Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 101

Chapter 101: I Have Always Longed For Daeyu (2)

Soon the Safety Zone of the Poisonous zone ca into view.

When I first arrived here, there were quite a few users around.

But the place was very quiet now except for five n standing at the entrance.

I walked toward them proudly without showing any tense expression.

“Good morning! My na is Sumi Ahn and I am the Managing Director of the Mirae Group.”

“Asirante, nice to et you. My na is Insoo Sok and I am the Managing Director of the Myongjin Group.”

“I’m from Daesung…”

The managing directors of Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan and Daeyu were there to greet . Honestly, I didn’t expect the Daeyu director to attend this eting because the other four groups openly ostracized the Daeyu Group.

“Oh, it’s nice to et you all like this. I didn’t expect such powerful directors like you would co here to et . It looks like being famous is worth it.”

I didn’t want to give them the impression that I was rude and thoughtless simply because I acted arrogantly, so I used honorific language to address them like they addressed .

“Well, you denied my friend request. Could you accept my friend request first?” Sumi Ahn, Mirae’s managing director said first.

Of course, I fully understood why she said that because she could not bring up any important topics with her rivals next to her. As if they had already agreed on sothing among themselves, the others next to her didn’t stop her.

“Sure, let accept your friend request.”

So, I accepted all their friend requests starting off with the Mirae Group’s managing director.

[You have received a friend request for the ID Asirante.

-Would you like to accept the request?]

Of course, my ID Asirante has been disclosed to the public, so I accepted their friend request without any hesitation.

When I was done accepting their requests, Director Sok opened his mouth as if he had just t for the first ti.

“Asirante, we directors from Myongjin, Mirae, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu earnestly hope that you can grow greatly and beco a strong user representing Korea on an international level. We can actively help you to grow and achieve that goal.”

“That’s right. We can’t tell you about it in detail, but our groups are putting a lot of effort into ‘Revival Legend’. Asirante, you’re also a citizen of the Republic of Korea. We will treat you dearly so that you will never be disappointed.”

Starting with Director Sok of Myongjin, the other directors started praising .

So much so that I would have felt dumbfounded if I had not known the hidden truth behind the ga called ‘Revival Legend.’

So I actually pretended to be dumbfounded at their praises.

“Eh? What the hell are you talking about? I don’t know why you are praising so much.”

Then, as if I had noticed sothing, I said as arrogantly as possible, “Ah, you don’t have to be so anxious to please like this. Lol.”

I pretended that their earnest encouragent was sothing like an expression of their willingness to scout .

The eting wasn’t as long as I thought because it was very difficult for the managing directors of Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu to reveal their true intentions when their rivals were in the sa place.

So, we ended the eting promising to et again in the future.

When they left, they earnestly asked to respond to their private ssages.

So, I promised them to do so, then logged out because it was already 1am.

The next morning I woke up, washed, and ate breakfast, but I did not access the ga as usual.

I was supposed to go to the dinner eting for the top leaders of Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung and Kusan today, and my father asked to see before that.

So, I left my one-room studio while holding my 3rd generation VR device.

At my house in Cheongdam-dong.

After briefly hugging my mother who welcod , I went straight to the basent study.

In the basent study, my father, my brother, my sister, and Director Sok were already seated waiting for my arrival.

A soon as I sat down, Dad opened his mouth.

“I already heard from Director Sok. Very well done, son!”

Dad praised so much, and, of course, I knew what he was talking about.

Did he praise because I achieved the highest round in the level 300 only arena quest?

Or did he praise because my ID Asirante had beco more widely known to the world that he initially thought?

No, he didn’t praise for these things.

He praised because I cunningly behaved myself in a eting with the managing directors of Mirae, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu as well as Director Sok.

Dad praised so much because he was so concerned about in that eting.

So I replied calmly, “I’m going to behave as carefully and prudently as possible so they never find out who I am.”

“Yeah, you should do so. I guess they’re going to try every way to win you over. In particular, they will rack their brains to find out where you live in the real world. So when you feel you are not safe, just choose to remain silent.”

“Sure, will do.”

Then, I talked with my father about other things.

Of course, I handed over a mory Bead to him early on.

I didn’t just stupidly proceed with the level 300 only arena quest since I was given only one chance to do it.

So, recording my experiences using a mory Bead was very important to because it would be a great help to Myongjin.

Moreover, I did not struggle financially so I was not scared to use the mory Bead.

And I ntioned to my family the reward I had received for clearing the 80th round, naly, the removal of Blink’s cooldown.

When I ntioned that Blink had its cooldown removed, my sister was the most surprised because she was a wizard just like . Of course, she was a fire-type wizard.

“Wow! Are you sure? No cooldown? Does that make any sense?”

“If you are so curious, check it out because all my activities are contained in that mory Bead. I tested Blink with no cooldown in the abandoned field of trees,” I said as if to brag about my new powerful skill.

I was so satisfied that Blink had no cooldown that I boasted about it to her even though I had never boasted about other things.

“Wow. After all, since our starting line was different, our gains are also different. Hey, Juyoung, I think you are the most adorable coveted guy within “Revival Legend.”

When she ntioned ‘the starting line,’ there was a mont of silence in the basent study for what she said was true. And I would get much, much more in the future, and I would not be content with just leveling up.

For example, just like the level 100 only quest and the level 300 only quest, I’ll look forward to the level 500 only quest, and I will get a huge reward for clearing the level 500 only quest with the best record.

Anyway, that wasn’t important, so I changed the topic to my next move.

I agreed with my father that I would play a double role, and that my main targets were Mirae, Daesung and Kusan because Daeyu was definitely behind the other groups.

But my value was too high now for to move for a small reward.

Therefore, Mirae, Daesung, and Kusan will try to offer a trendous premium to hire .

Of course, if they find out about each other’s offer to , they might have a fierce competition to hire first.

So I asked first, “What about drying out Daeyu’s financial resources first?”

By joining hands with China’s Yanghwa Group, Daeyu has been ostracized by the other top business groups.

So, Daeyu was the perfect candidate to be the first target.

Even if Daeyu’s deal with falls flat, I don’t have to worry at all.

Moreover, I still rember that an guy nad Sunghan Kim.

That guy took control of 50% of the players with special traits under Myongjin, and openly threatened my father to accept his demand of getting married to my sister while also coveting Myongjin. Ironically, he now belonged to Daeyu along with those players under his control.

I thought I could suck the financial blood of Daeyu like a leech because Daeyu was still one of Korea’s top five business groups even though they now lagged behind Myongjin, Daeseong, and Kusan.

When I singled out the na of Daeyu, silence again settled in the basent study

. But the silence didn’t last long because my elder brother and Director Sok broke it.

Sok said, “Just like Juyoung said, I think Daeyu is the best option at this point.”

Kiyoung chid in, saying, “I agree. Even though Juyoung’s identity might be revealed, we can cope with the situation as long as our opponent is just Daeyu. Besides, Daeyu has fallen out of favor with the other business groups. They could even be our enemy.”
