Episode 122
122. God Grade
God grade.
As it is called the level of a god, it has the highest value among items.
‘Especially weapons, helmets, armour, gloves and shoes. If you match all five types to god level, it will have a tremendous set effect.’
One of them is in Ryumin’s hands.
[Combining God grade items.]
[It will be converted to an item suitable for your current job.]
[Combination successful!]
[I created ‘Thanatos’ Black Barding’.]
Thanatos’ black barding.
This is an item that Ryu Min made in the previous episode.
I looked at the item information with a smile.
[Thanatos’ Black Barding]
– Category: Armor
-Grade: God
-Defense: 2,000
-Effect: All stats +1 per level, 67% chance to attack the enemy when hit.
-Durability: 20,000/20,000
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: Barding made using the divinity of Thanatos, the god of death. Additional effects are granted when wearing a set item.
-Thanatos’ clothing set effect (1/5)
-2 set effect: ?????
-3 set effect: ?????
-4 set effect: ?????
-5 set effect: ?????
‘All stats increase per level. After all, it’s a God grade item.’
Moreover, when attacked by an enemy, there is a high probability of 67% that it can be shed.
This is useful when the opponent is too strong to handle or in an emergency situation when you have to deal with a large number of people at the same time.
An option truly worthy of a new level item.
It was natural that a smile appeared on Ryumin’s lips.
‘Plus, God grade items have a set effect, so the more you collect them, the better the synergy.’
I’ll have to gather materials again to make the next god level, but it won’t take long.
I can’t guarantee exactly when we will gather.
‘At least it doesn’t take eight months like it does now.’
The reason can be seen by looking at the additional messages that came in while creating the new level.
[It has been confirmed that the player is the first to combine god-level items.]
[‘Condensed Ether’ was obtained as a reward.]
Condensed ether, the core material of God grade.
Items that were difficult to obtain were easily given as initial rewards.
‘If you have this, it won’t be difficult to create a second god level.’
With a satisfied smile, Ryumin put on the item and opened the equipment window.
[Weapon – Death Side]
[Helmet – Devil’s Ring]
[Armor – Thanatos’ Black Barding]
[Gloves – Ogre’s Gauntlets]
[Shoes – Ghost Walk Boots]
[Necklace – Bead of eternal sleep]
[Ring – Red Eyes Skull Ring]
Except for the bead of eternal sleep, all worn items are of Unique grade or higher.
‘Status window.’

<Additional features>

[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv99]
‘Even though there is no Rune of Massacre buff, the stats exceed 500.’
That meant that if you received the Massacre Rune buff, you could exceed 1,000 units.
If you receive Minjoo-ri’s blessing, you can exceed 1,600.
‘I’m still at level 80, but this much. ‘That’s huge.’
If I had received the top human quest reward in round 8, I would have reached level 84.
‘Because the alter ego, not the main body, arrived at the destination, the escort was not recognized as successful.’
This is why the experience points for completing the human top escort were not received.
‘Anyway, for a level 80, it’s a decent amount of stats. Compared to other players.’
For other players to reach level 80, it will take at least 15 rounds.
‘But round 15 is so difficult that it is called the magic section.’
How terrible is it that there are only 50 or less people left alive?
And that too on a global basis.
‘I need to secure at least three god grades by then.’
It would be faster to reach max level before that, though.

