Chapter 133: Round 9 Begins (1)


    1st. ck Scythe (4,088 votes)


    2nd. Heavenly Demon (1,057 votes)


    3rd. Dumb Fools (529 votes)


    7th. Bird Chest (65 votes)


    Ma Kyung-rok was disappointed with the oue.


    Ah, I was a fool to have hoped.


    Contrary to his expectations, ck Scythe came in first with an overwhelming number of votes.


    He had thought there might be a chance for himself, but it turned out to be a vain hope.


    After all, in terms of recognition, I cannot match ck Scythe.


    Although he had ranked 2nd and 3rd in previous areas, thus considering himself among the named ranks, the gap to the 1st ce was bigger than he had anticipated.


    The current voting results were proof of that.


    The recognition and poprity of ck Scythe among the yers were almost quantifiable.


    Ma Kyung-rok looked enviously at ck Scythe.


    Despite bing the sole representative of South Korea, ck Scythe showed no particr change in expression, as if he had known this would happen.


    Hey, could it be?! No, no hes not a prophet. But why is he so calm?


    Perhaps he was just feigning indifference to hide his flustered feelings.


    Or maybe he really had predicted it.


    Considering ck Scythes reputation, anyone could have predicted the oue.


    But Ryu Min wasnt guessing; he truly knew the future, hence his calm demeanor.


    From the 21st to the 99th rounds, winning the vote 79 times, anyone would react the same way.


    As expected, Im first. The number of votes is a bit different, but.


    The votes had increased from the previous round.


    Perhaps because he had formed connections withrades like Ju Yong-ho, Min Juri, and Seo Arin?


    Without having to read their minds, he could guess that they had voted for him.


    [yer ck Scythe has be the new area representative of C3-ESKA001.]


    While viewing the message with an indifferent look, Ariel shouted.


    [ording to the vote results, ck Scythe has be Koreas area representative! Congrattions, ck Scythe! By the way, the former representativess authority skills have been revoked. Now ck Scythe is the sole ruling yer of Korea!]


    The angel continued.


    [Now that the representative has been decided, shall we check the 9th round quest?]


    A message window appeared in everyones eyes without fail.


    ROUND 9


    Join a mercenary group and exterminate monsters


    [All areas]


    Participants: 1,295,362


    Achievers: 0/647,681


    [Specific area C3-ESKA001]


    Participants: 6,008


    Achievers: 0/3,004


    Exterminate monsters?


    Whats a mercenary group?


    The yers murmured upon seeing the quest.


    However, the people around ck Scythe were calm.


    They already knew because of Ryu Mins prophecy.


    [In a moment, you will be transported to a fantasy world to carry out an extermination mission as mercenaries. Dont panic. As you can see, its a simple quest where you just have to exterminate monsters. You can choose the monsters to exterminate, so dont worry.]


    No yer was flustered by the mention of being dropped into a fantasy world.


    They had already experienced the existence of NPCs while escorting the guilds in the 8th round.


    Most expected this time to be simr.


    [Any questions?]


    Yes! Is it true thatpleting just one extermination means passing the quest?


    [Of course. Its a very simple quest.]


    The more she highlighted its simplicity, the more anxious the yers became.


    It had never been truly simple when said to be so.


    [Any other questions?]


    Is the extermination a party quest?


    [Youll act together, but its not a party. Each person must find and kill monsters on their own to im their share. So you better work hard for the experience points.]


    Main Quest is written here, so are there sub-quests too?


    [Thats a secret.]


    Of course, there are. What kind of question is that


    Everyone scolded the questioner with the same thought.


    If a Main Quest is listed, there are always Sub-Quests.


    Its a rule everyone knows from experience.


    Angel! How are the rankings determined?


    Before the angel could answer, a few shook their heads in disbelief.


    As if that damned angel would tell.


    The yers suspicions were confirmed.


    [Im not quite sure myself? The details will be revealed around the time the results are announced.]


    Almost no one believed the angels words.


    Thats how much the yers distrusted the existence of angels.


    But Ryu Min knew.


    The angel was telling the truth at the moment.


    Angels dont know everything about the quest. They only have limited information for each round.


    Whether its to prevent information leakage to humans or not, angels have limited knowledge about the rounds.


    This was confirmed through information obtained from torturing angels in previous regressions.


    Moreover, the reason Ryu Min was certain is different.


    The final reward obtainable through this rounds Sub-Quest. Just looking at the content, its clear the angels dont know about the quest.


    The final reward hidden in this round was detrimental to the angels.


    If the angels knew about the reward, it would cause an uproar.


    Thats also why Ryu Min didnt prophesize about the Sub-Quest.


    The reward, which only one person can im, must be his alone.


    [Lets stop the questions here and start the quest, shall we?]


    As soon as Ariel finished speaking, a selection window appeared before the yers.


    [Please touch the monster you wish to exterminate.]


    1. Lizardman


    2. Werewolf


    3. Skeleton


    4. Troll


    5. Minotaur


    [If you do not choose, you will be automatically assigned randomly.]


    [Remaining time: 00:00:59]


    Just like the previous selection, they would be transported immediately upon choosing.


    Hmm, which one should I choose?


    This is obviously going to be 1, it looks the easiest


    The difficulty was apparent just from the names of the monsters.


    As everyone expects, 1 is the easiest, and 5 is the hardest.


    Ryu Min knew what the best choice was, but the other yers were at a crossroads.


    When a seemingly obvious question is posed, they wonder if its a trap.


    Considering the difficulty, Lizardman seems the best choice


    Wouldnt everyone flock to Lizardman then?


    Should we go for a stronger monster for better rewards?


    Or is 1 actually the hardest and 5 the easiest?


    Ah, what to choose?


    With just one minute to decide, there wasnt enough time for such deliberations.


    Most had made their selections and disappeared, but about a quarter hesitated, spending their time in indecision.


    A few seemed intent on leaving it to randomness, closing their eyes and waiting for time to pass.


    It might seem like a trap, but its not. The difficulty is as it appears in order. Simply put, just exterminate the monster of your choice ording to your abilities.


    Ryu Min had already informed his acquaintances of this fact through prophecy.


    Thus, Ma Kyung-rok and Ryu Mins acquaintances had no dilemmas.


    They had already thought it through in the real world.
