Taming Master Chapter 543

After the meeting, Na Ji-chan ran into the monitoring room.

The arranged meeting was indeed important, but this was much more important than that.

‘I need to check for the bugs first!'

The world of Kailan had been going through a very important time.

The users of the humans/ asmodian (terrestrial system) users were going into one or two places in the Middle-Earth, in easy words—it was a transitional time.

And it would be fatal if a bug had formed at this point, it would turn to be an irreparable balance breakdown.

Ping- Piping-!

Na Ji-chan, who just entered the monitoring room with the employee ID, ordered the employees inside.

“Mr. Lee, please free up the monitoring computer.”

“Okay, team leader.”

“Yoon, send over the month's worth of play data of Ian.”

“Yes, team leader!”

They weren't able to figure out what had been going on, but the monitoring room moved.

From the looks of Na Ji-chan, it looked like he was very concerned about something.

Wheeing-!

Na Ji-chan who received all the data onto the computer first checked the analysis table connected with the development team.

And he was able to take a relaxed sigh.

It was because he hadn't found any error code.

‘Phew, there is no system error or bug in here.'

The most fatal of all the bugs was the problem with the game system itself.

So, if the system wasn't so faulty, then it was like the worst had been avoided.

But that didn't mean that he could be relieved just yet.

If there was no problem with the development team, it was most likely a mistake on the planning team's side.

Then, Na Ji-chan, the team leader of planning team 3, will be partly responsible for it.

‘I hope it isn't a big deal…'

The problem was, ‘Contaminated Mine in Spirit Mountain' quest.

Na Ji-chan wasn't directly involved in the planning of the quest.

Because of that, it wasn't going to be easy to identify where the problem actually lied.

After drinking a cup of cold water, Na Ji-chan sat down in front of the screen.

After playing the video of Ian. He began to skim through the data.

He had decided not to rush into things and then decided to take at least a day's time.

‘Kay. Where could it be if it wasn't system error?'

And Na Ji-chan, who was seated in the monitoring room, couldn't get out of the room even after the team members had left.

Kailan's early days were vaguely remembered.

No, to be much more precise, it wasn't so long after the career of ‘Summoner' had come.

When Ian had first encountered the content of ‘spirit' was created in the Summoner Tower.

At that time; Ian, with the overwhelming number 1 ranking of Summoner, was the first to enter the Summoner career tower and within the tower, he was able to obtain a skill book related to the spirits.

And with Ian being the starting point, the spirit spell user started to gain attention among the summoners too.

For the summoner who had to fight with weapons of the different classes without a single attacking skill, the spirit spell users seemed very attractive.

However after a while, with the passing of half-year, the spirit spell users died down.

As the level of the user kept on growing, the efficiency of the spirit spell user continued to fall.

At that time, the spirit spell users were lacking too much.

‘I really wanted to know why Kailan even created the content.'

First of all, the spirit spell User was just like a medium for the summoner to use spirit magic.

Summoned spirit had never had a combat power for itself.

In addition, the maximum degree that the spirit could evolve to was also limited to medium spirits, and the merits were bound to fall more.

There was an even little scope for the ‘Summon magic' stat, which had been the most important factor in determining the power of spirit magic.

In other words, as the spirit grows, the spirit spell user must grow stronger too, and it was abandoned as there was no way to improve the spirit magic.

Ian too at that defined the spirit spell at that time.

-Summoner up to the level of early 50 – 100, with the intent to make a play of the summoner easily. Guerrilla content.

However, when he had entered the spirit dimension and began to look at the proper spirits, Ian had no choice but to change his thoughts.

And he could see why the content of the spirits that were available in the human dimension had been limited.

The spirit spell user was initially a content to be opened after the Middle-Earth.

There were numerous reasons for Ian's thoughts, but the biggest reason was because of this.

*Occupation stats are interoperable with the earth system and the Middle-earth at the same ration (ration 100: 1).

That was a part of the description of the middle-Earth set forth in the official community of Kailan.

Then what was the top of the sentence?

*The combat stats of the earth system directly affected the combat stats of the Middle-Earth.

*On the other hand, the higher the transcendence and the transcendence combat stats don't raise the stats on the earth (Though intangible combat abilities increases, it is but insignificant.)

According to the explanation, the increase in the combat abilities due to leveling up and farming in the Middle-Earth had very little effect on the human dimension.

In other words, no matter how hard they tried to move up the transcendental level, the stats of the human dimension wouldn't change.

Then what about the career stats?

If the transcendence career stats is raised by 1, then the career stats of earth system goes up by 10.

However, both the stats that determine spirit power was included in the Summoner's Career Stats.

What did that mean?

‘In this situation, practicing spirit magic was the most efficient for growth.'

Ian summoned back all of his familiars in order to grow his spirits.

At least, in the time that he spent controlling his familiars; if he could use spirit magic, then the speed at which the spirits would grow would be faster.

And the level of the familiars couldn't be raised above 10; however, the spirits can surely grow, so the choice of Ian was a natural one.

Hurrying out of the Pneuma village, Ian moved to the north of the sanctuary.

It wasn't long before he found a blue gate.

‘Is there an entrance for the Spirt mountain?'

Ian took heavy strides and went in the direction of the gate.

The NPCs which had been standing on both the sides of the gate approached Ian.

They too were the guards with an unusual appearance of goats.

“Hold on. Nobody can pass through this place.”

“Huh?”

“There are a lot of dangerous monsters in the Spirit mountain.”

