Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 267
Advertisement
Although I had been absorbed in reaching level 1200, I didn't have any intention of acting for the survival of the majority even if I achieved it. Even if I got there, my fence would not be that big. Because my fence was small, I had no intention of breaking other people's fences. Rather, if I could help them little by little from within my own fence, I wanted to reach out to them and help them maintain their own fences.
Anyway, my father accepted my opinion, and I understood he had contacted the Mirae Guild in advance to explain my intentions.
At this moment Chairman Junghwan Kim of the Daesung & Gusan Alliance, which had been camping out here ahead of us, stepped forward to speak.
"Well, we have already gotten here first. Of course, it doesn't mean that we are going to occupy this hunting ground completely. All we want is to guarantee our vested interests here."
Chairman Kim was pretty much on the defensive, because he knew that the Myongjin and Mirae Alliance had prevented Japan's Mitsuya Guild from advancing to this place. There were many people who had witnessed us fighting off the strongest guild of Japan, and the news had spread all over the world that the outstanding expedition that had opened the new hunting grounds was none other than the Myungjin & Mirae Alliance.
Chairman Kim was well aware of all that. It was why he had kept a low profile before the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance arrived here.
When Chairman Kim said that, my dad also stepped forward and responded quickly, "Well, we don't want to quarrel with you over this hunting ground, since we have known each other for a long time. So, how about sharing it with us evenly. In other words, each of us taking fifty percent control of this area?"
"Sounds good!" Chairman Kim replied, a little bit startled, as if he didn't expect my father's concession without any hesitation. That was enough to dissolve any possible friction between the two leaders, because the level 1500 hunting ground was not attractive at all to both sides right now.

But they both knew that this hunting ground would turn into a very valuable one later, so they judged it was enough for them to take 50% stake of this hunting ground until then.

In front of the level 1400 hunting ground in Mongolia...
Originally, I didn't want to come to this place, but when I heard that Mitsuya Guild's Chairman Ryu Sechi was coming here, I used the Teleport Zone to move directly to the place where the Tugal Guild, as well as the Myungjin and Mirae guilds, were located. My presence among them would be intimidating enough to their opponent.
As a matter of fact, Chairman Ryu, who had shown up with Mitsuya Guild members, immediately directed his attention at me. "..."
I faced him directly, not avoiding his gaze. There was a brief silence between us.
But it was Chairman Ryu who first turned his gaze to other places. He asked my father, "How about sharing it with me evenly? Don't you think that's enough?"
In fact, this was the Maginot line that my father and the top leaders of the Mirae and Tugal guilds had set in terms of Chairman Kim's stake in the hunting ground.
Of course, the Mitsuya Guild had already taken control of the level 1300 hunting ground. Likewise, it could be said that the Myongjin, Mirae, and Tusan Alliance had secured the level 1500 hunting ground, even if they shared it with the Daesung & Kusan Alliance.
Of course, the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance could fight with the Mitsuya Guild over control of the level 1400 hunting ground, but it was the dominant opinion among the top leaders of the alliance that fighting Mitsuya would bring more losses than gains, for fighting the Mitsuya would mean fighting the whole Japanese servers, which would drag on indefinitely, not ending in a couple of days.
Obviously, now was the time for the alliance to grow more!

"Great. Let me accept your offer," my father answered Chairman Kim. Their resulting agreement wrapped up any disputes over the new hunting ground.

After that, I went straight to the level 1500 hunting ground.
Three days later the Smith party who had declared war on me, did not appear in person, but a Message came, not just to me, but to everyone else.
[All new hunting grounds in all areas have been disclosed.
-An event is held in commemoration of the new hunting grounds.
: You obtain 1 point by killing 1 monster in the level 1300 hunting ground.
: You obtain 2 points by killing 1 monster in the level 1400 hunting ground.
: You obtain 3 points for killing 1 monster in the level 1500 hunting ground.
* If you attack the monsters as a group in party hunting, the one who deals the final blow will earn the points.
-The total duration of the event is 10 days. Rewards will be given from 1st to 10th in the order of the players' scores during the event.]
"Wow!" I had no choice but to smile at the message, for it was designed for me, no matter how much I thought about it.
***
That evening we had dinner together at the table as usual.
Of course, there was only one topic among us.
That Message rang out not only in Korea, but all over the world, which meant that the event would take place around the entire world at the same time.
"Juyoung, since you have hunted in the level 1500 hunting ground, you can keep hunting there. You can probably get the highest score there, too."
"Sure." I briefly replied to my sister.
Then my brother asked, "What about the Daesung and Kusan Alliance?"
"First of all, the new hunting ground was so vast that I hunted deep inside it to hide my Blink with zero cooldown, so I didn't bump into them often. My hunch is that lots of them were killed. When I checked the numbers of their troops, I noticed they had decreased a lot from what I had seen this morning."
Although I expected such results, it was quite unreasonable for the Daesung & Kusan Alliance to hunt in the 1500 level hunting ground instead of the level 1400 hunting ground so soon, and without any experience.
As soon as I answered, I asked my brother, "What about the Smith party?"
Currently, the main focus of Myeongjin was Smith and his party, who had declared hostilities with me because I was an immediate family member, so my presence was worthwhile.
My brother and Director Sok were directly monitoring the Smith party's movements.
"Maybe because of this event, they might not show up for a while. Juyoung, just keep hunting as you used to normally."
I was confident, but not only my father but also my mom, brother, sister, and Director Sok seemed pretty concerned about me. Moreover, my opponent was not Smith alone. Altogether that was a total of five people. Of course, I thought that it would be nice if the five guys came at least ten days after the event was over. It wasn't because I was scared about them, but because hunting in my original hunting ground would give me far more benefits during this event!
Of course, it was a fait accompli that I would win first place!
But things didn't go as I expected...
