Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Dual Role (1)

At a very large villa located on the outskirts of Seoul.

A group of people, who were none other than Sunghan Kim and his followers who left the Myongjin Group, lived there. Kim was talking with several members in the parlor located in the center of the villa.

” Can Mirae, Daesung or Kusan accept us?”

“…”

“…”

Suddenly the other became silent upon hearing Kim's question. But the silence wasn't long.

As if he blamed Kim for asking such an obvious question, ayoung man sitting at the far end of the parlor said bluntly, “The three business groups won't even look at us. They aren't stupid enough to take the risk despite the possibly strengthening their position in the game industry.

“As you know already, Captain, we are a dog that has bitten its owner. The dog that bit its owner once will bite again. And they clearly know that.”

“Hmm…”

The dog who bit its owner which the man sitting at the far end of the table just mentioned was Kim, of course. However, Kim was not particularly angry nor did he express anger because the man's words were true. If Kim had another chance, he would bite his owner again.

Anyway, Kim groaned momentarily at these words, then changed the topic, mentioning another group.

“Phew! After all, it seems like only Daeyu can accept us?”

The top five business conglomerates in South Korea were Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu. They had the biggest territories in-game, too.

Of course, Daeyu definitely lagged behind the other four. Besides, Daeyu was having many difficulties these days because it was caught joining hands with a Chinese business group as its subsidiary.

In Sunghan Kim's judgement, Daeyu was the only place he could rely on temporarily.

Then, the young man who said confidently that Mirae, Daesung and Kusan would never accept them opened his mouth again.

“Yeah. As things stand now, Daeyu seems to be the best option. Until the wall collapses, we have to coexist with the Myoongjin, after all.”

Nodding at his answer, Kim said, “Good. Contact Daeyu. Since they have already joined hands with the Chinese, they will not be able to refuse our contact if we go through the Yanghwa Group in China. We can win over the real talents of Daeyu with my trait.”

When Kim made the decision to enter Daeyu, those who remained silent until now one by one opened their mouths with laughter.

“Hhhhhhh. You are going to take over Daeyu, right, Captain?”

“Great!”

When they began to respond, Kim smacked his lips while saying with some regrets, “Daeyu isn't a problem at all. If Sangman Hong and Insu Sok hadn't noticed my plan quickly, I would have taken over Myongjin early on.”

“This is a good decision. Daeyu's Chairman Daeyoung Suhwas is rumored to be less competent than Myongjin's Chairman Sangman Hong.”

“Tut, tut. Daeyu is behind Myongjin. But I don't need incompetents. This time, choose only the smart players.”

Sunghan Kim and his followers decided to go to Daeyu, hiding their insidious intentions.

At the abandoned field of trees.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The silence lasted for quite some time.

Of course I fully understood this. Although my mother didn't hold any t.i.tle, my sister and my elder brother were top executives of the Myongjin Group.

Therefore, they must have looked at not only their status windows of not only but also numerous members of the Myongjin Guild because status windows were the best way to evaluate the true level of a player

As they say, the more you know, the more you understand.

Accordingly, my family members could not believe my level after confirming it on the status window with their own eyes. In fact, as the owner of the status window, I myself found it hard to believe my rapid growth.

At that moment my sister opened her mouth, stuttering, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

“Wow! Is this magic? Juyoung, you're awesome! Hahaha. It looked so real that I got almost fooled. Hahaha,” she said, laughing like a robot. Obviously, she was not convinced.

So, I closed my status window and opened it again.

Of course, it was the same.

“Sis, is it too much for you to believe?”

If it had just been a moderately strong status window, she would have been startled to notice the three special traits IceMan, Mutual Growth and G.o.d of Enhancement written near the bottoms for their presence indicated that I had achieved the max level in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Closed Betas, regardless of the grade of the traits.

However, I didn't want to brag, but even before she looked to the bottom, there were too many things that could surprise her on my status window.

For example, I had 5 t.i.tles, over 1 million Health and mana, and a huge amount of stats for Intellect, Stamina, and Willpower.

But they have not yet seemed to have discovered that I have two IDs.

Anyway, when some time pa.s.sed, they began to speak, as if they got over the shock of my level.

No matter how hard it was for them to believe it, my father, my brother, and my sister were not stupid enough to continue denying it when they confirmed it with their own eyes.

“Very good, son!”

“By the way, Juyoung, You've got five t.i.tles including the Only Closed Beta Max Level User? You alone?”

“Hey! Juyoung! Tell me everything about how you got this! How come you hid all this from me? So shocking!”

“Son, Mom doesn't know what's going on, but I know my son is far superior to others.”

“Disclose special traits: IceMan, Mutual Growth and G.o.d of Enhancement.”

I disclosed my special traits first, because the reason I decided to show my status window today was because of these special traits.

Of course, I didn't have to say a lot because all I had to say was I just worked hard on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Closed Betas of ‘Forgotten Legend'.

And I actually did.

However, despite my bland explanation, they were shocked once again as soon as they confirmed the contents of my special traits.

“Considering the options here, what grade are they?” My sister asked, showing big surprise.

I replied casually, “IceMan and Mutual Growth are S grade, and G.o.d of Enhancement is SS grade.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

For the first time, I realized that I could surprise my family members to the point that they were speechless. Of course, I fully understood their shock because I was shocked too when I received the trait for the first time, even worrying about the balance of this game.

“Disclose all my t.i.tles!”

Next I even disclosed the t.i.tles that my elder brother was curious about because the status window didn't specify the five t.i.tles that I possessed except for Only Closed Beta Max Level User.

[Current t.i.tles.

: Only Closed Beta Max Level User.

: Scarecrow Destroyer.

: Have you enhanced as much as me?

: The one who doesn't fall.

: Honorable Name]

Ten minutes later my sister sat down on the ground feebly and opened her mouth.

“I feel like I'm dreaming. Mom, pinch my cheeks so I can wake up from this dream quickly.”

She frankly expressed her feelings like that.

But my father and brother reacted differently.

“Even if you combine all of these, your stats are just too high.”

In addition to several t.i.tles, including the Only Closed Beta Max Level User, I was the only one to achieve the maximum level during the 3rd Closed Beta, and received a whopping 1000 extra stats as part of my various rewards.

After that, there were many opportunities for me to get extra stats.

While I was explaining about various stuff, my elder sister suddenly stood up and shouted, “Hunt! Show me how you hunt! It looks like this is the place you are hunting, so show me. I just want to see how a man who is level 234 with such a status window l hunts!”

She made such a request out of the blue.

My elder brother also chimed in, “The monsters that appear in this abandoned swamp are tree monsters with long roots. You have to be level 400 to level 450 to hunt these monsters. Or even level 500. But n.o.body at that level hunts here because the long-rooted sapling has a unique attack method, and it's really strong. So, I want to see how you can hunt here alone when you are only level 243.”

This place was literally an abandoned hunting ground.

Although my sister didn't know what kind of hunting ground this was, my brother knew it.

My father and mother nodded at my brother's words, so I formed a hunting party.

At that moment an unexpected message appeared.

[Currently, you have two IDs: Lumen and Asirante.

-You can select the ID to use in this hunting party.

: Lumen.

: Asirante.]

“…”

Of course I knew I had two IDs.

I had already tested it when I whispered to that friend. But I didn't know that such a selection window would pop up even when forming a hunting party.

“What's wrong, Juyoung?”

When she didn't receive a party invite, my sister asked why.

“Well, that's because…”
