Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 139
Advertisement
Of course, I intend to hunt using Blank with zero cooldown because I have to make the most of the 30 days during which the 50% increase in EXP applied.
And those five guys standing behind Director Sok would block the entrance to the Saber Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat so I could focus on hunting.
Of course, they cannot hunt while I'm hunting, but I decided to compensate them for that.
Anyway, I shook hands with Director Sok, then headed for the Saber Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat.
However, I stopped before long because I received an unexpected text from someone. It was from Bora Yon.
[Kali: What are you doing?]
[Lumen: I'm hunting.]
[Kali: You're hunting hard as always.]
[Lumen: I have to hunt hard for 30 days. By the way, I heard you were offered up as a sacrifice for Team No.1. I feel so sorry for you, but cheer up.] That was all I could do to comfort her for now.
[Kali: Oh. You heard about me, too.]
[Lumen: Yeah.]
She was silent for a while, so I was about to go into the Saber Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat thinking she was done talking to me. But then a message rang.
[Kali sent information about the titles 'The Useless Man' and 'The Useful Man']
[Title: The Useless Man.
-Valid for 300 days only. (299 days 17 hours 43 minutes remaining)
-It is a title that can only be obtained by the man selected as a sacrifice in the 4th Anniversary Event.
-It is a title that gives the opportunity to change from The Useless Man into The Useful Man.
-The following effects apply when holding the title.
-Effects.
: EXP acquisition rate will double.
: All stat points increase by 2000.
: Reduces the cooldown of all skills by 20%.
: Increases the power of all skills by 20%.]
"...'
Obviously the title "Useless Man' gave me a negative feeling from the name alone. However, the performance of this title was so spectacular that it stunned me.
Aside from increasing all stats by 2000, it also granted a 20% skill cooldown reduction and even doubled EXP gains.
Of course, there were limitations to the title, namely that it was valid for only 300 days.

In other words, oin the long run, this title was not better than the permanent title, Winner of the 4th Anniversary Event.
If I had to choose between the titles "The Useless Man" and the "4th Anniversary Event Winner", I would definitely choose the latter.
'Man, am I wrong?'
At that moment, the effect of doubling EXP gains caught my eye. I thought that if I had this title, I could maximize my EXP for 300 days,= almost ten months, instead of just 30 days.
But I soon shook my head because thinking about the distant future, what lasts forever is much better than what's temporary.
Besides, this 'Revival Legend' wasn't just a game that would end in a day or two.
Anyway, despite the shortcoming that it was valid only for 300 days, the title of "Useless Man" boasted a tremendous power.
But there was more in the message, namely, the title 'Useful Man.'
[Title: The Useful Man.
-If the useless man proves that he is a useful man, just as a caterpillar breaks through a cocoon and becomes a butterfly, the title "Useless Man" will be changed to "Useful Man" on the last day of the 300 day period.
-Effect.
: Increases health by 100,000.
: Increases mana by 100,000.
: All stat points increase by 200.
: Reduces cooldown of all skills by 8%.
: Increases the power of all skills by 8%.
: 0.5% chance of obtaining coins when defeating monsters]
Objectively speaking, the title "Useful Man" was worse than the title of "Useless Man" while it applied.
In particular, it was fatal that all stat points were reduced to 200 from 2000.
Besides, skill cooldown and power were also decreased to 8% from 20%.
Taking all these factors into account, this 'Useless Man' title was definitely better than even the title 'Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever' that I was most proud of.' Why? It's because even though the title 'Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever' increased health and mana by 300,000 each and all stat points by 500, it was not comparable to an 8% skill cooldown reduction and an increase in skill power by 8%.
At that moment, I wished I had been offered up as a sacrifice instead of Bora.

Of course, Korea would not have won the first place in that case.
More precisely, Korea would have been defeated in Round 68 when the one offered up as a sacrifice counterattacked.
If I had been sacrificed against my will, the value of my resentment and revenge would be at least 90, and as one who became 90 times as strong as before, I would have gotten rid of the other 59 members simply by pointing my finger at them.
'Hmm. Since I received a reward for achieving first place, I don't have to feel regret.'
First of all, as the one who won first place, I had 22,000 coins, 1 billion golden rings and a total of 900 stats points including the 400 that I obtained after winning the event, not to mention I even gained the title '4th Anniversary Event Winner,' which was useless for now.
So, I didn't have to feel greedy or have regrets.
So, I sent Bora a genuine text message.
[Lumen: Congratulations! What a relief!]
The moment I messaged her, I felt something was annoying, namely, the title can change only when one proves that one is a useful person.
In other words, the title would not be automatically changed to the title of 'Useful Man' after 300 days.
And then another message rang as if the system noticed I would question it.
[However, in order to change to the title of 'The Useful Man,' you need to meet the following requirements.
-The deficit from losing 10-100 levels as the sacrifice must be made up by at least 3 times within this 300 day period where the title "The Useless Man" applies.
For example, if you dropped 50 levels, you need to level up at least 150 times within these 300 dyas.
-If you forcibly decrease your level for ease of leveling up, the title of the 'Useless Man' disappears and the opportunity to change to the title 'Useful Man' disappears.]
That was a requirement of changing 'The Useless Man' to 'The Useful Man.'
As soon as I saw it, I thought it might be more difficult or easier than I thought.
Honestly, I thought it would be more difficult than I thought.
Regardless of why they were offered up as a sacrifice in the event, they must be still the strongest in their country, to be included as part of the 60 men squad.
In other words, there was a high possibility that those who were sacrificed exceeded level 1000 level or were close to it.
And if the sacrificed person fell 100 levels in the worst scenario, it would be difficult for them to raise a total of 300 levels within 300 days, even if they had the buffs of double EXP.
Anyway, when I thought this was a requirement largely determined by sheer luck, Bora once again messaged me.
[Kali: I dropped exactly 10 levels.]
A drop of 10 levels. This meant that Bora had pretty much already acquired the title of "Useful Man", for it would be a piece of cake for her to raise 30 levels within 300 days no matter how high her level was. Furthermore, she had a powerful backing in the form of the Mirae Group.
[Lumen: Congratulations!]
[Kali: Thank you. By the way, if we had known that Korea would take the first place, you should've been there.]
[Lumen: Well, I heard about it from my brother and sister too, but it was very regrettable.]
[Kali: You simply feel regret? That's all?]
[Lumen: Of course, I do feel much more regret than I express.]
I responded skillfully to her insightful question, but it seemed that my answer wasn't good enough to make her believe my sincerity.
Of course, she can't expect that I have two IDs, namely Asirante and Lumen.
Anyway, I whispered to her through text messages a little longer before wrapping up the conversation because she and I were both busy.
She, who was given the title "Useless Man', would be much busier from now on with the double EXP and need to increase 30 levels within 300 days.
