Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 123
Advertisement
Shanghai, China.
A group of people looked closely at one video.
At the end of the video, Guo Ching, the head of Yangwha Group's Strategy Department, said, "I'm sorry for giving you the wrong analysis of Asirante."
As soon as the Yanghwa Group began to work out a plan to hire Asirante, Guo Ching once compiled an analysis of the current and future expectations of Asirante. At the end of the analysis report was the conclusion that they needed to hire him.
But even Guo Ching didn't know Asirante was such a fantastic asset.
So, he felt that the Yanghwa Group should actively recruit him.
In fact, Asirante's brilliant activities in the video showed clearly that it was not enough to just describe him as "great" or "fantastic."
Moreover, given that he only recently completed the level 300 only arena quest, the expectations for his growth would inevitably go up further.
At that moment Shu Lan, the chief external affairs executive, opened her mouth.
"Asirante's attack and defense are all amazing. But there is something even more amazing. Honestly, I just don't understand how he does it."
When she said that, the eyes of Chairman Jian Chiangrin and all the other participants in the room turned to her.
After seeing their intense gazes, she continued, "Exactly 13 minutes and 58 seconds. During that time, Asirante never stopped attacking. He kept using not only a variety of AOE skills but also single-target skills as if he had no cooldown for them which was really shocking. I've never seen anything like that before."
When she pointed it out, they all reviewed the video once again and nodded because she was right.
After that, the video continued until Asirante and Chairman Daeyoung Suh's conversation.
Cho Hong, the head of the Intelligence Department as well as the chairman's right hand man, opened his mouth after watching the video quietly.
"By the way, I have the impression that somebody manipulated the video. It looks like they are showcasing Asirante."
"What did Chairman Suh say in the attached letter?" Chairman Jiang asked upon hearing Cho Hong's impression
Shu Lan said, "Daeyu's Chairman Suh said that he spent almost 2 billion golden rings to win over Asirante personally without our knowledge, but he hasn't made much progress, so he said he would take his hands off this matter. He also said he didn't want to be pressed by our group and Asirante, adding that from now on, he only intended to act as an intermediary between Asirante and the Yanghwa Group. He asked us to reply whether we wanted to recruit Asirante by offering 10 billion golden rings or give him up."

"Hmm..."
In response to Shu Lan's explanation, Chairman Jiang groaned while stroking his chin.
Then he opened his mouth.
"Is there any possibility that Chairman Suh and Asirante are colluding to deceive me?"
Chairman Jiang was proud that he lived a tough life to make the Yanghwa Group as it was today. So, he felt suspicious about whether Chairman Suh and Asirante were trying to pull wool over his eyes.
"Well, I have not found any clues about it…"
"I think it's quite possible."
"Well, I think there is a fifty-fifty chance of them deceiving us."
The participants presented their opinion when the chairman expressed a strong suspicion.
After hearing their opinions for a minute, the chairman struck the table once to silence them and opened his mouth.
"It's fine with me even if they are trying to lead me on so long as we can hire Asirante. Contact Chairman Suh and send him 10 billion golden rings."
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay."
At the Yanghwa Group, Chairman Jian's words were law. So, they didn't dare to refute him, even though they smelled a rat in Chairman Suh's letter.
The next day.
"Wow, so fast!" I exclaimed.
Chairman Suh and his deputies never expected that Chairman Jiang would take the bait so quickly within a day after they sent him the video with Suh's letter.
"Haha. Haven't I told you before? Chairman Jiang's greed is so enormous that the average person can't even imagine it, " said Suh, smiling at me.
I said to him in a low voice, "And if things don't work out as he wishes, his anger will be so enormous that the average person can't even imagine, right?"
"Well, we have to try to make sure that things like that won't happen. Don't you think so?"
Anyway, I talked with Chairman Suh for some time while waiting for a guest from China.
Of course, the guest won't actually come from China in the real world.
And that guest could not bring 10 billion golden rings straight from Virtual China because of the so-called channel or wall within 'Revival Legend' which made it impossible to exchange with foreign countries in the game.
In other words, it was impossible to exchange golden rings and items, let alone people.
So, the guest said that he was a Chinese-Korean living in Korea.

Then, what about 10 billion golden rings?
Actually, somebody who was planted by Chairman Suh in China has already received it.
So, Chairman Suh decided to hand over 10 billion golden rings to the man who would come today and use him as a courier. It was a one-on-one exchange in China and Korea.
When the channel disappears eventually, the amount of the golden rings would still be the same anyway, so this kind of exchange was very common.
Anyway, within 10 minutes of waiting, a group of three people appeared.
"Good morning. It is an honor to meet such a famous man like you. I am Ki-sok Park. I serve Chairman Jian of the Yanghwa Group."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Asirante."
I shook hands with the man in the center. The man then shook hands with Chairman Suh, but grasped his hand for a little longer than me. It seemed that he had received the 10 billion golden rings for the exchange.
After that, we sat across a big table and exchanged views about various topics.
Park said Chairman Jiang regarded me as a very extraordinary man, so the chairman wanted to work with me. He even conveyed the chairman's reassurances that he would not discriminate against me as a foreigner, and if I felt lonely, he would create a sub guild of Koreans under the Yanghwa Guild and appoint me as the guild leader there.
Park continued, "Chairman Jiang said that talents like Asirante should fully display their abilities not only in Korea and China but also around the world. And he promised to fully support your activities."
"Well, I'm thrilled to hear that."
"Hahaha. I'm glad to hear that. Oh, Chairman Jiang has also prepared a small gift for you."
Then he reached out to me, so I held his hand.
And 10 billion golden rings appeared through the exchange window.
"Chairman Jiang is really magnanimous. He won't try to take credit for this at all. He said if you continue to work with Daeyu, he will give you more support."
"I am not sure if it's alright to receive this."
"Chairman Jiang said that you didn't have to feel pressed at all because of this."
I gently asked back out of courtesy, then accepted 10 billion golden rings.
Even after that, we talked for some time.
After this Chinese guest Ki-sok Park left, I gave Chairman Suh half of what I received.
"Here you are."
I handed 5 billion golden rings to Chairman Suh. Of course, I used the Memory Bead to record this scene. Suh must be using one, too.
"Thank you, Asirante. You really did a good job"
"You're welcome. I just want to thank you for the excellent script you have prepared. By the way, I think we need to take a break before shooting a second video."
"I guess so. 10 billion golden rings is really a huge amount, so it's not good for us to ask them for it again right away.'
"Got it."
I parted with the chairman, promising to meet next time.
But Chairman Suh didn't plan a second operation because of a message that rang all over the world at the same time.
[Good morning. I am the administrator of 'Revival Legend'.
-First of all, thank you for your interest and support in 'Revival Legend' which is celebrating its 4th anniversary. So, we have prepared a special event for the 4th anniversary.
Moreover, this 4th anniversary marks the birth of a user who has surpassed level 1200, with the new level 1200 regular quest scheduled to open soon.
I'll disclose detailed information about all this later.]
"4th anniversary?"
Of course, I accessed 'Revival Legend'three years after it started, but as far as I knew, there were no 1st, 2nd, and 3rd anniversary events.
So, I was baffled by the 4th anniversary event.
While Juyoung Hong felt baffled by the message about the 4th anniversary special event, others were also surprised and baffled because it was the first such event.
But the world paid more attention to the 'special event' that the system mentioned.

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!
