So.”

The name Ashirante has become famous in its own way, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should know, so I didn’t really care.

Because everyone who needs to know already knows.

For example, Seo Dae-young, president of the Daeyou Guild.

And after waiting for the atmosphere to calm down a bit, he opened his mouth in a loud voice so that everyone could hear it.

“I am going to be a little more active.”

Occupying the boss monster was natural, and I plan to get a higher contribution than then.

The reward is also a reward, but at that time, he received a whopping 200 remaining stat points saying that he exceeded the maximum contribution that an individual could obtain.

Moreover, it is a very stupid act to stop leveling up because of the 400 level regular quest, so this is the last challenge.

I plan to decorate the finale nicely.

And at my words, one shouted loudly.

“I don’t care! Moreover, even if you look around, no one seems to have a name, but it is honestly impossible to win first place by beating numerous defenses at this level. However, if Ashirante-sama actively moves and wins first place, he should bow down. So I rather

I would like to ask you to do it.”

“I… me too. Same opinion.”

“Fighting, Ashirante-sama!”

No one stopped my words.

Of course, there would be limits if an individual moved actively in one corner, but I heard muffled noises such as what kind of strange noise they were making, but I ignored it.

Even if you don’t tell me I’m really strong, you’ll know soon anyway.

Anyway, the atmosphere of the 91st Defense Team to which I belong was very good.

And in that good atmosphere, the message to announce the start of the first round rang.

[Round 1 begins.

– Wounded scorpions appear.]

“Ice Field. thin ice.”

In the past, thin ice has always been used overlaid on the ice field.

And it was not only me, but the Ice-type wizards did that in general.

The ice field had level 2, level 5, and level 7, and it takes a considerable amount of time to upgrade from level 2 to level 5, so the only thing that exists to make up for that is level 3 thin ice.

But this time, it was not used overlapping.

Separately, I used thin ice right next to the place where the ice field was used.

And next to it, pouring hail and ice storms were used.

Bubbly! Whoops!

As they entered the realm of my ice storm and hail, the wounded Scorpions couldn’t move a few steps before their thick-looking shells shattered and shattered.

Of course, that’s not the only reason the Scorpions died.

Right on the ice field.

Even the Scorpions, who set foot on the ice field with enthusiasm, collapsed pick-and-pick before they even crossed half of them.

Except for the thinly sliced ice.

Thin ice with the lowest power on its own.

So it was impossible to kill the Scorpions with the thin ice itself.However, it was sure to inflict a significant blow, so it was hit by low-level attacks such as my ice ball or ice bolt, and I fell down pick-and-pick.

Literally slaughter.

Of course, what is inevitable is that it is now double compared to the level 131 that I first challenged? No, at least three or four times stronger.

Moreover, the quest to stop this Scorpion King is a quest that can be participated up to level 400.

In other words, it has no choice but to be a quest designed at level 400.

And the level 400 level quest was easier than a piece of cake for me now.

Anyway, the 1st round was very easy to clear, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds were the same.

And as if to prove it, the scoreboard revealed a significant difference between the second and the second place.

[Current defense scoreboard.

-1st place: Defense 91st (855,781 points)

-2nd place: Defense No. 27 (352,191 points)

-3rd place: Defense 155th (347,225 points)

：

“……”

Even when the first round was over, there were cheers shouting my name and fighting.

However, as the round progressed, the cheers disappeared.

Instead, there was silence, which lasted until the end of the last six rounds.

And at the end of the 6th round, the message congratulating the 1st place broke the silence and flowed out in a low voice.

“It was something I could… do on my own.”

That voice was the catalyst.

“I… thank you.”

“Thanks to Ashirante-sama, this is my last challenge, and I got 1st place…”

“It was really cool.”

The words he spit out still couldn’t hide the astonishment on his face.

“no. Thank you for giving up until round 6.”

Rather, I thanked them.

Of course, even those who actively supported me would not have known that I would be able to defend perfectly throughout the sixth round.

Obviously, even while cheering, their faces say, ‘Yeah. Let’s see how much you do.’

But the truth is, anyway, their concessions decorated the wonderful finale, so the expression of gratitude was real.

And then the message rang.

