Chapter 63 End of the Beta Tes (1/2)
In Black Raven Valley Base, the Throne of Gods guild had gathered together for a meeting in-game.
Things had not gone according to plan. As the other beta testers were all preoccupied with leveling up, their call for information had gone unanswered. Just as Jupiter was fuming over what to do, someone shouted, ”Leader! The quest hint changed!”
Jupiter gave a start. Upon checking the quest tab, he discovered that the quest location had actually been updated. It now stated that Zero was inside the Western Capital.
”The mission was updated‽”
Jupiter scratched his head. However, while he was confused, he was not upset. It was the 12th and last day of the beta test, and they had barely made any progress thus far.
”We'll send members to search the Western Capital after the official launch.”
Once the game launched, the guild would be able to make full use of its advantage in numbers. With so many members, there was no way that they would not be able to find him.
Jupiter clenched his fists.
”This B-class quest is ours for the taking!”
This was their chance to take a step ahead of their rivals.
…
In Germinal's headquarters, a report was being read out to the boss.
”Commander Rosa was last heard from in the Western Capital. Another man also disappeared along with him: Lu Gao En, our head contact in Storm Eye. Li Ruo has said that he will find a replacement for him immediately…”
”It's Zero,” said the boss abruptly. ”He silenced Rosa and Lu Gao En in order to keep his exact location a secret. Humph, so you are in the Western Capital. Stardragon's Division 13 must be keeping him under their protection!”
Rosa was the ace assassin of the Germinal Organization, while even Lu Gao En had given the boss a favorable impression. It was a huge loss.
That blasted Zero!
The boss was furious.
'Zero… did you think that you would be safe as long as you found protection?'
While he had at first belittled Han Xiao, over time, he had come to recognize the threat that he posed.
According to the analysis of the security footage from the Valkyrie Laboratory, Zero had never displayed any unusual behavior. Where he had gotten hold on their intel from remained a complete mystery.
”Order Storm Eye to pinpoint Zero's location. I don't care if he's hiding within Division 13's HQ, find him no matter what it takes!”
The boss' voice was filled with murderous intent.
As there was no way to know exactly what other vital information Zero possessed, getting rid of him before he caused further damage was the only option.
”Get five commanders and two hundred Night Owls ready to take action as soon as he is found. I will permit the use of guided missiles.
”Zero, you're dead meat!”
…
'The beta test is ending.'

Frenzied Sword sighed as he watched the countdown timer. If only he could have just a bit more time to train.
Of course, he was overall still quite happy with the progress that he had made. Han Xiao's quests might have been very unseemly, but they sure did give a ton of experience. Furthermore, all the equipment that he had purchased from him helped to boost his combat power significantly.
Although the skill set of the Mechanic class revolved largely around crafting, which he disliked, seeing Han Xiao's strength had given Frenzied Sword all the affirmation that he needed.
'I, too, will gradually become that strong!
'There will be a spot among the pros for me!'
