Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 345

"Um… They must be strong. The monsters that appear in the 2700 level hunting ground are far from weak. But the thing is you're never weak either, Juyoung. Taking that into account, you might have a 20% or as much as 30% reduction in combat power?"
But I kept my expression neutral at her question.
Then she asked immediately, "Oh my God! what? More than that? No way! Since half a day has passed since the event started, everybody has figured out the most effective restriction value according to their level. Besides, this event has been rumored to favor the weak as even a 10% combat power decrease is significant for a stronger person like you. That's why I thought your combat power would not be reduced beyond 30%..."
Indeed, 30% reduction in combat power was huge.
Especially as my sister said, the stronger I was, the more my combat power would decrease.
So, if the debuff called restrictions had been applied to everyone evenly, my combat power could not have dropped beyond 30%, as my sister said.
Obviously, I could hunt even if my combat power were reduced, but it would be a detriment to collecting coins as it would slow down my hunting speed.
Anyway, I opened my mouth casually while picking up a side dish in front of me.
"90%."
At that moment, not only my sister but also other family members seemed to be startled by my words. While they were at a loss, my sister said, "So, Juyoung, what you mean is that your coin drop frequency and number of dropped coins increased by 90% because you set the restrictions to 30%, right?"
Of course, she could interpret it like that.
So I said clearly, shaking my head, "No, my restrictions are 90%. Of course, the coin drop frequency and number of dropped coins increased by 270%."
"…"
"…"
"…"

Everybody at the dinner table became silent at my words.
But as if he noticed something, my brother said, with his eyes twinkling.
"Thanks to that trait?"
Of course, I had already mentioned 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' to my family.
And I tested the trait too. But they didn't seem to consider that it would work for me this time.
To be honest, I did not consider it either.
So I nodded at him slowly.
"Wow, are you serious? You mean your trait worked, right? This must be a scam!"
Obviously, this could be called a scam, as my sister just said.
So, I simply shrugged my shoulders without refuting her.
"Gosh, you won first place again."
She was grumbling when I reacted calmly.
Slap!
At that moment my mother slapped her on the back.
"Ouch!"
"How come you are grumbling like that instead of congratulating your brother for doing well?"
"What I mean is he is winning all the time, not just once!"
Of course, I knew she was not serious because she was always the happiest when she heard I won first place in events or quests.
So I said jokingly, "Dad, if there is another level 1200 regular quest, why don't you exclude her? There are a lot who can replace her, right?"
The level 1200 regular quest was one to defend the shelter with only one possession, regardless of whether it was an item or stat or trait.
At that time, everybody did their best to win first place, but it was my trait, God of Enhancement, that decisively helped our team clear the quest. As a result, the 10 participants of our team received enormous rewards.
Moreover, unlike the level 400 and level 800 regular quests, those above level 1200 could also participate in the level 1200 regular quest, so it was one of the quests that I had been looking forward to participating in once again.

At that moment, my sister suddenly coughed up and said, "Juyoung, I honestly trusted you. Perhaps you don't know how much I prayed for you to win first place this time, too."
"Hahaha!"
Instead of responding to her flattery, I just smiled at her mischievously.
Anyway, we had a good time teasing my sister until dinner was over.
Of course, after dinner, I accessed 'Revival Legend' again and moved to the level 2700 hunting ground Garden of the Gods to hunt.
The next day, and the next day after that.
In the level 2700 hunting ground Garden of the Gods.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
[Kheeeeeeeek!]
[Khuuuuuuuuk!]
I just kept hunting, not caring about whether the monsters had one or two horns, whether they resurrected or not, and whether their combat power increased by 50% or 100% because of that.
When my high-level skills like Blizzard and Ice Tornado were on cooldown, I kept using Blink to move to the front or side of the monsters to slash at them with the +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword backed up by Ice Weapon.
And whenever I successfully stabbed a monster, an ice flower bloomed at the site of injury.
Of course, it didn't do much damage to them because the ice shattered every time the monsters moved around.
But that didn't mean there was no damage at all, so I continued to stab them with the sword uncaringly.
In the meantime, I also continued to use skills such as Ice Ball and Ice Bolt that had no cooldown because my Intellect was over 60,000.
Anyway, this was like a model hunting ground showing people what the toughest hunting looked like. But there was only one thing in this hunting ground that I regretted a lot. It offered no EXP because this was a limited event.
Except for coins, not a single item was dropped, let alone miscellaneous items.
Of course, I had no lingering affection for items or miscellaneous items.
But I really longed for EXP.
In particular, considering that this was a level 2700 hunting ground, I was confident that I could get lots of EXP, but I was so disappointed when I didn't get anything.
"Well, this is an event anyway."
I tried to shake off my disappointment by comforting myself like that.
Even if I continued wallowing in my regrets, this place would not offer EXP to me anyway.
Anyway, I continued hunting.
It was already the fifth day since the 'Collect More Coins Than Others' event started.
In the Region 9 hunting ground for level 1300.
"Hey, get rid of the monsters completely! Our restrictions are 80%, so if you don't do it right, we are finished!"
"I know. So, just step back!"
Two players were picking a quarrel there.
Since each player was given a hunting ground befitting their level, there was no choice but to question why there were two players in one hunting ground.
However, the two men conversed with each other naturally, as if it was not strange at all for them to be in the same hunting ground.
Of course, they sometimes used abusive language in the middle of their conversation.
"You idiot! Don't you remember we were almost killed by the monster that suddenly appeared before us! If you die here, it's over!"
"Damn it! Can't you reduce the restrictions to 70%? 80% is too dangerous."
"No way! There are definitely some who have some bizarre traits like ours, 'Always Together,' so I think it's a pity we couldn't upgrade it to 90%."
"But it's me who is actually hunting now!"
"You can use your natural abilities right now. So, go for it!"
"Shit!"

Letters from a Dying World
Times historic are often penned after the fact in the lifeblood of the pitiful, forgotten masses. That roiling, uncountable crush of humanity, they who held the pikes and they who threw down the tyrants. Their veins opened by gazes academic, sharp and cruel, and pecked away at with quills, written out of their own story. The Second Dark Crusade was a time of such poignancy. A time when the light of man waned and flickered, choking in the acrid smoke of its own inadequacy. As befitting of such an age it has been covered more than a capital whore, and so I attempt not to tell that story again. That story of dull, unfeeling analysis. Neither here will you find the browbeating, propagandistic screeds so common in the hands of men, the light of youth still burning behind their eyes. Nay, here I shall attempt to cover fresh ground, not tread on the grave dirt of long dead authors. Here I shall attempt to tell the story of the small lives caught, unbeknownst to them, in the great and torrential downpour that we now call history. Here lies the true story of The Second Crusade. - Loremaster Ip'Qal
