Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 289

At the Myongjin Shelter’s No. 3 Study.

“It seems that from now on, when screening applications for those who want to come to the Myongjin Shelter,, we have to check out whether they have accounts with Revival Legend first.”

“But even in that case, I don’t think we can accept just anybody who has an account. The reason we want to accept them is because we want to raise new users, but we can’t ignore how much money and time we need to invest in them until they can grow big and help us. We should remember our investment has sometimes failed in the past.”

“Of course, you are right. However, just as most living things, including humans, prepare for the future through producing offspring, the existence of new users is the future of mankind itself. But since there can be no more new users, everybody will feel considerable pressure and fear.”

“And, frankly, among those in the lead rankings, or even in the middle of the pack, lots of them were refreshing their determination to fight well as new users poured in.”

Everyone here expressed various opinions about the new account limit with Revival Legend at the meeting, but one thing became more and more clear as time passed by.

That was it was crucial for any guild to take good care of their members.

Of course, it was important to hire those who had accounts with Revival Legend aggressively, but at the same time it was important not to forget that all their achievements might evaporate overnight if they neglected their own members while paying attention to hiring outsiders.

The Myongjin Guild would not have to worry about it as long as I, Juyoung Hong, stayed with them in the name of Asirante.

Anyway, the meeting, which lasted for nearly an hour, ended after the participants agreed to stick to what they had been doing instead of taking any drastic actions.

As a matter of fact, some top players within Revival Legend applied to join the Myongjin Guild after they learned about me. Clearly, they judged that staying with a group was much better for their safety than acting alone in this chaotic world. And the stronger the group they were affiliated with, the better.

So, after the meeting ended, I immediately connected to Revival Legend again.

Obviously, the Myongjin Group’s executive group might be busy preparing Myongjin’s next move, but I was not part of them. My priority was to quickly raise my level.

At the level 1500 Land of Titan the next day.

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

[Kheeeeel!]

[Khuuuuuuk!]

Hunting, hunting, hunting and more hunting.

I devoted all my time to hunting from the moment I woke up early in the morning until I went to bed in the wee hours of the next day.

There were lots of incidents in the past, but this latest news about the closure of new accounts with Revival Legend was especially shocking because something unusual was rapidly progressing behind the scenes.

So, I had no choice but to become stronger so I would not fall behind or be swept aside by those changes. At the same time, I found some enjoyment in my newfound lifestyle. In other words, it was good to feel a sense of pressure again when hunting. And as always, hunting itself was always a pleasure to me.

Golden rings and miscellaneous items were not important to me these days. Nonetheless, my EXP kept piling up and my level also went up so high that I was far stronger than before.

But right now I felt pressured to reach level 1200 as quickly as possible.

In particular, I felt even more pressured after reaching level 1100.

I also felt motivated to get stronger after beating Smith’s party recently.

So, I felt something like the sense of obligation to hunt more persistently rather than just hunting for fun, which made me a little worried that I would burn out.

However, I didn’t feel uncomfortable with this kind of pressure and strain at all.

Moreover, the source of that pressure and strain started from the fact that there were people watching me with high expectations.

In other words, I was not pressured by the fact that I didn’t want to disappoint those who trusted me. Rather, I felt happy that I could surprise them by showing that I could meet their expectations and live up to their trust in me.

So, with a smile on my face, I devoted myself to hunting for almost two weeks.

After two weeks, I was still hunting in the Land of Titan.

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

Watching me absorbed in hunting like that without any break, my sister had no choice but to call me a tough guy.

As she said, I literally spent every second and every minute I had hunting in the last two week.

However, I had to make up for the four days I lost while dealing with the Dungeon of Ordeal, so I needed to hunt extra hard.

But while I was busy hunting hard, a familiar message rang out to everyone in the game.

[The new level 1200 regular quest will start soon.

-You can apply through the signs located in the central square of all castles for one week.

: Unlike the previous level 400 and level 800 regular quests, those who have already reached 1200 level can apply too.]

Until now, there were only level 400 and level 800 regular quests within ‘Revival Legend’.

I had challenged the level 400 regular quest twice, but I had never challenged the level 800 regular quest. The level 800 regular quest lasted for quite a long time, so I could not bind myself to the quest indefinitely instead of raising my level.

In its own way, the time to progress in the quest was quite long, and I couldn’t stop leveling up by attempting the quest.

After that, I heard rumors that a new level 1200 regular quest would soon be added.

Of course, I hoped the new level 1200 regular quest could come quickly because just like the level 400 and level 800 regular quests, I assumed it would be impossible to attempt the quest once my level was too high. In other words, if I exceeded level 1200, I would not be able to challenge the level 1200 regular quest.

According to the message, however, I could challenge the level 1200 regular quest even if my level was over it.

When I confirmed the message, I felt happy rather than sorry because I could challenge the level 1200 quest right before I reached level 1200, and again after I achieved it.

Of course, I was determined to win first place in all my attempts.

Anyway, I focused on hunting again after making up my mind like that.

“Blizzard!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

[Kheeeeeek!]

[Khuuuuuuk!]

Obviously, there was still a week left until the start of the level 1200 regular quest. So, there were lots of people who would find out on my behalf the information about the quest.

So I could keep hunting during that time.

At the small conference room in the Myongjin Shelter the next day.

I really obtained a lot of rewards during the level 400 regular quest.

And although I missed the level 800 quest, I still earned a lot to make up for it.

For good or bad, I wanted to challenge any quest because a quest was a quest, after all.

That’s why we met again in the conference room.
