Closed Beta I Played Alone

Episode 51. mauve (1).

“Ice Spear. Multiple Ice Arrows.”

puck! puck! Bubbly!

Because it was used extensively without overlapping, it was neatly organized by blowing a single skill to some swamp monsters who barely survived without dying in the pouring hail and ice blasts.

The battle with a total of 1500 users the day before was as usual as if nothing special.

Of course, I didn't bump into those 1500 all at once, but bumped into each other at intervals.

And I didn't kill all 1500.

Anyway, he threw the battle with the Gahwa Guild, which was a big event in its own way, far behind and focused on hunting.

There is still a long way to go to pass the time in vain in the afterglow of that achievement.

So I just logged in early in the morning and hunted stone squirrels in the rocky area for the first hour or two, but gave up on the way.

The stone squirrel's undigested mineral mass, which is expected to be of greater value than expected, was greedy, but the experience was too salty.

So, even if I regret not collecting a lump of minerals in the future, I changed the hunting ground to a muddy swamp.

Since then, I have been hunting all the time.

And then the message rang.

[The alarm is set at 1:00.]

The alarm sounds at 1 am.

I immediately turned back to that message.

Because tomorrow had to be a very important day in its own way.

It was also the day I went home once a week, but at the same time it was the day I went to put together the last puzzle piece to clear this quest.

Of course, it is a very large puzzle piece to be dismissed as simply a piece.

A safety zone in a muddy swamp.

Whew.

No one was there.

Of course, there were also those who guarded the doorway out of the safety zone to collect tolls.

Words came out of my mouth at that sight.

"Wow. Now that I think about it, this A-grade quest is incredibly difficult.”

A city of pioneers that have already been ruined.

No, to be honest, the pioneer city was not very prosperous to use the expression “destroyed.”

It was a place where there weren't many people visiting even before the Gahwa Guild came in and sat down on their buttocks.

Then, thanks to the Gahwa Guild, the flower never bloomed properly and lost.

Anyway, after dealing with the Gahwa Guild, I noticed that revitalizing the city of these pioneers and making it a city with a prosperous name is several times more difficult than dealing with the Gahwa Guild.

There are categories of things that an individual can do, no matter how crazy they are.

Except for me, who carried a gigantic guild called Myungjin.

"what. This is no harm to Myung-jin.”

Kang Seok-tae, who offered me 100 million won a month in return for not taking any hostile actions and staying still, leaving everything else.

Moreover, it was Kang Seok-tae who actually gave cash to nearly 1500 people.

For one single item: Stone Squirrel's Undigested Mineral Chunk.

That is, there must be something.

There's no way some crazy person would spend a lot of money needlessly doing something like that.

So I'm going to tell my dad that if I save this in advance, maybe it'll be a big profit later.

At the same time, I plan to share a word to revive the entire city of the pioneers here.

Anyway, that's how I logged out.Because tomorrow's promise was more important than hunting for an hour or two.

the next morning.

I didn't log into the game right away.

to organize your thoughts.

No, more precisely, I didn't log into the game to sort out how to get those thoughts out of my mouth.

I can't say that there's a lot of undigested mineral chunks from stone squirrels, and I can't say that they'll be of great value later.

At least, the six-fold principle of ‘who, when, where, what, how, and why’ was essential.

That's what I've been learning so far.

And just as I was about to log in to the game to go hunting for a while before I went home after tidying up, my phone rang.

I thought it was my mother's call to tell me to come early just in case, so I picked up my phone and checked it.

However, there were letters other than the two letters “Mama” marked on it.

[Future Light Purple]

Those five letters were displayed on the screen of the cell phone.

Naturally, the future refers to the Mirae Group, one of Korea's immovable towers, and Yeon-Bora refers to Yeon-Bora, the granddaughter of the Mirae Group's Chairman Yeon Jeong-Hwan.

stopped for a moment.

It's not like we're talking on the phone like this.

Of course, there is a degree of facial expression.

No, it's more than a face.

The fact that they are from the same chaebol family in a small piece of land called Korea is because they have made frequent meetings since they were young.

Under various names for parties, banquets, meetings, gatherings and more.

"Hello."

got it first

Because there's no reason to avoid it.

"Hi. I am purple Do you still remember my phone number?”

"uh. It was saved.”

"okay. I'm glad."

It's been a long time since then. Starting with , there were stories about how well they were doing.

Of course, I know that's not the point.

I don't even need to call to talk about this.

But I didn't ask.

Just answer appropriately.

The main point or regrettable is that it is the duty of the calling party.

“Are you all right this evening? I decided to see Chul-min as well as Jin-ah unnie and Young-jin oppa.”

Kim Cheol-min is Daesung, Jeong Jin-ah is Kusan, and Seo Young-jin is Daeyu.

There's the future mauve.

In other words, including me, it was a gathering place for all of Korea's five chaebol families in their early to mid-20s.

I honestly have no intention of going.

I don't even want to go

However.

"Huh. I'll go. What time and where?”

“I’ll text you that.”

"okay."

The words that came out of the mouth were different from what was inside.

Because the meeting of the giant chaebol.

