The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 112

Episode 112

Tak.

Something small and square was placed on Raoul’s palm.

“What about this?”

“It’s a gift, Raoul. And I sent you an email with more details.”

That was Bae Do-hyeon’s resident registration card. An ID card that can be issued to all citizens of the Republic of Korea.

Of course, it was a meaningless object within Connect. And a replica that you can’t actually use.

But for some reason, my heart was touched.

“Thank you Ravel. “How did you come up with the idea to create something like this?”

“just. “I thought that even if it’s a past that we can’t go back to, there should be at least one object to remember it.”

There was a strange sense of longing in Ravel’s words.

‘Ah…’

If you think about it, Ravel also lost his hometown and lived a wandering life. And that too for thousands of years.

Raoul felt his heart sink for a moment, wondering how he would feel.

At least he can learn news from Earth through the player and the Internet. But there was really nothing left for her.

Wouldn’t this resident registration card contain her feelings of longing for her hometown and her people?

‘A relative of the label. I really need to find it again!’

There was ample possibility.

Geumyeok and Gate. And different races will appear as the scenario progresses.

I had a feeling that I would definitely find it somewhere.

And Raoul desperately hoped that one day she would be able to escape this narrow book world and return to her original life.

“Now, don’t worry about what happens next and just get on with it! “Shouldn’t we show them who Raoul, or Bae Do-hyeon, is?”

Ravel suddenly landed on Raoul’s shoulder, stretched his fist into the air, and said.

The refreshing energy flowing from her enveloped Raoul’s body and gave him strength.

“As you commanded.”

Raoul accepted Ravel’s words while posing reverently like a knight following the Lady’s orders.

Ravel laughed at the sight and went into the illustrated book.

‘Now, shall we take a break and cool off?’

Raoul, who played Bae Do-hyeon, confidently walked towards the preliminaries test site.

* * *

An indoor gymnasium crowded with participants.

Perhaps because it was the last preliminary round, the stands were full and there seemed to be no room for people to stand in the aisles and watch.

“Team USA this way!”

“Japan is this way!”

Just like the first day, players from each country were gathering participants from their respective countries.

Approximately 30 minutes until the test begins.

The players seemed to be busy planning a strategy based on the strategy presented so far.

Bae Do-hyeon was leisurely taking in the atmosphere and heading to the center of the gym.

At that time, perhaps because he had a sharp eye or was just luck, someone called him.

“Are you Korean over there?”

She was a cute girl who wasn’t very tall.

“Yes, you are Korean, right?”

“Oh, that’s a relief. “Come this way, everyone gather around.”

She must have been happy, leading Bae Do-hyeon at a brisk pace towards the place where the Korean players were gathered.

‘hmm. The potential is A and the characteristics are also Grade A. ‘This is enough to become a ranker, so why don’t I remember it?’

The rare trait was that of a phantom beast summoner. It’s definitely a job that will make you stand out.

There was a high possibility that he would have given up on the game for some reason in the middle.

‘If you quit for in-game reasons, I hope it won’t happen this time.’

Raoul lightly engraved the name Han Seohyun that appeared in the status window in his mind.

Anyway, there were many people who quit the game for one reason or another. No matter how talented they are, Raoul cannot help them all.

If I was destined to enter the academy and join the guild, I planned to actively help.

“Oh, you are the last one. welcome. “My name is Seongjun Park.”

The young man leading the meeting welcomed Raoul.

“Hello, this is Bae Do-hyeon.”

“…!”

Everyone’s eyes were on Bae Do-hyeon.

A player who has been ranked number one in the world ever since the level rankings were revealed.

A person who is called the last bastion of Korean players in the community.

And a secret player whose identity no one knew.

He has appeared now.

Murmur.

It wasn’t just Korean players who heard his voice; players from other countries around him also looked surprised when they saw Raoul.

“It looks more ordinary than I thought?”

“How does that look normal? Look at the armor you’re wearing. That’s definitely a ‘red maned wolf’ skin. And that too with a full set….”

“Aren’t the red maned wolves the ones from Go Rap Zone who are level 20 or higher? “I heard that it’s still difficult to catch them as a party because they travel in groups.”

“Look at the logo engraved on it. It looks like it was custom-made? Just by looking at it, you can see that it has a different quality from a drop item.”

There was a lot of interest in Bae Do-hyeon himself, but the armor he wore was also a subject of interest.

It’s early in the game anyway.

Even if you wanted to make money, it was impossible because there was no one selling gold.

In other words, the current players’ equipment was obtained purely through playing.

‘Fuck you. After all, we got caught in the same group….’

‘It won’t be easy to see. I hoped he was a high-level Mulan ranker…’

The players’ eyes were full of hostility, wariness, and envy.

But Bae Do-hyeon didn’t pay much attention. This is because the skill gap was too great for that to happen.

They will know it when the test begins.

“Now that Bae Do-hyun is here, I would like the meeting to start again. “For now, I’m presiding over it. Would you mind, Bae Do-hyeon?”

Seongjun Park asked with a calm expression.

