Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 162
Chapter 162: Total Beginner (3)
As soon as I arrived at Rodon Castle, I moved towards the South and approached a decently sized building in the central district.
This was a secret house that only a few people could move from the makeshift teleport zone installed in Myongjin’s main stronghold.
Moreover, the location of this secret house was a secret.
In other words, very few people knew the building here so we could meet without anyone knowing. Of course, I was extremely careful all the time.
After confirming that I obtained the level 1200 Privilege: Reality Actualization, my father told me that my safety was top priority, so I had to move carefully because of that.
Anyway, when I got there, my family and Director Sok were waiting for me.
Then, I showed them my status window that my sister wanted to see.
“Show status window fully.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
My status window and list of titles were so amazing to my family members when I first showed it to them.
But it was even more amazing this time because I had obtained a lot more since then.
“You have seven titles now?”
“Open list of titles!”
When she mentioned it, I even opened my list of titles in my status window.
And they showed the same reaction as when they first checked out my status window.
They all liked it because my strength not only affected me, but also all the members of the Myongjin Guild, including my dad, mother, brother, sister, and Director Sok.
In particular, my mother even shed tears of joy, but I understood her feelings well because she had always felt sorry for me compared to my brother and sister.
Our small meeting in the basement study ended after they confirmed my status window in ‘Revival Legend’.
The next day, I attended the wedding at 11 am.
The main characters of the wedding ceremony were the immediate family members of the chairmen of the Daesung and Kusan business groups.
It seemed that the two business groups hit it off very well when they teamed up during the recent 4th Anniversary event.
Nonetheless, nobody expected they would join hands so quickly.
Even my father and Director Sok who mentioned it to me first could not help but be surprised.
Anyway, it was the wedding of the direct descendants of the leaders of Daesung and Kusan, which were a part of Korea’s top five business groups.
Regardless of whether they knew the truth of ‘Revival Legend’ or not, everyone made a big fuss about it because the union of Daesung and Kusan was a very big event that would bring about a redistribution in power of the five top business groups in Korea.
Of course, the chairmen of Myongjin, Mirae and Daeyu attended the ceremony inorder to give them a nominal congratulation.
Deep down, they would have to be feeling unsettled, especially the members of the Mirae Group.
As a matter of fact, Mirae was the unshakeable top business group for a long time, so much so that Korea was often called the Republic of Mirae.
Anyway, it was a grand wedding.
I sat down in the VIP seats along with my family members and watched the wedding ceremony.
While I was watching it, I could hear very clearly the various whispers amongst the guests seated in the halle.
“What if Mirae and Myongin also join hands in response to this union?”
“Hahaha, you must be kidding. Think about Mirae’s unrivalled status.”
“Oh, you are right.”
That was the conversation between Junghan Kim, the Chairman of Daesung, and Unki Chung, the Chairman of the Kusan Group.
Obviously, they were seated a bit far from me, but I could clearly hear their whispers.
‘Is this the power of my 7% reality actualization?’
It was impossible for an ordinary man with good hearing to hear the whispering of the guests from such a distance, especially while the music was constantly playing and the emcee was talking loudly through the microphone.
Moreover, there were almost 4,500 guests at the wedding ceremony.
Of course, I could not catch hold of the full conversation between the two chairmen but I got the gist clearly.
They continued.
“Moreover, didn’t Myongjin and Mirae break the tacit agreement first?”
“You’re right. They are aggressively buying golden rings first to clean out several items.”
“You bet. Even though they are quietly and secretly doing it, that makes me upset even more.
This is clearly aimed at us. So, we have to join hands together to cope with them.”
Just like the two chairmen said, I realized that we were already caught by them even though we used extreme caution to secretly collect the golden rings.
Of course, neither I nor my dad, my brother and Director Sok, thought that we could keep it a secret for long.
Although Korea cannot be said to be small in size, it is certainly a narrow place for Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu to compete with each other.
‘Should we have moved more aggressively overseas?’
Of course, the channel or wall blocking off different countries will disappear someday.
That’s why we continued to collect golden rings abroad.
But it was clear that they had already caught us doing it.
I didn’t think deeply about it anymore because the grand wedding was over, and I followed my dad, mom, brother and sister outside the wedding hall.
In the meantime, we encountered the chairmen of Daesung and Kusan who earlier hurled abuses at Mirae and Myongjin, but they conversed with us amicably showing no hint of their earlier conversation.
After that, I didn’t go home immediately after the ceremony because they hosted a banquet for the guests, not to mention a separate event for the young guests around my age.
Of course, I didn’t want to attend it because I wanted to go home and play ‘Revival Legend’.
However, they arranged for me to attend it, so I did.
“…”
“…”
“…”
It’s only 2 pm now.
Since this event was arranged by Daesung and Kusan, I had to be conscious of other guests around me and pay attention to my conduct.
Of course the atmosphere wasn’t bad.
So, I was going to spend some time here before going back home when Jina Chung, the daughter of the Kusan chairman who was one year older than me, said casually, “Why don’t we access Revival Legend together instead of idling away like this? We have never played the game together, right?”.
Since the others were also feeling bored at the moment, her suggestion sparked their interest.
Soon, a bunch of 3rd generation VR devices were prepared for us.
Of course, I didn’t want to hang out together with them because if I partied with them while hunting, I wouldn’t be able to attack even one monster.
As a matter of fact, I was not supposed to stand out among them anyway.
Even if I didn’t equip any of my items, including the functional skill ring, my power was still clearly beyond what ordinary people could understand.
Moreover, it was already widely rumored that I, the youngest member of the Myongjin group, was of such a low level that I could not participate in the 4th Anniversary event.
Of course, I spread such rumors on purpose.
Anyway, I could not help but be very much embarrassed by the unexpected situation.
However, everyone else had already begun to support Jina’s suggestion.
Even Bora Yon, who was next to me, asked upon seeing my hesitation, “Why? Any other appointment?”
“Not really…”
But she seemed to have been mistaken.
“Oh, maybe you are afraid of being compared to them?”
“…”
Of course, I was worried that I would be compared to them because my current level was so different from what was publicly known.
Anyway, considering the current atmosphere, I couldn’t refuse . So I reluctantly logged in.
After that, I moved to the Biting Wind Canyon where we decided to gather .
Of course, I removed my ID Asirante and used Lumen instead.
At the Biting Wind Canyon.
“Wow! It’s a legendary grade and +7 enhancement.”
“You must be kidding. It’s very common even within the legend grade.”
“But +7 enhancement is terrific.”
“By the way, when did you level up that much? You always complained because you could not find time to play games.”
“Man, don’t bring it up. My dad told me he would suspend my credit card if I couldn’t level up this much, so I grinded really hard.”
There were already a fair few people in the Biting Wind Canyon.
And they were talking with each other while comparing their items and status windows.
At that moment, Bora who used ID Kali, came to me and said, “Oh, you are late.”
I replied, “Yeah, I was a little farther away.”
Although I exchanged messages with her, I had never encountered her directly in “Revival Legend”. I avoided her on purpose because Asirante, a famous and powerful ice-type wizard, and I, Lumen, were one and the same.
Then I faced a situation that I hoped would not happen.
“Juyoung, what level are you?”asked Daesung’s Cholmin Kim who was my age.
“Level 589.”
