'Constellation fame, what is it used for?'
Seong Ji-han saw the reward for the first time and asked the constellation, the Shadow Queen.
[Constellation fame? There is no specific place to use it. It can be thought of as the honor points of the person who became a Constellation.]
"okay? "So is it like achievement points?"
[Achievement points… … You can see it that way. Achievements after becoming a Constellation are based on reputation.]
Seong Ji-han's eyes lit up when he heard those words.
Achievement points that are considered useless to the average player.
However, for Seong Ji-han, it was very useful through his own achievement store.
'Maybe there will be a store related to the constellation's reputation.'
First of all, I need to save up my reputation points.
Seong Ji-han thought so and took out the Eclipse.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
I drew my sword horizontally.
OK.
Pajik.
Sparks flew out of the test tube where the players were trapped, and they all shattered at once.
[Director, the laboratory must not be opened no matter what happens.]
When the Little Great Spirit saw this, he quickly tried to dissuade Seong Jihan.
"Okay. I received a top secret mission. "Let the players leave it alone for now."
[…] … All right.]
Unable to disobey Seong Ji-han's words, he went back to his work.
And one by one, the players stumble in the broken test tube.
"ah… … ."
"Fu, are you free?"
They looked at their bodies in disbelief.
"log out!"
I tried to get out of the game right away.
"Oops, I can't log out… … ."
"What a damn map. The World Tree elf should have been more careful when bringing this out... … ."
Maybe it's because it's a special map where the World Tree Alliance's evil forces are unleashed.
Even after escaping from the test tube, players were unable to log out voluntarily.
"Well, if I die myself, I might be able to get out of here…" … !"
In the end, several of them attempted suicide by grabbing their own necks.
"My body is so healthy, it's hard to die."
"I'm fine even if I have trouble breathing, something like this…" … ."
Is it because of the treatment that was tested and administered by the Great Spirit?
Even though they wanted to die, they couldn't.
In particular, players who seem to have a harder time dying because their weapons and everything have been taken away.
Seong Ji-han spoke to them.
"Shall I kill you instead?"
"you are… … ."
"I'm the one who released you."
Liberation of emergency mission objectives.
To achieve this, there was no need to carry them around.
After all, this is inside the game map.
If players could log out when they die, that would also be liberation.
At Seong Ji-han's suggestion, one of the players looked at each other for a moment and took the first step.
"Please kill me first!"
"good."
Sigh!
When Seong Ji-han's sword grazed the player, his body was split in half.
Although he was an opponent who seemed like he would die in such a single blow.
"uh?"
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Blood vessels popped out between the split bodies, reconnecting the body parts.
Then, the body regenerates in an instant.
He displayed something similar to the healing power possessed by elves.
"Well, what is it? I've never had anything like this... … ."
"Is this the aftermath of the experiment? It makes it impossible for you to die... … !"
Is it the power of the regenerative agent administered during the experiment?
The players looked disappointed.
"You just have to cut more."
Sigh!
Seong Ji-han's sword turned purple and moved several times in an instant.
Then the player is divided into dozens of pieces.
The blood vessels in my body started popping out, trying to connect my body again.
Grumbling… … !
The self-awareness containing the void stirred and completely blocked regeneration.
and.
Flash!
A player who is completely declared a warrior and logs out.
[One player has been liberated.]
At the same time, a message appeared to Seong Ji-han that liberation had been completed.
"Oh, I'm logged out!"
"W-Is it possible to get out of here…?" … !"
"Please kill me too!"
Players get excited when they see that.
They were alien races of different sizes and appearances, but they all wanted to be killed by Seong Ji-han.
"okay."
Cheeeeeek!
According to the players' requests, I logged them out.
[Level increases by 1.]
A level up message appeared on Seong Ji-han's system window.
'It's not common to level up in-game.'
When you defeat a strong enemy with a large level difference, your level goes up right away.
Originally, the level increased intensively when settlement was made after the game was over.
But does saying that you cut down a few people mean that the opponent's level is high?
Seong Ji-han stopped swinging his sword and asked them.
"What level are you guys?"
"I, 401… … ."
"It's 414."
The number of experimental subjects exceeds 400 by default.
Seong Ji-han was the lowest level here.
"You were a high level. everyone."
"You're a high rep... … "Isn't the Constellation the highest level?"
"A constellation. "I'm still in my 300s."
"yes? No, with that power… … ."
"Yeah, I'll catch you guys and level up."
Swish!
Seong Ji-han's sword moved, and the test object began to be swept away.
[Emergency quest cleared.]
[Acquire 100 constellation fame.]
An emergency quest that was cleared so easily.
[Level increases by 2.]
In addition, leveling up was also beneficial in its own way.
[Administrator. The act of logging out a test subject is taboo in the laboratory.]
"Would you like to give me some regenerating agent?"
Seong Ji-han extended his hand to the Great Spirit who was warning him.
A regenerative agent from the World Tree Alliance that showed surprising efficacy on test subjects.
Seong Ji-han, who personally experienced the performance by cutting them down, decided to take care of it.
[We must prioritize data transfer now.]
"Then take a picture of the location."
[It is there.]
Flashing.
One side of the laboratory.
When the light sparkled in a place full of glass bottles, Seong Ji-han went there.
'There are so many. There's no need to just bring rejuvenating agents.'
I put dozens of glass bottles into my inventory.
-Look at it being swept away haha.
-They even pull out the pillars of sacred sites and eat them.
-The position of management director is very good... … .
