Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 242: Monsters at the Myongjin Shelter, Too(1)

Originally, I had three traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, and God of Enhancement.

Aside from them, I had another three traits once I changed into the Constellation Hunter. In other words, I had Constellation Hunter No. 1, No. 2 and No.3 traits without knowing exactly what they were.

Of course, I could figure out what No. 1 and No. 2 traits were while I was hunting and fighting.

As for the No. 3 trait, however, I had no choice but to give up on figuring it out because I could not activate it, no matter how desperately I tried to while hunting and fighting.

However, the message about the No. 3 trait rang only after I was freed from the status of the Constellation Hunter. Moreover, the system said it was calculating my activities during the week into numbers now.

In other words, it suggested that I would receive some special reward because I basically didn’t need to have my performance in numbers when I was no longer the Constellation Hunter.

So, I waited for the next message with some expectations, and it soon rang.

[After transforming into the Constellation Hunter for one week, you played the assigned role equivalent to a total of 513,752,000 points.

-Therefore, you will receive additional rewards as follows.

: 510 million golden rings.

: 5100 coins.

: 510 remaining stat points.]

I didn’t know how high the figure of about 510 million was, but the 510 million golden rings and 5100 coins, as well as the 510 remaining stat points, were definitely an unexpected bonus for me. It was a huge reward.

I smiled at the astounding numbers in satisfaction.

However, I quickly hid my smile because I didn’t have to reveal to them that I received this additional reward because they might be greedy about it if they came to know that there were other rewards in addition to 1,000 agility after they reluctantly handed the badge over to me.

Anyway, after controlling my expression subtly, I looked at guild leader Rashmaka.

“Thank you so much. When you contact me, I will return here as I have already promised.”

Since I promised to use two of the three uses of the Constellation Hunter’s Badge on their behalf, I reminded them of it to please their ears and let them know that they could trust me.

“Of course, you should keep our dealings secret!” I emphasized.

This was very important because I had no intention of making China my enemy right now.

So, although I could hunt in the Siddarth Guild’s level 1200 hunting ground with the support of several herding teams, I decided to move back to Korea today because the Hwashin Guild would not sit idle after reluctantly retreating like that.

In other words, China was scouring all of India and Vietnam to track me, or Sarnga, down.

Because of that, I gave up hunting here. Even if I was an ice-type wizard and it would be hard for them to connect me to the archer named Sarnga, it would still be a pretty big issue if they found out that I had replaced him.

Anyway, when I reassured him of my promise, guild leader Rashmaka nodded at me and opened his mouth.

“Sure. We don’t want to lose our association with you that we have barely made. Please receive this small gift.”

I certainly received a lot from them. So much so that it would feel shameful to receive more.

“Thank you.”

But I did not intend to refuse it, so I gladly received the 3 billion golden rings he gave me.

These days, the value of golden rings has skyrocketed. Because of that, there were no buying or selling of golden rings on the exchange market.

In order to increase the reality actualization rate, they needed coins, but if they didn’t have coins, the only available option was to purchase them using golden rings.

Therefore, the Siddarth Guild would miss the 3 billion golden rings they gave me, but they must have valued their ties with me more than the golden rings.

Anyway, I talked with them for a little while longer, then I moved to Korea through the owl that first appeared to me.

In Beijing, China.

The heads of the Yanghwa Guild, representing the Shanghai Group, the Chinese Government representing the Princelings, and the Hwashin Guild representing the Chinese Communist Party gathered together in one place.

Of course, this was not a sudden meeting. All three parties knew it was necessary to have some kind of communication between them because they constantly held each other in check.

So they held a meeting on a regular basis.

And the topic of their meeting this time was just one, namely, the archer named Sarnga.

First of all, they all watched the video prepared by the Hwashin Guild from start to finish because seeing was believing.

Then, at the end of the video, Li Shuang, the Chairman of the Hwashin Guild, opened his mouth.

“Have you ever seen such a strong man before? I haven’t.”

“Hmm…”

“He’s so powerful…”

When Li said that, President Xi, who represented the Chinese government, and Chairman Jiang Chiangrin, did not say anything because they also knew the archer was so strong.

Then President Xi said quietly, “This time India right after Korea…Why don’t we have such a strong player in China, the center of the world?”

Obviously, President Xi was upset, but it made Chairman Li and Chairman Jian feel very unpleasant because he spoke down to them as if he were the Emperor representing China. But they didn’t express their feelings because they knew his personality, and the Chinese Government was the biggest force out of the three guilds.

At that moment, Yanghwa Guild’s Chairman Jiang opened his mouth as he looked at the Hwashin Guild’s Chairman Li.

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up on besieging India’s Siddarth Guild?”

“…”

Chairman Li didn’t reply right away.

Then he said slowly as if he had finally made a decision, “Well, I still feel the same way. Honestly, I’m scared of this archer Sarnga, but I’m more scared of the possibility that he will ally with America. He is such a formidable guy who has beaten us all by himself, but if he joins the United States, isn’t it like giving wings to a tiger?”

Hearing that, President Xi opened his mouth.

“Hmm… I really want to mobilize all of the Chinese forces right now to get rid of not only the archer named Sarnga but also the Siddarth Guild, but this is not a matter we should solve emotionally. So I had a meeting with my staff before I came here. And my conclusion is that we should stop our march not only in Vietnam but also India for the time being because we have already taken away lots of stuff from them, and we will have more places to invade in the future once more walls collapse. So, I decided to focus on gathering more information about the man named Sarnga.”

In the end, not only Chairman Jiang but also President Xi concluded that they should wage no more war at this point.
