Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 404

But soon I knew what he meant by “investing” in me. In fact, Chairman Yon invested 50 billion golden rings in me and Mongolia’s Tugal Guild Chairman Tamir invested 30 billion golden rings in me.

Of course, if they thought their massive investment alone was a gift for me, I would not welcome it because I already had huge amounts of golden rings.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to see another ‘gift’ when I came out of the dinner hall with my father, Chairman Yon, and Chairman Tamir into the huge conference room, where there were more than 100 people waiting for me there. Of course, it was so I could trade for coins with them.

“Isn’t your reality actualization rate the most important thing, right? So I’ve gathered them here like this as a gift for you,” said Chairman Yon.

As soon as Chairman Yon said that, a guy stepped to the front of the group and opened his mouth.

“My name is Sangchol and I am with the Mirae Guild. It is nice to meet you like this. Can I ask you to trade coins? .

He held out his hand, so I gently grasped it, nodding at him.

At that moment, a message rang.

[The other party has asked to exchange 3,100 coins with you.

-The number of golden rings you currently store in your inventory is 196,548,715,581.

-When you accept his request, you will spend 3.1 billion golden rings as a commission fee.]

After all, golden rings were sort of a commission fee for the convenience of coin transactions. In that respect, this was the real gift for me.

The coins were a gift of great value that could not be compared with golden rings.

So I began to exchange my golden rings with their coins to the point that I obtained a total of 50,000 coins from the Mirae Guild, and a total of 30,000 coins from the Tugal Guild. The Tugal Guild gave 20,000 coins fewer than the Mirae Guild.

Obviously, the Tugal Guild wanted to curry favor with me by offering their coins, but it could not be denied that they were smaller and weaker than the Mirae Guild. To be honest, without the Myongjin’s help, the Tugal Guild would have trodden the same path as the several guilds in Vietnam that had been devastated by India and China. Anyway, I ended up obtaining 80,000 coins in exchange for my golden rings.

But the moment I thought I was done exchanging coins, there was something more.

In other words, the Myongjin Guild that I belonged to also gave me a gift.

My father gave me a whopping 70 billion golden rings, but I declined it.

For the gifts that I received from outside were definitely beneficial to me and Myongin, but a gift from Myongjin was like cutting off my nose to buff up my face. Moreover, I certainly did a lot for Myongjin, but I also received a lot from them. For example, I received as many as 100,000 stone squirrels’ undigested mineral masses, which I later exchanged for 100,000 coins.

When I declined my father’s request, he responded quickly, “I hope you won’t block me from investing in an item whose value will be greater in the future than today. Your dad wants to be a smart and successful investor, son.”

“…”

In the end, I received the 70 billion golden rings from him. Moreover, the coins that my father prepared for me were not simply 70,000 because he clearly knew how many golden rings I had for now. In other words, he prepared as many as 110,000 coins.

So I could end up obtaining the corresponding coins by using the 70 billion golden rings I received from my father and the 40 billion golden rings I originally had.

I received 50,000 coins from the Sayens Guild of Argentina. In addition, the Mirae Guild invested 50,000 coins, the Tugal Guild invested 30,000 coins, and the Myongjin Guild that I belonged to gave me 110,000 coins, so I now had a total of 240,000 coins in my inventory.

After that, we went back to the banquet hall and had a good time.

The next day.

After attending the dinner party that lasted late into the night, I had breakfast with my family, then saw off the guests from the Mirae and Tugal guilds as they returned to their main bases. After that, Myongjin’s ties with them became stronger and more solid.

And in the meantime, I bumped into Bora Yon, Chairman Yon’s daughter and his heir. Since I already conversed a lot with her last night, I didn’t say much more. When they left, I also left right away and accessed Revival Legend.

“Move to Kotum Castle.”

[You are now moving to Kotum Castle.]

This time I didn’t need to visit the blacksmith or learn a skill.

I came to this place because this was the most familiar place before I left for better hunting opportunities.

Then I opened my mouth softly.

“Confirm my reality actualization rate.”

[You currently have the level 1200 privilege ‘Reality Actualization’.

-Currently Asirante’s reality actualization rate is 107%.

-You need 12,000 (-1,000) coins to increase your reality actualization rate by 1% up to 110%.]

When I saw the requirements for going up to 110% Reality Actualization rate, I realized that the title of ‘First Achiever of 100% Reality Actualization Rate’ was better than I thought.

After all, by raising the rate from 100% to 107%, I saved a total of 7000 coins because I spent only 11,000 coins instead of 12,000 coins per 1%. Considering the coins that I would have to spend in the future, I would be able to save an enormous amount of coins.

Anyway, I did not intend to save the 240,000 coins forever, so I immediately raised my reality actualization rate even more and it soon reached 110%. After that, I needed to spend 14,000 coins to increase my reality actualization rate by 1%. But thanks to my title ‘First Achiever of 100% Reality Actualization Rate’, I received a discount of 1,500 coins, so I ended up using only 12,500 coins.

After that, I even achieved as high as 120% reality actualization rate.

[You have the level 1200 privilege ‘Reality Actualization’.

-Currently Lumen, Asirante’s reality actualization rate is 125%.

-You need 16,000 (-2,000) coins to increase your reality actualization rate by 1% up to 130%.]

My reality actualization rate was a whopping 125%.

Of course, it does not have influence within ‘Revival Legend’. But it had a huge impact in reality. I have already felt the impact of my 107% reality actualization rate.

After they were done investing coins in me, a message rang not only to me, but everyone else as well. It was like an official announcement.

[Hello. This is ‘Revival Legend’.

– We will inform you of some changes.

: As of now, the 1100 level privilege ‘Coin Exchange’ will be deleted.

In other words, it is no longer possible to exchange coins using golden rings except in exceptional cases.]

“What?”

Even though it required a ridiculously expensive commission fee to exchange golden rings for coins, this kind of coin exchange was very important. Even though it was said these days that it was optimal to grow by last hitting monsters in the hunting grounds and collecting the dropped coins, coin exchange was still the best way to funnel the growth of a specific player.

With this announcement, however, such a route was now blocked.

At that moment, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew!”

If I hadn’t exchanged coins yesterday, I would have been trapped in this new rule that would block my further growth in the future.

Nonetheless, I had no choice but to feel frustrated and dissatisfied.

At that moment, another message rang.
