Round 45: Ian's Achievement (4)

TL: Haku

Editor: Hungry Panda

Sponsors: VT and MR

Herz: Jinsung, did the Summoner hit you 50 times?

His best friend, Herz's message.

Ian felt a momentary sadness of the unknown (?) What he experienced from the Summoner notice board was washed away in one go.

'As expected, Yoohyun was the only one who knew me!'

However, the blinking message mark was still not lost.

'uh? Is there anything else? '

And when he checked the message again, there was a message from Harin right below.

Harin: Ian, what are you doing? When exactly did you hit lv 50 ?! Ian jjang [1]!

It was Harin's confident message that, compared to Herz's question, had much higher credibility.

To be honest, the reason why Harin had said with confidence that a level 50 Summoner was Ian was because he had already thought that when he did the Goblin Camping Field Search with him, it was because of him, he thought he was a level higher than her.

Either way, Ian was touched.

He even felt tears in his eyes as well.

'Ah .. Harin's a good man. '

The picture of a scary girl who likes PK, Harin's picture changes positively once through cooking and next time with this message.

"I have to help her sincerely with her holiday assignment next time!"

Time feels less wasteful too.

Ian sent a response to Harin shortly after.

Ian: I just hit lv 50 and fainted until now. I just got in!

However, it seemed like Harin did not enter, as the response did not return immediately, and Ian, who wanted to brag about his own achievements, became a little sullen.

'Did Yoohyun come in?'

Ian sent a message to Herz.

Ian: Yeah, it's me. I hit lv 50 yesterday and went to bed. I just woke up .

And it seemed like Herz had already entered, because a response appeared shortly after.

Herz: Wow .. You're like a monster.

Conversation continues.

Ian: Did you send me a message to ask that?

Herz: Yes .. There is also, but I also want to say something.

Ian: Say something? Whatisit?

Herz: Not long ago, our guild occupied a base in the northern continent.

As soon as Ian heard the basic word, Ian rejoiced.

This was because he also knew how important the base section was to the guild.

Ian: Oh, really? Where's it?

Herz: If you go a little more northeast than Crupia Snow Mountain for about a quarter of a day, there is a place called Lokor Snowfield, right there.

Ian: How is the base size? Did you get a good place?

Herz: Yes, the size is quite large and the location is good.

Ian's mood got better.

His mood was as if he had scratched a 500 Won [2] lottery ticket without much anticipation, but won 50,000 Won [3].

Ian honestly did not even anticipate for the Lotus guild to take over a decent base through this expedition.

This was because, firstly, he knew how fierce the guilds participating in the northern and second expedition were, it was true that the Lotus guild was a powerful guild that existed in the top 5%, as well, but compared to the giant guilds that were in the top 10, their strength was nothing.

Ian: Great. I did hear that you guys were going on a northern expedition, but I don't even expect you to get a good base. Thanks for the hard work.

Herr: We were just lucky, I guess.

And Ian can find the biggest reason why Herz sent the message.

Ian: Ah, then, did you contact me for help with the base clearing operation?

Herz: As expected, you're smart. Correct . But not exactly at the moment, because the level of monsters here is quite high. They are at least over lv 70. If you go a little further, there are also monsters that approach 100.

Ian: Then I might be able to help after I get closer to 70.

Herz: Yeah. I think so .

Ian: Okay, you have nothing else to say, do you?

Ian stood up and brushed aside to finish the message and went hunting, but before long, another unexpected message arrived.

Herz: Ah, right, I almost forgot.

Ian: Huh? Whahuh?

Herz: Can you stop raising levels for a week and wait?

Ian: …? Wh why?

To prevent Ian from leveling up for a week, it was something that would not happen with him.

However, with the continued words from Herz, Ian could not help but become confused.

Herz: It's only one week until the Empire Arena opens. What do you think about maintaining level 50 and coming out as a beginner?

Ian's eyes grew slightly.

'Ah, why didn't I think of that? Even Herz, who didn't even rearrange his character, was thinking about it … '

To be honest, Herz had only thought about it from Kroban's story not long ago about him participating in a rookie league and getting 50,000 FAME, for no other reason.

And since the first person Herz thought of when he heard the story was Ian, then he mentioned it to him.

Kaimon Empire and Luspel Empire Arena are opened on the first day of each month as an alternative.

And when last month the Kaimon Empire arena opened, it was Luspel Empire's turn to open their arena this month.

Once everything progressed to the finals, the winners would earn a large amount of Fame and powerful items comparable to their rankings, so many users thought they were strong challenging the arena every month.

And two leagues are always open at the same time for the Empire Arena.

One is the combined league, where each user can participate, and the other is the beginner league, where only users under lv 50 can participate.

Herz advised Ian to keep level 50 for just a week and participate in the rookie league.

