Chapter 301
Areas with extreme environments and extremely difficult levels that do not allow anyone to approach or visit. In Arcadia, which was originally divided into 8 continents, there were prohibitions with unique characteristics on each continent.
A swamp full of poison that melts everything.
A huge lake in the abyss whose end cannot be measured.
A mysterious labyrinth where you cannot find the exit once you set foot in it.
Even ancient ruins of unknown origin, full of all sorts of strange magic traps.
A place like hell in reality, where monsters of enormous levels are lined up, all kinds of dangerous traps and harsh environments await.
Residents living in Arcadia are notorious geumgo that tremble in fear just by mentioning them. However, now, several golden regions of the Korean continent have revealed their value by revealing the reality of what was hidden within them.
[come! All you tramps and slobs. This is the home of your brethren, the true home of freedom. As wanderers adventuring the vast ocean, go with us!]
[Hmm... Do you carry these as equipment? Come and see what we made in our studio.]
[You want to be friends with the spirits? I\'m sorry, but my appearance isn\'t enough for that.]
The Caribbean, the free city of the Black Pirates and criminals.
Sands of Forge, the underground city of the dwarves.
A friend of spirits and the center of the world. The world tree and the home of the elves.
Active exploration of ice bugs and monster lands that had not yet been explored once became popular among users who noticed that a huge narrative affecting the entire continent was hidden in these forbidden areas.
-Don\'t you think there\'s something about Ice Bug and Monster Land?
-It smells like something important, but... I don\'t know.
- ?? If you look at Caribbean or Shumil and Amil, there must be a hidden jackpot.
-Who doesn\'t know that? The problem is how to find it.
Areas where the developer is sure to have something hidden.
However, those who started with passion as they had the intention of intentionally screwing the users, eventually fell out without being able to overcome the extreme hardcore spiciness.
-Wow..... The heat of Schmille is okay, but what the hell are you supposed to do with ice bugs?
- Lol lol. It was so cold that I finally froze.
- I can\'t stand it with quite a few items, but it doesn\'t seem like there\'s anything in particular.
-Did you really make Monster Land out of your mind? I have to do it in moderation. How many monsters are there?
-Really;; The twin head ogre, a raid mob, is treated as a normal monster there haha
- There is a lot of evidence that the developers haven\'t made it yet. It seems that this clenched teeth prevented users from coming?
-The level of the monsters is too high. It\'ll be resolved someday, but it\'s too early for now.
Two geumyeok that are widely evaluated that it is not the time yet.
Monster Land and Iceberg.
However, his expedition team, including Jungsik, was already moving to this place, which was already known as an impregnable area to many users.
“From now on, the place we will enter is Iceberg. I know you guys have a bad reputation. It is estimated that clues to the quest I am progressing may be hidden here.”
Because of CEO Jo Seo-wook\'s earnest request, the entire process is broadcast live through real-time streaming. And while briefly talking about where he was heading, he began introducing players who would start exploring with him.
“There are many difficulties in conducting the exploration alone, so I decided to help a few people I know personally this time. Casillas, Angelina, and... Gaeko.”
“Hello viewers.”
“hello.”
“nice to meet.”
Gaeko, Angelina, and Casillas give a short greeting to the viewers who will look at them from the point of view of lunch. Along with their appearance, users who knew the destination sent an explosive response.
-Ice bug...? Are you going to that crazy place?
-Wow..... Dumb son, how did you get the related quest there?
- That\'s great. If it\'s a quest there, isn\'t it the minimum main scenario level?
-Really. But is it possible to break it with just that many people?
- Our power wizard is there, so maybe it\'s possible...?
- Lol lol. To be honest, that crazy bitch looked stronger than Casillas.
-But the status abnormality level there must be very high... Will the equipment be that much?
People who are interested in the fact that Angelina and Casillas are joining, and people who have doubts about whether it is possible to attack Ice Bug to this extent. And soon, they looked at a person standing with an extremely awkward smile, wondering if it was their first broadcast.
- Gaeko is a nickname I\'ve never heard of. Who are you?
-I know? I\'ve never even heard of it.
-Hmm..... Isn\'t that him? hidden hunter.
-Hidden Hunter?
-You know.... An explorer who excavates all sorts of hidden content by changing to a hidden class that is a secret seeker or something.
Secret Chaser Gaeko.
Personally recruited by CEO Seo-wook Cho, he was a true fan of the setting since he first started playing the game.
“Hmm.....”
The first day Arcadia\'s Korean service was launched. Even in the process of breaking the tutorial quests and adapting to the game, he spent a long time in the library, immersed in a book that described the history of Arcadia in detail.
[The History of Arcadia: 2]
The 2 books that the dozing librarian handed over from his chest of drawers. Inside, his eyes lit up as he read the phrase that recorded the actions of Ezul, who was known as the legendary explorer.
[Izul, who had a reputation as an outstanding explorer and archaeologist. After retiring, he spent the rest of his life in Edelin until the last moment, and it is said that he donated precious items he had used for a long time to the village and hoped that all the villagers would remember him forever.
] I\'m talking about the beginner\'s village.”
An old place name in history books. Knowing that Adelin meant the beginner\'s village he was in, Gaeko couldn\'t pass this phrase over.
‘In that case...does that so-called memento still exist?\'
Thoughts pass quickly through my head.
