'Artmu. Did he participate in this game too?'
A dwarven player who calls himself the best blacksmith in the universe.
In the last game, he was brainwashed by the Blue Blood Demon and committed suicide by Seong Ji-han.
-you… … I'm sorry about last time. But is there any equipment you would like to buy? I'll give you a special price.
Along with the apology message, he expressed his intention not to buy the product.
At first, they said they were selling items at a special price, so Seong Ji-han also showed interest.
-But... … The damage I suffered from the self-destruct mode was too severe.
-It was written in the game, but it wasn't restored?
- Perhaps because it was a self-destruction that gathered everything while brainwashed, there were too many items that could not be recovered... … In order to resume the production process, we must first restore it.
-So what do you want?
-that… … Could you please invest some GP for me?
While carrying out a suicide attack, Artmu asked for GP investment.
Still, Seong Ji-han initially tried to invest GP in order to maintain a relationship with the blacksmith.
-oh. Is it possible to invest? So how about 100 billion GP?
-does not exist. That kind of money.
-Then 99 billion GP is… … .
-Fold it.
The amount demanded by the other party was too large, so they stopped investing and were not contacted.
-good. then… … How about 50 billion GP?
Nevertheless, Artmu sent a message every day and lowered the price slightly.
-good! 30 billion. How about 30 billion GP? In order for you to use the ticket you received from me last time, shouldn't the blacksmith shop be normalized? If you invest this time, I'll even give you a 10% discount on blacksmithing for 100 years!
Not long ago, he reduced the investment amount to 30 billion won, saying it was unprecedented.
Seong Ji-han has not responded to this message at all.
'I guess I'll have to ask how you got into the Hall of Fame.'
For the epic quest reward, he responded to Artmu.
-Artmu. How did you get into the Hall of Fame?
-You finally give me an answer... … But Hall of Fame? I? where?
- In the league competition, 'Planet Exploration'.
-Ah~ That map? Was I in the Hall of Fame there? All I did was pioneer... … Please wait a moment.
Meanwhile, a sales offer came in from Artmu, who had stopped sending messages for a while.
-[22nd Evolved Dwarf Biological Robot] Would you like to buy it? It will be helpful in pioneering. Selling for 1 billion GP per unit.
-Is it worth using?
-Although it is an old model, it was put to good use when colonizing planets. Your race is at the lowest level like ours, so the older dwarves would be more helpful.
Artmu continues to participate in Battle.net for the evolution of the dwarves.
He seemed to be taking this opportunity to take stock of the old dwarf robot.
Seong Ji-han clearly saw his intentions.
'Clearing epic quests is important now.'
Rather than just GP, developing martial spirit was the most urgent priority.
-Just give me 10 for now.
-i get it. Packaging the robot and preparing it for transport. It will take about an hour. sir! At that time, I will open a trading window!
Then the message window disappears.
'I guess I'll have to continue playing the game in the meantime.'
Seong Ji-han looked around.
The mission goal to complete the colony was shared with all players.
"so… … "What should we do?"
"well. "They tell us to build a colony. How do we do this?"
"It's not like the players should build it themselves… … ."
It was a situation where everyone had their eyes wide open, not knowing what to do.
In the first place, Battle.net was a combat game.
Because there was no case where I was told to make something.
at that time.
[Collect planet points and build a base camp!] [Planet points increase when you catch native life forms on the planet or acquire valuable items.] [The 'leader' of the First Guild has the authority to use planet points. .] [*Caution: If the leader of the First Guild dies, the race is immediately eliminated from planet colonization.]A system message appeared, giving directions to the players.
"Let's start by collecting planet points. Those in charge of each guild, please return to your original guild and scout the surrounding area."
"All right."
"I will go north. It looks like there's something huge out there. "Let's go and earn points."
The human players looked at each other.
Planet colonization ends when the leader dies.
If you're going to play standard, the leader should be in the safest place... … .
