Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Reality Actualization Rate (1)

My latest reality actualization rate was 91%.

When I finally reached 98% by raising 7% by using 70,000 coins, I should have been delighted, but I felt somewhat empty instead.

Of course, I was happy, but there was something that bothered me.

It was none other than the number 98%.

“Well, I need only 2% more to reach 100%…”

Of course, there was no mention of any changes or rewards when I reached 100%.

But I started feeling greedy about achieving 100% when I reached 98%, which I didn’t feel at all when I reached 91%.

“Since I currently have 3,000 coins, I need about 17 billion golden rings to achieve 100%.”

I needed as many as 1 million golden rings to trade for 1 coin. In other words, I needed 10 billion golden rings to trade for 10,000 coins. Besides, this was just a commission fee.

The coin seller would not receive the golden rings. They would just disappear as if they evaporated. Because of that, I would have to pay the coin seller with more golden rings or something else.

In other words, it was too costly to trade for the coins.

Nonetheless, coin trading was so active that there existed a coin exchange market because coins were the most valuable item.

Anyway, the golden rings I already obtained surpassed 100 billion, so I could trade for 20,000 coins without any difficulty.

For others, 20,000 coins would be a huge amount, but for me, I would get them sooner or later because I was confident of winning 1st place in any event or quest.

That’s why I had no choice but to feel that I didn’t have to use 20 billion golden rings for 20,000 coins.

“Alright. I don’t have to be in a hurry.”

After I made that decision, I continued hunting again.

Ten minutes later.

[Lumen: Are you there, Director Sok?]

[Insu Sok: Yes.]

[Lumen: I want to get some coins between 17,000 and 20,000. Let me pay for them.]

[Insu Sok: Got it. I’ll get back to you right away.]

Of course, I knew it was unnecessary to spend such huge golden rings.

But I did not want to delay achieving the 100% reality actuation rate any longer when it was right around the corner.

I didn’t feel the urge to reach 100% when I got to 91%, but when I reached 98%, I was afraid somebody might achieve 100% faster than me by a hair’s breadth.

As a matter of fact, I had collected golden rings for an occasion like this.

So I changed my mind within ten minutes, and decided to obtain the coins. I could get more golden rings anyway.

After asking Director Sok such a favor, I continued to hunt.

Soon Director Sok messaged me.

[Insu Sok: I’ve obtained the coins, Juyoung.]

[Lumen: Got it. I’ll see you right away.]

As soon as he confirmed he got them, I immediately used Blink with a zero cooldown to move to the entrance of the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.

When I arrived there, I saw some familiar faces.

“Wow, Juyoung Hong!”

“You are leaving the hunting ground earlier than usual today!”

I spent two and a half months in the new continent.

During my absence, not only the players of Myongjin Guild, but also those belonging to Mirae Guild and Mongolia’s Tugal Guild were hunting here in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.

Those affiliated with Myongjin greeted me with open arms as soon as they found me.

It was no wonder they welcomed me so enthusiastically because I was perhaps the most famous man on Earth. Because of that, the Myongjin members had no choice but to feel proud of the fact that they were the members of the Myongjin Guild like me.

Above all, the fact that Mirae and Tugal guild members were watching them with envy made the Myongjin members feel so proud. Among them were a few familiar faces.

One was none other than Bora Yon.

“…”

There was a time when Bora Yon and the Mirae Guild were far ahead of me. Back then she was the only one who didn’t ignore me. She might have already guessed that I was Asirante, but she remained silent at that time, which was great because nobody else associated Juyoung Hong with Asirante.

So I walked to her side while returning the Myongjin Guild members’ enthusiastic greetings, and opened my mouth quietly.

“It’s been a while.”

“I guess so. I was worried because my messages could not get through to you. I heard the news. Congrats!”

As she said, we sometimes messaged each other. Of course, she usually messaged me first. And the news she mentioned was the reward I received this time. It was not strange to me that she knew it because there were lots of people who saw me getting the huge reward.

So I said, nodding at her words, “Thanks. I was lucky enough to get such a big reward.”

“It was not luck. You were the one who made such a choice,” she said pointedly.

But I didn’t care about it. I chatted with her for a while. Of course, she could have passed by me without speaking to me. However, just by having a friendly conversation with me, she raised her value a lot because her conversation partner, namely, I, was highly valuable.

At the main base of the Myongjin Guild near Rodon Castle a little later.

When I arrived there after finishing talking with Bora Yon, there was somebody waiting for me.

It was my father, not Director Sok, who was urgently waiting for me.

As soon as he saw me, he suddenly handed me something.

It was as many as the 30,000 tradable coins I had given him in the past.

“Take them. I’ve saved them for you.”

“These are…”

Of course, I tried to decline them, waving my hands at him.

Even if he was my father, I knew it was the most disgraceful thing in the world to give somebody something and take it back later.

But my father insisted I should receive them, saying, “Anyway, you brought them to me, Juyoung. As a matter of fact, you have given way more coins than these to the Myongjin Guild directly or indirectly. So take them. I thought of returning them back to you someday.”

“…

Even though I tried to decline, he forcibly handed me the 30,000 tradable coins.

So I immediately took out 30 billion golden rings from my pocket, but he declined them as well.

“No thanks, Juyoung. If I compare you to a stock, you are definitely a blue-chip stock. When I don’t invest in you, I don’t want to take away your wealth at all. So don’t care about it at all. By the way, it’s lunchtime soon, so I’ll see you later.”

“Sure, Dad.”

I replied gently because he had no intention of receiving my golden rings at all.

At the outskirts of the Myongjin Guild headquarters.

Since I didn’t have to put off raising my reality actualization rate to 100%, I immediately raised it.

When I achieved 100% rate by using 20,000 coins, a message rang.

[Congratulations!
