Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 345: That Name Again (1)

“Um… They must be strong. The monsters that appear in the 2700 level hunting ground are far from weak. But the thing is you’re never weak either, Juyoung. Taking that into account, you might have a 20% or as much as 30% reduction in combat power?”

But I kept my expression neutral at her question.

Then she asked immediately, “Oh my God! what? More than that? No way! Since half a day has passed since the event started, everybody has figured out the most effective restriction value according to their level. Besides, this event has been rumored to favor the weak as even a 10% combat power decrease is significant for a stronger person like you. That’s why I thought your combat power would not be reduced beyond 30%…”

Indeed, 30% reduction in combat power was huge.

Especially as my sister said, the stronger I was, the more my combat power would decrease.

So, if the debuff restrictions had been applied to everyone evenly, my combat power would have dropped by 30%, as my sister said.

Obviously, I could hunt even if my combat power were reduced, but it would certainly stand in the way of me collecting coins quickly because of my slower hunting.

Anyway, I opened my mouth as if it was not a big deal, picking up the side dish in front of me.

“90%.”

At that moment not only my sister but also other family members seemed to be embarrassed by my words. While they were at a loss, embarrassed, my sister said, “So, Juyoung, what you mean is that your coin drop frequency and dropped coins are 90% when you set the restrictions to 30%, right?”

Of course, she could interpret it like that.

So I said clearly, shaking my head, “No, my restrictions are 90%. Of course, the coin drop frequency and dropped coins are 270%.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everybody at the dinner table became silent at my words.

As if he noticed something, however, my brother said, with his eyes twinkling.

“Thanks to that trait?”

Of course, I once mentioned ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’ to my family.

And I tested the trait, too. But they didn’t seem to think that it would work for me this time.

To be honest, I did not, either.

So I nodded at him slowly.

“Wow, are you serious? You mean your trait has worked, right? This must be a scam!”

Obviously this could be called a scam, as my sister just said.

So, I simply shrugged my shoulders without refuting her.

“Gosh, you won first place again.”

She was grumbling when I reacted calmly.

Slap!

At that moment my mother slapped her on the back

“Ouch!”

“How come you are grumbling like that instead of congratulating your brother for doing well?”

“What I mean is he is winning all the time, not just once!”

Of course, I knew she was not serious because she was always the happiest when she heard I won first place in events or quests.

So I said jokingly, “Dad, if there is another level 1200 regular quest, why don’t you rule her out? There are a lot who can replace her, right?”

The level 1200 regular quest was one to defend the shelter with only one thing they had, regardless of whether it was their item or stat or trait.

At that time everybody did their best to win first place, but it was my trait, God of Enhancement, that decisively helped our team clear the quest. As a result, the 10 participants of our team received enormous rewards.

Moreover, unlike the level 400 and level 800 regular quests, those above level 1200 could also participate in the level 1200 regular quest, so it was one of the quests that I had been looking forward to once again.

At that moment my sister suddenly coughed up and said, “Juyoung, I honestly trusted you. Perhaps you don’t know how much I prayed for you to win first place this time, too.”

“Hahaha”

Instead of responding to her flattery, I just smiled at her mischievously.

Anyway we had a good time teasing my sister until dinner was over.

Of course, after dinner, I accessed ‘Revival Legend’ again and moved to the level 2700 hunting ground Garden of Gods for hunting.

The next day, and again the next day.

In the level 2700 hunting ground Garden of Gods.

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

[Kheeeeeeeek!]

[Khuuuuuuuuk!]

I just kept hunting, not caring about whether they had one or two horns, or whether they were resurrected or not, or whether my combat power increased by 50% or 100% because of that.

When the cooldown of high-level skills such as Blizzard or Ice Tornado did not come back because of my hunted hunting, I kept using Blink to move to the front or side of the monsters to brandish the +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword backed up by Ice Weapon.

When I successfully stabbed them, ice flowers bloomed where it was stuck.

Of course, that didn’t do much damage to them because the ice was smashed every time they moved around.

But that didn’t mean there was no damage at all, so I continued to stab them with the sword, not caring about it.

In the meantime, I also continued to use skills such as Ice Ball and Ice Bolt that had no cooldown because my Intellect was over 60,000.

Anyway this was like a model hunting ground showing people what the toughest hunting looked like. But there was only one thing in this hunting ground that I regretted a lot.

In other words, this hunting ground offered no EXP because this was a limited event.

Except for coins, not a single item was dropped, let alone miscellaneous items.

Of course, I had no lingering affection for items or miscellaneous items.

But I really longed for EXP.

In particular, considering that this was a level 2700 hunting ground, I was confident that I could get lots of EXP, but I was so disappointed that I didn’t get anything.

“Well, this is an event anyway.”

I tried to shake off my disappointment by comforting myself like that.

Even if I regretted it further, this place would not offer EXP to me anyway.

Anyway, I continued hunting.

It’s already the fifth day since the ‘Collect More Coins Than Others’ event started.

In the No.9 hunting ground for level 13000.

“Hey, get rid of the monsters completely! Our restrictions are 80%, so if you don’t do it right, we are finished!”

“I know. So, just step back!”

Two guys were picking a quarrel there.

Since each player was given a hunting ground befitting their level, I had no choice but to question why there were two in one hunting ground.

However, the two men conversed with each other naturally, as if they didn’t think it was not strange at all to be in the same hunting ground.

Of course, they sometimes used abusive language in the middle of their conversation.

“You idiot! Don’t you remember we were almost killed by the monster that suddenly appeared before us! If you die here, it’s over!”

“Damn it! Can’t you reduce the restrictions to 70%? 80% is too dangerous.”

“No way! There are definitely some who have some bizarre traits like ours, ‘Always Together,’ so I think it’s a pity we couldn’t upgrade it to 90%.”

“But it’s me who is actually hunting now!”

“You can use your natural abilities right now. So, go for it!”

“Shit!”