I was worried that he would be executed, but Seong Ji-han actually acted as if this was his home.
Viewers said they were Seong Ji-han and watched the last game comfortably.
and.
'Until it's over, let's take care of more of these.'
When Seong Ji-han decided to take this instead of the players' items.
Flash!
An intense light burst from the direction of the Great Spirit that was transmitting data for a while.
[Administrator. An order has been given to blow up the laboratory. Self-destruction proceeds.]
To what extent has data transmission been completed?
Flames flickered from the Great Spirit's body.
pop! pop!
Explosions started happening everywhere.
A void rushing from the floor at high speed.
The Great Spirit begins to self-destruct in various places in the laboratory.
The Constellation Research Institute was collapsing, both upstairs and downstairs.
'The end is really coming. Let's run diligently.'
Opportunity to level up and acquire items.
I couldn't miss it.
Jiyiing.
A screen appears in the air.
[…] … sir. You ended up closing the lab map. Are you satisfied?]
The branch manager with a tired expression began to speak.
"No, why are you closing it down so quickly? "I need to level up further."
[Level up… … under.]
The branch manager looked at Seong Ji-han as if it was absurd as he was busy running around and destroying test tubes.
Tuk. Tuk.
He tapped his mask and got to the point.
[Would you please return the mask I gave you?]
"You can't ask for something back that was given to you."
[That was given to you because I thought you would become a member of Yggdrasil's clan. For a moment, you might be fascinated by the power of the void contained within... … If the user is not periodically purified by Yggdrasil, the user will eventually be eaten by the object.]
his words.
I felt like I knew what it meant.
Seong Ji-han, whose void level increased by 4 even though he only briefly dealt with the void inside the mask.
If you use this a few more times, it will eventually exceed the void value that the player can possess.
The player will then become bound to the Will of the Void.
The 'purification' of Yggdrasil would be a way to solve this problem.
"okay. "Are you worried about me, so you're asking me to give it back to you for free?"
[Are you the one who will give it for free? Please come to the loan window. I am… … I will pay you a very high price for the goods.]
The branch manager speaks through clenched teeth.
Seong Ji-han looked at that and laughed.
Looking at that pissed off look, it looks like they must have dug 100 traps when they get to the loan counter.
"Think about it."
[…] … I look forward to your wise decision.]
Seong Ji-han's answer didn't contain a single ounce of sincerity.
Beep!
The screen that came to mind suddenly turned off.
And not long after.
['Constellation Research Institute' is closed.]
[The player has escaped the Constellation Laboratory.]
[Win 5 games.]
The special map, 'Constellation Research Institute', completely exploded and was shut down.
The game is over.
* * *
After 5 games.
=Humanity!! Win a difficult game!
=World Tree Elf 200… … We turned the game around 3-2 against this race that was in first place in the Bronze League!
=In the last game, Seong Ji-han did not escape at all... … .
=It looks like the Constellation Research Institute has been destroyed and an escape decision has been made!
The commentators declared the victory of humanity in bright voices.
-Wow, the class of humanity that loses to the 20th ranked player in the league and wins to the 1st ranked player haha.
-Look at the points being divided equally... … Are you the guardian of balance?
-Honestly, this is a piece of shit haha.
-ㄹㅇ If it weren't for Seong Ji-han, I would have just been toyed with and then executed.
-If it's a sacred site, doesn't that mean you can now be a Constellation candidate instead of a Constellation candidate?
-I heard you're a bitch ㄹㅇ
Although there were only a few games played in this series.
As expected, it was Seong Ji-han who decided whether the game would be won or lost.
When viewers around the world were happily talking about Seong Ji-han's strength.
"… … ."
The elf priest's face turned pale when he returned to the director's waiting room.
She bit her lip.
He looked at Director Davis across the table and spoke urgently.
"No. 1 in the ranking of mankind… … "Where are you?"
"Why him?"
"Please call him here. "I have an urgent deal to offer."
'Is it because of the mask?'
Coach Davis, who had been watching the game a little while ago, had a general idea of what she wanted.
I entered the waiting room for humanity's players.
"Sung Ji-han, what do you plan to do?"
"Let me just listen."
"All right."
As the director was replaced, Seong Ji-han ended up in the director's waiting room.
He asked the high priest in a relaxed voice.
"What kind of deal do we have between us?"
"… … An item obtained from the Constellation Research Institute. Please return it to us."
"I gained so much, but… … "What are you asking for back?"
Seong Ji-han shrugs his shoulders.
The elf high priest gritted his teeth and spoke slowly.
"… … If you return the reagents from the biological laboratory, World Tree Elves 200 will be unconditionally defeated by humanity until the end of this league."
"Hoo."
I went there to take regenerative medicine, but I decided to put everything in it, so I brought a glass bottle with me.
Seong Ji-han had nearly 100 of them in his inventory.
If you give me this, I will definitely lose.
'Were these worth it?'
When Seong Ji-han thinks he needs to find out more about the contents of the glass bottle.
"And if you return the Shadow Queen… … "The three world tree elves currently placed in the Bronze League will be defeated by humanity unconditionally."
[…] … me?]
The High Priest treats the Shadow Queen as an 'object'.
He proposed a deal that would give humanity victory in three places.
"Hmm… … ."
If the three races emerge victorious, there is zero chance of humanity being demoted.
Seong Ji-han smiles as if he is interested in those words and looks at his left arm.
[Now, wait a minute. no way… … Isn't it?]
Inside, the Shadow Queen asked in a trembling voice.
