Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 125: Root (2)

[Ice-type cooldown reduction skill (Passive, required skill point: 1, required golden rings: 2,000,000.)

: Reduces the cooldown of all acquired ice-type skills by 3%.

: For every 3 ice-type skills, the cooldown of all ice-type skills decreases by 1%.

-When you acquire this skill, you will have a total of 15 ice-type skills.

-The cooldown of all ice-type skills will be reduced by 8% due to the addition of 5% to the original 3%

If I acquire the ice-type cooldown reduction skill, I will have a total of 16 skills.

Excluding Blink, the rest of them are all ice-type skills.

Honestly, I never thought of learning the ice-type cooldown reduction skill previously because I had fewer cooldowns than anyone else with my ‘Iceman’ trait.

However, no matter how much cooldown reduction I had, my cooldowns still increased as I leveled up my skills, causing a delay in using my skills.

Especially after I used level 7 Ice Storm with the effect of the functional skill ring, I felt clearly that I could not use it as often even though it was really powerful.

So, at that time, I decided to learn this skill by all means when I reached level 400.

So, after I learned the ice-type cooldown reduction skill, I left the central square.

My next destination? Of course, it was the auction house.

Although I could barely afford the items there in the past, this time I could afford to acquire top-notch items that fitted my new level without hesitation.

So, I was thinking of buying proper weapons this time. With the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword in mind, I want to buy a sword and a staff that increases my Intellect properly.

it only took me less than three minutes to upgrade and learn a new skill. But I spent nearly 30 minutes at the auction house before purchasing the level 400 legendary grade Shunan robe set, a one-handed sword, and a staff. I spent a total of about 100 million golden rings.

It was my first time spending such a large amount of golden rings, but I didn’t feel it burdensome at all.

In fact, I still had 6.4 billion golden rings in the inventory, so it wasn’t much of a problem even if I received some losses when I had to sell them later.

The next day I didn’t access the game.

I informed the Daeyu teams about this in advance. I told them that due to personal reasons, I wouldn’t access the game today, and even if I did, it would only be sporadically, so they didn’t have to dispatch the monster herding teams for me.

In fact, I had a plan to go to the Gangwon Province with all my family members today.

And is it a family trip there?

Well, it could be called a trip in some respects, but more precisely we were supposed to check out the construction site of the future Myongjin building in Gangwon Province.

Actually, I have come to know about this only recently.

There were some reports in the news media that the Myongjin Construction Company was building a fairly large leisure complex in the Gangwon Province.

Anyway, it has been 3 years since they first began to construct the building. Although it was not completed yet, it was almost done, so we decided to go there on a family trip.

So, I hurried early in the morning and moved to my main house in Cheongdam-dong.

Of course, I didn’t forget to bring the 3rd generation VR device because if I had free time, I had to hunt even if I was not supported by Daeyu’s monster herding teams.

Kosung, Gangwon Province.

“Is it true that you used the media to advertise that the Myongjin Group was building a leisure complex in this place?”

In fact, this was just a vast empty place surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was nothing to see or eat, let alone any attractions.

As a matter of fact, there was a demilitarized zone(DMZ) not far from this place, although I could not see it clearly.

In other words, even if a leisure complex is built here, it is almost impossible to make any money or profits.

That’s why I was really embarrassed to know that the media reports about the construction of a leisure complex in this remote place paid off very well.

But my sister next to me completely quenched my curiosity.

“Hey, brother, you can do anything with money in this country.”

I didn’t refute what she said because it was true.

When we stepped into the construction site, a building that wasn’t as large and spacious as I expected came into view.

However, when I went into the building, I realized that what I saw outside was only the tip of the iceberg.

An Iceberg had only a small part floating above the surface of the water with the rest of it invisible underneath. That’s why they coined the expression, ‘the tip of the iceberg,’ and that was the exact description of this building.

“I really don’t know how Dad thought of building something like this. Moreover, they began to build it three years ago, which is about the same time they confirmed the information about Revival Legend,” I said.

Of course, it costs more to build a building underground than on the ground, and the construction cost surges as they dig further into the ground.

“Maybe next year or two years later, the Myongjin Construction Company might go bankrupt. Well, they will go bankrupt because they have used up all the money,” my sister replied, smiling at me.

“…”

I was speechless for a moment at her nonchalant reply.

The new building under construction was almost like a castle rather than a nest that had all the essential things. We looked around the building for a bit, then left.

“By the way, they still seem to have a lot of work to do. I saw so many dump trucks driving to the construction site endlessly.”

When I asked about it, Director Sok opened his mouth with a smile.

“The building doesn’t belong to Myongjin.”

“Pardon?”

I couldn’t help but ask because I couldn’t understand what Director Sok was talking about.

“This does not belong to Myongjin, but to future Myongjin. We’re now hastening the construction with our future base in Gangwon.”

“…”

Obviously, it is not Myongjin alone that is preparing for their future.

Anyway, after examining the building, we did not return to our house in Cheongdam-dong in Seoul. Instead, we unpacked our luggage at a villa in a local city in Gangwon Province.

Then we talked for about two hours over dinner, then retired to our rooms.

Of course, I was anxious to access ‘Revival Legend’ so I could gain even one more EXP, but I was too tired today because I moved around all day long. So I went to sleep early.

While Juyoung Hong fell asleep in bed, something came out of the soles of his feet.

Then it began to move slowly and leisurely.

It was definitely bigger than when it first appeared.

It was moving from place to place, then it, which resembled something like a root, suddenly raised its tip like a meerkat raising its head, and quickly began to move in one direction.

Puck!

It easily broke through the thick wall.

A creature that had not previously existed on earth appeared not far from her villa where Juyoung Hong was staying. It was similar to the one that appeared in Annapurna, the Himalayas.

Of course, the creature looked around, turning its head in all directions because of the unfamiliar environment that it faced for the first time.

It was currently dark. So, the creature was about to move to that brightly leaking light when it heard something.

Shheeeeeeeeeeeng.

It was the sound of something moving at a high speed.

Before the new creature could even react, it heard another sound.

Puck!

And that was the final sound the creature called an Orc heard.

When the Orc fell, a message rang.