After the round is over, most players who wake up from narcolepsy go back to sleep.
This is because mental fatigue in the other world carries over to reality.
But there is always someone who moves at the end of a round.
It was Ahn Sang-cheol.
Beep beep! Jump up!
“CEO!”
As usual, as soon as I woke up from reality, I found Ma Gyeong-rok’s hotel room.
Ma Gyeong-rok narrowed his eyes at that sight.
There is a subordinate who freely enters the CEO’s room?
I didn’t specifically call you?
“Chief Ahn? Why do you come here every time? “I don’t think I gave you the master key just for this reason.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about, what brings you here today?”
Ma Gyeong-rok was curious as he saw Ahn Sang-cheol with an unusually flushed expression.
‘What good is it?’
Will he finally have a relationship with Seo A-rin?
I hope so.
Hold on tight for now.
However, contrary to expectations, unpleasant words came out of Ahn Sang-cheol’s mouth.
“I reached level 40! “I’ve finally reached expert level!”
“ah… … is it so? That would be great, Director Ahn. “Kill my boss.”
“yes? “Ah, I’m sorry.”
“I know they are feeding it on purpose. “Don’t even say you’re sorry.”
Seeing Ma Gyeong-rok turning his head bitterly, Ahn Sang-cheol belatedly realized that his thoughts were short-lived.
I really didn’t know.
“sorry. I was so happy that I thought about the CEO… … .”
“I also want to reach level 40 quickly. But it’s still 38. “Does this make any sense?”
Ma Gyeong-rok complained at this point.
“In addition, in the most recent round, we even lost the rankings in all districts. For the first time. No, it would be like a moth to say it was taken away, so I would have to say I couldn’t climb it.”
“… … “I’m sorry.”
“1st place was impossible because there was a monster at level 80, so I thought I could get 2nd or 3rd place. However, I was pushed out by Priest and Buffer. Although one of them is her fiancee.”
Ma Gyeong-rok shed a bitter smile and filled his whiskey glass.
“It feels strange because I used to receive rewards for second and third place in all districts, but I never received it. “He thought he was definitely ahead, but at some point, he felt like he was falling behind because his level was lower than that of his subordinates.”
“Don’t be offended, CEO. Isn’t there only a 2 level difference from me? And it’s a job that’s more special and stronger than anyone else’s. You will be able to regain your ranking in no time.”
“Is that so? “If the region is merged with Black Scythe in the future, we will lose the top spot. Is there really room for a rebound?”
“… … .”
Ahn Sang-cheol remained silent.
No matter what I say now, I can’t be comforted.
It just turns you inside out.
“What level are you learning at?”
“I think I heard it was 37.”
“is it so? Still, Actor Seo won. “I don’t feel very good, though.”
Ma Gyeong-rok, who drank whiskey in one go, put down the glass with a loud sound.
“The prophet is alive, right?”
“That’s right. “I called to confirm on the way home.”
“I want to know the information about the 9th round quickly. “I will also analyze whether there is a way to quickly level up.”
“Should I call you now and ask you to come?”
“What blasphemous talk. Treat the prophet like a god. If anything, think of it as God’s representative delivering oracles. Although he is young, he is smarter than expected and can judge situations quickly. Don’t do anything that will make him look bad. Only by thinking and acting like that can we achieve a win-win situation. “It’s unfortunate that it’s us, not the prophets.”
“Oh, I understand. “I will be careful with my words and actions from now on.”
Ma Gyeong-rok was thinking.
Ryu Min, who lifted him up in front of his father.
‘Are you humble or not greedy? ‘I don’t know even if I know it.’
At that time, Ma Gyeong-rok’s cell phone vibrated.
‘Who is it at this hour?’
Instead of looking at the night view, he went towards the cell phone and widened his eyes in surprise.
He quickly picks up the phone and speaks in English.
“Christine. “What happened?”
-I am now on a plane to Incheon Airport.
“yes? “Suddenly?”
-I confirmed that most of the 8th round information you provided was true.
It has to be that way.
Because Ryumin’s prophecy has never been wrong.
Thanks to his prophecy, Ma Gyeong-rok also gained a lot of experience at the top of the 8th round human.
Maybe that’s why I was able to notice it.
“The reason I decided to come to Korea as soon as I opened my eyes… … .”
-I want to meet your business partner as soon as possible.
“ah.”
It’s as expected.
Anyone who hears the oracle has no choice but to find Ryumin.
‘There are people who have never heard a prophecy, but there is no one who has heard it only once.’
I thought that was perfect.
To that extent, Ryumin’s presence is salt and light to players.
“All right. Christine. “Let’s prepare a place.”
-thank you.
It was Ma Gyeong-rok who heard his fiancé say thank you for the first time.

Player Place.
The growth of the so-called Apple Play Market was frighteningly steep.
Looking at the number of subscribers, it can be said that almost all players around the world use it.
‘The problem is that it’s falling by half every month.’
The number of users drops by more than half every month.
Despite this, the growth rate of Apple Play showed no sign of slowing down.
How is that possible?
‘Because PlayPlay has a consignment system.’
The consignment system refers to a company that takes charge of items registered by players and sells them on their behalf.
In other words, when a seller sends an item to the company by courier, Playplay sells it on its behalf and makes a profit minus the commission.
They promise that if a problem arises with the seller’s health, the profits will be put into a family account.
‘This way, even if the player selling it dies, you can sell the item and make a profit.’
Sellers are also satisfied with being able to pass on the cost of an item to a family member in an emergency.
The consignment sales system was a win-win system for both parties.
This is why the company’s profits did not fall even when the number of users decreased.
‘In addition, as the round progresses, the level and value of the item increases.’
Even if only a very small number remain in the end, the future of Play is to become a site for VVIP users.
“So you don’t have to worry about a damn thing.”
“Haha, I was worried for no reason.”
Ma Gyeong-rok was somewhat relieved by Ryu Min’s explanation.
Worried that the company would go bankrupt if the number of users decreased each round, he called Ryu Min and shared his concerns.
As you can see, the result was nothing more than unfounded hope.
The prophet had a better understanding of the company than the businessman himself.
‘That’s right, it’s going to end in ruin in the end.’
After round 15, the number of users drops sharply.
It falls off like a cliff rather than a gentle curve.
As the number of users decreases to double digits, it has no choice but to fail.
‘At that time, of course I should shake my hands off and come out. Now I’m just eating whatever I can.’
Ryu Min hid that fact.
There is no reason to worry.
“As expected, it was a good idea to ask the Prophet. Otherwise, he might have been alone and worried about various things. haha.”
Ryu Min, who was watching, noticed that Ma Gyeong-rok’s smile had changed a little.
‘The pretense towards me has diminished somewhat.’
Ma Gyeong-rok always wore the mask of business when dealing with himself.
But today, for some reason, that boundary is being broken down.
‘I guess the credit I gave in front of the chairman played a role.’
When I read his inner thoughts, it seemed like he broke the boundary in that area.
‘Well, you probably didn’t call me to ask about the fate of the company.’
Ryu Min kept an eye on Ma Gyeong-rok.
The future vision rune allows you to see the future 7 seconds in the future.
“Well, Prophet. In fact, the reason I brought you here is for another reason.”
“I know.”
“yes?”
“You don’t have to say anything. “A guest will be arriving soon.”
As soon as Ryumin finished speaking, the door to the office opened.
Two guests from America came inside.
It was Christine and Jeffrey.
Ma Gyeong-rok looked at Ryu Min and Christine alternately with surprised eyes.
