Episode 52
– End of the 10th stage of the test.
– Calculate test results.
“Sisi.”
Wow!
As the man turned around, the multi-meter tall object slowly turned into light.
It was the 10th stage of the test, the final stage of Summon Gate.
Lycanthrope.
A monster with ferocious dark brown and yellow mane and claws about 20 cm long that could cut down even steel.
This grotesque monster boasted formidable strength and speed enough to blow off the head of any adult man with a single blow, with solid muscles and tough leather without any fat.
It was said that he was reluctant to subdue even the fairly skilled mercenaries of the adventurer’s guild without loss of life.
But a man with enough strength to dismiss such a < Lycanthrope > single-handedly, saying that it was trivial?
Even though it was only an illusion controlled by Summon Gate, the immediate result could be said to be difficult to judge easily.
“Congratulations, big brother!!”
“Congratulations, big brother!!”
“Congratulations, big brother!!”
cooong!
As the man touched his wrist, the floor rang once.
It was a rare sight.
Before he knew it, dozens of men were prostrated and shouting in front of him, and the man turned his head and looked at the entrance to the test site at Summon Gate, regardless of the shouts that seemed to leave him.
If someone who knew his identity had seen it, they would have known that this was a normal sight.
The president of the organization Changsha Kirinkai (壯士麒麟會) and one of the Five Dragons of the East.
< Zhangwei > was just that.
“Te test is over. The result is…”
“You want to talk to me.”
As the tester approached, one of the prostrated men cut off.
He was a skinny man with a haggard face as if he had been ill.
From the outside, he looked like he would collapse if hit, but he was the man who dealt with all the monsters from the 1st to 10th stages of the test.
‘This man too… is by no means sewage.’
gulp!
And Wellson, the tester, stood upright with his hands behind his back and began to explain the results to the man with his narrowed eyes bent like a bow.
He was a man who made even the veteran himself nervous.
“You passed the test the fastest among the participants in the test. Of course, since you participated as a team, it may be factored into the score, but… Looking at the leader’s leadership and command team’s teamwork, there doesn’t seem to be a big change.”
“okay.”
“Are you going to register right away?”
“yes. I will send a team member.”
Wellson asked, and the man gestured to one of the prostrate men.
He was like a real team member.
Unlike Zhang Wei, who barely spoke except for minimal expressions, he had been in charge of everything on the team since he came to Summon Gate.
“Let’s go.”
“Ah yes.”
Then, following the man’s instructions, Wellson remembered the name the narrow-eyed man had given him as he moved along with his subordinates following him.
‘Did he say Liu Lei…?’
Their leader, Jiang Wei, was also Jiang Wei, but now that they know that Liu Lei, who assists him, is also a person with extraordinary skills.
It was because he was one of the talents to be remembered as Wellson.
“Issuing an adventurer’s license won’t take too long. Written consent to become a member of the adventurer’s guild and a few formalities are all it takes. If you are registering as a team, there is one more separate procedure.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Who is the decision maker on the team, who is going to receive the mission rewards and how… and stuff like that.”
Wellson headed out of Thurman Gate, explaining the procedure to a man who seemed to be his subordinate.
The battles their team < Girinhoe > had been through were flashing through my mind.
The Kirin Society showed absolute top-down and teamwork that was hard to imagine for an adventurer who first descended on the Arcia continent, and subdued the monsters at Summon Gate faster than anyone else.
Such a fighting style of the Kirin Society did not play a pincer attack, but acted as if the purpose was to accumulate Zhang Wei’s actual combat data, and showed the appearance of hunting the rest of the monsters except for the monsters of the great battle.
Among them, Liu Lei’s appearance was unique.
It’s hard to guess what that class is, wearing only a pair of black gloves and swinging his bare hands at the speed of light to cut the lifelines of monsters
… Did you do it?’
Just as Wellson said, the sight of an ordinary human piercing the fabric with a watering can and hunting monsters with his bare hands was a strange tactic that even Wellson, who had seen countless adventurers, could not understand.
“How are you feeling?”
“Not bad. It’s just as the friend said.”
Zhang Wei turned his head as Wellson disappeared from sight.
I could feel moderate heat covering my whole body.
After he received the capsule as a gift from his close friend, Zhang Wei tried the < Galaxy-M24 Apple > without even burning a cigarette.
Moreover, the fact that it supports not only games but also multiple network communication functions including business functions was enough to make Zhang Wei feel fresh.
I was curious about the newspaper.
In addition, if < Galaxy-M24 Apple > provides an artificial intelligence assistant system for users and promptly and perfectly handles what they are curious about and want, there was no reason for them not to use this newspaper.
But…
“…unpleasant.”
Crunchy!
Zhang Wei felt the grip of his clenched fists, and felt a sense of displeasure that made him fundamentally question whether this was truly virtual reality.
Until he logged into this virtual reality game called AC with a few of his gang members to assist him, he didn’t like it, wondering if it was just a child’s play.
The feeling when Zhang Wei pierced the monster’s skin and shattered its bones and flesh was the same as the feeling of reality he knew, to the point where he couldn’t feel any sense of difference if only the limits were lifted.
It seemed too real to be virtual.
“older brother. This is news.”
“News?”
“yes. This is the news of the annihilation of Weilongbang.”
Zhang Wei asked, and Liu Lei lowered his head and said.
