The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 183 - Imprinting

Chief Officer of Essence of the Strait's tower subjugation team, 'Kim Youngjin', guessed the contribution rankings for Medea's quest.

First was the destruction of the demon's control towers.

In this aspect, guilds were severely lacking. This was because relationships between guilds had deteriorated to the point that cooperation was near impossible.

One side would suddenly ambush the other after planning to cooperate, or one side would suddenly say different things than what was originally discussed. Although no one would ever find out, these conflicts were all caused by Jain, who were messing with them in disguise.

While the guilds' relationships were in shambles, an 'irregular' had taken care of the control towers.

Even to this day, Kim Youngjin became dumbstruck whenever he thought about it. He had woken up like any other day, but three control towers had been destroyed without leaving behind a trace.

That day, leaders of each guild quickly ran to the places where the tower 'existed'.

However, the only thing that was left there were remnants of the tower and a black lotus symbol engraved with magic power.

As Essence of the Strait's executive, Kim Youngjin knew what the black lotus symbolized, as Pandemonium's serial terror incident was something high-ranking Heroes often talked about.

In any case, 'Black Lotus' had taken all the contribution points related to control towers.

Shocked by this incident, the guilds came together and conquered the final control tower. It was thanks to this that Kim Youngjin was able to achieve at least the Ruby-rank.

Next up was the hunting of demons and undead monsters near the city.

Although the rewarded contribution points were lackluster compared to destroying the control towers, analysts from guilds concluded that one was able to achieve Gold to Ruby-rank by faithfully doing this.

Finally, there were the various quests.

Prestige's quests were determined to also give contribution points. Although not all quests gave contribution points, some quests, like the [Lv.3 Longsword Forged with Ice Crystal] quest Chae Nayun received, gave rewards that made any Player envious.

'...In that case.'

Kim Youngjin looked around the reception hall nervously.

Exactly 100 Players were in the hall. They were the top 100 Players in terms of contribution points.

The 100 Players were all sitting around a long table, looking at each other. At first glance, they seemed to be on equal standing, but in truth, there was a clear hierarchy among them.

First were the ones close to Medea.

One Diamond, three Emeralds, and six Rubies including Kim Youngjin himself.

Although the Diamond seat had yet to arrive, the most eye-catching Hero was... the Emerald seat's Aileen.

"Ah, I'm starving. When is the administrator getting here?"

The Hero Association's ultimate weapon, known as the 'Human Dragon' and the 'Final Spirit Speech Master'. This white-haired expert was a true giant, and Kim Youngjin felt honored to be in her presence.

She had made great contributions in the destruction of the western control tower and slaughtered a countless number of undead monsters. She was undoubtedly worthy of sitting on the Emerald seat.

"The most important person isn't here yet."

At that moment, 'Seo Youngji', the high-rank Hero sitting next to Kim Youngjin, whispered. Kim Youngjin was also thinking of the same thing.
