Chapter 388: First Dibs (2)
No matter how closely I looked into it, this was not bad for me at all.
After coming to such a conclusion, I moved back to the level 1500 hunting ground and spent the rest of the day productively.
Since I would not come back to this place unless I was forced to, I hunted hard, reminiscing about the good old days I spent here.
Besides, this place gave me a farewell gift of stamina 3000, physical strength 3000 as well as rigidity from the Titan trait.
The next day.
At the teleport zone near Rodon Castle, the main base of the Myongjin Guild.
Instead of moving to the hunting ground, I immediately headed near the teleport zone in order to move immediately as soon as I obtained the information about the level 1600 hunting ground through the guild chat window or message.
I waited for several minutes there when I finally received a message from the Myongjin Guild. And the reason I received such a prompt message was because we mobilized all the available resources of not only the Myongjing Guild, but also the Mirae Guild, Mongolia’s Tugal Guild, the Daesung Guild and the Kusan Guild to search for the new hunting grounds.
[We’ve found a level 1700 hunting ground in the forest of the hermits in Matena Castle!]
It was not a level 1600 hunting ground.
However, we also needed a level 1700 hunting ground, so I quickly moved to the forest of the hermits in Matena Castle using the teleport zone.
The moment I arrived there, I knew there were already many others at this place.
Of course, I didn’t expect that we alone would find this place as all the other guilds were also hell bent on finding a new hunting ground.
So, I passed by those who were arguing over their arrival time, and arrived at the level 1700 hunting ground.
Then I opened my mouth with a loud voice.
“Myongjin has first dibs on this hunting ground!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Among those who listened to my announcement were not only Myongjin players but also other giant guild players. Moreover, even at this moment, more and more were streaming into this hunting ground.. So all of them were witnesses to my announcement that the Myongjin Guild claimed their possession of this hunting ground first.
Of course, it didn’t mean that Myongjin had the 100% ownership of this hunting ground. If we tried to claim sole possession, Myongjin would become enemies of all the giant guilds within Revival Legend even if they had me, the strongest player.
Despite that, it was more beneficial for us to announce our possession of this place first to claim our stake in it while others were arguing over it.
As soon as I announced it, somebody else also shouted, “The Lausanne Guild has discovered this place faster than anyone else, so we obviously can claim some ownership of this place, too!”
“Don’t lie! Obviously you guys came here later than us, and people here have all seen it! So Madea Guild has priority over this place!”
“Are you kidding? We have found this place faster than anyone else!”
“Hey. You have to count us in because we came with you here!”
No wonder that all of them began to claim their ownership of the hunting ground as soon as I made the initial announcement.
But I didn’t care about their argument because I was confident of securing the benefits for the Myongjin Guild, no matter how many of them claimed ownership.
After that, I received a couple of more reports about the discovery of new hunting grounds, so I headed to those places immediately.
Of course, these places were already more crowded than the level 1700 hunting ground.
Knowing no shame, however, I moved to the hunting ground and shouted the same thing I did in the previous hunting ground.
Thousands of people looked at me scornfully as if they thought I was talking bullshit, but they became silent after confirming who I was. And following me, they also made the announcement that they also had a stake in this hunting ground.
At the main base of the Myongjin Guild in Rodon Castle three hours later.
“Thanks to Juyoung’s help we could secure the level 1600, level 1700, and level 1800 hunting grounds. Of course, we were also helped by the Mirae Guild, Mongolia’s Tugal Guild, the Daesung Guild and the Kusan Guild,” said Director Sok.
After he was briefed, my father said, “Good job, Director Sok. Thanks, son.”
“You’re welcome, Dad.”
Of course, I could secure more hunting grounds if I wanted to.
If I made up my mind, I could take all new hunting grounds and declare them as mine.
Even if the others hurled abuse at me behind my back, nobody would dare to come out and refute my announcement.
But if I took that action, it would not only isolate me but also pit me against all the other guilds.
So I made it a goal to secure only the level 1600, level 1700, and level 1800 hunting grounds from the beginning because these three hunting grounds were more than enough for not only Myongjin but also the Tugal, Daesung and Kusan players for now.
If they were not enough, I could secure more later.
After the family meeting was over, I quickly moved to the level 1600 hunting ground that I secured this time.
In fact, if I didn’t stay connected for more than 10 hours at the level 1600 hunting ground today, I would have no choice but to enter the level 1700 hunting ground a day later than others, albeit such a thing was extremely unlikely.
A little later.
[You have met the requirements for using the level 1600 hunting ground.]
I stayed connected in the level 1500 hunting ground at least 10 hours a day for the past 10 days, during which I killed 100,000 monsters.
Since I met the conditions early on, I could enter the 1600 level hunting ground without any difficulty.
“Stop it!”
“Keep the formation!”
“Fire Spirit’s Wrath!”
“Biting Wind!”
“Triple Shot!”
“Thorn of Pain.”
:
:
“Don’t deal a fatal blow! Stop your attacks when I tell you to stop!”
“Got it!”
“Understood!”
Of course, there were already people hunting by forming a party.
As if they were sharply aware of the event ‘Reach the level 1800 hunting ground first!’, they were trying to help only one of them to deal a fatal blow to the monster.
“Hmm… an archer monster.”
But I didn’t pay attention to them.
No matter how hard they hunted, they were not a match for me.
Instead, I looked at the monster and quietly opened my mouth.
“Use Monster Imprinting!.”
[You have used Monster Imprinting.
-The first monster you hunt will become your imprinting target.
-If you hunt another monster while hunting, all your accumulated traits will be deleted, and your imprinting target will be changed to the new monster you hunted.]
In order to move to the next level 1700 hunting ground, I had no choice but to hunt more than 100,000 monsters while staying connected for 10 days. This was a perfect chance for me to kill two birds with one stone. That’s why I used Monster Imprinting.
Of course, I needed to hunt 100,000 monsters for monster imprinting.
But 10 days was more than enough for me to hunt them.
Actually, I managed to hunt 100,000 monsters in under five days in the level 1500 hunting ground.
Anyway, I used Monster Imprinting first, then moved quickly toward the hunting ground using Blink with zero cooldown because I was done scouting what kind of monsters appeared here. From now on, hunting would be great fun for me.
