Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 190
Advertisement
"Wow, you are awesome!"
"How are you so powerful?"
Not only the Mirae Guild members, but also Chairman Yon and the other executive members lavished praise on my incredible performance, so I had no choice but to stay quiet until their excitement subsided.
A little later they began to ask me.
"Asirante, I'm just amazed how you could …"
"I'm also curious. I wonder what kind of region is located beyond that wall."
When Chairman Yon asked a barrage of questions, I replied quickly.
"Got it. Asirante, you have done a great job, so we will proceed with the special event 30 minutes later."
"Sure."
Honestly, it didn't matter even if they started the special event right away because breaking the wall was not that hard for me, but I had something I needed to do immediately.
I needed some time to inform my dad and the Myongjin Group executives about what happened here. The guy named Sungyop Yu and Chairman Yon clearly asked me to keep our deal secret but I had no intention of doing so because I was affiliated with the Myongjin Group.
Anyway, I secretly messaged my father and Director Sok about what happened here, then spent my time relaxing.
However, the Mirae members were not relaxed like me and were busy preparing a party limited to a total of 30 people.
Of course, nobody stared daggers at me who was the only outsider among the 30 party members because they were smart enough to know that this special event would not have been opened if I had not smashed apart the wall.
Anyway, the preparations were over as soon as a party of the best and strongest Mirae Guild members were formed. Exactly 30 minutes later, the 30 men stood in front of the wall that had broken open.
"Everybody, move!"
Even if I played a decisive role in allowing them to proceed with the special event, it was impossible for me to be the captain of the 30-member party. So I was not particularly offended by Chairman Yon being the party captain and speaking in a commanding tone.
Of course, Chairman Yon also asked for my understanding about this in advance.
In case of an emergency, the tanks would lead the formation through the opened wall.
As soon as the tanks stepped through the ball, my body was sucked into the wall, not to mention all the other members of the party.

A little later we were moved to a certain region as if we were dragged there.
I now seemed to know why they were the elite members of the Mirae Guild.
Without any instructions, the tanks quickly moved to the outside of the formation while the damage dealers and healers moved to the center.
They moved very naturally as if they had experienced this kind of situation many times.
At that moment a message rang.
[Congratulations!
-You have used a door that leads to other regions faster than anyone else.
-As a reward, all 30 people who have currently moved to another region are given 500 remaining stat points.]
They received a whopping 500 remaining stat points by just moving to another region.
Although I received more than 1000 remaining stat points several times, 500 was still a huge amount.
But another message rang as if that wasn't the end of it.
[The current place you have been moved to is Region 52.
-You can stay in Region 52 for one week, and you can earn points during your stay by hunting. A reward will be given in proportion to what you have earned.
-How to earn points.
: Just by staying alive in Region 52, you will receive a very small amount of points continuously.
: You will receive a small amount of points when you kill monsters in Region 52.
: You will receive a lot of points when you kill users in Region 52.
: You will receive a lot of points when you kill NPCs in Region 52.
-However, if you fail to survive during this one week, all points you have earned will be reduced to 0.
-If you do not connect for at least 12 hours a day, you will be treated as dead and returned to your original region.]
"..."
"..."
"..."
The message was more dreadful than I thought.
At that moment, somebody said, "Man, Region 52 is Japan."
"Alright. Reconnaissance team, you guys carefully monitor the surrounding area. Other members, stand by for a moment and invest your 500 remaining stat points!"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
At Chairman Yon's order, the Mirae Guild members moved quickly.
Since I wasn't a member of the Mirae Guild, I just looked at them blankly.
While I was standing there, Chairman Yon, Bora and Sungyop approached me.
"What will you do, Asirante?"
"Well..."

I thought about it for a moment without responding to Chairman Yon's question. I needed to deliberate whether it was better for me to move with them or move alone considering I had to survive the whole week to receive the reward.
Of course, I thought it was better for me to move separately.
Why? Because I was confident of taking care of myself for at least one week even if this region was new to me and there was no safe space for me to take a rest.
Of course, I was certain that if I moved alone, I would earn much more points than moving with them.
But at that moment, Chairman Yon quickly said, as if he read my mind, "I want you to stay with us for a week. You won't have any losses because our Mirae Group conducts business in Japan, and Japan's 'Revival Legend' is definitely within our influence. In other words, in about an hour or two, you will know of the optimal route to earn a lot of points for a week and you will have access to a safe home for rest."
"That's right. We at Mirae won't interfere with you, Asirante. We won't stand in your way. We're sure we will both be able to cooperate well together, " said Sungyop, strongly requesting me to join his party.
And I realized that they were not lying to me because like Mirae, the Myongjin Group had also made inroads in Japan.
Of course, Myongjin's entrance into the Japanese market was not only for business but also for "Revival Legend" in Japan.
In other words, it was not surprising that the Mirae Group expanded its business in Japan like the Myongjin Group because its purpose was not to suppress the latter.
Then Chairman Yon continued as if he had more to speak about.
"First place. We will do our best to support you, so you can win first place in terms of points at the end of this special event. Since it would have been impossible for us to break that wall without your help, it would have been impossible for all 29 players here, including me, to earn 500 remaining stat points. And if you are not satisfied with the results because you moved with us instead of by yourself, we will appropriately compensate you."
Chairman Yon was excessively subservient to curry favor with me.
Honestly, I know he didn't need to take a submissive attitude like this because like the chairman said, some of the Mirae players were in Japan, and by using them, everyone here could not only obtain lots of points smoothly but also have their safety guaranteed for a week.
Nonetheless, Chairman Yon reached out to me for help like this. And I knew there was only one reason he did so. It was because it would be much better if the 29 members moved with me.
In other words, no matter how many optimal routes and safe areas exist, the key of this event was not to simply survive but to earn points.
The message clearly said that the reward would depend on the earned points.
To get more points, it was absolutely necessary to have a strong player like me. The Mirae players could not even widen the crack, let alone break the wall. But I enlarged the crack easily and finally smashed the wall apart in their presence.
Moreover, with the limited skill 'Savant' and the 'Functional Skill Ring', I displayed increasing extraordinary power in a matter of minutes, like a three-stage transforming robot.
Perhaps the Mirae members would not have thought I possessed the limited skill 'Savant', aside from the Functional Skill Ring.
Of course, they wanted to solidify their relationship with me, too.
Anyway, I opened my mouth after pondering over their request to join their party.
"Okay."
I wanted to accept their earnest request, above all.
Of course, it was not just because I trusted what they said.
I already heard from my dad and Director Sok that the Mirae Group actively moved to join hands with the Myongjin Group.
Along with Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan and Daeyu, Mirae was one of the top business groups in Korea. Among the top five business groups, Daesung and Kusan already formed a solid bond through a political marriage. As a result, the media made a big fuss by reporting that there was a huge change in the power distribution of the Korean business world, not to mention "Revival Legend".
And the political marriage of Daesung and Kusan disturbed the Mirae Group, the unrivaled top business group in Korea for a long time.
So, they reached out to Myongjin, and I could understand why.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
