Chapter 189 (2/2)

Cha Jun Sung’s words faded away in disbelief.

It is so simple that can be seen as being insincere, but the content is not simple at all. It is an unconventional act that clumsily knocks over the existing framework.

[From this time today, we will be releasing entry restrictions for missions by class. Only stores are restricted. Level E and level B Lifers can enter missions with the release of this restriction. The only limit is to level B because there are no Lifers who have opened level A.]

He is not 100% sure, but it seems that the lowest and top Lifers have come to share missions. If Cha Jun Sung opens up level A, level E Lifers can enter level A as well.

There is no change to the fact that they must advance in order to use stores by level, but it will become easier to gather points if they get on buses. Only time will tell whether this will prove to be something good or bad.

***

Release on restrictions.

The opening of top level missions that they could not enter because they were blocked by level. Life Mission tried to get past the incident in Africa as an error in the game.

It is only a guess, but this can only be seen as them bulldozing the wall to try and cover the situation. The release on restriction has both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is that they can earn a tremendous amount of points.

Think about a level E Lifer who can barely catch a level 1 mutant on his own, joining a level C battlesuit force.

Reward points alone are an average of 1 million. It means that there is no reason for Lifers to go into lower level missions. They cannot use stores because those are blocked, but they can make tons of money even though the market price of points has gone down to less than $10.

It has been a long time since level C Lifers have become standardized, so their levels are basically the same. Level B advancement is a dream, but they are thinking of taking this chance to accept bus riders to make a lot of money.

The disadvantage is that the number of those dying increased proportionately. Levels D and E Lifers were unable to adjust to level C atmosphere. In lower levels, they can make mistakes and make up for them. In level C however, mistakes take lives. They are unable to adapt, so the risk grows in proportion to the merits gained.

It happened and Life Mission seems to have no thoughts of fixing it.

They are telling Lifers to go into low and high level missions as they please. It is the beginning now, so adventurous Lifers followed this.

“A lot of people are dying, but they’ll break into level B missions too at this rate.”

“Yeah.”

Cha Jun Sung reacted positively to Park Jin Hyuk’s words.

In level B raids, 1000 people enter. If they put in as many level B Lifers as they can and fill the rest with level C Lifers, they can enhance their power.

Existing level B mission raids fell behind in quality and quantity, but the restriction release makes it possible to properly mix the two.

Level C Lifers are not becoming level B Lifers just because they complete level B missions. They have not completed level C advancements. They are just helping others, but they gain as much as they sacrifice.

“That’s that. When are you thinking of trying an advancement mission? Immediately?”

“Why?”

“World Federation is asking us to help. Not advancement, but just normal level B. It’s hard for us to refuse because we got a lot of help from them while you were gone.”

Park Jin Hyuk’s group acted with the World Federation to get to level B from C during Cha Jun Sung’s period of absence. Strategist considered their convenience as much as he could, and they saw a lot of gains from working with World Federation.

World Federation and Strategist do not yet know that Cha Jun Sung has returned.

There is no reason for them to know when they never told them. This is the same for other rankers. They did not say nothing because they were annoyed or because they did not want to. They just haven’t had reason to speak to them. Is there really any reason to go to them and tell them, ‘I’m alive’?

“Same thoughts?”

Koharu, Kyoko, Violet, and Basil are in agreement with Park Jin Hyuk. It looks like they cannot refuse. Then what do they need to do?

“Do I have to go, too?”

“We’ll go on our own.”

“You’ll be okay?”

“Of course. I think it’ll take about 1 or 2 months, so get some rest in the meantime.”

He met Park Jin Hyuk for the first time when he was 19, but he is also now in his early 20s. He still looks young, but it is true that he has matured.

“Alright?”

“We can tell them you’re alive, right? I’m sure they’ll bother you once they know, but it’s weird to keep going like this too when it’s not a secret or anything.”

“Go ahead.”

It makes sense. They will keep bumping into each other later, so it is better to just tell them.

‘Should I complete advancement while they’re in their mission? That’d be good.’

He can do it alone, or do it with his party. 1 or 2 months isn’t a short amount of time. He can’t just hang around everyday, so he should just complete it in this time.

Under the assumption that he has plenty of time, he can read the final step if he opens up the level S store and meet all of the specifications he possibly can.

Perfection.

It is the name put only to Lifers of the 36 rankers in the virtual version who reached the end. There is not much time left before he can take that name.
