Chapter 579: Crisis to Opportunity 1

The system of the Warrior’s village was designed to move around the main quest.

Users who entered the village proceeds to the main quests one step after the other, and in that process they would accumulate the public values and the promotion was a big goal of the content.

In that process, to participate in the battlefield of the weekly quest would give them additional public values, but that was just an incidental factor.

Without the public value from the main content, promotion design was going to be very difficult.

“Uh, this is really messed up!”

Na Ji-chan mumbled while holding his head.

It was because he never knew that there would be users who could win the platoon at once and get the rank of ‘new recruit’.

Na Ji-chan was trying to think of what had just happened.

Kim Ji-yeon, who was right next to him, opened her mouth in a low voice,

“Team leader.”

“Huh?”

“It’s just Ian and the other three users who made an exception to the training center, isn’t it?”

At the question from Kim Ji-yeon, Na Ji-chan shook his head and smiled weakly.

If it was such a simple problem, he wouldn’t be worrying about it.

“Miss Ji-yeon, you might not be aware of it, but the worldview of Kailan should never be touched artificially.”

“Why?”

“Because there are so many AIs in the worldview who have close relationships with each other, so we will face a huge variable and error if we do it wrong.”

“Ah…”

“If something wrong is touched, and a fatal problem is caused… we can’t really afford for that to happen.”

The words of Na Ji-chan couldn’t be understood precisely, which was why Kim Ji-yeon shook her head and asked,

“Then, what is needed to be done?”

“Um…”

Na Ji-chan was thinking about it while pressing his temple on both sides.

And soon he opened his mouth very slowly.,

“Without breaking the existing framework, we should create an opportunity for the three people to make up for the unexpected loss.”

“Uh…”

“In that process, the balance with the other users shouldn’t be broken.”

“Sounds difficult.”

“Not sounds difficult, it is very difficult.”

It wasn’t possible to change the existing rules.

The only thing the planning team could do at the moment was to create something new.

They weren’t supposed to reward the three users directly, nor was it supposed to break the balance with the other users.

Na Ji-chan chewed on his lower lip and sighed as he opened his mouth,

“Can’t be helped.”

“Uh? What do you mean by that?”

“You know the content that we planned until yesterday.”

“Yeah.”

“From now, I need to stop all of it.”

“Sorry?”

Kim Ji-yeon was very flustered at what Na Ji-chan had said.

The project they had been working on was very tight.

Na Ji-chan watched the expression of Kim Ji-yeon get sulky.

Even he had been getting the dark circles till his chin, he once again sighed and spoke,

“Until we leave today, let’s think of a new content.”

“…!”

And as Na Ji-chan turned his gaze to the screen, the three rankers and Ian were on the screen.

“A content for those three people.”

Kim Ji-yeon who heard the words of Na Ji-chan, seemed like she was going to burst into tears.

It was all because his words meant that the night shifts and overtime work was confirmed.

* * *

A day had already passed since the dimensional mirror battle.

And Ian was convinced of one fact.

The fact that something was surely wrong.

‘Why is this so twisted? This can’t be a systematic error, but obviously, it is a mistake on the planning stage.’

After realizing that he could access the main quest, Ian looked through the Warrior’s Village.

There was no weekly quest until Wednesday, and he wanted to do another quest that would get him the public values.

But the result was despair.

There were a lot of shops and contents that can be upgraded using the Hero Score, but there were no ways to raise the official value.

Then it meant that he had to be like a baby sucking on his fingers until the next battle would be held.

In addition, the information that he had received from Hoonie who had passed through the Warrior’s path and entered the main content made Ian much more depressed.

… syncopation…

What Hoonie had sent was a list of newly created main event quest window.

And the content was enough to push Ian into depression.

“Hah, if this is like this, I’ll have to catch up soon?”

According to the occurrences of the conditions of the quest, Ian could join the main quest from the tier F quest of, ‘Dimensional Giant Raid’.

Until that time, the condition for the quests was to clear the previous quests, and Ian who hadn’t entered the training couldn’t do that.

Then isn’t he supposed to get the tier F quest as easily as possible?

It wasn’t that easy either.

In order to challenge the ‘Dimensional Giant Raid’, they had to be an ‘elite’, the next level of combat soldiers.

