Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 278 - New Functional Ring (2)

Chapter 278: New Functional Ring (2)

As a matter of fact, I saw lots of won because I was from one of the top Korean business group families. Of course, I just looked at them, as I had no way of sizing them up yet.

In terms of her looks, the woman who introduced herself as Unji Chung was not a beauty.

She was not ugly, and she wasn’t even dressed up.

My brother said, “Juyoung, she is going to be your sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law?” Of course, I had guessed she might be my sister-in-law, but I was embarrassed, honestly.

I replied to him right away, “Well, I wish you had introduced her when you were with Dad, Mom, and sister…”

“Well, they already know it. Only you didn’t. I couldn’t tell you because you were so busy until recently.”

“…” I didn’t feel bad at his words.

My brother tried to appease by saying I was too busy for him to introduce her, but it had been an open secret to my family mbers. I had joined the army without even completing my freshman year in college, then left ho after I was discharged. Since then, I had hardly attended family dinners or family gatherings. In other words, I was almost cut off from my family mbers. It was only natural that I was the only one in the family who didn’t know her, and I had nobody to bla for that.

It was absurd for to feel frustrated that I ca to learn about her just now.

It was a little surprising that she was an ordinary woman. My brother was a top bridegroom candidate, and worth a lot as the eldest son of Chairman Sangman Hong of the Myongjin Group.

As if to satisfy my curiosity, my brother continued, “We have known each other for quite so ti, but I haven’t seen her for a while because I was very busy, as you know. But now I have decided that I don’t have to put off my marriage.”

“Why?”

He replied with a smile on his lips at my question, “Do you know how many marriage offers I received just yesterday? Thirty! Yeah, I owe it to my great brother!”

“…”

“I’m not trying to make fun of you, so just relax. I just want to thank you, brother. You are the one who has made it possible for to spend the rest of my life with the person I love, without considering the circumstances around .”

I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t understand what he was trying to say.

In other words, my brother didn’t want what they called a ‘marriage of convenience,’ which used to be the prevalent way the power families of the top business groups arranged the marriages of their children. Given the position of my brother, there was a high probability that he would had to make such a marriage. In fact, the Daesung and Kusan groups had ford an alliance through their son and daughter’s marriage of convenience.

Anyway, my sister-in-law-to-be thanked after my brother did, and we had a pleasant dinner.

I thought it was really welco that my brother would get married to soone he really loved instead of a marriage of convenience.

After I t my brother and his fiancee, and later t them again with my sister, nothing unusual happened for the next five days.

My sister hit it off well with my brother’s fiancee, perhaps because they were very close to each other. My sister made fun of and my would-be sister-in-law looked at curiously.

Of course, I spent most of the ti hunting, because that was my priority right now.

***

I was supposed to finish hunting, so I hunted until the last remaining second.

Soon a ssage rang out in the ga

[The event to commorate the appearance of a new hunting ground has ended.

-The points earned by Lun, Ashirante are being converted into a score.]

“Whew!”

This was definitely an important event. However, I, as well as the Myongjin Guild, went through a very big event right before this happened, so we proceeded quietly this ti.

Of course, I was confident of good results because I had done my best during the remaining ti.

I waited for the ssage quietly. Soon, another ssage rang out.

[Congratulations!

-The total score that Asirante has achieved in this event is 322,580,511 points.

– You have won first place.]

To be honest, I fully expected that I would win first place. Even though I wasted three days, I really did my best to hunt for the remaining ti, which was enough to get to the top rank.

I smiled at the ssage because I had no choice but to feel good about being first place, even though I had anticipated it.

As if to congratulate , a series of ssages rang out.

[You will receive rewards for first place as follows:

– 2 billion golden rings.

-15,000 coins.

– 500 Stat points.

– A random accessory box ranging from legendary to mythical grade.]

Out of the rewards, the fifteen thousand coins caught my eye first, because I had spent quite a lot of coins reality actualizing my sword during my fight with Smith’s party, even though it was just a general, rare grade item. What’s more, I had seen Smith’s reality actualization rate of 200% with my own eyes.

“Accessories ranging from legendary grade to mythical grade…” I repeated.

In my current inventory, there was an accessory slot charm of mythical grade that I had acquired from the previous boss monster raid. There was a reason I hadn’t used it right away. Even if I obtained a very good accessory after recklessly adding to my ring, bracelet, earring, or necklace slots, I would feel very sorry if the accessory was more suitable for a different part of my body from the one I’d chosen.

In particular, I didn’t want to break the set effect of an accessory such as my Sacred Permanent Snow, which was made up of rings, earrings, and a necklace that empowered greatly.

“Okay. It’s ti for to obtain a mythical grade item. What’s more, I have the title of ‘Lucky Companion’ this ti.”

I knew I might not obtain a better item by saving it, so I opened the random accessory box with a prize ranging from legendary to mythical grade.

A ring appeared in the box. Of course, I could equip the ring by using my mythical grade accessory slot charm, so it didn’t matter to .

The only problem is that this ring was legendary grade, but I couldn’t help but smile before I knew it.

The ring was obviously legendary grade, but was an item that was treated as mythical grade.

It was a worthwhile ring. It was not a skill, but it didn’t matter.

A ‘functional stat ring’ was inferior to a ‘functional skill ring’, but I still evaluated it as an item that did its job well enough.

I put the functional stat ring into my pocket, then spoke in a low voice after opening a charm, “Use the accessory slot charm.”

[You have used the accessory slot charm.

-Please select the slot that you want to add.

: ring.

: earring.

: necklace.

: bracelet.]

I chose the ring slot without any hesitation.

[You have chosen a ring slot.

-You have created a slot where you can wear an additional ring permanently.]

As soon as I saw the ssage, I took the new stat ring out from my pocket.