And from then on, he started wandering all over the beginner village and asking the villagers just in case.
“Ezul...? Well... I think I\'ve heard of it, but I\'m not sure...”
“What? keepsake? Hmm... Where did you hear that story?”
“Hmm... I think Grandpa Jake told me about the legendary explorer in the past.”
“The owner of that necklace? I know who it is, but until you do me a favor, there\'s nothing!”
From searching for hundreds of NPCs based on dozens of keywords, wandering around beginner villages, and solving all sorts of miscellaneous quests to increase intimacy and liking.
Gaeko was finally able to see the fruits of his efforts after going through all sorts of hardships in the beginner village for more than a week.
[I found a keepsake of the legendary explorer Ezul.]
[I acquired the item ‘Ancient Gloves Imbued with Magic\'.]
[I acquired the item ‘Ancient Goggles to Peep into the Past\'.]
[Izal\'s Exploration Item Acquired ‘record journal\'.]
[I changed my job to the hidden class Secret Chaser.]
.
.
.
Gaeko, who inherited Ezul\'s legacy and was transferred to a hidden class called a secret pursuer. Immediately after changing jobs, the beginner village itself was blown away by slimes that became stronger for unknown reasons, but since then, he has been traveling all over the continent, finding all sorts of hidden content and enjoying his own adventure.
“This is the first time I am greeting you through an official iPlus channel broadcast. It is called Gaeko, who specializes in excavating only hidden contents. I also do exploration while accepting various requests, but this is the first time that we are merging together on a different channel. I am also running a channel, so please check it out and subscribe! great! Until notification! please!”
-??? What is that minus?
- Even the channel ads are perfect. There is no other line to hang on to.
- Originally, a person who behaves like that is a bomb.
-Press the light and wait for it to come.
Viewers don\'t seem to react well.
Because it was not possible to see such a reaction in real time, Jung-sik put on a slightly embarrassed expression, but soon opened his mouth in a hurry and changed the topic again.
“Then...then I’ll really try to enter.”
An area that has completely turned into a land where everything is completely frozen based on a certain point. As soon as Joong-sik stepped into the boundary line with a nervous face, messages began to appear in front of his eyes.
[You have entered Ice Bug, the land of death where an endless cold storm rages.]
[Warning. This is an unexplored area without a base.]
[Beware of the rapidly changing natural environment and monsters\' attacks.]
With the message that they have entered the ice bug, Jung-shik enters a world full of white ice in front of him. And not long after, a powerful knife wind that seemed to cut flesh began to blow at them.
Wheein.
The severe cold that did not allow other users to step in. Strangely, however, only warm warmth could be felt from Jung-sik, who was wearing plain work clothes.
Whoops.
Red aura subtly emitted from the hammer of Vulcan attached to his waist. And soon, a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[The protection of fire has been activated.]
[The energy of hot flames protects the player.]
Vulcanus, the god of flame and steel.
Is it because of the hammer that contains his divinity or because of the quest that Jung-sik is currently working on?
I don\'t know exactly why, but because his strength was blocking the ice bug\'s cold, Jungshik was able to walk around here as well.
-??? what.
- It\'s strange. I got frostbite and freezing right away.
-Even a paladin with a lot of stamina couldn’t last more than 5 minutes here.
-What\'s your attribute resistance rank?
Viewers are puzzled by the Chinese food that looks so fine. To them, Jungshik shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“Umm... I don’t know exactly, but they say that the blessing of fire has been activated. Maybe it\'s because of the quest?”
-Is that so...?
-Somehow..... Then, the condition for entering Ice Bug is to acquire related quests first?
-I see..... But why are the other people like that?
People who seem to understand something. However, they looked at the three people standing behind Jungshik with completely different looks and asked curiously.
“Ugh..... It\'s cold...”
Gaeko gritted his teeth with a pale blue face.
And, unlike him, Angelina and Casillas are standing indifferently with perfectly normal faces.
Looking at the three of them, they asked.
-The poops are like that, but why are those two like that?
-I know? I think Gaeko will freeze to death in a while.
-Looking at Gaeko, I don\'t think it\'s a buff that can be shared with party members..... Why are those two so fine?
Viewers who reacted incomprehensibly. Watching their reactions, Casillas and Angelina said it was not a big deal at the middle-class eyes that seemed to ask what had happened.
“I don’t take this much damage because I have 2 ranks of ice attribute resistance.”
“I\'m... Elemental Mastery Rank 3, so it\'s okay to be dizzy.”
-Ice attribute resistance... 2nd rank...??
-??? If you master the Elemental... that\'s of such a terrible difficulty...?
-That... up to the numerical rank...?
- Fuck. No matter how much you win the title of the World\'s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament three times, it\'s absolutely impossible.
-Ha haha It looks like a gura, but if you look at that fine thing again, it seems like it\'s real..... It
feels like selling something, but it\'s an ambiguous situation to argue. However, Jung-shik, who was as surprised as these viewers, opened his eyes wide and asked Casillas.
“How did you raise your resistance skill to that level?”
“How did you upload it...?”
Casillas thought for a moment about the question, then waved his fingers in the air. Then he floated a title above his head and said,
“It worked because I did what my master told me to do.”
[Dragon Lord\'s disciple Casillas]
