Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 69 - Bora Yon (1)

Chapter 69: Bora Yon (1)

“Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow!.”

Puck! Puck! Puck!

So of the swamp monsters were not killed by my initial Pouring Hailstones and Ice Blasts, so I fard them with my single target skills. It was just like my battle with the 1500 users a day ago.

Of course, I didn’t confront all 1500 users at once, and I could not kill all of them.

Anyway, leaving the big unprecedented battle with the Gahwa Guild behind, I concentrated on hunting just like before, for I still had a long way to go before I could reel in the joy of my achievents.

So, I accessed the ga in the early hours of the morning and hunted stone squirrels in the Rocky Area for a couple of hours. But I gave up in the middle of it. Obviously I coveted the undigested mineral masses of the stone squirrels, which I suspected to have a greater value than I initially thought, but I was getting very little EXP out of it.

Even if I regretted not collecting more mineral masses, I gave up on the Rocky Area and chose the swampy area as my new hunting ground.

Since then, I have been hunting until now.

At that mont a ssage rang.

[This is the 1 o’clock alarm you set.]

An alarm sound signalling 1 AM.

After checking the ssage, I left the hunting ground imdiately because tomorrow was a very important day for .

Tomorrow was the day of my weekly ho visit. But at the sa ti, I needed to solve the final step to clear this quest.

Of course, it’s a very complex step, and not simple.

The Safety Zone in the swampy area.

There was no one around. I could not even find those who collected toll fees while guarding the gate outside the Safety Zone.

Watching the gate, I suddenly muttered unknowingly . “Wow. Co to think of it, this A-class quest is ridiculously difficult.”

Pioneers’ City was totally ruined. To put it precisely, even ‘ruined’ was not an apt description because it was never prosperous. Not many users visited this place even before the Gahwa Guild took over and established its rule.

Because of the Gahwa Guild, Pioneers’ City collapsed without even having the chance to prosper. Anyway, after I got rid of the Gahwa Guild, I realized it was far more difficult to revitalize the Pioneers’ City and turn it into a prosperous city than getting rid of the Gahwa Guild. No matter how much effort I put in to revive the city, an individual had limited capabilities. However, I had the backing of a huge guild nad Myongjin.

“Well, this is not a loss to Myongjin either.”

Soktae Kang offered 100 million won per month so I would not oppose him. He also paid nearly 1,500 people in cash simply for the purpose of harvesting the stone squirrel’s undigested mineral mass.

In other words, there must be sothing special about this stone squirrels project.

Otherwise, nobody would spend such a large sum of money for no reason.

So, when I visit my house tomorrow, I’m going to tell my father that if we collect them early on, we might make a big profit later.

At the sa ti, I planned to tell him that I wanted to revive the whole Pioneers’ City.

Thinking about these matters, I logged out because my appointnt tomorrow was far more important than hunting for an extra hour or two.

The next morning I didn’t access the ga imdiately because I had to organize my thoughts first. To put it more precisely, I didn’t log into the ga to ponder over how to word my proposition to my father.

I couldn’t ask my father to help revive Pioneers’ City without a proper reason. Besides, I had no good evidence that the undigested mineral masses from the stone squirrels would be of great value later.

At least I needed to explain to him my ideas in a logical way to persuade him.

After I was done organizing my thoughts, I was just about to access the ga to hunt for a little. But at this mont, my cell phone rang. Thinking it might be a call from my mother, I picked up the phone and checked the caller identity. However, the phone was displaying soone else’s na.

[Mirae Bora Yon]

These letters were displayed on my cell phone screen.

Of course, the ‘Mirae’ here referred to Mirae Group, the undisputed top business conglorate of South Korea, and Bora Yon was the granddaughter of Mirae Group’s Chairman Jonghwan Yon.

I froze montarily because we were not so close that she would call like this.

Of course, I knew her. I had t her several tis in various places because business families in Korea often arranged various kinds of etings among themselves in the form of parties, banquets, conferences or gatherings, so that their family mbers could mingle together.

I picked up the phone and greeted her, “Hello.”

Of course, I had no reason to avoid the call.

“Hi, it’s , Bora Yon. You still rember my phone number, right?”

“Oh, it’s saved in my contacts.”

“Okay. I’m glad to hear that.”

It has been a while since I saw her last.

Of course, she didn’t call to exchange such pleasantries, and she wasn’t on intimate terms with anyway.

But I didn’t ask why she called , and I just responded appropriately because it was she who called first to find out sothing.

“Are you free this evening? I’m seeing Cholmin, too. Oh, Jina and Youngjin are also coming. How about you?”

Kim Cheol-min is from theDaesung Group, Jinah Chong is from the Kusan Group and Youngjin Suh is from the Daeyu Group. And Bora Yon is from the Mirae Group.

If I’m included in this eting, all the young mbers in their 20s from Korea’s five largest business groups will be gathering in one place.

Honestly, I didn’t really want to go there. But I responded, “Sure. When and where are you eting?”

“Let send you the details via text later.”

“Okay.”

Even though I disliked going there in my heart, I actually said the opposite because this was the eting of the sons and daughters of the top five business groups’ chairn.

Nevertheless, I thought I should not miss this get-together because so of them may be the future successors of their companies, and I might be able to get so unexpected and valuable information.

I was taught that I would miss out on important matters if I didn’t take part in such etings. But deep down, I knew I was extrely wary of getting close to the people from other business groups. Of course, I’ve never expressed this sentint to anybody.

Anyway, I finished talking to her over the phone.

I looked down at my phone for a while after I hung up, pondering over Bora Yon’s motivations, or Mirae Group’s intentions behind such a eting. She definitely didn’t contact just to see my face. Mirae Group had been shunned on purpose by the Myongjin, Daesung and Gusan Groups recently, so I was curious about her intentions.

1:00 PM..

I left my studio a little earlier because I needed to inform my father, brother, mother and sister that the Mirae Group Chairman’s granddaughter Bora had requested to et .

When I reached my house early compared to my normal visiting ti, my mother welcod gladly.

“Oh my God! Why have you co so early? You never ca early before even when I begged you to co early, right?”

“Well, I’ve got sothing to tell you and others.”

My mother welcod heartily since I usually arrived around dinner ti, except when I had to attend a eting disguised as a business leaders’ eting.

I asked her, “Where is Dad?”

“He’s in the basent study.”

Fortunately, it seed that he had been working at ho all this week instead of his workplace.

So I excused myself and went straight to the basent study.

Knock! Knock!

I knocked on the study door and opened my mouth.

“Dad, it’s , Juyoung.”

“Co on in.”

As soon as I finished talking, he responded imdiately.

So, I imdiately opened the door and stepped in. Inside, Dad was sitting alone at a large desk checking so docunts.
