Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 27
Advertisement
There wasn't a big difference between the two VR adaptors, but the 3rd one was a little faster than the 2nd. However, I ignored it because that was not what mattered to me now.
As soon as I felt like I stepped on the ground, I started running to the blacksmith. I needed to save even one second to use the 'God of Enhancement' trait even in the future.
As soon as I entered the blacksmith, a message rang.
[You have Level 100 enhancement quests.
-Current Enhancement: 8
-You have the opportunity to enhance to a higher level safely.]
As soon as I checked the message, I took out the Enhancement 8 beginner's Light Stick from the inventory and put it in the red enhancement window for the quest rather than the original one. And I immediately opened my mouth, hoping the cooldown time wouldn't increase, though I didn't care about the increase or decrease in golden rings.
"Activate the God of Enhancement!"
[God of Enhancement has been activated.
-Enhancement success rate: 100%.
-Enhancement target: Enhancement 8 beginner's Light Stick
-Additional requirement when attempting enhancement: 495,000 golden rings.
-Cooldown time generated upon successful enhancement: 23 hours.]
Going from Enhancement 7 to 8 required 17 hours of cooldown and needed approximately 240,000 golden rings. And it took 23 hours and about 500,000 golden rings to go from Enhancement 8 to 9.
"Whew!"
I let out a sigh of relief briefly because I could manage it at this level.
In fact, I was so nervous while coming back home, concerned that I might have two or three days of cooldown.
Anyway, I tried enhancement to reduce the cooldown time even by 1 minute and 1 second. Soon, with the hammering effect, a message popped up with a firecracker going off more loudly than ever before, perhaps because I succeeded in Enhancement 9.
[You have succeeded in reaching Enhancement 9 for a Level 100 only quest.]
[In order to activate the God of Enhancement trait, you have to complete 23 hours of cooldown first.]
"...."
A couple of messages rang in a row, but I didn't care about that because the item for Enhancement 9 appeared before my eyes.

The item was a Light Stick for beginners that even a passing dog didn't care about, but I felt good because Enhancement 9 was generally regarded as the ultimate Enhancement.
Soon, I took out a +9 Light Stick for beginners from my inventory.
[You can set the effect according to the level of Enhancement.
-ON / OFF]
"OFF."
Items of Enhancement 9 or higher would have a red glow.
So, I chose OFF because I was going to catch other people's eyes.
And I opened my mouth quietly.
"Check items."
[+9 Light Stick for beginners (normal)
-It is a light stick that can be easily used by anyone.
-Increases stamina by 191.
-Durability: 17,990/17,990
-Item is reserved for the user.]
Originally, the physical attack power at Enhancement 0 was 3, and Durability was 50/50. However, the two now had increased significantly. Of course, it could not be denied that the item in question was a poor option due to its intrinsic limitations compared to Enhancement 9.
But a smile was on my lips before I knew it because I felt satisfied with possessing the +9 item, regardless of its performance.
While I was indulging in it, a message rang.
[You've got a friend request from super beauty.]
Her ID was not familiar to me, but I thought I knew who she was because there was only one person I revealed my ID to today.
"Accept."
In order to whisper to each other, I needed to be a friend of hers, so I accepted her friend request first.
[You have accepted super beauty's friend request.
-You can now whisper to her.]
[Super beauty: Where are you?]
[lumen: Is this your ID, sis?]
[Super beauty: Not impressive, right? It doesn't reflect my beauty at all, right?]
[lumen: ...]
At that moment, I was speechless at her question. But I woke up in no time and whispered to her.
[lumen: I'll be in a cafe called Lazy Afternoon on the right side of the central square of Kotum Castle.]
[Super beauty: Okay. I'll be there soon.]
[lumen: Sure.]

I turned around first because I was curious as to why my sister wanted to see me.
Two hours ago, when I left my home in Chongdamdong, my sister Suyoung Hong moved to a room too large to be a basement to talk to my father. Then, she approached him who was reviewing documents without wearing a VR adaptor. Of course, she knew that he was not wearing it at this time.
"What brought you here?"
Puzzled by her unexpected visit, he asked first.
"I saw Juyoung playing a game."
"Game?"
"Yeah. Revival Legend."
"Hmm..."
He put down the documents in both hands and groaned, with his chin resting on his hand.
Then he immediately opened his mouth, "Ex-chairman and your grandpa were very strict to me, let alone Kiyoung and you. But…"
"I know. He always doted on Juyoung. I still don't know why he loved Juyoung so much," she interrupted, crossing her arms.
In fact, it was Juyoung that her grandfather doted on more than her, and he was pampered too much. She even felt jealous when she was around him and Juyoung.
"You bet. So, out of curiosity, I asked him why he doted on Juyoung alone. In fact, Kiyoung and you were perfectly nice and pretty, and even smarter than your peers."
"So, what did he say?" she asked, leaning forward, because she had never heard it from her father.
"Well, he said Juyoung would be a big shot in the future."
"Without any reason?"
"Nope."
"Oh my god. I can't understand Grandpa," she said, shaking her head at his reply.
Confirming her expression, he immediately opened his mouth, "By the way, I don't think you came here to say that, right?"
"Well, it seems like it's been a little over a month since Juyoung started playing Revival Legend. And he says he is a Level 100 ice-type wizard."
"So what?"
"How about giving it to him? It's something you want to keep but don't want. But it will be a motivation for him as an ice-type wizard. It'll make him more passionate about games."
At her suggestion, he was lost in thought while pondering over it. Watching him agonize over it, she continued as if she didn't care, "You were planning to make him play Revival Legend anyway, right? That's good for him! As you know, forcing him to do and his voluntary participation is like night and day."
"Got it. Like you said, it's something I don't want anyway. It's not that bad to give it to him. Okay then. Give it to him, along with 5 million golden rings from the guild vault. I think that's enough for the time being."
"Daddy, please be generous! As the chairman of a large business group, you can give him more. 5 million golden rings are simply not enough. Besides, he is your youngest son, not someone else."
"..."
He could not help but be dumbfounded by her strong response. Of course, he knew her personality and he was used to it, but her announcement now was rather surprising.
Not caring about his embarrassed expression, she said while walking, "Let me take out 10 million golden rings from the guild safe. I'm leaving now, Dad. I've promised to see him in the game a little later."
Taking his eyes off from his daughter who just left the room, he focused on the documents he had been reviewing. But he put down the documents in no time and said quietly, "Hmm. Juyoung is playing Revival Legend..."
***
"Hey, Sis, right here!."
Her dark red hair that hung down to her waist and her unusually tall height were different from her in reality. I knew right away that she was my sister.
"Howdy, Brother."
As soon as she saw me, she also noticed me right away and sat down before me.
"By the way, you didn't change anything."
"Nope. I didn't feel the need to change," I said, nodding at her because unlike my sister, I didn't change anything.