[The boss monster, Scorpion King, appears in the 91st Defender with the highest score.]

With that message, a really small Scorpion King appeared, and of course, I also took care of that Scorpion King.

One shot of Ice Spear.

end with that.

[-The contribution of the quest ‘Stop the Scorpion King.’ is counted.

-1st place: Asirante – 5,854,382 points.

-2nd place: Raon – 0 points.

-2nd place: No. 13 participating user (ID not disclosed) – 0 points.

-2nd place: kite – 0 points.

“Second place… I didn’t know I was going to be second.”

“me too.”

“By the way, isn’t this something to brag about?”

“Well… second place is enough to be proud of.”

A message related to compensation finally rang in the sweet atmosphere of whether or not to laugh except for me.

[Compensation is given according to the level of contribution.][This is Ashirante’s reward.

– Acquire a significant amount of experience.

-25.5 million Golden Rings are obtained.

-Get 1000 coins.

-Obtain the Scorpion Necklace.][Level has risen.][Level has risen.]

[Level has risen.]

A reward that can be obtained from the beginning.

There was more to it than this.

And it rang as expected.

[You have exceeded the maximum contribution that an individual can earn.

-An additional reward will be given to Ashirante.

– Acquire 300 remaining stat points.]

At that time, the remaining 200 stat points were obtained.

If not, I thought I would get 400 or more this time.

Because the contribution score now is several times higher than the contribution score then.

But I didn’t bother complaining.

Even 300 is a huge amount.

“Thank you very much, Ashirante.”

“For 1st place, 150 coins, golden rings and experience.”

“Thank you very much.”

Even those who were dubious about me at first expressed their gratitude.

Because I didn’t do anything well, I got a contribution value of 0, but I still got the 1st prize.

I recovered everything, including the Scorpion King’s ring that was dropped when the Scorpion King died, and finished the quest.

They made concessions, but anyway, it’s the monster I dealt with.

the grave of the dead.

As soon as I finished the quest, I moved to the Tomb of the Dead.

Clearing the quest with an overwhelming record? a break from it?

It’s no big deal.

Because it was really easy.

So, I came to the grave of the dead with the intention of starting the hunt again, and an unexpected person was waiting for me.

Kim Seong-Han.

Of course, Kim Seong-han would not know me.

But I know.

Because I heard something from my father, older brother, and manager Seok In-soo.

“Hahaha. Hello. Asirante. My name is Seonghan Kim, who will be by my side to support Ashirante from today. It’s nice to meet Ashirante-sama, who has such a great reputation.”

“Yes. Hello. The person who was there before was also good enough… But please take care of me.”

“Yes. If you need anything, please let me know.”

In the beginning, when Kim Seong-han was recruited to Myungjin, he was recruited as the possessor of the first trait.

However, Kim Seong-han achieved the maximum level in both the 1st and 2nd rounds.

That is, he possesses two traits.

However, Kim Seong-han deliberately hid his second characteristic.

And the second characteristic of Kim Seong-han, which was later identified, is that it induces favorable feelings.

So, while I was driving, Kim Seong-han lost the trait holders who reached 150.

Moreover, it was impossible to bring back the trait holder who had already passed the Holadang.

Anyway, while talking with Kim Seong-han, I continued to doubt and repeat myself.

Kim Seong-han said he couldn’t trust anyone.

However.

‘It’s strange. Apparently, if you talk to Kim Seong-han, he will unwittingly develop a crush on him.’

Of course, I don’t know if it was because I had a bad feeling for Kim Seong-han from the beginning, but I didn’t really like him.

Rather than liking him, only the thought of imprisoning him in an ice prison and using ice blasting is like a chimney.

But first of all, he endured.

Because it still sticks to the oil, and there is still a lot of food left to pull like leeches.

And if you eat them all, you’re going to launch a proper attack on this guy Kim Seong-han.

fuck.

So, first of all, he smiled at Kim Seong-han and opened his mouth.

“Then may I ask you to hunt sheep?”

“sure. We will be ready soon.”

Kim Seong-han, who met Ashirante for the first time.

He couldn’t help but feel gloomy.

Because, as soon as I used the 2nd trait Favorable Trigger on Ashirante, the message went off.

[There is a huge gap with the other party.

