Ian, who sat for a while and watched the crowded meal, noticed a flashing message icon floating in his field of view.
Someone sent him a message while he was away.
[HRS: Jinsung, did you get that 50-rep shot of the Summoner?]
A friendly message from Hers.
Ian doesn't know why he went through the Summoner's Board at the moment (?) I felt that my injustice was washing away in a single shot.
‘As expected, it's only Yoohyun who recognizes me! ’
However, the flashing message sign still hasn't disappeared.
Anything else? ’
And when I double-checked the message, there was also a message from Harin directly below.
HG: Ian, what are you doing? When did you level 50?! Ian is awesome!!]
Harin's message was much more reliable than Hers' doubtful message!
In fact, Harin was convinced that a 50-level summoner was Ian because he had already thought it was more than a trap when he Quested with her at the Goblin Camp.
Anyway, Ian was moved.
At that moment, I could feel my tears welling up.
‘Ah... Harin was a good man... ’
Once again, with this message, Harin's image was positively changed from a scary image of a woman who liked PK to cooking.
I'll help you with your next vacation! ’
Time became a little less of a waste.
Ian immediately replied to Harin.
[Ian: I've been stunned since I took 50 levels yesterday. Just connected!]
But Harin didn't get an answer right away, and Ian, who wanted to boast about his accomplishments to Harin, became a little blurry.
‘Is Yoohyun connected...? ’
Ian sends a message to Hers.
[Ian: That's me. I slept with 50 laps yesterday. Wake up now.]
And if Hers is online, the answer comes right away.
[HRS: Wow... a monster….]
The conversation continued.
[Ian: Did you send me a message to ask that?]
HG: Well, there's that, there's something else to talk about.]
Ian: Talk? What?]
[HRS: We recently occupied a Node in the Northern Territory in our guild.]
As soon as Ian heard about the Node, he looked radiant.
It was because he knew how important the Node Site was to the guild.
[Ian: Oh, really? Where?]
[Herss: If you look a day and a half northeast of Mount Crimea, there's a place called Rokor Snow, which is there.]
[Ian: How big is the Node? Did you take it somewhere good?]
HG: Yeah, it's pretty big. It's got a good location.]
Ian felt better.
I scraped a 500-won lottery ticket without expecting anything, but I feel like I won 50,000 won.
Ian didn't actually expect the Lotus Guild to be able to take over a good Node on this expedition.
First, I knew how intense the guilds involved in the northern expedition were.
Secondly, it was because Lotus' guild was a strong guild inside the top 5%, but it was more powerful than the giant guilds inside the top 10.
[Ian: Good. I heard you're going to the Northern Expedition, but I didn't think you'd make it to a decent Node. Well done, man.]
[HRS] Lucky.]
And Ian was able to figure out the main reason why Hers sent the message.
[Ian: Oh, so you called to help clean up around the Node?]
[HRS: I knew it, I knew it. Right. But not right now, and these monsters are pretty high-level. It's over 70 levels minimum. Some monsters are close to level 100 if we go a little farther.]
[Ian: Then I can help if I get close to the 70th level.]
HG: Yeah. I think so.]
[Ian: Okay, you don't have anything else to say?]
Ian wakes up to finish his message and go hunting, but a strange message arrives again soon.
HG: Oh, I almost forgot.]
[Ian: Yeah? What?]
[HRS: Can you wait a week without rapping?]
[Ian: …? Why?]
Don't level up for a week, that's not possible for Ian!
However, Ian was embarrassed by what Hers said.
[HERS: You have a week before the Imperial Arena opens. Why don't you maintain level 50 and then go out as Rookie?]
Ian's pupils were slightly dilated.
‘Oh, why didn't I think of that? I was thinking about Hers, not initializing it... ’
In fact, Hers had just been reminded of the story that Kloban had gained 50,000 fame for joining the Luki League, not for any other reason.
As soon as I heard about him, I thought of Ian.
The Arena of the Kaimon and Ruspel Empires alternates on the 1st of each month.
And since the Kaimon Empire Arena was opened last month, it was the turn of the month to hold the Arena of the Ruspel Empire.
When the Arena was opened, all users were able to apply for entry, and thirty-two strong men who passed the qualifications were able to block the superiority of their fighting power with the battle.
After all the way to the finals, many users who thought they were strong challenged the Arena every month because of their huge reputation and powerful items in proportion to the ranks.
And the Imperial Arena has always opened two leagues at the same time.
One was an integrated league that all users could join, and the other was a rookie league that only users under level 50 could join.
