Closed Beta I Played Alone

141. from the treasure chest.

[The root is given.]

“?”

I stared blankly at the message in front of me.

Of course, I was thinking about the roots.

But my delusions of holding the treasure chest clearly had no roots.

5000 level, 50,000 stat points, hundreds of skill points, and a random box with thousands of myth-grade items. There are many traits that have made you envious because they definitely have abilities beyond their roots.

But in the meantime, the roots came out.

Of course, there is no guarantee that anything that existed in my delusion other than the roots will come out.

However, I thought that there was no guarantee that the things that existed in the delusion would not come out in the yard where the roots that I thought had disappeared and even felt a sense of disappointment came back.

dump.

For a moment, I sat down without realizing it.

If so, I may be missing out on a great opportunity now.

Even if all these rewards are rewards from the sacrifice of the roots.

Of course, I have no intention of denying that this is a selfish thought.

But no matter how selfish the thought, it was regrettable.

To the extent that the message that rang after that could not be seen.

[A stronger root.

-Extreme pain and stress are often a springboard for new growth.

: Roots are upgraded to stronger roots.]

after a while.

“I was stupid. I was really stupid. Just like asking Genie to give you 3 more wishes, you just have to ask for 100 more treasure chests first!”

If it had, it would have been absolutely perfect.

So much so that you don't have to feel that way.

“Anyway, the roots? Roots?”

[.......]

First of all, I called the root out of fear, but there was still no response.

"after..."

A sigh that comes out of nowhere.

But after that sigh, without realizing it, a smile crept across my lips.

It is true that there is no reaction like when you lost your roots, but unlike back then, there was no sense of disappointment.

It's as if something that was lost and disappeared came back.

bum bum.

First of all, I got up from my seat and moved to the central square.

Perhaps it was an opportunity to acquire a greater treasure than I thought, but because there was no guarantee, the time was too precious to just regret it.

So, I already opened the treasure chest and it was over, so I threw it away.

Moreover, it was a pity that he did not get more in the treasure chest.

Anyway, we arrived soon at the main square of Kotum Castle.

[Currently, there are skills that can be acquired.]

[There are currently upgradeable ice-based skills.]

As soon as I got 2 skill points, I decided where to use them.

So I decided to upgrade right away.

“Ice Field, Ice Storm Choice.”

[Do you want to upgrade a level 5 ice field to a level 7 ice field?

-2 levels, 5 levels, 7 levels exist.

-5.95 million Golden Rings and 1 skill point are required to upgrade to level -7.]

[Would you like to upgrade a level 4 ice storm to a level 7 ice storm?

-4 levels, 7 levels, 8 levels exist.

-10.95 million golden rings and 1 skill point are required to upgrade to level -7.]

I wanted to upgrade the above two skills right away.

However, Blizzard, which requires 3 skill points, had to learn it, but did not want to delete the other skills, so they had no choice but to leave it as it is.In the meantime, I was able to upgrade like this by getting 2 skill points from this quest.

And there was reason to be even more happy.

That's right, brother-in-law.

Among the cucumber brothers, the younger brother had the skill master, and there was only one way to get out of it.

The existence of skill points that were not obtained through normal means through leveling up.

So, if I alone did not get a total of 5 skill points from reaching max level during the 3rd Closed Beta and active in Zone 0, I would have lost the battle with the Mitsuya Guild of Japan.

And he must have always avoided him because he was afraid.

However, it was possible to defeat the Cucumber brothers with only those 5 skill points, but now it has increased to 7 in total.

In other words, if you face each other again, the available skills will increase, and of course you will be able to cook more easily than before.

‘Heh heh.’

So, with a smile on his lips, he upgraded.

Except for skill points, Golden Ring is not a consideration for me at all.

Anyway, I finished organizing the things I got from this last limited quest in my own way and moved my steps to the teleport zone.

Of course, before that, a random box with legendary items was also opened.

