Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 178
Advertisement
At the Myongjin Guild's secret house located in Rodon Castle.
After excusing myself to Veroni briefly, I went straight to the secret house where my family members and Director Sok were waiting for me.
"That's why I didn't get the level 700 only quest."
I explained to my family members and Director Sok about the unexpected message that rang only after I obtained the "Save the Zaltz Clan" quest.
As soon as I finished explaining, they started to express their opinions, starting with Sok.
"Region 29 is Russia, and this guy named Yosif is not in Myongjin's database."
"Quest Robber…"
"I've never seen such a fraudulent trait before."
Come to think of it, I also think it is a scam in every sense because so many people could not complete even a single quest in 'Revival Legend' aside from regular and limited quests. So, Yosif could gain huge benefits if he stole somebody's quest and proceeded with it whether he cleared it or not.
"So, what are you going to do now?" my father asked, interrupting me.
I had already thought about it, so I opened my mouth casually.
"I'm going to give up on my stolen level 700 only quest."
Of course, I was so frustrated and thought it was so unfair.
It was not because I was arrogant or self-conceited that I thought so.
I was really confident that I would win 1st place if I took part in the quest.
So, if not for the additional message that had rung after the initial quest robbing message, I would have considered joining hands with the Mirae, Daesung and Kusan Groups, not to mention Daeyu I belonged to superficially and Myongjin, to find Yosif by promising them that I would be of help to them in the future.
Why? Because there was no guarantee that I would have my quest stolen by this guy again.
At that moment when I was considering it, however, another message rang.
[If Yosif proceeds with the level 700 only quest that Lumen, Asirante has been robbed of, the level 700 only quest assigned to Lumen, Asirante will permanently disappear.]
When I confirmed this message, I swore hard at this total stranger Yosif, shouting, 'Son of a bitch!.'

But I breathed a sigh of relief at the next message.
[The person holding the trait 'Quest Robber' can only steal one quest per person.
-Trait holder Yosif can not rob anymore quests from you because he has already stolen your level 700 only quest.]
Honestly, I was very relieved by this message.
And at the same time, I decided to find and get even with him later.
Even if I made a big fuss over finding this Russian guy Yosif by using the Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu Guilds, there was no guarantee that I would find him in a short time. Besides, if Yosif proceeded with the level 700 only quest while I was searching for him, all my efforts would go down the drain.
What's more, I felt that it would be exactly what he wanted if I stopped leveling up and focused all my efforts to finding him. Of course, I could not be sure of his intentions, but that was my suspicion.
So, although I was frustrated, I decided to give up the level 700 only quest for now.
Instead, I just prayed that the wall blocking the different countries disappeared quickly because even if I didn't have the ability to 'penetrate the wall' or 'summon' somebody, I could beat anyone no matter how strong they were.
Anyway, I changed the topic because I had already made up my mind to give up the quest.
"I'm thinking of proceeding with another quest instead."
So, I revealed to my family members and Director Sok the quest I received from Veroni of the Zaltz clan. Of course, the quest itself was not very good.
As soon as the war among the clans started, there was a high possibility that the largest nine clans totaling 540 members would attack the weakest Zaltz clan immediately.
But no one was worried about it because my family and Director Sok knew how strong I was, and that I was now equipped with the +4 enhancement Ice Emperor's Guardian sword by reaching level 700.
At that moment, as soon as she confirmed my quest, my sister said, "Man, it's like somebody has given you the second best gift, telling you not to worry about the stolen quest. Like the proverb, 'If you can't ride a horse, ride a cow.' Hahaha."

I totally agreed with her.
Besides, I got to find out why the message about the 700 level only quest didn't ring.
Anyway, we wrapped up the meeting after Director Sok promised me that he would give me the relevant information about the Glue Plains after investigating a little.
Right after the meeting, I did not immediately go back to the Zaltz clan's Veroni because I wanted to buy a new armor set first. I was now level 700 and possessed a huge number of golden rings, so I should buy an armor set befitting my level.
My current weapons and accessories were top of the line, so I didn't have to replace them. But, I could replace my current armor set with a better one.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if I don't replace it. But I thought it was a stupid thing to not replace it when it was an easy way to increase my power, so I went straight to the auction house and bought a new armor set suitable for level 700 by spending 500 million golden rings.
Then I returned to where Veroni of the Zaltz clan was waiting for me.
At the Glue Plains.
At first, I had some questions about why I had to follow her because as long as I knew where she was, I could reach her by using the teleport zone located in each city or castle.
However, we did not use the teleport zones to reach the Glue Plains.
Veroni said "I have returned" without telling me exactly where we were.
So, I was slightly offended because I felt like she didn't want to tell me where the Glue Plains was.
At that moment, however, Veroni opened her mouth.
"Sorry. Asirante. The Glue Plains is a sacred land that has been given only to the ten clans including the Zaltz, Lotz, and Hanz, starting from distant ancient times. Therefore, there is no teleport zone here, and only a small number of our ten clans can come and go out of this area. In principle, outsiders are forbidden from this area. However, in this case, the 'Glue Council' has decided to amend this rule, so that a certain number of outsiders assigned to each clan can enter and exit this place."
It would have been nice if she had told me about this in advance, but I didn't point it out. That being said, I did interrupt her initially to go discuss with my family before hearing her full explanation. My family was waiting for me in the secret house of Rodon Castle, so I asked her to wait for me briefly after accepting the quest.
"I see.'
I nodded at her explanation, then followed her. Shortly afterwards, we reached a large settlement that was only a little smaller than a city.
"This is the first residential area of the Zaltz clan. There are a total of 29 settlements in this vicinity, including this one, all of which are the territory of the Zaltz clan."
"Wow, it's pretty big."
Given that this place was the first residential area of the Zaltz clan, I could guess the Zaltz clan's territory was very huge. And I could guess the rest of the Zaltz clan's settlements were also rather large without exception.
However, when I heard what she said next, I realized that I had underestimated the other clans.
She continued, "The Lotz clan, which is the most powerful, has more than 70 settlements like the 1st residential district of the Zaltz clan. Besides, the Lotz clan has 500 other settlements."
"..."
They clearly called it the Glue Plains, and called themselves clans. So I thought they were like pioneers or nomads living in a relatively small area.
But, as if to ridicule my original thoughts, the size of their territories was much bigger than I thought.
In any case, I followed her into the first residential district of the Zaltz clan, and immediately moved to the big building in the center.
Then I saw several people dressed in colorful suits waiting for me outside.
