Violet’s javelin came at full power and buried in the Caicus’ heart as it was on its knees . It is so hard that it did not go through .

Boom boom!

[You have earned 200,000 points and 80,000 achievement points . ]

Koharu made the lower body into rags . She chopped it up like as though she were cutting up meat . The lower body is the center of mobility . It is just a figurehead if that collapses .

Hah!

Thump!

Koharu sits down . Her battlesuit’s energy is under 10% . She can just charge the energy, but she needs to rest in order to regain her bodily strength .

Violet was also standing up by leaning on the javelin as if it is a cane . She is not severely hurt anywhere . She is only tired as if she has run a long distance .

Ah!

Swish!

A meteor falls . The booster multiplied the speed of falling .

Cha Jun Sung became a ray of light and passed by the Caicus, cutting its shoulder in a moment of inertia . Due to this, his shoulder muscle was ruptured .

Bang!

The Caicus held back the awful pain and punched Cha Jun Sung . The impact could crumple the battlesuit, and he was pushed back as though he could drag through the ground .

Boom boom boom!

Grenades dig in where its arm is cut off and its shoulder is showing .

It may be tough on the outside, but there is nothing to do about the inside . Its shoulder is dug into and red flesh splatters out . The amount of bleeding is enough for 4 or 5 people to die .

The Caicus stumbles . Bleeding out is one thing, but he is blinded by this kind of extreme pain it is feeling for the first time . Is this death? Is it dying?

Park Jin Hyuk pours out the attacks . Cha Jun Sung is not in that great of a state either .

He took all of the hits head on unlike Koharu and Violet . He had not been able to protect his body properly like the state of the battlesuit .

With repeated attacks on its weakness, its shoulder rips . Its other parts are still hard and tough . There is no point in attacking those places .

The Caicus falls over . As it is a giant, it took a long time .

It is not dead . If they leave it alone, it can live even though it will be handicapped . It may be weaker than before, but it it will still be able to bring out the strength of a level 5 .

Cha Jun Sung dragged his ruptured shoulder and broken leg near the Caicus’ brain, and embedded the Wolf Kill in its eye .

The Caicus trembled with hollow eyes and then stopped breathing .

[Congratulations . You have cleared level C mission Closed Area . You have earned 200,000 points and 100,000 achievement points . With mission completion, you have earned 600,000 reward points and 300,000 achievement points . ]

Park Jin Hyuk, Kyoko, and Hercules came down to the battlefield . They are fine but 3 battle personnel are about to collapse – no – they have collapsed .

However, there is still a result . They left their reserve power as is and completed a 600,000 point mission without issues . This means that they can afford to do more .

“It’s a single shot even though it’s a level C, so we were able to finish it in a day . ”

“We need to pick out missions like this, though it is a disadvantage that it’s so tiring . ”

They need to repair their battlesuits and weapons, and they need to rest for a few days .

As short as the time for completion is, the greater the danger is . That is why they need to be careful . But it is still more comfortable than an ongoing mission .

“Let’s go back . I’m sure everyone will be able to purchase the weapons they want if we just do a few more?”

Violet is fine for now because she has a 3 million point weapon .

The problem is Cha Jun Sung’s group . They realized for sure while fighting with the Caicus that they need to get rid of level D now . Level C has become more desperate .

“It’ll be quick . ”

There is not long left once the points they already have and the points they earned in Closed Area are combined . And as long as they are purchasing, they will be buying other items .

***

He attacked Closed Area, the mission he had vowed to complete, with perfection . It had not even been difficult . It is proof of how much he has advanced .

Cha Jun Sung went in and out of 500,000 to 700,000 point missions with his party members because of the time limit and to purchase other items .

If levels D and E are just tastes of Life Mission, level C is where they can really start seeing the super scientific abilities in the items .

There is no longer any need to fight with battlesuits and vibrating weapons .

If they have a lot of points, they can become owners of artifacts they see in fantasy stories . It is just that they are created with science instead of magic .

They each want different gear because everyone’s style of battling is different, but there are 3 things that they all want in the level C store .

[Protect ring: 6 million points, 1 . 2 million achievement . ] [Description: A ring that forms a magnetic field defense with a 3 meter radius, with maintenance time and strength determined by energy emission . ] [Rapid charging device: 5 million points, 1 million achievement . ] [Description: An upgrade on the average charger, this is able to charge the basic battlesuit to 100% in 10 minutes . ] [Emergency return portal: 7 . 5 million points, 1 . 5 million achievement . ] [Description: Once every month, it is possible to abandon a mission under level B without restrictions regarding rules set by the assistant . ]

They need 30 to 40 million points for the time limit, 3 things, and other items . The serious aspect is that this is Cha Jun Sung alone .

With 5 people, it is a total of 150 million! Assuming they switch their equipment over time like in the virtual version, there is no end .

They are short by a lot, so Cha Jun Sung’s group put their all into missions .

After working for a few weeks, their cumulative existing and gathered points reached 15 million . They thought for a bit and then purchased the time limit and protect ring .

Excluding Violet, the party members also finished setting to top level C weapons . Their power had increased even more .

As a result, they completed a 950,000 point attainment mission within 2 days yesterday . 4 level 5s appeared, but they each took on 1 .

They each received 1 . 5 million reward points . It would be good if they achieved this each time, but their energy is low because they have been working hard .

Cha Jun Sung stopped activity so that they could rest, but there had been a lot of changes in Mechanic City while they were focused on missions .

First, the inflow of people into Mechanic City had multiplied by more than 10 . Lifers had begun to enter in earnest with differences in time .

Is that why? There are more instances of people looking for real estate, places to live .