There is no need to drag, and unless it is a random box that contains myth grade items, there is no need to worry too much about the legendary grade.

Any situation is good.

And in fact, a common legendary level armor item came out.

“Zeep.”

Of course, there was no pressure, but I was expecting a little.

For example, as a skill functional accessory.

'what. still...'

However, there was no such thing as too much regret.

So I passed it cool.

After that, the teleport zone arrived.

"move. A cunning vampire garrison.”

I went straight to my destination.

[Goes to the cunning vampire garrison.]

"Hello. Ashirante.”

"nice to meet you. Ashirante.”

Guards belonging to Myeongjin were still guarding the cunning vampire garrison, and they greeted me as I appeared.

I also accepted their greetings without ignoring them, thinking about when I would reveal my identity later, and I went into the vampire garrison under their guidance.

Shhh. Shhh.

Soon, vampires who are very much against me using teleportation attack me.

"okay. I also miss you very much.”

I missed them as much as they did.

So I welcomed them with open arms.

However, since only a few of them in my wide arms could not fill the castle, I immediately used Blink to dig into the vampire horde.

“Blood Storm.”

“Blood explosion.”

“The curse of blood!”

“Vampire.”

These were attacks that didn't do much damage to me even a few days ago.

But now, compared to before, I am strong enough to show a clear difference.

Intellect is also intelligence, but by increasing the stamina by more than 2700 at a time.

The mental power is half that.

Of course, that doesn't mean that you'll be able to hit them without fail, so I used the upgraded skill first.

“Ice Field.”

Pasha Sasak.

There are 2, 5, and 7 levels, and the ice field has finally reached the last level.

That's why, even though thin ice was not used, it showed considerable power by itself.

By using vampires by leaps and bounds compared to other attack skills.

“Not bad.”

First of all, I passed.

After that, I used a skill that was upgraded to level 7 again.

“Ice Storm!”

puck. puck. bubbly bubbly. puck.

Before learning Blizzard, this was my main skill.

The skill functional ring was also designated as Ice Storm.

Therefore, the 7th level Ice Storm showed its ability without regret.

"Hmm. good good good However..."

As with Ice Storm, the reason I used Ice Field first wasn't just for upgrades.

In other words, there was one item in the inventory that was currently in storage.

This is the order book to upgrade the maximum skill level received by clearing the quest in the name of Ashirante for the first time in the city of pioneers.

When this spell book is used on a skill that has reached the maximum level, one more next level will be opened.

That is, when used on an ice field that has reached the maximum level with the current level 7, the next level will be opened.

Of course, the intention to use it for the ice field in the first place was less than 10%, not even 1%.

Because I'm thinking of using it for Blizzard.

Then, considering the combination with the skill functional ring, it becomes possible to use level 10 Blizzard.

"okay. It’s too expensive to use on the ice field.”

An almost mythic-grade accessory expansion order book and an equivalent order book.

So I could not erase the thought that it was a waste to use it in the ice field.

I don't know what skills will appear in the future.

In the end, I organized my thoughts like that, and dug into the vampire horde again with Blink.

'Cause it's just the beginning

next day.

I woke up in the morning and ate with my mom and sister as usual.

And as usual, I would have logged into the game right away.

But I didn't.

Because there were people who came to the Myeongjin Shelter this morning.

I have to greet them on my father's behalf.

Anyway, it was just past 9 in the morning.

Quite a variety of sounds began to be heard from afar.

And soon it showed up.

Dozens of military trucks and dozens of tanks filled with soldiers.

It reminded me of a conversation I had with my dad last night.

yesternight.

Myeongjin's secret house located in Lodon Castle.

Late at night while hunting at the cunning vampire garrison, I got a whisper from my dad saying that I'd see him in the house for a while, so I came to the secret house.

And in the secret place, there were already my father, older brother, older sister, and even the head of the office, Seok In-soo.

Then, when I arrived, the words of my father.

“The military base will move to the Myeongjin shelter tomorrow.”

“The military… the unit?”

