BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210
Chapter 210
Min Sung looked down at Baron Cross on the ground with cold eyes and then looked back at his party.
“Bring the cat creature and elf in front of the warp gate,” Min Sung instructed.
“Y-yes, Sir.”
Ho Sung Lee bowed his head.
***
Min Sung took Bowl and Ssol to the warp gate and waited for Ho Sung Lee to bring the cat creature and elf.
He tried to use the warp gate without the permission of Baron Cross, but the warp gate wouldn’t work.
Baron Cross had already died, and the Beatrice citizens who were inside the castle had already left out of fear of Min Sung.
In the end, he had to ask the elf and cat creature how to use the warp gate.
A moment later, Ho Sung Lee appeared with the cat creature and elf.
They explained that they needed the warp gate key that Baron Cross had in order to use the warp gate.
Min Sung ordered Ssol to find the warp gate key, and Ssol obeyed.
Since Ssol was faster than any average hunter, he didn’t think it would take him very long to find the warp gate key.
“Can we go with you?”
The elf and cat creature asked while holding hands.
“Why do you want to come with us?”
“Baron Cross is dead, so if you leave, we’ll be held responsible...”
It was true.
The superior office was going to hear about Baron Cross’ death, and there was no way they would leave the cat creature and elf alone as a result.
Min Sung acknowledged that he was partly responsible for this, and he believed that they could be quite useful if he brought them around.
“For the time being.”
In response, the elf and cat creature held hands and cheered.
Min Sung sighed and waited for Ssol to return.
Ssol returned with the key in no time.
It looked like any regular key.
When he put the key into the keyhole, the portal gate opened along with a thudding noise.
Min Sung’s party, the cat creature, and the elf immediately waked into the portal gate without any hesitation.
***
The Devil Gods couldn’t help but grimace while looking at the human world’s current situation through their glass ball.
That was because as the Iris tree appeared in the human world, the human world, which was Veld’s objective, fell into uncertain circumstances.
The time when Black Slaughterer was in Beatrice was their golden opportunity to take over the human world, but there was no point in taking over the human world if it was dying away.
He might have been better off looking for the world belonging to the 1st rank player in Beatrice and try to take over that one instead.
But as long as Beatrice was open to everyone, he couldn’t do much about it.
The Demonic Realm was at the lowest rank in that new world.
That was because the Demonic Realm had been treated as the lowest of the lowest for a very long time in the discussions of a new world.
In order to turn that around, he had to get involved in Beatrice this time around.
Since he was somewhat involved with the new world, he couldn’t participate as a player, but he was allowed to bid.
Beatrice was a huge gambling board for the gods.
They invested their points, and if the results went their way, they were able to reap great rewards.
And if they failed, they had to collect points again for a long time.
For that reason, they had to be thoughtful when investing their points.
If they invested their points in a high-ranking player, they didn’t show that much growth, which led to underwhelming results.
But if they invested in novice players or low-ranking players and did it right, that was a jackpot.
Of course, if they failed, they would lose a lot of points, but Beatrice was a high risk-high return system.
Demon King Veld bit down on his lower lip.
He had nothing more to lose.
He had to gamble if he wanted to revive the Demonic Realm, which was currently at a low rank.
And in that gamble, there was one player that guaranteed good results.
Black Slaughterer.
He was certain that he could give him all the power and authority he needed.
‘I’ll invest all the points I’ve accumulated in the Demonic Realm in you, and then I’ll use that power to destroy you.’
Demon King Veld ripped the space in front of him with his claws and ran into the world of Beatrice to make his gamble.
***
[Demon King Veld has gifted you with +10,000 points.]
[Many Dionysus Gods are shocked by Demon King Veld’s gift.]
[The Dionysus Gods are scoffing at Demon King Veld.]
[Demon King Veld has gifted you with +10,000 points.]
[Demon King Veld’s continuous point contribution is beginning to agitate the other gods.]
[Player Min Sugn Kang is receiving an explosive interest from the gods.]