Of course, it is a meeting between the 3rd and 4th generation of chaebols, who are evaluated to have met their parents well, not the presidents or presidents.

But nevertheless, it should not be missed.

That's what I've been learning so far.

Maybe there will be a person who will rise to the chairmanship of the group from that spot, and because he is often energetic, unexpected information has leaked out.

Of course, I was taught that it was a direct and indirect loss just because I wasn't involved, but I know that the chaebol is actually a chaebol who knows himself well, but is extremely wary of making friends with other chaebols except himself.

I just don't make that tea.

Anyway, I ended the call with Yeon-Bora like that.

And for a moment, I looked down at my cell phone and thought about the future intentions of the purple or, more precisely, the future.

It's because Yeon Bora didn't really contact me to see her face to face.

Especially Daeyou, even more so, because it is a future that is being deliberately ostracized by our Myeongjin, Daesung, and Gusan.

1:00 pm.

I left the house a little early.

Because there is a need to speak in advance to my father, my brother, my mother, or my sister about the meeting that Yeon-Bora suggested in the future.

"Oh! Son, why did you come so early? When I was always urged to come early, he didn’t come.”

“What kind of joke?”

Except for the case of attending the first meeting of the executives like last time, I always went in time for the evening, so her mother greeted me warmly, who came early.

And she threw her questions to her mother like that.

“Dad?”

“Now in the basement study.”

Fortunately, this weekend, it seemed that he was at home instead of coming in time for the evening.

So I asked her mother for permission and went straight to the basement study.

Knock. Knock.

I knocked on the door outside the basement study and opened my mouth.

"dad. This is Jooyoung.”

“Come in.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard my father's voice from inside.

He immediately opened the door and went in.

Inside, Dad was sitting alone at a large desk, checking documents.

Then, Dad checked me inside, put the papers in his hand, and opened his mouth.

"okay. What's going on?”

“You probably know that. My age is Yeon Bora, the granddaughter of Mirae Group Chairman Yeon Jung-hwan.”

"okay. know."

“I got a call from Yeon Bora 4 hours ago. Let's see your face. Of course, not just the two of us, but also Kim Chul-min, Jeong Jin-ah, and Seo Yu-jin.”

Just tell me this and Dad will know.

That I didn't just contact you just to see you face to face.

Because the 3rd and 4th generation of chaebols from the five major groups, Mirae, Myeongjin, Daesung, Gusan, and Daeyoo, are gathering.

And then he looked at his father's face and spit it out.

“So I said I knew.”

“Fufu. okay. Well done. Anyway, the future seems urgent.”

"Yes. Probably.”

After that, I had a brief conversation with my father about this and that.Of course, there were other uses as well.

Moreover, it was originally the main purpose.

However, for Myeong-jin, this meeting was definitely bigger.

Than my A-grade quests.

So, first of all, I refrained from talking.

It's enough to talk about A-grade quests after you go and talk about what's going on there.

Gangnam Lechante Hotel.

The time that Yeon-Bora told me was 20:00.

However, at 19:40, slightly less than 20:00, I arrived at the Le Chante Hotel with the help of my father's driver, who resides in his home in Cheongdam-dong.

Of course, take off your clothes.

Then we went inside the Le Chante Hotel.

Of course, a sky lounge or a banquet hall?

No, I didn't go there.

My footsteps were towards the well-known social hall called Cloud Nine on the first basement floor of the hotel and a membership-only high-end bar.

So, of course, I was stopped for a while at the entrance.

“Can I know your name and reservation?”

“ This is Hong Jooyoung. It must be reserved for mauve at 20:00.”

"Ah! Yes!"

As soon as I finished my words, the man who seemed to be the manager who was guarding the entrance immediately bowed his head and greeted me.

and guided me

The best special room here.

I immediately opened the door to the special room and entered.

"uh. It’s been a while, Jooyoung.”

Inside, Yeon Bora, whom I haven't seen in a long time, and Jin Ah Jeong from the Gusan group, who are one year older than me, were sitting there.

"Huh. Long time no see. And Jin-ah noona, it’s been a long time.”

She exchanged her greetings with Yeon Bora, the organizer of the meeting, and also greeted Jeong Jin-ah, who was sitting next to him.

“It’s been a long time. I saw you at the last meeting. Together with Sooyoung.”

A meeting where the future was missing.

However, Jin-ah Jeong said insignificantly.

Leaving the future mauve next to her.

"Yes. I think so.”

However, I am not in a position to take care of the future separately, so I roughly accepted those words and naturally buried myself on the soft sofa.

Because the name Myungjin is not a weak name to the point of being nervous and withdrawn here.

Not long after that, Daesung's Kim Chul-min and Dae-yu's Seo Young-jin, the oldest two years older than me, joined in one after another.

“Hey. How much is this?”

"So. We had to see each other often.”

“When we were young, we met often at various meetings. Isn't everyone too busy?"

“What should I do? Learning this and that at home is very busy.”

At first, they were not interested at all, but as if they had a great interest, there was a series of conversations asking about their current status and well-being.

of course me too

And when a little bit of high-quality spirits went into it, the eyes gradually turned to light purple.

Because she made this place.
