-0… … How many zeros are there?
-100 billion GP?
-And Celestial Cube? What is that?
-The alien chairman was a very big man... … .
Although there were viewers who would not budge even with donations of a reasonable amount.
The support that came from outside this time was on a different level.
The recent GP exchange rate is around 2 dollars per 1 GP.
100 billion GP was equivalent to at least 200 billion dollars.
'The invitation to the Palace of Delight was 100 billion GP… … 'What kind of information fee is this?'
Jihan Seong looked at the Celestial Cube in his palm.
A small cube that fits comfortably on top of your hand.
This item, shining in pure white, did not display any particular message.
"What is this used for?"
[The Celestial Cube increases the evolutionary limit set for a species.]"It's a limit to evolution… … "What does that mean?"
[Evolution is essentially the act of species adapting to a given environment. For living things, it is actually correct to see it as change. Just as large creatures are reduced by their environment. However, the evolution on Battle.net is different.]"how?"
[All species participating in Battle.net can develop themselves according to the game's rewards... … Haven't you had this experience too?]'Are you talking about compensation or something like that when colonizing a planet?'
Harvesting resources on planetary exploration maps that benefited all of humanity.
The impact this compensation had on humanity was so enormous that experts predicted that the average human lifespan would increase by several years.
That's why Battle.net's heavy fan base chose the first match against World Tree Elves as the most important game in the Space League.
Among the light fan base, there were many people who chose 'planetary exploration' games that directly benefited them.
-I got really healthy when I was colonizing the planet. The acne on my skin has completely disappeared haha.
-At that time, the dermatology clinic I was working at became so full of flies that I was fired... … The rush for people to get refunds was huge.
-Wow, they said they wouldn't accept a refund, but it was just a change of mind ㅡㅡ
-My father's surgery was also done around that time, and thanks to that, he went through it well and is now healthy... … Thank you always.
Viewers each recall the events of that time and begin to post messages of gratitude.
The planetary exploration was an important turning point that made us realize that Battle.net could be useful to humanity.
"They say that resources were obtained from the planetary exploration map and people became healthier."
[When playing Battle.net, such opportunities come up constantly. So, the races that have survived for a long time on Battle.net have increased lifespan and evolved into bodies suitable for battle... … However, there is a limit to this benefit.]"Is that the evolutionary limit you mentioned earlier?"
[Yes. Bonuses given to the entire race... … This cannot continue to overlap. One day we will reach the 'evolutionary limit'. Does this limit have different settings for all races? It is generally proportional to the 'level' of the race being evaluated. Since you will be at the lowest level, you will reach your limit of evolution that much faster.]-I wonder if I would live in shame as the lowest-ranking race. The limit is low.
-Humanity, the lord of all creation on Earth, is living off the beaten track when it goes to the alien world ㅠㅠ
-You also lost to the last-place join tribe... … .
If it is the lowest level, is the limit generally the lowest level?
Seong Ji-han quietly looked at the Celestial Cube.
'I'm going to get out of Battle.net anyway, so is there any need to use this against humanity?'
No matter how you look at it, the Celestial Cube appears to be useful only to the old races as it accumulates on Battle.net.
It seemed that a race like humanity whose goal was to escape from this world would not be able to reach the evolutionary limit, no matter how low it was.
In the first place, even in my last life, there were no options that gave bonuses to the entire race, such as planetary exploration maps.
Unless it is a special map, it would be difficult to get such an opportunity.
"This has no other use? "Can't you sell it?"
[does not exist. Even if you want to buy it, it is an item that becomes part of your race the moment you get it. It will soon be used on its own.]"Does it write by itself?"
Well, there are all these random items.
Should I just be satisfied with the Celestial Cube as an information fee rather than using it directly?
When Seong Ji-han was thinking like that.
Jiiiing… … !
Light exploded from the pure white cube.
[It was used. Humanity, congratulations on expanding your limits.]It's something I don't think I can reach anyway, so what's the use of increasing it?
Seong Ji-han thought so as he watched the cube disappear.
[This is a race for which the evolution limit on Battle.net has not been set.] [The use of the Celestial Cube will be discontinued.]Pop.
A mechanical sound rang out from the Celestial Cube, and then the light stopped.
* * *
'Isn't there a limit to evolution?'
They say that if you are a lowest-level race, the limit is that low.
This was a completely unexpected situation.
And because it was not a message, but a voice, everyone listened to the limit of humanity.
Viewers reacted violently.
-huh? Wasn't the lowest level also the lowest level?
-humanity… … In fact, it might be great?
-Is this how we can continue to evolve?
-and… … So shouldn't you keep logging in on Battle.net?
-Humanity without limits... … good. If you survive on Battle.net, you will become a god!
-What is God lol? If you don't have a saint, you end up in last place.
-So, you should take advantage of it even more when it is sacred!
The bonus I got from pioneering the planet this time was also huge.
If things like this continue to overlap, it may not be a divine being.
Wouldn't it be possible to get out of the lowest level and grow to a mid-level race?
People who felt the effectiveness of the planet during the pioneering period began to talk about remaining on Battle.net.
Meanwhile.
[What… … There are no limits?]Octine was surprised and did not send a message for a while.
"Do you have anything to say about this?"
Seong Ji-han said he would provide information, but Seong Ji-han said one word to the mute man.
[Do not make vague comments about phenomena that are not in the data… … .]"I guess things like this don't happen often, do you?"
[not really? Not at all. Even with the data of the legendary investor, I, Octane... … I have never heard of a case like this even through hearsay... … but. Having no limits is never a good thing.]"is it."
[Yes. This is something that couldn't have happened in the first place. Battle.net never ignores such deviations... … .]"It's a deviation. "The World Tree elves do all kinds of things, right?"