And the public value necessary to become an elite was…

‘Ha, how am I supposed to get a 3,000 worth of public value without any main quests?’

A whooping 3,100 public value if the 100 needed for the combat soldier was included in it.

The promotion which is the fourth one in the Warrior’s Village.

And in that, till the ‘combat soldier,’ the public value was relatively low.

But the next level of the combat soldier, Elite.

And till the last class the ‘Brave’, the public value was increased exponentially.

‘What the hell is this?! How can they suddenly increase it from 300 to 3000?!’

Ian, who confirmed the specific information on the ‘class system’, was in panic.

‘Ah, catching up won’t be the problem, but the gap will widen.’

It wasn’t known when the weekly quests would come, but no matter how many public values he would get, he couldn’t even be an elite.

And in the meantime, the other top list users who entered the main quest were sure to hit the elite.

‘After the elite is the Brave… and if one gets a warrior, they’ll graduate from here.’

Ian’s heart was stressed.

The place where he worked so hard to enter, the Warrior’s Village, had now turned very sensitive where his efforts were turning meaningless.

The very moment, something hit the head of Ian.

‘Well, what is the official value for being a Brave?’

The less the public value he needed for the elite was the better situation for Ian, but the number of public value he would need for being a Brave could be troublesome.

While Ian tried to narrow the gap between the elites, the elites shouldn’t be given the chance to turn to warriors.

As soon as he saw the public value he needed for becoming a ‘Brave’ class, Ian was able to relax to some extent.

The amount of public value needed was tremendous.

[Rank: Brave]

[Required Public Value: 100,000]

‘Huhu, this is so lucky for me!’

Ian’s head started to work fast.

Since the content wasn’t entirely known, it wasn’t definite for sure, but the public value of 100,000 wasn’t an easy thing to gain.

‘It will at least take a month.’

And at the same time, he could have come across something that could reverse the situation again.

‘In the situation, the best thing I could do is to use the content of the village in the best way possible and raise the specs.’

The only opportunity for Ian to raise the public value was for the weekly quest.

Before Wednesday, he had to make the best use of the score and create specs.

The biggest weapon Ian had right away was the huge ‘hero score’ he had from the Spirit Dojo.

‘Yeah, well, it is too early to give up. First, I need to get back to the village shops. And analyze everything and then use the best ones.’

Ian, who had been sitting on a rock for more than half a day, decided to move.

Both Mark Oliver and Lichao had logged out to save their vitality, so Ian was the only one who had remained there.

But the moment he was about to walk, there was one thing that Ian hadn’t grasped.

In the corner of the warrior’s village, a new building called ‘combat training ground’ had begun.

* * *

A large training ground at the northern end of the warrior’s village.

Here, right then, a dozen of users had been moving fiercely to clear the quest.

Starting with the basic technique.

Chang-! Chachang-!

Tat-! Tat-!

It surely could be a boring content, but the eyes of the users were much more serious than ever.

The one who would be the fastest to clear the quest, that person would be the world’s first user to do it.

Also, after the relatively boring phase, and interesting linked quest was about to come.

However, the atmosphere that looked to be serious, a user with a peculiar atmosphere around him could be noticed.

“Kkkuk, Kkrrk.”

A man with a strange smile kept on moving.

No, rather than a man, he looked like a kid.

“Uh uh uh, this Mr. Hoonie can’t show some seriousness.”

It was Hoonie, the one who shared the information with Ian.

Was the most passionate than ever.

“At last, the opportunity to pass over Ian hyung has come for the Monarch of Darkness! Kuek!”

In the current situation, Hoonie seemed to have an opportunity.

‘Because of the mark that the Immortal had given, I was able to pass the Brave Path in an unthinkable manner.’

Just the way Ian had passed through the ‘Brave Path’, Hoonie too was able to freely pass the path, allowing him to join the ranks of the top line.

Although Shakran was right next to Hoonie, the progress of Hoonie from the Korean server in the Warrior’s village was the fastest.

‘Huhu, I’ll show the true power of the Monarchs! And at the battle in the canyon, I’ll become a global star!’

In the golden future, his heart was already pounding.

But, all that was left to see was, if Hoonie’s future was going to develop in the way he was predicting.
