Chapter 367

Chapter 367

Siegfried did not want a new title...

Seggs Stamina King, Pesky Brat, King of Backstabbing, etc.

Most of his titles were quite negative-sounding, and this caused quite a lot of Adventurers to give him the stink-eye. Every single one of them gave excellent stats and bonuses to him, but that was not the important thing.

“Don’t! I don’t want it, your fucking moderators! Stop making life difficult for me!” Siegfried screamed out of despair, but it was to no avail.

Titles in BNW were given when an Adventurer repeatedly performed a task, and it was impossible to refuse a title as it was given regardless of the Adventurer’s intention or will.

This was the reason that Siegfried was forced to accept the new title regardless of whether he wanted it or not.

[Alert: You have obtained the title King God[1] Bald Phoenix!]

He had picked up so many dropped items that his Bald Phoenix title evolved into King God Bald Phoenix. The effects of his new title were quite interesting.

[King God Bald Phoenix]

[A title given to those who had picked up more loot than anyone else on the continent.]

[Type: Title]

[Rating: Mythic]

[Effects: Adventurers who die within a one-kilometer radius of the title holder are guaranteed to drop an item upon death, plus an additional item. Adventurers killed by the title holder are guaranteed to drop two valuable items plus an additional valuable item. Dying at the title holder's hands has an additional 300% chance of dropping an extremely valuable item.]

[Special Effect: This title's effects cannot be seen by the Rune of Insight (wink~!)]

“Huh?” Siegfried was surprised after reading the effects of his title.

The effects of King God Bald Phoenix were truly amazing.

An Adventurer had a ninety-five percent chance to drop an item upon death. Ninety-five percent was already a high chance, but it was still not a guaranteed drop.

But what if Siegfried was within a one-kilometer radius of them? There was a hundred percent chance they were going to drop not one but two items. In other words, Siegfried was now going to obtain two items instead of one, thanks to the title.

Quite absurdly enough, that was not the end of it, as any Adventurer killed by Siegfried would drop three items instead of one, and two of them were guaranteed to be valuable items.

This meant that anyone going up against Siegfried had to be prepared to lose not one but two valuable items and an increased chance of dropping an extremely valuable item in their possession.

To make things even more absurd, they were going to be completely blindsided by it, as the title's effects are hidden by the Rune of Insight.

“Is the game telling me to blatantly go after Adventurers from now on?” Siegfried wondered in disbelief after reading the effects of the title, and he was probably right as the title’s effects were basically encouraging him to hunt Adventurers to steal their items.

“I think my Hyung-Seok will love this...”

The first person Siegfried thought of after reading the title effects was none other than Chae Hyung-Seok.

His revenge master plan was quite a tedious one, as killing him once every forty-nine hours was only going to make him drop one item, and there was even a chance he would not drop anything or drop some piece of trash in his Inventory. If calculated, Siegfried would have to chase down Chae Hyung-Seok for an entire year if he wanted to strip him of his new equipment, just like what Chae Hyung-Seok did to him last time.

However, things were now different, all thanks to the King God Bald Phoenix title. Siegfried could actively hunt Chae Hyung-Seok and make him drop two valuable items and one extremely valuable item every single time.

“Oh? This is really good!” Siegfried exclaimed as he was quite satisfied with the title.

The title itself sounded a bit strange and stupid, but he had no complaints, as the effects were better than any other title out there.

Siegfried proceeded to comfort himself. “Y-Yeah... So what if the name is strange? All that matters is how good the stats and effects are...”

He glanced at his Vanquisher’s Grasp, which now had the cute and lovely pet name Horse Fly.

“See! What’s the point of having a nice design? It’s all about the function! Power! Destruction!”

He suddenly heard Quandt’s voice playing in his ear for some odd reason.

“Kyu! You’re just trying to convince yourself!”

“S-Shut up!”

“Owner punk is spineless! Kyuuu!”

“You little rat! Who taught you to be so rude?!”

Tae-Sung still found the fact rather surreal, even though he had already signed the contract and had placed the downpayment for the thirty billion won building.

He had too much money on his hands.

The random drop items weren't the only thing he had obtained in the war against the Genesis Guild yesterday. He had also obtained an absurd amount of gold after conquering the headquarters of the Genesis Guild and pillaging their Guild Contribution Fund.

He had too much gold in his hands that he had no idea what to do with it, and the gold was so much that converting them to cash could end up affecting the gold prices on the exchange websites.

The fact that he could affect the exchange rate as a single person was quite absurd, so he decided not to exchange it for now as he felt bad for those making a modest livelihood from the game.

In other words, he was now at the stage where he could affect the exchange rate of gold, and this was the result of him being the Debuff Master as well as being the king of his own country.

Cheon Woo-Jin’s advice for him to become king was a godsend that changed the course of his life both in the game and in reality.

“I should treat Woo-Jin to a meal,” Tae-Sung muttered as he stepped on the Lamborghini’s accelerator.

Vroooom! Pop! Pop!

The Lamborghini’s engine roared while letting out popping sounds from its exhaust.

***

A day after the battle, Chae Hyung-Seok was resurrected in a territory far away from the Proatine Kingdom.

“Let’s just quit...” he muttered in a defeated weak voice.

What about his revenge? He realized that it was impossible and quitting the game was the most realistic thing to do right now.

How was he going to get revenge when the Genesis Guild was as good as gone?

He decided that selling his items to settle his debt and living a new life was the best way going forward.

Ma Dong-Po was charging him a murderous interest rate, and the interest that had been piling up until now was starting to become quite a burden. He was now in a situation where he could not afford to dilly-dally, and settling his debt with Ma Dong-Po as soon as possible was imperative.

He listed his items on the trading website and waited until a buyer showed up. He waited in an alley with his head down and covered with a hood, making him look like a sewer rat.

A few hours later.

“It’s near.”

Chae Hyung-Seok saw that his buyer was not that far from his current location, so he decided to head over to the buyer, who was willing to buy all of his expensive items at once.

He arrived at the forest, which was the meeting place they agreed upon.

“Shall we confirm each other’s codes first?” Chae Hyung-Seok asked.

“Sure,” the buyer replied.

The buyer looked like an average Adventurer flushed with cash.

‘This bastard must be rich in real life,’ Chae Hyung-Seok thought as he exchanged codes with the person.

“IIIX06D1123”

“Yeah, that’s correct.”

“It’s your turn to show your code.”

“Is it? My code is...” the buyer said with a smile.

However, what he said next was not the code.

“...Will be revealed in thirty seconds after this break!”

“What the...?”

Chae Hyung-Seok grimaced in anger after hearing the buyer’s nonsense.