– The effect of inducing sympathy is reduced by 99.5%.]

Kim Seong-han was overjoyed after getting his second characteristic, Favorable Induction.When you get a crush on someone for nothing, it means you can literally put them in your hands.

And he actually moved in secret and put 50% of those who possessed the traits Myung-Jin had gathered.

Of course, I found out later that it was the wrong choice.

In order to eat Myungjin, we had to have Hong Sang-man, or at least Seok In-su, the head of the department, rather than those with such characteristics.

However, it was already revealed, and in the game, let alone Hong Sang-man, I could not meet Seok In-soo, and in the end, I had no choice but to face Hong Sang-man in reality.

And the dill I tried.

However, the deal did not go through and he was kicked out of Myungjin.

There were rumors flying around.

So I went to Dae-Young Seo, chairman of Dae-Yoo, who is a good-natured person, but I could see why Dae-Yoo also occupies the position of one of the five largest conglomerates in Korea.

The people we all meet are chaff.

Arousing the chaff’s liking and holding them in their arms?

Rather, it only made the body heavy.

And in the meantime, Chairman Seo Dae-young’s request for information about a person named Ashirante.

Kim Seong-han quickly accepted the offer.

Of course, I had no intention of accepting it and giving the information to Chairman Seo Dae-young.

If you only occupy Ashirante, it will be a hidden card that will break through the current situation.

However.

‘Damn it! 99.5%! If this is the case, it’s as if the effect doesn’t happen at all!’

Inducing sympathy showed a truly amazing ability.

It’s hard to find the ability to make nearly 150 people with traits follow them like fanatics.

But there were also limitations.

Just the difference with the other side.

According to the gap between Kim Seong-han, who has the ability to induce favorable feelings, and the other party, the rate of generating favorable feelings was different.

So Kim Seong-han hunted really hard on his own.

In particular, there were close to 150 people who would give their lives for themselves, so they raised the level easily and quickly and wore the highest level of equipment.

So he’s never had a more than 30% limit so far.

It’s just a pity that I can’t face the other person who needs to be liked, such as Chairman Seo Dae-young.

However, 99.5% came out.

Although he was smiling on the outside, Kim Seong-han kept swearing on the inside.

Stealing people’s hearts without inducing favorable feelings is impossible for even any con artist.

And Kim Seong-han wasn’t such a con artist himself.

Anyway, Kim Seong-han leaned on 0.5% and followed Ashirante.

A week later.

I saw the Daeyu Guild.

“Ttttttttttttttt. That idiot Kim Seong-han.”

“If Kim Seong-han’s dirty snout doesn’t work, doesn’t it mean that Ashirante has special means of defense?”

“Damn it!”

Chairman Seo Dae-young was furious at the fact that as time passed, he still had not obtained any information about Ashirante.

And then, Lee Nak-seon, the head of the intelligence department, who first suggested using Kim Seong-han, spoke again.

“There is one thing that Ashirante, who was hunting regularly, did in particular when he stopped hunting.”

“quest?”

Anyway, Lee Nak-seon’s opinion became useless, but Chairman Seo Dae-young answered because he knew that his ability was genuine.

Because we are receiving information about Ashirante every minute.

“Yes. I’ve never seen anyone who hunts as regularly as Ashirante. Moreover, as it is often confirmed in the video, it is even more so to go hunting with joy all the time. However, Ashirante paid attention to the quest enough to stop the hunt. Give it to me.”

“Maybe it?”

“Yes. A quest that no one has ever broken anyway. Moreover, isn’t it a quest that has no chance of breaking itself?”

“But that Ashirante is…”

Of course, Chairman Seo Dae-young thought it would be impossible.

No matter how great the ability was, the quest was really great.

To the extent that I can’t even think that I’ll be able to wake up at a later date.

“It’s a deal with Asirante. If you can’t clear that quest, we’ll meet up and have a meal.”

“Hmm…”

Chairman Seo Dae-young spit for a moment.

Then he immediately nodded his head.

Because even Ashirante, who possesses the ability to commune with the heavens, decided that it would be impossible to break the quest.

However, neither Lee Nak-seon, the head of the intelligence department nor Seo Dae-young, did not know.
