The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 137: End of The Hunt (2)

[A Safety Barrier has been applied.]

[You will be protected from one physical attack.]

[Duration: 00:29:59]

Safety Barrier.

An absolute shield that defends against any physical attack, but only once.

Normally, shields have a certain strength, but not this skill.

Its a cheat skill that guarantees defense against any physical attack.

Meaning, even a full-powered strike from Ryu Min could be blocked

It was a valuable skill that could save a life from an unexpected attack.

It seems like a skill that can block any physical attack once. To reuse it on the same target, you have to wait 30 minutes.

Its a powerful skill, so that makes sense.

Having a cooldown for each individual isnt strange for an absolute defense.

Later, it even defends against magical attacks.

When the skill reaches level 60, it will protect against both physical and magical attacks.

I havent seen more of Min Juris capabilities, so I cant say beyond that.

Bless and Swift have also been enhanced. Would you like to try them?

Lets do that.

With Min Juris buff, all stats, attack speed, and movement speed increased by 70%.

This was due to the enhancement of the two skills.

Its significantly improved. But dont be satisfied with just reaching level 40. Hunt more.

Yes!

The hunt continued.

Voices of joy were heard from several players who, like Min Juri, had reached level 40.

After about three hours, the hunt was finally over.

The hunt leader, Kaltz, looked around at the players with a satisfied smile.

Gentlemen, with this, the hunt in the swamp has ended. The lizardmen have been dealt with to the extent that their numbers will dry up for a while. For the time being, merchants of the neighboring Brahm Kingdom can safely travel their trade routes. Its all thanks to you! Hiring warriors from the other world wasnt in vain!

Kaltz, who didnt skimp on his praise, suddenly fixed his gaze on one person.

A man who hadnt caught a single one since his overwhelming performance at the beginning.

It was Kaltz who sent an admiring look towards Black Scythe.

Great work, everyone. The hunt is now concluded. Everyone is dismissed!

No sooner had Kaltz finished speaking than a message popped up.

[The lizardman hunt has concluded.]

[As a reward for the hunt, 100,000 gold is awarded.]

[Your contribution has been recorded by the mercenary band.]

[Your mercenary band rank has risen from Apprentice to Experienced.]

Oh, 100,000 gold?

Wow, jackpot!

This round, its more generous than I thought!

Players cheered for the unexpected reward.

On the other hand, Ryu Min was unimpressed by the gold.

Not that it wasnt impressive, but because he already had 1.5 million gold in his possession.

Earning 1 million gold from climbing the tower makes 100,000 seem insignificant.

During his climb, he had gathered gold from monsters and received it as a reward for clearing floors.

Thus, he had amassed 1 million gold just from the tower.

Naturally, 100,000 gold was nothing to be excited about.

Now that most players have reached level 40, gold trading will be activated.

Trading functionality would allow for gold transactions.

Once returned, players would start using gold features instead of cash.

And there would be more traders willing to offer services in exchange for gold.

Such as erasing traces by disposing of corpses, finding someone with tracking, or repairing equipment durability with the Repair skill for gold.

The same goes for the player market.

People would prefer trading items for gold rather than cash.

Anticipating this, Ryu Min had already asked Ma Kyung-rok to prepare a direct gold trading feature.

Thus, with the round ending, gold trading was expected to be activated, but Ryu Min already had more than enough gold.

Apart from buying legendary material items on PlayerPlace, theres hardly any use for gold.

Then, where should all this gold be spent?

On NPCs, of course.

Gold is a currency that is also valid in the fantasy world.

With the trading feature now available, its possible to trade gold with NPCs.

Although it seems like theres not much use for gold now, there will be various needs for it later.

Gold might be needed for tithe to increase reputation with temples, or to purchase materials and items from blacksmiths.

It can also be used as a bribe for important figures, and many other uses.

Hence, even if it seems useless now, more gold is better for later.

[The hunt is concluded.]

[You will be moved to the starting point shortly.]

Soon after blinking, the space changed from the swamp to a colorless space.

It was the starting location.

As the hunt ended at the same time for everyone, players appeared from everywhere.

Like at the beginning, thousands of people gathered, and an angel appeared.

[Did you have a good hunt? How was it? As expected, wasnt level 1 the easiest in terms of difficulty?]

Players nodded.

Having experienced it, the difficulty indeed followed the order.

However, doesnt it seem like theres a lot less people?

Hmm, now that you mention it, it does seem so

[Unfortunately, all 571 who chose level 5 did not survive.]

Wow

The chosen monster for the level 5 hunt was the Minotaur.

If one appeared for each person, it definitely would have been difficult to handle.

[Although some humans have died in other hunts as well, dont be sad. Its actually a good thing, isnt it? It means there are fewer competitors.]

Truthfully, no player was saddened.

In an era where even blood relatives could turn against each other, who would mourn the death of strangers?

[Okay then, lets see the results of the tally immediately!]
