Chapter 120 – Stage Type (1)
I focused only on hunting, for there was no sure way other than hunting to make me stronger. Of course, hunting was great fun in itself, but I had nothing to do except hunting.
The Daeyu Guild members could also hunt most boss monsters on their own.
As for the level 400 and level 800 regular quests, I was done with the level 400 quest some time ago, but I had to wait a little longer before doing the level 800 regular quest because there was a considerable gap between 400 and 800.
In addition, it is unreasonable for me to look at the level 500 only quest on the heels of the level 100 and level 300 only quests when I have not even achieved level 400.
Other than that, a general quest was also very valuable, but I didn’t know where I could find one, so it was impossible for me to do one even if I wanted to.
In other words, since I had nothing to do except hunting, I just kept hunting hard while waiting for Chairman Suh to prepare a script to siphon off the Yanghwa Guild’s money.
Of course, I didn’t regret or hate such a situation.
Instead, I liked it because I always wanted to keep hunting without being bothered.
However, what I really regretted was that I could not use the tremendously powerful level 7 Ice Storm since I took off the functional skill ring.
Why did I take it off?
It was simple. The ring was simply too powerful.
As such, Ice Storm, which killed the monsters with only one shot without a linker such as Pouring Hailstone or Ice Field would probably make the Daeyu Guild members who watched me hunting right by my side wonder what had changed
They will definitely find out the reason, and quickly discover that I obtained something terrific from the random box with an accessory between legend and myth grades that I got as a reward from Monte for clearing his quest.
Daeyu will feel very envious towards me.
So, I decided that I had better hide it from Daeyu until I succeeded in skinning the Yanghwa Group and taking their money.
I needed to join hands with Daeyu for this kind of monster herding hunting.
Anyway, I hunted like that until the weekend.
At my main house in Cheongdam-dong.
“Wow! I’ve never seen a quest like this. What the hell is the probability?”
In fact, from the moment I entered the dungeon of the Salimaru Bandits and encountered the first four caves, I used a Memory Bead.
Naturally the level of difficulty was very high because the reward was so large, but I would get very valuable experiences at the end of the day by simply watching the video.
Of course, the video will be sealed tightly by the Myongjin Group right now, along with the video that filmed the kind of monsters that appeared up to the 80th Round in Path C of the level 300 only arena quest because it should not be revealed that these videos were possessed by the Myongjin.
Anyway, my sister said something after watching me and the NPC named Ingrid boasting competitively in the scene following the 4,8,16 and 256 caves in the video.
“Hey, brother, I didn’t know you were such an eloquent speaker!”
“Hey, sis, the thing is I needed to win against him using all means.”
At the moment, I could not help but feel embarrassed at her remarks because it was a childish argument over who was better, after all.
Anyway, the atmosphere was friendly while the regular participants in the basement study were watching the video.
Certainly it was an extremely difficult quest, but there wasn’t a single monster, and none of the traps gave me a sense of crisis because I had Blink with zero cooldown.
But in the next scene, however, my father, brother, sister and Director Suh had no choice but to stiffen their faces.
Of course I know why because I also did so.
“You could only get one of them?” asked my elder brother.
“Yeah, just one. Of course, I felt so sorry that I could only get one.”
I replied with lots of regret in my voice.
Watching the scene again in the video, my feelings of regret back then resurfaced.
“So, which one did you get?” my sister demanded immediately.
But I didn’t answer because she would find out anyway from the video in a little bit.
Soon, the myth grade accessory expansion spell charm appeared.
Watching it, I paraphrased, “I used it on the ring slot. I chose the ring as the newly expanded part of the accessory expansion spell charm because a ring came out of the accessory random box that I obtained from that quest. It is a legendary-grade skill functional ring.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Even at that time, I certainly thought that the accessory expansion spell charm was good, but I still missed the various treasures that caught my eyes. However, after wearing a total of five accessories, and not just the ring, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet, I had to admit that someday when I thought about it in the future, that accessory expansion spell charm might turn out to be the best item.
Indeed, I immediately felt this way after having obtained the functional skill ring, for I would have been worried tremendously if I had acquired the functional skill without acquiring the accessory expansion spell charm first.
Besides, my Sacred Permanent Snow Spirit ring had good options, and I also had the set option as I had both the earrings and the necklace.
Of course, depending on the situation, I could have alternated wearing the rings, but the fact that I could not wear the two treasures in my possession at the same time was not pleasing to me since the two items were so good.
Anyway, I was very satisfied after confirming that wearing one more accessory didn’t necessarily increase only the value of what I wore.
And it seemed that everyone in the basement study also understood it.
“Not to mention the myth grade accessory expansion spell charm, I think even the functional skill ring is terrific. You already know the power of the ring because you have already used it, right?”
Of course, I knew how powerful it was.
“Sure, I know.”
I was stunned at the mighty power of Ice Storm that killed monsters level 500 and above in a single stroke and without the help of Ice Field and Pouring Hailstone.
At that moment my sister asked, “By the way, I think I asked you this before, but let me repeat my question. Are you lucky or did you have a different starting line from others?”
Her question caused me to be lost in thought for a moment.
Luck. And the starting line with the title ‘Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever’ and the three traits of IceMan, Mutual Growth and God of Enhancement.
I thought what my sister said was right.
For example, Blink with zero cooldown that I acquired from the level 300 only arena quest before completing the quest of the Salimaru Bandits was definitely due to my luck.
However, the reason I could get up to the final 80th round was because my starting line was different.
“Well, it looks like Juyoung is a man this “Revival Legend”, which seems to act like a living creature, loves very much.”
“You bet. It’s not only me who thinks like that, is it?”
“I agree.”
When Director Sok said that, my sister, brother and even my father nodded.
Anyway, after telling them about what happened between me and the Daeyu Guild until now, I finally revealed to them about Daeyu’s Chairman Daeyoung Suh’s suggestion to me that he and I join hands to skin China’s Yanghwa Guild.
“Contrary to the general perception of Chairman Suh, he is very sophisticated and cunning. So, I guess he must be thoroughly prepared for the worst scenario. In other words, even if his shallow scheme to extort the Yanghwa Group is exposed later, he would definitely make excuses to them by arguing that he was Asirante’s victim.”
“You’re right. Given his cunning personality, Chairman Suh would never try to laugh off anything that might cause him losses.”
When Director Sok agreed with my father, I also reminded them that I was using a Memory Bead whenever I met Chairman Suh because I could afford to pay for Memory Beads whose value had now drastically dropped, and I didn’t trust Chairman Suh from the beginning.
Anyway, I left the meeting in the basement study after asking my father, brother, sister, and the Director to take special caution.