Ian: Ah, right, arena1Urgh, why forget about the Empire Arena?

Ian's face was covered in tears, to have him delay levelling up for a week was a huge torment.

Ian blamed himself.

'If it's going to be like this, why am I even only sleeping an hour or two a day and reaching 50?'

Facing his depression, to the point that he regretted in the past for not thinking further.

Herz: Why else, that's because it's almost impossible to reach lv 50 before August 1. Even I don't think you can reach level 50 this fast.

Herz's words are very true.

The point when Jinsung turns into Summoner is Kailran renewal day, June 20.

And how could he have thought that Ian would reach over 50 in a short period of just a month and about ten days until the day the Empire Arena opened on August 1?

To be honest, it wasn't a night like Ian didn't remember the Empire Arena while resetting.

“I just thought that I needed to level up as much as I could before the arena opened. '

He did not even think that he would hit lv 50 and have one week left free.

Ian: Ergh ... One week is a little extravagant, but to not participate when I reach lv 50 at the right time would be foolish, right?

Herz: Don't ask when you already know the answer. Even if you go out and make the Top 8, you get 10,000 Fame and Heroic Ranking necklaces related to your class. You know how many searches you need to do to increase your Fame 10,000, right? It is not possible with just one week.

It is the truth that Ian also knew very well.

He's just depressed.

Ian: Ha, okay. One week was a little extravagant, but I'll take a break from leveling up and doing something else, I guess.

JC: Well, good luck.

Ian, who ended his conversation with Herz, felt his strength evaporate from him.

Ian stared blankly at Bbookbbook, who had been kneeling after eating meatballs without Ian noticing, and sighed.

“Bbookbbook. ”

The bbook?

"What are we going to do for next week?"

The bbookbbook?

However, it was Bbookbbook, who would not give an answer to Ian.

“First of all, let's do a search for the Envoy that I originally planned to do. ”

Ian, who stood up and brushed himself off, slowly moved.

His footsteps somehow seemed like he had no energy.

@

Ian moved to Myuran shortly after.

In order to advance with the Envoy's quest, he needed to go to the imperial palace, but he wanted to see the Summoning Tower before that.

'Keu, there's no way I can't go and check on my achievements. '

Ian, who arrived at Myuran, headed for Flinor Square.

And when he arrived at the square, he could find the Summoning Tower easily.

“Hoho, seeing it like this is more satisfying. ”

The Summoner Tower stood tall alone a bit away from the grade tower that already existed.

Now, when users of the other new class reached lv 50, two other towers would develop next to it, but as it showed off its own splendor at this moment, it looked even cooler.

The bronze dragon statue that stood guarding both sides of the entrance of the tower was Ian's perfect style.

'Hue, I like that. Since I have a lot of free time, I will enter while I am already here. '

He was always engrossed in leveling up, but while he was forced to take a break from hunting now, Ian was more relaxed than ever because he had rearranged his character.

La la - .

It was a situation where he automatically hummed to himself.

At the entrance of the Summoning Tower, there were quite a number of Summoners going in and out to receive class-related quests.

'For sure, if you're going to do a search, it's better in various ways to get a search from your class tower. '

Since Ian had two quests, the search from Oakley in the dungeon and the search for the Envoy, filling his search window, he had no intention of getting the search for the Tower of Summoners on top of that.

However, when he had completed both quests, he planned to obtain quests from his class tower as well.

'The structure of the Summoning Tower was also similar. '

While thinking about the Archery Tower that he entered and exited many times before resetting, Ian muttered to himself.

"Then, they might have an artifact clearing house on the fifth floor here, right?"

There are a lot of things to do in a classroom tower besides getting a search.

And the place Ian was looking at right now was the Artifact Clearing House, where you could exchange the contributions you made to the Tower of Summoners for items or skill books.

Since the tower was first made thanks to Ian, it was a situation where he had received many contributions.

'Since I have already received about 5 thousand contributions, I should be able to exchange them for something decent …'

Before rearranging, if he thought of the nearly 10 thousand accumulated contributions he had accumulated in the Tower of Archer, those 5 thousand were an incredible amount.

'It would be better to keep it and use it when I am a little higher level .. But if there is a good skill book, I will trade it right away. '

In terms of items, he could obtain higher ranked artifacts the higher his level was, but to exchange this time when he was only 50 was not a good choice.

However, skill books are different.

This was because if there was a good skill book, he needed to purchase it as soon as possible to improve his proficiency faster.

'Found him . As expected, it was in the same place. '

Ian, who found the donation of the clearing house, moved with a fluttering heart.

Ian's current expression was similar to the expression of a child walking into a toy store holding 10,000 Won [4] money for the first time.

As Ian approached the front of the clearing house, the NPCs who were there smiled brightly and spoke.

“This is the contribution of clearing institution. What can I help you with?"
