Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 436: Return (3)

Exactly 30 days since the ‘Advance Party’ event started.

“It’s today, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

“How many of them will come back alive?”

“Well…”

“By the way, Juyong Hong will for sure come back alive, right?”

“Of course. It’s Juyoung Hong.”

“Then there’s definitely gonna be a huge fuss here.”

“I guess so. More than 4,000 people died, including those who have raised the reality actualization rate, not to mention those who were permanently injured.

“Will Juyoung Hong stay still?”

“I don’t know. First of all, we should know the identity of the attacker. But no one knows.”

“That’s enough. I just hope that the secret about ‘Revival Legend’ will be revealed.”

“Don’t worry. I think the survivors will bring some information.”

There were lots of rumors and talk about Juyoung Hong’s return on a global scale.

For the information that has been concealed about the place in the other world will be revealed when those who participated in the Advance Party event to go to a place called ??? returned.

And there were some parties that particularly paid attention to the Advance Party event. They were none other than those belonging to the information guilds.

Even though the ‘Advance Party’ event was very dangerous, they could not sit idle, so all of the information guilds sent some of their members to participate in the event because only one of them needed to come back alive to get the information. And among them were the members of Antalagos Guild, the undisputed leader of the information world.

At the headquarters of the Antalagos Intelligence Guild in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“How much time is left?”

“Exactly nine minutes left.”

“Didn’t you say 9 minutes earlier?”

“Because you asked the same question less than 10 seconds ago.”

“Oops, did I?”

The leader of the Antaragos Information Guild, Oliveira, laughed out loud at his deputy’s words. As a matter of fact, Oliveira knew right from the start that this ‘Advance Party’ event was so important that it could be called a turning point in everything that would happen in the future. It was natural that his guild would no longer keep its reputation as the information guild leader if he did nothing simply because the mission was dangerous.

So, Oliveira included some of those who were called the future of his guild in the Advance Party.

“How many survivors did you say were left?”

“The last time we checked, it was 2,388 people.”

“That’s a lot.”

“Yes. So I don’t think you need to worry. All of them were thoroughly prepared before participating in the event.”

Even though the guild could track the remaining number of survivors through their special abilities, they could not confirm the survival of specific members, so the deputy tried to assuage his boss’s concerns. So Oliveira waited, tapping the desk with his fingers exactly at the same place where 30 people of his guild moved to ??? at the same time.

9 minutes later.

Shuuuuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuuuung- Shunnnnnnnnnng-

People began to appear all of a sudden.

Oliveria confirmed that a total of 23 people appeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief because the fact that 23 out of 30 people survived was definitely something he could be proud of.

Of course, there was something more important than that in his mind, so he quickly opened his mouth, “Juyoung Hong! What happened to him?”

Of course, he didn’t ask the question, assuming he was killed.

He was just curious how Juyoung Hong performed there.

If Juyoung was a mediocre performer there, the future of the Earth would have no hope or face a bleak future.

At that moment Bruno, who participated in the Advance Party event as the captain among the 30 members, opened his mouth. Messages kept ringing in succession, but Olivera needed to listen to his answer first.

“Juyoung Hong was the best we have ever seen.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

When Bruno said that, everyone including the guild leader Oliveira, who had been waiting for the survivors earnestly did not say anything because they already noticed what he meant.

***

In Melbourne, Australia.

Shunnnnnnnnng- Shunnnnnnnnnnn- Shuuuuuuuuuuuung-

The top leaders of the Carnabon Guild, one of the top three guilds in Australia, were also earnestly waiting for their survivors. Watching them appear one by one, they shouted for joy. All 25 members of their guild who participated in the event returned alive

. In other words, their mission was a perfect success.

Of course, not all of those present were like that.

Some obviously cheered sincerely, but others looked at them with envy and jealousy.

They gave up because they thought it was too dangerous, but the fact that everyone returned safely means that it was probably safer and easier than they thought. And the rewards of those who returned would be huge. Anyhow, amidst such mixed emotions, the guild leader Walgart calmed down their excitement and led all 25 survivors to the small meeting room.

With the leaders of the Carnabon Guild, including Guild Leader Walgart, attending the meeting, Taylor, who participated as a leader among 25 people, began to comment on the place.

“It was called Kuhana. It was also the place where our real and final enemy was. And it was divided into Royal Districts, Major Districts, Regular Districts, Rookied Districts, and other districts that didn’t even fit into the rookie category.”

After Taylor’s briefing, the 25 people who participated in the event flashed out his story with more details.

Taylor continued, “There were a lot of strong people there. So much so that out of everyone who participated in the event from Earth, only a few could be qualified to belong to the Major District, only 3% could be qualified for the Regular, and about 20% for the Rookie District, and the rest could not even be fit for the Rookie areas. Of course, the numbers I gave you are pretty conservative.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Hearing what he said, the top leaders, including the Guild Leader Walgart, hardened their faces because his words implied that there was a huge difference in strength between Earth and Kuhana.

Taylor continued, “Looking at them, it made me think that they started ‘Revival Legend’ at least five years ago, maybe even longer than us.”

They began to whisper to each other right away.

Taylor’s words certainly had a strong impact, and the small meeting room of the Carnabon Guild became noisy for a while.

“Everyone, be quiet! There is still more we have to listen to!”

The small meeting room, which had been noisy for a while, was silenced by Guild Leader Walgart’s order. Then Guild Leader Walgart immediately opened his mouth to Taylor, “Then what happened to Juyoung Hong?”

“Well, wasn’t he outside our judgement from the beginning? That’s the same in their areas, too. For him, all the Districts there including Major, Regular, Rookie, and even the Royal Districts were like his backyard.”

As soon as he broached the topic, he talked about Juyoung Hong a lot more for a while.

For example, although the black liquid man who appeared on Earth was allegedly weakened by passing through a small hole leading to Earth, he was actually the ruler of the 4th Royal District there. But Hong not only killed the 4th ruler but also the rulers of the 7th and 10th Royal Districts while he was in Kuhana.

Then somebody behind Taylor also praised Juyoung Hong’s brilliant performance because his outstanding performance there made him feel proud he was from the same planet.

After he detailed Juyoung Hong’s exceptional performance, Taylor added cautiously at the end of his briefing, “By the way, Juyoung Hong will become stronger because of his enormous rewards. Reveal reward!”