'Who will catch this famous player?'
'And if there are enough enemies to catch him, isn't the game over anyway?'
The players, who knew Seong Ji-han's transcendent power better than anyone else, did not think about stopping his actions.
"Have a good trip, uncle~ I earned a lot of points~"
"okay. "You're scouting too."
"huh. "I have to be in the top 10 too!"
"Brother-in-law. "I would like to ask guild players to stand by while I am gone."
"okay. Have a nice trip."
Excluding other guild leaders, there were a total of 6 people who participated purely from standby guilds.
Father and daughter Seong Ji-han and Yoon Se-jin.
Akari, Mashid, and Sophia participated.
"Jihan~ Are you sure you've accepted me as a standby guild now?"
"No, I need a supporter."
Originally, Lim Ga-young belonged to the original standby guild.
Because my level was far behind that of the participating players, and because I needed a support position, I was unable to participate in this competitive match.
Sophia smiled at Seong Ji-han's answer and looked to the side.
"Hey, just take me. I gave up on American First too, right? "Guild Master?"
"Sofia is an excellent supporter, but we will only give up if the player wants it. "Take as much as you want."
Even Oliver, the American First Guild Master, helped out with a friendly smile.
"Well, let me think about it. Then I'll come back!"
"oh. Positive answer! Jihan~ Before I go, I'll give you a buff!"
Flash!
When the buff came into Seong Ji-han's body with a sparkling white light, he had a calm expression at first.
Grumbling… … !
He wondered if the light would disappear, but when it finally burned and disappeared, he opened his eyes wide.
'The buff… … Does it apply?'
After gaining martial spirit, the supporters' buffs did not apply to him.
Instead, it is possible to strengthen the body with the power of the void, so I amplified my power with the void.
Although Sophia's buff this time wasn't 100% effective, it definitely strengthened her.
"Does the buff also include the power of sacred fire?"
"yes. that's right! If you use it once, your divine power will be depleted... … I paid some attention! lol."
"This is good."
At Seong Ji-han's praise, Sophia opened her eyes round and immediately smiled.
"To receive that kind of evaluation from Jihan... … "It's rewarding to have received instruction from the Holy See!"
"Then let's experiment with the buff effect."
Shoo!
Jihan Seong wore a buff containing a sacred fire and launched a light attack to the north.
Not long after he advanced.
Key profit… … !
A huge centipede jumped out from the sandy bottom and blocked his path.
'Let's try to earn some points.'
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Eclipse bloomed from Seong Ji-han's left hand, and he lightly slashed it vertically with his sword.
Chiiik!
A giant centipede that splits with one sword.
The centipede's torn body falls to the sandy bottom.
Ssssss… … .
From underneath, countless swarms of large ants jumped out.
Scavengers trying to eat a giant centipede.
'Good.'
Seong Ji-han took out the Phoenix flag from his inventory and threw it into the sky.
Honwon Shingong Clean Yuan God Skills
Heavenly Thunder God's description
Heavenly Judgment
Then, one by one, huge circular holes began to open in the sky.
A huge thunderbolt filled with red thunderbolts appeared inside.
Jijijijik… … !
A giant spear that falls from the sky to the ground.
It wasn't just the swarm of ants that were targeting the centipede's corpse.
Even the native life forms of numerous planets hiding beneath the sandy bottom were annihilated.
[Acquire 1121 planet points.] [Building a base camp is possible.]With just one attack, Seong Ji-han earned the points needed to build a camp.
-This isn't planet colonization, it's massacre.
-Wasn't that a hole in the sky with just one window sticking out? When will it be upgraded to 5?
-I know. Seong Ji-han grew up in the blink of an eye... … .
-I think it was originally a system where the leader had to be protected while colonizing the planet, but he just wiped out everything by himself haha.
-protect? Who is protecting whom? Haha. It's a good thing if 499 people don't grab the sacred ankle.
