'A constellation-level being appears here... … Also Battle.net. There is no such thing as balance.'
Seong Ji-han, who contributed to the destruction of Battle.net's balance, thought about this and recalled an incident from his last life.
'Last time, they ignored this side, but then launched a surprise attack the day before the end of the settlement.'
Planet exploration that lasts for two weeks.
Humanity was achieving good results in planetary exploration, but was destroyed on the last day by a surprise attack by the World Tree Elves.
An elf who led huge wooden giants and immediately trampled on humanity's base camp.
The World Tree Elf who already executed the human players in the first game.
It showed an overwhelming appearance even during planetary exploration, establishing itself as a terror to humanity.
'But I had never seen a Go-Elf before... … Surely you didn't come because of me?'
A high elf who is an elder of the world tree elf group and is said to have a force comparable to that of a constellation.
In the process of returning the modified Seed of Life to Battle.net, he threatened Jihan Seong that he should not hand it over to the system.
When Seong Ji-han reluctantly returned the Seed of Life, he became enraged and attempted to attack Earth.
However, because the Earth was a 'world where experiments had already taken place', entry was impossible, and the return of the seeds had already been completed.
But because of that, did the Constellation participate in the Bronze League league competition?
'no. The constellation would not be so idle. Since he came down for another purpose, isn't it because he saw me and wanted to deal with it?'
In fact, if you wanted to kill Seong Ji-han, you could attack right away instead of cutting off the heads of the human players like that.
There was no reason to say, 'Enjoy your free time now.'
Right now, does he have something to do?
When Seong Ji-han was thinking about the Go Elf's intentions.
[Go Elf… … He participated in planet colonization. That's amazing.]Ariel spoke to him from his arm.
"Do you know anything about this?"
[I have no information about Go Elves other than what the Shadow Queen told me last time. However, I have heard many stories that the World Tree elves are deeply interested in planet exploration. This may be because of the resources that can only be obtained here.]"You mean something like the seven hearts that benefited humanity?"
[okay. Although the benefits provided by resources are small, it is important that they are applied to the entire species at once. Even though it is Battle.net, this is like a miracle.]Rather than the evolution of the race itself, which has become stronger in vitality.
Ariel continued, commenting that it was amazing that as soon as one item was acquired, it was applied to all items.
[So, it was speculated that the resources of the 'Planet Collaboration' map were the main reason why the World Tree Elves kept participating in the Bronze League. However, even if that guess is not all, it seems that a certain part of it is correct. As long as the Go-elfs participate in planetary exploration.]"Aside from the Bronze League, isn't there a planetary exploration map on it?"
[does not exist. The planetary exploration map can be said to be a benefit for beginners in the Bronze League. The Shadow Queen also regretted that she should have brought more resources from the planetary colonization map.]"oh. okay? "Are you guys also in the Hall of Fame?"
[Hall of Fame… … We probably would have entered in the top 100.]"Up to 100? I heard it was 100th place art. "It looks like you were pushed by her."
[what? He took 100th place?]The Hall of Fame leaderboard that only appeared on Seong Ji-han.
Looking at Ariel's reaction, Shadow Queen used to be ranked 100th.
It seemed like the rankings were pushed back with Artmu's entry.
[We also conquered this pioneering continent on the 6th day, and from then on we continued to acquire resources... … I can't believe I'm being pushed out by Artmu, who runs the game by himself.]"hmm. Still, I can't believe I got kicked out of the top 100. Hall of Fame, the hurdles are high."
[After all, it is a game in which countless races across the universe are competing. Ranking in the top 100 is also great.]"When it comes to planetary exploration, do you have any useful tips?"
[This is a special tip… … We went the laboratory strengthening route.]"Lab?"
[When constructing a building, various derivative buildings are created in addition to the basic building. Among these, the research institute improves the quality of the resources collected. However, the path you and we must take will be different.]"why?"
[If we get the 'Seven Hearts of Native Species', our vitality will not increase, but it will work for you, right?]Seong Ji-han nodded at those words.
"Is there a difference in resource efficiency between the lowest- and upper-middle-level species?"
[okay. For your species, quantity will be more important than quality. The resource management route would be better.]"Thanks for the tip. But to know this... … "Aren't you the real queen?"
[Is that the story again? How busy is the Queen to be here in her arms like this? She only knows because she watched the entire process from the side.]At the same time, Ariel regained her strength and entered my arms.
Seong Ji-han watched it for a moment and then opened his mouth.
"Leadership Authority."
Tiring!
Then a window appeared in front of Seong Ji-han.
This 'leadership authority' given to the leader after the construction of the base camp was the authority to construct buildings through planet points.
'There were so many different types that I was worried about what to build, but thanks to Ariel's tips, I can see the direction.'
In the leader authority window, there are buildings specialized for defense, attack, and reconnaissance.
There were numerous types of buildings, including research centers, resource management centers, and resurrection sanctuaries.
Among these, Seong Ji-han invested heavily in the resource management center.
[Would you like to make additional use of the Join people's 'Sky' ability at the Resource Management Center?] [10,000 Planet Points are required.]"Add."
Kurrrrrr… … !
Then the ground split open, and a modern building rose up.
The entire building floated into the sky.
Not only the resource management office, Seong Ji-han had added drilling capabilities to all the buildings he was building.
Although I did use up quite a bit of planet points.
'The additional effects are worth using.'
[The territory of the race 'Humanity' is further expanded by the Sky characteristic.]Area expansion is basic.
[Flight ability is added to the resource collector, '22nd Evolutionary Biorobot Dwarf'.] [Resource collection ability increases by 100%, and the movement speed of all players increases.]Depending on the building, additional characteristics are given.
