Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: The Land That Summons Monsters (5)

[Title: Strongest Guild.

-This is a title that can only be acquired by a guild that has proven to be the strongest in ‘Revival Legend’ beyond its region.

: All members of the Myongjin Guild gain 10% additional EXP when hunting monsters.

: All members of the Myongjin Guild gain an additional 10% golden rings when hunting monsters.

: All members of the Myongjin Guild gain an additional 10% coins when hunting monsters.

: All members of the Myongjin Guilds receive a 100 stat point increase for all stats.]

“Great!”

I could not help but be so happy about it because 10% was definitely a significant value that could widen the gap between me and others.

What’s more, the value of the Myongjin Guild will go up further since even new members could enjoy the same benefits without any restrictions as soon as they join.

At that moment, another message rang.

[Since all rewards have been issued, you will be transferred to your original location in 10 seconds.]

I smiled at the message in satisfaction.

Right before the event started, I was confident of winning, but even when I emerged as the winner as expected, I could not control my happiness.

Soon I felt as if I was being dragged to a certain place, then the main base of the Myongjin Guild in Rodon Castle came into view amid thunderous applause.

“Wow! Wow!”

“Juyoung Hong! Juyoung Hong!”

“Myongjin! Myongjin!”

Of course, I understood why they welcomed me with thunderous applause because as the members of the Myongjin Guild, all of them must have received all the additional rewards.

What’s more, they also received the title, “Strongest Guild.’

I returned their warm greetings by raising my hands.

And their enthusiastic mood immediately led to a festival not only within Revival Legend, but also at the Myongjin Shelter outside Revival Legend late into the night.

The next day.

Obviously, it was me who was the hero of this event.

So I stayed at the party quite a long time before going to sleep later than usual.

It was also a reward for myself as I successfully wrapped up the important task.

I wanted to access Revival Legend immediately after a late breakfast the next day, but I had to move to the small conference room right away for some reason. When I got there, there were many including my father, elder brother, and sister waiting for me. So I sat right next to my brother.

When I was seated, Captain Lim stood up from his seat and opened his mouth.

“First of all, I’m sorry for asking you to come over here so suddenly.”

“That’s fine. I guess you must have a reason,” said my father.

Captain Lim, who was in charge of the security of the Myongjin Shelter, operated the beam projector with a remote control and opened his mouth again.

“I prepared this presentation because I thought seeing is believing. This happened exactly four days ago.”

As soon as he said that, a familiar place appeared on the screen installed on one side of the small meeting room. It was none other than the Myongjin Shelter and the monsters.

Of course, it wasn’t that strange because even now new monsters appeared somewhere around the world, and it was no wonder that the Myongjin Shelter was included among those places.

Lim continued, “Those monsters appeared three days ago, and the monsters here appeared two days ago. And during this period, the monsters appeared three times in a row, day and night.”

I tilted my head a bit, puzzled by his explanation.

Obviously, the Myongjin Shelter was very wide, so the probability of monsters appearing there was relatively high, but nonetheless their appearance was too frequent.

But that was not the only problem.

“They appeared yesterday, and again this morning.”

“Hmm…”

“Umm.”

This was obviously too frequent. Of course, it didn’t mean that monsters didn’t appear at the Myongjin Shelter or nearby at all previously. But they didn’t appear as frequently as they did now.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the small meeting room and came in, bowed to my father, and whispered to Captain Lim.

Right after that, Lim said, “I’ve just heard that monsters have appeared in Area 8 and at the western entrance of the Myeongjin Shelter. Let me connect to that place right away.”

As soon as he said that, a new scene appeared on the screen, showing Area 8 of the Myongjin Shelter, and its western entrance.

The western entrance was guarded by security personnel and those who raised their reality actualization rate at all times, so they got rid of the monsters appearing there. The monsters there were not that strong.

But the monsters in Area 8 began to walk around freely without any restrictions because the Myongjin Shelter was so vast to accommodate the numerous people that lived there.

Luckily, there were no people nearby.

First, I examined the screen carefully.

At that moment, something appeared beneath the monsters and pierced their bodies like a skewer. Of course, I was neither startled nor curious about it because they were the roots. As soon as they wiped out the monsters, the roots disappeared again as if nothing had happened. After that, everyone’s eyes turned to me because the part of Myongjin Shelter where I was now was far away from Area 8.

But they didn’t have to be surprised by the roots alone, because there was something else that would really surprise them. In other words, the roots had to be unconditionally connected to me on the ground. What if I lifted my feet into the air? The roots did not show up.

In fact, I could not control the appearance of the roots even after I received an upgraded version of them from the treasure box. Only after they devoured the parasite and revealed white roots which were twice as long and broad as the other roots could I control them to show up even if they were far away from me

That’s why the roots could function even though I was floating in the air using Fly during the ‘Borneche Expedition’ quest recently.

Anyway, those present at the conference room began to thank me.

“Thank you, Juyoung,” Captain Lim said, expressing his gratitude to me.

I just slightly nodded at him because I was also in charge of the affairs of the Myongjin Shelter as a whole. The real problem wasn’t this kind of trivial thing, but the frequent appearance of monsters.

So I asked right away, “Are monsters suddenly and frequently appearing all around the world or only right here?”

My question carried a very significant meaning.

If monsters appeared frequently around the world as a whole, I didn’t have to worry about it.

Maybe it was because of the fast pace that Revival Legend was progressing at recently.

Then Captain Lim said, “Well, they are frequently appearing around Myongjin, or more precisely, the Myongjin Shelter, alone.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

He confirmed my concerns that the monsters appeared frequently around the Myongjin Shelter alone. A heavy silence fell on the conference room.

Then Captain Lim broke the silence by saying, “Let me show you this screen. I received it from the Mirae Guild. It shows the monsters that appeared around them for the past ten days. Next to it is the status of the monsters appearing in the guilds in Indonesia, America, China as well as the Mongolia’s Tugal Guild, Daesung Guild, and Kusan Guild.”

Compared to the status board of the monster appearances in other guilds, the frequency of monsters that appeared in the Myongjin Shelter was overwhelmingly high.
