Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 87: Opportunity That Came Along Earlier Than I Thought (2)

In fact, I told their leader to come back to this place if he wanted to.

Anyway I ignored the monster and turned my eyes to the place where somebody was moving.

Of course, I was fully prepared for any contingencies.

But when I saw the group, I immediately knew who they were. They seemed like they didn’t intend to fight anybody as if they thought nobody was here.

That was probably why they were a bit surprised to see me all of a sudden.

“Uh? I didn’t know there was anybody hunting here.”

“If you are hunting alone, you must be pretty strong, right?”

“Of course, he is because I know what kind of hunting ground this is.”

“Are you really aiming for the boss monster like us?”

“Are you kidding? He’s alone here. How can one man hunt the boss monster?”

“Then should we drive him out of this place, buddy?”

“Yeah, we should on principle. But this guy is hunting here alone. In other words, he is very strong. Hmmm…”

“Why are you worried about it? Our captain will take care of it. Who knows if this guy is a member of our rival guild who came to check out the boss monster here?”

“Damn it! Why is this boss monster competition getting more fierce?”

“You don’t know the reason? It’s because Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and even Daeyu are in this competition.”

“Shit. Why are they hellbent on breaking into this game?”

“How would I know that?”

“Bullshit! I just don’t get how our Sungchang Guild was pushed out and had to come to his place famed for its boss monster.”

Sungchang Guild. It was a guild familiar to me when I first started playing this game

I clearly heard this name among other things from the group in front of my eyes

Actually, these guys made me feel greed in game for the first time, for I didn’t have to before in the game which I regarded as a haven, a resting place, and a refuge. Back then, they stopped me from even seeing the boss monster in the field which belonged to nobody, let alone attacking it.

Of course I understand them now because even the Myongjin Guild was doing the same thing.

And all other business groups are doing the same.

So, I’ve forgotten my petty grudge against them since it has been a long time from back then.

Besides, I was too busy to dwell on that. But this time seemed to be a good opportunity for me to spread my user ID Asirante widely.

Should attack these Sungchang Guild members who appeared all of a sudden? Of course I have no intention of doing it.

I have already forgotten my petty grudge against them and I didn’t want to make them my enemy unless they were the target of an A grade quest such as “Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan.”

But I’m going to test the power of the legendary grade accessories I received from my father and brother this time. Of course my target is the boss monster in this hunting ground. And of course, I trusted myself more than the items.

***

As an executive of Sungchang and Captain of the second team of Sunchang’s five boss monster raid teams, Kilyoung Lee agonized a bit about whether to bully and expel this man who was hunting in this place as he usually did.

Normally he would. But in a recent executive meeting the participants argued that Sungchang should grow in size in order to survive the fierce competition with the large business groups. So, the guild leader came to the decision that he would issue cash rewards in person to the executives who succeeded in hiring strong players. So, Kilyoung Lee had no choice but to hesitate this time, for it was obvious that the man was very strong since he was hunting the long-rooted saplings alone in this abandoned field of trees

Lee thought that since the man was alone here, he could be a treasure that didn’t join any guild.

Coming to such a conclusion, Lee approached the user hunting alone with a smile.

“Good morning. I am Kilyoung Lee, the person in charge of Sungchang’s second boss monster raid team. You must have heard about Sungchang, right?”

Of course, Sungchang was eclipsed by the entry of the powerful business groups into the game industry, but it was still a prominent mid-sized guild with a good name.

That’s why Lee broke ice with me using the name of Sungchang.

“Of course, I know of Sungchang,” I said.

When he got the answer he wanted from me, he continued with a happy expression.

“Haha. I’m glad you know of it. By the way, I don’t know if you know this, but the boss monster, a long-rooted ancient tree, appears when you are here.”

“Ah, really?”

“Yeah. So, can you give up your place for a while until we catch this boss monster? It won’t take long. And since you got here first, if you want to raid the boss monster with us, we will accept you as a member of our party. Of course, depending on your performance, you will be given a certain share of the items that the boss monster drops.”

Lee was confident about the power of the second raid team led by him.

So, he decided to invite me to the party and show me his team’s overwhelming power before offering me a position as a Sunchang guild member. Besides, Lee wanted to check with his own eyes how powerful I was so he could decide on how to treat me in the future.

If I was weaker than he expected, he probably thought of killing me for all the troublesome effort he made for me.

Anyway, Lee wished that I agreed to join him in his party for the boss monster raid.

I answered I would participate in this boss raid, but I would do it alone.

Thinking he heard wrong, Lee asked again, “I beg your pardon?”

“Yeah, I’m going to do this boss monster raid by myself. Didn’t you hear me? I told you I occupied this place first. So, don’t you think I have priority?”

“...”

Lee was just blinking with his mouth open as if he was embarrassed that he didn’t hear me wrong.

At that moment he almost swore, “You are a crazy bastard,” but he barely managed to put up with it because hunting alone in this abandoned field clearly meant I was very strong, regardless of whether I was crazy or not.

Anyway, Lee regained composure and opened his mouth again.

Ale “Hahaha. Got it. We will be waiting behind you. If you’re in any danger, let me send in my members right away. So, don’t worry and go ahead with the boss monster raid.”

Doing a boss monster raid alone? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

But Lee thought this wasn’t too bad because a situation where he would have to get involved in a dangerous situation and save someone’s life would bring about fantastic results.

And Lee also thought of other scenarios. For example, if I was not competent enough, he would leave me alone so the boss monster would kill me.

Lee stepped back with a smile, thinking of watching a funny comedy. And so did the other members of the Sungchang Guild’s second boss raid team.

‘Check item.’

After watching Lee, the Captain of Sungchang’s 2nd boss raid team, I checked the items I had received from my father and my brother.
