Park Jin Hyuk’s group returned after Cha Jun Sung had started working on a level C mission for more than 2 weeks. As expected, nothing in particular happened.
It was hard enough fighting mutants but they ran away whenever they got the chance to, so he needed to spend weeks chasing them rather than killing.
“A project to make 10 billion? You want to gather not even 1 billion, but 10 billion?”
“I can’t find a reason to open it up unless I have that. You see this? Isn’t it cool?”
Cha Jun Sung took out his Ultimate Hades Blade and put it in front of Park Jin Hyuk. It is painted simply in black without any embellishments.
The 4 small boosters on the hilt are quite impressive.
“Ultimate Hades Blade?”
“Of course Koharu recognizes it.”
“How many points is it?”
“1 billion.”
Park Jin Hyuk holds his chest in surprise. That’s worth 1 billion points?
Kyoko scolded him not to overreact, but he really is surprised. This is the same for the other party members.
1 billion is enough to be armed with the best of level B with points leftover.
But to think that it is so little that it could all be gone with buying just one level A weapon.
“Everything in the level A store is like this. What do you think level S will be like? It’s really hard even to make a battlesuit in level A. I thought of 10 billion as a minimum, too.”
Level A missions where they need to fight against level 8s. They do not need to experience it to know that the difficulty is going to be tremendous. He will not try it until he reaches Perfection level.
He cannot enter at random either. He can guess what kind of mutant will appear. He needed to come up with a plan to prepare for any number of cases.
“And I’ll tell you while we’re all gathered together. I’m not going to help you guys with advancing. I hope you’ll understand my decision.”
Park Jin Hyuk’s group has the ability to complete normal level B missions if they work with the World Federation. It means that they play their assigned roles well. After Cha Jun Sung tried out level B advancement, he realized that letting Park Jin Hyuk’s group ride his bus to advance is not doing good for them but harming them.
The power that Cha Jun Sung gained as he became a mutant is not something that he got through normal measures.
He knocked over the boundaries that he would have had to get past in sequence. Originally, he was going to take responsibility for Park Jin Hyuk’s group until level B advancement. But his thoughts changed after he met the level 8 and 9s in Africa.
They need to get stronger on their own. They need to go on their own rather than having someone lead them from the front. They cannot advance if he keeps helping them. He would not have worried so much if this were a game because they can learn as they die. But they each only have one life because this is reality.
There is no guarantee even for rankers to easily get through the level B boundary. He will leave them alone if their limit is level B. He will not force them higher.
“Everyone is able to see the list of level A missions since the restriction has been lifted, right?”
Tremendous amounts of reward points. The level of difficulty is dizzying just from reading the description.
They cannot even get a sense of the range of the area they will have to explore and the number of mutants they will meet.
A long time ago, the special mission that came up because of Red Eye and Parasite King is nothing, just the tip of the iceberg. They were both injured and in Red Eye’s case, it occurred somewhere other than his homeground so the number of reward points did not reach over 50 million.
However, the level A missions that come up in the PDA are of a different dimension.
They went over 1 billion at a minimum and some even reached over 2 billion. Stepping foot in this kind of hell is just an act that shortens their life spans. They need to stay in place if they do not have sufficient ability.
“We’re okay.”
“Yeah.”
Koharu spoke in place of the party as if it were nothing.
Park Jin Hyuk agrees with her. They understand how Cha Jun Sung is feeling.
“It may take time, but the number of level B Lifers is increasing and we can fill in for the lacking level Cs. The World Federation is thinking of advancing in 1 year. We’re going to try it then.”
“That sounds appropriate.”
“This is something I felt while completing level B, but we can handle it if a few levels 5 and 6 show up. It’s just that level 7 is really… Should I say it’s one-sided? I say I’m careful, but there are always casualties.”
Park Jin Hyuk spoke bitterly. Level 7s are different by tendency, but aggressive ones jump out at Lifers in the middle and create chaos.
Even while reinforced rifles rip their skin and break their bones, they try to kill even one more Lifer. They need to get dozens in additional support even when 9 combination battlesuit rankers all get involved.
Cha Jun Sung kills those kinds of level 7s alone.
Park Jin Hyuk cannot imagine what he could have experienced while staying in a mission like that.