One of the few players whose expression did not change significantly even after hearing Bae Do-hyun’s identity.

Perhaps it is because they are confident enough in their own abilities. And it was worth it.

This is because, among the Korean players in Group H, Park Seong-jun was the only high-ranker in the top 100, excluding Bae Do-hyun.

“I have no objection either. But before that, may I tell you a few things first?”

As the players nodded quietly, Bae Do-hyun opened his mouth.

“I plan to play this qualifier alone. So, when you plan your strategy, please leave me out.”

“…!”

There was silence for a moment.

“Does that mean you will be against us?”

When someone asked, Bae Do-hyeon shook his head left and right.

“no. “I won’t touch you until I hunt down all the players from other countries.”

It was a remark that might seem a little selfish or even arrogant.

But no one openly expressed dissatisfaction.

This is because it was a solo exhibition to begin with, and there was no law that required collaboration.

And above all, the words ranked first had weight.

Even if Bae Do-hyun decided to go alone, no one thought it was reckless.

“And as a Korean player, there are two things I would like to ask you. First, try to get as many kills as possible in the early stages. And the second. If things are not going well or you have collected up to four pieces, come to Area 1, which opens in the middle of the game. “You will find out why when the game starts.”

After saying that, Bae Do-hyeon bowed his head and said hello to the players and left the place.

This was the end of the favor that could be shown to them. It was their choice whether to believe Bae Do-hyun’s words or not.

Raoul didn’t care either way. It would be nice if more Korean players passed, but that’s a side note anyway.

Because his purpose in this preliminary round was clear.

Raoul took a seat in a quiet corner, avoiding the crowd of players, and quietly opened the system window.

‘Status window open.’

*Name: Bae Do-hyeon (Raoul)

*Level: 26(84)

*Job: Beginner Telekinesis (Intermediate 8LV Telekinesis Sword Expert Advanced Knight)

*Affiliation: None (First Guild Count Ashton, Lord of Bates, etc.)

*Stats: [Strength 41(75)] [Dexterity 45(79)] [Stamina 42(76)] [Intellect 34(71)] [Spirit 48(80)] [Magic Power 46(

79)] [Spiritual Power 49(82)] [Sense 48 (81)]

*Unique Trait: Telekinesis Meister (S+) (4 hidden traits)

The preceding stats are the current stats in parentheses were Raoul’s stats.

‘It’s roughly adjusted well to fit the level.’

Stats were intentionally adjusted to match the level.

This is because there are certainly a small number of players who have the skill to spy on the status window.

And the reason I was able to arbitrarily adjust my stats like this was because of [Grey’s Polymorph Ring].

[Grey’s Polymorph Ring +5]

Grade: Unique

Effect: Completely transforms the body structure into the appearance specified by the wearer. Due to reinforcement, it is now possible to arbitrarily adjust abilities. (Range: -80% to -5%)

Limitation: Be careful as it may return to its original form when mana is depleted.

Additional effect: You can call the creator, ‘Gray’, only once.

Yes. Raoul purchased the reinforcement spell from the player store and strengthened [Grey’s Polymorph Ring] to level 5.

As a result, the option to unconditionally reduce abilities by 30% when worn disappeared, allowing the wearer to adjust it as desired.

‘If I strengthen it a little more, I think the control range will be converted to a positive number.’

It was too much of a gamble to believe in the possibility and continue strengthening.

Strengthening is 100% successful up to the third round, but the probability drops drastically after that.

Of course, it was not an extreme system in which items would disappear if reinforcement failed. However, the price of the reinforcement order itself was very expensive.

The price of the reinforcement order form varies depending on the grade of the item, but for unique grades, it is an exclusive coin and costs 10,000 coins per sheet.

At the very least, it meant that the coins that could be obtained by solving B-grade quests were consumed.

Raoul failed twice to reach the top 5 and spent 70,000 coins, and investing any more was close to a waste.

‘No matter how much I earned 200,000 coins by receiving the scenario main quest first place reward twice, I need to save it now.’

Once players appeared, there was no guarantee that they could continue to monopolize the quest.

It was right to save the exclusive coins as much as possible for future scenario quests.

‘Anyway, I’m glad that I was able to properly work as Bae Do-hyeon thanks to you.’

The combination of the polymorph ring and the second ID was powerful. Now, even if the stat window is discovered, there will be little chance of suspicion.

And even if you don’t, you won’t unconsciously exert overpower.

He wondered if there was a need to hide his power in such a troublesome way, but for his purpose, it was an inevitable choice.

This is because, as a player, if you want to exert influence on players, you must not reveal that Bae Do-hyeon is an NPC.

‘Of course, we can’t avoid being discovered forever.’

However, I planned to delay that period as much as possible, and I was confident that I would do so.

And he was strong anyway, even if his stats were limited.

It was ridiculous to even call this a penalty against players who had just logged in.

Bae Do-hyun was planning to prove it from now on.

This means that even if you are at a similar level and have similar stats, you can become stronger at different levels.

‘Then shall we start the game?’
