Chapter 294 - Fantastic Effect of Item (4)
Chapter 294 – Fantastic Effect of Item (4)
At that moment, I could not help but rejoice because I could conclude that I was supposed to not only block the monsters but also explore the plains to clear the level 1200 regular quest. In other words, I was supposed to do both of these things together. If exploring was useless, it would be impossible for me to find this kind of item. Moreover, the orcs I killed initially on the path to the Last Shelter did not drop these ‘soul spheres of a monster shrouded in darkness’.
In other words, this was an item that I would not have known about if I hadn’t explored.
So, instead of messaging my sister directly, I talked to her through our party window.
I could explore the plains now because only weak monsters appeared since we were still in the initial rounds of this quest, but if stronger monsters appeared later, I would not dare explore because I had to defend the Last Shelter. So, I had to time my explorations properly as it would have a huge impact on me winning first place.
Even without exploring like this, I was confident that I could win first place simply by blocking the monsters attacking the Last Shelter. But I’ve met quite a few people recently who had extraordinary abilities that I had never even imagined
So, I decided to do the best I could here.
[Lumen: Brother, you said that the monsters appeared at the same interval, right?]
[Kiyoung Hong: Yeah. Kobolds appeared only 3 hours after we blocked the orcs.]
[Lumen: I think we have to explore as well because I got this item. Disclose item!]
I displayed the monster’s Soul Sphere of a Monster Shrouded in Darkness’ on our party window so all of them could check it out.
[Lumen: Only fair weaks appear in the initial rounds. Also, given that there is a break between the monsters appearing, I think this means that we should explore and secure additional areas in this Jaya Plains.]
That was all I could infer at this point.
And no one disputed my opinion because it was easy to defend during the initial rounds.
So, after reporting my findings to our team, I kept moving forward.
At the Last Shelter of Team No.1 of Japan’s Mitsuya Guild.
While Juyoung Hong was busy hunting, the Mitsuya Guild’s top executives were watching a video that showed him hunting the monsters.
“The monsters are appearing at a very slow rate.”
“Yeah. What’s more, they are weaker than we thought.”
“Hmm.”
Chairman Ryu Sechi let out a groan, then started pondering.
At that moment, Kimoshita, the head of the intelligence department, opened his mouth.
“Thanks to your foresight, sir, we have secured enough golden rings. As things stand now, I think we can block the next monsters easily. Why don’t you send an exploration team? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for us to know what’s out there?”
“Good. First scout the next group of monsters, and if they are still weak, I will organize an expedition team.
“Understood, Chairman!”
With the chairman’s approval, Mitsuya Guild’s Team No.1 also decided to explore the plains.
At the Last Shelter of the Mirae Guild.
“We’re going to organize an expedition team.”
“Yes, sir!”
The Mitsuya Guild and the Mirae Guild decided to explore almost 12 hours after they started the quest. Of course, they were not slow. Compared to the thousands, or tens of thousands of teams that participated in the quest, they were pretty fast.
However, there was a team that started exploring as soon as the quest started.
What’s more, the team included a player whose items boasted of the best item effects.
On the other hand, there were some teams who still hesitated to explore.
More precisely, most of the teams refrained from exploring because they, who had little golden rings, could not afford to buy the expensive items, which meant that they had to proceed with the quest without any proper defense armor.
Anyway, the thousands or tens of thousands of teams defended their Last Shelters in their own way.
And even though some teams didn’t have golden rings, their members still had one good item or skill.
In the Jaya Plains where the quest was taking place.
The Soul Sphere of the Monster Shrouded in Darkness did not drop frequently or infrequently. However, considering that it took 200 soul spheres to activate one teleport zone, it was difficult to say the soul spheres dropped frequently.
So I moved further into the plains because I decided to save the soul spheres I accumulated so I could use a teleport zone far away immediately if I was required to return at once.
Of course, there were quite a few things that caught my eyes other than the soul sphere.
They were Precious grade items, which were beyond the General and Rare grades.
And every time I obtained a Precious grade item, I wanted to return right away, for I could only enhance the items to +15 enhancement at the hut, and if I handed them to my team members, they would be able to protect the Last Shelter better than before.
Above all, I could go on exploring when our Last Shelter was safe.
And one of the items that I obtained was very interesting.
[Blessed weapon enhancement stone.
-This is a weapon enhancement stone that you can only obtain from the Jaya Plains blessed by the goddess.
: When using this stone to enhance a weapon, the weapon will not disappear even if the enhancement fails.]
The so-called Blessed Enhancement Stone.
Of course, there were not only weapon enhancement stones, but also armor enhancement stones.
And these were useless to me, they were very useful to my team members protecting the Last Shelter.
“Hahaha.”
Looking back, I was really happy all the time while playing Revival Legend. However, I was most happy during the time when I played right after accessing Revival Legend after I was done with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Closed Betas. I was given enormous privileges as if I was the star of the whole world, and I was granted a completely different start from others.
Strangely enough, I felt the same now.
That’s why I kept smiling before I knew it.
“Good. Now, I wish I had some accessories…”
Of course, accessories could also be enhanced by my trait, God of Enhancement.
So, as soon as an accessory appeared, I could upgrade it to +15 Enhancement instantly.
Besides, there were a lot of people who I could give accessories to if they were not suitable for me.
Anyway, I continued exploring the plains with a smile on my face.
Shuuuuuuung! Shunnnnnng! Shunnnnnnng!
Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuuk!
I kept killing the monsters with one strike, as usual.
In the Jaya Plains where the level 1200 quest was taking place.
“Log out.”
If I could have my way, I didn’t want to log out.
However, I had to take a break so I could hunt properly tomorrow because I stayed logged in for over 17 hours except for a couple of short breaks when I had to go to the restroom.
Of course, I wasn’t the only one logging out.
Unlike me who was exploring, the nine players guarding the Last Shelter worked on a rotation basis.
The level 1200 regular quest would not end in an hour or two. As if to prove this, there was a 3 hour break in between the monsters’ attacks.
So, we formed a defense team, an expedition team and a break team.
Anyway, I logged out and went to the kitchen. But there was somebody already there. It was my sister.