Seong Ji-han developed the building into a resource management office for a long time.
'I'm out of planet points. I'll have to go get it again.'
I turned my gaze to the south.
After Zhuge Heon and the People's Association players died, all human players retreated from there.
'Unless Go Elf comes forward, it's easy to catch a regular World Tree Elf. I guess I should go. 'I also want to do elf scouting.'
Then, if Go Elf came out and tried to subdue Seong Ji-han, the game would end like this.
'This is the guy who tried to come to Earth to catch me. If he was going to kill him, he would have come long ago.'
Seong Ji-han took note of the fact that he only made threats but did not take action.
Conversely, he decided to go south himself.
"Other players, please only scout east, west, and north."
"Seong Ji-han… … Are you planning to go south?"
"Jegalheon, who was logged out, said that the World Tree elves were monsters and that I should never go to the south… … ."
"There has to be someone to deal with those monsters."
"I… … Rather than taking risks, wouldn't it be better to stay in a safe place until you can harvest the resources? "If Seong Ji-han dies in the unlikely event, planetary exploration will end like this."
"How could it not be possible, at least until the purchase of the dwarf biorobot is completed… … ."
A situation in which the American First player and the People's Association player, who are not on good terms with each other, join together to worry about Seong Ji-han's southward movement.
Seong Ji-han had a vague idea why they were doing this.
'It looks like you got a taste of vitality and got excited.'
The biggest concern for wealthy people who have achieved enough is their health.
From their perspective, resource extraction is more important than scouting the situation in the south.
but.
"I haven't heard from Artmu yet. "I'll be back soon."
For Seong Ji-han, entering the 'Hall of Fame' was more important than resources.
And the biggest obstacle to this is the World Tree Elves located in the south.
Despite people's concerns, he tried to head south.
-sir. Big deal. This is a big deal!
At that time, an urgent message arrived from Artmu.
* * *
Artmu said that the blacksmith shop was shaking and that he would come and see.
He sent messages to Seong Ji-han in succession.
-I thought the blacksmith shop was strange... … There was a red lion!
-What about your body? I saw it a lot. The red thunderbolt you used. That's what it's made of!
-So I asked. Who are you? So what do you think I answered?
-He said he was the god of thunder! Thunderer! Among gods, the Thunder God is famous for being powerful!
'If it's a red lion... … The leader of the Raijin who absorbed the lightning. He's there?'
Seong Ji-han's eyes lit up as he read Artmu's message.
The Thunder God was defeated in a battle with the God of War and was disintegrated.
Not long ago, the name of 'Rain God' disappeared from Seong Ji-han's constellation slot, so I thought I was truly finished with the God of War.
It seemed like the leader of the Raijin had somehow survived.
-But of course. He kept growling and asking me where the sacred place was... … What kind of disrespect have you committed against the Thunder God?
-What is Buddhist scripture? It was a transactional relationship.
-hmm. you… … Could you come to me now?
-why? I'm busy exploring planets. I can't afford to waste time.
-It only takes a moment. Just a moment! I'll give you 10 more new biological robots!
-A new model?
I'm not the type of person who would just give away 10 new models.
Seong Ji-han saw Artmu's urgent message, and his suspicions deepened.
-Is Thunder God threatening to bring me back?
-Uh, um. No, it's even a threat... … I really want to see your face at least once. You say you have something to talk about.
-If you have something to say, say it in a message. Don't call me busy.
-… … Be honest. He's threatening to blow up my blacksmith shop if I don't call him.
-Blow it up... … That's too bad.
-right? So will you come?
-no. If there's a problem there, I won't be able to return to Earth.
I wonder if it was in a game.
If I went there in real life, if a conflict broke out and Artmu's blacksmith shop exploded, it was obvious that I would be lost in the universe.
There is no need to take that risk.
-Of course I will let you return, so why worry about that?
-That's it. I'm not going. Please contact me when the biorobot packaging is finished.
-for a moment… … ! okay. If it comes out like this, they won't sell robots!
-Like that. They say they will buy junk for a high price, but if they don't sell it, it's their loss.
-Oh please… … !
After that, Artmu kept sending messages to Seong Ji-han, asking him to save me.
Seong Ji-han completely ignored this.
If you go there for no reason and can't return, not only yourself but humanity will end.
'It seems like the addition of biological robots has been overlooked. 'I guess I'll have to catch an elf.'
Seong Ji-han pretended not to have seen the message and continued heading south.
"Why, why can't I log out? Only the neck remained... … !"
"Ugh… … !"
"Lord, kill me… … ."
After hearing the screams of the Earth players, I went there.
There were three elves who looked exactly the same, even their bangs were green.
Ten human players were being decapitated and something was being applied to the cut sections.
"You're using the sap of the World Tree on these guys… … "It's a shame."
"Do it anyway. "My ancestors said it was necessary."
"I can't believe you found a use even for this trash species. "As expected, our ancestors are amazing."
"That's right. It's extremely weak. "How are they in fourth place, these guys?"
A high elf with green hair.
They were chatting with each other as they quickly defeated humanity's top players.
Then, when Seong Ji-han appeared, attention immediately focused on him.
At first, his eyes were calm.
"This energy… … ."
"I sense the energy of life in the author!"
The high elf was agitated, perhaps because of the life energy that Seong Ji-han had absorbed.
[That's fake. Kill him and leave only the head.]However, when the voice of Go Elf was heard from the sky.
"Seo, the ancestor said. "Don't be fooled!"
"Follow the orders! "Only the neck is left!"
The three all raised wooden swords and flew toward Seong Ji-han.
Movement is incomparably faster than that of human players.
But Seong Ji-han.
'High Elf… … I'll give you some points.'
He smiled leisurely and took out his sword.
