The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 120: 8th Round Results (2)

Ryu Min completed the traitor quest as he had wished.

Then, what about the other regular group players?

Turning his gaze, they were still locked in a bloody battle with the Minotaurs.

Just as I expected.

The quest for the regular group was to escort the guild to its destination.

That is, if the carriages are still moving when all the allotted time has been used up, its a success.

Conversely, the traitor groups quest was to hinder the guild from reaching its destination.

Meaning, that the carriage must not be at the destination when the time is up for them to succeed.

But theres another condition for success for the traitor group.

That is when all the otherworldly beings are killed.

Like now.

If all the otherworldly beings in the caravan are killed, the system judges that the carriage can no longer move and determines the traitor group has succeeded.

The success message that popped up a little while ago was proof of that.

Then, did the regular group fail?

Not yet.

Since there were still a little over 5 minutes left, the system didnt consider it a failure.

That means theres still a chance.

If they can just get the carriage to the destination, the regular group can also succeed in the quest.

In other words, even if there are no NPCs, just getting the carriage to the destination fulfills the success condition.

For that to work, theres a very simple method.

Ryu Min created a clone and placed it in the leading carriage.

And he made the carriage move towards the destination.

If the leading carriage moves, the other carriages will follow even if theyre empty.

Having experimented in the past rounds, there was no doubt in his mind.

It was a cunning use of a bug in the system.

This way, both I and the regular group survive.

If his clone leads the guild to the destination, even without Ryu Min, the regular group can complete their quest.

A moment later.

[You will be moved to the waiting place.]

With that message, Ryu Mins figure disappeared.

He blinked once and arrived in the gray space where the traitors had gathered.

[Oh, the Black Scythe? Seeing you here means youve succeeded in the quest, right?]

The corners of Angel Ariels mouth turned up unpleasantly.

[Hehe, so youve chosen to save yourself by sacrificing the lives of 1,201 people? Well, theres nothing more important than ones own life. Its a natural choice.]

It seemed the angel was clueless about the situation in the other world.

[Dont feel guilty. It was a quest where one side had to die anyway.]

[And its more fun when the minority wins over the majority, right? Youve provided enough entertainment]

Suddenly, Ariels expression twisted as she stopped mid-sentence.

[What? Is this an error?]

Whats the matter?

[Ive just been informed that the regular human group succeeded in the quest. Something must have gone wrong. We need to check what happened.]

After saying this, Ariel stared into space as if looking at a system message and remained silent for a while.

The angel broke the silence after a few minutes had passed.

[This is unbelievable. Black Scythe. What have you done?]

What do you mean?

[The recorded footage shows your clone moving the carriage. Even though all the otherworldly beings were dead. Because of that, the guild arrived at the destination, and the regular group succeeded in the quest.]

Is that so? Thats fortunate.

[Fortunate? Are you saying you intentionally used your clone to make the carriage reach its destination? To save the regular group?]

Yes. Isnt it better for us all to survive together? It would be more fun that way too.

[]

Ariel was at a loss for words.

He managed to keep both groups alive? Is that even possible?

Even she, the guide, hadnt known such a method existed.

Understanding and exploiting the systems conditions for success and failure like this would otherwise be impossible.

There wont be a problem, right? Since the system declared it a success.

[Yes. There wont be a problem.]

Although Ariel was dumbfounded, she had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Black Scythe had made both groups quests succeed.

[The quest is successful. Ill send you back to your original place.]

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ryu Min was returned to the original colorless space.

Looking around, many players were blinking their eyes, waiting for the results.

Among them were Jo Yong-hos party and An Sang-cheol.

Min Juri and Seo Arin, Heo Taeseok, and Eom Jun-seok were also visible.

Everyone survived.

Only a very few had died, but the thousands he had seen at the start were all gathered in one place.

If he hadnt exploited the systems bugs, half of them would have disappeared by now.

But the disappearance due to contribution is something I cant stop.

Soon, Angel Ariel appeared in front of the crowd.

[The escort quest has ended. Surprisingly, not many humans died. Thanks to someone.]

Ariels gaze briefly, but pointedly, turned towards Ryu Min.

[For your information, since there are traitors left, there are no completers of the sub-quest. Shall we see the results now?]

The contributions were converted into numbers.

Once again, Black Scythe took an overwhelming lead in contribution.

Unlike other players, he alone swept through three guilds, collecting monsters, so it was naturally high.

Once again securing 1st place, players clicked their tongues in amazement.

But more than anything, the overwhelming level 80 stunned the players into silence.

Insane. How did he reach level 80 already?

I havent even hit level 40 yet.

Wow, I worked like a dog for 5 hours and still cant catch up to Black Scythe.

I really want to know his leveling secret.

Envy, jealousy, and awe were mixed in the gazes directed at Ryu Min.

Regardless, Ryu Min focused solely on the reward that appeared before him.

It was the reward for completing the traitor quest, obscured by a question mark.
