Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 232
Chapter 232: Constellation Hunter (1)
“Nice to meet you. Asirante. I am Rashmaka, leader of the Siddarth Guild.”
“Welcome, Asirante. I have already introduced myself to you through the owl, but let me do it once more. I’m Arnap, head of the Siddarth Guild’s intelligence department.”
I was prepared for everything just in case.
Of course, I didn’t fully believe them when I accepted the offer.
However, given my current surroundings, I decided that these guys had quite a bit of common sense, for I would have been quite displeased if this was a closed room or place with numerous people.
However, this place was an open field and there were no other users around.
In other words, this was their direct message that they had no intention of harming me.
Also, I did something else secretly without letting them know.
[Lumen: Are you there, sister?]
[Super Beauty: Yep. What’s up?]
I have moved to more regions than I expected, and one thing that I found in common was that communicating with others through messages was impossible.
But this time, my message got through to my sister.
It also meant that what these guys told me until now was true.
So I decided that I could trust them a little, albeit not 100%.
After I came to such a conclusion, I ended my messages with her, saying it wasn’t a big deal.
And I shook hands with Rashmaka, the leader of the Siddarth Guild who reached out to me.
“Nice to meet you too. I’m Asirante.”
“Haha. It’s truly an honor for me to greet you like this, Asirante.”
“You’re welcome.”
Since they have not lied to me at all, I treated them politely, while trying to respond to them as best as I could because I was not the type of player to raise my head and act arrogantly.
In particular, the arrogance of Commander Chung, the three-star general who visited the Myongjin Shelter, made me decide that I would not look down on others no matter how high up I was. After all, I could not force others to respect me.
After exchanging greetings with them, I moved with guild leader Rashmaka guild and team leader Arnap, who communicated to me through the owl before.
At Ponkus Castle.
They guided me to a cafe in Ponkus Castle Square, which was not the main base of the Siddarth Guild. Then they ordered some soft drinks and talked about some trifling stuff.
Then, as if judging that small talk was over, guild leader Rashmaka took something out of his pocket and opened his mouth with a serious expression unlike before.
“This is it.”
At a glance, I realized that it was the badge of the constellation hunter that I had seen through the owl. It was smaller than I thought.
It looked like a badge one wore while attending middle and high school. It was exactly that size.
So, at first glance, I didn’t think it was a myth-grade item at all.
But I opened my mouth without receiving it first.
“How come you are giving it to me so easily. What happens if I receive it and not uphold my end of the bargain?”
“Haha, you are the strongest player right now. However, nobody has found out anything about you. What does that mean? Doesn’t it mean that you are careful and thoughtful? Moreover, normally someone at your level will try to boast of himself, but you don’t. That means you have a lot of self-control. I have never seen someone like you act selfishly by taking advantage of the small gains before his eyes,” said Rashmaka with a smile on his lips.
Then he paused for a moment to sip a cup of tea as if something got caught on his throat, and continued, “Well, there is also a way for you to receive it easily. You don’t have to get it while feeling pressured, do you?’
“Is China so easy to beat?…” I murmured, tapping the table with my hand.
Rashmaka replied with a smile on his mouth, “Of course, it is hard for us. But can’t you beat China easily? Oh, I have no intention of burdening you. If you try to wear this constellation hunter’s badge that no one has ever worn, and if you do change, we just hope you can do your best for us. Of course, we will accept whatever results you give us.”
Then Arnap, the head of the guild’s intelligence department, opened his mouth.
“Even if a message appears saying that you can’t wear it, we’re going to repay you for coming all the way here. If you want, we can move you directly back to your original region.”
In the end, there would be absolutely no loss for me except for the time I would spend here with them So I accepted their offer, assuring them I was confident of smashing even a trap.
Anyway, I picked up the small badge that Rashmaka gave me, and put it on my left chest because they said a message would ring right away before the badge was put to use.
And the moment I put the badge on my left chest, a message really rang.
[Constellation badge hunter’s equipment restrictions have been met.
-Would you like to equip the constellation hunter’s badge?]
Honestly, I thought I would meet the equipment restrictions because I was lacking in nothing except my level.
After confirming it first, I removed the badge again because I could use it only three times and I could use it only for one week during each use.
The guild leader Rashmaki and Arnap were watching me with curious gazes, so I opened my mouth as if it was not a big deal.
“I got a message saying that the equipment restrictions have been met and it asked me if I want to equip it right now.”
“Wow!”
“Just what I thought!”
The two smiled at me in great satisfaction.
But I was happier because I was basically guaranteed the myth-grade item that increases my agility by a total of 3000, even though I didn’t earn it yet.
A little later I logged out.
The Siddarth Guild had not yet planned a battle with the Chinese Guild at the time of our meeting because they had to ascertain whether I could wear the badge or not first.
So, I logged out after agreeing to meet them again later.
As soon as I logged out, a familiar face was waiting for me.
“There you are, Juyoung!”
Of course, I had no intention of relying solely on the information provided by the Siddarth Guild because I had the power to use my own people.
So, after finishing conversing with my sister, I also messaged Director Sok and asked him to investigate the current status of the fight between India and China, as well as the Siddarth Guild of India.
“Thank you, as always, Director Sok.”
I expressed gratitude to him after receiving the relevant documents from him.
“You’re welcome. By the way, are you going to stay in India the whole time?”
“Yeah.”
“You are very busy.”
“Yeah, I really am. I just find myself busy all the time for some reason.”
Like Director Sok said, I kept being involved with all kinds of incidents all the time.
Of course, if I was ordinary and one of the common users, this kind of thing would not happen to me.
“By the way, I’m amazed to know we can message each other like this across regions. As expected, the world is wide.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Watching those with many extraordinary abilities, I felt that the world was really wide.
And those who have dealt with me also will feel the same way because I am not one of the typical users.