[You’ve surpassed 500 favorites.]
[Your reputation has increased by +100.]
[Your stats have increased by +5 as a result of your number of favorites.]
[The Dionysus Gods are gifting you points following Demon King Veld’s contribution.]
[Calculating.]
[You’ve acquired +44,800 points from the gods.]
[You’re about to rank up.]
Min Sung knitted his brows at his endless system messages.
He was wondering what all the system windows were about on his way to Newtie City through the warp gate portal.
And when he found out it was about Demon King Veld, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He also realized what kind of game the Dionysus Gods had been playing.
It was easy to see from the fact that an evil being like Veld was gifting him with experience points.
There was no way such a greedy demon king could gift him with points out of pure intent.
But regardless, he was thankful to Veld for allowing him to grow at such a fast rate.
He couldn’t turn it down anyway, and since it was of help to him in Beatrice, he intended on returning the favor later.
... With death.
Min Sung accepted the endless energy that was coming his way.
The magic power was enough to swallow him whole.
It was to the point of not knowing what to do with so much power.
He had never had this much power before, so even Min Sung was a little surprised.
He had so much power that he didn’t know how much stronger he could become if he used all of the experience points he currently had.
And that change was not only perceived by Min Sung, but Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, Ssol, the cat creature, and the elf as well.
“Sir, what is this...?!”
In the eyes of his party, Min Sung looked like the sun.
If they had known that Min Sung’s growth hadn’t even started yet, they would have been even more shocked.
Min Sung was getting ready to take over Beatrice.
He officially began his quest to level up.
***
Unlike Vanguard Frontia, Newtie City was bustling with life.
There were many players equipped with equipment, and there were many Beatrice natives as well.
Starting with the vegetable section, there were many shops lined up as well.
Since Newtie City was filled with players who were no longer novices, there were many Beatrice natives doing business as well.
They did some sightseeing as they passed on their way to their accommodation.
They booked the rooms they would be staying at. The first thing Min Sung did was not using the shop with his experience points, and he checked out the restaurant menu at his accommodation.
Ho Sung Lee and Min Sung stood side by side and read the menu.
With the help of the cat creature and elf, the menu read as follows:
[Menu]
Lamb stew
Tenderloin steak
Cheese salad
Fried sweet potato
Min Sung showed a stiff face while reading the menu.
And when Ho Sung Lee noticed this, he realized what Min Sung was thinking.
“You don’t like the menu, do you? Should I prepare some Korean food for you?”
“Where?”
Min Sung asked Ho Sung Lee.
“I’ll find out if there’s a place to cook here.”
Ho Sung Lee moved quickly.
Meanwhile, Min Sung pulled up a chair and waited for Ho Sung Lee to return.
A moment later...
Ho Sung Lee returned soon afterward and gave him an answer that wasn’t disappointing.
“They said we can use the back garden. I’ll call you as soon as the food is ready.”
Min Sung nodded and got up.
“Work hard,” said Min Sung before he walked up the stairs to his room.
Ho Sung Lee headed to the back garden and the elf and cat creature followed him out of curiosity.
Bowl and Ssol also followed.
***
The back garden was fairly spacious, and it was dark due to the shade, but it didn’t affect his ability to cook.
Ho Sung Lee took out his cooking table from his item window.
Once he opened it up, he realized it was perfect for cooking.
The cat creature and elf watched Ho Sung Lee with sparkling eyes of fascination.
When Ho Sung Lee noticed the two beautiful women watching him with admiration, he felt pride pricking up his shoulders.
“I’ll make some delicious food for you today.”
Ho Sung Lee opened the recipes Woong Jang prepared for him and began cooking.
***
While the food was being prepared in the back garden, Min Sung used his interface system to open the item shop.
He currently had +65,900 experience points.
And the points he needed to upgrade his shop to the next level was +10,000 points.
Since he had more than enough points, Min Sung upgraded his shop without any hesitation.
Followed by a light, the simple shop was upgraded to one that was bordered by dragon figures, making it look much cooler.
