Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 288
Advertisement
My status within Myongjin has risen dramatically, and jumped up beyond imagination.
So much so that not only Director Sok and Chief Secretary Ahn but also Kilsan Lee, the former head of the Myongjin Shelter, respected me in private as well as public places.
So, none of the Myongjin members resisted my orders.
They immediately started packing their stuff and getting ready to move.
Then I approached Maulama to say goodbye.
"It took me a lot longer than I expected. So I think I need to leave quickly."
"But you did such a great job for us…"
"Thank you for your kind words. I could escape successfully because the eighty members over there moved with one heart. So they deserve the credit."
"…"
As soon as they saw me, they pointed at me and cursed me.
So, Maulama must be aware that I was just paying lip service.
That was why they could not respond at all, as if they were speechless.
Anyway, I said what I wanted to say, so I turned and moved toward the Myongjin members.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly turned and said, "Ah, let me tell you this, Maulama. Even though I told them I didn't want it, Verdi and Ronch insisted on me receiving the rewards, so I reluctantly decided to accept. They were so polite that it was rude for me to keep rejecting their request, so please keep that in mind."
As soon as I said that, I moved along with the Myongjin members who were done preparing to return to Korea.
Inside the airplane.
"Here you are!"
"Memory Beads?"
I handed the Memory Beads to my sister, who was seated next to me.
"They should be giving me 89 billion rings! Of course, I won't be able to receive them all. Maybe I should receive half of it? Well, if I adjust the amount by half, the Novo Guild has no choice but to give them to me."

In fact, the Myongjin Guild had already received 30 billion golden rings and a lot of other rewards before I entered the Dungeon of Ordeal. But not only my father, but also my brother, my sister, my mother, as well as Director Sok insisted I should take them all because they were mine, so I had them all. Of course, I donated most of it to the Myongjin Guild except for the golden rings.
So, I decided to let them have my golden rings this time.
And aside from that, I obtained more than 60,000 coins, as well as 1100 stat points including the 300 stat points I earned by being the Quest Master. Besides, I earned a new title as well.
Of course, I could have asked the Novo Guild members for more golden rings. For example, 10 billion and 100 billion gold rings per each of the eighty members.
They probably thought that they would not have to keep their promise because I would die while breaking the crystal tower, so they would not have rejected my request.
But if I made excessive demands, the Myongjin and Novo Guilds would inevitably come into conflict. So I didn't ask them for more golden rings.
Anyway, I relaxed on my seat while the airplane was flying to Korea.
I wanted to access Revival Legend right now, but I was absolutely forbidden to access Revival Legend in an insecure place. There were lots of security breaches that had led to accidents in the past.
At the level 1500 hunting ground, the Land of Titan, the next day.
"Blizzard!"
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
[Kheeeeek!]
[Khuuuuuuuk!]
"Bingo! This is what I want!"
To make up for the past four days I didn't log in the game, I started hunting early in the morning.
Watching the titans collapsing at my attack, I exclaimed in joy because I was so thrilled with my new power. So much so that I could not understand those who refused to play this game. In other words, Revival Legend now has an inseparable relationship with mankind. And there are very few who don't know about this.

Nonetheless, it was impossible for everyone to play this game.
Why" Because just like comedians often said, somebody has to raise cattle, pigs, chickens and do farming. In other words, it was very important for everybody to do their job for society to function.
For the Myongjin Shelter in particular, not only the security force who were replacing the police force, but also those who ran restaurants or grocery stores, or even maintained the bathrooms, were absolutely necessary .
But despite all these occupations, the most important thing was Revival Legend.
So, I increased the number of users belonging to Myongjin within Revival Legend little by little, for If I increased them all at once, it would be hard to manage them efficiently.
However, there were often those who said that they were happy with where they were now, so they did not want to play the game.
Of course, I understood some of their reasons because I too was late in starting the game.
So much so that even now the highest level players were still quite far ahead of me in terms of levels even though I tried my hardest to catch up.
Despite that, I thought it was better to try than simply give up.
Anyway, I kept hunting religiously because not only the 1100 stat points I recently obtained, including the 300 remaining stat points I obtained as the Quest Master, but also my new title was very helpful to me.
[Title: One Who Overcomes Ordeals.
- This is a title that can only be obtained by one who has broken through and overcome the ordeal.
: Health increases by 100,000.
: Mana increases by 100,000.
: All stat points increase by 300.]
There was nothing special, but it was still very satisfactory.
In particular, the increase of all stat points by 300 really added to my performance.
Anway, I continued to hunt hard.
When I was about to log out to eat lunch, an announcement that everyone could see rang out.
[Thank you for enjoying 'Revival Legend' until now.
- There is something new I would like to tell you about.
: From now on, it will become impossible to create a new account in 'Revival Legend'.
-Thank you.]
"..."
The message was so sudden and unexpected.
Moreover, it was hard to accept such a message easily because it basically meant that no new users would be able to create an account any longer.
Perhaps because of that, my sister messaged me right away.
[Super Beauty: Juyoung, did you see the message?]
[Lumen: Yeah.]
[Super Beauty: Log out quickly and come to our study room. We're going to have an emergency meeting.]
[Lumen: Okay.]
Obviously, the inability to create a new account was a grave matter. The absence of new users meant that the most obvious way to advance in the game was blocked, and the number of people confronting the monsters would no longer increase.
It also meant that just having an existing account was of tremendous value.
After mulling on my complicated thoughts like that, I logged out quickly, and then moved to the No.3 Study within the Myongjin Shelter.
The message in question rang simultaneously to everyone within 'Revival Legend'.
The repercussions that the message brought about were tremendous.
Moreover, as nobody was prepared for such an unexpected situation, there was inevitably a big confusion.
Of course, not everyone stood blankly.
Those with discerning eyes immediately knew that the message distinguished 'Revival Legend' users from its non-users, so it was imperative to hire the users as soon as possible.

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
