Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 184

Chapter 184: NPC? (1)

I obtained a whopping 1000 remaining stat points in total from the quest.

More precisely, I gained as many as 2957 remaining stat points including the 1957 from killing Yosif. In other words, my remaining stat points were almost 3000.

Besides, I received coins and golden rings, a Legendary Grade Blessing, and the Quest Craftsman t.i.tle.

‘Hahahaha.' I broke into laughter before I knew it because my rewards were much larger than I thought. Maybe more than the reward for my stolen level 700 only quest.

So, I shook off my regrets about the stolen level 700 only quest without any hesitation.

Besides, my revenge on Yosif was perfect as well because he lost his fraudulent trait ‘Quest Robber' completely.

“We have prepared a feast in your honor, Asirante!”

“Please come this way!”

Of course, I needed to level up urgently.

Right now, I wanted to check the impact of almost 3000, or 7500 remaining stat points, given my Mutual Growth trait.

However, there was enough time for me to partic.i.p.ate in the Zalz clan's feast in my honor, so I followed them. I was in a very good mood.

While Juyoung Hong, or Asirante was having a great time at the party hosted by the Zaltz clan, something was developing on the Hurd McDonald Island south of the Indian Ocean.

An American wars.h.i.+p quietly sailed to the Hurd McDonald Island, an uninhabited island close to the Antarctic and owned by Australia. When the s.h.i.+p approached the island, they lowered seven boats on the sh.o.r.e, and a total of 65 people mostly heavily armed with personal weapons landed on the island.

When they reached the sh.o.r.e, a man sitting at the forefront of the boat opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Headquarters, this is Eagle. We're entering the island!”

“Got it. Try to capture them alive rather than killing them.”

“Understood!”

The U.S. military has the ability to face off against the whole world.

Unfortunately, the US Government, one of the three major forces that dominated the ‘Revival Legend' within the United States, did not completely control the entire military, even though they had more influence than the other two groups. The Holdridge Group and the Shaipe Group didn't simply watch the US Government's secret moves without taking any action.

So, the current situation is that the US Government exercises about 50% influence on the military, while Holdridge has 30% and Shaipe has 20%.

As a result, the current operation by the military unit has been jointly conducted by the U.S. Government, Holdridge and Shaipe.

Of course, not all 65 men partic.i.p.ating in this operation were thoroughbred soldiers because some in the group were specialized toward dealing with the monsters. In other words, each group sent 5 people who reached level 1200 and obtained reality actualizations, alongside 50 soldiers. It was necessary to test how powerful they were. So a total of 65 of them sneaked into the Hurd McDonald Island to capture monsters alive instead of simply killing them.

Ten minutes later, they started their operation.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

It was an operation to capture the monsters alive, not kill them.

That's why 50 soldiers were included, and most of them had tranquilizer guns along with their rifles. And when they entered the island, they immediately used the tranquilizer guns at the monsters they encountered. They planned to put the monsters to sleep in three seconds with one shot.

“Kuuuhuuuuun!”

“Kunnnnnnnnng!”

Some of the soldiers screamed when the monsters continually charged at them despite being hit by four or five shots directly.

“Captain! The tranquilizer doesn't work at all!”

“Wait! The top priority of our operation is to capture the monsters alive!”

Even if the monsters were hit four or five times by the powerful tranquilizer darts, these monsters weren't elephants, so Michael, the captain of this operation, stopped his men from using their firearms.

Moreover, he was prepared for this kind of situation.

So Michael turned his gaze towards the 15 men behind him.

They stepped forward, opened their mouths quietly.

“Strong body!”

“Let the strength of iron suffuse my body. Iron defense!”

“My body will become solid steel!”

Since the purpose of their operation was to capture the monsters, the US Government, the Holdridge Group and the Shaipe Group chose tanks for this operation.

Of course, they included one healer and one damage dealer in the squad as well.

“Heal!”

“Heal!”

“Fireball!”

“Wind Arrow!”

“Hey. Our goal is to capture the monsters.”

“There are too many out there. Is it possible for us to capture them all?”

“Got it. Go easy, man!”

“Don't worry. I have no intention of disobeying the orders from above.”

All 15 of them were confident

Even if their reality actualization rate was less than 10%, they have all pa.s.sed level 1200. Even with their low reality actualization rate, they thought they could easily subdue Gray Wolves between levels 100 and 150.

Moreover, there were up to 50 elite soldiers armed with rifles in case of an emergency.

As expected, they completely held the ten Gray Wolves at bay.

However, when one, two and three minutes pa.s.sed, they had to admit that the tranquilizer guns were not working on these monsters.

Captain Michael, who was watching them from behind, opened his mouth.

“Headquarters, this is Eagle. The tranquilizer guns are not working as expected. Requesting permission to change the operation and capture them forcefully.”

“Go ahead.”

Since they had seven drones in the air in addition to the small cams installed on the crew's helmets, Michael cut to the chase without explaining the situation. As soon as he got the greenlight from HQ, he immediately ordered the next operation.

Then a few men pulled out a net launcher from the boat and used it against the Gray Wolves.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

Since it was a high-strength net specially prepared for this operation, they judged that it would be effective enough to capture the Gray Wolves, and it paid off.

However, after they captured five Gray Wolves and the tanks were about to target another group of Gray Wolves, something unexpected happened.

“Houuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

“Houuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The captured five Gray Wolves were crying loudly.

At that moment there was an urgent cry ringing through the earphones Captain Michael wore in his ear.

[Be careful! More than 100, or 150 Gray Wolves, are rapidly approaching your area!]

“d.a.m.n it!” Michael could not help but swear at that moment.

Michael did not get his captain status of this secret operation through nepotism, but due to his numerous successes in other missions. So, he made a decision quickly.

“Listen to me, everyone! Let's end the monster capture operation here. Move the five captured Gray Wolves, then get ready to fight!”

“Sure!”

“Okay!”

The 15 who achieved reality actualization and the 50 soldiers got ready to fight at Captain Michael's order, and launched attacks against the monsters that soon appeared in their surroundings.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The 15 men who achieved reality actualization threw the hand grenades generously at the monsters with the noise of gsunshots constantly ringing.

If the other 50 soldiers had the same abilities as the players with level 1200, these Gray Wolves would have been no threat, but the situation right now was different.

In Was.h.i.+ngton, USA.

“The firearms we made are paying off nicely.”

“But they are between level 100 and 150. Moreover, they need to be shot at least ten times to put them down. So, I don't think our firearms are as effective as we thought.”

“You're right. We have to take this as a wake-up call because there is a possibility that our firearms won't be effective against those monsters at level 200 and above.”

The cabinet ministers leading the US Government expressed their opinions while watching the video showing the operation of Michael's forces.

“By the way, we only managed to capture five Gray Wolves. We will have to tussle with the Holdridge Group and the Shaipe Group to take two of them.”

“That's their problem. Obviously, we are taking the lead in carrying out this operation.”

“You're right. They have to accept that too, but they are so insane now.”

The cabinet members of the US Government watched the video comfortably because Micahel's team perfectly defended themselves against the monsters.

At that moment, however, some shadow that was difficult to be called a monster appeared in the video, but no one paid attention to it.

In the uninhabited Hurd McDonald Island.

Captain Michael let out a sigh of relief after getting rid of the monsters more easily than he thought. Actually he was worried a bit at first because the monsters he encountered first might be immune to gunshots. However, after subduing the Gray Wolves, he closely observed his surroundings without letting down his guard.

At that moment, he saw a silhouette which was far different from the monsters he had just faced.

But he could not confirm what it was.