It was an uncomplicated report.
There was not a single word of sarcasm or sentimentality in it, so it was a tone that other people would pass by as if it were mediocre.
“annihilation? If it’s Wiryongbang, aren’t they the kids under the Blue Dragon Society?”
“That’s right.”
However, Jiangwei easily noticed from Liu Lei’s answer that followed, that his words were not something to be overlooked, but rather important news.
Due to Ryu Lei’s personality, there was no way he would deliver useless news, and if it was news that would reach him, his right-hand man and second-in-command of the Kirin Society.
Because it was news that would interest you at least once.
“Did the Hyeonmuhoe decide to attack the Blue Dragon? The five dragons are not likely to be capable of hitting the four dragons.”
“It’s a presumptuous statement… but it’s not an outside story. Because it happened in virtual reality.”
“virtual reality?”
“yes. Exactly what happened in this game.”
“under.”
At Liu Lei’s words, Zhang Wei sighed.
It was a gut-wrenching story.
Even if the impression he felt while experiencing virtual reality was a fresh shock that broke the existing stereotypes, it was not at all expected to hear the news of the Oriental Dragon in the game.
“Funny. Are you trying to joke with me right now?”
“sorry.”
“The Orient Five Dragons, which lead the great nation… What? game? annihilation? I think the meaning of annihilation I know is a bit different.”
When Zhang Wei sharpened his eyes, Liu Wei raised his head.
It was still a dull face.
Liu Lei, who is still called the Red Scarlet Viper (橙红杀母师) even after the Triads disappeared because even Zhang Wei couldn’t see the slightest emotional agitation.
And Liu Lei lowered his torn narrow eyes to the floor at Zhang Wei’s words, while removing his lips in a soft voice that was not polite.
“Hanglong Yuhui (亢龍有悔).”
“Hangryongyukai?”
“yes. We are currently in the situation of the Dragon and Blue Dragons.”
It was a word with a special meaning to be just a casually thrown lion idiom.
“Recently, the Blue Dragon Society has been active by creating forces within virtual reality. It is an open fact that the dragon has been interested in virtual reality for a long time. It is probably for this reason that Wang Yao-wei entrusted the ark of Wilongbang, closed all external activities, and poured 70% of the funds. But…”
“But?”
“It happened not long after the Blue Dragon Society succeeded in expanding its presence in virtual reality through Wiryongbang and began to see results by investing huge amounts of money. That, too, will result in annihilation.”
Liu Lei took possession.
It was a rare sight.
His eyes look as if he is glaring at a prey driven into a prey, so you can understand why he is called the red-headed snake.
“However, what if the result of the annihilation was from an individual rather than a force comparable to the Five Dragons of the East?”
“…what? One individual?”
“yes. As a dragon, this must be unbearable.”
profit!
Zhang Wei asked for a cigarette, and Liu Lei lit it. These were things that were hard to imagine for a user who hadn’t set foot on AC for a long time.
The light flickered once from the crudely dried cigar, and the acrid and stout smoke rose over Zhang Wei’s face.
“It is like a dragon that rises and falls endlessly. That was to say the prestige of the dragon.”
“yes. Needless to say, the prestige of the four dragons actually fell to the ground.”
Liu Lei lowered his head, and Zhang Wei looked up at the other side of Summon Gate.
It was the part where you could finally understand why Liu Lei had said that to himself.
The Triads are disorganized enough to remind of a warlord due to a bloody apocalypse that occurred decades ago.
Afterwards, under the banners of the five powers, including the Jangsa Kirin Association, an organization that began to gather quickly as if it had never happened.
The organization, which was reborn under the name of the Five Dragons of the East, quickly recovered from the damage of the Triads and grew into a huge organization that far surpassed the previous generation.
Considering the speed of the restoration, it was surprising.
By the way…
‘The Blue Dragon’s breakwater was wiped out? To an individual who has never even heard of it?’
As Liu Lei told him, what if the blue dragon’s breakwater was smashed to one individual without even holding out a business card?
Regardless of whether it is reality or virtual reality, it can be said that the prestige of the Great Eastern Dragon has fallen.
It was even more so if it was Cheong Bing, the head of the Blue Dragon Association and the Four Dragons.
He’s a nerd who is passionate about gambling and card games like poker, and he’s a psychopath who kills dozens of people for entertainment.
It was because the annihilation of Wiryongbang must have been a blow to Cheongbing.
“Kuk-kuk. It’s fun. To think that two of the Five Dragons of the East suffer the same fate. isn’t it? Liu Lei?”
“…yes.”
“What my best friend did for me or what the caller went through… Prestige is not a word.”
Quadduk!
A sound echoed from Zhang Wei’s grip.
It was a stone that had been crushed into powder.
Ming Chen of Jeungsan New Industry and Wang Yaowi of Yu Longbang.
At first glance, it seemed that the two had nothing to do with each other, but Jiang Wei felt that the unpleasant feelings he felt from the news of Jeungsan New Business were somehow overlapping.
Yes, it was like parallel worlds and whatnot.
The annihilation of the two groups couldn’t have been the work of the same person, but it seems as if it was a decalcomania that happened as if it had been foreseen….
“Who is that guy? Huh? Ryu Ray.”
flash!
And Zhang Wei’s eyes emitted a piercing blue light like a blade.
