The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 99 (Part 2)
Chapter 99: The 7th Round Results (Part 2)
——–
With a mischievous grin, Priscilla flapped her wings.
A results window appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
★ Round 7 Results ★
[Entire Area]
– 1st. Black Scythe (Level 54 Reaper) 00:00:01
– 2nd. Krisi (Level 27 Priest) 00:00:05
– 3rd. Heavenly Demon (Level 29 Dark Knight) 00:00:06
[Specific Area C2-ESKA003]
– 1st. Black Scythe (Level 54 Reaper) 00:00:01
– 2nd. An Sang-cheol (Level 34 Knight) 00:00:18
– 3rd. Seo Arin (Level 34 Summoner) 00:00:24
Upon seeing the results window, everyone voiced their dissatisfaction.
“Black Scythe is in first place?”
“Again?”
“Even when it’s not about strength?”
“Does he have an incredibly strong willpower?”
“Look at that, he resisted temptation in just one second.”
“He’s not an ordinary human.”
[Hehehe.]
While some players grumbled and shook their heads in disbelief,
[Heeheehee.]
Priscilla, staring at the results window, seemed elated.
[I can’t believe it? I actually won this? And it’s thanks to Black Scythe!]
Was it the joy of claiming the throne?
Priscilla had momentarily forgotten about distributing rewards.
“Angel? The 1st place reward hasn’t been received yet.”
“Oh! That’s right. I apologize, Black Scythe.”
The angel, in an uncommon display of humility, apologized to a human, and reward messages appeared.
[Congratulations! You’ve achieved the quest in 1st place within this specific area!]
[Congratulations! You’ve achieved the quest in 1st place across the entire area!]
[At present, ‘Black Scythe’ holds the 1st position both in the entire area and this specific area.]
[As the 1st place within this specific area, you’ll receive a ‘Random Selection Voucher’!]
[As the 1st place in the overall area ranking, you’ll receive a ‘Special Reward Selection Box’!]
As these messages streamed in, the rewards didn’t end there.
[As a sub-quest reward, you’ll receive the ‘Rune of Mental Barrier’!]
[The acquired rune will automatically be imprinted onto the player’s body!]
‘Now I’ve finally obtained it.’
With the desired rune in hand, the information window appeared.
“Rune of Mental Barrier”
– Effect: Immunity to all mental attacks.
‘Now I can stand up to Yamti with this.’
The reason for the system’s delay in granting the rune until the end became clear.
If he had received it earlier, the player might not have been able to participate in the mission, the temptation test.
Ryu Min meticulously examined the rewards that had just come in.
Until now, 1st place rewards for specific areas had been equipment items, but this time, it was a lottery selection voucher.
[You have the option to choose from the following rewards in the next random draw.]
[Please select your desired reward.]
└ 1. Random Gold Pouch
└ 2. Intermediate Magic Stone Draw Ticket
└ 3. Surprise Potion Box
‘It seems like there’s not much choice here.’
My magic stones are already at the highest level, and I have an abundance of gold. There’s only one thing worth picking.
‘Number 3. I’ll go with the Surprise Potion Box.’
It’s scheduled to appear in Round 8, but there are consumable items known as potions. These potions can heal wounds or provide various buff effects when consumed, much like in a video game. They come in various types.
‘The fact that there are gacha boxes with such a variety of potions speaks volumes.’
There are three ways to obtain these potions: by becoming an Alchemist, a unique class; by defeating boss-level monsters that appear after Round 8; and finally,
‘NPCs. Or should I call them beings from another realm?’
You can either purchase these potions from beings from another realm or acquire them as rewards. The rounds in which these otherworldly beings start appearing begin with Round 8.
‘Players will probably be taken aback. They’ve been encountering monsters who can’t speak, and suddenly they’ll meet otherworldly beings they can converse with.’
Ryu Min still remembered his initial confusion upon discovering the existence of these otherworldly beings. What added to the perplexity was the difficulty in discerning whether they were humans or NPCs.
‘It’s still an enigma to this day.’
In any case, starting from Round 8, with the appearance of these otherworldly beings, he could utilize his titles. He also needed to acquire the two runes he had set his sights on.
‘The Rune of Future Sight and the Rune of Durability.’
Moreover, Round 8 provided an excellent opportunity for leveling up. It is likely that some players would reach level 40.
‘I’ll probably aim for level 60, though.’
Ryu Min’s gaze shifted to the last remaining special reward selection box.
[You have the option to choose from the following special rewards.]
[Please select your desired reward.]
└ 1. Triple Experience Buff (Limited to Round 8)
└ 2. 20,000 Gold
└ 3. Information on Round 8
Without hesitation, he chose option number 1.
The next round was ideal for gaining experience.
[Now, everyone, have you all checked your rewards? Then, let’s have our moment of dissolution. Humans who didn’t make it into the top ranks and those who couldn’t resist temptation within the time limit, farewell.]
“Wait, hold on!”
“No!”
Pshh-
Without even a chance to make excuses, half of the players turned into dust and disappeared.
[And as I mentioned earlier, we decided to select the player who cleared the mission the fastest as the zone representative, as you all know. As expected, the Unified Zone representative is this person.]
[Player ‘Black Scythe’ has become the new zone representative of C2-ESKA003.]
People nodded in agreement with the message announcing the representative.
It was a fair result with no room for objection.
[As promised, we will now provide the rewards to Black Scythe, the Unified Zone representative.]
After a moment, a message Ryu Min had been eagerly waiting for appeared in his eyes.
[The authority of the temporary skill ‘Dominion’ will change.]
[From now on, you can use the ‘Dominion’ skill once in the real world.]
[The authority will immediately be nullified if the zone representative is dethroned.]