I was a little surprised.

Because there was already a kind of guard in Myungjin Shelter who had been training hard for the past several years at the group level, so they were united with loyalty to Myungjin.

And there were quite a lot of military veterans in the guard.

Especially those without families.

Because Myeongjin Shelter is a limited place, there are still a lot of people who will move to the shelter.

Therefore, we had no choice but to select those who did not have any family members to relocate to Myeongjin Shelter at all.

A cruel reality.

But in the meantime, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled by the word that it was a new military unit.

“Now, everyone knows that what has happened at the Taj Mahal in India is not the first and not the last. Especially in Argentina, tens of thousands of monsters appeared at once. Perhaps even tomorrow, such a horde of monsters could appear in the big city.”

Of course, it could be as your father said.But that wasn't what I was worried about.

Can you really trust the military base coming to Myeongjin Shelter tomorrow?

That was the concern.

And maybe he noticed my gaze, Dad opened his mouth again.

“We have established an appropriate friendly relationship with this government. Maybe he will remain the last president. Of course, there were some compromises and conversations. But now this government is greedy.”

“……”

Dad's soft words.

I wasn't stupid enough to understand those words.

Of course, that didn't stop Dad's words.

He looked me straight in the eye and uttered his last words.

“So I hope Jooyoung wants you to be the general manager of the shelter for the time being.”

A word with multiple connotations.

Therefore, I know that it does not mean that I should simply replace the current president of Myungjin Shelter, Gilsan Lee.

To be honest, I don't have the ability to deal with or deal with people as much as the trustworthy and outstanding President Gil-San Lee, who has gone through various important positions in Myeong-jin and took on the Myeong-jin Shelter, which is the last bastion.

In other words, my dad would have pointed me out because I have a better part than the current president, Gil-San Lee.

And that would be power.

As a result, the current realization rate that I have achieved is 28%.

higher than expected.

At first, I too had just reached 21% and thought I would stop there for a while.

After exceeding 21%, considering that the number of coins required per 1% is 3000, it will take longer than expected.

However, it seemed that the tycoon had reached level 1200 more than I thought.

And I just nodded my head to the realization rate that had risen like that and did not pass it over.

Myungjin Shelter already had a space and equipment for various tests, and I checked my abilities there from time to time.

There is nothing more stupid than not knowing one's abilities and their limits.

So how about a tank?

My ice ball was enough to smash it.

In fact, I used an ice bolt to make a big hole in a steel plate the thickness of a tank.

Moreover, I have also confirmed that if it is my ice-based magic, the person riding in the tank will freeze to death in an instant, assuming that even a systematically trained soldier is an ordinary person.

Because iron is a medium with very high thermal conductivity.

Of course, I didn't just test my attack power.

Maybe no, because in reality, defense is definitely more important than attack.

Because it is information that everyone knows, it turns out that raising the realization rate does not mean that you don't die as in the game.

In other words, no matter how high the realization rate was, a game was a game and reality was reality.

So I also did some tests.

With a rubber gun, the fastest and most reliable way.

It gradually increased its power from very small power, and later it raised its power to more than a rifle equivalent to a personal weapon.

As a result.

“Are you okay?”

At that time, I had no choice but to think that it was good to choose the stat that will grow 100% together with my stamina by growing together again.

Anyway, in conclusion, my father said to show my abilities if I had a car.

When I told myself to be the general manager of Myungjin Shelter, it had to mean just that.

And maybe there will be a commotion in the meantime.

Of course, it's my job to make the fuss as low as possible.

"all right."

I spoke to my dad like that in a rude way.

I'm not old enough to rebel, saying, 'What did you do to me?'

Moreover, I kicked myself for the right to see my handsome older brother and sister, but as a third-generation chaebol, my family and Myung-jin, including my father, gave me many opportunities.

And I was holding on to the string for fear of cutting it off perfectly on the subject of kicking the chance.

That said, this is what I had to do.

Because I have that ability.