Therefore, Cha Jun Sung used his remaining points to purchase properties located on the path from where he is, zone A area 25, to area 24 .

His party members followed suit . Violet in particular, used the Florence clan’s power to basically absorb area 25 .

No matter how trivial of an area it is, each area has a representative center . The center of area 25 is the way to cross into area 24 .

It is because facilities are there . Lifers who want to reside in area 25 will try to get near area 24 .

Fortunately for all Cha Jun Sung knows, the count for large guilds in zone A is low .

Even if they are there, they are late and Cha Jun Sung’s group was moving one step ahead . His goal is clear . He cannot take over an entire zone and area .

Cha Jun Sung wants the 5 training rooms in areas 1 through 5 of a zone . They are scarce, so he will somehow scrape up the points to buy them .

The cheapest training room in area 5 is 120 million points . If he keeps this pace up however, it is not impossible .

Other large guilds are focused on other zones and are not paying attention to zone A . It is a large piece of land without an owner . It is the key to a niche market .

While Cha Jun Sung was just hanging out, something happened that would gain the attention of all Lifers including himself .

It happened quietly, but the stirring became the beginning of an auction war .

“There are a lot . Shall we go?”

A man in his mid-30s mumbles as he looks at dozens of lucky boxes .

They are what he has gathered until now by riding buses . He is a typical bus Lifer . He is able to count the number of mutants he has killed on his own with one hand .

He focused on using the reward points to increase his wealth in reality . He knows his place well . It is impossible for him to fight a mutant and survive .

No one dies pleasantly after not knowing their place and getting involved . Lifers and friends who entered the reality version around the same time screamed .

If he had gone through missions normally? There is nothing that says the same would not have happened to him .

Even still, he persisted in missions and became a level C Lifer a few days ago . This is not as easy as one would think . There needs to be luck to cruise through it .

Ring!

He opens a lucky box . He had gathered them as a hobby . He has exactly 42 . He was going to sell them, but decided to open them for fun .

His expression goes sour . He heard that they have a terrible probability .

Opinions on lucky boxes are plastered with swears and insults on Lifer World . They are called 1 second boxes . It only takes 1 second to change $100,000 into 1 cent .

That was true . After 30 seconds, 30 boxes became worth 30 cents . Tissue, ramen, a bullet, a pencil .

“Ugh . I just wasted $4 . 2 million . ”

If he had sold them as is, they would have brought him enough to buy a mansion . It is all about to disappear . He just has 3 lucky boxes left .

He earns about 3 million in a month, has over 20 million saved, and can raise more from now on, but the disappearing 4 . 2 million in front of him seems like a waste .

Ring!

[What! No way!]

“Huh? Why are you surprised?”

When he opened the 2nd lucky box, the man’s helper coughed . It is possible for artificial intelligence to be surprised . It is a wonder as to what surprised it .

“What is this? Is it a card? Argos, did you see this and get surprised?”

The man picked up the black card in the lucky box and scanned it on the PDA . He could just ask his helper, but he can also do this .

[Top store opening card . ] [Description: If you put this card in the PDA, you can open a higher store than Lifers that are higher up can . ]

“… . . Open a store?”

The man **** his head . He is a level C Lifer . One level? Is he able to take a look at the level B store with this card?

It seems like a good thing, but it is not completely to his liking . What is he supposed to do after opening it? Even the level C store has items that are priced at millions of points .

If it is level B, it will reach over that . There is no point in it for him .

Ring!

The man opens the last lucky box . This time, a 300 point pistol came out . Ultimately, all he got out of this is this strange card .

[There’s a 1 out of 10 million chance… . . ]

“You’re saying there’s a 1 in 10 million chance to pick out this card? No way!”

[I’ll have to tell you since you don’t understand what that card is . It has a value that could shake up the balance in Life Mission . ]

Helper Argos is making a fuss . A card to open up the top store, the name and description are simple . On the other hand, its true meaning is not that simple .

It is in the description, but not included in the conditions . It may be garbage that opens up level D in level E, but it is a treasure that opens up level B in level C .

If he uses it in level B… . . ?

[It opens level A . According to the circumstances, it could even open up S . ] [A Lifer’s power comes from the store . Rather than being a step ahead of others, you could transcend an entire level ahead of everyone . ]

It might be unattainable to the man as he thought, but it is an invaluable treasure to a Lifer with ability .

What would happen if this fell into the hands of a top Lifer, someone like Cha Jun Sung?

There is just one chance . If they gather as many points as they can to go through level B body modifications and purchased items from the store, there is no guess as to how far they could advance .

“So this is an incredible thing?”

[It is beyond that . You are someone who has come out above atrocious probabilities . If you decide to take the path of a Lifer now, you could come out on top . ]

He is falling far behind as a level C, so he cannot catch up to rankers .

But if he continues with level 2 body modifications and purchases a battlesuit to gain experience, the card will handle the rest .

Even if Argos cannot tell him, level B mission will become Lifers’ graves when they need to start fighting mutants that are nearly perfect level 7s .

Only those who advance and show potential for advancement will go to the top .

“I have to sell it . ”

[Se – sell it? You’re going to sell that? What are you selling?]

If Argos had been human, it would have fainted from high blood pressure . He is going to sell the card! This is an action that helpers cannot understand .

“You think I’m crazy? If level C has level 5 and 6, isn’t level B level 7? I know from the virtual version that I can’t handle them . I’m going to sell this for a high price . ”

[*&^*%$$$#$^***^(%$$## . ]

The man did not want to hear Argos screaming, and shut the PDA off . He made his decision regarding the card .

It is true that it makes him ambitious, but he does not want to get caught up in a dream and take a rash challenge . He will sell it for a high price . He will hand it over to rankers or a large guild .
