Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 342
Advertisement
At the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan the next day.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
Since level 1300 was not my goal, I continued to hunt like before, and soon a message rang.
[The event 'Collect More Coins Than Others' has now started.
-If you shout 'Start Event!', you will be immediately moved to the hunting ground assigned to you for one week.
-If you log out during this one week, you will automatically exit the hunting round, but you will receive the same death penalty as if you died in there.]
"Man, if anybody dies even once, they are just finished."
Since this was a one-week event, receiving the one-week death penalty meant the same as being automatically eliminated from this event.
But that had nothing to do with me.
So I immediately opened my mouth.
"Start Event!"
[You are now participating in the event 'Collect More Coins Than Others.'
-Lumen, Asirante has been allocated the level 2700 hunting ground.
-You are now being transferred to the Garden of Gods.]
As soon as I heard the message, I felt like I was being dragged somewhere, but a wide green field and all kinds of colorful flowers did not appear before my eyes.
Instead, I was greeted by the black land as if it had been burnt, and a gloomy sky as if it was about to storm right away.
So I had no choice but to say something.
"Man, these guys called gods have a very unique taste!"
It was definitely called the Garden of Gods, but it was far from the image of a garden that I had expected, no matter how closely I looked at it.
Anyway, I quickly looked around and prepared for any possible attack by monsters, but I could not see any single monster.
"Hmm. Do I have to get out of this safety zone that I'm stepping on?"

The safety zone was spread out over a fairly wide area, probably to prevent the players from suffering an accidental death as soon as they entered the hunting ground.
So I moved to the end of the safety zone using Blink, then stepped out of it.
Then, suddenly a message rang.
[You are restricted by debuffs.]
"Uh?"
This was quite an unexpected message. So I couldn't help but be a little perplexed, for the words "restricted" could not mean anything good.
Moreover, I also had the traits of All Buffs, All Debuffs.
As if they didn't want to give me time to think of the trait, another message rang.
[Anybody can set debuff restrictions as long as they have the desire and passion to take risks and pull ahead of others.
-You can set restrictions in increments of 10%.
: When you set 10% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 10%. However, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.
: When you set 20% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 20%.
However, the drop frequency of coins of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 60%.
:
:
: When you set 90% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 90%.
However, the drop frequency of coins and the number of coins dropped will increase by 270%.]
[You can set restriction settings when you move out of the safety zone. In order to change the existing restrictions value or to make a new setting, you must move in and out of the safety zone again.]
[Currently, Lumen, Asirante's restrictions are 0%.]
"…"
First of all, I carefully examined the rather long message.
Then I had no choice but to let out a sigh at the last line.
Obviously, it was a fair event because each participant was given a hunting ground befitting their level. But the fairness was gone because of the restrictions.

The problem with the restrictions was that those with a lower combat power were in a more favorable situation. If a person with 100 combat power chose the 10% restrictions, he would have 90 combat power. That was enough for such players to fight monsters at their level.
However, I obviously had at least 10,000 or more combat power.
In other words, if I set only 10% restrictions, my combat power of 10,000 would be reduced significantly to 9,000.
That's why I couldn't help but laugh in frustration.
A little later, I chose not to set any restrictions and left it at 0%.
Was it because I might die from such restrictions? Of course, that was not my reason.
Even though I was given the level 2700 hunting ground, I was not weak enough to be in danger because my combat power would drop by 20 or 30%.
However, since the event had just started, and I didn't know which monsters would appear, I thought that I didn't need to be hasty.
So I just left the safety zone and walked a few steps when I suddenly thought of something
Tramp- Tramp-
So I turned back and moved back into the safety zone, before exiting again.
A message rang at that moment.
[You are restricted by debuffs.
-Lumen, Asirante's current restrictions are 0%.
- You can set new restrictions.]
When I first moved out of the safety zone, the same message as this one immediately rang, and I questioned 'Why?' because I had the trait of All Buffs, All Debuffs.
In other words, I was not supposed to be affected by the debuffs.
But when I saw the message about the restrictions, I assumed that my trait 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' would not work because this was not the same as debuffs, limited skills or traits used by users.
A little later, however, I wondered whether my trait, 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' would not work because my restrictions were 0%.
In other words, 0% was obviously a nominal debuff that would inflict little damage.
Maybe that's why the 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' message didn't ring.
"Alright. This is just a test anyway, Let me set the debuff restrictions at 10%."
[You have set the debuff restrictions.
-Restrictions: 10%.
-In return for decreasing your combat power by 10%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.]
I just set the restrictions at 10% casually, but I was really nervous.
I was not sure if it worked, and even if it didn't work, I didn't know if I could get the results that I wanted.
Anyway, I waited for the next message nervously, and soon the message rang.
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs'.
-You are not affected by debuff restrictions.]
[Lumen, Ashirante's restrictions are 10%.
-In return for decreasing your combat power by 0%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.]
"Wow!"
I was half in belief and half in doubt.
The message showed exactly what I wanted.
So, I immediately moved back in and out of the safety zone, and again quickly opened my mouth when the message about restrictions rang.
"90 percent!"
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs'.
-You are not affected by debuff restrictions.]
[Lumen, Asirante's restrictions are 90%.
- In return for decreasing your combat power by 0%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 270%.]
