Chapter 364: Refusal (1)
Instead of answering, I just smiled at her.
When she demanded an answer again, I opened my mouth casually as if it was nothing special.
“Well… it’s not a big deal, but I’ve achieved 100%.”
“100%?”
“For what?”
Since I didn’t state what this 100% was referring to, my brother and sister kept asking, but my father made a surprised expression as if he smelled a rat.
I received coins from him right before I entered the quest. And the thing most directly connected with coins was the reality actualization rate.
I felt like bragging about my achievement instead of hiding it, so I opened my mouth right away because I had already deliberately hinted at it by mentioning 100%.
I said casually as if it was not a big deal “Reality actualization rate.”
“!!!”
“!!!”
“!!!”
As expected, all my family members looked stunned, except for my father who had expected it to some extent. So much so that they dropped their chopsticks.
In other words, the achievement of 100% reality actualization rate was far from ordinary.
Above all, it required a number of coins to get there.
Anyway my family members showed not only surprise but also admiration for my achievement, and congratulated me greatly. I even told them about my actual experiences, adding that 100% was not the end of the reality actualization rate.
Of course, I was not supposed to leak it to outsiders under any circumstances, but the people here were not outsiders at all. After having dinner, I tipped Director Sok off about it as well.
At the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
“Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
[Kheeeeeek!]
[Khuuuuuuuk!]
“Hehehe!”
I smiled, watching the monsters collapse solely at my Blizzard attack without any support from ice Field and Multiple Thin Ice
When they fell, I immediately herded more Titans again using Blink with zero cooldown, then used Ice Tornado this time.
Of course, Ice Tornado was a level 8 skill, lower than Blizzard which was upgraded to level 9 thanks to the functional skill ring. But even then, I had no problems killing the monsters with this skill alone.
After that, I used Blink with zero cooldown again to continue hunting with a smile on my lips.
My hunting continued until I got a message from my sister.
[Lumen: What’s up, sis?]
[Super Beauty: Can you log out for a moment?]
[Lumen: Sure. I will log out in a minute.]
I didn’t ask her why. I would know anyway when I logged out, and there must have been some reason why she asked me to log out.
A little later I logged out, and my sister led me to the drawing room.
While moving there, she told me why she asked me to log out.
“Do you know the Talagapa Guild in Argentina?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard of them.”
As far as I knew, the Talagapa Guild was one of the top five guilds in Argentina.
When I answered like that, she opened her mouth again.
“Somebody from that guild is waiting for you in the living room.”
“Why?”
“They didn’t tell me the reason, but they said they really wanted to see you. And they guaranteed they had no intentions of harming you.”
“Hmm…”
I stroked my chin at her words.
“Alright. If I see them, I will find out why anyway.”
Of course, there would be only one reason why they wanted to see me.
In other words, they must be here to ask for my help urgently. Otherwise, outsiders like them would have no reason to visit me. Besides, they knew they would have to pay a lot to get my help.
So, I was thinking of accepting their request if all the conditions were met.
I had made a lot of gains from the previous requests for my help, such as the Dungeon of Ordeal in Indonesia, the statue at the Holdridge Group Headquarters in New York, which I could not help but be greedy about, and the Borniche Expedition thing recently.
A little later, I arrived in the living room where my father and Director Sok were seated with another two strangers sitting across the table.
Apparently, they were from the Talagapa Guild in Argentina that my sister mentioned.
So I passed by them and sat next to my father at the head of the table, then exchanged greetings with them.
“It is an honor for me to meet you like this. My name is Carlos, and I’m in charge of foreign affairs for the Talagapa Guild.”
“My name is Melina.”
“Oh, nice to meet you. I’m Juyoung Hong.”
I returned their greetings, then we got down to talking.
But I didn’t demand we should get down to business right away.
Obviously, I didn’t want to waste my time, but it was polite for me not to push them when I met them for the first time today.
Then the guy named Carlos took his back off the sofa and opened his mouth softly with a serious expression unlike before.
“I think everyone here knows what happened in Osaka, Japan. Juyoung Hong, especially know it better than anybody else, because you were there to get rid of the monsters.”
Of course, I clearly remembered what happened in Osaka, Japan.
It has already been several months since it happened, but it was still often mentioned by many people.
So I could not help but feel surprised by these guys’ visit.
I didn’t want to ignore them, but if the bizarre creatures had appeared again, there would have been a big fuss around the world. But it was quiet until now, which meant that they had not appeared since then.
After checking the expressions of everybody including my father, Carlos spoke again.
“People are divided over their existence. First of all, they are not definitely monsters. Just like they came to this Earth, we at the Talagapa Guild found the key to their place.”
“?”
First of all, I could not understand what he was talking about.
More precisely, I was pretty startled because I never expected we could go to their place even though they appeared on our Earth. Back then they called me an intruder.
Carlos, as if expecting that I would be shocked, didn’t react and continued, “Moreover, our mission doesn’t end with us simply going there to reveal their identity. Reveal the Judgement Key.”
[Judgment Key (Myth)
– When you use the Judgment Key, you can move to the enemy area ㅇㅇㅇ.
-Up to 30 people can move, and after moving to the area, there is a 30 day cooldown to return to Earth.
– If you return to Earth after the 30-day cooldown ends, the Judgement Key will expire.
Also, when everyone who moved to the enemy area ㅇㅇㅇ dies, the Judgement Key immediately disappears.
-After you return to Earth after spending 30 days in the area ㅇㅇㅇ, you will receive the following rewards.
: All individuals who return to Earth will acquire 3 billion golden rings.
: All individuals who return to Earth will acquire 3000 remaining stat points.
: All individuals who return to Earth will acquire 30,000 coins.]
Obviously, the reward was quite large. Considering that the reward was not only given to the winner or those in the top rankings, but to every participant, it was literally tremendous.
But there was another reward.
[There are additional rewards available
-During your 30-day stay in the enemy territory ㅇㅇㅇ.
– 100 points for killing weak enemies.
– 500 points for killing equal enemies.
– 1000 points for killing strong enemies.
: Depending on the points you acquire, you can exchange them for golden rings, EXP, remaining stat points, remaining skill points, coins, etc.]
