Closed Beta I Played Alone

Episode 187. Events for me (2).

Hunt and duel Again hunt and duel.

Repeated it for several days.

Of course, the result was always the same.

It was my victory with one-shot one-kill.

That much, no matter who the opponent was, I couldn't withstand a single shot of my punishment ice.

And along the way, I met some nice people.

One of the cucumber brothers belonging to the Mitsuya Guild in Japan.

30 seconds of waiting time before the duel.

During that time, there was a wall separating me and the other person in the center, but it was possible to figure out who the other person was because it did not completely cover the figure of the person beyond the wall.

So I said hello first.

The other person's face hardened as soon as they saw me, so I didn't have time to say hello.

“Oh… your brother?”

Of course I know the name.

Because their characteristics were so enviable that I can remember their names.

Especially since he is an ice-type wizard who attacks skill-oriented, his younger brother Oitsuki is more of a skill master than his older brother's item master.

But I deliberately pretended not to know.

Because that was the bare minimum of pride for the one who gave me my first trouble.

And the reason I could be so confident in front of the first person in trouble was because I now know the only weakness of the skill master.

Skill points that are specially acquired through events or quests, rather than being given equally to everyone in a set section.

In other words, even if all skill use was controlled by the skill master, it was possible to use a skill equal to that special skill point.

So, it was possible to flatten Cucumber Brothers' nose with 5 skill points at the time.

But now, with the 900 level limited quest and the 1200 level regular quest, there were more special skill points than then.

In particular, during the 1200 level regular quest, he acquired a whopping 3 skill points.

In other words, I had no choice but to be more confident than I was back then.

What's more, the enemy has decreased by one from that time.

"Damn it! If I meet you Ashirante already...”

“Your luck ends here.”

It reminded Oitsuki, who frowned and blurted out, a cold reality.

He spread his shoulders with him and gestured to him to go ahead and do the attack.

That way, you can set the skill to use again.

Like punishment ice, for example.

However.

“I abstain from this duel.”

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

The central barrier has not yet disappeared.

However, Oitsuki gave up the duel itself.

Instead, he uttered other words along with his abstention.

"Damn it! Why is it in the same area as you? If it wasn't for you, I could rise to a higher rank!"

“You told me before. That is your luck.”

Perhaps, without me, not only Oitsuki, but also her older brother Oizuki, who has the trait of being an Item Master, would have been able to reach a high round or maybe even the championship.

That's because it was still the ability that I coveted first with Smith's 200% realization rate of reality.

However, as long as you are in the same area as me, it is an impossible dream, which means that it will only be a dream for the rest of your life.

As long as it is already in the same area as mine, even if the area is released in the future, you will still be in the same area.

Until later, all the zones are merged into a single zone.

Anyway, with those words, he was thrown out of the arena, as always.

And what caught my eye was the land of the 1500 level hunting ground Titan.

As always, the hunt continued as if nothing had happened.

next day.

In addition to meeting Oi younger brother among the dueling opponents, there were also some unusual cases.No, I was able to meet someone more like a con artist than in an unusual case.

as soon as.

“I am a member of the Yanghwa Guild, and if you abstain here, I will compensate you accordingly. Do you even know what the Yanghwa Guild is like?”

Of course I know.

One of the three major guilds in China, and its president, Jiang Jianglin, had a hand in hand with Daeyou's Chairman Seo Dae-young and beaten him.

But it's a bit of a letdown for me, but now honestly, I'm the more famous.

However, the author who does not know the more famous me would not be in a high position even if he was a member of the real Yanghwa Guild. Of course, if I had no chance of getting into the round of 16, let alone first place, it might be hard, but first place seemed so easy.

It's like taking something out of your pocket.

therefore.

"okay? But what? These days, the price I get is tens of billions of dollars in gold and tens of thousands of coins, so to match that, I would have to become the president of Jang-Gang An-Rin, not the one belonging to the Yanghwa Guild...

Along with those words, the punitive ice was thrown at the opponent who was making a confused expression.

And, unlike the exciting appearance, the opponent was over in one shot, just like many people he had faced before.

Anyway, as the rounds went on, I met several opponents, but the tournament continued with the same result.

a few days later.

Dinner time at Myungjin Shelter.

“Of course you would win, right?”

nod nod.

Instead of answering her sister's words, she nodded her head slightly.

Because it was so natural.

And this time my father opened his mouth to my reaction.

"Now that the remaining 128 is... it's not much left."

"Yes."

Now that there are exactly 128 people left, there was a lot of talk about who will remain until the round of 16, where the winner or reward is given, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Because I win anyway.

Of course, as the rounds went on, there were parts that I was a little worried about.

Not only the Cucumber Brothers, but also the appearance of those who have characteristics or limited skills that I did not expect, such as parasites.

But nonetheless, he was sure to win.

What I have is definitely out of the general category for quite some time.

That's why we've all won so far.

Anyway, I don't need to worry about something that won't happen yet, so I gathered my thoughts there and turned my attention to someone who was having a meal.

right sister.

“Congratulations to noona for the round of 128 too.”

"Hehehe. What a good luck.”

As far as I know, until the round of 256, there were several members of Myungjin.

However, there was only one sister who crossed the threshold of the 256 and stepped on the high of the 128.

That's why I'm babbling like that.

So, I opened my mouth jokingly to erase my older sister's smirk.

“Then the chances of meeting you and me in the next round are pretty high, right?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

It was clearly said as a joke.

However, not only did the smile on her sister's lips disappear, but there was also a cold chill at the dinner table.

It's like putting on an ice field.

"haha. I'm kidding. can i meet you There are 126 other people besides my sister and me.”

