Golden Goblin (5)
Before the second Ares opens.
People all over the world were very curious about Ares after the server integration.
Also, what is the most important thing in the second Ares?
Lee Se-jin’s press conference room, where the most reporters gather.
A reporter asked a question.
“What do you think is the most important thing in Chapter 2?”
The most important thing in Chapter 2.
This was a question that users who enjoyed Chapter 1 might be curious about.
“It’s a preemptive strike.”
“Preemption?”
“Yes, there will be a ton of new content in the second Ares. You’ll reach new places, see materials you’ve never seen before, and encounter unexpected beings. This endless content. It will be really important to be able to secure this content first.”
Why is something like preemption so important?
The reporters who had thought so soon realized Sejin’s intentions.
It’s important. And it’s incredibly important.
If ordinary users get the upper hand, they can sell that information for a huge price.
Also, high-level users and high-rankers will be able to advance and become stronger based on what they have already secured.
This was especially true of the game Ares.
First, initial, pioneer, first entrant.
They all reap special rewards.
To that extent, preemption was a very important thing in Ares.
***
A woman emerged from the capsule in a panic.
Her name is Yongwol.
“no…….”
She was tearing at her own hair.
She was forcibly logged out by Hyunsoo and dropped the item and armor.
“Why did you have to drop it… …!”
I also ended up dropping other things.
It is related to the ‘preemption’ that Lee Se-jin spoke of.
Yongwol got it in the first chapter of the adventure.
She was so clever that she had no doubt that she would be able to monopolize and monopolize information from the second Ares.
‘That’s something that money can’t buy!’
What was especially frustrating for her was that the person who had to pick it up was Hyun-soo.
It was a map.
The name of the map is ‘Map to meet a new species’.
But, ironically, the map didn’t give directions, or even tell you what race you were.
In other words, it was something that was not emotional.
Yongwol once spent a lot of money to visit the best appraiser in China.
The appraiser also failed to appraise the map, saying:
‘There seem to be two ways to appraise a map.’
‘Two?’
‘Yes, the first is to reach the conditions that the map wants. In simple terms, it means reaching the level. A new race. Even if you just look at it, doesn’t it seem like content that can be done later even if the second Ares is opened? It seems like you have to be well over level 450 to feel it.’
‘What’s the second one?’
‘The seal on this map appears to have been put in place by some unknown new species. Someone they call. Someone they desire. It appears that it will be released when it reaches that someone.’
‘The one you want? That’s a very rare case, isn’t it?’
‘That’s right. You’ll have to meet the level requirement. But Yongwol-nim. The value of this can’t be measured in money. All users knew that a new race would come out someday. Trying to preempt that is against common sense.’
At that time, Yongwol agreed.
New materials, new resources, new monsters, and even new dungeons they have.
The value it held was so great.
And Yongwol knew.
‘I can’t untie the suspension anyway.’
She really was a narrow-minded person.
But she didn’t know.
The map was related to Hyun-soo’s achievements.
***
Hyunsoo heard a flood of notifications.
[The leader of the rebels, Sword Master Roman, has been defeated.]
[You gain 1,119,004 experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
Hyunsoo became even stronger with this.
I leveled up 4 levels in an instant.
With this power, Hyunsoo was able to better protect his Atlas.
In addition, notifications regarding the rebels were heard.
[All 2,103 enemy soldiers who participated in the rebellion were annihilated.]

[18 soldiers and 3 knights from our forces were killed.]
[This is a remarkable achievement.]
[Contribution is accumulated according to the territory battle system.]
[You earn 75,031 contribution points.]
[The king’s successor restores peace to the kingdom by punishing the rebels.]
[It was a greedy rebellion that no people wanted.]
[The people’s trust in the king’s successor increases dramatically.]
[You gain 300 reputation.]
[You get 120 Overwhelm.]
[The amount of gold dropped increases by 10%.]
[The amount of experience gained by soldiers and knights increases by 10%.]
[All guild members’ stats will be increased from +3 to +5.]
[All stats gain +5.]
[The successor’s position becomes firm and solid.]
[But more enemies will be targeting you.]
The notification reminds Roman of what he said.
More enemies are targeting the suspension.
But Hyun-soo’s Atlas has become more solid.
[Average values are given at the end of the battle.]
[Soldiers have leveled up by 6 on average.]
[Articles have leveled up by 2 on average.]
It was a truly enormous number of level-ups.
Additionally, a significant portion of the current troops were soldiers who had previously been sleeping in Atlas.
They are followers of the saintly king who once ruled the continent.
They were also following the path of a saint, but they were anxious about battle.
Of course.
Because it was a battle where lives were at stake.
However, the number of friendly casualties was less than 20.
Of course, they didn’t know that it was a gift from Cavell and they all thought it was Hyunsoo and Nell’s brilliant strategy.
‘I have never experienced a battle like this in my life.’
‘You defeated an overwhelming enemy with a great strategy.’
‘I’ve never seen such artifacts before, they protected me and helped me defeat my enemies.’
‘He is a person worthy of nothing but admiration and respect.’