The guards blocked Ian, however, Ian didn't move back.

Because he had already heard of the story from Syarlon.

“Syarlon was the one who asked to investigate the contaminated mine.”

At the mention of Syarlon's name, the two guards went shocked.

“…!”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, indeed it is. You can confirm by asking Syarlon.”

The guards were too flustered.

It was because it was Syarlon who commanded and controlled the movements of the place.

And Syarlon was the kind of person who would only allow an intermediate being to pass through, and now he believed a human and gave him the mission.

No matter how shocking it was, there was no way that they could overrule the command of Syarlon.

As far as the spirit sanctuary was concerned, the words of guardian Syarlon was the law.

“Ho, I don't think that it is a lie…”

“To entrust the mission to a human and not a intermediate being…”

The two NPCs were glancing Ian up and down, and nodded with an ugly expression of disgust.

“Yeah well, Syarlon would have thought it too.”

“Go on then, friend. Just be careful. The monster machines are stronger than you think.”

Listening to their permission, Ian smiled and stepped up.

‘It's all a matter of judging whether one is dangerous or not, my friends.'

Ian stepped inside the gate without any hesitation.

Woong-!

White light entered from all the directions and then Ian's sight went black.

And as the light faded, the first thing that came into Ian's sight were the numerous messages.

Tring-!

[You have entered the ‘Spirit Mountain'.]

[You have discovered the ‘Spirit Mountain' for the first time!]

[Fame of 300,000 has been increased.]

[For the coming 48 hours, the rewards that will be gotten from the monsters in the Spirit mountain map will be doubled (If the dungeon has been discovered for the first time, the experience gained will be applied).]

[Permanently gains 50 spirit magic (transcendence).]

[Permanently gains 50 summon magic (transcendence).]

[For the 24 hours the spirit skills will be increased by one and a half times.]

[For the 24 hours, the ‘Spirit Savior' buff will be applied.]

[Spirit Savior: the spirit magic and the summon magic will be increased by 30 percent.]

…syncopation…

“Wow!”

Ian spoke up without realizing it.

This was because it was the first time that he had found a buff of such high quality.

In particular, the doubling buff that had been applied when the dungeon had been found was honey like.

‘Well, now if I find the contaminated mine, will the double buff come up again?'

Excited, Ian checked the coordinates of the specified place in the quest window.

He opened the mini map and checked where the mine would be located.

‘It is not as far as Syarlon had stated.'

Ian turned and walked to the north.

Obviously, there were going to be plenty of monsters to hunt in the spirit mountain field, and then he would have the chance to hunt efficiently before the buff runs out.

“Kay, Agbi, Chirpy, let's move this way!”

Ian, who ordered his spirits, and picked up the pace.

However, it had been a while.

Kkik- Giiki-!

Somewhere in the dark forest, the awkward sounds of the machine began to work.

Next to Ian were numerous machine monsters that looked like little monkeys.

-Kariophitecus: Lv 11 (transcendence)

“Uh, this Kim… he surely did not check it!”

It had been 10 hours since he had been killing time in the monitoring room.

Na Ji-chan was very fortunate to find the wrong plan before the dawn.

And it was the work of Kim Ji-yeon, a subordinate of Na Ji-chan.

“Ha, I should have at least checked it much more closely…”

The words were surely like that, however, the expression of Na Ji-chan wasn't so dark.

It wasn't that there wasn't any problem, however, it was clear that it wasn't a bug.

‘The fact is Ji-yeon is the problem, Ian is the problem…'

The monitoring took a lot of time, but the reason for the problem was simple.

The problem was that Ian broke a quest that he shouldn't have.

The quest in the question, of course, was to Kill the Guardian Machine quest.

This quest was originally a quest that needed one being to turn into an intermediate being and then get cleared.

It was because, the named boss monster machine was designed to be unbreakable with the level below 10.

And as it was, the skills of Ian weren't an exception in that.

Even though Ian had a great combat power, he had a single digit transcendence level which won't be able to handle the quick-recovering ability of the Machine Guardian.

No matter how well the patterns of the boss were known for avoiding damage, it was impossible to kill unless the DPS was stronger than the recovery rate.

The problem, however, was the variable called as the ‘Abyss Dragon'.

Even not entirely, the killer stats of the Abyss Dragon had been strengthened, and was the only one that could to block a zion attribute was the Abyss.

‘If the quest trigger condition had to be put as an intermediate being, this wouldn't have happened…'

Na Ji-chan sighed by leaning back into the sofa.

If it was Na Ji-chan who had seen Ian countless times, he would have never made such mistakes.

‘Well, not a big deal. I just need to see what Ian is going to do…'

Fortunately, the quest wasn't a linked quest.

Ian surely entered the spirit mountain in an unusual way, but after the end of the quest, he would have nothing to do.

If he doesn't become an intermediate being; the other quests wont get activated and the transcendence level cannot be raised above 10, so he wont be able to enter the other deep areas of the spirit dimension.

No matter how crazy Ian was, he won't be able to go against those monsters which have twice the level of transcendence.

“Uh, stress!”

Na Ji-chan jumped up from the sofa and opened a cupboard that was in the corner of the monitoring room, then took out a pack of potato chips that he hid.

Opening the packet he lied on the couch.

It had been a while since he had watched the videos of Ian.

Ping-!

As Na Ji-chan operated the remote control, the screen changed.

And Ian's live video began to play on the screen.

Na Ji-chan focused his mind on the screen with a little annoyance.