[They are powerful… … Aren't you powerless?]The World Tree Elves, who have administrators as their backs, and the human race, which has no such thing.
It was obvious which of the two would take the sword first on Battle.net.
"After all that, there isn't much action on Battle.net."
[We may be trying to figure out the cause… … Anyway, no matter when, this bug will eventually be 'fixed'.]"hmm… … ."
[Blue Chip. We will withdraw the equity investment proposal. The risk is too great for that.]"I had no intention of taking a stake anyway."
[It would be dangerous for me to give out conclusive information… … .]-What? Are you subtracting it?
-I'm disappointed, CEO ㅡㅡ
-Even if it's a stake, why aren't you giving me the information?
-Aren't you avoiding getting involved with humanity? Haha.
-No, what is our fault!
When do you want to invest wholeheartedly?
As soon as he heard about humanity's evolutionary limit, Octine tried to take a step back.
He sent a message.
[Before you go, let me tell you one thing. To get a high score in a guild mission, guild members must score evenly. Don't try to do everything alone... … Alone, you cannot beat 20 rounds.]"okay. bye."
[Until you get 'fixed', you often bet... … .]With that, Octine's message ended.
'He's quick to cut losses, like an investment company representative.'
He was an alien viewer who gave me a lot of GP and gave me some useful information.
It's a shame it went like this.
Seong Ji-han thought so and looked at the Celestial Cube.
An item that does not apply to humanity, so it is useless right now.
'I'll take it to Artmu.'
Seong Ji-han thought so and put the Celestial Cube in his inventory.
And, by the time it was over.
[The maintenance period ends.] [Round 11 begins.]The invasion of beings toward the North Wall has begun again.
"Oh, this was defense, right? "The round stopped and I forgot for a moment."
"Well, Seong Ji-han went here and there to subdue different races. "I mistook it for an invasion."
"But we… … "Aren't all the races that were supposed to block the North Wall together gone?"
"I see?"
Originally, it was a guild mission on the north wall where you had to defend against other races.
However, in order to strengthen the guild symbol, Seong Ji-han had already annihilated all other races.
but.
[North Wall – The only remaining race in District 12 is 'humanity'. Difficulty level is adjusted.]This message appears.
Shoooooo… … !
The castle wall, which had been infinitely wide, shrunk again.
The wall was too large for mankind to block.
Although it has not become as small as the castle wall that blocked it until round 10, it has now reached a scale that can be seen by the human eye.
"oh… … !"
"Is it completely profitable to do this?"
and.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssss… … !
Beyond the castle walls, a pure white fog bloomed.
Huge-sized spiritual bodies began to pop out in a heap.
Their appearances were all different.
"uh… … "Aren't they the same race that died earlier?"
"You're already appearing as a ghost."
They were very similar to the other races that died at the hands of Seong Ji-han.
"With three percent of the power shared, I will only step forward when there is danger."
A guild symbol that reached the top 10 before becoming a Celestial Cube.
The ability sharing buff increased from the initial 1% to 3%.
This is maintained even after the symbol is converted to a Celestial Cube.
It was super strengthening the players.
"yes!"
"Please leave it to me!"
"I'm still itching!"
Rankers who shared 3% of Seong Ji-han's abilities and were never able to use their powers.
They were anxious to use it.
While Seong Ji-han watched with his arms crossed.
"and. Uncle, look at this! "The Void Arrow has become a missile!"
"The sword energy can extend this far... … ."
The rankers were feeling how great 3% was.
Yoon Se-ah tore apart the group of ghosts in one go with the Void Arrow, which turned into a gigantic size.
The Sword King split heaven and earth with each swing of his sword, just like when Seong Ji-han used the Three-Jae Sword Technique.
"this. The soccer ball exploded... … ."
Like Masid, there were some cases where his weapon broke because he couldn't control his powerful force.
Most of them were defending the walls with overwhelming force.
-this… … Real humanity?
-No, just how powerful is Sacred Heart? This is 3 percent?
-The rankers have become crazy strong?
-Wow, the difference between a real Grand Master and a Bronze Master wasn't empty talk.
-It kills the sacred totem effect. I guess I can just keep my arms crossed like this haha.
Rankers have become so powerful that viewers will be surprised.
[Cleared round 11.]They continued to clear the round even without Seong Ji-han.
[Cleared round 19.] [The final round begins.]And before we knew it, the guild mission was coming to an end.
* * *
Meanwhile.
Star of War, Tuseong.
"There are no limits... … "Humanity?"
While regaining strength.
Longinus, who was watching Seong Ji-han's channel, opened his eyes wide.
Humanity is one of the weakest races in the Battle.net world.
But there are no limits to this race.
Even for someone who had ascended to the Constellation, this fact was surprising.
at that time.
"You were seeing what I was seeing. Longinus."
In Longinus' territory, Gilgamesh suddenly appeared.
"… … Gilgamesh? "What happened?"
"What happened to the recovery of strength?"
"… … "We still need a little more time."
"how much?"
"I don't know for sure. It will take several months. "Maybe it will take close to a year."
To Gilgamesh's question, which he could not understand, Longinus gave a vague answer.
"Up to one year… … And then when he becomes a candidate for the Holy See, he will be untouchable."
"Is it because of the penalty for touching a candidate for the Holy See? Anyway, it's a problem I have to deal with. "I don't think it's anything you should worry about."
"No, the problem is that now you are not the only one taking the penalty. "That guy had an accident earlier."
"Are you saying that it has been revealed that humanity has no limits?"
"that's right."
"… … "You know something about that."
Gilgamesh just smiled and did not answer Longinus' question.
instead.
"I will help you regain your strength."
"What… … ."
"So that you can descend before he becomes a candidate for the Holy See."
An unexpected proposal was made to Longinus.