-I wish I could continue to see him from the same perspective. Is this 'comfort'? … .
While watching the land being devastated, subscribers praised him for being more reliable than anyone else when they were on the same side.
In fact, Seong Ji-han looked at the black, burning earth with dissatisfied eyes.
'Even with the buff, is 5 the limit? There is still a big difference with Musin.'
The power shown by the God of War when he invaded the God Throne of the Thunder God.
It was a scale that the current Seong Ji-han could not possibly approach.
Even though he was not able to include the Red Lightning in the Judgment of Heaven, the number of spears summoned was very different.
'There's a long way to go.'
I heard you ranked first in the human race.
The gap between the martial spirit and the martial spirit that had to be fought over was still the difference between heaven and earth.
'Well, I had to float up to 6 Heavenly Judgments.'
Although base camp construction points were earned, Seong Ji-han did not return for training and continued moving forward.
[Acquire 1006 planet points.] [Acquire 1377 planet points.]Seong Ji-han, who was collecting points alone like that, dyed the ground black.
[You have entered the territory of a rival race, the Join people.]I was able to face the 'Join Tribe', one of the matched races before the league competition.
* * *
Join people.
A race of humanoids with bird heads and wings.
He was a regular customer who ranked lowest along with Uruk and humanity.
Although its physical strength is weaker than that of Uruk, and its sophistication is less than that of humans.
Still, there was only one reason why they did not fall into the relegation battle at the last moment, finishing in 18th place.
'The ability to fly was very useful.'
A group of people capable of high-speed flight.
They thoroughly selected a map that suited them and piled up victories one after another.
Humanity also lost several games against them due to incorrect map drawing.
Phew. Phew.
Seong Ji-han thinks about the past and does not stop moving forward.
Several members of the Join tribe were flying in the sky, observing Seong Jihan.
"humanity… … ."
"Are you a 4th ranked race?"
"It doesn't seem that strong on the outside."
"surface? "After being treated like that by an elf, are you still going to be fooled by something like that?"
Did the Join tribe, currently ranked 20th, also play against the Elves?
Even after seeing Seong Ji-han's appearance, he did not let his guard down at all.
'It's annoying to be next to you. I guess I'll have to organize it in advance.'
Seong Ji-han saw the Join people like that and tried to wipe out the enemy as he headed north.
At that time, a system message appeared in his eyes.
[*Caution: This is the pioneer protection period.] [During the pioneer protection period, a strong debuff will be activated when you invade the territory of the opposing race. At the same time, a 'protection' buff is granted to the invaded race.] [The pioneer protection period is applied until the third day after the start of the game.]Pioneer Protection Period.
This period is from the beginning of planet colonization to the third day.
It served as a device to prevent pioneer races from clashing with each other from the start.
"Kiik! Kiik!"
"Pioneer protection?"
And isn't this message only shown to Seong Ji-han?
The movements of the joiners flying around him began to become provocative.
Phew! Phew!
"A wingless, unsightly lower race!"
"You guys can't even do this? ruler! "Start!"
Snap! Squeak!
A yellow liquid delicately flies towards Seong Ji-han from the sky.
"Hi-Hi. Hehehe! "Pee fire!"
"I want it!"
Believing only in the period of pioneer protection, the Zhao people threw filth at Seong Ji-han.
If you get hit by this and run away, it's good because you've brought shame to your opponent.
If you fall for the provocation and counterattack, a buff or debuff will be activated, allowing you to overpower the opposing player.
Whatever it is, it's beneficial.
The Join people thought so and chatted happily.
"It's still vulgar."
"key… … urg?"
No sooner had Seong Ji-han finished speaking.
Chiiik!
Along with the covered dirt, the group of Joiners flying in the sky all burst into flames.
"You just do it."
Although the Join tribe's latest provocation itself was a reasonable decision to make.
"Do it for the lowest."
Unfortunately, I chose the wrong opponent.