Herce has instructed Ian to maintain level 50 for a week and then join the Lukis League.
[Ian: Oh, right! Arena!! Ugh, why did I forget the Imperial Arena?]
Ian became depressed. Ian was almost tortured to hold the level-up for a week.
Ian blames himself.
If you're going to do this, why did you take a level 50 photo in your sleep two hours a day? ’
To be sorry for the past self whose thoughts were short beyond contempt.
[HRS: Why, because 50 before August 1st was almost impossible. I never thought you'd get to level 50 so soon.]
Hers' words were perfectly natural.
When Jinsung became a summoner, it was the date of Kailan's update, June 20.
And the opening date of the Imperial Arena is August 1st.
How could he have thought that in just a matter of a month and 10 days, he would be able to exceed level 50?
In fact, Ian was not unaware of the Empire Arena when he initialized it.
‘I just thought I'd level up as much as I could before the Arena opened... ’
I didn't think I'd make it to level 50 in a week.
[Ian: Ugh... It's a bit of a waste of a week, but I took 50 levels at the right time, so it'd be stupid not to go, right?]
[HRS] You know, don't ask. You go out there and you get eight lectures, you get 10 grand worth of fame, you get a career hero necklace. You know how many quests you need to get up to 1 Reputation? I don't have a choice in a week.]
Ian knew too well.
It's just unfair.
[Ian: Phew, I get it. It's a bit of a waste of a week, but let's take a level-up break and do something else.]
[HRS] Yes, I beg your pardon.]
After speaking with Hers, Ian feels his strength draining.
Ian sighed, gazing at the many who were on his knees after eating all the meatballs.
“Plenty.”
Wh...?
“What are we doing for a week now? ”
Plenty.
However, there were many people who could not give Ian an answer.
“First I have to go do the prophet quest I was supposed to do. ”
Ian takes a slow walk after clearing his seat.
Somehow, it was a helpless step.
* * *
Ian immediately moved to Muran.
I had to go to the Imperial Palace to carry out the Prophet's quest, but I wanted to see the Summoner's Tower first.
‘Khh, I can't help but see my accomplishments. ’
When Ian arrives in Muran, he heads to Plynor Square first.
When I arrived in the square, I was able to find the Summoner's Tower with ease.
“Hehe, I'm more than happy to see you like this. ”
The Summoner's Tower stands alone a little distance from the towers of the old profession.
By the time other new professions reached level 50, there would be two more towers next to them, but now they look cooler because they are showing off on their own.
The statue of the dragon standing at the entrance of the tower, guarding both sides, was Ian's taste.
‘Huh... I like it. I have a lot of time, but I need to check it out while I'm here. ’
Ian was always being chased for level-up, but forcibly resting his hunt (?) Now, Ian was more relaxed than ever since the initialization.
Lulu -
The situation even makes me nostalgic.
At the entrance to the Summoner's Tower, a lot of summoners who came to receive job related quests were visiting quite well.
‘Obviously, if you're going to do a lot of quests, it's good to get top quests for your job. ’
Ian was currently filling two quest windows with quests from Oakley in the dungeon, and the Prophets' quests, so he had no intention of getting them from the Summoners Tower.
However, after completing both quests, he also intended to receive quests at the top of his job.
‘The Summoner's Tower has a similar structure. ’
Ian mutters to himself, thinking about the tower of archers that had been in and out many times before the initialization.
So there's an artifact exchange on the fifth floor, right? ’
Even if I didn't receive a quest, there were a lot of things I could do at the top of my job.
And what Ian was looking for was an artifact exchange, which exchanges the Contribution Points for items or skill books for the Summoner's Tower.
Ian created the tower for the first time, so he received quite a lot of contribution points.
‘The Contribution Points I received are 5,000... I think I can change everything that's messed up... ’
Considering that there were less than 10,000 Contribution Points accumulated in the Archer's Tower before initialization, 5,000 Contribution Points were enormous.
‘It might be a good idea to save some money and use it when you get a little higher... A skill book must be exchanged as soon as something good comes out. ’
In the case of items, it was a bad choice to exchange now for only 50 levels, as higher levels of artifacts could be purchased.
But the skill book was different.
This was because skill books could only be exchanged quickly for a better skill level.
"Found it. Exactly the same location. ’
Ian found the Contribution Point Exchange and moved on with his heart.
At this moment, Ian's expression was similar to that of a child who entered a toy store with a ten thousand dollar bill that he had never held in his life.
Ian approaches the exchange, and the NPC standing guard smiles brightly.
“This is the Contribution Point Exchange. What can I help you with?"