[The loyalty of the troops to you is sky-high.]
“It is an honor to serve you, my lord.”
Hyunsoo smiled slightly as he looked at them.
And there was still something left.
All the soldiers and knights took the spoils.
A representative knight prostrated himself and handed over the spoils.
“I am very happy to present this spoil to my lord.”
He was sincere.
[There is too much loot.]
[The loot is collected.]
Hyunsoo was embarrassed.
‘Is this it…?’
It was truly an absurd amount.
Hyunsoo didn’t know, but it was only natural when he remembered who he had dealt with.
Chinese users came over, gnashing their teeth, to plunder.
And in the process, just in case, I was armed with the flashiest artifacts.
Also, the amount of gold dropped in the Territory War varies depending on the strength of the opponent, and the artifact drop rate is the same.
And in the case of the rebels, they were comprised of noble knight families, led by Duke Roman, so most of them wore good weapons and good armor.
[You earn 979,401 gold.]
It is worth up to 900 million Korean won.
Another thing to note about the Golden Goblins is their artifacts.
‘This is crazy.’
A legendary rank above the legendary dropped by Pond.
One additional legendary artifact.
The three artifacts closest to the legend.
About 30 unique ones.
The total number of rare and epic items combined is 200.
If you add in the common grade artifacts, the value would be enormous.
A significant portion of this money will be used to fund land development.
Artifacts can be melted down and recreated.
‘Because it is the blacksmith’s territory.’
I can’t even imagine the synergy it will create.
The current Atlas is 20% stronger than before.
Then, Hyunsoo made a puzzled expression.
His inventory was literally full of junk.
Some of them were reacting to Hyunsoo.
Hyunsoo looked through the inventory.
I found something shiny among the full ones.
‘A map to meet a new species… …?’
Hyunsoo took it out.
[The map where you meet new species responds to you.]
Hyunsoo made a puzzled expression.
‘Why are you reacting to me?’
However, Hyunsoo also knew the value that being a new species meant.
‘if……?’
Hyunsoo had one thing to look forward to.
When people think of new races, there are two races that come to mind first.
Dwarves and elves.
Hyunsoo could welcome any of these two universally recognizable races.
What if you’re a dwarf?
‘I am a blacksmith. That is why I wanted to meet a dwarf someday.’
Dwarves will probably show a different manufacturing method from humans.
This is why it matters.
‘There is a clear limit to how much my skills can improve.’
Think of the best soccer players ever.
Even though the soccer player has reached the peak, he cannot go any higher.
From then on, it depends on condition and luck.
First, being able to learn a new production method means new growth for Hyun-soo.
second.
‘Elf… … .’
Hyunsoo thought of the Kassel estate.
The territory of Cassel was under attack by the undead.
There, Hyunsu recreated the bell of Ramas and saved the place, and was granted the lowest-grade orichalcum by Lord Kern.
‘The legendary mineral Orichalcum is a crazy mineral.’
It is light, elastic, and has excellent cutting power.
The sword that Hyun-soo holds as a precedent. The Ji-jon-do was created by the highest grade Orichalcum.
And Lord Cairne said that his ancestors had obtained it from the lands of the elves.
The land of the elves. What would happen if Orichalcum existed in a place that humans have not yet reached?
Hyunsoo looked at his 4,000 soldiers.
‘… … an army armed with Orichalcum.’
That’s a crazy idea.
But this had to be confirmed.
‘It might not exist.’
There is no guarantee that it was obtained from the land of the elves by their ancestors and that it was widespread there.
at that time.
[I have the right to feel emotions.]
Hyunsoo confirmed it right away.
“emotion.”
[The map to the new race is emotional.]
[Name will be changed.]
[Changes to the map leading to Elvenheim.]
[You only meet half of the requirements.]
[The path will open when you reach a certain level.]
[The level requirement to reach is much lower than that of regular users.]
“what?”
Hyunsoo wanted to ask this question in an old-fashioned way.
‘What is Elvenheim, you nerd!’
In the end, Hyun-soo was not given any directions, and was not told what races there were.
A sense of absurd disappointment washes over me like a tidal wave.
‘But still at a lower level than others… … .’
at that time.
[You saved the small world tree.]
The connection has been revealed.
Small world tree.
It was first discovered through Changcheon Ben, and was a crazy material that was among the highest grades among legends.
Even this material was the best in Ares for making spears and bows, and was the highest grade among legends.
But it was the first Ares.
Hyunsoo once made a hypothesis.
‘Why a small world?’
The question is whether it would be enough to simply write it as the World Tree.
The hypothesis was revealed before our eyes.
[You learn that the real World Tree exists.]
[The real world tree is calling you.]
Hyunsoo was feeling it.
There exists a new material that vastly surpasses the small world tree.
That moment.
[Supercomputer Ares responds to user Hyun-soo.]
Sejin watched the supercomputer Ares’ reaction with interest.
‘The reason why it didn’t respond to Yongwol but did respond to user Hyunsu.’
Sejin noticed that the supercomputer Ares had the same concerns as he did.
That concern was on the screen.
[His people do not necessarily have to be human.]
