Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 378

My sister's question was too broad, but since I knew her point, I answered casually, “They appeared seven times in the past three hours. And more than 500 monsters appeared at once during the 4th instance.”

“Gosh, so many monsters!”

“Yeah, I just don't know why they keep coming here. They are just useless!”

Of course, it was not new news that these monsters appeared only in the Myongjin Shelter, but I was sure there must be a third party who was responsible for it.

In other words, the monsters were really useless.

Until now, all the monsters that appeared on Earth dropped golden rings and coins even if they didn't give any EXP or items. But these monsters that appeared only in the Myongjin Shelter did not give EXP and items, not to mention golden rings and coins, just like summoned monsters.

So it was even more frustrating because I would not get any real benefits from killing them at all for all my time and effort.

At that moment, my sister looked at me, and opened her mouth.

“Juyoung, think about it once more.”

Of course, this was an emergency.

Therefore, we convened a meeting once a day because we had to put our heads together even if we could not find the solution.

However, we started paying attention to one possible course of action at one point.

In other words, it was the action of giving up the Myongjin Shelter and building a new shelter somewhere else.

Of course, that was just unrealistic because the Myongjin Guild had put all their resources into this shelter from the moment they instinctively sensed the upcoming change caused by Revival Legend. So much so that the Myongjin Shelter reminded us of Noah's Ark.

Abandoning this shelter now because of the monsters, and against our will at that?

Above all, I could not accept it as the direct son of the shelter's owner. I was not only so frustrated, but also got really upset.

But the problem was that it was my father who first proposed it. Since I knew my father's intention to abandon the shelter even though he could afford to resist further, I was all the more confused and disappointed.

Moreover, I had no choice but to feel complicated, knowing my father's intentions to quickly abandon Myongjin Shelter even though he clearly had the strength to endure.

My sister said, “Juyoung, you are not spending less than six hours playing Revival Legend these days, right?”

In the past, I spent as many as 18 hours playing Revival Legend per day. And I spent most of the time in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan, but I hunted there more out of obligation than for fun these days. Nonetheless, I knew I would become stronger than a second ago if I kept hunting there. I was not stupid enough not to keep hunting when I knew it.

As my sister pointed out, however, I was not connected with Revival Legend for less than six hours these days. Of course, I could stay connected a little longer, or for as long as 16 hours like before, because Myongjin today was not weak at all.

But it was so clear that even a three-year-old boy could notice why all this was taking place. It was because of me. Of course, I might be wrong, but it was more probable that I was their main target.

The fact that I was strong pitted me against those who were jealous of my power.

Even though all the rewards I received were legitimate because of my victories, there might be some who thought I must have achieved it through abusing my overwhelming power.

In a situation where this abnormal thing was happening almost certainly because of me, I could not have the nerve to feel comfortable playing Revival Legend when the security guys and those who achieved their reality actualization rate were so absorbed into defending against the monsters appearing frequently.

After he read my mind, my father said he would abandon the Myongjin Shelter that he built for me by investing all his resources.

That's why I could not accept his proposal even if it meant that I should defend the Myongjin Shelter instead of accessing Revival Legend for 24 hours.

“Whew! Alright, I'm on your side. So just do what you want. By the way, you have been stirring up such a fuss all the time, so it's time you took a break from Revival Legend. Hahaha!”

I smiled at her comforting words because I understood why she said so.

After chatting with her a little more, she went down the stairs, then she turned to me and opened her mouth, as if she had forgotten to say something.

“By the way, I heard that the Mirae Guild would send their reinforcements to us tomorrow.”

“Mirae Guild?”

“Yeah. What's more, the Mongolia's Tugal Guild, Daesung and Kusan Guilds said they would follow suit. They're sending reinforcements from Seoul, too.”

“Seoul?”

Of course, I understood the Tugal Guild or Mirae Guild because Myongjin had formed a solid alliance with them. The reason why Daesung and Kusan wanted to join hands with Myongjin was probably part of their efforts to make friends with us.

But I was surprised by her mention of Seoul.

Seoul was the place where President Kijung Kim, who was once against me, was located.

As if she noticed I was curious, she continued, “Yeah. Of course, Seoul won't send people who have raised their reality actualization rate. Instead, they decided to send tons of firearms including bullets.”

“Well, I appreciate their help.”

“Since you are still with us, the Myongjin Guild has not been ruined like the Myongjin Shelter. So, don't make the decision too late. Wherever we, including you, settle down, that is the new Myongjin SHelter. And I'm so happy to know that a cat who used to hide in its corner and stayed alert without even knowing how to sharpen its claws became so strong like this. Sometimes I miss you, who was like such a timid cat in those days. Back then I enjoyed teasing you. Alright, I'm leaving you now, brother. While you are away from Revival Legend, I have to play it hard to catch up with you anyway.”

I did not respond to her words. Instead, when my sister went down the stairs, I soared in the air using Fly, and attacked the horde of monsters that appeared again.

In the meantime, I recalled something which didn't appear for one week, or more precisely, for 15 days.

It was none other than the white root.

Around that time, in the very deep underground of the Myongjin Shelter.

Wiggle, wiggle.

Wiggle, wiggle.

Even though it was very deep underground, something was moving freely as if it were in water. It also wiggled its body as if it was very happy. Of course, its true identity was the white root.

The white root actually felt really good because it really liked the black square plate that was emitting red haze it was currently holding. Of course, it's been a while since the white root first found it. As soon as the white root found it, it tried to devour the strange thing right away because it was definitely something it could eat.

At that moment, the black square plate that was emitting a faint red haze grew slightly bigger and at the same time looked more appetizing, so the white root stopped trying to eat it because

it would taste better when it grew more than now.

After that, the white root dragged it deeply underground to help it grow more freely.

For a week or so ago, the white root hugged that thing in its arms because it grew faster that way. Anyway, the white root actively helped it grow fast, while watering at the mouth.
