Chapter 144 [Episode 74] Unexpected……. 1
@ Unexpected…..
Sang Hyuk, who had been ying EL Revolution beta for about an hour, after hepleted his checks he shut down the EL revolution service and returned to the main server.
Because Sang Hyuk nned to set sail after resting on the Sky Ind for only about four hours this time, Sang Hyuk logged out as soon as he returned to the main server.
He had to get some sleep if only for about three hours, so he could function tomorrow, and not hold his friends back.
Sang Hyuk, who briefly closed his eyes and woke up, looked at the reaction of users to theunching of EL Revolution before essing the game.
[EL Revolution is wonderfully fun! This should have been out from the beginning!]
[It was like they have created apletely new game. And it’s a free service! Daebak(Jackpot)!!]
[I bet it’s not free, right? ording to the reporters who attended the briefing, EL Revolution will be selling something like an avatar decoration item, right?]
[This is just an equippable item to change the appearance of your avatar. It’s not an item that affects the game bnce, so I honestly if you don’t like it, then it’s fine not to buy it.]
[Raon Soft is not apany that’s ying around with loot boxes, so don’t worry.]
[For me, item and level are lousy so limited mode is more interesting than unlimited mode. Honestly, isn’t limited mode the ce to reveal the true EL master?]
[The[emailprotected]</a>yers are nitpicking about the equipment or level. If your skill was good in the first ce, then your level and equipment must be good in the main server too, right? Honestly, I’ve tried both of them, so unlimited has the fun of unlimited and limited has the fun of limited.]
[I’ve been ying for 10 hours now…. it’s really daebak(jackpot). diator Hall was also fun, but this is a perfectly upgraded version of diator Hall.]
[I bet this will be an e-sport. I am a super ajae, who has been enjoying e-sport for 30 years since elementary, and I think it will have a stronger impact than ‘Star Wars’, which created the e-sport genre a long time ago ] (TL note: ajae is a Korean ng for ahjussi, means middle-aged man)
[I’m sure that this EL Revolution is gonna be daebak(jackpot). EL Revolution limited mode would be better than Fantasy Tekken 5, which just came out.]
[That’s right. Fantasy Tekken 5 was not bad…. but it’s notparable to EL Revolution.]
[But when does the rankingse out?]
[They said it wille out when the beta service end and the full service begins. At that time, they said, there will be solo rank matches too.]
[Wow. When the ranking system is done, it will be bloody.]
[Users who passed the[emailprotected]</a>will be involved, right?] (Ed: The author actually used “[emailprotected]</a>”. We think that the author is saying that some yers caused amotion, by doing well, but hiding their identities, but you can’t hide the “stink” of their high level skills. Yes, the trantor and I were very amused when we discussed how to trante this passage. )
[I nned to y the limited mode. I’m just going to give up on ying on the main server and just y in limited mode only in the future.]
[When the pro-gamers appear, all of us will be keeping our heads down anyway, why are you talking so much?]
[Are the pro-gamers special? If you are a ranker then you can be a pro-gamer.]
[Wow, how high is the VRA(Virtual Reality Ability) for pro-gamers?]
[Oh, I’m starting to get obsessed about VRA.]<u><li>?????</li><li>?????</li>
As expected, Sang Hyuk was as popr as he was in his previous life. Rather, because of the limited mode, it felt that he became more popr than in his previous life.
Of course, the appearance of EL Revolution was not weed by all users.
Users who enjoy the old PvP(yer vs yer) mode called ‘Field PvP’, imed that PvP isted by the system like EL Revolution was not “authentic” PvP.
But they were the minority, not the majority.
And it’s definitely not that the old PvP haspletely disappeared. There were conflicts in many ces as always, and they would be resolved in the “old style” PvP.
Especially, when guild wars happened, the field became a fierce battleground dripping with virtual blood.
After all, those who were the most vocally nostalgic for the “old style” PvP meant that they were theme people who had never fought yer versus yer before.
Sang Hyuk, who looked at the situation, went straight into the game.
And at a simr time to Sang Hyuk, Gye Baek and Dark Knight were also connected.
The Blue Sky Sailing Route quest had already been renewed yesterday, so it was time to go out to the Sky sea.
* * * *
“So you mean, we y EL Revolution’s 3:3 as the three of us, as the team we made, Team Rush?”
“Yeah, right.”
Sang Hyuk chose his words carefully as he steered the Ink ck Dragon to the Skyway.
“You don’t have to, I just thought to try it once, so what do you think? Is that okay?”
“I’m sure it’s going to be the content that represents EL in the future.”
“Is it that much? Is it much better than diator Hall?”
“Yeah, it’s the perfect version of the upgraded diator Hall.”
“Hoooo…. Then, I definitely join in.”
Gye Baek was originally a user who spent almost all his time at diator Hall, so there was no reason to object.
[I also think it’s good… but if that happens, will it disrupt the Middle Layer exploration?]
“Ah,e to think of it, it can be like that.”
Gye Baek nodded and muttered at Dark Knight’s words.
In fact, Sang Hyuk was originally worried about this, so he wanted to y EL Revolution alone as much as possible until he arrived at the Continent of the Sun.
He wanted to reduce the y time to a minimum so that it wouldn’t interfere with the Middle Layer Exploration. However, after he yed the EL Revolution in the spare time for a few days, it was hard to stop ying.
So Sang Hyuk came up with the idea that the three of them would team up and enjoy it together.
“Honestly, it’s going to slow down a bit. But that doesn’t mean someone is going to catch up. Other users are still out at Red Mountain, but we’re already past the 14th Sky Ind and on our way to find the 15th Sky Ind, right?”
