The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 188: End of the 11th Round (1)

“Are we really in first place?”

Jo Yong-ho stared at the results screen, his mouth agape in disbelief.

He blinked and rubbed his eyes, but the screen didn’t change.

With 34 million points, South Korea was at the top.

However, what was even more surprising was the individual results.

“Black Scythe is in first place!”

“Did he really gather 20 million points by himself? Is that even possible?”

“What is this? A bug?”

The astonishment continued, and everything seemed uncertain except for one thing.

No one could refute Jo Yong-ho’s statement, and the mercenaries nodded in agreement.

South Korea should have been stuck around the 90th place with just 13 million points, but he single-handedly catapulted them to first place with 20 million points.

Even if there wasn’t a specific reward for being in first place, it undoubtedly elevated the country’s prestige.

“Unbelievable. 20 million points on his own.”

“Isn’t Black Scythe a Korean player?”

“He’s truly amazing.”

“I want to visit Korea now.”

Players from other countries who were watching also shook their heads in disbelief at Black Scythe.

Even the angels were astounded, which said it all.

[Wow… How did you manage to gather 20 million points by yourself? This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. Did you really win the gambling game? Black Scythe?]

Ryu Min didn’t deny the angel’s question.

“Yes, that’s right.”

[It’s not easy to bet everything on a 1.5% chance. Is this what it means to have the qualities of a gambler? You’re quite a remarkable human.]

Even the angel was impressed by the Black Scythe.

Some were shaking with rage, glaring at the Black Scythe with anger.

[Then, as promised, the representative of the unified zone will be granted to the first-place winner, the Black Scythe! As a reminder, the authority power of the remaining representatives will be revoked!]

[Player ‘The Black Scythe’ has become the new representative of CA-EA001.]

Ryu Min smirked as the message popped up.

‘Finally, I’ve become the sole representative of the zone.’

Previously, with many zones, there were frequent unifications and changes in representatives, but not anymore.

With the zones now unified into one, he was the sole representative and the only one who could use the authority of dominance.

‘Now, if I want to, I can command the players as I please. Well, I’ll save it for the final moment.’

Since opportunities were limited, it was best to save the authority as much as possible.

[Now that the results are out, it’s time to eliminate all the teams ranked below 95th place.]

“N-no! Angel, please!”

“Don’t do this…!”

As the angel signaled, the elimination process began.

Half of the teams screamed as they turned to ashes and scattered.

[Now there are exactly 40,021 survivors. That’s quite a lot, isn’t it?]

‘Quite a lot, my foot…’

Compared to the beginning, only 30% were left, yet the angel made it sound like a lot.

[Congratulations to the 95 surviving groups. Rewards will be given to the top three individuals.]

As soon as the angel finished speaking, messages appeared one after another.

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest as the first place in the zone!]

[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ is ranked first in this zone.]

[As a reward for being the first place in this zone, you have received a ‘Material Package’!]

[As a reward for being the first place in this zone, you have received a ‘Rune Package’!]

[As a reward for being the first place in this zone, you have received a ‘Special Reward Selection Box’!]

The rewards for this round were generous, as promised, with three items granted.

Ryu Min smiled as he first used the rune package.

[You have used the Rune Package.]

[Congratulations! You have received the ‘Rune of Expansion’!]

[The acquired rune will be automatically engraved on the player’s body!]

[Rune of Expansion]

– Effect: Allows the wearer to equip one additional ring.

‘Hmm, that’s quite useful.’

Usually, only one ring could be worn.

But thanks to the Rune of Expansion, he could now wear two.

‘Given the importance of items, being able to wear one more ring is a huge advantage.’

Satisfied with the good rune, Ryu Min used the material package as well.

[You have used the Material Package.]

[Congratulations! You have received Black Iron Powder!]

[Congratulations! You have received Bubbling Magic Liquid!]

[Congratulations! You have received Shiny Horse Tail!]

[Congratulations! You have received New Material Leather!]

[Congratulations! You have received Blueprint: God-tier Gloves!]

Numerous god-tier materials filled Ryu Min’s inventory.

They even provided a blueprint, as if urging him to make a god-tier item.

‘I don’t need the blueprint. I already know all the crafting recipes.’

Even just selling the blueprint in the market later would bring in a huge profit.

After all, it was a god-tier item crafting blueprint.

‘The only missing material is the Condensed Aether.’

It doesn’t matter, though.

Ryu Min had the Condensed Aether obtained from killing the Archangel Remiel.

‘With this, I can make my third god-tier item.’

The crafting progress was faster than expected.

He didn’t expect to get Condensed Aether from killing the archangel.

‘I’ll make the god-tier gloves after I return.’

Ryu Min then used the last remaining Special Reward Selection Box.

[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]

[Please touch the desired reward.]

└ 1. Experience Points Double Increase Buff (limited to the 12th round)

└ 2. Stats 50% Increase Buff (limited to the 12th round)

└ 3. Information about the 12th round

Without hesitation, Ryu Min chose the second option.

‘Increasing stats is more important than experience points now. I can level up later.’

The angels who suspected him wouldn’t stay idle forever.

To prepare for any unexpected attacks, it was better to increase his stats.

[Have you all received your rewards? Then, we will now open the Special Shop!]

As soon as the angel finished speaking, a message appeared.

[The Special Shop has been opened in the shop window!]

[In the Special Shop, you can purchase special items with points. The shop will remain open even after the round ends, so take your time to browse and make your purchases. Oh, points will no longer be awarded, so use them wisely!]

Despite the angel’s explanation, people barely listened.

Everyone was busy checking out the shop.

Ryu Min also confirmed the Special Shop but decided to wait until he returned.

He could browse it comfortably later.

[Congratulations, everyone. See you in the next round!]

◀ ROUND 11 END ▶

[Zone CA-EA001]

└Survivors: 40,021

[Your soul will be transferred to your original dimension body shortly.]

[The 12th round will begin at midnight on December 1, 2022. Congratulations on surviving.]
