Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 83

"Are you sure that he has 50% of those with traits?"
"Yeah. Sunghan Kim is using them as leverage to make various demands of Dad. At first, they were somewhat acceptable, but when Chinese businessmen came to Korea trying to scout those with special traits, Kim, who had secured a total of 149 players with special traits, had his value jump so high that Dad could not control him."
"Oh my God…"
I groaned as soon as I grasped the whole situation.
At the same time I felt very displeased about this guy named Sunghan Kim.
After she was done explaining to me the situation, my sister cast a sharp glance at me.
"By the way, don't you remember I called you up to tell you not to come home today?"
"Hey sis, if you hang up the phone like that without any explanation, why wouldn't I come here?"
I chatted with my sister and mother for some time in the living room. Of course, while chatting with them, lots of complicated thoughts flashed through my mind because the head family of a top business group like the Myongjin Group had no choice but to think seriously about their dignity and people's perception of them.
My father, my elder brother, and the Managing Director were probably concerned about Myongjin's possible power drop in the game industry. But they might be more worried about whether the other rival business groups looked down on them because Kim and his 149 players' massive exit from the group.
The fact that almost 150 people with special traits left the Myongjin Group without being properly managed was shocking enough to make the other business groups doubt the leadership of Chairman Sangman Hong and his top deputies.
That night mom prepared dinner much later than usual.
This was because several men, including my father, were discussing potential strategies in the basement study until late at night
We had dinner quietly like before. However, I could easily find out that not only my father but also my elder brother looked gloomy and depressed.
Dad quickly put down the spoon and stood up as soon as he was done eating.
I immediately said to him, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

"I'm busy today…"
"No, I've got to tell you today."
Since these things happened, I thought I had better tell him something now instead of putting it off until another day.
Dad looked into my eyes for a moment and said, nodding his head, "Okay. Stop by the basement study later."
"Yeah."
As if she was puzzled about my behavior, my sister poked me in the ribs lightly and asked, "Why? What are you going to tell him?"
But I just smiled and said, "If you're curious, come with me to the basement study."
At the basement study.
Mom said she had a headache because of today's happenings, but I forced her to join the family meeting downstairs with my sister and elder brother.
Of course, I was going to tell them about this someday because there was no reason for me to keep it secret even from my family.
In fact, I thought about it when Dad mentioned the hidden secret of this "Revival Legend".
However, at the end of our conversation, my father didn't hide his disappointment that I stayed at level 100 for more than a week, so I couldn't bring it up.
Honestly, I initially didn't think today was the right time for me to reveal it to him, but I changed my mind after witnessing what happened today.
'I must tell him because today's happenings involved special traits.'
I was confident I could not be beaten by anybody as far as special traits were concerned.
I feel embarrassed to brag about it, but the odds of somebody beating me is less than 1 in 7 billion, for I'm the only one on this earth who has three titles.
Moreover, my traits were not simple; all of them were S and SS grade.
"Hmm. Hmm."
I cleared my throat on purpose to create an atmosphere for my confession.
In fact, I felt rather awkward to tell the truth in a situation like this.
"Hey, Juyoung, even if you've done something wrong, I'm on your side. So, don't pretend to be innocent and tell us whatever you want to say."
Clicking her tongue, my sister urged me not to hesitate, as if I was here to confess my wrongdoings.

So, I immediately got to the point, feeling that I didn't have to delay it anymore.
"As a matter of fact, I also played 'Forgotten Legend'."
"Really?" My father asked, surprised.
"Good job. Since you have that experience, I guess you're playing this game well without any difficulty," said my sister, praising me as always.
Then I let out some more details, "And I have all three special traits."

"?"
"?"
As a matter of fact, not only my father and my elder brother, but even my mother was playing this game almost against her will. It was clear that my family members knew the hidden secrets of the game more than anyone else.
As a result, they seemed to have noticed the meaning in my words immediately.
Of course, they didn't trust what I just said.
As if to show such sentiment, my sister sighed, "Whew. Juyoung, it looks like you're very concerned about what happened today, but you don't have to care about it. I have no intention of marrying a weird guy like Kim."
"She is right, Juyoung. They can't undermine our Myongjin Group," said my elder brother.
Even though they showed such a tepid reaction, I didn't press them to trust me because I already expected it.
So, I opened my mouth calmly.
"That's right. You can only believe me when you see it with your own eyes, right? Right now I'm in the abandoned field of trees In Peroro Castle with long-rooted sapling monsters.. Shall I come to you guys? Or do you want to go there?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
When I clearly repeated my words again, Dad, Mom, my brother, and my sister all looked at me with somewhat perplexed expressions.
I didn't avoid their gaze because I didn't have to.
Then Dad opened his mouth first.
"The Abandoned field of trees in Perrero Castle? Let me go there in person."
He just said those words which made the other family members take my word seriously.
Soon, they wore the 3rd generation high-end VR devices in the basement study.
Of course, it still seemed that they didn't believe me completely, but I didn't care because I was going to show it to them directly anyway.
The Safety Zone in the abandoned field of trees.
It was empty just like it was when I logged out yesterday.
So, I waited calmly.
And within a few minutes, they appeared one by one.
Starting with Dad, my brother, Mom, and my sister appeared in the teleport zone almost at the same time. All the family members met together in game.
Honestly, I never thought that my family members would meet like this in game.
"Yay! Now you look much better. Back then, you wearing those shabby clothes really made me cry," said my sister.
She was the only one who encountered me at that time when I was simply wearing rags.
Right now, I was level 200, and I was wearing Elsha's armor set with a rare grade.
When she recalled my appearance back then, it was natural that she could not believe me when I said I had three special traits.
Anyway, I quietly opened my mouth in front of everyone watching me.
"Check my status window. Open status window."
After clearing the A-grade quest "Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan", I had leveled up to level 235. After that, 64 people including Soktae Kang attacked me, but I leveled up 8 times by killing them and hunting more. And I invested all 80 stat points that I gained into Intellect.
Thanks to the Mutual Growth trait, my Intellect increased by 80, my Stamina by 80 and my Willpower by 40. Besies, I was wearing the legendary grade Brave Fighter's Bracelet that increased my Strength and Agility by 150. I received that item from the random box yesterday.
So, my current status window was so impressive that I myself could not help but admire it.
Of course, it was the same for my family members.