The difference between Team Rush and other users was at least two months, even if it was pessimistically calcted. This was the result of the assumption that the other party had a boat as fast as Ink ck Dragon, so it was actually a difference of three or four months or even more.
Especially, when he remembered his past life, it took a long time for users to get out of Red Mountain so he thought that the difference would be even greater.
Of course, Sang Hyuk had no idea about the Reverse One Fleet. Since the Reverse One fleet kept their departure thoroughly confidential and had an almost perfect entry so there was really no information about the Reverse One fleet at all.
If Sang Hyuk used all his power and gotten the information he could have figured it out to some extent but Sang Hyuk was caught off guard this time.
“Every time we dock, we always have a little bit of time left, right? Let’s make the most of that time.”
Gye Baek has been absent from ying PvP for a while, so his body seems to be itchy.
[I also definitely agree to this teaming up.]
Dark Knight, too, had noints about teaming up.
“Great, so when we get to the next 15th Sky Ind, we’ll y together….[emailprotected]</a>!”
Sang Hyuk had been nodding as he spoke, but suddenly turned the Ink ck Dagon’s key to the right.
Khuooooong!
A Sky Whale suddenly surfaced out of the Sky Sea! The Ink ck Dragon almost received a serious blow thanks to the powerful concealment provided by it’s camouge ability.
Instantly, Sang Hyuk had recognized the danger and did a crash evasion maneuver, so no damage was taken at all.
“8th grade Sky Whale…. Ready for an emergency battle!”
The 8th grade Sky Whale wasn’t difficult for Team Rush. They were just a little surprised because it was able to hide itself using camouge skills.
Sang Hyuk took full control of Ink-ck Dragon on the turbulent Sky Sea and quickly prepared for battle.
Of course, neither Gye Baek and Dark Knight were panicked because a battle with Sky Whale on Sky Sea was so frequent.
This of course was natural.
Team Rush had a 100% adapted to Middle Layer.
Team Rush, who quickly defeated the 8th grade Sky Whale, arrived at the 15th Sky Ind in a few hours.
As soon as they arrived at the Sky Ind, the three of them joined EL Revolution together.
EL Revolution and the main server shared the friend list, so Sang Hyuk was able to apply for a team directly with Gye Baek and Dark Knight.
Sang Hyuk applied for the team’s first 3:3 fight. The rule of the 3:3 battle was simr to diator Hall with a bit of a difference.
But for Team Rush, the rules didn’t matter much. In fact, Sang Hyuk was strong enough to confront three people alone.
Even with the limitations, Sang Hyuk’s strength was hard for the average user to deal with.
In this situation, with two strong allies, Gye Baek and Dark Knight, the results were easy to predict.
Team Rush battled for exactly five rounds, and all five were victories. The required three victories out of five battles was too easy, even against teams made up of users who ranked at least 1000th in the diator Hall.
“Wow, this is the best….. it was a lot more fun than diator Hall.”
Gye Baek looked very satisfied and Dark Knight nodded happily.
“Let’s run as a team like this often in the future.”
Because Sang Hyuk also enjoyed ying with the two of them as expected, so he said this while smiling.
* * * *
Time kept flowing and Team Rush broke through the Middle Layer as quickly as possible, while also enjoying the EL Revolution.
Everything went smoothly. Even if Sky Whales or Pirate Ships were strong, Team Rush was stronger. Especially the strength of Sang Hyuk, who is the center of Team Rush, was amazing to the extent that even the team members Gye Baek and Dark Knight were surprised.
In the main server and EL Revolution, Sang Hyuk, no, Immortal showed why he was the one called the strongest of Eternal Life.
Two monthster, Sang Hyuk’s party, who arrived at the 74th Sky Ind, had reached almost halfway through the Sky Sea. It took exactly three months to get here.
It took a little longer than Sang Hyuk expected. Sang Hyuk had wanted to break through the Middle Layer in half a year and arrive at the Heavenly World. But this wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
Because not only that Sky Sea was a tougher ce than he thought, EL Revolution was also added as a new variable, so it was a half month slower than expected.
Because Sang Hyuk enjoyed showing off his invincible force and yed like crazy, it was clear that this dy could have been much worse.
From amon-sense point of view, it took three months to break through half of it, so Sang Hyuk thought that it would take another three months to break through the other half…. But Middle Layer has a rising structure, the further you go, the more difficult the path.
After the 74th Sky Ind, 5th grade Sky Whales and Pirates Ships appeared once they left the windless zone (TL note: calm and safe zone), but there was a big difference between grade 6 and grade 5, that could not bepared to an increase by a single grade.
After Sang Hyuk and his party arrived at the 74th ind safely, they decided to level up. Sang Hyuk decided to go to level 61 and open an awakened slot by reaching level 61, while Gye Baek and Dark Knight wanted to reach level 58 to get two general skill slots.
It’s been roughly four days since they came to the 74th Sky Ind, but they still haven’t reached levels 61 and 58.
At this pace, they would have to stay here for four more days to reach level 61 and level 58.
Sang Hyuk’s party rode on the Ink-ck Dragon and was looking for Sky Whales just off the coast of the 74th Sky Ind. They thought they could level up in about 4 days by hunting up to five Sky Whales.
If they could find Sky Whales earlier then they could level up in three or two days, not four days.
So, the three of them focused on finding Sky Whales.
How long they wander around like this?
They saw a suspicious shadow in the distance.
It was most likely a sky whale or pirate ship. But unfortunately, this time the most likely possibility was wrong.
“That…..”
Sang Hyuk was the one with the furthest vision among the three of them.
Sevenrge Sky-grade Ship caught his eyes.
This unexpected moment…. The unknown strangers had appeared.