But the next day, I decided that I should not joke around as much as possible.

The arena where the event is held the next day.

“……”

“……”

While there was a transparent wall in the middle, neither I nor the other person could utter a word to each other at the familiar sight on the other side.

Then the other person spoke first.

“ Hong Jooyoung! Fuck you!”

“……”

The profanity that came out first.

Obviously, his reputation has risen to the point where he doesn't eat such profanity wherever he goes, but he couldn't refute it this time.

Because the other party was my sister.

At that time, Beijing, China.

“Huh. Heh.”

At the headquarters of the Chinese government's 'Revival Legend', one of the three major powers representing China along with the Yanghwa Guild and the Huashin Guild, someone took a long breath.

Then he opened his mouth to the person sitting at the top.

“Huh. huh. The operation just succeeded.”

"okay? Good work. Go and rest.”

"Yes."

The man who was gasping for breath at the words of President Xi, who was seated at the top, quickly escaped outside.

And seeing that, those sitting under President Xi opened their mouths.

“As the number is decreasing, it seems that there is a lot of difficulty in using trait manipulation.”

“But this time it was necessary.”

"Yes. Since I attached blood and blood to Ashirante, maybe... Moreover, because it is blood and blood, Ashirante might make concessions, right?”

Those who looked at President Xi who was seated at the top and spoke a word.

However.

“Ttttttttttttttt. In any case, no real life was at stake. What's more, the Hong family, who is leading Myeongjin, is just giving up Ashirante, a power that can win the championship, only to advance to the next round of other blood relatives? Do you think the Hong family is that stupid?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Those who uttered their opinions one by one in response to Xi's words kept their mouths shut.

Seeing this, President Xi opened his mouth again, kicking his tongue.

“I gave up on winning anyway. So, we decided to plant as many people as possible as greetings from our side. How long do you have left?”

"Yes. Due to the manipulation of the draw, there are currently more than 50 of our staff out of 128. Also, since we drove as far away as possible the strong people who are not on our side, including Ashirante, even if we don’t reach the round of 16, I think it will be possible to fill in more than 10 people with greetings toward us.”

"great. But what about the archer named Sareungga?”

“It is understood that you did not participate in the event.”

“Hmm… a strong player who is guaranteed the ranking just by participating doesn’t participate? Again, as rumored, is it a transformation with a time limit due to items, limited skills, or characteristics? That’s why I didn’t participate in this fairly long event.”

“I don’t know that yet. However, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance has predicted that the probability of this will be more than 50%.”

“Hmm… Anyway, for a while, he boasted more than Ashirante. Take a good look again. Maybe it will be of great strength.”

"Yes!

"all right!"

Having said that, President Xi stood up.

In order to win by abstention due to abstention of the same side according to the draw changed by manipulation.

inside the arena.

Giving up here for your sister?

Of course, I had no intention of doing so.

Because it has no benefit to me, my sister, or Myungjin.

In other words, if my sister had a more than half chance of winning 1st place, she would think about it for about three seconds.

Because I have a 99.9% chance of winning, not half.

In other words, I had to advance to the next round unconditionally.

And since I'm not the older sister who doesn't know what I know, she opened her mouth with a smile on her lips.

“I got the butt. Heh heh.”

OK.

"know? That if I do it right, Hong Jooyoung can annoy you terribly?”

"Eww. know."

big age difference.

And it was the same with my sister.

So when I was young, I mostly played with my sister, and I was always in a role where I was bullied.That's what my sister is saying now.

“If you don’t win first place, you will be reminded of your childhood memories.”

I couldn't help but tremble a little at my sister's words.

Then he quietly opened his mouth.

“I didn’t even think of anything other than first place anyway.”

“Ugh. My little brother has grown up a lot. Then I'm busy I abstain!”

The cry of the sister's resignation.

A message rang with him.

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

And they won the round of 64, the round of 32 and the round of 16.

a few days later.

Now that there are exactly 16 people left, there has been a lot of talk about that aspect.

Especially from the round of 16, it was a section where rewards were given.

But then.

“China… surprisingly strong.”

In-soo Seok's words.

At those words, I turned my attention to the remaining number of people, and I thought that I was a little surprised to find that 9 out of 16 were Chinese.

Of course, China boasted a huge number of people.

But that doesn't mean it's the highest level.

And at that moment, Director Seok In-soo rummaged through the list of the round of 32, round 64, and round 128, and spoke softly.

“Perhaps China, or more precisely, the Chinese government controlled by President Xi, has someone with the ability to manipulate the draw. Of course, it doesn't seem to be the operator. If you were an operator, you wouldn't have made such a rare mistake."

With that said, I also checked the list that Director Seok In-soo had checked.

After that.

nod nod.

I couldn't help but nod my head.

Of course, it wasn't perfect as Director Seok In-soo said.

That's not to say he's an operator.

So I quietly opened my mouth.

“Then you mean my opponent in the final is Iza.”

I spoke out while taking pictures of President Xi who was in the round of 16 exactly, and to my words, Director In-su Seok and everyone in the conference room did not respond separately.

next day.

16 rounds.

“I abstain.”

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

8 river.

“I abstain.”

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

4 river.

“I abstain.”

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

successive withdrawals.

Of course, I didn't think it was that strange.

Reaching the round of 16 means that he belongs to a large guild in his own way, not just at the level he belongs to, but occupies a place, and the result must have been that clear.

And, as expected, the final finalist was him.

“Heh heh heh. It's nice to meet Ashirante, who has such a great name. Oh, should I say Hong Jooyoung?”

“It doesn’t matter what you call it. President Xi.”
